Wei Buer looked up at the sky, there were two huge eyes floating in the sky, their pupils were as red as blood, and they were overflowing with a desolate gaze, as if there were two blood moons hanging in the sky. Under the gaze of the blood moon, this side of the world is independent, as if it was born in the wilderness.

"You ......"

"Ida once gave me the name of Swallowing Heaven," said Giant-Eye, "but in the vastness of the universe, I am a subordinate of the King of Worlds and the Lord of All Things(1). ”

"King of Worlds?"

"At the beginning of the birth of the universe," Swallow Heaven said, "only the great King of Worlds existed. ”

When Wei Buer heard it, he only felt ridiculous like a dream.

"Why are you here?" he asked, looking into the eyes above his head.

"I've been watching over your heads," Swallow said, "and you haven't answered my question yet." ”

Fuji remembered that at the threshold of breaking through the earth bridge realm and burying the Dao seed, Zeng was out of his body and stepped into a mysterious state that connected the sky and the earth. At that time, he had sensed that above the sky above his head, there was an unfathomable, all-engulfing, indescribable and familiar Dao True Meaning, far above the entire Magnificent Realm. Now, the true meaning of this avenue naturally comes from swallowing the sky. This is an existence that he can't fight at all, and naturally there is nothing to hide.

"From a long time ago, when some obscure signs kept appearing, I felt that something was wrong," he said, "for example, the dreams I had, the altar, the faces on the altar, the escape of geniuses, the seven doors and seven holes. And Ada's curse - I've always found it unreasonable, what is the power of a defeated to curse the victor? Moreover, it's a curse on the entire Hema civilization. ”

"Anyway," Swallow Heaven said, "according to the description of the curse, the Hema civilization has declined. Their descendants, the Horns, are now in danger. ”

"It's a lie," he said, "Ada's carefully crafted lie." ”

(b)

"And what do you think is the truth?" asked Swallow Heaven.

"The Horn Clan did decline, but not because of Ada's curse, but because of the natural decline process. As for Ada's curse, it's just a story she made up after seeing the Horn people decline. Anyway, it's very old, and no one has the ability to verify it. ”

"Why did she make up the curse?"

"Because the curse really exists," Fuji said, "It's not Ada's curse, but the curse cast by the ancestor of the Horn people and the king of the Ma civilization, the ancient gods." Based on my dreams, as well as what Years and Hearts have previously said, I speculate that the Hema civilization destroyed the Blood Sacrifice civilization after defeating the Blood Sacrifice Clan, but for some reason did not completely kill Ada. However, they took Ada's most precious treasure, the World Fruit.

My guess is that the World Fruit contains the vast majority of Ada's power. After losing the fruit, Ida will become weak. She must find a way to find the fruit of the world. So, she made up the cursed lie. ”

The words from the skin of the Blood Sacrifice Clan are still in my mind at the moment, and I remember them clearly (2).

Fuji continued: "The core purpose of most of the content in this text is to bring the fruits of the world back to the ancient city again. 'The key to the altar was taken away by the Horma tribe and stolen by rebellion' refers to the horned genius. The curse on the fall of the Yama civilization was added, presumably to add credibility.

There is a sentence in this text that seems to have nothing to do with the fruit's return to the ancient city - 'their last hope will be destroyed at the hands of a pair of alien lovers and a half-blood'. In fact, this is the real curse, the curse from the old gods. And the real content should be - the last hope of the Blood Sacrifice Clan will be destroyed at the hands of a pair of alien lovers and a half-blood.

What is the last hope? But after I entered the ancient city with the World Fruit, Ida didn't snatch it directly. From this, it can be speculated that there must be something else in the curse of the old gods. For example, Ada cannot snatch the fruit, or the bearer of the fruit can only offer the fruit, otherwise the fruit will destroy itself. Etcetera. ”

(c)

After swallowing the sky, the two huge eyes closed slightly, the whole heaven and earth suddenly darkened, and the air flowed with mysteries and some emotional breath.

He said, "Even if Ada's curse is fake, there is no need to destroy the World Fruit, right?"

"No, I have to crush it," Fuji said, "because Ada has bad intentions." If she just wanted to regain her strength, she wouldn't have been so deliberately lured us to the ancient city, and then run it step by step, so that we would believe that she could fulfill her wishes through sacrifice. Even, she did not hesitate to create little Ada, which made me feel close to her little by little. In addition, all the doppelgangers of the horned genius came here together, which was too strange for people to wonder about Ada's motives. ”

"So, what should she do to prove that she just wants to regain her strength?"

"I don't know. "Noji.

"What kind of malice do you think Ada has?"

"Regaining her strength is just the beginning," Fuji said, "She'll definitely get her revenge." Therefore, the doom of the horn people is inevitable. She will surely restore the rule of the Blood Sacrifice Clan. Then, the Hongran monk will also usher in the catastrophe of destruction. ”

"So, you crushed the fruit of the world?" Swallowing Heaven said, "You're not afraid of Ada's revenge?"

"Give her the fruit of the world, and the result is that the world is destroyed, and I will be destroyed too. Fuji said: "Crushing the fruit of the world, it's a big deal for me to destroy myself." ”

"Sad," said Swallow, "Ada must not have imagined that no matter what she does, you will doubt her." Millions of years of painstaking management have been ruined in one fell swoop - human nature is like this, human hearts are like this, this is an inexplicable answer. ”

(iv)

"Your guesses are mostly correct,"

"However, there is one thing that needs to be corrected - Ada's curse is real, and she gambled on the lives of the surviving millions of people of the Blood Sacrifice Clan to complete the curse. There is a saying in the curse: If the old gods kill Ada, then the Hema civilization will be destroyed like a meteor. So, the Old Gods left Ada's life, but took the fruits of the world with them. Of course, the curse of the Old Gods is also real. ”

"Ida is so cold-blooded, which makes me feel that the choice just now is very correct. "No, yes.

Swallowing Heaven: "Both Ada and the Old Gods have followed the Avenue of Destiny, and the clues to the curse provided by the Avenue of Destiny are a pair of interracial lovers and a half-blood. Therefore, both curses have this sentence - 'Their last hope will be destroyed at the hands of a pair of interracial lovers and a half-blood'. So, Wei Buji, your choice has the potential to destroy Ada, and it is also possible to destroy the Horn Clan. ”

"I don't understand," Fuji said, "just now, how Ida was destroyed. ”

Swallowing Heaven said: "After obtaining the World Fruit, in order to prevent the fruit from being snatched away, and in order to consolidate her position, Ida used the power of sacrifice to fuse the World Fruit with her heart, gaining unparalleled power. You crushed the fruit, that is, you crushed her heart. ”

"I see—" Fuji said, "If I return the World Fruit to Ada, then the day of the Horn Clan's destruction will come, and Ada's curse will be fulfilled." However, Ada's curse simply says, 'If the old gods kill Ada, the Waga civilization will be destroyed like a meteor,' so why don't the old gods pretend to others? For example, give the fruit of the world to others and let others destroy the fruit. ”

"It's useless," Swallowing Heaven said, "Ada's curse has already closed all the loopholes, and the old gods can't destroy the fruit with their own hands, nor can they induce others to destroy it by any means." In addition, the Shima civilization also had other considerations - after all, the fruit contained magical powers, and they did not want to destroy it completely. ”

The fact that great power hides in a weak body is in itself an original sin.

Fuji pointed to the seven-colored door cave not far away, and Kui Mufeng and the others were still in a coma.

"What did Ada bring them here for?"

"They are the doppelgangers of the geniuses of the horn clan," Swallowing Heaven said, "Gather them together, and you can regain the former strength of the genius." Ida wanted to devour the force. ”

Fuji has long had this question in his heart. The cultivation of the geniuses of the horn clan must be very high, why is every doppelganger so weak. Where did the genius's cultivation go? He had an answer in his heart, and it was finally going to be confirmed at this moment-

"The seven doppelgangers have taken away only nature and talent," Swallow Heaven said, "The true power of genius has been sealed - right here." Today, it will see the light of day again. ”

Note 1: The Lord of All Worlds, also known as Azathoth, is based on the setting in the Cthulhu Mythos, and is the leader of the Old Dominators and the Outer Gods in the Cthulhu Mythos, also known as the "Lord of Things", "God of Blindness", "God of Foolishness", and "Head of the Demon God". Hand Yu borrowed the setting of the Cthulhu Mythos here, mainly to leave an entrance or hook, so that the book written by Hand Yu can be associated with this one, forming a relatively obscure and complete system in terms of the setting of gods and demons, the origin of the world, etc.

Note 2: In order to prevent readers from turning back to Ida's curse, I am attaching the full text here - three million years ago, the blood sacrifice civilization from antiquity was destroyed in the eternal war. The ancient city of Kaze is the heritage of the blood sacrifice clan, and the destroyer is the Hema civilization. The blood-colored altar is the core of the ancient city of Katse, and the key to the altar was taken away by the Hema tribe and stolen by rebellion, and now it is nowhere to be found. On the occasion of her death, Ada, the queen of the Blood Sacrifice Clan, cast a vicious curse on the Hema civilization: the glory of the ancient gods will decline little by little, the bloodlines will become more and more mottled and lowly, the soil for survival will be fragmented, and the descendants of the Hema civilization will have to be displaced, wandering around, with nowhere to rest. And their last hope will be destroyed at the hands of a pair of interracial lovers and a half-blood. The ancient city of Kaze woke up in a deep sleep, and fell asleep in the awakening. Another awakening is coming soon. The power that dominates the entire world is hidden in the blood-colored altar, waiting to be opened by those who are destined. The ticket is a fragment of the skin of the Blood Sacrifice Clan.
