Chapter 16: The World of Passing the Torch and Suspected Partners

(PS: The third update, I apologize again to the friends who have been waiting for a long time, please taste the third update recently, thank you to all the friends who have supported)

Wu Ming learned some about this world from these two children.

This is a world where light has died, and in this world, the only source of light is an existence called the Salary King.

It is said that this world had sunlight a long time ago, and at that time there were several gods in this world, as well as multiple races of gods and goddesses, and the supreme god of this world was the sun god, who provided the first light for the whole world, and from this, ordinary beings other than dependents were able to evolve.

All this until one day, the sky fell apart, the gods participated in the battle outside the sky, all fell, even the sun god fell, there was no light in this world anymore, in a darkness, the first horror was born, this horror came inexplicably, the creatures in this horror will gradually go crazy to kill, but they can't die, they will be resurrected when they die, but every death will cause their souls and memories to be missing, until finally become a blank twisted monster, these creatures are called undead.

At that time, the whole world fell into a desperate situation, until the strongest few strong people, they found that they could use their souls, strength, and consciousness to turn into flames, and use this flame to illuminate the world, and the world had light again, but the whole world had inevitably slipped into the abyss, sooner or later, it would eventually perish.

This is almost the consensus of all living beings in this world, even if these two children know it, but even so, the living beings can not survive and still make them yearn for light, light can drive away terror and distortion, can avoid being cursed as undead, and at the same time can grow food, can provide temperature, light, in this world is everything, the most respected in this world is the salary passer and the salary king.

“...... I see. ”

After Wu Ming listened to the general situation of this world, he muttered secretly, probably having some understanding of this world.

This world is a plane world that existed in the Hongmeng era, and it may even be a multi-plane collection type, and multiple gods may refer to the innate demon gods at that time, and the gods conquered the sky, and then fell, it is likely that these innate demon gods were killed by the world, and then the plane lost its light, and at the same time, the whole world was distorted and chaoticized by memes, and it slipped into the turbulence of time and space, and it did not feel the result of the world dividing the world into heaven and earth, and dividing the Xuanhuang.

In other words, for the creatures of this world, light is not something that is innate, in fact, according to Illuvita, before the world was divided into Xuanhuang, light was a rare thing in the entire multiverse, and there was never a natural light in that era, either given by the innate demon gods, or there was occasional light in various strange environments.

Therefore, in the eyes of these two children, Wu Ming is the salary king, the most important, noble, and tragic hero in this world.

The kings of this world are those who burn themselves, and they will turn everything in themselves, from the body, to the soul, to the consciousness, to the will, to the power, everything into firewood to ignite the flames, burst out with light, and use this light to bring life and hope, and continue the desperate end of this world.

This burning is not eternal and permanent, but a continuous consumption, once the Salary King consumes himself, then the Salary King will be completely transformed from the light, justice, and great side to the cold, evil, immortal, and twisted horror side, they will become the most powerful minions and servants of the darkness, and in turn extinguish all the light and flames, the stronger the original Salary King, the stronger the monster will be, the world ...... It's really just a matter of catching your breath.

"I see. Wu Ming thought about it seriously, then made a gesture similar to that of the ancients holding his fists, and said to the hopeful young man: "It's hopeless, wait for death, and take your leave." ”

After Bian Que three times, Wu Ming turned around and was about to leave here, but he didn't want to, the girl cried loudly, she pounced on Wu Ming's clothes and grabbed the corner of Wu Ming's clothes, crying and howling: "Lord Salary, save everyone, save us, the town is gone, everyone is hiding in the hole, relying on the last embers to light up the last light, the little sister hasn't eaten anything for a long time, she is so thin that I don't dare to hug her, and Uncle Milian was starved to death, and Aunt Anxuena, and ......"

The little boy was also trembling, tears kept rolling in his eyes, he lowered his head and said, "Lord Salary, I know you must want to go to those big cities and save more people, ......right?" We also want to be able to see the light, even a little bit of light, and the people in our town, even the ten-year-old children, need to come out and search and fight, looking for any soul core that can be found to be used as firewood for the embers, and even, once the embers are about to burn out, we must choose someone to jump into them......"

"Please save us, Lord Salaryman. ”

The little boy fell to his knees and kept kowtowing to Wu Ming.

Wu Ming scratched his head and said: "It's not that I don't want to save it, let me put it this way, this world is dead, and now this is just the last residual warmth after its corpse decays, I can't save a world, no existence can, at least I said that the existence I know can't do it, it's okay to provide light, I can provide light, but what about after that?"

"So my advice is, it's okay to leave this world, it's the only way. ”

“...... Leave this world, no kidding!"

At this moment, a man who was dark, his skin was full of cracks, and even something that seemed to be not skin, but something like a mixture of metal and earth, such a man walked out of the darkness, and he looked directly at Wu Mingdao: "...... You are not a salaryman, you have no firewood on you...... So why are you able to shine light? Who are you?"

The two young girls also looked at Wu Ming, and Wu Ming said inexplicably: "I never said what kind of salary king I am, and why should I use firewood to burn myself, is there something wrong with me? ”

Wu Ming was about to move forward again, and the human whose body had obviously begun to mutate suddenly said: "The fire is a spirit, a spirit that dedicates to the light and hope, igniting oneself and illuminating others, and only those who have this spirit can become a new generation of salary kings...... I see, you're an outsider who broke through the boundary, right? You've fallen from above, so you don't understand the importance of the fire and the light, so you guess you're going to say the ignorant words of leaving this world......"

Wu Ming looked at the man with interest and said, "I am indeed from another world, you say ignorance is what it means?"

The man pointed to the sky and the ground and said: "Whatever is depraved will slide more and more into the abyss of terror, and whatever is complete and sublimated will inevitably go to the 'above' light, and there is actually hope in our world, that is, upward promotion, as long as there can be a new salary king, we will have hope again......"

Wu Ming pursed his lips, he knew what this meant, the space-time turbulence is the last digestive organ of the multiverse, the more missing, the more distorted, the more incomplete it is, the faster it will be digested, but if there is a plane or something else that begins to make up for itself, there is indeed hope to leave the space-time turbulence, but this is impossible to achieve at all, at least Wu Ming did not find any records in the Flood Desolate Heavenly Court.

But this time he didn't leave there, he suddenly thought of a question, he is not familiar with this world, the most important thing now is to find Illuvita and them first, otherwise they may encounter the danger of this world being distorted, and with the sight barrier, the efficiency of his search is too low and too low, and the people of this world seem to be able to see through and far away in the dark, so do you want to ......

Let the people of this world help him find his companions, what about them?

Wu Ming asked: "You have a point in saying that, the light is nothing to me, if you can help me accomplish something, I don't mind providing you with a period of light, how about this a deal?"

The man did not speak, and the little boy and the little girl asked eagerly, "What is the matter?"

Wu Ming said: "I also have some partners who have come to this world. But I can't find them, so help me find them, people like me, who are out of step with this world and different at first glance, and that should be them. ”

The little boy and the little girl didn't speak, and the strange man suddenly said: "I do know one, it should also be a person who breaks the boundary, because the movement when he came was too big, and it also attracted the appearance of several black kings, but I don't know why, it didn't hurt him, it was a human who only had eyes, mouth, and a few muscles in his neck to move, in the depths of the Sea of Darkness three hundred kilometers northeast from here, this is the only clue, you can go and find it." ”
