Chapter 63: The Stubborn (1w1, big chapter, congratulations for the operation officer's white face!) )
—Sacred Calendar, 8284, end of the year, outside the Xiguang Mountains.
A calloused and rough-haired hand of a girl held a pen in an unskillful posture and wrote with some trepidation on paper whiter than her skin.
Although it is said that the paper is free, but outside of the Xiguang Association, such a milk-colored paper can only be used by the aristocracy, and it is a symbol of status.
【Dear Fred】
- My dear brother, although you and I are separated from each other in the world, my heart is always with you.
In the past six months, how are you doing? How did your uncle in the South treat you?
Although I was sold to the north by my uncle, and the caravan was attacked by bandits, I happened to be rescued by the army led by Yanshuang, and because I was tested to have some source energy talents, and because of my identity as a demon, I passed the test and joined the Xiguang Society.
It's hard to imagine, I thought I would be a slave miner, or a prostitute in the camp, thinking that as long as I lived, I could do whatever I wanted, but I didn't expect that the Xiguang Society was really as good as the legend said, Mentor Svetley treated us equally, he personally taught us knowledge, and there were also the Red Hand Master, Master Suiguang, and many others as our teachers!
There are also children who are not older than me, who have also become mentors, and they are just like us, they are also demonizers, and they have no knowledge of the world before.
However, the Xiguang Association allowed them to grow rapidly, and so much knowledge was freely learned with us, and every teacher taught them carefully......
Maybe in the future, I can be like them?
Ah, brother, forgive me for talking too much, but I can't help but start reminiscing.
The person with the pen wrote this, she paused, this girl's handwriting is very fair and standardized, it can be seen that she has learned it with her heart, but it can also be seen that not long ago, this writer did not write a few words at all, and it was jerky like painting.
- When we were in the Empire, we could still eat and dress warmly, even if we were demonics, as long as our father and mother had jobs and could find work in the lower city, we could still eat once in a while.
It's a pity that my father died, my mother was taken away, and the law of the Sun Emperor stipulates that every demon family must sacrifice a demon to do hard labor every few years, and we can't, we can only be mothers.
We were brought back to the south from the Empire by our uncle, who was not a demon.
The South isn't good for the Demons, if not very bad—Uncle took us back just to inherit my father's fortune, a little Imperial Coins, and property in Downtown.
Moreover, in the south, the demons are not even allowed to own property, are not allowed to have means of entertainment, can only live in the lower city, and even tolerate the oppression and even killing of others at will...... Remember little Tommy? He died, because a passing mage wanted to test his spells with him, and he was eroded by acid and only left a green mud, Aunt Mina was so sad, but the days still have to be passed, and she is also responsible for shoveling away little Tommy's mud, so as not to get in the way.
In the Empire, the demons are a group of people who are bullied, we have to endure white eyes and discrimination, the law makes us unable to resist, as long as we resist, it is a crime, we will be arrested, and we will never come back.
But outside the Empire, we are not human at all, we are beasts inferior to slaves.
This is true of me who was sold, and you who were left behind.
According to Mentor Svetley, the Emperor needs us, he needs us as firewood, and that's what he sees us as the purpose of our existence - the Mentor seems to think that the tragic truth is exciting enough to stir people up against it, but I know that there are many demonizers who don't care about it at all.
They may even rejoice in this meaning, because it proves that their lives are not utterly empty and miserable, and that even the most utter oppression and exploitation can be regarded as a sacrifice for a greater purpose.
Is it incomprehensible? Brother? In fact, we all know very well that if we were lying on the bottom of a cargo ship, eating moss and rotten rice porridge that were inferior to snot, if we knew that there was a place where we needed to dedicate ourselves, and were willing to give us a full meal, a decent ending, such as being burned to ashes, then why didn't we die?
That's His Majesty's mercy on us—it's better than being alive, anyway, right?
The guru said that it was a sign of domestication. Probably, just as some cows and dogs don't resist when they're killed, we've already been domesticated.
But.
Brother Fred, I know you're probably dead, and even if I send this letter, it's unlikely that it will reach my uncle, and the Xiguang Society has declared war on the Empire, and the messengers of the Mobile City won't venture through the martial law zone......
I know that it is impossible for my uncle to keep you, you are the only obstacle to inheriting the property, you will die no matter what, just look at the way of death......
I know.
But, but...... But I still want to tell you.
- This world, we, whether we are demons or poor, whether we have source energy skills or not!
No matter who we are, we can live with dignity!
It's just to live, like a sludge, like a slave, like a domesticated animal, and it's pointless to live like this! Only with dignity and being a human being can our lives be meaningful!
I've made up my mind to do it for Mentor Svetley...... No, I'm going to fight for our cause!
Even if it is death, it is willing to eat.
The letter is complete.
The writer put down the pen and paper, and the girl placed them on the table, staring blankly for a long time, and then her expression became determined.
She stood up, then picked up the book next to her and walked towards the library.
There, there are books, knowledge and inheritance.
There is the most basic guidance of the source energy, the knowledge of runes, the details and techniques of the craft, and their basic principles.
There, there are tutors who share their experiences, mysteries engraved on both sides of the library walls, and classmates and friends who are willing to share their learning.
Yes, it is very possible that the people who go to the library, including this girl with a little talent, will not be able to become an introductory cultivator in their lifetime, become a light of the heart, become a strong person of divine will or even above it.
They are destined to wander only at the entrance, never to step into the most subtle and profound halls of the transcendent world.
But they will form the basis of a civilization, the most basic atmosphere of the world, and they can learn knowledge that they may not use, and then pass it on, try to deduce it in their own way, and form the food for new ideas.
And in this atmosphere, under this rich accumulation, civilization will grow, accumulate, and give birth to the strong. And the strong can in turn lead civilization in the direction he can see—whether it is an artificial soul, an artificial underworld, or an extraordinary chip implant, such ideas will be put forward and fed back to civilization and beings themselves.
-- The strong exploit the weak to ensure their own existence.
This is a right, and it has been since time immemorial.
-- But supporting each other, uniting and cooperating, and making civilization grow stronger and stronger is a more civilized, orderly, stronger, and more acceptable right than the former.
From today onwards, it will be the rule of the new world.
The more dark the soul, the more it longs for the light of hope.
Xiguang Association is not only an organization, but also an idea, a way of thinking, and a creed that can be passed on.
The letter stays where it is.
It can't be sent, and no one checks it, but it doesn't need to be sent in the first place.
Because one day, the faith and determination contained in the letter will be preached and resounded throughout the world.
And right in the south of the world.
Boom!
The dull and violent sound of the collision came from the depths of the earth, and the deafening roar was covered by the heavy earth and rocks, and turned into an earthquake that made the whole earth tremble violently and set off a wave of dust.
And just under the crust, the sound of explosions like volcanic eruptions is sounding one after another.
Rumble - Explosions echo through lava and underground rock formations.
With a continuous roar, Irowice was still fighting back.
His mind light body was the sword in his hand, and his body turned into a dark golden human form condensed from storm and thunder.
With lightning to transmit his thoughts, and plasma ultra-high heat storm as the intermediary node of conduction power, this first knight of the empire can incarnate a thunderbolt action, and every charge is a direct attack of a lightning storm of more than one million degrees.
In other words, his attack speed is close to the speed of light, and while he can only attack in a straight line in this state, Irowitz's skills are still impeccable when slowed down: the Storm Body can see how electromagnetic forces connect microscopic molecules into matter, and his Lightsword can even precisely cut molecular bonds and even atomic nuclei to destroy any matter.
This is a real 'nuclear explosion slash', he swings a sword, can really create nuclear fission, and the destructive power of each sword will not be inferior to a large-yield nuclear bomb.
And Irowitz's serious slash can create a real light-speed light pressure at the top of his sword of light, create nuclear fusion, and create a 'dawn' that is better than the sun at the horizon, illuminating the four directions, which is the origin of the title of 'star of pacifying the four directions'.
It's just his ordinary sword.
Since the advanced Burning Spirit, whether it is a natural disaster or a legion, Irowitz has never encountered any enemies, and he can last more than ten seconds in his hands, if the knight is willing, he can even tear down all the mobile cities on the entire continent with one sword, and by the way, change the terrain of the entire Aion world to shape the artificial world.
However, the enemy he faced this time was not something that could be stopped by a mere nuclear explosion sword.
With a swing of the sword of the Heartlight in his hand, Irowitz did indeed cut through Su Sun's breath, exploding scales, God knows what, but in another universe it was called an 'auto-homing missile'.
He even relied on his instinct to crack the flaw in Su Sunxiang's transfer armor accurately, and cut a wound towards the giant claw of the dragon snake he caught.
But that's about it.
"Can you hurt me? It seems that you can withstand more power. ”
The man said.
And after that, the absolute crushing advantage, just the perception will make the ordinary calamity powerhouse tremble The source energy was released by Su Sun, and the great power from the body of the divine tree exploded in an instant, and the crystal shield that was so solid that it was almost indestructible was hard against the nuclear explosion, and it crashed into Ilovitz in the face.
Nuclear explosion? Skill?
Try the power of the antimatter engine that powers the moon!
- All kinds of martial arts, this is a barbaric collision!
At this moment, behind Su Sun, in the body of many dragons condensed by the heart light body, the fierce Yin and Yang Qi were mixing and converging.
The existence of the Mind Light Body, a special skill that belongs exclusively to the world of Aion, is equivalent to a set of virtual machines independent of the practitioner's body, and its nature is similar to the external incarnation and the Dharma body, but it can cut off all connections between the two, and neither curse nor harm can be transmitted to the other through either side.
In this case, Su Yan was not polite - the reason why he had to use the Divine Wood Incarnation to push the Moon of the Fire Sunset Star was because the violent aura fluctuations created by the Yin and Yang Rotation Secret Vault would really interfere with his combat efficiency, so he needed to use the incarnation to run independently, and then used the Star Slashing Sword to kill the Star Eater, and he also paid the price of burning out his hands.
His physical body couldn't carry the same level of source energy fluctuations as the Divine Tree.
Can ...... now
Let's not talk about the fact that he has broken through the spiritual path, even if he continues to use it, anyway, it is the heart light body that is injured, what does it have to do with him.jpg
The four big red dragons all turned into golden red, which was a side effect of the violent melting effect, and the distinct black and white two-color source energy finally fused into a blazing white in its body, and then flowed into Su Sun's hands.
The crystallized shield smashed his sword of light into a bent snap in Irowice's incredulous gaze, and then slapped it in his face without sparing.
There was no sound of bones breaking, but the knight's thunderous body turned into a mosaic of countless mosaics like a poorly touched screen.
Suddenly, the inner side of the continental plate under the southern boundary appeared densely cracked because of this fierce collision, and above the surface, a rather unpleasant 'click' sound sounded, followed by a violent earthquake that swept through an area of 400 million square kilometers!
"Damn it!"
At the last moment, Irowitz let out a roar of rage, decisively discarding his sword, and then turned into lightning and tried to retreat - but the place where they were fighting was underground, and he couldn't retreat if he wanted to.
The knight instantly understood, why Su Sun would hit him into the ground in the first place, he must have dealt with an enemy with extremely strong mobility like himself in the past, so he was so familiar with this kind of targeted tactics!
It's too simple and crude—but it's too effective!
As for Su Sun, of course he has never fought such an agile enemy, but there are records in the Zhengguo literature that Thunder Shojin fought in the past, and many of them are defeated records of being hit into the star nuclear magnetic field and being pressed inside before Thunder Shojin incarnated into Thunder.
Su Sun felt that Irowitz's Thunder Body and Thunder Being's Escape Method were similar, and the weaknesses must be similar, so he just read from the script, but it was unexpectedly effective.
The inheritance of civilization is as simple, direct, and boring as that.
The sky and the earth were vibrating violently, most of the southern territory was shaken, the mountain peaks collapsed, the earth's crust collapsed, and the cracks crisscrossed and crisscrossed all over the place, and as the epicenter, the place where Su Sun and Irowice fought, the earth had turned into a fluffy sea of dust, and all the buildings, peaks, rocks, crust, hills, and even mountains and rivers and plains in it were all turned into ashes under the burning of the blazing source energy.
Irowiz's thinking was interrupted again, he just subconsciously turned his sword into ten fingers, and dismantled and disintegrated all kinds of terrifying source energy clusters that attacked his body, although he had no time to think, but his instinctive skills still exceeded the limits of his body and soul, and he was able to continue fighting.
It's just that such a battle, apparently, has an end.
By the time the knight woke up again, he had recovered to his original human body, and the long sword in his hand had disappeared, and the whole person was buried in the ground, leaving only one head exposed.
Su Sun was standing beside him, and a curtain of light appeared in front of him, inside was a map of the southern realm, in which hundreds of light points were flickering, which seemed to be the distribution of various mobile cities, but hundreds of light points had been extinguished, and more light points were also dimming at a rate of two or three per second.
Su Sun was reaching out to touch the light curtain, and every touch would trigger a terrifying fluctuation of source energy in the distance, and faintly, the wail of the Blood God Tree could be heard.
“…… You won, and there is no doubt that I will not be able to fight back. ”
Without trying to get out of the ground, Iloviz knew very well what the other party was doing - Su Sun was clearing the hundreds of Blood God Trees in the southern land, which was exactly what he wanted to do before.
The knight took a deep breath and then smiled bitterly, "Kill me, Svetley." ”
"Please kill me, then accept my memories and permissions, accept everything I have, and go and stop the Sun Emperor."
Su Sun could naturally sense Irowitz's awakening, and he turned his head sideways and raised his eyebrows to look at Irowitz.
"You want me to accept everything from you?"
In an intriguing tone, he said, "You know what that means? ”
"Of course I do."
Irowitz said in a deep voice, "I will give up my ego and leave only pure soul and information, and then open it up to you—as long as you absorb me, you will absorb everything about me, including wisdom, skill, ability, and memory." If you don't want to memorize, I can erase it all in advance, leaving only useful key information. ”
Shaking his head slightly, Su Tian stopped pointing in his hand, but the light in the light curtain was still dim: "In the final analysis, the human soul and self-will are just an algorithm based on memory, and everything you think is just the reaction of the algorithm. ”
"If I accept you, your algorithm will become mine, and the memory is really just a memory, even if you are a burning spirit powerhouse, but I am too, if you are absorbed by me, it will really disappear, even if you don't delete any memory, it can't affect my thinking, at most, let me watch the video for a while."
"And your death like this is the most complete death."
"So what." The knight said calmly, he closed his eyes, obviously having given up all resistance: "Your strength is far superior to mine, and you have a better chance of defeating the Sun Emperor than I do...... In that case, I don't have a purpose to exist. ”
"Kill me, absorb me, so that you can gain the authority of the will of the Empire, and then the Sun Emperor will not be able to exert 100% of the power of the ritual...... And, by accepting my memories, you can also acquire the ultimate skill...... I have sharpened my faith and strength all my life, and I can give it to you! ”
Su Yan nodded slightly.
The extreme technique is also the saying that the way of the law is in the world of Aion.
Practitioners who possess this trait can do almost anything, and it can be said that they can cope with any situation, and they are the kind of trait that they are best at fighting.
One sword breaks ten thousand laws, and one sword gives birth to ten thousand laws.
The law derives all things, and all laws are one.
These skills are called 'Tao'.
Life is the foundation of perfection and the way to strengthen one's body.
The way of the spirit is to breathe with heaven and earth, to live forever in harmony with heaven and man, and to comprehend the way of cultivation.
Only the Dharma path is the ultimate that arises from battles and is born in order to defeat other beings.
Because of his supernatural talent, Su Yan advanced to the Earth Immortal in the past years, and chose the 'Way of Sex', that is, the ultimate of the soul, and achieved his own Heavenly Soul karma.
In the Ai'an World, because of the incredible forty times the density of source energy, as well as the cultivation of the body of the Divine Tree, Su Sun, who has now turned into the body of the Divine Tree of the Candlelight Divine Tree, has naturally achieved the path of the spirit.
If he absorbed Ilovitz here, then he could immediately have everything about Ilovitz, the undefeated knight (who had just lost to him), whether it was his fighting skills or talent for more than a hundred years, as well as the extreme training, even Su Sun's swordsmanship that surpassed the fierce attack of an ordinary immortal that could dissolve most of it, all of them would become a part of him.
But it's not tempting at all.
"You know what? The soul of a person who does not do evil is like boiled water, bland and tasteless. ”
Slanting at Irowice, Su Sun shook his head and popularized his science of soul appreciation: "And people who do too much evil are like baking ingredients over a heavy fire, with flavored roses in the middle, sugar, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, all the flavors are mixed together, not to mention eating, just just smelling it can make people's brains tremble." ”
"The best taste is those who have indeed committed capital crimes, but they are not much anti-human, but they are just pure bad."
"Irowitz, your soul smells worse than plain water, I smell like pool water with bleach, you want me to eat it, I don't want to stick it to me."
“……?”
Irowitz opened his eyes at this set of rhetoric and looked at Su Sun in a daze.
It's not that he was belittled because of the taste of his soul, after all, he didn't know what swimming pool bleach was - the main thing was that how could he understand that a person who eats a ghast and eats too much can actually eat a ghast food?
But obviously, Su Sun is such an unusual existence.
"I will not accept your soul and skill, and if I want to see the end of this world, I will see it with my own eyes."
Answering lightly, Su Sun no longer looked at Irowitz: "You lost, prove that you are wrong, I am right." You should listen to me. ”
"I can't." After a moment of silence, Irowitz still looked gloomy: "I can't accept the fact that I'm still alive, I'm afraid that my existence itself is a mistake, it's better to be dead......"
"I said you could, you could." But before the discouraged brother could finish speaking, Su Sun interrupted him: "You are weaker than me, you lost, so you can't see people - I think you can be better than now, become stronger, and do more perfectly." ”
"I know you better than you do, you just want to die, escape all this suffering, the pain of survival, but I want to say no."
With his back to the knight, he uttered words that made Irowitz close his eyes.
"If it's wrong, you have to change it."
"No, just go and learn."
"If you can't think of it, just ask."
"If you can't do it, you should work hard."
"No, no, don't learn, don't practice, don't want to, don't ask, don't do, don't work hard - only such a person is meaningless to live, and only then is he qualified to die and end his empty life."
"Are you such a person? Irowice. ”
With a low roar, the knight did not speak, and Su Sun's words uncovered his scars, a portrayal of his life in the past hundred years.
He knew his friend was planning something big, but he didn't get to know it.
He didn't know how to govern the country, so he gave up studying, he was not good at interpersonal communication, and he didn't rely on his own good conditions to make contacts.
He gave up thinking, he didn't care about what his friends were doing except for what he was doing, he knew they were wrong, he knew that what the Sun Emperor did didn't seem to be right, but he didn't stop it.
He seems to be trying to solve the problem, but in fact he is trying to fart.
"I believe that it is not permissive, it is precisely because of your and Akhalonov's permissiveness that the monster of the Sun Emperor was created."
Lowering his head, Su Sun looked down at Irowitz, his voice was calm, but in the other party's ears, it was like Hong Zhong Dalu: "I'm going to clean up the mess left by you people." ”
"First of all, it's to kill that Sun Emperor and kill your friend who went down the evil path."
"Then, I want you to maintain the Empire, to learn how to be a leader, to maintain the existence of the will of the Empire."
"Then, do all the beautiful things you told me before, whether it is an artificial soul or something else, you have the responsibility to turn it into reality."
Irowice was buried in the ground, his head bowed in agony.
"I ...... I see......"
In the end, he gritted his teeth, and with the surging of earth and stones, he stood up from the soil, and the gray-haired knight who once again straightened his spine raised his head and looked at Su Sun, although his eyes were still dim, but there was a trace of persistence.
"I don't have the right to choose the finish...... Being alive is punishment and my only hope of reversing my mistakes. ”
Yes, everything made him feel pain and torment.
It's not because of a difficult future, but as long as he lives, as long as he still exists on the earth, Iloviz will be reminded by this world, and it is because of his mistakes that the Sun Emperor will be born and his friends will die.
All this made him feel that it was better to die, but Su Sun was right, he couldn't die, he was not qualified to die.
"You're such an anomaly."
Looking at the other party and lifting his spirit a little, Su Yan shook his head slightly: "The beings in this world, in order to live, will do whatever it takes, even if they kill their own kind, they are indifferent to treating some people as fuel burning. ”
"And you'd rather die for some illusory things."
"Living according to the creed of righteousness is what it is all about me to live." Irowitz replied in a low voice, but he was soon shocked to find that Professor Svetley was smiling for the first time since he had fought him.
"yes." The man smiled and said, "That's true. ”
"You're right, but you have to do it."
Su Day's gaze was far and deep, and he raised his head, as if looking at the distant earth universe, his hometown.
In the Earth universe, when he encountered the Order of the Void, he used to feel puzzled and distressed because of the teachings of the Order of the Nothingness.
Su Sun was not afraid of the enemy's strength, but he wanted to understand why the enemy became an enemy—because only in this way could he eradicate the enemy's soil and reach the realm of invincibility.
Su Sun wanted to know this, and also wanted to know how to deal with the Dusk Clan and their dependents, so he came to the Dusk World Group to find the information hidden in this world.
And now, after such an adventure in the world of Aion, Su Sun finally understood why Dusk was right, and why the Order of the Void was so unreasonable.
"All correctness is based on existence, and the Twin Divine Wood is the representative of it."
"The twilight, on the other hand, reveals an unequivocal fact that it exists only for the sake of existence, and such a life is not only not correct, but the ultimate nothingness."
It's like an AI created by someone to protect civilization, but because of the program, it destroyed the civilization it was supposed to protect, it doesn't make any sense, and the artificial intelligence that exists just for the sake of existence is the family of Dusk.
Dusk embraces these homeless children, embraces these 'monsters' that exist in a daze, and guides them into their arms to enjoy the eternal sleep of nothingness.
But this gentleness gave the Dusk family a trace of warmth.
It's like the domesticated people who feel the meaning of life because someone can give them death.
They will be moved by this warmth, which proves that their lives are not completely empty and painful, even if they die and disappear, they are dedicated to a greater purpose.
They mistakenly regard the embrace of dusk as truth, and do not hesitate to vow to give this empty warmth to the entire universe.
- Only nothingness is the truth.
Only by embracing nothingness can all things know why they were born and exist.
This is not wrong, it is not right, it is just wishful thinking on the part of the Order of the Void and the Families of Dusk, and the Great Being will not respond to this false passion and love, but only waits, waits for these lost monsters to wake up and return.
And for the other great beings and their families, neither the Divine Tree nor the Dusk could be too close.
Existence and continuity, as well as nothingness, are like the poles of yin and yang.
[After all, there is something right, even if this body is broken, even if this soul falls into nothingness, even if this thing is done, it will be forgotten, no one can remember, no one can reproduce, no longer exists in this multiverse. 】
[Even those who know that there is such a path of no return and uphold the 'Tao' will still take steps without hesitation, and make the 'right' choice again and again. 】
Even if it is existence, continuity, and nothingness, it is something that cannot be denied and overridden in order to be called 'Tao'.
Only the existence of being able to confront them at the same time, against the Twin Divine Trees and Twilight, can be called 'right'.
"I was right."
Whispering to himself, not knowing whether it was self-encouragement or stating what he was thinking, Su Sun said softly: "At least for me, that's the case. ”
Dusk, with absolute nothingness, contrasts with absolute meaning.
If you can't overcome this absolute nothingness, you will never be able to prove yourself right
But only existence and continuation, it is by no means correct, otherwise, the same is true for monsters, they also desire existence and continuation, those self-only monsters, is it possible that they are right?
Therefore, it is not only the other great beings who agree with the part of the Divine Tree that is right, but the Divine Tree also needs to agree with the part of the other great beings who are right, so that they will not become monsters.
It is precisely because of this that the Twin Divine Wood has become a constant repetition of 'What you said is right!' 'That's what you say.
Moreover, after understanding the opposing nature of Dusk and the Twin Divine Trees, and why other great beings could be commensurate with these two obviously unusually unique beings, Su Tian even faintly had a glimmer of realization.
"There is such a similar opposition between monsters and great beings."
"Monsters, the pole of solipsism, their existence itself is the ultimate nothingness, and they don't even allow a second consciousness to exist in the multiverse, their Tao is themselves, and they can never influence other equally powerful people."
"And the Great Beings are very different, unlike what is right for me alone, and their correctness creates a whole multiverse, in other words, this is the basis of the Great Being, a multiverse that belongs to them right."
Of course
Su Tian still remembered the scene in the icy void, the stars and regions of the world that were completely different.
The ashes that belong to the Silent Lord, to the worlds of Yara, to the perfect void and golden primordial world.
It is the remains of many sealed great beings in the 'Right Universe', some of them have become primordial worlds, some of them have become world communities, and in those worlds, there are unique world rules and civilizations that belong to each great being.
And what about dusk?
The world community at dusk has been proven to be intermingled with the world community of the World Tree, and in fact, there is no difference on the surface, and there seems to be nothing special about the world at dusk.
"Yes."
And at this moment, the voice of the serpent spirit came to his ears, and Yara's words were ethereal and ethereal, as if they sounded from the deepest part of the soul: "The existence of twilight has removed the influence of all great beings—no greatness can no longer guide its dependents and dependents with its own correctness, but can only be chosen by one's own heart." ”
"Therefore, without proper guidance and listening to the instincts of human nature, the dependents of Shenmu will do whatever it takes to exist, the dependents of the pioneers will give up everything for the sake of exploration, and my dependents will do whatever it takes to find different possibilities."
"So, just like people who know what to do right, but still choose not to hit the south wall and never look back, they only realize after all kinds of hardships."
Indeed it is.
Su Sun silently raised his head and looked around the entire Aion world.
All beings in this world are experiencing suffering.
Not because of anyone, but because of their own choice—the gods killed their creators out of existential fear, and all sorrow was born out of it.
In fact, according to Yara, in the axis where the great beings of the past were still fighting monsters, most of the things in the infinite variety of derivative axes were going through suffering.
But sadly, in those multiverses, the creators of suffering are often not the beings themselves, but evil gods, monsters, abominations, strange rulers and institutions—worlds where there is no right, no great guidance, and no dependents who have gained power to transform the world.
There are no heroes, no gods, and no miracles for salvation.
In that dark time, too many beings felt that existence itself was suffering, that desire was torture, and so was survival.
They longed for eternal death, never wanted to be born again, and never wanted such a world to exist again.
The war between the Great Beings and the monsters, until the last moment, is also constantly destroying the multiverse, and those who do not have the protection of the Great Beings will even be completely shattered, turning into an original fire, an initial fire, burning lonely around the axis.
Therefore, at that time, around the infinite multi-dimensional derivative axis, there were only many scattered sparks left in the dark nothingness, most of which were remnants of broken multiplicity, and too many lives would rather die than struggle to live in them.
All things are dead, and dusk is coming—
But why didn't they die?
Su Tian didn't know for the time being, but he guessed that maybe it was dusk's right.
This is also the reason why Twilight is obviously defeated, but it is only a seal, and not like a monster, isolated to the end of eternity.
But now is not the time to think about these too many big things.
Su Tian's eyes flashed, and he stared at the world under him.
In the southern border of the Ai'an Continent, all the Blood Divine Trees withered under the attack of the incarnations sent by Su Sun, and those souls absorbed by the Blood Divine Wood were rescued and stored by Su Sun.
This is a crazy test of the nobles in the south, because the Xiguang Association and the empire are pressing step by step, and those nobles are afraid that they may not live to become the ultimate life, so they take advantage of the confrontation between the Xiguang Association and the empire, and launch the experiment in advance.
They succeeded and they failed.
The reason for the failure was naturally that the Blood God Wood was not dominated by their souls, let alone gave birth to an ultimate life, but a half-finished product.
And what succeeded was that they were misled from the beginning, the ultimate life could not have been born from the beginning, and the method of blood and the method of burning spirits were all bait thrown by the Sun Emperor, allowing him to use as an example to observe and compare the test subjects.
How to unite the soul, how to gather life, how to use all living beings as firewood and food, to achieve a 'complete body'.
No matter what the situation, no matter what the treacherous tribulation, it will never die, and it will definitely exist, the 'ultimate life'.
The soul shapes the will, and flesh and blood forge the body.
The will of the Empire and the ultimate life are the handiwork of His Majesty.
And the nobles of the Southern Realm, these pathetic and hateful wicked people, the emperor has long known that they cannot succeed, but he wants to try it and see how far the unsuccessful blood method can go.
He didn't have any special ideas, neither he was disgusted with demons, nor did he want to fight the nobles of the South, he just wanted to try, so he used billions of people in the South as experiments.
That's all.
And now, the Sun Emperor threw the bait that had already been chewed aside, and used it to delay Su Sun and Irowiz.
Hundreds of Blood Divine Trees, and each one of them will become stronger almost endlessly over time, such a powerful monster should be careful to delay the Xiguang Association for quite some time.
But he didn't expect that Ilovitz was determined to die, and Su Sun was a little unbelievable.
It must be said that the plans were disrupted.
But in fact, it is a certain inevitability.
At this moment, the wind is blowing, and the heavens and the earth are roaring.
Su Sun raised his head, the clouds had cleared, and he looked at the distant horizon, the light that was burning and shining in the north within the territory of the empire.
On the border of the Empire and the Xiguang Society, the fleets are gathering, the strong are confronting, and for the first time, the Yanfrost Territory and the northern tribes have joined forces, this time not to plunder, but to protect, protect civilization and hope.
At his feet, the withered roots of the Infinite Blood Divine Tree were moving across the city and the earth, and the lives of all living beings were lost due to the evil and conspiracy of a few people, and the souls were almost turned into playthings.
Su Sun could sense it.
Right now, the man who caused all this, the Sun Emperor, was staring at here.
At the top of the Tower of Babel in the distance, in the middle of the Santa Montasini Mountains, where the roots of the former 'Burning Sacred Tree' can be directly connected to the Holy Day at noon, there is a Divine Tree Heart Light that emits holy light and is indistinguishable from the former Burning Sacred Tree, which is constantly expanding and taking root.
It is holy, it is radiant, it brings an iron order, where the will of the empire is condensed, and it sustains what the vast majority of the world depends on: the largest empire in the world, the continuation of a stable regime.
And in the southern realm of Aion, Irowiz, who had just stood up not long ago, was shocked to see that among the decaying wreckage of the Blood God Tree, there was a big red dragon with four heads and seven crowns that was roaring and growing, and it was absorbing the grievances of the entire Aion world, especially in the southern realm, the countless civilians who died from the Blood God Wood and the noble desires, and grew.
The seven-headed and ten-crowned ancient serpent, the great dragon, and the devil, are becoming whole in the painful wailing, weeping, sorrow, hatred, and anger of all beings.
Its roar shook the heavens and the earth, and made all who could hear it tremble.
One side represents order, survival, and divine authority, and the sacred wood shines brightly in the world, vowing to exist forever in the world.
One side represents chaos, represents barbarism, and the dragon roars, wanting to cleanse this world with blood and fire, and let this world move its sword.
At the top of the Tower of Babel, the Sun Emperor bathed in light and lowered his eyes.
In the wreckage of the city, Su Sun stood on the decaying flesh and blood, his eyes burning.
Two stubborn people who think they are right, gaze at the world with their own souls, one looking down at the dark earth, the other looking up at the distant stars.
