Sinking in the darkness, the five senses gradually disappear, and even the spiritual world gradually produces the illusion of disintegration and emptiness, as if the self has dissipated between heaven and earth, and has never existed from the past to the future. He would be completely panicked, but Hao Ren quickly calmed down, because this was not the first time he had encountered a similar situation.
Every time I was dragged into the "Goddess Illusion" by Leah's divine power, I felt like this. The process of being extracted and injected into the illusion world was like rebirth, but this time the reaction was only stronger than the previous few times.
Hao Ren waited quietly in the dark. When the feeling of mental numbness and loss of five senses gradually receded, the light appeared before his eyes again, and his feet stepped on the solid ground again.
He looked around and saw that he was standing in a resplendent and majestic palace, surrounded by an astonishingly wide corridor. The walls of the corridor were lined with crystal windows tens of meters high. Columns are arranged along the long corridor, extending all the way to the end of the line of sight.
In between, there are long curtains hanging down from the dome. The curtains seem to be burning with golden flames. The flames are shrouded in flames, and you can see the mythical scenes of creation constantly changing on the surface of those curtains.
"Sure enough..." Hao Ren muttered in a low voice, but he wasn't too surprised.
He had seen this scene before, it was the temple on the founding star in the past, and he was brought into this illusion after touching the golden disc. But this time it seems to be a little bit different...
Hao Ren frowned and looked around, and found that the illusion this time was much more detailed than the last time, and the distant scene was also very clear. Standing between the pillars, doors and windows, he couldn't help feeling "" This is the real world" idea—after some thinking, he thought that this change should be caused by Leah's divine power.
After all, the last time he entered the illusion was by chance, but this time he was guided in by Leah.
But then again... what about Leah
Hao Ren searched everywhere, but he couldn't find the Goddess of Creation who led him into the illusion. Instead, a bright flash of light suddenly appeared in the corner of his vision—the flash exploded with a deafening noise, rolling A scorching storm erupted, shattering some of the windows and pillars of the temple, and with the flash and explosion, everything in the illusion began to work quickly as if a certain switch had been pressed.
Deafening explosions came from all directions, endless flames and thunder raged outside the window, and then poured into the interior of the palace through the shattered windows, the whole building shook violently in the explosion, huge stones and metal fell from the The high dome fell, and for a moment, the sky fell apart.
"They are attacking the main hall! The divine barrier has been breached!"
"The second door has been breached! Reserve team, reserve team hurry to mother's side!"
"The great temple is sinking! The energy of the Sea of Origin is out of control, and those rebels have opened a gate under the temple! Hurry up..."
Countless shouts of killing came from far or near, and the roar of the guardian giant, which contained anger and fighting intent, roared through all the halls like thunder, and there were real thunder and explosions in the middle. , Hao Ren propped up the shield immediately to resist the falling boulders and the out-of-control shock waves overflowing everywhere, but he looked around, but there was no one in sight.
You can't see the guardian giants guarding the temple, nor can you see the rebel army attacking here.
Another battle roar exploded beside him, and he clearly heard the roar sounding a hundred meters away from him, but he couldn't see a single figure at all, only a handle suddenly appeared there. The incomplete giant sword, with thunder flames on the blade, collided with something invisible, and the grand explosion completely swallowed it, a large number of broken stones and metal fragments rushed towards the face, crackling on the surface of the rigid shield. Countless sparks were knocked out.
Raising his hand to resist these destructive fragments, Hao Ren's heart suddenly tightened: This time the illusion is really different from before!
What happened here could work on him!
The fragments that hit the shield were all real, and he clearly felt that the capacity of his shield was dropping rapidly in shock waves!
"I'm going, I can't stay here anymore!" Hao Ren broke out in a cold sweat, and then ran away, rushing towards the depths of the temple in the direction he remembered last time—although he didn't know that this place had changed. The illusion has any special meaning, but he feels that the center of the illusion, which is the place where the goddess of creation fell, will definitely be able to answer his doubts.
Everything around him began to collapse, just like what he had witnessed before, this ancient and sacred palace was rapidly disintegrating under the attack of the godslayer, and those gorgeous pillars and walls were as vulnerable as sand piled up, They collapsed layer by layer, while the bloody ocean of the founding star rolled up a huge wave outside the temple, as if it was going to swallow this place.
Hao Ren ran wildly in the flames and thick smoke, and crossed countless long corridors and wide halls in an instant. Although there was no one in sight, the Godslayer's attack had clearly reached the final line of defense. There was no one in the temple. One place is not burning, not one place is not collapsing, and at the end of the road ahead, the vaguely familiar gate has been breached, and he can feel that the goddess of creation is behind the gate.
Since he had already experienced it once, and the Goddess of Creation had been found and revived by himself, Hao Ren felt that he was much calmer than last time. He walked through the gate without hesitation, and the scene he had seen before appeared in front of his eyes.
The figure in the golden-red armor stood in front of the altar, holding a long black sword that looked like cosmic fragments, and on the altar was the Goddess of Creation who was quietly welcoming death, the latter was still shrouded in a ray of light , but she could still vaguely discern the outline of Liya's figure.
"Why didn't I realize that she was short..." Hao Ren mumbled subconsciously, and strode towards the center of the hall.
He found that the time here seemed to be frozen. The moment he entered the hall, the sound of the battle outside was no longer heard, and the flames burning in the hall were also strangely still in mid-air: this was another experience different from the previous experience of this illusion. place.
He came to the scene of the godslayer, reached out and grabbed the arm of the godslayer—he had seen Leah's real face, and he could see it almost every day, so this time he didn't care much about the goddess of creation, but However, he became very curious about this assassin who completed the "God Killing Feat" 10,000 years ago.
However, when he saw the face of the godslayer, he found that the face of the other party was covered with a layer of mist that could not be seen through at all.
"Huh..." Hao Ren was surprised, and then wanted to let go of his hand, but the moment he let go, something happened suddenly.
The body of "God Slayer" suddenly melted like wax, and the golden-red gorgeous armor softened and flowed down, and quickly climbed up Hao Ren's arm. The latter was bewildered by the sudden change, he I hurriedly pulled away and tried to shake off the "foreign object" that was climbing up my body, but found that my movements were bound by something, and it was extremely difficult to even move my hands and feet.
He felt like he was staggering like drunk, and all the limbs of his body became useless and heavy, and in just a few short breaths, those flowing things like wax had covered his whole body ——He felt as if he couldn't breathe, and he couldn't make a sound. His whole body was wrapped in a thick shell, but this "shell" had already started to move.
He saw that "himself" was holding tightly the long sword of cosmic shards that emerged from the stars, and slowly raised it, just like the slow motion in the movie, the sword was slowly and firmly pierced into the creation world The chest of the goddess.
He desperately wanted to regain control of his body, wanted to stop the movements of his hands, but no matter how strong his willpower was, he couldn't reach the limbs that obviously no longer belonged to him. Only then did he realize that his efforts were futile.
He couldn't change what had been recorded in this illusion—and even if he did, it wouldn't make any sense.
This is just a record.
But the truth made him shudder.
The blood of the gods flowed along the blade, and some warm blood even splashed out and splashed on his hand. He saw "himself" let go of the hilt, so the blood of the gods flowed to the palm of his hand, where it remained A scorching mark.
And the figure shrouded in light in front of him also became clear.
All the brilliance was condensed and collected, and the original blurred figure became the image of Leah. She was wearing the long white dress when we first met, leaning on the golden disc behind the altar, and standing on the golden disc. Behind the plate is a palace that is constantly collapsing and a red ocean that is constantly rising.
The blood of the goddess of creation is flowing down the altar.
Hao Ren felt that the abnormal heaviness on his limbs and bones disappeared suddenly, and he regained control of his body. After a brief moment of daze, he suddenly rushed towards the direction where Leah fell.
Countless thoughts swirled crazily in his mind, and he felt that his mind seemed to be filled with paste, making it difficult to move. However, amidst the impact of this huge amount of information, he still maintained the last bit of clarity, Relying on this sobriety, he suppressed all negative emotions, supported Lia's upper body with his arms and checked her condition.
When he entered the illusion last time, he saw that the incident of killing gods was followed by the explosion of the founding star and the coming of divine punishment. However, in the illusion experienced this second time, something obviously changed— The big bang of the star did not happen, and the divine punishment did not seem to come. Except for the god-killing event itself, everything else seemed to be temporarily postponed.
In Hao Ren's current state, it is difficult to think about these minutiae. He only felt that Leah grasped his arm tightly. The pain made him even suspect that his bones were about to be pinched and broken.
Liya stared at him stubbornly, her eyes filled with tears: "It hurts so much!!"
(Happy New Year everyone~~)
