After bidding farewell to William and Barnier, Joshua's subsequent visits and inquiries also failed one after another.

"I don't know...... I guess I forgot. ”

"It's probably a mellow mind that is not affected by the outside world. As long as you can deal with all situations calmly and rationally, you will be able to grasp the power of the mind and resist all external intrusions. ”

"I'm advanced during the Great Demon Tide, Lord Lord, if you have to tell me how you feel, I really don't know how to speak......

"Lord Earl, it's not that I'm lying to you, but I really can't describe that feeling in words."

In the entire northern land, the holders of the Soul Extreme Intent who traveled or were hired were visited by Joshua one by one, most of them were accidentally advanced because of the influence of the Great Demon Tide, although they did complete the sublimation, but they were a little unclear about the specific process, some of them seriously explained their experience, and some of them didn't seem to want to say, Joshua didn't care, just told them that he was willing to exchange knowledge and skills of the same value, and he would never treat them badly.

It wasn't until the warrior really couldn't help it and found some old friends that he had something to gain.

"The ultimate meaning of the soul? It was a few decades ago, and while there may be some mistakes in the details, it should be pretty much right. ”

In response to the warrior's inquiry, Nostradamus smiled and explained to Joshua the details of his initial advancement, the details were clear, not at all as wrong and missing as he said, but the content was really speechless - according to Joshua's understanding, the old mage was simply meditating, and meditation and meditation broke through, even if he remembered the amount of dust around him when he advanced, there was nothing worth saying. As for Joshua's troubles in divinity, Nostradamus said that he could not help: "Your heart is already very strong, friend, even if it is not to the limit, it must be very close, even if you really achieve the ultimate intention of the soul, you may not be able to resist its erosion." ”

Although the personality is very compatible, it is clear that Nostradamus can't help Joshua in this regard, and the only valuable sentence he has about the soul is "If you talk about the difference between before and after awakening, then before awakening, I feel that I am a whole 'soul and body', and after awakening, the body becomes somewhat irrelevant, a part that can be discarded." ”

Although this statement sounded worthless, it gave Joshua a vague idea, and he felt that he might have grasped a little bit of context, but it was still not very clear. After thanking Nostradamus and saying goodbye, the warrior thought for a moment before finding the next person, the last person in his plan.

"The ultimate meaning of the soul, my view of it is 'the unity of knowledge and action', and if you do this best, you can be called perfect, and the soul is impeccable."

Through the communication of spells, the Seven God Pope Eagle pondered for a moment. To the question of the warrior, he replied slowly: "Whether or not you achieve the ultimate intent of the soul has no direct relationship with whether you can resist the erosion of divinity, especially you, Joshua, you and your divinity are a little too compatible, and it is sometimes completely consistent with your thoughts - I suspect that the imperfection of your soul happens to be the doubt and resistance to self. ”

"In other words, the reason why you can still resist the erosion of divinity is precisely because you are not the ultimate intent of the soul."

"How can people make progress if they can't question themselves, and that's too much of a statement."

Through the circle, Joshua shook his head, it was obvious that Iger's words had begun to be a little mysterious at this point, and his opinion was very different. Joshua felt that the soul was just his second thinking organ in addition to the brain, and divinity was equivalent to some kind of unknown good and evil in the body, similar to the mutation of cancer, which could bring vigorous vitality and strength, but it would also turn the originally independent soul into the same appearance as it. And the ultimate intention of the soul is to train this organ to the limit, so that the soul itself has the resistance to resist mutation and maintain its independent independence.

In other words, in Joshua's view, the soul is also the same as muscles, it can be exercised and become stronger, no matter how mysterious it is, it is nothing more than some kind of soul push-ups, sit-ups and long-distance running, what he wants to find is actually a way to exercise the soul.

"Everyone has a different view of the soul, but who knows the truth about it? You've probably seen the Mist of Doom, it's the remnants of the gods that the souls of the ancient gods formed after their dissolution, and that's the form in which some kind of soul reaches its limit. ”

Eagle didn't intend to convince Joshua either, after all, as he said, it was just a different opinion. As for Joshua's troubles, he gave another piece of advice: "The ancient gods harness the power of divinity, and looking at the soul forms of those pioneers will definitely help you as well. ”

"You're right." Joshua blinked, then nodded in approval. He really ignored this aspect - the gods of ancient times could control the power of divinity, control the sky, the earth, the wind and the sea, and the mist of divine misfortune formed by the remains of their souls today is indeed the best reference, and he has observed it for a while before, but now he has forgotten this, it seems that he is indeed a little anxious.

"But, Your Majesty, your tone doesn't look like a priest."

After thanking Iger, Joshua teased, but the old pope did not care: "I respect the gods because they are the pioneers of civilization and deserve my respect and faith...... What do you think the clergy should be? Do you preach all the time? ”

Speaking of this, Eagle laughed, and he said seriously through the circle: "Then again, Joshua, do you want to consider joining the Church of the Seven Gods?" With your status as the patron of the Seven Gods and the legendary powerhouse, I can directly make you the guardian of the Great Temple, the Champion of the Seven Gods, and the title of the First Holy Guard awaits you at any time. ”

"You're kidding."

"Of course not."

“…… I don't care, but it's abrupt. ”

Joshua frowned, of course he could see that Eagle was not joking, and there were enough reasons and motives - he was the inheritor of the sages, the one who watched the seven gods, he had helped the Holy Mountain to defend against the dragons, helped them go to the abyss to stop the dragon army, and he even helped the Church of the Seven gods complete the mission they had been inheriting since ancient times: to find the fourth inheritor and continue the flames of this world.

To be honest, the current Joshua just doesn't have a title, if you really want to count it according to his deeds, it is not an exaggeration for him to come to the Holy Mountain to be a pope, if it weren't for some inexplicable reasons, his reputation in the Microf world is a little subtle in the direction of more malicious, he has long been touted as the existence of the first paladin of our time.

"Just an invitation."

Eagle didn't continue to talk about this topic, he closed his eyes slightly, and his tone was a little low: "The abyss is in front, the evil god is behind, the Mycrof world is still facing many threats, but in the continent, the civil war between humans is still continuing, the contradictions between the royal family, commoners and nobles of the Northern Empire, the war within the Xishan Kingdom, the undercurrent of the Far South Elves, the human kingdom and the commercial alliance, and the open and secret battles organized by the two major mages of the Eastern Plains...... I want to put an end to this strife, to reconcile the balance of the world as the sages did. ”

But you alone are not enough. Far from enough.

Joshua understood what Eagle was thinking now, and what he wanted to do was to unite the forces of humanity in the world as the sages had done in the first place, to fight against the powerful enemies destined to appear in the future. But even the strength of the old pope could not do this. After all, he was not a sage, and even if he was a sage, there were twelve saints who assisted him.

And just when Joshua consulted Eagle for the ultimate intention of the soul and started a series of discussions with him.

The other side of the multiverse.

A blazing white flame writted through the void, not long ago, it was running away from the enemy, and for this reason, it chose the most dangerous random teleportation technique - the spell succeeded, it escaped the enemy's pursuit, but because of it, it fell into the depths of the abyss, not knowing where it was, and could only wander in the void for a few minutes.

The blazing white flame left a thin trail of light in the void, and it was already feeling tired, but it just so happened to sense a huge wave of power in the world around it, which was strong and terrifying, but with a trace of vitality that could circulate itself. For the life born in the abyss, which was ashes from the beginning, this glimmer of vitality is precious enough to be approached and touched even if it is dead. The blazing white flame was close to a coma, but with instinct, it immediately shifted direction and moved closer to the world that released fluctuations of vitality.

Not only it, but there were many darknesses wandering in the surrounding world that were also approaching that world, but the blazing white flame didn't have the energy to care about those things, and after a long time, when it finally came to the surrounding world, it used its last trace of power to belong to the Great Demon, broke through the barrier of the world, entered the world that was not really big, and then turned into a bright meteor, with a long arc, and crashed towards the ground.

I could vaguely see that in the center of the blazing white flame that was about to be extinguished, it seemed to be the figure of a fire demon.

But in this world, when did there be a white fire demon? What is it that can make a fire demon become what it is now, without the slightest evil and depraved rotten aura?

The Syndicate knew what had happened to him and who had done it, but he didn't want to remember that it was the cruelest torture in the world...... That being is undoubtedly the great demon of demons! But now was not the time to think about this, when the White Flame Demon was halfway down, he suddenly realized that his landing place seemed to be a small village in the mountains, and at its speed, it would absolutely completely destroy that village and all the life in it.

Naturally, the Fire Demon didn't care about destroying a village before, and although it had never been to the main material world to kill people, it had never cared about other beings except itself. But now, for some reason, the Syndicate didn't know what was going on, and it suddenly gritted its teeth and swerved, using the last of its strength, crashing into a small hill near the village.

A loud explosion sounded ———————— a loud echo through the mountains, and the syndicate exhausted the last of his mental strength because of this sudden kindness, and was completely unconscious in the explosion.

After a long time, with the sound of hurried footsteps, a small group of people cautiously emerged from the mountain forest in the direction of the village, and they noticed the crater caused by the syndicate's landing, and also noticed the white flames burning slowly in the depths of the lava crater.
