Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Watcher
The points of light that had fallen from the giant's calves vanished, and seemed to stop scattering, and in an instant, the death of the giant became even worse, and even the sound of his heartbeat became smaller.
I gritted my teeth, endured the ** that knelt down, and walked towards the giant step by step.
To be honest, I didn't know why I was approaching it, and I didn't know what my purpose was, but there was a strange thought that guided me, as if it had hypnotized me.
It sent me over and near to this king, so that he could see what the Hereafter would look like.
I don't know why, but as I got closer to the giant, I felt more and more about it, as if I had a particularly strange empathy
The body is decaying, life is dying, like a bonfire that has been burning for tens of millions or even billions of years, even if it is an immortal existence, it will gradually enter death
Death is the only thing that cannot be resisted.
I once heard in the mouth of Wu Xianfo that death is the most terrible, because even time cannot escape death.
As for the kings of the old who have survived forever, they have just not reached that point, and their lives have not yet come to an end.
When I cautiously walked to a position about ten meters in front of the giant, I was surprised to find that there were many more figures around.
The figures were vague, and not all of them were humanoids, and there were many strange silhouettes.
There are things that look like brain monsters, and there are also shadows that look like human heads and fish bodies
These strange-shaped figures seem to be covered with a thick veil, and you can only see their outlines, but you can't see their real bodies.
I really can't tell what the foreign objects are doing that they can't distinguish the outline of their bodies, but I can tell that they are kneeling and saluting.
That's right.
They were all saluting the giant.
I was also in a bit wrong at this time, as if I had just woken up, my mind was foggy, and I didn't continue to move forward, but looked left and right at those figures with a confused face.
"The people of the ancients, the chosen people, the source of the inheritance of life, all things should bow down"
A voice rang out, but it was more receptive to it than the human voices I had heard before.
It's a woman's voice.
It doesn't sound very old, it's about the same as me, and the tone is very natural, gentle to the extreme
My gut told me that she was supposed to be talking to me, and her Mandarin was more standard than mine.
As for the words that came from her mouth, in my opinion, it should refer to the origin of this giant, it is one of the ancients, and it is also the person selected by the ancients, and it seems that it is still the source of some life inheritance
"Who is it?" I asked tentatively.
The gentle voice sounded right next to me, so close to me, much closer than before, and it wasn't as unfamiliar as before, and it sounded indescribably familiar.
I think I've heard it somewhere else!
"It is the one who destroys the dead, the only immortal king," the voice explained to me in an extremely gentle voice, "It is also chosen by the ancient people, the watcher of the deep sky and the starry sea. ”
Devoid?
The word should mean something like extinction, is it a person who can exterminate and die? Or the only immortal king??
The more you listen to the description of this giant, the more familiar it becomes, it seems to be a bit similar to the sand-bodied ones!
Or are the creatures that have reached their level similar in strength and ability? That's why the descriptions are so similar??
But that's not the most important thing, the most curious and intriguing thing for me is the description.
Watcher of the Deep Sky Star Sea.
If I didn't know about the existence of the Ancients, and the war that took place in the Ancients, then I would have been a little confused by this description, completely ignorant of what I would.
But now I almost understand it when I hear it, and I can guess it with my toes.
After the Ancient War, the kings of the old days were defeated one after another, and left this world with their families or retinues, and went to the vast and boundless universe to find their own footholds.
They are all vanquished in the deep space star sea, and they are also a group of extremely dangerous creatures, and if no one to monitor them, no one to observe their movements, then these troubles are likely to return
Isn't that the case in the old religion now?
Without anyone noticing, the turtle grandsons began to develop wantonly in the country, until they developed to the point where they are now intertwined and difficult to eradicate.
Even those old creatures lurking in the deep sky star sea are also ready to move, especially the restless guy of the black-robed king, who wants to return to the yang world through the hands of the old sect
So, monitoring old creatures is a must-do, but not everyone has the ability to do so.
It is extremely difficult for a gentleman like us, not to mention spying on those creatures, but also trying to spy on the prophets of the Old Religion.
"Those defeated in the deep sky and the sea of stars cannot escape the eyes of the immortal king, when they look directly at the world through the starry sky, the king is also looking directly at them, warning them" The gentle voice continued to speak, as if knowing my doubts, and said to me unhurriedly: "But death can kill everything, no one can truly annihilate death, and the immortal king will not escape the disaster of extinguishing the fire of life after all."
"Did time kill it?" I couldn't help but ask.
"It's not time, it's the enemy." The gentle voice continued, "Time cannot make the Immortal King die, because it stands at the source of the river of time and the beginning of the inheritance of life"
As soon as I heard that it was the enemy who killed this giant, I couldn't help but wonder, could it be those old kings?
But it's not right, this giant should have only started monitoring the deep sky star sea after the Great War, during that time, most of the old kings have been hit hard, and are lurking in some stars to recuperate, it is impossible to have this ability, and they dare not return to the afterlife at will
"The Faceless Black-robed One, the Sand-Bodyed One who brings death and chaos, the Lord of the Deep Sea in Chaos" The gentle voice also became much heavier when he said this: "The Old Kings have all united, and they tried to invade this world thousands of years ago, but they failed."
The news scared me, really, it's not an exaggeration.
Attempts were made to invade the afterlife thousands of years ago???
Fucking a bunch of old kings banding together to invade??
The Sand-Body Man and the Black-robed King would actually stand on the united front?? Looks like the Sandboon is really not a good thing
But why haven't I heard of it?
As far as I know, the kings of the old days, such as the Black Robe King, should have not returned to the afterlife after leaving the afterlife.
What's more, thousands of years ago, if they fought, it would definitely be a great war, and a careless one could lead to a catastrophe that would destroy the world.
If they did invade the afterlife, then why is there no record in the history books?
"They're fighting?" I asked.
The woman snorted and said, yes.
"Where is the battlefield?" I asked busily.
The woman replied, "Deep Sky Star Sea." ”
When I got this answer, it was immediately clear to me.
If it is fought in the sky, then this world full of ** mortal fetuses will naturally not be affected, not to mention that it should mean that it should be won.
If we lose, there will be nothing to do with our descendants.
"There were twelve kings of the old days who were at war with the king at that time." The woman said, her tone revealing incomparable reverence, and she seemed to be proud of this giant: "Four of them were wiped out by the Undead King, and the remaining Old Kings were also seriously injured and could no longer fight, so they could only flee back to the Deep Sky Star Sea."
As soon as the words fell, she fell silent very abruptly.
It took a while for her to speak, her tone low and unspeakably sad.
"The Immortal King has no comrades, only himself, and he fights against the twelve old kings alone, and he can't save the continuation of his own life"
"It was also from that battle that the flame of its life began to gradually extinguish, and its body gradually began to decay."
"The calamity of the immortal king has also come."
