Holding the fire in his hand, Joshua's red eyes looked directly at the source of this light, and he looked at this faint flame seriously, as if everything in the world was reflected in it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Joshua's body and will, led by this firelight, to the depths of the world.

He originally thought that this was the spontaneous action of the Azure Orb, just like the inheritance mission he had experienced in his previous life, and that the relics of this sage would be tested or tested in some mysterious place, and then give him an advanced inheritance, just like the one in the family cemetery.

But he was wrong.

An endless stream of light, like a river, encircled the warrior's body, leading Joshua across some kind of inexplicable boundary, allowing him to see the 'world'.

Although he said that he was watching, in fact, Joshua was using his spirit to 'feel', and countless information poured directly into the soldier's brain, making him feel how superficial the world he had observed with his eyes in the past, and how complex and wonderful the real world was.

He felt it.

A will.

It is the soul that envelops the whole world, carries the mind of all things, has existed since the heavens and the earth appeared in the void, and will exist forever.

This great mind is leading him along the veins of all things.

The long river of time flows on Joshua's side, and countless ghosts, overlapping each other, constitute a flowing image.

Joshua saw it.

He saw the chaotic veins beneath the earth.

He saw countless veins and rocks that had dried up and decayed, turning into dust.

He saw deep underground, the ruins of cities thousands of years ago and the wreckage of all living beings.

He saw the core of the earth, the black clouds that covered the surface of the earth, and the cold winds that surrounded the seas, and he saw the structure of the world, the blueprint of creation, everything that existed, everything that existed.

He also saw the evil beings that invaded from the void, were deeply rooted in the flesh and blood of the earth, and used strange crystals as tentacles to constantly squirm and expand their territory.

He saw that the veins of chaos had penetrated deep into 'Him' flesh, eroding His core, corrupting the world into a barren world of famine.

Joshua was led here, and he watched it all, and in his eyes there seemed to be a vision of the future.

The world, under the erosion of evil, began to crumble.

Water, dry and condensed, time and space fall into stillness.

The wind, stop flowing, and the magic and elements dissipate.

The earth twisted and collapsed, and the earth and all things were reduced to nothingness.

The fire is completely extinguished, and all existence returns to chaos.

Finally, when the illusion was over, Joshua came to his senses, and he realized that the river of light that had brought him here had come to an end, and the raging stream of light whistling past Joshua's side, but not leading him forward.

Standing in the dark void, Joshua looked up and was greeted by an arch forged by the stars, behind him was the river of time (the past), and in front of him, the infinite nothingness stretched into the distance (the future).

What is this place?

What did I just see?

Joshua couldn't help but be stunned when he came back to his senses, he frowned, and looked around, only to find that the scene around him was constantly changing, as if it was changing with his observations.

"Here, it's the inner side of the world."

As if to hear Joshua's heart, a voice appeared from the void, it was low, a little hoarse, but very gentle, the voice was a little vague at first, but gradually became clear: "And what you saw before is the past of this world, and the future that is coming. ”

Joshua looked around, but didn't notice the person making the sound, but after a while, he noticed that a small dot appeared in the void in the distance.

This little dot was almost invisible like a faint starlight in the sky, but it quickly grew larger, flickered, and finally, under Joshua's shocked gaze, it turned into a huge silver python like a planet, it writhed its body, its steel-like scales rubbed against each other, splashing red firelight, and the silver eyes stared at Joshua with a hint of curiosity.

Looking at this shocking scene, Joshua couldn't help but shake his head and calm himself down.

No matter who the other party is, it does not show malicious intent at this time, and it can communicate, the situation is not bad, the warrior took a light breath, and then said: "Excuse me, where is this?" ”

And you, what are they?

Although it did not speak, the giant python, which was so large that it was impossible to see the end, seemed to know what Joshua was thinking, and it calmly replied, "This is the inner side of the world. ”

"And I am the embodiment of the will of the world in which you live, and you can call me, 'Steelpython Callis.'"

After a moment of silence, Joshua quickly accepted the assumption.

In the fantasy world, there is nothing wrong with the appearance of the incarnation of the will of the world, and there are also true gods in the Mycrof continent, not to mention, it is said that the first god in the world is the world itself, which is not shocking news.

But he still wondered why the Will of the World would appear in front of him—in front of an ordinary warrior who was now only a gold-level.

So Joshua asked directly, "So...... Why did you bring me here? Why are you there? ”

"Because of the tinder."

A low and gentle voice echoed in the void, and the huge steel python slowly circled, he looked at Joshua and the faint light of fire in his hand, and said: "I was originally asleep and was about to die, but it was because I saw the appearance of the fire that I woke up and came here.

"So, you're here because of this kindling?"

Joshua raised the cyan crystal in his hand, the faint light of fire burning slightly in it, his face was calm, and he didn't mind the other party's peeping.

"Not really."

The Cybora was very calm, but what the warrior said was unexpected: "Although awakened by the sudden light, I have no desire for your fire. ”

He stared at Joshua silently, as if he was more interesting than fire, and Steelpython said with interest, "What can you do with your fire?" ”

He had no reason to deceive, but simply stated his thoughts: "My children have all died a long time ago, and their rotten corpses are now in my body, even if you spread the fire and let me continue to live for a hundred thousand years, I will not be able to give birth to a second civilization and ignite my own flame again." ”

Speaking of which, the Steelpython seemed to be laughing at itself.

But hearing this, Joshua felt a little uncomfortable for some reason, and he frowned: "No, if all life is your child, then your child is not all dead. ”

He raised his head, stared at the will of the world like a planet, and said in a deep voice: "Number 3, an artificial intelligence, she also exists, she travels through the barren wilderness for thousands of years, keeping your only remaining fire. ”

“…… Perhaps. “

After a moment of silence, the Steel Python said softly: "If it was a thousand years ago, I would have directly asked for it, if it was hundreds of years ago, I would probably have planned to trade this tinder with you, but now, I will not let you have any losses." ”

He looked into Joshua's gaze and became more and more interested: "Young man, you can have such a quality of order power...... This is the best means of fighting chaos. ”

"I know, you're from another world, but it doesn't matter. You have a lot of questions in your mind...... Just ask, and in return for reawakening, I'll answer your questions. ”

"Evil God."

After thinking for a while, Joshua asked firmly, "The cause of everything is the invasion of evil gods, what is their source and purpose?" ”

The inquiry was issued, but it was not answered immediately, and after a moment of silence, the body of the steel python changed and wriggled in the void, and soon after, the answer was issued.

"Aragami, crystal insect Ulmardeis, child of famine...... Their world began with a fire in the forest, the flames of civilization burned between the swamps and the forests, and as a civilization that had finally developed into the Void civilization after thousands of years, they vowed to pass on their flames to other worlds. ”

"However, just as there are isolated islands in the world, sadly, they have not found any other world in 10,000 years."

"They are located in the ember world of the land without fire, and it is a miracle of miracles that they can develop civilization, but this time, there are no miracles."

When the Steel Python said this, it seemed to have a faint sadness: "Civilization has developed to the limit, all resources have been exhausted, but they still can't find another world in the Star Boundary, civilization has begun to regress, and gradually, they can no longer enter and leave the Star Boundary. ”

"Under the pressure of increasingly scarce resources, they ate their own world—hollowing out the dirt and rocks, literally depleting all matter, hollowing out the earth, carefully using energy, and maintaining the cycle as much as possible until a thousand years, ten thousand years, a sinking eternal catastrophe."

The huge body surrounded the river of time, and the eyes of the steel python looked directly at Joshua who was lost in thought, and his voice was hoarse and low: "At first it was billions, then tens of millions, 100,000, 100,000, 100, 10,000, 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,0 ”

"Until the last man, too, died in endless loneliness and hunger, the fire of their civilization was finally lost of firewood and extinguished in agony and despair."

"And the world, in this desperate agony, is also distorted."

The narrative of the Metal Python is nearing its end.

"The world will also move its own position, and after I don't know how long, a world that has developed magic technology has come into contact with the wreckage of this world with nothing in the endless exploration of the void."

"And the god of sorrow and famine was born."

Karlis's World Will lowered his head and swirled most of his body covered by the void into the air: "As for the purpose of the evil gods, no one knows, but they only bring despair, pain, famine, war, pestilence, and death, there is no doubt about it. ”

He looked into Joshua's eyes and said calmly, "I am Kallis, the Python of Steel." ”

"Descendant of Steel, after learning all this, will you become the guardian of the world, expelling chaos and guarding the frontier of order?"

And Joshua was thinking.

After a moment: "I refuse." ”
