After a long, long time, Aguan put down his hands and opened his eyes, but he couldn't believe what he saw - his hands were covered with blood, his body was covered with blood, his face, feet, roads, surrounding houses, cars, streets , it’s all blood!
There was blood mist and blood rain in the sky. The big ball in the sky was gone, but the clouds were dyed blood red, and the large and small buildings in the city were stained with red and black blood.
Passers-by went crazy and were fighting each other everywhere. In every store there were people destroying and grabbing things. Some people put food in their mouths as soon as they grabbed it, looking like hungry mad dogs. Cars collided one after another, and there was a brawl as the drivers got out of the car. There were several explosions, and the buildings began to catch fire. Someone fell from the stairs, and there were wailing and roaring sounds all around.
Aguandai stood on the street, watching several men beating a pregnant woman holding a child in front of her. The child was torn alive, broken into pieces and scattered on the ground; the pregnant woman's clothes were stripped off, her face was covered with blood and she could no longer move, while several men were taking turns raping her.
A familiar scream made Aguan turn around, and Lin Shan ran out of the store. She fell, struggled to stand up, and covered her left hand with her right hand. Her left hand was obviously injured. A figure behind her chased her with a weapon - it was the cheerful boy.
Aguan shouted, and he saw the cheerful boy looking extremely ferocious at this time, holding a fruit knife in his hand and chasing Lin Shan.
Lin Shan's foot was also injured and she ran forward with a limp. Aguan wanted to step forward to save her, but his feet were still nailed to the ground and he could not move. He could only wave his hands and open his mouth, not knowing what to do.
Lin Shan ran towards Aguan, and Aguan stretched out his hand to give her a hand. When the distance between their hands was less than ten centimeters, Aguan heard Lin Shan wailing. The cheerful boy had already rushed forward and stabbed Lin Shan's shoulder with a knife, overwhelming her... One knife after another slashed at her thin body. Physically.
"Stop!" Aguan desperately wanted to move forward to stop what was happening in front of him, but he could not move forward at all. He could only watch Lin Shan gradually stop moving.
He saw Lin Shan's bright red blood flowing from the wound and mixing with the black and red blood on the ground.
The cheerful boy finally stopped, stood up like a zombie, and licked the bloody knife in his hand. Then he walked towards the others and continued killing people.
Aguan squatted on the ground holding his head, panting, and stared blankly at the cheerful boy killing people, and then being killed.
Gradually...the surroundings became quiet and dark. Aguan found himself crying. He didn't know whether it was fear or sadness.
"If you don't want to see this happen, you have to try to stop it." An old voice said this to Aguan.
The old man appeared in front of Aguan again. Aguan raised his head and looked at the old man in front of him with tears in his eyes. It was pitch dark all around, and Aguan could only vaguely see the old man.
Aguan wiped his tears and asked: "What on earth is going on... am I dreaming? Why... this dream..."
"This is not a dream, this is the catastrophe that is about to happen. You can think of it as a prophecy." The old man replied.
"I...don't understand."
The old man pointed to the sky, and Aguan saw some images appearing in the sky. It was a square. The square was very large, surrounded by buildings that looked like ancient palaces. There were palaces, guards, and chess pieces. The ground was covered with stone slabs engraved with patterns of dragons, phoenixes, turtles, and lins.
There is a tripod in the center of the square. The tripod is also very large, almost as big as the surrounding palaces. There is a stone statue beside each of the three feet of the tripod, namely a unicorn, a phoenix and a tiger.
The old man turned his head and looked at the scene in the sky. He was silent for a long time before slowly speaking: "The ancient gods in ancient times, after countless failures, finally created the most lively and high-level creation in the world. Creatures...people." The old man especially emphasized the word "people".
"Human beings have extremely high wisdom and infinite potential. They are the best and most extreme beings in the world. They are the only beings that have the ability to transcend all living things and rule the entire mortal world in place of gods. People have compassion, will take care of the weak, and have Sympathetic and kind-hearted. But..." The old man said this, paused, and continued -
There is more evil in people's hearts...
People constantly radiate evil, greed, jealousy, and hatred in their hearts... One person's evil thoughts will affect many people. Everyone has more or less evil thoughts. If they are constantly infected and accumulated, people will eventually become demons. .
In order to suppress human evil, the ancient gods built a tripod. This tripod combines thousands of minerals from heaven and earth and is carefully crafted by heavenly craftsmen to absorb evil thoughts emanating from living beings.
Just like your garbage dump in this world, this cauldron is filled with the ugliest things in this world. The god placed the tripod on a star in the distant sky. Everyone called this star the "Sui Xing".
Therefore, the Sui star has represented evil, disaster and misfortune for thousands of years.
"I am the god who has been in charge of the year star for thousands of years. Everyone calls me - 'Tai Sui'." The old man closed his eyes and spoke slowly.
"Tai Sui..." Aguan seemed to understand, trying hard to think about this word that he had heard but didn't understand very well. Naturally, he was clueless, and Aguan just blinked and looked at the old man.
The old man looked towards the sky. Aguan followed the old man's gaze and saw that in the scene in the sky, there were indeed waves of black mist surrounding the cauldron. The black mist swirled around the cauldron and slowly floated above the cauldron. When the black mist came into contact with the nine round holes on the cauldron's cover, it was sucked into the cauldron.
"For thousands of years, I have been regarded as a vicious god by the people, and most of the gods in the sky are unwilling to deal with me. In their eyes, Sui Xing is a place that harbors dirt and evil and gathers all the evil in the world. Naturally, I don't like him either..." the old man said, minding his own business.
"This Taisui Cauldron on the Suixing has been absorbing evil thoughts from the world for thousands of years. Although it cannot completely absorb all the evil thoughts, it has absorbed nine out of ten, which is enough to maintain a peaceful balance between good and evil in the world. "
"However, in recent hundreds of years, the number of people has increased exponentially, and the evil thoughts in the world have also increased exponentially. The Taisui Cauldron has long been unable to bear the load. The evil thoughts gathered in the cauldron have been saturated, but new evil thoughts are constantly being sucked in. In about a hundred years A while ago, a crack appeared on the Taisui Cauldron, and some evil thoughts overflowed from the crack and fell into the world. Mortals were infected by those evil thoughts, and after ten years, an unprecedented catastrophe broke out in the world."
"Catastrophe?" Aguan was puzzled.
"In that catastrophe, people killed people, people killed people, people killed people. In addition to killing people, they still killed people." The old man closed his eyes and slowly told -
At that time, Tianjie spent a lot of effort to repair the crack in the Taisui Cauldron. But it could not last for twenty years, and three more marks opened on the cauldron, spilling more evil thoughts. Also ten years later, a greater catastrophe befell the world. Countless people fought, lost their lives, suffered, and cried in this catastrophe.
That's purgatory.
The gods finally recognized the fact that the Taisui Cauldron had reached its limit and could no longer keep up with the growth of mortals. While we were repairing the Taisui Ding, we also started building the second Taisui Ding. The capacity of the second Taisui Cauldron is one million times that of the first. It is expected to take approximately eighty years to complete.
But the worst thing is that in the past fifty years, the number of human beings has increased faster and faster, and the evil thoughts emanating from them seem to be overwhelming.
Just two hundred and sixty-seven days ago, the Taisui Cauldron finally collapsed and exploded. The entire cauldron exploded, and all the evil thoughts in the cauldron exploded outward from the Sui Star, covering the entire heaven.
What a nightmare.
The influence of evil thoughts is far greater than we imagine. More than two-thirds of the gods were affected by evil thoughts and degenerated into evil gods. These evil gods launched a war against the righteous gods and occupied heaven and the four stars. And those gods who have not yet been conquered by evil thoughts protect the unfinished New Taisui Cauldron and retreat to the human world...
When the old man said this, he opened his eyes, looked at Aguan and said: "The evil thoughts entrenched in the sky have gradually come down. The scale of the evil thoughts this time is dozens of times greater than the previous two. Even though mortals have physical protection, they cannot be like this." The first two times when evil thoughts overflowed, it took ten years before they broke out. Soon, the tragic situation you just saw will come true. All the scenes you don’t want to see will be staged. The tragedy of people killing people will soon reappear, and the human world will Purgatory is coming again.”
