After some inquiries, Shen Lang learned a lot of news about the gray world.

First of all, the gray world is indeed an interface built by the ancestor Hongjun, one of the four great ancestors of the Hunyuan Era.

This world is about ten times larger than the virtual world, and the space is vast, almost as large as the three great fairy realms of Tianmu, Tianzhu and Tianmang combined after the World Annihilation War.

There are also a large number of creatures living in the gray world, but the ancestors of these creatures did not originally live in the gray world, but escaped from the real fairy world.

"Could it be that all the creatures in this world escaped from the real fairy world?" Shen Lang asked curiously.

Although the old man of the soul clan didn't understand why Shen Lang asked these questions, he still replied respectfully: "That's true."

"Countless years ago, a catastrophe occurred in the Realm of Immortals, which caused the loss of life and the destruction of all races."

"At that time, it was the gods of Zixiao Palace who opened the entrance to the gray world together, allowing a large number of creatures to enter the gray world for refuge."

"Most of the ancestors of the creatures in the gray world today escaped from the catastrophe in the real fairy world."

The disaster in the real fairy world mentioned by the old man of the soul clan should correspond to the catastrophe at the end of the Hunyuan era.

Shen Lang was relieved.

No wonder the other party worshiped Zixiao Palace so much, it turned out that it was the disciples of Zixiao Palace who saved the ancestors of the soul clan.

According to the old man of the soul clan, the gray world is not a paradise.

Most of those who flee into the Gray World die shortly after.

Because the time velocity of the Gray Realm is thousands of times faster than that of the True Immortal Realm, ordinary creatures will grow old and die soon after entering this place.

Only those races with a very long lifespan can survive and reproduce.

To this day, most of the creatures living in the gray world are monster races and soul races.

The demon cultivator has a long lifespan and a strong ability to reproduce, so he survived.

The soul race is born with strong soul power, is good at cultivation, and has a long life span, so it also multiplies and takes root in the virtual world.

Today, the monster race and the soul race are the two strongest forces in the gray world.

The soul race is spread all over the gray world, without a fixed ruler, they live in groups with families as units.

The soul clan elder in front of him is the patriarch of a large family.

"Why did those demon cultivators attack your shelter?" Shen Lang asked.

The elder of the soul clan said solemnly: "They just want to plunder the resources of our soul clan and try to get more soul stones."

"What is the soul stone?" Shen Lang asked.

The old man of the soul tribe explained: "After our soul tribe dies, it will turn into a crystal called 'soul stone'. This crystal contains pure soul power and has the ability to delay aging."

"The demon clan often plunders our clan's soul stones in order to boost the longevity of their clan's demon cultivators. This is also the main reason they attack us."

The environment of the gray world is very suitable for the survival and reproduction of the soul race. Because the soul race has no body, it is minimally affected by the flow of time. Even the weakest soul race can live for tens of thousands of years in the gray world.

But the Yaozu is different. If the Yaozu wants to live longer, they must continue to cultivate to a higher level in order to obtain a longer lifespan.

In order to live longer, the demon cultivator came up with the idea of ​​the soul stone.

"Plundering the soul stone is only one of the reasons, and another reason is that the demon clan has produced a demon emperor in recent years. That demon emperor wants to rule the entire gray world, so he ordered the group of demons to drive away or even kill the soul clan and occupy our land. living space."

"Although the soul people are all over the gray world, they lack a real leader. They have been bullied by the monsters all these years."

After the old soul clan sighed helplessly, he knelt down and worshiped Shen Lang again: "I implore the Lord Zixiao to lead our soul clan to defeat the monster clan and take back the occupied homeland."

Shen Lang had no interest in this, and said bluntly: "I am not the Zixiao God in your mouth, it is just an accident to appear here, don't expect me to be of much help to you."

After not figuring out the specific situation of the gray world, Shen Lang didn't want to be this early bird.

Even the Twelve Witch Ancestors are so afraid of the gray world, presumably the gray world must be extremely dangerous.

The old man of the soul clan thought that Shen Lang was blaming them for not being pious enough, so he knelt down on the ground immediately, and said in awe and fear: "God Zixiao, if you hadn't come here today, the big family of the old man would definitely be wiped out. I beg you Don't abandon us!"

"Since the soul race escaped and entered the gray world, they have been devoutly worshiping the people of Zixiaomen, and please God to protect us!"
