Chapter 596: The Last King
"The third and final question, have you seen the Origin Witch since you came to this continent?"
"Nope."
When Rost heard this, he fell into deep thought.
"Well, she didn't choose to see you."
"You're done with your questions, isn't it my turn? Why don't you support the World Tree, have you Celestials decided that this is a war that must be lost?"
"That's right, isn't it worth it to exchange the perdition of one generation for the freedom of future generations rather than being enslaved from generation to generation?"
The perdition of one generation in exchange for the freedom of future generations?
Ye Qiong couldn't help but repeat in his heart what Rost had just said.
Vaguely, he seemed to have spied the truth.
Ye Qiong's inference was not wrong, that disaster was very powerful, so powerful that even the Demon God King, who was the supreme god, could not solve it, all he could do was to make himself the only one on the planet, in exchange for transcendent power, to resist this disaster.
And this is the price to be paid in exchange for the freedom of future generations.
Use the means of annihilation, the sacrifice of this generation, in exchange for the means sufficient to fight the disaster, and completely solve the disaster from the root, so that future generations do not need to be threatened by the disaster.
Pretty sensible, isn't it?
But is this a little too unfair for this generation?
He could only watch Sabrina, Liberal, and Layatan go to the end, to the established end?
No, that's not right, there must be a better way to save the world.
Rost seemed to have seen through Ye Qiong's thoughts, and muttered:
"Until you cross the trial of the Demon God King and find a better way to save the world, the Celestial Clan will not do anything, this is the choice of me, and the heirs, and why I deliberately avoided you before."
He said this for good reason.
Between Ye Qiong and the Demon God King, a conflict of ideas is bound to break out.
If Ye Qiong had crossed the trial and found a better way to save the world, then the Celestial Clan would naturally be on his side.
If Ye Qiong fails, then the Celestial Clan will also choose the Demon God King's salvation method according to the established plan, and exchange all beings and this generation for his transcendence.
"What the hell was that disaster? You should know that, right?"
"I..."
Before Rost could speak, Ye Qiong had already interrupted first:
"I know, but I can't tell you right now. If you dare to say such a thing, then I can only make Sabrina pry your mouth open with special means."
Ye Qiong finally understood why he felt a sense of familiarity in Rost's body.
Like Aponias, this guy is a prodigal who can predict the future.
If it were to be carried out normally, and it would involve the issue that Ye Qiong was most concerned about, this old god stick would inevitably say, "I can't say."
That's what Apoñas guy did.
So before this old god stick could speak, Ye Qiong preemptively interrupted his spell casting, and silently opened the Straight Death Demon Eye again.
He was serious about what he said just now.
In any case, he must know the truth of the disaster, otherwise what would he use to find a way to save the world?
When Rost heard Ye Qiong's words, he had to smile bitterly, the speed of this interruption was inevitably too fast, right? Just now He was really trying to say, "I can't say."
But now this sentence is no longer spoken, he has a hunch, if he dares to say this, the elf queen in front of him, as well as the chosen savior, will definitely act as soon as possible, and use special means to tell him the truth of the disaster.
"That's it, it doesn't hurt to tell you, that guy hasn't woken up yet, anyway."
He paused for a moment, as if to think about where to start, and only after a moment did he speak again:
"You know
A Titan God of the Age?"
Titan gods?
Could it be that the source of this disaster is a Titan God?
Before the meeting, everyone nodded their heads in understanding, and Rost continued:
"The story I'm going to tell isn't about the Titans, it's about the aftermath.
Even the most powerful civilization will eventually decline.
The Titan civilization is no exception, these powerful Titan gods eventually came to an end and disappeared in the long river of time.
Normally, it should be a more powerful dynasty, replacing a dynasty that has long been decaying.
But everyone underestimated the destructive power of the Titan gods, and this war turned the universe back to chaos, and there was no trace of life anymore.
The endless night hits, and the universe is cold and silent.
It wasn't until tens of billions of years later that the first seed appeared, grew to a young shoot, and then to the World Tree as we know it today.
He is the second age, the second life born."
"The second?"
Ye Qiong and the others immediately grasped the key point.
"That's right, a second life."
"The first life that was born was the source of this disaster?"
"There are positive and negative sides to everything, since there is existence, then there is nothingness, since there is life, there is death over there.
The birth of the Mother Tree signifies life and creation, and He represents death and end.
The Last King—Platon, that's His name.
For tens of billions of years of the universe's dead silence, He was the only life, the only master."
When Rost said the name, he could not hide the fear in his tone.
It was an adversary that He saw as simply impossible to defeat.
"He is about to wake up, just half a year later. The Last King will once again plunge the universe into endless darkness and return the world to chaos.
The day of the end is inevitable, and if you want to survive, you can only fight against it.
Fighting the only one is the only way we can come up with nowadays, this is not an opponent who can fight with numbers, only the existence of the same specification has the ability to fight with one.
Can you understand that? Why didn't the Celestials choose to resist, and why did we agree to the Demon God King's plan to destroy the world."
His tone became much heavier, and it was clear that Rost's heart was not willing to accept such an outcome, but what could be done?
Is there any other way to defeat this catastrophe?
No.
If so, with his ability to foresee, with the means of the Demon God King, why can't he find the answer?
Ye Qiong listened, his brows tightened.
He also did not expect that the source of the disaster would be so intractable and the person would be so high.
Listening to Rost, the person of this last king is probably higher than the World Tree?
When He wakes up, He will bring the end of the present universe.
How could such a formidable opponent be able to defeat him?
At least for now, Ye Qiong has no clue, he can't find any way at all, he can't take the card deck and duel with him, right?
If you win, you go back to sleep, and if you lose, you continue to bring the end to the world.
This is not an anime, how can it be that such a thing as saving the world can be solved by playing cards.
Rost saw the people with sad faces, and spoke again:
"This is the source of the disaster, and my answer is still the same as I just said, if you find a better way to save the world and overcome the trial of the Demon God King, we will naturally do our best to help you.
If not, then we can only pin all our hopes on that Demon God King."
Having said that, Ye Qiong also understood that he had no room to convince Rost.
It is impossible to say the last sentence without evidence:
"If you want to do it, you can do it!"
This kind of mouth cannon has no effect at all on old fritters like Rost.
He wants to see a hopeful way to save the world, not to talk about it.
Only by putting into practical actions and giving Rost hope can it be possible to pull the Celestials into their camp.
Originally, I thought that the gentle Celestial Clan was the best race to woo, but I didn't expect that they already had their own plans.
At the moment, no matter how much Ye Qiong says, it will be useless.
He didn't just leave, but asked his last question.
"If you already have your own ideas, why do you want to avoid us? We wasted three days in vain."
"This..."
"Since you can see what happened in half a year, you must have the ability to predict it. During the three days you've been avoiding us, you're peeking into our future?"
Rost was sweating a little, how could this human be so sharp.
Indeed, the main reason why he didn't see Ye Qiong and the others in the first place was that he wanted to spy on the future of all the crew members of the Argonne.
After all, the "savior" in front of him is a person from the afterlife, and maybe he can bring a new turn to the world.
In three days, it stands to reason that he will be able to peek into the future of these people, but Rost only sees chaos.
This foreknowledge represents the uncertainty surrounding the future of Argonne's crew, which has long since changed.
And the person who can cause this can only be this person from the afterlife.
Rost forcibly squeezed his own potential, and he saw such a picture very reluctantly...
"What kind of future do you see?"
"This, the future will be spoken..."
"Speaking out in the future, it will inevitably change, I know the rules of you gods."
"In that case..."
"But I still have to know, looking at you like this, the future you see should be the end of my failure, otherwise how could you choose neutrality? Since it's the end of failure, what's the point in saying it? What I'm waiting for now to do now isn't it to change the outcome of failure?"
Rost admits that the human was so eloquent that he couldn't say no.
"The future I see is not a failure."
Rost hesitated for a moment before projecting a picture.
Ye Qiong saw it, saw him ascend to the God Realm, and came to the front of the Demon God King.
He didn't come here alone, he had a large follower behind him.
Goblins that grow on dragon scales,
A human in black dragon armor,
The king of the holy spear,
Dragonslayers in silver armor,
A half-dragon girl, a witch on a broomstick, and a blonde girl.
What's going on?
The people who appeared behind him, Ye Qiong was naturally no stranger.
Goblin Tyrant, Self after absorbing the power of Dakaha, Leah, Casmod, Idas, Kelly, Ann Jones...
The people who appeared behind him were either himself or those who had established bonds with him, and some strong people who had never met also followed him.
The powerhouses of different eras and different worlds actually gathered together at this moment to challenge the Demon God King?
During this period, what did Ye Qiong go through to create this picture?
Rost's voice rang out, and he was heard:
"That's all I see, and I don't know if you've succeeded or failed, so I'll just wait and see."
Just through such a picture, it is really impossible to see who wins and who loses.
Ye Qiong naturally heard Rost's words, but he didn't answer out loud, but fell into deep thought.
Since such a picture has appeared, it means that this kind of thing has indeed happened in the future.
This is the answer he is looking for in the future?
Summoning powerhouses from different eras here, challenging the Demon God King, and crossing the trials of this Demon God King?
Putting aside the feasibility of this approach for the time being, what Ye Qiong wants to know is, how did he do it?
Summoning magic through Immortal?
However, this magic can only summon a maximum of seven Heroic Spirits.
The picture that appeared in front of Ye Qiong had obviously exceeded the limit of seven.
There must be other ways for him to break through this restriction and summon these powerhouses.
What is it exactly?
In the future, he successfully got the Chaos Domain to the bottom and obtained this power?
"Little friend, you have other questions, if not, you don't need to waste time here, go find other races, they may not be as open as me, maybe you can get their help."
Ye Qiong had already gotten everything he wanted to know from Rost, and there was really no need to stay here.
Returning with Sabrina and the others, they returned to the Argonne.
The conversation in the air was so informative that none of the people back on board spoke.
Until Ye Qiong took the initiative to speak, breaking the silence.
"What do you think, after learning the truth, do you still want to embark on this journey?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present couldn't help but fall into silence.
Hepp, a straightforward strong man, was the first to speak:
"Since Mother chose to challenge the Demon God King, it means that He also does not approve of the Demon God King's salvation methods, and I, as His heir, must follow Mother."
Liber didn't speak, just looked at the elven queen to whom she was loyal.
"I'll continue this journey, and I can't watch the Horde go down no matter what."
This is Sabrina's answer.
Even though she knew who her opponent was, she still wanted to struggle, trying to find a ray of light.
