Chapter 119 Demonborn and Tiefling
Chapter 119 "Demons and Tieflings"
The historical origins of demons and tieflings, two hybrids of evil creatures and human creatures, are very ancient and seem to have existed since there are clear historical records.
Let’s talk about the demons first. They are regarded by most humans as the product of the union of abyss demons and unruly human women. Discrimination and oppression have become the norm. Even upright paladins cannot deny this.
In the teachings followed by most paladins, the essence of demons should be evil and chaotic. Their existence will only bring turmoil and negative effects to the world. Naturally, they are not included in the scope of protection, even some extreme ones. The existence of the demons will also actively hunt down these poor guys, which once caused these hybrids to be almost extinct. If it were not for the birth of several powerful warriors in the demon descendants group, then they would really be extinct.
Even so, the severe living conditions make it difficult for most demons born accidentally to live the same life as normal people, which forces these demons with almost no way out to become robbers, thieves and killers. In order to be able to make a living, or to have the power to protect themselves from being bullied.
But this has brought about another consequence, that is, the evil deeds done by the demons in order to survive are gradually changing people's views. Even those people who sympathized with them at the beginning have also begun to sympathize with them under the influence of the environment. I hate these little thieves who steal, steal, and even act recklessly. These terms seem to have been placed on the demon's head and can never be taken off.
But it has to be said that the bloodline talents they inherited from demons are very suitable for these professions that walk in the darkness. Most of the famous demon strongmen are masters of negative energy and shadows, such as shadow mages, assassins, thieves, and even The corpse handlers that everyone reviled are the way for demon descendants to change their profession, which almost equates them with evil. Just like the source of their bloodline, most people keep a respectful distance from demon descendants. .
If the demons hadn't grown stronger, their fate might not have been any better than that of the witches in the Middle Ages. The stakes seemed to be their best destination.
This is also true. No group can remain inherently good despite hundreds of thousands of years of discrimination and bullying. Most demons belong to either lawful evil or neutral evil camps, and some have more tragic origins and are directly chaotic. Evil has an extremely strong tendency to destroy the world. These guys will end up either becoming madmen or becoming loyal believers of an evil god, bringing greater crisis to the world.
Prejudice is like a big mountain. No matter how hard the demons try, they can't change people's prejudices. This is even more true as they become stronger. People begin to fear these guys with demonic characteristics, even if they don't do evil. In order to stabilize the emotions of human believers, the gods issued a terrible oracle to massacre the demon descendants, and euphemistically called it to cleanse the world of pests.
In this way, a huge massacre of demons began. From the legendary strong men to the demon children of unknown generations who were just born, they all became the victims of the gods in order to consolidate their faith, and their blood flowed like rivers. It is not enough to describe the cruelty of this massacre, and it is not that no one stood up to support it. However, under the torrent of the times, any resistance is like a mantis trying to stand up to the chariot, and will be submerged in the rolling torrent of history.
The demons were not without resistance. They summoned their fellow tribesmen, formed an army, and tried to fight against the unfair fate. However, no one thought highly of them. They all believed that this was a resistance that was destined to fail, and could not even stir up a few waves.
However, the result of this massacre was beyond everyone's expectations. An abyss lord crossed the material plane and the crystal wall of the abyss, led an army of millions of demons to come forcefully, and the demons who were forced to a dead end. Descendants.
They voluntarily surrendered to their demonic blood and perfectly returned to the abyss, the land where their blood originated.
This change frightened all the beings who led the slaying of demon descendants, including the aloof gods. They paid a heavy price for their arrogance. The believers were almost slaughtered by the surging abyss army, just as they ordered Like killing demon descendants.
Even some of the more unlucky gods fell directly under the influence of this battle that they could not personally end, because all their believers were killed. After losing the source of the power of faith, they could only burn their own divinity to maintain their lives.
But the relationship between the gods is not that of a loving family. Under the overt and covert targeting, these gods burned out their divinity. The divine fire was eventually extinguished, and their divinity was directly shattered. In the end, they could no longer maintain their status as gods. Everything, the priesthood he mastered returned to the universe, and the Kingdom of God fell without leaving any traces.
A massacre against demons eventually led to the death of dozens of gods, but no matter who looked at the cause and outcome of this incident, they would all say that they had themselves to blame.
Before the death of these gods, the Abyss Lord brought by the demons began to be dissatisfied with the status quo. He chose to drag more people into the water, so he took the initiative to expand the passage. Three more Abyss Lords ended up, which further The intensity of the war intensified, and more countries and forces were forced to get involved. At this time, those affected were not limited to the demon race, which was played by fate, and almost half of the material plane was involved.
More and more gods are forced to die, and more demon lords and even devil archdukes are participating in this feast of souls. The excitement brought by the increase in strength has long made them lose their minds, and they only want more and more. Many, endless desires also pulled them into the end of destruction.
However, as the intensity of the battle escalated, the lord of the abyss who first descended discovered something was wrong. After harvesting the souls of a country, he wanted to return to the abyss to rest for a round and wait and see for a short time, so he thought about how to come and go back. .
At this glance, he discovered a piece of desperate news. The way back had been blocked, and now there was no way to escape. With his own strength, even the Lord of the Abyss, who was as powerful as a god, could not open the plane crystal wall. , unless a powerful god is found or cooperation from the other end is found, the channel can be restored to its original state.
The anger of being deceived left him nowhere to vent. When he wanted to find the demons who took the initiative to communicate with the abyss, he found that they had disappeared, leaving only a holy symbol of the Lord of Glory, which seemed to be mocking him. They are foolish enough to fall into a trap without realizing it.
Ten days later, a beam of light that penetrated the sky and the earth fell from the distant Kingdom of Glory. Whether it was the Lord of the Abyss or the Archduke of the Devil, they were all turned into ashes under the wash of endless radiance. They became the nutrients of the material plane and ended. This plane war has a very absurd origin. Of course, perhaps it is more appropriate to call it a game of gods.
In fact, this matter was a conspiracy against gods and abyss lords from the beginning, and the price paid for this was just a group of demons with abyss blood. If there was no powerful divine Lord of Glory behind the scenes, only How could a group of no-more-than-legendary demonic professionals be able to open the plane crystal wall and establish a stable passage? After all, no professional can do this except for those crazy people who only care about reason.
In this strategy that had been planned long ago, the Lord of Glory, as the leader, obtained a harvest that would make all the gods jealous. You must know that every Abyss Lord and Devil Archduke possesses divinity. It may be dozens, or it may be hundreds.
Even if it cannot be completely plundered, the large amount of divinity has pushed the current main god of the Order God System to the level of almost great divine power, not to mention the group of fallen gods, whose lost priesthoods have basically appeared. Regarding the gods belonging to the Order God System, most of these gods are gods belonging to the Lord of Glory. The meaning behind this is self-evident.
The Lord of Glory, who became strong in one fell swoop, relied on his sudden increase in strength to establish a pattern in which order was stabilized and chaos was suppressed. To this day, the gods of the Chaos God System have not regained control.
When everything was settled, the Lord of Glory also performed a miracle, restoring the devastated material plane to its original state. And due to the deaths of many abyss lords and devil archdukes, there will be a more prosperous future in the near future. vitality, but the trauma in people's hearts cannot be healed in a short time, and can only be restored slowly over time.
Historians unanimously determined that this was a major event that affected the development of the world. It was known as the "Death of the Abyss God" in history. After recording the entire event, the completed book was included in the World Library and was not widely distributed because This is a scandal for the gods, and they naturally don't want more people to see it.
But what was counterproductive was that the gods who were firmly opposed to the slaughter of demon descendants refused to let them have an easy time. After paying a small price, they obtained the original history book and printed it in large quantities on the material plane. Of course, these opposed gods did this. It's not just out of boredom and charity, it's just to weaken or even destroy the prestige of those who advocate the slaughter of demon gods, so as to gain more believers.
After all, mortals are lambs to the gods. They only need the faith provided by the lambs, and the more pious lambs will incarnate as petitioners after their death to expand the Kingdom of God. It doesn't matter whether the lambs are living well or not.
Of course, the reason why these history books were originally able to be widely disseminated was due to the fueling of various great beings. They had various purposes and were bound to obtain benefits that were beneficial to themselves.
However, this also led to the fact that the remaining demons had a hard time in the material plane. Although they were not the street rats that everyone shouted to beat, the blame for prompting the invasion of the abyss was finally placed on their heads. Who would blame the great and immortal Lord of Glory, even if He was the root cause of all this.
The game between gods is far more terrifying than the war on the material plane. A war can take away the lives of millions of people at most, but the game between gods will lead to endless wars.
But then again, the cause of the incident was human beings' disgust, fear, and unconcealable jealousy towards the new hybrid race of demons. Yes, it was jealousy.
Compared with most ordinary people, these demon descendants who inherit the blood of demons are more likely to become professionals, master extraordinary powers, and embark on a path of eternal life. How can they not be jealous of ordinary people?
So under the long-standing dissatisfaction, they single-handedly contributed to this massacre of demons. No one would want a highly talented and smarter race to integrate into their lives, even if they have half human blood.
Facts have proved that blind oppression cannot bring even the slightest benefit, and will only trigger the most powerful bottoming out rebound. But it is still the same truth. The only lesson humans learn from history is that they never learn any lessons from history!
Demons are rarely seen in today's Endless Sea. Most of them hide in places where humans can't find them, and have become a new race independently. However, they have no racial gods, so they can only be like rats in the dark. In spite of the fact that the aftermath of that war is still affecting their fate today, I have to say that this is a very sad thing.
Similar to the demons, there is another type of creature called tiefling, which is a hybrid of devils and humans.
The appearance of tieflings is very similar to that of demons, but they are different. Due to the tragedy caused by the massacre of demons, the situation of these latecomers has improved a lot. At least they can move freely in human territory, and It won't cause too much hostility, and it can be regarded as enjoying the legacy left by the demon.
Although they also suffered a lot of cold looks and hardships during the integration process, compared with the previous demon ancestors, they were lucky enough, at least they were not killed to the point of annihilation.
This piece of history recorded in the Endless Sea History Book gradually emerged in Qiao Yang's mind. He frowned slightly, but then relaxed it. It was just a demon. He could catch this cause and effect. At worst, the original abyss god's death would happen again. , anyway, it was definitely not him who cried in the end.
At this time, twelve blood-red cocoons of light appeared in the demon reincarnation pool. Ordinary reincarnation requires very little energy. Even the highest specification only requires one thousand points. Compared with the consumption of upgraded reincarnation, it is completely worthless.
Therefore, the time it took for these people to be reincarnated was also very short. In just a few breaths, twelve evil demons with different shapes appeared in front of everyone. They were no longer demons or tieflings, but the highest bloodline level. Intermediate demons are possessed by demons and cannot look like humans at all.
They crawled out of the Demon Reincarnation Pond and breathed in the fresh air. After understanding that they were resurrected, they knelt down to Qiao Yang and shouted loudly such as "long live the captain".
Being able to live again, even if he is no longer human, he can accept it. Anyway, it is not that there are no non-human crew members on the ship, and their existence is not considered alien.
The most important thing is that compared to the human body with low talent, it is easier for the demon body to obtain strong strength nowadays, and there is nothing wrong with not being a human being.
