Chapter 9: Spirits (6800)
In the void outside the world, at the boundary of the galaxy, which is not too far from the 'forbidden area of all things', there are several colossal beings who are staring at the sudden light of fire in the distance from a long distance.
They didn't go to help before, or to call for the return of that being, because their strength is relatively too strong, and it is likely that they will not be able to enter the huge world in the forbidden area due to the instinctive rejection between the strong, and depending on the number of fleets going forward, the rescue is estimated to be enough, I am afraid that only when something unexpected happens, they will need to help.
And among these behemoth and powerful beings, some are real bodies here, and some are just incarnations or splits left behind, among which there are familiar people and unfamiliar faces—the incarnation of one of the strong ones is a huge star vortex, which straddles the shadows and the normal plurality of realms, and the core etheric true body is located between the two realms, as if a new and different plurality is condensing.
Amos the Great, who became a near-saint more than 100,000 years ago, has long since broken away from many multiple galaxies and embarked on the direction of going to the end of the initial fire, it can be said that he is tired of playing the game of civilization, and he is also tired of pinching the cultivation of races, of course, it is also possible that he feels that there is no opponent in today's pluralistic galaxies that can make him gain, so he set off and walked towards the end of the journey, finding his own path.
Unlike the vast majority of Near Sages who may have taken the path of [Infinity] or [Eternal], what Emperor Amos did was a path of [Absolute] similar to that of the [Extreme Sublimation Aggregate] of the past, he devoured the abyss of the Blood War Galaxy and connected the two realms of shadow and normal plurality, and the 'Aether True Body' that condensed the sublimation of thousands of worlds and stars served as the intermediate point between the two worlds, the void rift channel of an entity.
The other Near-Sages are a few of the most amazing geniuses in the Great Diversity Alliance, and because of the integration of the knowledge and technology of multiple multiple galaxies, even if the Great Diversity Alliance has been repeatedly destroyed and reborn seven times, it can also give birth to several Extraordinary Near-Saints, who are now the leaders of the four major political parties of the Great Diversity Alliance, leading this perhaps the largest force alliance in the multiverse.
And now, they are all thinking about it now.
Thinking about himself, can he compare to the strong man who was already 'enlightened' 120,000 years ago.
At the far end of the void, the flames became more and more vigorous, the light source became brighter and brighter, and it could even be seen that the silver and red light was condensing into a huge rune, a huge wheel, at first, the eyes and expressions of the near saints could be said to be 'serious', but as time passed, their expressions became more and more stunned, incredible, and even as if they were about to immediately shout 'unbelievable', the shock was beyond comprehension.
"No—it's not the power of the Near Sage!"
Feeling the majestic divine power that was expanding in the distance, and it was still expanding endlessly, as well as an unfamiliar fluctuation, the incarnation of Amos the Great, who originally thought that he had finally caught up, and could even rely on 120,000 years of penance to defeat the other party, suddenly froze, as the strongest among all the Near Sages present, he could sense that behind the brilliant light of divine power, there was an inexplicable and invisible fluctuation that was sweeping across the entire multiverse!
But, unlike the Light, unlike the shadows, unlike any known power in all transmissions, there is no materialized vision of this sweeping wave...... But Amos the Great could clearly feel, and could confirm that there was something in this multiverse that had been changed in a moment before everyone knew it—some restraints, some chains, that were silently opened and shattered!
"It's ......"
The Great Emperor stared at the light in the distance, which had completely illuminated the entire forbidden area of all things in the past, all the dark voids, under the gaze of many multi-galactic lifeforms, the [Φ]-shaped wheel that had completely condensed and formed, his voice was slight, and he couldn't tell whether it was loss or a strange 'excitement': "That's right, it's indeed ......"
"This is, 'Sage'!"
And at this moment, in the center of the original time trap and the forbidden area of all things, where the current [One God] is located, has been illuminated by the light of divine power, and the surrounding of the void has become extremely bright.
All of the Void fleets that had been close to Joshua before, as well as the powerhouses that had come alone, were all pushed away by a gentle force, retreated, and were sent away to a safe position.
Not only that, but with the distortion of time and space and violent energy fluctuations, many powerhouses who were originally located in Joshua's inner world, and the friends and relatives who called for his return, were also sent away, and at this time, they could still be faintly heard, and the sound of chaos and destruction was sounding in the world, and at the moment when the god of war returned, all the darkness and strong enemies that had not had time to be wiped out in the past were all reduced to nothing, like a bubble in a dream, and they were wiped out at the touch of a button.
I didn't have time to think about anything, I didn't have time to sigh anything, and after doing all this, the rift of the Great Source began to change again—it was originally a long crack behind the gods, running through the Endless Void, and it was a thread derived from the 'Great Source Source Point'.
But now, I can see that in the center of that huge and incomparably large rift, countless more subtle 'lines' began to be released from the source point, turning into streamers of light - this scene is like countless points of light being thrown out of the great source by a force, as if it is like a storm of divine power that has descended on the entire multiverse.
And these raindrops, carrying endless light and endless flames, are speeding towards every corner and every end of the heavens and worlds, as if they want to illuminate everything from ancient times to the present, whether it is the bright center of the multi-star galaxy or the edge of the dark multiverse, the light shines and descends equally.
The people who watched this scene were originally a little unclear, but as the 'rain of light' flashed in front of them, even the near saints couldn't help but be shocked - no matter which point of light, big or small, light or dark, they all contained a powerful aura, even like gods!
No, it's the gods!
- It's the return of the gods!
Didn't go to the Time Trap and the Forbidden Zone of Everything, that is, where Joshua is now, the former [Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice Ground Unifying Will], and now the [Chrono Network Network Center] body that holds the power of the near saint, analyzed the truth behind those points of light faster than anyone else - every drop of rain represents the holy emblem of a god, and every drop of rain holds all the divine power of a god! They turned into a rain of light and bathed all the worlds of the multiverse in gentle divine power!
It can be seen that countless gods have turned into points of light, and they are speeding through the void with their own power in strange trajectories, and they are returning and descending along the tracks, some of them have returned to some worlds that are still alive, worlds that are still civilized, and even some gods have returned to the capital centers of some civilizations - of course, in addition, there are also gods who have descended in the void, in the center of a large area of world wreckage, or even simply within the range of the 'silent void' where there is nothing.
In the past, in these empty areas, there were brilliant civilization inheritances, and there were powerful legends of gods, even if endless time has passed, civilization annihilation, genocide, and even the world no longer exists, but in the endless and distant ancient times, there are indeed myths and legends that the gods have perished and returned to their origins.
And now, they are all back, coming back to the world they have given all for.
All the light chasers, all the light chasers who could observe, stared intently at this scene.
The rulers of their homeland, who had left the Three Realms and Nine Heavens, were now in the void, gazing at the full picture of their former world—they saw the reality of the steel land where they used to live.
It was the center of an endless and huge giant giant god's chest, and the vast armadillo where all the light seekers lived, was nothing more than a part of the giant god's 'world hub realm', called the 'core igniter'.
But in that insignificant little area, on that continent that is actually incomparably vast, there are endless myths that belong to the Lightseekers, countless epics, countless heroes and races who have generously lamented and sacrificed everything they have to fight against chaos and the harsh environment.
And now, the world that carries all their memories has awakened, and their creator and Heavenly Father have returned to this multiverse, so that everything that has passed, even if it has long been reduced to ashes of historical nothingness, has been forcibly pulled back and recreated in this world! It can be seen that at the end of the era of the gods in the past, those gods who died inexplicably and fell are now all returned, and all all beings and countless races who died and died because of this are all resurrected in an instant, as if they never passed away.
It can be seen that when all the races were removed from the world of the giant god, there were silver points of light flying within it, and it was the only race that was left behind, or rather, it should have been there. They were laughing, praising the Lord who had never forgotten them, and who they had never forgotten.
There was no time to sigh, there was no time to think, even the Near Sage couldn't figure out what was going on for a moment, and at this moment, a long, desolate horn sounded out of thin air, resonating throughout the entire multiverse.
It is the horn of the charge, the horn of battle, the horn that means never looking back, destined to move forward, and the horn that means never retreating, and is bound to be invincible!
This voice resounded throughout the multiverse, and since then, the battle itself has meaning - no matter what provokes the battle, whether the battle achieves its purpose or not, whether the winner has the power to plunder the loser after the battle is over, as long as the battle is fought and there is a result, then the fighter can get power from the world around him!
- It's like if you have enough imagination and faith, you can awaken spiritual energy; It's like if you have enough perception and wisdom, you can induce magic; It's like having enough affinity for all things to call on the elements, just as the heart is firm and pure enough to drive the ether.
- Just as the desire in the heart is strong enough, the life energy will respond from the depths of life; Just as the heart is willing to give and help, the Light will come from the immensity; As if trying to break free from all bondage and captivity, shadows can overflow from the most secret places.
Just like this, as long as you want to fight, and go to battle, you can gain power, gain 'experience', and then 'level up'!
Incredible power erupted, baptizing all beings in all worlds - I don't know how many life races have been changed in an instant, and then gained talent, increased strength, or obtained a completely different, 'future possibility'! Regardless of the existence of this power, whether the future will become a 'demon king' who ruthlessly kills everything for the sake of power or a 'warrior' who fights for all living beings, at least, this is a new possibility, it is a power that is absolutely fair but absolutely unfair regardless of good and evil, regardless of race!
And the real enemy of this power is 'Chaos' itself - killing Chaos has gained more experience and advanced options than killing any order existence, and its founders hate all 'unchanging eternity', all 'stagnant futures', whether it is a stagnant Void race or an ancient civilization caught in endless reincarnation, as long as you fight all these sad things and defeat them, the combatant can gain the power to restart these stagnant beings and bring endless possibilities!
This 'change' that reverberates in the multiverse is gradually transforming everything, but this action that shocked everyone is not all - it can be seen that behind the reawakened giant god, there is a huge steel wheel that appears from the void behind it, and the silver steel power and the red god flame are divided into two opposite worlds by the body of the giant god, and every time it rotates, it seems to contain the possibility of life and death in all worlds.
Even, there was a more terrifying space-time distortion than the previous return of the gods, and the void vision appeared, which made the hearts of all beings watching this scene tremble!
It can be seen that around the giant god, there is a river of cessation formed by the convergence of countless stars and rays, it is born from the light, hovering in the void, this river surrounds the tjin, flashing with brilliant light, and at the end is a dark and hazy, infinite void - the powerhouses of many worlds, all the steel pythons are extremely familiar with this, because this stagnant river of rest, and the endless void, is the core of all worlds, the dwelling place of the steel python, the scene of the 'inner side of the world'!
The endless river of starlight (the past) and the infinite trajectory of nothingness (the future...... This scene, which should only appear in the inner part of the world, has now begun to appear in the void of the multiverse with the will of the giant god - not only that, but above the giant god's head, countless bright stars that echo the light points of the previous gods have also begun to appear one by one, shining with endless brilliance.
"What I'm asking for is an impossible 'change'!"
The voice of the giant god resounded through the void, and it could be seen that the river of stagnation filled with countless memories and countless messages from countless worlds, the long river that had become destined and should not be changed, representing the past, suddenly began to surge - just like before, the endless divine power brilliance returned to the multiverse from the Great Source, this 'river of stagnation' that had been determined a long time ago, so the 'river of stagnation' that had been paused was actually revived for a short moment!
And it is precisely because of the revival of the river of cessation that at the end of this river, in the infinite void, a little incredible light began to appear, this light was faint at first, but it exploded in an instant, endless brilliance - it began to explode, spread, and began to generate countless tributaries, countless forks in that endless nothingness, and its birth gave birth to endless possibilities, infinite 'uncertain'!
"What I'm asking for is that it can't be 'certain'!"
All the inner worlds, all the inner worlds that exist, at the end of the river of rest, the 'nothingness' shrouded in darkness, began to shine gradually, with the same light, echoing the changes that had occurred at the side of the giant god on the other side of the multiverse, they flowed, they shone brightly, illuminating all possible futures.
[In this multiverse, everything is linked to the 'initial fire', since the past happened, it can never be changed, and any existence that intends to rebel against time must face the bombardment from the 'multiverse source' itself - at least, in this multiverse, the truth is like this.] 】
[Therefore, the 'past' cannot be changed, it cannot be repeated when it happens, even if it is resurrected after death, it is only a manifestation of the power of the strong, and it is the gentle side of the extraordinary power, which cannot erase the fact that they 'died once'...... But unlike the past, the future is supposed to be endless. 】
['The future' should be an infinite bifurcation, an infinite road, an incomprehensible number of tributaries, an unimaginable amount of possibilities—how could the end of the river that really, representing the end of the river of cessation of everything that has happened, be an infinite vastness of possibilities, create such a dark nothingness? 】
The answer is very simple.
- Because, in this multiverse, the first is the original 'sage'.
- Because, in this multiverse, the 'sage' who represents the 'future'.
He stopped.
He no longer continued to take a step forward, or even look into the distance, and the Future Sage looked back, and He turned his head to look at the initial light called 'Past and Origin'.
[He is the alpha, he is the omega]
[He is the beginning and symbolizes the end]
[He intends to recreate all things so that all things are under his control]
[To give all things a 'future' that belongs to Him, this is His purpose]
But now, because the 'dead' are 'resurrected', because all the gods who left this multiverse because of the 'god extinction' in the past, because all the gods who were supposed to be isolated from the initial fire, no longer connected with the multiverse, and can no longer affect anything, all the gods that are equivalent to 'extinction' have been resurrected by the [One God], so everything has been changed.
Endless tributaries, enveloped in infinite possibilities, forced their way through the 'Dark Nothingness' along countless forks—one could see that in front of the river of rest, there were unusually bright blazing lights, and their total number was seven, but the first three points of light were no longer bright, as if they had been eroded by the darkness, annihilating the core.
And the mighty flow of light that Joshua set off passed them without stopping, he rushed past the first psionic energy, he crossed the magic of inheritance, and sped past the diffuse life energy—he was still moving on, heading towards his own 'Eternal Node'.
And in the middle of it, a force is rising from nothingness, trying to intercept the flames—from the first nothingness, darkness overflows, obscuring the first light, and after the distant future, chaos swallows up all possibilities, and invades against the current.
Occupying the beginning, the 'Sage Who Opened Up the Future', and the Last, the 'Controller of the Infinite Future', the power that spilled out from both ends of the end was leaping at the same time, and he struck out through the air, as if trying to stop the light—but his volley was unsuccessful.
For there is a great sword that comes down and cuts off the 'past', and a great axe that wields and cuts off the 'future' - they run through the past and the present, cutting off the other, making the 'present' temporarily independent from anything but the 'present', but also the one who wields the sword and axe also severs the connection with his own 'eternal node'.
[Ah......h
There was a long sigh, and it seemed to be a laugh, coming from the other side of the infinite distance, the voice was indescribable, incomprehensible, and every detail of the information contained in it appeared in different regions of the multiverse at the same time, in different time systems, and if you could not perceive the entire multiverse at the same time, you would never be able to understand the full picture of its meaning.
【Is it worth it】
[You return your 'One God Divine Power', revive the gods, and return the multiverse to the 'Age of Many Gods', which allows you to return to nothingness in the endless time with the results of the battle with all the gods in the Great Source - you who hold the 'One God Divine Power' originally had the strength and qualifications to directly participate in the 'Battle of the Sages']
[But you gave up all of them, you gave up the biggest hole card of the 'Eternal Node', and countless chances to do it again, just to break the shackles I laid casually]
Even Joshua looked solemn at this voice, and he silently raised his head and stared into the endless distance.
[The gods after the destruction of the gods are not dead in the true sense, but they are simply merged into the initial fire by being unable to withstand the power of the Great Source. But how great is the binding of the initial fire? They are shrouded by the event horizon of the Great Source, which is naturally equivalent to non-existence]
[Only sage-level strength can break free from the event horizon of the Great Source, but even a sage can't enter the Initial Fire, let alone rescue the gods-otherwise, why do you have to plan all this]
His will, too, spread throughout the multiverse, echoing the 'voice', he chuckled, but the 'infinite' power around him was gradually weakening and fading.
[I spent countless hours defeating all the gods in the Great Source and seizing their divine power, I vetoed the divinity of all the gods, denied their authority, I swept away all the gods, ascended to the one, and became the only master, the only god]
[At that time, I am the divine power, I am the 'god' - I am the embodiment of the infinite divine power derived from the initial fire, the sage of the god - I am originally located inside the initial fire, and I can naturally break free]
[Releasing all the gods and returning all the divine power will indeed make me lose the authority of the 'one god' and split the 'sage of the gods' into all gods...... I have indeed cut off the past and the future, abandoning my 'eternal node', and I can't be 'destined to become a sage', and I will fight you again and again],
- But so what?
"I didn't want anything like it in the first place - I just threw away what I didn't want and went and went on my own path all over again!"
At this moment, the power of the sage was declining, and all the near-sages who were watching felt that the infinite existence had fallen from the far side and returned to the multiverse itself, and his voice was not resounding in diversity, but only his own self-talk.
But before they could understand what this meant, and before they could be shocked and frightened by it, there was a new power, an infinite breath, rising again from that place of decline!
"And for me, '100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,
- As for whether it is worth it or not.
"All salvation, as long as it is hope from the heart, is worth it."
"And the fight I want has nothing to do with the cause and the result."
Becoming a sage, falling down a sage, and finally returning to a sage - in a short period of time, a major event that can be remembered by the entire multiverse has happened several times casually, and even, some dull existences can't sense the thrilling ups and downs of the entire multiverse.
And at this moment, the returning warrior finally had time to look around him, and he could see that his relatives, his friends, his confidants, his partners, all were here, and the connection for which he had fought and died was now alive...... No, there is another one who is not there.
Laughing, Joshua stretched out his hand and pulled the Iron Star Fleet, which had set off 120,000 years ago and had gone too far and too far to arrive now, to his side under their inexplicable gaze—and then he was like this, looking at all his comrades, and the war intent in his heart was spreading endlessly.
- Trying to take away them, trying to take away the existence of hope from the beings of the multiverse.
- No matter who it is, I will not let it go.
"Spirits!"
Surrounded by all, the warrior spoke to all who were present, and in the midst of the cheers of all enough to extinguish the stars, he uttered out his proclamation, which he had shouted countless times, but never tiresome—
"It's time to fight!"
