Chapter 881 All Spirits Return to the Origin (Part 9)
Click, click...
The sound gradually grew louder, like a wooden bridge bearing a weight far exceeding its capacity, and a clear cracking sound of wood breaking appeared.
Tantai Xunzhen fixed his gaze and finally identified the source of the sound.
The sound came from the wooden door in front of her.
Click!
The deep red wooden door suddenly trembled, and a crack suddenly appeared.
Wow!
Before Tantai Xunzhen could react, the tightly closed door of the private room suddenly burst open as if it could not withstand the external pressure, and countless dark figures rushed in like a landslide.
Those were corpses.
Countless corpses filled the corridor outside the private room, piling up like a mountain in just a moment.
The entire private room was transformed into a sea of corpses.
None of the corpses had eyes; beneath their eye sockets were two deep, dark voids.
scoff!
A dark, blood-stained, earthworm-like worm crawled out of its eye socket, like a fish surfacing, and opened a yellow eye the size of a finger, looking at Tantai Xunzhen, who was submerged in the center by the horde of corpses.
"what!!!!!"
Tantai Xunzhen closed her eyes and screamed in terror. How she wished it was all a dream, and that when she opened her eyes, everything would disappear.
laugh!
Tsk! !
Tsk tsk tsk! ! !
The sounds kept coming into Tantai Xunzhen's ears.
One worm after another emerged, and countless eyes were staring at her at the same time.
Tantai Xunzhen secretly peeked out from under one eye.
Swish!
Instantly, all eyes turned to her.
The emotions conveyed in that gaze were extremely pure: unfamiliarity, curiosity, and a restless desire to try.
It was sticky, a little prickly, and covered in a nauseating, foul-smelling slime that seeped from the insect.
A single insect can only secrete a tiny amount of mucus. But countless insects combined can form a small river.
The gaps between the corpses were filled, and the corpses were fixed together layer by layer, one above the other and one to the left and right. All the corpses were looking up at the sky with empty eyes, like a slowly forming nest.
Tantai Xunzhen finally understood.
Where did the viscous liquid in her hand come from at the beginning...?
Unable to resist, unable to resist.
She could only close her eyes and wait for death.
"see it?"
A deep voice suddenly rang in Tantai Xunzhen's mind.
She opened her eyes, confused.
She seemed to be standing in a very high position, from which she could see the entire city in a panoramic view.
Despite some minor discrepancies, Tantai Xunzhen still managed to determine his location from some iconic buildings.
Mingdu.
“How… how could this be…” Tantai Xunzhen stared wide-eyed in disbelief, looking at it again and again.
Looking up, all I could see was darkness.
The sun was shrouded in a huge black shadow.
The air was thick with foul-smelling ash, and the once-prosperous capital was engulfed in black flames, with thick smoke billowing into the sky.
Blood rain began to fall from the sky.
The ground was covered in a viscous liquid.
red liquid.
Wave after wave of crimson waves, like a vast ocean, surged forth with unstoppable force, rushing down the streets and into the alleys, engulfing everything in their path.
Endless wails, endless corpses.
Everywhere you look.
There is only one color.
color.
The surrounding area was filled with dilapidated buildings, mutilated bodies and organs, and rotting corpses and blood clots; there was no living creature in sight.
Waves of surging blood pushed heads to one spot.
That was the only place in the city where blood hadn't flooded the area.
Countless grotesque and terrifying heads were piled together, forming a huge and bizarre structure resembling a pyramid.
At the top of the pyramid, a pair of pale eyes stared intently at Tantai Xunzhen.
"That...that is..." Tantai Xunzhen's body trembled violently, swaying precariously. "No...it's impossible..."
Those eyes, that face, were clearly those of her elder brother, Tantai Sheng.
"Did you see that?" The deep voice rang out again.
Tantai Xunzhen turned around.
I happened to make eye contact with one of their eyes.
It was a purple eye as large as the sun, moon, and stars.
In his eyes, where the pupils and whites were entirely purple, ripples of black light rippled, forming a rotating ellipse.
"I…..."
Tantai Xunzhen was completely stunned, her mind completely occupied by those purple eyes.
A continuous stream of profound and vast energy flowed through her, causing the spiritual jade within her body to grow brighter and more active, as a massive flow of information surged into her mind. "Twenty years from now... Mingdu?"
In an instant, Tantai Xunzhen learned of his situation from the flood of information.
"All passages are open... The supreme demon descends... Defeated and fleeing... The Trinity... Annihilation?!" Countless pieces of information about the possible future were crammed into Tantai Xunzhen's mind.
Her forehead was burning hot, and her whole body felt like it was being roasted on fire. It was so hot that she felt like she could explode at any moment.
"Did you see that?" A deep, powerful male voice rang out, like pouring a bowl of ice into boiling water.
Instantly, Tantai Xunzhen cooled down from a boiling, potentially flammable state.
She opened her eyes weakly, her body swaying slightly. The street was still bustling with activity, and before her was the same private room, with the Demon Lord Lingmiao still sitting in front of her. The maid in the room was still mechanically repeating the actions she was performing, her face expressionless.
“You…you should have seen it.” Lingmiao asked with a smile, her tone declarative. “Tell me, what future did you see?”
"..."
Tantai Xunzhen fell silent; she now knew everything.
What I just saw was Mingdu twenty years from now, and also twenty years into the future.
The future of the Tantai family, the global landscape twenty years from now, and the destiny of humanity...
"Don't want to say?" Ling Miao's smile widened. "Actually, even if you don't say it... I know we won. Right?"
Tantai Xunzhen remained silent.
The immense energy that Lingmiao poured into the Lingji Jade in an instant allowed her to see many, many things.
In an instant, she learned the detailed origins and details of many things she had never considered before.
The Demon Clan's scheme began during Emperor Wen's reign, and Fan Hongchou's creation of forbidden artifacts led to the damage to the Dragon Vein Formation, ultimately resulting in a breach in the passage.
It is the Spirit Demon Lord right before my eyes.
She never even realized that Wang Yunkai, whom she relied on and depended on, was no longer the teacher she once knew.
Many others have had their identities replaced and are now living in hiding among humans.
Some seemingly insignificant little things, when connected and aggregated, can turn into a larger crisis in a chain reaction.
First channel, second channel, third channel...
Central Plains, Western Regions, East China Sea...
The successive opening of the three channels allowed the demons to deploy their demon army on a large scale.
The size of the demon army was beyond everyone's imagination.
A massive demonic calamity appeared in the world. The original demons, parasitic demons, mutated demons... and even the incredibly powerful ancient demons gathered together. Billions of world-eating insects were awakened, continuously gnawing and permanently changing the entire human world.
The entire world was plunged into a catastrophe, with countless lives lost and corpses floating for miles. One city, town, and village after another was slaughtered. The swarming demon army, as dense as locusts, spared no place, not even the deepest mountains or the deepest seas, leaving its footprints everywhere.
death.
It's the most common thing.
Despair and wails filled the air constantly.
The stars were dim, the sun and moon were without light, and the sky was forever shrouded in a gray, deathly silence.
Less than one in ten survived. In an extremely short period of time, more than 90% of all living beings on earth were wiped out, and those who remained were merely struggling to survive, barely clinging to life.
Too many deaths have accumulated far too many negative emotions.
The earth turned into the deepest, darkest red.
That's because too much blood was lost, and the soil couldn't absorb it all at once.
Through the Gate of Sin, born from slaughter, the seven Demon Lords who hatched from it joined forces to summon the Supreme Heavenly Demon to descend.
then.
All hope in the world has vanished.
The entire world has fallen, transformed into a demonic realm, a paradise for demons.
And all of this began with the relocation of the capital to Chenjing, which led to the inevitable destruction twenty years later. From then on, the entire world gradually headed towards destruction.
"Alright. Time to go." Lingmiao finished her last glass of wine, smiled, and stood up.
Tantai Xunzhen sat by the window, seemingly oblivious to everything, completely still and motionless.
She wanted to tell her older brother, Tantai Sheng, to revise the plan, reconsider the variables, make up for the shortcomings, and salvage everything.
But she knew this was just wishful thinking. The other party would never let her leave.
Tantai Xunzhen stared blankly out the window.
The bustling crowds, the shouts of vendors, the laughter of children, the lively conversations among people, and the occasional bursts of fireworks.
She could hardly believe that this once bustling scene, like yesterday's flowers, would become an absolute dead zone twenty years later, the source of the demonic calamity.
The Tantai family will be destroyed in this great calamity, the Central Plains will fall, the Buddhist kingdoms of the Western Regions, the scattered cultivators of the East Sea, and even the Hundred Veins of the North will all become history.
And the origin of it all was simply the upcoming capital relocation plan…
"gone."
The door to the private room opened automatically, and Lingmiao walked out of the room step by step.
Tantai Xunzhen couldn't help but let her legs follow her slowly.
The people around them seemed to completely ignore the two of them, recognizing the road on their own and turning a blind eye.
Click, click...
Inside the tightly closed private room, the faint sound of a neck bone twisting and breaking could be heard.
One by one, the expressionless maids collapsed, their bodies gradually losing warmth, and their shadows returned.
……………
……………
Sanlingqu Canal.
The flowing river water ripples gently in the wind, reflecting the colors of sunlight in layers like a mirror.
"Sir, we can begin. Everything is absolutely perfect; the other side has everything arranged correctly..."
On the damp bank, Li Feibai whispered something to Han Yi, his face full of flattery, appearing somewhat submissive.
