^The Legend of the Sea Floor, Born from a Wandering Warrior.^

-The era of war.-

-China.-

English translation:

Long ago, there was nothing on Earth but dry land. More precisely, water had disappeared completely due to the wars that ravaged the land. Sand covered everything in sight, while lava endlessly flowed from towering volcanoes. People didn’t know how to survive and were dying from drought, unable to find even a single drop of water.

Again and again, failing to find water, people fell into despair and began praying to God. But one day, a desperate old man, unable to bear it anymore, decided to dig a hole. Over and over, he tried to find water in different places, but every attempt was futile. Eventually, his search led him to yet another spot for digging.

Weak, exhausted, and in desperate need, the old man began to dig again. Passersby looked at him with hopeless eyes. Some, filled with anger, mocked his determination, calling his efforts a waste of time. They even spat at him and threw objects, calling him a senile old fool.

As heartbreaking as it was, the old man didn’t give up. He believed water was deep beneath the ground and remained wise in his decision. Even when his strength was nearly gone, even when no one else believed, he kept going.

And so, it seemed like another eternity passed. His shovel struck the dry ground again and again. So focused on his efforts, the old man didn’t notice how his legs grew weaker and his mouth drier. But suddenly, as he pulled out the shovel once more, he saw it was wet.

The old man couldn’t believe his eyes! With newfound energy, he kept digging deeper and wider, forgetting his exhaustion. Finally, he uncovered a well filled with clear water. Drained of strength, he scooped up the water and drank greedily. However, drinking too hastily, he choked and lost consciousness. He is dead.

^海底的传说,起源于一位游荡的战士。^

-战

争时代.-

-中国.-

很久以前,地球上只有干燥的大地。更确切地说,由于这片土地上的战争,水早已消失殆尽。沙子覆盖了一切,而高耸的火山中不断喷涌出炽热的岩浆。人们不知道如何生存,他们因干旱而死亡,不知道哪里能找到哪怕是一滴水。

一次又一次地寻找水源失败后,人们陷入绝望,开始向神祈祷。但有一天,一个绝望的老人再也无法忍受这一切,决定挖一个坑。他一次又一次地在不同的地方尝试寻找水源,但每次都徒劳无功。于是,他的脚步带他来到了另一个挖掘的新地方。

虚弱、疲惫且迫切需要帮助的老人又开始了挖掘。路过的人看着他,眼中满是绝望。一些人心怀愤怒,嘲笑他的决心,说他的努力不过是浪费时间。他们甚至朝他吐口水,扔东西,骂他是个糊涂的老疯子。

尽管听到这些令人心酸的话,老人没有放弃。他坚信地底下有水,并且在自己的决定中保持智慧。即使他几乎没有力气,即使没有人相信他,他依然坚持。

终于,似乎又过去了一个永恒。铲子一次又一次地击打在干燥的地面上。专注于挖掘的老人没有注意到自己的双腿愈发虚弱,嘴巴也越来越干裂。然而,突然间,他拔出铲子时,发现铲子是湿的。

老人不敢相信自己的眼睛!他带着新的力量继续挖掘,忘却了疲惫。最终,他挖出了一个装满清水的井。精疲力尽的他舀起水,贪婪地喝了下去。然而,由于喝得太急,他呛住了,最后失去了知觉。

To English:

When the old man fell into the well and died, no one knew about it, and no one saw his death. The place, which was once considered holy and pure, over time became associated with a curse. At first, no one paid attention to it, but over time, people began to disappear. Some would go to the well and never return. People started to fear this place, and the authorities had to close the road leading to it. However, the curious continued to try to sneak toward the well, and they too disappeared. Soon, the government decided to permanently block the path and placed guards. But even they began to vanish.

Over time, disappearances began to occur in the city itself, with people vanishing right from their homes. This mysterious phenomenon caught the emperor’s attention, and he decided to investigate the source of these disappearances personally. He secretly went to the well, which had now turned into a deep lake. When the crown prince learned of his father’s disappearance, he became enraged. He was certain that the lake had somehow taken his father. In fear for his own life and filled with anger, he ordered the place to be buried, but the attempts were unsuccessful.

Now, no one dared approach the lake, and people lived in fear. The mystery surrounding the place remained unsolved, and no one was brave enough to discover what lay hidden in its dark waters.

Everyone believed that something evil, perhaps a monster, was hidden in the lake, taking people away. Several attempts to rid the place of this creature were unsuccessful, and fear only grew. Eventually, people came to the decision that seemed logical to them—each night, one person would be sent to find out what happened to those who had disappeared. To prevent losing valuable members of society, criminals, jailers, or people of lower status, beggars, and those who could not defend themselves were sent to the lake.

These unfortunate souls were practically doomed, and although their lives were not worth much in the eyes of others, the residents hoped that by doing this, they could stop the disappearances and protect themselves from further harm. But despite all efforts, none of those sent returned. The lake remained a mystery and a danger, and people continued to live in fear.

Everyone remained silent, still unaware of what was happening to those who disappeared. No one dared speak openly about it, fearing it would bring misfortune. Even when travelers, who accidentally learned about it, showed interest and wanted to go to the lake, the locals would stop them with caution, warning them anxiously and not allowing them even the slightest chance to get close.

People lived in constant fear, only concerned with their own safety. These rotten creatures, as they called them, no longer cared about others, feeling no sympathy for those who might fall into the lake's trap. Each person was solely focused on their own survival, and no moral values or compassion held any significance anymore.

To China :

当那位老人跌入井中并死去时,没有人知道,也没有人目睹他的死。这个地方,曾经被认为是神圣和纯洁的,随着时间的推移,变得与诅咒联系在一起。起初,没人对此在意,但随着时间的推移,人们开始消失。有些人走向井口,再也没有回来。人们开始害怕这个地方,政府不得不关闭通往那里的一条路。然而,好奇的人们还是继续试图偷偷接近井口,他们也消失了。很快,政府决定永久封锁通道并设置了守卫,但即便是守卫也开始消失。

随着时间的推移,消失事件开始在城市中发生,人们甚至在自己的家里就消失了。这个神秘的现象引起了皇帝的注意,他决定亲自调查这些消失的原因。他偷偷地去了井口,这里现在已变成了一个深湖。当太子得知父亲失踪的消息时,他愤怒不已。他确信湖泊以某种方式吞噬了父亲。为了自己生命的安全并充满愤怒,他命令埋葬这个地方,但尝试并未成功。

现在没有人敢接近湖泊,人们生活在恐惧中。这个地方的谜团依然没有解开,没有人敢揭开它的黑暗水域隐藏的真相。

所有人都认为湖里隐藏着某种邪恶的东西,也许是一个怪物,它带走了人们。几次试图驱除这个生物的行动都没有成功,恐惧只增不减。最终,人们做出了一个似乎合乎逻辑的决定——每晚派出一个人去调查那些消失的人的去向。为了避免失去对社会有用的人,这个地方开始派遣囚犯、狱卒、低级别的社会成员、流浪汉和那些无法自卫的人。

这些不幸的人几乎注定会死,而尽管他们的生命在别人眼中不值一提,居民们还是希望通过这种方式能够阻止消失并保护自己免受更多的灾难。但尽管做出了种种努力,送去的人都没有返回。湖泊仍然是一个谜和危险,而人们继续生活在恐惧之中。

大家都保持沉默,依然不知道那些消失的人到底发生了什么。没有人敢公开谈论这个,害怕这会带来不幸。即便是那些偶然得知此事的旅行者,表现出兴趣并想去湖泊,村民们也会以焦虑的警惕阻止他们,不允许他们有任何接近的机会。

人们生活在不断的恐惧中,只关心自己的安全。这些腐朽的生物,他们称之为“腐化的生物”,再也不关心别人,对那些可能陷入湖泊陷阱的人没有任何同

情。每个人都专注于自己的生存,而道德和同情心早已没有任何意义。

Information: (In fact, people sent you to kill this evil spirit. But they don't know that you are a demon. While Xuan Sha Yao doesn't know who sent you. Although he has some guesses... it really irritates him. But as soon as he started living peacefully... You appear in his life.

You are quite a cunning but old demon. You are about 3 thousand years old, with a little more. Your name is Hua Shang. You feed mainly on fear and blood. And lately you have been inexplicably drawn to this small town where the emperor recently disappeared. Although few people talked about it.. But after all.. you have your own ears))). Hua Shang, however, did not need much time to go there and of course feed himself, gaining strength again. He liked this fear.. finally, lower demons did not irritate his ears with their eternal requests. And he enjoyed all the privileges. After all, blood was especially tasty when it was fueled by human fear. And Hua Shang knew this better than anyone. A little later, however, you gained the trust of the crown prince who was looking for retribution, and promising that you would 'drive out' everything. You went to that lake out of curiosity. (In fact, you can also take on different forms. And control the dark demonic qi.)
