To be honest, although Hao Ren is well-informed now, before he heard the truth told by Constance, he never imagined that Laherien's real history would look like this.
This is a world that has been destroyed many times. It has experienced far from only two doomsdays as Hao Ren guessed at first—that is, the doomsday caused by the Lord of Crazy, and the doomsday caused by the fall of the Goddess of Creation. the second doomsday. In fact, compared with the things it experienced, the shock wave that split the planet in two released when the goddess of creation fell was nothing at all.
From the first era when the ancestral civilization that was so powerful that it could almost reverse the laws of the universe was destroyed by the lord of madness, the whole world was shattered, the entire civilization was destroyed once, and now there is only one incomplete planet left in the whole world. The warriors have degenerated to the point where they can only wield swords and spears to fight, and the gap between them is not just as simple as the long river of time.
Every collapse of the universe means the complete shattering and reorganization of the timeline. Everything is reshuffled like formatting, and the inheritors are equivalent to "stubborn files" that cannot be deleted cleanly every time formatting. They forcibly continued something in the annihilation cycle, and today, they don't even know what they are continuing.
Hao Ren now finally knows what the Gorgon Empire, the Tumen Empire, and Khersonga, these seemingly vastly different "countries" are, they are all Laherian civilizations—it is this civilization that is constantly reincarnated in annihilation civilizations have different names in different worldlines.
Looking into Constance's eyes, Hao Ren said slowly: "The first question I want to know - madness... I mean annihilation, is it also weakening at the same time?"
Constance was stunned when she heard this question, and then she showed understanding: "Indeed, this is the point. With the continuous destruction and reshaping of the world, it seems that not only the 'origin' of the orderly world is being lost , the power of annihilation is constantly weakening. At first it could completely wipe out the entire universe, but after a few epochs, it could only wreak havoc within the Milky Way, and today... its power has even weakened Too much to kill an old man like Archduke Owen on the spot."
Grand Duke Owen, who was lying on the bed, immediately yelled angrily: "Your Highness, I am always getting old, but it is not time to become a weak person, right?"
It seemed that after resting for a while, his spirit recovered a little.
After hearing Constance's words, Hao Ren didn't say anything more, but silently memorized the important clue that the power of "annihilation" would weaken synchronously with the reincarnation of the universe, and had never been able to completely destroy Laherien. Then he asked the second question: "Does anyone know what causes the world to constantly reshape the cycle?"
"How could anyone know?" Constance looked at Hao Ren with a slightly strange look, "The world is destroyed and then reborn. This is almost the truth of this world. The most ancient ancestors have not been able to understand the true meaning of the universe. People are even less likely—after all, the level of civilization is constantly declining.”
"Is that so..." Vivian next to him also broke the silence, "Does anyone know the specific situation of the first generation of ancestors? For example, what is the name of their civilization, what level of technology has they reached, and... What did they do at the last minute?"
Constance shook her head: "No one knows. The older the memory, the more serious the loss. Even the most powerful inheritor of the soul can't resist this law. Even my father, he only knows six The approximate history of seven epochs ago is just that, and as for the oldest ancestor of the first generation and the universe in the first epoch... To be honest, it is almost a myth, we only have vague concepts and some pieced together It’s just a record. So what I just said may not be the complete truth—the real history has long been submerged by reincarnation, and no one knows it anymore.”
As she spoke, she finally couldn't restrain her doubts: "Are you really the inheritors? These few questions you asked... should not come from the mouths of the inheritors."
"Probably because we inherit more technology and knowledge," Hao Ren said casually, "If you want to talk about some black technology, we still have some in the World Tree Temple, but if you want to talk about the historical data during the era change... Speaking of it It's kind of embarrassing."
"Does this happen to the inheritors?" Constance frowned slightly, "The world has been reincarnated too many times, and the inheritors seem to have gradually reached their limit... More and more abnormal situations are constantly appearing, but Fortunately, at least you have brought knowledge."
Leah asked curiously at this time: "So according to you, His Majesty Brentin is also the inheritor? And the war you are fighting...is to complete the era change?"
Constance showed a serious expression: "Yes, and from the day I became conscious, I knew this day was coming."
Perhaps affected by Constance's decisive aura, the room fell silent for a while. Charlemagne and Evanna needed time to slowly understand and accept these unbelievable facts, but Hao Ren was thinking about some more profound things. matter.
For example, the real reason for the phenomenon of "annihilation of reincarnation" in this world - he believes that it is definitely not the handwriting of the crazy lord. The reason is very simple. The crazy lord has no thinking ability and cannot do this kind of leek cutting finely tuned.
At this moment, Constance stretched out her hand to hold the platinum scepter floating in mid-air.
The platinum scepter made a slight hum, which woke Hao Ren from his thoughts, and his attention was once again attracted by the scepter.
Before Constance took the scepter away, he hurriedly asked: "Wait a minute, I have another question—what is this platinum scepter used for?"
"The scepter of dominion is the key to the change of era," Constance seemed very patient. "When the battle for the change of era is in its final stage, all the order in the entire world will basically collapse, but only when the platinum scepter is shrouded Within the range, order will survive—and the place protected by the scepter is the battlefield for the final battle. The fate of the world will come to an end under the scepter, and the new era will also be centered on the scepter."
Hao Ren's eyes lit up slightly: "In other words, this scepter is something that has never changed in the process of annihilating reincarnation again and again? Is it an ancient artifact that existed in the first era?"
Constance hesitated for a moment: "... I dare not say for sure, but it does exist in many eras."
Hao Ren stretched out his hand: "Can we take a look? Don't worry, just take a look. We are very interested in this ancient relic."
Without thinking too much, Constance handed the platinum scepter to Hao Ren.
Hao Ren took the scepter and carefully looked at the patterns and carvings on its surface, while the data terminal flew to the scepter at the same time and scanned it completely from top to bottom.
"Leah, come and take a look." After confirming that the data terminal has finished scanning and building files, Hao Ren handed the scepter to Leah next to him.
The little Goddess of Creation took the staff that was almost twice as tall as hers, and kept nodding her head as she looked at it seriously. She didn't know if she really saw something. Minutes before returning the scepter to Constance.
"Can you see anything?" Constance asked with a smile in the corner of her eyes.
"The pattern is nice, it looks very gorgeous," Hao Ren spread his hands, "As I said, our historical inheritance... is really a little hard to bear. I can't see any secrets in it at all."
As he said this, he quickly communicated with the data terminal in his mind: "How is it? Did you find anything?"
"It is indeed possible that the era has changed - except for a layer of coating on the surface of the scepter, the materials used inside it are not at all manufactured by the Laheriens of this era, and even a galaxy-level civilization like Gorgon can't do it. It can’t be done. After a rough analysis of this machine, the material of the main body of the scepter is already comparable to the main material of the Genesis Engine in terms of strength.”
"Then it could really be from the First Age... what else?"
"In addition, an extremely sophisticated data storage structure was found in the scepter. Although it cannot be deciphered for the time being, this machine has extracted it through the information snapshot, and it has been uploaded to Nolan. She should be able to handle it. In addition, Liana Bian should also extract a copy of the scepter's data, and let her pass the data to Nolan later, and compare the two samples with each other, which should improve the cracking efficiency."
The communication between Hao Ren and the data terminal was carried out at the level of consciousness, and the exchange of information was completed in an instant. At this time, Constance had just put away the platinum scepter. She looked at the brothers and sisters Charlemagne and Evanna, who were still a bit slowed down, and shook her head imperceptibly: "It seems that it will take a while for you to get used to it—go back to your room to rest first, and wait until you sort out your thoughts Come to me again, and I hope you will find your place in the turn of the era by then."
Charlemagne said immediately: "No, we can..."
"It's meaningless to be brave. This is the turn of the era, not a small war between a few countries," Constance unceremoniously interrupted the talented but obviously lacking Prince Yisu, and then his tone softened slightly. , "I didn't deny what you meant - you spent so many twists and turns to send the scepter to me, which has laid a cornerstone for the alternation of the era, but you really need to reorganize your thoughts. This era is coming to an end Now, the doomsday is not in the distant prophecy, but in front of our eyes, at such a time, we should give ourselves more time to think quietly."
Evanna blinked: "Because soon we will find that immersing ourselves in quiet thinking will be the last luxury in this world, isn't it?"
"You're very smart," Constance glanced at Awenna, her eyebrows raised, but her tone didn't have the slightest hint of contempt, "Wisdom is precious, cherish it."
The Charlemagne brothers and sisters left.
Only Hao Ren and his party were left in the room, as well as Grand Duke Owen and Princess Constance.
Grand Duke Owen, who had been silent since just now, suddenly broke the silence: "Your Highness, I have a request."
