As time went by, the situation became more and more unfavorable for Elan Continent.
Casualties caused by defeat in the war are only part of the factors. More importantly, as the war continues, the minions of the evil gods have not been expelled for a long time. The evil gods continue to suck the world, and the disaster of the evil gods spreads wider and wider. up.
As a result, the whole world is like a dried orange whose juice has been gradually drained, and begins to decline little by little.
Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, heavy rains, strong hurricanes... All kinds of natural disasters began to erupt across the continent. And with the continuation of the evil god's disaster, these natural disasters are getting more and more serious.
Continuing on, it is conceivable that one day they will usher in an unbearable end-time disaster.
If the aborigines can't expel the minions of the evil god in time before the outbreak of the apocalyptic natural disaster that affects the entire continent as they did in the previous cycles, let the evil god fall into a deep sleep again, and end the disaster of the evil god in time.
So, even if the Allied Forces of the Elan Continent can fight tenaciously despite repeated defeats, this world will not last that long, and sooner or later it will be destroyed by natural disasters.
In other words, for the natives of the Elan continent, ending the disaster of the evil god is a time-limited task. They simply don't have that much time to continue the stalemate with the reincarnation, even if the current situation has made them try their best.
But for them now, not to mention ending all this within a limited time, it's just that judging from the current situation of the war, they even have very little hope of winning.
Everyone in the Elan continent gradually realized a fact.
This time, the minions of the evil god were unexpectedly powerful, but their strength was far from enough. The holy temple and the king's palace have accumulated two hundred years of foundation, and they are not enough to be afraid of the strength displayed by the minions of the evil gods; ?The confrontation... It was almost a matter of time before they lost.
The news of the raging natural disasters is constantly spreading to the front line from all sides in the mainland. Those who have reached a certain level of strength and have a sense of the rules can even feel that the whole world is constantly declining, and even the magic energy in the air The concentration of the elements is decreasing, so that it affects their spellcasting; but in the war that gathers the power of the whole world, there is no hope of winning, and after every fight with all their strength, they rub shoulders with death But what they saw in the end was more and more fallen corpses of their companions... The combination of all these factors made the Allied Forces of the Elan Continent fall into unavoidable despair.
An air of silence and panic prevailed.
They are like a group of people who have "one foot on the cliff". After realizing the reality, the power that represented courage and hope at first seems to have dissipated. The numbness and bewilderment, the only remaining belief to support them to continue fighting is perhaps to defend their homeland, their relatives and friends, and their own beliefs, right
—At least, in the current coalition forces, compared to other people, the members of religious organizations such as the Temple and the Truth Seminar are actually the strongest in combat effectiveness, and they seem to be the most tenacious and tenacious.
——Before the gods in their hearts fell and their beliefs collapsed, they seemed indestructible.
But believers are still human after all, they just rely on the belief in their hearts, stick to their beliefs and maintain their courage in a way that is almost self-deceiving. In fact, in a gloomy environment, they are sometimes shaken by the fear of human beings themselves. Except for true fanatics.
And it is said that His Royal Highness, the Son of God who is the spokesperson of the gods in the world, is favored by the gods? There is no doubt that part of the beliefs of the people are entrusted.
When everyone is shaken, they often only need to see the tough and unyielding back of His Royal Highness, and they will regain the courage to fight in their hearts.
However, what happens when His Royal Highness, who is regarded as the pillar of faith, begins to waver
In other words, when His Royal Highness the Holy Son no longer showed the will to fight repeatedly, would rather die than surrender, and always believed that he would regain victory, but became silent day by day, and seemed to have lost confidence, and followed him all the time And how should we maintain the hope in our hearts? How are they? Possibly unshakable
"...His Royal Highness, what happened to you recently?"
On this day, Mu Jia realized that everyone's emotions were falling in an unfavorable direction, and Mu Jia, who had been silent during the trial, finally couldn't help it anymore, and found the culprit who caused all this alone—only? The state of one person affects everyone. His Royal Highness, the depressed Son, questioned his soul.
The situation is unfavorable, and the Holy Son is depressed. This is understandable, but as a leader who shoulders everything, he should learn to digest negative emotions as soon as possible, instead of continuing and even affecting other people's will to fight.
Mu Jia barely endured it for a few days, and really couldn't bear to see him so depressed.
As the savior chosen by this world, the person favored by the gods, and the place where everyone's hope is placed, he should not and must not be the first to lose hope!
This is definitely not what a qualified leader should do!
Facing the Sword of Judgment, Mu Jia's serious eyes revealed a touch of reproach. The young man who looked a little dazed seemed like a wandering soul who had just woken up from sleepwalking, and suddenly came back to his senses:
"Ah, sorry..."
He smiled apologetically, his face still pale: "I just..." He opened his mouth, looked at Mu Jia suddenly, and asked, "If there is a way to Safeguard? Most people, but for some people, this decision is cruel... If it was you, what would you do? Choose?"
"Of course it's done in this way." Mu Jia's tone was slight? There was no hesitation.
He shook his head slightly, and there was still a bit of persuasiveness in his tone, as if he wanted to take the opportunity to teach this immature His Royal Highness, "If? Not necessary. Sometimes being a leader is about being decisive. Even if it comes at the expense of some people, some resentment. But that's what leadership is all about."
The boy seemed to be taken aback.
Then, he smiled slightly: "I know?"
"You're right. Actually, I've already made a decision. I just..." He didn't say anything more, and suddenly bowed solemnly, thanking the elder in front of him, "Anyway, Thank you for helping me make up my mind."
When he raised his head again, the confusion on the young man's face was swept away, as if the shadows that had shrouded his head for many days had disappeared at this moment, and a sense of seeing the way forward reappeared on his face. With the unwavering look of hope.
This made Mu Jia, who was watching his back go away, especially relieved. There is quite a joy of bringing the confused Son back to the right path.
Mu Jia didn't know? After this conversation, His Highness the Holy Son who was encouraged by him turned around and found the Lord of the Palace, Gattuso, and had a private and secret conversation, and no third person knew about their conversation. .
…
A few days later, the war between the reincarnated people and the Allied Forces of the Elan Continent was on the verge of breaking out again. Everyone was ready to fight. After all, this has been the norm since this period of time. Just beat to death
But this time, things were decidedly a little bit? No.
After the reincarnated people who had already gained the overwhelming upper hand took the lead in the battle, they didn't press hard. Instead, they just put up a formation, as if being put on the bowstring of a long arrow, and seemed to be at any time It is possible to shoot arrows, but why? There is no action for a long time.
This is the most dangerous moment.
Of course, the Yilan Continental Allied Forces, which were already at a disadvantage, would not take the initiative to attack because of this, but cautiously took a defensive position, and everyone was extremely vigilant.
"What is this playing? A trick?"
Mu Jia, who is better at clearing out evil god's minions and heretics in a small team, rather than directing large-scale operations, was a little confused. It was a wonderful feeling, but he couldn't find out where the danger came from anyway, so he couldn't help but tightly frowned.
He suspected that this group of minions of evil gods was planning something again? Insidious and vicious plots, while he was on guard, he wanted to remind His Royal Highness the Son to be careful.
A figure suddenly walked out of the flying objects of the reincarnation camp. He stood in mid-air, looking over here.
He is dressed in the standard black robe of a heretic, but has a completely different atmosphere from the truth seminar. He is the number one target of hatred in the heart of the temple, Du Lan, Pope of the True God Sect.
Under Mu Jia's vigilant gaze, Du Lan said with a smile on his face: "His Royal Highness, today is the right time and place, and the agreement between you and me should be fulfilled."
As he said this, his right hand stretched out from the wide black robe, with the palm facing upwards, and made an invitation gesture: "These few days specially reserved for you? The time must be enough for His Royal Highness to handle it with peace of mind." ?All bonds in this world. Now…”
"—Come on, you were supposed to stand with us."
"???" Everyone's eyes widened in surprise, even the reincarnated ones. After all, don't they know? What agreement did this guy secretly make with the Son of the World
Moreover, the meaning of this sentence is clearly...
No way, no way, it can't really be what they think, right
The eyes of some reincarnated people looking at Du Lan changed, full of shock and admiration, and a little bit of jealousy and resentment when they found out that someone secretly ate alone behind everyone's back.
In contrast, the situation on the side of the Allied Forces of the Elan Continent is not right, and the crowd has already become noisy.
"What is this guy talking nonsense about? Huh?" "Fart! What about His Royal Highness Son? What kind of agreement can be reached with this kind of person?" "It must be a deliberate alienation..."
The crowd was noisy, although most of them were insulting Du Lan, there was still an uncontrollable panic spreading, as if these noisy voices were actually covering up their inner panic.
Mu Jia, who always felt that something was wrong, even vaguely guessed something, and his face suddenly became ugly, as if the bad premonition before had finally come true.
"His Royal Highness Son!"
He hurriedly turned his head to look for someone.
But at the next moment, there seemed to be an inexplicable force coming from the side, like an invisible air current blowing over his body, making him unable to move for a while. The blood in the body seems to be cooling down slowly under a chill.
—That is, the bloodline spell!
There is one and only one person who can cast the bloodline spell that can make him fall without warning...
"Gattuso—" Muga stood stiffly on the spot, staring at the people who appeared beside him with wide eyes.
Gattuso, the master of the palace, grinned in his frightened and angry eyes, but the smile was a little helpless.
"Sorry, watch you for him, this is what I promised His Royal Highness Son?"
He sighed softly.
"Old man, just be a quiet bystander for the time being."
Mu Jia has already fully understood, he looked at each other in disbelief: "You guys are going to betray..."
His voice was quickly interrupted, and Gattuso shook his head slightly: "No, it's not betrayal, at least, I'm not fighting for the gods."
He cast his gaze forward.
The pupils reflected the back of the boy who did not know when he appeared.
That figure stood in front of everyone, bearing the surprised, astonished, and questioning eyes of countless people, straight and silent.
Gattuso's vision blurred for a moment.
For some reason, he actually recalled the secret conversation between the two when he was suddenly approached by a young man not long ago.
"...His Royal Highness, are you sure you want to do this?"
"Yes. This is the best way I can think of, in the case of saving most people."
"Then... Muga's side..."
"He doesn't know? At the critical moment, I hope you can contain him and avoid unnecessary risks. Whether it's for the smooth progress of everything, or for the safety of Your Excellency Muga?"
Facing Gattuso's surprised gaze, the boy said this.
"... You should understand that even if you can save the lives of all the people in the Elan Continent, accepting the rule of the evil god is undoubtedly a betrayal of our lord. The temple will never agree. The reason why I choose to tell you is because It’s because I know very well that Your Excellency Muga will never betray the belief of the temple. You are different, you can choose to blaspheme in order to save everyone.”
When he said this, the boy showed a calm smile.
"And I, an ungodly god-favored person, are exactly the same as your choice."
·
"… I am coming."
In mid-air, the young man quietly greeted Du Lan who was smiling, and said softly
Du Lan looked at him with extremely bright eyes, as if he was looking at a human-shaped gold mine—as the savior of this world who has exhausted the last source of his cultivation, he is simply the source of walking. Once he turns against him, the world will completely lose its last resistance strength.
Du Lan said with a smile on her face: "His Royal Highness..."
But his voice was suddenly drowned in more voices—
"His Royal Highness Son!"
He spoke almost at the same time as him, but shouts from more people reached the boy's ears.
The boy turned his head and saw countless anxious and shocked faces.
Although they still don't know what happened, they want to use their own way to prevent what is about to happen next, so that everything has a chance to be redeemed. Or, let His Royal Highness not take an irreversible step.
The expression on the boy's face was a bit complicated.
Before he could speak, Du Lan smiled and said, "It's really touching." His tone was filled with embarrassment, "His Royal Highness, look, there are so many people who still trust you until now. , do you have the heart to let them be hoodwinked in lies, do everything for an ending that is doomed to be impossible to rewrite, and then die?"
Saying this, he spread his hands: "And how many people trust you like this in the entire Ilan Continent? Every time we delay, there may be an unknown number of people who die in natural disasters... Your Royal Highness, you have the heart ?"
"What are you talking about? Nonsense!" "His Royal Highness, don't be fooled by the minions of the evil god..."
Facing countless hateful gazes, Du Lan opened her arms, looking very happy and enjoying it.
He is like a director who is weaving the script behind the scenes. He stepped onto the stage for the first time and took a curtain call under the gaze of countless audiences. There was unspeakable excitement in his eyes, but a touch of pity in his tone:
"It's really a group of poor people who have been deceived. They don't know the truth until now... For a long time, this world is just a thing in the palm of our Lord. It's just to avoid too fierce resistance and... Only when the fish dies and the net is broken, can I patiently accompany you to act in a play, and slowly harvest in the reincarnation."
He once again let his signature tool man, Luis Ann, appear, and Luis Ann, who knows his role well, also cooperated very well, and revealed the truth that was once revealed to the children of the world to everyone, without leaving half a point feelings.
Without going into too much detail, he is the living proof.
Saint King Luis Ann, the god-killing hero in the epic, now stands in front of everyone as a running dog of the evil god, and what he brings to the entire Elan continent is the impact of the collapse of faith.
At this moment, all the reverence once turned into resentment, and all praises turned into vicious curses.
These curses were not only directed towards the Holy King, but also swept towards His Royal Highness the Holy Son who was obviously planning to follow the example of the Holy King.
The young man who was indifferent to this had already silently made all preparations. He cut open his heart, and slowly pressed the elf-clear demon seed into his heart.
His voice sounded word by word.
"The ruler of shadows beyond the void, the infinite snake that devours the world... I, as the last favored person of this world, offer sacrifices to you..."
In an instant, countless faint blue lights burst out from the young man's heart, as if thousands of faint blue threads pierced through his body, and continued to spread to the surrounding space, and rules followed.
As the son of the world who bears the last source of this world, his betrayal is undoubtedly a fatal blow.
As the seed of the devil carrying the Dao of the Snake that Devours the World, when it establishes a connection with the Son of the World, the Dao of the Serpent that Devours the World naturally touches the deepest source of world consciousness that is closely connected with the Son of the World , began to erode the last law of this world.
—It’s almost like the prodigal son directly told the enemy where the old father’s escape boat was hidden, completely cutting off the old father’s hope of making a comeback.
Swish—
Endless light blooms from the young man's body, which belongs to the avenue of the snake that devours the world? The breath continues to spread, and the laws of the whole world are in turmoil.
The world consciousness, which was still struggling for the last time, suddenly fell silent, completely unable to resist.
The next moment, it was dark.
Indescribable, indescribable, and huge shadows enveloped the entire world in an instant. The silk threads woven by laws seemed to be entangled by countless shadows. In the pull of countless shadow tentacles, this world became Like? It seems to have become a glass bead caught in a net bag.
Everything around seemed to freeze, and everyone seemed to have turned into bugs frozen in amber.
The Supreme Being has descended.
Just sensing that breath, everyone felt that their thinking seemed to be stagnant, and they fell into a deep and boundless nightmare. This is far more terrifying than the evil god recorded in the so-called Black Rain Disaster.
— "The snake that devours the world!"
A title flashed across his consciousness like lightning. Then I remembered Du Lan's words.
"It turns out... everything is fake..."
"Kill God?... It's ridiculous..."
Shock, fear, frustration, despair... Amidst the impact of all kinds of emotions, everyone's eyes turned to that pale and thin figure unconsciously.
When the whole world seems to be frozen, in the silence of all things, only the boy's prayer continues.
That was the prayer, or sacrifice, that he had started since he put the devil's seed in his heart... and it wasn't until this moment that the last words fell.
"... I pray that you will uphold justice and benevolence, and protect your people from now on!"
The world consciousness that has completely fallen into silence is no longer struggling, and the entire world has almost been completely infiltrated by shadows.
Amidst the excited smiles of the reincarnators, the familiar mechanical sound came as promised.
[The final battle has been completed—]
This voice sounded so sweet to Du Lan, the ecstasy in his heart could no longer be suppressed, and laughter overflowed from his throat.
"Ha ha ha ha… "
The arc of his mouth is getting bigger and bigger.
Until suddenly froze.
[嗞嗞嗞—]
The smooth mechanical sound beside his ears suddenly stopped, and in his suddenly widened eyesight, he saw an indescribable light penetrating the entire world in an instant.
It seemed to be woven from infinite truths and theories, just to take a look at it, as if there was a huge amount of information that would completely burst his sea of consciousness.
Infinite shadows melted into this ? glow.
At this moment, the seemingly silent world consciousness suddenly rioted, and the infinite law boiled in the shadows.
It was like a hostage whose hands and feet were tied up by a gangster's rope and pretended to be unconscious. The rescuer suddenly cut the rope and jumped up instantly.
And then a knee bump on the jaw of the off-guard gangster? Fits just right with the bricks the rescuer throws at the gangster?—Boom! ! !
Countless shadows spread out!
As if the net bag was twisted loose, the glass beads inside the bag slipped out all of a sudden, and all the reincarnated people were almost dumbfounded when they heard the mechanical sound again.
For the first time, they heard the meaning of exasperation—
[warn! warn! Due to the intervention of external forces, the mission failed, and the emergency evacuation mechanism is starting...]
-mission failed? ?
-How can it be! ! !
Du Lan's eyes widened, almost going crazy in her heart.
After so many years of hard work, it seems that he is about to achieve great success, especially when he is only half a step away from success and yet? Inexplicably? Unfathomable failure, when he was most proud, he was suddenly hit? Yes! ! !
-who is it
—Who is it? !
But Du Lan already? I don't have much time to think about this issue.
In the next moment, a shadow from the sky covered his sight, covering every reincarnator, including of course the child of the world who activated the demon seed.
At the end of being teleported away, he saw a figure descending from the brilliance evolved from the infinite law, like the only shadow under the brilliance. As bright as that glow is, so dark are its shadows.
At this moment, Du Lanfu was in his heart.
"It's him… "
He saw that familiar figure running towards the child of the world who was wrapped in the shadow of the snake that devoured the world, as if he wanted to reach out and grab the person whose figure had become illusory.
Du Lan's eyes widened.
"Truth Discussion..."
