816 Chapter 816
In the northernmost part of the firmament world, there was a large world called the heaven domain.
This place had once been incomparably prosperous. Relying on the local forces that constantly plundered resources from the outer realms, this world had a huge stock of resources. After that, with the cooperation of all the major forces, the heaven domain world was once built and upgraded to the spiritual realm. It was one of the few special worlds in the outer realm that could upgrade the level of the spiritual Qi of the entire world.
However, with the invasion of a type of alien creature, this place had completely changed.
The creatures that came had a special name,"fear." They liked to eat fear and grow. The fear of the strong was their favorite food.
They sealed off the heaven domain world, imprisoned all the creatures in it, and began to spread fear.
In terms of strength, although the fearful zergs were not as strong as the insect race, they were still a well-known plundering force in the outer realm.
They didn't have a strong desire for resources. What they really wanted was to enjoy the energy brought by fear.
With the invasion of the terror seed, the major forces in this world had joined forces to resist, but the difference in strength was obvious. In the end, the world still fell and was ruled by the terror seed.
At that time, all the creatures in the heaven domain world were like cattle and sheep in captivity. Their lives were not in their own hands.
In order to instill fear in the creatures in the heaven domain world, the terror species would conduct a large-scale massacre from time to time while they ruled the world.
This caused the creatures in the heaven domain world to be dominated by fear, because they didn't know when they would die. It might be in the next large-scale massacre.
In order to allow the fear to spread better, the horrifying zergs had even modified the spirit Qi in this world into a special negative spirit Qi that could constantly expand the fear in the hearts of living creatures.
Under such an atmosphere, the Tianyu world completely fell and was ruled by the fearful zergs for 500 years.
Under the transformation of the special spiritual energy of fear, the creatures in this world also lost their faith in resistance and spent their days in hesitation.
The modification was undoubtedly a success.
Just like colonization, invasion was the first step, and the spiritual transformation of the indigenous people was the key.
Under the skillful operation of the terror creatures, the world had completely turned into their "Fear Farm", providing them with food (fear) continuously.
If that person had not appeared, this world would not have had the chance to turn things around ...
……
Before the new age, the heavenly domain world, the 876th year when the world was ruled by the fearful species.
In a vast forest to the North of the world, a new member was born in the dark copper tribe.
The baby's birth eased the tribe members 'tense nerves and fear.
At this moment, all the members were gathered in the tribal Square, waiting for the high priest to pray for the newborn baby.
When the high priest picked up the baby from the 'spirit spring water', the tribe members 'gazes immediately focused on the baby's young and tender face.
In contrast to the haggardness and hesitation on their faces, the baby was smiling, and his hands were constantly drawing on the high priest's body.
Seeing this, the tribe members all smiled.
This was the child of their high priest. The clansmen all knelt on one knee and gave their blessings as they prayed.
When the prayer ended, the high priest looked at the baby with a kind gaze and gently stroked his forehead."
"May you smile forever and not be tormented by fear!"
The baby kicked his little feet and smiled, his eyes turning into two crescents.
……
His name was "netherworld smile". He was born in an ordinary family. He didn't have any outstanding fighting talent, nor did he have any special bloodline. The only thing he had was that he loved to smile.
In this world dominated by fear, it was an exception because it always had a smile on its face, as if it was not affected by the fear of this world at all.
Ever since Ming Xiao was born, the smile on his face was a trace of comfort in the tribe members 'suppressed lives, and it was full of appeal.
Although Ming Xiao was very mischievous, the members 'mood would turn for the better when they saw him.
Very soon, netherworld laughter turned 15 years old in such an environment.
That year, his mother sent him to a main city outside the forest and began his training.
This was a process that every member of the tribe had to go through.
Due to the lack of resources in the forest, especially in the area of spirit stones, they could only rely on places like the main city to earn the spirit stones they needed.
Over the past 800 years, the value of spiritual stones had risen rapidly, and they had become an indispensable item for all living beings.
This was because the spiritual energy in this world had been contaminated into a special negative spiritual energy. If one took in too much, they would fall into uncontrollable madness and die in extreme fear. Only by taking in some pure spiritual energy from time to time would they have a chance to continue living.
As for the spirit stones that had long been excavated, they had become a means for most living beings to resist the special negative spiritual Qi. They had to regularly absorb the spiritual Qi from the spirit stones to maintain their mental state.
Every family in the dark copper tribe had people working in that city to earn spirit stones.
The 15-year-old nether smile had also joined them at that time, becoming a weapon-forging blacksmith in the main city.
This kind of life was undoubtedly boring. Compared to the carefree life in the past, Ming Xiao's face was lacking a lot of smiles.
He had to work by the forging furnace every day, and the monthly wages (spirit stones) would be collected by the clansmen sent by his mother, leaving only a small amount of money for his daily expenses.
Sometimes, Ming Xiao's mother would send him a letter to reprimand him for his negligence and underpay.
What made Ming Xiao angrier was that once, because he wanted to play and bought some entertainment items, the salary he sent home for that month was reduced by a portion. The letter from his mother made him feel bitterly disappointed.
In the letter, his mother said that she needed a large number of spirit stones for her cultivation, so she asked him to send back most of the spirit stones he earned and not buy any other entertainment items.
Ming Xiao felt extremely aggrieved at his mother's request.
He also became rebellious because of this. He felt that why should the children of the other families in the tribe be able to live happily in the main city, and why should he suffer so much?
After that, Ming Xiao would deliberately send his mother less wages, and like the other children in the tribe, he would spend his monthly wages on spending and having fun.
This was his protest against his mother's behavior.
Ming Xiao didn't even care about his mother's subsequent letters.
He wanted to live his own life and no longer be restricted by his mother.
However, Ming Xiao had underestimated his mother. After living a carefree life for a few months, the blacksmith shop suddenly began to cut his wages, leaving only a small amount for his clothes, food, and transportation.
In response, netherworld smile had angrily questioned the old blacksmith for the reason, and the old blacksmith had given him the answer.
This was his mother's request. She was the high priest of the underworld copper tribe and had business dealings with the blacksmith shop. The blacksmith shop supported her decision. As for the reduced salary, she didn't embezzle it, but sent it back to her mother.
At that moment, Ming Xiao was completely enraged.
Ming Xiao even had the urge to abandon his mother.
You need spirit stones, do you think I don't need them?
Training! Training! Why do you only care about yourself? am I not your child?
At that time, Ming Xiao no longer liked to smile. He chose to leave the blacksmith shop and look for a new job, no longer wanting to be controlled by his mother.
From then on, Ming Xiao stood on the opposite side of his mother.
Time passed, and ten years passed in the blink of an eye. The training had also ended.
However, Ming Xiao didn't plan to return to the tribe, because his mother there made him feel cold.
Even when his mother had sent him a letter asking him to return, he had not had any thoughts about it.
He didn't want to be controlled by his mother anymore.
At that time, Ming Xiao thought that he would spend the rest of his life in the main city and would never return to the tribe.
However, a variable still appeared.
Although the location of this main city was very remote, at the extreme north of the world, the terrifying crisis that swept across the earth still came quietly.
On that day, black shadows appeared in the sky, accompanied by a blood-red light. A dark red Cloud quietly approached the main city from the horizon.
As the huge cloud approached, fear spread ...
Their killing was like a form of art. It would not kill them instantly, but slowly torture the senses of the target creature, causing them to die in extreme pain and fear.
Most of the creatures in the main city were lying on the ground at this moment, struggling madly. Fear had already seized their throats, and their mental defenses collapsed instantly. They were completely trapped in the prison of fear, unable to break free.
Countless black shadows were flying in the sky above the main city, devouring the fear that was overflowing from the main city.
At this moment, no one thought of resisting. Courage had long been shattered in the face of fear.
The rest of the creatures completely relied on absorbing the spiritual Qi from the spirit stones, struggling to survive. Once the spirit stones were exhausted, they would die like their companions with twisted expressions.
Before the crisis had completely arrived, a large number of creatures escaped from the main city and began to run for their lives.
At that time, Ming Xiao had also escaped from the main city and ran into the forest.
The dark red clouds slowly advanced and enveloped the main city, constantly devouring the lives of the creatures in the main city.
That was the first time netherworld laughter had felt fear. It was like a demon's claw clinging to his back, ready to snap his neck and take his life at any moment.
After a day and a night of running, Ming Xiao was exhausted, and people around him fell one after another. Therefore, he didn't dare to delay and could only grit his teeth and continue to run.
The main city had fallen, and he had nowhere to go. It seemed that his only choice now was to return to the tribe.
Although he didn't want to go back to that place, he had no choice now.
After three days and three nights of travel, he returned to the tribe, but what he saw shocked him.
The tribe had already fallen, and there were corpses with distorted faces everywhere. The members of the tribe had all lost their lives in extreme fear.
Ming Xiao thought of his mother at that moment. Although he hated his mother, he still ran to her room.
Pushing the door open, he saw his mother lying on the bed with a frightened face. Her body had long been stiff, and he could imagine how much pain she had gone through.
At that moment, Ming Xiao's feelings were very complicated.
However, at this time, he found that his mother was holding two letters in her hand.
When he opened it, the contents shocked Ming Xiao.
[My son, I know you are stubborn and disobedient. I am afraid that you will have no one to rely on after my death. I have stored all the spirit stones you have earned under my bed. Together with the spirit stones I have earned, you have a total of 7326 stones. These will be your last support in this world dominated by fear. Disaster will come at any time, so protect yourself.]
When he saw the letter, Ming Xiao's eyes widened, and his heart trembled uncontrollably.
He took a deep breath, suppressed his emotions, and opened the second letter.
[My son, I hope you will smile forever!]
This was his mother's blessing to him when he was born.
It was also the last words his mother left him.
Looking at his dead mother, Ming Xiao shed tears,"
"I've spent ten years competing with you, and in the end, I lost everything. Hahahaha!"
The first turning point in Ming Xiao's life came from his mother's selfless love.
