Castle of Black Iron

“Don’t you want to know the source of the conflicts between humans and demons?”

After hearing Tang Mei’s question, Zhang Tie instantly asked her with high spirits.

“The source of the conflicts between humans and demons is here!” Tang Mei said certainly as she pointed at that colorful huge rock which was gurgling out Nine-Heavens Immortal Spring.

“That rock?” Zhang Tie asked as he started to observe that piece of rock seriously again, “You mean humans and demons are scrambling for this piece of rock?”

This piece of rock meant Nine-Heavens Immortal Spring. This explanation might be reasonable in Motian Realm; however, there was no Nine-Heavens Immortal Spring in the world where Zhang Tie came from at all. Even so, the conflicts between humans and demons were still ceaseless over there. How to explain this?

“Of course, humans and demons are not scrambling for this piece of rock!” Tang Mei said as she shook her head, “Nobody in Motian Realm knows where did this piece of rock come from, including all the former Emperor NvWa in Emperor NvWa’s Palace. However, according to the legends of Emperor NvWa’s Palace, this piece of magical rock contains the secrets of far-ancient deities, including the origin of the conflicts between humans and demons!”

“Oh, I see!” Zhang Tie got her point. When he thought about the secrets about the deities, he said out of curiosity, “Let me have a try then…”

Meanwhile, Zhang Tie injected a wisp of spiritual energy into the piece of magical rock. However, that wisp of powerful spiritual energy had been absorbed the moment it touched its surface just like a drop of water in a desert.

‘Strange! Why!’

Noticing Zhang Tie’s odd look, Tang Mei also tried to inject a wisp of spiritual energy into the piece of magical rock; however, her spiritual energy was also absorbed the moment it touched the surface of the piece of magical rock. She didn’t get any feedback from the rock either.

Therefore, Tang Mei was also shocked.

Generally speaking, if an item contained some information, as long as one injected his spiritual energy inside it, one would be able to sense the information. It was as easy as reading the contents of a secret method from a piece of crystal. However, this piece of rock appeared to be special as it couldn’t be activated by the two people’s spiritual energy.

“Let me have another try…” Zhang Tie said as he pointed at his central forehead. Closely after that, another wisp of powerful spiritual energy shot into that piece of magical rock in terms of a streak of golden light from his central forehead.

This time, Zhang Tie felt that that piece of magical rock was indeed absorbing his spiritual energy as his spiritual energy gradually entered the piece of magical rock. The former two wisps of spiritual energy were too trivial to cause this piece of magical rock to make any response. Even though Zhang Tie input his spiritual energy into it with the highest power, it was still far from enough for this piece of magical rock.

Out of great curiosity, Zhang Tie clenched his teeth as he constantly inputted his spiritual energy into that piece of magical rock. Meanwhile, his central forehead was giving out brilliant, golden light. After inputting his spiritual energy into the piece of magical rock for about one hour with the largest “power”, Zhang Tie’s forehead had been oozing. When Zhang Tie felt running out of his spiritual energy, he heard a “boom…” from the piece of magical rock with a wave.

Closely after that, a piece of message entered Zhang Tie’s mind sea, which suddenly blew up in Zhang Tie’s mind sea like a seed, submerging Zhang Tie’s complete awareness in strong light…

In an instant, numerous pieces of information poured in Zhang Tie’s mind sea. Zhang Tie felt like losing everything, including his body and awareness. Meanwhile, he felt owning everything. Everything became nothing.

Millions of years later, a sparkle appeared in that nihility. Closely after that, the nihility exploded as galaxies and planets flew out of there like flames. Meanwhile, the entire nihility started to expand sharply.

Hundreds of millions of years later, a huge blue planet came into being in a violent explosion, which had two moons and was neither far from or close to the sun.

After another hundred of millions of years, a flock of odd living beings torn open the air and descended to this galaxy.

These odd living beings could travel between sun and the nihility. Their upper body was like that of humans; their lower body was like a snake. Their lower body was not tail, but a kind of magical foot. Only by swinging their tail, they could fly casually in the nihility and arrive everywhere. These powerful living beings could communicate with each other and survive on thoughts.

A strange brilliant pulp was gurgling out of the ground of that new huge blue planet which had unimaginably rich reiki and energy. Meanwhile, its aroma penetrated through the nihility. As a result, those strange living beings in this galaxy were all attracted by this special pulp as they all came to the ground of this planet to enjoy it.

However, after eating those pulp, those odd living beings with magical feet who could break the nihility casually lost their ability to leave this planet. As a result, they could only stay in the space of this planet.

However, they didn’t want to lose this ability to break the nihility or they wanted to return to the previous world. Therefore, those odd living beings started to build an unimaginably magnificent pyramid-sized building on a magnetic pole of the planet.

However, before that building was completed, those odd living beings’s bodies had started to change evidently.

Those odd living beings who came to this planet and ate the essence on the top of the pulp at the beginning started to turn into humans who were more handsome and beautiful than before. As for those who came here later, they gradually turned into ugly and terrifying reptiles like snakes.

Those ugly and terrifying living beings started to envy and hate those who were more beautiful than them. The two parties gradually broke out more and more conflicts and lacked communication. As a result, this species which once came from the same place and owned the same capacity divided into two groups due to the change of their external looks and became totally incompatible.

Finally the war between the ugly reptiles and the beatiful humans broke out before the great building being commonly built by two groups was completed.

That was a destructive war. Any individual of the two parties had overwhelming and destructive strength.

In that war, the great building being commonly built by the two parties was directly destroyed. When that great building collapsed, it overturned the entire planet. Even the magnetic poles of the entire planet were changed as its rotation axis which revolved around the sun started to tilt. As a result, many lands sunk into the ocean…

Flood, earthquake, tsunami and flames falling from the heavens submerged everything. At the fiercest place of the war, the space was directly shattered…

This war almost destroyed the entire planet; additionally, it brought great casualties to the two groups. Almost all the most powerful individuals of the two groups were exterminated. Some powerful individuals couldn’t descend to this planet and this world due to various reasons…

Those who survived this war were the descendants of the two groups. When the ware broke out, their descendants couldn’t join the war as they were too weak. Fortunately, they survived.

When their descendants grew up on this planet, this planet had been different than before. No pulp gurgled out of the ground anymore; neither the reiki on the planet was as plentiful as before. Additionally, their descendants couldn’t fly in the air or move on the ground like before.

Later on, their descendants carried on their bodies and looks. Those whose parents were beautiful were still beautiful; those whose parents were ugly and terrifying were still ugly and terrifying. Additionally, they inherited the hostility and hatred between both parties. When both parties were ready for a war, a war would break out.

Ceaseless wars led to damages, destructions, death and loss. As a result, the civilization and population across the globe constantly deteriorated and degenerated…

The descendants of the two groups finally became humans and demons. Their ancestors were called human deities or demon deities…

“Brother, wake up…”

At this moment, his face felt a bit cold. When Zhang Tie opened his eyes, he found that he had just passed out and lain on the ground, face upwards; however, Tang Mei was just squatting beside him with great concern while patting his face with the water of Nine-Heavens Immortal Spring. Being lubricated by Nine-Heavens Immortal Spring, the spiritual energy in Zhang Tie’s mind sea was recovering rapidly. As a result, his mind which had just been blown up with prodigious information and images gradually recovered.

Zhang Tie’s eyes became increasingly brighter. He then muttered with an increasingly louder voice, “I see… I see… I see…” Zhang Tie instantly sprung up as he raised his head and roared inside Heavens of Light, “I finally see…”
