Chapter 25: A Prophet to the Future, a Sage Who Changes Everything (7200)

"Actually...... No ether?! ”

At this moment, Ian really felt incredible—incomprehensible.

Some people may think that it is a big fuss, but in the Terra Universe, the Aether Universe, the existence of the Aether itself is the foundation of all things.

It is the ether that integrates the forms of the stars, and it is the ether that constructs the origin of the birth of all beings...... To put it simply, in the Aether Universe, before the true Aether spreads, there is probably only one life form in the entire universe, the Star God, which was born with the Queen Mother, humans and other carbon-based creatures, metal-based life, and various other different lifeforms.

Without the ether, the entire universe would take on a form that is unimaginable to living beings today.

However, the 'outer universe' that spreads as it ends, constantly invading the 'inside of the cradle', is not a 'dead silence' without any ether.

Ian stared at the scene, motionless, his gaze not shifting the slightest.

"There is no aether in the universe beyond the cradle."

This is the greatest hint and contribution of the Path of Ashes to him.

Muttering to himself, Ian took a deep breath, "There are so many possibilities...... Let me think about it. ”

First of all, the aether is the tool of the star god, and the great aether circulation is the supreme creation of the star god, and the star god and the aether are absolutely bound together.

If there is no ether in the outside world, it means that there is no star god, which is also consistent with what Ian knows, in this heaven war, it is the result of the 'star god defeated'.

Then, under this premise, there are two possibilities for the aether to disappear.

The first, and most likely, is that after the final defeat of the Star God, the source of the Star God's power, the 'Aether', is also blocked...... To put it simply, two races, one breathes oxygen and the other breathes ammonia, and the two coexist on the same planet that has both oxygen and ammonia.

When the oxygen is defeated, the ammonia-breathing race removes all the oxygen on the planet and replaces it with ammonia, so that even if the oxygen-breathing race recovers its vitality and prepares to fight again, it is a huge disadvantage on this planet.

The second is that the star god was defeated, took the initiative to remove the ether, and accumulated strength to lurk.

There is nothing to say about this, if the first possibility is still the main one, then the star god will not accept it, and it will eventually be eliminated, the star god anticipates this possibility, and will definitely take the initiative to recover the ether by himself, just like if you charge up your fist, you need to swing your hand back, this is the process of accumulating strength.

But neither of these possibilities can perfectly explain what Ian saw in 200 million years.

First of all, it is the escape of the final fragments in the Dragon Island Seal.

At 160 million years, due to the collapse of the Terra civilization in a substantial sense, the perpetual motion machine disappeared, and the concentration of aether inside the cradle of the cradle of the 'new ether' was extremely low, and even fell below the limit that could maintain the seal of Dragon Island.

The Dragon Island Seal fails, and the final fragment leaves the black hole that sealed it and enters the interior of the Sun, turning Terra into a black hole.

This scene seems ordinary, but it actually makes Ian wonder.

The Finalists were originally a race that lived in black holes, which can be seen from the fact that after the Fragments of Finality left the Dragon Island Seal, they went directly to the stars to create a black hole, which was close to their instinct.

But other than that, it seems that the end will not do anything.

After the Fragment of Finality turned the Terra Sun into a black hole, until the cradle was shattered, and the Terminology outside the cradle also entered the Terra Black Hole, there was a full 40 million years - during this time, the Fragment of Terra did nothing, the black hole rotated gently, and the cycle of flame was not hindered and affected in the slightest, until 40 million years later, it was completely destroyed by the even more terrifying Plague of Light.

Yes, the cycle of fire was destroyed by the scourge of light.

It's not the end of the fragment, it's not the big end behind - Ash Ian and the reincarnation of the flame are indeed dead, but it has nothing to do with the end, this is probably the possibility that Ian can see the 'Rainbow of Darkness'.

After all, the cradles are broken, and Ian has actually escaped from prison and is located in the outer universe. Although he died in the next moment, it was pitch black, but he finally achieved his goal, so there was a little rainbow.

This gave Ian an incredible possibility.

"Could it be that on the way to the Star Extinguishing Road, he rushed to the final Star Extinguishing Ian...... Not dead? ”

Thinking of this, Ian shook his head: "No, it's completely unobservable. My Guiding Star can't even get back the message, and I certainly don't know what the outcome will be—and Ash Ian can still get back the message that I'm going to die here, so it's pitch black. ”

"However, in the end, it is indeed a little less harmful than imagined."

Originally, Ian thought that as the enemy of the star god, just the appearance itself would cause the distortion and destruction of the universe, causing countless stars to be extinguished.

And now it seems that they simply turned all the stars into black holes, and even gravity did not interfere much.

In other words...... As long as we don't attract their attention, can we go in a different direction?

"The end is located in the direction of the cradle wound, and if you go from there, you will definitely bump into the end of the day, which will definitely die."

Ian's mind raced: "And now, I know that the magnetic monopole can break through the walls of the cradle—can I go to the other side of the Cradle of Terra and use the magnetic monopole to open another door and avoid the end to the outside world?" ”

"Maybe. But from one end of the cradle to the other, it's only ten light years, and if you really want to chase it, I'm afraid you will catch up in an instant, right? ”

"Hmm...... Can you catch up? ”

At this moment, Ian suddenly fell into deep thought.

- Is there a faster-than-light means in the end?

There is no doubt that there is. According to the last echo, as well as the news received from the Dragon Island, the appearance and spread of the final Yan is faster than light, and it is still a very high level, and it will not take long to extinguish an entire river system.

But how did they move faster than the speed of light?

This originally didn't need to think, in the end, this invincible race, the star god would lose more and win less in the face of him, and he still needed to think about how to exceed the speed of light?

But in reality, this is not the case.

"I can finally get out of the black hole...... He was able to break through the horizon of events because of the ether. ”

Ian's brows furrowed, and he felt as if he had grasped the key: "If the end is really a timeline life, then they will actually be very uncomfortable with the movement on the 'spatial axis'. ”

"It was only under the influence of the ether that the final Yan had the initial ability to move the spatial axis."

Just as Ian had guessed at the beginning, for Finale, the existence of the aether was like an anomaly in a horror game, allowing them to travel through time with humans to come to different dimensions, and the space axis life was also a rapidly changing monster that was difficult to see in the same space-time zone, and suddenly flashed at a certain time period from time to time.

Because of this, as soon as they encounter a black hole, whether it is the Fragment of the End or the End of the World, they will immediately go over and enter it—they will finally find a stable space-time zone, and they will not encounter so many messy weirdness.

But here's the problem: they came out of the black hole by the ether, and they spread by the ether...... In the absence of the ether, how can the ultimate 'move' its spatial axis to the interior of the black hole event horizon?

Ian didn't know the answer to that question, but predicting the odds was easy.

First, Ultimate has the ability to move on the spatial axis without the need for aether.

As a civilization of the same level or even better than the star gods, the star gods can make the ether transcend time and space, predicting the direction of many information in the past and the future, and as long as they study it, they will definitely be able to research the results.

But the question arises – can every finalist do this?

The individual of the Star God, looking at it now, may be the seventh energy level. In the case of larvae, the standard conditions may also be the sixth energy level. However, the ability of the star god to transform the space-time of the universe, shape the great aetheric circulation, and affect the infinite parallel space-time is definitely not something that can be summarized by the seventh energy level.

The sixth and seventh energy levels are probably only the weak and ordinary people in the Star God Race, and above this, there are more powerful Star God Individuals, as well as the 'Star God Civilization as a Whole' that represents the pinnacle of everything.

The Great Aetheric Circulation can assist the weak Star Gods to do many things that they can't do on their own, and this is the power of civilization, even humans like Ian can know the future or the possibilities in infinite parallel time and space with the help of the Great Aetheric Circulation and the Prophet's ability.

However, if there is no Great Aetheric Circulation, it is just an ordinary country star god, relying on its own power, wanting to transcend time and space, predict the future, and sense other parallel time and space...... Ian thought it would be a difficult thing to do.

If there is also a 'Great Finality Circulation', then perhaps every Finality can walk freely on the spatial axis, but at present, although the Finality has defeated the Star God and has the ability to remove the ether, it has not yet had time to create a 'Great Finality Circulation'.

The strength of the ordinary end may not be as strong as imagined, and without the support of the civilization behind it, I am afraid that it will not be possible to carry out the 'Etherless' spatial axis movement.

So, thinking about it the other way around, it's the second possibility.

Individual, ordinary end-of-life, does not possess the ability to move the spatial axis in a non-aetheric environment.

So, there is another possibility.

- Is it true that the aether was finally removed, rather than the aether being removed by himself after the defeat of the Star God?

It is not surprising that Eventual used the Aether, which is open to all, and his own unique technology, to defeat the creator of the Ether, the Star God, because Ultimate Yan used the power of the Star God to defeat the Star God himself...... But on the other hand, if the Star God completely abandons the ether, then the Star God and the Finale will return to the same running line!

In this way, those who do not have the ether, and are not the most powerful, are stuck in the 'outer universe' without the ether!

This is also the reason why the Fragment of the Aether entered Terra Star when the Aether was thin, and after turning the star into a black hole, it did not come out for 40 million years - not only because the black hole lived comfortably, but also because the Aether was so thin that the debris could not leave the event horizon!

"The end stops outside the wound of the cradle...... Is He waiting for something? ”

Raising his head, Ian looked in the direction of the wound in the cradle, thoughtful: "Sure enough, the outer universe can't move without the ether?" ”

The end on the outside of the cradle, if Ian's guess was correct, was stalled for the same reason.

When the star god's spaceship smashed the cradle barrier, the aether inside the cradle flowed to the outside world, attracting a head of the end who was looking for a suitable place to live in the surrounding area, but the disappearance of the aether made the end of the space axis move more and more slowly, and when he came to the outside of the cradle, the cradle had been repaired and no aether flowed out.

He stood still, motionless, in a state of immortality for the end.

Until...... The Dragon of Light shattered the wound in the cradle, allowing a high concentration of aether to flow out, activating the ability to act.

Or 200 million years later, the cradle is shattered, and the thin aether flows out, so that Zhongyan has found the last chance to flow back to the black hole with the aether.

As for the normal material world?

I don't care. It's like humans don't give a second glance at planets that don't have a suitable environment.

It makes sense.

And...... Ian even thought about the beginning of everything.

Disaster from the sky.

The fall of the Star God ship.

Why does the seal of the Star God Seal Fragment of the End become invalid? Why did this seal succeed again as soon as it entered the cradle?

The answer seems simple.

"It was that moment."

Ian whispered to himself, "It was the moment the Heavenly Fall happened, the 'Aether' disappeared from the outside world!" ”

"Even one of the individuals of the Star God, the Star God spaceship that carried the important protection fire and carried the final debris did not receive this notification, and encountered this sudden situation of the disappearance of the aether, the seal and power pack went out of control, allowing the final debris to come out and destroy the critical area of the spaceship!"

"No, it may have been known, noticed, but not expected to have such a big impact. The Star God Ship has a perpetual motion machine, and it continuously produces enough aether for the spaceship to use alone, but the change in the concentration of the aether is enough for the final debris to find a chance and then cause the 'Sky Fall'. ”

"And after the sky fell into the Terra Star Field, inside the cradle, because of the cradle's isolation of the 'inner and outer universes', the aether concentration returned to stability, and the dragon kings found an opportunity to reshape the seal and suppress the final fragment."

"This is the truth of the sky fall - not a simple accident, but a 'aftermath splash' caused by a battle between the two sides of the war in a war that is unimaginable to human beings!"

"Whether it is the Star God or the Finale, the individuals of their civilization are also powerless in the face of cosmic-level changes, one dies due to the fall of the sky, and the other is frozen in the outer universe due to the disappearance of the ether."

"That's what it is...... What the Path of Ashes wants to tell me! ”

Ian doesn't know if he's right—but that's true of all speculations and assumptions, and thinking can only continue if he first assumes that he's right.

When Xingshen built the cradle, he should have also done relevant designs.

First of all, there is a high probability that there is a perpetual motion machine inside each cradle, which is used as an energy source for the life of the ether that cannot be given up inside the cradle, so as to ensure that the ether ecology in the cradle can exist.

Terra is like that, although the Endless Tide has not yet been fully activated, it has been slowly releasing the aether, allowing Terra to be gradually transformed into a Gaia planet.

If everything is according to the vision of the star gods, when they revoke the universe-wide aether and start a war with the end again, all intelligent life in the universe will be preserved in the cradle and reborn in the worlds around it.

The perpetual motion machine can ensure that they have an incomparably abundant energy resources, independent of the war between the stars and the end...... In this way, the civilization in the cradle may always exist!

You know, the cradle on Terra's side collapsed after 200 million years because the perpetual motion machine disappeared, and the time that other normal cradles can wait for is probably not shorter than the lifespan of a star, right?

10 billion years...... The general normal civilization has long been extinct, and the star god can do it to this point, and no civilization will have complaints.

Obviously, Ian could think that the end was a timeline life, and the star god certainly could.

Although the star god's understanding of the end is vague, it is probably no problem to guess one, and a series of treatments for the ether and the cradle can prove that although the star god is at a disadvantage, he still has the ability to fight back, and he is only temporarily dormant.

Presumably, Ian has only one problem now.

"Is the time in the cradle really synchronized with the time outside?"

Ian narrowed his eyes.

He has vaguely found the key to avoid the end and go to the outer universe time and space.

And the offense and defense of Xingshen and Final Yan finally showed a corner to him.

The 200 million years of waiting for the Ash Path did make Ash Ian wait for the most important clue...... Aether, the heart of it all is here. And the yearning for black holes in the end, and the powerlessness of individuals in the aetherless space-time, are also demonstrated.

At this moment, the cyan flow of light brought by the Foresight Realm had faded, and the prophecy of the Path of Ashes had come to an end.

In the Void, he held the spiral sword, which pierced through the chest of the Ember King, who was also shocked by the final appearance.

After witnessing everything about the path of the ashes with Ian, and hearing Ian's self-questioning, the King of Embers laughed and replied: "Surely it is not synchronous, boy, even in another possibility, we can use the power of the black hole and the Void to accelerate our somatosensory time, if the Creator really planned everything, then how could it not be accelerated? 】

[Our acceleration is to wait for 'the end of all meaning'...... And do you think that if the Creator and Heavenly Father really have any purpose in creating such a "cradle" as we are, what is its purpose? 】

[Is it simply a captive cute lamb?] Is it bred for ethics? Is it for your own peace of mind, or is it to build a giant cosmic tombstone, so throw all the fires and the remains of civilization here and pile them up? 】

The arms, legs, and limbs had begun to turn into pure white ashes and flames to dissipate, but the King of Ember raised his head and looked at the sky with his eyes as bright as flames: "Of course not—Heavenly Father is the hope that we, the 'cradle children', can grow up to the point where we can catch up with them! 】

[Then, when we catch up with them, we can leave the cradle and fight with them against the end!] 】

Lowering his head, the Ember King looked at Ian, his gaze sparkling: "He wants us to fight"

[Or rather, I hope they want us to fight]

[In this way, everything has meaning]

Ian stares at the Ember King, who has begun to 'die', and at this moment, he has always been bored with his life and the meaning of his life, but he has to exist no matter what, and the man who is waiting for the 'meaning to come' has finally found the meaning of his life.

- Yes, yes, I have proven myself that I can burn, burn to the end of the world, to the end of heaven and earth.

- I can endure reincarnation, all the misfortunes of life and the loss of death.

— and eventually, I found ...... I found the meaning of my life, which I can accept, life!

If it is said that the king of the embers of the path of ashes has finally obtained the truth of everything.

Then the [now] Ember King knows that his significance in this possibility is to expose it all for Ian Silverpeak!

Prophets who can transform the world and choose different futures...... His fight, his presence, is needed to prepare for the future to defeat more formidable opponents and find a better future!

was not unwilling to this ending, and calmly admitted that he was defeated.

The man, who was satisfied with both the battle and his life, expressed his opinion to Ian: "Although the Heavenly Father is merciful, the war has reached this point and does not allow the Heavenly Father to continue to be merciful—they need more strength to overcome stronger enemies."

[The End of Stagnation and the Cradle of Acceleration...... During the period when the end of the world is stagnant due to the disappearance of the aether, the civilization in the cradle can be accelerated, giving birth to more Heavenly Fathers to fight back.]

[We are their descendants, or in other words, only you, only people like Ian Yinfeng, can become the new star god, and become the 'help' who comes out of the cradle and helps the star god!] 】

[This is the original intention of the cradle - the fire of a thousand stars, the existence of a perpetual motion machine, it turns out that it is for this. In order for all civilizations to learn from each other, integrate with each other, and work together to shape a greater home, so that the best of all civilizations can become a new Heavenly Father and Creator, so that Heavenly Father will build the cradle.

"You're right."

Ian nodded slightly, he drew his spiral sword, and the King of Ember shook slightly, standing firm: [Only now, I don't understand why you are so powerful, your true purpose ......]

Even the old man, whose body had already begun to shatter, smiled: "From the beginning, your vision was not in us, not in Terra...... but in the heavens that are high]

Therefore none of us, the prisoners of the earth, can overcome you, and none of us can know you.

"There are still some."

Bowing his head slightly, Ian smiled and said seriously: "Don't you know now?" ”

[It would have been nice to know earlier, but it's not bad now]

The ashes and flames continued to scatter, and two flames overflowed from the Ember King's body, one pure white and the other crimson, which were the blood of two different apparatus: [This is my legacy, and it is also your trophy. With these two copies of the blood of the top seat, the blood of Abasarom, the Flying Flame Land will obey your orders.]

[But don't care about their group of rubbish, all of them are muddy, they have strength but no dreams and goals, you don't have to go to Huairou after you defeat me, they are just a bunch of cheap bones, they will kneel down and lick your shoes]

"I know."

Ian stared at the Ember King, the other party's body had been scattered, and without the support of the blood of the top seat, he was left with only a vague head: "Do you have any wishes?" ”

[I'm satisfied with everything] The King of Ember smiled, but after thinking about it, he seemed to think of something funny, and suddenly became happy: [Especially seeing that among other possibilities, you are actually my righteous son, it's really interesting to think about it]

[How do you feel?] Silverpeak Prophet? He teased: "In a certain possibility, you are the feeling of my son? 】

The Ember King, who was almost dead, didn't care about everything, he wasn't provocative, he just thought of something and said something.

However, he heard Ian reply earnestly, "It feels good." As a stepfather, you are indeed qualified, and I am very happy that you can fulfill your dream. ”

"In this world, you and I have nothing to do with each other, we are still enemies, but this does not mean that I will deny other parallel time and space."

"Because ......"

In Ian's eyes, the incomparably clear water-colored brilliance flowed, as if endless time and space had turned into mirrored glass, and the refraction in those eyes was repeated.

He said softly: "All Ian, no matter what time and space, what is possible, what idea, what ending. ”

"It's all me."

"It's all part of [Ian]."

"Our failures, again and again, over and over again, I don't know how many times, have accumulated into the current me, who is about to succeed."

"And in the process, you have indeed helped me, as my teacher, father-in-law, benefactor, teacher, and protector."

"I'm not going to deny it all."

"As with [now], I will not be afraid of all this, but will be merciless and grateful...... Kill you. ”

The Ember King's eyes widened, and he listened in silence to Ian's words.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, he knew what Ian really meant...... He didn't think he was joking, he did admit that everything in the 'prophecy' was true, and recognized everything, including his own 'father-in-law', which he found rather nonsense, as part of his own relationships.

However, Ian Silverpeak acknowledges all this, but he will not stop his pace.

Even if he knows and admits it, he will still shoot and kill.

Before ......completely dissipating, the Ember King laughed with relief and happiness: "You are really a ruthless but loving monster]

[Ian Yinfeng, maybe only you can have such incredible prophetic abilities and know the infinite direction of the future]

[It's just that you can also forget]

Finally, when the last trace of ashes was gone, he said in a weak voice: "Don't remember everything, remember all the possibilities you foresaw...... Those may be in the past, or they may be in the future...... You don't have to memorize them all, it becomes your burden]

[Because you are going to the future]

"Nope."

Putting down his sword and slowly walking forward, Ian stretched out his hands and took two flames from the dissipated ashes: "I will remember them all, no matter the past and the future, no matter whether I succeed or fail, I will not forget at all." ”

"For I am a prophet who will go to the future, a sage who will change everything."

"I will remember everything, carry everything, and ......"

"Embark on the road to the farthest place."

The morning morning light had just risen in the east, brightening the Silent Sea and the Abasarom Mountains, but the crimson glow that had shone on the entire Flame Land for days was fading.

Terra 778, October 15, early morning.

One of the two kings of the Flying Flame Land, the king of the Infernal Flame, Dartis Abbasalom was defeated by Ian Silverpeak, the Prophet of Silverpeak.

To the ashes.
