Chapter 724: Humanity is in ruins

"Sorry......"

As high as the peak of the mountain, the white-haired Shi Shengcun bowed his head to him in a serious tone.

The wind blew his gray hair, which also made the emotions in Cheng Lin's heart suddenly become chaotic.

"So, the so-called deduction is essentially that you pull me into one of the thousands of parallel universes." Cheng Lin asked.

"Yes."

"So, there are countless possibilities for those deduced worlds...... Well, or rather the future that has already happened. ”

"Yes."

"So, what I experienced in the deduction is also driven by you?"

"Some are, some don't."

"What about the reward? Deduction of reward ......"

"It's kind of a small compensation for me...... Well, in fact, due to the rules of time and space, I can't give you power directly, so I can only use some loopholes to give you some very limited help. ”

"Original...... That's right. Cheng Lin asked a few questions in a row, then raised his head and let out a sigh in front of him in the face of the vast and boundless world in front of him.

At this moment, he finally understood who the invisible hands behind the deduction were, and also realized who the "narrator" who talked to himself, issued tasks, and gave rewards.

He also realized the root cause of some of the confusion in the past, such as the origin of the He Sword, he used to be very puzzled, who threw down the original He Sword under the canyon of the Great Daozong Mountain Gate......

Who gave Edlaide and the High Priest of the Cataclysmic World "Destiny Revelation...... Why did I never delve into the idea of deducing the world, everything......

Now there is finally an answer.

However, he did not have the joy of solving the mystery.

Instead, it's even more confusing.

He looked deeply at the man in front of him, and finally asked the question he hadn't asked all along: "So, you...... Who the hell is it? ”

"You've probably guessed it." Shi Shengcun sighed softly.

"Are you the future him?" The person referred to in Cheng Lin's sentence is naturally the head of the department.

"Yes." Shi Shengcun nodded calmly.

Cheng Lin took a deep breath, and then asked, "So, what exactly do you want to do?" ”

What do you want to do?!

Cheng Lin's question was not loud, but it was extremely forceful, if the so-called deduction was just a means of this Shi Shengcun from the future, then, what did he want to do?

"I ......" Faced with his inquiry, the white-haired Shi Shengcun was speechless, his lips moved, and then he suddenly said, "You...... Want to see what the future looks like? ”

This sentence was very abrupt, but it made Cheng Lin's breath tight.

Future......

Future......

According to Shi Shengcun's previous statement on the "fate of the world", there are countless futures, but what he mentions at this moment obviously does not refer to the rest of the "tributaries", nor does it refer to the earth in other time and space.

Since he didn't specifically refer to it, the future in his mouth was the future of the world where Cheng Lin's consciousness was located.

"You ......" Cheng Lin opened his mouth, but found that his voice was a little hoarse.

He confessed that he was moved, and who could resist the temptation?

Shi Shengcun obviously understood his attitude, so he saw this man slowly raise his right hand, and his five fingers were spread out, swiping in the air in front of him.

Suddenly, outside of this square, the air suddenly distorted, fluctuated, and gradually, turned into one small picture after another, and then put together a whole, forming a huge picture scroll with the sky as paper!

It's like the one that once appeared in the projection!

Cheng Lin couldn't help but cast his gaze over, and in an instant, his eyes suddenly enlarged!

There was a strange scene in the scroll:

It was in a vast and boundless land, mountains and rivers, endless, clouds and snow, on the vast earth, vague corpses piled up like mountains, he could not see the appearance and signs of the corpse, but he was terrified by the number, the corpses almost covered the earth, piled up the peaks, dyed the rivers red, bloody air rose to the sky, reflected, the sky of snow seemed to turn red.

The world was dead silent, as if life had been cut off, all life had died, and in the vast continent, in the snow, there was only a lonely and lonely back! (Note)

"This ...... This is ......" Cheng Lin was startled, and his steps subconsciously took two steps back!

At this moment, the picture scroll moved even more, the blood-soaked earth and mountains suddenly shrank, and the angle of view expanded rapidly, as if the "lens" was rapidly zooming out.

So, Cheng Lin saw the barren landmass, the dark ocean, the lifeless, dark earth, until finally, there was only a lifeless planet in the picture scroll that was silently rotating.

"Boom!"

Silently, the picture shattered into countless fragments, and then turned into nothingness, and in the hilltop square, only Cheng Lin's rapid breathing and the white-haired Shi Shengcun's lonely eyes remained.

"This ...... This is...... Future? Cheng Lin felt his voice hoarse, he turned his head to look at Shi Shengcun, and emphasized, "It's me...... What is the future of the world line I am in? ”

"Sort of." The latter's voice was somewhat muffled in affirmation.

Cheng Lin didn't bother with the other party's words, he only felt chills all over his body, and felt cold all over his body for the dead and silent planet.

Yes, although he has already witnessed countless disasters in the deduction, and has known it, it is also a possibility of the future, which exists objectively.

But those universes, after all, are not where his ontological will is, parallel worlds are "parallel" after all, and Cheng Lin will not really worry too much about the life and death of the earth in another universe......

Can...... What if such a catastrophe happened to the Earth in which we lived? What about happening in "reality"?

Those casualties caused by projection are simply insignificant and not worth mentioning in comparison!

Fortunately, Cheng Lin had already experienced so much after all, although he was frightened, he still quickly calmed down, and then stared at Shi Shengcun, and said word by word:

"Could it be that my world will also suffer a catastrophe of the level of destruction in the future?"

Yes, since those disasters in the deduction exist on Earth in a parallel world.

So, how can the earth where he lives be spared?

"Yes." Facing Cheng Lin's inquiry, Shi Shengcun nodded calmly.

Once again, the mountaintop fell silent, dead silent.

After a while, Shi Shengcun finally spoke again, he seemed to laugh, and said:

"Yes, you guessed right, at the point in time you are currently in, it won't be long before they come."

"Who are they?"

"I don't know," Shi Shengcun shook his head frankly, "I only know that they are beings from other universes, other worlds, there are many of them, they are extremely powerful, and the world they live in will soon overlap with the world you live in, just like ...... Projection......

Oh, it's just that they are far from being the 'good' of life in those projections...... They were premeditated, probably using some kind of space-time domain ability to briefly invade our world......

Humanity tried to resist, but failed, and practitioners across the globe died at their hands.

And then, no one can stop them...... I'm the only one left......

In the end, when they finally left satisfied, I was the only one left on that desolate planet. ”

His voice grew deeper and deeper, and the language of his narration became more and more self-serving.

When he said the last sentence, the white-haired Shi Shengcun's face suddenly distorted, and some kind of struggle appeared.

But...... Maybe it had been too long, but he quickly calmed down, looked at Cheng Lin, who was already stunned, and said in a flat tone:

"That's the way it is."

Cheng Lin opened his mouth and took a full ten seconds to digest this amazing information:

"Invasion? It's like ...... Like that in the cartouche projection? ”

"Yes, that's probably it, but it's not the same."

Cheng Lin was silent again for a while before asking:

"You mean, in the future, everyone will die, and you will be the only one left alive...... I don't quite understand, since they are extremely powerful, then, how did you survive? ”

Hearing this, a smile suddenly appeared on the ordinary face of the white-haired Shi Shengcun, a sarcastic smile, he tore the corners of his mouth, his eyes were dark, and he said in a self-deprecating tone:

"Because...... I fled. ”

"Escape...... Finish? Cheng Lin asked incredulously.

"Yes, I ran away, isn't it ridiculous? As the strongest cultivator on earth at that time, I ran away and became a downright, selfish and despicable deserter.

At the moment of their arrival, I hid in a separate space that I had somehow carved out, well, similar to your spirit realm.

It's just that at that time, my mastery of spatial abilities was very poor, and I could only carve out an extremely small space where living creatures could live......

It's really small, like a wardrobe.

I hid in the closet when the global cultivators resisted them, and I hid in the closet when they began to plunder the life of the earth, and when they began to kill all of humanity, I ...... Or hiding in the cupboard......

I hid until the overlap of worlds ended, and the world they were in was far away from this universe, and I finally came out. ”

The white-haired Shi Shengcun's tone became faster and faster, as if he had fallen into a memory, but in the end, he suddenly calmed down and said flatly:

And then ...... That's what you just saw. ”

Cheng Lin listened in a daze, completely incredulous.

After all, whether it is in the plant overlord or the maelstrom deduction, Shi Shengcun's image can be called great, even if there are some flaws in it, but in his opinion, it is enough to be called a "hero".

But...... Who would have thought that he would run away?

At this moment, Cheng Lin's gaze subconsciously fell on the fountain pen inserted in the pocket of the white-haired Shi Shengcun in front of him, and the dense scratches on the cap of the fountain pen obscured the original handwriting, he remembered...... Those two words happen to be "heroes".

Cheng Lin opened his mouth and finally asked, "For...... What the? ”

"Because...... Long before they came, I had received a revelation from fate. ”

"Apocalypse?" Cheng Lin's heart trembled suddenly, he was now a little sensitive to the word "revelation".

"Yes," the white-haired Shi Shengcun said in a calm tone, "The revelation of fate from the starry sky tells me...... Humanity will be defeated! ”
