Absolute Destiny Game-Chapter 433 - 47: Hidden Mission

In the beginning, the demons could only feel the strange and sinister force emanating from the Demon Star.

But soon, some demons couldn’t resist peeling off the flesh and blood from the Demon Star and devouring and refining it.

And almost immediately, they found that it greatly increased their demon power and even caused them to transform and evolve. freewēbnoveℓ.com

Not only did the Demon Star enhance demon power, but it also completely unleashed the demons’ Demon Nature.

This so-called Demon Nature is simply the beast instinct.

Different beasts have different natural instincts, but there are two instincts that are the same among them.

These are the most basic abilities of a beast: one is hunting and eating, and the other is mating and breeding.

As the influence of the Demon Star deepened, the whole area around the Demon Star suddenly turned into a large-scale feeding frenzy.

At first, it was just isolated incidents, individual fights among demons, with the victor devouring the loser, which is a common occurrence among demons. But soon, the battles became increasingly frequent.

Cultivation turned into slaughter, and demons quickly realized that consuming the weaker was much faster and more convenient than normal cultivation. The demons began to engage in various coercive or non-coercive mating activities, not only devouring each other.

Different species and categories of demons would devour and merge with each other.

Constantly breeding, the strong grew stronger, giving birth to countless hybrid offspring. Normally, different groups of demons would have trouble producing offspring, but under the influence of the Demon Star’s power, they were surprisingly successful.

Despite huge differences between species, they were able to successfully breed offspring.

So much so that within a few short years around the Demon Star, many strange and bizarre demon offspring were born, offspring upon offspring, continually merging.

There were even instances where one demon possessed the traits of over a dozen different species.

At last, among the horde of demons, a powerful Demon King emerged. It commanded the horde and constructed a hundred-foot-high tower around the Demon Star. The demons continued their evil deeds within the Demon Star Tower, breeding more offspring, continuing to devour each other, eliminating the weak... This is how the Demon Star Tower came to be.

Over the following decades, the power of the Demon Star Tower grew and multiplied, and one day it launched a full-scale assault on the Nine States. Countless hybrid monsters poured out of the Demon Star Tower, sweeping through Canglin State.

These monsters were so twisted and terrifying that even the demons who saw them felt deep fear and awe, and could only keep retreating in the hopes of surviving.

Canglin State quickly fell, and the Demon Star Tower continued its attacks on the Nine States. At that time, it was an unspoken agreement of the empire, and the last Dragon Emperor summoned a great army to battle the Demon Star Tower but still struggled to resist.

In that critical moment, fortunately, a Group of Immortals descended to the mortal world, defeated the Demon King with powerful Immortal Law, and pushed the demon army back into the Demon Star Tower, completely destroying it.

And they left behind three scrolls of the Heavenly Book in Canglin State to educate the demons there, in order to prevent more demons from falling into the Evil Path.

However, whatever the Demon Star was, even the power of the Group of Immortals could only destroy it but was unable to completely annihilate it. Its shattered flesh had taken root under the ground, around the Demon Star Tower new strange red plants sprouted, producing fruit-like tumors. Those fruits, resembling flesh and blood, when consumed would grant the demons great strength.

Probably what Niu Dali and Li Jinlin ate were those Demon Fruits.

Over the next several hundred years, the ruins of the Demon Star Tower gradually gathered scattered demons again, more and more, until they eventually reassembled a large army and rebuilt the Demon Star Tower.

Luckily, at this time I had already taken over as the State Governor. When the Demon Star Tower was destroyed, the last Dragon Emperor, to prevent the resurgence of the demon army, built a great wall.

I founded the Canglin Heavenly Feather Army, stationed upon the wall, preventing the forces of the Demon Star Tower from advancing northwards. However, while defense was easy, completely destroying the Demon Star Tower was even more difficult.

Hearing this, Xiao Jie suddenly understood, so there was such a past, and then a doubt arose in him.

"If that is the case, why not seek the help of the Group of Immortals now?"

Master Xiao Yue scoffed with a cold laugh, "Humph, that group of cowardly rats has already been scared witless by the prophecy, hiding away somewhere, not daring to show themselves."

Xiao Jie was curious as well, "What exactly are the Immortals afraid of?"

"The Fourth Calamity!"

Xiao Jie was stunned for a moment, "What is that?"

"I heard it from that old dog Kaiyang, that when the Group of Immortals gathered, they performed the great divination, predicting the calamities of the world for forty-nine days, and revealed that there will be four calamities in all.

The first is called the Evil Demon Calamity, when the sky is torn, and the Outer Heaven Demon invades.

The second is called the Yin Sha Calamity, when the Ghost Gate opens, and the Netherworld’s soldiers invade.

The third is called the Demon Nature Calamity, when the Demon Star descends, causing a disaster of myriad demons.

As for the fourth calamity, they tried and tried but couldn’t predict what kind of disaster it would be at all. They only foretold that this calamity would completely destroy the Jiuzhou World. After the calamity passes, the Nine States will be desolate, the heavens and earth will collapse, and all things will perish.

They did everything they could but couldn’t figure out what kind of disaster would be so fearsome. As the day of the disaster approached, the Immortals all went into hiding."

Xiao Jie listened with some speculation in his heart – could the Fourth Calamity refer to the players?

No wonder he would make such an association; after all, he had read quite a few novels about the Fourth Calamity.

But thinking about it, he felt it was unlikely. Although players have significant destructive power, that’s in other games, where players can resurrect infinitely and naturally cause all sorts of troubles.

And the number of players is extremely large; only then can they cause catastrophic disasters, even to the point of completely ruining the game.
