Become a god from scratch

Chapter 168 Skeleton Disaster, Aunt Hong's Age
Inside the cast iron building.

Looking at the Dimensional Mirror that had returned to its normal appearance, Lin Xuan swallowed his saliva and said nervously:

"That one just now was..."

"I'm not completely sure." Tieshan was obviously still a little frightened at this time, "But if I'm not mistaken, it should be some kind of disaster."

"That's a disaster?!"

Lin Xuan was surprised by the answer.

Of course he knew that the form of disasters was not fixed, after all, he himself had experienced different disasters.

But whether it was the furious lustful spirit that could unconsciously influence other people's emotions and turn them into slaves, or the earthbound evil that later formed its own space, the biggest impression left on Lin Xuan was that of trouble.

As long as you can find the right way to deal with it, it will not be difficult to deal with it in the end.

For example, the Furious Lustful Spirit, if we only talk about combat power, is at best equivalent to a lower-ranking general.

The most troublesome thing about it is that even Director Huang, whose combat power is superior to its own, cannot detect its existence and will be affected by it unknowingly.

If Lin Xuan had not been there that time, if the furious spirit was given some more time, it would have very likely turned everyone present into its slaves, even Director Huang, whose combat power was greater than its own.

As for the later Earthbound Evil, its trouble was even more serious than that of the Furious Lustful Spirit.

Because the Earthbound Evil is almost immortal to some extent, only a force at least two levels stronger than it can break the restraints.

For example, the strongest Earthbound Disaster at that time could exert the combat power of about a mid-level general, and this was also the power limit of the disaster on the Earth Origin Star.

But if you want to solve the problem of earthbound evil by force, even a high-ranking general cannot do it. You need at least a lower-ranking commander to do it.

You know, at that time, the Toad King could already burst out a combat power no less than that of a superior general, but he still couldn't break the shackles of the Earthbound Evil by brute force.

In fact, Lin Xuan later heard from the female demon king that many of the disasters that occurred on the Earth Source Star were actually caused by suppressed power levels.

When they appeared in the Old Land, their original power level might have been much higher than that on the Earth Origin Star. However, the changes in the Old Land have not yet completely swept to the Earth Origin Star, so the power that the disaster can penetrate is also limited.

This is why there is a saying about the disaster on the Earth Origin Star: the strongest one is only equivalent to a mid-level general, and this upper limit is destined not to be permanent.

However, the fluctuation interval may be a few years or even more than ten years.

But no matter what, Lin Xuan's impression of disasters mainly comes from the two times he had personally experienced them.

But this is completely different from the giant thunder beast that I just saw through the dimensional mirror and soared into the sky!
"This is a hundred million times more terrifying than Godzilla... If it really appeared on the Earth Origin Planet, it would probably destroy the world just by stomping its feet, right?"

Lin Xuan's mind was still recalling the scene he had just seen.

In fact, Lin Xuan had no clear idea of ​​how big the thunder beast was. After all, Zhao Qiankun was floating in the clouds to show him the surroundings, and he had no specific reference to compare with.

But even with just a quick glance, one can roughly tell the height of the thunder beast, which is probably at least ten thousand meters!
What is this concept?
You know, even Godzilla, the well-known monster king in the previous life, was only about one or two hundred meters tall.

In other words, the height of the thunder beast alone is more than a hundred times that of Godzilla, and its size is much larger than Godzilla.

More importantly, the truly terrifying thing about the thunder beast is obviously not its size, but the fact that it looks like the embodiment of thunder!
Those dark clouds seemed to be just its 'skin', and its real body seemed to be made entirely of thunder!
Lin Xuan didn't know how big the [Bawu City] was, but if this giant thunder beast appeared in Longjiang City, he wouldn't have to take any action. Its existence alone would be enough to reduce Longjiang City to ashes!

Seeing Lin Xuan speechless with shock, Tieshan comforted him, "Don't worry. This is not the first time that Bawu City has encountered such a situation. With the presence of big shots like Lord Zhao, the giant thunder beast can't cause any trouble."

"Master Tieshan, have you seen a similar scene?" Lin Xuan heard some hidden meaning and asked curiously.

"I have indeed seen him once." Tieshan nodded and said, "At that time, I had not yet broken through to the monarch level. I followed the elders of our mountain dwarf tribe and migrated here from other places. Unfortunately, I was affected by the aftermath of the disaster that attacked the giant city of Bawu..."

"Was it also this kind of thunder beast that time?" Lin Xuan asked.

"That's not the case." Tieshan shook his head and said, "What we encountered at that time was the 'Skeleton Disaster'. The endless dead, under the influence of the 'Skeleton Disaster', turned into a skeleton army that attacked the Bawu Giant City."

"Undead..." Lin Xuan thought thoughtfully.

"Well, of course you can say that." Tieshan didn't dwell on Lin Xuan's name because it wasn't the point. "Because the disaster had a wide range of effects, we didn't know that Bawu City was being attacked by the 'Disaster of Skeletons' until we got close to it."

"By the time we discovered this, we had already entered the area of ​​influence of the Skeleton Disaster. It was too late to escape even if we wanted to."

"Fortunately, the disaster was already coming to an end, and the main force of the Skeleton Army had been mostly wiped out by the bigwigs in the central city. After killing the Skeleton Army, they were also looking for the source of the disaster to prevent any new changes in the disaster."

"So, what our group of mountain dwarves encountered at that time were at most some stragglers from the Skeleton Disaster. But even among these stragglers, most of the elders in our tribe were killed or wounded..."

When Tieshan said this, it brought back some bad memories, and there was an obvious tremor in his tone.

Obviously, even though he has now reached the pinnacle of the third level of monarchy and will probably break through to the fourth level of monarchy in the near future, he still feels a lingering fear from that experience!

"At that time, Master Tieshan, were there also monarch-level elders among your elders?" Lin Xuan guessed.

“Monarch level?” Tieshan said with a wry smile, “The clan leader of our branch back then was at the fourth level of monarch, and there were three clan elders at the third level of monarch, and there were no less than ten at the second level of monarch…”

“But in the end, except for one clan elder from the Sovereign Third Heaven who managed to escape, the clan leader and two other clan elders from the Sovereign Third Heaven all perished in that ‘Disaster of Bones’.”

"Even the elder who was lucky enough to survive died shortly after our clan arrived at Bawu City because his origin was injured."

"If not for this, our branch would have had the opportunity to enter the central city directly, and we wouldn't have had to struggle in the four-sided area for so many years."

"I can only say...it's time and fate."

When Tieshan said this, he couldn't help but sigh.

Today, although he has become the patriarch of the mountain dwarf branch in [Bawu City], he is also the strongest in the tribe.

But if he had a choice, he would rather not be the patriarch than be the strongest.

It was too tiring to support his people alone. He was afraid that he would make a mistake at every step and bring disaster to his clan.

If they hadn't encountered that incident, just as he said, they might have been able to enter the central city directly after arriving at [Bawu Giant City]. Even if the fourth level of the monarch was nothing in the central city, their clan was still an excellent weaponsmith, and they just needed to find a backer.

It’s nothing like now. They seem to be very powerful, but in fact, in the eyes of those people in the central city, they are just a group of pawns.

Lin Xuan naturally couldn't understand Tieshan's feelings, but that didn't stop him from feeling shocked by the tragic experience of this branch of Tieshan's ethnic group!
In fact, he completely understood the concept that Tieshan was talking about, because these geniuses from the Earth Origin Star, including him, followed the Yin-Yang City Lord Ping Shen to the [Bawu Giant City] this time.

After they left [Yin Yang City], they also traveled a long distance before arriving outside [Bawu Giant City].

Although there were some minor incidents along the way, Ping Shen easily resolved them all.

But if they really encountered the same situation that Tieshan and his group encountered, their ending would be a hundred times more tragic than that of Tieshan and his branch.

I'm afraid no one can survive...

After all, Ping Shen, the strongest among them, was only a high-ranking commander, just like Tieshan back then.

However, with Lin Xuan's current vision, it is not difficult to judge that Ping Shen's strength is probably only at the bottom among the same level in [Bawu Giant City].

When Tieshan was at the commander level, he could definitely beat him easily.

But even Tieshan back then could only survive thanks to the sacrifices of his clan elders, and what they encountered was just a small aftermath of the disaster.

"The aftermath alone is enough to kill the mountain dwarves of the fourth level of monarchs. If it were the main force..."

Thinking of this, Lin Xuan couldn't help feeling heavy-hearted.

He had previously thought that the 'skeleton disaster' that Tieshan mentioned did not seem to be as terrifying as the thunder beast, but now that he knew the specific situation, he realized that the 'skeleton disaster' might not be weaker than the thunder beast.

No wonder Tieshan was a little shocked but not surprised.

"In fact, we were lucky to have met our savior. Otherwise, we would have been wiped out."

Tieshan said again at this time.

"Savior?"

"It's Lord Hong." Tieshan said this with a hint of respect on his face. "Lord Hong was one of the big shots who solved the 'skeleton disaster'. He accidentally discovered that we were affected, so he threw the rest of our tribe into the city, allowing us to survive..."

Aunt Hong?

When Lin Xuan heard this, he couldn't help but be a little stunned.

He didn't know Tieshan's real age because the difference in life levels was too great, and [Hezhitong] was unable to reveal Tieshan's information.

But Tieshan is the monarch of the Third Heaven, and he is a dwarf whose lifespan is several times longer than that of ordinary humans. His real age is probably at least several thousand years old, and the experiences he talked about were his experiences when he was in a high position of command.

According to a rough estimate, it has been at least one or two thousand years since then, or possibly even longer.

But from what Tieshan said, his aunt Hong was already a big figure in the central city back then?

"No wonder Master calls her an old witch. If that's the case, then she must have lived for at least tens of thousands of years. No, maybe even more than that!"

Lin Xuan was secretly frightened.

He originally didn't have a clear idea about these things. After all, Aunt Hong looked to be in her early thirties.

If Tieshan hadn't mentioned this matter, Lin Xuan probably wouldn't have guessed the real age of Aunt Hong.

You must know that the history of Taixia is only a few thousand years old...

These old monsters, which have lived for tens of thousands of years, are already older than the entire Taixia civilization. It’s no wonder that Lin Xuan had no idea about it before.

However, Lin Xuan finally understood why Tieshan was so polite to him just because of Aunt Hong's instructions, and it was sincere.

If it weren't for Aunt Hong, Tieshan and his tribe of mountain dwarves would have been exterminated long ago, and there would be no Cast Iron Building.

This kind of great kindness is truly beyond words.

Especially with Aunt Hong's identity, she doesn't need their repayment at all, or they are not qualified to repay her even if they want to.

Now that Aunt Hong finally needs their help with something, how could Tieshan not do his best?
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Anyway, with the strength of Lord Zhao and his men, there won't be any accidents as long as they don't encounter a 'world-destroying' disaster."

Tieshan shook his head at this time.

"A 'world-destroying' disaster?" Lin Xuan discovered the bright spot.

"Look at me, I almost forgot that you are from outside the domain." Tieshan slapped his forehead and said, "It's just a rough classification, and it's not that accurate. After all, the types of disasters are too diverse, and it's difficult to define the levels specifically."

"However, we have made some generalizations over the years and have classified disasters into seven levels: low-level, medium-risk, high-risk, natural disaster, destructive, world-destroying, and unknown."

"Whether it's the 'skeleton disaster' that our tribe unfortunately encountered back then, or the giant thunder beast we just saw, they are still in the category of 'destruction level', which is also the highest level of disaster that a giant city can encounter!"

"Most of the time, the disasters that Bawu City encounters are actually 'natural disaster-level' disasters, and 'natural disaster-level' disasters do not require the real bigwigs in the central city to deal with them personally. They just need to hand it over to their subordinates to deal with it. Sometimes the four regions will also be dispatched..."

Tieshan briefly introduced the general levels of the disaster to Lin Xuan, and this information was something he had never encountered in the Taiyuan base.

I guess it's not that Teacher Li Qiao is hiding something, but that she simply doesn't know the information.

Maybe someone on Earth Origin Star knows these things, but even if we tell the public, it will be meaningless and will cause panic.

So it's normal that he doesn't know.

If it were him, he would not make this information public.
