Being above the sky is the final step of becoming a god, which is the world's understanding of the 'ladder of heaven'. However, Link, who has actually been there www.biquge.info knows that the so-called ladder of heaven is nothing more than a misinterpretation of mortals, it is just a special space, like the spiritual world, between the material realm and the heavenly realm where the gods are located.

It stands to reason that Bray can't know Link's true identity, let alone intercept him who is already a spirit body.

In the face of the great sage who can be canonized as long as he obtains the godhead, Link does not dare to be the slightest slack, let alone relax his vigilance because of the other party and his own karma. As the truth of history was redefined again and again, he was no longer so sure of the real reason why Bray was stranded in the material world.

In the Earth Illusion, the reason why Bray is not a god is that the pillar of water in charge of magic is polluted, which also causes the goddess of magic to be eroded, and only by returning to the past time and space to obtain the untainted source of magic can he avoid the same fate as Lorelei. As for the real Edgar, who was forty years later than the game time, the reason why Bray didn't become a god became that he didn't want to help the abuse, and became a puppet of the goddess of magic to absorb divine power. Although there are considerable differences in the specific details, the cause and effect remain the same, and the key decisive factor is Link. This made him have to be alert, perhaps, the truth that concealed the past was neither what the history books depicted, nor what he knew......

Sure enough, as soon as Bray opened his mouth, Link's head was bigger.

"This isn't the first time we've met, Time Traveler from nowhere. ”

Can he not mention time, doesn't he know that the law is omniscient and omnipresent? Like this, without any concealment, it is no less than holding a megaphone and shouting: There is a time traveler here!

[At this moment, we are meeting for the first time] The spirit body could not speak, but Link's thoughts were still smoothly conveyed to Bray's mind. Causally and causally, he wasn't lying, and it was indeed their first meeting in the past plane. The use of the word 'here and now' is exactly what Link is alluding to Bray.

"I see...... "Sensing the unhappiness of the mysterious spirit body, Bray smiled, waved his big hand, and dragged it into his own mental space, and the original smoke-like mass turned into a human form with a rough form in the world constructed by the spirit.

In this regard, instead of panicking, Link breathed a sigh of relief. It is only in this absolute private realm that what is said will not be perceived by the law.

[Say, you deliberately blocked my intentions. 】

"Who are you, where did you come from, why did the First choose you, and what is the purpose of coming to this plane?"

Bray asked four questions in one breath, and Link was extremely glad that he was a spirit at the moment, and he didn't dare to guarantee that he wouldn't make a mistake in front of the shrewd sage. He hadn't had any contact with Hohenheim since he came to this time, and he tried to keep it as mysterious as possible to the outside world, but Bray was so easy to judge that he was traveling through time and space...... Will others be able to guess that Edgar has only two gods of time and space, light and dark, and now that the night has been banished, only Dawn is left to do this.

Thinking of this, Link, who had always been loose and large, also became nervous.

"There's no need to panic, I'm not hostile. Of course, this is only relativity, and if you don't make your purpose clear, I'll let you experience for yourself how powerful Edgar's laws are. Bray smiled, but behind his calm expression was an undisguised threat.

If Link doesn't explain where he came from, then what awaits him is not just expulsion, but even the fate of Dawn and the future......

Instinctively emanating from his thoughts, Link paused, annoyed at his self-disordered: "I am ...... A lifeweaver from another world. Until you figure out Bray's intentions, you can't just pick out your identity, after all, Bray can't know his identity through foresight, and the only advantage of the Weaver finally plays a key role at the critical moment.

Bray squinted, his sharp eyes tinged with a hint of displeasure, "Of course I know you're a life weaver, don't go around in circles anymore." ”

[How do I know if you are friend or foe?Can you be trusted?In case I tell you everything, you still use the law to drive me away?]

Bray was silent for a moment, then raised his hand to his chest and swore in the manner of a mage: "In the name of the goddess of magic, as long as you tell the truth about your purpose, I will not divulge half a sentence." ”

Seeing Bray so cunning, Link became more cautious.

[Swear by a god who you no longer believe in, and you are not afraid of divine punishment. Swear by your own seal of wisdom that I will trust you. 】

Now, it was Bray's turn to change his face. Born at the end of the Silver Age, he was not only the founder of Hohenheim, but also one of the founding heroes of the human empire, and has been the strongest in the material world for thousands of years as the great sage, and there are hundreds of stories and legends about him, but no one knows that he no longer believes in the goddess of magic. No matter how weak Luo Relei is, after all, he is one of the main gods in charge of the power of phenomena, and he is also the source of magic in the material world.

Bray slowly lowered his arm in his heart, thinking hard.

Who is this spirit body that doesn't even have a form?!

Is it the past or the future?

Ortega brought back too little information, and after pondering for a long time, he only deduced that the child of nature named 'Befast' was a time traveler, as for his original identity...... This guy is so well disguised that he has been acting like he has no desires, and he can't guess the prototype at all.

The selection of the child of nature by the pillar is extremely harsh, and the original identity of the traverser must also be the child of nature, and it is deeply respected by the pillar. After all, since Hicks, the pillar has not chosen a human, and even the apostles chosen from the direct elementals have never reached that height.

Bray didn't dare to say that he knew everything about the past, and he wouldn't be so stupid that he didn't know when an incarnate-level child of nature would emerge. What's more, he knew all the previous children of nature of the Pillar of Earth, and the one in front of him was ...... Bray dared to pack a ticket, he had never seen it. Although, he has an inexplicable familiarity with this guy.

Seeing the clock tick by, Bray had to bet on the more likely 'future'.

The seal of wisdom appeared, and the great sage who was wrapped in it repeated his previous oath word by word, and Link answered the other party's question.

[My name is Link, a timeline from the future, a lifeweaver summoned by the pillar from the other world in order to save the end of Edgar's downfall. 】

Future, Lifeweaver, Child of Nature......

Bray also felt that his head was big, he just wanted to know about the pillar's plan, to see if he could get the opportunity to become a god from it, but he never expected to know such a shocking plan.

Five of the first generation actually participated in reversing time and space, and the price was inevitably too great, in case it failed...... Is the future really bad enough for the first generations to gamble on it?

After the initial temptation, seeing that Bray did not say anything more, and fearing that the future of returning would be blocked, Link had to take a stand first.

[I have a way to fulfill your long-cherished wish for a thousand years. 】

"Oh~" This guy actually knows my intentions? Bray didn't answer immediately, "Do you know my true wishes?"

[Not really.] This is the third time we've met in different timelines, and the first two times you were able to complete the gods with my help. No matter which Bray is showing, all that is shown is the desire to be a god, and Link naturally hopes that the same is true for the one in front of him, seeing that the other party's eyes lit up, Link knew that he had made the right bet.

"So...... Do you know why I couldn't complete the final step of becoming a god?"

The Great Sage's question made Link secretly surprised, isn't the reason why Bray can't be canonized as a god is because he is afraid of being eroded?

[You don't know?]

"The goddess of magic has gone berserk with erosion, and the ladder through which she descends has long since been broken. ”

Link wondered why Bray looked like he didn't know anything, and he wasn't sure if the other party really didn't know, or if he was deliberately disguised.

[So, do you know the erosion of Luo...... What is it about the goddess of magic that drives her mad?]

Bray was silent for a moment and then slowly shook his head: "Although I am known as the strongest in the material world by the world, I am only a human being. It is impossible to touch the secrets of the ancients, and besides, the gods have always been strict about the blockade of the elemental world, and even the mages have become worse and worse in perception. ”

The material world is completely ignorant of the calamities caused by the war of the gods, and Link doesn't know if he should tell what he knows.

"You seem to know ......," Bray said tentatively, "the mental space is the only place where you can isolate the law, and here, you can speak freely. ”

Link was a little shaken, if he really didn't know anything about matter before, then it was possible for him to planeswalk...... No, in the future timeline, this is already an open secret, and perhaps it was this time that it was spread through him, just as Hicks traveled through time and space, changing the outcome of the War of the Gods.

Thinking of this, Link made up his mind.

[The Pillar of Water has been polluted by the Grim Reaper through the undead, and the Goddess of Magic under its jurisdiction certainly can't escape the erosion, even if you cross the ladder, you can't escape the puppet of the Goddess of Magic who absorbs the faith of the material world. 】

Bray's hands tightened in his sleeves sharply.

Can you believe what he says?

The pillar of water is polluted?

The goddess of magic is thus eroded?

"How can I believe that you are not deliberately making up these claims to deceive me?"

[You can see for yourself, words lie, memory does not falsify. 】

Link took a stance, and Bray hesitated, but leaned over. The moment I touched it, a lot of memories swarmed in. The selection of the columns, the old feud with the frost, the successive tests, Orlando, Lorelei, the twins...... The faces and fates of many mission-critical missions are gone in a flash. Bray hurriedly let go, the information was too complicated, even he couldn't accept so much for a while.

Although the contact time is short, it can reveal key information that Link has shown to Bray, and it depends on what choice he makes.

Stroking the corners of his forehead, Bray began to regret his actions this time, the battle of the gods, the determination of the pillar, these are not something that he can mix with a little human who has not yet become a god, but the matter has come to this point, and there is no way back.

[If you want to become a god, there is only one way to go. Get rid of the goddess of magic and replace it yourself. 】

"Since the pillar of water, which is the source of magical power, has been polluted and cannot obtain divine power from it, I cannot perform miracles, how can there be believers?"

[On your own, divine power does not necessarily depend on higher gods, you can try to absorb faith by yourself, just like a mage draws magical energy from the elements. Link used Bray's future approach as an example.

After a long silence, Bray slowly replied: "In exchange, what do you want?"

[I need your help in the future timeline, I have just arrived in Edgar and have not yet grown, surrounded by strong enemies, if I die before I am fully approved by the pillar, I will not have the time and space at this moment, and my fate will follow the original trajectory towards final destruction. This is not Link's alarmism, Hicks is the first change made by the first generation to change the fate of Edgar's destruction, and the one who made history with his own hands has pushed the fate he saved to the other extreme.

"It's as simple as that?"

[It's not simple at all, you need to withstand the prying eyes and secret stumbling blocks from many gods, and if you make a mistake, the world may be destroyed, do you dare to take this risk?]

"Well, I need to make a little marker. After all, you are a soul now, and I don't know your physical body in the future timeline. In Bray's eyes, Link's soul took on the form of a strong humanoid blazing light, and he couldn't see it at all. And with the flesh and blood shell, it is even more difficult to distinguish.

[I'm about to travel through time and space, will this ......]

"It won't have any effect, it's just a mark that belongs to me, and I can sense your presence for the first time. What's more, my little power is nothing compared to divine power, isn't it?" Bray's last sentence dispelled Link's concerns.

A trace of foreign power burrowed into the soul, and there was nothing abnormal except for the initial discomfort.

As soon as the mental space was withdrawn, Link's soul disappeared from Bray's face, and along with his sigil, the space could no longer be felt.

"The situation in the future is really bad......" For the fragments that he spied into the future that belonged to the future, Bray frowned deeply, now that he knew, then he had to prepare early.

In the void, there are powerful soul energy that has failed to travel through space, and there are also gods who have long been annihilated and only have their bodies left, their power attacks from all directions, tearing Link's fragile soul body, making him like a lonely boat in a raging storm, which may capsize at any time, the only thing that connects him with the material world is the power from the dawn, relying on the traction of this line, after an almost long and endless torment, Link finally returned to the original timeline - the corroded pillar of the earth is holding a giant horn against his forehead that no longer shines. A power hidden in his soul slanted out, summoning the remnants of the flow of life flowing down the contact point into the concrete form of the pillar of the earth, and the giant deer, which had been completely black, washed away the darkness covering its body as if it had been splashed with water.
