Chapter 15: Past and Future
As a resident of Black Mist City, who struggles with crises all day long, always strives for survival, and lives in a city of indifference and betrayal, Li Mo looks at things and does not believe in the gorgeous praise or harsh criticism attached to it.
He has a simple set of judging principles: what stands the test is valuable.
In the poisonous pool, Li Mo, just like his name, endured dozens of organ decomposition and reorganization without saying a word, each time it was a pain like a burning knife, and he survived it with his strong will and pain tolerance beyond ordinary people.
He knew the horror of the poison pool, and the poison pool that the knife fell into in an unknown year and month was still intact when he took it out. For him, it has proven its worth.
Li Mo looked at this ordinary style knife and believed in his heart that one day, this knife would show its true face to the world in a different way.
As a clear area of the sky had been hanging over Mount Archibald, even after more than ten hours, there was no alternation of day and night.
This reduces unnecessary hassle for the trio of three on a treasure hunt.
This time it was a fruitful one, but Karina was not satisfied.
It took more than five hundred years for this legendary fallen land to spawn, and many treasures and beasts have disappeared. This is a big regret for her, if she can hunt for treasure when this mountain is first born, she will become a top treasure hunter, and the Earth Wolf Squad will be able to return to the ranks of the A-rank team.
Because when the legendary powerhouse dies, not only will it turn into a mountain peak and earth, but also many monsters and rare plants will be derived from his flesh and blood. Five hundred years is enough time for those monsters to eat up the precious minerals and plants on the mountain, and then die out naturally.
When Karina carefully calculated and came up with the harvest of this treasure hunt, excluding the share given to Li Mo, the rest could barely make the Earth Wolf team enter the ranks of the A-level team in front of the Earth Wolf Team, she and Malka's eyes invariably looked at the top of Archibald Mountain.
The higher the place, the greater the value of the baby. There, there happens to be a peculiar black stone, full of mystery and eccentricity.
The trio returned to the top of the mountain. Because the treasures along the way had been looted before, the journey was naturally much faster.
On the top of Archibald Mountain, in addition to the rough stone ball made by Li Mo and Malka, a huge stone ball with a dark luster is quietly placed.
If you measure it with a precise measuring tool, you will find that this stone ball is an absolute round ball, and each of its stones is three meters in diameter, and there is no difference in the slightest.
The stone ball feels no different from a normal stone, but when you press it hard, a small piece of the surface that should be as hard as iron will be concave.
However, no matter how much the force is increased, its concave surface is still so large, neither increasing nor decreasing.
If you let go of your hand, the dent will slowly heal over a period of time.
Moreover, the texture of the stone ball is extremely tough, and the knife and axe, the impact of the fighting spirit, and even the corrosive liquid of the poisonous pool cannot damage it in the slightest.
This thing is undoubtedly a treasure, but what it does, even Karina can't say.
"Malka, do you push the ball and see if you can push it?" cried out in annoyance after some attempts.
"What are you going to do?" asked Malka.
"Don't be wordy, Miss Ben will push it if you want to. Karina scolded.
Marka sighed, walked over to the boulder, hunched over, tested the sensation with his hands, and then gave a loud thrust forward. The strength of a sixth-level warrior should have easily pushed a stone ball of this size, but when he saw that the rock under his feet cracked and shattered, the black cobblestone did not move.
Marka also froze, hunched his back again, and shouted, this time he even used his fighting spirit, only to see a burst of smoke under his feet, and the black cobblestone did not move a bit.
This stone ball weighed more than 1,000 catties.
Karina's eyebrows jumped, and she turned her head to look at Li Mo, and her fierce eyes instantly became pitiful and pitiful.
"Uncle, help. ”
Li Mo also sighed, walked to the cobblestone, and fought side by side with Malka.
He has always been cautious and cautious about strange things, and when the situation is uncertain, he is reluctant to touch too much. So when Karina and Marca were pounding the ball, he stood by and watched, and didn't intervene.
However, when the "life-saving benefactor" spoke, of course he would not refuse.
But after pressing the stone ball with both hands, Li Mo's face suddenly changed.
Unlike Malka, who could only press down the surface of the stone ball after using force, the moment he made contact with the stone ball, the stone ball immediately generated a powerful suction, which firmly sucked his hands and pulled him towards the inside of the stone ball.
"There's something weird about this ball. As soon as Li Mo reminded him, the suction of the stone ball suddenly increased, and he pulled his whole person inside with a whoosh.
The scene left a stunned Karina and Malka.
Boom!
Marka swallowed, looked at Karina, and nervously asked, "Do you still want to push?"
Karina was stunned for a moment, then reacted and screamed, "Big idiot, don't you take your hands away?"
Malka retracted his hands as if he had been amnestied, jumped backwards three times in succession, and moved a relatively safe distance before he let out a sigh of relief and said, "Just now, what happened?"
Karina's eyes were complicated, but she jumped to the edge of the ball, turned around, looked at the ball, and muttered, "Why is it uncle?"
"Alas, a female baby who awakens the bloodline of the shadows, a vulgar and ugly orc, a man who bears the curse of the demon god and is lifeless. Does the deity still have a choice? In the words of an oriental proverb, it is to pick a watermelon from the sesame seeds, and pick a general from the lame one. Cheap for you, boy. Then again, having the audacity to steal power from Baal is hehe, hehe, it's an interesting guy. ”
In a magnificent, solemn, and grand hall, a humanoid creature covered in a halo sat quietly on the white jade throne and muttered to himself.
The aura on his body is colorful and gorgeous, big and small, bright and dark, and there are more than a thousand ways. If you look closely, you can see that each aura is a chain of different thicknesses, these chains are made up of countless Qiao runes, each rune is like an independent world, changing shape and meaning every second, exuding a unique light and rhyme, anyone who sees it can feel the supreme power contained in the rune, but will forget what it looks like after looking away.
Below the White Jade Throne, there was a 9,999-strong cold bluestone staircase, the steps were ten zhang wide and a hundred zhang long, and hundreds of figures stood respectfully on each stone step, as if guarding their king. Among these figures are angels, demons, dragons, elves, dwarves, beasts, and all creatures that existed before the Big Bang can find their images here.
Of course, it's more about humans.
On either side of the steps was a row of tall stone pillars, three hundred meters apart from each other, each thirty-three meters in diameter, high into the Void Nebula at the top.
At the bottom of the bluestone staircase is a huge square with an area of more than 10,000 yuan. The square is paved with 100,000 square bronze bricks 50 centimeters long and 50 centimeters wide, and the bricks are carved with lifelike portraits, each brick is a legendary story of ups and downs.
In the center of the square, there is a platform with a dark and natural color. I don't know what kind of material the platform is made of, and on it lies an ordinary young man in ordinary clothes and with a pale face.
He was none other than Li Mo who was sucked into the black stone ball.
The aura of the figure looked like a torch, penetrating the barrier of time and space, and fell on Li Mo. Suddenly, Li Mo's past experience was unreservedly presented in his eyes.
Those deep and calm eyes are like a projector, tracing the picture of Li Mo's experience from the present to the past. The expedition to Archibald Mountain, the devil's curse event in Black Mist City, the happy time between Li Mo and Angel, and the difficult survival in Black Mist City.
Li Mo in the picture became smaller and smaller, and his face became more and more immature, until the day Li Mo suddenly appeared in Black Mist City.
In the picture, the expressionless Li Mo stared coldly at the riots that were taking place on the street, at this time, the defensive walls of Black Mist City had not yet been established, and a large number of demonic beasts often attacked Black Mist City in groups. These monsters that are lucky enough to break through the defenses and rush into the inner city, ferociously preying on panicked humans.
But when these demonic beasts touched Li Mo, they seemed to have seen a natural enemy, or they turned around and left with a respectful roar, or changed direction in a panic.
Li Mo was indifferent to this, walked to a dilapidated house, and sat on the steps. Suddenly raised his head and asked coldly, "Have you seen enough?" ”
In the magnificent palace, in front of the nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine bluestone steps, on the majestic and noble white jade throne, thousands of figures entwined with halos were shocked, and the retrospective picture in their eyes instantly shattered.
"Lee, why are you ......?"
He shouted in a lost voice, and then released a dazzling light like the sun in his eyes, forming two pillars of light, enveloping Li Mo on the platform, and there were countless esoteric runes flying in the pillars of light, hundreds of millions of meteors flying by, and thousands of lightning roaring.
In such a gaze that traces back to the origin, every wisp of consciousness and every cell in Li Mo's body has nothing to hide, exposing the essence to the other party's sight.
The result was a big surprise to the people who were surrounded by the halo.
Except for the special physique cursed by the Demon God, Li Mo is completely an ordinary person.
The aura enveloped the figure and snorted coldly, and used his means again, only to see him gently wave his left hand, and the two halos wrapped around his left arm emitted the sound of a phoenix roaring and a dragon's groan, flying out of the air and submerging into Li Mo's chest. Then it shuttled through Li Mo's body at the speed of light, and after a quarter of an hour, two auras flew out again and retracted from his arm.
Later, the aura wrapped around the figure, and several detection methods were used.
The results were all the same: Li Mo was an ordinary person. As for the power of the demon god on Li Mo's body, the strange immortal body was like air in his eyes.
After the aura wrapped around the figure and finished the detection, he didn't say a word, supported his elbows and cheeks, and looked at Li Mo quietly. After a long time, he chuckled and said, "I see." ”
After saying these inexplicable words, the figure wrapped around the halo suddenly burst out laughing, as if he had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world, and the laughter lasted for several minutes before stopping.
"Yes, the battle for the planes is over. A new Dimensional Origin has been formed, countless times more powerful than before, and those of us who are struggling to survive are no longer welcome. Those who should have gone have gone. You have to protect this ruined world, so you can only give up your former glory and power, and look for a chance to be recognized by the Plane Origin again from countless reincarnations. Hahahaha, five hundred years have passed, Li, this is by no means the first time you have been reincarnated, but you are still such a weak existence, even this vulgar guy like Baal can bully you, it's really sad. Hahahaha......"
On the white jade throne, the laughter of the people wrapped in halos became lower and lower, leaving only endless memories and bitterness.
"If nothing else, your reincarnation should be ended by me and become my puppet to regain my former glory. And you, the moment I become a supreme being, will be reincarnated again. ”
"Restart your path to the top. ”
"I've seen that the road is so difficult that even if you reincarnate a hundred times, you won't necessarily reach the end. ”
"However, it is undoubtedly the only right way to go. ”
"The world has changed, and even I don't know if the rules of the past can be accommodated by the new plane. I'm just unwilling to give up the power of tens of thousands of years of hard cultivation. ”
"Once upon a time, you were the strongest among us, and you should see the future more complete than we see. ”
"Have you seen our reunion today?"
Or maybe everything is already what you expected today. Including, my choice. ”
"Hehe, today, let me give you back the love that you fought side by side five hundred years ago. ”
"I hope you, like five hundred years ago, will lead us to the ultimate victory with an invincible attitude. ”
"Of course, if you fail, I will personally end your life to compensate for my loss today. ”
The aura-entangled figure seems to have experienced a complex ideological struggle in his self-talk.
In the end, I saw him wave his arm, and a ray of light fell on Li Mo, and Li Mo, who was asleep, slowly woke up.
At the same time, the magnificent palace began to collapse silently, and the pillars, steps, and floors all dissipated into thousands of fluorescent lights.
The thousands of auras that wrapped around his body were also crumbling, and when the auras all disappeared, only a ball of light emitted a glowing white light remained.
After the ball of light jumped in place twice, it floated towards Li Mo.
