839 years of starfall, March 29, the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice Ground, Salt Sea Plain.

This is a desolate and devoid of any geological features, where a catastrophe-level magical strike from the war of the past will build a large magical structure, the [Henamut Prophecy Hub] completely wiped out from the surface, and the aftermath melted everything, and finally cooled and condensed into a plain covered with highly toxic crystal salts.

The 'Hainamut Prophecy Hub', which originally collected multiverse-level information and then extrapolated, and even predicted the future, did not have any warning of this.

Not to mention the details of the past war, the Salt Sea Plain has undergone great changes today, more than a year ago, when the Starfall McCrove civilization began to redevelop the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice Ground, there were several legendary powerhouses who took action to forcibly degrade all the toxic substances on the plain, and the natural mentor and the elven queen joined forces to exert the blessing of natural divine power here, so that a special extraordinary plant that can live in a high acid and alkali environment began to sprout in this land.

A year had passed, and green had already spread across the plains reflecting the glitter of crystalline salt, and at this rate of growth, it would be a matter of decades for them to spread throughout the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrifice Grounds.

However, behind this green, there is a deeper secret.

Just below that small patch of vibrant greenery, three kilometers below their roots, lies a bizarre, completely artificial underground cavity, which is perfectly hemispherical, with a flat ground and a dome with a spectacular arc, layers of dark green plant rhizomes supporting this super giant cavity with a radius of five kilometers, and countless rattans can be seen hanging from the top of the plant dome, forming a solid top pillar.

This is the base used by the Nature Master to transform the natural environment of the entire Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice Ground, a super giant natural realm located deep underground—in other words, the inside of the cavity is actually the 'body' of the Nature Master.

"Be careful, you'll break some rhizomes or vine pillars."

Guided by the forces of nature, Joshua walked into the cavity, and he heard the obvious joking voice of Garanord: "Otherwise, I will be in pain." ”

"I'll take notice." The man replied earnestly—this was rather boring to the Nature's Mentor, and after a few small words with the warrior here, her will returned to her original form in the Mycrof world.

Joshua, on the other hand, walked towards the center of the underground dome, a large wooden research institute.

At Joshua's speed, he quickly entered the research institute, and he could see that many elven scholars were hurriedly walking through various laboratories and information databases, and he didn't even notice the arrival of the warriors - Joshua walked directly towards the second large practice center located in the center of the research institute, he opened the door without hesitation, and then asked directly to the people inside, "How is the result?" ”

Everyone inside the practice had known about Joshua's arrival when he entered the cavity, so they were not surprised, and they could see that the spiritual master William and the psionic legend Stanley were whispering technical issues to the soul model suspended in the center of the room, while a black-haired young man, an unknown person from the world of Sibeya, was in front of the model at this time, carefully reading an analysis report.

Hearing Joshua's words, Nameless, who was now his employee, was the first to raise his head, he first nodded, and then shook his head: "It's hard to say. ”

"Is there still no way?"

Hearing this, Joshua couldn't help but frown and walked to the front of the soul model: "The question of the guardians of the Great Database...... Is it really that serious? ”

It can be seen that the soul model phantom placed in the center of the room is not what a normal human should be, and all parts of it show all kinds of strange changes, some places proliferate, some places shrink, and some parts of the soul structure are excessively expanded, and even the soul structure of other parts is completely erased.

"Their souls have indeed been completely and almost irreversibly distorted and alienated......"

The nameless man lifted his head from the report, his body a little tired from weeks of intense work, but his eyes were still bright.

He didn't greet Joshua, but directly raised the report in his hand and handed it to Joshua: "It's unimaginable that someone would transform their soul and body into such a terrifying appearance - I thought that the soul puppet was the limit." ”

"Moreover, even if they are soul puppets, they are forced to be transformed, but these people take the initiative to attack themselves on themselves, this degree of determination and ruthlessness is really shocking."

"But this situation is not incurable."

The First Practice Institute is responsible for the environmental transformation and planning of the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice Ground. Later, the second practice center was opened, which was responsible for the rescue and follow-up treatment of the guards in the unified database.

More than half a year ago, after the Black Mist Mother Body was sealed by the gods of Microve and many legends, they discovered the half-plane entrance located in the black hole accretion disk of the No. 1 world.

After opening the database, everyone who was ready to welcome their compatriots for thousands of years was surprised to find that in order to survive in this extremely harsh environment around the black hole, the guards of the large database resolutely inflicted many horrors on themselves, even distorted transformations, which allowed them to maintain their 'survival' as much as possible while maintaining a certain level of sanity and inheriting knowledge, and only survival. There is no doubt that this transformation almost made them almost human.

In order to save these compatriots who have paid too much, there is little disagreement among the major forces, and they decided to join forces to rescue, reverse contact with the consequences of various transformations, and restore the guards of the big database to normal human beings, but this work has encountered a big problem from the beginning, that is, after thousands of years of continuous long-term transformation, this distorted soul and body form has been fixed, and they' Born for this', not the result of subsequent transformations, in the face of these descendants of the original Big Database Guards, even the Legend can hardly guarantee to save them while maintaining the original will of the other party.

The original nameless mechanic, and now the nameless 'Lotram' was originally a high-level technician specializing in soul puppets, and he read through a lot of the soulology classics of the Xiboyan civilization, and in the past half a year, he has been absorbing the knowledge of the soul science and necromancy of the Microf world with the support of Joshua, and now he can be regarded as an authority in this area, so he will be invited by the second practice to carry out rescue work as technical foreign aid.

"Can it be cured?"

Joshua couldn't help but feel a little excited when he heard Nameless's answer, which everyone else called Lotlam, and he said, "What exactly?" ”

At this time, William and Stanley, who were originally communicating on the sidelines, the two spiritual and psionic legends ended their exchanges with each other, and everyone was not polite and went directly to the main topic. Among them, William took a step forward because he was more familiar with Joshua, pointed to the soul model and took the lead in speaking: "To be honest, this kind of solidification and transformation of the soul together is very terrifying, in essence, it is similar to the most extreme 'blasphemy curse', and then distorts the body of the transformer, this kind of courage is really extremely amazing-you see, even the soul core has been eroded. ”

After that, the psionic legend Stanley, an old man with meticulous appearance, a serious and extremely majestic face, took over, and he frowned and said, "So we think that we need you to join forces with us, and at the same time start from the staircase and the soul side, and through the connection between the two, reactivate the self-healing instinct of the body and soul when transforming the body, and grow into a complete soul." ”

On the other side, Nameless also nodded: "But this is just the beginning - after roughly repairing the souls, we will also replace them with a new body to nourish the souls that are roughly healed, but very fragile, the original body has been transformed too badly, and it is very unsuitable for normal human souls to live." ”

"In what I'm good at, I personally recommend making a puppet body for them, flesh and blood are vibrant, but not stable enough...... I hate this technology, but it does have advantages. ”

As he spoke, the three of them began to discuss the various characteristics of the soul again, and Joshua could only shake his head at this and remind them: "You are experts, I won't discuss the specific treatment process, but in the next few days, I have an incarnation that will be in the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrifice Ground, and you can summon me if you need to." ”

After speaking, he didn't care about the thanks of a few people, but looked at the distorted human form on the other side of the soul model.

It was the Big Database Guards, modeled into their current bodies - a lump of flesh that roughly looked like a human, but was actually boneless, and soft.

A thousand years ago, the Great Unified Repository was beaten out of its own world.

Among them, the surviving guardians used the most extreme methods to transform their bodies and souls in order to adapt to the harsh environment of perennial light, strange gravity, ultra-high radiation, and very few material resources.

They use almost curses, even curses, to distort their bodies and distort their souls, and they engrave all the knowledge they need, common sense, in their blood and soul, in their own memories and those of future generations, to ensure that they can maintain this knowledge almost forever, to repair the damage and omissions in the Great Database, and to maintain its existence.

But because of this, their flesh has become amorphous ooze monsters, as they do not need bones to support themselves in low gravity, and they do not need to consume large amounts of mineral resources. Their bodies are covered with sarcomas, ganglia, and strange tentacles and fungi, and they don't look like humans at all, and this form even makes them forget what the common sense of 'walking', 'seeing', 'hearing' and 'eating' is, because they have no legs, no eyes, no ears and no mouth.

They wriggle and float, attaching themselves to the ground, they observe the world through energy perception and psychic communication, absorbing nutrients from the beds through the pits and sarcomas in their outer skin.

What a grotesque, ugly, twisted and disgusting form.

So great it is.

"If we don't find it in the first place, we really can't do it."

Staring at this ugly and great form, Joshua whispered, "But it has been found, then we must do our best to heal - this is one of the few things we can do for these civilization inheritors." ”

Joshua left the cavity underground.

The laboratory located in the body of the natural mentor can simulate a variety of natural ecological environments with the power of nature, and then carry out various practical experiments, which is the dream place of all relevant technicians, and the natural mentor himself often uses his own power characteristics to carry out self-improvement and evolution, the only pity is that this ability is not suitable for fighting in the other world, and the local Garanord is the most powerful, and the only thing that can barely reverse this disadvantage is that it is only like creating an underground cavity. Condensation of a large area of nature.

Joshua walked out of the 'body' of the natural mentor and walked in the long vine passage, he did not deliberately speed up, he walked like an ordinary person.

As he walked, he raised his head and looked at the top of the flat passage with a somewhat distracted gaze.

The year 839 of the star fall is a new year, and in this year, a lot of big things happened.

The Alpha Shelter World has been taken out of the body of the Black Mist Mother by the gods, and this world is now located in the center of the space-time realm where the original Black Mist is located, floating in that small galaxy, and the primitive life inside the Alpha Sanctuary World is focused on guarding and protecting, which is one of the few world-class laboratories that can understand the birth and evolution of life in the early days of the creation of a high magic world, and is an extremely precious source of research data and ecological protection.

The Alpha Shelter World rebuilt by the Black Mist is almost a completely new world, and the high concentration of energy brought by the Great Demon Tide has accelerated the condensation and development of those primitive organisms, and the microorganisms that are completely consistent with the ancestors of the Shelter civilization have begun to take shape at this time.

The Black Mist could not create a Creator civilization, it reproduced the entirety of the Creator race.

Starting with the microbe, and continuing through to the final prototype of the Creator, it has arranged everything – beneath the shell of total destruction, a new world full of hope.

An avatar of Joshua has been stationed there for a long time, and if there is a situation, he will quickly transfer the will of the Lord and awaken around the Alpha Sanctuary.

As for the black fog.

According to Nostradamus's observations, after everyone seals the Black Mist Matrix, there may be some scattered black fog in the multiverse, such as the black fog that was sent to explore far away, the black fog that was defeated and sealed by other civilizations, etc., these black fogs are likely to continue to wander in the void for minutes, posing a threat to various worlds and civilizations. He proposed to take the initiative to find the existence of these scattered black fogs and wipe them all out.

However, by analyzing the original program and structure of the black fog matrix, everyone found that it is difficult for the daughter black fog to survive alone after losing the matrix's database and energy reserves, because there is no self-energy storage structure, and the daughter black fog cannot move freely unless it is in the high magic world, or around the void vortex, they need to replenish energy frequently, and most importantly, they have lost the ability to split, and one less will always be one less, so it has not been implemented as a high threat plan.

What's more, even if the offspring mutates and becomes a new mother, these offspring without a database want to grow to the point where they are now the Black Mist Matrix, which is not only possible in a thousand years.

In addition, the Empire's Department of External Exploration launched two more exploration missions, and these two times the luck was good, the eighteen worlds explored before and after were very safe, without any special circumstances, among which there were even two primitive life worlds, one had just developed to the point where primitive amphibious marine life had set foot on land, and the other had developed to a surplus of oxygen, and giant arthropods roamed the world.

However, because it is too primitive, except for the giant arthropod creatures that are more delicious, there is basically no colonial value, in other words, it is not suitable enough, maybe the fish-people will like it more, at least when Joshua looked at the expression of the fish-man priest at that time, Godard was obviously moved, but strangely, the golden dragon king at that time also showed a thoughtful expression...... Could it be that it likes to eat grilled crabs?

Speaking of which, Joshua can also be regarded as confirming one point, that is, the current imperial empress, the main palace of Emperor Israel, in terms of seniority, is actually the niece of this generation of Golden Dragon King, but it is not surprising at all, because the last time I chatted with the fairy empress, the warrior also unexpectedly knew that the entire Delmond royal family can be regarded as the direct descendants of the empress back then, of course, spiritually, the fairy mark is still condensed in the soul of the royal family.

The bloodline of the magical world is really messy, isn't there a normal human like my Radcliffe family? Joshua thought so.

Walking out of the underground cavity passage and into the woods of the Salt Sea Plain, Joshua did not choose to go home directly - recently, Hotaru and Rin were leading the students of Wintercastle Academy to organize the college's winter games, as well as the actual combat assessment at the beginning of the year, and the two of them as referees were responsible for presiding over the activities and arbitrating various matters.

No. 3 was also invited by the sage Faina, Nostradamus and Barbarossa a few days ago, and used his own special form of existence to quickly analyze and integrate various encrypted data in the big information database, and most of the computing power of the artificial intelligence girl had to be used in this regard.

Now the warrior goes home, at most, he eats and walks with Hei and Xiaoguang, but in fact, these two playful imps are estimated to have taken advantage of his absence to sneak out to find Ivan, Amira and others, or go out with Lisa and the syndicate to do tasks or where to play, Joshua thinks that he is not a demon and can't bear to interrupt their entertainment, so he plans to wait for the autumn queen to settle accounts after the game and add a little more training.

So now Joshua has a feeling of nowhere to go.

And at this moment, an invisible spirit, an indescribable will, emerged from the other side of the void, which only Joshua could see, perceive, and then gradually condense into the image of a silver python.

The Cyborda Kalis appeared at Joshua's side, and it slowly wrapped itself around Joshua's shoulder, and asked with some confusion, "What are you thinking, friend?" ”

"I originally planned to wait for you to enter the void and come back to you, but I noticed that you had been here in a daze, so I took the initiative to come down."

And Joshua, after noticing the Steel Python, did not stop the other party from becoming more human and intimate, he slowly walked in the salt sea, walking among the gray crystals...... After a long time, the warrior whispered, "Karlis, I have a question. ”

"Huh? Just ask. Karlis shook his head disapprehantly: "If I can answer, I will definitely answer." ”

Joshua's gaze did not pour out in the slightest, he looked straight ahead, the empty and undulating crystalline plain, and then said lightly, "Have you ever resented us?" ”

This question was obviously not in the imagination of the steel python, and it couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, repeating: "You guys? ”

"Yes. Sages, the Mycroph civilization of the Glorious Age, we, the Mycrove civilization of the Starfall Era. ”

Joshua almost never hid his thoughts, and this time was no exception, he stepped on pieces of salt crystals, and said softly: "To be specific, will you hate, resent, the Mycrof civilization that brought the evil god here, the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice Ground, and the Mycrof civilization that created the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice Ground and opened the door to the end?" ”

There was a long silence, and only Joshua could be heard stepping on the crystals and making a rustling sound.

A gust of wind blew, kicking up countless sands and dust, and the steel python Karlis finally broke the long silence.

"Hate ...... Resentment...... What a human word. ”

It whispered, "If you have been paying attention to civilization for too long, I can also say that you know the will of the world very well...... But how to say it, maybe you don't understand. ”

Callis tilted his head slightly, and looked at Joshua, who was also turning his head sideways, and said in a strange and heavy tone: "Sages and Glorious Age, you successors may not know it, or only understand its one-sidedness, but as a contemporary, I know and know many things about him. ”

"He has helped many worlds, saved many worlds." Karlis, word by word, said very seriously, it seemed to be recalling, and even its eyes were a little dilated: "Joshua, just as you are doing now, the sage has always been helping the world around him as much as possible. ”

"But in those days, the galaxy of the world was not as bleak as it is now. It is thriving, and countless vibrant worlds communicate with each other—naturally, there are many troubled worlds, and the sages travel in the peaceful worlds to help the troubled worlds. ”

"During that time, he had a great time, met many very interesting friends, and, of course, encountered many very ordinary troubles, and encountered very difficult and terrible enemies."

"He has fought the gods of chaos and evil more than once, and has even saved many worlds several times without almost everyone knowing, and he doesn't care, thinking that this is a trivial thing that everyone will do and will no longer be commonplace."

The Steel Python's tone was heavy, it tightened its body, and closed its eyes: "Even he built the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice Ground to better help other worlds...... and even devote all their strength to help all civilizations in the entire multiverse. ”

"Is he a wicked man? Of course not, the sages are the most perfect, pure, kind, and powerful beings I have ever seen in my long life. He seems to exist to save this dark multiverse, born with countless good intentions and the authority of the world, and his power is almost unselfish - anyone who tries to morally accuse him has no other purpose, or is too dark to see such pure light. ”

Joshua listened in silence to Karlis's words, and by this time he had stopped and stood in the middle of the Salt Sea Plain. From here, looking around, left and right, there is a vast plain with no end in sight, standing here, there is no road, no direction, and even the boundary between heaven and earth has disappeared.

And Karliss continued: "Of course, that I say so many good things and boast so much about the glory of the sages, it does not mean that I do not hate. ”

It opened its eyes, and the red snake pupils were pure, as if burning light: "Of course I hate." ”

There was a hint of sadness in the tone of the Steel Python, and it said softly: "The Kallis are my children, and I will never forget their extermination, no matter how many times the sages have helped me, this mistake alone is enough for me to regard them as enemies. ”

Hearing this, Joshua's hands relaxed slightly, and then clenched slightly, and the warrior raised his head high, unable to see his eyes, unable to know his expression and thoughts at this time.

"But."

Karlis and Joshua raised their heads together, and after another moment of silence, it whispered, "But......

But Joshua, my Rekindler.

You know, no matter how unforgettable the hatred is, it's just dust, an insignificant little ripple in the multiverse. The more you witness the rise and fall of civilizations, the birth and fall of the world, the more you should understand this.

Sticking to this, sticking to this dusty hatred, and then starting to have malice towards everything around you, to reject, to destroy, to go crazy and to destroy everything that exists—in that case, what is the difference with the evil gods?

If you are stuck in this and cannot be liberated, you will never be able to move forward and take revenge on the evil god who really destroyed my child. ”

The Steel Python circled its body and came to the warrior's arm, it lifted the warrior's hand and looked at Joshua who bowed his head, the will of the world, Karlis, said so sincerely and calmly: "Rekindling the flame, don't dwell on this, you don't need to care about whether it is self-blame or hatred in my heart, and you don't need to care about my attitude towards the sages and the Glorious Era.

You just need to keep moving forward, keep getting stronger, and do what you're doing right now – helping the world in need, destroying the chaotic plot – and that's enough, that's enough.

I will help you with all my might, we will help you with all our might, and all the great will will will look at you as much as they did on the sages, watching you go on your own path. ”

Karlis's head gradually moved closer to Joshua's forehead, and it stopped speaking, and a gentle, majestic, calm, and grand will extended towards Joshua.

- This is a contract without words, a promise without words -

Forehead to forehead, colorless light, began to rise in the center of the Salt Sea Plain.

- Please -

Slay all the evil gods

Destroy all chaos

Rekindle the Flame, fulfill your covenant with steel and fire, burn out darkness and evil, and be a light in this hopeless multiverse.

Like a torch that illuminates us and illuminates the way ahead.

————

The inconspicuous light dimmed.

Joshua parted from Karlis's forehead.

"I see."

The warrior whispered, and he looked up at the end of the world, and Joshua placed Karlis, wrapped around his hand, on his shoulder.

It's heavy—

Obviously there is no quality, just a pure spiritual body.

But it's still heavy.

The heaviness is incomparable, as if the cause and effect of the whole world are placed there.

But this feeling is not unfamiliar.

Because behind the warriors, there are many worlds.

Karlis, Ilgena, Blood Moon Abyss...... One illusion after another emerged and dissipated. Grandia, Colonos, Siberia...... One cause and effect after another is entangled.

They turned into long chains, into heavy boulders, and were dragged forward by Joshua, and to this day, I don't know how much time has passed. And now, just adding a shelter civilization and black fog, it doesn't make a difference, because the warrior's goal has never changed, and he clearly knows what kind of land and road he has stepped on.

"Listen, I didn't decide to eradicate all the evil gods for your sake."

"I went because I wanted to."

Joshua said lightly, causing Karliss to chuckle under his breath, as he stepped forward.

This is a step that has nothing to do with any cause and effect, any guilt, any burden and responsibility, this step, Joshua walked only for himself, and the warrior will continue to go on like this until no one knows the end.

Yes.

He's going to do something.

And these things will change the world.

And then, what exactly will happen.

That's the rest of the story.
