Douluo: Legend of the Dragon King - The Voice of the Purple Emperor

"That's an order."

"Okay then..."

Long Yuxue said, "You must be very curious as to why there is a legion like ours in the Endless Mountains, a place with such treacherous terrain and harsh living conditions, right?"

Gu You nodded. He knew the general reason, but he couldn't explain it in detail.

For ordinary people, the Endless Mountains are already the westernmost part of the continent. According to the map, after crossing the Endless Mountains, one can quickly reach the West Coast, which is also the most desolate place on the entire continent, precisely because of the barrier of the Endless Mountains.

There were no signs of sea spirit beasts being active or causing damage off the west coast. There wasn't even any human life there, yet by all accounts, the Blood God Legion was an extremely well-trained army.

Why was such a well-trained army stationed here? After that official military exercise, many residents of the Douluo Continent had speculated about this.

But they're all pretty outrageous...

Long Yuxue said, "The Blood God Legion was established 6,300 years ago, and has a history of thousands of years. However, very few people on the continent know about us, because our existence is different from that of ordinary soldiers. We bear responsibilities and missions. Generation after generation of Blood God Legion warriors have been silently protecting the entire Douluo Continent."

Gu You listened attentively.

A hint of wistful reminiscence flickered in Long Yuxue's eyes as she continued, "The reason we protect this place is because a great disaster once occurred here."

"You should know that this mountain range we are in did not originally belong to the Douluo Continent. It was brought here along with the Sun Moon Continent due to tectonic movements. In other words, this place originally belonged to the Sun Moon Continent. Later, the two continents collided and connected, which resulted in the Douluo Continent, which is now almost twice the size. Ten thousand years ago, due to differences in various cultural ideas, war broke out. Eventually, the continent was unified, and after a period of time, the prototype of the current Federation gradually emerged."

"Perhaps due to the collision of two continents causing spatial distortion, a strange spatial passage appeared within this endless mountain range. Simply put, if this place is one space, then in the outside world, in the universe, there are countless planets and countless other spaces inhabited by life. The appearance of a spatial passage could potentially shorten the distance between spaces, even allowing two spaces billions of miles apart to connect through this passage, enabling one to cross into another space in a short time. Do you understand?"

"Understood." Gu You nodded. It was precisely because of this that Tang San's grand plan for ten thousand years became possible, resulting in the sacrifice of thousands of people to complete the evolution of the Douluo plane.

The pros and cons are unfair, but in the long run, the evolution of the Douluo plane is indeed necessary.

However, even if the Douluo plane does not evolve, humanity's soul guidance technology will eventually venture into space to pursue that eternal darkness.

Long Yuxue said, "Such a passage appeared in the Endless Mountains. At first, the entrance to the passage was very small, and because it was located in a remote area, no one discovered it. But as time went by, the passage grew larger and larger, and creatures from another dimension began to enter our Douluo Continent through this passage. We call these creatures Abyssal Creatures."

Gu You nodded thoughtfully. "So, the creatures we encountered in the last assessment were all abyssal creatures?"

Long Yuxue said, "That's clever. When the abyssal creatures began to enter the Endless Mountains in large numbers 6,300 years ago and started to migrate outwards, a great disaster also occurred. Because this disaster occurred in the remote west of the continent, where the population is sparse, and because of the Federation's information blockade, very few people know about it."

"The characteristics of abyssal creatures are destruction and devouring. They devour all living things, whether animal or plant, just like locusts, leaving nothing but barren land in their wake. They are filled with madness, and in a very short time, they wiped out all living things within the Endless Mountains."

"Fortunately, by that time, the Federation's technology had developed to a certain level, and they discovered their existence early on, preventing the disaster from spreading to the interior of the continent. At that time, the Federation mobilized almost two-thirds of its army to besiege these abyssal creatures. With the combined efforts of the four major organizations—Shrek Academy, Tang Sect, Spirit Pagoda, and War God Temple—along with the Federation's eleven mecha legions and countless fixed-position soul-guided cannons, the abyssal creatures were finally driven back into the passage."

"In that battle, more than 200,000 people died. The Tang Sect's Douluo Hall Master of that generation perished in a battle against an Abyss Plane Emperor. Four of the Tang Sect's Shrek Seven Devils of that generation fell, ten of the eighteen War Gods of the War God Hall fell, and three of the four Spirit Transmission Tower's Spirit Transmission Envoys died. Of the three Hall Masters, one died and one was seriously injured. It was extremely tragic."

Gu You gasped. He simply couldn't imagine that so many people had died in just one war of suppression. How many more had died over the thousands of years that followed? Perhaps no one knew.

Only by looking at the events of that time can we understand the power of the four continental organizations. According to Long Yuxue, there should be no fewer than thirty Title Douluo-level experts who participated in that war.

This only includes the truly powerful Super Douluo, Limit Douluo, and ordinary Title Douluo. No one knows how many nameless Title Douluo there are.

"The blood of our ancestors was not shed in vain. The abyssal creatures were driven back to their original plane. Of the seven Emperor-level abyssal powerhouses, five perished in that battle. The leader of the Seven Abyssal Emperors was severely injured by the combined forces of the Tang Sect's Douluo Hall Master and the Sea God Pavilion Master of Shrek Academy, who was also the leader of the Shrek Seven Devils. Countless other abyssal creatures died. Since then, our ancestors forcibly sealed the abyssal passages. Although they couldn't completely seal them off, it has become very difficult for abyssal creatures of King level and above to cross them. The Blood God Legion was also established at that time. Initiated by the four major organizations, it had only one purpose: to protect the passages and prevent the abyssal creatures from descending again."

"We have absolutely no idea where the creatures of the abyss live, but they are incredibly powerful. The demon you encountered should be considered a lord-level abyssal creature, while that enormous Baan is only a leader-level one..."
