Chapter 2402 Glory and Barrenness
A woman's imagination is always so wild.
What is an apostle?
Those are a group of big guys who rule the demon world.
Such a group of big guys would vent their anger on innocent people for no reason?
They really care about face!
The so-called grievance has its owner, and the debt has its owner. If you want to take revenge, you naturally have to find the creditor of the blame family, that is, to get revenge on the woman who transferred a group of demon world bosses to the Zephyr Continent without saying a word.
Having said this, I suddenly had an idea and thought of something, so I asked Alice, "I have a question. Please tell me."
Although Alice's face was pale and she looked desperate, she still nodded to me and did not refuse my question.
"Miss Alice, may I ask if there is no commercial street in the devil world?"
Alice didn't know what she meant and frowned: "Yes."
"Sorry, I couldn't express myself clearly. What I actually want to ask is, are there food stores, clothing stores, jewelry stores and cosmetics stores in the Demon Realm?"
Alice was even more confused, but she still nodded and said, "Yes, I have everything you said."
"I want to ask you one last question. The person behind the scenes who manipulates you is a woman, right?"
Alice trembled, and a flash of panic flashed in her eyes.
That's right, the person who controls Alice must be the bold woman who conspired to design the apostles.
Alice was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Why are you asking these questions?"
"I'm just curious. Since there are food stores, clothing stores, jewelry stores, cosmetics stores and other things that women regard as treasures, why does she want to frame the apostle? Is she too busy?"
While I was thinking about it, I suddenly saw Alice looking at me with a strange look. I suddenly understood and quickly corrected: "Oh, sorry, she has no eggs."
puff!
A mouthful of tequila sprayed onto my clothes, and Shalan burst out laughing uncontrollably, followed by another burst of laughter, which was very indecent.
"prophecy."
A very soft yet very clear voice sounded in the room, that was Alice's voice.
The girl's expression at this moment was still one of panic, but her eyes were very clear, as clear as a clear spring, and she could see to the end with one glance.
"There is a prophecy book in the Demon Realm, written by a great prophet. During the most glorious period of the Demon Realm, he predicted that one day, the Demon Realm will fall into decline, chaos, madness, killing, and slavery, and with the ebb of light, Countless negative emotions will penetrate into everyone's heart. This is an unprecedented disaster, and the cause of this disaster lies in ourselves."
"The ebb of light, the coming of darkness, all these signs will be born when the twelve brightest stars fall. From then on, the demon world will fall into darkness until the twelve stars gather again and bloom with light."
After reciting the ancient prophecy, Alice lowered her head and murmured: "I was her puppet. I was connected with her. I also know a little bit about what she knows."
Then, she raised her head, glanced at Sosia and Shalan, and finally settled on my face: "The twelve stars represent the twelve most powerful forces in the demon world, which is the power of the apostles. She believes, As long as the power of the twelve apostles scattered throughout the universe is reunited, the demon world will once again restore its former glory."
"Isn't the devil world glorious now?" I asked.
"Before I left, the demon world was not glorious. Instead, it was filled with darkness, killing, violence, and slavery. All kinds of negative emotions were like a tide, washing away every corner of the planet. Disease, poverty, and hunger were like contagions. Diseases are like diseases that spread among countless people. In contrast, greed, desire, and oppression are like hereditary diseases, transmitted from the powerful and wealthy people of the previous generation to the next generation, and so on from generation to generation."
"The Demon Realm used to be a symbol of wisdom, with prosperity as its symbol, civilization as its rules, and its strength as its pride. Every Demon Realm person was proud to be born in the Demon Realm, until that explosion."
Her face was full of panic, her tone became shrinking, and her voice became trembling: "A strong light spread across the earth, as hot and dazzling as a planet exploded, and the powerful airflow tore through the sky, swept down, and destroyed Countless huge buildings symbolizing civilization, countless fortresses that were so strong that they could even withstand the impact of meteorites, were easily lifted up and torn apart like egg shells."
"The light dissipated, leaving only the afterglow and dead silence. Ruins were like gravel, covering every piece of land, and the land was like chiseled tortoise shells, with cliffs and ravines emerging from the flat ground."
"Those people from the Demon Realm who were once proud of the Demon Realm disappeared one after another in the roaring wind, and even the last withered bones and remains were gone. Only the words written by them and the bloody marks they scratched during their death struggle remained on the ruined walls. "
"Those who survived the disaster walked out of the ruins one after another. They looked around, confused and helpless. However, in order to survive, they had to rebuild from the ruins. Generation after generation, they spent countless efforts to restore the demon world to its former glory. The prototype, however, as the glory of the past reappears, the people of the demon world seem to have gradually lost the virtues of their ancestors, becoming selfish, brave and good at fighting, some are bloodthirsty and cruel, some are violent and unbridled, some are cunning and insidious, and some are mercenary."
"When the ancestors who rebuilt the Demon Realm saw the changes in their descendants, they panicked and tried to persuade the descendants to rekindle the good moral character of the Demon Realm people in the past. However, it was too late. The descendants were as stubborn as stones. There is no room for any virtue at all, so the ancestors despaired and stopped rebuilding the demon world. Amid the dissatisfied voices of the younger generations, they grew old until they died."
There was another moment of silence, like a blank space, giving me time to imagine.
After a long while, Alice murmured again: "This is the devil world today. Elder, do you think it can still be glorious?"
This last question was full of bitterness, and I couldn't help but feel sad when I heard it.
Without the constraints of morality, only the material glory of scraps and gold fans is left. Is it really considered glory?
Maybe forget it, but it's only materially. Spiritually, it's still a barren land.
"Anyway, no matter what, you are no longer an authentic Demon Realm person, but a Demon Realm person living in Hefeng Continent. As long as this place doesn't turn into a bear like one, that's fine."
Alice had a strange expression, half smiling but not smiling.
Maybe I said the wrong thing again.
With a slight cough, Shallan asked me: "How are you planning for the Zephyr Hegemony? Are you really not worried about people from the Bloody Purification coming out to cause trouble?"
"There shouldn't be any problem with this," I said confidently, "As long as I can find one thing, I am sure that the people who are bloody purified will not dare to show up. Of course, the more of that kind of thing, the greater my confidence."
Shalan's eyebrows trembled: "What are you referring to?"
"Black Nightmare."
