Chapter 628: Zombies Reappear

After walking through a gate full of runes, the prince followed the old emperor to a larger gate, which was engraved with more runes and hung with countless talismans. The prince, who knew a little about cultivation, only knew that those were invisible talismans used to cover up the breath. The prince was very suspicious. If there was really a god inside, how could it be covered with these invisible talismans?

Several ministers nodded, and someone moved the huge gear to slowly open the gate...

The space inside the gate was very bright. After rubbing his eyes, the prince followed the old emperor into a larger glacier space. Suddenly, the prince stopped and stared at the huge object in front of him in amazement. What is that! How can there be such a big giant? Or is it an extremely huge steel man! Is this the secret of Aoguo?

In the huge ice cave, a huge steel giant covered with ice and snow stood on a boulder platform. Cold mist kept flowing down from the ice and snow on the giant. There were many wooden ladders wrapped around the frost-covered giant. Many craftsmen were pointing and talking on it. Perhaps they were worried that it was not cold enough, so many low-level cultivators were still performing freezing spells. For some reason, the prince always had a kind of oppressive aura standing at the feet of the giant, which made people feel powerless.

"Decades ago... I was just a child at that time. A meteorite fell from the sky on the snowy mountain. Many people searched but could not find the meteorite that fell from the sky. Until one day, a herbalist found the greatest discovery of Shenwu Continent. Yes, the meteor that fell from the sky was not a meteorite but a steel giant..."

The old emperor stood at the foot of the giant and looked up at the giant standing motionless, with excitement in his turbid eyes.

"All the inventions you know about gears, cannons, gunpowder guns, wheels, etc. all come from here, from this steel giant. Even now there are more amazing discoveries. This is the palace where a new era is coming! Its appearance will change everything in Shenwu Continent! It is even likely to change the God Realm!" The old emperor shouted excitedly.

The prince didn't hear what his father was shouting, and all his attention was on the steel giant. This steel giant was different from the bronze mechas that the prince usually saw in books. For example, this steel giant had two black wheels on each thigh, and his chest seemed to be a transparent crystal. The material of his body did not seem to be bronze, and it looked more sophisticated and... stronger.

"Is that a shield? That... is a cannon?" The prince pointed to the thing behind the huge steel giant and said.

"Yes, we infer that it is a very powerful steel puppet. The shield indicates that it can fight in close combat. We still don't understand how the cannon from which our artillery weapons come is fired. What's even more incredible is that it is made of extremely special metal. I can guarantee that this kind of metal has never appeared in the northern part of our Shenwu Continent. It is very hard. We have tried many ways to dismantle this steel giant, but unfortunately we can't do it." A minister wearing some kind of clothes shook his head helplessly and said. "Then why do you still need to use the freezing spell?"

"Because...it is very likely still alive. The most powerful monk of our Ao country has been here and found a huge vitality in the steel giant. We speculate that it may have fallen on the snow mountain after being injured, and because of the freezing, the injury cannot be recovered. If it recovers, we don't know what it will do."

The prince followed the old emperor and several ministers around. No one noticed that a blue arc flashed in the eyes of the steel giant...

Not long after, the old emperor gave up the throne and the prince ascended the throne. Ao country continued to develop slowly in small steps. As if the butterfly effect, various new concepts were born and slowly began to change. The country was strong and the people were rich. He actually learned the strategy of hiding wealth among the people without a teacher. After several foreign wars, the new emperor was not in a hurry to expand the territory like other countries, but continued to consolidate and strengthen the national strength. The country was not too big, but the national strength exceeded that of ordinary big countries. If it were not for the small number of monks and their low levels, it would definitely be able to ascend to the throne of a powerful country.

A few years later

Monks usually disdain to interact with mortals. In the eyes of monks, ordinary people are ants and insignificant. They don't care about the money and power of the secular world at all. This is also a blessing for ordinary people. Otherwise, with the ability of those monks, if they toss around all day, the whole world will not have ordinary people alive. Although most monks disdain to stay in the secular world, some monks who have lost hope will run to the secular world to enjoy themselves.

Evil cultivators, as long as there are enough benefits, some people will be crazy. A plague suddenly broke out in the southern part of Shenwu Continent. The terrible thing is that people will be resurrected in another way after death. People in the secular world and monks call them zombies...

No one cares about one or two zombies. Even some brave farmers can solve them with hoes. But when the plague spreads and the number of zombies is as large as an army, even monks will be helpless. People only know that the plague was released by evil cultivators. There is no treatment method. If the skin is scratched, it will be infected by corpse poison and will become a zombie within two hours, even monks are no exception.

The southern part of Shenwu Continent fell. Fortunately, several powerful people used magic to connect several huge mountains in Shenwu Continent to form towering peaks to resist the zombie tide. In addition, various sects sent monks to patrol and guard the top of the mountains, which barely stopped the spread of zombies. From then on, the southern part became a deserted area.

The zombies were temporarily stopped, but the territories of the countries in the secular world were lost. Therefore, the secular world, which had just settled down, set off a bloody storm and ushered in a great chaos era. Even the remote areas in the north could not escape the war.

As expected by the big mouths of the national masters of various countries, the chaotic times really came. The monks did not feel much, but ordinary people in the secular world were in trouble. The people were displaced by the war for years, and the bandits bred locust plagues. Except for those remote small countries that no one cared about, most countries fell into chaos. The overlords of various places took the opportunity to rise up and dominate. They could really summon soldiers with two cakes.

Aoguo, if the north was in chaos, then Aoguo could be regarded as a few peaceful holy places. The country was strong and the people were rich. It withstood the tide of the chaotic times, but due to the influx of a large number of refugees, many problems arose and it was now somewhat overwhelmed.

Every country has some sects supporting it from behind, but these are all small sects that cannot survive in the world of immortal cultivation. The sect behind Aoguo is a female sect that mainly focuses on playing the zither and music. A sect like this that is full of beauties is simply a typical example of being coveted in the world of immortal cultivation. Fortunately, the leader of the sect knows the situation and simply ran away to the secular world to live. Although the glory is gone, they can live safely and not become anyone's slave. In this way, they have lived worry-free for hundreds of years. Unexpectedly, when the troubled times came, they could no longer hide in the sect and the leader had to bring the girls to the secular world and hide there.
