Chapter 379 The Secret Past of the Border Area!
After the banquet, Latan chose to retreat in a secret room deep in the Kalia Castle, hoping to gain a deeper understanding of the power of the domineering law.
Xiao led the pyroxene mages and Xiao's family who were willing to follow him back to the Volcano Mansion.
With Xiao's return, the snake people in the entire Volcano Mansion were immersed in carnival, warmly welcoming the return of their queen.
At the same time, deep underground in the Volcano Mansion. The bright red snake surrounded by the power of blasphemy was entwined on the heavy lava.
When she felt Xiao's breath, she immediately let out a thunderous roar full of joy.
The power released by this roar alone caused the entire Volcano Mansion to fall into a violent shock.
Following the guidance of the breath, Xiao came to the depths of the Volcano Mansion and saw the blasphemous snake.
In an instant, Xiao saw the eyes full of tears, and the huge head of the blasphemous snake leaned tightly in Xiao's arms.
Xiao gently stroked the scaly head of the Blasphemy Serpent. He could clearly feel her emotions: joy, sadness, thoughts and reluctance.
Countless emotions from the Blasphemy Serpent flooded into Xiao's mind like a tide, and at the same time, he also gained memories from the Blasphemy Serpent.
It was a long and complicated history, full of bloody and cruel battles.
It was her memory of growing up with the Queen of the Night Eyes in obscurity and constantly fighting in the borderland, as well as some things that happened after the death of the Queen of the Night Eyes.
The memories of the snake, they witnessed countless life and death separations together, and experienced endless pain and suffering.
It also revealed many historical secrets and truths about the borderland, allowing Xiao to have a deeper understanding of this world.
For example, why Marika gave birth to the son of bad omen, such as the Horned People mentioned by Latan, and why the snake people chose to remain loyal to the Golden Law after the death of the Queen of the Night Eyes.
All of this can be traced back to the ancient times.
In the borderland, everything originated from the furnace. In this chaotic era, everything blended and mixed together.
However, as time went by, the world changed.
All living things began to differentiate, becoming more and more diverse and unique, and countless powerful lives came into being.
In such an environment, the ancient dragons rose and ruled this land, and initially established a complementary relationship between the gods and the King of Elden.
At the end of the Furnace Age, the departure of the Dragon God triggered a fierce civil war between the ancient dragons and the flying dragons, and the center of power gradually shifted from the dragon clan to the hands of more intelligent creatures.
Since the symbol of the furnace is the horn, the horned people became the most powerful race after the dragon clan.
The horned people are the predecessors of the Sons of Bad Omen in the Golden Tree Age. Their former name was the horned people. Later, with the birth of the Golden Law, they were forced to change their name to the Sons of Bad Omen.
The horned people believe in the supreme will. In their society, faith is above all else. They even regard themselves as vessels for the advent of gods. In order to achieve this goal, they are willing to dedicate everything.
The Horned People hold various ceremonies to communicate with the Supreme Will, and try to create a body for Him that can descend to the border. They also devote all their strength to build a gate of God to open the door for the Supreme Will to descend to the border.
They firmly believe that they are the chosen people of the Supreme Will and are destined to become the container of its power. This belief drives them to pursue power, constantly explore and break through themselves.
Perhaps it is because of the fanatical belief of the Horned People at all costs that they finally won the favor of the Supreme Will, and the Supreme Will gave the tribe the powerful power to control wind, rain, thunder and lightning.
However, it is regrettable that these Horned People who have won the favor of the Supreme Will did not choose to take the path of kindness.
On the contrary, they used their power to bully the weak and showed endless cruelty and evil deeds.
How terrible is a powerful race full of fanatical beliefs?
Just look back at the various inhumane acts committed by the cult members against the people in history, and you can get a rough idea.
The Horned People classified all believers and people other than the Supreme Will as heretics and pagans, and imposed various punishments on them. All living beings trembled under their tyranny.
Even those races that also believed in the Supreme Will, as long as they did not have horns on their bodies, would also be regarded as aliens,
and they would not even be qualified to be slaves, and could only be used as tools to punish sinners. As a result, many horrifying atonement ceremonies came into being.
Among them, the witches that Marika belonged to, that is, the rare people, became one of the hardest hit areas of persecution by the Horned People.
Due to the innate vitality and kindness of the witches, the Horned People used them as tools to punish sinners.
First, they used contaminated toothed whips to whip the witches until their skin was torn and bloody,
then they cut the sinners into pieces, and finally put the two together in the pot to complete this bloody atonement ceremony.
In endless pain and torture, the sinners relied on the witches' powerful vitality to merge with them, and finally turned into a twisted tumor in the pot.
Such torture that makes people's scalps numb just by hearing it is just the most basic punishment for sinners in the Horned People.
In addition, there are countless atonement ceremonies, each of which is full of primitive blood and brutality.
However, because the gods of the Horned People have not yet become gods, their iron-blooded rule and oppression have led to the uprising of the entire borderland race.
Times make heroes, and countless heroes who gathered the luck of a clan were born.
Marika of the witch clan,
Queen of the Night Eyes of the Snake Clan,
Sword Saint Ongi of the Demi-human Clan,
Mad Fire King Midra of the Human Clan,
Flower Bud Saint Romina of the Zerg Clan,
are all microcosms of that era.
Countless demigods and heroes were born in that era of resistance.
Some of these heroes led their clans to resist the Horned Man with the promise of leading the clan to rise,
while others relied on their own strength to protect themselves and gave up the rise of the race.
The chaotic competition also began.
Queen of the Night Eyes, who was also in that era, began to collect death at the border with the blasphemous snake and turned it into a destined death.
After countless competitions, the three most powerful gods finally appeared, the Eternal Marika, Queen of the Night Eyes, and the three gods of the Horned Man.
They each have unique abilities and missions, and there are also complex relationships between them.
Marika represents life, and her power comes from nature and vitality;
The Queen of Night Eyes represents death, and her power comes from darkness and the void;
The Horned Man represents chaos, and his power comes from chaos and destruction.
