Chapter 562: Soul Wilderness
"What a... mess."
Lucelia said helplessly.
She possessed six treasures, and the combination of the six treasures gave her the right to control part of the world's reincarnation mechanism.
Whether it was the Four Gods, the world, or the lives that longed for reincarnation, they all couldn't wait for her to start working.
She did start working, patching up the world and making the order of the world a little more stable.
There is no other way. Only she can repair the reincarnation now. After the repair, the order created in the world will be able to further overwhelm the chaos.
But when she came here.
Only then did I realize how big a problem there is with this world’s reincarnation mechanism.
She was in the palace in the center of the world's Styx.
In a dark and cold world.
There are wandering souls everywhere.
The River Styx dried up, from a huge river as big as the ocean to a small stream.
It is filled with departed souls.
There is no channel, and there is no guide to lead the ignorant souls and guide them on their journey.
They can only cross the endless wilderness and the dry river surface, enter the area where the River Styx flows, wade into the river, and undergo reincarnation.
The efficiency of the entire cycle is extremely low.
This is also the reason why the world’s population will never increase.
This is what they learned from the records in the Great Library.
In the Golden Age, the population was nearly infinite.
According to scholars, they only counted a large area connected to about eight gods.
In that concentrated area alone, the population of intelligent life is as high as tens of billions.
The world is infinitely huge.
Now that it has been broken up, not only has the population decreased dramatically, but there is not much land left for survival.
The souls who have passed away naturally gather in this area on a large scale, and slowly reincarnate as time goes by.
Lucilia stood in the dilapidated Soul Palace.
Look at the records from the world's instincts stored in this Soul Palace.
"After the world is repaired, the world's population is about 5.6 billion. Ah, there are still so many?"
Lucelia couldn't even imagine how large the population was before the world was broken.
You have to know that the number of ordinary mortals who can survive in this world can be described as only one in ten or even one in a hundred.
And repair is also a very long process.
In the process, it is amazing that these people live on fragments of a world that is completely chaotic and broken.
Even in this situation, when the final fragments were put together, there were still more than five billion people.
Lucelia simply couldn't imagine it.
I can only continue to look at the records.
From this record, Lucelia got a glimpse of the past.
She could guarantee that there were definitely more than just the four gods repairing the world at that time.
According to the records, there were at least seven or eight of them.
Just as she was staring in fascination, a female soul appeared behind her.
"Hello."
"ah!"
Lucilia was startled and her figure immediately disappeared from the spot. Then she looked at the woman who appeared at the spot she had just left, wearing a black cloak and holding a huge sickle.
A soul.
Her soul was covered with cracks, which even spread to her face, giving her originally beautiful face a strange beauty.
She just smiled and looked at Lucelia.
"Hello."
"Who are you? Why are you here? Shouldn't this place be empty? And ordinary souls are not allowed to come in."
Hearing Lucilia's question, she just smiled and said, "My name is Menasha."
"Menasha? I've heard of this name. Let me think about it..."
Lucelia began to quickly mobilize her memories, and then she finally figured it out.
"Are you the Soul Guardian Girl from the Golden Age?"
What she is doing is probably the same as Lucelia is doing now, which is in the second half of the soul process.
He is a natural born god.
"But aren't you dead?"
According to the records of the Great Library, this Soul Guardian Girl is the main target of those who intend to destroy the world.
Even under the protection of the Virgin Mary and others, he was still assassinated.
The god who assassinated her was the one who had often assassinated Alka in the memory battlefield before.
"Yes, that's right, but my mother loved me so much that even after I died, she still put my fragments together and kept them in this Soul Palace. She became a lonely recorder, and she wanted me to record her death."
The girl said quietly.
Lucelia gradually let down her overly vigilant state, maintained normal vigilance, and began to communicate with her.
Simply put, this girl was one of the earliest victims in the war of gods.
But the world at that time put her together again, because all her powers were taken away and destroyed.
Either she is resurrected as an ordinary person, or she stays here. In that era, resurrecting as an ordinary person would only lead to death.
So she became a recorder in the Soul Palace and lived with the world.
She also finally fulfilled her responsibility and recorded the death of the world.
However, the Virgin Mary and others pieced the world together, and she was also pieced together.
In this situation, Lucilia asked the gods and found out that it was indeed the case.
Confirmed the girl's identity and her harmlessness.
"I know people out there are trying to fix Mother. Is there anything I can do to help you?"
Lucilia nodded: "I'm going to repair the reincarnation mechanism, do you have any ideas?"
"Of course, no problem, I have clear records here."
She took out a small notebook, but in essence it contained infinite records.
The record records everything from her death to the shattering of the world, and from the piecing together of the world to the present.
This is not a simple record, but if Lucelia wants, it is as if the knowledge and the situation at that time come to mind.
This is some kind of record based on memory.
"Indeed, you have been of great help." Lucelia thanked.
"I am very happy to be able to help you. It is like helping my mother. She is in pain. You are alleviating her pain."
As she spoke, a notebook reappeared in her hand.
“Perhaps the record of my mother’s rebirth can continue to be written.”
Lucelia also looked at the records above.
The above record starts from when the world was pieced together.
It documents some of the processes of repairing the world after splicing it together from the World Cup.
But it ends at the point where the world's consciousness desires death because of the pain.
Seeing this, Lucilia nodded: "Yes, you can start recording. I can help you observe the situation in the real world.
That way you can record more.”
"Really? Thank you."
With the help of this girl, Lucilia's work progress began to move forward rapidly.
In addition to the group of souls and puppet girls she brought with her, she also selected some powerful souls in this densely populated soul wilderness and made them staff members.
If you ever wanted to become a member working on the Styx, you would need to put in a lot of effort and you would have to be a believer.
But now that everything is in ruins and we want to keep things simple, there are naturally not so many rules.
Under the operation of the two, one ship after another was built. They started at the source of the Styx, where the ferryman began to pick up souls on the other side.
They transport you from the other side to the wilderness of the soul.
Then Lucilia began to divert the River Styx. After all, the current River Styx was too small, and it flowed everywhere in twists and turns.
The remaining river water gathered together and finally formed a big river.
Finally, there is some river water.
More soul craftsmen began to build some necessary functional buildings.
Some powerful souls began to go to the real world to take away the dead souls.
Banish the evil creatures that seek to devour your soul.
Kill those evil lives that violate the intentions of the dead and transform souls.
The order of reincarnation between life and death began to be repaired.
Of course, this is a very long process that requires gradual progress, but with every step forward we can see that the world has become a better place.
…
"Damn it! Damn it! Why is Chaos suppressed again? Our strength has weakened again, and the progress of the attack has been tightly suppressed during this period of time."
A powerful, gigantic demon roared in the lava hall.
Now several months have passed since Alka and his men arrived at the front line.
Although Alka and his companions, these powerful men joined the battle on the front line.
The arrival of eight top-notch warriors at once, each with their own unique expertise, greatly reduced the pressure on the front line.
Finally, many people were able to take a breath, but for the demons, it actually had little impact and only caused them a little trouble.
It just caused them to lose more.
But for these demons, they are not afraid of these losses at all, because countless demons will immediately fill these vacancies.
But since Alka appeared, Chaos has been suppressed more and more seriously.
Their strength began to be suppressed gradually.
If they continue to be suppressed like this, wouldn't all their efforts over the years be in vain?
What is more terrifying is not the death of the demon.
But after many demons killed humans, their harvest of souls decreased.
Because this world is damaged, many demons in the past were not in a hurry to harvest the souls of humans immediately after killing them.
Instead, they wait until the battle or the surrounding fighting is over before slowly collecting the souls from the bodies of the humans they have killed.
This is a rare delicacy for demons.
But now I don't know why.
These souls disappeared after a while after the humans were killed.
In the fierce battle, there are not so many situations where demons can absorb souls quickly.
This caused many brave and fearless demons to become lazy.
There are so many demons who are not afraid of death and come here because the souls here are the easiest to harvest.
The quality is not bad and almost every harvest can be harvested in full.
But now it is not only difficult to harvest, but sometimes the harvest is incomplete.
This is in stark contrast to previous gains, but the problem is that the difficulty of the battle has not decreased but has increased instead.
How could the devil bear this?
If that's the case, then why do they have to invade the world in this damn place?
Further intensifying the fighting and chaos among the demons.
"That Alka must have done something again. Nothing good has happened since he came to the front, has it?"
Not only that, even the inexplicable strength of humans has become stronger.
If Alka were here, he would definitely cry out that he was innocent.
What do these things have to do with him?
"Think of a way to kill him." Salunster said as he sat on the throne.
Hearing this, a demon below said bluntly: "It's easy for you to say, why don't you go and kill him?"
This demon looked somewhat miserable.
Not only was one of the horns on his forehead missing, but one of his arms was also missing.
The one who caused him such losses was none other than Alka.
Logically speaking, with his physical strength and recovery ability, he should have recovered from such injuries long ago. After all, he is a demon lord.
But the problem is that he just didn't recover.
Because he could feel that his head and arms were still there, but they were not on his body.
This feeling is very strange.
“This damn human must have a powerful sealing ability, he must have sealed it by cutting off my hand.
I watched him put my hand in with my own eyes using a mirror, and my hand hasn't grown out yet, but I can still feel it, can you understand?"
He was not just speaking to Salente, he was speaking to others as well.
After all, Alka had spoken so arrogantly before.
And in every battle thereafter he stood in the same position waiting for those demons to kill him.
This situation naturally made these demon lords very unhappy.
And he was the first one to deal with Alka.
The battle was fierce.
But he initially thought that it was impossible for him to die at Alka's hands, and at most he could not kill Alka.
But I didn't expect the consequences to be so tragic .
He directly lost a head and an arm.
This was an extremely exaggerated loss for a powerful demon like him who was adept at close combat.
It also made the other demons somewhat reluctant to face Alka.
You won’t die, but if he seals certain parts of you, it will be painful.
Demons are the least skilled creatures at sealing, and are also the easiest to be sealed. It seems that they are naturally restrained by the various seals of each world, and the seals of each world have their own unique features, making it almost impossible for demons to deal with them.
Of course, they are also very good at breaking seals. If any demon lord has never been sealed, he is not worthy of being a demon lord.
"Then why not lure him out and attack him together?"
The armored and noble-looking demon suggested.
It was the demon that had only arrived in the past year or two, Farol.
"Haha, no one is stupid." The Devouring Mouth looked at him and said directly.
"Of course I know that no one is stupid, so I have to think of a comprehensive solution, right? Of course, stupid people can't think of it.
Cowards are even worse.”
"Tell me." Salenst said to Farol while sitting on the throne.
See what he thinks.
Ever since this Farol came here, he has been paying close attention to Alka.
This Farol proposed at this time, obviously he had decided to intervene in this world and wanted to share some of the credit.
"Why not let the Devouring Mouth be the bait? He is the most suitable one."
Farol said without hesitation.
"You fart!" The Devouring Mouth cursed directly at the side.
This is clearly asking for one's own death.
They still haven't figured out Alka's abilities. The Devouring Mouth doesn't think it can handle that kind of powerful sealing ability.
If these damn guys got the credit for completing the mission, then he would lose it. How could he agree to this?
He didn't think that when he was sealed, his colleagues would leave a copy for him.
Although these demons agreed with this proposal very much, it was obvious that they did not have the ability or qualifications to force the Devouring Mouth.
After all, as long as he doesn't want to be a bait, there's no point in killing him.
"What if... I can allow you to fully exert your strength, or even take your strength to a higher level? Would you be willing?"
"You have the Abyss Core?" The Devouring Mouth said with narrowed eyes.
"Uh-huh, that's right."
"You're willing to give me such a valuable thing? Just to use me as bait?"
The Devouring Mouth stared at Law Farol in disbelief and said.
The demons present had no doubt that this Farol could produce the Abyss Core. His strength and status allowed him to possess such an extremely precious item.
But what’s interesting is that this thing is so precious that it’s not worth using as bait for others.
After all, this plan may not succeed.
"What are you thinking? Of course there are limitations. I can give it to you, but I will set a precise contract. Just like the devil's contract, you can only use it when you are about to die and we have lured him.
Make sure the plan works, and make sure you don't run away with my stuff."
"Is there anything in this world that is worth your efforts?" Salunster suddenly asked while sitting on the throne.
"Haha, what if I say that this is the mission bestowed upon me by the abyss?"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the demons suddenly understood.
I see.
That makes sense.
The reason why this demon is nobler than them is because of his bloodline and abilities, which allow him to connect directly with the abyss.
The abyss prefers to entrust some important things to them.
Once they complete the tasks given by the abyss, the rewards they receive will be much greater than those of these demons.
So most demons are envious and jealous.
If it is just for completing a task like this, it's okay to use the Abyss Core.
