Nightmare wake up

Chapter 1239 The source of the moon demon’s power!

At that time, as immigrants who had just arrived in their new homeland, adaptation and unity were the main themes of survival and continuation. Therefore, at that stage, immigrants did not show too much negative humanity, but everyone worked together to survive together, which made The moon demon does not have enough nutrients to be reborn.

Later, the immigrants finally established a firm foothold on this continent, and the class nature of Ironborn society began to appear. Then oppression and exploitation appeared. The elves were created and exploited.

Being enslaved by creatures that were less perfect than themselves, the elves must have resentment in their hearts, so after these resentments reached a certain level, they finally reached a level that was enough to allow the Moon Demon to be reborn.

This is also the reason why the moon demon first came to the elves!

Although it is not certain whether the moon demons on the Rodinia continent have a physical form, it is certain that the moon demons on the mainland are not the same as the moon demons on the earth. On the earth, they are more similar to a sudden appearance of "physical rules". "The Moon Demon on the mainland directly gave the extraordinary ability, that is, the contract ability, to the elves who gave birth to it, making the elves the original controllers of the power of the source of symbols.

Therefore, the circulation of symbol sources appears to be smoother in the elves. Thousands of years later, even though Tyrande no longer knows how many generations of elves, she still has innate proficiency in the manipulation of symbol sources.

Um.

Unpredictable nodded secretly in his heart and looked at Shadow Fang:

"Then?"

"The elves counterattacked the iron people, causing the fall of the Iron God. All the iron people were imprisoned on the island of Ayerkula. Then a certain ancestor of the iron people secretly had an affair with the elves. Only then did the elves possess the power that was originally possessed by the elves. The power of the talisman was stolen and circulated among the ironmen. After countless generations of accumulation, the ironmen were able to accumulate enough power of the talisman to retake the continent of Rodinia. ”

Seeing Shadow Fang nod, Mu Zhi sighed: "If so, it was not that difficult for the Ironborn to break free from the elves' imprisonment."

No matter how many times I think about it, I can never imagine how severe the situation was for the Ironborn to make a comeback.

The enemies are elves with contract power. The ironmen's process of obtaining contract power must be secretive and long-term. Only when they are able to defeat the twelve bishops of the elves can they break through the prison.

If I had to use one word to describe it, it would be a version of another world that I feel I should sleep on and endure.

"You are right!" Shadow Fang nodded again in agreement:

"The Ironborn have endured for thousands of years and struggled to survive for countless generations."

"However, this is also related to the power of the moon demon. The iron people were able to counterattack in my father's generation, except for the accumulation of countless generations of ancestors, and the laws of the moon demon's own power played a role behind it."

"Oh?" Mozhi failed to understand the meaning of Shadow Fang this time and asked instead: "The law of the moon demon's power?"

"That's right." Shadow Fang nodded: "It's unpredictable. Although the Moon Demon is reborn on the continent of Rodinia, you should be able to think of the source of the Moon Demon's power."

After Shadow Fang's reminder, Mu Zhi suddenly felt as if a door to a new world had opened:

"Are you saying that the strength of the moon demon also comes from faith?"

"From the faith of the elves who believe in him?"

"No." Thinking of this, Mu Zhi shook his head decisively for his conclusion: "It's not faith. If it were faith, the power of the Moon Demon would not weaken. It would definitely continue to be powerful, so powerful that the Ironmen could not resist. To what extent, could it be?”

Unpredictable was shocked by the conclusion he almost blurted out:

"The source of the moon demon's power is negative emotions!"

"In other words, negative human nature!"

Shadow Fang was very satisfied with the state displayed by Mu Zhi this time and nodded slowly.

Unpredictable couldn't help but secretly be shocked that he was going to cry stupidly.

He has seen in the black tree domain that the moon demon can absorb negative emotions and turn them into rune energy as nourishment for rebirth. He has even come to the conclusion that the source of the moon demon's power is negative emotions, but he only thought that This is just the energy transformation mode of the Moon Demon in its rebirth stage. I never thought that this itself is the source of the Moon Demon's powerful power.

There is only a layer of window paper between these two concepts, but it isolates Mu Zhi from thinking about it, allowing him to go back and forth in his fixed thinking, but never thinks about what is on the other side. , more important key information.

Shadow Fang couldn't help but nodded: "You are right. The source of the moon demon's power is the evil side of human nature and negative emotions. The existence of the moon demon is like a car battery. To stay strong, it needs to be discharged. This in itself It will make his power weaker and weaker. If the Moon Demon wants to maintain its strength, it must continue to collect the 'evil' parts from the minds of all intelligent creatures and transform them into runic energy. In the analogy just now, it’s electricity.”

"So, the power of the Moon Demon changes all the time. This is related to the source of its power. Do you understand? To be more specific, it is also related to the number of intelligent creatures on the mainland!"

"Because the Ironborn cannot separate the 'evil' in human nature. The more Ironborn there are, the more 'evil' they can provide to the Moon Demon. Today's continent has experienced peaceful development for thousands of years in the Unified Era. The Ironborn There are already hundreds of millions, definitely not the same number as a thousand years ago. Therefore, the Moon Demon now has an almost unlimited source of power."

Unexpectedly opened his mouth, but did not speak.

Shadow Fang's talisman sources are flowing rapidly, and the talisman sources in his tone also fluctuate more frequently:

"After the First Elf War, the Iron God was completely wiped out, and the winner was the Elf side. You have to know that the resentment of the Elf clan was the breeding ground for the birth of the Moon Demon on the Rodinia continent. But after the Elf clan won, They became the masters of this continent, and the 'resentment' in their minds was eliminated because of their successful revenge on the Ironborn."

"Of course, it may not be completely eliminated, but it is much less than before."

"After all, the winner wins the world, what kind of hatred can't be overcome?" "So, the source of the moon demon's power. I mean the power the moon demon obtained from the evil thoughts of the elves began to decrease, which made the moon demon In the end, the elves had to be abandoned. Haha, unpredictable, you must have thought of the Moon Demon changing the source of its power, right? Yes, after the failure of the first elven war, the Ironborn were the losing side, and the losers would naturally have a lot of negative emotions. , This becomes a new source of the moon demon’s power.”

"The Ironborn were enslaved and imprisoned by the elves, hahaha. You should be able to imagine that picture."

Unpredictable nodded silently.

Shadow Fang said in a concluding tone:

"Perhaps this is also the reason why after the victory of the elves, they did not drive out all the iron people, because they could no longer provide enough resentment to the moon demon. The moon demon will naturally look for new sources of power. As the god that the elves believe in, , it only requires one command.”

"Then, the elves lost the protection of the moon demon and were forever cut off from the elves. The elves could no longer get a response from the moon demon they believed in."

"At the same time, allowing the Ironborn to gain the power of the contract may also be the operation behind the Moon Demon's back! After all, under the imprisonment of the elves, the number of Ironborn cannot grow explosively. Even if they have all the negative emotions of the defeated, But the quantity is limited, and it cannot provide enough evil thoughts for the moon demon."

"The Moon Demon is probably secretly acquiescing to the process of the Ironborn obtaining the power of the Talisman. Only with the power of the Talisman can the Ironborn break out of the prison, return to the mainland, and give birth to more Ironborn descendants. Provide more resentment for the Moon Demon."

"The iron people and the elves use the source of symbols in different ways. The elves are born with the power of the symbols, but the iron people are different. Their awakening of the symbols is even irregular. Although they can still follow the rules of the elves. The clan is divided into twelve tribal systems, but the boundaries are very blurred. This may be the Moon Demon's decision after careful consideration - the more complex and uncontrollable power of the source of symbols can split the minds of the ironmen, making them unable to There is a phenomenon of unified thinking like the elves. After all, excessive collectivism is the enemy of the moon demon's ability to gain power."

"Ironmen and elves are different. The elves are a created race. They have a high degree of 'national independence'. There is a phenomenon in their thoughts that even the moon demon cannot change. That is... maybe the elves From the very beginning, they have faced huge survival pressure and a harsh living environment, so the elves are more concerned about how to continue the race, which has almost become the behavioral standard for all elves.”

"Yes, the elves are such a simple and collectivist race. It is precisely this way that after they defeated the ironborn, the pressure of the elves' survival disappeared. The victory of collectivism made them lose their control over the ironborn. Hate, and the lack of individualism cannot produce too much personal resentment.”

"The moon demon finally abandoned the elves"

"But the Ironborn are different. Creatures like the Ironborn seem to have something called selfishness in their bones, so that even if their number expands countless times, their selfishness can grow in proportion to the population. "

"The Moon Demon finally chose the Ironborn. Haha, isn't this a matter of course? Even the Moon Demon himself probably didn't expect that the decision he made was so wise. The number of Ironborn now is uncountable, but they can still do it every day. Providing the Moon Demon with countless personal grievances and countless evil sides of human nature, the Moon Demon finally has a stable source of power."

Mozhi nodded and breathed out softly: "You're right!"

Sure enough.

To sum up, the Moon Demon. This invisible "god" originates from people's evil thoughts. The more powerful the evil thoughts are, the stronger it will become.

With this premise, the history of the Rodinia continent will look clearer. Whether it is the Elf War or the Ironborn's counterattack on the continent, there may actually be a secret operation of the Moon Demon behind it.

When the Iron People first came to the mainland, their priority was to survive. When survival was under pressure, there would not be too many personal grudges. In addition, there was an Iron God in charge of the overall situation at that time, so the social structure must not be too complicated. , according to the known history, the Iron God should have had absolute leadership in the early days of Ironborn society. The Wisdom Order, isn't it like a religion that brings the Ironborn together.

At that time when there was not much resentment, the Moon Demon could not be born.

But after that, the Iron People gradually became the masters of the continent. As the tools of mankind, the meaning of the Iron God's existence is always to serve mankind. It is inevitable for them to withdraw from the stage of history after the Iron People have established a foothold. It may also be possible. It was precisely because of the loss of the Iron God's protection that the Iron People emerged as a class. The existence of classes means there must be exploitation, and the Iron God was even ordered to create a new humanoid species - elves.

Biologically speaking, elves are more perfect existences than the Ironborn, but they were created and enslaved by the Ironborn, with no chance to stand up, and the resentment caused by class arose from this.

The Moon Demon was born from the elves' resentment.

It gave the elves a powerful source of power, allowing them to rise up and resist and become the protagonists of the era.

Sure enough, in the first elven war, the iron people were defeated, and the iron gods were completely wiped out by the elves.

However, the elves, the former slave class, are simple-minded. They have continued the social form when they were first enslaved, so that it is still so unpredictable today. From Tyrande's memory, a comprehensive study of the social ecology of the elves has been carried out. understanding and was deeply shocked by it.

This is not to say that the elves are backward, this may be related to the reproduction law of the elves. After all, under the genetic engineering of the Iron God, the vast majority of the descendants of the elves are female, so there is no such thing as common in animal populations or even all biological populations. The competition for reproduction is actually equivalent to fundamentally changing the biological definition of elves.

In short, the elves were liberated, which reduced their "resentment" towards the Ironborn. In addition, the elves were a simple and kind race, and their peaceful life further weakened their "malice" towards the world.

Therefore, they can no longer provide "evil thoughts" to the moon demon, and can no longer "charge" the moon demon to maintain its strength.

Where's the moon demon?

Of course, the moon demon has no choice. It can only abandon the elves and turn to the ironborn camp.

The ironborn became prisoners of the elves, and they must have some "resentment" and became the moon demon's new battery.

This may be the most correct choice for Moon Demon.

Just because the Ironborn were imprisoned by the elves and unable to expand their population, the Ironborn "stealing" the source of symbols from the elves might have been under the watchful eye of the Moon Demon.

However, the Moon Demon acquiesced.

Only by obtaining the Talisman can the Ironborn break free from the elven clan's prison and become the masters of the continent again. Only in this way can the Ironborn reproduce freely and provide it with massive resentment.
