When the river revealed its true form, the surroundings fell silent.

The black flame slowly extinguished, cold, dark, and rotten aura around Anna.

She even lost color in her field of vision, and she felt the same way she saw things like watching a black-and-white silent movie.

A strong instinct warned Anna that once she had adapted to this environment and her body and mind had become silent, she would die in a real and irreversible way.

"I now know what the price is." Anna realized in her heart, "The so-called resurrection, in fact, they have died a long time ago, and all that is on the ground is the shell of consciousness that still remains, and they are still breathing. ”

The river was ostensibly underneath the aisle, but when Anna actually descended, she realized that the river was actually very far away.

She went underground, pushing away the rocks on either side

The closer you get to the ground, the stronger this feeling becomes.

The rocks on both sides were pushed away, and Anna walked for a long time, until she finally reached the top of the river.

At this point, Anna stopped.

The warning from the depths of the soul grew stronger and stronger, as if to explain to her that even the true gods of Sequence 0, once they were close to this river, would sink there, unable to escape, and even death itself would be imprisoned by this river, and although it would never fade away, it would not be able to be liberated.

This information suddenly popped up in Anna's mind, as if buried deep in the depths of memory, and was only now evoked.

Essentia, this is essentia.

Anna suddenly remembered the word, but she didn't know what essentia was yet.

She stopped in mid-air to avoid being in danger.

In the dark, dead and cold environment, a slight, illusory clamor was heard.

It also shows that Anna is already close to the river.

She looked down at her feet, and there was a deep, dark, unreal stream of water.

On its surface, not even light can exist.

Just as Anna was staring at the water, an unreal tide of gray and white suddenly surged from the water.

She hurriedly flew upwards.

If it weren't for the quick reaction, she would have been unable to resist merging into this tide just now.

Then Anna discovered the peculiarity of this section of the river.

As it flowed through the ground, it seeped out quite a bit to the sides.

And the reason why it oozes here is because there are about a dozen hanging coffins on the rock walls on both sides, and I don't know what they contain.

In these places, which had been truncated by hanging coffins, Anna spotted a group of vague translucent figures walking back and forth, wandering, slowly but without stopping.

Anna saw a familiar face inside:

Sokolovsky.

But he soon turned his back and wandered elsewhere.

"What's the point of this resurrection?"

Anna felt colder and colder, and the discomfort made her want to leave.

"This is the River of Eternal Darkness, one of the Seven Essentia."

A voice sounded in Anna's own head, and it was herself speaking.

"In the next era, the Lord of Mysteries will seal all essentia except the Source Fort and the Chaos Sea in the Western Continent."

"The River of Eternal Darkness is one of them."

Anna looked left and right, "Who are you and why do you know this?" ”

"I'm you, silly boy." The voice scoffed.

"Don't you want to know why you're in this day and age? Do you think that Mr. Fool is really good for you? The voice continued to mock.

Anna lifted her head, lifted herself up quickly, and soon broke away from the river and returned to the dilapidated building.

"You don't think I got out of the river, do you, no?" The voice didn't go away, it got worse.

Anna ignored it, but left the space, returned to the real world, and shuttled to the Chernobyl zone again.

"I said, I'm there, it's useless for you to run half the world."

Anna was finally moved, "I'm not trying to escape. ”

She shook slightly, and a beautiful gray snake-haired giant rose from the ground, revealing its true form.

"Hahaha, do you think you can destroy me like this? Laughed at me. ”

"Get out of here!" The provocations had already infuriated Anna, "What the hell are you, parasite? ”

"I don't dare to call it parasitic, people's wrong ways are very noble, where do just witches dare to touch porcelain." This voice doesn't seem to be yin and yang, and it can't speak, repeatedly stimulating Anna.

But Anna calmed down instead, "You've been trying to provoke me, but I'm not going to be fooled, I'm standing here right now and seeing what else you can do." ”

"Laugh to death, why are you so nervous, what's the benefit of me harming you, we are one." The voice was still laughing presumptuously.

"I'm already the king of angels, and you can still exist in me, so what are you?" Anna examined every corner of her body and saw no other traces, which made her inexplicably frightened.

What can parasitize an angel king?

"You're still thinking about parasitic things, you're really stubborn." Another voice sneered and lamented, "My voice is exactly the same as yours, why don't you believe that I am really you?" ”

"How is that possible! Am I still going to have a split personality? Anna still didn't believe it.

"Why not, did you forget you housed three copies of the Sequence 1 trait?" The voice continued.

"There is no thinking in the trait, there is no thinking in the museum, even if the original extraordinary creature has a mind, after becoming the trait, there is no more, don't fool me." Anna snorted coldly.

"Having said that, but do you know that the power of the Lord of Secrets will make you completely unguardable, otherwise I wouldn't have hidden until now." The voice said.

"You've mentioned the Lord of Mysteries for the second time, who is he?" Anna asked.

The voice was silent for a while before he said cautiously: "If it weren't for Zhou Mingrui who had already come, even mentioning his name would have terrible consequences." ”

"The Lord of Mysteries is more powerful than you can imagine...... An old man who can be called a pillar of the universe, if he hadn't been in this era himself, I wouldn't have believed that he really existed. ”

"Pillars? Old? Anna faced the new nouns one by one, and suddenly felt that she was still small as the king of angels, "The world is about to be destroyed, and if I die, you will die too, don't you plan to say more?" ”

"It's the end of the earth." This voice is not afraid of the end at all, "As long as you can become a true god, you can take the people and things you want to protect when the end comes, go to other galaxies and other planets, avoid the gaze of the outer gods, create another civilization, and become the creator god of a new civilization." ”
