Chapter 187: Abyss Master!
As the correct answer was being revealed in the Live Broadcast Room, hundreds of thousands of people had participated in the Q&A, most of whom were ordinary people trying their luck. In the end, only a few thousand answered correctly. Among them, only the first person to get it right received a reward; the rest received neither rewards nor punishments.
The Q&A system simultaneously issued a reward to the first correct respondent and punished those who answered incorrectly. Only after everything was settled did it begin playing the video related to the answer.
In the Live Broadcast Room, the previously paused screen resumed playing.
In the video, the humans on the Douluo Continent were in constant retreat under the relentless assault of the Abyss Demons.
Although these Abyss Demons were grotesque in appearance, with terrifying and ferocious faces that made them seem like beasts devoid of wisdom, the truth was quite the opposite. These demons were highly intelligent, their intellect in no way inferior to that of humans. They even possessed their own civilization and a unique demonic language.
Unlike humans, who have ordinary people as well as the old, weak, sick, and disabled, almost all demons were powerful warriors! The weakest among them were powerhouses equivalent to Great Soul Masters and could wield strange and unpredictable abyssal magic!
What was most outrageous was that not only were these demons strong, but their numbers were also shockingly vast! They were endless, like a swarm of locusts! If judged purely on military strength, the fall of the entire Douluo Continent was merely a matter of time.
To uncover the true nature of these demons suddenly invading the world, various high-level powers of the Human Faction selectively captured some powerful demons, clearly of the commander class, and subjected them to severe torture, hoping to learn some information about them.
Unfortunately, these demons seemed impervious to pain. Faced with severe torture, they did not utter a single word. It wasn't a language barrier; in fact, before the interrogation, the Human Faction had already used a certain soul skill to master the demonic language. Similarly, the demon faction had used comparable magic to learn human language.
Therefore, communication between the two sides was no problem at all.
The demons remained silent primarily due to their fanatical loyalty to the Abyss; they would never reveal the slightest bit of intelligence! Moreover, even if they died, their souls would return to the Abyss and be reborn with their memories intact!
In a sense, these demons were unkillable, utterly repulsive, and incredibly tenacious!
Finally, seeing that they couldn't force any information out of them, the Human Faction didn't give up. Instead, they dispatched Soul Masters specializing in spiritual-type abilities to directly read the memories of these captured demons!
Afterward, information about these demons that had suddenly invaded the world finally revealed the tip of the iceberg to the people of the Douluo World.
These captured demons were not truly high-ranking among their kind; at best, they were low-level grunts. Therefore, the information they possessed was limited to things that weren't considered secrets.
But even this non-secret information was extremely shocking to the people of the Douluo Continent!!
First, this race that had suddenly invaded the Douluo Continent, although now demonic, had originally been human, just like them. Yes, these grotesque-looking demons were once human!
But one day, in the world they inhabited, just as was now happening on the Douluo Continent, a rift tore open in the sky, and an abyssal aura descended. Immediately after, an endless army of demons invaded their world!
They, too, just like the Douluo Continent now, fought with all their might against the invading demons!
But unfortunately, their world ultimately fell. The entire world was completely eroded by the abyssal aura, assimilated as a part of the Abyss itself!
Consequently, the many living beings that survived the demons' rampage, whether human or beast, all transformed into grotesque demons, along with the very world that had been converted into an abyssal realm!
And now, these demons were invading the Douluo Continent with the same intention: to sacrifice the entire Douluo Continent to the Abyss!
What a crazed notion.
The humans who now knew everything fell into a complete panic.
It wasn't just the humans; the Soul Beast Faction panicked as well.
This was because the Abyssal invasion targeted all living beings in the entire world. Their goal was to devour and assimilate the entire world!
Once successfully devoured, the entire Douluo Continent would become a part of the Abyss, and any surviving creatures would be naturally converted into various grotesque Abyss Demons!
They would be bound to the Abyss for all eternity, with no release even in death. Their souls would return to the Abyss, reborn with their memories as lesser demons, continuing to wage war across the starry sky for the Abyss!
After realizing the gravity of the situation, the Human Faction, which had originally fought as separate entities, united, no longer divided by nations. Later, as the war escalated, even the Soul Beast Faction joined them. After all, every living being on the Douluo Continent was now in the same boat. They had no choice but to abandon their prejudices.
If they didn't unite now, they might as well all wait for death!
After all the living forces on the Douluo Continent united, the demon invasion was effectively contained for a short time.
Although demons still occasionally invaded through the abyssal passage in the sky, they no longer posed a significant threat thanks to the concerted cooperation of the united inhabitants of the Douluo Continent.
Victory seemed to be within reach, but unfortunately, this was merely a facade.
As time passed, the people of the Douluo Continent gradually discovered that the demons emerging from the abyssal passage above were growing stronger and stronger!
Demons equivalent to the Titled Douluo level gradually began to appear among the invaders!
Although demons of this level were relatively few, their numbers increased over time. Their strength also continued to grow!
The people of the Douluo Continent knew that killing these invading demons was merely treating the symptoms, not the root cause, because the Abyss was simply too unfathomable. Its ability to run rampant across the universe and invade various worlds... this was something utterly unimaginable to them.
The Abyss was far beyond their ability to resist; continuing to fight would only lead to annihilation! Only by finding a way to close the abyssal passage in the sky could they solve the problem of the invasion once and for all!
However, to close the abyssal passage, they first needed to figure out how it had appeared in the first place.
So, people began to capture Titled Douluo-level demons alive. By reading their memories, they finally understood the cause and effect of the entire situation.
It turned out that the abyssal passage had descended here because someone in their world had performed a summoning ritual, using themselves as a coordinate.
This person had offered the entire Douluo Continent as a sacrifice to the Abyss Master, which was why the Abyss's gaze had fallen upon it.
To stop this sacrificial ritual, the person performing it would have to either interrupt it voluntarily or be killed!
Otherwise, the abyssal passage could not be closed, and the demons coming to this world through it would grow stronger as the Abyss's erosion of the world deepened! In the later stages, it would not be impossible for even god-level demons to pass through.
And the person performing the ritual, by sacrificing the entire world to the Abyss, would naturally gain benefits.
Once the Abyss had completely assimilated and devoured the Douluo Continent, the one who performed the sacrificial ritual would receive the Abyss Master's blessing and become the Demon Lord of this newborn abyssal territory that was once the Douluo Continent!
【So that's how it is, I see!】
【That Tang San sacrificed the entire Douluo World to take all the benefits for himself!】
【Becoming the lord of the Douluo World, isn't that the same as becoming the god of the entire world?】
【No wonder! I was just thinking, who would do something that harms others if there was no benefit in it for them?】
