Free Web NovelChapter 1815: Chapter 1037: Secret History
Whether it be gaps or pathways, connecting to the Nightmare World is an unfamiliar concept for Yang Xiao; no one had ever mentioned it to him before.
"Yang Xiao, your tenure as an Angel Envoy is still too short. You might not perceive it, but over the past decade, the number of people receiving the Ghost Script has doubled compared to ten years ago, and correspondingly, the number of Angel Envoys has dramatically increased." freeweɓnovel.cøm
"This is definitely not a good omen. A century ago, Angel Envoys were still quite rare, but now, the overall number of Angel Envoys in the world is alarmingly high."
"High numbers also mean extreme instability. Many among these people possess the ability to easily destroy a village, or even a city."
"Both you and I are Angel Envoys, you should understand, no matter how strong we are, we are essentially people who dance with Fierce Ghosts. We borrow the power of Fierce Ghosts, and consequently we must pay the price of corrosion, which is almost irreversible. It’s said that one misstep leads to eternal doom."
"The greater the number of Angel Envoys, the greater the possibility of losing control, which is the root of the increasingly frequent paranormal events happening worldwide over the years."
"Paranormal events caused by high-level Apostles being backlashed are particularly terrifying. In Japan alone, within the last decade, there have been no less than 5 city-destroying level paranormal incidents, causing massive casualties, and the Angel Envoys who went to handle the events also suffered heavy casualties."
"Meanwhile, the surge in Angel Envoy numbers, the coexistence of many Angel Envoys will inevitably trigger conflicts and wars. The wars between Angel Envoys bring nothing but slaughter to ordinary people, since our power is no different from divine beings in their eyes."
"If this trend continues unchecked, our future has only one outcome." Jiushan Cangxuan paused and uttered two words softly: "Destruction."
"The Nightmare World is invading our world in a strange manner, and the speed is increasingly fast, almost doubling every ten years."
"Every living Angel Envoy acts as an anchor point for the Nightmare World in the reality world. These repeated nightmares are like corroded apertures between the two worlds; at specific times and locations, things from the nightmares will crawl out through the apertures, starting to corrode the reality world."
"As the apertures multiply and connect, just like white ants hollowing out a dam, when the barriers between reality and the Nightmare World collapse, the Nightmare World will overlap with reality in an unprecedented form."
"What will happen?" Yang Xiao asked with some horror.
Jiushan Cangxuan stared at him and slowly exhaled: "Everything we face in the Nightmare World will come upon the human world; the human world will become the Nightmare World, Fierce Ghosts rampaging, the human world will become hell."
At this moment, Yang Xiao couldn’t help but shiver. He was crushed by the terrifying picture described by Jiushan Cangxuan, a kind of deep despair that settled in his bones.
Having cleared through the Nightmare World multiple times, Yang Xiao was more than aware of how difficult it is to survive there. The rookie mortality rate is overwhelmingly high. If the Nightmare World descended upon reality, it would be a disaster like never before; the world population would decline at a terrifying speed, losing nine-tenths is no joke.
Though Yang Xiao is an orphan, he still has friends in this world, many of whom are ordinary people, and he fully understood what these ordinary people would face once such a world arrives.
"Senior Jiu Shan, how can we stop all of this?" Yang Xiao subconsciously asked. freёwebnovel.com
At this moment, Jiushan Cangxuan hesitated, shook his head after a while.
"You don’t know either?" Yang Xiao saw something else in Jiushan Cangxuan’s eyes.
"There is one solution that I know, but it’s too difficult, almost impossible, and I’m not sure if it’s true or false." Jiushan Cangxuan said.
"I’d like to hear the details!" Drawn in by curiosity completely, Yang Xiao now just wants to know the answer.
"Among our Ju Mountain Family, there’s a legend passed down through generations. It says that only by gathering the nine pieces of supreme treasure among the Innate Nine Treasures can the connection between the reality world and the Nightmare World be completely severed. From then on, no one would receive the Ghost Script, dragged into the Nightmare World."
"But correspondingly, all Resentful Eye Magical Artifacts left in the world would also become ineffective, and all Angel Envoys would be reduced to ordinary people."
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiao took a deep breath. He knew why Jiushan Cangxuan deemed it impossible. First, the nine supreme treasures have almost never appeared in the world simultaneously. Even now, people only know the whereabouts of seven supreme treasures.
Yang Xiao, by chance, acquired the eighth treasure, the Hundred Demons Coffin Clothes, but the whereabouts of the ninth supreme treasure even Yang Xiao is unaware of.
Of course, locating the nine treasures is merely the first step; the challenge lies in persuading the owners of the treasures to hand them over, a step as difficult as ascending the heavens.
With the supreme treasure in hand, they are the pinnacle of existence in this world, a high mountain that countless Angel Envoys can’t surpass, only worthy of admiration; power, status, wealth...these things are within easy reach.
Once losing this treasure, losing their spiritual power, they would be nothing, completely reduced to ordinary people. Such a disparity in treatment is more painful than death.
Yang Xiao believes that most people holding parts of the nine treasures, even knowing the world would be slowly eroded by the Nightmare World, and the vast majority of ordinary people would become fodder for the Nightmare World, they would absolutely not relinquish the supreme treasure in their hands, for it is their hold on the power and authority in this world.
