【Qin Bin: So that’s how it is...】
Xiaobai's words also reminded Qin Bin of the emperors and nobles on Earth who had been crazy about immortality from ancient times to the present.
[Xiao Bai: Xiao Bin, remember, in the Eternal Continent, random killing and arson are hateful, but they are not as hateful as the arrival of a necromancer who feeds on souls, so no matter what, do not associate with a necromancer.]
[Qin Bin: Using souls as food... This is why necromancers always try to create undead disasters. It really makes people hate them even more.]
[Xiao Bai: You can say that, but if it was just as simple as causing great suffering to the people, I wouldn’t emphasize it so much.]
【Qin Bin: What do you mean? 】
[Xiao Bai: To put it simply, in the Eternal Continent, after a life dies, the body and soul will transform into the most basic elements within a certain period of time, returning to nourish the earth. This is also the fundamental reason why the magic civilization of the Eternal Continent can always be brilliant and brilliant, and even after experiencing the near-catastrophic disaster of the last era, it can develop again.]
[Qin Bin: Is the death of living beings...part of the world's cycle system?]
【Xiaobai: Right. Birth, aging, illness and death are the key links in the world's cycle system. They are irreversible laws and iron laws. However, in order to achieve immortality, humans have subverted this link and achieved immortality by devouring souls and flesh. This behavior of only taking without giving is destroying the foundation of the eternal continent's health and longevity.】
【Qin Bin: If this is the case, then aren’t ordinary practitioners like us also just asking for things?】
【Xiao Bai: It's different. Normal practitioners, and even the various immortal races, as long as they are not undead, will provide one day of vitality to this continent for every day they live. The principle and logic are quite complicated, and it is difficult to explain at the moment. You just need to know that normal life forms will produce a certain special energy, which we call "vitality". The stronger the vitality of normal life forms, which can also be understood as the stronger the strength, the more vitality they can produce, and vitality will nourish the entire Eternal Continent, making the magical elements of the Eternal Continent more and more concentrated. In other words, no matter how much the practitioners of the Eternal Continent absorb magical elements to practice, it will not burden the Eternal Continent, but will make the Eternal Continent better and better.】
【Qin Bin: So it’s this kind of positive feedback, ‘vitality’, interesting.】
[Xiao Bai: If you are interested in 'vitality', go find the Life Elves in the future. They are experts in this area.]
【Qin Bin: Okay, continue talking about the Necromancer.】
[Xiao Bai: To put it simply, the path taken by the Necromancer not only does not generate vitality, but also constantly devours vitality.]
[Qin Bin: I understand. If there are no restrictions, once the number of necromancers, or the undead, increases, the world will inevitably enter a state of competition for stock, and will probably eventually destroy the magic civilization of this eternal continent.]
[Xiao Bai: No, it should be said that the entire Nakul will fall into a state of withering and exhaustion. By then, the life forms on this planet will have trouble surviving, let alone magic civilization.]
【Qin Bin: Nakul? 】
【Xiao Bai: Oh, 'Nakul' is the name of our planet in the Elven language. The elves are very advanced in astronomy and geography, and their inheritance has never been broken. They have long determined that the place where we live is a planet and named it 'Nakul', which means 'sanctuary' in the Elven language.
Except for the elves and our dragon race, the other races on the continent have experienced a heritage gap due to the war in the last era, so the development of astronomy is still very limited so far, and they don’t even have the heart to study it. Or maybe they haven’t found the right research method, so some races with backward astronomical development have come up with the speculation that the sky is a cover and the earth has edges. 】
[Liya: Ah... the sky isn't actually a cover... I never thought of that...]
[Sophia: Yeah, I never thought the sky wasn’t a cover...]
【Qin Bin, Xiao Bai, Lin: ......】
The reason why Qin Bin and others were speechless was that although the development of astronomy in the Holy Kana Empire was very rudimentary, there was indeed a theory of planets, and there were some related contents in the astronomy textbooks of the Magic and Martial Arts Academy.
It doesn't matter that Liya is "unlearned and unskilled", after all, she is just a poor student.
But Sofia...
Soon, Qin Bin understood.
Sofia is not a scholar and seems to have no interest in astronomy and geography. It is not surprising that she has no interest in this area of knowledge.
[Lin: You guys really need to learn more knowledge besides cultivation.]
[Liya & Sofia: Ahahaha...]
While Leah and Sophia were smiling awkwardly, Qin Bin thought of another question.
[Qin Bin: Xiaobai, since the Holy Land can fly for a long time, it should be possible to fly directly out of this planet, right?]
[Xiao Bai: In theory, it is possible, but in reality, it is not. The main reason is that the higher you fly, the more magic power you consume, and the less element content in the air, which causes the speed at which the sanctuary's own magic power recovers. Unless there is a sanctuary willing to burn its vitality to provide the magic power required for flying, it will not be able to fly outside.]
[Qin Bin: How thick is the atmosphere? I mean, how far is it from the ground to the sky?]
【Xiao Bai: This... My grandfather did mention it, maybe 70,000 to 80,000 kilometers? I don't remember. By the way, I remember that there was a human sanctuary mage who wanted to fly outside out of curiosity.
As a result, he became exhausted after flying to an altitude of 30,000 to 40,000 kilometers. If his friend had not caught him halfway, he might have become the first Saint to fall to his death in history. 】
[Qin Bin: That's true... Then your grandfather's divine realm can fly out, right?]
【Xiaobai: Of course. My grandfather said that he tried to fly out a long time ago out of curiosity. But he found that there was no air and no sound outside. It was difficult for practitioners who were not good at absorbing light and dark elements to survive. In addition, the moon closest to Nakul was at least a million kilometers away. The sun and other larger planets were even farther away. This led to problems such as whether one could endure the loneliness and the oppressive feeling of the dead silence, not to mention the consumption of flying over.】
Qin Bin nodded suddenly, the scale of the universe is indeed terrifying.
【Xiao Bai: The next question is, what to do when flying out. In Grandpa's time, many people in the God Realm did go out of the sky, but they were all stuck on the question of 'what to do when flying out'. After all, no matter what, life is more comfortable in the Eternal Continent or the Nakul Planet, and no one would go out of their way to seek trouble, so no one went to explore the outer space.】
【Qin Bin: Interesting...】
【Xiaobai: Are you interested in these? 】
【Qin Bin: Yes, my hometown is currently exploring the outer space. Of course, it is only in the initial stage, but there is a lot to look forward to in the future.】
[Xiao Bai: I see... By the way, it seems like we have strayed from the topic...]
[Qin Bin: That’s right. Please continue with the topic of the Necromancer.]
[Xiao Bai: Well, there is nothing more to say... In general, what I said before is to tell you, Xiao Bin, that the Necromancer is the culprit who destroys the survival of our Nakul life form, and therefore, has become a world public enemy that transcends ethnic differences. So Xiao Bin, no matter what you do in the future, don't get involved with the Necromancer.]
【Qin Bin: I remember...】
They were chatting like this, and soon Xiaobai carried Qin Bin into the airspace a few kilometers away from the area where the undead aura was invading.
Xiaobai and Qin Bin were also stopped by a three-person team of Griffin Air Cavalry.
These are the patrol soldiers deployed by the Kana Empire outside the area invaded by the aura of undead.
The Kana Empire has a clear rule that, although adventurers are not prohibited from entering areas infested by the aura of the undead, they must go to a nearby outpost to register before entering, and when they come out, they must return to that outpost for self-paid testing to make sure they are not carrying the aura of the undead or have been directly infested by the aura of the undead before they can "enter the country".
In terms of the degree of martial law, this place is no worse than the border with the Orc Empire.
Under the guidance of the air cavalry, Qin Bin and Xiaobai quickly landed at a nearby outpost that looked like a border town.
Lin and others came out from Qin Bin's shadow.
Lin is a familiar customer and celebrity in this area. After communicating with the person in charge of the area for a while, she took Qin Bin and others to apply for a permit to enter the area infested by the aura of undead.
Just after noon, Qin Bin, watched by several patrolling air cavalrymen and a dozen adventurers, officially stepped into the area eroded by the spirit of death...
Chapter 099: Requiem - A different way of thinking
After walking for several hundred meters in the gray fog that made people feel uncomfortable both physically and mentally, seeing that the density of the gray fog around them increased from light to dark and then to a constant level, and the ground beneath their feet was only dead and rotten, Lin asked everyone to stop.
Lin said, "We have officially entered the erosion area, so let's test it here."
Qin Bin looked back at the thousands of meters away in the gray fog. The patrolling air cavalry and a dozen adventurers had not left yet. Ru was chatting about why Qin Bin and his group of rich and noble people were interested in running to such a filthy place. She also understood what Lin meant.
“It does take an audience.”
Qin Bin said this and took out the [Inferior Purification Spirit Pearl] from his storage ring.
As soon as the purifying spirit bead appeared, it emitted a faint white light. At the same time, Qin Bin and the others felt their physical and mental discomfort quickly subsided, and even the gray fog around them became a little lighter.
"It really deserves to be the nemesis of the aura of death."
After Qin Bin sighed, he squatted down, holding the Purifying Spirit Pearl in his left hand and touching the dry and blackened land that was emitting gray mist with his right hand.
When the earth is eroded by the breath of death, the soil will become dry and black, with no grass growing, and it will also emit gray fog with a rotten smell at all times.
These gray fogs are all highly toxic and can harm life. Ordinary people and low-level practitioners do not have strong enough constitutions, and if they are corroded by the gray fog for a long time, they may very likely lose their lives.
However, as the gray fog gradually spreads in the air, the toxins will quickly weaken. Once the range is wide, the gray fog will become very light, and in the end only visual and olfactory effects will remain, and it will no longer have the ability to harm life.
Of course, for a cultivator like Qin Bin who can barely make it to the stage, even if he stands on the ground where the gray fog emerges, the toxins in the gray fog cannot cause any substantial erosion to Qin Bin and others.
The eroded land is not just the surface land.
The breath of death will continue to erode downwards. Theoretically, as long as the concentration of the breath of death is high enough and exists long enough, it can directly erode to the center of the earth and then spread to the entire planet.
However, the earth, or the planet itself, has the function of purifying the breath of death. It can be said that it is suppressing and purifying the breath of death every moment. Therefore, the breath of death with insufficient concentration cannot exist in the world for a long time.
But once the concentration of the undead aura exceeds the threshold of the planet's own purification capacity, the situation that Qin Bin and others are seeing will occur.
Qin Bin used the weak earth element to sense the situation underground.
It was soon confirmed that the aura of death had penetrated at least a thousand meters underground.
Although it is not necessary to purify every gram of soil to be considered a cure, it is only necessary to purify 70 to 80 percent, and only take into account the territory of Ian and the surrounding Kana Empire, with a total land area of more than 100,000 to 200,000 square kilometers, plus a depth of thousands of meters, the scale of the project is still enough to make one's scalp numb.
At this time, Lin said, "According to a friend of mine, for this level of erosion, we only need to reduce the concentration of the undead aura by about 60 to 70 percent per cubic meter of land. In theory, the land can rely on its own recovery ability to clear the remaining undead aura within a few years. Of course, the lower the concentration of the undead aura, the faster the land will recover."
"Even this is still a huge project... Let's see what the inferior purification beads can do."
As Qin Bin responded, he mobilized the magic power of light to fully activate the inferior version of the Purification Spirit Pearl in his hand. At the same time, he used his mental power to guide the purification energy of the Purification Spirit Pearl to spread and penetrate into the earth.
As the warm and purifying white light grew stronger, it suddenly illuminated the surrounding area within hundreds or thousands of meters. Wherever the white light covered, the dryness and blackness of the earth gradually faded away, and gradually returned to the appearance of normal soil.
At the same time, the gray fog was gradually dissipating, allowing the sunlight to shine more easily onto the earth.
Such a scene naturally fell into the eyes of the patrolling air cavalry and adventurers in the distance.
After they were stunned for a moment, they realized that Qin Bin and others were trying to purify the aura of death.
Then, everyone lost interest.
There is no way. Ever since this land became like this, there have been many official and folk practitioners with various intentions who have tried to purify the earth. It has also shown that the three elements of light, water, and life have a restraining effect on the breath of death, and it has also proved the correctness of various minerals and treasures that restrain the breath of death.
However, that’s all.
This is because after so many years, the purification of countless practitioners is still a drop in the bucket for this vast cursed land.
But when the patrolling air cavalry and adventurers were about to leave, they saw a bright light. The purifying light expanded several times than before, and immediately cleared the undead breath within four to five thousand square meters.
That’s not all. At this moment, the purifying light expanded further, and this time it directly covered an area of nearly 7,000 to 8,000 square meters.
The purifying light did not exist for long; it dissipated in just a few breaths.
After seeing the purifying light dissipate, the patrolling air cavalry and adventurers came to their senses, and quickly went to the purified land, squatted down, and carefully examined and sensed the earth that had turned back into ordinary soil.
They soon confirmed that this purification had purified at least the soil hundreds of meters underground.
In response to this, the patrolling air cavalry and adventurers couldn't help but sigh in unison - they are really rich...
Regardless of what the patrol air cavalry and adventurers thought, Qin Bin also stood up at this time, tossed the inferior purification spirit bead in his hand, which had become a little darker in color, and said.
"For a full-energy purification, the maximum area is about 7,000 to 8,000 square meters."
As Qin Bin spoke, the luster of the inferior purifying spirit bead in his hand gradually recovered.
Qin Bin felt it for a moment and said, "The speed of self-charging is a bit slow. At this speed, it will take several days to fully charge. If we actively infuse magic power, the charging time can be greatly reduced, but our own magic power consumption and recovery will become a problem."
"It's several times stronger than expected." Lin said as calmly as possible, but the excitement in her voice that was difficult to suppress was clearly heard by Qin Bin and others.
Xiaobai, who had long since recovered his human form and was floating beside Qin Bin, folded his arms and tilted his head and said, "It is indeed better than expected, but even so, it seems unrealistic to want to solve the problem in a short period of time..."
"Yes, the key to the problem is still the energy supply... Xiaobai, if my perception is correct, then the breath of the dead is also a kind of elemental energy, right?"
Qin Bin's sudden words made Xiaobai and others pause for a moment, and then they frowned.
Lin even said, "Xiao Binbin, you don't want to transform the aura of the dead, do you? This is indeed a method. Over the years, it has been tried by great wizards, but even the most famous Sanctuary Alchemy Master failed. He concluded that the living cannot drive the aura of the dead... Hmm? Xiao Binbin, do you want to use your ability to create a treasure that can transform the aura of the dead?"
Qin Bin nodded, "Yes, although the cost of trial and error of the law of building out of thin air is very high, we still have some capital on hand, so it's okay to set aside a part of it for trial and error. If it doesn't work, we can only purify it bit by bit. If it works, we save time, effort and money.
Besides, if we can transform the aura of the dead into the purest magic power, then the aura of the dead here will become a resource for our cultivation."
After hearing what Qin Bin said, everyone's eyes lit up and they all expressed their support for Qin Bin's idea.
Qin Bin did not waste any time and immediately began to try to construct a law that could transform undead energy into pure magic power.
For the carrier that this law depends on, Qin Bin only defined an appearance similar to that of a purification spirit bead. He plans to let the system structure itself internally. Presumably, the system will create a carrier suitable for this law based on basic logic.
The reason for doing this is actually because there is no other choice.
Because Qin Bin had no way of knowing what material of carrier was suitable for this law.
After having a general idea of the framework, Qin Bin began to implement it.
The first time, Qin Bin created a 'Death Pearl' that could absorb the aura of the dead, but also release the aura of the dead.
Although it failed the first time, the function of absorbing the breath of the undead has been achieved, which further compresses the scope of manifestation. We only need to add the law of transformation on this basis.
The breath of death is tangible, the purest magic power is also tangible, and the absorption process is also available. The concepts of transformation and storage are also clearer, so after the second trial and error was completed, Qin Bin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, but when Qin Bin saw the 'notes' of the object, he couldn't help but frown.
