In the multiverse, there are countless world structures, and the light of the Prime Fire also has thousands of forms.
In this unknown world, the beginning of everything is the crimson sky.
A huge red star hangs in the universe, and the faint light of the late star shines on its only three remaining planets. Countless thousands of years have passed since the last expansion, and only the most distant galaxy that originally had seven planets is left. Three planets survived.
The planet closest to this red giant star has been tidally locked. Half of this rocky planet is experiencing eternal scorching heat, and the crust has melted, while the other half is subject to cold and dark ice, and the remaining gas has melted. As a liquid, it surges in the cracks of rocks.
The second planet is rotating at a strange tilted angle. The excessively violent solar wind destroyed its atmosphere in an instant countless years ago, disrupting the planet's magnetic field. The violent impact disrupted the axis of the star's rotation.
The furthest away from the red giant is a dark blue giant gaseous planet. Perhaps because it is too far away, it has not changed due to the expansion of its mother countless years ago, but has continued along the same path as before. Following its own trajectory, it rotates quietly in the darkness.
And everything starts from here.
The surface of the gas giant is filled with extremely violent and violent airflows. The rapidly flowing winds bring up cyclones one after another on its surface. They continue to merge and expand with each other, and can eventually grow into hundreds or even thousands of kilometers in diameter. In a super storm, this spectacular scene can be clearly seen even from outside.
Joshua's consciousness woke up at this moment. He stood in the vacuum and did not react for a moment. But the next moment, the scene changed and he had entered the gas giant.
A deep blue ocean of gas.
In this majestic sea of atmospheric clouds, endless and incredible weird air currents are always surging. The red giant star that occupies at least two-thirds of the sky shines on it all with its not warm light. The spirit of a warrior Following a mysterious guidance, he moved towards its interior. By the time Joshua understood where he was and was shocked by it, he had already entered the slightly gentle depths of the gas giant.
Deep in the thin gas ocean, there are countless crystals, ice or metal fragments material particles surging with the air flow. The energy from the inside of the star core pushes them toward the outside, and then gradually falls back. This process It lasted for tens of millions of years since its birth, and the astral magic power, which was so huge that it shocked all existences, washed away these fine dusts over and over again.
Joshua watched this scene. Although for some reason, he who was attacking the evil god fragments suddenly appeared here, the warrior did not care. Instead, he observed the inside of the gas giant with interest.
Thinking of the amazing structure inside the evil god fragment, he couldn't help but have a premonition.
Soon, his premonition came true.
Time accelerated, washed away by the huge astral magic power, and under the influence of magic power calculated for tens of millions of years, with these insignificant material particles that were completely assimilated by magic power as the core, a strange life was born.
Initially, they were a bunch of energy aggregations without any intelligence at all. They wandered in the relatively gentle air sea along with the hurricanes of hundreds of kilometers per second, absorbing the magic power from the depths of the planet to strengthen themselves, but because of The unstable outer structure of gas giants. This kind of life may be destroyed and killed by excessive changes in air flow at any time. It seems that they are aware that the environment in which they were born is too dangerous, so they instinctively move deeper into the star where the pressure is greater. .
These life forms with elemental life forms similar to air elements eventually settled in relatively stable deep gaseous structures. They fed on the magic radiation released by the planet, and interacted with each other with a special kind of magic power, that is, electromagnetic radiation. comminicate. Tens of thousands of years have passed, and their wisdom has not grown much, and naturally no civilization has been born. However, this kind of elemental life that swims in the sea of atmosphere has its own unique social form, and gas life that is too large will unite together. , create an 'artificial' stable gaseous structure in the turbulence, and split part of itself inside to give birth to new daughter bodies, until they grow to the point where they can move independently in the air sea, and then all are released, just like fungi spreading spores Generally spread the continuation of one's own life.
This strange life form born in a gas giant really opened Joshua's eyes, but he knew that this was not the end, or even just the beginning.
Deep within the giant star, the space suitable for gaseous life to survive is limited. The stable area is less than everyone imagined and is blocked by countless turbulent cyclones. In order to find a new home, some gaseous lifeforms resolutely move toward the unstable surface of the star. They flew away, but the overly intense air currents ruthlessly tore apart the bodies of all the adventurers. Even the largest gas life could not withstand the impact of the storm with a speed exceeding hundreds of kilometers per hour.
Joshua watched this scene, and time flowed billions of times faster in this illusion, until thousands of years later, a gaseous life that tried to compress his body appeared.
Compressing the gas that makes up his body, condensing the energy in his body into rapidly surging winds, turning his huge body with a radius of more than several kilometers into a dark blue gaseous sphere only a few meters in size, this gas life finally After a turbulent adventure, he broke through the barrier of the rapid storm and came to the surface of the star.
It saw a red giant star that covered most of the sky and was still expanding.
Elemental life has no ability to distinguish colors, but it can sense how terrifying the power is in the ball hanging above its head. The energy radiation of the star is huge enough to cover the entire gas giant, carrying a huge flow of magic power. , washed over the surface of the planet, and the conflict between the magnetic fields even produced various brilliant lights.
The beginning of wisdom is the crimson sky.
Perhaps it was due to the conflict between two different energy radiations that the gas life that compressed itself mutated, or perhaps it was the accumulation of instincts accumulated over tens of millions of years. In short, wisdom was born for the first time among this peculiar race. The gas life that returned to its homeland taught the method of compressing its body to all the beings it could communicate with. Then, countless dark blue gaseous spheres emerged from the sea of atmosphere, gaining wisdom under the light of stars.
Gradually, the new generation of gas beings will be able to possess wisdom without going to the surface of the stars. However, this process has gradually become fixed and has become their coming-of-age ritual. Only the gas beings that compress themselves, go to the surface of the atmosphere alone and return smoothly can do so. to be recognized as a member of the race.
They call themselves 'Gas', which is the word representing 'wisdom' in the language of the initial birth of gas life.
The civilization of Gasth progresses slowly. They have no tools or any physical materials. But even so, the civilization of Gasth progresses slowly every hundred years. They use magic and gas to build a 'wall' that can withstand violent cyclones. , bit by bit, they are opening up the territory of their own civilization inside the star. Those inferior Gass that have not been born with wisdom are used as building materials by their higher counterparts who can compress themselves, and are constantly filled into this huge gas Great Wall, becoming the basis of the nascent civilization. part.
"The way this energy is used is very strange."
Joshua witnessed all this among the scattered fragments of the illusion. A ball of energy appeared in his hand, and he learned Gas's method of compressing himself to condense energy. Soon, imitating the movement of gas life, this ball The light ball has an extremely solid structure. It is obviously just an energy body without substance, but it can be condensed into various shapes as if it were substance.
The warrior seemed to have gained something. He felt that as long as he continued to study the life form of this strange life, he would definitely gain something. He could even find some clues about the advancement of the power of steel. In just such a short time, he He has optimized the structure of his Dou Qi barrier and the flow of energy in his body, increasing the defense of his body surface and body by more than half.
Even gas life without much intelligence still has something for warriors to learn humbly. Every life is a unique miracle and definitely has merit.
But the scene that followed made his pupils shrink suddenly.
In the chaotic void outside the world, something huge was swimming by. This huge existence did not show any form in the material world, but in the energy horizon, it seemed to be a shadow that could block the light of the star. It passed by This red giant with three planets then disappeared into the deeper void.
But, it was just for a moment.
The end has come.
The red giant star, which originally had a lifespan of tens of thousands of years, suddenly began to burn rapidly and obviously abnormally. The surface of its bright but not hot star suddenly began to boil, as if it had returned to its heyday, and the red light suddenly burst into flames. It turns into a bright golden color, endless gas fuses and burns inside it, and then—
Then it burned up.
The balance of energy and mass was broken, and the core of the aging star shrank rapidly at an incredible speed. After the inexplicable "peak", the star ushered in its end. The radius of its outer shell sometimes expanded and sometimes shrank, accompanied by ejections. From the flow of hot gas, a white, slowly rotating miniature star can be vaguely seen appearing in the center of the original giant star.
The first fire is extinguished, so everything ends here - a hazy, but never gentle light.
The seemingly huge gas giant was swallowed up by the expanding shell of its own sun without any stagnation due to the terrifying changes caused by the sudden change of the star. Gas's fragile civilization was completely destroyed almost instantly under the power of the star. The reason why I say almost is because some of the most powerful Gas did not die under such changes. Their gas shells, which were compressed to the extreme, have become a barrier strong enough to withstand everything. They survived this. A drastic change.
The surviving Gass are attached to the iron core of the gas giant. This is the only remnant of the world they once lived in. However, the iron core gradually cools in the dark universe, and the sun, which has turned into a white dwarf star, does not. Then releasing light and heat, these gas lives that feed on energy sense the remaining magic radiation of their companions in the lonely and cold darkness, and then gradually die.
The fantasy is over.
And a new evil god was born.
In the dark void, the warrior looked at this scene. The illusion from the evil god's fragments became colder and colder in the later stages. He seemed to have personally experienced the despair of waiting for the death of his own life in a lonely vacuum. Joshua frowned. He already understood the origin of this illusion, but he didn't understand why it happened.
But a slightly tired man's voice appeared out of thin air, interrupting the warrior's thoughts.
"Evil God No. 13, temporarily named [Atmosphere], may have taken shape due to the influence of Evil God No. 1, [Fruit]."
A heavy, hoarse voice echoed in the dark void. He seemed exhausted, so his words were very concise: "[Atmosphere] The evil god did not come in person. It was only a part of his body that invaded the northern continent. The battle situation in the void Urgently, I need to go to the frontline as soon as possible after sealing some of its remains underground. Please inform the Chaos Research Institute as soon as possible if any intelligent life hears this message. We cannot rule out the possibility of the Atmospheric Evil God coming again. As long as its weaknesses are studied as soon as possible, we must Can be used next time.”
"The third saint under the throne of the saints was established on October 17, the 5319th year of the Holy Calendar."
Then, there was a blade of light that was extremely bright, as if it could cut apart the starry world, and even the structure of time and space.
This sword light split the dark illusion, and also split the atmospheric touch that once descended from the sky. The holy light shone, and the evil god of chaos retreated.
Joshua was completely out of the illusion. He was holding a spear in his hand and woke up. On the side, Brandon's eyes were still a little confused.
In front of the two of them, the internal structure of the evil god's fragment was completely destroyed by the two's attacks. The wind of chaos, which was compressed to the extreme, lost the energy structure that bound it, and wanted to explode and destroy everything around it, but this chaotic force However, all the light pillars of order inside the sealed stone chamber melted away, leaving only a wisp of dark blue smoke floating where the black ball was.
Thousands of years have passed, and a steel shell was built outside the sealed stone chamber by later generations. The craftsmen engraved in it the scene of the saint repelling the evil god. However, for some reason, the researchers he was waiting for never arrived. —Geological changes, volcanoes erupted, rock formations rose up into mountain peaks, and the seals of the past were completely buried underground.
Until now, two successors holding the things passed down by the sages came here.
"Is this... the truth behind the birth of the evil god? The elemental world that has bred so many air elemental beings died so easily..."
The blond swordsman's eyes gradually became clearer, and the aura on his body became stronger and stronger - the bright sword light of the last saint was so exquisite, his use of energy and perception of the world had already reached a level To the extreme, after Brandon witnessed all this, the realm that he had been unable to break through immediately loosened.
He actually broke through the ultimate level of skill just like this, here!
I left for Shanghai early this morning and returned to Canada. It took me a long time to pack my luggage... Today's update only has 4,000 words. I will make up for it when I get back.
