54. The Origin of the Deep Sea Age

"What does the sacrificial ground look like...... Are you familiar with it? ”

Hearing the words of the fireproof girl, Ash nodded calmly and with some apologies. If there was still some uneasiness in Ash's heart before he saw the fireproof girl, then now, Ash's heart seems to have stopped beating. It's as calm as a pool of stagnant water, but it's not the same as ever. The current pool of stagnant water, whenever I look at the fireproof woman, there will be ripples in a circle.

"Sorry......"

Looking at the fireproof woman in front of her, Ash's eyes were full of apologies. But for Ash's apology, the firefighter just shook her head calmly.

"No apologies, Lord Ash." Looking at the ashes in front of her, the firefighter said calmly, "The world itself originates from darkness. It was because of the appearance of fire that the darkness subsided. And now, the fire is extinguished, and it is only a matter of returning the world to darkness......"

"I already knew your thoughts when you chose to refuse to summon me to the furnace of the first fire......" said the firefighting girl, touching the already cracked face of the ashes with some nostalgia, and smiled a little weakly, "Speaking of which...... Why did you take off your helmet like that, Lord Ash? ”

"Didn't you ask me to pick it?"

Hearing Ash's words, the Firefighter was not surprised. Because the time they spent together had already begun at the very beginning of the Age of Fire. As for Ash's character and behavior, the fireproof girl must be clear to everyone. It is even said that even the ashes themselves may not know themselves as well as the fireproof woman. But even so, after hearing Ash's answer, a touch of helpless happiness still rose on the face of the fire prevention girl.

"Speaking of which, Lord Ash, do you know the name of this piece of armor on you?"

"Name?" Hearing the words of the fireproof girl, the ash on the side frowned hesitantly. Seeing this, the fireproof girl nodded, and then continued:

"You are the ashes of the primordial beginning, and since birth, you have no pain, no feelings, no touches, no tastes...... Like a child, pure innocence. There is no good or evil, no good or evil. To ordinary people, you are like an outsider. It is impossible to understand human feelings, and it is impossible to understand the motives of good and evil...... It is precisely because of this that you are also the best container of humanity......"

"But you're not perfect, as an ancient tree in the distance burned out, it's not the first fire that burns you, it's the chaos flames of the witches of Izaris and the children of chaos that burn you...... That's why you, as a container, have had a huge rift since the beginning. As a result, Gwen, the king of Wuxing, the original dead Nit, the witch of Izaris, and even the dwarf who received the dark soul, voluntarily separated half of the king's soul as material to create this "king's vessel" to fill the rift. ”

"So, every time you take off your helmet, the crack will reappear. And this means that the power of the spirit in your body will gradually dissipate. ”

Hearing this, Ash nodded calmly. I tried to clench my fist, and then said with some curiosity, "Is there anything wrong with this?" ”

A little helplessly glanced at the ashes in front of him, although the eyes of the fireproof girl have been sealed by the ash, but for some reason, the ashes can easily feel the appearance of the fireproof girl...... Perhaps this is the benefit of soul connection.

Instead of answering Ash's question, sitting on the stone steps beside her, the Firefighter Girl was silent for a moment and then said slowly, "Do you know how this world was born? ”

“…… Birth? ”

Nodding, the fireproof girl looked up at the dome of the sacrificial ground, but what was somewhat surprising was that I don't know when the dome of the sacrificial ground had turned into an endless void. The dazzling galaxy is dotted around, and the colorful rainbow light constitutes the most basic color of this world.

"When you extinguish the flames, the world falls silent...... And what happened when the world was completely covered in darkness? …… Everything shrunk to a single point. Just like in the era of the Immortal Ancient Dragons before the appearance of the First Fire, even the boundaries between life and death have been blurred. In this way, I don't know how many 10,000 years have passed, and from this point, this sea of stars has been derived. ”

"That is, the age of the deep sea, as Eldridge foretold."

Hearing the words of the fireproof woman, Ash nodded hesitantly. In fact, he had already thought about this problem, because when facing Odin, Ash clearly felt the breath of the king's soul when he released the storm and thunder. It's just that the breath is too far away, and even the ashes are only vaguely felt, not accurate. It is precisely because of this that because he can't figure it out, Ash doesn't care...... If it weren't for the fireproof woman who said it, Ash probably would never have cared.

Looking at the ashes in front of her, the firefighter nodded.

"This is the age of the deep sea, and the geyers in your body are out of step with this era, as you can see, the power of those geyers has turned into the sediment of the human heart, forming a human pus in your body......"

Hearing the words of the fireproof girl, Ash glanced at the pus of the person behind him who was even dragging on the ground with a black silk cloak, and his eyes were full of doubt.

"But...... Isn't the pus of man born because of the abyss? ”

Hearing Ash's doubts, the Firefighter nodded slowly.

"You're right, if there is no abyss, then human pus will naturally not appear...... But now, the abyss has overflowed from that "point" and sprinkled this sea of stars. ”

Hearing the words of the firefighting woman, Ash fell silent. He knew better than anyone the existence of the abyss. The former overlord Vonnier went astray because of her research on the Abyss, although relying on the power of the Abyss, she almost conquered the entire human realm. But in the end, his crimes were still known to the Fran Immortals. And the results after that are also obvious...... The country was tragically destroyed, and the Fran Immortal Squad killed all the troops, soldiers, and citizens of Warnier.

But their monarch, Overlord Vonnier, did not die from this. Instead, he took refuge in the Catacommodates of Casas, which had been established long ago as a bunker. Relying on a labyrinthine cemetery and elite soldiers, the Fran Immortals established the Fran Fortress on the ruins of the royal city of Casas for eternal suppression.

And the overlord Vonnier suffered for a long time...... He was invincible when he gained the power of the abyss, and the power of the abyss gradually lost control as it accumulated. Out of fear of the abyss, Warnir slaughtered the clergy and looted four relics to protect himself from being swallowed by the abyss. Although the relics can indeed shield themselves from the erosion of the abyss, due to long-term research, Vornier has also become terminally ill. The flesh and blood of his body were devoured by the abyss, and although it was still the same, Vonier had already suffered a far-reaching mark on his soul. If it weren't for the existence of the holy relics, he would have been completely swallowed by the abyss. It is precisely because of the holy relics that he can let his upper body survive in the world...... But even so, the power of the relics is limited after all. As time goes by, sooner or later, Vonier will also be completely swallowed up by the abyss...... Simply so, the ashes took the lead in destroying the holy relics on his body.

To this day, Ash remembers the horror on the face of the once-formidable Vornier when he was swallowed into the abyss......

"So......" groaned, and Ash looked at the firefighter in front of him with a determined gaze, "What am I going to do?" ”

"Legacy Flame ......"

"Is that really the case......

Hearing the words of the fireproof girl, although Ash had a guess, he still couldn't help but sigh when he got the answer. Hearing the sigh of the ashes, a chuckle rose on the face of the fireproof woman on the side.

Or...... Take away the flames. ”

"Huh?"
