Two hundred and seven missions
"It's not funny." Barry said curtly.
I also hope it's a joke, Su Wen shrugged helplessly.
"So, how do we get out of here?" Barry asked, his beloved girl was about to meet a fateful fate, and Barry didn't have the heart to explore too much and asked directly.
"That's what you need." Peter looked at Barry and said, "The aura of speed force formed by the three galaxies in the sky is not only a cage, but also a noose. Regardless of how it was formed, its current function is to isolate the inner and outer planes through its own space-time corridor, and to divide all enemies into different planes, and to constantly pull the associated enemies into this world like a winch by constantly turning. ”
"It's a clever tactic." Peter said: "The predecessors who carried out this set of tactics must have been the strongest in this war, but he felt that he was not the opponent of all the enemies combined, so he thought of this method of dividing the battlefield." The powerful speed force will distort all time and space, from the outside, each round of change in the space-time corridor of this god speed force only exists for three seconds, and every three seconds people outside who want to enter the interior of time and space must make a time and space choice, choose which time and space they appear in the three galaxies, and the wrong choice means that they must fight alone. But the time inside is equivalent to the normal time of the solar system orbiting the galactic core at least 10 million times. This long time is enough for the seniors who pulled up the space-time corridor to kill all the enemies and wait for the next batch of enemies. ”
Speaking of this, Peter couldn't help frowning and said, "Many years ago, I met a great power who was also good at this tactic. Not only does he like to use his seemingly unrelated arrangements to cover up his true intentions, but he is also good at muddying all the waters, inadvertently ambushing a line in the muddy waters that people must not follow, so that people can unconsciously achieve his goal, and also break the kettle for this. ”
"Okay!" Su Wen smacked his lips and said, "Now I feel a little bit that even after nearly a hundred reincarnations, I am still a frog at the bottom of the well." ”
"It's all the same, there are too many unknowns in this world." Peter said: "In order to jointly resist the invasion of the forces of the Heavenly Court, in order to find allies who can join forces. As Gaia's surrogate and ambassador of Yas's crystal wall, I have visited hundreds of god systems alone, and there are many mysteries that I have never seen at all, at least among all the existences I have seen, I can be so arrogant as to make a galaxy into a halo, probably only the Lord of the North Wind has such a strong brute force. ”
"I want to break through such an arrogant field." Peter looked back at Barry and said, "Unless we become more brutal than they are, follow their own guidance." This space-time corridor is a shaft-shaped space-time noose, which divides the enemy while constantly pulling the enemy into the outside along the line of cause and effect. ”
"To escape the space-time corridor like a blackmail noose, we must use the speed force to turn in the opposite direction at its core." Peter said, "Although we don't have enough brute force to fight against the power of the Corridor of Moments, we can open a gap to the outside world, and this is the only exit left for us by this senior. ”
"Hmm." Su Wen groaned a little, "For the lack of three and one, this is also Long Jun's plan to prevent the enemy from dying and breaking the net, right." ”
"Not bad." Peter nodded, and said a little tiredly: "However, what qualifications do we little ants have to enter the eyes of our predecessors?" ”
"So, where is the core of the space-time corridor?" Barry asked.
"The Primordial Furnace." Peter said, "We need to go to the Primordial Furnace. ”
"The Primordial Furnace?" Barry hurriedly asked again, "What kind of place is that?" ”
"The history of this world is unique, and it's very different from what we've seen before." Peter groaned and said, "Its life is born of ashes, and its soul is born of fire." Legend has it that in ancient times, the world was gray, with only dense fog, limestone, giant trees and immortal ancient dragons. And then there was fire in the world, and the appearance of fire made everything different......"
"Wait!" Barry quickly digested Peter's words, and said in a narrator's low voice: "After the appearance of fire, the world was different, cold and hot, life and death, light and darkness, and the living corpse was born from the darkness, attracted by fire, and found the soul of the king near the fire: the original dead Nit, the witches of Izaris and the daughters of Chaos, Gwen the Lord of the Sun and his knights, and the dwarves that no one has ever seen. They gain the power of the king and challenge the immortal ancient dragons. Gwen's thunder, the witch's fire, the death miasma of Nit, and the scaleless white dragon Hiss betrayed the ancient dragon, leading to the defeat of the ancient dragon, and the era of fire began. But the age of fire will eventually be extinguished, and then there will be only darkness left......"
"Looks like you already know the world." Peter nodded and said, "This is a remnant world born directly from the cracks of chaos, and the first fire symbolizes the first order, and it is also the only order. Order is born from chaos, chaos is bound by order, the world emerges from order, and the world itself is achieved. The primordial fire is the source of order, the difference of all things, and the core of the world. To open the source of order, we think we need ......"
"Spread the fire!" Barry said with a heavy heart. He took a deep breath and said, "But in order to spread the fire, we need a large enough soul, because for the primordial fire, the soul is the only firewood, and hunting souls to throw themselves into the original furnace is the only way to continue the age of fire." If you hunt souls in order to break through this cage. Sorry, I can't obey my fate, I won't kill for this, even if it hunts the undead. ”
In Barry's mind, this is a sad world, and the chaotic world gives birth to the flame that symbolizes order, but the flame of order needs the soul as firewood. In order to keep the flame from going out, the original three kings led the ancestors of the order to hunt the powerful ancient dragons at the risk of death, not only to challenge the status of the ancient dragons, but also to hunt their souls into the original fire, as firewood, so that the flames could continue.
Because once the fire of the place is extinguished, it also means that the order has disappeared, and the sun, which symbolizes order, is also extinguished, and the world will fall into the first darkness.
But even if you hunt the souls of all the immortal ancient dragons, the firewood will eventually burn out one day.
The appearance of a living corpse is a symbol of the flame that will be extinguished, and without enough fire to ignite the fire in place, the power of order cannot continue to maintain the "difference" of life, which is the so-called human nature, and the living soul degenerates into a living corpse, that is, the primitive posture. In order for the flame to continue to burn, both humans and giants must continue to fill the firewood into the fire, and a lot of firewood.
As the most powerful of the three kings, although they each continued the age of fire through their own different methods, they all failed, and even caused terrible disasters: the Witch of Chaos wanted to create a new fire, but was consumed by the fire, becoming a hotbed of chaos, and Izaris was reduced to ruins; In order to maintain the original fire, the King of the Sun quietly ignited his soul and became the original Salary King. But they are still not strong enough, if they want firewood, they must continue to hunt, and when the alien race is finished, the giants and human powerhouses who have gathered a large number of soul fires will naturally become the targets of hunting.
Generations of undead hunted monsters and heroes committed heinous crimes and became pay-earners; The pay-bearers hunted each other, and became the pay-bearers who kept the fire in the midst of the fire; The fire has been extinguished, and the Salary King, who is unwilling to spread the fire, is hunted by the fireless ashes, and also becomes the fireless ashes in the curse; Every time the bell rings, you must wake up from the grave and continue to hunt the Salary King until it is completely dissipated.
In a sense, the salary passers, salary kings, and fireless embers are almost all former heroes, kings, and even the masters of the world, and they have also been born by the common people, benefiting future generations, and being admired by thousands of people. However, in order to continue the era of fire, the new undead will continue to hunt the strong and become the new fire bearer.
This continuation is also extremely fragile, and if any link goes wrong, it will lead to the arrival of the Dark Ages.
If there were no payrolls, the stove would be short of firewood; Once the Salary King is not lost, the extinguishing fire will not be able to ignite the firewood; If the fireless ashes are too greedy for fire, the primordial flame that is not infused with fire will be extinguished at any time, and whether or not the fire can be successfully transmitted depends on their "enlightenment" in order to make the world continue.
Even, if the souls born in the world do not need more souls to transmit fire, the world will be burned out sooner or later.
"You don't need to hunt souls, my friend." Kane, from Onuma, took a deep breath and said, "If the fire transmission you are talking about can really continue the era of fire, I am willing to devote myself to the furnace as firewood." This may be my mission, it is the gods who have made me a cursed one and must embark on a journey. ”
Barry was silent as he said to Kane, "I'm sorry, even if you're willing to throw yourself into the furnace, you won't be able to keep the flame going on for long. ”
"It's okay, my friend." Perhaps finding his calling, Kane could no longer see the decadence, but smiled, and said, "Even if it can last for a day, it will be an honor for my generation." I believe that there will be many heroes who, like me, will embark on a journey, retrace my footsteps, and devote themselves to the mission of being a cursed, just like the kings of old. ”
"Just you, a waste who doesn't even have the power of a low-level knight, wants to hunt the cursed?" The ambusher disdained Barry's sarcasm, and then pulled down his mask, revealing a young and immature face. She looked at Peter, pointed at Barry, and asked respectfully, "Lord Sage from Arnorlund." Is what the prisoner said true? Throwing souls into the original furnace can really continue the age of fire? ”
Peter was silent for a long time before he sighed and said, "The dedication of the soul began a long time ago. The Great King of the Sun has already sacrificed himself to the furnace to let order continue. ”
"Even his embers are still kings, and he is still in front of the same furnace to keep the fire from going out." Barry added.
"Hats off, Kane from Onuma." The ambusher nodded, then knelt down in front of Kane and said, "Ellie from Lexus is willing to trace your north back to the north as your sword for hunting souls, like the knights of the ancient kings. If the final soul is still not enough or I am unfortunately killed in battle, please follow the ancient tradition of destroying my body, sucking my soul, and continuing the mission of spreading fire. ”
"The Superior Knights of Lexus are equally willing to follow in your footsteps." I saw that all the heavily armored warriors in the square also knelt down and saluted Kane: "Like the knights of the ancient kings, become the sword in your hand and offer your soul." ”
"Spreading fire is a mission given to me by the gods." Kane looked at Ellie and the heavily armored warriors, shook his head, and said, "You also have your own mission. You need to tell my story to everyone and sing the good news to everyone. It will guide all the organizers forward, find a mission for all those who are lost, and as my friend said, a person who throws himself into the furnace may not keep the flame for long. ”
"Only when more flame bearers come forward can the torch be passed on"
