Chapter 30: The Disaster of Destruction
Of course, the stone statue will not disappear out of thin air, even a holy statue symbolizing the gods will not work. However, if the stone statue comes alive, it will be impossible.
"Hey, the Heart of Water." Thinking about the purpose of our trip, and then thinking about the city that suddenly rose from the ground. Looking at the chairs that should belong to the God of Water in the hall, Shuer said with a strange expression, "Maybe we have all guessed it wrong. This is not a temple at all."
"Mausoleum?" Saf whispered, "I felt like a mausoleum along the way, but I never dared to say it."
"Well, the tomb of the gods is built specifically for the gods to keep the eternal sleeping body." Shur nodded, "Otherwise, not many people would carve so many murals on the walls of the temple. Only by building a tomb would do this. I initially thought that it was just a unique habit of local creatures. Now it seems, heh, I was indeed wrong."
"In this way, the largest one is the residence of the gods. The middle ones should be the priests in the church who specialize in guarding the holy sect. They have passed down from generation to generation and lived here all their lives. After the priests die, they turn into guards of the dead, live in the irregular small square towers outside, and continue to perform their duties. They will regularly ride sandstorms to collect worship from believers in the surrounding areas, not for the gods to enjoy, but to maintain the normal operation of the city."
"No, no, it's too arbitrary. These are not certain yet. The only thing that can be confirmed is that these stone statues are definitely not ordinary god statues, and are most likely the essence of divine creatures." He lowered his head and said to himself for a while. Shur finally raised his head suddenly, "Because when I ordered the preparation for the war, I felt a flash of fluctuations of divine power."
Whether it is a statue of gods or the body of the gods, it is not surprising that there is a fluctuation of divine power. Just like in the Temple of Dark Moon, the breath of divine power can be felt everywhere, because it is the holy realm of the gods. However, since entering the door, no one has noticed that there is a divine power, which is one of the reasons why it is difficult for everyone to accept that the stone statue is the body of the gods.
"You ask me if I feel it, it means the fluctuation of divine power?" Kelly said blankly, "I really sensed nothing."
"I know, you..."
Suer suddenly fell silent, and a sigh that did not belong to anyone present sounded in his ears. The sound was very light, faint, but to Suer, it was as shocking as thunder.
"You..." Seeing that the shadow-seekers looked as usual, and no one showed any abnormality, Xiu said with a wry smile, "Didn't you hear anyone sigh?"
As soon as they said that, everyone understood something was wrong. No one except Shuer heard a sigh.
"Shuer, let's get away, this place is too weird." Mia, who has had a long experience in leading the team, had a serious face. No matter who she faced, whether it was fluctuations in divine power or sigh, only Shur could hear it. The other party was obviously targeting Shur. When he was disturbed, Mia naturally knew what to do. "Whether it is a sandstorm or a dead soul, as long as we are not afraid of paying the price, we can solve it. There is no need to continue to play games with them here to hide and dodge."
"Don't be anxious first, wait." She did a pretty job, and Shuer gave praise with his eyes. Retreat to advance is often the best way to break the deadlock.
As soon as he finished speaking, Shuer felt a violent shock in his hand, and suddenly a flash of tears in front of him. When he saw things clearly, he was already in a high altitude and looked down at the spherical world covered with yellow sand under his feet.
"Did anyone see the illusion?" Without panic, Shuer kept his body motionless. He had an experience and was already very used to it.
However, there was no reply, and there was only the roaring wind in my ears.
"My hearing is limited now, and the sound in my ears is too loud." Although I was so loud that I couldn't even hear my own voice, Shuer tried his best to maintain the normal volume, "Answer in other ways."
Immediately, the right arm was hit with different frequencies a few times, which was all normal code words. At the same time, the left hand was gently held, and the palms were soft but the palms were covered with calluses. Only Safu, who had been holding a sword for many years, would have such hands.
"I am now in the illusion, and everyone is on the spot. If they are threatened by majeure, they will immediately evacuate. Moria will take me away." The scenery in front of me is constantly changing, but Shuer's order is still orderly. "If I can't recover for a long time, everyone will rush to the escape point as quickly as possible. Mia will automatically take over the command and allow the use of secret weapons. The order will take effect from then on."
After speaking quickly, he finished all the orders, and the code of receiving the order came from his palm. Xiuer felt a little relieved. The other party seemed to have no intention of interfering with his external perception, just wanted to show him something. It seemed that the confused situation was finally over.
The wind is howling, the yellow sand is everywhere, and under your feet is a huge world covered by desert.
Although it is all deserts, the world is still full of life. A large number of strange fish are floating in the sea of sand. On the sand, insects and large lizards are thriving next to the oasis. Various plants with tenacious vitality grow around the water source and maintain the vitality of all animals.
It seems that this is a very normal desolate world. The only unusual thing is that there are four giants composed of rocks in the desert. These giants often sleep tens of thousands of days and nights of alternating black and yellow sand. After waking up, they wander aimlessly on the earth.
As the scene changed, the large lizards had broken free from their ties and stood up, gathered to live together to fight the threats from the desert and fish, and the four rock giants also possessed the sanity and were receiving the kneeling of the lizards. They had obvious characteristics, hot, flowing, heavy, and soft, just like the clergy they represented, the blue giant characteristics appeared at the latest, but they still appeared.
The scene changed again, countless conical buildings were built on the desert, and the lizards' settlements became larger and larger. Although the four giants grasped the authority of the law in one hand, they still survived in the ordinary world in their own body, slept and woke up, and had lived with the lizards for countless years and got along very well.
The crying sound suddenly came from the wind, and several lizard men burst into tears around a dead person. The four giants looked from afar, as if very curious. The lizard men lifted the dead and walked out of the city, put the corpse in the desert, and a large number of small sand fish quickly surrounded them and enjoyed things around the corpse. Soon, the flesh and blood of the corpse were swallowed up, and the lizards took back the bones and began to cry loudly. The black giant seemed to be infected by sadness. He walked over and gently touched the bones. The bones immediately stood up again and joined the ranks of the lizard men. The lizards burst into violent cheers and welcomed the return dead with joy.
Day and night are constantly alternating. Although not every dead person can turn into a dead soul, there are more and more corpses that will not die again. They have unique advantages and gradually become the dominant city and control the power of cities and sacrifices. All control of cities is controlled by the dead, and the living becomes vassals of the dead, and they are busy all their lives in order to become resurrected dead.
The world walking with God is always so peaceful, and the stories of the living and the dead continue until a chance day, disaster quietly comes.
A huge gap suddenly broke in the sky, and countless black shadows surged out from the cracks and rushed towards the earth frantically. Wherever the black shadow passed, the living fell to the ground and lost his life, while the dead were unable to escape by chance. They completely lost their minds and became walking corpses, wandering in familiar places all day long, aimless and tireless.
The four giants were awakened by the mortal howling while sleeping, and finally discovered the gap in the sky. As gods, they certainly could not sit still and watch, and each did their best to start a protracted battle with the energy seeping out of the cracks and the cracks.
I don’t know how many years have passed, the war has finally won, the cracks in the sky have been completely closed, but the world is already desolate, and there are no living people, and the dead are completely wiped out, and they all become unconscious souls. The world on the sand sea can only start from scratch.
Unfortunately, the four giants had no intention of worrying about these things anymore. They walked again to build a huge square tower to protect their sleep. This time, they never woke up again.
However, the lizards do not know that this is just the beginning, and a more terrible disaster is still behind, which is a disaster that is enough to destroy them.
The disaster of destruction has come.
The first thing that changes is the sun.
The sun, which once brought light and vitality to the earth, suddenly became extremely violent. The poisonous sunlight burned the earth, causing the whole world to rise dozens of degrees, the plants withered and died, and the lizards hid in the square tower during the day and survived. Only at night can they come out of the square tower and work hard to survive.
But soon, it wasn't possible at night, because the second change was the wind.
Terrifying sandstorms are shave from time to time at night. The sandstorms carry incomprehensible destructive power and can easily tear the flesh and blood body, leaving only the thick white bones.
If lizards can barely survive these disasters, the third change will be devastating.
There is no more water.
The oasis on which lizardmen depend for survival dried up one after another, and the groundwater veins buried under the sand sea were all cut off. The environment became dryer day by day. Not only did there be no rain in the desert, but there was even no cloud. The whole world became withered and shriveled, and its vitality was completely cut off.
In the end, even the earth is not spared. The earth at night will never stop exuding the power of death, allowing every dead body to stand up again.
Since then, there have been only strong winds in the desert whistling all day long, and those undead who have long lost their minds but can still draw energy from the earth, following the strong winds all day long.
