Chapter 156: The Sorrow of Deep Suffering (24): The Steps of the Truth

Suddenly, the crimson laser seemed to touch the invisible prism in mid-air, changing to a rich and complex color, like a gorgeous firework blooming when the Creator built this world.
After only one second of his stunned silence, Zorriego's sharp claws grabbed Dak.
Thorn!
Even though he is the initial level of [Crashmaker], his body's agility and reaction ability are several times stronger than that of normal humans, or even lost people, but this mixed with the dragon's memory and power attack, coupled with the brief confusing light just now, Dak cannot dodge, and his sharp claws cut his neck and left cheek, and was washed away by the airflow, and fell heavily to the ground.
When Wolfya pulled the trigger and attacked Zorriego's two fragile parts, the heart and eyeball, Luo Ne condensed the "light of the instrumental spirit" to bombard his palm, barely forcing him to retreat, Dak slowly got up from the ground.
Fortunately, the enhanced agility still saved his life. Zhuoli Igo's claw attack was a little lighter and did not cut through Dak's neck artery.
However, the hot pain still made him feel a little confused for a moment and he was unstable.
Coupled with the continuous erosion of the extremely rich "sorrow" around him, he felt that there were many lingering negative emotions such as pain, sadness, darkness, unwillingness and anger in his brain.
A few seconds later, he walked behind Wolfya and Luo Nai with difficulty. At the brief pass of panting and trying to recover his strength, he saw a thick asphalt-like object that replaced the bright red blood and oozed out of his wound.
But what is strange enough is that the "asphalt blood" did not drip down or flowed down his skin normally, but instead appeared in an irregular state, extending upward like a tree branch, and developing, and in an extremely short period of time it turned into countless squirming and dark, like some kind of "alien monster" or an unknown ancient creature, crazy finger.
Fortunately, when Dak surged the magic source power of the water source in his body, he subconsciously reached out to try to pull off these strange things that did not belong to his body, the skin on the surface of the fingers fell off and peeled off, turning into countless dry, coal-like blocks floating to the top of the hall, annihilated traces in the dark blue flames.
"Are these the powers of ancient gods?" Dark murmured to himself in confusion, touching his neck again.
Strangely, the wound just now no longer exists. All that exists is a normal wound that feels slightly painful under pressing and has already scabbed. Moreover, the oozing blood only shows normal bright redness after rubbing, and there is nothing unusual.
It seems that the seemingly unquestionable, dark and despicable derivatives just now have never really existed, but are just visual errors caused by the influence of "sorrow" and the magic source power.
Seeing this, Zorri Igo let out a manic and sneering laugh, and then said:
"This is the influence of pollutants oozing out of 'lowest bottom'. This world is not just the continent and starry sky that we see with our naked eyes, but also a underworld that hides under the earth and punishes sinners. It is said that the underworld is something that the Creator suddenly had after seeing the ancient gods he created. Of course, in some cognitions, especially in the religion of Khitanris, it is the last place of judgment for mankind."
"Does the underworld really exist?" Dake asked, taking a step forward halfway.
"In the original structure of Cruzde's mysticism, there are five categories: human world - dragon realm - universe - ancient god realm - underworld. When..." Zhuoli Igo, who answered the question, suddenly twisted his face and quickly returned to normal.
He paused and continued:
"Before humans destroy nature, the magic source power is sufficient, and humans can enter and exit freely with their bodies, and naturally they can use the "power of the mortal tomb" at will. Yes, the abnormality in your wound just now is the result of the "power of the mortal tomb", but it seems that you have been in contact with the gods, and some force that I cannot say offsets its negative effect.
"Do you know? My 'The Power of the Underworld' was not obtained directly from the Underworld, but was forcibly poured into it. If I did not give up control of my body and granted memory and cognition to the Dragon Clan, I would be crazy by the 'The Power of the Underworld' that seeped out of the 'The Lower'. Back then, Ivan Twenty-two not only gave me such a majestic body, but also forced me to inject the sadness and pain from the underworld that was annoying, fear, and torment.
"I was given a mission, but fortunately I completed it just now and I found the 'pure man' who broke into it, and my life will eventually die." Zhuoli Igo smiled bitterly, looked up at the top of the hall with his head raised, and said:
"Emperor Cruzd, who believed in the righteous bishop, often said that the human world is a purgatory of people with original sin, but in fact, the 'deep relic of suffering' is truly an unforgettable hell. The speculations of Cruzd's ancestors and emperors of all generations are correct. The 'lowest bottom' is indeed the connection point between the junction between the underworld and hell and the human world."
"Connection point?" Dark wondered, looking at Zhuoli Igo with a little confused.
"That's right." Zhuoli Igo nodded:
"Once upon a time, Ivan Twenty-II had excavated underground, trying to dig through the planet we live in and build a 'cosmic elevator' that can leap to the moon."
"'Cosmic Elevator'? These strange scientific words... are indeed unheard of, and only the very futuristic vocabulary that Ivan Twenty-II could create enough prosperous and open age." Wolfya couldn't help but exclaim, turning the "Northern Bear" pistol downwards, and posing a classic brief truce in Cruised culture.
"Scientists of the Empire's 'Cosmics' have produced a model that is enough to subvert magical cognition. They believe that by finding a high enough location in the Extreme Cold Zone and digging down through the mantle and core, you can reach the legendary distant 'Southern Ice Realm'." Zhuoligo continued to explain:
"Whether it is the classics of the Patriarchs of Putoya, our bishop books, or the rich historical documents of the Khitan Rees mixed with myths and legends, they all record that south of the distant Sea of ​​Sesia (to the far sea), where lightning, dark clouds and winds are densely covered with huge waves, is a "ideal country" world where only pure creatures and endless ice and snow exist.
"If Putoya had discovered that the aristocratic navigators of the Storm's Horn were correct in the 'Second Secret Sextant', the caves that His Majesty Ivan Twenty-two, which were built in the 'Deep Relics of Suffering' would have opened the exit in that white continent.
"If we can use the holy power of the pure gods there, plus the light-based magic power accumulated since the time of the change of time since the 'Time Yuan', the Cruzd Empire can truly complete the 'Continental voyage', break through the oppressive and uneasy black and dirty waves of the ancient gods' realm, and incorporate the ancient realm into the ruling of the empire."
"However, I have learned about some manuscripts left by Cruzder scientists. They mentioned that every 1,000 meters downwards, the temperature will rise by 6 degrees. In this way, when the equipment reaches the core of the planet, its temperature will be comparable to the sun. Even if the god of the highest flame is invited to help, the human body cannot reach there alone." Luo Nai raised a question:
"This plan, even in this era, is not feasible. Human history is not long in the past, but it will be long enough in the future. Are many of Ivan Twenty-second's behaviors too impatient? That led to the catastrophic consequences now?"
"Maybe." Zorriego said without comment:
"The excavation project was actually only a few weeks before it connected an ecstatic world. It may belong to our world, or to one of the countless complicated worlds created by the Creator, but in fact, it was not only because of the trembling pain that Ivan Twenty-second stopped the project."
"Can you... have you... been in?" Dark guessed a terrible idea and subconsciously rubbed the wound that had gradually healed but was covered in gray-black gray.
"Indeed." Zorriego admitted:
"My magic power is similar to that of flames. I have been blessed by the "Lord of Eternal Red" and the "Dragon Clan" in my dreams. The gods declared to me that no flames in the human world can burn my skin, and my body will be as strong as the tightest metal in front of the flames.
"But in fact, that field was not the Dragon Realm, but was shrouded in the purple-red sky. When I stepped into it, the air was filled with a strong smell of burning smell, just like the burning waves that appeared when the largest steel mill in the empire was working at full capacity.
"At the feet I stand, is the rocky land piled up after the human body has weathered, but not far away is the nearly endless sea of ​​blood-red floating countless empty ships. At its end, it cannot peek at the metal wall at its top, as if it is to imprison those who struggle, wriggle, howling, and mournful, distorted voices of humans from their mouths, short, ugly, almost creature-like creatures. They are forever imprisoned there."
"So, is there the so-called hell that the regular bishop preached? It is the birthplace of the continuous 'sorrow' in the 'remnant ruins'?" Dak asked, staring at Zhuoli Igo's blood-colored gem-like eyes.
"Of course." Zorriego admitted:
"The day after returning to the human realm from the other plane, my body began to degenerate in a direction that was not human. If His Majesty Ivan Twenty-second had not released the "soul of the dragon clan" through the "first use" of the "Tear of Bizuni" which was also influenced by the "power of the underworld", I would have probably been punished by the Lord. Because I tried to spy on the unseen realm.
"However, this incident may have deepened His Majesty's inner uneasiness about the future development of the empire, forcing him to take the most extreme behavior, creating this era of disaster.
"Thankfully, 'The pure boy has arrived here, and the age of Silent Flame has ended. The bell of reincarnation has begun to ring, and the fate of reincarnation has arrived'. My mission has been completed. Although you are the 'impurity', there is no need for punishment."
Just as the three of them were experiencing Zhuoli Igo's words carefully and trying to piece together some terrible but foreseeable truth, Zhuoli Igo Vladimir Rurik's dragon body collapsed in an instant, turning into a pile of shattered pieces that could not be raised and seemed to never be able to recover their vitality.
Chapter completed!
