Chapter 1: :abyss! abyss!

Phantom Continent - a prosperous and prosperous world full of countless miracles. On this continent, there are countless magical races with various powerful forces and extraordinary beings with overwhelming power...

In this world, there are thousands of races, and the competition with each other is fierce. After passing through several epochs of racial hegemony - finally, at the end of the Wanzu Era, several powerful races whose hegemony status was recognized by Wanzu were born on the continent.

A family of elves in the forest of nature.

A dragon clan living in seclusion on the mysterious Dragon Island.

The orcs that spread across the endless plains.

The ubiquitous family of monsters.

A goblin with magical alchemy skills.

The sea clan in the boundless ocean and the only human empire standing in the most fertile area of ​​the continent, the southern plains - the Os Empire!

And the gods who live in the city of the sky known as the "city of gods that never fall", and the thunder titans that exist on the holy mountain of thunder... In addition, countless weaker races are also spread across the continent. Thriving everywhere…

But even so many races and beings only occupy about three-fifths of the land of this continent. Even with a population of 10 billion in the human empire, the southern plains are vast and sparsely populated.

In order to ensure the prosperity and strong status of their own races, the major hegemonic races began to seek peace, and finally, through various explicit or covert means, in 1930 in the Era of Wanzu, the "Agreement of Wanzu" was established in the royal city of the human empire— The city that never falls is signed.

The agreement stipulates that wars between races and races shall not be provoked without sufficient reason, and large-scale wars shall not be waged between nations. If it is violated, it will suffer the joint annihilation of all the dominant races.

With the signing and rapid spread of the agreement, and the annihilation of several powerful races and countries that ignored this agreement, this vast but war-torn continent began to usher in an unprecedented peace...

In 2020, the Era of Ten Thousand Nations, the Magic Guild was established, marking the beginning of the knowledge of magic to be fully open to civilians and citizens, as well as many low-born beings. The number of magicians began to increase sharply, and countless creatures with magical talents have stepped into the field of magicians.

In the same year, the Warriors Guild, the Alchemy Guild, the Assassin Guild, the Knights Guild and other guilds were successively established with the support of the major overlord races. Countless ordinary beings without magical talent have also become powerful professionals through various guilds.

In 2280 of the Wanzu Era, the proportion of professionals in all lives has risen from 100,000 to 1 at the beginning of the era to an astonishing 1,000 to 1! At this moment, the Illusory Spirit Continent has ushered in the most glorious era, and a new era has arrived.

Historically known as the Holy Era!

In the 120th year of the Holy Era, the major races flourished, and the population increased by one to ten times! With the help of the magic alchemy technology developed in the Phantom Continent, countless wastelands have been developed into fertile fields and cities, so that all major races can perfectly withstand the pressure brought by the population. So far, although Wanzu still only occupies three-fifths of the territory of the mainland, these three-fifths have been used perfectly, and the population has reached the optimal balance point! Magical powers such as magic, vindictiveness, and alchemy have also developed by leaps and bounds. Wanzu began to turn their attention to the remaining two-fifths of the land - the barren land.

In the 130th year of the Holy Era, when the major races were actively preparing to develop the northern wasteland, and when they sent a pioneering army to conduct a preliminary exploration of the wasteland... disaster suddenly came.

abyss

A title that represents an endless nightmare!

A being that brings despair to countless worlds!

A terrifying plane of countless fallen and evil races. Darkness, despair, terror, nightmares, and evil are synonymous with them, and they have gone through countless years of battle and destruction.

After it perished a powerful plane, it finally sprinkled terror and despair on the Illusory Continent.

And the place where the abyss descends is the depths of the barren land in the north of the Illusory Continent.

Before the pioneering army was swallowed up by the first abyss army, they finally tried their best to issue a warning to all the forces and extraordinary beings in the continent, and it was the only warning. When they received this warning, all the forces were horrified. , they know all too well the horrors of the abyss.

No force has a fluke mentality, because when the abyss occupies a plane, it will turn all the occupied places into an abyss environment, and creatures that surrender to them or are defeated and still have corpses will also be transformed into abyss species.

When all the races reacted and prepared to make an alliance, the army of the abyss had already occupied most of the territory of the barren land. Hundreds of space passages leading to the abyss plane were opened, causing the number of the abyss army to skyrocket rapidly!

After the abyss creatures occupied the barren land, they immediately began to invade the realm of ten thousand races, that is, the territory occupied by the life of the Illusory Continent. After the destruction of several small races in the abyss, the first to react was the Os Empire, which is the strongest in overall strength.

A battle that is enough to be recorded in the annals of Phantom has also kicked off...

The Knights of Light, one of the eight most powerful Knights of the Os Empire, with a total of 200,000 people! All are Paladins with level 8 strength! Its leader is a powerful and terrifying **** knight!

But this time, the Knights of Light did not bring the light of victory, and dozens of battles ended in disastrous defeats. Facing the abyss army that was a thousand times its own, the Knights of Light suffered heavy losses, and most of the Paladins were buried here. …

In Holy Era 132, the Knights of Light launched their last charge against nearly one billion abyss creatures. One hundred thousand paladins flashing with the power of light launched a suicide attack towards the endless darkness like a mayfly shaking a tree. Under the shroud of light, no one flinched. For the sake of the knighthood in their hearts, they were not afraid of death!

Integrity, bravery, light, fearlessness, kindness and...guardian.

The soldiers of the 100,000 Knights of Light, after breaking through the formation of the abyss army, their leader did not hesitate to lead the remaining 30,000 knights to turn around again and rush into the boundless darkness again... In this battle, the world changed color. .

This battle was extremely tragic. When all the knights died in battle, the leader of the **** knight, who was only one person, looked at the endless abyss army in all directions and smiled, full of light and indifference...

No one knows what happened afterward, but listen to the statement of a monster not far away - an endless black 'ocean', constantly shining with golden light, until four days later, the golden light gradually changed. weak until it dissipates...

The swearing resistance of the Knights of Light has won for more than seven days for all ethnic groups! Shortly after the death of the Knights of the Light God, countless armies composed of ten thousand tribes began to march to the front line! Countless warriors used their flesh and blood to resist the invasion of darkness again and again.

When facing the abyss, as long as the mainland life has the things he loves, even the weakest soldier becomes extremely brave.

The fire of war is coming again.

In the 190th year of the Holy Spirit Era, after decades of war, the abyss has occupied half of the continent.

But the Wan clan has also established a super defense line in the center line of the mainland that is hundreds of thousands of kilometers wide and more than a billion kilometers long! Countless forts and floating fortresses made of various metals and materials, and even the city in the sky, spread on the endless defense line, hundreds of magical city walls tens of millions of kilometers long, and the submarine fortresses all over the ocean defense line. , mobile fortresses and magical barriers, finally blocking the abyss army from the defense line.

During the establishment of the defense line, countless phantom creatures gave their everything, humans, orcs, goblins, elves, sea clan, dragon clan, beasts, even Titans and gods...

As this super line of defense known as the 'Eternal Frontier', built by all races with all the resources available for decades, was completely established, the abyss was completely blocked, and the races that had been prepared for a long time began to develop military strength on a large scale And major related industries, accompanied by batches of young and brave lives to the defense line. Just like the name of the line of defense, they will always dedicate their everything to this super line of defense, because they have no way back.

In the 210th year of the Holy Era, the Space Magic Array came out. In an instant, the distance that was incomparably far became close at hand. The mobilization of the army was more than ten thousand times more convenient. The All Nations Alliance and the Abyss entered a period of confrontation.

However, the abyss plane still drives billions of abyssal creatures to attack the 'border' every month. Under the action of the city walls and various defense facilities, the coalition forces repelled the abyss troops at a very small cost every time.

However, in terms of the number of abyss creatures and the terrifying speed of reproduction, it is the mainland creatures that are constantly losing their strength. In 220, the covenant was formally concluded.

At this point, the Holy Alliance was born.

At the same time, Wanzu's originally planned defensive strategy has also become half-offensive and half-defense, in order to make a turnaround.

Immediately afterwards, all the guilds in the mainland also attended a strict reward and punishment system. UU reading www.uukanshu.com made some hesitant professionals start to go to the front.

However, after the abyss suddenly broke through two tens of billions of abyssal creatures and an army of abyss, as well as tens of thousands of fortresses and nearly a hundred war cities, all forces immediately decided not to retain their strength, except to maintain public security and Except for the security forces in important areas, all other troops were dispatched to the defense line areas, and at the same time, most of the resources also began to completely tilt the defense line military construction.

Even as forbidden spell-level magic began to bless the city walls, fortresses and enchantments, it finally blocked several large-scale attacks from the abyss.

240 years of the Holy Era.

The scale of the eternal frontier has been completely solidified, the quality has begun to rise, and the resistance to the abyss has also increased. Continental creatures gained a breath of relief, and the ten thousand clans also took advantage of this time to begin to count the losses over the past hundred years. As the detailed statistical data were displayed in front of the various clans, all clans were suddenly mourned.

one fifth!

One-fifth of the life of the entire continent has all been reduced to bones in the past hundred years. The high-end combat power lost a quarter!

If this level of casualties was in the Era of Ten Thousand Clans, it is estimated that all life on the continent at that time could be wiped out once or twice!

Because the abyss gradually reduced the scale of the attack, the ten thousand clans, who suffered heavy losses, entered a short period of self-cultivation.

But everyone knows: this is just the calm before the storm...

In the 260th year of the Holy Spirit Era, it was another twenty years, and another generation of young people grew up, which also means that another group of young warriors began to go to the battlefield.

But this time is different.

This time, even a year that the entire abyss will never forget.

Because this is the beginning of their nightmare...
