Chapter 1661: Depraved Human Territory
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
The Solar Eclipse lasted for a really long time. Chu Mu assumed it would only last for a few days, or one month at most.
However, it had been several months since the start of Solar Eclipse, yet the sky was still in total darkness, not a trace of light could be seen.
The longer the darkness domainted, the faster the plants wither. Soul Items, Xuan Items and Immortal Items would be lost in great quantities, the entire living world would be in a weakened state.
Furthermore, countless vile creatures would appear during Solar Eclipse. They could get stronger by absorbing the darkness energy, this severely tipped the balance of the ecology.
War and plague followed next......
It could be imagined that the entire soul pet population would be reduced proportionally after Solar Eclipse. Reproduction and cultivation would become much more difficult than before. This was indeed a slow-acting and long-lasting disaster to the world.
The two agents stayed in Northern Territory for a period of time. They had told Chu Mu some of the old histories, including the origin of the various Undying rank experts as well as a brief explanation of how they became Undying rank.
After that battle against Chu Mu, Ancient Flood Dragon Person quietened down. It ruled over that black ocean it possessed and did not expand again.
One tenth of Zhengming Continent was submerged, and one fifth from Wupan Continent. A total of one quarter of the human territory was occupied by Ancient Flood Dragon Person.
This was actually within the expectation of those leaders. The people living in the land that was occupied had already migrated to other places......
Resources were limited in the entire human territory. Cities had to take in a large group of migrants and refugees. With the continuous fear from the dark sky, migrants and refugees received unjust treatment. There were people inciting others to start a revolution and attack those beautiful cities by organizing themselves.
When revolution and rebellion started occurring, the formal army had to deploy fighting forces. Hence, a tide of war within the Solar Eclipse swept across human territory.
In Wupan Continent, corpses could be seen everywhere.
Those corpses were either attacked by the suddenly appeared monsters, or killed by other humans. Bandits and thieves roamed around the roads which were normally safe. There were even many cultivators gradually falling to become bandits as well.
The dense darkness not only withered the plants, it also slowly changed the human heart.
Darkness made people panic, as well as enlarging the criminal mindset of some people.
They exposed their greed and desire in the darkness.
They started playing the role of the devil while using the darkness and chaos as the chance to do those things they did not dare to do due to public morality in the past.
The sky was already filled with those membrane-winged demons. They ate living humans and formed groups to hunt.
The soil was already overflowing with grudge and evil aura. Those corpses slowly crawled out from the soil under the nourishment of deathly aura. They carried thick mutated vile gas and corrosive toxins, polluting the surroundings.
Meanwhile, there were also those ambitious people with twisted minds due to darkness hidden amongst the remaining people. They gained an even more daring mindset while most were trembling in fear. They were doing even more horrifying things than those real demons.
Human’s natural enemy had never been those wild soul pets, but other humans who had thrown away their humanity. Wupan Continent had degraded from a civilized society to a hell of violence and death during the Solar Eclipse.
Divine Sect had stepped out as the peacekeeper. However, Divine Sect could only restrain most powerful individuals from doing inhuman deeds, they could not stop the countless soul pet trainers at the bottom of the pyramid from turning into devils.
Other factions also made token examples, but every person was selfish. Who could guarantee that those members of justice wearing golden attire cleaned up the Heaven Demons invading the cities not for gaining control of the city?
Solar Eclipse caused resources to be even more limited. In the past, people could obtain the resources to strengthen themselves from some Bewildering Worlds. However, they could only obtain such resources from those around them. The most effective way was to kill the other party.
......
Similar situation gradually appeared in Zhengming Continent.
One tenth of Zhengming Continent was robbed. There was about one tenth of the population that migrated. At first, the various major factions could organize the migration orderly.
However, even if those migrants settled down, it could not change the fact that resources were getting lesser and lesser.
Monsters roaming in the darkness started to threaten soul pet trainers and the safety of their families. They might still be eaten by the monsters even if they lived in the cities.
Nobody wanted to die, and nobody was willing to watch their family die. In order to survive, everyone was desiring to become stronger. If they wanted to become stronger, they could only snatch resources from others.
On the hundredth day of Solar Eclipse, a rebellion occurred in Zhengming Continent. There were around seven hundred realm cities and kingdom capitals getting occupied. The original citizens were either killed or chased out.
In order not to get invaded by those creatures in the darkness, some cities started to show signs of slavery and used those slaves to feed the monsters......
This phenomenon also occured in Heaven Palace.
It was difficult to imagine an originally peaceful and civilized human territory would suddenly become so terrifying. It was so terrifying that it made people suspect if it was a long nightmare.
In a short time, the human population rapidly decreased. Nobody had expected this Solar Eclipse to be so terrifying.
......
Divine Sect, Elemental Clan, Demon Beast Palace, Xuan Gate Immortal School, Departed Spirit Palace, Ning Family Dynasty, Mu Family Dynasty and Wupan Navy, these eight largest factions in the human territory finally realized how disastrous this Solar Eclipse was. If this continued, nobody could guarantee that the human territory would not become a hell.
In the past, the Royalty that protected the humanity during crisis suddenly became silent, no longer showing up and giving speeches in the human territory.
At this moment, Divine Sect made the decision first and summoned all the leaders in the human territories to Beiming City for a discussion.
Meanwhile, as the sole Undying rank human in the entire human territory, Chu Mu would definitely become the most important guest invited for this discussion. Divine Sect also used Chu Mu’s name to make sure all human leaders participated, or else they would bear the consequences themselves.
Some independent human leaders might ignore Divine Sect’s summoning, but they definitely would not dare to deny the summoning from the sole Undying rank human.
Of course, Yu Suo was holding on to the lifeline of many leaders. Now, everyone knew Chu Mu was their true master. With so many powerful humans gathering, they did not have to bother about those Royalties who were agents from Heaven Palace.
Beiming City was built on Hermit Mountain in between Wupan and Zhengming Continent. Chu Mu and Beiming City’s City Lord Xia Yin were also old acquaintances.
In fact, Chu Mu never regarded the world as his responsibility. He only wanted to protect New Moon Land’s people.
However, after being pushed up to such a height, many things seemed to have become his responsibility. After all, if he wanted New Moon Land to be truly peaceful, he had to let this human territory return to its original civilized state. Otherwise, one day, New Moon Land would also turn into hell. In a completely defiled world, no territory could remain clean.
......
“Big brother, look at those sisters wearing blue clothes,” Ning Maner sat on Dead Dream’s back and pointed at those holistic figures in the city below.
Chu Mu saw them from far away.
This city seemed to have just suffered from a severe disaster. There were many injured people and plague was spreading throughout the city.
Meanwhile, in the city square, those female soul pet trainers wearing blue clothes were exorcising, healing and guiding the people. They were like female believers spreading a certain peaceful religion.
This allowed the greyish black city to display a not so despairing color.
“They are women from Guang Moon Palace. After the disaster started, they have been silently visiting various cities to solve the problems of plague and exorcising the miasma. They also healed the injured and handicapped, as well as instilling righteous values to those who lost their loved ones......” praised Xia Yin with a gratifying smile.
“Guang Moon Palace,” muttered Chu Mu.
“Yes, they are Saintess Yu’s disciples. They have learned her neutralizing art. Honestly speaking, when the entire world is falling into depravity, there is still such a faction which is purifying the corruption without asking for anything in return. They maintained a pure heart and are worthy of respect,” said Xia Yin in a serious tone.
Even Divine Sect was unable to completely help the depraved human territory without asking for anything in return. The pure heart of those female soul pet trainers from Guang Moon Sect seemed to be unshaken. To Xia Yin, they should be the most beautiful women in the world.
Watching those women in holy blue attire working hard, Chu Mu fell into a deep thought.
“Young master, she is Evil Good Queen. Her other side is good, pure goodwill to the extreme. You can see she has built Guang Moon Palace in preparation for this Solar Eclipse......” Old Li’s voice came from Chu Mu’s spatial ring.
Chu Mu had doubted Yu Suo’s hypocrisy, and always thought that whatever she did was to fulfil her ambition.
However, the truth was that she had her ambition, as well as her goodwill. Ambition and goodwill coexisted, that actually suited Evil Good Queen’s true quality.
......
“Big brother, can I do the same thing as them?” asked Ning Maner.
Chu Mu looked at Ning Maner and did not answer immediately.
“Big brother, our territory is more peaceful because you and the others are there. But there are still many people dying......” said Ning Maner.
She was the favored child of nature, but had to watch the nature wither.
“Go, Xia Zhixian will teach you what to do,” said Chu Mu.
