Chapter 45: The Connection Between the Past and the Future (7)

"Restored ......" Irees couldn't believe what he had seen with his own eyes, the eroded pillar of the earth had regained its divine light, and along with the soft fluorescence, it had also restored the breath of life. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The scent of the plant made all the elves and druids who witnessed the miracle cheer, and some even knelt down and kissed the ground beneath their feet.

"The Pillars of the Earth are purified!"

"We're saved!"

Unlike the elven king's ecstasy, the wind elemental lord who temporarily replaced the apostle of the pillar of the earth had a tense face and stared at Link with his eyes fixed. After completing the purification, this soul of unknown origin and the identity of a child of nature finally transformed into a flesh/body. The same face as the soul body, but the ordinary appearance made him suddenly feel inexplicably familiar.

I didn't think anything was going on when I saw his face before, but why did I feel déjà vu now......

"Is there anything wrong?" Sensing that his old friend hadn't joined in the celebration, Iris's nerves, which had not been loosened, tightened again.

"That guy...... I've seen him. ”

"Huh, are you old acquaintances?"

"No...... Not the past...... Tsk......" Hull suppressed the urge to press the corners of his forehead, and he could not find the right words to describe his feelings: "I'm sure I've seen him, but not this face, perhaps...... Not the identity he uses now. Although it is very light, he does have a causal thread with me. ”

This is what surprised Hull the most, obviously there was nothing before, and he couldn't guess its origin at all, but it was revealed after the Pillar of Purification, what was going on? and......

"It's not just me, you're more connected to his causal threads. ”

Ires couldn't hide his surprise, "If the Pillar had chosen a new apostle before the closure of Mount Horacio, you wouldn't have been unaware of it. I have never seen such a ......."

A ridiculous thought flashed through the elf's mind.

How can it be?

The man was long dead, and the rumors that had been circulating were only the writings of his successor.

Regaining his physical body, it took a while for Link to adjust to his new body.

Unlike the 'Befast' on the other side of time, and unlike the shell prepared by the Wind Pillar when he first arrived in Edgar, the current one is even more ...... Energetic? No. He was stronger, he could perceive every muscle, and the blood flowing in the veins, and the heart beating with the breath, obviously it was a living life, but his soul and consciousness seemed to be free from the body, looking down and seeing everything from a controlled perspective.

When he came to his senses, he saw Ires and Hel looking at him strangely, both of them looking at him with expressions of desire to stop talking.

It seems that they have already guessed, but they are not very sure, and they dare not ask.

In order to prevent them from being exposed in a hurry, Link stretched out his hand and made a silent gesture: "It's not time yet, don't say, don't ask, sooner or later I'll tell you." Sorry, the stakes are high, and I have to be cautious. ”

In response to the purification of the Pillar of the Earth, a strong death aura erupted in the direction of Xindu, and the vibration of divine power was even sensed by Mount Horacio.

Xindu, as the headquarters of Dawn, should be deployed with a powerful enchantment, and the power that does not reach the level of divine presence cannot be shaken at all, but ...... This fluctuation does come from Xindu.

In such a moment, he was pulled down by the pillar of the earth in the divine domain. Dark, deep, and quiet, Link had the illusion that he was still in the void.

[You did a good job, the history is completely connected. Iriel, the White Deer's incarnation, was very satisfied with Link's performance, and after traveling through time and space, his attitude of speaking also changed completely, and his hostility was completely gone.

Although Zhu said this, Link still had doubts in his heart, which was completely comparable to whether it was the existing chicken or the egg first.

Dawn sent him back to have the role of Befast, and the Befast he played gave his future self a lot of assistance, and this timeline is really messy and unclear.

[Don't dwell on those meaningless details, your task now is to let the law expel the dawn.] 】

"Expel Dawn? Why?" Although it had long been speculated that Dawn had no affection for humans, Link had always thought that Dawn would be an ally at least until Hicks the Grim Reaper was dealt with, so why was Pillar so reluctant to exclude him?

[Why do you think he sent you back?] The white deer paced lightly, each step brightening the dark divine realm and restoring its original brilliance. Different from the pure elemental gods of wind and fire, the spiritual space of the pillar of the earth is a verdant world tree that symbolizes life, with the branches and leaves being the sky and the roots being the earth.

Why are you sending me back? Isn't it changing the past?

Julian's face flashed through his mind, and Link shook his head, he couldn't guess the god's thoughts.

[No matter how many times you travel through time through divine power, it is always a mortal who makes the choice. 】

Link nodded in agreement, he knew this.

The gods, though strong, cannot intervene directly in the physical realm, and the chosen apostles do not necessarily do what the gods want. Feelings and desires change hearts, and so does Hicks, he ...... And so it is, otherwise I wouldn't have said those words to Bray at the end. Even if he has no ambition, he is doing it for his own convenience, which Link does not deny. As a time-traveler, he should have followed history, but the longer he stayed in the past time and space, the more confused he became.

If Dawn hadn't sent him to the past, if there had been no hero Befast in history, if Orlando, Dante, and Julian had all died in the Northern Fortress, would there have been nothing that happened later, and would he have inadvertently created a history that didn't exist in the first place?

The Pillar of the Earth said that he sent me back to understand the past, to understand the truth that cannot be told hidden in history and time, but why do you want me to deal with Dawn now, isn't it a contradiction?

[Dawn is the god of light and fairness, although the majority of believers are humans, it has long been dissatisfied with human beings, and it was the first to propose a cleansing plan. 】

Thinking back to the few times he had spent with Dawn, Link had no way to judge. Whether it was a kind old man or a vigorous young man, the god did not show any disgust for humans. However, since the pillar says so...... It's not nonsense, human beings are indeed selfish, and even as human beings, they sometimes hate some of the shortcomings of human beings, but human beings not only have such and such faults, but also have good points......

[Ilias wants to know if if he did it all over again, at the same time, in the same place, with the same people, and with the same thing, would have a different result. Hicks has failed us, and the Ragnarokes Rebellion is over, but the fate of destruction has not been reversed. It wants to lend your hand, to the only otherworldly man in Edgar who will not be rejected by the law, to go back in time to witness his final bet. 】

The result is obvious, that guy Julian ruined humanity's last chance......

If it weren't for the fact that killing important people would affect the direction of history, Link would have killed the bad guy long ago, and at this moment, he couldn't help but regret his momentary hesitation and soft-heartedness.

[It is wise for you not to move him, although you are not bound by Edgar's law, but anyone who is directly related to you cannot die because of you, once you go beyond the boundary, the law can still be through you to explore the gods related to it, and then restrict, this is the inhibition of the world, in order to prevent the gods from being powerful. The Pillars of the Earth obviously didn't want to say too much on this issue, and once again brought the conversation back to Dawn, [When the past and the future converge, and those chosen to be observed did not change history, Elias was determined to annihilate humanity. 】

"Just human?"

Don't forget, Hicks was originally a human being, what do you think he wants to control the material world through the undead? It is his own fate, even if he travels through time to become a god, he is only a god of the past and present, in the future, he is still a human being, if human beings cease to exist before he is born, then his condition of returning to the past from the future is not valid, naturally, it is impossible to become a god or something. Do you want to ask, why don't you send someone over when you can get rid of Hicks in the future timeline? Think about why we let him go back, and why we gave him the power to go beyond bounds. 】

Ahhh......h

Link lifts his forehead.

Getting rid of Hicks would have turned fate back on course, and the war of the gods would still lead to the destruction of Edgar.

If it is possible to annihilate humanity and turn back its fate before it was changed, then why would Dawn do this? Isn't it a contradiction?

[Did I say it is now?]

"What do you mean......"

[As long as Hicks is completely fallen, it will not change the line of fate that takes him as the cause and effect.] 】

"So...... Even if you take a great risk, you can only ask Dawn to leave the game temporarily...... "Dawn is indeed an indispensable ally in the fight against the undead, but instead of letting him give the human race a great purge after fighting the undead, it is better to expel him from the material world now. And why is it so eager...... The reason lies with me.

[Yes, you can figure it out best.] 】

It wasn't until this moment that Link really understood why he was chosen.

If you don't alarm the gods related to the law and cause and effect, there are only lifeweavers from the other world. In order to avoid another apostle with the ambition of Hicks, this person must have no desires. For those who are likely to be disobedient in order to maximize control, it is necessary to choose short-lived humans, and even if there are inevitable mistakes, they can be allowed to die as soon as possible.

[That's right, as you can imagine, from the beginning, this is a last bet with no way back.] Dawn is gambling, and so are we. 】

"So, the Hicks army didn't want the complete extinction of humanity?"

The white deer walked up to Link and was very surprised by his indifference, it was even ready to deal with the rage, but it didn't expect this human to accept the truth so quickly, so calm that it felt afraid. Is it really inhibition, or is it just the way it is? If the latter, if he falls, isn't it even more terrible than Hicks? Hicks still has desires, and this one......

The spiritual space was equal, and Link's strength was meager, and although he couldn't detect the thoughts of the Earth Pillar, he still felt the worries from the first gods.

In fact, it's not that Link is completely unfazed, but in his opinion, these are beyond the scope of his personal solution, even if he wants to break his head, it will not help, rather than bothering about it, he simply doesn't want to be relaxed. What he didn't understand was why Zhu was jealous of himself, a useless waste without divine power, but he didn't want to make Zhu suspicious because of this, and if he had any ideas, it was better to find out in person.

"Maybe that's the way I'm by nature, I'm not a particularly strong person, I'm still a little emotional in my original world, and after coming to Edgar and receiving your hints, I feel like I can't do anything, but...... Strangely, I didn't have thoughts of misanthropy or nihilism. To this day, I still believe that the most beautiful thing in the world is emotion, and the most brilliant thing is life. Maybe in the future, when I will regret the bold words of my youth, I will make mistakes in fear of death, but at this moment, this is what I think. ”

You and Hicks are two extremes, he is almost perfect, but he commits unforgivable evils, and you ...... Hopefully, in the future, I won't regret my decision. As for the method of expelling the Dawn, it must be revealed by Edgar's creatures before it can be detected by the law. The God's Domain closes, and the sky-high black pillar gradually brightens, returning to the whiteness of Link's memory, and the abundant power shows that he has won the approval of the Pillar of Earth.

The conversation in the mental space has been for so long, but in reality it is only a blink of an eye.

Link silenced Iris and Hull, who were anxious to verify: "It's not time yet, my friend, you can't say, don't ask, when the time comes, I'll tell you all." ”

Iris and Hull were aware that their bodies were being imprisoned by some kind of power, and the speculation in their minds about whether Link was Befast could no longer be asked, and even the idea was not allowed. By the time they had recovered from their spiritual trance, Link had already turned into a white light and headed east.

Iris, who has stepped down as a child of nature, can only infer from Link's behavior of running away without even saying hello - something may have happened to Xindu.

"The barrier of the new capital has been broken. "If it weren't for the duty of the town guards, Hel would also want to go with him, the Dawn Sect humans are an important combat force to counterattack the undead.

"As long as it's not a divine presence, he should be able to handle it......" Iris murmured almost to himself, "After all, it's a triple incarnation." ”

Turning into the wind, Link truly understands the difference between his new body.

Originally, the use of divine power had to be controlled by the mind, similar to hypnosis or autosuggestion, and after using it, it would produce a strong sense of overdraft. Since he had no faith himself, Link didn't understand what it was like to not be able to ask anyone else. Now, the divine power has truly reached the level of freewheeling, and the changes will follow what you want, and there is no need to suggest yourself. His body was unusually relaxed, and he could even perceive the flow and change of divine power in his body.

Wind, fire, and earth already possessed the power of the three pillars, and Link's confidence was greatly increased.

Even if you have to face the frost and cold in the new world, you won't have the slightest fear, and the Lich Lord is known for his wit and strategy, and his strength is secondary. (To be continued.) )
