Chapter 181 I Will Take Action
"A demon tide..."
Lin Yuan gently put down the teacup, "In the eyes of ordinary people, the 'demon tide' is a full-scale war between the demon race and the human race."
Lu Changsheng frowned slightly and said with some disappointment, "That's it?"
The human race and the demon race have been fighting for hundreds of years, and it's nothing more than the size of the battle and the number of casualties.
"Don't worry, what I just said is just an explanation to ordinary people."
"The Demon Slaying Department believes that there is no need to cause excessive panic. This will not benefit the war situation at all, but will easily cause chaos."
Lin Yuan stated calmly.
"The last demon tide was seventeen years ago."
"At that time, I was not the chief of the Demon Slayer Division."
"The chief is my teacher."
"That battle lasted for seven days."
"It was non-stop day and night, without end."
"Outside Fengdu City, there were mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Like a meat grinder, it madly devoured all the creatures that dared to approach."
"My teacher forcibly broke through the ninth level and died together with the descenders, and barely managed to hold on."
"After the demon tide receded, the battle continued for several years before the situation gradually eased."
"And I became the chief of the Demon Slayer Division after that battle."
Lu Changsheng's thoughts seemed to return to the outside of Liming City, where the huge army of demons came like a tidal wave.
Such a battle lasted for seven days, how many people would die...
"What does 'descender' mean?" Lu Changsheng picked up the teapot and refilled Lin Yuan's tea.
Lin Yuan looked ahead, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly said, "That was the name we gave him before. Now I know that his real name is not this."
"Do you still remember the guy we saw in the sky?"
"The guy who called himself [Infinite True God]?" Lu Changsheng was still very impressed by this name and ran very fast.
Lin Yuan nodded, "The demon race and our human race have completely different social structures."
"They have many racial classifications, some are close to human form, such as succubus and sirens. Some are close to animals, such as blood-fanged ghost spiders and hellhounds, and some are simply skeletons."
"But there is one thing that is the same."
"They are all loyal to the existence in the Infinite Abyss."
"For some reason, the Infinite True God seems unable to leave the abyss."
"So, it will bring its will to the demon race in the world."
"Those who can carry it The demons whose will descends are called [Lords of the Abyss]. "
"You can understand that all the Lords of the Abyss are substitutes of the Infinite True God, walking on its behalf in the world."
"The Lord of the Abyss can naturally suppress other demons, even suppressing them across levels."
"Otherwise, with the violent nature of the demons, there is no way to form an army. I'm afraid they will fight among themselves on the spot."
Lu Changsheng nodded slowly. He remembered the battle of Dawn City. With just one word from Yuliu, millions of demons could give up the fight and retreat immediately.
It seems that it's not that the demons have strict military discipline, but simply blood suppression.
Lin Yuan took a sip of tea and continued, "On weekdays, the influence of the Infinite True God on the world is very small. At most, he issues some orders through the Lord of the Abyss. Most of the time, he is very quiet."
"It's different only when the 'monster tide' strikes."
"His influence on the world will reach its peak, and he can even descend into the world with the Lord of the Abyss as his body."
Lu Changsheng asked in confusion, "Even if he descended on Yuliu, it was just an eighth-level monster. He just killed it. How could it cause so many casualties?"
In this world, only you can say "I killed an eighth-level monster", okay?
Lin Yuan complained in his heart, but still explained patiently, "Boss Lu, you should know the difficulties that every Venerable will face after reaching the ninth level, right?"
Lu Changsheng nodded. Gou Shengzi talked to him about this topic after returning from Tianqiong.
Lin Yuan's voice gradually became heavy, "Even the demons will be tempted by [demigods] after they advance to the ninth level."
"And they are brutal by nature and are corroded faster than humans."
"The reason why humans can always fight against the demons is because of the advantage of the ninth-level top combat power."
"But when the infinite true god descends to the world, he can raise the power of the Lord of the Abyss to the peak of the ninth level and will not be tempted by [demigods] at all."
"You can use the power of the ninth level without any scruples and will not suffer any backlash at all."
"Just like..."
"You."
Lu Changsheng shrugged and said helplessly, "I am indeed like you Not quite the same. "
Lin Yuan saw that Lu Changsheng didn't want to discuss this topic in depth, so he didn't explore it. "The 'monster tide' erupts once every twenty years on average. According to our estimation, the next monster tide is less than three years away."
"Every time a monster tide strikes, it will last for seven days. During these seven days, no matter what level of monsters they are, they will become extremely excited and violent."
"According to past experience, when facing a monster tide, the human race needs at least two ninth-level venerables to resist it."
"After using the ninth-level power, the two venerables will surely die."
"So every monster tide is a test of life and death for the human race."
"Once the highest combat power fails, Wuliang Zhenshen can control the ninth-level peak Abyss Lord and deal a devastating blow to the human race."
Lu Changsheng gradually realized that if he had to exchange two for one every time, the top combat power of the human race would definitely fall faster than the monster race.
No wonder all the venerables in the sky were killed.
"If we can kill all the Abyss Lords before the monster tide comes, can we survive the monster tide?" Lu Changsheng asked thoughtfully.
"We have also tried the 'beheading' tactic, but only the ninth-level venerable can jump over a million troops to take the head of the Abyss Lord."
"And those Abyss Lords rarely gather in one place, giving us the opportunity to catch them all in one fell swoop"
"If we fail, it will only waste the highest combat power in vain."
"The sky is the best opportunity. It's a pity that I didn't expect Wuliang Zhenshen to take them away by force."
Lu Changsheng nodded.
No wonder Lin Yuan was planning to self-destruct with the group of Abyss Lords at that time...
So this was the idea.
Lin Yuan drank the tea in the cup and continued.
"The sky is dry."
"We have no more money to spend."
"This may be the most important battle for our human race."
"If we win, our human race can continue to survive."
"Failure means the end of the extinction of the race."
"So..."
"Boss Lu, I want to ask you."
"Can you help us at this most critical moment for the human race?"
Lu Changsheng did not speak, but slowly filled Lin Yuan's tea.
"In fact, someone once asked me this question."
"Whether it is now or then, my answer is the same."
Lin Yuan's hand holding the teacup froze in the air, staring at Lu Changsheng nervously.
...
"I will help."
