Chapter 78: July Epoch

  The Thirteenfold Seal of the Extreme Yin Gathering Spirit Array will slowly but ceaselessly gather death and dark magic from all directions before it is destroyed.

  These deaths and dark magic, a small part of which will be added to the undead in the magical puzzle lock, allowing them not only to weaken their strength due to long-term existence.

  The remaining majority of the death and darkness magic would be stored within the Extreme Yin Gathering Spirit Array before it was overly saturated, quietly waiting for the moment when the Extreme Yin Gathering Spirit Array was destroyed and the magic burst out.

  Each time the thirteen-layered extreme yin gathering spirit array is destroyed, the death and dark magic that has been accumulating and stored within the magic array for years and months will flow into the bodies of the vengeful spirits inside the magical puzzle lock through the pre-laid magic lines, causing those vengeful spirits to surge in power and become extremely violent and bloodthirsty, and layer by layer seal off the magical puzzle lock like a seal.

  Originally, when the destruction reached the fourth place of extreme yin gathering spirit array, the magic puzzle lock would reach a critical value due to quantitative changes causing qualitative changes, causing the weakest of those undead to explode and the magic puzzle lock to be completely sealed.

  But now it's good that those ignorant bastards dare to continue destroying the extreme yin gathering spirit array, don't they know this is a surefire way to get themselves killed?!

  "What happened outside?"

  Rove knew the harm of continuously destroying the extremely evil spirit array, but the female ghost Corvin didn't seem to understand at all. So after the earthquake and Rove's drastic change in expression, she asked such a sentence.

  Luo Wei didn't hide anything either. He told all the information about the Thirteen Heavy Yin Gathering Spirit Formation to the female ghost Ke Luo Wen.

  Now, Rove and the female ghost Kuroven are like two grasshoppers tied together with a thread. Before clearing up those thoroughly violent spirit creatures, neither Rove nor Kuroven can escape.

  "Korova, put everything else aside for now. We have to stop those guys from further desecrating the Extreme Yin Gathering Array! I won't beat around the bush with you either - do the hidden books over there contain any notes on necromancy and ice magic?"

  After saying all the severe situations now, Luo Wei pointed to the bookshelves in the center of the magic secret room and said with a slightly urgent tone.

  Unable to restrain his anxiety, the three months of life that he had managed to cling to with his dying body had only just passed the halfway point of the first month, and the food and water he carried would not last more than a week.

  As a forensic expert, Luo Wei was well aware of how long a person could survive after consuming clean food and water.

  A person can survive without food for 7 days, but if there is no water, a normal person will die of thirst in 3 days!

  Not to mention, Luo Wei's current dying body made his physical strength even weaker than a normal strong person.

  So Luo Wei was completely uncertain whether he could revive as a zombie before his fake life in the dying body was consumed by thirst and hunger, and even if he could revive as a zombie... who would want to be a thirsty ghost or a hungry ghost?!

  Of course, Luo Wei would never admit that after the destruction of the Five Extreme Yin Gathering Spirit Array and the dispersal of its power, those violent vengeful spirits had at least amplified to the level of White Iron Stage soul fire for him, which was actually a great tonic feast.

  However, this feast is delicious but hard to digest, and Luo Wei must do his homework before that.

  "You're a bit too late to be studying magic notes, aren't you? I may not have studied your mountain people's magic, but it's clear that all spellcasters, including you necromancers, need months or even years of study and countless practice sessions to master new magical abilities."

  The female ghost Corvin didn't move as Rovi had hoped, but instead spoke in a tone full of suspicion.

  "I've got a better idea, let's go get the Horn of the Eagle first, trust me - with the powerful strength that the Horn of the Eagle possesses, we can easily kill those undead outside and also take care of that treacherous and despicable traitor, Mongrel!"

  After vetoing Luo Wei, the female ghost Ke Luwen took the initiative to propose.

  "What power rank and bloodline does your Queen Ceres possess?"

  Luo Wei asked.

  "Queen Celsia has not only fully awakened the Three-Colored Spirit Deer Bloodline, but also possesses Giant's Strength! Oh, according to your mountain outsiders' classification, Giant's Strength seems to be equivalent to... equivalent to... " The female ghost Corvin paused and made an effort to recall before finally reporting the final answer: "Equivalent to Black Iron Body."

  "Body of Black Iron...?"

  Rovin repeated Korwen's answer, his expression not too good because this "keyword" had triggered the residual memory of the magician Salo.

  This made Rovin, who had never seen a Black Iron rank sword holder before, clearly understand that only those who broke through the Golden rank and became a great master had the qualifications to be called Black Iron.

  In this otherworldly world called Etern, probably due to the seven moons hanging in the sky that alternately grow and shrink, each time a certain moon grows larger means the end of an old era and the beginning of a new one.

  Since the dawn of history, the world of Aethoria has undergone six epochal changes: the Golden Moon Era, the Silver Moon Era, the Green Moon Era, the White Moon Era, the Black Moon Era, and the Gray Moon Era.

  Each era lasts from several tens of thousands of years to less than three thousand years.

  And every time the epoch changes, it is never just a simple change of calendar, but will always be caused by the world's law line being pulled, leading to a drastic change in the entire world, as well as the appearance of dark magic tides!

  When the Golden Moon Calendar and the Silver Moon Calendar alternate, the people of gold with unparalleled powerful strength are destroyed by the silver-white beast tide, and then the people of white silver appear on the earth.

  When the Silver Moon Calendar and the Green Moon Calendar alternated, the tribes of the White Silver people were one by one broken through by endless elemental puppets. When the Bronze People were born in the elemental puppets, more than 3,000 years had quietly passed.

  The Bronze People developed a highly advanced elemental civilization, and even the magical system was created by the Bronze People. In order to respond to the replacement of the era, the Bronze People established countless heavily armed war fortresses on the edge of chaos in various places.

  But the Bronze People were still destroyed, only it was not the Dark Tide of magic that came with the change of eras that destroyed them, but rather the struggle for power and mutual war after the victory over the Dark Tide. The Bronze People... destroyed themselves!

  After the destruction of the Bronze People, the True Steel People who were originally enslaved by the Bronze People relied on the war fortresses left behind by the Bronze People. On the devastated land that was ravaged by the Bronze People, they established one after another distant city-state nations.

  But the people of True Steel had bad luck, and the destruction and pollution of the Bronze People to the fertile land made them cross the Chaos Boundary, exploring and developing in areas that were originally shrouded in mist.

  The people of the True Steel easily won victories over the evil beasts and demons hidden in the chaotic mist, opening up new colonies suitable for cultivation. The calamity of the changing era descended upon them.

  So the True Steel tribe was destroyed, and then the Black Iron tribe appeared.

  In the beginning, the people of Black Iron in the era of ignorance had a pure body of black iron, so even as a child, they could give birth to lions and tigers.

  But the divine messengers who took on human form to guide humans out of ignorance, soon left behind numerous descendants with their blood flowing through their veins among the Black Iron people. In contrast, demons and magical beasts also constantly infused their filthy blood into the veins of the Black Iron people through temptation and coercion.

  For thousands of years, wars, famines, love affairs, yin disorders and slave trades have caused the originally relatively pure blood of Hei Tie due to regional divisions to become increasingly mixed, and almost everyone's veins may be flowing with more than a dozen kinds of blood.

  Thus, the bloodline of the Black Iron Clan became increasingly mixed, declining from the power of the Golden Rank to that of the Silver Rank, White Iron Rank, and finally the Black Iron Rank, weakening until they were no different from ordinary humans.

  That's right... The humans of the Ashen Moon Calendar era are indeed the remnants of the Black Iron Tribe from the Black Moon Calendar era.
