Chapter 536: Old Man, I Have Something to Say (2)
Whose voice it was, as if it sounded out of nothingness: "Bakar, watch carefully! This is what you looked like before you died." β
I shuddered. There's no evidence that it's meβit's just an ordinary dragon.
But in the entire Demon Realm, I am indeed the only one who is a dragon. Aside from me, Luke probably doesn't know any other dragons in this universe. Besides, am I not the king of dragons? If I had to use a dragon to represent anyone, it would probably be me.
And that's not all. Around the dragon burned by the fire, there are three other dead creatures:
One of them is dying in some vague, ill-seeing cavern......
The other, with many legs, was crushed in the collapsed pile of rocks, dying......
The last one, with a long protruding mouth, and walks on four legs. This guy's body is scattered and is being sucked into another dimension......
Again, I was shocked, because I recognized the appearance of these creatures. Here are a few more apostles...... This picture seems to depict the moment when they were dying...... Could it be that the old man is a prophet......? He's just a delirious lunatic.
I don't want to admit it, but at that moment I couldn't think properly, maybe I was crazy. It was as if I saw the sky filled with hundreds of Luke's huge faces, each one hideous. Even more unexpectedly, he was speaking to me: "Since you want to see it so much, I'll let you see it now...... But can you afford this?"
This arrogant tone completely infuriated me. When was I scared of the Dragon King? Hmph, do you think this kind of pretending to be a ghost can scare me?
But on closer inspection, this may not be a prophecy, but a warning to me. Could this be the purpose of Herder bringing us so-called "apostles" to the demon realm?
I'll have to go to Luke and ask for clarification.
But after calming down and thinking about it, I still feel like it's over. For that old man, he will definitely pretend to be deaf and dumb again. "Dumb" should be the best identity for him to shirk responsibility and avoid problems. Perhaps, he has been pretending to be a dumb ......
But even if that's the case, I can't do anything about him. Anyway, in the end, you still have to solve these strange mysteries on your own......
I figured I'd have to figure out what the Demon Realm is first.
But it's a pity that there are too few existing information on the Demon Realm, and it is quite difficult to investigate. Still, I tried to collect as much as I could, even the oldest libraries a few times. In addition, I also asked other people about the legends of the Demon Realm, and selected the parts that I thought were valuable, and compiled and excerpted them......
Of course, on Old Man Luke's side, I didn't give up completely. He would still provide electricity to the Demon Realm sometimes, and at that point, I would fly over to the buildings to see if there were any new images, and write them all down. The first grab
All the images projected by Luke are subject to the fate of the apostles, especially their deaths.
Sometimes the main characters of the picture are guys I've never met before. I thought they might be the apostles who hadn't come here yet, but quickly dismissed my own speculation. For, as far as I know, Herder has long since ceased his travels in search of the apostles.
I noticed that in all the images, one after the other apostles died, except for two - Herder and Karn. Did they, unlike the other apostles, escape death, or did Luke fail to predict their future?
With these questions in mind, I have been in the Demon Realm for decades before I know it.
Over the years, Luke continued to build things, but slowly. And I still like to fly over the Demon Realm in my free time, while silently waiting for the moment when the electricity will be activated.
Soon, the lights of the Demon Realm came on again. And this time, an unusual picture emerged. I stopped at the empty roof and carefully examined the building below. "This should be the last image......"
The image has nothing to do with the apostle's death, but presents an expansive scene: a man and a woman stand side by side, looking down on a glorious world. I'm not entirely sure who the man and woman are, but since Kahn and Herder never appeared, I deduce that the man and woman in the image are supposed to be them.
This was what I expected, so I just sneered.
Connect the images of the past and the present, and slowly recall and organize them in your mind. I'm becoming more and more convinced that Herder's ultimate goal should be to "rebuild Terra". Among the ancient texts and legends of the Demon Realm that I have collected, I have seen or heard about the "Destroyed Terra Civilization" countless times. Now that the suspicions are linked, Herder's attempt to revive Terra's glory is almost exposed. And the prerequisite for this is the sacrifice of the apostles and the destruction of the whole world. Because only perdition can be reborn!
In ancient times, Terra handed down an ancient book called the Book of Genesis, which I studied when I was researching the information. It describes the destruction of the planet Terra and the process of its reconstruction. Most of the book has been lost, but some chapters have been preserved:
- Sacrifice is sacred, but we can't bring each other to ruin......
- All trials are for the sake of forging souls. Only a sharpened blade can pierce our hearts and make our souls great......
At the beginning of all things, the world was empty and chaotic, and the abyss was dark. The light that slowly emerges from the void gives new life to the darkness. Destruction is creation, and annihilation is gestation. We are here to be the glory of this world, and a new world will be born......
According to Terra historians, the "we" mentioned in the ancient books refers to the "gods who created Terra". So the above can be interpreted as follows: the ancient gods of Terra recreated Terra at the cost of self-sacrifice and the destruction of the world.
Herder may have thought of himself and Karn as the glorious gods who had opened up a new world. And all the other apostles, like the ancient "gods of Terra", should sacrifice their lives in exchange for the resurrection of that damn Terra......
I felt something gushing inside me. Yes, I have finally solved this mystery that has puzzled me for years.
I don't care about the end of the world, or the life or death of the other apostles. In fact, if it weren't for my own fate, I wouldn't care about the success or failure of Herder's plan.
