Reincarnation space, but the style is wrong

Chapter 112: The Fall of Yuanling
Chen Xingzhi was very interested in the past of the orcs and the Lord of the Abyss, or rather, he was very interested in all the secrets in history.

Besides, since the Lord of the Abyss seemed so easy to talk to, he didn't mind trying to pry some information out of him.

"You said the orcs betrayed you once. What's going on?"

"Oh, this," the Lord of the Abyss recalled again, "It happened not long after the Void Enemy was exiled. I remember that they used some terrible weapon and almost destroyed the entire Federation."

Having said this, it fell into deeper memories, but could not grasp that trace of memory.

"Strange, I can't even remember what they used," it shook its huge head again, "But anyway, almost all races in the Federation were wiped out, leaving only us old guys with tenacious vitality."

"But there is an exception, that is the orcs. For some reason, they were not wiped out, but multiplied. At that time, it was we who provided them with the initial shelter."

"However, when the orcs mastered a supernatural system called 'Witch', those newly born witch gods set their sights on us."

After the Lord of the Abyss finished speaking, he fell into deep thought again.

It is too old. Even with the physique of a fourth-level mid-level, it cannot resist the erosion of time on its thinking. Every time it finishes telling a story from the past, it has to recall it again.

Chen Xingzhi was tactful enough not to disturb it, but instead compared the differences between this history and the royal court records.

The history recorded in the royal court is that the witch was targeted by the strange beasts, but what the Lord of the Abyss said was that the witch took the initiative to betray the strange beasts.

It is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood. Perhaps only those who have experienced that period of history can know the truth.

After waiting for a while, the Lord of the Abyss spoke again:
"Later, neither side could do anything to the other, so they had to sign a contract. Some of us stayed away from the land and lived in seclusion overseas, while others chose to benefit each other and serve as the guardian totem of the royal court."

"So, you are the latter?" Wu Dianfeng asked.

"That's not the case. The title of Totem was just imposed on me by them. My job is to guard the void rift in the abyss."

There was a hint of smile in the tone of the Lord of the Abyss, as if he had thought of something funny.

"For some reason, these Abyssal Orcs are worshipping me even more. They even let me make the decision on choosing their leader. It's as if they have forgotten their past history."

"This may be related to the Yuanling Royal Court's culture of worshipping the strong," Chen Xingzhi answered based on the Yuanling traditions he had learned recently. "All Yuanling tribes have a twisted culture of admiring the strong. If that's the case, it's normal for them to worship you."

After all, the power of the Lord of the Abyss is extremely strong. Even if he has aged to this extent, it cannot change the fact that he is a strong man.

What's more, even when the Zerg attacked the Abyss Royal Court, its overwhelming momentum attracted many Abyss residents to join voluntarily, not to mention the Lord of the Abyss.

Perhaps there is some kind of defect in the blood of these artificially created orcs, which causes them to form such distorted ideas.

"I see." The Lord of the Abyss did not care what the orcs thought of him.

To it, those who can catch its eye are either old creatures who have survived from the Dawn Era to the present, or ancient races that suddenly appeared like Chen Xingzhi and Wu Dianfeng.

When it comes to humans, its not-so-smart brain thinks of a problem it has overlooked:

"I remember that all humans should have been wiped out. Otherwise, I wouldn't have failed to find any after searching for so many years. Where did you come from? Are there any other living humans?"

Chen Xingzhi lied naturally, "We were explorers sent by the Federation to explore the void in the 650th year of the Dawn Calendar. We were just unlucky. Not long after we went out, we encountered a space-time storm and were completely lost."

"We just got rid of the time-space storm not long ago and returned to this world." Wu Dianfeng continued, "It's a pity that when we came back, we found that the Federation had collapsed."

The Lord of the Abyss was half-believing and half-doubting what the two said.

Because after hearing these words, it triggered a certain memory, and remembered that the Federation had indeed sent people to carry out this mission, and those explorers were also lost in the space-time storm.

What it didn't know was that this passage was made up by Chen Xingzhi based on the information he obtained from the ruins of the research institute. In order to make it seem more natural, he even specially wove a vague memory to deceive himself.

After a brief thought, the Lord of the Abyss decided to put aside these doubts, return to the abyss and sleep until he died, no longer having to worry about his duty of guarding the void rift.

Anyway, the void rift cannot be erased, and the seal will disappear soon. Instead of continuing to guard the rift, it is better to sleep well when encountering difficulties.

"Can you take us to the abyss to take a look at the seal?" Chen Xingzhi suggested. He wanted to see if touching the seal would have any unexpected effects.

For example, triggering hidden tasks.

The Lord of the Abyss did not refuse his request, but only reminded the two to be careful of certain dangers in the abyss.

For example, the souls sleeping in it, and the pollution of the void rift.

As for other dangerous factors, the Lord of the Abyss felt that they were not dangerous to the two of them.

The two men and one beast headed towards the abyss behind the royal court. Before setting off, Chen Xingzhi deliberately changed his body to one that was adapted to the deep-sea environment, instead of using his true immortal incarnation to dive into the abyss, in order to avoid losing an incarnation in case of an accident.

He also ordered the Zerg to continue its previous mission, which was to occupy the entire Abyssal Spiritual Court.

The swarm of insects, which had originally stopped due to the appearance of the Lord of the Abyss, bared their fangs again and continued their previously unfinished tasks.

The new witch chief who was hiding in the dark finally gave up hope. When he saw that their totem was connected with the two invaders, he looked incredulous.

Fortunately, she would no longer have to worry about this problem soon, because the Zerg army had surrounded her and gave her two choices with the same results.

Seeing that the royal court was doomed, she was furious and chose to join the Bairen Cult, devoting her life to spreading the gospel of humanity.

The Yuanling Royal Court has already fallen, and Chen Xingzhi also saw the legendary souls of the abyss mentioned by the Yuanling residents.

It is unknown how long these ghosts have been sleeping in the abyss. Thanks to the special environment of the abyss, their souls remain intact.

However, according to the Lord of the Abyss, these ghosts have already lost their minds, and as soon as they wake up they will indiscriminately attack all living things around them.

Even the Lord of the Abyss will be attacked by them.

In other words, it has thick skin and flesh, and these ghosts cannot cause much harm to it, which is why it can stay here.

In order to avoid disturbing the dead souls, they swam forward silently.

The surroundings grew darker and the sea water grew colder. Only the crystal inlaid on the body of the Lord of the Abyss was still emitting a faint light.

Fortunately, Chen Xingzhi and Wu Dianfeng are not ordinary people. One has a specially modified body, and the other's physique has also been cooked to be extremely strong.

These environmental impacts are nothing to them.

After traveling in the abyss for an unknown period of time, the voice of the Lord of the Abyss finally rang in their minds.

"Here we are. The seal is inside."

Chen Xingzhi used his psychic energy to sense and determined that a man-made facility was right in front of him.

According to the information fed back by psychic energy, the facility seems to be well preserved.

There is magical energy attached to its surface, and Chen Xingzhi guessed that this might be the reason why it can survive here for so long.
