Chapter 134 The end of the dark tide (finale)

Beyond the high walls.

The surging black mist began to slow down and shrink, and this round of black tide entered a gentle stage.

Ji Xiu, whose whole body was burning with bloody flames, came to stand in front of the crack in the high wall and slowly closed his eyes.

His consciousness began to read through the large amount of information sent by Zuo Yi in his mind.

When he saw one of the pieces of information, his body couldn't help but tremble.

According to the information in his mind, as he fought against the sweeping black tide, Zuo Yi went to the prehistoric ruins in the central sea area, where he made many new discoveries.

Among them are the secrets related to Yu Jingshen.

This information also includes Zuo Yi's inference analysis based on the ruins information.

In this information, Zuo Yi mentioned his conjecture about the whereabouts of Yu Jingshen.

This message was left by the Lord of War in the Third Age. He believed that the initial challenger should have the ability to control time. He seemed to be able to see changes in the future and leave development opportunities for subsequent challengers.

Regarding the original challenger, there is also an introduction to him in the ruins.

Ji Xiu, who was aware of the developments in the outside world, gave up guarding the high wall at that moment and allowed the black tide to break through the blockade and sweep across the entire world.

Why did Yu Jingshen, the founder of human civilization in the new era, disappear? Where did he go?
During the investigation of the ruins, Zuo Yi made a new discovery.

After the defeat, the peak forces chose to eradicate the evil and fight all the way to the main human city of Emperor Xiu, destroying the human empire before the black tide came.

In the 738th year, the human empire was completely defeated.

One is himself and the other is Yu Jingshen.

……

The war lasted for 38 years.

The ability attributes and the initial number of abilities seem out of place.

Ji Xiu couldn't help but wonder if this initial challenger had anything to do with him.

In the ruins, Zuo Yi saw an interpretation of Yu Jingshen. The person who left this message was the challenger of the First Era, the first owner of the power of the Lord of Divine Punishment.

After reading the information in his mind, the first thing Ji Xiu thought of was his ability to restart time.

It can be seen from this information that Yu Jingshen has assisted many generations of challengers, and his parents are only one of the era challengers assisted by Yu Jingshen.

But the answer to this question is not yet known.

It can be concluded from this that the number of Anno Challengers is far more than eight.

As a time-traveler, he is really different from other time-travelers.

Although he can still continue to cut off his consciousness, the cut-off consciousness can no longer enter the world's reincarnation system. It seems that the number of travelers that the world's reincarnation system can accept is already full.

Emperor Xiu 13238.

Yu Jingshen has the ability to see the past. Through this ability, he created a formation information database and recorded the war between the Era Challengers and the Black Tide Natural Disaster in the formation information database, allowing them to know some things that happened in the past.

Especially the ability to restart time. Having this ability is equivalent to having unlimited opportunities to restart. He can't even imagine how he could lose.

But in this battle, humans also defeated the Furious Clan's defense line, showing unparalleled terrifying strength.

Other challengers all have one ability, but he has the ability to restart time after death, and the ability to pray for strength that is different from natural disaster abilities.

Emperor Xiu 600.

At this time, the comprehensive strength of the human empire is enough to rank among the top three in the legendary inner sea.

But now there is an original challenger who also has time-related abilities.

The human empire launched an inland sea war, challenged the Wrathful God, and vowed to take back the Wrathful God's Seal.

This time, the Human Empire started with 997 legion commanders.

This time, it took humans only 600 years to reach the legendary sea area.

A new reincarnation also begins.

This problem also troubled Ji Xiu.

After many attempts, Ji Xiu gave up the idea of ​​continuing to create a legion commander.

Including the high wall in the north, it was also built by the challengers of the "First Age".

Therefore, Yu Jingshen is likely to be the inheritance created by the original challenger. Like the Rune Wall and the Fire Shelter, it is a gift left to future challengers.

Before this, there were only two people he knew who had time-related abilities.

With the start of the 997 legion commanders, the Human Empire has been invincible since the beginning of the Great Crusade, sweeping all the alien forces leading to the legendary sea.

Before the Lord of Divine Punishment traveled through time and came to this world, there was another original challenger.

Ji Xiu discovered a problem during this period.

In his description, Yu Jingshen was born from the challengers of the original era.

Initially, envoys from various peak tribes came to persuade, but after discovering that the Human Empire was unwilling to reconcile at all, 63 peak forces joined the battlefield at the same time and started war against the Human Empire.

It's like a BUG in the world program.

It's like a max-level boss entering a novice village without any enemies.

Emperor Xiu 1728.

Humanity challenges the legendary inner sea force "Inner Demon Clan" and reaches the top of the world.

The reason why the old rival Dark Clan was not chosen is because the Dark Seal has already been archived in the mist space. The Dark God has already lost the Seal after time restarted, and his strength has been greatly reduced, and the power of faith given to his dependents has also been affected.

Before the human empire reached the legendary sea, the Dark Tribe, one of the 64 peak tribes, was discovered by the challengers from outside the sea and launched a challenge to the Dark Tribe.

The dark tribe has withdrawn from the stage of history early.

This time entering the legendary sea, the human empire no longer chooses to challenge the Furious Tribe directly.

Instead, a new strategy was adopted.

During the fight with the Furious Clan in the previous timeline, the Furious God took the initiative to scold the top powerful tribe who came to help, saying that he would lead the Furious Clan to fight the human race in an upright manner.

However, the top powerful clans ignored the angry god's request and actively joined the war to encircle and suppress the human empire.

After this battle, Zuo Yi believed that there was no need to go through war to obtain the Seal of Fury.

With the character of the wrathful god, it is completely possible to challenge him in a 1V1.

In this process, the furious god will be killed, and the peak tribes will not have any objections.

After all, this is not a race war, it is just a challenge, and it is the challenge that the angry god is most happy to see.

As for who to send to challenge the Furious God, Zuo Yi decided after careful consideration to let the 11th Legion Commander, the Soul-locking Lord, go into battle and let him fulfill his promise to fight the Furious God.

The strength of the Soul Locking Lord is not strong among the 997 legion commanders, but Zuo Yi is sure that the Soul Locking Lord can win.

The reason is very simple. Behind Cao Lie, the Lord of Soul Locking, stands an Imperial Cultivator who can control power.

He can extract the power of the legion commander for his own use, or he can instill his own power into the legion commander just like the legion commander bestows it on his believers.

This battle broke out in Emperor Xiu 2129.

Cao Lie, the Lord of Soul Locking, and the Furious God fought under the watchful eyes of the peak forces of the Inner Sea.

During this process, Ji Xiu's power continued to pour into Cao Lie's body, causing Cao Lie's strength to increase exponentially.

There was no suspense about the outcome of the battle. The Furious God was killed by Cao Lie.

The lost divine seal was recovered and sent to the main city of Imperial Cultivation.

Ten years later, the 998th legion commander of the Human Empire, the "Lord of Fury", was born.

Emperor Xiu 4273.

The Human Empire began to hunt down the God of Trickery and issued a wanted order to all forces in the outer seas. All forces that provided information about the Lord of Trickery could receive precious resources rewarded by the Human Empire.

During this period, the human empire was already the strongest force, bar none.

But the cunningness of the God of Trickery is far beyond the imagination of the human empire.

It was not until Emperor Xiu 6382 that the Human Empire was able to capture the God of Trickery.

Although a dragnet was laid on the outer sea, the God of Trickery was always able to escape easily until he completely disappeared.

Finally, the hidden God of Conspiracy was found in the main human city of Emperor Xiu.

The most dangerous place is the safest place, and the God of Trickery has proved the feasibility of this sentence with his actions.

At this point, the Human Empire has completed all legion commanders, a total of 999.

Emperor Xiu 8293.

The human empire swept across the Peak Inner Sea, cleared all the forces and then monopolized the legendary sea.

A similar scene also happened in prehistoric times.

Every Anno Challenger follows a similar path.

After the resurrection of human fire in the new era, because it is in the legendary inland sea with the craziest life resurgence, original gods are born almost every minute. However, the human fire that just walked out of the shelter is extremely weak, so it will be led by Yu Jingshen. Go near the high walls and thrive in the barrenest continent.

It is like a novice village. Due to the lack of resources, it will not attract the attention of powerful tribes outside the sea.

This process will continue until the arrival of the challengers of the new era, starting from Novice Village and heading towards the Legendary Inland Sea until they become the only force in the Legendary Sea.

After this, it is time to face the Kuroshio natural disaster.

The Human Empire has completed the path planned by the Great Expedition, and all that is left is the war against the Black Tide Scourge.

Emperor Xiu 20213.

The human empire fought against the Kuroshio Natural Disaster and was defeated in the battle with the 129th Demon King, and a new reincarnation began.

Emperor Xiu 23482.

The Human Empire challenged the Kuroshio Natural Disaster for the third time, and was defeated in the battle with Demon King 283, and a new reincarnation began.

……

Emperor Xiu 99987.

The Human Empire challenges the Kuroshio Natural Disaster for the 108th time.

After defeating the 999th demon king of the black tide, Ji Xiu, who led the human army to move forward, saw a figure sitting cross-legged at the end of the black tide, blocking the black mist surging behind.

This figure was extremely familiar to him.

It is himself.

Seeing Ji Xiu's arrival, the figure opened his eyes with a smile on his face:
"You finally came."

The moment consciousness came into contact, all the truth unfolded before Ji Xiu's eyes.

Only then did Ji Xiu realize that he was the original challenger. The figure in front is exactly its clone consciousness.

In the original era, he and thousands of other people traveled through time and came to this world at the same time. But for some unknown reason, he gained the power of "Time", the ultimate demon king of the black tide, after crossing over. The other people who traveled through time all died within a short period of time.

The truth of the Kuroshio is that the upper world is a breeding ground for harvesting lives.

Every mature season, the 1000 demon kings of the Kuroshio exercise their scythe duties to harvest all creatures in the new era and send them to the upper world.

This process starts over and over again, never ending.

Until the arrival of the initial challenger, everything changed.

Because the initial challenger has the ability to restart time, he can start over every time he fails. He has tried countless times to defeat the Black Tide Natural Disaster.

After experiencing countless failures, the initial challengers realized that there was no possibility of defeating the Kuroshio Natural Disaster in this world.

So he looked at the Black Tide Natural Disaster and thought of a question.

Why, as a time traveler, can I obtain the time restart ability of the Black Tide Ultimate Demon King, but other time travellers do not have the ability.

The initial challenger who wants to solve the mystery steps into the black fog and tries to find the truth.

This process went through countless deaths in the black tide, and finally the initial challenger saw a bead embedded in the rules of the world at the end of the black tide.

The answer is also revealed.

It turns out that when he traveled through time, a bug appeared in the rules of the world due to the influx of external forces. It was equivalent to a piece of garbled code suddenly inserted into the running program, causing the power that should have been sent to Kuroshio to revive the ultimate demon king to be sent to him.

This also resulted in the death of the Ultimate Demon King.

But other time travelers were not as lucky as him. After coming to this world, they all died suddenly due to the rejection of the world's rules.

The initial challengers who learned the truth began to study ways to integrate into the rules of the world.

After countless attempts, he created the fire of human rules and implanted it into the ground of the continent.

When the initial challenger turned back time to the starting point of time travel, this time he used the fire of rules to allow thousands of humans who should have died suddenly to survive and became the followers of the initial challenger.

Since then, they have tried countless ways to challenge the Kuroshio.

The civilizational technologies left on the continent are all the means used by the initial challengers and the followers who traveled through time to try to defeat the Kuroshio natural disaster.

But these civilizational technologies failed.

In the end, the original challenger returned to the end of all black tides and found the black tide rule bead.

He began to wait, waiting for the challengers of the new era to come again in the future.

During the long wait, he waited until the first era, that is, the arrival of the Lord of Divine Punishment through time.

The first time he arrived in time travel, the initial challenger controlled the Black Tide Rule Bead and delivered a brand of demonic power inside to the new time traveler.

In this way, the newcomer gained the power of the Lord of Divine Punishment, which is actually the Demon King of Divine Punishment.

But the Demon King of Divine Punishment did not die.

Unlike the initial challenger, the initial challenger directly obtains the power of the ultimate devil.

However, the Lord of Divine Punishment only obtained the rubbing of the power seed of the Divine Punishment Demon King. Growth requires his own efforts, because the initial challenger cannot control the rules of the world at all and can only steal a ray of power through stealing, which cannot be completely transferred.

This is also the reason why each era challenger needs to grow gradually.

Years later, the second challenger arrived, and he gained the power of the Death Demon.

The third challenger gained the power of the War Demon.

……

Every challenger of the era who arrives can gain the power of the Demon King.

In addition, the initial challenger used half of his time to create a life "Yu Jing" to assist the challenger's growth.

Every challenger grows up and understands the world with Yu Jing's help.

Yu Jingshen's memory will also be restarted after epochs to avoid natural disasters, and then continue to assist the next challenger according to the set procedures.

Until the eighth era, two challengers came at once.

When he discovered that it was his parents who were coming, the initial challenger at the end of the dark tide tried his best to send out the power of the four demon kings.

After this, the original challenger fell into a coma.

When he woke up, what he saw was the beginning of a new era. His parents had long been swallowed up by the Black Tide Natural Disaster, and Yu Jing was building a new human civilization, waiting for the next challenger to arrive.

This time, the original challenger was angry.

It seems that there is no way this cycle will end. There is no challenger who can defeat the 999 Black Tide Demon Lords.

The original challenger gave up in agony.

But in the long years of decadence, the original challenger suddenly had an idea.

He thought about the possibility of crossing the BUG and creating more challengers at once.

The rudiments of this plan took root in the minds of the original challengers.

The idea of ​​praying to divide the conscious soul was gradually refined after this.

When the plan is launched, the initial challenger leaves his consciousness clone in the black tide, and the body goes to the outside world and becomes the core part of the plan.

So, Ji Xiu traveled through time.

He was the original challenger and the challenger of the new era.

But the plan ran into problems at the initial stage. During the process of crossing the Black Tide, the initial challenger found that his soul was collapsing, but he was unable to activate the power of time to return to the starting point.

The reason is simple, his abilities are no longer complete.

He gave Yu Jing half of his time power to assist the Era Challengers.

Just when the soul consciousness of the initial challenger was about to be swallowed by the black tide, Yu Jingshen came through the black tide and completed the fusion with him.

The fragmented soul lost a lot of memory, but still came to the human world of the new era according to the established settings, and accidentally traveled into Han Yun's body.

The ability to seize the body is essentially a demon king body switching system designed by the initial challenger for himself.

In the initial challenger's conception, he will continue to cut his own soul, and the consciousness clone placed at the end of the black tide will give him the power of the Demon King every time he cuts his soul. In the final battle, he will control 999 machines to master the Demon King. The powerful god's body fights against the black tide.

So soul transfer is the key to this plan. He can switch to any body that has the power of the Demon King at any time.

But the problem is that his memory is completely lost. Ji Xiu, who thought he had just traveled through time, had no idea about the plan.

The soul is constantly cut during the process of crossing and leaving the black tide, and part of the soul and the power of time are even sent to the starting point before the crossing by the chaotic timeline.

That is, the earth has caused a reverse flow of time on the earth.

Then he was sent to this world again to complete the pieces. A large number of messed up timelines caused some problems in the entire world.

This is also the reason why Ji Xiu feels that his parents traveled through time before him, but in fact, the time on earth has also restarted.

Soul transfer, time restart, consciousness cutting with the ability to pray to gods... these are all the initial challengers' preparation for defeating the Kuroshio natural disaster.

This also explains why Qi Shen's ability to cut souls is different from the abilities of other legion commanders.

The abilities of the legion commander are all related to the Black Tide Demon King, but he is a praying god, and he is not like the other legion commanders of Dark Wind.

Essentially, this is not the ability of the Black Tide Demon King, but the soul-cutting system created by the initial challenger who wants to defeat the Black Tide.

Something went wrong in the process, but not in the end.

In the process of guarding the high wall, he came up with the idea of ​​using the power of prayer to cut off the soul consciousness and use a clone to walk the world.

After he cut out the first ray of consciousness, the original challenger's consciousness clone at the end of the black tide followed the established procedure and decisively grabbed a brand of the black tide devil's ability and projected it into this ray of consciousness.

Thus, the method of creating a legion leader emerged.

He thought he had found a way to create a god, but it was actually part of the "999 clones fighting the black tide" plan originally designed for him by the initial challenger.

The most exquisite thing about the design of this set of clones is that the 999 clones are completely controlled by the original figure, and the original figure can even draw the power of the other clones.

Infuse yourself with the power of 999 cloned demon kings and gain power beyond the black tide.

All the truth is revealed at this moment.

Only then did Ji Xiu realize that he had inadvertently walked on a path that had already been planned.

The difference is that he did not take the "999 clone fighting the black tide path".

Each of the 999 legion commanders has his own consciousness, respects him as an imperial cultivator through faith, and is willing to risk his life to fight for him.

So he took a different path and came out with better results than the original Challenger had planned.

……

The consciousness clone at the end of the black tide stood up at this moment, turning into a wisp of black smoke and blending with his body.

Fusion with the backup memory, Ji Xiu knows all the truth.

He raised his head and looked at the world of black mist that was blocked by invisible barriers.

The information in his memory told him that the war was not over yet.

The harvest of the upper world will come at any time.

The power of the Black Tide Demon King he possesses is just a tool for the upper world to harvest this breeding farm.

But no matter how difficult the road ahead is.

He will use this "breeding farm" as a starting point to break free from the prison and counterattack the upper world.

Final words:

Brothers, this book is not written satisfactorily, and I am truly ashamed of your support.

The writing at the back of this book is very rough, and many contents are not written in detail. They are all quickly advanced through descriptions of the world view, like giving an outline to fill in the final story.

This chapter has explained all the foreshadowing that has not been explained before. The context of the story has been clear, and the book is considered complete.

There is a foreshadowing at the end. If there is a chance in the future, it will connect with the end of the timeline and enter the world where the Scarlet Lord is the protagonist with Feng Qi.

The world view of the Crimson Lord will also be rewritten. It will no longer be the plot of "Shadow Crown", but it will not be in the next new book... in the future.

I want to write something new for my new book.

See you in the next book, brothers.

Brothers who have supported me up to this point, I apologize again for your support.

I hope the next book will bring you a better reading experience.

Goodbye!
