A journey of survival starting from Zhetian

Chapter 362 Humanity in the Dark Age

In an ancient castle in a forest illuminated by a silver moon, Lilith once again summoned her "creations" here.

"The great ancestor."

"The great ancestor."

"."

The vampires knelt on the ground, looking at the gorgeously dressed girl sitting on the throne in front of them with a fanatical faith, as if they were looking up at a god who was about to stand at the top of the world. Because their supreme ancestor had already gathered all the materials to ascend to the throne, and as long as the time was right, he would become the strongest on this continent.

But unlike what these vampires thought, Lilith felt a little powerless at this moment. The girl fiddled with the four blood-colored crystals in her hands, feeling the madness stirring in her body, and sighed silently.

The blood race created by Lilith was very powerful, much smarter than most elves, giants, and dragons. Not long after He gave the order to find the Beyonder Characteristics, the blood race members found the Beyonder Characteristics of "Moon" that Lilith was missing in just a few days and brought them back to the castle.

Now the uniqueness of the "moon" and three extraordinary characteristics containing more "moon" power are in Lilith's hands. The conditions for becoming a god are already met, and the power to dominate the world is just around the corner. But He dare not swallow these extraordinary characteristics, and even has to suppress the desire to swallow these extraordinary characteristics in his body.

Because once He follows His inner desire to devour the Beyonder Characteristics and swallows three Beyonder Characteristics containing the power of the "Moon" and the uniqueness of the "Moon", He will fall into madness irreversibly.

The girl sitting on the throne sighed quietly again, and a trace of spirituality emanated from her body, sending three different images of extraordinary characteristics into the minds of all the vampires in the castle.

He said with a hint of majesty, "Go find these three extraordinary characteristics. I need them."

After the vampires lowered their heads and paid the highest respects to their ancestor, they turned into pitch-black bats and flew in all directions.

Lilith closed her eyes and thought for a while, then whispered to the empty castle, "Olnia."

As soon as she finished speaking, a beautiful girl came to Lilith with a solemn look and bowed to her.

Lilith whispered, "Are there any signs of human activities on our territory? I remember you mentioned this question before."

Ornia replied gracefully, "Yes, ancestor. There are still traces of human activities in our blood clan's territory. I mentioned this to you thirty years ago."

Lilith tapped the armrests of the throne with her fingers, opened her bright bloodshot eyes, and looked up at the silver moon hanging high in the sky.

After a while, he retracted his gaze, looked at Ornia, and continued to ask, "What is their current state?"

The dignified girl replied, "According to your instructions back then, any creature that does not cause rebellion or unrest can have a place to live in our territory, and the same applies to humans."

"However, in recent years, the human population has decreased due to various natural disasters and attacks by other extraordinary creatures, and is no longer a source of blood supply for our race. Although humans are still under the protection of our race, many members of our race have basically abandoned this group and no longer regard it as an affiliate of our race."

Lilith closed her eyes that contained a hint of madness, and Ornia, the dignified vampire girl, did not make any more sound, causing the entire castle to fall into silence again.

After a full hour, Lilith looked at Ornia again with a complicated expression. "Since the blood race no longer regards humans as subordinates, send all humans in the territory to the new tower. From now on, the human race will officially leave the protection of the blood race."

When Ornia heard the order from the ancestor of the blood clan, her expression changed slightly.

In this crazy age, if there were no support from the existence of multiple saints, those extraordinary creatures that have completely gone crazy in the wilderness would tear apart any life that walked out of the vampire territory.

As for the human race, there is no saint in existence at present. In other words, once humans officially leave the protection of the blood race, it means that they may be destroyed at any time.

He, the supreme ancestor, is going to exterminate all human beings?

Seeing the change in Ornia's expression, Lilith waved her hand, "I'm not trying to destroy humanity, but they already have their own 'God' and don't need my protection. The one who built that tower is a remnant of the old days who is no less dignified than me."

"Moving the humans in the territory to the tower He named the Stargazing Tower is a way to show goodwill to that being. It can also clear a small area of ​​living space in the territory and assign it to other races."

Ornia replied in a low voice, "I understand, First Ancestor. I will arrange it right away and send the humans to the Observatory Tower."

After replying to the ancestor of the blood clan, He transformed into a black bat and flew out of the castle, starting to arrange the migration of humans.

On the throne, only Lilith was left, lost in thought.

"Does this person from the Old Ones no longer need faith to maintain the balance of his mental state, and is he able to fight the revived spirit in his body on his own? Or has he completely gotten rid of the interference of the spiritual imprint within his Beyonder characteristics, and no longer needs believers as an 'anchor' to hedge against madness, and is he completely free?"

"With this group of humans as a test, we should be able to see something. Can one's own consciousness alone really counter the spiritual imprint of the Beyonder characteristics in the body?"

Although the sage's power has surpassed that of the ancestor of the blood race, he still doubted what the old survivor said, after all, it was beyond his understanding.

. . .

At the same time, after returning to the gathering place of the elves, Soniatholem immediately prepared to return to the Western Continent.

As time passed, ships slowly appeared on the coast, hoisted their sails, and under the roars of the elves, began to move towards the foggy ocean. This time they were going to return to their hometown.

Sonyasolem, the Elf King, also sat in this fleet with a complicated expression.

He will lead the way back to the high-risk area truly abandoned by the elves, and go deep into the mountains by the sea, explore the forbidden area, find the object buried deep under the mountains, and exchange it for extraordinary characteristics for promotion from the sage.

Omibella also brought the scroll given by the sage, which contained a lot of mystical knowledge, back to the City of Giants, met Ormir, and told the future Giant King everything she had seen and heard in the tower.

But after Olmir heard this, his whole face wrinkled instantly, "The sage is in that tower called the Stargazing Tower? My queen, are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"

Omibella shook her head and said with a smile, "My king, the aura emanating from that sage is even more powerful than yours. Moreover, He personally admitted that He is a remnant of the Old Ones. It is impossible for a being of such stature to lie."

"His name is 'Sage'. He is a remnant of the old days and is slightly more powerful than you, my king. Apart from the one you mentioned before, I can't think of anyone who doesn't match the characteristics you described before."

However, Olmir still felt that something was wrong. He clearly remembered that the sage said that he would leave reality for a period of time. According to Olmir's guess, it should be a ritual to assist in promotion. According to common sense, the sage should not be in reality for hundreds of years.

However, now a stargazing tower suddenly appears, and the sage also appears in the eyes of all the extraordinary creatures on the continent. This is unreasonable.

Olmir used his huge single eye to look at the blue-white tower that was visible to the naked eye, towering into the clouds. At the same time, he recalled the "response" after chanting the honorable name when he was promoted, and a hint of enlightenment gradually appeared in his mind.

After thinking for a long time, the future Giant King whispered to Omybella, "My queen, the sage you saw is probably not his real body, but an avatar. The figure sitting on the tower now is not really the survivor of the old days."

After hearing what Olmir said, Omibella's expression changed again. The clone alone was more powerful than the future giant king, so how terrifying would the original body be?

Without waiting for Omibella to continue thinking, Olmir smiled and said, "In this case, I can rest assured. The 'prophecy' spoken by an avatar cannot be accurate. And if you really die, the giants and I should die before you."

Olmir hugged Omybella and patted her back gently, as if to comfort his queen. But where Omybella couldn't see, the future giant king still showed a trace of barely perceptible worry.

How powerful are the old survivors who survived the catastrophe? Perhaps no other extraordinary creature in the world knows better than him.

After all, His parents were remnants of the Old Ones.

. . .

Ten days later, a long line of humans arrived near the Observation Tower. They were escorted by several vampire marquises from the vampire territory.

Standing in front of the human team, Ornia looked up at the towering tower, with a look of daze. He whispered, "Is this the tower that the ancestors took seriously? Such a magnificent building can be called a miracle, right?"

Not only was Ornia dazed when she saw the tall tower, but several other blood clan marquises who possessed the status of saints were also in a state of disquiet.

They are all among the very few vampires who know the meaning of Lilith's orders. No vampire can help but be in awe of the "God" who can build such a magnificent building overnight.

Ornia looked at the middle-aged man with demigod status who was leading the humans and said, "From now on, you will belong to the owner of this tower. According to the ancestor, the owner of this tower is also a human."

The middle-aged leader, wearing animal skins and looking a little panicked, looked at the tall tower, then looked at Ornia, and nodded as if he was at a loss.

After the confirmation of this middle-aged man with demigod status, Ornia and several other vampire marquises immediately transformed into countless bats, entered the spirit world, and teleported towards the vampire castle.

A boy of about seven years old walked up to the middle-aged man, tugged at his animal-skin clothes, and asked in a low voice, "Dad, have we been abandoned by the vampires?"

Hearing his son say this, the middle-aged man was speechless. Although he was the leader of this human tribe, he did not get the position through competition. Instead, he was randomly appointed by a vampire marquis after the previous leader died. He himself was not good at management.

But there was no way out. Among all the humans living in the vampire territory, he was the only one who possessed the status of a demigod.

He didn't want to be the leader, but he had no choice.

However, demigods are extremely common in this crazy era. For the current vampires, as long as they are adults, they will have such status and power.

Therefore, even though he has the status of a demigod, in this era, it is still relatively difficult for him to obtain certain information from the somewhat scattered vampire community.

Why humans were "expelled" from the vampires' territory and why they were sent to the foot of this tower were all unknown to him.

Just as he was looking at the more than 9,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people behind him, at a loss and filled with despair, a ray of light with a sacred aura fell from the top of the tower and shone on everyone.

The young child opened his arms and looked comfortable, shouting, "Dad, this light is so warm and comfortable. The screams in my head seemed to have stopped and were no longer making noise."

However, when the young child looked back and saw his father, the look on his weathered face showed not comfort but pain.

But he covered his mouth tightly with his hands, endured the pain all over his body, and did not utter a painful cry.

At this moment, drops of turbid, colorful liquid began to flow from the bodies of more than 9,000 humans, dripping onto the ground and condensing into crystals of different colors. This was the extraordinary characteristics that remained in these humans, as well as the pollution they had suffered from the vampires.

In just a moment, the extraordinary characteristics in all the humans under the tower were forced to be released by this sacred light, and were refined into regular cube-shaped extraordinary characteristics, which flew to the top of the tower.

The sage of humanity was looking down at these people from the observatory, collecting nearly 30,000 pieces of low- to medium-sequence extraordinary characteristics, as well as one piece of sequence 4 extraordinary characteristics.

He did not stand up, but whispered, "Observe the stars, and arrange for the humans born in this era, and guide them to create their own civilization."

Silver starlight flashed behind the sage, condensing into a phantom that seemed like a real entity.

"Yes, my master."
