The galaxy of the world, the unknown void.

"The interior of this world is filled with powerful chaotic energy...... But it is far from being called an evil god, and it seems that even if there is a civilization inside, it has only developed to the primitive tribal era at most. ”

A surging holy light flashed in the chaotic turbulence of time and space, and then slowly condensed into an aggregate of countless colorful bubbles mixed together, and under the holy light, an old white-haired old man stood in the void with a blonde knight with a resolute face.

"Hmm...... Will it kill itself because of the scramble for the gathering place? Insect swarms release toxins from each other, causing compounds to mix, creating a high concentration of acidic vapor with a low ignition point, and the acid mist is ignited directly by the sun's rays, causing a huge explosion. In addition, there is also the cause of the spread of abnormal infectious diseases due to the lack of timely disposal of corpses. ”

The old man narrowed his eyes slightly, he seemed to be able to cross the world barrier and directly see the situation inside the world, and he muttered in a low voice: "It is the large-scale self-destruction caused by the civil war of the insect-like cluster civilization, and the level of civilization has developed to the point of building large underground nests. ”

"Purify."

With that, the old man raised his hand and sent down a holy light from the sky.

Endless brilliance penetrated the world barrier in an instant, and the golden, white and gray three-color pillars of light swept through every part of the inner world like three suns, from mountains to ocean floors, from continental shelves to basins, all the regions that once had an ecosphere and were now infected by chaos have been thoroughly illuminated and purified.

The blonde knight stood behind the old man, he watched his adoptive father purify the world, and then connected to the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrifice Ground, asking to go to the next possible life world, and he was silent.

The turbulence of time and space stirred up, and they appeared in another world.

"The world is not completely infested by chaos, but the ecosystem has been severely damaged...... Chemical weapons warfare has led to the complete poisoning of the atmosphere, and civilized individuals can only move around the outside world with anti-virus life-sustaining equipment. The chaotic energy has not yet condensed into a physical entity, but it is already very large, and it seems that I will have to lower my avatar to clear it. ”

The old man sighed, a little stream of light flew out of him, and he didn't enter the world, he shook his head with some regret and said, "The civilization of this world has already developed...... Satellite technology in Joshua's mouth? They will be able to colonize the moon in no time, and even build floating cities...... But the matrix civilization has been completely damaged, and even after the end of the world, it will take a long time for them to re-establish their civilization from scratch. ”

You can see that the lizard-like creatures, but more slender and light, with wings between their hands and feet, dressed in strange life-support suits, carefully walk through the ruins of the city full of poison gas and acid, collecting as many materials and facilities as they can use, their current gathering place is located on top of some building debris, and there are some remnants of large floating cities, which are located high in the air, the air is relatively clean, and they can barely live, but the floating city has no source of resources, it is a source of water.

It's another space-time teleportation.

Teleportation is not always saved, and not every civilization can be encountered, the journey of the old man and the knight is long and tedious, they just keep fighting fires, constantly destroying the chaos that has been formed, they have witnessed the demise and destruction of dozens of civilizations in just a few days, these civilizations they have never discovered before, because they do not show the value of being worthy of discovery, communication, they are the fire that has not yet been formed, they are quietly lurking, waiting for the moment when the future and the void will bloom.

Only now, everything loses its meaning.

"Loranda, what do you think?"

Finally, on a blue planet world, the old Pope watched in the void as the light humanoid of his incarnation defeated the evil incarnation like a ball of light, and solved the civilization on this planet from the unprecedented social riot, he did not turn his head, but asked in a low voice: "Do you understand the power of this 'unknown evil god'?" ”

"Father, I understand."

The adopted son of the Seven God Pope Iger, Paladin Lolanda bowed his head respectfully and replied seriously: "But there are some things that I don't understand now...... After witnessing how the poison of chaos could affect so many worlds, I was angry and shocked, but I was surprised to have some other feelings. ”

Hearing this, Eagle nodded slightly and said, "This is the purpose of bringing you here...... Go ahead. ”

After getting permission, Loranda turned his head, he looked at the azure world that had gradually returned to calm, and said softly: "I used to travel in the Mycrof continent, helping people everywhere, solving problems, and eradicating evil cults, because of your teaching, I don't plan to stay on the holy mountain to practice and sharpen, and become an ascetic powerhouse who has no benefit to this world except for strength. ”

"I have traveled all over the Far South, wandered in the western mountains, helped countless people, and punished many wicked people...... I've seen a lot of love-hate partings, a lot of thrilling things. Naturally, I've seen some of the ugliest things in the world. ”

"In the small towns on the edge of the mountains, young women always disappear inexplicably, sometimes the second daughter of the blacksmith's family, sometimes the daughter of an ordinary farmer's family, and their disappearance is naturally a big bad thing for their own family, but for the whole city, it is just inconsequential gossip...... Of course, I naturally would not sit idly by at that time, I traced the clues, excluded the admonitions and warnings of many local officials and nobles, and found all the missing women...... There are some, only partially recovered. ”

"If you're lucky, you're just sold as a slave and can be rescued intact, and if you're unlucky, you're sold to a black magician as an experimental material, or an illegal vampire or a rich nobleman with sadism, hand fetish, or necrophilia, in that case, it's good to have a complete human form, and most of them are very fragmented even if they are corpses."

The old Pope listened silently, and he had traveled the world like this, and he said nothing. And Lolanda continued to say lightly: "Of course, not only women are abducted and trafficked, but some little boys or babies are also stolen...... Some of them are sold to other families who are unable to have children as heirs, which is considered the best luck, at least to have a full life, but at most, such children will become the dead soldiers of some people, experimental tools, or have their tongues cut off, and some limbs will be cut off as a tool for begging in the big cities. ”

"There are many possibilities, and I won't list them all, but of course, none of them really matter, at least for civilization."

Saying this, the paladin raised his head, his tone was not angry, only very cold and calm: "These are all small things...... Father, there are many bigger things, such as the collusion between officials and businessmen, the exploitation of the bottom, such as the dam cutting corners, which led to the complete inundation of the lower reaches of the river, resulting in the death of tens of thousands of people and the displacement of more than 100,000 people...... The king is corrupt, the officials close their eyes, the nobles do whatever they want in their own territory, this kind of thing will not be improved with the progress of technology, a few days ago there was a king of Xishan who showed off his pet maid to me, and called people like animals, this kind of thing I couldn't kill him with a hammer, I know that this is a legal and reasonable thing for the society they live in, and I can't force the ignorant natives to obey etiquette because of their high morals. ”

"You can kill him." The old pope could not deny: "Of course, you have to know what the consequences of your actions will be. But Lolanda, what do you want to say? ”

"What I want to say is that contradictions, strife, ugly things, resentment between people, and sorrow precipitated in the depths of society are normal things anymore, and as long as we have not reached the realm of the glorious era of the past, these bad roots will never disappear. But even in the Glorious Era, isn't there a similar contradiction? What does this kind of thing have to do with evil gods? ”

The paladin raised his head, his tone as firm as iron: "I don't think at all that these disputes are caused by evil gods - because this is the bitter fruit of the malice hidden in people's hearts, brewing bitter fruits, if they do not break out now, they will break out in the future." ”

"But in fact, the destruction of these civilizations is caused by the chaotic disturbance of the 'unknown evil god'."

Eagle did not reveal much emotion in his adopted son's words, he simply pointed out that what the other party said was wrong: "There is no unknown evil god, and the contradictions of these civilizations are likely to be covered up and dissolved by the social progress brought about by technological progress, just like our Microf civilization has disappeared because of the rapid development of technology after obtaining the unified big database—at least not the day when it erupts." ”

This is also the reason why the Mycrof civilization has not had many contradictions that can be called crises until now. If one mu of land is less than 100 kilograms, the peasants will not be able to survive at all after paying taxes, and this will naturally induce contradictions, but if technological progress makes and one mu of land is 3 to 400 kilograms, then the peasants will not at least not starve to death after paying the taxes, and the contradictions will naturally be suppressed.

Regarding the contradiction pointed out by Eagle, Lolanda only smiled calmly: "Father, I mean, at least the 'strife' itself was not born of evil gods. There is already strife, and the demise of these civilizations is very reasonable, except that when they die, they will be transformed into chaos, and everything is as it should be. ”

"The power of this evil god is not to give rise to strife at all, if it has a name, it is by no means 'strife' and 'contradiction', at least there must be an evil god who creates them out of thin air, in order to be called an evil god of strife and contradiction."

The argument was clear, and it was in line with Iger's own speculation, so he nodded and motioned for Lolanda to continue.

"Father, I have teamed up with Earl Radcliffe to explore another world before, and I often contact him, and he often says that the existence of civilization itself is not something that 'inevitably appears', and any civilization has the possibility of collapsing at any time, this is the biggest 'social experiment' carried out by all intelligent life with instinct, everyone is crossing the river by feeling the stones, and they don't know what ditch lies ahead."

"Even a glorious civilization will usher in destruction, and the great era may not be perfect - since civilization is not 'eternal', then it will inevitably usher in an 'end', and whatever the reason for the end is, what can be destroyed will inevitably be destroyed by its reason."

"The essence of this unknown evil god is to make civilization and even all things go to the 'end of themselves', it can be called [the end of the evil god] [the evil god of destruction], of course ......"

Speaking of this, Lolanda let out a breath, and he said softly, "You can also call it [death]. ”

"Father."

The paladin paused, and he sighed, "I want to protect the world of Mycrof, protect my hometown - I only want to protect this world." But to tell you the truth, after seeing the power of this evil god, I was really scared, even more afraid than I was when I saw the incarnation of the evil god of natural disasters coming. ”

"When sorrow accumulates in the abyss, one day it will be fermented into the bitter fruit of death, which is called despair...... So many civilizations have been destroyed to provide power for this unknown evil god, even if the Mycrove world can support it now, we will not be spared in the future, only to protect one world, we will inevitably not be able to protect this world, only with the galaxy in our hearts, can we shelter a side of peace. ”

Hearing this, Eagle finally had a slight expression, and he smiled.

And Loranda continued, he raised his hand and pointed to the azure world below him, under the barrier of the world, the chaos dissipated, and the human form of light returned victorious: "Between people, it may be an island, but it is not the case between civilizations, they are extinct, we are like losing the teeth of our lips, even if I am a selfish person who only wants to protect my own world, now I must do it to help other civilizations." ”

Speaking of this, the paladin also laughed: "My strength is enough to suppress some relatively weak worlds. Father, I don't want to be behind you anymore, I want to go on a mission alone. ”

"Go ahead, just remember your heart."

Eagle didn't say much, he just turned around and patted Lolanda on the shoulder: "But I thought you would need a few more years of precipitation before you can understand it so clearly...... Lolanda, you've improved a lot, far beyond what I imagined. ”

"That's because I'm standing behind you, father, and the Earl of Radcliffe...... The speed of those who move forward is so fast, and those who follow behind naturally dare not slack off. ”

Lolanda began to apply for the teleportation permission of the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrifice Ground, of course, because he was not a legendary powerhouse, so there would be a certain delay, but just during this time, he could still say a few more words with Eagle, and the paladin said with some emotion: "The so-called hero is not to charge alone, but to make people muster the courage to fight and move forward together." ”

Eagle looked at his disciple and adopted son, he touched his beard, and said in a rather dimensional voice: "Do you mean, Joshua is a hero in your eyes?" ”

"Of course not, father."

Lolanda laughed, "Count Radcliffe is not a hero - he is a banner. ”

"He is the banner of our time."

A flag that was erected ten years ago, fluttering in the gale.

"It's just that he doesn't know it himself, he doesn't care...... The banner is at the forefront, the hero is close behind, and our civilization is all in the direction he guides because of him - Joshua may not have realized this at all, but in fact, even you, father, are not involuntarily guided by him? It's like suppressing the chaos intrusion through the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrifice Ground this time, and he is also at the forefront. ”

"Haha, he's always resolute."

The old man couldn't help but laugh in a low voice, he touched his beard again, and said calmly: "Then Loranda, what do you think you are, and what do you want to be in the future?" ”

At this time, Loranda's body has been shrouded in the teleportation circle stolen from the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice Ground, and he is in a virtual state before teleportation, and the paladin naturally said to his adoptive father: "I want to be a hero." ”

"Since it can't be a flag."

"Then be the closest person to follow the flag."
