On this path where the Initial Fire was with the Great Demon Tide, Joshua saw thousands of corpses of the strong along the way.

The strong man represented by each corpse has enough power to support a civilization by one person, and this seemingly large number of corpses is only a small part of what can be seen on Joshua's path...... I'm afraid, no one can know how many people passed through this place and how many people died here.

"Their purpose...... It should be the same as the sages and demon sages, who want to chase the brilliance of the initial fire, and they must all be aware that there must be some deeper secret behind the strange mode of action of the evil god. ”

Joshua didn't stop at the corpses of these strong men, at most he would stop and observe them when he encountered some corpses with a strange body structure that the warrior felt was very beneficial to him. Stroking the shell of a large fungal body that looked like a star herder, Joshua's face was solemn: "Of course, it is also possible that they want to explore the source of the Great Demon Tide, at least Barnier and Barbarossa have said more than once that they want to explore the origin of the Demon Tide." ”

"It's weird, though...... Why are there no traces at all? That glowing cocoon should also take this path! ”

After repeated testing, no abnormalities were found. Joshua could be sure that this white demon tide torrent might be the only way to explore the origin of the Initial Fire and the Demon Tide, whether it was himself or the Radiant Cocoon, it should be the same path - but he didn't see anything similar to the Extreme Virus on these corpses.

Joshua is because of his personal moral cultivation, so he does not damage and destroy the corpses of these alien powerhouses, he feels that he is also a part of the pursuit of the truth of the multiverse, these people deserve his respect, even if they die, at least let the other party's corpse rest in peace.

But this kind of idea must be relatively rare, and people with a little pragmatism in their thinking, even if they don't destroy it, will at least try to recycle these corpses of strong people who are extremely useful, even if it is only a part of it, and can crack a large number of transcendent inheritances...... As for the Glowing Cocoon, an evil being that maliciously invaded the world of stars and unscrupulously spread filth such as the Limit Virus upstream and downstream, Joshua couldn't think of the slightest reason not to use it to recycle these leading corpses.

"Perhaps...... There's no need. ”

Having received an answer that was not an answer, Joshua temporarily ended thinking in this regard: "After all, with the strength of that giant cocoon, I am afraid that only the existence of the evil god level is worthy of collecting it, although the corpses of these strong people are strong, they are dead after all, and most of them have been lost in terms of value and technical reference." ”

So, what is its purpose?

The answer to this question is very easy to understand.

Joshua thought about it with his heart—if he had spent a long time, walked along the path of the Demon Tide for a long, long time, and finally arrived at a place where almost no former had ever arrived, and just as he continued to walk towards the source of the Initial Fire and Demon Tide, he suddenly saw an extremely large world along the way!

So, whether it's out of material supplements or curiosity, anyone would try to enter the world and see it, right? There may be a clue to the Initial Flame, or something else precious.

Perhaps, maybe.

Sometimes, thinking doesn't need to be that complicated, and the answer to the question is probably as simple as 'curiosity'.

"But that's not a reason for it to maliciously manipulate the Chaos Clan and destroy many civilizations."

With a deep breath, Joshua's avatar stood in place, like a solid reef, and the surging light of the demon tide cut through it, and he began to think about his next plan: "If that glowing cocoon is going to stay outside the world of stars for a long time, and continues to plan to invade the world of stars. ”

"I'm afraid, that's all I can do."

……

Starfall 848, March 24, Mycrof World, Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice Ground, Stargate Void Base.

Inside the Church of the Seven Sacred Mountain battleship, in a quiet room with simple décor.

The adopted son of the Pope of the Seven Gods, the newly promoted legendary paladin Loranda, opens her mental terminal and receives an urgent report from the multi-galactic Microft form and colony.

"Is it a direct communication from the Archbishop of the front-line colonies?"

Dressed in pale white armor with a cyan glow, and a full-coverage helmet resting on a table beside him, the blonde knight noticed the signature above the report, and his brow raised slightly.

Due to the promotion legend, his face is no different from when he was young, but compared with the pure enthusiasm and even some naïve paladins back then, Lolanda's eyes at this time are deep, and his expression is much calmer, and he already has the charm of his adoptive father Eagle back then, and his body reveals a majestic aura that will make people with dirty hearts tremble, but after carefully reading the content of the report, the previously peaceful paladin's expression suddenly became serious.

"Plague...... Sudden contagion...... This thing is really hard to solve. ”

After reading the report, Lolanda frowned and walked around her room.

The content of the report is simple, in the Mycrof colony, an alien galaxy closest to the Blood War Galaxy, missionaries of the Church of the Seven have observed a phenomenon that may be a sign of an extraordinary plague, and all the details are consistent with previous observations.

"According to Joshua's last communication, this plague is also spreading in the world of stars he is in now, and it seems that this should be a plague that spreads on a wide area on the scale of multiple galaxies - damn it, what does the maker of this plague want to do?"

Stopping at his desk and putting on his helmet, Lolanda opened the door and headed to the core of the Holy Mountain Fortress, still confused as he walked: "Even if it's an evil god, this contagion must be a little good for it, right?!" ”

Through a special repair pillar in Moldavia, Joshua can briefly interact with the Mycrof continent, and it is through it that Joshua can simply transmit the wave of emotional power to each repair pillar.

And the last time Joshua communicated with the Mycrof continent, it was about the extreme virus - both sides foresaw the horror of this extraordinary plague, and tried to prevent it through various means to eliminate the possibility of its appearance, and after Joshua determined that the source of its emergence was a certain fluctuation released by the Radiant Cocoon, he used his own fluctuations to interfere with the other party, so that the extreme virus could not suddenly emerge around the Microf homeland.

However, this does not prevent the already formed virus from infecting the void physically.

Just like the report said - the extreme plague has appeared around the Microf colony, if there is no accident, soon these isolated colonies will usher in large-scale epidemic prevention work, and even a battle against the extreme creatures.

The biggest possibility is to scrap it. Although it is very helpless, when there is no specific vaccine to develop, this is the only option.

"His Majesty the Pope."

There are not many people in the central control room of the Holy Mountain Fortress, and most of the elites of the church go to the multi-galaxy to carry out related missions, cultural popularization, and stabilize the otherworldly temple, so that the seven gods can come at any time, etc., and those who stay in the Mycrof homeland are generally some elderly priests with strength and experience, but lack energy, and extraordinary powerhouses who are powerful and can ensure the safety of the Mycrof homeland.

Pope Eagle of the Church of the Seven is a prime example.

"I know, I've read the report."

Hearing the voice of his adopted son, a light embodiment that had remained in the fortress of the Holy Mountain opened its eyes, revealing two white-gold pupils that looked like flames, brightening the somewhat dim central hall. Looking sideways at Lolanda, who bowed her head and saluted, Eagle said lightly: "Bishop Ammir has discovered that the Extreme Plague is spreading within the territory of the Charil Void Consortium, and we have warned the other party, but we have not taken it seriously...... These people are more afraid of our presence than the plague and affect their rights, so they have been hesitant to make a decision. ”

“…… As the worldly powers have always been, they never see a greater calamity. ”

Raising her head, Lolanda said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, how are we going to deal with it?" The Mycrof homeland has been protected by the Seven and Radcliffe using their powers, and there will be no sudden outpouring of plague, but if the plague spreads along the teleportation network and the stargate, it will be difficult for even the divine power to detect this hidden virus! ”

There was another sentence that the paladin did not say, but he believed that his adoptive father understood what he meant.

- Behind the spread of this inexplicable virus, there is definitely another purpose, simple killing, I am afraid that it is just a by-product, the existence of creating this strange and extraordinary plague, as long as it is really as Joshua said, it is not an evil god, then its real purpose is definitely not a simple 'destruction'.

"Don't worry, we're prepared."

The old Pope's white-gold pupils turned slightly, as if they were connecting with the body in the distance, and the light humanoid said calmly: "A stable but passive plan, a dangerous but eradicating plan, we have already prepared. ”

"So, which one do we choose?"

Although Lolanda didn't figure out what the plan was that Eagle was talking about, she still subconsciously answered: "A stable plan? ”

"Of course not, ordinary civility, there may be a choice."

Shrugging his shoulders, the old pope smiled, and he spread his hands rather playfully, and said to his adopted son, "But if it's us—it's all of them." ”

And after the joke, Iger's expression returned to calm, he looked at his adopted son and knight who lowered his head again, waiting for the order, and said in a deep voice: "Go, Lolanda, go to Moldavia, where the temporary headquarters of the Northern Empire's 'Department of External Exploration' is stationed, and I will send you and your knights there to help Radcliffe's disciples complete that 'stable' plan called 'Total Transfer Exercise'." ”

"As for me and the other legendary powerhouses...... will go ahead and complete that 'dangerous' plan. ”

With that, the humanoid avatar of the light closed its eyes, proving that all the power of its body had been withdrawn, and only briefly looked around, and after confirming this, Lolanda raised his head, he looked at the old pope who had stopped talking in silence, and then replied solemnly.

"Yes!"

……

Charil Void Commonwealth, First Frontier Farmer World.

This is a common continent-type small world, and the light and fire elemental plane is attached to the outer side of the world and rotates, becoming the sun of this supercontinent with a surface area of more than 1.7 billion square kilometers, making it have a harmonious climate, rich vegetation, and an extremely diverse variety of life and a fertile earth.

The Charil Void Commonwealth is a multi-racial federation with a total of seven different races in its member countries, but after more than 700 years of joint rule and related genetic modifications, there are basically no racial contradictions and reproductive segregation, and the seven races have completely merged into a new Charil.

The First Frontier Farming World is a world discovered by the Charlir Consortium three hundred years ago, its climate is especially suitable for large-scale agricultural operations, and there are no overly powerful intelligent life and indigenous demonic beasts inside, so the Charliers colonized this world almost effortlessly, and transformed it into an agricultural base that is enough to supply 34% of the food consumption of the entire Consortium.

With more than 370 million professional farmers and 49 million workers working in the processing of agricultural and sideline products, the world is sparsely populated but not busy because of its magical assistance.

Because of this, First Farmers World has also carved out a coastline that is operated as an upscale luxury resort, and every Charil has made it their greatest goal to come here for a vacation.

But now, the world that should be a paradise and a sense of tranquility is now extremely quiet.

"At the beginning, more than a dozen farmers on the edge of the southern continent mysteriously disappeared."

"Then there was the mass disappearance of the herbivorous dragons in the pasture, it was as if they had evaporated out of thin air, and the bones were invisible."

"Immediately after that, the people in the ranch sent a distress signal, but when the rescuers arrived, they found nothing, the entire agricultural base was empty, there was no sign of a fight, and there was no blood."

"Soon, the rescuers were also missing - Charil higher-ups were surprised and sent professional transcendents to see what was going on."

"But before the transcendent arrived, all the residents in the entire Southern Continent were completely lost in two days, and more than 50 million people were completely hidden."

"Farmers in other parts of the continent began to panic and wanted to escape, but were stopped by the martial law transcendents who arrived - they had already discovered that it might be related to the extreme plague, so they sealed the world."

"A great magician of the extreme level went to observe the situation, and disappeared after three hours, and there was no time to send any news back."

"The Challier government has locked down the world, completely ignoring the riots of more than 300 million local farmers...... After all, most of these people are locals, and as long as the news is blocked, the other colonies will not know about it, and naturally it will not cause panic...... But even the Challil government could not have imagined that more than 300 million people would disappear in just one week, as if they had never existed. ”

"Our previous offer of friendship was rejected because the disappearance was not like a plague, but rather a civil strife like a rebel, but after detecting that there was indeed a high concentration of the limit virus in the atmosphere of the world, the ambassador of the Chalil fell down on his knees and begged us to intervene...... Alas, if you think about it earlier, the people of the whole world will not have to die in vain...... That's nearly 400 million people. ”

In the First Farmer's World, an agricultural base in the Southern Continent, the nature mentor Edrill Garanord and the fishman priest Godard walked in the field, the towering rice stalks almost obscured the two, an elf and a fishman looked around at the turquoise otherworldly farmland, and their faces were quite regretful: "Can you hear me?" Eagle? This should be the source of the extreme virus in the entire Void Union of Charil, and you have already cleaned up the viruses in other places, right? ”

"Cleaned up."

In a small instrument next to Garanord's ear, the gentle voice of the old pope himself came from: "However, the scope of this extreme virus infection is too wide, it is as pervasive as the Great Demon Tide, not only Charil unites here, but there are also signs of plague in several other indigenous civilizations that have not yet reached the Void...... If we hadn't come to eliminate them, these civilizations would probably have been wiped out. ”

"Our mission is going well, the local civilization is also very cooperative, and there is no abnormal situation, so Garanord and Godard, you continue to carry out the 'capture' mission, but you must be careful, the horror of extreme creatures can sometimes exceed common sense."

"Understood."

Naturally, the Mentor of Nature is not a rookie who is on a mission for the first time, but after many years, he is already in a different world in the multi-star galaxy again, which makes Garanord feel a little emotional, and after turning off the communication with the old Pope, she turned her head and complained to Godard: "I really don't understand...... Normal viruses and bacteria, if they really evolve successfully, will not deliberately kill the host, and the more intense the virus, the easier it is to completely extinguish because it cannot spread. ”

"Gollum...... In fact, it is difficult to say whether it is a virus or not, but our superficial biological knowledge can only define it as a virus. ”

On the other side, the Fishman Priestess said a little vaguely, he shook his head, his expression was a little heavy: "Gollum, declare in advance, if there is any accident in the plan, I will leave you and flee immediately, you are not a fishman, I will not desperately try to save you." ”

"I didn't expect it." The natural tutor frowned, and said naturally: "But before that, you still have to assist me." ”

The fish-man tribe and the humans of the eastern plains of the Far South have a vendetta for generations, if it were not for the plague of the dragon, the fish-man tribe would probably start a war with the two major races of human elves, Barbarossa and Faina have both confronted Godard, this rather hostile relationship, until the arrival of the era of great exploration, the survival crisis of the fish-people disappeared before it was somewhat alleviated.

But even so, Godard and his old rival are still a little difficult to deal with, which can be seen from the attitude between Garanord and him, but, after all, both of them are old legendary powerhouses, and they have also witnessed a lot of vast scenery of the multiverse over the years, and both sides have seen a lot of the grudges of the past trapped in one world, and they can even carry out missions together.

"No more nonsense - a whole world, more than 300 million people, tens of billions of livestock missing or even dead, Godard, what do you think about this situation?"

As he spoke, the Nature Mentor had already arrived at an extremely empty pasture, where the grass was growing wildly, almost several meters high, standing in front of the overly lush pasture, the elven legend's pointed ears moved slightly, and then looked up at the sky.

The elemental sun could be seen obscured by gray-black rain clouds, a gloomy and hot atmosphere spreading, and a tropical rainstorm was about to fall.

"What else can you see?"

Gazing at the rain clouds that were about to fall, Godard smiled comfortably and whispered, "Of course, there is an 'extreme creature' in this world, which eats all the animals in the whole world in order to replenish its own nutrition. ”

"So, you say, where is this extreme creature hidden?"

Gradually, a hazy mist appeared around the pasture, it was a rather clean, milky white mist, like milk floating in mid-air, it floated out of the earth, the grass and even every crevice, if anyone could look down from the sky of the whole world, he would be surprised to find that this fog filled the entire agricultural world, and every corner of the continent was completely covered by white mist.

And these fogs are all extreme viruses with high concentrations.

The sound of Suo could be heard, hovering through the mist, as if something was walking through the grass shrouded in virus mist.

In the face of such an abnormal situation, both of them did not change their faces, and even showed relaxed expressions, Garanod raised her hand, and a staff like a tree branch appeared in her hand, the turquoise light shone, expelling the weapon, the nature mentor continued to laugh, and asked in a low voice: "Why, this extreme creature eats people and livestock, but it just doesn't eat grass?" ”

"Do you need to ask?"

The Mermaid Man took a deep breath, and the shape of the fish-man who looked old began to change rapidly, the iron-blue skin became darker and brighter, almost like an incomparably smooth black metal, and the white mist touched his skin, but was swallowed and absorbed by this skin.

"Of course, it's grass in the first place - it's still 'grass' that has always been eaten as food by herding animals!"

As soon as the words were spoken, thunder rang out in the sky, and the downpour covered the entire heaven and earth in an instant.

Then, lightning flashed and would illuminate the hazy fog of almost the entire First Farmer's World.

You can see that under the fog that envelops the entire continent, it is the 'grass and trees' that are rolling in units of 10,000 kilometers! The whole farmer's world, whether it is a forest or a weed, a rice field or a wheat field, a seaweed or a cactus, all the plants, everything that grows in the earth, is all entangled and tangled together by a dense mass of milky white roots!

This milky white root system, covering the entire continent, is penetrating the world little by little, and it can be seen that the white root system is multiplying itself by eroding the earth and rocks, it has 'digested' a small layer of the earth's crust, and the deepest root system has completely submerged into the center of the earth, feeding on the hot magma: there is no doubt that, given time, this huge and strange root system will surely swallow the whole world, and then become a beast enough to roam the void!

And now, the beast revealed its hideous claws to the two strangers who had invaded its realm - with an earth-shattering loud noise, the ranch where Galanord and Godard were located, the earth's crust shattered, and a twelve-magnitude earthquake suddenly launched, throwing the sky full of dust and fog and broken rocks into the air, and in this earth-shaking shock, a dozen white roots and tendrils of more than ten kilometers long giant claws with a high-frequency vibration magic field like a substance, releasing high temperature and heat beyond the sun, Whip the two of them like a mountain toppling down, and pull them down!

- If it were an ordinary transcendent, this blow of millions of degrees, like a corona concussion knife, even if it couldn't kill them, at least it could take the lead.

However, neither Garanord nor Godard were ordinary transcendents.

"'Extreme grass', if you can eat it, how many livestock can be fed."

The voice of emotion sounded, and at the same time, in an instant, the dust and mist clouds in the sky, as well as the white mist composed of extreme viruses, were all broken through, and a magnificent giant tree that supported the sky and the earth, as if it was about to penetrate the world, and burst into the void, suddenly appeared between heaven and earth.

Rumble! The giant tree fell, directly flattening the earth that was still shaking, and its roots spread, taking root on the earth that had been invaded by the white root system - with the dark green force of nature releasing the breath of naked and the weak, forcibly choking and tearing the white root system, the root system of the World Tree began to take root in this world directly and backwards, and began to directly compete with the white root system for the sovereignty of the earth.

However, that was just the appearance, the huge World Tree was entangled with the white root system, not simply 'erosion' and 'competition for nutrients', in fact, Garanord was interpreting the life information in the other party's body - a moment later, the voice of the Nature Mentor resounded throughout the world: "Its body is in the Southern Continent, directly below the Nineteenth Herbivorous Dragon Ranch!" ”

"Understood."

Hearing the instructions, a huge hole suddenly appeared in the air in the milky white mist on the other side, accompanied by the roar of even the wind being torn apart and shattered.

You can see that there is a black shadow flickering in it, and a pair of hideous dragon wings grow behind the mermaid man, and the end of this dragon wing even has a rocket-like propulsion structure, which is undergoing an extremely violent elemental annihilation reaction, and the ultra-hot elemental jet has accelerated his speed to 300,000 meters per second - this speed, in a world with an atmosphere, can already be called the speed of destroying the world, and the wind is generating behind the high priest, accompanied by a hot lava fire path spreading in a straight line, One super tornado after another began to wreak havoc on the land, tearing apart the rain clouds and tearing the white roots to pieces.

Soon, the black shadow arrived at the indicated destination, the Nineteenth Herbivorous Dragon Ranch, an area that had been completely encroached upon by tangled white roots and turned into a nest.

Rumble!!!!

The black shadow flashed, it was a rapid impact that was enough to dig out the earth's crust and mantle, and at this moment, the earth was blasted out of a perfect circular gap, and at the end of the gap, near the core of the earth, was a huge white root entanglement like a heart, trying to wrap around the core.

"It's a pity, the lucky little one who survived the limit."

At this moment, Godard recalled the pain of being suppressed by his old rival for decades, the embarrassment of being easily surpassed by the little guy who had practiced for more than ten years, the envy and jealousy of the colorful technology and world of other civilizations in the void, the boredom of being a combatant who had been studying such things as edible earthworms, and the joy of knowing that he could go out on a mission after a long time of retreat and finally making a breakthrough...... and nameless rage!

- I'm the Fishman Priestess! Not a farm researcher! I can do this for the sake of the race, but that doesn't mean I'm going to farm there all the time!

Facing the core of the Extreme Grass, which had begun to condense, layered like a beehive, Godard's body changed slightly, and in an instant, it turned into the most easily broken through the magic defense of the mage battle form, this fishman priest who had been holding back for more than ten years, and finally ushered in the opportunity to make a move, showed a cruel smile full of shark teeth.

"Weeding, we are professional!"
