Above the gray mist, Crane leaned back in his chair, took a few deep breaths, and then said to Abner, who looked at him with a smile on the side of the ancient bronze table:

"Is it that fun to let me 'die'?"

At this time, the special "Tarot Society" has ended, and only the two "pillars" of Crane and Abner are left in this ancient palace that seems to be the abode of the gods.

Hearing Crane's question, Abner hooked the corners of his mouth, nodded very "seriously" and said, "For me, it's very interesting!" ”

Crane was speechless for the "honesty" of this bad friend, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It is worthy of the ancient god who fuses the uniqueness of the 'Red Priest'...... Aren't you afraid I'll beat you up right now and record it for your 'friends' to watch?

"You are just an information body here, and there is no room for resistance in front of me now."

As for where Abner's body was and what it was doing, Crane could guess it, but he didn't want to pay attention to it at all.

Abner smiled: "It's like you're not a 'cat and a worm' here......"

Crane's ontology is naturally with Miss "Temperance" at this time.

"Cats and cats...... What the hell is this called? Crane complained, and seeing that he couldn't scare the other party, he asked hatefully, "Speaking of which, what did you play for Sharon alone?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just a dream you had under the erosion of the 'Mother Tree of Desire' in the original book...... Well, you've seen my edit of "Confessions of a Fool" in my kingdom of God before, and you should have an impression of that paragraph...... It fully shows that even in the world without me, you also have a covetous mind for Miss Sharon, and she is very moved when she sees it. Abner said at the end, and even his eyes were bent.

Although there is more than one "heroine" in that dream, Sharon.

Move? Now I'm afraid to move, okay? While Crane was slandering, he glanced at Abner with "disdain", gritted his teeth, and said, "Do I still have to say thank you to you?" ”

"You're welcome, this is what I'm supposed to do." Abner said solemnly.

After the two of them hurt each other for a while, Crane stopped this meaningless bickering, stared at Abner and said, "It seems that even if you become a 'pillar', your humanity is still quite good. ”

Abner kept smiling, but replied in a calm tone, "I'm part of her as a 'human'...... But even so, I have been affected to a considerable extent, so I need 'fun' to consolidate and strengthen my deepest temperament as a 'human'.

"After all, I am the 'Lord of Pleasure and Pleasure.'"

"It's no wonder that this particular tarot seems a little deliberate...... Was it because you were not in a good state at the time and needed to stabilize your humanity with this? Crane asked thoughtfully.

"No......" Abner stretched out his right index finger and shook it, "sincerely", "I just want to see you 'die'." ”

Hearing this, Crane froze for a moment, and his fists were clenched.

"It's worthy of the old days that contained the uniqueness of the 'Red Priest', and I admit your provocative ability." After a long while, Crane sighed again.

Abner shook his head again and said, "In fact, I don't have the uniqueness of the 'Red Priest' anymore...... At the moment of the fulfillment of the old, a new pillar of 'the beginning of desire, the beginning of destruction, the origin of the fallen, the symbol of the unknown, the tower that guides all things' is born, and then the new essentia 'tower of the fallen' and the extraordinary characteristics of the three paths of 'lighthouse', 'blasphemous priest', and 'lawyer'.

"And the three parts of uniqueness that I originally fused when I was an ancient god, the nine parts of the sequence 1 characteristics of different pathways, and the three 'essentia' have all returned to the earth."

Crane frowned, and only asked after a long time, "The scene when you achieved the 'pillar' is not in the 'fog of history', I can't see it...... However, because the characteristics of the three pathways below sequence 1 are scattered throughout the universe, I can learn some information...... The scope of their authority roughly corresponds to that of your three ancient gods......

"What the hell is going on with this 'unknown' pillar? Why is it that new pathways and essentia are born, even so similar to the 'old days' you have pieced together? ”

Seeing the question, Abner did not answer immediately, but asked rhetorically: "You should know that the concept of 'unknown' was 'initially' created when he saw 'Liu Bo' crossing, right?" ”

"Yes." Crane nodded, having had contact with the "Tianzun", he naturally got a lot of "knowledge" from the "Tianzun".

And "Tianzun" is one of the "original" personalities, and it is not wrong to say that she is "original".

"In fact, the moment I saw 'Liu Bo' at the 'beginning', the old days of 'unknown' were already born.

"She is composed of two parts: the symbol and authority given by the 'initial', and the incomprehensible power of the 'initial' brought back by 'Liu Bo' from Gaowei.

"Because it is 'unknown', this old day is like 'Schrödinger's cat', and all attributes such as pathways, essentia, and even the scope of authority are 'unknown', and she can even be regarded as non-existent.

"But this 'pillar' essentially represents the process of struggle and integration between 'Initial' and 'Liu Bo', so the successive generations of 'Liu Bo' before the 'God of Luck' will collect extraordinary ways and essentia, so that authority and symbolism can be closer to this essence...... Because once you piece together the old days with similar concepts, you can take the lead in tilting the 'unknown pillars' to your side and gain this power.

"To put it simply, whoever gets close to the essence of the 'unknown pillar' first gets this 'pillar' and makes it his own 'shape'.

"Of course, this 'who' is limited to 'me' and 'Liu Bo', and outsiders can't get close to it, or even can't get close at all, because they can't withstand the power from the real high dimension.

"So, after I contained the three ancient gods and the three essentia and became the old ones in one fell swoop, the 'Unknown Pillar' gave birth to those three pathways and essentia in my 'shape' and fused perfectly with me.

"At the same time, the essentia and properties that I had previously contained were naturally discharged on their own."

Explaining this, Abner organized the following sentence and continued, "If there is no betrayal of the 'God of Luck', once 'Liu Bo', who secretly controls the 'Primal Hunger', wakes up, I am afraid that he will be able to choose from many 'ingredients' at will like eating a 'buffet', so as to achieve the effect of being close to the 'unknown' and instantly possess the top power in this universe......

"Although, that's not what she wants."

Hearing Abner's last exclamation, although Crane didn't quite understand, he didn't rush to ask, but nodded abruptly and said:

"It's no wonder that 'Lighthouse', 'Blasphemy Priest', and 'Lawgiver' basically correspond to your original 'God of Truth', 'Demon Emperor', and 'God of War and Destruction', and they were originally generated based on them.

"Well, it's just that the authority of these three adjacent pathways is slightly crossed compared to the original, and the symbol of 'unknown' has been added."

Hearing his words, Abner smiled and continued: "The 'lighthouse' path begins with the sequence of 'guides' or 'guides', which reflects the 'initial' exploration and understanding of the 'unknown' forces.

"The 'blasphemy of the priesthood' is actually the 'beginning' of the path...... She started with the 'servant' and gradually approached the 'unknown' power from outside, which was a blasphemy against the 'original'...... So, this path is a reflection of the erosion of the 'original' divinity by the 'unknown' forces.

"Whether it is the exploration of the 'unknown' at the beginning, or the erosion of the 'unknown' on the 'initial', there will be a day when the 'winner will be separated'.

"When the time comes, whether the 'first' fully understands the 'unknown', or the 'unknown' power completely erodes the 'original' divinity, it means that the two will eventually merge, and then destroy the old era and open up the fate of the new universe...... It's inevitable!

"This fate, which represents the inevitable end of the universe due to the fusion of the 'unknown' and the 'primordial', is the symbol of the third way, the 'lawgiver' under the 'tower'.

"The 'Lawgiver' starts with the sequence of 'Ranger', which is both the defender and the destroyer of the current system, and also implies the 'mission' of destroying the 'old rules' and opening up the 'new rules'.

"All in all, the beginning of the 'lighthouse', 'blasphemy priest', 'law' as a pillar' of desire, the beginning of destruction, the origin of the fall, the unknown symbol, the way to guide the subordinates of the tower of all things, still reflects the current situation and future of the struggle between 'the original' and 'Liu Bo'...... It is also the essence of the 'Unknown Pillars'. ”

And the name "Lawgiver" is naturally also a meme played by Abner, after all, in a certain game, "Lawr" originally represents "the will of the unfathomable God", and is the messenger of the "Honkai" world, which is more consistent with the state of "unknown" and "the end of the world".

"I see...... The so-called pillar 'tower' is the process of being tempted by 'desire', contacting with the 'unknown', and gradually 'falling', leading to 'destruction', destroying the old 'tower', and finally exploring a new path and rebuilding a new 'tower'......" As he spoke, Crane suddenly chuckled and laughed at himself, "Heh, I am now also relying on the power of the 'unknown' to resist the pollution of the revival of the 'Tianzun', and in the 'original' opinion, I was also tempted by 'desire' and began to 'fall', right?" ”

"Whether it is 'degenerate' or not depends on whether the future wins 'initially' or whether the 'unknown' forces win...... However, they are still in a stalemate, and both 'erosion' and 'exploration' are progressing slowly, and according to my calculations, it will take at least a few dozen or hundreds of 'initial' sit-ups to get the initial results.

"During this period, I don't know how many times the 'universe' will be destroyed, so there is no need to worry about that for the time being."

Although this may be a matter of sleeping for "initially", in the eyes of the "young" old days like Abner and Crane, the process of dozens of universes breaking and restarting "trillions of years" is just a basic unit, and it is really a long enough time to be called "eternal".

"Speaking of which, the symbol of the pillar of 'the beginning of desire, the beginning of destruction, the origin of the fall, the symbol of the unknown, the tower that guides all things' is almost the same as the positive interpretation of the 'tower' card in the tarot, and you may have been destined to become this 'pillar' when you chose the 'tower' card as your code name." Crane quipped with a laugh.

"On the contrary, it was my appearance that broke the 'ring' of fate." Abner shook his head solemnly.

"How?" As the "quasi-master of mysteries", Crane has observed something, but he can't get the full picture.

"According to the established fate, it should have been 'Liu Bo' who won the victory, and spelled out the 'unknown pillar' based on the three old days of 'Circle of Fate', 'Primordial Hunger', and 'Declining King', and then fused the will and authority of the 'High-Dimensional Lookdown' to go to the real 'High-Dimensional'.

"It's going to happen...... Because our universe and the 'high-dimensional universe' that 'Liu Bo' went to, because of the power from the 'Circle of Fate' she brought, came into contact with the so-called 'chance', and were surrounded by a more high-end 'fate' into a 'ring'.

"This is the power of the 'Circle of Fate' after sublimation in the 'high-dimensional' environment.

"In general, it is the 'high-dimensional overlooker' and the 'unknown pillar' who fused and ascended to the high-dimensional world where the reader 'Liu Bo' was located and merged with it, and then tens of thousands of years later, because of the encounter with a strong enemy, he was seriously injured and reduced back to the 'original' awakening of our universe......"

Crane had already understood when he heard this, so he continued: "Then, she became the 'Unknown Pillar' again, fused with the will of the 'High-Dimensional Overlooker', and ascended to the high-dimensional world where the same 'Liu Bo' is located...... And then, and again?

"Tsk, this is a bit like my 'grafting'."

"Yes, this has become a ring of 'fate', which cannot be changed at all, it can only be cycled over and over again...... And any of her actions that do not conform to the 'ring' will be corrected back by 'fate', which has no meaning...... For her, this is like a 'sea of suffering', she knows everything, but she can only watch herself repeat the same mistakes over and over again in this cycle.

"But she can only blame herself, after all, she fell into such a situation when she was competing for the so-called 'opportunity' to go further." Abner shook his head when he said this, deeply feeling that the "Liu Bo" after the age of thirty in the high-dimensional world was definitely the "high-dimensional overlooker" who was in charge, and if it was himself, he would definitely not take great risks to fight for the so-called "opportunity".

Seeing that this topic was getting heavier and heavier, in order to ease the atmosphere, Crane asked instead, "What about ...... Is the 'Liu Bo' who was sleeping before the reader Liu Bo or the 'high-dimensional overlooker'? ”

"It's a question of the egg or the chicken...... However, I prefer the fusion of 'high-dimensional overlooker' and 'Liu Bo'...... But this time, when she got rid of the 'ring' and finally 'ascended', she left the part that was 'Liu Bo' and the 'unknown land' that contained the power of that high-dimensional world to me, so as not to 'ascend' to the high-dimensional world with 'Liu Bo' again. Abner explained with a smile.

"Then how did she break the 'ring' of fate this time?" Crane asked thoughtfully.

Abner spread his hands and said, "Maybe it's an accident that has accumulated over many cycles...... Perhaps it was because she gradually understood this higher-end 'fate' power, found a flaw, and crossed the 'sea of suffering'...... I don't know why, but it turned out that I defeated her and became the 'Pillar of the Unknown'!

"And the fact that I have succeeded in becoming a 'pillar' means that she can no longer approach the 'unknown pillar' with the 'Circle of Fate' and other three old days, and she will not be able to bring the authority generated from the 'Circle of Fate' to the higher dimensions...... And without the basic conditions for the sublimation of the power of the 'Ring of Fate' in the high dimension, the 'Ring' will naturally be 'broken'.

"And because she was worried that the 'ring' might correct itself, after 'losing', she immediately fused with the 'high-dimensional overlooker' and ascended to other 'high-dimensional' universes, so that she could completely get rid of the limitations of the 'ring'."

"She doesn't need to be a 'pillar' to 'ascend'? Even the former power was left behind? Crane thought for a moment and made a judgment, "So it seems that she is indeed trying her best to understand the power of this 'ring' in the continuous cycle, and your success may not be an accident......

"That's what I thought too...... She should have reached the 'realm', and maybe she would be able to get out of it by herself after a few more cycles...... But obviously she doesn't have that patience anymore, after all, I won this time very riskily, and without the trace of 'unknown' power that I can control in the end, I am afraid it will still be a failure. Abner bowed slightly.

"When the opportunity arises, it is natural to fight." After figuring out what was going on, Crane stopped talking about it, he looked at Abner and said angrily, "So, are you now a complete pillar, or am I the one who has the most credit?" And then you reciprocated me with the pleasure of watching me? ”

"How so?" At this time, Abner stood up and said mysteriously, "I have just made a birthday present for you...... Want to check it out? ”

Crane stared into Abner's eyes for a few seconds, then took out the pendulum in front of him for a moment......

Although this is completely useless.

A moment later, the two of them passed through the "dimensional passage" and entered a "low-dimensional world", where high-rise buildings and bright lights were the standard night scene in the bustling city of the pre-First Age.

"This is ......" Crane stood high in the air, reluctant to look away.

"This is a 'parallel world' that evolved from the information of the earth that was devoured by the 'primordial hunger' at that time...... Although I can't go back, I can find some memories here. Abner said, pointing to a neighborhood in the city below.

It was Zhou Mingrui's former home.

Crane stared at it as well, and only after a long time did he ask, as if changing the subject, "The famous 'missing 20 seconds' incident?" ”

A few days before Zhou Mingrui bought the vertical version of the "Minutes of the Qin and Han Secret Traditions", someone found that the global time seemed to have been lost by 20 seconds through the observation of the orbit of the celestial body...... This caused a lot of noise in astronomical circles and on the Internet, but it did not affect the lives of ordinary people.

"Yes." Abner nodded.

The "primordial hunger" who came to Earth for some unknown reason used the authority of a "collector" to "buy" twenty seconds of information on the earth's surface.

"It turned out to be the power of 'primordial hunger'...... Since she is willing to give you this 'collection', is it because you have lifted your grip on her? Crane asked.

After "Liu Bo" and "High-Dimensional Overlooker" left, control of "Primal Hunger" naturally shifted to Abner's hands.

"I have to wait a little longer...... 'Fallen Mother Goddess' and 'Mother Tree of Desire' don't know what the birth of the 'Tower' means, and they still feel that they have a chance to ......"

Abner didn't say much about how he dealt with the "original hunger", he replied briefly, and then pointed to the community below:

"Why don't you take Miss Sharon to visit your parents?

"Although they are only 'low-dimensional worlds', they are all the continuation of the 'missing 20 seconds' on another fate line, and they are essentially no different from your parents."

Crane's lips moved, and he didn't run away any longer, and nodded earnestly:

"Thank you for this birthday present...... I love it! ”
