Chapter 1: The untouchables rebelled in bloody chaos, and the people in the mines were like mustard

On the dark red land, there are undulating mountains and vast plains, with crisscrossing rivers, like blood vessels flowing through the decaying flesh.

The sky is covered with a faint blush, like the evening glow, but it will never change.

On the bank of a large river that is tens of miles wide and stretches for an unknown amount of time, half of a mountain has been dug up, revealing mud and stone with a darker color.

It was boiling like ants, and countless creatures were shuttled back and forth in it.

These creatures are humanoid, but their skin and flesh are mostly a strange red color, as if they were whipped all over the body and the blood is the color of the blood.

This is body color.

The hair may be black or yellow, but facing the sky light, it seems that you can see wisps of blush.

These humanoid creatures had tattered pieces of cloth hanging on their bodies, which could only cover some key locations. Silent and hunched, they carried or carried baskets of soil and boulders, quarried them, smashed them, screened them, then transported them to the river and poured them into the river.

numbness. The execution was mechanical, there was no sound, and even the look on his face was exactly the same, like rotten wood, with no trace of life in his eyes.

heartless. There was a loud bang, and a large amount of earth and rocks collapsed. There were faint screams. I don't know how many people were smashed into flesh and buried alive. The surrounding people could only take a glance and stopped paying attention. Just like eating and drinking, human life is as worthless as trash here.

Occasionally, there was a crack and the sound of a whip, followed by yelling and cursing.

I saw a monster-like figure who was nearly ten feet tall, with a complexion much darker than these numb slaves, with some dark red tentacles on his face. He grabbed a slave who fell to the ground due to fatigue, and picked up a whip. , whipped to death. Then throw it away like trash.

Dark red blood slowly leached out from under the corpse.

The slaves around him seemed to have been pressed into pause, and they all froze for a moment, looking at that man with pairs of dead eyes, which made their scalp numb.

The tall figure with a beard on his face shouted loudly, and pointed the whip at the corpse: "What are you looking at! Work! Whoever dares to be lazy, this is what will happen!"

Facing that cruel look, the slaves remained silent, lowered their heads, and returned to their original appearance.

"What a bastard!"

The man spat angrily, with a cold expression on his face.

However, not far from the mine, on a sand dune on the river bank, there were two people sitting cross-legged opposite each other. Their figures were visible in all directions against the reddish skylight. However, under the mine, it seemed that no one saw them and they were simply ignored.

One of them was wearing a chaotic-colored Taoist robe, with a calm face and an ethereal demeanor, unlike ordinary people. He wears a jade crown on his head, a jade belt around his waist, and a sword across his knees.

It is the realm of the World Tree of the multiverse, the supreme leader of the Taiyi Sect, and the Taiyi Taoist.

In front of the Taoist, sitting opposite him was a thin young man.

This young man looks no more than fourteen or fifteen years old. His face is so thin that only a piece of skin is left. His cheekbones are high, and his whole person looks like a skeleton, but his handsome outline can still be vaguely seen.

The boy's skin color is very light, with less red and more yellow. He has messy black hair. Under his eyebrows, he has a pair of pupils that are mostly black and rarely red. Although the clothes on his body are in decay, it can be seen that the material is not ordinary.

"Where is this place?"

A gleam of light flashed in the Taoist's eyes, and the young man replied numbly and mechanically: "This is a deep red mineral deposit in the middle of the Red River Hills."

Crimson mineral deposits?

When Tai Taoist heard this, his expression couldn't help but move.

He knew this crimson essence. Isn't it exactly what the Red Hun Demon Lord got from Settorak's clone projection by blackmailing him! ?

It turned out to be like a mineral deposit, mined through this method!

The Taoist understood and asked again: "What is your name? What is your origin? Where are you from? Why did you become a slave in mining?"

As soon as these words came out, the Taoist felt an almost substantive resentment gushing out from the young man's eyes.

With a thought in his heart, he quickly increased his magic power and used a soul-stirring technique.

The ferocious look on the young man's face flashed, then turned numb, and he immediately replied: "My name is Dong Shi, and I come from the Dong family, one of the three major families in the Hongyuan Empire. My family is in the capital of Hongyuan. Because of my skin color, I was I'll treat him as a cheap loan and send him to mine here."

After hearing this, the Taoist thought for a moment and said, "Because of skin color? Why is this?"

"Yes." Dongshi Machinery replied: "Skin color represents bloodline. The darker the skin color, the nobler the bloodline. The lighter the skin color, the more humble."

I see.

Tai Taoist knew what he knew, and added: "Since you are from a rich family, your bloodline inheritance must be extraordinary. Although your skin color is light, you are from a rich family after all. Could it be that your family can't protect you?"

"The royal family cannot resist the rules of the Scarlet God Religion." Dongshi replied: "My family is ashamed of me, and my peers have repeatedly bullied me."

"Well..." The Taoist nodded slightly.

That's right, since skin color is used to judge people's status, even if this young man comes from a wealthy family, he will definitely not be welcomed because of his light skin color.

However, the Taoist then thought about it, in that case, given the behavior of a wealthy family, he should be drowned after birth. Why should he be raised, not protected after he was raised, and sent here to be a slave in the mines?

So he asked.

Dongshi replied.

Taoist people know that it turns out that judging one's rank based on skin color is a long-standing rule in this world, but Dongshi comes from a wealthy family after all, so he has some privileges. Although he suffered all kinds of oppression and his life was not happy, he would not end up like this.

The root of the problem still dates back to a year ago.

What is the world view of this crimson world? Although the young man comes from a wealthy family, he is still young and does not understand it too well. He only knows the crimson empire. However, Taoists from the multiverse have not yet adapted to the differences in the appearance of the world's laws. They have magical powers and are suppressed by the world, unable to directly communicate with the laws and obtain information.

From the young man's mouth, the Taoist learned that there was a big country within tens of thousands of miles, which was the so-called Hongyuan Empire. The real master of the Red Plains Empire is not the royal family, but the Blood God Religion.

All kinds of rules are established by the divine religion, and the royal family can only follow them.

A year ago, the Patriarch of the Scarlet Cult who guarded the Red Plains Empire disappeared without any reason. This resulted in an undercurrent.

The Patriarch of this Blood God Religion has extraordinary power. The Patriarch has been suppressing it for a long time, and no one can make trouble. But under the patriarch, the rest of the congregation are ordinary people. At most, his skin color is darker, his bloodline is stronger, and he has some brute strength, but it is not extraordinary.

Because after the disappearance of the Patriarch, many people who could not bear the oppression of the Blood God Cult were ready to take action. There were even rebels in various places, gathering tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops to fight against the Scarlet God Cult.

It's complicated and tangled, but Tai Taoist people can roughly understand it with a change of heart.

What happened here was simply because the Blood God Religion lacked the extraordinary power to suppress it, and the conflict between the royal power and the divine power broke out. Probably some of the top leaders of the Hongyuan Empire were involved in this rebellion.

Otherwise, in just one year, there would be countless rebels and they would be able to gather tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of troops. Without backing support, there is nothing we can do.

However, the Blood God Sect has a profound foundation after all, and it is not something that can be overthrown by so-called rebels in just one year. As a result, after the first few battles, there was a stalemate.

Since the leaders of the rebels were mostly untouchables with light skin, the Scarlet Cult began an internal purge!

Not to mention the mere Dongshi of the Dong family, as well as the royal family, those with light skin were all treated as lowly, or killed directly, or assigned to mining.

The Blood God Religion has stood for countless years and is so powerful that the royal class does not dare to rebel directly, and is afraid that the Patriarch will return at some point, so they can only grit their teeth and endure it. They only dare to do things behind their backs and use the hands of the rebels to test the Gods. The bottom line of teaching.

From Dong Shi's words, Tai Taoist people quickly sorted out many deep-seated mysteries.

The Patriarch of the Blood God Cult disappeared, why? They were obviously recruited by Settorak and either killed or suppressed and imprisoned. To Settorak, he is the Lord of the World and the main god worshiped by the Blood Cult. But now that he has been tricked, he is extremely weak. Such heroic figures would take action against their own men just to ensure that nothing unexpected happens while they are weak. Ensure that the authority of the Crimson World will not fall by the wayside.

Mortal chaos was not looked down upon by Settorak. Even if the Scarlet God Cult loses its extraordinary power to suppress and is overthrown, as long as Settorak is still there, there will be a second Blood God Cult and a third Blood God Cult.

Tai Dao people are not sure whether the so-called patriarchs of the Scarlet God Cult, a class with extraordinary power, were really designed to be destroyed by Setorak. If not, it must be put back soon at this time, right?

Taoist Taihong was trapped by the seal, and Setorak's authority was temporarily stable. Then he can spare some energy to deal with the affairs of the Scarlet God Cult.

Speaking of which, Setorak is a tycoon who will not even spare his subordinates in order to maintain his power. But there is a premise, that is, there are no variables.

But the appearance of Taihong Taoist made Setolak feel the crisis.

If the people under him were just suppressed by him, he would definitely change his mind and rely on them again. Even if it costs a lot!

If there is one Taihong Taoist, can’t there be a second Taihong Taoist?

For example - Red Hun Demon Lord?

Compared with the people under his command, people like Taoist Taihong who can directly compete with him for world power are the most dangerous people!

Therefore, Tai Taoist people concluded that if the extraordinary class of the Scarlet God Cult were not killed by Setorak, then they would definitely come back!

And just recently.

Combining the various situations he learned from young Dong Shi with his own thoughts, Tai Taoist people had a corresponding plan!

"Rebellion... It's great to rebel, but it's not my chance?"

The Taoist stood up with a faint smile on his face.

Then he solved the soul-capturing technique. The young man Dongshi was shocked and came back to his senses. When he saw the Taoist again, a look of panic appeared on the young man's face and he shouted: "Who are you! What have you done to me?" !”

The Taoist standing in front of him was like a dark mountain, weighing him down and suffocating him.
