Todd shook his head helplessly: "You and Leviathan, pinning the problem of hundreds of millions of years of the Chosen War on an ordinary person from another world, do you think this kind of thinking is okay?"

"I never thought you were an ordinary person. Skaha's eyes were full of hope as he looked at Todd: "The world you come from, although you can only know a little from your memory, is in many ways exactly what this world lacks. ”

"From the creation of the world to the present, this world has been in war and chaos to this day. The victors of the Chosen One I have seen are all thinking about their own interests...... Plundering more wealth, expanding their followers, occupying more resources, there has never been a victor, from the perspective of this world, think about what the future will look like?"

"As their knowledge and power increase, the creatures have mastered more and more advanced technology, but they are being used to make the world go to extinction faster......"

Skaha looked at Todd and said, "The increase in strength is simple, I only need to change your body, but the change of human nature is not possible, because I can't shake your soul...... So, by now you should understand that a deity who can abandon self-interest and balance the race is the most important factor in racial preference. ”

Todd sighed: "Even if you say so much, I still can't believe that I am the person you say I am, I am just protecting everything I care about according to my own will......"

Skaha followed Todd's words and added, "But, almost no one can do that. ”

Todd thought for a moment and changed the subject: "There is another problem, even if you agree that I am the best candidate, I still need to defeat the other candidates in order to finally win the battle of the Chosen One. You mean, you and the Leviathan might be able to help me?"

"No, we can't. ”

Skaha shook his head vigorously: "As the first creations of the Crystal Lodge, the Precursors, Leviathan and I are tasked with overseeing this world, and we are forbidden to use any abilities to influence this world, which is contrary to the original purpose of our creation......"

Seeing Todd's disappointed expression, Skaha changed his words: "Although we can't directly interfere in the battle of the Chosen One, we can use training and teaching to nurture candidates and increase their probability of winning. ”

"Leviathan and I have long ago made a mutual agreement to test those who we think are qualified candidates in the name of trials in the Land of Shadows. The first two trials were examined by me, and I was responsible for examining the character and courage of the visitors. Skaha pointed to the temple's underground, "And the final trial of fate is in charge of Leviathan, which is responsible for checking humanity's tolerance for aliens. ”

"Only those who have passed the three trials will Leviathan and I recommend him to Jingsu as a candidate for the Battle of the Chosen One. ”

Hearing this, Todd had some doubts: "If I remember correctly, I met Jingsu in the ruins of the North Island and became a candidate. ”

"In addition to the recommendations of the forerunners, it is possible to get the favor of Jingsu by touching the Beacon Tower, or performing well in the world. Skaha cast his gaze to the bottom of the temple, where Meredith sat on a broken stone pillar and played a flute: "However, there are also people who, after qualifying for the Chosen War, voluntarily gave up this opportunity. ”

"She, Meredith, voluntarily gave up the chance to fight the Chosen One?"

Skaha retracted her gaze: "Meredith is a smart human, but her experiences and personality determine that she hates this kind of fighting and fighting. ”

After a moment of silence, Skaha looked at Todd: "I've told you the whole story. Now, it's time for you to decide, are you willing to fulfill my and Leviathan's long-cherished wish?"

The latter let out a long breath: "I have not come here to fulfill your long-cherished wish, but to gain strength and protect everything that exists. ”

Skaha nodded, "Although the purpose of the two is different, the result is the same. In order for you to be able to protect the balance of the race, we will assist you...... First of all, you have to learn how to strengthen your soul ......"

The Temple of the True God, the headquarters of the Presbyterian Church.

Dressed in a batik-printed beaded gown, Rachel sat by the river in a canyon and watched the glacier melt snow.

Sabrina stood on the rock, looking around vigilantly, not daring to be careless for a moment.

Rachel glanced at her and said softly, "Sit down, you're safe now." ”

Sabrina glanced at Rachel, "I'm in the most dangerous place in the world right now, and you actually tell me it's safe? I ask you, is Elder Eliad really willing to provide us with shelter?"

Rachel looked at the two masked servants standing not far away, "He is willing to send his men to guard us, and he has also issued an order to the Presbyterians not to harm us, what else do you want?"

"I admit that Eliad's men are strong, but Eleanor is not a good person......" Sabrina tilted her head and stared at Richer and said, "Do you really think that Elder Eliade will offend Eleanor for you?"

Rachel looked impatient with the explanation: "If you're scared, you can get out of here now." ”

"Radical method, little girl, this trick is useless to me. Sabrina said amusedly, "Remember what I said to you?Fear is a virtue, and only fear can be learned first......

Rachel followed, "...... to learn to survive. ”

Sabrina blinked in surprise: "It's really rare that you can still remember my words from the past." ”

Richer lowered her head, looked at the leaves floating in the river, and said softly, "Those days were the most memorable time for me, how could I forget? Mia and I were young at the time, and we couldn't find any friends of the right age in the Presbyterian Church......

Sabrina sat down beside Richer and reminisced about the past: "As a result, you two silly girls found me, and insisted that I be your friend. I have told you more than once that I only look young, but my actual age can be your grandmother. ”

Rachel shrugged, "At that time, we just didn't believe it, we just thought you wanted to be the eldest sister of the three of us. ”

A rare smile appeared on Sabrina's face: "In order to make me sisters, you and Mia will bring me food from time to time, and you will also give me beloved toys ......"

Rachel rested her chin on her knee: "Sometimes I think it would be nice if I could stay in one day." Wake up in the morning knowing that today is yesterday, and go to bed at night knowing that tomorrow will repeat today. Wouldn't this kind of life be simpler? Wouldn't this kind of life be better?"

Sabrina closed her eyes silently and let out a sigh.
