Chapter 473: Chapter 473: The Origin of the Stone Chapter 473: Chapter 473: The Origin of the Stone Black Six almost cursed in his heart, that devil, and to think he had the audacity to say such things.
Li Wenli and Bai Junjun looked at Black Six for quite a while before slowly speaking.
“What is the origin of that Stone? If you speak truthfully, you may have a chance to redeem yourself through your contributions.”
Black Six’s pupils flickered, aware that now was not the ti for loyalty.
He had already experienced Li Wenli’s thods of interrogation, which were those of a true madman, a devil.
Should he fail to cooperate, he had no doubt that this madman would throw him into a pit of snakes.
To spare himself so suffering, Black Six could only honestly start talking about what he knew.
The Stone, it dates back over a thousand years.
The Zhongshan Mountain Overlord was a man obsessed with cultivation, especially after growing old. He was exceedingly fearful of sickness and death, and the longing for immortality had almost beco a deep-seated wish.
Therefore, he sought everywhere for the secrets of immortality and later, through fate, t the City Lord of Fubo City who had acquired a trove of treasures from beyond the oceans, which included a miraculous Stone.
It was said that the Stone could suppress many mysterious powers and even intimidate the soul. So said it ca from the heavens, while others thought it might be the Soul-Settling Stone of the Underworld.
In any case, opinions were divided, but its origins were no longer traceable. However, the Zhongshan Mountain Overlord personally tested it and discovered indeed that the Stone had its wondrous aspects.
At that ti, accompanying the Stone were two Oceanic Wizards, and these foreign wizards, alongside the Yan Shi under the Overlord’s command, researched day and night, ultimately uncovering the secret of summoning Underworld Soldiers with the Stone.
As long as this thod was used to train soldiers, they beca as powerful as Underworld Soldiers, possessing imnse strength, able to fight hundreds with one, their lethality incomparable to that of the past.
Before the Zhongshan Mountain Overlord could celebrate, Fubo City was struck by divine retribution and was subrged in a torrential deluge.
The nearby seas of the Eastern Land were naturally affected too. The Zhongshan Mountain Overlord, in order to save his people from the disaster, used the Stone to calm the seas and successfully mitigated the flood. For his ritorious deeds in controlling the water, he was said to have ascended to immortality.
Of course, that is what is recorded in the history books. In reality, Black Six saw in that soaked ancient scroll that the Eastern Land was affected by the water disaster from Fubo City too, many areas were flooded, and even the place where the Zhongshan Mountain Overlord was had not a small impact.
Later, a massive epidemic and cholera outbreak occurred in the Eastern Land. The aging Zhongshan Mountain Overlord died in this outbreak.
And all these disasters began exactly 49 days after the discovery of the Art of Underworld Soldiers.
The descendants of the Zhongshan Mountain Overlord felt the Stone was too sinister and allowed it to be buried along with the Overlord.
After that, this area was always regarded as a restricted zone, not to be approached lightly.
The true story was deliberately forgotten as the Zhongshan Mountain Overlord was laid to rest.
Bai Junjun had not expected the Stone to be sothing that had drifted in from outside.
As for whether it had co from Europe, Arica, or Africa, it was no longer important. It was certainly a teorite from beyond the sky, carrying a massive magnetic field that could interfere with so mutating factors and also change so fundantal genes.
For instance, it could alter human genes to allow Corpse Fungus to proliferate within the body. But it could also restrain the expression of human Special Abilities.
If such an object were to appear during The Apocalypse, many mutated zombies, plants, and animals could be contained.
With it, the mutated beings could revert back to their Primary infection form. In fact, it was discovered in the later stages of The Apocalypse that if they had managed to contain the Primary virus in the early stages without letting it evolve and diversify, The Apocalypse could have been quickly controlled and human civilization preserved.
