“…… Whatever is the point, Your Excellency, what is the point of saying all this? ”

Alpha was silent for a moment for the incendiary words of Inquisitor Glone of the old men of the Ash Order, and then shook his head with a sneer: "After all, I'm just a stupid guy who can't even see your traps, and now I'm still in your hands—if you want to say black, you can say black, and if you want to say white, you can say white, and I can't say no, can I." ”

After saying this, Alpha sighed in his heart - the Ashes Order didn't arrest itself before because they needed to find this 'Crystal Obelisk' by themselves, and now, their purpose has been achieved, so is their existence still valuable? Can the safety of his wife and children be guaranteed? Seriously, there is really no guarantee at all, and although the Ashes Order is a well-known Orthodox organization in the entire Shining Region, it is not a good person.

"You think that's all you can do?"

However, Glone looked at him with a smile: "Master Alpha, don't underestimate your own value too much - do you think anyone can easily travel through the distant twilight zone and come to the lightless belt, just like fate guides, to come to their destination without encountering any chaos monsters, and finally cross all the safety facilities of this crystal obelisk without any risk, and come to the deepest part of this prehistoric ruin?" ”

"Do you think that ordinary people can give birth to geniuses like your daughter and your son?"

Hearing this, Alpha immediately raised his head, his eyes stared directly at the old man in front of him, and his gaze could be said to be terrifying.

But Gloun didn't care, he shook his head at the guards around him, signaling that they didn't need to stay where they were, but let them explore the corners of the hall - after the guards had left, the white-haired Inquisitor motioned for Alpha to follow him, and strode to the center of the hall.

Although he wanted to kill Glearn's entire family with a knife, Alpha really wanted to know the news of his daughter and son, so he could only keep up, Glone knew this very well, so he said without looking back: "Don't worry, Alpha Bachelor, your daughter, son, and your wife are all very good, it is better to say that their living conditions in the Ashes Order are much better than what you can provide in the capital of knowledge, after all, we need your daughter's strength to move the stars." ”

"Mobile...... Stars?! ”

When he heard this, countless thoughts flashed through Alpha's mind, such as the large-scale disappearance of stars in the Dusk Region, the expanding Lightless Belt, the ultimate goal of the Ash Order, and the purpose of his own teacher and others—but in the end, a thousand words were condensed into one sentence: "What do you do with my daughter?!" What moves the stars, Sibeya she ......"

"Siboya Falst is just an ordinary little girl - do you want to say that? But there could be no more mistake. ”

Although Glone looks old, he is a powerhouse of the extreme level after all, even if Alpha is angry, he can't beat him, but he didn't stimulate Alpha much, but said bluntly: "Don't worry, Siboya is now almost a holy son in the Order, no one dares to do anything to her, and although your son is not so amazing, he is also a godsend who can adapt to the power of the divine weapon." Not to mention your wife, who doesn't even know where you're going, only that you may have traveled far away and are now happily taking your children and basking in the joy of their success. ”

"That's the hand......"

"We had a perfect cloning technique 40,000 years ago - and you didn't even check if that hand was your child, wasting the strength of our technicians, it's really too easy to be gullible."

Although I don't know if what the other party said is true or not, but according to Glonn's actions, he has not hurt himself since he arrived, and the other party's tone is too casual, but it doesn't look like a lie, and Alpha's original surging hatred is half stuck...... Of course, he also knows very well that the other party is relying on language to arouse and dispel his hatred and anger, and consume his sense of confrontation, so as to better pry open his mouth after this, but compared to this, he wants to know the current situation of his relatives.

But alas, Glone didn't say much, he just continued to walk towards the center of the hall, and then threw out a word.

"Do you know, Alpha Bachelor, there was once a god in this world?"

“…… This is a well-known fact, 50,000 years ago to 100,000 years ago, this long 50,000 years has always been the age of the gods. ”

Ignoring the other's 'what are you talking nonsense?' tone, Glone continued, "But 50,000 years ago, the Age of the Gods came to an abrupt end – all the gods lost their powers, and naturally, they all died. ”

"First of all, there is the god of war, then the god of duels, the god of murder, and some other gods related to battles and killings, who are the first to lose their powers, and then the gods of various regions, the gods of creation—in the end, all the gods lose their divine powers. At that time, the Order of Ashes was still a group of different gods, an organization that served the Heavenly Father, so we recorded in detail the time and order in which each god lost his divine powers, and since then, many floating cities have fallen from the sky and turned into ruins and dust. ”

"Do you understand? In less than five years, all the gods have lost their divine power one after another, and our gods have not had time to prepare for early warning - all the temples on the Great Heavenly God Mountain in the past have been deserted, and the divine power transmission network built around them has also disappeared, our kingdom has been divided by a long distance, and our cities have been destroyed one after another - the brilliant connection we once had has been completely ended because of the departure of divine power and the gods. ”

When he said this, Grohn's tone was one of deep regret, but he didn't look like he was lamenting the loss of the gods, but rather the weakening of the Lightseeker civilization: "Our civilization has completely shrunk from the vast twilight region back to the shining zone...... But guess what we found then? ”

"The shining zone is also shrinking and getting smaller."

At this moment, the two of them had reached the center of the hall, and directly above their heads, there was the crystal prism of the sleeping blonde boy - and Glone turned his head to meet the look of surprise on his face, and the slightly abrupt Alpha on his face, his tone was flat: "In just two hundred years, the area of the shining area has shrunk by one-twentieth, and the speed of this shrinkage is constantly accelerating!" According to this trend, it will only take less than a thousand years, and all the light chasers will probably live in eternal twilight, and even eternal darkness. ”

— but 50,000 years have passed, and the Shining Region still exists.

Thinking of this fact, and the other man's statement of 'moving stars', a terrifying possibility came to Alpha's mind, and he looked at Glone, and then said slowly, "So, you move the stars elsewhere...... Coming to the Shine Zone? Is this how you continue to burn the flame......"

"To be precise, it's not us, but the sons of the stars."

The white-haired Grand Inquisitor had a calm face, and he whispered a compliment to the Heavenly Father, and then continued, "In the most desperate moments, the founders of the Ash Order discovered that in this world that was about to be extinguished, some extremely special children were gradually emerging. ”

"They're — yes, these special children, they're almost all girls, and there's no restriction on certain races of lightseekers who can reproduce parthenogenesis, or have multiple sexes. But in any case, these special children have the ability to conceive offspring. And they ...... They can control the trajectory of the stars, and even control the steel earth to a certain extent, accelerating the speed at which the stars are formed! ”

"Weird, right? Don't look incredulous, it's true, and we don't know how the founders found out about it...... In short, in the beginning, we called these children 'Star Shepherds', or the reincarnations of all powerful gods, because their commands could control the world and drive the actions of the stars, but then we found that these children were more like 'guiding', or 'wishing' the stars to move in the direction they wanted, than commanding and controlling, so now, we call them the Sons of the Stars. ”

To put it mildly, Alpha could imagine the despair of those Light Chasers who had discovered that the area of the Shining Zone was rapidly shrinking in an era when the gods had lost their gods and welcomed the invasion of Chaos, and how joyful they were when they discovered the 'Son of the Stars'—this excitement of being in a desperate situation was by no means something that those who came after them could experience.

At this time, Glonn's tone also seemed sincere.

"The Ashes Order, always trying to discover and cultivate as many sons of the stars as possible, we are transporting stars from the Twilight Zone into the Shining Region to provide a new flame for the Central District...... 50,000 years have passed, our civilization is still continuing, we have not ushered in the dark age when the flame is extinguished, and we are still burning like ashes. ”

"So, got it? Alpha University Fellow. ”

"We, the 'Ash Order', are the ones who have been trying to save the whole world! And your teacher, as well as your boss, are all 'Star Sons' that we didn't find out about, and they only recently learned about it, and they all have the ability to control the stars, but they are not willing to contribute this power to contribute to the continuation of our entire civilization, and instead have been secretly sabotaging our search for other Star Sons! This is hostile to all Light Chasers, an act bordering on chaos! ”

"Join us - your teacher is not willing to contribute to civilization, we understand this selfishness, but we hope that you will put aside your preconceptions and become one of us."

And Alpha is not only shocking, but also important to connect all the clues...... Why did Mr. Karliss take such a good care of his daughter, and why did such a big thing as the disappearance of stars not make any waves in the League of Nations? It's not that simple - the higher-ups are all residents of the Shining Zone, and they certainly don't hesitate to support this act of plundering the stars of the Twilight Zone!

In this way, basically everyone's actions are reasonable, and the reason why the Ash Order was coerced in the early stage, and now it is so gentle on itself, I am afraid that it is also because it knows that it is impossible for me to betray the teacher so easily, so I find an opportunity to follow him, try to convince myself in a place where no one knows, be a spy, or follow the vine, find the teacher's hidden stronghold, and then get the teacher in their hands, more Star Sons.

Everything makes sense...... Except for one thing.

"You're all right, Your Excellency the Grand Inquisitor, I can't think of anything to refute - in order to continue the Shining Zone, the existence of the true inner circle of our civilization does not matter even if the stars of the Circle of Twilight are plundered and countless colonies are destroyed. After all, the people I know and know all live in the Shine Zone, and it's all in my favor. ”

"But...... What exactly is this crystal obelisk? Why did you follow me here, and look for it like you've been looking for it, and this life that sleeps in the obelisk ......?"

Saying this, Alpha raised his head and looked at the dense inscriptions and runes on the crystal prism above his head, as well as the shining and converging light, and his tone deepened: "Moreover, how did the Holy Son of the Stars control so many stars?" You have always refused to tell me about Sibethah, but only that she is the Son of God and is valued...... But is she alive and well? Unhappy? Is it hard? Why didn't you tell me this? As a father, I just want to know that! ”

“…… You have too many questions. ”

Glone sighed, "This crystal obelisk...... I can only tell you that this obelisk is actually a kind of 'reinforcement signal tower', and there is one at the Great Tenjin Mountain, and as for the life that sleeps here...... Isn't that mural already very clear? A member of the Seven Priests of the First Age of the Creation of All Things, a great hero who fought against chaos with the Father. ”

"You want to wake him up?" Finally, Alpha said in a rather dry tone, "Let this sleeping hero work for you?" ”

"Of course not, or rather, it's not him that we want to wake up—but, we need his power now, otherwise, how can we control the flow of billions of stars just by relying on those Xingchen Holy Sons who were even ordinary people not long ago, or even little girls?"

Speaking of this, Glone glanced at Alpha's expressionless face, and the white-haired Inquisitor couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that you still don't plan to cooperate, right?" I'm so patient, so gentle...... Why can't you all understand? In this dark age when the flame is about to be extinguished, all means are necessary, and we have poured everything into the flames that have lasted for tens of thousands of years, the sacrifices of generations of brothers and sisters of the Order...... For the sake of our civilization, the Order has done many evil things, but we will not regret it. ”

"Of course, if I could, I really wanted to do it myself."

With that, Glone waved his right hand, and the sparks between his palms ignited, instantly turning into a flaming sword, and he slowly approached Alpha, and affirmed for the last time: "Alpha Master, you are a lightseeker, I will not kill you, but we will brainwash you and make your knowledge and identity for us." It's better not to resist, I'll try to be as light as possible. ”

"I believe you have given everything to save the civilization of the Light Chaser, but I prefer to trust my teachers and my own instincts more than you! Thanks for explaining, I understand a lot of things now. ”

Facing Glonn, who was approaching him and was a big class higher than him, Alpha's body trembled uncontrollably, but he still stood firmly in place - the man whose ears had become pointed and the surface of his body was covered by a thin layer of silver light, suddenly raised his head, and then shouted at the endless light hanging from the top of the hall: "Praise the Lord!" Abort the dormant recuperation program! Activate and repair the light pillar! Start the wake-up process! (Microf lingua franca with silver leprechaun accent)

"Unknown pope, prehistoric hero - these people in red and black robes want to use you as a battery!" (The McCrof lingua franca with a silver elf accent)

“…… What are you talking about? (Chasing the Light)

The white-haired old man was stunned for a moment, he vaguely felt that the language spoken by Alpha was a little familiar, as if he had heard some similar fragments somewhere...... But soon, he sensed something was wrong.

Because, an incomparably powerful, incomparably majestic, and even, beyond the ordinary gods, to reach a kind of 'limit' majestic power, is reviving above the heads of everyone present, waking up, filled with their own terrifying aura.

A low humming sound came ———— as if it shook the entire obelisk, the whole world.

"What, what's going on?!"

I don't know why, but there's no doubt that it all has something to do with the alpha who suddenly opened his mouth and spoke an unknown language! Glory has been through a hundred battles, and he makes a quick decision and rushes at full speed to the alpha - but when he doesn't kill in the end, just trying to convince the brainwashing alpha, this ending is doomed.

Because, along with the solidified silver crystal prism, accompanied by the crisp cracking sound as if the glass was shattering, turned into a pillar of light that ran through the entire hall and even the obelisk, the light golden long-haired boy who was sleeping in the crystal opened his eyes gently - a huge heartbeat was heard, booming and trembling, and in this more and more urgent, more and more vibrant sound, the boy clenched his fists, he was confused, and then suddenly.

Ah—how long has it been?

But it didn't matter, for he had awakened from a time long enough to forget everything, from an eternal sleep that seemed like death.

Lowering his head, the light in the blonde boy's eyes was gentle, like the morning light of early summer, kind and warm, looking at everyone in this hall, he laughed, and then blinked.

Then all the light, all the action, came to a standstill.

"Is there a cycle of strife between the order?"

It was only then, frozen, in a position of charging towards the Alpha, that Glone remembered where he had heard the language—an ancient language of the gods, rumored to have spoken by some of the gods at the beginning of the creation of heaven and earth...... Moreover, compared to the voices of the gods that have been handed down, the language spoken by the young man in front of him is more ancient and the tone is more gentle.

"I see, the reason for your argument...... Even between the right and the right, we also attach importance to distinguishing the superior from the inferior, as long as you are not strong, you must face a dilemma. ”

In an instant, the colorful light bubbles that lingered at the top of the hall gathered behind the young man, and the light converged, turning into a pure white robe and enveloping his body, he took a step forward, and the majestic holy light surged out in all directions like a tsunami, and ran through the upper and lower ends of the entire crystal obelisk!

Outside the crystal obelisk, in the lightless band, you can see that on the mountain of chaotic corpses that buried the entire obelisk, cracks like blood vessel scars began to burst, and a holy light burst out from these cracks, they were like a sharp sword, one by one Dao markers - and as the entire mountain was shattered by the colossal holy light, the incomparably huge, incomparably mammoth, as high as twenty-four light points of the majestic mountain, just like this, collapsed and faded, and a bright and incomparably bright holy light shot out from the top of the obelisk, It was strengthened and amplified, and finally turned into a pillar of light that penetrated the infinite darkness of the lightless area, reaching the heavens and the earth!

And in the huge earthquake that gradually spread into the endless distance, and the smoke and dust rising endlessly, a majestic and magnificent silver obelisk, just like this, came out of the ancient rock formations and history, and stood on the earth, the dazzling holy light illuminated thousands of kilometers, and countless chaotic monsters turned into ashes just by touching!

And at this moment, inside the obelisk, the also stagnant Alpha and the angry Glonn looked at each other, his eyes full of joy.

"Didn't expect that, did you?"

"I can read these inscriptions!"

Ever since he entered the obelisk, Alpha had felt that an instinct was awakening in his veins, and when he looked at the murals before, he felt as if he vaguely understood the intricate inscriptions, and as time passed, the memories and knowledge became clearer and clearer - thanks to Gloun's constant desire to convince him to join the Order of Ashes, otherwise, he might not have been able to read the inscription hanging at the top of the hall next to the crystal prism.

[Dust every three days]

【Don't forget to check the dormant warming program】

[Before starting the wake-up process, remember to activate and repair the light pillar first, otherwise it will be difficult for the sleeper to come out on his own]

[Don't forget to praise the Lord out loud (emphasis added)]

【】

This series of inscriptions, if you don't know it, it's just that, but after knowing it, Alpha found that these words were written crookedly, and the font was large and small, and it was completely obvious that the life that wrote this text didn't think about beauty at all - but whatever! Awakening this unknown sleeping life may be what the teacher asked him to do here, and being able to read these poorly written inscriptions is undoubtedly something that only he can do!

And at this moment, beyond the obelisk, deep in the lightless zone, the top of another mountain.

"It seems that the little guy has done a good job, another old friend has woken up, and unlike those of us who woke up halfway and have no power, he has enough power to change the current situation."

Dressed in a brown explorer's suit, silver-haired and red-eyed, fair-skinned, and if it weren't for a strange blindfold binoculars, Baron Callis stared at the rising pillar of pure white light in the distance, and she said to herself with emotion: "Then again, alas, I really can't figure it out...... Why do humans always have some strange estrus for goblins? ”

"You're mistaken, as far as I know, this time the goblin should have confessed to that little guy's ancestor first."

On the side of Karlis, who was also silver-haired and red-eyed, but only slightly healthy-skinned brown at Royal Roads University, McCroft shook his finger and sighed: "Your race over there is relatively pure, and I have more mixed-race people here - do you need to tell me how the mermaids mixed with centaurs to create the seahorse race?" ”

“…… Exempt. ”

Shocked by the fact that her friend had fallen below the lower limit of the three views of ordinary human beings, Carliston paused for a moment, and then continued to look at the crystal obelisk, her tone was quite emotional: "It seems that I am indeed not wrong - among the beings in this Steel Continent Zhaozhao Jingjing, he is indeed the only guy who has fully awakened the blood of the silver fairy and holds the internal management authority of this 'Silver World'. ”

"Since all the silver goblins were sacrificed in the Chaos War 50,000 years ago, and the remaining part was voluntarily converted into a 'divine machine', this is probably the last remaining bloodline of that guy's family."

"The guy who can attract the reincarnation of the Steel Python is naturally not an ordinary person. Compared to that, he's still with the Ashes Order, is it okay? ”

Shrugging his shoulders, unable to tell the secret story of the bloodline between the mermaid, the centaur and the seahorse, McCroft looked a little lacking in interest: "If Eagle is not careful and let them kill your students, this last silver elf authority will be gone." ”

"Let's not talk about whether Eagle is so dull, even if he dies, he is resurrected. What's more, the Ashes Order will not do this, although their methods are dirty and ugly, and they are dehumanizing, but they are also really trying to save the world, which is the same as us. ”

With that, Karliss and McCrof slowly rose at the same time, their bodies wrapped in silver light, and the light of the Leap was shining in the direction of the beacon of the Holy Light in the distance, and as the Leap left, heading to the place where the obelisk was, the last of Karlis's voice could be heard.

"It's just that, if we say, their purpose is to 'continue the fire'."

"Then our purpose is to 'extinguish the fire'."

——The day of the end of the fire, the time when the flames are rekindled.

This day will come, it will come, and it will come.

They firmly believe it.
