The year 22054 in the galactic calendar, the year 543 in the last calendar.

In the midst of the lush jungle, in the center of the clearing, there is only a wooden house, in front of which a group of ancient warriors with weapons in their hands and several men and women in spacesuits face off nervously. No one dared to let their guard down, the weapons in the hands of these strange wizards were particularly dangerous in the eyes of the ancient warriors, and in the eyes of the interstellar humans, this group of powerful monsters was probably no less dangerous than the genetic warriors.

"What should I do, eldest sister, it's been a long time since the eldest brother went in, and he hasn't moved, or ......"

Among the several men and women, one of them whispered to the girl in the lead.

The girl at the head pursed her lips and said before entering the wooden house, she said to reassure her, yes, who can threaten a psionic warrior, but for the truth of the Serpent Father, what has happened since she came to this strange world has made her dare not fully believe it.

In this wild world of gods, mages, and monsters, psionic warriors are not invincible, they only escaped from the hands of a forest goddess before, if it weren't for Mo Luogara barely delaying the forest goddess, I'm afraid a few people would not survive.

And according to the clues found during this time, the owner of this wooden house, the white-bearded old man, seems to know something.

This is an extremely ancient and mysterious sorcerer among the local population, and it is said that his wisdom even surpasses that of the gods, and some young gods will come to him for wisdom.

After going through a lot of hardships and dangers, and after a big battle with the guards, Morogara was finally recognized as being able to meet the old man with the white beard, but strangely, Morogara seemed to have a premonition of something, and she could feel that he seemed to have some kind of guess in his mind.

"Don't worry, it's okay. ”

In front of the wooden house, Morogala just looked at her and spoke calmly.

Looking at the wooden house, the simple and ancient appearance blocked all attempts to snoop on.

......

And in the wooden house, the man with a calm bearing stared at the old man in front of him, the old man could not see how old he was, only that his face was extremely old, but only those white hair and white beards that had grown so long that they were dragged on the ground and rolled up in a ball, and even half buried his own body, proved how old the years he had lived.

It seemed as if he hadn't moved for so long that his slow-growing hair was already wrapped around his hands and feet, and how many years had to sit here to do so.

Nobody knows.

"I never thought you would say goodbye like this...... Duu. ”

After a long silence, the man spoke.

Among the information he found, about a hundred years after he lost contact, the Second Republic organized several more expeditions, and Duwu lost contact during one of them, and was considered dead by the Second Republic.

And now, the man who should have died has appeared here.

The old man's reaction seemed to be a little sluggish, he seemed to open his eyes unconsciously, and saw that the man in front of him didn't have any special reaction, just blinked slightly, as if he was remembering something, and then said in a hoarse and weird voice.

"I never thought you and I would see each other again, Morogara. ”

"Is it a hallucination...... Or is it a dream...... It's been a long time, it's been a long time...... But I don't know why, but it seems that the goodbye to you is just yesterday, as if the things we learned from the masters have only happened recently. ”

The old man spoke to himself, and then was silent for a while.

Even when he saw the old man he hadn't seen for a long, long time, the old man didn't show any special emotional ups and downs, just quietly recalled, closed his eyes, and then talked to himself.

"Morakara...... I don't know what I'm going to do now, can you tell me. Should I be happy? I should be happy, I've dreamed of you so many times in my dreams, but why am I so quiet......"

There was confusion and confusion in the old man's voice, and this old man, whose wisdom surpassed that of the gods, was as overwhelmed as a newborn baby at the moment.

The man looked at the old man in front of him, and he was silent.

Every psionic warrior has been specially modified, and everyone's lifespan is very long, and it is not surprising that the lifespan is more than thirty or forty thousand years, but now in the sight of men, this former junior brother is so old that he is not decent, let alone a psionic warrior, even the most ordinary interstellar human is inferior.

The muscles that can twist the space materials have atrophied, and the bones that dot the psionic circuits have lost their divine brilliance and dimmed, so that they are also short in stature. And in psionic perception, the soul that should be as bright as the sun and the moon is also mottled, muddy and dim.

Every psychic can clearly feel the brilliance of others' hearts, as well as their own spirits, which is the most basic instinct. And now the old man has lost even his ability to perceive his feelings, and he is not as good as even the most ordinary mortal.

From the body to the mind, the smell of decay and decay permeates every corner of the elderly.

The demigods who walked in the starry sky have aged like this at the moment.

"Duwu, what happened after you lost contact that year. ”

The man didn't have much sentimentality, just asked.

In any case, he came to complete his own investigation that year.

The old man lowered his head, lost in his memory, and spoke after a while.

"It happened...... Many, many things. ”

"Where to start...... Let's start with my arrival in this universe. That year I was ordered to explore the eyes of the great serpent, and when I approached the eyes of the great snake, I found that I had passed through its pupils and then fell into this universe, the world in the belly of this great snake. ”

The old man recalled, and then said slowly.

"No one expected that General Tilloan was actually seeing the world in the belly of the serpent, and through its eyes, he could come to this new universe. In the eyes of the great serpent, there is a cosmic ......"

Morogaro frowned.

"Wait, you're talking about the universe?"

In the interstellar age, the universe and the world have been divided into two meanings, the planet and the universe can be called the world, while the universe refers to only one.

The old man didn't speak, but just raised his eyebrows and looked at Morogara.

"Haven't you discovered yet, Morogara, this is already a whole new universe, a universe without particles, a universe of ruins. ”

"When we enter this new universe, you and I have been replaced by something else, although we are still flesh and blood, but we are no longer particle flesh and blood, even if we magnify billions of times, it is still flesh and blood, we can't see those particles anymore...... It took me many years to realize this. ”

The corners of the old man's mouth twitched, as if he wanted to laugh, laughing at himself back then, but he still calmed down.

"Do you know how many years I've been living here, thirty-five thousand years, and I'm coming to the end of my life, and only two thousand years have passed in the outside world. ”

"I've been here for many years, and I vaguely understand what the nature of the serpent is...... It is a monster that feeds on the world, it is older than our universe, it existed long before our universe was born, this universe in the belly is the wreckage of the universe it swallowed, and its ultimate goal is not just to eat a black hole, but to swallow the entire universe into its belly. ”

"Remember, before we explored, the Second Republic had tried so many times, even harming its scales and flesh. But in the end, it didn't work. ”

"Antimatter, strange matter, space-time, why do these things only hurt it once at most, and then it doesn't work? Because the serpent is just its appearance, what's the point of damaging its cloak?"

"The monster that feeds on the world is the dragon that devours the world. ”

......

The two demigods talked a lot, and after a long time, Morogaro came out of the hut and the girl greeted him.

"Are you alright?"

Looking at the worried gaze, Morogara shook his head, and then, suddenly, he said in a loud voice.

"Can we win?"

The girl's face was full of uncertainties and question marks, and in the wooden house behind her, the old man was silent for a long time and whispered something.

The sound was small, but Morogala had heard it.

"Let's go. ”

When everyone walked away, the beard crawled all over the body, and the old man lowered his head, closed his eyes, and said silently to his former brother.

"Big brother, take care. ”

The old man just hung his head and didn't lift it up again.

Duu, death.

......

"Man can be destroyed, but not defeated. ”
