The voice from far away echoed, like the low sound of the evening tide, and the sea of leaves sounded softly, this voice was like a song, reciting poems that no one could know, and the sadness that I didn't know how to sigh.

In the abyss of the Blood Moon, an indescribable sound pierced the barrier of the world, and Joshua and the light turned their heads in unison, looking in the direction it came from.

That was where the McCrof world was located, and it was from there that the voice came from, in the blood moon, the huge light figure tilted its head slightly, he blinked suspiciously, and in the warrior's arms, the little light jingled incomprehensibly, it heard the voice, but it didn't know what it was talking about, but the tone was very familiar and kind, like an elder from afar, telling something.

Not only the Blood Moon Abyss, but also the legendary powerhouses fighting in other worlds, the old pope and the dragon god who were facing each other in the void, and even the gods in the Boundless Heaven Realm all heard this song-like sound, and none of them could understand the meaning, they could only feel that the voice seemed to be lamenting, feeling that something had passed away, only the sage of the East China Sea, Faina, was slightly stunned, and in her ears, the kind voice transformed into some kind of call, as if a mother was calling for a child.

At the end of the Mycrof world, beyond the far sea, outside the temple of the earth, the old priest who was sweeping the dust on the ground in front of the huge rock temple was holding the handle of the broom, and he was stunned, he heard many, far more words than others, he heard laments, exhortations, calls, mockery of self and desperate longings, he suddenly thought of something, and immediately turned his head to look at the temple of the goddess of the earth, but the temple did not shine, the idol of the goddess was silent, and the gods behind him had completely left not long ago, thinking of this, The old priest smiled wryly, put down the broom in his hand, knelt down respectfully before the temple, and began to pray.

Joshua landed slowly, he stood on the continent he had just shaped, his brows furrowed as he looked at the seal of the Church of the Seven Gods that was isolated from the Blood Moon Abyss, he was silent for a while, and said, "Can you hear me, Light?" ”

"Jingle bells."

The ball of light expanded and shrunk again, and Joshua nodded, his face still full of doubts: "I can hear it, but I can't understand it...... Sure enough, but why? ”

In contrast to the confusion of the others, Joshua was not puzzled by the difficulty of the voice, but by the fact that the warrior's brow was furrowed because in his ears all the incomprehensible tones and notes were naturally transformed into words that he could understand: he could not only hear, but also easily understand.

It was an indescribable voice, waking up from a dream, lamenting the passing of a bygone era, urging all beings to be careful, its voice full of self-deprecation and regret, and calling out the names of its children in turn—the names were obscure, like the gods and names of antiquity, but there was one Joshua who was especially familiar with it, because it was the name of Mother Earth.

Beyond that, it was desperately thirsting, longing for someone to come, and the voice used its last ounce of strength to call out to the entire multiverse, but no one responded...... Hearing this call, Joshua suddenly felt something awaken in his body, and a warm feeling was spreading.

The warrior was stunned for a moment, he was very familiar with what this feeling was, it was derived from the Azure Orb, the power of the sage's inheritance, the spiral crown mark that burned with flames began to appear on Joshua's forehead, and involuntarily, he entered the state of the Soul Burning King, and the sparks drifted away with the wind, making the surrounding flowers and plants and the tree of life grow more and more luxuriantly.

It is calling on the sages...... It's calling me.

In a blink of an eye, Joshua already knew the answer to the question—as for the question of 'why me', the warrior didn't think about it anymore, but rather, why not him? He is the inheritor of the sage, the king of the burning soul, the savior of the world that rekindles the flames, he is the legend of the destiny, Joshua doesn't think there is anything strange about this, the strong should be a vortex, taking all cause and effect into his arms, the only thing that makes him wonder is, why does the owner of this voice, why does the will of the world, Fullmetal Python Microf, call the sage and him in such a tone?

The sages have sealed the will of the world, shouldn't they be mortal enemies?

Yes, Joshua could be sure that it was the voice of the will of the world, just as the first horn was the same as what he had heard at the beginning, without the slightest difference in sound, and the warrior could be one hundred percent sure of that.

"The wail before being sealed? Or did it finally wake up for a moment before it fell into eternal sleep? ”

Joshua had all sorts of speculations surging in his mind, but he had already made a decision in his heart - no matter what, as an existence that witnessed the rise and fall of the entire Age of Glory, and as the existence of the former master of this world, the call of the Cybora Microf could not be just an ordinary howl or a dying struggle, and even so, as the mother of all things, humanity should listen to the last words of this great one, which is the minimum respect.

Thinking of this, Joshua began to take a step, soaring into the air, and flew towards the seal of the Church of the Seven Gods separating the two worlds, Xiaoguang was held in his arms, making a rapid jingle sound, it was asking the warrior what he was going to do, to which Joshua replied rather casually, "I don't know." ”

"That's why I'm going."

With this emotion in mind, Joshua came to the rift in time and space that once linked the two worlds, and the current Church of the Seven Gods was sealed. He stretched out his hand, silver light flashed against the holy light, as a person who can directly connect with the will of the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice Field, Joshua is the only existence that can freely enter and exit all the worlds that are regarded as traps, the original plan, he will deal with his own opponent with the help of light, and go directly to other worlds to assist the legendary powerhouses of other Mycrof worlds to eliminate all foreign invaders.

But now, according to the feedback sent by the will of the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice Ground, Joshua found that the legendary powerhouse of the Mycrof world was not at a disadvantage, and the natural mentor was even chatting with the unknown giant beast, plus a total of three legends came to the world where the warrior was, so that the pressure on the others was greatly reduced, and the old Pope also merged with the Holy Mountain Battleship and steadily blocked the attack of the five-colored dragon god, the situation was very good, and he didn't need to save the field.

Therefore, under the erosion of the power of steel, a small hole appeared in the holy seal that was large enough for one person to pass through, and Joshua simply passed through the rift in time and space, returning to the Mycrof continent.

And at the moment when the warrior stepped into this world and came to the sea area of the Abyss of Anos, suddenly, a great earthquake trembled, the sea churned, and all the legendary powerhouses who were suppressing the will of the world at the seal suddenly felt that their hands were loosened, and they found that the steel python that was trying to resist and wanted to overturn the seal suddenly stopped resisting, and this too strong contrast even made them almost fail to grasp the power of suppression-and at the same time, Joshua sensed that there was an unusually large will at the cost of not being able to resist the seal again, Forced in front of him.

The will of the world chose to give up resistance, and the Sword Saint who was guiding the Boundless Heaven Realm to fall felt that the pressure on him was much lighter, but the many rune arrays that were originally used for suppression, sealing, and confrontation also lost their effect, and at this price, the Steel Python who gave up everything will gain a short period of freedom before the self-regulation of the sealing circle is completed.

And at this time, Joshua was following the entire natural energy cycle with that huge will, and entered the inner side of the world he was familiar with.

The world inhabited by the Steelpython.

Joshua had been here several times—whether it was Karliss or the stars, whether it was Ilgena or Grandia, he had witnessed the will of the plurality of worlds and had a great conversation with them here, but Microf, the inner part of the world in which the warrior lived, he had never seen before, had come.

At this moment, Joshua looked up at the vast star dome above him, and he saw the starry sky that should have been incomparably bright shimmering with a dim and mottled light, and then, the warrior lowered his head, and he saw that the dark gray mixed with the black land around him was vast but lifeless.

On both sides of Joshua, the two rivers of time, which symbolize the past, and the future, are flooded with muddy and filthy blisters, and the black, red and brown light flickers in the river, and the breath of dead silence and chaos comes from it, implying that the end is coming.

The warrior watched the two rivers in silence, and looked ahead in the direction and origin of their flow—and then Joshua saw a pitch-black python coiling in front of him, staring at him with eyes that shimmered crimson.

Gray particles filled the atmosphere, obscuring the light like a haze, invading the earth, and most of the body of the steel python Microf was obscured by this thick fog, and its original silver body was now full of black traces of decay, like rust and dirt, making it completely black.

At this time, the Steel Python looked at Joshua who had followed it into the world with disappointed eyes, and after a long time, it said softly, "You are not him...... You are not a sage, you are only His successor. ”

"Is He gone, or is he gone?"

The hoarse female voice came from the mouth of the giant python, and she could feel the incomparable exhaustion of the other party, Joshua looked up at this giant python that reached the sky and the earth - it was far greater than the will of any world, only the will of the star sea of the world could barely match, the steel python Microf had a dim galaxy above his head, and his body was coiled together, like a black mountain range across the sea of stars, it occupied one-third of the entire inner side of the world, and the entire space seemed to be narrowed and suffocating because of this.

In response to Steelpython's inquiry, Joshua nodded and said calmly, "He left and went to the depths of the multiverse to find answers to order and chaos. ”

"Yes, he's gone......" Hearing Joshua's answer, the black steel python slowly muttered to itself, its tone could not hear disappointment, not even resentment, and the will of the world sighed: "Sure enough, we failed in the end." ”

Just as the Steel Python said this, the little light in Joshua's arms suddenly shook uncomfortably - it was also carried into the inner world by the warrior - now, the little light looked very uncomfortable, and the steel python McCrove lowered his head slightly, and it looked at the ball of light with considerable interest: "A child of the will of the nascent world...... You actually have it with you? The sages and His descendants have always been so strange. ”

"Inheritor, help it fend off the chaos around it."

Joshua waited for the steel python to finish speaking, he keenly discovered the confused chaotic power in the whole world, and at the moment when the other party saw the opening, he had already created a shield of steel power for Xiaoguang, and by the time Microf finished speaking, the warrior had already raised his head, facing the huge python that seemed to be able to crush itself at any time, Joshua still frowned, and then asked aloud: "The will of the world, the mother of all things—aren't you hostile to the gods and sages because of the fall of the goddess of the earth?" It is because you want to destroy the world that we have sealed you away. ”

"Why don't you have the slightest hatred when you mention the sage at this time, and you don't have the slightest willingness to make a move in the face of me, the inheritor of the sage?"

This is exactly the question that Joshua wants to ask most at this time - before returning to the Mycrof world, he is ready to join forces with many legends to fight against the will of the world and finally fight back, even if he is pulled into the inner world, he is not surprised, because this is also within the scope of Joshua's prediction, only the attitude of the other party is incomprehensible to the warrior: the Cybora should show its anger, it should curse humanity and all living beings like those memory fragments, it should be the same as before, even if it is silent, but also call for powerful enemies in the multiverse to come and destroy the Mycrof civilization.

It was precisely because of such a contradictory before and after comparison that he asked straightforwardly, without the slightest tactfulness or hesitation.

"You mean, I'm crazy...... Oh, it's a crazy action indeed, and under the influence of chaos, I'm no longer me. ”

In response to Joshua's inquiry, the huge steel python raised its head, the dim and mottled starry sky above its head, and there was a black aura spreading in its dark red eyes, and McCrof was silent for a while, as if it was recalling the past, thinking about its thoughts at the time, and only after more than ten seconds did it reply in a faint voice: "Although it is difficult for you latecomers to understand, at that time, the sage and I just wanted to do an experiment. ”

"Experiments?"

Joshua subconsciously repeated this sentence, because he had a hunch that he was about to get a subversive answer, he couldn't help but take a step forward and asked again, "What experiment?" ”

"Yes, experiments."

The huge black python closed its eyes, and it said in a faint and incomprehensible tone: "An experiment on how to 'transform chaos'. ”

Along with the calm narration of Steelpython Microf, the other side of history hidden in the darkness is slowly revealed.

A thousand years ago, after the final battle, when the sky crumbled, the continent sank, the world of Mycrove was torn apart, both the heavens and the earth and the oceans were plunged into indescribable chaos, after defeating all the enemies, the tired gods looked helplessly at their homeland on the verge of destruction, they were helpless about it, some wanted to leave, some wanted to stay, and with the silent support of the sages, the gods decided to stay and slowly restore their homeland.

It was then that the sage traveled to the inner part of the world, where he found the Cypon Python, who had just awakened from its slumber, and discussed with him questions about the future of the world.

"At that time, the sage looked confused, and he seemed to ask me questions, as if he were talking to himself...... He said that we cannot be ignorant of chaos, and that we must know our worst enemy. ”

McCroft said, his tone as calm as it was about the sages and himself, and only when he pronounced the word chaos did there be a subtle fluctuation: "We have fought countless evil gods, but we have not been able to find out why they came into being...... We know that evil gods come from chaos, and they are the wreckage of a world after its destruction, but why did the wreckage of the world become evil gods? And what power do they gain from the destruction of the world? We don't know anything about it. ”

Steelpython Microf's voice was hoarse, as if it were a lady who had been seriously ill for a long time, but its words were not weak, but rather powerful, and at this time the will of the world seemed to be repeating the words of the sage, and it asked one after another, "How can we understand the origin of the evil gods?" Can evil gods be artificially created? If so, can we reverse the attitude of the evil gods and bring them back into order? ”

"Chaos and order are like two opposite poles, one end is darkness, the other end is fire, one end is ignited and becomes the fire of a new order, and the other end is gradually extinguished and returns to disordered chaos - the cycle of the multiverse is like this, can we reproduce this process, the artificial transformation of order and chaos?"

In the cross-questioning of the Steel Python again and again, the images of the past seem to have a new interpretation - the sage and McCrof launched a discussion on order and chaos in the depths of the inner world, they want to explore the principle, find the inner connection and context between the two, until finally, the dying Steel Python and the sage decide to use themselves as a test to make an attempt, it will try to transform chaos and rely on its own power to achieve the cycle between the two.

This is the only way to save the world, if you don't do this, even if Mother Earth and other gods sacrifice, it will only delay the arrival of destruction, because they themselves are only a part of the world, their sacrifice is equivalent to tearing down the east wall to make up the west wall, and only by channeling new external forces can the wounds suffered by the Microf world be completely repaired.

"That means that back then, you and the sages decided together?"

Hearing this, Joshua showed a hint of shock on his face, and he asked suspiciously, "But why...... Why did it end up like that? ”

"Because I haven't carried the erosion of chaos."

The huge black python whispered, and when it said this, its red eyes flashed with an indescribable light: "I'm crazy. ”

When the experiment failed, the flames were extinguished, and everything fell into an irretrievable abyss, and the bold actions of the Steel Python and the sages caused deep trauma to the world, and the tide of chaos almost swept the continents and oceans - fortunately, the goddess of the earth discovered this for the first time and stopped all the tides of chaos, otherwise the Mycrof civilization would have fallen a thousand years ago, and there was no possibility of any continuation.

And then, the mad Metal Python almost became an evil god - perhaps the first evil god created by civilization and the world itself in the entire multiverse - at that time, it cursed everything, cursed itself, cursed everything it could, and was finally suppressed by the weary sages and gods in the core of the world, affected by Chaos, and the unsuspecting gods also fell into the civil strife of Chaos, they waged war against each other, and countless gods who should have survived fell as a result, announcing the end of the Glorious Age.

However, because of this, because the gods have passed away, the divine power of order has overflowed on the earth, and the world that was on the verge of death has regained some vitality, and the faint flame burns the chaos that permeates the entire continent, continuing the undetectable light of order, and the protected races have opened the door of the sanctuary when all the chaos has disappeared after three hundred years, and returned to this reborn, but still fragile world.

Joshua listened silently as the Steel Python recounted everything in the past, he did not comment, and it was not until the other party stopped narrating that the warrior exhaled and said slowly, "I see...... This may indeed be the other side of history, but why, Mother of All Things, did you suddenly wake up from the madness of chaos? Why do you want to see the sage again, calling on Him and His heirs? ”

The Steel Python didn't answer Joshua's question, it just watched the warrior quietly, the dark scales on its body flashed with wisps of holy light, and soon, Joshua understood why.

It's a seal, derived from many of Microf's legends and the seals of the gods.

From the boundless heavens, the divine power of the new gods of the Starfall Era gathered, pressed from the outside of the world, the power of the gods under the guidance of the legend that guarded the four directions, directly hit the seal of the steel python, extremely strong, the holy light from the sages illuminated all darkness, on the eve of being completely sealed, the will of the world that fell into chaos awakened from its foolishness, it regained its wisdom and reason, and at the last moment of its life, it chose to find the sages and his successors.

As for why you should look for a sage, why you should look for a successor of a sage, the answer is simple.

"I warn the sages not to try to harness the power of Chaos...... It is something that cannot be grasped by reason and wisdom, it can only be burned by fire and then turned into embers of steel, and all other ways of using it are wrong, and no rational being can resist the erosion of chaos, which is the erosion that comes from the source of existence. ”

Lowering its head, the huge black steel python looked at Joshua, and there was a chaotic aura of dead decay on its body, and the rich and incomparably fishy rust smell spread in the inner side of the world, and the will of the world paused, and then said softly in a tired and self-deprecating tone: "Those who die should die, and those who die should be destroyed, and those who come from dust return to dust, and all things come from the embers, and they will return to the embers...... I should have died a thousand years ago, and if it weren't for saving me, nothing would have happened. ”

"The world doesn't need a will, just as you, like everything today, can thrive without me—if only I had chosen to die sooner."

The voice of the will of the world became smaller and smaller, it was silent, looking up at the already dim dome of the sea of stars, and the decaying and depraved scenery inside the world confirmed its words - even the will of the world could not resist the erosion of chaos, just like the purest pure water, it could not still be pure water after a drop of ink, and this is the relationship between order and chaos.

"You have a point...... It can also explain a lot of doubts, but you still have to be sealed, which is something that cannot be changed. ”

The Steel Python fell into a deep emotion towards himself, but when he heard these words, Joshua was not touched at all, he held the small light protected by the shield of the power of steel in his arms, and his face was as calm as usual - Joshua slowly shook his head at the giant python that crossed the sea of stars: "We can't believe you, Mother of All Things, you have been infected by chaos once, crazy once, who knows what will happen this time?" ”

The warrior's words were merciless, he was not the kind of person who would be moved by listening to a story, indeed, what the Cyanoconda said might be true, but so what? The Age of Glory is over, the gods will never give up their seal on it, the world's greatest unstable element, and the will of the world is destined to leave the stage of the Microf world.

"It's okay, I never said let you give up the seal."

However, in response to Joshua's straightforward suspicions, the Steel Python did not show any anger, it looked at the warrior, and even smiled with satisfaction, and the red light flashing in its eyes was much brighter. The will of the world bowed its head and said gently, "I don't need your faith, child. ”

Steel Python Microf stretched his body, its body was huge, but every inch was infected by chaos into a deep black, the original steel python's silver-white body was neat and clean, they should be the last existence in this world to be eroded by chaos, but because of the events of a thousand years ago, it was polluted earlier than its own people - the will of the world looked around the world, its eyes seemed to be able to see through the dark space, see the current Microf world.

Looking at the world, the Steel Python whispered, "The reason why I struggled to wake up at the last moment was not to justify my mistakes...... I just want to tell you how many ravines and hardships we have traversed, how many walls and obstacles we have broken down – just to tell you how much blood and sacrifice your ancestors have paid to get this simple result, and how you live now and in the future. ”

"Children, do not believe, sympathize, have mercy on any chaos, walk ye in the light of the flame and walk ye on the right path...... I don't know if there's anything wrong with your current path, but go as far as you can, just remember that don't go down our old path, it's a dead end with no exit, and we've verified it with our lives. ”

With the completion of the reconstruction of the rune circle at the distant seal, the chaotic aura on the steel python's body became thicker and thicker, and the holy light began to wash the seal again, causing the inner side of the world to gradually crumble, this ancient space that had existed since the beginning of the world and the will of the world gradually became flattened under the impact of the holy light, and the power from the holy sword Misterine turned everything into a pure two-dimensional - eroded by this power, the steel python was stretched little by little, and finally, only an inaudible murmur could be heard.

"Goodbye, kid."

The seal descended again, and the dark inner world disappeared silently.

Above the sky, half of the sky is raised, and it can be seen, as if the endless holy light spreads along the veins above the world, a huge and incomparable plane is completely integrated into the Mycrof world, it is suspended directly above the western mountain range, and a pillar of holy light connects it with the earth, because of its existence, the chant and prayer accompanied by the white light and wind to the whole world, today is destined to be remembered in the annals of history, because the gods will walk in the world, because the heavenly realm will descend again to the mortal world.

And under this heavenly realm, the former mother of all things has fallen into complete silence, it no longer resists, and accepts its end, the seal is reinforced layer after layer, and the steel python Microf will fall into the hell called the plane, to pay for the sins of a thousand years ago.

In the seventh abyss, the Aether Dragon let out a roar of dissatisfaction, and after sensing that the blockade of the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrifice Ground was gone, it ignored the pursuit of the sage behind it, and directly penetrated the void and left the abyss, leaving Faina in place, still a little stunned in its heart, and a burning sea of boiling lava, returning to its comfortable lair.

In the dead world, the dwarven craftsman walked out of the fused mountain range, he frowned, looking at the huge void below the world, which penetrated the world - Leviathan was suppressed by the iron giant he summoned, but after the blockade of the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice Ground was lifted, the void beast directly penetrated the mantle and fled back to the void from the other side of the world, the old dwarf scratched his head in distress, and finally chose to sit on the top of the mountain peak to rest.

In the natural realm, Garanord and the mountain beast silently looked in the direction of the Microf world, there was no fight between the two, they quietly felt the fluctuations of the holy light from afar, the natural mentor's face was calm, but he didn't know what was in his heart.

In the void, the five-colored dragon god has long left, and after determining that he cannot break through the blockade of Eagle and the Holy Mountain battleship, this god can only choose to retreat - and this retreat, perhaps forever, solves the biggest hidden danger, and the gods who are free will not leave any foreign enemy a chance, as long as the five-colored dragon god who has long been blacklisted dares to appear again, what awaits him is the siege of the seven gods.

The four directions of the Mycrove continent, the location of the seal of the will of the world, many legendary powerhouses breathed a sigh of relief, this time the action mobilized the power of the entire world, it seems simple, in fact, every link can not be wrong - the space-time teleportation of the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice Ground must be effective, Eagle must be able to stop the five-colored dragon god, and the legendary powerhouse that intercepts must block every enemy...... Beyond this space-time realm, there are other legends patrolling, vigilantly monitoring every detail of the plane, so that no civilization or existence that tries to take advantage of it will succeed.

Above the waters of the Abyss of Anos, Joshua slowly landed on the surface of the sea, because he controlled his mass and magnetic field, so the sea did not set off waves comparable to a tsunami, and the warrior held a small light in his arms, and he looked around at the vast sea - the sky was cloudless, the sunlight was refracted by the dust in the air, turning into a blue color, and the sea reflected the color of the sky, and the pure sea breeze blew, making the world clear.

Silent, Joshua had nothing to say, and there was no need to say anything, he lowered his head and looked at the crust deep under the sea, looking at the mantle beneath the earth's crust, the warrior's gaze penetrated everything and looked at the center of the earth's center, where a holy light flickered, and the holy light of the boundless heavenly realm once again turned into an eternal seal, if nothing else, even after ten thousand years, this light still exists.

[I'm not trying to justify my mistakes...... I just want to tell you how many ravines and hardships we have had, how many walls and obstacles we have broken down – just to tell you how much blood and sacrifice your ancestors have put to get to where we are today. 】

It's over. Joshua thought so.

The poison of chaos and the will of the world are sealed here, the vanishing past and dark history are buried to the deepest, the Starfall Era buries the last wreckage of the Glorious Age, and Mrs. McCro looks up at the stars, their predecessors have endured hardships and ill-fated lives, and they are not too much to let go - the tide of demons sweeps through the stars, the stars dim, and evil is coming.

But even so, even if the end is approaching, the road ahead is already a twisted vortex, no one will choose to stop, with the last existence of the Glorious Era being sealed forever, the Starfall Era is finally able to look into the future after unloading the burden of the past - the time has come to open up the distant starry sky, and after the biggest hidden danger is solved, everyone can let go and show their skills.

Joshua could foresee this, and the warriors had already seen the day when the Microf civilization would return to its glory...... Because of sacrifice, because it never stops, the outer side of the world, the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice Ground revolves around the Microf world, which has never changed for thousands of years, the stars rotate and replace, the flames are extinguished and rekindled, and the long river of fate has gone to another unprecedented trajectory.

It happens naturally, just as night falls and the sun sets.

The rebirth and inheritance of civilization is exactly like this, the glorious era is completely over, and the starfall era is out of the haze of its predecessors.

Everything is as it should be, just as the night has passed and the sun has risen.

Joshua looked at the newborn sun, and the small light in his arms jumped out, wafting happily in the sea breeze.

It's time to look into the distance and into the future.

—Vol. 12, The End of the Great Pioneering Era
