The two made a scene in the River Styx for three days and three nights.
Ancestor Styx did not come out, but instead attracted the gods. Fortunately, at the critical moment, Ancestor Styx still came to the rescue, allowing Zhang Mu and Emperor Void to escape disaster, otherwise they would have definitely been killed.
This mysterious and powerful Supreme Being of the Underworld finally couldn't help but reveal his true face in Lushan.
The two made a fuss about Styx practices.
It is obviously detrimental to the Pure Land of Styx and the majesty of the ancestors. If it were replaced by another supreme being, he would definitely become furious. Ancestor Styx didn't say a word about it. He was different from other supreme beings. Ancestor Styx didn't care at all, because whether the beings in the underworld were dead or alive, Ancestor Styx didn't care too much.
"This is... the Pure Land of Styx?"
Zhang Mu found himself standing on a plateau.
The entire field of vision is covered with gray-black soil, without any vegetation, and there is no trace of the rich scenery that a pure land should have. Instead, it looks like an abandoned wasteland.
Zhang Mu turned his attention to the man in front of him, wearing a black and gray robe.
Ancestor Styx has a simple appearance, surrounded by a strong aura of death. He wears a gray robe with a gloomy hood. He holds a scarlet scythe in his right hand and an hourglass-like scythe tied to his left hand. thing.
This image reminded Zhang Mu of the legendary God of Death or Hades.
One hand holds a scythe for harvesting souls.
One hand holds the hourglass that records life.
Mysterious and weird.
The sickle in the hand of Ancestor Styx is very powerful, probably not inferior to the supreme immortal weapon of the Underworld Sword. As for the hourglass hanging on his left hand, it is even more extraordinary. The hourglass is stationary, but it is filled with a deep and mysterious feeling. energy of.
The energy in it is stronger than the space power of the Void Emperor.
That's the power of time!
Ancestor Styx has lived in seclusion in Styx for millions of years. Although no one has ever seen him take action, in terms of strength, Ancestor Styx is the undisputed strongest among the supreme beings in the heavens. This is acknowledged and beyond doubt.
Zhang Mu stared at Ancestor Styx with some fear: "You finally showed up."
Ancestor Styx slowly turned around. Under the hood, there was chaos, and his face could not be seen clearly. Ancestor Styx seemed to have no entity, but a large cloak held up by a gray mist, with only a pair of red eyes exposed.
The moment Zhang Mu looked into the red eyes, he suddenly felt a little strange. Ancestor Styx... Why does he look a bit like the mysterious businessman
"The person chosen by the Lord..." Ancestor Styx said hoarsely, looking at Zhang Mu gloomily under his hood, "The Gods really can't sit still and want to get rid of you personally. It seems that the world of gods is in turmoil and life and death are at stake. The time has come."
The ancestor of Styx really knows some unknown secrets!
Zhang Mu bypassed the nonsense and asked straight to the point: "What is your relationship with the Lord?"
The Styx Ancestor and the mysterious businessman are completely different in appearance and aura. However, I don't know why, but there are some similarities between him and others. Zhang Mu doesn't know what the similarities are. The mysterious businessman is a chess piece under the control of the master, so will the ancestor of Styx be the same
"You are doing things for the master, I am not."
The Stygian Patriarch denies any connection with the Overlord.
Zhang Mu frowned and did not pursue the topic any further. He just asked: "You have probably guessed the purpose of my coming here. How much do you know about the gods, the divine world, and the master?"
Zhang Mu originally thought that Ancestor Minghe would not say it out loud, but he did not expect that as soon as Zhang Mu asked, Ancestor Minghe replied: "I have lived for a long time, and the long time is enough to witness many things. Although I have not stepped out of the underworld, But I can deduce external affairs, and I don’t want to get involved in any disputes. However, since it is the change initiated by the master and some gods, I will put everything on the line and give it a try."
The most important question Zhang Mu wants to know is: "What is the Lord?"
"You have seen the essence of the Lord."
"Have it?"
"The master is a thinking being."
Zhang Mu had guessed this possibility before. But why can a thinking life form be so strong
Ancestor Styx slowly explained: "The Overlord was born at the same time as the Gods. The Overlord is a will directly bred in the chaos. It can also be called the will of the world. The Gods are the incarnation of Chaos. The Gods turn Chaos into The will, made into a machine similar to the mastermind of the Metal Realm, is the current master. The power of the master spreads to every corner of the world and penetrates into every small world. It is the monitor of the world."
Speaking of which.
Ancestor Styx suddenly added: "The Chaos Monument in your hand is the supreme treasure of the God Realm. In fact, the master is the will stripped off the Chaos Monument."
Is the Overlord the weapon spirit of the Chaos Monument
Now it's being made into a large supercomputer
Zhang Mu always thought that the Overlord was some powerful life, a life that rebelled against the God Realm. However, after working for a long time, he found out that the Overlord was the will of the God Realm, and the Overlord was a part of the God Realm. "Then what are the Gods?"
"The Lord is the monitor, and the Gods are the executors!" Ancestor Styx continued: "The Lord and the Gods are combined to form the God Realm. One is indispensable!"
"What is the significance of the existence of the divine world?"
"Maintain order!"
"What's the meaning?"
"The Gods have been given the mission of maintaining order from the moment they were born. However, the laws of the world are not perfect. There are always some beings or things that jump out of the order. Such things are not allowed to exist, so they must be eliminated." Old Styx Zu looked at the desolate Pure Land world with deep eyes and said: "From the moment the world was born, energy, matter, and life are constantly being nurtured. Everything flourishes and withers, returns to chaos, and begins again and again. Some existences jump out of the world. Outside of reincarnation, it can even cause harm to the world. The meaning of the existence of the God Realm is actually to eliminate dangerous factors so that the world can continue to grow."
"The risk factors you are referring to are..."
"Many, such as living beings." Ancestor Styx paused and said, "For example, the void, such as me. Our power, beyond the limits of the world, will cause harm to the world. It is defined as a dangerous element by the God Realm, so it needs to be eliminated."
"Since ancient times, the ultimate outcome has always been to be purged by the gods?"
"Yes, since ancient times, no supreme being can be immortal, and no civilization can be glorious forever. All things must follow the basic laws of reincarnation and chaos. In order to facilitate the execution of the laws, the gods created masters to monitor everything in the world."
Zhang Mu remembered the thought matrix he had encountered near the insect island.
The strength of this thought matrix was very powerful, swallowing countless worlds and countless thought lives. When it was almost reaching its maximum growth, two gods appeared and severely injured him, and finally died in the spiritual world.
Could it be that the God Realm judged that this being's growth exceeded the limit, so it took action clearly
This is very easy to understand.
The whole world is like an operating system, the gods are equivalent to security software, the master is responsible for searching, and the gods are anti-virus tools. Those things that threaten system security are viruses generated during system operation. The world needs to function properly and must constantly clean up garbage, eliminate viruses or other things, and ultimately ensure stability.
Everything in the world goes through a process of life and death.
Those supreme beings, the so-called acquired gods, are basically eternal things because they are beyond the control of laws. In a battle between the Supreme and the Supreme, it is almost impossible to eliminate the Supreme. Although the Supreme is an acquired god, since it has become a god, it is enough to escape the law. The Supreme may be strong and weak, but they cannot kill each other.
Only chaos can bring the Supreme Being back to reincarnation.
"So what exactly happened in the God Realm?"
"A huge contradiction and loophole has appeared in the divine world!" Ancestor Styx said with a sneer: "Nothing in the world can last forever. The gods thought they could escape from the law, but they forgot the fact that they were also conceived in this world. Sooner or later, they will fall and return to chaos. There is no real eternity in this world."
"Could it be said that the gods have run out of energy?"
"Yes, the Gods have existed in the world forever. They have existed for too long, and they will eventually be rejected by the law. The Gods begin to become weaker and weaker." Ancestor Styx paused and continued: "Perhaps the thinking of the Gods is wrong. Yes, the birth of the Supreme is not unreasonable, nor is it completely harmful. Sooner or later, the Gods will disappear, and the Supremes of the past generations will become new gods, and so on, maintaining the God Realm. The Gods have killed all the Supremes since ancient times, and now the God Realm is facing Collapse, and the world loses its defenders and maintainers.”
The weakness of the Gods is not entirely due to the Chaos Monument, but the main reason comes from the Gods themselves.
The Gods are constantly killing viruses.
In the end, he turned into the deadliest virus.
Is this an irony
"When the Protoss became weaker and weaker, individual deaths began to occur. The Protoss suddenly awakened and tried to find a remedy."
"So just use us humans?"
"Of course, everything I said is just speculation, just some reasoning obtained from the disappearing world of gods." Ancestor Styx shook his head and said: "However, it is undeniable that the master has brought the alien world to You creatures came to the world for a reason, and it must be related to the demise of the God Realm! Maybe your power can save the weak God Clan, maybe the Lord wants to find a successor for the God Clan, or there are other reasons... This is It’s not something I can know anymore.”
From the words of Patriarch Styx.
Zhang Mu got some important information. The Lord was part of the God Realm, and the God Realm was split into two factions, the New Faction and the Old Faction. The two factions started a fierce battle.
One group believes that humans should be used.
Another group believes that humans should not be used.
The increasingly acute conflicts in the divine world have led to the outbreak of internal wars.
Of course.
Zhang Mu cannot believe all these statements.
Most of the opinions of Ancestor Styx are self-guesses. As for whether they are consistent with reality, it will take time to verify. Moreover, Zhang Mu cannot judge whether what Ancestor Styx said is true.
At least.
Zhang Mu knows some secrets of the divine world, and the matter should be getting closer to the end.
