"The Reincarnation of Fire?"

Ian sensed the messages flowing through the Aether of the Ember King. If it were an ordinary sublimator, it would be impossible to read the information of the laws from the opponent's ether that could be understood.

But he was a prophet and the pioneer of the arcane path, and his calculations, with the blessing of the heart of Terra, had reached an incredible point where he could directly see through the flow of the ether and 'see' its supertemporal nature.

Moreover, the Ember King himself was burning his soul, so Ian could read his heart's strongest desires directly from his fist, from his light, from his flames and ashes.

In addition to fighting himself, the true plan of the Ember King in the past was the 'Reincarnation of Fire'.

Moreover, this cycle ......

Still about him?!

The cyan light flickered, and the foresight went against time and space, and saw everything.

[So, you were persecuted by the Empire and had to flee to the Flame Land? Boy, I've heard of the name of Chehalorvo, and I know you're a pretty good psyker, so I'm willing to meet you, but don't think I'm a foolish old man in the countryside of your hometown.]

[Well, your talent is really good, and people are weird to be smart...... The empire shouldn't be stupid enough to treat a genius like you as a spy, but it's a pity that I don't have a daughter of the right age, otherwise it wouldn't be a loss to accept you......]

[Hiss...... This kid's talent is peerless, and his learning ability is even more terrifying, this kid is not in my Flying Flame Pool, and he must not stay! 】

[What? 'Grace drifted for half his life, and he only hated not meeting the master. But if the king will not forsake me, will he worship me as his father?'" This...... How does this make! Aiko, hurry up! 】

That's a tributary...... A tributary that originates in Harrison Harbor and flows to the Flamelands.

[You're actually a prophet?! You even told me you were a prophet after you became the crown prince?! I've told you a hundred times, we are eclectic in the Flying Flame Land, as long as you are willing to accept my bloodline and recognize me as your father-in-law, you are a member of Abbasalom, and you still hide this hand with me?! 】

What do I mean? I mean, if I knew you were a prophet, why would you bother competing with my stupid children and grandchildren, you would have been a fucking crown prince, you know? 】

[Whew.] Calm down. Ian Abasarom, tell me, what else are you hiding? 】

[Oh, you're the apprentice of the first knight?! 】

If it weren't for the Foresight, Ian wouldn't have imagined that the Ember King would be such a grumpy and straightforward old man in his daily life—neither from the perspective of the Imperials nor the Flamelanders.

This is the only way to know the true appearance of the other party behind that gloomy and majestic exterior only by becoming a descendant of the Ember King and becoming the object of his admiration...... Just like the ashes look gray and cold on the outside, but if you don't touch it, who can know the scorching heat inside it?

"What exactly is the reincarnation of fire?"

In the midst of the fierce battle, Ian inquired about the 'Ember King of Reality', and he threw a punch, and the layers of magnetic force accelerated, like a super electromagnetic cannon, and his will surged out along the torrent of violent magnetic gas.

[A way to continue humanity after the destruction of the world]

In response to Ian's punch, the Ember King retracted his hands and tilted upwards, causing the powerful punch to pass over his head. At the same time, a whirlpool of flames clinged to Ian's fist like a bone appendage, reaching deep into Ian's defenses and bypassing the strongest multi-layered shields of the Herald of Immovable Steel.

In fact, the two of them were unable to speak at all, and they couldn't hear each other's voices, and the communication between the two sides relied on fist-to-fist, force-to-force staggered attacks, and the 'aether resonance' that erupted at that moment.

Even if it is the fifth energy level, it is impossible to use aether resonance to talk in battle, and the conversation just now is already the limit.

But Ian is different—he has foresight. The increasingly powerful Prophetic Horizon can already rely on this 'cause and effect' to directly peek into the 'possible future' in parallel time and space!

And in the parallel time and space, as his junior, Ian can even directly listen to the other party and himself tell the truth of the 'Reincarnation of Fire'.

This is something that Offayne can't do, no matter how powerful he is!

[Don't believe the world will be destroyed? Oh, optimistic boy, this idea of yours is shared by the vast majority of people in this world, but I tell you truthfully, everything in this world, whether it is you and me, even the heavens, the earth, the planets, the sun and the stars, will eventually turn to ashes.

[But all the fifth energy level, in fact, know that the end is near, and the catastrophe of the heavenly fall may not come again, but in the depths of this earth, there is still a dark sea that is enough to destroy everything]

[And in the heavens, didn't the old man of the Hall of All Souls also predict the plague of light recently? No one is surprised, because we have a vague prediction in our hearts that destruction will come again.]

[Even this catastrophe of heaven and earth has not destroyed us, is it possible that we can't destroy it ourselves? The glowing bird in the east is getting more and more agitated, and so are we. Passed down from generation to generation, struggled from generation to generation, that inexplicable sense of urgency urges us forward]

[We also want to change the world, but there are other fifth energy levels in the way, and this anxiety will eventually lead us to the final battle, and when it ends, it will be a man-made disaster that can truly destroy our human race]

[Huh? You say I don't have the desire to win? Hum...... It's really accurate, worthy of a prophet]

[Everything, after all, will be turned to ashes, I don't want to waste my life on a foolish war, that guy in Axel is not worthy of letting me fight wholeheartedly, this world, except for Huaiguang, maybe there is no more worth it, but Huaiguang will only wait until everything is over and start from scratch, I don't like that kind of ending very much]

[So, I, the Spirit Weapon Order, and some people who trace the underworld, have created a new technology]

[It's called 'The Reincarnation of Fire']

[A...... After the destruction of the world, the technology that turns everyone into demons and survives forever in the Void

"Demons?"

Ian's arm shook, and the gravitational field around him began to rotate wildly, making time and space seem to boil, and the tangible energy visible to the naked eye boiled and burned around him, and then sublimated and condensed, turning into star-like phantoms.

And the trace of flame aether that the Ember King had invaded his body before was forced out in this way, and even turned into a phantom of the flaming stars, revolving around Ian.

This technique is the defense matrix technique used by Ian's missionary, Ace Nemathas, and as the creator, Ian is obviously proficient in this way, more than hundreds of thousands of completely different magnetic field currents rotate rapidly inside and outside the body, constantly superimposing each other, and even setting off a huge typhoon in the virtual realm.

This typhoon is the 'absolute area' that Ian can control, no matter how strange and powerful the enemy's power is, it is impossible to bypass it, and if you want to get close, you will inevitably clash with this magnetic hurricane.

So in the next moment, you can see that there are millions of completely different attack methods all up and down the magnetic field typhoon, left and right, all of them - swords, guns, swords, guns, fists and feet, stabbing and stabbing, cutting and shattering, suppressing and scorching...... By burning his own spiritual soul and constantly overflowing his aether into the Void Realm, at this moment, the will and attacks of the Ember King began to imprint into the Void.

An alternative, almost druid's 'unity of heaven and man'!

[You actually saw that the reincarnation of fire is related to demons!] 】

The Ember King was burning with himself, he was in the best state he had ever been, and there was no battle in this world that could be called 'heavens and earth's', so he had no interest in any of them.

But Ian was different, the man laughed out loud, and since the appearance of the Arcane Path, he had been trying to deduce the changes that the Arcane Path might have done to the world...... Haha, I can't calculate it at all! This kind of path that changes the mode of existence of all mankind from the base is not the same thing as those that only allow the strong to go further.

Compared with this change, perhaps, the future of mankind will have a different ending...... Maybe humanity won't be a thing of ashes that will eventually dissipate, or maybe he won't have to grow old in this boring world.

[If you want to know, I'll let you see it more clearly!] 】

Faced with the magnetic field matrix that did not have the slightest gap, blocking all attacks from the front, back, left, right, and even inside and outside the time and space, the Ember King spread out his arms, and when he landed, he was ignited by his soul, blazing, and even the Void Spiritual Energy Cycle that embodied the essence of 'circulation' began to turn into a hazy vortex, pressing towards Ian.

And he himself was even more burning, bright and enthusiastic, turning into a whirlpool in his body, and also pressed towards Ian.

In this way, one positive and one negative, one bright and one dark, two diametrically opposed flame vortexes began to strangle Ian, who was 'suppressed', and wanted to use the purest power and the largest volume to forcibly consume and refine Ian!

But this is also the answer of the Ember King!

'Circulation' ...... 'reincarnation'......

"I see!"

At this moment, Ian also perceived everything in this most direct aetheric interlacing: "It turned out ...... The entire imaginary realm and the material world are a 'circulation'...... It's all 'tide sounds'! ”

With the Foresight Horizon, Ian saw the workings of the entire Shroud!

That is, a superstructure that originates from outside of time and space, outside the universe...... That's the 'Great Aetheric Circulation'!

The entire Terra's Void is essentially a tributary of the Great Aetheric Gyre, a 'psionic world' that intersects with the material world!

The universe itself, originally material, was only material. However, with the creation of the aether by the star god and the creation of the Great Aether circulation, this universe is filled with endless aether, linking the past and the future, guiding the changes of matter, and the will of the human can control the flame to burn, and the thunder to descend, giving birth to transcendence and sublimation, so that the most ordinary and weakest life can also follow the essentia spiritual energy, the path of the ether time and space, and become the new 'star god'.

Among them, the guidance of intelligent life is the most important, and the Great Aetheric Circulation will react to all the regions in the infinite parallel space-time that may harbor life, and then divide into a tributary.

This tributary is pure ether. As it falls from outside of time and space, the pure true aether decays and degenerates into essentia and psionic power. Essentia helps local life to strengthen its essence so that it can survive, and psionic energy adds a layer of 'virtual realm structure' to the structure of the material world, so that the will of life gradually accumulates and gradually enriches, and when an intelligent civilization develops to the point of extreme prosperity, the feedback of the virtual realm will also come.

At that time, all life on this planet will have 'soul determination', and 'soul' will naturally arise!

Yes! That's the step that the Terra civilization almost didn't do before! It's also the step that other alien civilizations have taken!

Spontaneous, the 'soul of all' that does not need an artificial soul! The whole people's 'soul awakening'!

The fact that the Terra people can accept artificial souls actually proves that they are not far from spontaneous souls, and the next step is the national psionic energy after the national soul. These are the real effects of the Void Realm, assisting a 'ladder' of civilization and progress!

This is also the same as what Ian knew from the previous communication with the goblins: the virtual realm is essentially a bubble, floating on the endless void sea, and the civilization of intelligent life is the breath that blows this bubble, and the essence of this void sea that carries the bubble ......

It's the Great Aetheric Circulation!

And just like the true source of oneself, the virtual realm itself is also a 'circulation', but this circulation is the accumulation of the soul and spiritual essence that pulls all the intelligent life in the locality, as long as the intelligent life is not destroyed, then wisdom is born, and the virtual realm will not be destroyed.

Even on the other hand, even if all intelligent life is wiped out, as long as the Void Realm is still large enough, it can still flow for a long time before it will gradually stop.

This is somewhat similar to another similar gyre Ian has ever seen, the port of the Great Aetheric Gyre...... That is the 'Crystal Perpetual Motion Machine: Boundless Tide'.

Perhaps, the technology of perpetual motion machine and the technology of psionic circulation are homologous...... When a civilization has thoroughly studied the nature of the virtual realm and the material world, and has mastered some technologies of the Great Aetheric Circulation along the flow of the aether, the civilization can develop its own 'perpetual motion machine'.

Although it is with the help of the power of the star god, the birth of all intelligent life in this universe depends on the star god, and it doesn't matter if you rely on a little more big daddy.

Of course, the vast majority of civilizations may not be able to make it this far, and they will decline, self-destruct, and completely lose the vitality of their virtual realm.

But that's not the end.

In the process, there will even be a new civilization that relies on the Shroud...... Whether it's elves, ghosts, or elemental life, it is possible to be born and keep the Void running.

Of course, there is another possibility.

【Abyss Demon】

Parallel time and space, the older Ember King recounts his plans to his heir: [This is an imaginary creature that has existed beyond our knowledge. It contains all the sufferings and memories of a civilization, and is a new species born from the corpse of a civilization.]

Even if civilization is destroyed, demons will still exist. The Void will even be twisted into an abyss by them, and it will still exist for hundreds of thousands, millions of years]

[Demons will create a huge distortion in the material world, that is, all kinds of subspace labyrinths, if the number of demons is large enough, the quality is high enough, they can even break through the cycle of the virtual realm and the material world, and directly descend on the material world, living and existing like normal creatures...... Even let the Shroud gain more 'power' and create greater distortions.]

[Got it?] Ian? 】

[If everything is destroyed and turned to ashes, then we can transform ourselves into 'artificial demons'...... When the number of man-made demons exceeds the threshold of 2,790,000,000,000, the Void Realm will produce a huge distortion and descend on the material world, so that the demons can live like the humans of the past and develop civilizations.

"But."

At this moment, Ian heard his own voice in the parallel time and space, and it was the same as his current self, full of curiosity and doubt: "There is a limit to such distortions, and the distortion of the Void will rebound, destroying the civilization created by the 'Artificial Demon' in an instant, or recycling it into the Void - at that time, everything will be destroyed, and the Void will become chaotic because of the twisted rebound." ”

【Yes】

And the King of Embers replied with a smile: "So at that time, it would be good to ignite Chaos]

[Keep the core soul data of all people and demons in the abyss, in the 'Apocalypse Server' built by the Spirit Order, and then, I will ignite the entire Void and turn it into pure psionic flames, turning all chaos into a blank]

[Then, the abyss will give birth to a new 'Demon Soul', creating a new world, once again distorting the virtual realm and reality, and allowing the demons to be born again.]

[The goblins can't do it. When the Shroud comes to a standstill, the elves die. Elemental life can't do it. When the Void turns into chaos, they will perish. Spirits can't do it. When the distortion of the Shroud is recycled, everything about them will be crushed.

[Only demons, only demons who have long since died, have long been shattered, and have long been just a ball of ashes, can be born after death and recondensed in brokenness]

This is circulation, reincarnation and circulation.

If the world is destroyed, then everyone will be turned into demons. The powerful Shroud Distortion will create a near-permanent warped abyss in the physical world, and man-made demons with human minds can continue to live in this twisted abyss.

Even if the whole world has been turned into a wasteland, and even the planets are shattered, in the twisted abyss, in the distorted virtual realm, the world is still the original appearance of birds and flowers.

However, the human beings who live in this world, those who have the 'Demon Soul', have limits.

Human nature.

The human nature in the demon souls will continue to pass, and in the final analysis, they are not real material beings, and the human will in the demon core will continue to be consumed, eventually leading to the complete demonization of the physical body and the transformation into an immortal ghost.

When the entire civilization loses its humanity and cannot maintain the distortion of the virtual realm, the whole world will gradually go to ruin.

The distorted realm will shrink, and the world of birds and flowers will gradually return to the ugly, shattered, and even shattered appearance of the real world.

As if a flame was extinguished, the illuminating light dissipated, and the essence of darkness returned to reality.

But that's not the end.

[The demon devours the whole world and turns everything into nothingness, and I will rekindle the flames and reshape everything]

[Then in the Apocalypse server, 'Humanity' will be downloaded again]

The King of Ember in parallel time and space said calmly: [So the world was created again]

This is a never-ending reincarnation, a reincarnation of dead silence.

Whether it is Ian in parallel time and space, or Ian now, he feels a shudder at this moment.

Because, he saw the biggest flaw in this plan.

"The human memories in the Apocalypse server don't change, do they?"

"They were already stagnant when they died, and what they downloaded again was nothing more than a copy - and these copies would also be destroyed with the warped Shroud World, and the human memories in the Apocalypse server would not change, they would just be kept there!"

[Of course.] If it changes, it will be broken, and if it changes, there is no guarantee of a variable. But don't worry, even if the 'beginning' is the same, the 'process' is always different, and the world will change again and again every time you reincarnate.

"And, Daddy."

[Huh? What's wrong? 】

"From beginning to end, is it ...... Are you the only one burning? ”

[Ahhh......h Ahh

[Hmm.] Indeed]

[Maybe one day, I will burn out, but at that time, maybe there will be an awakening of the soul in some Apocalypse server, and I can inherit my duty to continue this flame]

[Anyway, at that time, I must have died happily]

[But don't worry, kid, I'll burn, burn longer than anyone else can imagine, even the whole civilization, I can load it]

[Because, I really don't want to]

[Unwilling...... Reduced to ashes]

So, time accelerated.

Transmigration...... Here we go.

Reality.

"200 million years?!"

Raising his head, Ian looked at the eyes with a terrifying and incredible look with a dazed expression, I don't know why Ian suddenly popped out of a number of Ember King: "You can actually burn for 200 million years?!" Do you call this the burning of the splendor of a short life? ”

"You're crazy, aren't you? How did you do that?! ”
