Constantly shuttling forward, in an instant, Ryan no longer knew how far he had advanced, but in the void outside this world, it seemed to be standing still.

Without references, it is not clear how far you have moved. Only the ring of the long river behind him is getting smaller and smaller, witnessing Ryan's advance.

Gradually, Ryan's divine body began to blur a little, and he had to mobilize more spiritual forces to maintain 'stability'. But here, even the connection to the spirit world is a little less clear.

It's not because of how bad the environment is here, or because there are forces blocking it, in fact, it's just because Kaos's 'presence' is getting weaker and weaker here.

Whether it's a god body or a variety of rules, they are actually based on the world itself. When the 'existence' of the world becomes weaker, everything that has been established under the rules of the world is naturally no longer stable.

However, Ryan unexpectedly found that the power of the spirit world seemed to be able to calm this instability relatively easily.

To be precise, this comes from the trace of space-time divinity that Ryan invested in at the beginning of the establishment of the spirit world.

"Space-time. I don't know how I got here. ”

Until now, Ryan still doesn't know much about his 'crossing'. Tens of thousands of years ago, when he awoke, he was already the first deity of Kaos.

Even the fact that the world had tried to kill itself completely was only known to Ryan after opening up the reincarnation, and further on, all he could do was guess.

Either way, the result is always good.

Moving on, Ryan kept getting closer to where he had perceived. At a certain moment, Kaos's 'presence' in the surrounding void no longer fell, but began to rise slowly.

Ryan perked up and became cautious. According to what the goddess of the original water said before, the laws of the world locked these unexpectedly arrived fragments, and everything that happened now undoubtedly proves this.

Kaos's power has been extended, and his 'presence' here has naturally become stronger. However, this also means that the Lord of Darkness is likely to be around here.

"Here we are."

After a while, the chains of laws were already faintly visible. At the end of his line of sight, Ryan could clearly see that large and small points of light were floating in the void.

Chains were tied to it, and the power of the world was pouring out, consuming the diaphragm on the surface of these points of light. On the side, a familiar figure was standing there, quietly watching everything in front of him.

The dark lord Erebos, Ryan was ready for him to use his divine power to turn himself into a 'secret' and hide aside, but he didn't expect that the other party was waiting here in the open.

Noticing the comer, Erebos turned his head. He looked at Ryan, who was coming from afar, but he didn't mean to make a move.

"Ryan, long time no see. The last time I talked to you face-to-face was 10,000 years ago. ”

Smiling, the Dark Lord looked polite, not at all like he had fought Ryan mercilessly a hundred years ago.

"It's been a long time, but I thought you'd be more 'warm' to welcome me."

Stopping not far from Erebos, Ryan looked calm, but his secret vigilance did not diminish in the slightest.

At the same time, he also slowly observed his surroundings. The 'points of light' were close at hand, but Ryan could tell that they were actually fragments of the interface that were small and incalculably large. It's just that under the dual effect of the chain of void and Kaos's law, the size has lost its meaning.

Only a few of them can be roughly seen to be a little 'bigger' than the others, and that's because the fragments seem to be one of the main parts, so they are a bit special.

"I fought you before because Kaos was only that big. You've already taken so many steps, and as a latecomer, I'm always going to slow you down. But this is not the case now. ”

"I'm going to have to pick one in, and I can't keep confronting you. When I leave, you can still go inside. Senseless fighting, naturally, there is no need to fight. ”

Looking at the dotted fragments in front of him, Erebos said directly.

If it makes sense to do it, he naturally won't hesitate. But if it doesn't make sense, it won't take much effort.

On the side, Ryan also nodded when he heard this, he still agreed with the statement of the Lord of Darkness.

Strictly speaking, just like the result of the battle between the two sides at the turn of the era, Ryan's current strength is still worse than the other party, this is not Gaia's personality defect that is difficult to repair, but the imperfection of divine power.

If the lower limit of the complete great divine power is regarded as level 21, then the personifications of the other great ones are all composed of divine powers that are infinitely close to this realm, plus the person of the ontology.

In this respect, the spiritual personality is not inferior to the other, but the gap in divine power still exists. In Ryan's original plan, there were no such sudden interface fragments, so he continued to enhance his divine power without hurrying, just like the past ten thousand years.

But as the other party said, if there is only one interface fragment here, then the two sides will have to do a game for this, but since there is more than one, there is naturally no need to do it.

And most importantly, these fragments are probably not just here for them to want. No one knows what's inside, and no one knows whether it's an external or internal cause of the destroyed world, and whether it still exists here. On the other hand, Kaos is constantly wearing down their resistance.

When they lose the power to resist completely, the world will simply take these fragments away and 'digest'. As for what will happen after the 'digestion' is complete, no one knows.

It is possible to re-transform into the origin and enhance the power of the world, and it is possible to directly reorganize these fragments into large and small 'planes' attached to the main body of the world, which is unknown.

Even Kaos is likely to give birth to gods that did not exist in the original destiny trajectory because of these unexpected gains.

The time that Ryan and Erebos were really able to explore these fragments was actually only a short time, and that was the period when the power that belonged to the 'world' level on the fragments was nearly wiped out by Kaos, but not completely wiped out.

This is also the reason why the Lord of Darkness waited here before, since these fragments can float in the 'nothingness' outside the world, it is naturally because there are still remnants of the power of the real world above. Faced with a piece of cake that is destined to be inexhaustible, the two should of course focus on how to eat it faster.

"You're right, so, do you have a goal?"

Agreeing to this, Ryan looked at the fragment community in front of him, and spoke.

"First come, first come, let you choose first."

Although he had only been here for a while, Ryan had already roughly browsed through the surrounding interface fragments. Nine of these fragments were the largest, and the chains of laws that were locked on them were the heaviest, while the rest were far less than theirs. Undoubtedly, these nine are the ones they really chose.

Despite being isolated by the power of the world, the difference between these fragments can still be vaguely discerned from the outside. However, the more he looked at the fragments, the more terrified Ryan became.

He had already guessed why the fragments had come to Kaos. Previously, Ryan thought that this was the result of the Great Sun Bathing in the East China Sea, but now it seems that this is at best an accelerator, and it determines that the location of these fragments is in the east of the world.

What really attracted them was probably Ryan himself, as well as the Nine Prisons that had been opened not long ago.

At the level of the world, information, energy, and matter are inherently equivalent, and the same information will also have a special connection. Ryan originally named the fifth layer of hell 'Atrium' for the purpose of commemorating the past, but he never expected that he would actually lure the real Atrium over.

What he didn't expect was that what he attracted was not 'alive', but 'dead'.

This is actually quite reasonable, after all, if it is a complete world, it may not come because of a name. However, looking at the remains of these dead worlds, Ryan wondered if there were any living creatures in these fragments when the world was 'dead'.

"That's it, it looks like a good fit."

"Speaking of which, this time, we don't know what the outcome will be—"

On the side, Erebos clearly didn't know what Ryan was thinking, he just pointed to a target that he had already eyed.

It was one of the nine largest fragments, and while it was indiscernible on the outside, it was undoubtedly a fragment dominated by the dark.

Ryan was not surprised by Erebos' choice, and the reason why he generously let the other party choose first was naturally because in the case of not knowing what it was, anyone would give preference to the option that was close to or opposite to him.

Of the nine fragments present, exactly two are dominated by darkness and light.

"Then I'll choose this, in terms of luck, I'm still very confident."

With a snap of his hand, Ryan picked a shard that shimmered with golden light.

He was actually a little hesitant. The other chilling shard was just as important as the misty shard, but in the end, Ryan chose this one.

After all, this is only the initial option, as long as it is fast enough, no one can only explore one fragment, and this is also true for Erebos.

"Well, that's it."

Looking at Ryan's choice, Erebos didn't think anything was wrong.

In Kaos, Ryan was born before him and therefore has means that he doesn't know, which is understandable. But in the face of these things from outside the world, they are on the same level.

Even the power of [Destiny] may not be of much use in the face of these interface fragments that do not belong to Kaos. As a result, although Ryan was known for his prophecies from the beginning, Erebos didn't think he could see anything.

The so-called 'luck' probably won't take effect here.

In this way, the choice was made, and the two stopped talking, and there was nothing to say between them. At the edge of this world, they quietly watched the wonders of the world's forces converging and colliding.

Although there is also a world, the spirit world is undoubtedly far inferior to the predecessors of Kaos and these fragments, they are all complete interfaces that can exist in the void on their own, and Ryan is still far behind. In the confrontation between the forces of the two worlds, many things that are usually difficult to see are revealed.

It wasn't clear what Erebos had learned, but he did learn some useful tricks.

I don't know how long it took, but even some small fragments had been completely erased and resisted by Kaos, and then dragged into the void by the chain of laws and disappeared. Until a certain moment, the power on the nine largest fragments finally came to a low point, and it could already be broken.

"It's now!"

Catching a glimpse of Erebos' figure vanishing at some point, Ryan stepped closer to the fragment he had chosen. The divine power of [Death] turned into a black sword again, and he clenched his hands tightly, mobilized the power of the spirit world, and slashed at the surface of the fragment.

Silently, an undetectable crack appeared and healed. But by the time it was restored, Ryan's figure was gone.

So the void outside this world once again regained its former silence.

······

The moment he stepped into the fragments, time seemed to be infinitely extended, and all kinds of old scenes were staged in front of Ryan in turn.

It seemed to be the 'memory' of the world, containing His pre-destruction desires. In the vision, Ryan seemed to see ice and fire on either side of a chasm of nothingness, and at the junction of ice and fire.

Born in the first springs of the Land of Ice and Mist to the north, twelve long rivers flowed southward into the realm of the Land of Fire. The river cycles back and forth between the land of ice and fire, condensing into glaciers and steaming into mist.

Eventually, in this eternal alternation, the first life, the giant, was born

"Tread—"

The illusion faded, and when he came back to his senses, Ryan found himself in the world of shards.

Unlike what you see from the outside, there is no golden light here, and there is a dead silence as far as the eye can see.

The sky was dark, the earth was cracked, and an air of decay and ruin permeated the surroundings, and there was no sign of life around them.

On the ground, with the vision of the gods, it is occasionally possible to see ruined buildings or dried rivers in the distance. Everything seems to prove that in the past, there was a race of intelligence here.

And looking at all this, the guess in Ryan's heart was finally confirmed.

"Asgard, the top of the Nine Realms, the country ruled by the Aesir Protoss, is indeed here."

"Who would have thought that I just took a random name and would actually attract the main owner?"

Ryan sighed with some emotion, there is no doubt that the predecessor of this broken world in front of him is another world recorded in later mythology.

Unlike Kaos, although the present world here is somewhat isolated from the outside world, and has formed an interface that almost calls itself a world like the underworld, Kaos as a whole is still one, which is not the case here.

When this world was still complete, a world tree stood in the world, and the nine kingdoms were hung in different positions of the tree, which together constituted this fantastic and magnificent mythical world.

And the 'Atrium' that Ryan gave to the fifth layer of hell before is located in the middle of the Nine Realms, also known as Midgard, which is the world inhabited by mortals.

As for the 'Asgard' where he is at the moment, it is the highest of the Nine Realms, and the kingdom inhabited by the Aesir god clan ruled by the famous god king Odin in later generations.

"If I'm not mistaken, in Scandinavian mythology, one of the three roots of the World Tree extends into it, next to the Fountain of Ould."

"I don't know what they're left of now."

Standing in mid-air, Ryan looked far away. The possible remnants of the god-king Odin, the Fountain of Ould, which I don't know if it has been destroyed, the legendary 'Rune Rune', and the root system of the World Tree, this is why Ryan chose this world.

Although there is a high probability that there will not be all of them left, as long as he can find one, he feels that it is worth the trip.
