Chapter 12 See the Sages

"Joshua, what exactly do you want? Is it a battle? Is it hope? Or are you in love with this multiverse......"

As the infinite being gallops toward the end of the origin, countless prayers and thoughts for Him are heard.

"Joshua, is infinity your goal? Is eternity your purpose? If not, why were you born into this world? ”

Most of the prayers and thoughts are meaningless noises, rather than praying for salvation, it is better to set off now, the endless evil god is the tool of the future sage to collect all the 'memories' of this multiverse, and it is also a part of his essence, when all the sages go to the origin of the multiverse, everyone must rely on themselves to fight against the instinct of this 'part of the sage' body.

This is the advantage that the future sages will have to occupy at the beginning, and it is also the trial that the multiverse beings, including all the later sages, must face, no one can be spared, no one can avoid.

However, in the endless flood of information, the problem of his best friend Karlis cannot be avoided.

The reincarnation of the Steel Python, who is staring at the light and leaving, the 'path of light' imprinted in the void of the multiverse, she is the hero who awakens Joshua, the door to witness Joshua's initial awakening, and the key to open the final ending - the world of Karlis is the place where Joshua first realized the 'contradiction between order and chaos', and it is also the first world to do her best to save, and now, finally, she wants to know the true thoughts of the 'Joshua' who is now completely enlightened.

And the answer is actually exactly the same as what the man who lit the fire in the center of the barren and dead world 120,000 years ago had in his heart.

- Love?

- Hope?

- Infinite, possible, eternal?

My dear friends, just as you see 'battle' as a 'means' to pursue 'love' and 'hope', 'infinity' and 'eternity'. What I have done is nothing more than to use 'infinity' and 'eternity', 'hope' and 'courage' as weapons to 'fight'.

[I am the dividing point between yin and yang, the dividing point between light and darkness. 】

[I am the opposite of good and evil, the conflict between life and death. 】

[I am a miracle hostile to the future that governs fate, and I am a destruction hostile to the being who is controlled by man. 】

[What I want is to fight against the ordinary, everything that is extraordinary - what I want is to fight with the unforeseeable future, the fate of fate, so I need the infinite and the eternal, the courage and hope, and the ...... My 'path'. 】

[I am Joshua van Radcliffe, O all beings, if I cannot get rid of the eternal contradictions, then I am all strife. 】

The infinite flames sped along the light of the demon tide towards the end of the origin, and he crossed the distance that all the near saints had exhausted the 'infinite' time, and the warrior passed through the surging tide of endless energy, extending his own power into the final battlefield within the true scope of the light of the initial fire.

He came to the periphery of the Primordial Fire, which was moving away from the beings of the multiverse.

And at the first moment, Joshua found out.

At the edge of that battlefield, there were three 'stars' that were endlessly bright, endlessly shining, and infinitely gushing out.

But they are all extinguished and will never return.

【Seeing the Magic】

You can see, the wreckage of the fall.

It was a cluster of iridescent light that was shining with all colors, more complex than the most complex rainbow, but in the center of this cluster of light was a pure incandescent white—it was the most powerful 'jet' in this multiverse, and that incomparably complex and blurred rainbow aura was its event horizon, but all matter could only leave it, not enter it.

He only gives, but never takes, He only gives, but does not receive anything in return, and He gives 'infinite magic' to the entire multiverse without reservation or selfishness.

He is the corpse of the Demon Sage, and one of the sources of infinity, the origin of the 'Demon Tide'. A real, 'Big Bang' infinite singularity.

His power runs through the infinite world, and all the heavens and stars are blessed by it, and his power pierces the vast distance between the Primordial Fire and the multiplicity of galaxies, linking the two ends that would otherwise be separated, and becoming the first path and signpost for all who come after him.

Infinite flames passed over Him, and the warriors paid their respects.

【Seeing Life】

You can see, the wreckage of the fall.

It is a galaxy like a world, like a multi-galaxy, a spiral galaxy composed of countless worlds that are self-born and self-destructive, and the infinite world within this galaxy repeats destruction and regeneration, the cycle repeats, without beginning and end—but there are incomparably huge fluctuations that spread from him, sweeping across the entire multiverse, and all the remaining free matter in the multiverse is invisibly affected by this fluctuation and gradually resonates into his form.

He influences all worlds, maintains the cycle, and He regenerates many galaxies that should have been annihilated long ago, and His power is the source of the many multi-galaxies and world-stellar galaxies that exist in the existing multiverse, and the near-eternal self-cycle.

He is the corpse of the Sage of Life, one of the sources of infinity, the origin of the 'existing order of all worlds'. A 'first-class perpetual motion machine' that can be infinitely recycled, infinitely reborn, and infinitely sustained.

His power created the endless world, through whom all the heavens were made, and his power reversed the increase in entropy, reborn destruction, and filled the void with infinite negative entropy, which would have been enough to gradually reshape the entire broken multiverse without chaos, but even if it did not succeed, He was the creator of all existing life.

Infinite flames passed over Him, and the warriors admired him.

【Seeing the Soul】

You can see, the wreckage of the fall.

It was the remains of a huge Psitronic Orthodrotium, it seemed to be dead, but the 'Spiritual' brain was still functioning, and the silver-blue light was shining in the infinitely complex structure of the mind, resonating with all the 'souls' in the multiverse, reflecting each other - it seemed as if he had done nothing, left nothing, but that was the most important thing.

He influences the multiverse, interfering with the spread and coverage of chaos, and he makes it difficult for individuals of all civilizations to be eroded by chaos after generating souls and giving birth to steel pythons, and then giving birth to 'dead eternity'.

He is the corpse of the Psionic Sage and one of the sources of Infinity, the embodiment of the 'Algorithm of Resistance to Chaos'. He defines what order is, what soul is, what wisdom is, and He created the soul but cut it off from His creation, giving all true spirits 'immortality' and 'independence'.

He counteracted Chaos' memory ability and created the first firewall for all beings in all worlds, so that even if civilization was destroyed, if the evil god incarnated by Chaos was not around, it would not have time to record and transform, which reduced nearly 100% of the source of evil gods in the multiverse, sealed the best means of the future sage, and created the first opportunity for all those who came after him.

Infinite flames passed over Him, and the warriors were grateful.

By now, Joshua understood it very clearly.

[The passing of all sages is a self-choice. 】

Even if a future sage who was born at the beginning, had the advantage of time, and knew the advanced means and methods of the latecomers, and occupied all the advantages of the first hand, it would be impossible for him to quickly defeat or completely destroy another sage until his record progress reached 100% and he became a true [Pan-multi-faceted Mayfly].

He was only forcing another sage to admit his defeat—and as long as the sage himself admitted his defeat, there would be no possibility of a restart, even in an infinite parallel universe...... And perhaps in order to leave the hope of victory for those who come after them, to leave a foundation for reshaping the multiverse, and to set an eternal beacon for all living beings, the three sages chose to admit their defeat.

Then, in this way, it turned into three infinite bright, infinitely overflowing 'stars' suspended around the Initial Fire, three infinite entities that even future sages would not be able to destroy.

They were indeed defeated - the three initial sages admitted that they could not defeat the Future, so they chose to devote everything they had to the creation of new Afterlife, the Future against the Future.

And the Future Sage is willing to do the same - it is better to give both sides a 'possibility' than to fight an eternal confrontation in which neither side will ever achieve their goal and interfere with the progress of his memory of the information of the entire multiverse.

And his chances of success are far greater than all the others combined—in other words, it is simply impossible to defeat him in this multiverse in which he already has absolute dominance.

[So, a miracle is needed.] 】

- Is a miracle a 'possibility' that is unreasonable, defying logic, and completely devoid of any rationality?

No, that's not a miracle. Rather, if this happens, it means 'total domination.' This would never have happened if it had not been for complete domination of the entire multiverse.

Perhaps, miracles do have the implication of 'countless variables superimposed, creating impossible possibilities', but where does the infinite superposition of variables come from?

Is their birth itself a miracle?

No...... Of course not. That's something that can only be conceived by countless 'foreshadowing', countless 'sacrifices', and countless 'inheritances'.

Just like the three sages who died. It is 'impossible' for ordinary beings to resist the power of the future sages, but the continuous sacrifice, dedication and inheritance of the three sages have made the beings of this multiverse have the most basic resistance to chaos, and the most basic chassis - 'impossible' has been reversed in this process, and a glimmer of life has appeared.

And Joshua incarnated for this.

[Miracle is something extraordinary, something extraordinary, something that is difficult to do, something beyond everyone's expectations]

[It's like, in a world where there is no transcendence, there is transcendence]

[It's like, a world without transcendence, the will to fight, descended on a world full of transcendental, with countless battles]

- Karlis, I don't need the meaning of fighting, and I don't need to be some kind of 'war', 'battle' or 'strife' sage.

- Only those who desire something will want something and create something, and in the same way, only those who have not yet become 'something' and who still lack something will want to become 'something'.

- I don't need to crave the strength to fight.

[Because, I, am fighting]

[And now, I choose ......]

【Become a Miracle】

- I came from another multiverse or an unknown world, and came to this world full of battles - if this is not a miracle, then what is a miracle?

The infinite flames continued to gallop, and the warriors thundered, stirring up violent waves in the light of the initial fire.

- Everything is progressing because of struggle, striving to be the first because of competition, I am the embodiment of this spirit, this instinct, and at the same time, I am also a miracle beyond the self, I am beyond this multiverse, the only and irreproducible possibility now!

【Seeing the Shadows】

I can see it, and the churning shadows.

In the initial light, a shadow was lurking and fluctuating, the light from the infinite parallel world penetrating him, but also eroded by him, and the huge silhouette demon sensed the speeding flames, and he laughed.

[You have finally arrived, my latecomer, my friend, you have been late for a long time, but you have surpassed yourself, beyond the battle, this is really ......]

[It's like a 'miracle.'] 】

The shadows that hook up the infinite seem to be fighting against something, and at the origin of the multiverse today, the infinite beings are fighting, and their wars span the infinite realm, fighting each other from every angle of time and space, canceling each other out and obliterating each other.

The flaming flames passed over Him and smiled.

【Visible Elements】

Visible, condensed crystals.

In the initial light, a huge crystalline of countless elements condensed was rising and falling in the dark mist, and it seemed that he was being dragged into the worst possibility of the infinite parallel world, but it was rooted in the endless parallel world, and all connections were connected. The crystallized life noticed the speeding flames, and he sighed.

[It's really amazing, twice to become a sage, both times it was so natural, when I saw you, I felt that these countless years of confrontation were not meaningless. 】

[Go ahead, we have joined forces to drag the future, but we are still slightly inferior, and we must not let Him succeed!] 】

In the distant vicinity of the Primordial Fire, a large shadow can be faintly seen—the infinitely large, infinitely expanding source of light, the foundation of the birth of the multiverse, seems to be wrapped in an incomparably huge fog, the 'Infinite Ring' project that the primitive civilizations did not succeed in the past seems to be on the verge of success at this moment, even far more successful than they imagined!

The burning flame passed over Him and proved the will.

【See the Ether】

You can see it, an invisible vortex.

In the initial light, the countless invisible 'field life' was being blown by a violent wind that swept through the infinite parallel worlds, and it seemed to want to blow away the structure of this life, crush it, shatter it, and then scatter it in the most dead and impossible scorched earth domain of all parallel worlds, but it followed this wind that ran through infinite time and space, through billions of worlds, and did not change a bit. The field of life noticed the speeding flames, and he was relieved.

[Although I don't really understand the meaning of battle, or even why this multiverse has become such a terrible state, I do know that fighting, and overcoming the future, is the only way to bring peace back to all.] 】

[Don't worry about us, since we can hold out for countless years, we can naturally continue to fight against Him for countless years—the miracle of eternal battle, let us work together to end this ring of sorrow that runs throughout!] 】

The colossal fog is an innumerable mayfly, which surrounds the initial fire, remembering all the information and possibilities that emanate from it, they spread chaos, impregnating all creation with their existence, they construct eternal death, to remember eternally, to dominate the infinite future with infinite power.

The burning flame passed over Him and showed determination.

- And then, finally, finally.

The flame came to the place closest to the initial fire, and the light that was directly entangled with the endless mayflies, with 'Him', and with 'the future'.

[Finally...... See, Light]

You can see that it is like the initial fire, warm, soft, as if giving birth to everything and embracing everything.

The humanoid form of this light was full of holes, and it seemed to have been battered again and again, but it never took a step back, but again and again defeated the intent of the infinite mayfly swarm to completely envelop the initial fire—and at the same time, the light continued to advance as much as possible, as if it wanted to break through the blockades, the countless obstacles, and then fully merge itself into the 'initial fire'. And at this moment, the holy and radiant humanoid noticed the speeding flames, and he stared at the warrior before smiling.

【Quick ...... My fellow Daoists, my inheritors, the one who can finally stand by my side, Joshua van Radcliffe, the sage of miracles...... Help me break through the blockade of the future and send me into the Initial Flame! 】

[Using me as a sacrifice, a sage who is most similar to the Initial Fire, can slightly change the nature of the Initial Fire, reshape the foundation of the multiverse, and make all the actions of the 'future' completely in vain, and all plans will come to naught!] 】

[In this way, it can also make the 'future' wake up, simple 'memory' is meaningless at all, only 'memory' and 'love' are the true meaning of existence!] 】

The will of the glorious human form is full of great enlightenment and determination. There has never been a life that can truly love all beings in the multiverse and want to help all things in the multiverse like He does—even for the 'future sage' who wants to remember and dominate all things in the multiverse, He has hope.

The flames burned, silent, facing the sage who had been chasing, the pure white back engraved in the hearts of all human beings, the warrior wanted to say a lot of things, wanted to state a lot of things.

But in the end, in the face of the sage's request, the burning flames shook and seemed to be shaking their heads.

- He still said the answer that he liked the most and used the most.

"Nope."

Joshua smiled slowly, and the warrior's face was extremely resolute.

"I refuse."
