"Joshua, are you okay?"
In the silence, the warrior could vaguely hear a rather urgent call. It was the voice of an elf lady, with the unique soft voice of the elves around the Eternal Lake. At the same time, there was also a release of alien energy, which seemed to want to The connection point that blocks the communication between the remains of the Evil God of Abundance and himself.
Because of this action, Joshua reacted from the cold and dark illusion. He exhaled a breath, and then actively cut off the link with the remains of the Abundant Evil God, returning his consciousness to the real world.
Opening his eyes, Joshua looked back. He saw Galan Nord pressing a hand on the back of his shoulder. The pure power of nature surged, seeming to want to wake him up from his long immersion. Although this It was not necessary, but Joshua still put on a smile, nodded and said, "Thank you for your help, Teacher Nature, I'm fine."
It was already late at night, and Joshua had been linked to the remains of the evil god for more than four hours. Even the Western Mountain Sword Master Lamot, who was the slowest in clearing the Black Forest, had finished his work two hours ago and came to the Chaos in the center of the Black Forest. At the spring.
Seeing Joshua linking to the remains of the evil god alone, the holy sword user didn't say much. He just shook his head, then stood aside and leisurely lit a cigarette. This was something he left behind when he was not a legend in the early years. habit.
Originally, according to the plan, Garan Nord, Faina, La Motte and Joshua should work together to directly use the legendary power to erase the remains of the Fertile Evil God from the material world. It doesn't matter whether they are connected or not, because No one can guarantee that valuable information can be parsed from the chaotic whispers of the evil god, but since Joshua wants to try, others are willing to let him try - but this attempt takes so long that even The natural mentor who had the most confidence in the warrior felt something was wrong.
So she immediately took action, preparing to forcibly cut off the connection between Joshua and the evil god.
"What exactly did you see in the illusion?"
Garan Nord and Faina jointly conducted a test on the warrior. She confirmed that Joshua was not infected by Chaos and his mental state was still normal. Then, she patted the warrior's chest, which was quite strange. Said: "Why did you stay so long? It has been almost five hours."
On the side, Faina, who was reading a magic book, also shrugged: "And you actually took a step back subconsciously. This is not like you. Could it be that even a mere illusion would scare you back?"
This joke immediately triggered a burst of good-natured laughter around him, because everyone present knew that this was impossible. Apart from anything else, in the battle to seal the will of the world, Joshua killed the Black Dragon King and two The Demon King was not deterred by such dangerous situations as the legendary wheel battle, so how could this be possible in a mere illusion
But Joshua did not laugh together. His expression was solemn, and the atmosphere around him became gloomy, and his laughter gradually disappeared. At the same time, with a sharp and incomparable friction sound, the man who was originally behind the warrior , the twisted aperture where the Evil God's remains suddenly shattered! The twisted aperture with a radius of tens of meters was originally the source of all the chaotic atmosphere around it, but in an instant, all the chaotic aura decomposed itself in a sharp and fragmented sound, and the entire twisted aperture looked like broken glass. The layers collapsed and then became invisible!
It can be vaguely seen that in the center of the aperture, a strange shadow like a plant leaf appears vaguely, but it only appears for a moment, and then disappears, as if it has never existed, along with all the chaotic magic power around it. They all disappeared completely, and no trace of their existence could be sensed anymore!
Seeing this scene, the cigarette in Sword Master Lamot's hand fell from his fingers. Faina, who was flipping through the magic book, subconsciously closed the book. The natural teacher standing next to Joshua subconsciously took a step back. , made a posture of preparation for war.
However, the mutation ended here, and apart from the complete dissipation of the evil god's remains, nothing unexpected happened.
"Lord Radcliffe?"
Lamott, who was standing on the outermost side, stared at the position of the distorted aperture. He straightened his body and stamped out the cigarette butts under his feet. The sword master turned to look at Joshua and said in a doubtful tone: "You know... what exactly is this?" what happened?"
"I extracted all the information from this evil god's wreckage, so it decomposed itself."
In response, Joshua replied concisely and concisely: "I was immersed in illusions and made you wait for such a long time. I am really sorry."
No one cares about Joshua's apology. Now, there is only one question in everyone's mind.
What did Joshua see in the illusion that caused the remains of the evil god that had not changed for thousands of years to decompose itself
Faina was the first to ask this question. She and Joshua often exchanged letters about theoretical issues. She was also the first legendary powerhouse to go to a different world with civilization and communicate with the Atrium civilization. The two had a good personal relationship, so Faina did not hesitate to ask about this matter.
However, Joshua did not directly answer the East China Sea Sage's question. He took a deep breath, then looked up at the sky, and said calmly: "To be honest, if it weren't for the memory of the Evil God of Fertility, I really wouldn't be able to To imagine… is too young.”
"The multiverse we live in is really too young."
When Joshua said this, his heart was filled with emotion and disbelief.
Because if the memory of the Evil God of Abundance is not wrong and lies, then according to the research of those high-energy civilizations 160 million years ago, this multiverse including Mycrof's world was born only 3.2 billion years ago.
What is this concept? The earth is 4.6 billion years old, while the age of this multiverse is only 3.2 billion years. In other words, the earth alone has existed longer than this multiverse!
Although the time flow rate in each world is different, if calculated in standard time, it is indeed possible that the multiverse is only 3.2 billion years old, but tens of billions of years have passed in some worlds, but to be honest , this kind of situation has never been encountered by Joshua before. Whether it is the world of Kallis or the world of Siberia that he went to not long ago, the time flow rate in the two worlds is almost the same - if there is a level like Fate Lolvi The strong man controlling time is another matter.
But compared to Joshua's emotion, several other legendary powerhouses showed polite smiles to hide their confusion - although they understood the concept of 3.2 billion years, they didn't understand why this could be considered young.
After all, it only takes thousands of years for a world to take shape. It only takes millions of years for intelligent life to breed civilization from scratch. Because of the existence of extraordinary power and ancient dragons, the possibility of civilization being born and stabilizing is greatly increased. , the speed was also accelerated, and the entire Starfall Era was less than a thousand years.
Talk to them about the concept of 3.2 billion years. How can they understand its significance and empathize with Joshua's emotions? For them, the ancient civilization of 160 million years ago was surprising enough.
After understanding this, the warrior couldn't help but sigh.
One hundred and sixty million years ago, the prototype of the Evil God of Fertility was one of the initial batch of high-energy civilizations that formed the world's galaxy. It should be the first batch of intelligent life after the environment of the entire multiverse stabilized. They lived in the initial Around the fire, extremely brilliant civilizations have spawned. They can move the coordinates of the world and cross the void at will. They can even determine the age of the multiverse through certain means, and create planes and small worlds at will by artificial means.
And in the long record of such a glorious civilization, there is no trace of the existence of evil gods.
It was not deliberately deleted or not discovered. In fact, in the records of those civilizations, the evil god did not exist in that era at all. Those ancient civilizations selflessly pursued the ultimate goal of civilization, and there was no trace of chaos intrusion, and they could be invaded by external forces at any time. A threatening look? The behemoth of the void did not even exist in that era, and all worlds were created directly from nothingness by the primordial fire.
Only at the end of the illusion, after a long period of darkness, when all the ancient civilizations turned into smoke and dust in the maelstrom of the void, the familiar breath of chaos filled the void, and even the initial fire began to shrink, the initial giant beast of the void , and the oldest evil god of fertility quietly emerged.
On the side, all the legendary strong men listened carefully to Joshua's story. The warrior did not have much talent for speech, and everything was said in the simplest and most straightforward sentences and tone. But everyone, including the one on the side, secretly poked out a The platinum vine mother of the vine is immersed in the truth.
"All philosophical questions will eventually be converted into practical questions. Why does the apple fall? Why does everything exist? If you deduce it carefully, you can get many truths, such as gravity and electromagnetism... But the evil god is different. "
At this time, the soldier's face was extremely solemn. He recounted what he had seen and heard in the illusion of the Fertile Evil God, and described his understanding of it: "They reduced the problems of real existence to the original philosophical and conceptual problems. We originally We thought that the evil god was actually some kind of the most powerful demon, a physical threat like the most powerful void beast. But we were wrong, they did not exist at all. The evil god was actually a kind of creature that could forcibly change the structure of matter. The law, a special concept, as long as it is dominated by this law and concept, even the most normal world will become an evil god."
"The evil god doesn't exist?"
Faina, who was originally silent, asked. As a sage who pursues the truth of the world, her face was heavy: "Joshua, what does this mean?"
"It means that the evil god is actually a natural phenomenon. Just like the Holy Light was created by the saints, the evil god was also created by other beings. It does not exist in this multiverse at all - the laws of nature."
Joshua calmly replied: "The evil gods do not bring about the doomsday - they are the representatives of some kind of doomsday, they are the existence of the doomsday itself."
"The destruction of the world is just the cause of their birth, just like an earthquake. The real end is not the destruction caused by the earthquake, but the plate pressure accumulated in the earth's crust."
Suddenly, there was silence at the bottom of the Spring of Chaos, and no one continued to ask questions.
The evil god didn't exist in the multiverse from the beginning? Is it a law and natural phenomenon created by a certain being
This really breaks everyone's common sense. After all, according to their past knowledge, the truth is that the evil god is equal to the wreckage after the death of the world. There is no other explanation. But now, it is like someone suddenly told them that 1+1 is actually the truth. It is equal to 3, which shatters all the original cognitions.
Joshua, who had absorbed most of the memories from the remains of the Fertile Evil God, had a silvery glow in his eyes. He looked at the people around him and was lost in thought. He even planned to take out a communication device to contact the legendary strong men of his friends and companions. Shen He said: "This is just a guess, not a 100% fact. No one knows whether there will be errors or omissions in the memory of the Evil God of Fertility. There is no need for you to notify other legends so quickly."
"No, Joshua, this is important."
The natural teacher raised her head. At this time, she took out a mirror-like communication tool, which seemed to be contacting the Elf Queen of the Eternal Island. Garan Nord heard the warrior's words, then raised her head and explained: "The memory of the evil god is what you analyzed. information, and we believe you—and, the most important thing is that ‘the evil god did not exist from the beginning’.”
"Yes, Garan Nord is right."
Another time, Sword Master Lamot also nodded heavily. This casually dressed legendary strongman rarely frowned and looked serious. He said seriously: "To be honest, many high-level forces, such as the group of royal warlocks in Xishan, After knowing the existence of the evil god, their hearts were filled with uncontrollable fear, because they believed that the evil god was unstoppable. Even if one was destroyed, there would be a second and third one, endlessly and endlessly - but If it is true, as you say, that evil gods are not natural phenomena that existed at the beginning of the multiverse, then it means that they were indeed created by certain beings, just like my sword, which was forged by humans. Tool of."
"Since they can be created, they can be destroyed. Since they have an origin, they naturally have the possibility of a complete end."
Faina has finished sending the information. After all, she is the supreme leader of the East China Sea forces. Her expression at this time is no longer heavy, but instead has a smile: "Listen, I originally thought that the evil god was some kind of creature from the multiverse. Phenomenons that have existed since birth, like matter attracting each other and high-temperature objects transferring temperature to low-temperature objects, make people unable to muster the courage to resist. But now, after knowing this, I feel that the evil god' That's all."
Faina's last sentence was just that, she deliberately imitated Joshua's usual tone - she imitated it perfectly, even her voice was modified with magic, which made the warrior herself stunned for a moment, and then, this The Sage of the East China Sea sensed the current time for a while, then turned around and left, flying into the sky: "It's already very late, the black forest has been cleaned, and you have woken up. The next thing is left to the Vine Mother and the Prison Sky Dragon. , I want to return to the East China Sea first."
After finishing her words, Faina simply disappeared in mid-air with the fluctuation of space magic.
Immediately afterwards, Sword Master Lamott also said goodbye. Before leaving, he shook hands with Joshua and showed the information terminal that he made into a ring.
"This is good stuff."
Lamot said with a smile: "My wife rarely gives me a gift. She is now a die-hard fan of your Moldavia Industrial Group. The house is full of those interesting magic props you invented... This little thing makes me forget it." Wandering around the world, I can chat with her at any time, without having to prepare a large communication circle and magic source at home like before."
"This is the future development trend of magic props."
Joshua shrugged, and the two of them did not exchange too many greetings. After the sword master turned around, he turned into a phantom and disappeared into the real world like smoke.
"I don't have anything to say." The last person was the natural mentor. This beautiful elf lady smiled at Joshua, and then said softly: "However, the elves have joined the empire's external exploration plan, and it will be officially launched. At that time, I will come to the empire to visit you, Count, and personally watch the beginning of the first exploration operation."
“You are most welcome, you will not be disappointed.”
Soon, the body of the natural teacher also turned into pieces of flying branches and leaves, dissipating between the sky and the earth. In an instant, in the center of the entire black forest, there was no one at the bottom of the original spring of chaos. According to the plan, the 'alien sealing technique' was to be used. 'The completely sealed remains of the evil god were also completely destroyed by Joshua. The entire center of the black forest will gradually return to normal in more than ten years and become a normal and fertile forest.
Joshua was silent for a long time. His body slowly rose up and left the bottom of the Spring of Chaos. He stood on the black forest soil that had turned into white gravel.
"Are the ignorant fearless, or are they really not afraid of the truth at all?"
The warrior sighed and whispered: "Although it is just speculation, if the evil god is really like the holy light, it is a natural phenomenon created by an extremely powerful existence... Then, who is this existence? How powerful is it?"
And what is its purpose in creating the evil god
But this kind of contemplation was soon interrupted by the noise coming from the distance. Joshua raised his head, his eyes penetrated the layers of woods and hills and looked into the distance.
That was the sound of Heihe No. 1, who had transformed into the form of an ancient dragon, crossing the terrain and trampling on the black forest. Under the pressure of the legendary monsters on the side, the surrounding monsters dared not speak out in anger at the opponent's rude actions.
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to think about this kind of problem."
Joshua simply gave up thinking.
Regardless of who created the evil god and why he did it, does it make sense to think about this kind of thing? Can the invasion of evil gods be stopped by thinking about it? Can thinking about this kind of thing make Joshua stronger? Since neither can, then it is meaningless behavior.
What's more... just as Faina, the sage of the East China Sea, said.
"But—that's it."
Repeating this sentence that Faina imitated his daily vocabulary, Joshua swept away the slight gloom in his heart caused by the memory of the Evil God of Abundance. He smiled and shook his head and walked slowly in the direction of Heihe No. 1.
"Speaking of which, why do other legends have such handsome entrance and exit methods? Why can I only walk?"
I had a stomach attack yesterday and stopped reading for a day... I was supposed to ask for leave, but I forgot...
