Chapter 1432 Epoch Change! New God's Encounters 9 (Page 12)

Three chapters in one!

The 5th Age of the Divine Calendar, year 0.

As the first being in the entire world of Frantis to successfully incorporate the characteristic of "silence," and also the first White Walker in the entire world.

In a way, Karen has achieved what countless mages of previous eras had pursued throughout their lives: to live a peaceful life through the period of demonic decay and to have a life so long that it is almost immortal.

Although the price was being completely disfigured and losing almost all normal human emotions and perceptions, compared to the long life that ignored the withering demon period, these costs could only be described as insignificant.

During the first millennium, Karen remained in the "Silent Zone," where she had initially transformed herself into a White Walker, carefully sensing this power that was so different from what she had once possessed.

In the second millennium, Karen began to consciously leave that "silent zone," wandering aimlessly through that frigid land at a very slow pace.

In the third millennium, Karen began venturing into other "silent zones" of the frigid lands, using the unique properties of these zones to further strengthen himself.

In the fourth millennium, the external magical tides circulated once again, and the newly developed civilization was once again tormented to the point of collapse by the withering of the demonic energy.

During this period, due to the rapid cycle of the magical tides once again, several more "silent zones" were added to the entire world of Frantis, and the original "silent zones" also expanded slightly.

……

In the fifth millennium, Karen was no longer the only White Walker in the world. As he wandered through different "Silent Zones," he discovered traces of many people outside a "Silent Zone" on the edge of the Frozen Lands.

These people are citizens of a country that was destroyed by a more powerful nation, and they fled to this godforsaken place to escape for their lives.

Karen wasn't interested in why these people were outside the "silent zone," but she was very interested in adding some of her own kind to the mix for the first time.

Karen is now on a path that is completely out of step with the rest of the world, but his power has indeed been greatly enhanced.

Although there is no clear comparison, Karen felt that the power he now possessed was absolutely no weaker than that of the legendary archmages.

Most importantly, when Karen saw those humans fleeing to the frigid lands, a strong premonition suddenly arose in her mind.

He can spread the power of "silence" and actively influence ordinary people, enabling them to embark on this new path and gain more strength for their ultimate goal.

As for whether spreading the power of "silence" to mortals would have any negative impact on them, that was not even within Karen's consideration.

And so, those ordinary people who had fled here became Karen's first experimental subjects for transforming their own kind.

Fortunately, the ending was not bad, at least for Karen, who was converting to her own kind for the first time.

The "silence" property, like a plague, spread actively through Karen, permeating the bodies of mortals and successfully gaining many of its kind.

Of course, as consumables that were transformed, those mortals inevitably suffered some "minor" losses.

Of those five-figure numbers of humans, only a few hundred were actually transformed into White Walkers; the rest became eerie, ice-blue statues.

Of course, these humans who were transformed into ice-blue statues did not completely lose their value; they became cannon fodder, even lower than the White Walkers.

……

In the sixth millennium, having had the experience of successfully transforming his own kind for the first time, Karen's behavior was no longer confined to his original aimless wandering.

He began to consciously lead his people to wander on the edge of the frigid lands, turning all the humans they encountered into his own kind.

During this process, the clan's growth rate was relatively slow, but the ice-blue, statue-like cannon fodder under its command grew exceptionally rapidly.

In just a thousand years, the number of White Walkers has grown to 100,000, and the number of the ice-blue statues that Karen called wights has exceeded 10 million.

This is because the number of humans who actually live near extremely cold places is very small; otherwise, this number would be at least ten times or even more.

In the seventh millennium, with Karen and his people relentlessly spreading their power, the White Walkers began to continuously influence the Silent Zone of the Frozen Lands.

All the "silent zones" are expanding, and fewer and fewer places in the frigid lands remain unaffected.

In the eighth millennium, the entire frigid lands of the continent of Frantis were completely shrouded in the "Silent Zone," where the possibility of the magical tides reviving was no longer possible.

This place became the absolute stronghold of the White Walkers.

Because of the opposing forces, even though the area outside the extreme cold has experienced another surge of magical energy over the past few thousand years, no magician is willing to approach this place.

Their instinctive aversion, apprehension, and even fear of the "silent" nature of the extreme cold meant that even if someone tried, they could not venture too far into the extreme cold.

Therefore, the outside world has no idea that there are monsters called White Walkers in this place, and what kind of impact they will have on the world in the future.

……

In the ninth millennium, after several thousand years of expansion and transformation, the number of White Walkers and wights has increased dramatically compared to before.

Just then, the world outside the frigid lands once again entered the final stage of the peak of the magical tide, and was about to usher in another period of demonic depletion.

Whether it was because he couldn't suppress his disgust or because he wanted to train his troops in advance, Karen led the White Walkers away from the frigid lands for the first time.

He's ready to clash with the world of Frantis.

The result of this attempt made Karen realize that the power she had accumulated was far from enough.

When they left the Frozen Lands, the aura emanating from the White Walkers created a conflicting and incompatible force with the world of Flanders, significantly suppressing the power of all the White Walkers who left the Frozen Lands.

As for the even larger number of ghouls, many collapsed directly in this conflict, causing Karen to lose a considerable number of his legions before he could even truly engage with the life forms outside.

Worse still, as they moved further away from the frigid lands, their conflict with the true origins of Frantis worsened their condition.

As a result, when a real conflict broke out with the magician kingdom, which was not yet completely silent, Karen did not achieve the effect she wanted.

Although the "silent" nature of the attack caught the other party off guard and caused them huge losses, this was never the result Karen wanted.

He wanted to fight against the entire world system, not just a single magical kingdom.

Therefore, after defeating that magical kingdom, Karen did not continue to expand outwards, but instead led the remaining White Walkers and wights back to the Frozen Lands.

Little did anyone know the immense shock and uproar caused by the appearance of the White Walkers and their direct defeat of a powerful magical kingdom.

From then on, legends of undead monsters from the frigid far north began to circulate on the continent of Frantis.

……

Thousands of years later, the continent of Frantis experienced another cycle of magical tides, and during this process, Karen began to actively convert her people and frantically increase the number of the ghoul legion.

He proceeded steadily, not directly attacking the magical realm as he had the first time. Instead, he used the "silence" of all the White Walkers to gradually erode their territory, slowly expanding the "Silent Zone," which was originally confined to the Frozen Lands, into a wider world beyond the Frozen Lands.

In this process, the magical kingdoms that rise in the new cycle no longer attack each other, but instead unite to fight against the expansion of the White Walkers.

Unfortunately, while White Walkers and magic counter each other, silence is significantly more effective at countering magic than magic is at countering silence.

This often forces magical kingdoms to pay a higher price for relatively less reward.

Furthermore, all warriors who die on the battlefield are transformed into the White Walkers' legions, with a chance that new White Walkers may even be born.

This made the magical kingdom realize that they could no longer follow the White Walkers' war rhythm, otherwise they would be completely destroyed by them sooner or later.

Therefore, these powerful magical kingdoms, together with all the remaining kingdoms of the continent of Frantis, used their national strength to build a wonder called the Wall of Despair, around the most advantageous terrain closest to the frigid lands.

In order to build the Wall of Despair, these nations spared no effort in contributing all kinds of rare treasures and all possible magical knowledge, which is why this miracle, which stretches for countless light-years, was successfully built.

The successful construction of the Wall did indeed stop the White Walkers from expanding further, which finally brought a sigh of relief to those magical kingdoms.

What they failed to notice was that throughout the entire construction of the Wall, the White Walkers and the army of wights never launched a large-scale invasion against them, and Karen, the White Walker leader whom the sorcerers called the Night King, never appeared even once.

I have to say, it's terrifying to think about!

……

On the Wall of Despair, all the magical kingdoms have sent their respective legions to garrison it, and have issued orders that the legions must never leave.

From then on, the legions on the Wall were completely cut off from the outside world, becoming a special life gathering place that operated relatively independently.

They remained stationed there for the rest of the years.

Meanwhile, those magical kingdoms thought that after successfully building the Wall, they could usher in a period of peace.

However, to everyone's surprise, less than a hundred years after the completion of the Great Wall of Despair, the Desolate Demon Period arrived again.

And so, those magical kingdoms collapsed, while the legions that remained at the Wall survived, but they also lost the ability to use magic.

As the tradition has been passed down from generation to generation, the legions on the Wall have changed countless times, and the new legions are almost forgetting the significance of their presence here.

Even the humans on the continent of Frantis, beyond the Great Wall, only knew that a massive miracle existed in the north of the continent, but had little understanding of its specific function.

……

The 5th Age of the Divine Calendar, year 0.

Another 1500 years passed, and a small fluctuation occurred in the magical tides of Frantis.

This fluctuation is different from the extreme ones in the past; it is actually quite stable.

After reaching a relatively active level, but far from being a peak, it came to a halt, ushering in a unique era in which magic reappeared, but was far from comparable to the peak.

Most importantly, during this relatively stable magical tide, the continent south of the Wall entered an incredibly long summer, and the winter that everyone had become accustomed to never appeared again.

It's hard to say whether this extreme climate change is the magical source of the continent of Frantis using this method to combat the forces and life of the north.

However, it must be said that this stable state did allow the continent of Frantis to enter a relatively longer period of normal development than before.

Of course, this normal development only refers to the overall state of the entire continent, and does not mean that there is no conflict among life within the continent.

……

The 5th Age of the Divine Calendar, year 0.

That year, another major event occurred on the continent of Frantis that everyone had to pay attention to.
