Chapter 173 Shocking Secret
Chu Yi took out a notebook that was so old that it was almost unreadable, and with a dull look in his eyes, he completed the last horizontal stroke of the character "正" on it.
In order to remember how many years had passed since he came to the Dream of the Past, Chu Yi would write a correct answer in his notebook every once in a while.
At first I painted one picture every day, but later I found that time passed too quickly, and it was too tedious to paint one picture every day, and it was hard to count, so I changed it to one picture every month.
After a careful look, he found that there were already seven or eight hundred correct characters in the notebook, which meant that he had been fighting here for a full three hundred years, or was it four hundred years?
Chu Yi was too lazy to calculate how long it would take. Who cares? After calculating it clearly, would Olynyk still let him go?
But after so much time has passed, that guy must be on the verge of collapse. I don't know how long this confrontation can last.
The interesting thing is that at this point Chu Yi doesn't even want to see Olynyk admit defeat now.
Because he was about to complete the Dream of the Old Days, he had cleared more than 99% of the Earth's land, leaving only a few scattered areas, which would take no long to complete.
I don’t know when it started, but the system no longer gives him attribute points when he kills monsters.
It seems that the kill limit has been triggered. If you want to gain new attribute points, you have to kill enemies that are more powerful than these beasts.
However, the strength of these strange beasts on Earth is quite average, neither weak nor strong.
It was not difficult to deal with, but when there were no rewards after killing them later, Chu Yi's boredom level suddenly began to rise sharply.
Hopefully, the ending to Dreams of the Past was enough, or else all his efforts over the past few hundred years would have been in vain.
To be honest, Chu Yi didn't know how he had managed to survive all these years.
The people in this world basically don't talk to him. They will only come to communicate with him after they have cleared out the strange beasts in an area, and they will still tell him to move on to the next area.
It's just like an NPC that issues quests.
Chu Yi is like an orphan forgotten by the world, silently tidying up the world.
Chu Yi only felt a little comfort when he occasionally saw reports about mysterious heroes on TV.
He knew that the mysterious hero was talking about himself. The Earth, which was about to end the world, was gradually cleared of almost all the alien beasts with the help of the mysterious hero.
The earth is about to return to peace and stability, and his efforts are not in vain.
"Does it really make sense?"
A magnificent voice suddenly sounded in Chu Yi's mind. If it was a few hundred years ago, he would definitely jump up in surprise and ask who you are.
However, after being tempered in this perverted environment for hundreds of years, Chu Yi had long since become indifferent to everything.
"You finally came out." Chu Yi took a deep breath and lay down on the ground tiredly.
"Do you know I exist?" the mysterious man asked curiously.
“I don’t know, but this thing has stayed in my mind for so long, there must be some kind of power at work.
Perhaps this power has its own consciousness, and it will definitely appear when I clear this dream. I think so."
Chu Yi had a smile on his face: "It turns out that I guessed right."
"You are luckier than I thought. According to your normal growth rate, it will take you at least 20 years to discover the secret of the old dream."
The mysterious man's voice moved from Chu Yi's mind to his eyes. Chu Yi immediately opened his eyes and saw a familiar figure that looked like an octopus.
"Pachlena, I knew you were not dead." Chu Yi sat up and looked into the octopus' eyes, but he was not nervous at all.
Although Pachlena is very good at parasitism, infection and possession, it couldn't do anything to me in its heyday, so it is even less likely to threaten me now.
"Pachlena died a long time ago. I am just a remnant of him."
The octopus' tentacles swayed gently in the air, and it said leisurely: "Pachleina devoured countless souls during his lifetime. I was one of them, but I was very lucky to be the last surviving soul.
I used the last bit of my strength to infect the twenty young people in the secret realm at that time, hoping to find a way to save the earth from them. "
Chu Yi was puzzled: "Logically speaking, the people I rescued at that time should have better talents than the ones you chose. Why was I the only one who got hit?"
Octopus chuckled, “At the time, they were protected by several supreme beast masters, and my power could not penetrate them at all.
Your golden hoop had little energy left after purifying the Flower-Fruit Mountain. It was at its weakest point, so it was effortless for it to infect you. The same goes for the other people."
"You have found an opportunity." Chu Yi laughed, "You just said that you infected us in order to find someone to save the earth. What does that mean?"
"The Earth is about to face a devastating disaster." The Octopus' tone became extremely serious.
Chu Yi smiled and said, "I know that the group of people from the Destruction Society must have colluded with other worlds or alien forces. Their purpose is also very clear, which is to make room for the invaders and mess up the earth before they arrive."
The octopus showed a look of approval: "It seems that you are smarter than I thought."
Chu Yi knocked his forehead and said, "Nonsense, I haven't just been killing monsters for the past few hundred years. If I use my brain every day, I will be able to figure out some things."
"That's right. The power of the Destruction Society comes from an alien civilization called the Sin Domain. They are colluding with each other in order to destroy the living forces on Earth."
The octopus slowly landed on the ground, and its two tentacles drew a circle in front of Chu Yi. Some images began to emerge in the circle, and it began to explain.
"In fact, the Sin Realm is not the first alien civilization to invade the Earth. As early as three eras ago, the ancient gods dropped a seed on the Earth."
Following the voice of the octopus, Chu Yi gradually saw the truth behind it all.
Three eras, which is about hundreds of thousands of years ago.
The technology on Earth at that time was quite advanced, not inferior to what it is now.
Originally everyone thought that this prosperous environment would continue until humans stepped into space and headed towards the deep and vast sea of stars.
However, before humans could step towards the starry sky, the starry sky showed its fangs to humans.
The seeds dropped by the ancient gods landed on Earth after flying for who knows how many light years.
This is a powerful group, and all adult individuals will periodically launch seeds carrying the ancient god's genes into the depths of the universe. Some seeds will be destroyed by other powerful civilizations encountered along the way, while others will be swallowed by black holes.
But some who are luckier can land on planets full of vitality.
Once these young seeds enter the right environment, they will immediately begin to dormant and accumulate energy.
Once the time is ripe, they will begin to infect the world they are in, with the ultimate goal of transforming all living things in this world into ancient gods.
It was just like the tragedy that happened on the Flower-Fruit Mountain before, and those deformed monkeys were not the final form. The real final form was that all of them, regardless of their race, turned into octopuses.
Unfortunately, the Earth was targeted by the ancient gods and became their desired cradle for nurturing newborns.
The ancient gods tempted humans to bring them into society in the name of helping humans realize their wishes, making it easier for them to corrupt the entire human world.
Unfortunately, humans failed to suppress their desires. Even though they knew that the ancient gods were extremely dangerous, they eventually accepted their power and watched these alien races destroy the human world.
Fortunately, human vitality and error-correcting abilities are far more tenacious than these ancient gods imagined.
When they were about to be destroyed, all the top powerful people burst out with amazing potential, and organized an army to eliminate the ancient gods and all infected humans through self-cleansing.
Unfortunately, some particularly powerful gods among the ancient gods, such as Pachlena, some fled to outer space, and some lurked on Mars.
They were waiting for the day to return to Earth, and Pachlena's revival sent a signal to these ancient gods that the Earth was full of life again and it was time to come back.
After most of the ancient gods on Earth were destroyed, the remaining humans used the genes that were preserved in advance to recreate humans, and left behind a technology tree that allowed civilization to revive. As long as humans are given more time, everything will return to normal.
This is the story of the Age of Terror.
At this point, Chu Yi only understood the origin of the ancient god, but there was still no explanation for the matter of the Sin Realm, so he cast an inquiring look at the octopus.
"Don't worry, this is just a story from three eras ago, and the era after the Terror, Eve, is the most important."
The octopus waved its tentacles, and the second scene began to emerge in the circle.
Similar to the previous scenario, humans have regained their former prosperity through the technology left by their predecessors.
And with the lessons learned from the past, humans have become more cautious about these forces that are clearly beyond their cognition.
However, disasters always like to find humans.
There was once again an uninvited guest in the sky. This time, it was not an ancient god, but an alien monster called a star beast.
At this time, Chu Yi suddenly discovered that the star beasts that appeared in the circle were exactly the strange beasts he had killed in the past few hundred years.
They came to Earth to look for something, but they couldn't find it after digging deep into the ground, so they thought that humans had hidden it.
The war broke out again, and this time mankind was once again on the brink of destruction. Ninety percent of the countries on the earth were destroyed by these star beasts. The remaining countries were shrunk into a narrow area, relying on grouping together to temporarily maintain their survival.
Therefore, most of the cities and people in them that Chu Yi saw in this world had actually been destroyed by those star beasts long ago.
There was no so-called savior in that dark age, and even the surviving humans believed that destruction was inevitable sooner or later.
However, the god of luck came again, and the star beast that was originally ravaging the earth suddenly left the earth somehow.
Those who did not have time to leave have also perfectly integrated into the Earth's environment. Most of them have become docile and peaceful, and will not easily attack humans as long as humans do not provoke them.
This war also permanently changed the earth's environment, making the world filled with a substance called superpowers.
This is the origin of superpowers and pets. The subsequent Golden Age is also called the Mythological Age, which is basically the story of the complete earthing of star beasts and the second revival of mankind.
Hearing this, Chu Yi fell into silence.
He had never imagined that mankind's ancestors had experienced so many disasters and were on the verge of extinction twice, but had ultimately survived.
But why is the Earth so attractive to these alien creatures? What is hidden on Earth?
"The Earth must have some secret treasure that these alien civilizations are eager to find, which is why it attracts them to come here again and again."
Octopus chuckled and continued in a deep voice: "In the last era, humans transitioned from mythology to the modern era without incident, and technology continued to prosper.
However, the third alien civilization, the Sin Domain, finally arrived.
They knew about the existence of the ancient gods and star beasts, and as soon as they arrived, they began to understand the impact of the first two populations on the earth.
The children I infected before were all corroded by the power of sin, and most of them died in the same way as the Seven Sins. One of them embraced the realm of sin and used the power of sin to remove the old power from his body.
The other one is to achieve a balance between the two forces within his body and successfully control them. "
Chu Yi laughed: "The one who embraced the Sin Domain is Krosov, the other one should be me, right?"
"Yes, both of you can be considered heroes who have passed my test and have the potential to save the earth."
Octopus nodded and sighed softly: "But from the current point of view, Krosov does not have this heart, so the real hero can only be you."
"So the enemy of Earth this time is the Sin Domain?" Chu Yi frowned slightly. "Logically speaking, after experiencing a whole era of peaceful development, Earth's current strength should be stronger than the previous two eras. The chances of winning against the Sin Domain are relatively high, unless the Sin Domain is stronger than the previous two groups?"
"That's not the case." Octopus shook his head, "But Earth's enemies this time are not just the Sin Domain, there are also the Ancient Gods and Star Beasts."
"How could this happen?" Chu Yi thought to himself that this was not good.
“As I said earlier, most of the gods of the ancient race have fled, and quite a few are hiding on other planets in the solar system.
Pachlena's revival also awakened them, and they returned to Earth only in recent years.
I had sensed the return of the Star Beasts when I was still in Pachlena's body. They will probably return with the Ancient Gods, and at this time the Earth will probably be fighting fiercely with the Sin Domain."
"In other words, the Earth will become a battlefield, facing attacks from three civilizations at the same time?"
Chu Yi's tense body relaxed. He looked up at the starry sky and suddenly felt a little confused.
