Chapter 133 Another World

Before sorting out the diary in a hurry, he only hurriedly scanned the opening date of the diary. It was not until he saw the content of this diary clearly that he realized that this entry was special.

As far as the content is concerned, this article is not so much a diary as a message from "himself" to him.

Compared with other diaries, the handwriting in this article is much smaller. Correspondingly, the information covered is also quite different. It is no longer those endless complaints and complaints, but narrates what I have in the diary in a serious tone. The world you know.

According to the description inside, the so-called "Black Soul" world started from a flame.

It is rumored that at the beginning of the world, the chaos was gloomy, and only the earth, stone trees, and immortal ancient dragons existed in the world, and the whole world was silent and lifeless.

Until one day, a flame ignites from the center of an ancient tree. From that moment on, there are light and darkness, cold and heat, life and death in the world. There are so-called differences, and all kinds of creatures are born at the same time. Now, the world is no longer exclusive to the immortal ancient dragons who wear rock scales and exist like inorganic substances.

And the flame that brought all this was later called the "prime fire" by the creatures.

In this way, the creatures multiplied and thrived in the brilliance of the first fire, from ignorance to wisdom, from family to settlement, and went through the process roughly experienced by the early humans in Yunqi's world, until someone discovered the "king of the king" near the first fire. soul".

The so-called "King Soul", the diary did not give too much introduction or explanation. How it appeared and why it was called "King Soul" are all vague. It is simply written that there are four copies of Wang Soul. Obtained by four beings respectively.

They are God-King Gwyn, Tomb King Neat, the Witch of Izaris and finally the "Sneaky Dwarves".

And the abilities endowed by some of the king souls they obtained are also different. The god king Gwen led the silver knight under his command to throw the golden thunder and lightning javelin in his hand, piercing the immortal ancient dragon's so-called eternal rock scales

"The First Dead" Tomb King Nite releases the miasma of death to cover the sky.

The Sorceress of Izaris and her daughters engulfed the battlefield with a storm of fire.

The three existences joined forces and finally swept the immortal ancient dragon who ruled the world before the birth of Chuhuo into history, creating a new era, the era of fire.

And the fourth king soul owner is just like the "sneaky dwarf" he is called. No one knows whether he participated in the battle of the ancient dragon that created the era, and he is in various places. It is only rumored that his commander The king's soul inside was shattered and scattered among the entire "dwarf" group.

The age of fire is bright, the sun and the moon shine alternately in the sky, the kingdom of gods is established on the ground, and Rhodeland, the land of kings, is the kingdom ruled by the god king Gwen and his gods. These gods worshiped by the world's creatures live here On Kakaden, its center is the capital of Arnoel Londo.

At the same time, human civilization has also sprung up and spread like mushrooms in this age of light, and countries or city-states such as Ulasilu, Catalina, Kalim, and Astra have been born, and the whole world is prosperous.

until……

"The fire will eventually be extinguished, and the world will usher in a dark age." This prophecy that came out of no one knows when and where began to come true.

The glorious age of fire lasted for thousands of years, perhaps more than that, but as the first fire began to extinguish gradually as predicted, the world has undergone unforeseen great changes.

The curse of immortality spreads among the human kingdoms and city-states, and the dark rings appear on those unfortunate people. They can no longer get the rest of death, but climb up from the ground again and again, and at the same time, they lose the ability to enjoy food and wine. Losing their sense of taste and their supposedly plump bodies, these cursed people began to become manic and irrational. With the increase in the number of deaths, all kinds of desires that were originally born as human beings were lost, leaving only the instinct to simply devour the soul.

At the same time, the consequences of the first fire going out are far more than that.

The sky began to turn gray, and time also became distorted. Everything in the world involuntarily moved closer to the fading primary fire in the primary furnace, as if they were absorbing the last afterglow of the primary fire as much as possible.

Just when this age of fire was about to dissipate, a god stood up, and he was God King Gwen.

Although the extinguishment of the first fire is inevitable, Ge Wen thought of a way, which is to use the souls with strong souls as firewood to throw into the first fire, so that the first fire will flourish again to achieve the purpose of continuing the era.

At that time, there was no creature in the world more powerful than Ge Wen, who was a god-king, so he decided to sacrifice himself to continue the world.

After making this decision, God King Gwen began to make preparations for "passing fire". He first distributed part of the king soul he held to the existence that he thought would help maintain the gods and the world after him.

These include the White Dragon Heath who betrayed the ancient dragon clan and stood on the side of the gods in the battle of the ancient dragon, the witch of Izaris, the comrade-in-arms who has the same king soul as him, and the tomb king Nit, and the ruler of human beings at that time Xiao The Four Kings of Lund.

After all the preparations, Gwen led his knights into the initial furnace, and he also became the first salary king in history to spread the fire—Gwen, the black salary king.

Just as Gwen expected, when He put himself as firewood into the initial furnace, the initial fire did re-emerge, and all the changes in the world caused by the extinguishing of the initial fire, including the curse of immortality, etc., were all restored. in the original order.

The ring of darkness disappeared from people, the curse disappeared, the gloomy sky and even the out-of-control world returned to their original appearance, and everything seemed to have never happened.

But will all this really last forever as everyone expects?

The answer is no, just like the prophecy that no one knows the origin will always weigh on people's hearts, the fire - will eventually go out.

The river of time flowed peacefully for another thousand years, and the fire rekindled by Ge Wen finally burned to the end.

The curse of immortality has revived, and various mutations have reappeared in this world.

However, at this moment, there is no Ge Wen. This not only means that there is no god in the world who is willing to sacrifice himself like Ge Wen back then, but also because no one's soul can be as strong as King Wuxin at this time. Continue the fire.

The power of the gods originally comes from the initial fire, and when the fire decays, they will inevitably become weak.

It's not that there were other attempts, it's just that these so-called attempts all failed.

Because of the special nature of the power of the king soul, the witch of Izaris tried to recreate the first fire, but instead of succeeding, it caused the power to go out of control. In the chaotic flames imitated by the first fire, a new race - demons - was born.

He, including His daughters, became a hotbed of chaos and twisted monsters because of this unclean fire.

The god's attempt also ended in failure, and the doomsday mood of despair enveloped the world, and the end of fire seemed inevitable.

However, at this time, just like in human fantasy stories, whenever the world encounters a crisis, a hero will stand up, and this time is no exception.

Outside of Rodland, in the undead hospital in the north of the world, an unnamed undead who was supposed to be imprisoned until the end of the world accidentally left here and came to Rodland, the land of the gods.

This unnamed undead hero, after escaping from the hospital of the undead, went all the way through thorns and thorns, collected the king's soul scattered in the world, and beheaded the ruler and even the gods under the sword.

He set foot in the mausoleum of the tomb king, the hotbed of chaos, descended into the abyss where the gods dare not set foot, and went up to Arnoel Londe, the capital of all capitals, and finally obtained the strength enough to become the king of the dead.

Perhaps in order to lift the curse of immortality on human beings, or perhaps to continue the world, in the end, this unnamed hero also made the same choice as God King Gwen back then, and threw himself into the initial furnace, becoming the one who saves the continuation of the world. The second salary king.

No one knows his name, but his deeds have been sung forever. Since this unsung hero, people have gradually regarded becoming the Salary King as the highest honor and the greatest sacrifice.

It was also after this unnamed salary king that people no longer had the illusion of eternal fire. The matter of "spreading fire" was officially regarded as a top priority by people in all the country's city-states. The responsibility of the times, or the thirst for honor, whenever the initial fire declines, they will throw themselves into the initial fire without hesitation and embark on the road of salary king.

However, as I said before, without enough strength, one cannot become a salary. Some of those heroes who have the courage to devote themselves to the initial fire have successfully rekindled the initial fire, while others have been reduced to "ashes" due to lack of strength.

The failure of the fire transmission will undoubtedly increase the consumption of the initial fire, so after several times of fire transmission, people invented something, and at the same time officially scaled up the fire transmission. The initial stove, but must go through strict selection.

That thing is the "Throne of Desire" from the land of Dolan Gureg. The invention of the throne allows the king to sit on the throne connected to the first fire without having to directly contact the first fire. This approach has advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that the hero of Chuanhuo can find a substitute to replace Chuanhuo before being completely burned out, so that there will be no gap period in which the previous salary king has been exhausted, but the candidate still does not appear, causing the initial fire to go out.

The disadvantage is that this method of spreading fire without putting into the initial furnace requires not only the strength of the spreader to spread the fire, but also an extremely firm will.

The pain of becoming firewood and being burned by the first fire is unbearable. It is the pain that really burns the soul. Without a firm will and determination, and a great spirit of sacrifice, it is easy for people to retreat, evade responsibility and refuse to spread the fire.

Different from directly entering the initial furnace, the overwhelming initial fire makes people have no way to escape. If there is no restriction around the throne, many existences who rely on their heads or are forced to spread the fire may change their minds and escape on their own.

So almost at the same time as the invention of the throne, the system of selecting the salary king was born, which also means that the matter of spreading fire has truly entered a large-scale and regularized.

In this way, whenever the salary king of the previous generation is about to burn out, people will elect a new salary king to take over and pass the fire down from generation to generation, forcibly maintaining the so-called age of fire and maintaining this fragile surface prosperity.

But Chuhuo is still in inevitable decline. Even though the action of spreading fire has never stopped, with the dedication of generations of salary kings, the scale of Chuhuo is also shrinking with the naked eye, from the bright and surging past to gradually dimming and declining. .

At the same time, people's hearts have also changed. After tens of thousands of years of fire transmission and the dedication of countless heroes, people gradually no longer regard becoming a salary king as a great cause. More and more people think that the end of the world is inevitable. Instead of lingering like this, it is better to be ready to accept the end of the age of fire and welcome the arrival of the deep sea age.

Similar thoughts spread irresistibly, and fewer and fewer strong people are willing to become the king of salary, and the spread of fire has become extremely difficult to continue. In the end, it even developed to the contemporary reserve king of salary, and Prince Losric of the new royal family directly It is clear that the chariots and horses refused to pass the fire.

Seeing that the first fire was about to go out, the bell of fate rang in desperation. People could only burn the past once, but the salary king who had not completely burned out was awakened from their mausoleum. The scene seen through the opening CG.

The saints—Eldridge, Fran's undead team, and the giant Youmu, these salary kings who had passed the fire were awakened by the bell, but what happened next was once again beyond everyone's expectations.

The three awakened salary kings all rejected the mission to spread the fire again.

Eldridge, who had accumulated enough talent to become the king of power, turned his attention to the old royal protoss Gwyndolin at the instigation of Pope Sullivan at the time; the undead team of Farland returned to Fort Farland to continue their surveillance against the abyss mission; while the giant Youmu returned to the city of crimes that had been burned by the fire of crimes, sitting on the lonely throne in the middle of the bones, not knowing what to wait for.

The Salary Kings refused to spread the fire. On the throne of the sacrificial field, only the exile whose legs had been severed and could not escape from the throne——Ludos, the contemporary Salary King, was struggling to maintain the first fire.

Under the crisis of overturning the times, the bell had to ring for the second time.

This time, it is the heroes who failed to spread the fire and failed to become the king of salary in the past - Ashes Ashen One.

It was at this point when Yun Qi's "predecessor" traveled through the past. He became an ashes awakened from the ashes cemetery under Losric City. Only the ashes of the fire are left. "He" is a traveler with complete memory, an innocent office worker who was forced to save the world by a certain existence since the 21st century.

"The soul is a by-product of burning the first fire but not the fuel"

The teeny lowercase letters used throughout the article to introduce the background of the world come to an abrupt end here, but at the end, such a sentence is written in the blank space in large characters that are forcefully pierced through the back of the paper.
