Starfall 838, November 9, Mycroft World Northland Standard, 7:29 pm.
On the other side of the space-time rift, inside the multi-dimensional array.
"Verification permission passed."
When the ethereal voice of the stationed God of Life sounded, Priest, who had somehow run here behind Joshua and Eagle, couldn't help but take a deep breath.
After passing through layers of twisted time and space and so many checkpoints that one might wonder if he had fallen victim to the 'Endless Maze Technique', he finally came to the main core part of this huge multi-dimensional magic circle, named ' The Garden of Annihilation is a completely enclosed artificial alien space.
The black mist matrix is sealed at the core of this man-made space.
The Court of Annihilation is not the last layer of protection. In addition to the 36-story twisted space barrier and the 108 energy node levels, there are also many unique methods that have been added here, such as Junji Wei's dimensional shield, psychic subspace distortion matrix and hundreds of neutron star impact cannons and hypergravity transducers scattered throughout the seal, which are enough to smash ordinary planets to pieces - Priest knows it very well, because those giant cannons speak for themselves. It is a part of his mentor's body.
The Black Mist Mother Body is so dangerous, and so is the seal when fighting. No one can be sure whether this intelligent entity that has been traveling in the galaxy since ancient times has any hidden cards. All gods and legends are trying their best. , adding bricks and tiles to this seal, and finally solidifying the entire multi-dimensional array into an ultimate cage, a prison that can imprison the stars and the world. Even if the black mist mother body is completely destroyed in the future, this prison will still not be destroyed. It already has The power of self-healing and self-replenishment.
Priest saw his mentor and the old pope extend their right hands at the same time. Bright silver and golden light flashed. Suddenly most of the defense facilities opened their doors to them, and the core defense system-nine gods stood on A small area of the 'God's Realm Suppression Position' below has also become transparent, allowing the three people to freely enter and watch.
Priest swallowed his saliva. He had no idea how he, who originally planned to travel on Planet No. 1, ended up here, at the most secret and important seal of the Mycroft civilization. But now the young man He didn't even dare to ask, fearing that his voice would mess up something, so he could only step forward hurriedly, keeping up with Joshua and Eagle, and arrived at the transparent place.
And in the shroud of endless energy, in the center of the transparent seal, there is an extremely huge gray-white world, which is trapped in endless darkness, like an eyeball that will not close.
The deathly Alpha sanctuary is here, and it is wrapped in the black mist mother body until today.
Today, the purpose of the two legends coming here is to separate it from the black mist matrix.
The seal is extremely humane. It is completely inward and will not destroy everything in it indiscriminately. This is why Priest can walk alive on the grid-like floor made of pure energy, but his journey almost ends here. Because he saw that his mentor and the old pope stepped at the same time, stepped into the transparency, and directly entered the inside of the seal.
And at this moment, through the transparent seal, you can see that the originally silent black mist matrix inside the seal suddenly burst out, extending countless huge tentacles, and quickly lashed towards the two people!
But not to mention that it has been half a year since the Black Mist Mother Body was suppressed by multiple seals at this time. Even in its heyday, this kind of attack would never be able to cause any harm to the two legends - Joshua and the old pope only joined forces slightly. It easily shattered countless tentacles, causing large swaths of black waves to collapse and turn into iron-gray necrotic particles.
Soon after, they arrived in the gray outer world, before the world of Alpha Sanctuary.
"Let me do it."
Joshua was in the seal and did not feel much pressure, because the original target of the seal was not him. In addition, he had a world of his own in his body and was very resistant to various restrictions and fields: "My More experienced.”
"give it to you."
Eagle nodded. He was also not suppressed very much, because his glorious domain itself was actually the same kind of existence as the divine domain suppression of the gods.
Joshua stretched out his hand and pressed it on the materialized world barrier. He exerted a slight force, and the huge energy and kinetic energy turned into overlapping space-time oscillations under the control of extremely exquisite skills. In just a moment, the surface of the world The barrier opened a gray hole.
The warrior entered it first, then turned his head and motioned for the old pope to follow, and just after both of them went deep into the Alpha Sanctuary, the gray and inconspicuous space-time rift was closed in a burst of space-time distortion just like humans healing wounds.
"Why would you ask the gods to separate the world of Alpha Sanctuary from the Black Mist Matrix?"
Walking inside the world barrier, in an absolutely secret environment, Eagle asked in a puzzled tone while walking side by side with Joshua: "Let the black mist matrix be buried together with the world it protects. It has been extinguished." , the black mist has protected it for so many years, and refuses to be separated even in death, at least in the end, it allows them to end together."
Although it may be called hypocritical, this is the last mercy that Eagle can think of for Black Mist.
Joshua did not reply immediately. After a long time, when the two were about to reach the end of the world barrier and officially entered the world of Alpha Sanctuary, they whispered: "Because it is not extinguished."
"It's alive."
After finishing speaking, the light burst out, and the two passed through the extremely thick world barrier and finally reached the interior of the Alpha Sanctuary world.
A red continent-ocean world.
The dim energy sun hangs high in the sky, and the steaming water vapor permeates every part of the sky. The smoke mixes with dust and turns into a thick gray barrier, covering the entire world. It seems to be a thick quilt, covering everything The heat is trapped in it.
High temperatures exceeding hundreds of degrees mixed with water vapor are scorching every inch of land on the continent. Everything is scorched earth and gravel without any appearance. It is sometimes dry and sometimes wet. Perhaps it will be covered with water in hundreds of years. Shrouded in clouds of vapor, not a single water molecule may be seen for hundreds of years.
There is no possibility of any life existing on this land. Even extreme thermophilic bacteria and extreme acidophilic bacteria will never be able to survive in such a changeable and complex world.
And Joshua and Eagle landed on a black beach near the sea. They stepped on the hot gravel and watched the boiling water vapor forming hot tornadoes in front of their eyes, at the edge and depth of the ocean. Raging like giant pillars supporting the sea and sky, they are constantly exchanging matter between the clouds and the ocean.
"...You mean, there is life in this kind of world?"
Eagle stared at it for a long time before speaking slowly: "Is it still alive?"
Just as the old pope was speaking, he could see a black wave suddenly rising in the crimson ocean. Dark red like rust emerged from the depths of the seabed, and a large number of material fragments originated from the seafloor and even from the depths of the earth's crust. The debris spreads along with a huge amount of fine minerals, and the hot seafloor jets and volcanic eruptions ignite a large amount of silt and biological corpses that have been deposited for countless years, and then send them into the shallow sea on the surface of the ocean.
Countless scattered minerals even turned the ocean red, and the pungent iron smell reacted along the nasal cavity, stimulating the artificial ganglia that simulated the light creature Eagle.
The old pope silently raised his head and looked into the distance. He could see that in the distance of the vast red sea, there were countless bubbles and huge waves tumbling. The turbid air bags were accompanied by immeasurable water vapor clouds and mist heading towards the top of the sky. The top spreads, and from a distance, it seems like a huge cloud giant is slowly getting up, and the surface temperature of this giant exceeds 270 degrees.
"This is hell."
Eagle said so.
"But it's a hell with life."
Joshua replied: "Every life, including the life from which you and I originate, will experience hell."
Joshua leaned down, half-kneeling on the coastline, and picked up a handful of seawater with his own hands. He stared at the thick seawater with complex composition in his hands, and then put it back into the ocean. The warrior stood up, and his serious old pope said: " Not here, but under the sea.”
With that said, he took steps and entered the sea. Joshua's figure quickly submerged into the turbid water, while Eagle was slightly stunned, then shook his head and followed him into it.
They moved forward in silence for a long time. After an unknown amount of time, the two of them were already at the deepest part of the dark, filthy, almost semi-condensed ocean.
Large and small deep-sea high-heat vents are rapidly spewing heat from the depths of the earth. A large number of minerals with inorganic macromolecular structures are mixed with seawater and are ejected, forming a large and continuous high-heat deep sea layer. The jet temperature ranges from 300 to One thousand six hundred degrees, the elements and ether are extremely active here, and even a slight element-ether cross-discharge phenomenon can be seen around the vent.
Joshua swept across this large area of hot vents on the seafloor. The dark water could not block his sight at all. After a few seconds, the warrior determined his target. He pointed casually and said to Eagle: "Look."
"That's where 'life' is."
The old pope doubtfully followed Joshua's guidance and looked at the unremarkable ring of undersea thermal layers. It was a simple pocket-like layer of water surrounded by rocks, with countless high-heat and thick layers in it. The original hot soup is boiling, and Eagle can see that among the sedimentary substances of this hot soup, there is a pool of simple organic matter - or, muddy water.
The simplest small organic molecules are constantly rolling under the impact of heat flow. They are whipped and stimulated by elemental lightning, and finally aggregate with other small organic molecules to form larger organic molecules. It can be seen that there are already ones that can divide themselves and grow themselves. Linear macromolecules such as ribonucleic acid appear.
"You said, that's life?"
Eagle wanted to laugh. He thought it was Joshua's sense of humor that was not understood by others again, but he couldn't laugh. He turned to look at the warrior and asked every word: "It?"
"This kind of thing is more like the simplest machine than life - even the structure of a wardrobe is more complicated than it!"
But Joshua still didn't answer immediately. After a while, he replied calmly: "Life is a machine."
"You and me." He raised his index finger, pointed at himself, and then at Eagle, and said calmly: "When you and I were still flesh and blood, there were countless machines in our bodies."
"They supply each other, absorb energy, and store it in the chemical bonds of the microstructure. They use ribonucleic acid and deoxyribonucleic acid as raw materials as a database for recording information. They divide and reproduce, metabolize, eat, move, and maintain their own health. It exists and uses various reactions in its own body to make all the molecular-level building blocks it needs."
"Its name is a cell, the most primitive 'machine'. And in the primordial soup in front of you, the miracle of converting inorganic matter into organic matter and polymerizing small molecules into large molecules is going on - the miracle called life. Miracle."
Joshua turned his head, not looking at Eagle, but looking at the primordial soup. He whispered: "I didn't expect that the Black Mist Mother Body could actually achieve this."
"You mean, these lives..."
The old pope keenly noticed Joshua's soliloquy. Although he did not understand some special terms, with his wisdom and micro-level observation ability, he could naturally understand the temporary words. He immediately asked: " What did the Black Mist Mother Body do?”
"I can see the replay of the power of steel and the memory of this world."
Joshua did not directly answer the old pope's question. He pondered for a while, and then said slowly: "The facts are as you think, Alpha Sanctuary has actually been destroyed long ago - together with the survivors of the last Sanctuary civilization. . But the black mist has no intention of giving up. It tries to reshape the world again and again and create the bodies of people in the sanctuary."
"But it can't create a soul. Of course, a pure body can indeed move, but as a higher civilization, Sanctuary people are born with souls. The souls are even part of their genetic organs. Without souls, their bodies can even It cannot be activated, and without the precipitation of time and wisdom, the soul cannot be generated by pure material movement, so the black mist can never resurrect the people in the shelter."
"so?"
Eagle had long since lost his heart, but he felt that his heart was beating wildly.
"So." Joshua answered seriously: "The Black Mist Matrix restores everything to its original state - it reconstructs a brand new Alpha Sanctuary, then starts from the original source, and patiently waits for life to be born from this primitive ocean. .”
"It will take millions of years to catalyze life from the macromolecular structure bit by bit to influence the people it wants to shelter. It will take millions of years to create a person from scratch. A complete ecosystem, a biological chain!”
"In order to shorten this time, Black Mist hunts the ancient dragon in an attempt to seize the power of creation. Its purpose is to control the evolutionary process of the entire world and create a new shelter civilization!"
