Chapter 0494: Plane Origin
As soon as the smoke of the war cleared, the demon castle of Gangdrake took on a post-apocalyptic decadent scene in the eyes of the young mage.
The bronze gates of the Iron Castle had fallen crookedly to one side, covered in purple-black and foul-smelling flesh and blood. Most of the spikes had been broken, but only a few were still intact, with a string of dead, bloody flesh licker remains impied on them.
The once tumbling and scorching molten path had now condensed into a rugged rock bed under the erosion of endless dead air, and then it was heavily paved with countless demons and undead corpses, almost becoming a corpse road. And now, the young mage is treading on such a high-and-low path of corpses, strolling towards the lair of the once glorious plane lord.
The Corpse King and some of the cemetery elite are clearing the castle of the last recalcitrant diehards, while the death prophet Falina and the forgotten mage Pakvik lead the army to hunt down the fleeing enemy, and the only one who remains at the gate of the steel castle to welcome the young mage is the old necromancer Kel'thugad.
Many groups of abominations with large bodies and round waists, who looked like a mountain of meat from a distance, pushed aside the piles of demons and undead corpses on the road of corpses, and barely cleared a blood-stained dirt road for Li Xun, the lord of the cemetery.
Li Xun looked at the corpses piled up in the shape of a hill on both sides of this road, and then looked at the wet road in the middle that was mixed with demonic purple blood and undead black blood, and the whole person was about to collapse.
It seems that I can't even be the Great Demon King of the world if I don't want to! Look at this style, look at this scene, even if Li Xun rolls and says that he is a good person with good intentions, no one will believe it.
With a deep sigh, the young mage cast a flying spell on himself, and walked lightly across the welcoming path with vague steps.
Li Xun's trip was not to inspect this steel castle, nor to experience the aftermath of the war. He responded to the request of the Demon Wizard to build a necropolis city in the seat of the plane's authority, as a stop to this dimensional war, and to assert his authority to the abyssal creatures of the entire 43rd plane.
Maybe it won't be long before the cemetery forces have their own name and territory in the bottomless abyss. However, considering the demons' recognition of power, the current level 13 demon wizard is not suitable for the forefront, so the cemetery forces are playing the banner of level 19 Baro Yan Demon Hilgai to the outside world.
The first location was not on the side of the best Iron Castle, but somewhere 5 miles away.
The same large number of high-quality demon corpses, the same mysterious sea of bones rooted in the origin of the plane, this set of processes is already familiar to young mages. At the moment when the churning cold and dead qi condensed into a sea of bones, the angry plane consciousness did not choose to appear, but sent its own roar into the young mage's mind from a long distance of space.
The young mage smiled faintly.
Dignity is made by fighting! A lost dog who only dares to hide in the distance and bark wildly, and the dignity of Rausch is at all?
Now that the new sea of bones has been built, here are the various attempts.
Hundreds of selected high-level corpse witches kept muttering to themselves around the gray sea of bones, reciting the sealing spell full of dark and evil aura, and saluting to the sea of bones while chanting.
The gloomy and cold pillar of light that rushed to the sky enveloped the entire sea of bones.
The arcane puppet possessed by Isa accompanied the young mage, flashing his frequent compound eyes to repeatedly observe and probe the progress of the sealing technique, and at the same time through the soul system of the young mage, he sent specific instructions to each high-level corpse witch soul fire in the field.
The entire sealing ceremony came to an end step by step in a delicate and careful control.
In the rumbling thunder, the entire area where the Sea of Bones was located continued to tremble and whisper. In the continuous abnormal sound of clicking, bottomless vertical and horizontal ravines appeared on the earth. These ravines are roughly distributed around the outer perimeter of the bones, and gradually peel off the sea of bones in the middle in a way that encloses them on all sides.
Li Xun took a deep breath, and there was a hint of excitement on his white face. The sealing technique has reached the last step, and the front is basically smooth. As for whether or not you can seal the sea of bones completely, it all depends on this last step!
Li Xun and Issa cooperated tacitly and at the same time, they sent the order to all the high-level corpse witches who participated in the sealing ceremony. With the sudden rise of the incantation, all the high-ranking corpse witches raised their hands and began to cast spells to close the last trace of the sea of bones.
There was no room for everyone to do anything to remedy it, and the moment the magical connection between the Sea of Bones and the Origin of the Plane was severed, the sea of bones that had been compressed thousands of times lost its control.
For a while, strange screams sounded in the field, hundreds of portals and arbitrary doors suddenly opened, and one by one high-level corpse witches jumped into it in a panic. Even young mages are the same.
It's a pity that the explosion came too abruptly and quickly, leaving too much time for everyone to react. So when a huge roar mixed with thousands of fragments of broken gravel struck out, there were still a dozen or so corpse witches who did not escape in time.
The slower Arcane golem had just chased the young mage into the portal when a huge cloud of dust rushed through. The bullet-like whizzing of debris certainly didn't let go of the slowly closing portal, and the sound of ping-pong was mixed with the screams of the young mage.
Ten minutes later, the young mage, with a large blob swollen on his head, and the arcane golem covered with broken stone chips behind him returned to the place where the sea of bones was.
The sea of bones had completely disappeared, leaving only a bottomless pit in its place, and the traces of the shock wave of dead air could be seen everywhere within a radius of 3 miles. The bare ground was full of tangled and tangled remnants of dead air, which corroded the originally fiery red and hot rock wall into a scorched black and dark loose black soil. The breath of death impregnated in these black soils is already comparable to the grave soil of a century-old corpse.
The seal has failed!
The reason for the failure was that once the deep connection between the Sea of Bones and the Plane Origin was severed, the dead qi that gathered up would get out of control. The more dead air gathers, the more powerful and widespread the explosion.
The regrouped corpse witches searched and rescued, and finally found some of the skeletons of the dozen or so corpse witches in the surrounding area. There are 5 soul fires that have not been extinguished, although the limbs are mutilated, but as long as they are sent back to the mausoleum to recuperate, they can be saved, and the rest of them were directly dispersed by the overly tyrannical shock wave, which can be regarded as "martyrdom in the line of duty"!
Looking at the miserable scene in front of him, the young mage also showed a rare ruthless temperament, and hissed and shouted: "Go to the next location!" ”
So three hours later, another earth-shattering explosion of negative energy shook the heavens and the earth.
Seven hours later, the third exploded......
The day went by.
The young mage who had recovered from resting in the makeshift camp tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
For a whole day, not to mention the mana and energy consumed, not to mention the damaged high-level corpse witch, this helpless frustration alone tortured his soul extraordinarily.
The fact that Yàn could not succeed also indicates that the road to the exterraneous plane conquest set in the early stage ended without a problem. Even if Issa can find a way to send individual heroes into enemy-occupied territory, without the sea of bones that can continuously bring troops, there will be no horizontal plane teleportation, then conquering the different planes will be a journey to death.
Counting on the slow growth of one or two heroes in the different planes, playing hegemony in different worlds, and finally unifying the plane, it is estimated that Li Xun's bones will not be able to see that day when his bones are weathered.
The more he thought about it, the worse his mood became, and the young mage lay in his little tent and turned over the baked cakes.
But in the end, it was Cialis's unintentional question that gave the young mage a new direction.
"Since it is not possible to directly seal the Sea of Bones, then why not replace the Plane Origin with something else temporarily?"
"Uh......?"
Li Xun couldn't help but hold his head and began to think about the possibility repeatedly.
Oh, yes! One of the main reasons for the continuous failure was that sooner or later, the sealing technique would cut off the connection between the Bone Sea and the Plane Origin, which led to the loss of control of the dead qi gathered by zhì. However, if it can temporarily replace the plane origin with something and seal it along with the sea of bones, this idea is also highly feasible in theory.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, Li Xun couldn't help but jump up, pacing quickly in the tent, and at the same time asking all his subordinates in the soul system for possible items that could replace the origin of the plane.
What is the Origin of the Plane?
There is only one word difference between the plane and the half-plane, but the real difference between them is the disparity between heaven and earth. Aside from the huge difference in size, the only thing that determines their status is the Plane Origin.
It is said that some half-planes cultivated during the Arcane Empire once reached a size of nearly 1,000 kilometers, and there were countless creatures and resources on them. But even so, they are still uncompromising half-planes. Why? Just because they don't have a plane origin.
The Plane Origin is not an object that can be embodied, but a kind of aggregate of rules, a kind of controller that encompasses a certain plane ecosystem. It is ethereal, but it retains a deep connection with everything on its own plane that transcends ideology.
When the half-plane develops to the extreme, under the erosion of the long river of time, it may give birth to the origin of the plane. The birth of the origin of the plane usually means the transition from a certain half-plane to the plane, and it also means that this half-plane has been able to build a self-consistent and balanced ecosystem, and has since become one of the planes.
And a plane, only in the slow self-growth, gradually expand its own space, carry more creatures, species, and resources, so that it can further conceive a vague plane consciousness in the long development. Dimensional consciousness is more like the collective intelligence of individual beings, a vague and naïve plane consciousness with an instinctive response like a fetus.
Li Xun remembered that in his previous life, there seemed to be a saying called group intelligence.
For example, geese always migrate in groups to reach their destinations accurately, while individual geese tend to get lost. Similarly, in the case of the great bison migration in Africa, a single bison cannot accurately remember the route, while a large number of bison will have probabilistic accuracy. For example, if people guess the price of something, and make an average of the results of everyone's guesses, they often get the correct price.
Probability increases the overall intelligence of the group.
Plane consciousness is much like the group intelligence that is attached to the origin of the plane.
Of course, as long as this plane consciousness is given enough time, sooner or later it will possess super-intelligence beyond all living beings. However, this so-called time is an astronomical number that frightens people to death, and even anything related to the plane is unfolded in tens of thousands of years.
Belch...... Think far!
Li Xun couldn't help but gently tap his skull, and began to try to pull his mind back to the origin of the plane.
In the final analysis, the Plane Origin is also a regular aggregate, and it is inseparable from the category of consciousness and energy, if you find a creature with strong enough soul consciousness and life force to replace it, can it also replace the role of the Plane Origin in the generation of the Sea of Bones?
Well, it's worth a try!
