Gentle sunlight shone into the room through the window. It's not far from the core of the battlefield, but the canopy that merges with the dream realm is still calm.

Lao Chen smiled.

"As incredible as you may be, Herrianko is a messenger of the Old Gods," he said, "and there are various kinds of Old Gods, and not all of them will choose the 'emblem', or the 'Old Seal', as a means of power. Lo and behold...... You may still be a little nauseous, but I'm used to it. ”

Lao Chen, who knew that Chen Qiang was coming, used the power of several old gods to help him build an enchantment, so that the two of them from different eras could meet smoothly. In the past, Chen Qiang only had the knowledge provided by the power of Doros, and he was still inferior in knowledge compared to Lao Chen, who had lived for a thousand years. (Note)

"I don't care if the old gods use test tubes or animal fur to make 'old seals'." Chen Qiang said calmly.

Lao Chen's smile froze.

"Looks like you've finished the Battle of Arkham." Lao Chen said in a deep voice.

Chen Qiang nodded.

"Uncle Far Away wants to invoke the power of the old god Ketanid and reinforce the seal on Cthulhu. However, seeing the way you looked, I knew that this plan was not going to work. ”

The relationship between Lao Chen and the Old Gods is peaceful coexistence, but the Old Gods apparently did not intervene in supporting humanity's "eternal war".

The "Old Seal" of the Old Gods does make most mythical creatures unhappy, and even has a noticeable effect on weaker mythical creatures.

In legends, it can help human civilization rebel against the old gods of the old rulers...... What kind of existence is it?

"People always sing the tales of the war between the old gods and the old rulers," said Chen leisurely, "but to humanity, it means nothing. Since most of the old rulers are clearly 'evil forces', it is natural for people to classify the 'old gods' as the righteous side. But in fact, some of the old gods are just unknown incarnations of some outer god or the old ruler, and the rest are not concerned with the fate of mankind. The Old Gods looked upon humanity like a mustard, like the Outer Gods and the Old Dominators. ”

Chen Qiang was silent.

"When Cthulhu's brother, the 'Old God' of Cuttanids, sealed Cthulhu on Earth, causing a mass extinction of life on Earth," Chen said, "it didn't think about the creatures of Earth. They don't care about us, they just shelter their own race, or use the mortal race to satisfy their incredible curiosity......"

Lao Chen looked out the window attentively: "I have always tried to maintain an alliance with the 'friendly' old gods, but in fact, the old gods only do things for their own purposes, just like a fragile alliance between humans. ”

"Then I'll be 'relieved'." Chen Qiang nodded.

After all, it is only human beings themselves who can help human beings.

"Looks like you've just returned from Arkham," Lao Chen asked, "You've received the trial mission for that battle reward?" ”

"That's right." Chen Qiang said softly. As soon as Gu Shiyin and the others completed the portal, he rushed back to the 20th century as soon as possible, and used the server function of the system to project his consciousness into the thousand years after Lao Chen, of course, only the identity of the player.

The reward of the battle made him have to have something to determine with Lao Chen.

Lao Chen paced around the room.

"So, what do you want to ask?" He said, "Is it the reward you get after completing the trial?" ”

Lao Chen made a choice that he regretted back then, but perhaps, as he expected, this Chen Qiang from a parallel world would not have to repeat the mistakes of the past......

Chen Qiang shook his head.

He leaned against the windowsill and looked at Lao Chen's expression.

"No," Chen Qiang said calmly, "I probably guessed the reward of the 'system'. ”

Lao Chen raised his eyebrows.

"And you," he said, "want to ask me what I did with this reward back then?" ”

"I guessed that, too." Chen Qiang said.

No matter how strong the "fortress of reason" is, it is impossible to occupy such an important position in the development of human civilization without the help of the system.

Old Chen pouted.

"In that case, what are you still doing with me?" Lao Chen complained, "Don't you help me reorganize the reinforcements......

"What I really want to ask is the content of your trials back then," Chen Qiang said calmly, "You didn't remind you of the topics related to trials—the trials that the system gave you were very simple. ”

Lao Chen blinked.

"I suspect that our parallel worlds have taken different paths, and the same is true for us to be tested by the power of the 'system'," Chen Qiang said, "I want to confirm...... How big is the divergence between our two parallel worlds? ”

Lao Chen looked directly at Chen Qiang and was silent for a while.

"Okay," he said, "once the power of the enchantment is exhausted, we can't communicate directly like this, so we hurry." I will tell you about my trials. ”

"The system sent me to Easter Island in the early 20th century," Chen said, "and the 'Chaos of the Wandering' was waiting there." It showed me something......"

“…… After the stars returned, many of the old rulers walked the earth with their heads held high, while humans were only raised livestock and hunted prey. It took a lot of determination for Lao Chen to say this, and it was obvious that witnessing this scene had a great impact on his sanity.

Since then, he has been determined to help humanity gain the power to counter the enemies who are destroying it, even if it is a doomed war.

"Is that all?" Chen Qiang asked indifferently.

"Isn't that enough?" Lao Chen showed a confused expression, "Isn't your test different?" ”

"I need something more out of my test," Chen Qiang said succinctly, "just wait now, the person you want will be here within 24 hours." ”

After saying that, Chen Qiang disappeared from there.

……

Easter Island in the 21st century, luxury hotel in Hangaloa.

Chen Qiang takes off his virtual helmet.

In the 30th century, the historic island was transformed into a dreamlike base by Lao Chen.

In the 21st century, it is a tourist attraction famous for its mysterious "moai statues".

"How?" Qin Lingxue, who came here with him, asked with concern.

"It's okay," Chen Qiang said, looking at the beach in the distance, a group of tourists from all over the world were looking at a stone statue by the water's edge, "I seem to understand a little." ”

Easter Island...... The nearest inhabited island is 2,000 kilometers away.

It is like a lonely reef, alone, in the waves of the South Pacific Ocean and the endless sea as its companion, just like the earth in the sea of stars, incomparably small in the vast universe.

For Easter Island, its only "companion" in the boundless sea is the twisted underwater city - Lalaye.
