All People's Abyss: My skills are infinitely enhanced

Chapter 547 The Current State of Middle-Earth
"This place is well connected..."

With Ai's guidance, Tao Yu had a more intuitive understanding of the geographical location of Yining Weizhi.

It is not far from key locations such as the Misty Mountains, the White Mountains, Isengard, Rohan, Gondor, and the Shire.

However, the overall scene is quite desolate, with perhaps a few orcs called orcs and some undead wandering around.

It can be considered to be on the edge of Gondor's sphere of influence, but there are no large human settlements.

Some scattered small-scale human settlements can be regarded as the party that is at odds with Rohan and Gondor.

"The undead, I wonder if it's the army of undead that King Aragorn found in the Lord of the Rings storyline..."

Although Tao Yu had information about the Lord of the Rings trilogy in his mind, as well as some other information he had looked up in the past with interest, after all, he was only watching movies and looking up information out of interest, so it was impossible for him to pay attention to everything, and he was distracted many times.

"Remember that in addition to creating gods like Valar and Maia, the God of Creation also created two races: elves and humans..."

Tao Yu was thinking in his heart while controlling the alien flying dragon to fly towards Gondor.

Although there are other races in Middle-earth, such as dwarves, they were not created by the Creator God. For example, the dwarves were created by a Valar named Aulë, who can also be regarded as the God of Craftsmen.

Both Sauron and Saruman were his servants.

Precisely because the elves and humans were created directly by the God of Creation, even the Valar did not dare to intervene directly in the world over there. It was more of a guidance.

Gandalf the Grey is a typical example. He is more responsible for guiding the intelligent races to fight against Mordor rather than taking part in the fight himself. His status among the Maia is quite high.

Saruman started out in white robes more because he came early, so was allowed to use more power.

The elves created here have the ability of "immortality", not only immortality in lifespan, but they can even reunite in the temple and be resurrected after death. This characteristic is very similar to that of the Valar and Maia, but their power is not enough.

As for the inevitable death of mankind, it is actually a "gift" from the God of Creation.

Because some elves who have lived too long will envy this end of humans.

This was also the reason why the Numenoreans later turned against Tiangang and wanted to attack Aman.

They are so grateful for this 'gift'.

The God of Creation rarely took direct action. I wonder if he was angry out of shame...

"Since humans are bound to die, how did the dead come about? It seems to involve covenants, curses, and oaths."

Tao Yu was a little uncertain about this information. The Human King Aragorn was relying on his ancestor's sword to summon the undead army to attack. Tao Yu was also quite jealous when he saw this.

He can turn quantity into quality. If he can control such a large army that can be summoned at any time without taking up the quota of shadow soldiers, it can be regarded as an additional bonus.

At the same time, it is definitely helpful for digesting the hunter pathway.

"It seems that it can only be the bloodline of the Human King. Is Aragorn's bloodline so powerful..."

Tao Yu knew that King Aragorn was the legal heir to Gondor, but he had been trying to escape his fate, and Gondor had long been ruled by the Regent Prime Minister.

According to Ai's answer, the current 26th Regent Prime Minister is Denethor II.

The lineage of Regent Prime Ministers has ruled Gondor for more than a thousand years!

Let's review the timeline of the Lord of the Rings world. After the creation of the world, the first thing that happened was that a great Valar god 'Morgoth' seduced and tortured the elves and created the orcs called Orcs.

After defeating Morgoth, Maia Sauron, who had defected to Morgoth, began to take action.

At first, the elves and humans in Middle-earth did not know Sauron's ambitions, and he was not a Maia serving Morgoth at the beginning. So they still trusted Sauron in white.

Sauron took advantage of this and bewitched the elves, using their superb forging skills to forge nineteen rings: three rings for the elves, seven rings for the dwarves and nine rings for humans. Then he secretly left a back door and forged the most powerful One Ring himself at Mount Doom.

And corrupt other ring bearers through the One Ring.

Sauron had no hand in the Elves' Ring, and the Dwarven Ring-bearers merely magnified a little greed, but the holders of the Nine Human Rings all degenerated into Ringwraiths.

The essence of the Ringwraiths is also spirits. They were made into armor by Sauron so that they could interfere with the material world. Moreover, they can return and reshape themselves after death, making them almost immortal. The Witch-king of Angmar, the chief of the Ringwraiths, even has a prophecy that "no man" can kill him.

Because he successfully created the One Ring, Sauron became a little inflated and began to expose his ambitions. He began to lead the orcs in a war that swept across Middle-earth. He was then defeated by Gil-galad, the High King of the Elves, and retreated back to Mordor.

What's even more incredible is that Sauron, who had been hiding his power in Mordor for thousands of years, was captured alive by the powerful Númenóreans who directly invaded Mordor before he could launch a counterattack.

But it was precisely because of being captured that Sauron had the opportunity to seduce the Númenóreans.

Eventually, an entire continent was wiped out, and only Aragorn's ancestors and a few Númenóreans who were not bewitched escaped the catastrophe.

Compared to ordinary humans, the Númenóreans usually live two to three hundred years, and Aragorn's ancestor was a blessed half-elf.

The Valar blessed the twins and allowed them to choose whether to be humans or elves. Lord Elrond chose to be an elf, and Aragorn's ancestors chose to be humans.

And he founded Gondor with the remaining Númenóreans.

When the continent sank, Sauron himself was also affected and his body was destroyed, but the One Ring took him back to Mount Doom and completed his reshaping.

He also injected all his power into the One Ring, which then triggered another war.

This time, his fingers were cut off by Aragorn's ancestors, causing the ring to fall and he was defeated again.

However, Aragorn's ancestor could not bear the temptation of the ring and did not choose to destroy it at that time, which resulted in the One Ring falling under the water for more than two thousand years after his death.

Finally, it was accidentally obtained by two hobbits. One of them killed his friend in order to monopolize the ring. Then he lived alone for five hundred years relying on the power of the ring until it was obtained by another hobbit, Bilbo Baggins.

According to the normal process, Bilbo would hold the ring for decades, and voluntarily give it up after he was over a hundred years old. Then his nephew Frodo Baggins would complete the subsequent task of destroying the ring.

But now that the Abyss has fallen, Saruman is still the respected white-robed wizard, and there has been no news about the establishment of the Fellowship of the Ring. It is also unknown when it will be established, and how many changes will there be...

Ang~
The loud dragon roar echoed in the sky, and Tao Yu also looked down and saw the city below.

It is a magnificent city built entirely of white stones.

Miras Tirith, the current capital of the Kingdom of Gondor, is also known as the 'White City'!
The Hidden Cloud Village is located on a rocky mountain range near the "White City" and is a branch of the White Mountains.

However, when Tao Yu passed over the city, he found that the soldiers on the city wall below were on alert as if they were facing a great enemy, and they had taken out bows and arrows and even crossbows.

Seems very fearful.

This suddenly made Tao Yu think of something.

"It seems that the Ringwraiths also like to ride on fallen beasts and wander around..."

The Ringwraiths, who have the ability to regenerate continuously, killed the King of Gondor a thousand years ago, which is the direct reason why the Prime Minister has been in power.

It seems normal to be on guard...
