Chapter 77: Demon Suppression Gorge, Demon Suppression Army, Saints, Saints Hall
"Demon Suppression Gorge!"
Speaking of the Demon-Suppressing Gorge, Ale's face became extremely serious.
"That's where the life and death of the entire continent is decided!"
"Determine the life and death of the continent?"
Lu Ming was very puzzled. How could a Demon-Suppressing Gorge decide the life and death of the entire continent?
Ah Le saw Lu Ming's confusion and explained, "I know you must be confused. I was confused too at the beginning, but when I understood what the Demon Suppression Gorge represented, I understood the meaning of this sentence!"
Ale suddenly asked an unrelated question.
"Do you know how big the Destiny Continent is?"
This question made Lu Ming stunned. How big is the Destiny Continent?
Lu Ming wasn't sure, but it should be very big.
As far as Lu Ming knew, the Principality of Hanhai where he was located covered an area of more than 20 million square kilometers, which was twice the size of his own country in his previous life, and had a population of over 500 million!
And this is just the lowest level country in the entire continent!
There are kingdoms and empires above them!
There are two major empires in the entire continent, namely the Empire of Destiny and the Empire of Luck.
Taking the Empire of Destiny as an example, it has three kingdoms under its jurisdiction, namely the Rock Kingdom, the Kirin Kingdom, and the Iron Blood Kingdom, and the Duchy of the Vast Sea is one of the five duchies under the Rock Kingdom!
The entire Empire of Life covers an area of approximately 4 trillion square kilometers and has a population of over 75 billion!
What kind of number is this?
The blue planet where Lu Ming lived in his previous life has an area of 5.1 trillion square kilometers and a global population of about 80 billion!
This means that the Empire of Life is larger in area than Blue Star, but its population is quite small compared to that of Blue Star!
You have to know that this is just an Empire of Destiny. There is also an Empire of Luck that is equivalent to it. The entire Continent of Destiny is equivalent to the size of two blue stars.
Lu Ming shook his head: "I can't answer this question, but it should be very big."
"Then let me tell you, the entire Destiny Continent is a total of 12 trillion square kilometers!"
Although Lu Ming knew that the Destiny Continent was very large, he was still quite shocked when he heard this number.
After a while, he said, "But what does this have to do with the Demon Suppression Gorge?"
Ah Le sighed: "Of course it does matter!"
"If it weren't for the existence of the Demon Suppression Gorge, the Destiny Continent would have ceased to exist long ago."
He said with a look of disappointment, "You know what? In fact, the Destiny Continent used to be bigger than it is now, at least three times bigger, and the population was also much larger."
"What?" Lu Ming's eyes widened.
Lu Ming never thought that the Destiny Continent would be so big!
He looked at Ale, waiting for his next explanation.
"In fact, the original name of this continent was not called Destiny Continent, but Tianyuan Continent. There are two masters on this continent, one is human and the other is a demon beast."
"Back then, humans and monsters were equally powerful, and each occupied half of the land to survive."
"But 20,000 years ago, the demon beasts suddenly launched a sneak attack, and in this sneak attack, humans were repeatedly defeated."
"Forced by the situation, humans can only retreat continuously and send heavy troops to build a defense line."
"However, the demon beasts are unstoppable and continue to break through the human defenses."
"Fortunately, at the critical moment of human survival, a saint appeared. He used supreme means to set up a sky-sealing barrier in the Demon Suppression Gorge, blocking the attack of the monsters and leaving humans with a chance to survive. This is how the Destiny Continent came into being."
"saint?"
Lu Ming instantly became interested. After becoming a fortune teller, he was familiar with the levels of fortune tellers.
The highest level is semi-saint, there is no such realm as saint.
"Since there is such a realm as a saint, why is the level of a fortune teller only half-saint?"
"Because since that saint, there has been no saint in Destiny Continent for 20,000 years!"
“Over time, the Fate Master Temple will remove the Saint Realm.”
Hearing Ah Le's words, Lu Ming frowned and said, "According to the requirements for upgrading a life master, as long as the life force is accumulated enough, can we obtain the life seal?"
Ah Le spread his hands and said, "If it were really that easy, there would be several saints in these 20,000 years, but the reality is that there is not even a single saint."
"What is the reason?"
"I don't know. Over the past 20,000 years, countless experts have explored this question because they all want to break through the last step and become a saint!"
"But no one has succeeded so far!"
Lu Ming's face was solemn: "Is there really no way to become a saint?"
"Of course." Ah Le suddenly raised his voice.
"Legend has it that a saint built a Saint's Temple. In the Saint's Temple, there is a method to become a saint. More importantly, there are endless treasures and a huge amount of wealth inside!"
Seeing Ah Le's eyes almost turning red, I knew that his love for money had come back.
After a moment, Ah Le said with some regret: "It's a pity that the Saint Hall is very mysterious. Until now, there is no news about it!"
Lu Ming knocked on the bed and said, "You are going off topic a bit. Tell me what the Demon Suppression Gorge is!"
"Don't rush me. I'll introduce you to the Demon Suppression Gorge right now!"
Ah Le cleared his throat and said, "Back then, after the saint set up the Heaven Sealing Boundary in the Demon Suppression Gorge, he was able to block the attack of the demon beast army."
“But due to the short time, the initial formation had a flaw and could not completely isolate the army of monsters. There will still be sporadic monsters that can break through the barrier and appear on the Destiny Continent.”
"In order to eliminate these monsters that appeared, the two empires sent troops to garrison in the Monster Suppression Gorge."
"The name of this army is the Demon-Suppressing Army!"
"The Demon-Suppressing Army!" Lu Ming was impressed by this name.
On the way to the awakening ceremony, the village chief Hao Ren once mentioned this army. He called the Demon-Suppressing Army the best army in the world.
"It turns out that the Demon Suppression Army came from the Demon Suppression Gorge!"
At this time, Ah Le continued, "Not only that, this Heaven Sealing Boundary will have a gap in the Demon Suppression Gorge every hundred years, and the time lasts for one year."
"During this period, there will be an endless stream of monsters launching crazy attacks, and a great war between humans and monsters will begin. It is extremely brutal and is known as the Hundred Years of Monster Suppression War!"
"If humans want to survive in the Destiny Continent, they must defend the Demon Suppression Gorge and stop the monsters here, otherwise humans will become extinct!"
"The Demon Suppression Gorge must not be lost!"
After hearing this, Lu Ming understood what Ah Le had said before.
The Demon-Suppressing Gorge is indeed related to the life and death of the Destiny Continent.
"Because of the crucial role of the Demon Suppression Gorge, the Demon Suppression Army stationed there must be the strongest. Those who can become members of the Demon Suppression Army are definitely the best among their peers!"
Lu Ming suddenly asked, "I heard that the minimum requirement for joining the Demon Suppression Army is one-on-five with the same level?"
Ah Le shook his head: "It's not that exaggerated, but there is a hard requirement. To join the Demon Suppression Army, you must be at least a Jinshi, and you must be a perfect fortune teller!"
Lu Ming murmured softly: "Is that so? In this case, those who can become the Demon Suppression Army are indeed strong among their peers!"
He looked at Ah Le and asked, "Are the three elders from the Demon Suppression Army?"
Ah Le nodded: "That's right, so you don't have to worry, my uncle and his men are still very strong."
Lu Ming felt relieved and slowly closed his eyes to recuperate.
"After all, you are still not strong enough, otherwise you wouldn't need to be protected by others!"
The next day
Zhang Erhe and Black Stone City Lord Lu Qiaoshan came together. They did not bring any subordinates with them and came alone.
Outside Monster Market
The city lord Lu Qiaoshan summoned the book of destiny, and the bright red cover was particularly eye-catching.
