Starfall 833 years.

The undulating hills of Moldova are like layers of solidified waves, covered by the colors brought by the heavy snow of deep winter, and it is late at night, and the beasts are lurking, the birds are silent, and there is a scarred gap in the sky, and the moonlight is falling.

The frost refracted the moon, the sparkling silver light made Mount Modes glow, and at the same time, St. Eagle's passage through the barrier of space to the Northlands.

An old hand stretched out, and the Pope smoothed the ripples of time and space at his side, and he looked in front of him, the target of his trip, the warrior who surprised him again and again.

- He's getting stronger again.

This was the first thought that crossed Eagle's mind when he saw Joshua.

It is only after more than a hundred years that their qi and blood decay, their physical bodies decay, and there is a disharmony between their soul and will, which will gradually reduce their strength and return to decay.

But it is clear that the strengthening that can make the Pope of the Church of the Seven feel emotional is certainly not this natural increase, but a more essential change.

Eagle stared intently at Joshua today.

Compared with a few months ago, when the Far Sea Sacred Mountain was in the distant sea, the warrior's body at this time contained several times the majestic vitality of the past, and the terrifying energy conformed to the warrior's will, flowing in his incomparably strong and indestructible torso, layer after layer of intricate and complex special structures, and even between the muscles and blood vessels, they constituted an innate rune-like structure, releasing the power that belonged to Joshua.

Eagle can feel the familiar breath from it, that is beyond the mortal things in the heaven and earth, the power of direct source steel and fire, and the last time it was only the first hint of the beginning, at this time Joshua has already grasped the essence of this power, only need a little more insignificant comprehension, he is very likely to cross the biggest barrier in this world, and realize that he can master the power of the destiny of heaven.

The power of legends.

"One step away, Joshua van Radcliffe."

Closing his eyes, and then opening them again, Eagle couldn't help but sigh softly, he looked at the pale-haired warrior with a complicated expression, and there was a hint of admiration in his tone: "You are only one step away from us, I originally thought that this day would come in a few years, or even more than ten years, but I never expected that it would come so quickly." ”

The terrifying speed even disrupted his thoughts, and the old Pope was so shocked that he forgot the purpose of his visit to the Northlands.

"One step away, there is a world of difference, Your Majesty the Pope, you should not have come here to talk about this."

After saluting, Joshua turned his head slightly, looked at the distant sky, and after making sure that there was no reaction there, the warrior understood that Pope Iger's arrival was not a sudden situation, but something that had been predetermined a long time ago, maybe his battle with Herras would take place under the eyes of several legendary powerhouses.

So, what is it that attracts the ruler of the Church of the Seven from the southernmost part of the continent to the far north? Is it the sealed Evil God Shard, or the Blighter Herras?

And the old Pope seemed to be able to see through Joshua's thoughts, he shook the pure white scepter in his hand, shook his head with a smile, and said, "Don't guess, Joshua, I didn't come here for those little things, but for you." ”

"Of course." As he said this, Iger's eyes fell on Brandon, who was still talking softly to Virdani not far away, and his eyes fell on the double blade on the swordsman's waist: "It also has something to do with this friend of yours." ”

The arrival of the old pope did not alarm anyone, except for Joshua, whether it was Brandon or Verdany, there was no reaction, let alone the golden powerhouses of other forces, they did not notice the slightest abnormality, as if this legendary powerhouse did not exist here at all, Iger's figure was like an ethereal light, no one could see it except the warriors.

"He's important."

Staring at Brandon for a moment, Eagle whispered, "If it weren't for you, he might be the best choice...... But since you have you, then no one else has any chance. ”

What's going on?

Joshua couldn't help frowning, the old pope's mysterious tone made him a little confused, and the warrior asked directly, "Your Majesty, do you have something to ask me for?" ”

"That's right."

Without denying this, Eagle seemed to think of something, he clenched the scepter in his hand, nodded and replied, "But this is not a good place to talk. ”

As he spoke, the old Pope stretched out his hand towards Joshua.

"You're just staying here."

Seeing this, the warrior turned his head to look at the Shenji siblings beside him, and whispered, and then he also reached out and held Iger's palm.

- It's not flesh and blood.

The moment it came into contact, Joshua noticed that Pope Iger's old palm was not a human flesh and blood, but was condensed by countless energies and countless 'lights', it was formless, weightless, but it could be condensed into the shape he wanted with the old Pope's mind, and had the nature he wanted.

"Let's go." Eagle said.

And the next moment, with a burst of hazy white light, the figures of the two suddenly disappeared, completely disappearing from Mount Modeus.

In the distance, Israel and Nostradamus watched as a pillar of light that could not be seen by ordinary people rose from the ground to the sky, like a retrograde meteor.

"Let's go." After staring at it for a moment, the Lord of the Empire shook his head and said in a low voice, "Nostradamus, we still have a lot of work to do. ”

"You're right, Your Majesty." The old mage nodded in agreement, and then the two of them stepped over a blue-blue portal that appeared before the two of them, and vanished.

The world of Microf, the outer void.

In the cold, dead darkness, a warm arc of light suddenly lit up.

When Joshua came to his senses and opened his eyes, he was already on the outer side of the endless world.

No gravity, no air, extreme cold. The feeling of coldness and suffocation came quickly, but the warrior did not panic about it, the life energy in his body was running, and a transparent diaphragm was immediately born on the surface of his skin and eyes, and the black-red energy surrounded Joshua's body, forming a circle of light, intercepting the faint radiation of void energy.

After doing this, he had the energy to look around.

And the scenery that the warrior saw made him slightly stunned.

In the void, the stars were shining, and in the endless dead darkness, there were endless stars that shimmered, and without the obstruction of the atmosphere and dust, brilliant galaxies appeared in front of Joshua's eyes, they flickered with the warrior's breath, and moved with the warrior's breath.

But Joshua didn't keep his attention focused on the brilliant sea of stars in the distance, instead, he looked down at him.

It was an invisible barrier of indescribable, hazy light that flowed, and the warrior's gaze condensed through this barrier, and he could see behind it layers of white clouds, black and green earth, and deep blue ocean.

That's the McCrove plane.

The world, at this time, is under him.

After a moment of silence, Joshua turned his head and looked to his side, where Pope Eagle was standing beside him, also gazing at the world below.

Noticing Joshua's gaze, the old Pope smiled slightly, and he said with some emotion, "This should be your first time in the outer void, right?" I was amazed that you were so calm. ”

I've just seen something like this before.

Joshua didn't want to explain more, he wasn't a polite and euphemistic character, so after thinking about it, the warrior asked directly: "Now that we are in the void, under the crown of the Pope, what can we say now?" ”

"Of course." As if he had anticipated the warrior's character, Eagle didn't feel any dissatisfaction with Joshua's straightforward words, and he simply asked, "Joshua, do you know about the 'Great Demon Tide'?" ”

The warrior nodded, of course he knew about the Great Demon Tide, he had been waiting for it since Joshua crossed over.

In the year of the fall of the stars, the tide of magic is coming, strife is gradually emerging, along with the tide of magic that sweeps across the multiverse, the barriers between worlds and worlds are declining, causing time and space passages to appear frequently, gods fall into the sky, the abyss seal is opened, and the wrestling of chaos and order causes the stars to fade and the demons to rejuvenate.

The demon tide is the source of all the strife that will come in the future, it brings great progress enough to push civilization to the level of thousands of years, but it is also the end of the world more terrible than hell, under the invasion of endless abyss demons, scorching heat and fierce winds burn the seas, fire clouds and ashes cover the sky, people struggle and wail in it, and there is no day to sleep.

Eagle didn't know what Joshua was thinking in his heart, he just looked up and looked at the vast stars twinkling in the darkness with some distraction.

Then, the pope of the Church of the Seven calmly raised his hand, pointed in one direction in the void, and said, "Behold, Joshua. ”

The warrior followed his direction and looked to the side of the starry sky.

It was a slightly brighter field than the other voids, and there was nothing strange to notice other than a brilliant starlight and a glittering galaxy.

No. Wait a minute. In the process of continuous observation, the warrior's eyes suddenly moved, he frowned, looked at the star field seriously, and then said in a deep voice: "...... That starry is a little weird! ”

The stars in the void are the light projected by countless worlds, and the light and darkness of these rays represent the good or bad conditions of their worlds, but all the stars in that star field are a little brighter than normal.

Their light intertwined, even producing a nebula-like mist of light, which was spreading towards other star fields at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In this chaotic void, between the stars and the stars, under the barrier of the world and the world, this light mist can actually spread at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Seeing the shock in Joshua's eyes, a faint smile appeared on the old pope's face, and he looked at the bright star field with the warrior like this, and said softly, "That's the Demon Tide." ”

"A magical tidal wave that spans the stars and worlds, sweeping across the entire multiverse, will bring with it forces that we cannot imagine, and horrors that we already know."

Iger's voice was soft, but it was incomparably clear, and his words echoed in the warrior's ears with the energy resonating around them: "Behemoths don't nest in shrubs, whale sharks don't swim in streams, even evil gods, and the magic tide makes the realms shine brightly, which naturally attracts the behemoths of the Void Chaos, and conforms to the waves of energy that even gods can't imagine, and they will be active like never before." ”

It was long since there was no need to explain who 'they' represented, and Joshua nodded, he understood what Eagle was trying to say.

The old Pope turned his head and looked at the Azure Orb in the warrior's heart, the pure white scepter and orb in his hand had an obvious and incomparable resonance, and the aura of divine order overflowed, and even a pure white aura appeared in the cold and dead void.

"The things inherited by the sages are missing."

Sighing deeply, Iger's expression was unprecedentedly heavy, so much so that the wrinkles on his face were much more obvious: "If it was before, we could still go with it, but now it's different, Joshua, we have to gather all the power that can be gathered, and gathering the four sage lineages is the most important thing, it hides the mystery of the Initial Fire, and we are bound to get it." ”

"Do you know where it is?"

The warrior asked suddenly.

“…… Yes. Glancing deeply at Joshua, Eagle replied with great seriousness, "According to the speculation of the Seven Gods, the Church has mastered the last of the sages' lineage and the location of its successor, which is located in an extremely distant marginal world. ”

"You want me to get it back?"

An indescribable smile appeared on the warrior's face: "To that far-flung marginal world? ”

“…… That's right. After being silent for a while, the old pope said with some hesitation: "Joshua, I'm not trying to make things difficult for you, the Church of the Seven Gods is seriously damaged, and there is no way to teleport the team on a large scale to another distant world to find an unknown successor, and the inheritors resonate with each other, this is the best choice." ”

"I ...... I have a lot of responsibilities and can't get out. Speaking of this, Eagle turned his head a little painfully and looked at the Mycrof Continent below, his voice contained a trace of bitterness and determination: "Lolanda is in retreat, and the inheritors of the Twin Blades of Order have just broken through the Extreme Intent, they are not the best choice, only you can." ”

"I know that this business is extremely dangerous, it is a completely unknown world, even the legendary powerhouse can die, but we have no choice,"

The old Pope seemed to be trying to explain, but the warrior immediately interrupted him.

"I promised."

Joshua shook his head, and in a tone that Eagle couldn't understand at all, he said with a smile, "To another world? ”

He thought about it for a moment, then said lightly, "That's a great idea." ”
