The size of the demiplane within the point of space-time distortion, that is, the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrificial Field, is beyond the imagination of all the legendary powerhouses who entered it.
"This place... is at least as big as the Northern Province."
Flying high in the sky, Nostradamus looked at the end of his field of vision. He looked at the center of the demiplane, the unknown area shrouded in layers of silver mist just below the gray sun, with a serious look on his face: "This desert alone is... There are nearly 100,000 square kilometers, and there are at least six or more areas equivalent to it on the outside, and there are many unknown areas in the inner layer... Could the civilization of the Glorious Era have actually created such a huge demiplane?"
“…”
"Joshua?"
"… I am listening."
Also in mid-air, Joshua, who was called out by the old mage before replying late, looked very unhappy because the feeling of calling he felt was getting stronger and stronger.
If he had only a vague feeling before, now it was like a knife was placed in front of the warrior's forehead, making him feel that someone was about to attack him, causing his body to subconsciously fight back, and Joshua had to suppress this impulse. , force yourself to calm down and communicate with others.
"You are a little absent-minded." Nostradamus turned his head in confusion and said bluntly: "What's going on? Does the abyss here make you uncomfortable?" At this point, the old mage shook his head mockingly. As far as he knew, the guy in front of him almost killed an Abyss Lord in the Abyss half a year ago - such a person was uncomfortable with the aura of the Abyss, so it was impossible to do anything.
"It's nothing, probably... it's really an environmental problem."
Joshua took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the impulse in his body. He also looked into the distance at the end of his field of vision. The gray sun rays in the center of the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrificial Field were reflected in his eyes. He calmly replied: "If only the light shines, Judging from the civilizations of the Era clans, they have the strength to create such a large demiplane, but it will definitely come at a huge price. The loss of material from the Mycroft Continent will definitely make Mother Earth angry. In fact, Mother Earth will be furious. The Ten Thousand Realms Sacrificial Site was constructed by the gods of all races joining forces and spending hundreds of years pulling the world fragments in the void, so it is not surprising that it is so big. Rather, it should have shrunk a lot during these thousands of years of wandering."
- Use affirmative sentences.
After listening to the warrior's answer, Nostradamus nodded thoughtfully. Of course he noticed Joshua's strange behavior after entering this demiplane, and also noticed his behavior as he moved forward and passed through various regions.
Whether he was crossing the desert of death or passing by the silent hills, Joshua's performance was very calm, without any signs of curiosity or surprise. This calmness did not mean that he did not care or that the city was extremely deep, but a kind of familiarity. The indifference that followed, in other words, made Joshua feel as familiar with this demiplane that no one had entered for thousands of years as if it was his own home.
Afterwards, regarding his questions, Joshua said a lot of information that could be regarded as facts by default, but he thought this was normal.
But this is not ordinary, Joshua, and you shouldn't know this much.
Nostradamus kept this thought in his heart, and he and the warrior descended back to the earth. After several years of getting along, the old mage has become very familiar with Joshua. He now does not need to notify him in advance when entering or leaving the Moldavia Lord's Mansion. Both the guard at the door and No. 3 will automatically let him go, and the soldiers are not surprised. Strange, and it was precisely because he became more and more familiar that Nostradamus had doubts in his heart.
He only noticed the sudden rise of the young earl because of the black tide in the North. At that time, Nostradamus's focus of observation was still on Brandon. He noticed Joshua's potential, but it was only It's potential. Even the old mage could never have dreamed that just a few years later, the young man who had just entered the golden age and just inherited the title would have become a legendary powerhouse like him - even more advanced than him!
It is precisely because of this strong contrast that Nostradamus was curious. The curiosity of mages is terrifying. They will analyze the details of everything bit by bit, just to get the answers they want. For this reason, Nostradamus meditated in his secret room for several days, filtering all the information he knew about Joshua, and even the words and deeds of the other party, in his mind, so, He then made an astonishing discovery.
Joshua Van Radcliffe. This man can predict the future.
In fact, the term "predicting the future" is actually a bit biased, because some of the things he knows are impossible to know even if he can predict the future, but other than that, there are no good adjectives to describe it.
Whether it was the Black Tide, the Dragon Calamity, cultists, the Great Plague, or a series of major events related to the Mycroft Continent, Joshua could always predict the unexpected and make corresponding preparations in advance. He immediately responded to the Black Tide. Defeated his own herd, and then sent troops to save the Moldovan lord, Count Verdani, who should have died. During the Mad Dragon Disaster, he even killed all the white dragons in his territory half a year in advance, and developed the Mad Dragon. Dragon Disease Vaccine - Nostradamus felt that he did not have any doubts at the time, probably because he was too tired and damaged his brain. He should have noticed this a long time ago.
Needless to say, when it comes to dealing with cultists and plagues, Count Radcliffe is always one step ahead of others and handles everything perfectly. This perfection is even reflected in another world. He has become the inheritor of countless saints' relics over the past millennium. A great achievement that no one has ever accomplished - retrieving the fourth relic and rekindling the fire! This cannot be fooled by using the inheritance of sages as an excuse! There are many things that clearly prove that Joshua knows things he shouldn't know, and the most terrifying thing is that he never hides this.
Just like just now, he said the name of this demiplane in an ordinary way, 'Sacrificial Ground of All Realms'.
Nostradamus could have sworn that among the ancient civilizations he had studied for more than ten years, no book from the Glorious Era mentioned this name. Even the demiplane itself seemed to be non-existent. But Joshua was very familiar with this place, and even knew its name... This strong sense of disharmony made the old mage feel a stomach ache.
—Is he trying to test me by exposing this information so unpreparedly
In addition to having a stomachache, Nostradamus had some doubts about whether Joshua did it on purpose, but he thought about it rationally and put the doubts behind him - if this man can play tricks, then he is not Joshua, he probably just said what he wanted to say and didn't care whether he was exposed or not.
"Yes, you do have a clear conscience."
Nostradamus suddenly murmured such words to himself, and Joshua turned his head in confusion and glanced at the old mage, but because of the strong induction, he did not continue to pay attention. Noticing the warrior's reaction, Nostradamus sighed deeply.
Forget it, so what if Joshua can predict the future? Everything he has been doing is to help more people escape suffering and to bring life back to this dying world. He actually doesn't care whether he is the reincarnation of an ancient god or a gifted prophecy. At home, the old mage was just curious and looked forward to the day when the warrior could tell him the truth.
At this time, Joshua did not notice the tangled thoughts of the legendary mage beside him. Instead, he put his hand on his forehead and closed his eyes. In fact, even if he knew, he would not take it seriously, or even simply tell the other party that he was actually a time traveler - just as Nostradamus said, he has a clear conscience, and no one would do it because of this inability to prove the truth. Offending a powerful legend with a trivial matter, after all, even the Seven Gods didn't care.
But now is not the time to talk about this. The current warrior didn't even notice that Hotaru and Rin had stepped forward to hold his back with worried faces. He also didn't notice that the old mage and the ball of light turned their heads towards him in surprise. Joshua said from just now After taking out the information about the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrificial Site, he felt a strong sense of trance attacking his brain. If he had not been able to notice where the abnormality came from before, then now he knew - the abnormality was exactly It comes from the sun hanging high in the sky of the demiplane, shining with dim gray light!
The gray sun that had been dim for thousands of years seemed to be about to go out. Even in the previous life, there was no sign of its light returning. Now it seemed to be activated by something, and it began to release powerful silver-white light bit by bit. , and neither Nostradamus nor other legendary powerful men who were exploring the plane paid attention, because to them who did not understand the Sacrifice of All Realms, this was just a normal alternation of day and night. They even thought that it was gray before When the sun dims, it's night in this artificial demiplane setting.
…
[I can hear the lamentation among the stars, Cynthia, Morning Star, my disciple, can you hear it too? They are crying because the world, civilization, sentient beings, order, everything is destroyed by the invasion of chaos... I can't bear it anymore.]
[Then teacher, what should we do? The multiverse is too vast, and even you can't save it all.]
[At least, I want to help those I can hear... I already have a plan.]
…
Along with a strong trance, Joshua felt a hazy word flashing through his mind. He could vaguely see that it was a beautiful elf woman with a sad face who was respectfully facing a white figure. Kneeling on one knee, she raised her head sadly, and her face overlapped with that of the Star Saint of the Grandia world.
"This is... Star Sage Cynthia Morningstar? Is that person a sage?"
Even in a brief scene, Joshua could clearly tell who the owner of these words was, but he didn't understand why this was happening. As the gray sun in the distance above his head became brighter and brighter, that kind of The sense of trance became heavier and heavier, and the space for the warrior to think became smaller and smaller. Joshua also discovered the purpose of the power that invaded his spiritual will - it simply wanted to pull his spirit into it. The spiritual world is just like the Azure Orb that pulled the warrior's will into the spiritual world of the sages' memory fragments.
However, Joshua is very different now from before, and the owner of the unknown will is also very different from the sage. What's more, Joshua can detect that the other person's soul has been severely damaged and has not yet been fully restored. Healed, so there was an extremely strong confrontation between the wills of both parties, and some information even began to be exchanged with each other under the fierce conflict, just like the memories he saw about the sages.
"Don't want me to go to your place!"
After realizing the other party's purpose, how could Joshua let the other party take the lead? A sage is nothing more than a strong man who can run rampant across the multiverse and kill multiple evil gods. The warrior is willing to admit that he is far inferior to his opponent now, but even so, Joshua believes that one day in the future he will be able to surpass the sage. Not to mention other people.
This inexplicable thing that had never appeared in his previous life wanted to take away his will so easily? ridiculous!
"Come here!"
Gritting his teeth and roaring, Joshua spit out such a sentence from his teeth under the concerned eyes of the Shenji siblings, the ball of light and the old mage. Just as his spirit was extremely condensed, he forced himself along that mysterious track. The moment the will that was engaged in a long-distance soul tug-of-war with him was pulled from the other side, the gray sun that was gradually lighting up in the sky immediately lost its brilliance and returned to its previous dim appearance. At the same time, a huge and affected The severely injured will was dragged into Joshua's mental space in a daze.
And Joshua was completely caught up in the huge flow of information brought by the other party.
…
[My strength comes from the gift of the will of all realms. Now is the time for me to give back to all realms. You don’t need to persuade me. This is my future path.]
[No, teacher, Christina and I are not trying to stop you, we just think that this great goal does not need to be undertaken by you alone... We and the gods are willing to move forward with you!]
…
In front of the temple burning with holy flames, a slightly tired, muscular man and a mysterious woman with black hair and white skin, who covered her face with a veil, bowed respectfully to the door of the temple. Both of them seemed to be flowing with blood. With the substantial ripples of holy light, they talked with the majestic voice coming from the temple, seeming to want to convince that respected being.
Joshua, who had not yet come to his senses, looked at this scene in confusion. He already knew that he had won the spiritual war, but it was obvious that he had not achieved complete victory, as evidenced by this scattered information flow. Looking at these passing fragments, the soldier suddenly understood something.
"these are… "
A moment of trance.
…
[Let us cheer for the light of wisdom of all races and gods! This great creation deserves our eternal praise! Teacher, you see, from now on the stars are in our palms!]
[Very good... Hells, you are indeed the disciple who understands me best. Just tell me, in addition to help, do you also want to rely on it to conquer other worlds?]
[… Of course, teacher, I dare not deceive you, but if you don’t use force to defend it, how can you drive out chaos, and how can truth and justice come?]
…
Under the silver-white sun, the tall gray-haired man excitedly introduced to his teacher the crystallization of wisdom he had created by uniting all the gods from all races, the supreme creation of the Mycroft civilization. His teacher also seemed a little surprised. But he saw through his disciple's true thoughts at a glance. Regarding this, the tall and strong man, whose whole body seemed to be carved from the most perfect marble, stated his desires without concealment.
Joshua watched the scenes in silence. At this time, he had recovered from his trance and had begun to consciously collect the spilled information. But the more he watched, the more certain he became about his guess.
"Not even close."
The mind sank into the flow of information, and the trance struck again, but this time, what appeared were huge and illogical fragments of chaos. All memories had no logic at all, as if they had been shattered and destroyed by some huge force. , and the owner of the memory cannot repair them and can only leave them to become what they are today.
After a long time, the next scene briefly appeared.
…
[You actually want my daughter to merge with that filthy and chaotic existence? I will never allow it or agree with it!]
[This is the only way to save you and your daughter. I'm sorry, but I can only do this.]
[Ah ah ah! I curse you! Curse you! Humans, elves, dwarves, all... dwell in... I curse...]
…
Under the dome of the sea of stars, the friction of steel turned into a rumbling roar. Joshua could not see any clear scene, but he could hear a tired and helpless voice, talking to a deep and furious voice. Very soon Obviously, the two sides did not reach an agreement. Under a wave of power that was extremely huge even after thousands of years, the furious voice suddenly became low and weak, and finally disappeared.
"Not enough, next one."
The warrior's voice sounded, and light and shadow intertwined.
…
[Teacher, will Mycroft’s world be destroyed?]
[If you are talking about the complete disappearance of traces of existence, of course not. But if you are talking about the survival of the world itself, you can only look at the struggles of future generations. That is a distant future that has nothing to do with you and me.]
[Could it be that... Teacher, can’t you stay?]
[This accident made me realize many truths that I had never noticed before... That is something that Mycroft cannot solve even if I stay in it for ten thousand years. Therefore, the rest of the world will be left to you.]
…
"This is the conversation between the sage and his disciples, and it is also the memory of the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrificial Site. It is the origin and end of the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrificial Site."
The last scene also disappeared from his eyes. Joshua sighed deeply in his spiritual world. He turned his head and looked at the darkness on one side: "Right?"
"Correct. Inheritor. What you said is the truth."
In the dark spiritual space, a bit of silver light suddenly appeared, and the next moment, the silver light surged, brightening the entire darkness, and a huge silver-gray light ball appeared beside Joshua. He said in a machine-like tone: "The existence message has been confirmed. Inheritance number three, holder of 'Azure Glory'. Please go to the central sacrificial site, the multi-quadrant transmission is ready."
"Please be ready to save the world."
