Chapter 40: The Connection Between Past and Future (2)

Although the explanation given by the Pillar of Earth is barely clear, Link still has a lot of unanswered questions. For example www.biquge.info he learned from the Wind Pillar that Hicks was one of the first humans and the first children of nature, using the power of the Four Pillars to become a god. How did he get to the Pillar of Earth and become a person who was sent back to the future of the past plane by the Goddess of Chaos at the expense of being banished?Even if what the Pillar of Earth said was true, why did Gaรงos lie? As a god and the strongest primordial, there is no such thing as being predicted by the law of cause and effect and other gods, is it necessary to be so careful?

Link was still suspicious, and the Pillar of Earth on the other side had stopped giving him a chance to ask any more questions, and the originally gentle fluorescence suddenly turned into a powerful power that even he couldn't resist as a child of nature.

[This is the end of the puzzle, the apostle from a certain node in the future, only by giving an answer that convinces me, I will recognize you and give you power. The white deer, which is as tall as a person, rises suddenly, and the energy contained in it can crush Link with a slight press.

"After reading my memories, isn't my choice, my will not clear enough?

[Compared with the ambitious Hicks, you who have no desires are more terrifying. Isol gives a reason that makes Link stunned - noble desirelessness will ******** become a more devastating nothingness than death, and the ultimate culprit in the destruction of countless worlds.

Link couldn't slow down for a long time, not because he couldn't understand the words of the Pillar of Earth, but because he couldn't associate the shattered nothingness with himself. He had more or less realized that since he came to Edgar, he had lacked curiosity about new things, the yearning for power and wealth, the emotional and physical needs, all of which he should have as a normal human being and as a young man, all of which were gone, and all that was left was the obsession of defeating death.

"Yes...... Aren't you the ones who caused this? You secretly changed my character...... No, it should be said that you are the ones who take away the emotions, desires, and feelings that normal people should have. I'm going to be the one I'm not interested in anything, isn't it because of the column?" Link couldn't help but defend himself.

[Is that really the case?]

"What do you mean?" Link's pressure doubled as he stared at the darkness of his eyes.

Although the power of God is strong, it cannot change people's hearts. Just as you have emphasized to others countless times, the person who finally makes the choice is yourself. External factors are of course irresistible, but the person who ultimately makes the decision is you. ใ€‘

Link involuntarily took a few steps back: "You mean ......"

No, it can't be...... I'm just an ordinary person who can't do it......

[Fearing to make a mistake, for fear of creating an irreparable situation, you subconsciously close all desires, force yourself to cut off all emotions, and only aim to fight Hicks and the immortal empire he created in the material realm. ใ€‘

Those behaviors that seemed incomprehensible to outsiders finally found an answer, Link smiled helplessly, although he didn't want to admit it, it was really like what he would do.

"I can't guarantee the answer you want. I am a human being, and in the eyes of the gods, I am vulnerable to both spirit and body, and I have no combat power, and even if I am chosen as an apostle, I will quickly consume my divine grace due to the short life span of my life. After taking a deep breath, Link said the second half: "Yes, I subconsciously forced myself to have no desires because I was worried about incompetence, but this is also my choice, it is my own decision, and I will never regret it." If you don't feel at ease, then take a part of my soul as a safeguard, just like Kaogo. Even if I become another Hicks in the future, or become what you call nothingness, the loss of my soul will inevitably become a fatal point. โ€

Isol, who came into contact with Link for the first time, was also shocked by his words and deeds, even if he looked at his memory, he didn't expect this final fit to be so ...... Audacity is not enough. The other messengers trembled and revered in the face of the gods they believed in, but he was good, not only did he not have any respect, but he also spat out wild words.

[I suddenly understood why the grumpy Kaogo was so quick to accept you as an apostle. Although I subconsciously suppress myself, the straightforwardness in my personality has not changed much. Fortunately, it was such a ...... with a pure nature who was chosen]

Thinking of the last apostle who had been unanimously affirmed, Isol's peaceful mood inevitably fluctuated.

Wasn't Hicks also expected to have high hopes in the past? Compared to this one, who was full of shortcomings, he was the perfect spokesman, and all the words used to describe beauty could be applied to Hicks, but what happened? After witnessing the terrible war of the gods, he turned himself into another catastrophe that should have turned the end around.

Isol didn't want to take the risk, but Edgar was running out of time. The extinction caused by Hicks is continuing to spread, and if it fails again this time, what awaits this world will be a complete extinction of life, and as a god in charge of life, he does not want to make such a decision unless he has to. If successful, the lifeweaver from the other world will also become the last child of nature to wield the power of the four pillars at the same time, and Hicks's mistake cannot be repeated.

[Verbal vows mean nothing, and I will take one-third of your soul in exchange.] Isol lowered the antlers again, and the moment he touched his forehead, Link felt that something had been stripped away, and subconsciously grabbed it in the air with his hand, but in vain he caught nothing.

This wasn't the first time he had been split by a soul, the Pillar of Wind and the Pillar of Fire had both adopted the same strategy. Having experienced Hicks' rebellion and its ensuing consequences, Link's actions were expected, and he had no complaints.

[Willing to split the soul, do you know that once the soul is split, it will never be able to connect back?]

"The first time I heard that I wasn't a very strong-willed person, it was better for me to have constraints. At the very least, when faced with other gods lobbying me to rebel, I can openly show that I have taken part of my soul as a constraint by the pillar, and I don't have to worry about making excuses anymore. Link had been warned by Lorelei to be cautious about splitting souls, but he believed that his faithless self might one day be unable to resist the temptation to escalate more and more, and only a part of his soul in the hands of the pillar could fundamentally curb the possibility of rebellion.

[What a strange person...... The time of the flow of life is almost over, is there anything else to ask?]

Link opened his mouth and finally said nothing.

Originally, he wanted to tell the Pillars of Earth about the future wars and how strong the undead were going south, but after knowing that Hicks was the man of the future, he gave up on the idea.

There are thousands of paths ahead, and the different fates of choices will also change. That's why Dawn has repeatedly warned that you only need to know what happened back then, and you don't need to do anything superfluous.

Just to let me know the truth, even the morning light was banished, is this price too great?

[Bound by the law, even the gods cannot easily change time and space. All we can tell you is the history of what happened after he reversed time and space. Only when you are strong enough to shoulder the heavy responsibility, another Ilias with the power of time will risk sending the last hope back to the moment. ใ€‘

Link's eyes widened as the stream of life faded.

Only now did he understand why Dawn had sent him to this plane.

In another timeline, humanity's Hicks is chosen, and this is the node that changes fate. Beyond that, Hicks' true identity is a secret that even the gods can't tell.

Is that so? Isol?

Who the hell is Hicks?Frost, Julian?Gonzalez?or someone else I know?

The power of the Pillar of Earth was injected into Link's body through the large white horns, and the swollen divine power almost burst his body, and when his consciousness was in a trance, Link vaguely felt the last spirit of Isol.

[You have no intersection, in your time, he has long been a god. In his timeline, you didn't exist. The criss-crossing fates are gathered here, you from the future have brought history that has never happened in my timeline, and you have received from me that even the gods cannot tell secrets, which is the true purpose of Ilias to send you here even if you are expelled. Summoning the flow of life will drain all your divine powers, but you are not from this world, and with my approval, you will be the last child of nature to possess the power of all four pillars in the future. The people of the other world, who connect the past and the future in different time and space, sincerely hope that you can fulfill your vow, otherwise this world will go to the end of all timelines - destruction. ใ€‘

Aking from a brief coma, Link's first sights were the dwarf Dent and the angry Julian, who was clutching at the hem of his clothes. After moving his hands and feet a little, his body, which originally had no weight, was extremely heavy, and he couldn't feel a trace of divine power. Indeed, as the Pillar of the Earth says, it is depleted by the summoning of the flow of life. Think about it, the flow of life is a collection of Edgar's life, even if the help of the Pillar of the Earth is successfully summoned, how can it be without loss, and other divine envoys perform similar magic at the cost of life.

After thinking about the cause and effect, Link's last doubts and confusion were also put down. After answering the dwarf's question, he walked in the direction he had evacuated. Dante and Orlando, who had been stunned, glanced at each other and hurriedly chased after them, and the other surviving soldiers followed suit, and from time to time someone looked back at Julian who was standing in the ruins, and did not understand why he had not left, but no one stepped forward to ask, and they were all apprehensive about the crazy appearance of the Dawn Knight who had grabbed the child of nature and yelled.
