Chapter 542 Background of the Abyss Plane
Chapter 542 Background of the Abyss Plane
Through the teleportation array of Jinyan City, Gu Yeming's current location is also within a city.
Unlike the scorching heat of Cinder City, this city is more eerie and terrifying. Compared with the arrogance and tyranny of the demons, it looks more like a city governed by some other creatures.
Based on the information in his mind, Gu Yeming immediately knew what kind of abyss creature governed the city he was in.
Yuan Ghost City, devil.
This is an abyss race that is completely opposite and opposed to the abyss demons.
In the Abyss, shortly after the birth of the original demon, the devil was born in the gap between the fierce collision of order and chaos.
At that time, the abyss demons expanded recklessly with their brutal force, destroying all lives wherever they went, and the little order in the abyss plane was almost on the verge of collapse.
In this crisis, the devil came into being.
They are completely different from the abyss demons. They are not satisfied with simple destruction and killing. Instead, they try to build an order system dominated by them through strict systems and cold calculations to check the disorderly destruction of demons and maintain a certain "order" in the abyss plane in the chaos.
In order to consolidate their own power, the demons expanded wantonly in the abyss.
A large number of creatures from the abyss have been bewitched by it, endowed with characteristics and functions unique to the devil.
Unlike the chaos and disorder of the abyss demons, the devils have established strict laws and hierarchies to ensure that every member can perform their duties and maintain the stable operation of their own forces.
Not only that, when the abyss demons expanded their invasion wars to other dimensions, in order to expand their power, the devils signed soul contracts with intelligent creatures in the dimensions and silently collected souls.
They use the desires of the plane's intelligent creatures, such as wealth, power, love, etc., to set traps and induce them to sign contracts.
Once the contract takes effect, the devil gains control over the soul, successfully infects and assimilates it, and makes it a part of the devil, becoming a coolie or a tool of war.
This kind of soul trading not only allowed the devil's power to continue to grow, but also caused serious damage to the morality and order of many planes of the world.
Since its birth, the devil has been closely connected with darkness, evil, and order. With its unique way of existence, it has left an indelible mark of terror in the history of many planes.
As the overlords of the abyss, the demons naturally cannot allow the powerful force of the devil to develop at will. Similarly, the "order" constructed by the devil is simply unnecessary for them.
Although both are part of the Abyss Plane, their ideas and ways of doing things are completely different.
Demons worship chaos and destruction, and pursue unrestrained destruction.
The devil desires order and control, and tries to achieve his own rule by establishing rules.
In the eyes of all abyss demons, even the original demons, they believe that chaos and disorder are what all life pursues.
As a result, due to differences in ideas and styles of doing things, a war of enormous scale broke out between the two abyss races representing "chaos" and "order".
The war that broke out between the two races was like an unextinguishable fire that quickly swept across the entire abyss plane.
In this protracted conflict, every inch of land has become a battlefield.
As the war continued, the demons of the abyss were shocked and angry to find that the devil, who was once so weak in their eyes, had one day grown to the level where they could compete with them.
Moreover, compared with demons, devils are better at using their brains and strategies. A large number of demons suffered greatly in the war, and the number of deaths was almost three to four times that of demons.
But the number of abyss demons was extremely large, and their military strength far exceeded that of the devil, so both sides paid a heavy price in the war.
The devil began to realize that it would be difficult to completely defeat the devil through conventional military confrontation alone.
So, they turned their attention to other dimensions.
The devil used the soul contracts signed with the intelligent creatures in the plane to recruit a large number of fallen people to form an army and launch a surprise attack on the demons.
These controlled intelligent creatures in the plane not only possess brains that the devil cannot match, but can also act as cannon fodder at critical moments to gain strategic advantages for the devil.
At the same time, the devil also secretly supports other abyss races in the abyss plane to distract the demons' attention and weaken their vitality.
Ever since the conflict between demons and devils broke out, wars have broken out from time to time due to friction, and there have been hundreds of such wars so far.
Each war would last for hundreds of years. After the long war, the two behemoths that originally occupied the abyss planes suddenly became scarred and no longer had the momentum to crush other abyss races.
You should know that many races in the Abyss Plane were infected and assimilated by the expansion of demons and devils. Although they have become part of the Abyss Plane, they still have a deep hatred for demons and devils.
Therefore, other abyss races took this opportunity to unite and attack the demons and devils. The power of a large number of abyss races united should not be underestimated.
If the demons and devils were at their peak, they would naturally not look down upon these weak races who once could only kneel down and beg for alms.
But because of the long war, even the original demons had to admit that the heyday of demons and devils had completely disappeared.
The once oppressed finally got their rights.
The former struggle between two major races has now turned into a three-way competition.
Demons, devils, and other races of the abyss.
The once oppressed abyss race finally gained its own status and rights.
And this is why Gu Yeming discovered on the 837th floor that the Cinder Flame City representing the Flame Demon clan was not the only one in power. The Snake Demon Tribe and the Abyss Giants each occupied one side and jointly ruled the resources of the first floor.
Back to the point, although the devil and the demon have huge differences in their ideas and ways of doing things, and fierce conflicts often break out, in some cases, they will temporarily join forces for common interests.
When a powerful external force threatens their survival, the devils and demons will put aside their conflicts and form an abyss coalition to fight against the common enemy.
For example, the current insect plague: the world-eating star worms.
The appearance of the Devouring Starworms finally eased the fierce conflicts within the Abyss plane. All Abyss races had to unite, including demons and devils, to resist the horrific Zerg from the cracks in time and space.
The power of the three major forces combined is undoubtedly terrifying.
The demons' inherent mighty strength, the devil's schemes and calculations, and the other abyss races' various magical powers, these three added together, even the Devouring Starworm felt particularly troubled, and could not find any way to successfully devour in a short period of time.
What's more, they also invaded the weird and many other dimensions at the same time?
