Chapter 1314: The Path Of Apocalypse (37)
“So at the start, it’s like a training pagoda?”
Ming Shu smiled and rubbed his head. “Yes.”
Qi Yu choked. “…Then what happened to those people in the pagoda when their challengers won against them?”
“They died too. It is only fair that way. However, it didn’t last for long.”
Someone broke the rule.
When the people realized that the Apocalypse Pagoda was not controlled by anyone, they tried to gain power from the pagoda itself. They wanted to gain power that didn’t belong to them.
This kind of training used to happen once every 100 years. Then, it changed to once every 1000 years. The intervals got longer and longer.In the end, the Apocalypse Pagoda was disappointed with the people in this world so it shut down and was never activated again. It became a jail for villains of the different worlds.
As time went by, the people of the Thousand Mirror World forgot what was the real purpose of the Apocalypse Pagoda.
Hence, the Apocalypse Pagoda was left alone in this place.
Many people tried to look for treasures inside, but no one succeeded.
Spirit Water appeared before, but no one knew why it appeared, so no one came near it.
Hence, the Apocalypse Pagoda remained safe.
Ming Shu talked about the Battle at Spirit Water.
“If we want to talk about the Battle at Spirit Water, we need to mention the Liyang royal family.”Qi Yu prepared to listen to her.
“The Liyang royal family was the only ruler of the Thousand Mirror World until a betrayer appeared.”
He was the king’s younger brother, Duke De.
Duke De sent a lady to seduce to the king.
He found out a secret which only the king would know.
The Apocalypse Pagoda was the weakest when Spirit Water appeared. This was the best time to attack the pagoda.
Maybe it was due to his luck or fate, but Spirit Water appeared soon after.
…
Outside the pagoda…Inside the tent of the Family Lord Long, an elder sat cross-legged in the water mirror. He had an immortal aura around him.
His voice passed through the water mirror. “Duke De collaborated with the families who were very interested in the pagoda and discussed with them how to attack the pagoda.”
Family Lord Long couldn’t help but interrupt the elder. “Ancestor, since the Liyang royal family knew about this, why didn’t they do anything?”
The elder said, “Do you know how the Liyang royal family know this?”
Family Lord Long shook his head.
…
“The Liyang royal family made an agreement with the Apocalypse Pagoda. Hence, they can’t leak this secret and can’t gain any benefits for themselves.”
Ming Shu’s voice was calm. There was no emotion in it.
Duke De’s plan proceeded smoothly.
This was because the king at that time was very weak.He loved women and wine. He spent money like water. Many big families were against him.
Duke De used the Apocalypse Pagoda as bait and convinced many families to attack the pagoda with him.
When the Spirit Water appeared, the attack started.
They entered the pagoda, but they were not sure about the situation inside.
However, Duke De knew that the people locked up in this pagoda were all powerful. If they killed them, they could take their abilities.
Of course, some abilities couldn’t be taken because the system didn’t allow it.
Many people participated in the attack. The people locked up in the pagoda couldn’t handle them.
Most of them were killed in the gang fight.This was where the Xi family stepped in. The Xi family entered the pagoda at that time and took someone’s ability.
“After the fight was over, everyone left the pagoda…”
Qi Yu frowned slightly. He felt that she didn’t mention some things.
He couldn’t see anything from the expression on the mice’s faces.
What was her role in the Battle at Spirit Water?
After these people came out of the pagoda, the Battle at Spirit Water officially started.
The reason was simple: the abilities they got in the pagoda.
Most people didn’t get anything.
Some had abilities that they didn’t know how to use.
For instance:
The ability to commit a perfect crime.
Nothing would happen to you if you killed someone in the Thousand Mirror World. You were stronger than them. If their family members wanted to take revenge, they could do so as long as they were able to defeat you.
Or… how to make virus.
What the hell was this?
Hence, those people that acquired powerful abilities were surrounded.
Someone started snatching other people’s abilities right outside the pagoda.
Corpses could be seen everywhere.
“After this battle, besides the Xi family, many other big families were heavily impacted and disappeared.”
This battle started the thousand years of war in the Thousand Mirror World.
The Liyang royal family had a weak king, but they were still powerful.
Hence, it was not easy for them to form their own nation and separate themselves from the Xuanzi Continent.
The continent was still split in three in the end.
The Battle at Spirit Water involved the secret of the Apocalypse Pagoda so the leaders warned everyone against saying anything.
“The Long family from Dongyuan was one of the biggest winners.”
Qi Yu was curious. “What happened to Duke De?”
Ming Shu replied slowly, “Duke De… is the first king of Lie Yang Country from the Congtian Continent.”
Liyang, Lie Yang…
Do these two countries have such a relationship?
“Dan Jing had no reaction toward Lie Yang Country.”
Duke De was a betrayer of the country.
By rights, these two countries should be enemies.
However, Dan Jing appeared indifferent toward the people from Lie Yang Country.
“That time, Lie Yang Country and Liyang Country were at war. The new king of Liyang Country sympathized with his civilians and stopped the war personally.”
Ming Shu paused before saying casually, “The kings changed many times. Time can make people forget things.”
Qi Yu looked at her.
Ming Shu smiled. Her eyes formed half-moons.
She said softly, “This is what happened during the Battle at Spirit Water.”
“Little ancestor… Spirit Water appeared!”
A huge mouse ran toward them from the side. A water mirror appeared on one side of the pagoda wall.
A whirlpool had appeared on top of the pagoda. Water flowed out of the whirlpool and floated eerily in the sky.
This was unscientific!
Qi Yu was shocked. “This… is the Spirit Water?”
Ming Shu replied softly, “This is just the start.”
Qi Yu looked at the sky that was filled with water.
After a while, the water dropped down from the sky.
It was a magnificent scene.
Water flowed down from the sky. The ground couldn’t resist the impact of the water and broke. It sunk inward.
After all the stones on the ground had sunk, the water stopped flowing.
The water in the sky and on the ground were like mirror images of each other.
The Apocalypse Pagoda floated between these two images.
“What is that?”
Qi Yu pointed at the thing that was rising from the bottom of the water on the ground. His expression seemed strange.
