Chapter 284: Mandate of Heaven
The god Erebos revealed a great mystery from time immemorial, and it seemed as if he had anticipated the arrival of the gods, knowing that when he was awakened again, it would be time for war.
For such great beings, the timeline is not a secret in their eyes, Gaia was able to predict the coming of darkness and eternal night, and Erebothus, who was also one of the primordial gods, was naturally able to see everything in the present.
"Mother Earth... Has it really fallen..."
The gods looked a little disillusioned, an almost unacceptable result.
At this moment, the gods who had a long life seemed to have lost their pride and aura, and they were no longer high, but just a group of children who had lost their mothers.
And Athena, as the new god king, is also a little silent at the moment, with her intelligence, she naturally understands that everything Ares said is true, she has long been mentally prepared to face all this, but when it comes to this decisive moment, only she can understand the feelings in it.
"I can't continue to suppress this cosmic fragment for a long time, the erosion of the anti-universe is getting worse and worse, hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and the underworld has become a complete desolation and ruin, people of Gaia, now it is your turn to face this war."
Erebos's loud voice seemed to imply a hint of deep exhaustion, but he did not complain, for primordial gods like them, everything that exists in the universe has almost no secrets in front of them, and they have long understood the fate and time of fate, the beginning of freedom and chaos of all things, and eventually all things will return to chaos itself.
"Come to the main hall, the chosen one, I have something to say to you."
The god of the underworld shifted his words, and his gaze fell on Chen Sheng's body at this moment.
Chen Sheng was not particularly surprised that the god of the underworld suddenly named himself, Gaia must have communicated with the god of the underworld before, he was very clear about his position, from the time he made a contract with Gaia, he had been 'arranged' by these bigwigs, and in view of his particularity, he may still belong to the more important 'one link'.
Nodding, Chen Sheng and Charon, who also looked at him, briefly looked at each other for a moment, and then he flew down, a strange suction force came, and the space around him twisted violently, and then Chen Sheng disappeared in front of the gods.
And in the next second, Chen Sheng had already entered this gray palace that was even more majestic than the mountains.
"This is..."
He was suspended in the air, and the pale golden spiritual power swept around, but found a somewhat terrifying scene, in the interior of this palace, Chen Sheng seemed to see a dull red starry sky, this starry sky was dead and silent, only free black and red and treacherous mist, he faintly read a kind of law that did not belong to this world, Chen Sheng immediately understood what this was.
That's anti-universe.
"Are you wondering why the anti-universe is obsessively invading our world?"
The voice of the god of the underworld seemed to sound from all directions, and its shape was not visible, only its voice was heard, and it was transmitted to the depths of Chen Sheng's heart.
"Do you know the real reason?"
Chen Sheng's heart moved, as if he sensed something.
"The essence of life is evolution, and the essence of evolution is competition."
"It's a never-ending competition."
Hades spoke.
At the same time, Chen Sheng found that a colorful halo suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, through this violent halo, he felt an incomparably clear force of the law of time, at this moment, he seemed to have lost all the support and support of the force, and the planets full of primitive breath but full of energy appeared in front of him one by one, looking at this starlight that seemed to be hundreds of millions of years, Chen Sheng felt that this world seemed to be left with endless primitiveness and wilderness.
"The power of time..."
Chen Sheng was moved by such a powerful manipulation of time, this power was no longer lost to the power brought by a complete time gem, but at the same time, he also felt heavy, the primordial gods had such terrifying power, but they still failed.
The darkness brought about by the anti-universe will eventually come, as if this catastrophe will eventually destroy the world, and indeed the entire multiverse, anyway.
"You say it's a never-ending competition?"
But at the same time, Chen Sheng suddenly noticed the difference in the vocabulary used by the god of the underworld, he had just said to Olympus, 'This is a war', but when it came to Chen Sheng, the war suddenly turned into a competition, and Chen Sheng did not think that such an ancient god would say the wrong thing.
"What do you feel when you see this world?"
The god of the underworld did not answer Chen Sheng directly, but asked him to pay attention to the wild starry sky in front of him.
Chen Sheng stared straight ahead, under the washing of the power of time, he could feel the rapid passage of time here, and in the passing time, the wild starry sky began to undergo an orderly evolution visible to the naked eye, although life had not yet been born, but the magnificent chapter had begun to open the first page.
"The universe will eventually move from disorder to order. Because of order, life is born and lasts. ”
Chen Sheng replied, at the same time, this is also the law of the law that the mystical mages believe to be, all the mystical mages throughout the ages have promised to be committed to protecting the order, and those who fail to abide by the rules will be regarded as fallen mages like Casillas, betrayers, and will be hostile and hunted down by all the mystical mages.
"You think it's order that gives birth to life, but in fact it's you who define life narrowly."
The god of the underworld asked Chen Sheng rhetorically.
"Are the undead life, are demons life, they have a completely different form of existence from humans, are they not considered life? Those beings who are anti-universe, even if they are extremely evil, weird and terrible in the eyes of human beings, are not counted as life? ”
“..........”
Chen Sheng frowned a little and was silent.
"The essence of life is not subject to anyone's will."
Erebos, the god of the underworld, spoke in a calm tone, as if he were just stating a simple fact.
"We can stand on our own point and call the things we identify as life, human beings because of countless genes and cells that make up life, just like all the animals, plants, and origins on this planet can be traced back to a very ordinary monocyte born billions of years ago, this starry sky... The same is true of the universe. ”
"Are you saying that the universe is also a 'different kind of life'?"
Chen Sheng seemed to understand what the god of the underworld wanted to say.
"We all have an ancestor, the Chosen One."
The voice of the god of the underworld was far away, as if it had traveled through endless years and time.
"The multiverse, our common home, is an incomparable aggregate of infinite wonder and greatness."
"But at the same time, he is flawed and vulnerable."
"With the threat posed."
"Because the anti-universe is as old as we are."
With the words of the god of the underworld, the starry sky in front of Chen Sheng gradually overlapped with the current time, he sensed an unparalleled force affecting time and everything around him, he saw how the anti-universe forces invaded this normal world, and in order to deal with such an invasion, a group of powerful beings named Shen Yuan began to be born in the universe, and they were entrusted with the responsibility of guarding this world from the beginning.
Chen Sheng suddenly understood at this moment.
This is a kind of rule that is destined from the very beginning, or a kind of primordial law, the law affects the operation of the entire universe, and all the so-called primordial gods were bound by an exclusive law at the beginning, that is, they must fight for the survival of this universe, and even all the derivative 'life' born in all the universes after this will be unconsciously affected by this unique law.
And if such an influence is infinitely amplified into the fate of a person or an existence, it is the so-called 'Mandate of Heaven'.
The Law of Destiny...
Chen Sheng suddenly thought of something inexplicably at this moment, and with a wave of his hand, he released the corpse of a little purple giant from his personal space.
And at this moment, under the influence of the power of the underworld, he discovered something on this headless corpse that he had not found before.
"Interesting, there is a strong law of destiny on this corpse, and he may have played a very special role in the world he is in."
The god noticed the mangled corpse named Thanos and made a slightly unexpected assessment.
"Could it be that Thanos's destruction of half of the life in the universe is really the 'right' that the universe has decided..."
Chen Sheng looked at the purple headless corpse in front of him and fell into a long silence.
