The wind that came from nowhere howled and swept across the ruins of the ruins.
Collapsed altar, broken stone tablet, broken stone and broken pillars in one place.
The huge male lion closed his eyes, fell to the ground, and lowered his head.
The golden mane undulating in the wind, as if you could hear the rustling sound of the mane blowing endlessly.
Garlan was stunned in place, with an unbelievable look in his eyes.
"Shamir?"
In shock, he called out the name again.
"It's me, prince."
The golden lion raised his head, his huge eyes staring at Garlan.
"… "
Garland was a little dazed and a little overwhelmed.
He reached out and stroked the mane of the lion standing in front of him.
There is a real touch of the thick mane in the fingers, and the fingertips can feel the warm flesh under the mane.
Standing in front of him is not an illusion, but a real existence.
The familiar touch came from his hand. When he was young, when Nega was still young, he would always ride on the lion named Chamil, relying on the power of King Kamos.
Chamir is different from the lively Nega, his temperament is very quiet and calm, and he is always lazy on weekdays.
Although he seemed to be carrying him impatiently under the orders of King Camos, he walked slowly and steadily every time he carried him, and he never let him fall off once.
When he and Nega were playing in the lion park, although it didn't respond, it always looked at them quietly, as if guarding them.
It can be said that Chamil is more like a majestic father than King Camos.
The lifespan of a lion has always been only twenty years, and the lifespan of a lion that often fights is even shorter. The first time he met Chamil, it was in his prime.
Later, when he grew up, Nega grew up, and Chamil was old, and could no longer walk around slowly behind his back.
Then, suddenly one day, Chamil disappeared, and he couldn't find it.
Brother Camos said that Chamil didn't want people to see him dying of old age, so he left quietly before he died and found a place that no one knew as his cemetery.
At that time, he was sad for a long time, and Niega also withered for a long time.
He still remembered the old appearance of Chamil at that time.
Time is cruel, and even the mighty king of beasts is no match for the erosion of time.
But now, Shamir standing in front of him was as strong and majestic as when he first met him.
He saw his own shadow in Chamil's eyes, the appearance of his youth.
If it weren't for the difference in the surrounding scenery, Garlan would have the illusion of returning to the past again.
"You are here... and this place..."
Garlan's mind was so confused that he stuttered when he spoke.
"I'm back here again... Does that mean, I, I'm dead again?"
too suddenly.
Garland panicked.
He hadn't had time to say anything, and there were still many things that he hadn't had time to explain to Ximulkejos and the others.
Obviously he has already thought about what to do next, at least give him time to leave a last word before his death.
and also…
And... Heimos... If he dies, what will he... do
"No, prince, you are still alive."
"Ah? But, every time I've been here before I've died..."
"There is no time, this place will disappear soon, so I have introduced your soul here."
"Soul? This... I don't understand..."
Garlan shook his head, only to feel that his mind was in chaos, but in the chaos, he suddenly remembered something, and his pupils contracted violently.
"Shamir! If this is the place where the souls of the dead are, and you are here, what about Brother Wang?"
He stared at the golden lion nervously and expectantly with his eyes open, his voice trembling.
"You should be by Brother Wang's side, you are here, Brother Wang should be here, isn't he here now?!"
The majestic lion's eyes were like coals of fire, and he looked at the excited boy in front of him.
Its huge head swayed slightly, and its thick mane swayed slightly.
"My king is no longer here, prince."
Its thick and heavy voice resounded in this dead place.
"So, you can only be here now."
"What's the meaning?"
Garland was taken aback.
Immediately afterwards, he seemed to realize something, and the hand holding the lion's mane suddenly clenched.
"Bring me here from my original world and reborn me again and again..."
As if afraid of getting an answer, his voice paused here, but insisted on asking.
"… Is that you, Chamil?"
"No, it's my king."
"… "
Garland didn't speak.
Chamil's words have already made him understand a lot.
His hand gripping the mane forcefully loosened, and some pale lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't say anything.
The boy closed his eyes, the shadow of his eyelashes fell on his cheek.
[My king is not here.]
[Therefore, you can only be here now.]
In this world, no matter what you do, you have to pay the same price.
And the price of his rebirth again and again...
"No need to be sad, prince, you have completed my king's entrustment."
the lion said,
"You have recast your destiny."
"History and destiny have both returned to the right path."
"The gods will also recover."
Garlan opened his eyes, and he grasped one of the words keenly.
"recovery?"
Staring at Gallan, the lion did not answer this question immediately, but first solved another doubt in his heart.
"After my king's death, he was believed by all the people because of his outstanding achievements in the world, and because the former god of war, Assyria, just fell not long ago, the throne of God has been vacant for a hundred years."
"So, the sun god Shamash sent his mount from the kingdom of heaven, took our king to the kingdom of heaven, and gave him the throne of the god of war."
"I accompany my king to ascend to heaven, and because of this, I was given a touch of divinity by Shamash."
The lion's majestic eyes stared at the prince in front of him, with a hint of gentleness hidden in his eyes.
"That's why, Prince, I can talk to you like this."
It raised its head and looked around the ruined land, with a humanized sigh on its face.
"The beginning of everything... must start from the age of the gods a long time ago..."
…
…
There is destiny in this world.
That is the unparalleled power.
Even the gods cannot control their destiny and can only follow the line of destiny.
Long, long ago, the world was in chaos.
In chaos, there is only one god.
God of all things.
The power of the god of all things is the power of chaos. Later, she fell into a deep sleep, and while she was sleeping, the sun god Shamash was born from her source.
Then, the gods were born one after another.
The birth of each god will cause part of the divine power of the God of all things to disappear, or in other words, her divine power will be differentiated into those gods.
The power of the mother goddess of all things is derived from the sky and the earth, derived from the gods, and derived from all things in the world.
She will eventually disappear and become everything in the world.
This is her doomed destiny.
However, this powerful god is not willing to sacrifice himself and transform into all things, let alone disappear.
She wanted to wake up from her slumber.
If the god of all things revives, everything in the world will return to chaos, and the gods will once again become part of the mother goddess of all things.
So, the war inevitably broke out.
In that battle, the sky and the earth shook, and the sky was dark.
In the end, after paying a very heavy price, the gods knocked down the mother goddess of all things into the abyss and let her sleep again.
However, before being forced to fall asleep, the God of All Things made a final blow of hatred, cutting off a corner of his destiny.
The thread of fate is broken.
If it cannot continue, fate will collapse because of this.
Thus, the Son of Heaven was born.
Make up for the missing part of the line of destiny, continue the trajectory of destiny, and guard the operation of cause and effect of heaven and earth.
That is the mission of the Son of Destiny.
"The son of destiny that came into being, the prince, is you."
"Under the gaze of the gods, you were born into the world."
"When you were born, the whole heaven was shaken, and the gods were calling your name."
"Then, according to the trajectory of fate, you became my king's younger brother, the prince of Aaron Landis."
"The part of fate that was cut off is the part after my king."
"After my king, you shall inherit my king's crown, take the throne, and be the king of Aaron Landis, until you are connected to the other end of the broken thread of destiny."
It sounds simple, but it is a place that even the gods dare not set foot on easily.
The missing part of the thread of destiny, because of the lack of a predetermined path, the rules of the world cannot govern this time.
The power of chaos is great, black and white are unknown, the group of demons dances wildly, and the day and night are reversed.
Just like the sea with stormy waves under the thunderstorm, it is extremely dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss.
Only the Son of Destiny, who came into being, can suppress the power of chaos and suppress all chaos.
"Prince, that is your past life."
Chamil's rich voice echoed in the ruins.
However, the gods did not realize that before the mother goddess of all things fell asleep again, a small seed was planted in the world.
Seizing the hearts of human greed and desire, she lent that little residual weak power to human beings, and by their own hands, ruined their own destiny.
The power of the gods cannot interfere in the world, and even if the power is forcibly lowered, it will be swallowed up by the rules of the world.
However, all things in the world are originally formed by the power of the mother goddess of all things, and the origin is the same. Therefore, the weak power left by the mother goddess of all things escaped the monitoring of the rules of the world.
"In your true past life, that night in Judas City..."
Following Chamil's remarks, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed, and the surroundings became pitch black.
Garlan floated in the dark night sky, he lowered his head and looked at the city lit by flames below.
He remembered that it was that night of war.
A sleepless night in Judas City.
That night he will never forget.
He floated in the night sky, watching that scene reappear in front of his eyes again.
However, it was different from what he experienced.
What he saw was that King Camos died under the poison of the betrayer.
What he saw was that 'he' was fighting hard in the enemy army under the escort of the guards, trying to rush out of Judas City.
Just as 'he' was about to rush out of the city gate—
A sharp arrow struck from the darkness.
Runs through his heart from behind 'him'.
'He' fell off his horse, fell to the ground, and stopped breathing.
The believer of the religion of all things, lurking in the darkness, killed 'him'.
"Those foolish humans have destroyed their only hope with their own hands."
Standing in the dark night sky like him, Chamil looked down at the scene below with cold eyes.
The night wind whistled, making its thick mane rustled.
"That is to say, my real previous life died in Rudas City like my brother?"
The lion nodded, and it continued.
"You and my king died, and then the king city fell, Aaron Landis fell, and Prince Heimos abandoned most of Aaron Landis's land and let it fall into the hands of many countries..."
Even if Chamil didn't say it, Garlan could guess it.
The subsequent development is probably the same as what he had seen in his dream.
Since then, the fire of war has never disappeared from the earth.
One war after another is endless, never ending.
Countless people were killed in the war, the land was desolate, and white bones could be seen everywhere.
The people of the earth are struggling in the fire of war...
The surrounding scenery changed again, and Garlan found himself back in the ruins.
"With the demise of Aaron Landis, in the never-ending war, the people of the earth gradually despaired and ceased to believe in the gods."
"Losing the faith of the people, the gods gradually weakened. As time went on, the situation became more and more serious. They finally couldn't maintain the throne, the throne began to shatter, and their power was also lost."
"The weak gods only began to fall one after another, and the powerful gods had to fall into a deep sleep just to avoid the fate of falling. In the end, even the most powerful sun god, Shamash, fell into an eternal sleep, my king. The same is true."
"After the gods fell asleep, the continent of Aaron Landis sank to the bottom of the sea forever in an earthquake and was completely destroyed."
"After that, more than two thousand years later, my king woke up from his deep sleep..."
The continent of Aaron Landis was destroyed, the power of faith was completely lost, and the gods could no longer wake up.
However, only Camos is different.
Among the sleeping gods, only Kamos was given the throne by Shamash as a human being and became a new god.
The power that supports his throne is not only the belief of the people, but also his extraordinary achievements and his own powerful soul.
For two thousand years, the names of the gods have all vanished in the passage of time.
Only Camos, as the lion king of the legendary lost land of Aaron Landis, left an immortal name in history and was remembered by many later generations.
That is also a kind of faith.
With the weak belief of later generations, Camos woke up from his slumber.
After he wakes up, in order to save the ruined Aaron Landis, in order to save the king's younger brother who has been reincarnated from generation to generation under the curse of the fallen god—
At the cost of sacrificing his eternal throne, Kamos sent Gallan's soul back to his previous life.
"My king said that only you, the prince, can recast the destiny."
However, history is not so easily changed.
The inertia of history that has been formed is extremely powerful.
Like a small butterfly flapping its wings, it can cause a huge storm on the seashore.
When the souls of later generations break into the river of time in the past, the inertia of history will then trigger the butterfly effect at some key points, so as to prevent the change of history.
In addition, the power of the god of all things, who had a premonition, counterattacked wildly...
As a result, Heimos had an accident when he was a child. Although he should have survived, his temperament became cruel and violent. He killed Gallan again and again and took away the throne.
Aaron Landis still went to the end of destruction again and again.
It wasn't until the last time that the strongest power that erupted after the smashing of the Throne was able to contain the power that guarded history, sending Gallan's soul back to when he was young, and preventing that accident.
And this time, he finally succeeded in correcting the trajectory of his fate.
…
The ruins were quiet, and Garlan leaned over and knelt on the ground.
His hand pressed lightly on the broken altar stone on the ground.
"This is the king's throne?...Isn't it?"
The golden lion did not answer.
But silence is the answer.
Garlan closed his eyes, his long blond hair fell from his shoulders and fell on the gravel at his feet.
There was silence for a long time.
After a long time, he finally spoke again.
"[Out of time]...?"
Garland repeated these words softly.
"Shamir, you can tell me now, who is Heimos?"
he asks.
The lion's shadow was clearly reflected in the clear golden pupils.
This time, the lion finally answered after a long silence.
"Heimos..."
it says,
"He is your successor, King of Aaron Landis."
... that original fate trajectory...
King Camos was poisoned to death in the city of Judas.
Prince Garland rushed out of the city of Judas, and then joined Prince Heimos, who came with his army.
Together, the two fought off the Gasthards and saved Aaron Landis.
Subsequently, Garland succeeded to the throne.
Because of his fair and wise ruling like Shamash, he was called the wise king by later generations.
Under the reign of the wise king, Aaron Landis, who had been precarious, returned to stability.
King Gallan's policy was to recuperate and recuperate. Therefore, during his reign, Aaronlandis' economy gradually prospered and his national strength gradually became stronger.
King Garland reigned for five years.
Five years later, he died of illness.
After the death of King Xianming, Heimos succeeded to the throne and began to vigorously develop the military.
In the second year after he succeeded to the throne, he led an army to completely defeat the Gasthards in the west, and incorporated Canal, which was occupied by the Gasthards, into the territory of Aaron Landis.
Then he began to expand outwards on a massive scale.
In the next ten years, he successively defeated and annexed many countries such as Geshu and Iss, and led the army of Aaron Landis to travel all over the continent, conquering all the countries on the continent.
At this point, Aaron Landis unified the continent.
The Empire of Aaron Landis was born.
It was the largest empire in ancient history.
Heimos, the thirty-seventh king of Aaron Landis.
He is the successor of the wise king Garlan.
He led the army to the north and south, and he never failed in his life. He expanded the territory of Aaron Landis to the entire continent of Aaron Landis and established a huge empire.
Later generations called him, Heimos the Great.
The author has something to say: Aaron Landis will unify the entire continent of Aaron Landis, expanding from a kingdom to an empire.
Guys know this.
…
However, I don't know if you guys have thought about it.
In history, the title of Gallan has always been, [Wise King].
