Chapter 690: The Elves' Sorrow
"The Lord of Evil..."
Qi Ge took a deep breath, but there was no surprise on his face.
From the moment he realized that the Blind Brotherhood was most likely from the Yasha camp, he realized that there must be some special reason for the demise of the Elf Empire.
Qi Ge asked in a deep voice: "God, I have a question.
If I remember correctly, the Elven subcontinent should have been destroyed in the third Chaos invasion.
The Lord of Demons, could it be that he already existed during the third Chaos invasion?"
"Yes." A stream of cold air came out of the blood dragon's mouth.
“Strictly speaking, the third and fourth Chaos invasions started at the same time, but the gods of Yasha were deceived.
The Lord of Evil is the Chaos Lord of the Fourth Chaos Invasion.
He hid during the third Chaos invasion, using the cursed dragon as a cover, and quietly sent demons to invade the elven subcontinent.
The existence of evil spirits is too bizarre and difficult to understand, and even the gods of Yasha were deceived by it.
They continued to infect and replace the elves in the Elven subcontinent, almost replacing the entire Elven Empire."
The blood dragon raised his head and said to the seven pigeons:
“You probably don’t know some of the arrangements in our Yasha world.
With your current strength, you are qualified to know, so I will explain it to you in detail.
The first Chaos invasion ended, the world reopened, the elements were deified, and countless races were born and died in the Yasa world.
The purpose of the great waves is to select the backbone forces that can fight against chaos.
The elves are the lucky ones who stand out among countless races.
They have a strong affinity for magic, a long lifespan to ensure growth time, and extraordinary wisdom to build civilization. They are a perfect race with almost no shortcomings.
The gods gave the elves many preferential treatments, and the elves took up the banner as the gods expected.
During the second Chaos Invasion, the Elves took on most of the pressure on the Yasa World and annihilated all Chaos Nodes that invaded the Elf Subcontinent.
Among them, the silver elves even cultivated the powerful war plant, the mithril tree.
The Mithril Tree gave birth to the Level 1, Rank 9 Mithril Flower Fairy Queen, who is the Goddess of Peace who has not yet been deified.
It would not even be an exaggeration to say that the Goddess of Peace was born from the elves.
During the third Chaos invasion, the elves' organized army had been active throughout the Yasa world, destroying 60% of the Chaos nodes and buying enough time for the deification of the ocean and the sun. It can be said that they made an indelible contribution.
It's a pity that we failed to protect them.
A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.
The activeness of the elves has attracted the attention of Chaos. We have reason to suspect that the Lord of Evil is targeting the elves.
The first group of elves polluted by evil spirits have been active in the elven subcontinent, constantly polluting other elves.
After being transformed into a demon, there will be basically no changes to the elves, and there will be no abnormalities in appearance.
Word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. In just a few months, the evil demons spread throughout the elven subcontinent.
The first one to discover the abnormality was the Goddess of Peace.
The Guardian Statue of the Soul can connect with the spirits of all elves. After the evil spirits replaced the elves, they also gained the connection rights to the Guardian Statue of the Soul.
The guardian statue of the soul is made of the mithril tree where the goddess of peace was born, and can establish a connection with the goddess of peace.
Under the command of the Demon Lord, a large number of demons invaded the mind network of the guardian statue of the mind, trying to break through the barrier of the Kingdom of the Goddess of Peace along the mind network and invade the mind of Peace.
The Lord of Evil was almost successful. Even the Silver Flower Demon in the Kingdom of Peace had been transformed into an evil demon.
Fortunately, at the last moment, the goddess of peace sensed the crisis.
She immediately blew up the guardian statue of the mind, cutting off the evil lord's means of invasion, and then called on the help of fate and magic to cleanse the Kingdom of Peace.
The Goddess of Peace personally killed all the evil silver flower demons except herself, almost exterminating the entire race of silver flower demons.
After this battle, the gods finally realized the changes in the elven subcontinent.
Under the illumination of the magic mirror of the magic goddess, the entire elven subcontinent has become no different from the devil's realm.
Only a very small number of elven souls are special and not polluted.
Fortunately, the evil's harm has not yet penetrated the entire Yasa world, and has only spread to the elven subcontinent.
A portion of wealth immediately descended upon the kingdom of God, forming a golden sea and blocking all passages between the elven subcontinent and the main continent.
Magic and fate quickly began to work out a solution for the Elven subcontinent.
After many calculations, the gods were very sad to find that there was no way to save the elves infected by the evil lord.
The rules controlled by the evil master are irreversible, gentle and cruel. "
The blood dragon shook its body and summoned a huge light curtain in the air, on which were suspended many 3D illusions of elves.
Wood elves, gold elves, silver elves, dark elves, dwarf elves...
These elf phantoms are all naked, some are pairs of a man and a woman, and some are only women, slowly spinning in the air.
Qi Ge's eyes lit up and he quickly memorized these elf patterns.
Among these dozen or so elf phantoms, there were some elves that Qi Ge had never seen before. Qi Ge felt that they were very likely the extinct elves.
What shocked Qi Ge the most was the elf with red pupils in the corner.
"Blood elves...are there really blood elves in the history of the elves?"
Just as Qi Ge was shocked, Xue Long continued:
“The elves are very perfect creatures, almost a combination of order and kindness.
But kindness is both their strength and their weakness.
The elves often live in small tribes, and they care for each other and have almost no internal friction.
This is a habit inherited by the elves from the days of the wise tree flower fairies.
When the gods discovered that evil demons had invaded the elves, it was already too late.
The elves replaced by evil spirits are exactly the same as the original elves in appearance, memory, and thoughts. It is difficult for the kind and united elves to eliminate the infected people.
According to the gods' deduction, if the elves were to resolve the evil incident themselves, the final result would be that the entire Yasha would be contaminated by evil.
The elves will even try to coexist with their partners and family members even though they know that they are evil demons. "
Seven pigeons are somewhat incredible:
"Even if the gods told them the truth, they would still do this? This is too stupid."
"No, this is not stupidity, this is the characteristic of the elves.
Indiscriminate kindness is a characteristic engraved in the souls of the elves, just like the cruelty of demons, the greed of werewolves, and the cruelty of vampires.
Such racial characteristics have positive effects, but naturally they also have negative effects.”
Blood Dragon said:
“The gods have judged that the elves cannot solve the problem themselves, so we the undead can only solve it for us.
In a sense, elves and undead are both defense systems against chaos in the early Yasha world.
The elves' defenses are softer.
The elven troops can cooperate well with most living races. They can help other races fight against chaos without harming other races.
Our Undead race's defense is better than that of the Elves, but our methods are also more radical.
We prefer to destroy Chaos along with other living things.
Well, to be precise, we will turn other creatures into our undead weapons, and then use excessive force to suppress chaos.
The fall of the elves' first barrier was actually very damaging to the Yasa world.
But the situation has come to that point, and all the gods can do is stop the loss in time.
So, I was ordered to cleanse all the demons infected in the Elven subcontinent."
The blood dragon raised his head and said, “At that time, the Yasha world was relatively stable, and the gods could use more of their power.
The magic unfolded a magic mirror in the air, suppressing the power of the evil spirits, making it impossible for the evil spirits who turned into elves to cast magic with the help of the elves' bodies.
Fate sends down its light to protect the elves who have not yet been contaminated by evil.
We, the undead, are responsible for being the executioners who destroy the evil spirits.
At that time, I was just a silly dragon who enjoyed killing and destruction, and I didn’t have any special skills other than killing.
It was just right for me to be able to carry out this task, so I volunteered to lead the team.
I led the Undead Army to fight to support the war, and wiped out more than 90% of the elves in the entire Elf Subcontinent, and almost destroyed the Elf Empire.
The goddess of magic cleansed the memory of the elves, making the remaining elves forget their hatred for the undead.
Of course, the effects of magic are limited.
Those elves who have witnessed their family and friends being slaughtered by the undead will still naturally maintain their hatred for us undead.
It's just that they can't figure out where this disgust comes from.
The power of the Demon Lord is strange. The more people know him, the closer he will be to the Yasa world.
If a unit is too weak and knows too much information about the Demon Lord, it may even be parasitized by the Demon Lord and turned into a demon.
For this reason, we had to conceal the reason for the extermination of the elves, and only told the truth to a few trustworthy and powerful high-ranking elves.
The remaining elves, led by the surviving elven leaders, went their separate ways, leaving behind an empty elven subcontinent.
The catastrophe brought about by the evil lord finally ended.
In order to prevent similar things from happening again, the Goddess of Peace separated herself from the kingdom of God, and the Goddess of Wealth also used a large amount of divine power to assist.
The two gods joined forces to form a rule-based protective shield that denied the invasion of evil demons, covering the entire Yasa world.
From then on, once any living being in the Yasa world is invaded by evil spirits, the fact of the evil spirits’ invasion will be directly denied.
In other words, from that day on, in the Yasa world, the Yasa creatures that were contaminated by evil would directly return to a state without being contaminated by evil because of the power of negation.
The power of negation is greater than the irreversibility of evil.
It's like the number 8 in 123456789 is negated, and every time you count to 7 you jump to 9 because 8 doesn't exist.
The "irreversibility" of evil pollution requires a successful pollution process.
But if the process of successful pollution is denied, the evil pollution cannot proceed.
After the deployment of the Negation Barrier, Peace and Wealth fell into a deep sleep one after another. If it weren't for the support of Poseidon and the Sun, the fourth or even the fifth Chaos invasion might have been seamless.
The inability of a Chaos Lord's followers to enter Yasa resulted in the two true gods falling into a deep sleep, which was a huge loss from the perspective of the war of gods.
All we can say is that the rules of the evil master are too bizarre and hard to guard against, so the gods had no choice but to resort to this last resort."
Having said that, Qi Ge suddenly discovered something was wrong.
"Lord Duogosos, according to what you said, what's going on with Madam Red?
According to the information I got, she and Malodi Guan knew each other two years ago. Wasn't the evil spirit invading at that time?"
"Mary Red. That's a story that I feel very sorry about."
Blood Dragon shook his head and said:
“Mary Red was originally a blood elf, and the original form of the blood elf was the flower demon of [Higanbana].
After the birth of the elves, because of the resonance of their own race, the blood elves also separated from the red spider lilies and became an independent race.
Unfortunately, this race was born at the wrong time. When they were born, they had already missed the transformation of magic and destiny, and there were only females.
This is a race that was destined to extinction from the moment it was born.
Fortunately, Mary Hong was lucky enough to meet me.
At that time, I happened to be experimenting with a magic called vampirization, so I gave it a try with the idea of experimenting.
So, Mary Red and the blood elves turned into vampires and followed me, serving as my experimental assistants and maids.
I have to say that the elves are naturally intelligent. Even if they become vampires, their wisdom is still much higher than that of other stupid undead. I find it very easy to use. Well, it's very useful.
As vampires transformed from blood elves, they retain many special abilities, including summoning low-level undead out of thin air, summoning phantoms, etc.
Mary Red is the most talented of all the blood elves. She has grown up with me and her rank has been raised very quickly.
But she soon got tired of fighting and killing, which was inconsistent with the elf instinct in her heart.
So I allowed her to leave and find a place to live in seclusion, and helped her realize her wish - to find her a husband who was suitable for her. "
The blood-red dragon raised its head high and said loudly:
"Once there was a lich who betrayed me, stole my research and fled to Bracada.
But even for him, I gave him three million gold coins.
I will allow anyone who betrays me to betray me openly, let alone those who follow me.
Mary Red followed the most powerful undead dragon in the world of Yasha, so her husband should naturally be the most powerful man among the elves.
Naturally, the Maraudy Crown caught my eye.
Although my strength was not very strong at that time, I was at least an 8th-level myth, so it was no problem for me to fool a guy who had just become a hero.
Soon, with my arrangement, Malodi Crown and Mary Hong met smoothly.
At first, Mary Red was not happy with my choice because Marauder's Crown was too weak.
But soon, she was moved by Malodi's sincerity and kindness and decided to marry him.
But not long after they returned to the elven subcontinent, the kingdom of the Goddess of Peace was invaded by evil demons.
Under the illumination of the magic goddess's mirror, the gods suddenly discovered that Prince Malody Crown, who had just returned to the Elf Empire, had been replaced by the evil demon.
At first, the gods were very surprised.
There are traces of evil spirits infecting orderly creatures. In theory, the weaker the unit, the easier it is to be infected.
Malody Crown is a hero after all, so he shouldn't be infected so quickly.
After the magic goddess deduced, she quickly discovered the reason.
This is the evil's ability to conduct thoughts.
This ability is complicated to explain.
The evil spirit can use the shared memories of the infected to contaminate another target that is extremely far away without any contact.
The more clearly the evil spirits recognize a unit, the faster it will be infected.
When an orderly creature is recognized by too many evil demons, its resistance to infection will approach zero.
Prince Malody Crown was a household name in the Elven Empire at the time.
You can imagine a scene like this: the sky is full of eyes, all staring at Maraudin Crown on the ground, staring intently, without blinking, seeing every inch of his skin clearly.
As expected, the Malody Crown's resistance to evil became negative and it was contaminated in an instant.
The evil spirits also have another ability, which is the gathering symbiotic effect.
When enough demons gather together, one of them will become a higher level demon.
This gathering symbiotic effect can be stacked continuously until enough demon containers are stacked for the Demon Lord to descend.
As an elf prince, Malody Crown was naturally chosen by the evil lord to be a vessel.
This unfortunate little guy was entrusted with an important task when the elves were in decline, and he became the hope for the revival of the Elf Empire.
But before he could display his talent and wisdom, he died.
The most pitiful thing is that he himself did not realize that he had become a demon.
Mary Hong has followed me for many years and had long since joined the Blind Order with me. With her strength of level 7 at the time, she was naturally qualified to know the truth.
I found Mary Red and told her everything that had happened in the Elven Subcontinent.
After knowing the truth, she was heartbroken and burst into tears, but she was a ghost after all, and although she had emotions, they were suppressed.
She quickly adjusted herself and asked me to let her be the vanguard. She wanted to personally put an end to the evil demon that devoured the Maraudin Crown and avenge the Maraudin Crown."
"It turned out to be like this..." Qi Ge was a little shocked. "So, the fuse that triggered the destruction of the Elf Empire, the incident of Madam Red killing her husband, was just a coincidence?"
"Yes, we just happened to meet." Xuelong said with a wry smile: "Doesn't it feel like a coincidence?
Not only do you feel this way, the elves do too.
It is precisely because of Mary Red that some stubborn elf high-ranking officials still believe that the so-called evil spirits are just a cover for me to annex the Elf Empire.
Jenny is one of them.
Especially after she lied to Sandro, she became more and more suspicious of the truth I told her.
No matter how I explained it to him, I couldn't explain it clearly, so I didn't bother to explain it."
Qi Ge sorted it out in his mind.
The third chaos outbreak, the attack of the cursed dragon, the invasion of evil demons, the shattering of the guardian statue of the mind, the incident of the Red Lady, the elimination of the undead scourge and the elimination of the elves replaced by evil demons... this was the entire process of the collapse of such a huge elven empire.
When a whale dies, all things come to life.
The Elf Empire was destroyed, and the remaining elves joined Avili and became a new barrier force together with the Golden Dragon.
The Dragon Lich Lord inherited various technologies from the Elf Empire and transformed them, laying the foundation for the current research atmosphere in Diya.
This is how the world is, every sip and bite has its destiny.
“The living mourn the dead, and honor the dead.
Mourn the dead, and remember the living.
In fact, the answer was given to me at the beginning.
The elves that were replaced by the evil demons, although still alive, have become complete minions of Chaos. Although they are still alive, they are living dead who are more undead than the undead.
If one evil lord is so troublesome, how much more annoying must the other three chaos lords be.
There is still a long way to go.”
Qi Ge was just thinking when a giant blood-red dragon suddenly pulled in its dragon head and blew a ball of cold air at Qi Ge.
The bone-deep chill made Qi Ge shiver all over.
"snort."
The blood-red dragon lay prone facing Qi Ge and said to Qi Ge:
"I came to see you this time, not only to tell you the truth about the fall of the Elf Empire, but also to ask for your help on something."
The mission is here!
Qi Ge immediately became alert.
"God, please speak as you please."
"It's not a big deal. I just want you to help rebuild the guardian statue of the soul."
Seven Pigeons: ...
"I'm sorry, I didn't hear you clearly, could you please say it again?"
"Architect who inherited Credel's legacy, please quickly think of a way to rebuild the statue of the guardian of the soul.
The guardian statue of the soul can communicate with the sleeping goddess of peace. If it can be built, it will be very helpful in helping the goddess wake up.
The current situation in the Yasha world is not optimistic. If the goddess doesn’t wake up now, it will be even more difficult for her to wake up in the future.”
[System prompt: Congratulations to the player for completing the second round of the mission [Elegy Sung by the Dead].]
[Trigger the third ring of the mission: Lost Wonders]
The Lost Wonder
Task requirements:
Rebuild the statue of the guardian of the soul. 】
Seven Pigeons: ...
It's true that the fewer words there are, the bigger the matter. I have thought about cultivating a guardian statue before, but that was just a thought.
Thinking about it and actually doing it are two different things.
Qi Ge rubbed his forehead and asked:
“I would like to rebuild it, but the Guardian Statue of the Soul was nurtured by the Mithril Tree left by the Goddess, so it can establish a connection with the Goddess.
I don’t have the Mithril Tree where the goddess’s true body resides.”
"No, you have..." Xuelong looked at Qige and said in a deep voice, "Think about it again."
"I have..." Qi Ge was stunned, and a possibility suddenly flashed through his mind.
"Could it be that Galaxy... What would happen to Galaxy if the mithril tree where Galaxy lives was cultivated into a spiritual guardian statue?"
Faced with Qi Ge's question, Xue Long did not give a direct answer.
He shook his head and said, "I'm not sure about this, why don't you go back and ask her yourself.
Okay, you are fine, I am going to close the Demigod Realm now, it is tiring to keep it open all the time."
"Wait, wait, I have something else to do." Qi Ge asked hurriedly, "God, I want to find Madam Hong. Do you know where Mary Hong is?"
"Mary Red."
Blood Dragon sighed with a complicated expression:
“When Mary Red proposed to deal with the Maraudine Crown herself, she actually had selfish motives. She wanted to use her mirror to preserve the true spirit of the Maraudine Crown.
She succeeded, but it was worse than failure.
In order to revive the Marodi Crown, she did a lot of wrong things and was punished by me and imprisoned in the prison of the capital of Diya.
There wasn't a single reflective lens there to prevent her from escaping.
If you want to see her, I can arrange it for you.
But you must remember one thing: don’t agree to any of Mary Hong’s requests.”
