Chapter 735 The Gods Who Caused Great Disasters
The story between these ancient Outer Gods and the evil Shadow can probably be written as a cliché and sad story.

Simply put, this is a big mess that was accidentally created by a group of Outer Gods who claim to be righteous in the void:

The origin of the alliance is that two ancient gods with a close relationship felt the eternal chaotic war in the void and the endless cycle of birth and death of the world, so they formed a simple alliance with their respective pantheons, separated the gods from the daily operation of various rules in the docking world, and instead established an expeditionary force-like structure specifically responsible for mediating between the warring parties in the various war worlds.

This is normal. After a large number of gods in the void form an alliance, the fundamental purpose of their alliance is either to help the weak or to combine to invade other worlds. The so-called justice and evil also come from this!

But the real problem came later.

As the Alliance develops and more worlds are saved, those worlds that have been helped by the Alliance are also willing to join the Alliance to help more worlds that have been invaded and tormented by war.

As a result, the scale of the alliance has expanded at an unprecedented rapid pace.

But no matter how much they grow, whether they are humans or gods, their power will eventually be limited and they cannot achieve perfection.

Even after a period of development, the Alliance already has several masters of civilization, hundreds of great and tens of thousands of powerful gods as formal members (gods of medium power and below will be left in the original world to continue to maintain the operation of the world's rules, while divine lives that have not ignited the divine fire but possess eternal divine youth will serve as servants or logistical support personnel of the Alliance and follow the Alliance's armies to the target world to deal with the various debris generated during the war).

However, even such a huge alliance of gods, faced with the endless void and the war that spread throughout the void, is still unable to rescue every world that asks them for help. Even due to the limitations of distance and information dissemination, some worlds that are being affected by the war are simply unable to know the alliance's communication methods and methods of calling for help.

This has resulted in the situation that although the Alliance has tried its best to rescue the worlds affected by the war, there is always a certain percentage of worlds that have not had time to enter at the most appropriate time. By the time the Alliance's army arrives, either the war is largely over and the invading party has begun the final cleansing, or hundreds or thousands of years have passed since the war and the invading party has completed the integration of their worldview and has completely become the master of this world!

When targeting the strong, they can use the excuse of revenge for the dead to start a new war and wipe out the invaders to give the natives fairness, but when facing the latter, severe warnings and a certain degree of punishment are already the best they can do.

Even if it is the former, we have to consider whether the indigenous people, who are devastated and only one in ten survived, have the ability to defend their own world.

Therefore, the Alliance developed a method of splitting off part of the indigenous world's essence to temporarily preserve it with the Alliance's reputation as a guarantee; and leaving some members behind as combat forces to help the indigenous people rebuild after the disaster.

Although the intention was good, this was the beginning of a fall into the abyss.

With the increase in the number of members and the proliferation of sources, the alliance that originally implemented justice and assistance gradually showed slight deviations. After saving the world, some members began to extort and demanded bribes, and even asked the saved world to pay a certain amount of resources and population to provide the "food and grass" for the alliance's expedition.

As for the members stationed in the indigenous world, due to loose management and the lengthy process of world reconstruction, they gradually transformed from allies who helped each other to colonizers and landlords. Not only did they act arrogantly in the indigenous world, but they also tried their best to delay the progress of world reconstruction.

As for the method, it is very simple.

Don't you want to reconstruct the pantheon and allow species in the material world to reproduce back to their original state?

Well then, I will transfer a group of divine beings and gods with weak divine power from my own world to occupy the vacant rules first, and use the resources of the indigenous world to support my own gods!

As for the divine fire being ignited and occupied and then dispatched back, the lower-level gods will slowly weaken due to being far away from the area where their authority is bound, and they can be gradually and stably replaced by transporting materials and creatures from the indigenous world.

In this way, a complete cycle of laying chickens and eggs is constructed!
Of course, based on the structure of the alliance and the original intentions of the first few people, the so-called food and grass will never be handed over to the alliance's treasury. Although the middle and lower-level members of the alliance know that each other is doing evil things, it is precisely because more people are involved that they can keep it secret more.

Later, the aftermath of rescue and plunder became more and more widespread, until several later leaders of civilizations were dragged into the water. And for tens of thousands of years, except for the various worlds to which the members themselves belonged, there was no new source of joining the alliance. Only then did the founders discover the clues!
However, even after being discovered, these members still had all kinds of excuses among themselves.

But as an ancient god who upholds justice, no one can shake the decision of a lord of civilization as long as his original intention remains unchanged!

As a result, a brutal purge was carried out within the alliance!

The incident affected seven leaders of civilizations and nearly two-thirds of the middle and lower-level members. The originally huge and bloated alliance structure became empty in an instant after this incident. Even the basic foundation that had been built up with countless time began to become unstable, and initial signs of collapse appeared!

Because the Alliance's pursuit of justice angered too many neutral and evil gods and civilizations, just like the outer space war that rushed into Kyushu after the war between humans and gods, former enemies came to the door one after another.

Seeing that their lifelong foundation was on the verge of collapse, not only was the alliance forged with blood and tears on the verge of destruction, but even their own native world was about to suffer brutal targeting and cleansing. The top leaders of the alliance had no choice but to compromise.

A large number of gods who were imprisoned and sentenced were able to be released again to fight for the alliance, accumulating merits with their guilty bodies to atone for their sins!

The rescue method was good, but it was too late and too drastic.

The neutral party is still okay, but the world of the chaotic evil camp and the equally powerful alliances of gods have long hated the former. Moreover, the weakness of an overlord will inevitably attract sneak attacks from some treacherous villains who are seeking fame and fortune, in addition to his original enemies.

Under the siege of enemies far beyond their expectations, the Alliance did not have the resilience of Jiuzhou, nor did it have allies as ridiculously powerful as Manhuang. Although the Alliance itself was finally preserved, its scope and structure were no longer as good as before. Fortunately, it did not perish!

Therefore, several ancient gods, having learned their lesson, decided to conduct a rigorous operation on all the gods in the alliance, including themselves!

Except for those members who are truly so evil that their deeds do not justify their sins, all other members, whether they were there in the past or are new members or even those who will join the alliance in the future, must go through such a baptism, that is - all gods from top to bottom have some of their redundant desires severed. Although they cannot reach the level of severing emotions and making a decisive move, they are also the second most powerful Liuxia Hui on average.

After the division, the alliance really changed its original fate of rise and fall. After a period of repair, it regrouped and began to become famous in the void. The alliance with sufficient manpower and everyone's overflowing sense of justice quickly spread in the void and expanded day by day, until it ran into a corner of the wilderness and wanted to go in to investigate and implement its own justice, but it met Yinglong, who was hiding outside the wilderness because he was too lazy to care about the follow-up of the Yanhuang War.

A great war thus began.

Yinglong alone destroyed three vanguards of the alliance in succession. The alliance was forced to send its main forces to the battlefield and encountered the luxurious team of Three Emperors with Xuanyuan, Queen Mother of the West and three dragons and one emperor. However, the lazy defense and counterattack caused the alliance to suffer the second largest loss since the purge.

The fall of dozens of civilization masters and the death and injury of a large number of members, including the subsequent seizure of the divine body, used magic to capture the worlds of the members one by one
The Alliance, which suffered a great loss and was unable to win, could only swallow its pride and gave up the direction of the wilderness, and went to other directions of the void to enforce its justice!
Well, justice from the heart!
Of course, this is not the point. The point is that every member of the alliance must undergo the cutting operation. The desire that is stripped away from each person is the real root of the disaster!

It should be noted that the desires of mortals and spirits can give rise to evil gods like Wutongshen who can wreak havoc in an entire state. The evil fall of Kinnara Bodhisattva can even cause turmoil in the entire Lingshan Mountain and the Three Realms. What's more, when the desires of countless gods based on powerful divine power come together, what kind of evil creatures will be bred!

The key is that desire and the essence are in a mutually reinforcing relationship. Just like the mind and the six thieves in the concept of Kyushu, although they are the floating of human hearts and the manifestation of malicious intent, they are also one of the roots of the essence. It is okay to cut them off and separate them, but if they are really cut off and destroyed, firstly, it will implicate the essence and the original body of the god will perish if it is not careful. Secondly, even if the disaster is passed safely, the god whose desire is cut off will lose the possibility of further progress because of the lack of perfection!

Therefore, if they cannot be killed, they can only be imprisoned and sealed as much as possible, and at the right time, select those desires whose bodies are already dead and kill them completely to maintain the situation.

Although enforcing justice has a price, the Alliance will not let a large number of members die in vain just for the trouble caused by desire. If it really does so, how will the result be different from the previous result of not separating desires and exploiting the indigenous world?
However, the result of ineffective consumption of desires is that as the number of members increases, the accumulation of operations causes the imprisoned and sealed desires to accumulate to a terrifying number. The sealed location is moved from the original alliance base to a multiverse specially opened up for it, assisted by various means.

Although the number of desires is still increasing, in order to avoid uncontrollable risks, the alliance is unwilling to transfer them to a civilized system with more complete and solid rules for imprisonment.

But even so, the situation still got out of control in the end, and countless desires killed and devoured each other in private, so that when the alliance reacted, the multiverse that was originally a place of imprisonment had completely turned into a devil's cave!
This is the origin of the City of Desire and the source of the evil shadow behind it.

The so-called Shadow of the Fallen is an individual born from the desires of countless gods devouring each other. Although it is limited to the level of great divine power by the essence of the City of Desire, because of its inseparable relationship with the gods of the Alliance, the gods have to suppress it when facing it.

Not only was the Lord of Civilization forced to the level of greatness, he was also restricted in fighting, and even more so had to face an enhanced Pro version that was almost a complete replica of himself.

Not to mention the gods, even the most skilled practitioner in Jiuzhou who is good at killing the inner demon would be at a loss.

They can't move it, they can't kill it, and the time they delay makes it more powerful. Even if they invite the leaders of other irrelevant civilizations, it will be of no avail. What's more, the alliance has to guard against the other party's bad intentions and use the Shadow of Evil to kill the members of the alliance, including themselves!
Thus, faced with another catastrophe, the Alliance had no choice but to imprison the City of Desire and slowly search for a way to eliminate the trouble once and for all!
This search lasted for hundreds and tens of millions of years, until Jiuzhou was born and Zhang Ke embarked on the road to transcendence; until the remote city of desire was transformed into a dreamland for void chaos seekers and hedonists.

A large amount of sin is pervasive here, and countless desires have pushed the evil shadow that has bound the essence of the world onto the throne of the Lord of Civilization!
The Alliance, on the other hand, can only ask for help from the players, and weaken the Shadow of the Evil by issuing tasks to destroy the opponent's lair.

What’s interesting is that the Evil Shadow is also happy to play along with the gods in this clumsy trick.

Watching this unnecessary harassment every day makes the Evil Shadow secretly happy.

There is no way, the gods are worried that killing him will hinder their own future, but the evil shadow composed of the desires of countless beings is not afraid of this.

Simply put, the Shadow of the Fallen is the only and indispensable thing for the gods; but on the other hand, even if the gods die, he will only be greatly weakened, at most falling from the Lord of Civilization to greatness, or even powerful god power, but because of the incomplete desires left by the dead in the alliance and the part of the desires of the greedy void absorbed for countless years, he can be injured but not die, and even benefited from this "body" that is spread throughout the void. It is really too difficult to completely kill the Shadow of the Fallen.

He can replace his original body at any time, and the only thing he loses is a share of his flesh and blood clone!

With such a reversal of relationship, the thing that was once hated by everyone has now become the supreme treasure.

But even so, the Shadow of the Fallen still wants to pretend and continue to maintain superficial peace with the gods in order to draw more sources of power from the City of Desire and divide more resurrection beacons.

Having absorbed the desires of countless humans and gods, and accumulated knowledge and experience far beyond that of any single life in the void, He has truly realized the essence of life.

I can’t say that I’m invincible, but at least when I grow up and cut off ties with the gods and encounter the Savage Group, I can guarantee that I can escape!

This is the most luxurious lineup that Shadow of the Fallen has ever seen in his complex memories, and each of them is the strongest and most comprehensive individual when separated.

Even though it knows that this goal is very far away, it has endured being a prisoner and having to endure humiliation for tens of millions of years. Why should it be worried about living such a comfortable life now?
impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
To be a villain, one must have the awareness of a villain. After seeing too many failed cases in memory, he understands too well the sage saying that one will never come out of the mountain until he has mastered the skills!
Then, he had the bad luck to run into Zhang Ke taking his kids out for a team-building activity after a long absence. He just happened to choose the City of Desire and just happened to go there in person.

Sometimes, God really cannot help but believe in fate!

Who could have predicted this sudden disaster?
But even so, the evil shadow showed no sadness or mourning when the nest he had accumulated for tens of millions of years was destroyed. He didn't even make a sound and just did something with the help of a completely cut-off video after his real body slipped away.

It definitely doesn't have the courage to fight with Zhang Ke!

A man's name is like the shadow of a tree. In the memory of the newly acquired Beacon of Desire over the past hundred years, it has heard too many great things that this man has done!

How dare it use powerful divine power to overthrow greatness, destroy several civilizations in decades, and build the supreme throne with the corpses of the masters of civilization? How dare this killer, a thing that plays with people's hearts and hides behind the scenes, do you think it dares to do anything wrong?

He only dared to leave some information to let this killer cause trouble to the gods of the alliance. It would be best to wipe out the alliance in one fell swoop, so that the connection would be completely cut off and he would be able to live a free life.

In order to achieve its goal, it was even afraid that this evil person was too "naive" to think and associate, so it almost wrote out the name of its "backer" directly.

However, unexpectedly, the original plan went well, and Zhang Ke really wanted to get to the bottom of it, but plans can never keep up with changes.

A molten source led Zhang Ke in another direction. Four cowardly outer gods created a creation embryo, which attracted countless ancient gods in the void to rush to the stage, and a fierce fight broke out in the void!
The evil shadow hiding behind the scenes was stunned, and the gods of the alliance who were plotted against were also numb.

They hoped that the gods could completely eliminate Zhang Ke to prevent themselves from being implicated by the Evil Shadow, but they were also worried that if they let the Evil Shadow go this time, it would cause trouble again in the future.

Confused and nervous.

While the main body was busy organizing an alliance to carry out a great transfer into the void, these clones gathered together, chatted briefly for a while, and then began to gaze into the void and sigh.

These gods are not powerful enough!

They are all masters of civilization, so why can't they cause considerable damage to Evil without using the combined finishing move just now?
There are nearly four or five hundred of them, and they are just going to let this kid, who just got weaned off his virginity not long ago, roam around in a camp full of gods and spirits?

They are all a bunch of rubbish!
Of course, they definitely wouldn't dare to do it themselves.

As the saying goes, only those who wrong you know how wronged you are. As bystanders, they also saw with their own eyes that at the beginning, there were still some gods who were good at fighting and fighting with Zhang Ke, but they were left behind in a short while. Even after the tide of glory, no god in the entire battlefield could match Zhang Ke in one-on-one combat. The trend of crushing made the gods terrified.
