Chapter 85: The Apostles of God II
These words hit Jian Jian's head like a hammer, making him dizzy and barely able to breathe. The brass key came from Agaza, how could the barbarian of the wasteland, the son of the goshawk, be the apostle of the Spirit Dragon? Dai Lan immediately asked the question for him.
"No, you can't say that. "The Elder's appearance is still changing, his eyebrows have completely turned white, "The Immortal is a peculiar being. He's not like any of us. He had believed in my gods, but he had also believed in other gods. It is indeed possible that he had the apostolic testimony, that he could inherit it, or that he could ...... All in all, he is not an apostle now. β
But it used to be. Agaza is an immortal, and how many years did the elder live?
"But he has the testimony of the apostles and gives it to us. The apostle's evidence should be kept by the apostles, does this mean that our gods have lost control of his attendants for a time?" said Dai Lan with a bold conjecture. God lost His key.
"The servants of our gods have been endowed with special powers, and we often walk through the realms. Even though our gods have prescribed where to go and where not to go, accidents still happen sometimes. Keys can be lost in other realms. God created seven keys, but there are no seven apostles. The Elder's body was slowly shrinking, he was not very tall in the first place, but now he had become even thinner, and his face was full of wrinkles so that Yu Jian could not find any words to describe his aging.
"He expects us to be the new apostles, to inherit the key?"
"I've guessed his intentions, and I know the reason, but I can't tell you unless he wants to. You can be sure that He will not harm you, but has been providing protection, especially one of you. β
"It has to be you. He is protecting you, and my children and I are in your light. Dai Lan stretched out her hand and held Yu Jian's hand.
"What about Old Man Huang?" Yu Jian asked, "He is also an apostle?"
"He inherited the key of the vermilion and guarded it outside the Whispering Forest for many years. If a permit holder comes, he is responsible for introducing the forest. β
Shui Yue, who had been silent, suddenly said, "How did the person who was about to enter the village get the apostolic evidence?
"In the realm, there are infinite possibilities, so you don't have to worry about guessing. He will be able to walk through the realm, just as you and I do. The elder looked very tired, and his voice suddenly grew old, the same age as he was. He stood up, trembling: "The turmoil in the desolate wilderness has intensified lately, and I have lost too much. Now that man came with malice, and the village was not well defended. Mizugoshi, go and gather everyone. Notify the guardians to come back as much as possible. β
The situation in the village was worse than I had imagined. He and Dai Lan were on their side and supported the Great Elder: "Elder, are you okay...... Tell us, what to do?"
"You don't need to do anything for the village, that's not your fate. I also know that the Immortals do not want you to have such a fate. The elder smiled, the wrinkles of horror making him look like a dying man waiting for death to be called, rather than a servant of God. "That's my fate. If danger does come, the water will help you get out. Shuiyue, you're going to do it, right?"
Shui Yue looked at the elder with a sad face: "I will." With that, he turned and walked out.
The elder watched Shui Yue leave, then closed his eyes, "I haven't been in contact with the Immortal for many years, and I didn't expect him to guide the Inheritor here. I've travelled with him and fought alongside him, so I know a part of him. Only a very small part, no one can really understand him all. Because my life has an end. He seemed to be immersed in memories of the past, which must have been quite long and chaotic, and there was some pain.
If it weren't for the pain in my body reminding me that everything was so real, it would have been a terrible mystery. I was immersed in an incomprehensible, real and false dream, Yu Jian thought. It is completely impossible to distinguish between true and false.
The old face of the elder suddenly began to recede again, as if spring had returned to the earth, life had awakened from the long freezing of the snow season, green, pink, and red had returned, and the wrinkles had gradually smoothed and smoothed, all slowly, just as the elder had spoken. But it really happens. "Most of the people in this village are realm travelers, selected by our gods from all realms. Not everyone believes in him, but everyone has a common goal: to stop the expansion of the Abyssal Demons. For example, the original owner of this house, Nightshade, was a Cincinnamo from the Turbulent Realm, and the grandmother next door was from the Valence Realm, both of which had been invaded by the Abyssal Demons, and the demons had destroyed their home, so they were willing to join us in the battle. β
In this way, there are otherworldly creatures living next door...... That grandma is not from our world.
"Abyssal Demon...... What kind of existence are they?" Agasha briefly mentioned how the Boundless Abyss was constituted, a general term outside of the mortal and divine realms, the Void Realm that they once thought existed.
"Evil beings from other realms. Their purpose is to create destruction and chaos, and the Abyss is boundless, just as the multiverse is infinite and has no borders, and those beings who love destruction and destruction are gathered in the Abyss, they may have their own organization, but they are more driven by their evil nature, and they act in a regular manner. We can't learn more about them, because there are sealing barriers between the realms, and we can't and won't be allowed to enter the Abyss. The Creator created our realm called Γres and provided protection from the easy entry of malevolent beings and destructive beings. But this protection, as you can see, can fail. The rise and fall of the gods will affect the creator. There had already been some turmoil in the Qingming Divine Realm, which had a direct impact on the protection that the Creator had exerted on the realm. β
Now the protection is weakened.
"I just learned that our world is called Eres, Eres...... It's not a word we're familiar with. Dai Lan muttered to herself.
"This comes from the original language of the Creator, which the gods called the ancient language, and Γres means 'faith'. The Creator built this world with faith, so we all have our own gods. β
The pain is getting worse. Since entering this room, the discomfort in his body has become more and more intense, is it related to the magical power in it?Yu Jian was frustrated to find that his perception was becoming weaker......
"You talk about turmoil, that's why there's such a thing as Dragon's Day?" Dai Lan continued to ask, which was what he wanted to know.
"My God is currently out of the Qingming Divine Realm, and he is seeking support from other realms, so he can't appear on the day of the dragon's face. Existing members of our village, like were, part of the harvest of his travels. The destructive instincts of the Abyssal Demons made them the common enemies of the multiverse, but there were too many of them and too much power. The multiverse must have a long-term alliance to counter and contain them. β
The reason for the absence of the dragon god on the day of the dragon face has always been a puzzling secret, and now it has finally been solved. The theory of the first king's fall from grace and curse is nonsense, but who among the boxers would believe the statement of the elder?
"I think the demons must have been aware of the confrontation and reacted positively. "It's already possible to connect the cause and effect. "They find an obedient helper in the mortal realm to open the portal for them. Elder, am I right?"
"That's right, you're a smart mother and you're bound to have a wonderful child. The elder smiled as he regained his youthful form, but a little reluctantly. "The demons want to break our faith and weaken the gods first, and they do much more than that, the mountain god Sudara has been destroyed by them. β
"Destroy?!" God will also die?
"It's death. The waves of the multiverse have never subsided and will not subside. The elder sighed, "I can't delay any longer, I have to go back to the hall, and you will stay in this room at night, and you must not go out." If necessary, the water will come and take you away. β
Before leaving, the elder noticed Yu Jian, "You don't seem to be able to get rid of your wounds. β
He nodded, and Dailan turned her head sharply, she had been immersed in questions and thoughts, and he had been hiding his pain.
"Cincinnati is a magical realm, and the items in this house are from Cincinnati and have magical powers, and Nightshade didn't take them all with us. Your wounds have not healed, and the wound is activated here. The elder took out a small yellow porcelain vase from the wide sleeve of the white monk's robe and handed it over, "What you need is rest, this is a potion to help you recover, after taking it, your body will be completely relaxed, and at the same time you will lose strength, but don't worry, it is only temporary." It will take a few hours to get better, depending on your physical condition. β
After the elder left, Dailan helped him to lie on Nightshade's bed, which was made of some kind of metal and had a strange luster, but it was much lighter than the wooden bed used by the boxers.
"I wish it had been a dream, starting with Aghaza. Dai Lan sat on the edge of the bed, leaning against the metal railing, "No one will believe everything we see and hear, and if it weren't for me and you, even if you swore to me that it was true, I might have had a hard time believing you." β
He understood. He had that hope, too. Compared to the superficial political struggles of the Xianglong Kingdom, what they are facing is called the real crisis. If the usurper knew that so much had happened in his world, would he still feel that the throne was so important? Would he still commit all those crimes?
An otherwise beautiful country, with a rare tranquility, has been polluted and destroyed by such greed. Demons have evil natures, but humans are no better. Even blood relatives will murder.
They simply exchanged a few words and then quieted down, and the silence was restored. The elder's medicine had an immediate effect, the pain gradually disappeared, and a wave of sleepiness slowly covered his heart and eyes. But he resisted, he really didn't want to fall asleep like that. The Great Elder of the Iron Fist Temple is coming, with something forbidden.
But sleep finally defeated him. He gave up his last resistance, his body needed to recover, and he could only wait anyway.
