Chapter 21: The Omen of Death
In the memory of the Immortal King, aside from the old creatures and the ancients, there should be many other creatures in the deep sky and the sea of stars.
Among them is a strange creature called the Death Star, also known as the Death Omen, the Calamity.
This strange existence, even I am not sure of its authenticity, because in the memory of the Immortal King...... That creature is a planet in its own right, at least the size of the moon!
The entire planet is a living lifeform, and there is a life force lurking beneath the surface that will surprise even the undead kings.
It can travel freely between the deep sky and the sea of stars, and every time it passes through some planets, it will bring great natural disasters to it.
Volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and tsunamis, or, more directly, changes in temperature, rapid and drastic changes in the earth's crust......
This may be an exaggeration, but in ancient times, that is, in the age of the dinosaurs, the Death Omen once visited the Earth and passed by the Earth.......
The Immortal King was a witness to that calamity, but it was a pity that in order to preserve his energy so that he could live longer, he did not intervene to stop it.......
To put it bluntly, although the Death Omen is conscious, it does not deliberately destroy other planets, but just casually passes you by like a walk in the back garden.
It wasn't the Death Omen itself that caused the catastrophe, but a strange fluctuation that came with it, and even the Undead King couldn't explain what it was.
Straight to the point.
Most of its appearances are accidents, but when there is an abnormality in some special places, it will also come to inquire and take a look at it from a distance.
The special place I'm talking about is the Stargate.
"This strange structure wasn't built by the ancients, it preceded them......." I said as I walked back and poured myself a glass of water.
"Before them?" The spider boy looked at me confusedly: "The Ancients must be the oldest creatures in this world, right?" Who else could have preceded them? ”
I shrugged my shoulders and said I don't know, to be precise, even those who have gone through thousands of years still can't figure out how the star gate came about.
Perhaps, like the death omen, the earth has its own independent consciousness, and maybe it made that door by itself.
"What does the Death Omen look like?" The old man asked.
"It's like a planet, with no land on the surface, only an ocean that spreads across the entire planet's surface." I said, carefully recalling the scene in the memory of the Immortal King: "It can emit light on its own, the light is emitted from the ocean, and it is a rust-colored planet on the whole, and the ocean is not ordinary salt water, it seems to be liquid iron ......."
Speaking of this, I couldn't help but shudder, remembering the scene I saw in the memory of the Immortal King before, and I only felt a little hairy behind it.
"When it rubs shoulders with some planets, the ocean of liquid iron will take on a giant eye, which looks much scarier than the creatures of the past........"
"Holy shit, this is the eye of the sky?!" Shippo asked me with wide eyes.
I didn't say anything, I gave Qibao a blank look, and I didn't bother to say anything to him.
"Anyway, it is impossible for the stargate to be opened all at once, from the time you contact the stargate to the time you open the stargate, there will be a seven-day gap between this, and we will definitely find an opportunity." I smiled and said to the others, "Sharpen the knife and don't mistake the woodcutter, what we need now is not to rush over, but to prepare well." ”
"How do you want to prepare?" Spider Boy asked me.
"First, find someone." I said, and my expression became serious: "The gentlemen in our line don't need to shout, and they still have to let them solve the baskets poked out by the old sect, so we just need Master Xiang and them to help." ”
"Grandpa Xiang?" The spider boy thought for a moment, and his eyes looked a little helpless: "It may not be enough to just call him, right?" Otherwise...... I invited the old ancestor over? ”
Hearing this, the killing ghost nodded in agreement, saying that only the ancestors can help us, and those surnamed Xiang may not be able to help.
"That's ...... Is it appropriate? I asked with a frown, my expression was very entangled, because the last time we met, I realized that the life span of the old ancestor was not much, and if he was allowed to follow us to play with his life, he might have to get in.
Although I know that the old ancestor is very capable, and having his help is like a tiger with wings, but ....... It seems a bit inappropriate to let an old man who is dying accompany us to play with our lives.
"Let's go back and ask the ancestors what they mean, and by the way, bring a message to Grandpa Xiang." The spider boy said, but it seemed a little resolute, looked at the wall clock hanging on the wall and said, "The day after tomorrow at the latest, whether the ancestors come or not, we will definitely be able to come." ”
"Okay......" I sighed, looking helpless, "Then I'll trouble you to make a trip." ”
Spiderboy smiled and said that there was something wrong with this, and that it should be done.
"We're leaving, be careful yourself." Before leaving, the killer said to me, "I don't know if the people of the old religion have any other conspiracy, so if you can't do it, you can play a decapitation operation!" ”
"If I can be beheaded by them, you two won't be here to help." I smiled and said, "Don't worry about it, pay more attention when you go back, don't let people block you." ”
As soon as he heard me say this, the killer ghost thought about it, and probably felt that it was the same reason, so he didn't say anything, and left the pharmacy with the spider boy.
By this time, it was already bright outside, and I looked at the increasingly dazzling sunlight in the sky, and I only felt that all this was full of unreal feelings, like soft but dazzling sunlight, with an indescribable illusion.......
Looking back, I was just a descendant, but then I had inexplicable contact with those creatures, and now I have to worry about the end of the world....... Fuck, I really answered the old man's words.
With great power comes great responsibility.
Now my life class is almost jumping into the class of old creatures, and it has long gone beyond the realm of physical mortals....... In a way, I'm not a descendant, I'm not a person in the industry, I can only be regarded as a humanoid monster.
"Let's go, go back to sleep."
I turned around and walked back to the pharmacy, closed the door, and let out a long yawn.
"It's been a night, and I can't hold it anymore......."
When I went back to my room to sleep, everyone else was still sitting downstairs, muttering something they didn't know what they were talking about, probably because of what I had said earlier.
I guess the old man can't sleep peacefully, and his heart must be hanging.
In fact, don't say it's them, even I, who knows the enemy's details, can't let go of my heart, and I always carry it.
To stop the Master from opening the stargate?
This sounds simple, but it's not so easy to do, the free division is obviously broken and broken, and the domestic situation is a mess, no matter how you look at it, there is a sense of breaking the kettle and sinking the boat to play with us.
To put it bluntly, Master Zizi is not stupid, he knows that what he is doing is the most important thing in his life.
It's all easy to say, if it doesn't work out, all the efforts in his life will come to naught, and even his own safety cannot be guaranteed.
At that time, whether we will die outright or end up with a bad death depends on what our enemies think.
He couldn't have been preoccupied with opening the stargate, there must be a backhand guarding us.......
Want to stop such a desperate old madman....... It's a little difficult to think about it........ What's more, I haven't seen the hole cards of the master yet........
"Are you scared?"
Suddenly, the voice of the wicked man came from the bedside.
When I turned over, I saw that the villain, who looked exactly like me, was sitting cross-legged on the ground, looking at me with a curious expression: "You're scared, right?" ”
"You're not afraid?" I asked with a wry smile.
"Don't be afraid." The villain shook his head: "Even if I die, I'm not afraid, with so many people with me, I won't be lonely even if I die." ”
I thought for a moment and asked cautiously, "What if you can't die, and you have to endure them for eternity?" ”
"It doesn't matter, there are so many people with you anyway."
The villain looked at it very openly, shrugged his shoulders, and said with a smile.
"But I still want to live, don't you humans have a saying? Called...... Is it better to die than to live? ”
I was stunned for a few seconds, couldn't help but snort, rolled over and fell asleep.
Is it better to die than to live?
This is a fucking fallacy...... It's definitely from the Seven Treasures! Absolutely!
