[That is a story that happened very long ago, far older than any civilization]

[A story that takes place after a person was born in the primordial fire and lit up the light of the multiverse, and a group of mayflies floated around this light, living and dying]

Born in the void, the foam after the fire burned, in the scraps that gave birth to the world, in the quiet and boundless light, there is a simple structure, or in other words, a simple life appears in the world.

It has no name, and it remains the same until now. If you have to describe it, you can only call it a 'mayfly', because its lifespan is so short that it may not even last a simple day in some worlds.

This kind of life has no 'self' and no 'wisdom'. Its simple structure can only do one thing, which is to 'record' everything around it and then 'transmit' it to other individuals - I don't know. The ephemera, which does not know when it will be born or when it will die, thus forms a small cycle in the eternal light.

The death of each individual mayfly will eventually give birth to many larval mayflies, but before that, it will entrust all the information it records to another adult mayfly - collecting information is a process of their self-expansion. Immediately afterwards, the adult mayfly will do the same thing, handing over all the memory of the previous mayfly and its own memory to the next mayfly, and during this long transfer process, the new generation of mayfly will When it matures, a new reincarnation begins again, and the cycle of the ephemera becomes larger.

Naturally, the information carried is also larger.

The adult mayflies continuously pass on their respective memories, while the larvae that also live and die quickly grow up and become the carrier of a new generation of records and transcriptions - the information that is constantly passed on and interacted between these many different individuals, What started as a small instinct that could be completed in one information exchange gradually became larger and larger, and even required more ephemera to record it completely. It even required the entire ephemera group to gather together and transfer to each other without interruption. Transmission occupies their eternal mission of all 'time and lifespan' except for self-division before death.

Birth, memory, being transmitted, transmitted, death, splitting, birth, memory, being transmitted, transmitted, death, splitting... Eternal and endless reincarnation is their instinct and their mission.

The entire ephemera group has become an increasingly large memory stick, an extremely large information base.

And for them, they absolutely cannot stop or have any rest - for the life of a mayfly, they cannot hesitate, cannot think, cannot hesitate.

They must move eternally, transfer eternally, die eternally, then divide themselves, and then give birth to something new - they have no sleep, no rest, and no stagnation, because 'sleep' means 'death', 'pause' ' means 'lost'. Even if only one ephemera makes a mistake and gives up its instinctive mission of recording and transmitting information, it will result in a 'lack' of part of the information, which represents eternal 'forgetting'.

But at this time, the ephemera still don't understand what 'forgetting' means. They just maintain their own huge cycle, repeating reincarnation endlessly.

Then, a long time passed.

The mayflies, who lived and died, spent endless time in this increasingly larger and more vast cycle, until one day, other 'civilizations' discovered them.

They were a race born in the world derived from the Prime Fire. After a long period of evolution and development, these complex intelligent creatures bathed in light finally walked out of the void and began to wander the heavens... And when they came to the vicinity of the Prime Fire, they I discovered these simple and unintelligent swarms of mayflies swimming around the light.

They are not the oldest creatures—compared to the mayflies, there are more powerful or weak initial monsters. Mayflies were born in the Radiant Realm long after the multiverse environment was stable, and were far inferior to those ancient beasts born in chaos.

Their power is not powerful either—the essence of individual mayflies is a simple knot of energy information. The information and energy carried by this kind of thing are extremely small. The energy of hundreds of thousands of mayflies is not even enough to light a candle.

They don't even have intelligence - pure information interaction only represents the basic recorded memory of all mayflies since their birth, starting from the first mayfly. Most of them are meaningless redundant information, let alone igniting wisdom. A spark, not even a multi-celled organism.

They are not even huge, and can even be said to be completely microscopic - the size of a mayfly is not even comparable to that of bacteria. This is even the smallest 'life' that many civilizations can find in the void.

However, their clusters are incredibly large.

Their number is endless.

In fact, the light-seeking collective even turned into a hazy and dim mist that enveloped a small part of the endless light of the initial fire.

They are not ancient, not powerful, not smart, not huge, but they still exist, from the ancient beginning until now - until today, there are other life forms born later than them, which have evolved into intelligent creatures and developed civilizations. , and then, came to this place.

The information carried by curious intelligent species has become the 'second light' that mayflies can accept in addition to the initial fire. It is a variable, an inducement, and an 'infinite possibility' in addition to the eternal cycle of mayflies.

That is the beginning of the birth of 'wisdom', the beginning of the birth of 'self', that is, the beginning of the birth of 'possibility and future',

He, they, at that moment, really opened their eyes, and from the self-enclosed and self-circulating shell, they began to raise their heads and look at this vast multiverse.

[The ancient primitive civilization taught the ephemerals many things. They taught each other to think, judge, and respond to the actions of the outside world. They guided an isolated group to the big stage of the multiverse, and then taught them What do they mean by friendship, beauty, hope and love]

[Of course, they also taught them what exactly ‘forgetting’ is]

After a long time, the civilization of enlightened ephemera disappeared. Where did it go? That memory, even the power of steel in the multiverse, is too old and blurry. Even if you search the memories of countless evil gods, you can't find any trace. This is not surprising. After all, the evil god appeared after the future sage, and even the future sage may not remember the truth of this matter. How could the Titan of Steel possibly read through the memories of that era.

However, there may not be any other messy reasons. That civilization was probably just destroyed over a long period of time and then forgotten.

It was an extremely novel experience, a lack of information, the end of a cycle, the dissipation of the past, and the coming of real 'death'.

And that was the birth of 'Future'.

[No... never allow it]

[We... do not accept any forgetfulness]

The spark of wisdom was ignited.

The ephemera were able to understand clearly: the so-called antonym of memory... is forgetting.

And this is absolutely unacceptable to the mayflies who are always remembering everything and remembering everything forever.

[The memories of this ephemeral life will eventually be entrusted to other mayflies as proof of their existence. If the same kind forgets, then they will never exist at all, which is equivalent to the loss of the mayfly group. Part of it is missing, and the great and long record is no longer perfect]

[Forgetting is the passing of eternity—even more terrifying and terrifying than entering the event horizon of a black hole]

This is unacceptable.

Joshua's voice and will shook the multiverse. In that short moment, everyone heard, saw, and knew the eternal cycle of the little mayfly, and the 'awakening' of the final spark - and for At this point, the giant god was silent for a moment, and then in the midst of everyone's speculations, a deep voice confirmed all existing guesses.

[This is the beginning of 'Future Sage']

The essence of the future sage is like the evil god, who condenses all the memories of a race, a civilization, and a cluster into an eternal existence.

No, this sentence is wrong. It is not that He is like the evil god, but that the Evil God is like Him.

The 'dead eternities' who can only see eternity, long for eternity, long for light, like mayflies that can only see light, moths that can only see flames, they are calling, wailing, roaring, roaring , heading towards the countless rays of light in the distance, those beings who are still continuing 'memory' and 'forgetting', and still releasing infinite heat and 'possibility'.

And this is why the so-called "evil gods" go to attack, to destroy, to turn all new civilizations into new evil gods - they are neither good nor evil, nor good nor evil. Evil gods have no purpose. There is no desire, they do not 'want to destroy', but will cause 'destruction' if they get close, and the so-called attack, the so-called transformation, in a sense, is just to 'remember' everything.

And this is the truth behind the so-called 'Evil God Invasion' and 'End of Era'.

It's nothing more than... It's just a story about a group of mayflies who want to remember everything, put out the flames, and engrave it on themselves.

[Future wise men cannot bear to be forgotten. It is precisely because Eternity remembers all the past, everything since its own birth, and records the nearly endless information of this multiverse, which is almost equivalent to the living Akashic record of this multiverse, that He can 'remember' the Eternity. In the past, we 'based' on the huge present and 'opened up' the infinite future]

[He refused to die—so there was the birth of the evil god and the 'eternity of death'. He refuses that not everything can be remembered—so absolute chaos arises out of nothing and clings to everything. He refuses to forget that it cannot be undone—so infinite parallel universes, infinite parallel worlds, and even infinite futures exist.]

[The multiverse is splitting, just like the mayflies in the past will split after they die. The 'future sage' may not be able to understand at first why there are other civilized races and other sages who resist him - isn't it? Is everything remembered? Don’t all people have eternity and an infinite future? No more worries about being forgotten, no more worries about being destroyed, no more worries about death! Because the infinite parallel world carries all possibilities, and the infinite tributaries of future possibilities will turn into a definite reality under the power of the sage. Even if the heavens are destroyed and the stars fall, there will still be the possibility of their existence. .]

[Eternal death, eternal memory, infinite future, infinite possibilities.]

At this moment, Joshua raised his free upper left hand. There was a hazy chaotic light there, which was the power developed by [Future Sage], a special power related to [Initial Fire] , it is connected to everything, it records everything, transmits everything, and uses it as the source to breed infinite parallel universes.

Its name is [Chaos], [Chaos] before the future is opened.

The giant god clenched his fist, and the misty chaos suddenly shone brightly, and all living beings could see it - there were countless evil gods, countless forgotten civilizations, forgotten races, and forgotten names, all of which were recalled in the infinite parallel universe - they Never forgotten, never abandoned, [Future] remembers them, so they exist forever, are immortal, and will never dissipate until the end of the multiverse.

[The purpose of the future sages is to 'memorize' all the information of this multiverse, and after remembering this multiverse, they, they, should 'die', and then transmit all the 'memories' in this way Give the next 'multiverse' a new 'future' using countless 'evil gods' as seeds and all the past civilizations as prototypes]

[The infinitely divided multiverse is just like the infinitely divided mayflies. The transmission and inheritance of information are just like that at that time. What they have to do is nothing more than what the mayflies did in the past - only the carriers are not as good as microbes. The ephemera became the entire multiverse]

[Eternal memory, and then eternal transmission, maintain everything eternally. Even the catastrophe of the destruction of the multiverse cannot interrupt this process]

- In other words, this is essentially no different from the infinite division and inheritance of mayflies - this is also an 'inherited' civilization and the strongest 'order'!

- An ultimate 'order' that takes the multiverse as a unit and is so grand that all sentient beings in the multiverse are just parts and foundations, a structure of memory, and its self-will does not matter at all!

It has nothing to do with sentient beings, it is a story belonging to the 'pan-multiverse ephemera'.

"But isn't this good?"

I can hear such a voice coming from the other side of the distant multiverse. There is a civilization that voices doubts: "We have passed away, but we are still alive in the infinite future and infinite parallel worlds. We have been forgotten, but Xian But those who remember - everything we have worked hard to create no longer has to worry about being meaningless, and is even destined to be fruitful. We can accept failure, it is our own fault, but if it can be 'remembered'... even in the next multiverse Era, we can still be remembered.”

"Isn't this what is called 'happiness'?"

After the doubts were raised, more civilizations and more individuals felt confused - they always felt that the darkness that covered everything was so terrifying, and that the endless chaos was destined to represent the return of eternal disaster, but Now Joshua told them that the darkness that covered everything just wanted to remember everything, that the endless chaotic essence was a recording tool, and that there was still a place for them in the eternal future.

Countless hearts that are not firm enough, countless beliefs that are not stubborn enough, countless wills that are not crazy enough, and countless wisdom that are not stupid enough, at this time, they begin to be confused and confused about the necessity of 'resistance'.

After all, he is a sage. He is the oldest, most powerful, and the first one in history who has a history of defeating and killing other sages. He represents the infinite future, sage.

[but-]

[Isn’t this how you want to accept the future that you will walk out of yourself?]

[This kind of happiness is just the lowest kind of happiness - placing everything on the happiness of the same body in one's own infinite parallel world? This is something more illusory than a dream. Except for the sages, except for the group of ephemera that have been dying since the beginning of their birth, leaving their memories to another individual, who would understand and who would want this kind of happiness?]

[The true meaning of true happiness and true freedom is the right to categorically reject even happiness, the right to completely reject the 'future' that one does not want!]

[Ask for more, crave for more! What we want, what we deserve, is a gift that does not belong to anyone else, and is the best future that we can grasp!]

Joshua raised his hand and put Hei and the others down. The god looked around the multiverse, and infinite power surged within his body.

[Whether He is right or not—I don’t care about such trivial matters.]

[But I know that I am right.]

[The core of the future sage is memory, which is all remembered 'civilizations', which is also the infinite evil god. With it, He has mastered more than 99.8% of the possibilities of this multiverse. The total mass of the evil gods is five hundred times or even more than the existing multidimensional galaxies and ordered civilizations. Their existence will make the future The Sage has an advantage in the battle in this multiverse and can develop any kind of future he wants in infinite parallel universes]

[But as long as they hold them back and fight against five hundred times the total number of enemies, the future sage will lose his biggest trump card - annihilating the evil god, which means annihilating part of his body and our path to victory]

Joshua loudly declared this to the intelligent life in the entire multiverse—he wanted to break the advantage of the future sages hiding in the darkness of history, and let everyone know his nature, the source of his power, and his form of existence. , and weaknesses.

This is of course not the credit of Joshua alone—it is the credit of all the sages and forerunners of all ages.

[The original three sages, spiritual energy, magic power and life energy, because they were born after the 'future', the other party knew the entire process of their power creation, remembered their essence, and had no knowledge of the future sages. The vigilance and targeting, as well as the help and coordination of other sages, so no matter how hard you fight, you can only lose in the end and die]

[But elements and ether should be the two most amazing geniuses after the magic line. They were both supposed to open up new possibilities in the magic line and become the second and third demon sages, but they were both Qi Qi discovered that something was wrong, and then found another way to create elements and ether. On the scale of the multiverse, they almost advanced at the same time, and then joined forces to fight against the 'future']

[The time for the two to join forces to fight against the 'future' was so long that they supported the emergence of the 'Holy Light', 'Shadow' and 'I']

In the beginning, the extraordinary power created by the sages did not target the 'future' in any way. Even the elements and ether were just because they sensed something was wrong, but there was no way to fight against it. Every step they advanced The process, every detail, is in the eyes of 'Future'. Even if they have the same strength, there is no reason to win, not to mention that their strength is slightly inferior to that of Future.

But after that, both the Holy Light and the Shadow noticed this, and they began to target, restrain, and fight the 'future' in a planned way. Even the advancement was not known to the public, and they tried their best to prevent the other party from getting it. own information.

But even so, they are still at a disadvantage. After all, they do not know the existence and nature of the future, and can only leave various clues to those who come after them.

[And I am the latecomer—I am the destruction of chaos, the terminator of the future]

Joshua's voice was calm and firm.

He is the latecomer.

He advanced to the Sage of God in the Initial Fire. Not only could he not sense the future, but also the process of his advancement could not be determined. However, when Joshua was analyzing his memories of many evil gods and many ancient civilizations, he noticed The nature of future wise men.

He has been fighting against evil gods and chaos from the beginning, and he has been wary from the beginning. In addition to bringing the "level way" of "fighting is reward" to all living beings, and the path of the sage of God, his true Until now, no one understands the essential path, and no one knows its name.

And his power was born to crush this eternity and infinite future.

"But master—time."

At this moment, the black dragon covering the stars groaned uneasily: "After all, you have just advanced, can you really interfere in the battle of those sages who have been fighting for countless years?"

"Everything you said has no meaning in the face of absolute power."

[It's time]

But Joshua didn't care at all about this.

[The future sage and other sages have been fighting for an unknown amount of time in countless universes and infinite parallel worlds. But this doesn't mean anything - sages and sages fight. It's impossible for both sides to get stronger as they fight. That means trying their best to fight in all areas, all angles, and all possibilities. To say it is progress, there is not even room for thinking]

[When the Psychic Sage was born, his future progress was probably over 99%, but after so many years and so many sages were born, his progress is still stuck at 99.8%]

[And the fact that the future sage was able to speak to me before, but other sages could not, proves that even if the future sage is faced with the siege of the four sages, he still has room to gain the upper hand, but even so, as long as he If the progress cannot reach 100%, then the essential gap between him and other sages will not be widened]

[Because wise men are infinite power]

[It is precisely because of the sacrifices and sharing of all the sages before that I have enough time to tell you all this]

Previously, Joshua achieved his achievements with divine power—and the essence of God is desire, and the essence of divine power is the power to fulfill wishes.

God is a wish, God is a dream, and the change brought about by divine power is to give Joshua's dream to the world - from then on, fighting is no longer a means, it can also be used as a purpose, it can be given to all things More possibilities for sentient beings.

[Fighting is my wish and my dream]

[But pure fighting will only plunge this multiverse into endless hell]

Joshua opened his hand, and infinite illusions spread, covering all things. He showed everyone the future that the 'Dispute Sage' can bring - whether it is civilization, race or individual, each attached to a powerful one. "The source of disputes", they go to worlds and civilizations to fight and provoke disputes. With endless fighting, they set off endless battles and variables in the multiverse. The bones and blood of the losers will be drained by the winners, and the entire multiverse will be turned into a huge breeding ground, and the new sage will be the winner of this eternal battle.

[Every sage who goes forward will have a great impact on the sages who follow]

Joshua closed his fist, and he opened it again - this time it was a brand new illusion, belonging to the future of the 'Emotional Sage'. It was a multiverse where everyone gradually developed a complete set of emotion simulation methods for the sake of power. Their emotional power continued to merge and condense, and finally turned into beasts, monsters, and masters that represented the power of various emotions. The originally perfect emotions of a civilization, a race, and an individual will eventually become only one extreme due to long-term practice.

Different emotions may not all be enemies, but there must be opposite emotions that are inherently mortal enemies. In the increasingly chaotic sea of the multiverse, if you want to become a new generation of sages, you must overcome these difficulties and overcome all extremes.

[The future sage has created our future. He cannot directly attack you because you are also part of his memory. Only by proving the existence of the eternal node will he be regarded as an alien and attack, and then lose the power against the evil god. possible]

In the palm of Joshua's hand, there are countless 'possibilities of a sage' flying around, 'the sage who breaks the shackles', 'the sage of pure will', 'the sage who advances the world', and the second sage of steel. ', etc. Wait, wait, all the near-sages present have forgotten everything else, and all the legendary extreme experts also have a vague throbbing - they know that this is Qiao Xiu Ya wants to tell them about the 'possibility', the possibility of becoming a near-sage, a sage! Joshua didn't hide anything. He released all the results of his thinking for everyone to see.

For a time, huge distortions began to arise in most people. Their accumulation had already been enough, leaving only a little bit of confusion - and now, the mystery was solved. They naturally began to advance.

Then, stop drinking.

[This is not the path you want to take!]

[Try to learn, not imitate, think about this kind of thinking, instead of copying the answers - these are all possibilities that belong to 'me', and are you me?]

This immediately shook all the strong men who were addicted to it from their subconscious 'imitation' or even 'reproduction'. When they woke up from it, they immediately felt a chill, or a sigh of regret and unwillingness. .

The shortcut is the biggest temptation... But indeed, even if they also take the 'road of disputes' and 'the road of emotion', they are completely different individuals and existences from Joshua, both in terms of thoughts and logic. In this way, the other party's path may be smooth for the other party, but for you, it is the most poisonous poison.

Apart from anything else, everyone in the 'Road of Conflict' thinks that Joshua will be very happy, but they are not necessarily. It can even be said that few in this multiverse will look forward to that kind of future.

[The evil god is the starting point for future sages to control the future of this multiverse, and it is also the 'memory' that he must bring to the next multiverse]

[Eternal anchor point is a destined existence that cannot be remembered and taken away. It is a node that is destined to happen, even in infinite parallel worlds and countless parallel universes, it will definitely happen]

[What the future sage wants is a future completely controlled by him, everything derived from his memory, his thoughts and dreams are the eternal multiverse, the origin of infinity - and the eternal anchor is the stain that hinders him, Not the eternity of His memory]

"But Joshua..."

At this moment, No. 3 couldn't help but ask: "You have cut off your own path to the eternal node..."

[That's nothing to worry about]

[Maybe other people will think that this 'destiny' is very important, but I never care about 'destiny' or 'absolute', and the sages in the future will not stop me.]

[I cut off the eternal anchor point, and also cut off the relationship with the infinite parallel universe - it is impossible for me to appear again in his world. As long as I am killed in this original multiverse, he can be 100% destroyed. Killing me is not like other sages. Even if I am defeated, I am afraid it will take an extremely long time to suppress and destroy me]

[But similarly, He cannot use the infinite parallel universes and various 'futures' derived from himself to attack. He can only use his own power in this multiverse to fight against me.]

After leaving behind a message that made all the legendary extremes and near-saints think deeply, Joshua's body began to gradually become illusory, gradually spread, and then 'filled' the multiverse.

[As long as there are enough near-saints, we can resist the erosion of the multiverse by future sages and keep his progress stuck in the present forever]

[And in this way, His hidden backhand cannot be used—He cannot occupy everything upstream and affect everything downstream. As long as his progress is stagnant, 'Infinite Future' will not continue to 'derive']

[This is the existence of the unbecome sage, the way to fight against the 'future']

You have your battlefield, and I also have mine - say goodbye for now, my friends.

Indescribable, incomparably majestic, and unbelievably majestic fluctuations are setting off a frenzy, and the source of this fluctuation has set sail. He begins to look back, heading towards the source of everything, the beginning of everything, the first light!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The entire multiverse is shaking because of this step. The stars in the sky, all the races in all realms, even beings without souls, eyes, ears, or touch, can all be clearly sensed and seen clearly. Hearing and sensing, something 'infinite' was roaring and flowing against the current. He was heading towards the battlefield he desired, towards the 'final ending'!

And the invisible fluctuations, the infinite fluctuations that changed the multiverse for the second time in a short period of time, are flowing towards everything in existence, overflowing!

[… Defeating the future sage is indeed impossible]

[The oldest sage has defeated the psychic, magical, and steel powers. He is on par with the other four sages, and even has a slight advantage. Even if I are added, it will not change much]

At this moment, everyone felt that something had been completely changed. In the multiverse, all logic had been replaced, and something had eroded the original concept.

It is not a supernatural power in a substantial sense, nor is it a vision that affects the multiverse. It is something that moistens things silently and unknowingly, permeating all realms.

[However, the meaning of life and civilization is to defeat every impossible]

[And I want to defeat all 'impossibility']

The brilliance of the flame, infinite light, and infinite will were shining in the infinite distance. The infinite fluctuations spanned the endless distance. He passed a familiar strong man and several unfamiliar strong men. He felt that in the On this road, there are many beings who are migrating. They have been moving forward since an unknown age, but now, they are surpassed by him.

And what is this? Is it inevitable? Is it doomed? Or is this a coincidence, just a huge surprise

Both are and are not.

And whether it is these extremely powerful beings with surprised expressions on their faces, or an ignorant child of any race, no matter it is any life, all living things can know it.

The existence called [Miracle], like the sun, flies by decisively in the endless silence and darkness.

Asking for a monthly ticket.
