Chapter 101: The Entropy of Kings
【West of Aslan Empire, Rennes Sea, Nameless Island】
"But Lotus Spring, there is a very unreasonable place, the smelting process between Siliuer and the island is extremely long, according to the Tianshu Youhua and Qila, Siliuer has disappeared from the eyes of the world in the year when Tianshu Youhua was born, that is, sixteen years ago, this time point should be the beginning of his journey to Eternal Life Island and start smelting. However, at that time, Gilgamesh had not yet succeeded to the throne, and the first-time prince was still a chilla, so strictly speaking, if such a huge and complex hunting plan had been born from that time, then could the silver priest have predicted that Gilgamesh would definitely betray? In that case, why would he let Gilgamesh become a once-time prince?" Yinchen looked at Lianquan and frowned slightly.
"I think that the Silver Priest's decision to sacrifice Siliul to make such a 'prison' may not be aimed at Gilgamesh, but a check and balance mechanism prepared in advance for the soul world, once someone exceeds the critical point of soul power strength, the Silver Priest will activate this captivity plan, but Gilgamesh is the first to reach this critical peak......" Ghost Mountain Lotus Spring replied," replied Ghost Mountain Lotus Spring." Gilgamesh's soul circuit, arguably the pinnacle of any prince that Yaslan has ever seen, was a great success in soul research, but it was also a serious mistake on the part of the Silver Priests - they had created a soul circuit that was superior to all existing and possessed almost god-level power, and the Silver Priests themselves were not sure that they would be able to completely suppress it so that it would not get out of control, and if necessary, liquidate it. The strength of Gilgamesh has caused a serious imbalance, this imbalance is not only a threat to the Silver Priest, but also a threat to the whole world, the appearance of Gilgamesh has made the [entropy] of the Odin continent suddenly increase, thus accelerating the process of bringing this world to the end of 'complete death and no return'......"
"What do you mean......" Yinchen looked at Lianquan, many clues in his mind that had been broken were gradually connected, as if the golden silk thread was getting clearer and clearer, and it clearly pointed to a secret sealed in the dark......
"The total amount of golden soul mist in this world is limited, and when one day all the golden soul mist is consumed, this world will return to the primitive dead silence, and return to the desolate world where there are no silver priests and no soul arts...... This is something that the Silver Priests absolutely do not want to happen, or rather, this is a doomed end that the Silver Priests are desperately postponing ......"
"But isn't this a contradiction? If the Silver Priest wants to control the consumption of the Golden Soul Mist, then why should so many Princes be born? Give so many Princes different talents? Those soul magicians have no one to supervise the consumption of soul power at all, and the consumption of the Golden Soul Mist by countless massive soul beasts is also immeasurable, won't this accelerate the decline of this world?"
"Ordinary soul magicians and soul beasts, their consumption of golden soul mist is very weak, compared to the prince's apostles, it is basically negligible, they are that long list of zeros, no matter how many zeros there are, it is meaningless, but once there is an extra 'one' in front of this string of zeros, then this number will be instantly enlarged...... Seven Princes, Nine Apostles, and Four Great Soul Beasts...... All beings with limited numerical numbers are 'one' in this world, and all the rest are 'zero'. All the 'ones' are carefully calculated and carefully balanced, one is not more, one is not less, and the Silver Priests have taken great pains to keep the world's entropy in an optimal and weak balance: not to let the world go to destruction quickly, but not to let the world lose its rightful power—the power that can be used by them, and with the help of which they need to transform the world and accomplish their plans. They have already calculated an accurate end for this world, and before this end comes, they will be able to have no more and no less time to complete their ultimate goal......" Ghost Mountain Lotus Spring looked at the surprised silver dust on his face, paused, and then continued, "So, at the same time as creating this one-time prince, they have already prepared such a ' Prison', in case one day he loses control of Gilgamesh, can be used to suppress and seal him - but an accidental incident forced the Silver Priest to decide to carry out this plan in advance......"
Silver Dust's eyes flickered, trying to control his emotions, but he couldn't hide the shock that was churning in his heart.
"What's the matter?" asked Silver Dust.
"For some reason, Gilgamesh actually got the Horcrux [Wheel of Judgment] in the Soul Mound. Lianquan replied.
“...... I've followed Gilgamesh for so many years, and I've never seen him use a Horcrux, what is this Wheel of Judgment, and why must I be hunted when I get it?" asked Silver Dust.
"The talent and soul power brought by Gilgamesh's soul circuit are far beyond the control of the Silver Priest, and Gilgamesh, who has obtained the Wheel of Judgment, is already superior to the Silver Priest. ”
"What kind of Horcrux is the Wheel of Judgment?"
"Our Horcruxes were all born in the Soul Mound, the four countries on the Odin Continent each have their own Soul Mound, and the four empires have different attributes, so the Horcrux attributes produced in the Soul Mound are also different. For example, in Yaslan's Soul Tsuka, you can't find a [Fire Attribute] Horcrux from it, all Horcruxes born in Yaslan's Soul Tsukasa are [Water Attribute], the difference is only in strength and weakness, or attack and defense. ”
"Well, I know that. ”
"Well, that's the problem. Ghost Mountain Lotus Spring continued, "Now the four countries on the Odin Continent, each country has three silver priests, a total of twelve. They and we are actually from different worlds, and you can understand that they are from the divine realm, and that's what they call themselves - the Twelve Heavenly Gods. There are twelve of them, namely the god of wisdom, the god of power, the god of the sea, the god of the sky, the god of the earth, the god of fire, the god of dreams, the god of death, the god of life, the god of time, the god of light, and the god of darkness. And each of them has their own saber, and each saber has a unique and powerful power. These twelve gods and swords, when combined, are the wheel of judgment. Therefore, the wheel of judgment has no attributes, it has all the attributes, but it does not belong to any of them. Perhaps it was because of Gilgamesh's special talent that his body had all the attributes, but it didn't belong to any attributes, so he summoned the Wheel of Judgment in the Soul Mound, or the Wheel of Judgment chose him. ”
Yinchen looked at the face of the Ghost Mountain Lotus Spring, and the surprise in his heart was like the vast sea in front of him: "How do you know this?"
"What do you say?" Ghost Mountain Lotus Spring didn't look at him, but looked at the black sea in a daze.
“...... That pale boy in the abyssal corridor told you?"
"Hmm. That's why my brother and I believe that he is the Silver Priest. At the mention of her brother, Lianquan's voice choked up slightly.
Silver Dust's gaze softened, "You just said that the Silver Priest has set a countdown to this world, and before that final comes, they will complete their plan, what is this plan?"
"No, in fact, judging from his attitude, he is also very contradictory, and I can clearly feel that there is some reservation in his words. There must be something he doesn't want or dare not mention to us, maybe this is the biggest secret between the Silver Priests, that is, the Twelve Heavenly Gods. His request to us was that we help him find Gilgamesh and free him, and he told us that the place where Gilgamesh was imprisoned was under the island that Cyruel had transformed. The boy said that only Gilgamesh could save the continent. ”
"Save this continent? But according to him, wouldn't Gilgamesh hasten the destruction of this world?Then why would we have to rescue him? What is the purpose of the pale boy?"
"Do you think there is still a so-called balance in the current Yaslan, not only Yaslan, but in the entire Odin Continent, each country has its own secrets and plans, when someone ignores the rules and breaks the balance, the first person to perish must be the one who continues to abide by the rules to maintain balance...... Therefore, no one wants to maintain the so-called equilibrium anymore, even if they know that they are accelerating towards destruction, but no one wants to be the first to be destroyed......"
"You told this to Syruel, right? That's why Syruel decided to sacrifice himself, imprint his soul circuit into your body, and then use his own death to prompt you to become the new Immortal King?"
"Maybe...... But maybe he's tired of eternal life, and I don't think anyone wants to be a seal of immortality all the time. So, he freed himself......"
Silver Dust sat down on the rocks.
The sudden exhaustion, as if a warm spring water surging from the depths of the body, surrounded him. There was a groggy sense of chaos in the brain, like having just gone through an exhausting killing battle.
There was a feeling of imminent collapse.
How many years of confusion, how many years of lonely wandering, searching, and waiting, have all become one flickering secret after another in the starry sky at this moment. Some secrets are lit up, others are still sleeping behind the great dark clouds, and you can faintly see the cold glow from the edges of the clouds, but you can't guess what happened when you look at them.
Silver Dust raised his hand to cover his eyes, but the tears in his fingers were still blown cold by the sea. He didn't make any sound, didn't even move, didn't tremble, he looked like a tired traveler sleeping quietly in his palm.
There was no end in sight to the long darkness, and under the vast starry sky, he suddenly felt so lonely, so small.
The eggshell-like world was suddenly cut open, and then he discovered that beyond the rift, there was an even greater unknown darkness (to be continued). )
