Chapter 779 Knowledge About Purgatory
Thinking of the scary red-haired Vivian he met before, Hao Ren realized that the information brought by Hesiana was very important. He summoned everyone at home, including Yzaks, who had just returned from the outside. Participated in the discussion. Because the coffee table in the living room was smashed by Lily's claw, Hao Ren dragged the dining table to the center of the room. Hesiana placed the mummy of the "Purgatory Ripper" on the table and explained what purgatory was.
"That was the Age of Mythology," Hesiana sat across from Hao Ren solemnly. The serious expression on her face was quite similar to the one Vivian usually wore when she was "lecturing" to others. "You should know that the earth in that era was It is very different now - magic widely exists in this world, and supernatural power is the norm in the world. Human beings without much magical talent and the weak city-states they built are rare and need to be protected. The aliens at that time not only built There are many super buildings that are unimaginable to humans today, and the magical environment in the world also makes this planet very different from today. A large number of alien spaces have established links with the earth - some of them are man-made, and some of them have existed from the beginning. .”
Hao Ren nodded slightly. He had heard these things mentioned by Weiwei Ontario before, and hearing them again now was just a review.
"At that time, aliens built a lot of things. Many families who proclaimed themselves gods even built huge 'god kingdoms', such as Mount Olympus and the Asa Domain. But today, these magnificent kingdoms cannot be found on the earth at all. The ruins are because these 'Kingdoms of God' are all built in different spaces." Vivian took over Hesiana's words, "These Kingdoms of God spaces are man-made different spaces. In addition, there are some natural They have been linked to the earth since I can remember. They include purgatory and some demonic planes. Even some aliens originally lived in this kind of space, such as the shadow demons. They come from this kind of space, those The guy's hometown is called the 'Shadow World', a cold place without stars. I went there once and was very impressed."
This was the first time Hao Ren heard about this. What he immediately thought of was nothing else but the truth about aliens coming to Earth:
They were originally residents of the Dream Plane, but were leaked into this universe due to the rupture of the wall of reality.
Could it be that those primitive alien spaces that existed in ancient times were also leaked from the Dream Plane? In other words, when the wall of reality broke, it not only threw a large number of races to this place, but also threw some space fragments from the Dream Plane in?
Hao Ren exchanged looks with the others, and everyone basically thought of the same thing. However, they did not dwell too much on this: considering the condition of the wall of reality and the theoretical model of "unification of information", it is normal for some space debris to be leaked into the universe after the wall of reality is broken, but the scale is It's just a big or small thing. Now it seems that the leakage was probably more serious than imagined.
"After the collapse of the Mythical Age, these different spaces were basically gone," Hesiana continued. "The man-made divine kingdom lost its support due to the death of its owner. Most of it collapsed, and some of the remaining ones fell into closure. The one we found before The Olympus Temple space is a closed alien space; while those naturally existing spaces have been exiled: Demon hunters do not have the ability to destroy the structure of time and space, so in order to cut off the foundation of some alien races, they sealed those aliens in alien spaces. space and destroyed the link between the latter and the main plane."
"Now those different spaces should still be floating in the cracks of time and space. There is no channel to rebuild the connection from within the space, so they will wander in endless time and space forever until the day the universe dies," Vivian said here Suddenly I felt a little scared, "Fortunately, I didn't think about going to a different space to hide and be quiet. Once I went in and fell asleep, I'm afraid it would still be floating in some corner of the universe."
Hao Ren looked at the mummy of the "Purgatory Ripper" on the table and was curious about what kind of environment could give birth to such a weird and ferocious creature: "What kind of place is Purgatory?"
"The craziest of all alien spaces. There are no rational creatures in it, only wild beasts." Hesiana curled her lips and looked up at Vivian, "You should ask Lady Vivian about this, about the ancient times. I have heard all about the times, Lady Vivian has really experienced it."
Vivian hummed and recalled what happened back then: "I have never been to Purgatory. Even in the mythical age, few people have been to that place. The link between Purgatory and the main plane is very unstable. It is not like it was back then. Other alien spaces also have fixed space passages or entrance and exit methods, but open doors on the earth almost randomly. On the first level of purgatory, it is somewhat reasonable. Some bold wizards will explore that place. There are The poisonous air and high-temperature hot springs make the whole world boil as if it has been boiled. The Purgatory Rippers live on the first floor, and the second floor of Purgatory is where completely unreasonable monsters live. , they are all mindless beasts of flesh and blood, devouring each other, killing each other, acting with complete killing instinct, they will almost tear apart any flesh and blood body that breaks in - Hades once tried to form a The undead army wanted to find out what was at the bottom of Purgatory, but those skeletons and zombies were also torn apart by the twisted monsters in Purgatory. In short, Purgatory is such a crazy place."
"Is it a harsh space full of primitive beasts?" Hao Ren touched his chin, "Why are wizards studying this place?"
"The creatures in Purgatory are born with powerful power, and their flesh and blood contain special primitive energy," Vivian said. "Although those bloodthirsty monsters are dangerous, wizards regard them as treasures. Some Purgatory Ointments made from living creatures can even be used to cast forbidden spells, such as promoting humans to immortal wizard spirits, or opening portals to deeper twisted spaces. During the Age of Mythology, wizards were captive minions of aliens. At that time, they were still forced by their masters to explore Purgatory, but after the end of the Age of Mythology, some wizards began to explore that place on their own initiative."
Lily immediately yelled: "Hey, wait a minute, after the collapse of the Mythical Age, wasn't Purgatory banished by demon hunters like other alien spaces?"
"All other natural spaces have been exiled by demon hunters, except for Purgatory." Vivian shook her head. "As I said before, Purgatory is a very unstable place, and its connection to the main plane is also completely random. Purgatory There are no native intelligent races in it, and no one can control its linking rules - the demon hunters cannot grasp that space at all. Therefore, after the end of the mythical age, purgatory will still be linked to the earth from time to time, and there will often be surviving aliens. Or wizards can go in. But since then, the demon hunters have been constantly disturbing the gate of Purgatory. They seem to have used a continuous space disruption force to 'push' Purgatory out of this world, although they have not completely destroyed its connection with this world. , but it has greatly reduced the frequency of the opening of the gate to purgatory. In the past one or two thousand years, purgatory has not appeared at all. I remember that the last time it appeared was during the Augustus period, when a gate was opened in the north of Rome, and there were countless A village was engulfed by monsters, but there was no news of the 'opening' after that. Moreover, the scale of the opening was not large, and there are no clues in history."
Hao Ren listened to these magical stories with wide eyes. He did not expect that such a thing would happen after the end of the mythical age. Then his eyes fell on the mummy specimen of the Purgatory Ripper: "Then this thing..."
"This was made into a specimen hundreds of years ago," Hesiana nodded, "which means that a wizard opened the door to purgatory hundreds of years ago and brought something out of it alive."
"Hundreds of years ago? That was the time when humans and demon hunters ruled the earth." Hao Ren felt incredible. "Didn't the demon hunters notice?"
“I don’t know if anyone discovered it when the door was opened, but the wizard obviously escaped the hunt of the witcher. We found some clues about him, which proved that the wizard was still active in Europe until around the time of the American Revolution. "
"So the information we have now is: there was a wizard who opened the door to purgatory hundreds of years ago and brought something out of it. At the same time, the wizard also left a magic book that could summon the evil spirit Vivian. ..." Hao Ren tapped his knuckles on the table, "What's the connection between the two things?"
"There is evidence that the summoning ritual recorded in the book is just one of the wizard's many forbidden spells. We found some scattered manuscripts left by the wizard." Hesiana glanced at Vivian, "He Summoning the 'Blood King' is not the ultimate goal, but just to use the power of the Blood King to enter the depths of purgatory. He should have many other manuscripts left, and there may be more than one forbidden spell related to Lady Vivian. Well, these secrets should be hidden in the place where he opened the door to purgatory."
"where?"
"Nordic."
