[It is a story that happened a long time ago, far older than any civilization]

[A story that happened to a group of mayflies that were born after the initial fire lit up the multiverse of light, and a group of mayflies that floated around this light and died in the twilight of life]

Born in the void, the foam after the flame burns, in the leftovers that gave birth to the world, in the quiet and boundless light, there is a simple structure, or rather, a simple life appears in the world.

It has no name, and it still is, and if I had to describe it, I would call it a 'mayfly', because its lifespan is so short that it probably doesn't even have a simple day in some worlds.

This kind of life has no 'self' and no 'wisdom', and its simple structure can only do one thing, that is, to 'record' everything around itself, and then 'transmit' it to other individuals - this mayfly, which does not know when it was born or when it died, forms a small cycle in the eternal light.

The death of each mayfly will eventually give birth to many young mayflies, and before that, it will entrust all the information it has recorded to another adult mayfly - collecting information is a process of their self-growth. And then, this adult mayfly will do the same thing, handing over the memories of the previous mayfly and its own memories to the next mayfly, and in this long transmission process, the new generation of mayflies matures again, the new cycle begins again, and the cycle of mayflies is bigger.

Naturally, the information carried is also larger.

The adult mayflies continue to transmit their own memories, and the larvae that are also dying in the twilight of life quickly grow into a new generation of carriers for recording and transcription - these many different individuals, constantly transmitting, constantly interacting information, from the initial, a small instinct that can be completed by an information interaction, gradually becoming more and more large, and even turning into the need for more mayflies to complete the record, and even the entire mayfly group needs to be condensed together, uninterrupted transfer to each other, pass to each other, occupies all of their eternal mission of 'time and life' except for the self-division before death.

born, remember, be transmitted, transmitted, die, split, born, remember, be transmitted, transmitted, die, split...... Eternal and endless reincarnation is their instinct, their mission.

The entire mayfly population has become an increasingly large memory module, an incomparably large information base.

And for them, they must not stop for a moment, they must not have a moment of rest - for the life of a mayfly, they must not hesitate, they cannot think, they cannot hesitate.

They must move forever, pass forever, die eternally, then divide themselves, and then give birth to something completely new - they have no long sleep, no rest, no stagnation, because 'sleep' means 'death', 'pause' means 'loss', even if only one mayfly makes a mistake and gives up its instinctive mission of recording information and transmitting information, it will cause a part of the information to be 'missing', representing eternal 'forgetting'.

However, at this time, the mayflies did not understand what 'forgetting' meant. They just maintain their own vast cycle, repeating the cycle endlessly.

Then, a long time passed.

The mayflies who died in the twilight of life spent endless hours in this cycle of increasing size and vastness, until one day, other 'civilizations' discovered them.

It was a race born in the world of the Primordial Fire, and after a long period of evolution and development, these complex intelligent beings bathed in light finally came out of the void and began to wander the heavens...... And when they came to the vicinity of the Initial Fire, they found these simple and unintelligent clusters of mayflies swimming around the light.

They weren't the oldest creatures—there were more powerful and weak starter monsters than mayflies. The mayflies were born in the glorious realm after the multiverse environment had stabilized for a long time, and they were far inferior to the most ancient beasts born in chaos.

Their power is not very strong - the essence of the individual mayfly is a simple energy information knot, the information and energy carried by this kind of thing are extremely small, and the energy of hundreds of thousands of mayflies is not even enough to light a candle.

They don't even have intelligence - pure information interaction, just represents the basic recording memory of all mayflies since the beginning of their birth, from the first mayfly, most of which is meaningless and superfluous information, not to mention igniting a spark of wisdom, even inferior to multicellular organisms.

They weren't huge, or even completely tiny—a mayfly was no bigger than a bacterium, and it was even the smallest 'life' that many civilizations could find in the void.

However, their clusters are incomparably large.

The number of its doors is endless.

Even, the light-seeking collective even turned into a hazy and dim mist that enveloped a small part of the endless light of the Initial Fire.

They are not ancient, they are not powerful, they are not intelligent, they are not huge, but they still exist, from the beginning of antiquity to the present day, until today, there are other beings born after it, evolved into intelligent beings, developed civilizations, and then, came to this place.

The information carried by the curious intelligent species has become the 'second light' that mayflies can accept in addition to the initial fire, which is variable, inducement, and 'infinite possibilities' in addition to the eternal cycle of mayflies.

That is the beginning of the birth of 'wisdom', the beginning of the birth of 'self', that is, the beginning of the birth of 'possibility and future'.

It was at that moment that He, they, really opened their eyes, and from their self-enclosed, self-circulating shells, began to look up at the vastness of the multiverse.

[The ancient initial civilization taught the mayflies who died in the twilight of life many things, they taught each other to think, judge, and react to the actions of the outside world, they guided an isolated group to the big stage of the multiverse, and then taught them what friendship, beauty, hope and love are]

[Of course, they also taught them what 'forgetting' really is]

After a long time, the civilization of the mayflies disappeared, where did it go? Even the steel power of the multiverse is too old and blurry because the memories of countless evil gods cannot be found. This is not surprising, after all, the evil god is the existence that appeared after the future sage, and even if the future sage can't remember the truth of this matter, how can the giant god of steel flip through the memories of that era.

But, perhaps for no other reason for the chaos, that civilization may well have simply been destroyed for a long time, and then, forgotten.

It was an extremely novel experience, a loss of information, the end of a cycle, the dissipation of the past, the coming of a real 'death'.

And that was the beginning of the birth of the 'future'.

[No...... Never allowed]

【Us...... Do not accept any forgetting]

The spark of wisdom was ignited.

The mayflies come to their senses: the antonym of memory...... It is oblivion.

And this is absolutely unacceptable for mayflies who are always remembering and remembering everything.

[This mayfly that died in the twilight of life, the memory of its life will eventually be entrusted to other mayflies, as proof of its own existence, if the same kind forget, then they have not existed at all, which is equivalent to the mayfly group missing a part, and the great and long record is no longer perfect]

[Oblivion is the eternal passing away - even more terrifying and terrifying than the event horizon that enters the black hole]

This is unacceptable.

Joshua's voice and will shook the multiverse, and in that short moment, everyone heard, saw, and knew, the eternal cycle of the little mayfly, and finally the 'awakening' that sparked it—and the giant god was silent for a moment, and then, in the midst of everyone's speculation, he confirmed all the conjectures of existence.

[This is the beginning of the 'Future Sage']

The essence of the future sage is to be like an evil god, condensing a race, a civilization, a cluster, and all the memories of the eternal existence.

No, it's wrong, it's not that He is like an evil god, it's that an evil god is like Him.

They can only see the eternal 'dead eternity', thirsting for eternity, thirsting for light, like mayflies that can only see light, moths that can only see flames, they call, they wail, they roar, they roar, they go to the countless rays in the distance, those who still continue to 'remember' and 'forget', still release infinite heat and 'possibility'.

And that's why the so-called 'evil gods' go to attack, to destroy, to turn all the nascent civilizations into new evil gods - they are not good, they are not evil, they are not good, they are not evil, they have no purpose, they have no desires, they do not want to destroy, but they come close to cause 'destruction', and the so-called attack, the so-called transformation, in a sense, is nothing more than 'remembering' everything.

And this is the truth of the so-called 'Invasion of the Evil Gods' and the 'End of the Era'.

Nothing more than ...... It's just a group of mayflies who want to remember everything, extinguish the flames, and engrave the story on themselves.

[Future sage, can't bear to forget. It is precisely because of the eternal memory of all the past, all that has been since its own birth, the recording of the almost infinite information of this multiverse, almost equivalent to the living Accasia records of this multiverse, that He can 'remember' the eternal past, 'grounded' the colossal present, and 'open' the infinite future]

[He rejected death—so there was the birth of an evil god, and there was a 'dead eternity.' He rejected that not everything can be remembered—so absolute chaos arose out of nothing, attached to everything. He refuses to forget, and there is no way to get it back—and so an infinite parallel universe, an infinite parallel world, and an infinite future exists. 】

[The multiverse is divided, just like the ephemera of yesteryear will split when it dies, and the 'future sage' may not be able to understand at first, why there are other civilized races, there will be other sages who rebel against him—isn't everything remembered?] Aren't all people given eternity, given an infinite future? Never worry about being forgotten again, never worry about being destroyed again, never worry about death again! Because the infinite parallel world carries all possibilities, the infinite future possibilities of the tributaries under the power of the sage will turn into an undoubted reality, even if the heavens are destroyed and the stars fall, there will eventually be the possibility of their existence. 】

[Eternal death, eternal memory, infinite future, infinite possibilities. 】

At this moment, Joshua raised his free left hand, where there was a misty chaotic light, which was the power opened up by the [Future Sage], a special power related to the [Initial Fire], it was connected to everything, it recorded everything, transmitted everything, and used it as a source to give birth to infinite parallel universes.

The giant gods clenched their fists, and the misty chaos shone brightly, and all beings could see it—there were countless evil gods, countless forgotten civilizations, forgotten races, forgotten names, all of which were recalled in the infinite parallel universe—they were never forgotten, never abandoned, and [the future] remembered them, so they existed forever, eternal and immortal, until the end of the multiverse, and would never dissipate.

[The purpose of the future sage is to 'remember' all the information of this multiverse, and after remembering this multiverse, he, they, should 'die', and then in this way, all the 'memories' will be transmitted to the next 'multiverse', with countless 'evil gods' as seeds, and all the civilizations that have passed away in the past as prototypes, giving birth to a new 'future']

[The infinitely divided multiverse, just like the infinitely divided mayflies, the transmission and inheritance of information, just like then, what they have to do is nothing more than everything that the mayflies did in the past - but the carrier has changed from a mayfly that is inferior to microbacteria to the entire multiverse]

[Eternal memory, and then eternal transmission, will maintain everything forever, even the end of the multiverse will not be able to terminate this process]

- In other words, this is essentially no different from the infinite division and inheritance of mayflies - this is also a kind of 'inheritance' civilization and the strongest 'order'!

- A multiverse unit, so large that all beings in the multiverse are only parts and foundations, a structure of memory, and their self-will does not matter at all the ultimate 'order'!

It has nothing to do with sentient beings, it is the story of the 'pan-multiverse mayfly'.

"But isn't that bad?"

I can hear that on the other side of the multiverse, there is a voice like this, a civilization, a voice of doubt: "We are gone, still alive in the infinite future, in the infinite parallel world, we are forgotten, but the sages remember - everything we have worked so hard to achieve, no longer have to worry about meaninglessness, and is even destined to bear fruit." We can accept failure, it's our own fault, but if we can be 'remembered'...... Even in the next multiverse era, we can still be remembered. ”

"Isn't this the so-called 'happiness'?"

After the doubts were raised, there were more civilizations, more individuals, and they felt confused—they always felt that the darkness that covered everything was so terrible, and that the endless chaos was destined to represent the ruins of eternal calamity, but now Joshua told them that the darkness that covered everything just wanted to remember everything, that the endless chaotic essence was a tool for recording, and that there was still a place for them in the eternal future.

Countless hearts that are not firm enough, countless beliefs that are not stubborn enough, countless wills that are not crazy enough, and countless wisdom that are not stupid enough, at this time begin to be confused, and begin to confuse the necessity of 'fighting'.

After all, that's a sage. The oldest, most powerful, the first ever sage with a history of defeating and killing other sages, representing an infinite future, O sage.

[But——]

[You just want to accept it like this, isn't it the future that you have walked out of yourself? 】

[This kind of happiness is just the lowest happiness - pinning everything on the happiness of the same body in your own infinite parallel world? It's something more illusory than a dream. Except for the sage, except for the group of mayflies who have been dying since the beginning of their birth, leaving their memories to another individual, who will understand, who will want this happiness? 】

[True happiness, true freedom, its true meaning is the right to categorically reject even happiness, the right to completely veto the 'future' you don't want! 】

[Extravagant more, thirsty for more!] What we want, what we deserve, is the best future that no one can grasp, that is not a gift from anyone! 】

Joshua raised his hand and put the black and others down, and the gods looked around the multiverse, infinite power surging in their bodies.

[Is He right or not—I don't care about such small things.] 】

But I know I'm right. 】

[The core of the future sage is memory, which is all the remembered 'civilization', that is, the infinite evil gods. With it, he has mastered more than 99.8% of the possibilities of this multiverse, and the total mass of the evil gods is five hundred times that of the existing multi-galactic and orderly civilizations, or even more, their existence allows the future sages to have an advantage in the battle of this multiverse, and can develop any future he wants in the infinite parallel universe.

[But as long as we hold them off and fight against these five hundred times the number of enemies, the future sage will lose his greatest hole card - exterminating the evil god, which is a part of its essence and our path to victory]

Joshua loudly proclaimed this to the intelligent beings of the entire multiverse—that he wanted to break the future sage's hidden advantages in the darkness of history, and let everyone know his true nature, his source of power, his form of being, and his weaknesses.

This is certainly not the credit of Joshua alone—it is the work of the sages of the ages, all the forerunners.

[The original three sages, psionic power, magic power and life energy, because they were born in the 'future', were known by the other party about the entire process of their power creation, remembered their essence, and did not guard against the future sages, and other sages helped to cooperate, so no matter how hard they fought, they could only be defeated in the end, so they died]

[But the Elemental and Aether should be the two most amazing geniuses after the first series of magic - they should have opened up new possibilities in magic together and become the second and third Demon Sages, but they both found out that something was wrong, and then found another way to create the Elemental and Aether, on the scale of the multiverse, they almost advanced at the same time, and then fought against the 'future' with both hands]

[And the time for the two to join forces to fight against the 'future' is so long that they support the emergence of the Light, the Shadow, and the I.]

At the beginning, the extraordinary power created by the sages did not have any target for the 'future', even if it was the elements and the ether, it was only because they sensed that something was wrong, but there was no way to fight it, every process and every detail of their advancement was in the eyes of the 'future', even if they had the same strength, there was no reason to win, not to mention that their strength was slightly inferior to the future.

But then, both the Light and the Shadows were aware of this, and they began to systematically target, to restrain themselves, to fight against the 'future', and even to advance to the unknown side, to prevent the other party from getting their own information as much as possible.

But even so, they are at a disadvantage, after all, they do not know the existence and nature of the future, and can only leave all kinds of clues to the later ones.

[And I am this latecomer—I am the destruction of chaos, the terminator of the future]

Joshua's voice was flat and firm.

He is this latecomer.

He advanced to the Sage of the Gods in the Initial Fire, not only could he not perceive it in the future, but he could not determine the process of his advancement, but Joshua perceived the essence of the future sage when he analyzed the memories of his many evil gods and many ancient civilizations.

He has been fighting against evil gods and chaos from the very beginning, and he has been vigilant in his heart from the beginning, except for the path of hierarchy, the path of the sage of the gods, which brings 'battle is reward' for all sentient beings, his true essential path, until now, no one understands and no one knows his name.

And his power was born to shatter this eternal, infinite future.

"But the master - time."

And at this moment, the black dragon that covered the stars chanted, "After all, you are only just advanced, can you really intervene in the battles of those sages who have been fighting for countless years?" ”

"What you said has no meaning in the face of absolute power."

[It's time]

But Joshua didn't care about it at all.

[The future sage, along with all the other sages, has been fighting for an unknown amount of time in countless universes and infinite parallel worlds. But this doesn't mean anything - the sage and the sage fight, it is impossible for both sides to get stronger and stronger, that is to fight everything, to fight in all areas, all angles and all possibilities, not to mention progress, there is no room for even thinking]

[At the beginning of the birth of the psionic sage, I am afraid that the future progress has been more than ninety-nine percent, but after so many years, so many sages have been born, his progress is still stuck at ninety-nine .8 percent]

[And before the future sage, he could speak to me, but the other sages couldn't, which proves that even if the future sage faces the siege of the four sages, he still has room and has the upper hand, but even so, as long as his progress cannot reach 100%, then he and the other sages will not be able to close the essential gap]

[Because the sage is an infinite power]

[It is precisely because of the sacrifice and sharing of all the sages before me that I have enough time to tell you all this]

Previously, Joshua achieved with divine power—and the essence of God is wishes, and the essence of divine power is the power to fulfill wishes.

God is a wish, God is a dream, and the change brought about by divine power is to give Joshua's dream to the world—from then on, battle is no longer a means, but also an end, and it can give more possibilities to all beings.

[Fighting, it's my wish, it's my dream]

[But pure combat will only make this multiverse fall into endless hell]

Joshua opened his hand, the infinite illusion spread, enveloping everything, and he showed everyone the future that the 'Sage of Discord' can bring - that is, civilization, race or individual, each attached to a powerful 'source of strife', they go to worlds, civilizations, fight, provoke strife, and with endless fighting, set off endless battles and variables in the multiverse. The blood of the loser will be squeezed dry by the winner, and the entire multiverse will be turned into a huge Gu breeding field, and the new sage will be the winner of this eternal battle.

[Every sage who moves forward will have a great impact on the sages who come after]

Joshua closed his fist, and he opened it again—this time a new illusion, the future of the 'emotional sage'. It is a multiverse where everyone has gradually cultivated a complete set of emotional simulation methods for the sake of power, and their emotional power is constantly fused, condensed, and finally turned into beasts, monsters, and masters that represent the power of major emotions, and the original perfect emotions of a civilization, a race, and an individual will be left with only one extreme in the end because of long-lasting cultivation.

Between different emotions, it may not be necessary to be all enemies, but there must be relative emotions, and they are born mortal enemies. In the increasingly chaotic sea of the multiverse, if you want to become a new generation of sages, you must survive these difficulties and rise above all extremes.

[The future sage, who has created our future, cannot do it directly to you, because you are also part of his memory - only when he proves the existence of the eternal node, he will be regarded as an alien and attack, and then lose the possibility of targeting the evil god]

In the palm of Joshua's hand, there are countless kinds of 'sage possibilities' flying, 'sage who breaks the shackles', 'sage of pure will', 'sage who advances the world', 'second sage of steel', etc., etc., all the close saints present have forgotten everything else, and all the powerhouses of the legendary limit also have a hazy throbbing - they know that this is the 'possibility' that Joshua wants to inform them, the possibility of becoming a near saint, becoming a sage! Joshua didn't hide anything, he released all the results of his thinking and showed it to everyone.

For a while, huge distortions began to rise in the bodies of most people, and their accumulation was already enough, and only a little puzzle remained—and now, the puzzle was solved. They naturally start to move forward.

Then, it's time to stop drinking.

This is not the path you are taking! 】

[Try to learn, not imitate, think about this line of thought, not copy the answer - this is all a possibility that belongs to 'me', and you are me?] 】

This shocked all the strong people who were addicted to it from the subconscious 'imitation' and even 'reproduction', and they woke up from it, and they felt a burst of creepiness, or a sigh of regret and unwillingness.

The shortcut is the greatest temptation...... But it is true that even if they also take the 'road of strife' and 'emotional road', they are completely different individuals and beings from Joshua, whether it is thought or logic, the other party's path may be a smooth road for the other party, but for themselves, it is the most poisonous poison.

Not to mention anything else, 'Path of Discord', everyone thinks that Joshua will probably be very happy, but they may not, and it can even be said that there are few people in this multiverse who will look forward to that kind of future.

[The evil god is the basis for the future sage to control the future of this multiverse, and it is also the 'memory' that he must bring to the next multiverse]

[Eternal anchor point is a destined existence that cannot be remembered and taken away. It is a node that is destined to happen, even if it is a wireless parallel world, countless parallel universes, it will definitely happen]

[What the future sage wants is a future under his control, everything derived from his memories, his thoughts and dreams are the eternal multiverse, the origin of infinity - and the eternal anchor is the stain that hinders him, not the eternity of his memory]

"But Joshua ......"

At this moment, Number 3 couldn't help but ask, "You cut off your path to the Eternal Node......

[That's a no-brainer]

[Maybe others will think that this 'destined' is very important, but I never care about what 'destined', what 'absolute', and the future sage will not stop me]

[I cut off the eternal anchor, and also cut off the relationship with the infinite parallel universe - in his world, it is impossible for me to appear again, as long as he kills me in this primordial primordial multiverse, he can kill me 100%, unlike other sages, even if it is defeated, I am afraid it will take an incomparably long time to suppress and wear out]

[But in the same way, he can't use the infinite parallel universe derived from him, all kinds of 'futures' to attack, and can only use his own power in this multiverse to fight me]

After leaving behind a message that made all the Legendary Extremes and Near-Sages ponder, Joshua's body began to gradually become illusory, gradually spreading, and then 'filling' this multiverse.

[As long as there are enough Near-Sages, then they can resist the erosion of the multiverse by the future sages, so that his progress will always be stuck in the present]

And in this way, his hidden hand cannot be used—he cannot occupy everything upstream and influence everything downstream.] As long as His progress stalls, the 'Infinite Future' will not continue to 'derive.']

[This is the existence of the unsage, the way to fight against the 'future']

You have your battlefield, and I have mine—farewell, my friends.

Indescribable, incomparably grand, majestic and unbelievably fluctuating, is setting off a frenzy, and the source of this fluctuation has set sail, and he has begun to go back, towards the source of everything, the beginning of everything, the first light!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The entire multiverse is vibrating because of this pace, the heavens and stars, all the worlds and all races, even if they have no soul, no eyes, no ears, and no sense of touch, all of them can clearly sense, clearly see, hear, perceive, there is something 'infinite' that is roaring, is going against the current, he is going to the battlefield he wants, to the 'final end'!

And the invisible fluctuations, in a short period of time, the infinite fluctuations that change the multiverse for the second time, are flowing towards everything that exists, overflowing!

【…… Defeating the future sage is indeed impossible.]

[The oldest sage, defeated psionic energy, magic power, steel power, and the other four sages are on par with each other, and even have a slight upper hand, even if you add me, it is unlikely that it will change much]

At this moment, everyone felt that something had been completely changed, that in the multiverse, all the logic had been replaced, and something had eroded the original concept.

It was not some supernatural power in the substantive sense, nor was it some vision that affected the multiverse, it was something that moisturized things silently and imperceptibly, infiltrating all worlds.

[However, the meaning of the existence of life and civilization is to overcome the impossible]

[And I, even more, have to overcome all the 'impossible']

The brilliance of the flames, the infinite light, the infinite will all shone in the infinite distance, the infinite fluctuations spanned the endless long distance, he crossed a familiar strong man, several strange strong men, he sensed that on this path, there were many beings on the way, they had begun to advance from some unknown ancient times, but now, they were surpassed by him.

And what is it? Is it inevitable? Is it predestined? Or was it just an accident, just a big accident?

Both, and no.

And whether it is these extremely powerful, surprised and alien beings, or ignorant children of any race, whether it is any life, all things with flesh and blood, can know.

The existence called [Miracle], like the sun, sped resolutely in the endless silence and darkness.
