When Joshua regained consciousness, he found himself standing in the void.
This void is deep and dark, with no end and no top or bottom. It is the same chaos no matter left or right, front or rear, as incomprehensible as a human dream.
But precisely because it is chaos like a dream, it will be affected by people's thinking. As the warrior wakes up, the deep void begins to change. The vast earth appears under his feet, and monotonous clouds and sky also appear. , with the twin moons hanging in the black sky, a simple little world has taken shape.
"… I am dead?"
Is this the world after death
Joshua was a little surprised at first, but immediately recalled the scene of the previous confrontation with the Ten Plague Stars, and made a bad guess about his situation.
This is indeed reasonable. The pain of that time is still echoing in his soul. Joshua knows how much damage the divine power has done to his body. If it weren't for the fact that his heart is the core organ that carries the transfer of fighting energy, in terms of flexibility and endurance, The strength is even stronger than the bones, and it may have been burned to death by the endless power.
But even so, with the body losing most of its flesh and blood, massive bleeding, and falling from the sky after falling into a coma, even Joshua himself didn't think he could survive.
But no matter what, now is not the time to think about whether he is dead.
The warrior began to try to move in this monotonous world, but he was surprised to find that everything was exactly the same as the real world. He seemed to have a body, walking freely on this black land. Although there was no vegetation, You can also smell the fragrance of earth, and the harmonious night wind is blowing slowly, bringing a hint of summer.
Wait, when did the wind blow
Raising his head suddenly, Joshua looked around alertly.
During the period when he just woke up, the world was still nothingness, but then the earth and sky, clouds and the bright moon appeared. Now, the soil has a familiar smell, and the wind begins to blow in the originally silent world, and can even Let him feel the temperature—
Everything became more and more detailed, and simplicity began to transform into reality. The soldier frowned. Under his gaze, buds grew out of the black soil. Mountains and hills began to rise from the earth, accompanied by a diffuse atmosphere. With water vapor, a river like a silver ribbon appeared beside Joshua, and behind him, the fir forest made a soft rustling sound like the tide, as if they were whispering.
The twin moons in the dark night cast their brilliance, covering everything with a layer of white veil.
It was as if there was something reminiscing, shaping a world out of memories, and all the details were getting finer and finer, until even Joshua could hear the roar of the river, the cicadas chirping in the woods, and the soles of his feet no longer It was just black mud, but a layer of soft soil mixed with fallen leaves, shrub branches and sawdust.
Not only that, when the soldier looked up, a familiar fire appeared, which was the color of the village fireworks. He was standing on the green hills, looking at a riverside village on the edge of the mountain forest. The small village, next to the river, has a suspension bridge made of solid wood and a creaking and rotating waterwheel. The sound of the mill's operation makes people wonder whether this is a fantasy world or a real world.
Things started to get complicated.
Just when Joshua frowned and thought about what this scene meant, a white figure slowly walked out of the village.
This was a white-haired young man with impeccable temperament and appearance. He was wearing white clothes and had a faint smile on his face. The young man walked slowly through the path between the trees and came to a place not far from Qiao. The middle part of the hill not far from Xiuya.
Then, he sat down, hugged his knees with his hands, and looked up at the bright moon quietly.
The moment Joshua saw the other person's appearance, he was immediately shocked.
He had seen this young man before - in the remaining memory of the Azure Orb, it was the face he saw in the illusion of the power of order that automatically protected his body when he was assassinated by the five-color dragon clan with the curse of the evil god not long ago!
The red pupils were locked tightly on the other person, and Joshua took a deep breath. If there were no accidents, then that is to say, the boy in front of him who looked at the moon and seemed to be about to fall asleep was... when he was a child. The sage!
Just like before, the white-haired boy didn't seem to notice Joshua who was not far away from him. Instead, he quietly stared at the pale silver moons by himself. There was still a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were a little blurry. It seems that he is thinking, and he seems to be remembering.
And just when the soldier was thinking about what he should do next, the boy suddenly said something, and the clear boy's voice sounded, echoing on the hills.
"I really miss...the twin moons in my hometown."
Then, he turned his head and looked at Joshua with his white mirror-like pupils.
The world before the warrior's eyes was shattered.
Countless memory fragments flashed by like a fleeting glimpse. In a vague way, Joshua saw the growth of the other person. The young boy who once smiled and stared at the moon slowly became mature, and the smile hanging on the corner of his mouth gradually disappeared. The serious young man Studying the knowledge of the sages and thinking about the meaning behind all phenomena, in order to explore the truth and power among all things, he chose to travel the entire world. To this end, the young man's footsteps spread across the entire continent.
Jungles, hills, plains, foreign cities, even ocean currents under the deep sea, extremely cold glaciers and steep and deep valleys between mountains, all come from the alien world on the other side of the rift in time and space. By the time the young man returns, he has mastered the different worlds. In the power of steel and fire, fighting spirit and magic.
The light called order and holiness shines in his palms.
Everything after that became fragmented, as if it were smashed ice. The broken residue could never be restored to its original state. The warrior could only see the end of everything -
In the dark and deep void, countless time and space gates are slowly opening, huge shadows are squirming, the power from the ancient abyss is coming from outside the world, and countless weird chaotic monsters are pouring out endlessly, intending to destroy the world in front of them. engulf.
And in front of them, a figure wearing a robe of light, whose appearance was covered by glory, alone raised up his unparalleled authority.
…
…
The world returned to chaos, and in the void, there was no distinction between up, down, left and right.
Breaking away from the shock of witnessing the opening of the abyss door and the beginning of the war between the sage and the evil god, Joshua slowly looked around. Because he sensed a familiar and majestic aura, he sighed, and then said in a deep voice: "Please come out. Well, a great existence that I don’t know what to call.”
"What is your purpose in letting me look at these memories?"
The sound quickly disappeared in the void, as if a stone was thrown into the water, but there was no ripple at all.
But another voice appeared quickly.
"What I originally wanted to see and what I wanted you to see was not these."
Joshua immediately responded to Joshua's inquiry, and a voice came from the chaos. The voice was like thunder, with a rumbling echo, but it was surprisingly not objectionable: "What I want to see is your past memory. It’s not the past of this powerful man who has mastered the power of existence.”
Following the echo, the entire void began to twist violently, and bits and pieces of silvery luster emerged from the chaos. In Joshua's unsurprising eyes, a silver python that was so huge that it was unimaginable, even comparable to the entire world, appeared. Slowly appeared in front of the warrior's eyes, it turned its huge head, and the light between its eyes was like the sun, shining with a strong silver glow.
"You have the smell of my kind on you. I guess you have seen other world wills."
The words of this giant python were simple and direct. It did not even leave Joshua time to reply, but said simply and neatly: "So, you can call me the Steel Python Ilgna. In your language, That's my name."
Why do you want to see my past
Before he could speak, the question just flowed through Joshua's mind, and the huge python of the world gave the answer at the same time: "Because of curiosity."
Its voice shook the void, with a hint of curiosity and appreciation: "You are just a human being, not even a life conceived by me, but you are willing to fight against the chaos in the void in order to carry all this. "
"It's natural to be curious, even I am curious, what is the past of a warrior like you, what kind of experiences shaped your will and beliefs, and what kind of world can give birth to a being like you. .”
The Steel Python Ilgona is completely different from the world will of Kallis that Joshua has encountered before. If Kallis is a wise elder with a towering mountain, then Ilgona is a group of The howling wind blew straight across the earth, and the words would not stop or turn at all.
Joshua originally wanted to ask some questions, but Ilgnar shook its huge head and said with some regret: "Soldier, we don't have much time to talk. Your body has left this world, so I can’t keep your soul by force.”
"My body is still alive?"
Joshua raised his brows and had been unable to speak. He finally said it this time. While the news made him happy, he was also a little confused: "But my injury has become like that. No matter how you think about it, it should be... Can’t survive.”
According to Joshua's own calculations, the moment the divine power is withdrawn from his body, his body will completely collapse due to overload. Coupled with the heavy bleeding from the wound and a large number of internal injuries, he should die directly. .
"Father Nature, the god of your mouth heals your body."
Faced with Joshua's question, even the stormy Ilgna World Will would patiently explain. However, when it came to the Father of Nature, there was a hint of incomprehensibleness in the voice of this giant steel python. It seems to be a taste of pleasure: "To me, the existence of this giant tree is no different from the evil god. It transformed my body and wiped out most of the life I originally gave birth to. The remaining ones also changed themselves in order to survive. The original appearance... But in order to save you, He fell into deep sleep again, and also lost the ability to continue to transform the world."
Its relationship with the father of nature is definitely not harmonious. If it hadn't been for thousands of years, the father of nature has been sleeping, and the newly born elves have gradually become the original residents of its world. Perhaps they There will also be a battle between gods.
But anyway, everything has passed. The Steel Python lowered its head and stared at Joshua. Its thunderous voice was serious for the first time and became lower: "No matter what, you saved me... saved this For all sentient beings in the world, this may not be the best ending for me, but it’s not bad either.”
"Take it. This is the proof of your salvation and my authority. You deserve this honor."
A bit of silver light suddenly appeared on Joshua's chest. The warrior stretched out his hand to catch the star-like light, but before he could lower his head and take a closer look, the voice of the Steel Python appeared again.
"Go back to your hometown."
