Chapter 19 Civilization Tribulation(1/2)
Joshua believes that compared to clearing out demons who have begun to self-destruct on a large scale, it is more important to go to the Abyss Nirvana Land to take a look, and search for whether there are traces of evil gods in the middle of the journey.
As for the twelve abysses that Joshua searched before, it is not actually a search at all. It can only be said that it is a completely different concept of walking around the world of Mycrov, going deep into the abyss and patrolling the surface.
In this case, if you want to choose to explore the abyss, it is naturally necessary to find a guide.
If it were Joshua a few years ago, he would choose to use the Book of Ebonn to summon a demon, and then persuade him with kind words, so that the other party would be willing to assist him in exploring the abyss. Although the Book of Ebonn can hardly summon any demons, as long as he searches carefully and searches carefully, he can still catch...summon several fish that missed the net.
But now, it's not so troublesome-
Joshua looked at the time, then locked the place where the incarnation came to his territory, Moldavia, the warriors gathered their strength and directly shaped their bodies in the southern city.
Soon, wearing ordinary wilderness wanderer costumes and a black cowboy hat, Joshua slowly walked in the residential area of the South City, slowly approaching the gathering place of the single-family residential building located on the edge of the city.
Nancheng District is a place where magic factories and factory workers live, and a large number of civil servants in the lord's palace live. Unlike the eastern plains, the magic factories are directly under the nose of Joshua, and no one dares to cut corners in purifying the magic array. In addition, the ancient times that Joshua himself spontaneously purified by the steel power that spontaneously overflows, Moldavia's pollution is almost gone.
From time to time, many babies or children cry and play in the houses on both sides of the streets in Nancheng District can be heard from time to time. These are descendants of many residents who settled in Moldavia several years ago and got married and had children locally.
Hearing the voices of these children and babies, Joshua couldn't help but nod. These children are the future of civilization, and it also means that the first baby boom in Moldavia is about to be born... Soon, not only his territory, but the entire Mycrov world will usher in an extremely rapid population growth after the dragon disaster.
The explosive population growth... This may also be a potential contradiction? Because of the signs of the evil god, the warrior couldn't help but feel a little sensitive, but this idea was quickly left behind by him.
——When these children grow up and become the driving force and burden of the world, it will be at least ten years later. In ten years, he will not be able to kill an evil god, and then suffering from disasters is really not unfair.
Thinking of this, Joshua soon arrived in front of a single-family building.
Before he could reach the door, Joshua could hear clear laughter from the house, and could smell the sweet smell of frosting mixed with the aroma of the cake, which made him blink.
Then he began knocking on the door.
Soon, the laughter in the house was interrupted, and a girl could hear a hurried voice of "Here's here, who's it?", and someone could also hear a confused voice talking to herself, thinking about who it was. But in short, the door quickly opened, and the dragon girl Lisa appeared at the door with a cheerful and energetic face.
Then she saw Joshua.
The girl's expression frozen in an instant.
"Huh...Huh, old, teacher?"
Joshua carefully looked at Lisa's clothes at this time. It was quite normal, but the most important thing was the graffiti on her face - black water strokes were drawn on it, with characters and small animals images, making the originally beautiful and cute dragon girl look... very funny at this time.
It seems that these little guys have a lot of fun in their daily life, have fun and have a lot of activities.
"Hello, Lisa, come without notice, it's a bit abrupt." Joshua patted the other party's shoulder and felt the other party's strength. The warrior said appreciatively: "It's very good. It's made great progress recently, and you're working hard."
"This, thank you for your praise..." For this praise, Lisa first raised her eyebrows excitedly, and couldn't help but show a smug expression on her face, but then she quickly moved away from her figure, and then asked with a cautious look: "Teacher, what's wrong with you here this time..."
Usually, Joshua tested her strength and other classmates, so she asked them to go to the Lord's Mansion or the venue of Winter Castle Academy. Few people went out to visit them in person. This time Joshua's arrival caught Lisa off guard.
Could it be that today the teacher plans to conduct a sudden task to test her ability to adapt to various emergencies? It is indeed the teacher's style and it is very reasonable. Fortunately, my daily exercise has not been reduced, and my combat effectiveness is always at its peak.
‘But it seems that Mr. Syndicate’s plan to get drunk today is about to be cancelled.’ The Dragon Man Girl thought to herself with some annoyance: ‘It was finally done…’
However, just as the girl was ready to take over the mission of the master and was ready to fight with the Golden Peak monster or puppet where God knew where, for 300 rounds, she heard Joshua say this.
"Borrow your syndicate," the warrior said, then raised his hand and waved it - he looked confused, looking a little drunk, and his face was also covered with graffiti and appeared in his hand with the back of his neck. Joshua nodded slightly to Lisa: "I will pay you back soon, don't worry."
Then, Joshua disappeared with Syndicate.
Hey.
Lisa looked unresponsive.
But soon, she grasped the point.
Mr. Syndicate...My family?
Suddenly, the dragon girl stood at her door and even forgot to close the door. She smiled silly with a red look on her face.
At the same time, Joshua was in the basement of the lord, and the gentle face of the wine was awakened by most of the time, asking about the information about the depths of the abyss.
Since Syndicate changed the essence of life and became a dragon-like life, it became him and had the perception of most ordinary flesh and blood life - as long as the body of the former flame demon was not damaged too much, he could always maintain the "dragon-man mimicry" state and even have fertility.
Of course, it is reasonable to get drunk.
Joshua naturally wouldn't care about Lisa and Syndiga's tricks during the day, but he would naturally ask his own questions as soon as possible and let the other party go back.
However, during the period of time as the Flame Demon, Syndicate did not go to many worlds or experience many things. At that time, he just ate and drank, beat the little demon, and fought with other lords with his younger brother... Individually, Syndicate actually had no information at all, and even his wisdom was interfered with by powerful radiation energy at that time and could not think smoothly.
But what Joshua wanted was not the information in Syndicate's memory - what he wanted was the information in the inheritance of the Flame Demon bloodline.
When I met the syndicate, Joshua first entered the legend. It was very difficult to analyze valuable information from the basic bloodline information of a life, which can be understood by humans. However, now, Joshua can not only analyze it, but also write a "blood inheritance" that can be inherited for other lives by himself, and even put the trademark of the Taradcliffe family on this inheritance to determine the warranty date and product number.
In other words, Joshua was able to create a large number of originally extremely noble and powerful "bloodlines" families by mass-producing bloodlines. It was thankless to do such things, but it would affect the potential of the race. Joshua did not intend to do that.
Soon, with Syndicate's at a loss-like expression, his mouth opened itself and began to automatically repeat the inheritance and information that emerged from his bloodline.
Without spending much time, Joshua learned a lot of valuable information about the demons and the abyss.
——Most of the demons who are race live in the first hundred floors of the abyss.
Eighty percent of known demon clans live in the first 100 levels of the abyss, including more than 60 most common demon clans. They all gather in this area, conquer each other, occupy resources, or join forces to the world of life to seize souls.
The remaining twenty percent were basically distributed scattered in abyss worlds of about 100, 300 layers... And under two or three hundred layers, there were basically no wise demons who would go there. Most of them were wise demon beasts.
Why? The answer is simple.
Because the ones located at the top of the abyss are newly destroyed and falling into the abyss world, and the further down, the earlier the world will be destroyed, or the greater the impact it will be upon destruction. In any case, it means that there is basically no vitality in such a world, even demons cannot bear it.
These worlds are not as good as those in the dead world - at least there is still material existence in the dead world, and even matter in this wreckage world begins to decompose. The entire world is a calm and unmoving sea of thermal ions, as if it is hot and silent, but it is meaningless.
There are even many ancient demon clans' hometowns, located in those worlds below three hundred levels of the abyss. The flame demon is said to be this kind of fire demon. Their mother world, even the wreckage, no longer exists, so the powerful flame demon clans will be scattered and spread throughout the abyss.
The world of Coronos is located in more than 500 layers of the abyss. If it weren't for the existence of Gu Long, it would have cut off all vitality, even decomposed itself, and turned into pure steel particles into the cycle of reincarnation in the multiverse. However, even with the help of Gu Long and Joshua, the world of Coronos is still very early to return to normal.
Around the world of Colonos, most of the worlds have long turned into a chaotic void, leaving only the strongest world barrier slowly disintegrating, leaving the corpses of these worlds in a dim shape like stars.
According to Yue Ai, the land of Nirvana in the abyss is located in the dark realm of more than 900 layers of the abyss.
The meaning represented by more than 900 layers is not as simple as a simple number... Because there is a continuous stream of abyss worlds that decompose and collapse, and completely remove themselves from the abyss. Even if other recently destructive worlds are added to the abyss all the time, the speed of increase and decrease between the two is very close.
Perhaps decades later, the land of Nirvana in the Abyss is now more than a thousand layers, or seven or eight hundred layers, but the meaning it represents will not change, that is, it is the lowest layer of the abyss, where countless wreckages are piled up.
"Legendary: The River Styx flows out from the bottom of the abyss, the unknown 'source', and then spreads across many abyss worlds."
In the basement of the Lord's Mansion, Syndicate was still instinctively rereading the knowledge in his bloodline, but it was obvious that at this point, even the ancient flame demons and even the inheritance of the Fire Demon Kings of all ages had uncertainties. He said in a tone of hesitation and guessing: "The existence of the Styx is so mysterious. 'I've tried to follow the tide of the Styx to explore its roots, but even if I traveled through hundreds of worlds, I could not trace it upstream... My power, even among the Kings, could even surpass several abysses, but there was still an unpredictable distance from the source of the Styx."
"I keep this memory in my bloodline. My tribe's bloodline will be respectful to the Styx, stay away from all existence and things that come from the Styx. The darkness hidden in it is far from the mystery that we can explore."
...
After praising Syndicate for his recent efforts and finally returning to the extreme state of mind with the "extreme sense of skills", Joshua urged the other party a few words, be careful not to be surpassed by Lisa, so he simply let him go back.
It was his fault for disturbing the daily entertainment of the younger generation, so Joshua naturally would not disturb him too much.
However, there is some information in the Syndicate's Fire Demon Bloodline inheritance.
The "Styx" is an existence that is too common and can easily be ignored. At this time, it is related to the "bottom level of the abyss" for the first time.
Moreover, according to Syndicate, although the demons are indeed wary of each other, they will not fight most of the time, because they all know that the other party as the demons has no oil at all, so they only need to expand their power, such as Goliath, the gluttonous demon king of the Sixth Abyss, will attack and recruit other demon clans.
But every considerable period of time - at least, not a long time in the demon inheritance, a huge bloody battle in the abyss broke out among many demon clans.
Originally, whether it was the Fire Demon King who recorded the inheritance or the Syndicate himself, they thought that this kind of thing was no big deal. It was not a strange thing to fight for each other for territory. The outbreak of war was just a normal consequence of the full outbreak of the demon's violent nature. Once the demons began to fight each other, they would have to continue until the demise of one side, and the collapse of several or even dozens of abyss worlds.
But the cause and ending of the war... because it was too chaotic, no one knew all of this.
"Are you destined to have this disaster? Or did I ignore the feelings of the lower classes after traveling through time and changed everything too quickly, which caused all this?"
Joshua couldn't help but whisper.
Since he traveled to the world of Mycrov, he had only the only thing he wanted to do was to fight.
From beginning to end, he did everything to save one world after another. Whether it was fighting or destruction, his purpose was extremely noble and great, so naturally no one could blame him.
However, since he was a noble person at the beginning of his time travel, and because he continued to travel through other worlds and helped one racial civilization after another, he did not have time to understand the ideas of ordinary people, nor did he have time to live the life that ordinary people should have.
He is more like a god than a human being, just the seven gods watching the cycle of reincarnation, and he entered the world to destroy chaos. As for whether the impact it brought was good or bad, he never thought. Now it seems that the result is naturally more beneficial than disadvantages, but Joshua is not sure whether his actions will induce some disasters that have been lurking in advance.
But everything is relative.
Not to mention Lisa and Syndicate, even Ivan and Prest, their daily lives are colorful. Even legendary powerful men like Isrel, Nostradamus and Iger also have personal private lives, and even the Elf Queen has unreliable scandals with the Nature Tutor.
However, because of this, they interact with the world itself, and they are in this era, so they are trapped in this era.
And in the pure Joshua's eyes, everything is clear.
The Mycrov world is now in a fierce moment when it is moving from the late feudal era toward industrial reforms, or even modern reforms.
The reform policy of transitioning from agriculture as the main body to industrial supremacy will bring great turmoil.
Thinking back to the time, England, the first industrialized country, died of this turmoil. How many people died because of this turmoil? The sky of London was covered with coal ash, and the air was polluted into gray fog. Countless civilians at the bottom became the fuel for industrialization in such an environment, with an average lifespan of no more than 33 years... How similar is this situation to the current magical industrialization of Mycrov? This inevitable sacrifice is also coming to this continent.
And it is precisely because of this that the repression, rebellion, despair and outbreaks produced by the progress of civilization, industrialization, and the sacrifices brought about by the changes of the times will also intensify. On the earth, they have led to the birth of several revolutions around the world, and the result of these revolutions and disputes has given birth to the prototype of a modern society.
But is this kind of "success" really inevitable?
Of course not.
This is the heavenly tribulation of civilization - if it is passed, it will be reborn in Nirvana, and if it fails, it will be self-destruction.
The Mycrov civilization in the Star Descent Era may be ushering in its "Heavenly Tribulation" in advance because of the existence of an unknown evil god.
At this time, Qiao Xiuya, after knowing the current situation of the abyss and the direction of the Nirvana land, had basically collected all the information to the bottom of the abyss. If he wanted to find the traces of unknown evil gods and explore the mystery that the Star Shepherd civilization could defeat the evil gods, he could set off immediately.
The only thing that makes Joshua hesitate now is whether to interfere with the self-development of the Mycrov world.
To be continued...
