Chapter 523: Advent

818

"Speaking of which...... The future events are so messy, I want to knit a sweater out of them. ”

Before Crane could react to what he had just said, the Lord of the Withers shifted the subject to himself, his mind as if it had always been so out-of-the-box and nonsensical that it was impossible to guess what he was thinking.

"Look what all of you guys are doing here."

His tone matched the action of eating popcorn, and it was completely unclear that he was planning to add a fire to it later:

"The God of Thunder treats you all as enemies under the dual effect of instinct and personal vendettas, compared to the Demon of Knowledge is not so important, and his primary purpose seems to be to break through the blockade of the Demon of Knowledge and then kill all three."

Klein chewed on a word: "Instinct? Do you mean that God's will has begun to awaken within Him? ”

"But I see that he is very subjective and active now, and he also has a very clear idea of his goal, and he has not gone to the Eastern Continent to contact the Chaos Sea. Besides, God has already appeared, and there is no need to wake up in advance, and even then, can't it delay God's awakening? ”

In Klein's opinion, if the Lord of Mysteries and God's will do not actively erode the gods, and the gods do not actively contact the essentia, then the revival of the old will should be a very unlikely thing.

If I hadn't come into contact with the Source Fort earlier, I wouldn't have been appointed by the True Creator as a candidate for the Lord of Mysteries in Sequence 6, and I was caught red-handed by God in the Forsaken Land in Sequence 3, and I communicated cordially with the Lord of Mysteries in Sequence 2 and made a verbal agreement full of loopholes - for a mortal who has not long acquired divinity, this is simply a shocking horror and honor.

What would be like after that, Klein's barren imagination was completely insufficient.

Or is there nothing to imagine...... It's nothing more than him becoming a god and disappearing one day in the resurrection of the Lord of Mysteries, right?

In the future, he may seek to save himself from the long period of divinity and the doomed death of one day, but in the end he will not be able to escape the influence of the original will. It's like being sentenced to a long, long prison sentence that far exceeds the life cycles of countless human beings.

Hearing this, the outer god showed a somewhat surprised expression, and then understood something and laughed.

"Haha...... I understand your thoughts, but there are some things that you don't think will really stop if they don't have an impact - isn't that a bit of a logical problem? Sorry, I haven't used this somewhat controversial description in a while. ”

Although he said that he was unfamiliar with the use of human language, in fact, in Crane's eyes, this external god who was not human at all was more human-like than all the mythical creatures he had seen before. Even his half-body, Edward Vaughn, sometimes reveals his true nature beneath the human shell, but his expressions, movements, and tone of voice are so natural that they can even be said to be lifelike.

The Lord of the Blight, who did not care about Klein's scrutiny and jealousy of himself, went on to say:

"You might as well think differently and see you and mystery, the god of thunder and God, as a perverted development of an individual."

Hearing this, Klein was glad for a moment that he hadn't completely returned all the biology knowledge he had learned in school to his teacher.

"Why do you have to understand you and us as opposites? You can think of yourself as a caterpillar, and mystery and God as transformed butterflies. The Blighted Lord showed a bit of a mentor and simply taught Crane a lesson, "When you're a caterpillar, it takes an endless amount of time and effort to get from tree to tree, and you can even be on the road or hunted by other creatures at any time. But once you've become a butterfly, you can cross a distance and just flap your wings and take off. ”

"You as a caterpillar, your memories, your life will melt into the chrysalis and become part of the butterfly. After such a qualitative change, even humans will not think of you as a species. ”

"In other words, don't you humans grow up if you don't eat and sleep?"

…… How can this be the same? Human beings will not become another species in the process of growth, nor will they suddenly become another personality in a certain period of time, so that the original self will disappear completely, and a new individual with a completely different species and personality will be produced. Klein was a little surprised by the theory he heard, and he thought that maybe the other party really thought so, but it was completely incomprehensible to a species like himself that could not develop metamorphosis.

Klein decided to change the question.

"The 'Master of Mystery' is more powerful than I ever imagined...... How could such an old man, who could be called a pillar of the universe, fall silently? ”

The Lord of the Blighting seemed amused by the question again, and he seemed to be in a good mood all the time:

"No sound? How can it be!

"They are fighting like the sun and the moon, the sky is dark, everything around them is going to suffer, and my essentia is going to suffer—otherwise, why should I stay in this corner of the universe for thousands of years, tens of thousands of years? I don't like it here. ”

"In short, after this, the corpse of 'God' formed the first 'desecrated tablet' in the 'Sea of Chaos', and next to the tablet is the uniqueness of the 'thief' path."

In other words, in the middle of the First Age, the "Lord of Mystery" and the "God" had an unusually fierce but modest battle, and finally both fell? This may explain why the ancient sun god came out of the 'Sea of Chaos' with the uniqueness of the "thief" path, which was torn from the "master of mysteries" by the "gods" of ancient times...... Crane asked with a little confusion in his thoughts:

"Why do they want to kill each other? It is the same pillar, and it is an unsimilar way, and there should be no contradiction that you can't resolve to live or die. ”

The Lord of Withers asked, "You shouldn't have asked this question until now, you want to rise through the ages, to pursue power, and we also want to make up for ourselves, to go back to the beginning, or even to be the beginning—even if it leads to the collapse of the universe." ”

"The 'Lord of Mysteries' and the 'God' of the ancient ages have irrepressibly reunited together to become the entire cosmic incarnation, the instinct of the original Creator."

The stronger, the crazier? In addition to being cunning, powerful, terrifying, and full of wisdom, the characteristics of "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun" are really terrifying...... Recalling his previous repeated frauds, Klein thought for a moment and said:

"The 'Lord of Mysteries' and the 'God' of the ancient ages should be in essence different aspects of the original Creator?"

"It might be more accurate to use the analogy of different personalities of the same being."

The outer god said calmly:

"We are the same, and you will be the same. The original Creator is the Creator of the universe and the Terminator, the day and the night, the divine light and the abyss of the Fall, the aggregate of all contradictory concepts and symbols. ”

So, he naturally has an uncontrollable tendency to divide, and when he splits, he has a strong tendency to converge.

"In a history older than your time, the sleeping original Creator has naturally split into multiple personalities, who are also in a state of slumber, but have begun to use their power and extraordinary characteristics to indirectly influence the world, and have made a lot of preparations for the real division after the awakening of the original Creator.

"Among them, the most powerful and active are 'God' and 'Lord of Mysteries', the latter of whom has another honorific name in the Western Continent.

"In the middle and early part of the First Age, they must have mastered additional, plural essentia through different means, which made their instinct for aggregation so strong that they could not control themselves and act against each other.

"According to the research of the 'Ancient Sun God', the pillar is the highest level of self-state stability. If the old days exceeded this limit, even if they contained only one more essentia, it would inevitably be controlled by the instinct of aggregation and could not be reversed.

"No one knows what the specific situation of that battle was, not even the Seven Lights of the Spirit Realm. We only know that since then, the two old days that could be called pillars have completely disappeared, and the rest of the essentia outside of the 'Chaos Sea' and the 'Source Castle' have been sealed away by the power of the 'Source Castle' to the Western Continent, where the 'Lord of Mysteries' once ruled.

"This arrangement has led to a problem, that is, the 'Lord of Mysteries' and 'God' have reappeared, and before the seal of the Western Continent is lifted and broken, there is no Sequence 0 in this world who can become the old days and fight against the outer gods.

"As the end draws nearer, this problem compels all true gods to raise a 'master of mysteries' or 'gods,' and the former 'lords of mysteries' and 'gods' are likely to awaken within them."

This...... Therefore, sealing the rest of the essentia was deliberately done by the "Heavenly Venerable" to prevent the Sequence 0 True Gods of the later generations from deliberately avoiding their own path and stifling the birth of the new "Master of Mystery"? And as long as a new "Lord of Mysteries" is born, there is a high probability that He will be resurrected and completely awakened...... This is too insidious and too much, right? To a certain extent, this kind of arrangement is not afraid of being known at all, and the more you know about it, the more inclined you will be to support a "master of mystery" as soon as possible, lest there will be only a few years left to control their respective essentia and become the old ...... The more Klein thought about it, the more he felt that the "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun" was extremely terrifying.

This made him sigh in his heart:

"It's worthy of the pillar-level old ......"

Klein then asked:

"They should have cultivated the Lord of Mysteries early."

But the answer to this question, he already knows.

Because with the passage of time, the different personalities of the original Creator, the will of "Heavenly Venerable" and "God" are also declining. The closer to the end of the world, the weaker the corresponding will, and the more likely it is that the latecomers will confront and suppress it, so as not to lose themselves directly.

"At that time, Amon and Bethel were unwilling, and they wanted to be prepared and try again when the end was near."

"Finally Antigonus tried, and then went mad."

"And Salinger intends to indirectly use the 'River of Eternal Darkness' to merge with the uniqueness of the 'Red Priest' and create a new path of the old days, and then he will go crazy and can no longer restrain his desire for the convergence of the 'twilight' and 'darkness' paths."

The "Grim Reaper" is also forced to have no choice, on the one hand, there are only more than a thousand years left in the end, and on the other hand, the "River of Eternal Darkness" is sealed by the pillar of "Tianzun", and it is impossible to try to control it...... It's too insidious, it's too much! Klein couldn't help but criticize "Tianzun" in his heart.

"And after that...... As time passed, the seals of the Western Continent were gradually weakened, and those essentia either instinctively or consciously exploited the uniqueness and high-sequence extraordinary properties within their own symbolic range to indirectly erode them and affect the outside world.

"The first to seep power was the 'River of Eternal Darkness', which formed a tributary in the outside world through Gregaret in the Second Age. Later, in the Quaternary period, more essentia began to appear on the northern and southern continents and the islands of the Five Seas.

"This is an important factor behind many of the changes in the Quaternary."

Forget it, I feel that there is no point in talking about this kind of thing with an outer god at all, so it is better to ask something else...... Klein was about to speak, but found that the other party suddenly disappeared from his eyes—without any process, and just disappeared so suddenly.

No, maybe He's still standing here, but Crane is once again "unable to find Him."

Immediately after, Klein understood the reason for the other party's disappearance.

The voice of the Lord of Mystery came again, with a hint of banter.

"You've got an interesting help."

"But it's not enough to change anything, and if He really has the power to stand up to me, He won't help you in this way......"

Klein smiled and didn't answer the sentence, but his mood was much lighter.

"For me, any help is precious."

"Even if I let my ego exist for a while, it's worth accepting and putting in the effort."

"So you don't have to sow discord, as you said, I am a human being who dies in the twilight of life, and it is the same moment as your hundreds of millions of years of life, but just for this moment of life, I have done my best - in the end, I accept your conditions."

The laughter of the Lord of Mysteries rang in Crane's ears, and he was quite satisfied with Crane's words and attitude. Klein had apparently realized how invaluable his human life was, and had lowered his posture low enough to exude a stingy tolerance as a result:

"So, from now on."

"Be me, accept me, live with my will until the end of the universe - you are the future 'Lord of Mysteries'."

……

"The Savior of Silver City and Moon City......"

Benson took a sip of water, moistened his parched throat, and recited the honorific name again.

His mood had changed from nervous and fearful at the beginning to no emotion. He felt that no one should respond to this honorific name, and what he said was that if Klein was really alive and really still paying attention to them, how could he have been silent so far? If Klein didn't care about them at all, how could he possibly respond to their words?

It's a good thing that there is no response, so let's let this farce end once and for all......

"Miracle Master Klein Moretti ......"

But at that moment, the moment Benson pronounced the name, the candle flame on the wall of the room suddenly dimmed.

A strange laugh suddenly appeared in his ears, and at that moment, cold sweat broke out all over Bensen's body.

"You're looking for me?"

Crane's voice, the voice of his dead brother, appeared in his ears, with a contempt and arrogance that Crane Moretti would never have, and fell lightly from the height, as if an invisible person was blowing in his ear.

"Are you looking for me?"

"Benson, my brother?"
