The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1005 - Heaven And Earth Opening: Invasion

Chapter 1005

(Unedited)

…

The first war between the High Elves and the humans is actually with consent from the saint rulers of the human race. Its purpose was to further help the humans to improve in their battle prowess and also to help them gain more experience.

However, what they did not expect to happen is the appearance of the 'enticed' immortals which has already sided themselves with the demons.

It became chaotic and almost got out of hand. Thankfully Shin Jiao, a newly ascended immortal, created many artifacts that have enhanced the firepower of the humans.

And so, the war ended with the discovery of the shadow beings lurking amongst the races within the immortal land.

However, as time went by, they have discovered that the number of shadow beings is gradually increasing.

And one of the races that have been influenced too much is the High Elves. Their arrogance and pride got the better of them which lead them to the path of destruction.

Luckily the other elven tribes were able to separate themselves and are now ruling their own kingdom separate from the previous empire of the elves.

This has been a new precedent amongst the elves in the immortal land. The elven clans have not separated for hundreds of thousands of years ever since the empire was founded.

But now, the High Elves still did not want to let go of that power and prestige that they have gained for many years, and so they decided to ally themselves with the demons.

It is unknown who started it, but the High Elves began activating their artifacts without restraint. This in turn made them into sentient demons that are 3 meters tall with horns protruding from their foreheads.

They have gained twice their strength now and have grown more powerful than ever.

After telling this story, Lanise El Ga looks at the three with fear in her eyes.

"I did not know what would happen to my clan… but… but I hope that the others who did not want to follow my father's command would be spared…" she said with a sad expression.

After her words, a few people walk inside the room.

At this time, the ambassador from the dragon race is also with them.

"This is really a troubling piece of news…" Siloworg said with a frown.

"If the High Elves demonized and sentient at that, it would be really hard for us to kill them. And since they are immortals then there is a chance that chaos will start to reign in this world…" one of the saint rulers said as she walks inside.

Everyone contemplated and thought for a while. They knew that it is really inevitable that a war would start once again. But this time, the war would involve all of the races.

"I also heard that in the Zith'ra clan there are also those who have started demonizing. It seems that some of them followed the footsteps of the High Elves…"

"Sigh… I did not want to say this, but in truth… the shadow beings are beginning to make their move… We have long known that the planet has already been discovered. We just did not expect that they would make their move this soon…" Siloworg said on the side.

"What should we do then? Will the war extend up to this place?"

"No… the war is still in the borders between the light and darkness. However, an elite army of the shadow beings and demons have already infiltrated this area…" Siloworg explained.

"Then will the deities help us?"

The room turned silent as everyone knew of the fact that they are on their own in fighting this invasion.

Shin Jiao on the side did not want to say anything, but since he discovered that the planet itself is now in trouble and the saint rulers seem to be having a hard time making a decision, he suddenly wanted to do something.

But he has already shared the holy barrier which is the most effective way to counter the shadow beings and the demons, so he did not know what else he could do.

"I… I don't know if it is proper… but since we have already known the gravity of the situation is truly dire, will the human race share the knowledge of the holy barrier to the other races…" Siloworg suddenly said showing a slightly sheepish smile.

He knew that the holy barrier was an idea coming from a human. Many other races try creating as such, but it is not big enough to protect a city.

The intricacy of the holy barrier and the runes in it is too complex for them.

Well, they cannot blame Shin Jiao for such a thing. The holy barrier took more than hundreds of thousands of array masters from the human race to fully study it and was finally able to barely erect it in each city, town, and village.

But those barriers are not that strong to ward off high-level demons or shadow beings, though it could suppress their power to the level of a mere lord.

And all the races have already known this, yet are prideful enough to ask for the human's help. This is because many of them considered humans as one of the weakest races in the immortal land.

But desperate times call for desperate measures, so Siloworg has already decided to tell them one of the main purposes of his visit to Ji village.

"Ah, yes… I noticed that Ji village has superior barriers and protection. If only the other cities and towns would be able to have such a thing…" the saint ruler from the Osmond clan muttered.

He could not help but think as such because they are near the border between the humans and the High Elves. If the High Elves truly attack, then they are the first line of defense.

"Sigh… I already gave the complete blueprint… If they are having a hard time deciphering it, then that is their problem…" Shin Jiao said with a frown.

The holy barrier is not a secret. Shin Jiao just modified it from the existing city barrier and added the holy element on it. But he discovered that the barriers are ancient runes that seem to come from the original creators of the immortal land. And this is the reason why even after millions of years, they still could not decipher the runes.

And only Shin Jiao and Luna Halil were able to decipher it because of their unique bloodline.

Shin Jiao did not want to slave himself in creating such a complex array formation. There are billions of cities and towns in the immortal land. If he does it alone, then it would surely cause him great stress.

"Why not include this in the lesson in the virtual world…" the voice of Maga Luan suddenly interrupted the group.

Everyone's eyes lit up. Shin Jiao also smile as he knew that the idea is really feasible. In fact, he did not include this in the lectures before because he has already given them the entire blueprint; he just thought that the human race could study it slowly. But desperate times call for desperate measures.

"You're right. This is our only defense for now against the shadow beings and the demons… Contact the other elven tribes, we can start this as soon as possible…" the saint ruler from the Kiwazo clan commanded.

Everyone nodded their heads, if the influence in the elven race could be lessened, then the war would not fully spill out of control. After the elven clan, the other races would follow. But for now, their next problem is the installation of the new virtual world which uses the beguiling stone.

Shin Jiao dare not use the soul transmission in the open now that the demon threat is at hand. When he was battling against the shadow being, he could tell that they have control over the souls. If the virtual world is exposed to them, then everyone would surely be in danger.

But with the beguiling stone, it becomes safer and more manageable.

After the group left with their new task, Shin Jiao turns towards the princess and patted her shoulder.

"Thank you… you truly have helped us. Without your words, we could not have discovered the gravity of the situation…" he said with a smile.

A shy smile appears on the elven princess and nodded her head.

…

That night, Lanise lies on her bed and thought of the things she has done. She looks outside the window and took a deep breath.

"Father… I'm sorry. I… I did not want everything to end this way. But… but what you did to my mother. I swear… I swear that I will free her from your grasp. I will make sure that you will experience the things that you have done to her." Lanise said with a streak of tears falling down her smooth cheeks.

Her hatred for her father, for her brothers and sisters, for the shadow beings and the demons, all sprouted the day when she discovered the whereabouts of her mother.
