Volume 11: The First Law Chapter 15: Hope in You
Qin Yitian was stunned for a moment, his expression was somewhat complicated. After pondering for a moment, he said to Lu Qingshan: "The first method does exist , but now no one knows what it is, and no one has mastered it."
"No one knows what kind of law it is, so how can we say that the first law really exists?" There was an obvious contradiction in Qin Yitian's explanation, so Lu Qingshan frowned and asked.
"This is not what I said, but it is passed down," Qin Yitian explained: "In the secret history of our nine great countries, there is an extremely secret record about the first law."
"Hmm?" Lu Qingshan raised his eyebrows.
Qin Yitian narrated, "In fact, the resurrection of the White Walkers is not the first time, but there are precedents."
This is exactly the same as the battle between Taoism and demons in Cangqiongtian... Lu Qingshan thought.
"In ancient times, long ago, the White Walkers appeared. That time, they also came out of the snowfields of the North and invaded the human world.
But that time, the White Walkers came too suddenly, and the human race at that time did not realize how terrifying the White Walkers were, nor did they realize the principle of "the lips and teeth are cold".
Therefore, at the beginning, all the countries just sat back and watched the White Walkers destroy one country after another.
By the time they reacted, most of the territory of Daoyuan Realm had fallen into the hands of the White Walkers.
The power of the White Walkers is already there, just like a snowball that keeps getting bigger and bigger, forming an avalanche that will be unstoppable.
At that time, the remaining humans in the Daoyuan Realm were unable to organize enough forces to fight against the White Walkers.
The Daoyuan Realm is almost falling and becoming a paradise for the White Walkers."
"Under that situation, there is almost no chance for the human race to turn the tables."
Lu Qingshan remained silent, waiting for a turning point.
"But, a miracle happened." Qin Yitian's eyes were deep, as if he was dreaming back to ancient times.
"Just when the Daoyuan Realm was about to collapse, a hermit named Zuoshanke came out. When countless aliens came and attacked the last line of defense of the human race, Zuoshanke performed magic on the city wall."
"No one knows what magic the hermit used at the time, and what effect it had. The magic he used did not produce any so-called strange visions, brilliance, or even sounds. It was so calm that people doubted whether the hermit really took action. But after he finished performing those magics, the flood of White Walkers disappeared out of thin air, as if they had never appeared."
"Unfortunately, after the Hermit performed that magic, he died together with the White Walkers. His vitality completely dissipated, and he passed away on the city wall."
"Obviously, the price of that method is his life."
"To cast a spell that can kill hundreds of thousands of White Walkers, it is only natural to pay a huge price, not to mention that it is just the life of the caster."
“That’s not surprising.”
"However, since the hermit passed away after performing that magic, the name and effect of that magic have become an unsolved mystery."
"But the power of that Dao Fa is obvious to all. It is definitely the most powerful Dao Fa in the history of Dao Yuan Realm."
“Therefore, it is the first law.”
If what Qin Yitian said really happened, then this first method is indeed worthy of its reputation...
"Did the White Walkers disappear out of thin air?" Lu Qingshan asked with his eyes flickering.
"Yes, it disappeared out of thin air without even leaving any ashes, as if the White Walkers before were just illusions." Qin Yitian nodded solemnly and confirmed.
Hearing this, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but feel shocked.
Not to mention in the Daoyuan Realm, even in the Cangqiong Realm where he belonged, there was no magic that could make hundreds of thousands of White Walkers disappear out of thin air.
——If the monk is strong enough, it is possible to kill hundreds of thousands of White Walkers with one spell.
But it should be clear that there is a huge difference between massacre and destruction and elimination out of thin air.
If the former is a great power, then the latter is a miracle.
Such a miracle appeared in the Daoyuan Realm, a realm far lower than that of Cangqiongtian?
It was really hard for Lu Qingshan to imagine.
What kind of Taoism is this so-called first Taoism?
Lu Qingshan didn't know and had no idea.
But he was sure that the first method was definitely not a powerful force that could wipe out all living beings, but rather an extremely special effect.
Just like a bird can cause a plane to crash, it’s not because the bird is strong, but because the plane is too fast.
While Lu Qingshan was lost in thought, Qin Yitian shook his head and said, "Although the threat of the White Walkers has been resolved by the first spell, no one knows whether the White Walkers will revive and come back again."
"So, after the war, when the countries re-divided the borders of Daoyuan Realm, they reached a consensus that the nine most powerful countries would all be concentrated in the north, so that if the White Walkers really come back in the future, they can organize enough forces to deal with them in the first place."
"No wonder." Lu Qingshan murmured.
The Daoyuan Realm is divided into four regions: east, south, west and north. However, the nine most powerful countries are all located in the cold north. This is an extremely unreasonable thing no matter how you look at it.
When Lu Qingshan learned about this situation, he guessed that there must be some hidden story behind it, but he didn't expect this to be the reason.
"Facts have proved that the worries of our ancestors were not groundless. The White Walkers really resurrected after ten thousand years." Qin Yitian sighed.
"With the previous experience in front of us, we naturally dare not be careless at all. We immediately formed the Northern Alliance to fight against the White Walkers."
"But no one knows how long this White Walker resurrection will last..." Qin Yitian paused, looked up at Lu Qingshan's eyes, and said sincerely: "Although we can rely on the city walls to fight against the White Walkers, the ice crystal armor worn by the White Walkers is too hard. It is basically impossible to kill a White Walker with arrows. So if we want to kill the White Walkers, most of the time, our soldiers must go out of the city to fight."
"Do you know how many soldiers we need to lose on average to kill a White Walker?" Qin Yitian asked.
Lu Qingshan's eyes flashed, and he replied, "About twenty people."
After having a general understanding of the martial arts level of this world, with Lu Qingshan's strength and vision far beyond this world, it was not difficult for him to make such a judgment from a high-level perspective.
"How did you know that..." Qin Yitian was slightly surprised, then said bitterly: "Yes, it is exactly twenty. The casualty ratio is as high as one to twenty. The strength of the White Walkers is too strong... or the weapons and armor of the White Walkers are too powerful."
"Not only are they powerful, but their ice armor and swords are also filled with extremely cold air. Once we touch them, we will be frozen and unable to use them at all. So even if we kill the White Walkers and seize their weapons and armor, we can only put them aside as decoration."
"The Northern Alliance has already made an estimate. If the White Walkers' resurrection this time is of the same scale as the previous one... even if we are well prepared, with the current casualties, we can only delay the White Walkers for a few more decades . In the end, we still cannot defeat the White Walkers, and the Daoyuan Realm will eventually fall."
"So, in the eyes of the nations, it seems that all we can do is hope that the scale of the White Walker resurrection this time is smaller than the last time, or hope that there are still people in the world who master the first law."
"This is just sitting there and waiting for death," Lu Qingshan shook his head and said coldly, "It's not reliable to pin your hopes on these illusory things that you can't control."
This is equivalent to leaving your life to God.
This is not in his character.
A sword cultivator never sits still and waits for death.
"Yes, I also think this is unreliable." Qin Yitian nodded in agreement.
Then, she looked at Lu Qingshan with sparkling eyes and said softly, "So, I am placing my hopes on you now."
