Leon had the feeling that he was dreaming, and he secretly slashed his fingertips with the sharp horns of the phantom in the wind, and the realism of the blood flowing made him believe that it was all true.

Behind that unpretentious door there was a huge, empty room, or a square, if a building was to be called by its size. It is a colorful space, nearly twenty times the diameter of the passage, and it is even taller and more slanted downward, and various colorful gas fragments fill the space, which not only obscures the zenith, but also makes the circular square look more fantastic. The reason why it is circular is that there is a thick column in the middle of the square, and if you have the patience to spend ten minutes around it, you will find that it is this pillar that supports the entire space from top to bottom.

Leon was interested in the sports competitions of the old days, and he thought it was like a gigantic discus, hollow, discus full of colored gas.

And the three of them are like ants on the edge of the discus.

"This is the holy thing" Huang Zifang's voice sounded, and he even brought a little emotion when he said "holy relic", he seemed to be looking forward to this place,

"Every reservation has this ...... Things?" Leon asked as he thought, he could already see that the so-called "holy relics" were definitely not this huge space, or those colored air masses floating in mid-air, but the pillar in the middle, just the pillar. Everything around it, even the complex known as the Monk's Hall, was just a vassal, and the only core part was the pillar.

"Not every reserved area has it, but where there are holy relics, there are apostles of the Eye of God, there are a total of 81 apostles, so there are 5 reserved areas that have no holy relics" Huang Zifang replied while taking Leon and they began to walk down, and Leon quickly converted it in his mind, he didn't quite understand why Huang Zifang answered his question in such a strange way, but he still quickly calculated that out of the 32 reserved areas, there were a total of 27 such holy relics. These numbers appeared in Leon's mind instantly, and brought him a series of analysis results, and the golden ball in his body even only rotated half a circle, and then lazily stopped.

"That is, there will be three bishops around each relic?" Leon asked casually, as they approached the central column, which was so large that it shocked the senses,

"You are really smart" Huang Zifang acquiesced quietly, and Leon suddenly understood why his answer was so strange, because the bishop was violating discipline and answering some taboo questions, so, is taboo the key word "three apostles"?

More thought threads extended, and the six golden balls finally had a chance to spin wildly, quickly getting different answers in each arc, and with intuition, Leon chose one of the particularly strange analysis results, and asked:

"This three-person configuration represents three different sects? Are you in a relationship of opposing cooperation?Has this cooperation lasted for a long time?" Leon's voice was still idle, as if he was talking about today's weather, but Huang Zifang stopped a little unexpectedly, half-sideways as if waiting for Leon to follow, so Leon took a big step to follow him, and then heard Huang Zifang whisper:

"It's not good to be too smart," he continued, but his steps seemed to be slower than before, and he had been hurrying until then, "I can tell you more, but then the deal between us will probably go deeper"

Leon laughed unabashedly, with smugness in his smile,

"Apart from the in-depth cooperation between the Tuolan family and the Edison family, what else can I do for you? Bring down Darius and make Bishop Hugh Grant completely lost for a while?" Leon asked a series of questions, but Huang Zifang never spoke, and replied after a while:

"Now is not the time to say it, you will know when the time comes, but I can answer your previous question now, which is about the three apostles"

Leon was slightly stunned, for some reason, he felt deeply uneasy when he heard the word "three apostles" from Huang Zifang's mouth, but Huang Zifang said to himself:

"The three apostles do come from three aspects, but they are not three sects, of course, we do have our own independent opinions, but it is inappropriate to call them three sects, in fact, we come from three different timeline segments" Huang Zifang said calmly, and Leon had an urge to pierce his fingers, he couldn't believe his ears,

"Three timeline segments? What do you mean? Are they just three different historical spaces? This, this ......" his smile became awkward,

"It can't be"

"Ah, when most people hear this, they will say this, and you are not exempt from vulgarity" This time it was Huang Zifang's turn to raise the corners of his mouth a little proudly, "The so-called timeline segment is definitely not three points in time, but three different historical contexts, can you understand this concept?" At this moment, they had already walked under the giant cylinder, only five meters away from the huge holy relic.

Leon tilted his head up at a ninety-degree angle, looking at the behemoth, his mind trying to analyze every word Huang Zifang said, and fell into a complete meditative state for a while, but his current way of thinking allowed him to perform multiple independent actions at the same time, which was what made those golden balls special. So, while contemplating the timeline segment, he also observed the column, which had no complicated and delicate patterns, and no traces of artificial carving, like a weathered stone in the wilderness, but rough at the same time with a perfect arc, forming this pillar that looked round from a hundred meters away...... Then he suddenly asked:

"Are you from the same point in time on different axle segments?"

Huang Zifang really laughed this time:

"Your mind is truly extraordinary," he replied with emotion, and then continued:

"Yes, but it is not accurate to call it the same time, the popular explanation should be the same level of civilization, we all have the scientific and technological ability to break through the axis space, and we have been quite mature in the study of time travel, and have been able to control the trajectory of many historical developments, but we are all difficult to find that pass" His tone carried more emotion, as if some distant past touched his mind,

"Pass?" Leon felt that after entering this place, he could only ask questions, he knew too little about the knowledge of the spatial axis segment, and Huang Zifang seemed to know this, so he always explained in the most popular language,

"Yes, Sekiguchi, can only be described in that word. We all deduce the inevitable ultimate demise. It can be said that we have a common ecological environment, common political problems, and at the same time have common enemies, and we all lose, and it is difficult to survive if we lose," Huang Zifang explained very succinctly, these words sound like they have been told countless times,

"Pass......" Leon repeated to himself, "can you say that this pass is not the future, but the past?

"Yes, you're right, but I don't want to praise you for your intelligence, which makes me a little unbearable to say what is next" Huang Zifang also looked up at the huge cylinder, "But this is the program, you have to know all this" His smile became bitter,

"We existed on the same axis at a certain point in time, but there were people and things that caused too many variables to happen at that point in time, so inevitably, this point collapsed and shattered into countless pieces, and we and you belong to one of these fragments" He pointed to the pillar and continued:

"These relics are fragmented beacons of time, I don't know who built them using what method, or these things are the products of fragmentation, and it is these beacons that allow humans who have broken through the axial space to find all these fragments. However, in the process of the simultaneous development of many axial spaces, most of the branches are still missing, very many, like ...... It's like the branches of the tree have grown to the end, leaving no trace, and there is no chance to find the cause, just disappearing"

"Will our branch disappear too? when?" Leon looked at the pillar suspiciously, he remembered that when he observed from a distance, he had felt that the obelisk in the middle of the monk's hall complex was very strange, that thing was out of step with everything around it, could it be the tower of time that Huang Zifang said?

"When all the holy relics disappear," Huang Zifang said bluntly, "the pulse of the Time Tower will weaken, everything around it will fall apart, and we, the Apostles brought by the Time Tower, will disappear, and then you will be finished" He turned his head to look at Leon, "Don't think that there are 27 holy relics that are a lot, they are collapsing faster than you think, there used to be more than 120 Time Towers in my axis space, but I can't do anything about them as I see them disappear at a rate of 3 per year." You can't imagine a world when all the towers of time were gone, and I can tell you for sure, much worse than it is now."

"What is the reason? Is it irreparable?" Leon asked very puzzledly, he couldn't think of a world with the ability to break through the timeline segment, how could it not stop his own demise,

"Now I can be sure that they were stolen, I said that we have a common enemy, it was those things that 'stole' our lighthouse, we misunderstood their purpose, and only now do I understand how stupid the countermeasures were at that time" Huang Zifang said a little dejectedly,

"It's a pity that it's too late to know this, I will never be able to save my family and friends, they have completely disappeared" Speaking of this, he suddenly became a little excited, "But you still have a chance to redeem it, this world still has a chance to grasp the present, you can help us, it is equivalent to helping yourself" He stared at Leon, his eyes showed a little enthusiasm, that was his most excited expression, but unfortunately a voice sounded abruptly, interrupting his enthusiasm,

"Fang, you're never going to be very straightforward and honest, are you?" a man turned from the other side of the pillar, it was San Juan.
