"People like Miss Lu, you should know the role of the gods in this boundless universe."

Lu Mengyao and Van Newwin sat in the darkness of space, and the latter snapped his fingers, allowing the hidden display screen to resurface between the two. The battle on the island of Japan and Mount Everest is presented from multiple angles, and the magician secretly calculates the position of these cameras, which are not the product of satellites, but more like some kind of suspended matter in the atmosphere.

"The gods form the foundation of this world. They participate in the operation of the center of the world, and this huge tree of time and space, which spans hundreds of billions of stars and tens of billions of years, is not as small as the part we can observe. Van Newwin asked himself, "Have you ever wondered what the truth of this world is?" Why are we gathered at the center of the universe? Why is the world of our action focused on the works of human civilization on earth from the twentieth century to the twenty-first century? Are we, the characters in these stories, real beings, or empty souls? ”

Lu Mengyao raised one of her eyebrows slightly.

Van Newwin smiled as he said slowly, "I know the truth—at least part of it." The meaning of the existence of this world, as well as the story of the gods. Why, they were also among the adventurers in the first place, and why, after becoming the ultimate beings who transcended the qiē, began to take over the authority and sustain the system? And before there were gods, what established and operated this center? ”

Is it a rhetorical technique? The magician weighed the possibilities, but at the same time she couldn't help but be drawn to what the other party had to say. Since entering this world, she has been thinking about the truth of this world all the time. The answer to this question is crucial to her, and when it comes closer to the answer. She's a little ...... Afraid.

"I did a lot of homework on history." Van Newwon's pace of speech began to quicken, as he recounted the greatest achievement of his life. Even a weathered businessman like him can become excited, "My first question is, how long has this world existed?" I began to search for the oldest adventurer I could find. Including the incarnations of the gods. I was amazed by the answer...... The history I can explore is more than 50 years, and there are countless more history to dig up. ”

"The incarnation of the gods was reluctant to reveal this information to me, but I received it under the guidance of His Excellency Dzerzhinsky, a member of the Board of Directors of the Science and Technology Alliance. He lived through the fabled era of the 'Orb of Light'. ”

"Is it the early model of the World Hub? All resources and abilities can be exchanged directly to the hub? Lu Mengyao frowned, she had read similar records. I've heard that the atmosphere of Kingdom of Heaven was still quite brutal at the time, and I heard that there would be missions where multiple groups of people would be put in the same world and kill each other. ”

"That's right, several of the current gods ascended to the throne from that cruel era, and reorganized the rules of this world, transforming this world into a more diverse game of heaven. And among them, it is said that there is a process of 'challenging the creator'. Van Nuveen raised his index finger and lowered his voice, "I don't know the situation. But the 'reigning gods', more than a hundred years ago, took the form of guò challenging the rulers of the world at that time, and seized the supremacy of this multiverse. And the current generalissimo of the Crimson Force. 'Emperor Martial of the Heavens' was the leader of the challengers at that time. It's interesting to note that more than ten years after the reorganization of the game from Heaven. The 'Chaos Insurgency' is just beginning to emerge. ”

"The remnants of the old days?" Lu Mengyao's eyes narrowed slightly, "What do you mean?" The true purpose of the Chaos Insurgency is to overthrow the current gods. Restore the rule of the old era? ”

"Let me ask you a question." Without a positive answer, Van Newwin turned to a rhetorical question, "Do you think the gods are indestructible?" ”

The magician pondered for more than ten seconds before he frowned and shook his head slowly: "According to the current theory of the universe, as long as the infinite universe is not destroyed, the gods are immortal and immortal. What can destroy miè is only their incarnation, their essence is fused with the roots of the world, and existing theories cannot do to strip away their essence. ”

"Yes, the gods are immortal and can only eliminate their interference with the real universe by destroying their incarnations. So, could the 'rulers' they once fought together be so easily and easily killed? Van Newwin asked the question.

Lu Mengyao flicked her nails, and the meaning that Fan Newwen wanted to express was very clear, but this answer may not be easy to accept.

"You're saying that the creators of that old era were not completely eliminated, but all the incarnations were eliminated and kicked out of this game. But in the intervening decades, it has regained its influence and begun to interfere in the world, forming the Chaos Insurgency. ”

"And I'm sure that the Chaos Insurgency's recent actions are just a prologue to the real show. This is the first time that this covert underground organization has carried out such a large-scale attack, targeting the elites of various groups. But the real goal should be aimed at the gods above the god position, they want to dismember the current adventurer social order in an orderly manner, as long as the several major adventurer groups that make the order are destroyed, the adventurers at the bottom will fall into chaos. Forces have swarmed up to violently compete for vacant power - how is this different from the dark slaughter of the previous generation? ”

Van Newven's voice grew high, and anger welled up in his eyes.

"It took the gods a hundred years to transform the world into its current state, and it would be a step backwards in history to go back to the way it was! …… The purpose of the Infinite Trade Association is to improve the function of this society, to create the most convenient and fast trading platform, and to support the patch of this social order. Even if the Chaos Insurgency really does something abnormal and the current ruling group completely disintegrates, we must rely on the power of commerce and trade to support the social table, and we cannot let the adventurers, a group of timeless and space, fall into a full-scale civil war - trade, since the establishment of the economic system, has been the strongest tool to transform the world. ”

Lu Mengyao was silent for a while, and said softly: "If the adventurer's society really falls into a civil war, the flames of war will spread to all the universes affected by the tentacles of the world center. ”

"At that time, it will really be a great crisis that will affect the life and death of the multiverse." Van Nuvin said wearily, "That's why I want to expand the Infinite Commerce Association as much as possible. Paradise Lost's customer base is not safe, and to be honest, it's not what I would be looking for, but for now, we're just putting the risk aside and accelerating the expansion of the association to grow our power by any means necessary. ”

Lu Mengyao massaged her eyebrows with her thumb, this action was still learned from Su Jing before, "Are you saying this to persuade me to give up this mission?" ”

"You don't stand a chance of winning." Van Newven calmly asserted, "Your Excellency Su Luo should be your biggest hole card, but this card has been turned over, although I don't have an eight-star level, I also know how to forcibly use gold-level power in the silver-level world...... She also has five-star powers, and I'm already amazed. The probability of Lord Lazarus defeating her is more than 95%. And the victory rate in the Japanese battlefield will only be even lower - Mandus's power has already stepped into the gold level, three silver levels...... It is impossible to defeat him. ”

"And me." Lu Mengyao smiled lightly, "Although I haven't fought much head-on, I ...... It should be a bit of a deterrent. ”

"I thought we could sit here until the next two fights were over." Van Newwin sighed, "I don't like fighting, but it's not that I don't have the ability to fight. It's just that in my opinion, an unnecessary fight is nothing more than a waste of resources. ”

"Why don't you make a bet here? If you trust your judgment that much, then let's see who will win below. If my companion wins, then please withdraw from this competition. Otherwise, we will withdraw from this mission. The magician said.

"Hmm...... I'm sitting here with you, and if you don't make a move...... I always feel that I am more at a loss for this agreement. ”

"My opinion is the opposite." Lu Mengyao's faint smile gradually faded, "I still have some confidence in my teammates, if even I participate in the battle, maybe it will be too unfair to you." ”

"Is there room for the strong?" Van Newwin chuckled, "Then we'll wait here." I don't think the fight will last long. ”

"Where is Konstantin?" Lu Mengyao asked suddenly.

Van Newwin frowned.

――――――

[I have not-so-good news here. 】

Lu Mengyao's voice came from the communication channel, Su Jing was standing on the crater doing soft gymnastics, and he adjusted the volume.

[James. Digretz is not with Van Newven and may well have infiltrated your battlefield. The good news is that Van Newwin doesn't seem to be aware of Konstantin's current situation, or rather, not all of it. 】

"In other words, they unknowingly covered up the resurrection of Mandus and attacked us with it......" The ground under Su Jing's feet was trembling subtly, like a huge earthworm drilling a hole in the depths of the earth.

[Van Newvin didn't realize that Konstantin was not dead, and he shared with me the last video of Konstantin before he died.] Constantine had his sensors on his body, and the trickster ended up giving his magic pendant to Mandus' mistress, Lilith. It has been preliminarily confirmed that the current form of the Demon God consists of Mandus and his son. 】

Konstantin himself...... Is it really dead? ”

[Judging from the video recorded by the sensor, it is gone.] The problem should be with that pendant, I'm looking up the database...... The answer was quickly answered. (To be continued......)
