Drawing Cards With My Lifespan: Starting By Gamifying Reality

Chapter 63: Demonic Tribulation (1)

Just by listening to the contents of the jade slip, he could roughly understand what had happened in this Taoist temple.

One could even speculate on the reason for the decline and destruction of this Taoist temple to a certain extent.

However, there were still many unanswered questions.

The first thing Su Mo noticed was the Demonic Tribulation mentioned in the jade slip.

According to the research of predecessors, the Origin World was also a world dominated by humans a long time ago.

The environment here was blessed by the heavens, filled with origin power/energy that the human world did not have.

The humans of this world could absorb origin power and continuously cultivate to reach a higher level.

They called this cultivation path cultivation, and the realms were divided from low to high: Qi Refinement, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core…

Originally, this world was flourishing and there were countless mighty figures who could move mountains and overturn seas.

Until one day, the demonic tribulation descended.

Many mighty figures had gone mad, wantonly slaughtering the human world.

However, the impact did not stop there.

Even the disciples at the lowest level and ordinary people began to mutate.

They would become monsters and demons that had lost their rationality and normal form.

The entire world went into decline and destruction in an extremely short period of time.

Later, on this strange foundation, mirage demon, nightmare devil, origin beast, and other monsters were born.

According to the speculations of some official researchers.

These monsters were most likely transformed from the cultivators who had lost control.

They struggled to survive in this polluted land.

Until one day, the Origin World and the Human World collided.

The collision of the two worlds formed a crack that could not be healed.

That was the famous Blood Battle Grounds.

From then on, origin power/energy invaded the human world.

The first Trascendent were born one after another.

They had grasped power, but they were also facing the risk of losing control at any time.

They were all unstable bombs.

These Trascendent formed the Dawn Bureau with the support of the government.

They constantly researched origin power/energy, analyzed data, and experimented on themselves.

After the sacrifice of countless seniors and sages, they finally found the advancement ritual and the high-level path.

After that, the Dawn Bureau expanded crazily. With the power of the saint as the foundation, they suppressed the Transcendents all over the world and unified the world in a very short period of time.

Then, he would integrate the global forces to deal with the unprecedented enemy of the Origin World.

During the few years when the world was unified, the Dawn Bureau only lost a few saint.

However, in the bloody battle with the Origin World nearly 200 years, the number of saint who died in battle alone was as high as three digits.

The peace of the human world was built on the corpses of countless saint.

Otherwise, no matter how many people there were, they wouldn’t be able to kill the monsters.

But even so, Su Mo had learned from the forums that the situation at the front lines was still very tense.

For this reason, the government was closely searching for ways and means to resolve the current situation.

One of the concerns was the demonic tribulation.

As the source of all these disasters, even if they could not completely understand it, just understanding some of the surface situation might be enough to turn the situation around.

However, the Demonic Tribulation had happened too long ago. In addition, the information related to the Demonic Tribulation was basically in the extremely dangerous places of the Origin World. Even Saints might not be able to come out alive if they entered.

Therefore, the research on the demonic tribulation had always been maintained at a relatively shallow level.

And now, the destruction of this Taoist temple was an insignificant ripple brought about by the demonic tribulation back then.

From this, one could see the impact of the tribulation on the entire world.

“By the way, don’t you think it’s strange? Since there were only three people in this temple, who killed the Abbey Dean?

Could it be his crazy second disciple? But that second disciple had already suppressed it.

Or did the attacker come from outside?”

Xue Qiaoqiao asked curiously.

“Is there a need to say that? The one who attacked was definitely his eldest disciple.”

Zhang Zhenyu looked at the sword wound and sighed.

Chu Qingwu nodded and said,

“That’s right. For such a close distance sneak attack, it must be someone familiar.

Moreover, this sword mark could be matched with some of the training marks in the Taoist temple.”

Xue Qiaoqiao widened her eyes in shock.

“But the Abbey Dean is clearly his master. Why is he so rebellious and killing his master?”

“Three possibilities.”

Su Mo replied,”

“Either his eldest and second disciples have gone mad, or they’ve gone mad.

Either his eldest disciple was jealous of his master’s preference for his second disciple and did not want to save him at all.

Or perhaps his eldest disciple felt that his master was about to go crazy, so he made a move ahead of time.

In comparison, I’m more inclined towards the third point.

Look at the tumor on his shoulder. It’s obviously not something a normal person can have.

Perhaps the reason why his body could be preserved until now was related to this tumor.”

Xue Qiaoqiao’s eyes twitched when she saw the fist-sized tumor.

“Indeed. Even if the Head of the monastery hasn’t mutated, he’s probably on the verge of it.”

Chu Qingwu pointed at the words on the jade slip and said,

“Look at the words he wrote on it. The more he wrote, the more blurry it became. It was obvious that he was in a very bad state at that time.

If I were a normal person, I would definitely not be able to resist and attack on the spot if I were to be provoked a little more.”

Xue Qiaoqiao imagined herself in that scene, and her face turned slightly pale.

Seeing this, Su Mo could not help but laugh.

This guy was timid and liked to imagine things. He was really asking for trouble.

After skipping the information revealed by the jade slip, everyone prepared to continue searching the scene.

This place was cleaner than he had imagined.

Furthermore, there were no footprints or traces of battle. It was obviously suspicious.

Perhaps the disappearance of that team was related to the abnormality here.

Less than two minutes later, Xue Qiaoqiao asked curiously,”

“Look at the jade pendant on his body. It seems very unusual.”

As she spoke, Xue Qiaoqiao mustered up her courage and took the jade pendant from the dried corpse’s waist.

Compared to this precious jade pendant, the dried corpse didn’t seem so scary.

However, at this moment, a stern shout came from the field.

“Don’t touch it!”

Looking at Su Mo and Zhang Zhenyu who spoke at the same time, Xue Qiaoqiao’s delicate hand stopped in mid-air and said eagerly,”

“Why?”

Su Mo sighed and said,”

“Why don’t you think about it carefully? The Puppet Master has been in this the Origin World fragment for so long. How can he not check this place?

Such a bright jade pendant was left at the scene. It was obvious that he did not want to take it, but he did not intend to take it at all.

There’s obviously something wrong with this jade pendant.”

Hearing Su Mo’s words, Zhang Zhenyu nodded and said,”

“That’s right. Little Xue, don’t forget how the other team went missing.

Before we find out the reason for their disappearance, we should try not to touch anything here.”

Xue Qiaoqiao retracted her hand in embarrassment, obviously having learned her lesson.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside.

Then, a few figures appeared at the door.

Seeing the leader, Zhang Zhenyu’s expression changed.”

“Wu Rui?”
