Divine Tribulation of the Star Civilization - Chapter 1103

[1103. The era of chaos (4)]

At this time, it had only been half a year since the empire’s northern expedition plan was proposed, and the effect of “supporting the king” was remarkable. The power of the first few families grew bigger and bigger like a snowball. After plundering wildly, they annexed all the resources of the eliminated forces, and soon became extremely rich.

The struggle situation in the entire empire is gradually becoming clear, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that if they don’t take sides at this time, they may have no chance at all.

The vigorous “support the king” movement finally came to an end, and “join if you can’t win” became the consensus, and forces from all over the country surrendered one after another. In the end, even the “human gods” supported by family clans from various places were all driven to Xanadu, the capital of the empire – becoming important materials for the second phase of the Northern Expedition Plan.

Because of their greatest achievements, the Jupiter family became extremely powerful for a while.

They did not break their original oath and melted the collected soul crystals into larger soul crystal pillars as war resources.

He also secretly built a soul testing ground – “Yang of the Abyss”. A huge “soul pointer” was established in “Abyss Sun”, and a “switchboard” was built around the pointer. These devices can continuously gather the power of souls in places beyond the scope of the empire.

No one knows how these machines work. Some people always feel that a mysterious force dominates there.

The Jupiter family has already recruited a group of soul forging masters and psychics to carry out creation experiments day and night. And he used the body of the powerful “human god” who came to the imperial capital as a container, and used forbidden techniques to reshape his soul.

After just a few years of experimentation, the Empire finally got its hands on the original gods.

——The Soul Nightmare Beast is the first test subject of artificial gods. However, the exaggerated power is not controlled by a strong mind, and the soul nightmare monster becomes a confused product from the beginning of its birth.

It cannot be controlled at all except that it devours life.

The results of countless efforts were in vain, and the soul nightmare beast was finally guided to the remote wasteland of the Mu continent, leaving it to fend for itself.

The Quentin people were not reconciled and continued to experiment. After learning the lesson, the subsequent attempts went very smoothly, and another perfectly “controllable” artificial god, Quintessa, was finally born.

Quintessa is powerful, controllable, and capable of destroying everything with invincible power.

At this point, the rulers believed that the time was ripe for a northern expedition. Powerful man-made gods, human-god troops, and countless imperial troops, cavalry, sword masters, priests, soul forgers, and psychics formed the advance army of the Northern Expedition, which will soon set off to block the natural chasm between the north and south continents.

At that time, they didn’t know that one of the oldest races on the northern continent was secretly watching all this from the sky.

However, the limited human mind has never been able to understand the nature of life, and unknown things are cruel and unfamiliar to humans. The strong desire of various forces for the soul crystal soon turned into a black hole swallowing their desires.

In order to win the first place, all the powerful families spared no effort to place their own troops and horses into the Northern Expedition Army. For a time, people were jumping and horses were neighing, and it was a grand occasion.

However, they also know what they will face…

The harsh environment of the Dark Continent is different from that of the Mu Continent. The land there is very barren, with few products. Even crops cannot grow, and birds and beasts are afraid to avoid it.

Even though this land contains many treasures, it is not something that can be conquered at will with powerful force due to various terrifying legends and cruel and bloodthirsty alien forces.

A long time ago, many ill-fated adventurers went there for different purposes. They were called the earliest pioneers of the Quentin Empire. However, the information these people brought back was the same.

——That continent is absolutely terrifying, bloody and barbaric.

Not only are there powerful and savage alien beasts, but there are also countless frozen wildernesses, dry deserts, unknown traps and death gases. Even the sunlight there is a source of poison. Degeneration, confusion of thinking.

What is even more frightening is that among the people on the border, there are many terrifying legends about the Northern Continent. For example: the strangest diseases are all transmitted from the northern continent. They said infected people would go crazy, have skin ulcers, lose body functions, and turn into bloodthirsty monsters within weeks.

They kill everyone they see, and even their howls are wild and primitive. They don’t look like humans at all. They are crazy, cruel, and incurable.

There are also many people who have never come back since they went to the Northern Continent.

No one knows what they went through.

Some even claimed that the reason why he managed to survive by escaping back to the south was because of his lofty faith. He could stay clear-headed after his companions had arrogant auditory hallucinations and find the correct path by distinguishing the direction of the wind and the position of the sun.

In short, these weird rumors are becoming more and more numerous, and along with countless bloody cases among border residents, the empire’s plan to enter the northern continent has been thwarted several times.

It seems that as long as human beings realize their own insignificance and understand the grandeur and unfathomability of all things in the universe, they will arouse a sense of hope and dependence on the unknown “mysterious divine being”. This is human nature.

At that time, the fear of the legend had bewitched the hearts of the people, and the rulers of the powerful empire had lingering fears, and they did not dare to have any thoughts about that land.

However, this time is different.

If no more soul crystals are found, the promise will be in vain.

Forced by reality, the imperial chariot of the ruling class will quickly fall apart due to internal attrition. The wars and violent confrontations that have occurred in various places have become more and more intense. They have penetrated into the fabric of the country like a virus and are likely to become uncontrollable.

No one can stop the spread of this situation until more powerful power is obtained or a more powerful religious belief is born.

The imperial expedition to the north is imperative. Within this general framework, the purpose of this trip is not only to obtain soul crystal resources, but also has another deeper meaning.

That is the great vision that the ruling class must complete – the empire needs a huge victory to prove itself and “tame” everyone’s inner demons; it needs more advanced ruling tools to maintain the empire’s eternal existence, and it needs greater power. Like more artificial gods.

If even the most terrifying alien race in the Northern Continent can be conquered by the Quentin Empire, then all problems will be non-problems, and all doubts about faith will disappear.

Once victorious, the Quentin Empire will restore its former greatness and glory in a song of triumph.

There are always more solutions than difficulties. The way to solve the problem is right in front of you. It just depends on whether the ruler is willing to try it.

Obviously, they were ready to take action.

Use the power of all people to create a “new god”, and then use the power of the gods to lead the imperial chariot forward.

However, will such a move give the ruler of the Kunting Empire what he wants? What is the cost of the Northern Expedition? But no one mentioned it at all.

Like gamblers who have lost their money, the rulers of the empire can no longer care about so much. They are busy launching great plans, their blood is boiling, and every pore is screaming with excitement.
