"Civilization inherits knowledge, and beasts continue their bloodlines, in my opinion, the difference lies in whether a life wants to leave behind the thoughts and beliefs that he insists on, or whether he just hopes that his heirs will just survive and be lucky."

"Of course. Even if I say so, the instinct of being a beast should not be underestimated, if human beings give up their animal nature, they will lose all motivation, after all, for the vast majority of life, if there are no heirs to inherit, no matter how lofty ideals and beliefs are empty talk and delusions, these two can coexist, no, they must coexist. ”

"I'm just strong enough to go beyond that, that's why I can say that."

In the dark void, two huge luminous bodies were swimming, their light so dazzling that even the largest stars could not match, under the light of this light, all the chaos in the darkness shattered like a phantom, turning into a cloud of elementary particles and drifting away in the vacuum.

Even billions of years later, at the borders of the distant galaxy, there will still be nascent civilizations that will discover the flickering of this colossal quasar in their primitive observation equipment, and benefit from the order and tranquility they bring.

"I leave faith, spread emotions, I look forward to the thousands of galaxies, there will be my fellow believers, if I want to go to the place of death, what I leave behind must be my thoughts, after all, what is the meaning of my bloodline, it is nothing more than some DNA, genetic information, some information clusters that are not complex."

"If I wished, I could make countless lives with my blood, like my children, without difficulty, and I can guarantee that they are all my children, closer than anyone else in terms of blood—anyone."

"But what's the point? I'm not a bug, I'm not a frog, I'm not a fish. I'm human, I'm Joshua the Transcendent, and I don't need that boring and hypocritical bloodline to deceive myself. ”

In the huge luminous body, the giant god with silver brilliance stretched out his hand and swept towards the galaxy in front of him, just a seemingly casual wave, a huge gravitational storm appeared in the vacuum, this storm swept through the entire galaxy like a violent hurricane swept through the city, it blocked all hyperspace teleportation, shielded psionic energy migration, and blocked all the chaotic clans who were restless, wanted to escape, and escaped in the galaxy.

Like a planet, the Plague Mother Beast revolving around the Chaos Dyson Sphere roared instinctively or in fear, releasing a glow-green glow all over its body, causing the surrounding space to warp visibly, with the power enough to shatter the celestial bodies, the Mother Beast accelerated towards the sweeping storm, its trajectory in the vacuum with a clear torrent of light, and thus launched a desperate charge.

Then it was crushed, just like an ant who raised its forelimbs to block the falling sky in the destruction of heaven and earth.

"Therefore, it is just a continuation of the bloodline, and it can't inherit anything at all, prove anything. My siblings have children who are also similar to mine, and genes are not the only thing. The only thing that is only the will and belief of people, especially for beings like me, and only the similarity in spirit, can be called inheritance. ”

The starry world, the front end of the second cantilever of the Dark Galaxy.

Joshua and the Triple Veil once again launched an operation in the galaxy where the evil god was first infected.

Some time ago, in the days when the Extreme Plague manifested out of thin air, Joshua joined forces with the Triple Veil to eliminate, or interfere with, the fluctuating pollution transmitted in this world, and the restrained force of the Galactic Guardian Alliance was finally able to gather and launch a major counterattack against the evil god clans.

More than 8,500 civilizations, 310,000 main fleets, 7,440,000 independent troops, and 80% of the Alliance's forces are all gathered here, which is a steel galaxy that will interfere with the operation of the galaxy even if it is driven, and the purpose of this steel galaxy is directly to the deepest part of the dark galaxy, where in the center of the galaxy is the largest lair of the Chaos Clan, where the gate of the eternal void was opened and destroyed, but only to destroy the door was only to temporarily interrupt the evil god's continued erosion of this galaxy, It doesn't stop the growth of the Chaos Clan.

As long as they destroy it and carry out an all-round sweep of the Dark Galaxy, then the Chaos Clans in other areas of the Star World will be a minor nuisance worth mentioning, and as long as the Guardian Alliance exists for a day, they will never be able to grow and hinder the continuation of civilization.

Now, spearheaded by the four Emotional Fleets, the Guardian Alliance's main fleet has cut through the second cantilever of the Dark Galaxy, spreading out at the arteries of its cantilever, occupying hundreds of stellar strongholds—a number that continues to grow over time.

As for Joshua's body and the entity incarnated in the material realm by the triple veil, it is like a hurricane that sweeps everything, and it is advancing rapidly on the front line, they will destroy the powerful fortresses and fortresses on the Chaos side, and kill the overly large Chaos Mother Beast, but they will not stay long, completely eliminate all the scattered Chaos Clans, and hand over the rest of the work to the follow-up work to take over and clean up.

"Triple Veil, I have found several paths that may lead to the sage."

And at the same time as clearing a path to the most central lair of the Dark Galaxy, Joshua said flatly and calmly the words that even the powerhouses of the legendary limit would look at sideways: "Three, or four, is just a simple guess, and it even needs to be united to reach the ...... I will share my thoughts with you in return for telling me all the underlying data. ”

[Listening: I'm listening carefully]

This is the most sincere attitude that an intelligent consortium can show.

"First, the instinct of the beast. The closest known transcendent power to this path is the life energy that represents the movement of matter, and in fact, the rudiments of this power are gradually emerging in the many warriors of the multiverse, and I have only summarized it. ”

With that, a silver virtual humanoid appeared in the giant god's hand, and the humanoid was now revealing a dark color of fear, as if it was in indescribable danger and was about to die. But soon, a red light suddenly lit up in the brain and body of the humanoid, which filled the body and soul with countless energy veins and virtual muscles, making the virtual humanoid go berserk in an instant, showing far more power than before and extremely terrifying subtle physical control.

"It is an exploding desire to survive, and its effect is to squeeze the limits of potential between life and death, and gain extraordinary wisdom and strength...... If I have to describe it, it is as if a lock has been opened on the limiter of life and genes, and the fierce emotions born because of struggle, war, and survival will all explode and be perfectly controlled. From the body to the mind, from the big to the small, and then to break through the limits. ”

"Pushing this power to the extreme, completely unleashing the instinctive light and power in the heart, even the gods may not be able to defeat it, right? Starting from the beginning of life, and then embarking on this path, if it is carried out to the extreme, it should be able to reach the level of a sage—but I have not yet come up with the inference of that step. ”

Removing the phantom of the human form in his hand, Joshua did not name this path, because he himself did not fully understand it, but it did not matter, because the 'possibility' itself was also precious, the warrior and the triple curtain continued to move forward in a vacuum, and the giant god continued to calm down: "But this is only a person's path, and a heart that is too independent will be isolated from other wisdoms and form an extremely strong position. ”

"Relying too much on the power of digging into the depths of the self and liberating one's body and mind, relying on this alone, the transcendent can easily become a beast...... Alone, no matter how powerful it is, as long as it cannot achieve 'acceptance' and 'integration', that is, to understand the power of others, to understand the 'difference' that is different from oneself, to gather the wisdom of all beings, as long as it has not surpassed the limit of the sword of legends and sages, then it is nothing more than that. ”

"So, the second path is the path called 'Divine Power', the original transcendent power in this multiverse, it doesn't seem to be mastered by a strong person at present, it is still primitive and instinctive, I think as long as the divine power is used perfectly, then this may be the fastest shortcut to become a sage, right? Haha, it's a shortcut, but it's not easy to master divine power, even if it's a natural god, it will eventually be annihilated by its own power. ”

"However, the 'true god' requires all individuals of a whole civilization to contribute wisdom, and at the same time bear two completely different or even opposite divinities, this essence of 'acceptance' and 'integration' may be the first step in mastering the path of 'divine power', if the glorious civilization was not destroyed at the beginning, or the transcendent was not destroyed at the beginning, if they continue to study on the path of divine power, I am afraid they can really use this as a basis to enter the realm of sages."

[Understanding: Yes...... You're right...... I felt that it was a possibility! A whole new possibility! Indeed, if one can grasp all the divinity and not be devoured by it, then the individual will naturally be a 'sage of the gods' who has mastered 'full divine power'! 】

[Emotion: Perhaps, the gods are destined to self-destruct, perhaps because they came into contact with the ultimate essence of this primordial power too early......]

In the history of the past tens of millions of years, the Triple Veil has not failed to calculate the divine power materials left by the founder, nor has he not thought of conducting in-depth research on divine power, but as a spiritual energy aggregate, if it wants to use divine power, it will inevitably tear apart the divine rift that is hundreds of millions of times larger than individual life, if not, he will not be able to obtain enough divine power to study it with his size.

It's not that it's impossible, it's just that the stakes are too great - divine power is almost doomed to self-destruction, and as a life custodian that guards all life in the Star World, the Triple Veil will not go against its own 'nature' to do such a thing that will prevent it from continuing to watch over civilization. After all, with his strength, the aftermath generated at the moment of the god's annihilation would probably cause irreversible damage to the entire world of stars.

And at this moment, Joshua's words changed again, and he showed a slight smile: "However, whether it is the fury of 'instinct' or the divine power of 'fusion', it is not complete...... It is not enough to be able to grasp instincts and desires, to be able to accept the unknown and differences, if you can't look ahead and the sky, you will eventually drown in the swamp of 'yesterday'. If we do not pursue the 'forward' and 'move forward' and create new possibilities, no matter how prosperous and powerful the civilization and individual are, it will come to an end. ”

[Think: It sounds like your paths are completely opposite to the evil gods and chaos]

Hearing this, the triple curtain also fell into thought.

[Summary: It's really like the path you can come up with all the time fighting the evil gods]

"Perhaps, after all, the evil god represents the name 'eternity of the old days', which is indeed the complete opposite of me who lives in the present and looks to the future."

Even if he was interrupted, Joshua didn't care, he stretched out his hand, and defeated a few more Chaos Clans in the galaxy on the way to the jump, and then said: "The wreckage of those civilizations that have long since died, but cannot rest in peace, have turned into the chaos of heaven and earth, they have long since died, and naturally there will be no 'instinct' to survive." They have long since merged into one, turning into ignorance, pure evil, and naturally there is no need to understand the unknown and the difference between each other. In the end, they are eternal, and naturally do not need to chase the changes and possibilities of 'tomorrow' and 'future', but will always stay in 'yesterday' and dominate the 'past' that will never change. ”

"So, the third way, I ......"

[Strong Judgment: However, the real enemy encountered by the Star World is not the evil god, but the 'super lifeform' called the Extreme Sublimation Virus. All along, it was the 'plague' that fought against us, but it was not the 'plague god']

For some reason, the triple curtain interrupted Joshua's words again, and the unincomprehensible warrior in front of him, the psionic aggregate just sent out a message calmly.

[Warning: Don't speak out.] Do not spread. You just need to know for yourself, Radcliffe, in this dark multiverse, at least, right now, you can't be so generous, because behind that backdrop, you and I can't resist now, right?

[Inquiry: So, now, tell me the true identity of that enemy]

“…… Yes, he's not an evil god. ”

Facing the high level of the triple veil, Joshua was silent for a moment, he looked deeply at the mixed body on his side, unable to see the shape, only knowing that it was a light cluster that was almost the manifestation of the essence of 'psionic energy', and then said softly: "He is a beast...... The most powerful beast. ”

Once, after observing the multi-galaxy, Joshua Van Radcliffe believed that the Void Behemoth was the most powerful beast in the multiverse, and the immortal Bird Void Behemoth, the creature whose supernova explosion was the first song of its birth, was the ultimate in it.

But he was wrong.

If the beast is only a conscious being, the purpose of which is only to survive and reproduce, to perpetuate the self or the message of the self...... So if there is a beast whose reproduction and survival itself is to acquire knowledge, and then to sublimate better, to become stronger, stronger, so strong that nothing in this world can hinder its survival and reproduction......

Then, that kind of beast is probably the most powerful and terrifying beast.

Thinking of this, Joshua raised his head, his gaze penetrated everything, and it seemed that he could directly look beyond the world of stars, and see the incomparably powerful existence behind the world barrier.

Outside the barrier of the Star World, along with countless silk threads sliding in the void, countless runes and extraordinary powers were inscribed on it, and it could be seen that under the control of a giant cocoon of light, an unprecedented huge magic circle was being woven and formed, and then covered the barrier of the Star World.

"The mind and the self-will are illusions, and they are puppets of instinct...... No, to the point where it is the embodiment of instinct! ”

"The desire to survive, the desire to explore, the desire to be curious, the desire to dominate...... The desire called 'existence'! If there is a transcendent power called 'existence' in this world, then it is the one that has gone the furthest on this path. ”

So powerful. Even the evil god is just its tool, Joshua's body clenched four fists, and outside the world of stars, Joshua's clone who was preparing the 'plan' also clenched four fists, and he could feel, feel that there was an incomparably pure desire from the unprecedentedly strong enemy.

-- Want to move forward --

-- want to survive --

-- I want to be strong --

-- want to fight --

-- I want to reproduce --

-- want to dominate --

——What I want is for all things in all worlds, all things are self-only, and to achieve 'complete existence'——

Outside the world of stars, the woven circle was urged, it took on an irregular oval shape, as if a world was spread out, transforming all the matter into a not very perfect woven spider web, this web-like circle was layered on top of each other, as majestic and huge as the world, and in it, the runes that were like gears and precise bites rotated, bursting out with unparalleled power, causing the torrent of the demon tide to be displaced.

It began to descend, closer, and completely touched the outer shell of the world of stars, the barrier that blocked the void and the interior of the world, and it could be seen that it was so strong that even if Joshua himself used all his strength and the light cocoon beat hard, it might not be able to completely destroy, and even the barrier that could only destroy the most insignificant layer of its outer shell, actually began to slowly let down its guard under the erosion of this magic circle, as if admitting that the 'magic circle' was actually a part of itself, and it was slowly melting.

At this moment, an unusually powerful alien space fluctuation appeared in the center of the dark galaxy, and with it, there were complex and equally powerful, but relatively inconspicuous sub-signals-but feeling these sub-signals, the chaotic clans who had originally evacuated and gathered from all over the world from the stars and gathered in the dark galaxy were boiling, and these monsters without any emotion and reason trembled and squirmed their bodies, as if they wanted to show surrender and face the starting point of their own existence, the source of meaning.

It can be seen that in the chaotic galaxies in the center of several dark galaxies, a large surge of energy appeared, and with the opening of one after another eternal void doors, the extremely active space-time fluctuations began to vibrate with it as the source, as if some behemoth was about to descend on this world!

"It feels...... Is it an evil god?! ”

For the first time, Joshua and the triple curtain looked at the core of the dark galaxy, the warrior's face was solemn, he knew that this day would come, so he took the initiative to attack and compete for the first opportunity.

At the same time, as the world of stars ushered in an unprecedented fluctuation of void time and space and the invasion of malicious existence from the outside world, within the entire multiverse, all the extreme creatures, and even the ordinary life around the extreme creatures, felt a palpitation, which was from the fear at the source of the bloodline, and the incomparable power of the super life that was powerful to the limit was spreading in a wonderful way.

Even in the incomparably distant world of Mycrof, the Moldavian Lord, the legendary powerhouse Lolanda who was assisting in the command under the people of the Lord's Mansion, was keenly aware of a burst of tension, an indescribable, instinctive vigilance.

In the multiverse, wherever the extreme virus goes, all the super beings and legendary powerhouses that have surpassed the extreme will all feel the same tension and vigilance.

[——Near-Sage: Extreme Sublimation Polymer——]

Having controlled the plurality of evil gods, they are migrating towards the end of the great demon tide, where the initial fire is, and existence itself can bring calamity and destruction.

It was determined that there were things in the world of the stars that attracted their desires and curiosities, so they went all out to carry out the invasion of the creatures.

It's roaring.

And its sound swept through the heavens and all worlds.
