Chapter 14: The Whereabouts of the Sages
Ever since he learned that there was historical information about the Shining Age on the Mycrof Continent, Joshua had been wondering.
At the end of the Glorious Age thousands of years ago, because of the arrogance of the Microf world civilization, they opened the time and space passage to the abyss of all worlds, and countless demons and evil gods who came from the inquiry launched a war against the civilization that was in its heyday at that time, and in the end of this final battle, it was the sages who led the gods and sages to pay a great price and defeat all enemies.
The vast majority of the gods, almost all of the main gods, died in that battle or suffered incurable serious injuries, leaving behind the inheritance runes and the last trace of divine power, leaving their souls into a mist of divine mist and pinning their hopes on the boundless heavenly realm.
But the sage was clearly not seriously injured - he even had the energy to separate a portion of his power and use it to create four inheritances to find his heir.
There is no doubt that whether it is the Azure Orb, the Pure White Staff, the Order Twin Blades or the Origin Robes, they are all incomparably powerful, even if they are incomparable to the artifacts, they are equipped with holy weapons, and their successive generations are not weak hands, plus a trace of the will of the sages in the deepest part of these inheritance relics, even if the gods want to forcibly snatch it, it is estimated that it will not be pleased.
But no matter how powerful the inheritance is, no matter how amazing the heirs are, they still don't know how many grades they want to compare with the sages, if the sages are here in person, the situation in the Mycrof world will never be reduced to the point where the old pope is so anxious that he is ready to burn himself to maintain his existence, and those abyssal lords of the abyss are afraid that they will go around the Microf world, how far they can run, let alone launch a war invasion.
"Where are the sages? Do you want to know the truth about this? β
Hearing the warrior's question, Xing Zheng was stunned for a moment, this god who had always behaved extremely majestic, so that it was not at all like a god with feelings, showed a clear expression for the first time, the corners of the god of power's mouth raised, revealing a faint bitter smile, he raised his head, as if talking to himself, and said: "The answer to this question, we also want to know." β
This answer undoubtedly surprised Joshua, and Xingzheng didn't care about the warrior's rare surprised expression, but continued to say in a tone with a hint of self-deprecation: "The seven gods, including me, and even all the gods that exist in the world of the Mycrof Continent, have a long lack of memory - it's funny to say, the gods don't even know when they became gods, and when we wake up, we are already gods, as if we have been arranged for a long time. β
"The Lost Three Hundred Years."
Hearing this, the warrior frowned, and he said with a headache: "I didn't expect it to be the same for the gods......
"Three hundred years lost? This statement is good, and it is indeed a mistake of about 300 years. β
The god of power nodded, he agreed with Joshua's statement, and Xingzheng continued to reply, "Through the records of ancient books, we know that the sages once led the gods to repel the evil that came from all over the multiverse at the end of the last era. But from the end of this period of history, until the beginning of the starfall era, 'we' woke up at the dawn of a time, and there was a gap of nearly three hundred years in between, there were no classics, and anyone who had the memories and records of that time, that period of time seemed to be erased, swallowed up, and completely did not exist in this world. β
"As painful as it is, we feel like we're nothing more than devices that are scheduled to be turned on, awakened at a predetermined time, and then fulfill our duty to protect civilization and our own race. As for the blank time before. β
He said, "We only know that it does not exist, and we know nothing else." β
It sounds like a bad joke, but no one laughs at it, because there is a truth that they all want to know, the warrior wants to know the whereabouts and purpose of the sages, and the seven gods want to know their origins.
Joshua rubbed his temples with some distress, and on his side, the expressions of the Shenji siblings were also very distressed because they didn't understand at all, although the reasons were different, the expressions of the three masters and servants reached a synchronization at this moment.
And at this moment, Xingzheng's voice appeared again.
"However, after years of exploration, we have a guess about the whereabouts of the sage."
The god of power, who was a serious man with gray hair in human form, took a deep look at Joshua, and said in an unexpectedly serious tone, "If you really want to know, Joshua van Radcliffe, then follow me." β
"Okay."
The warrior agreed without hesitation.
Both of them were decisive enough to exist a little excessively, and a consensus was reached in an instant, and as a result, the dark god illusion shattered in the next moment.
Outside, around the Divine Mist, the space dominated by divine power began to operate, and the stagnant time flowed again.
For the whole world, the long communication between Joshua and Xingzheng in the Divine Illusion Realm only happened for a short moment in a tenth of a second, and for the adventurer mercenaries who were hurriedly escaping from the Divine Mist, this was the situation - at the moment when their minds could not function, the silver mist that originally seemed to explode suddenly fell silent, and the cyan blue light gathered in the center seemed to be just an illusion, and everything returned to the way it was a few minutes ago.
Everyone stopped fleeing, looking at each other suspiciously, not knowing what the situation was, only the extreme dragon Sukrash vaguely sensed that something was wrong, the blue dragon frowned, staring at the sky, it seemed to see two rays of light break through the sky and go to the distant outer void.
In the void.
The frenzy of violent energy brought by the Great Demon Tide is surging in the void, and the worlds are connected because of this surging energy tide, but they can't communicate with each other because of the temporary chaos of time and space, and the multiverse at this time is like a galaxy in the white nebula, and the bright lights representing the world are flickering in the Demon Tide, proving their existence.
Standing in the void, Joshua felt the surge of energy, as if the tide-like demon tide radiation had not been filtered by the world barrier, and directly hit his body, but this was comparable to the energy impact of a series of extreme will-level large-scale spells not only did not cause damage to the warrior, but was all used by him, incorporated into his body, and accelerated the transformation of his own steel power.
If the cultivation of transcendent power is like hatching an unshaped egg into the most powerful form that suits oneself most appropriately, then the Heavenly Mandate Legendary Realm means that this cultivator has completely mastered his own life and destiny, completely incubated himself, and sublimated himself into a higher-level life form. Therefore, the true form of every legend is the optimal imagination of a strong man about his own strength, his own energy system, his own future, goals and ideals.
Just like a nature mentor, her goal is to become a new father of nature, so her legendary true body is the entire natural ecosystem around the Eternal Thousand Islands Lake, and Eagle fulfills the path of holy light, so his legendary true body is the mysterious light wave life, each legend has a special form, that is, their strongest power display.
And Joshua's legendary true body is also a kind of conception of 'powerful', although it is not completely perfect due to the lack of steel power, but it can also be expressed now.
- What is the closest thing to the definition of power and immortality in the universe of all worlds?
- The answer is the stars.
Under the continuous impact of the Great Demon Tide's energy, the surface of the warrior's body flashed with a layer of wonderful brilliance, he released the shackles of his own strength, and suddenly the huge gravitational pull of the surrounding time and space, and even caused a large amount of energy torrents brought by the Demon Tide to begin to rotate around Joshua's body, forming a large accretion disk.
The brilliance of the surface of his skin is incomparably similar to the form formed by the collapse of endless matter after a star has burned for billions of billions of yearsβa structure similar to the material of a white dwarf, a massive mass that slows the warrior's self-evolution, but is so strong that even the demon tide cannot affect the defenses that even the gods are looking at.
At this time, the god of power and justice has abandoned the human form used to communicate with humans, and has returned to his true form - a circle of black rings that are constantly rotating, that is, his holy emblem in the human world, this god after observing Joshua's body for a while, he used his divine power to resonate and communicate in the void: "Look. β
As he spoke, the ring-shaped emblem spun in a circle, and a formless and colorless divine light full of 'domination' and 'holiness' flew into the void.
And the next moment, around the Mycrof world, countless stars symbolizing the world began to shine as if they had been activated.
"Look, Joshua."
Xing Zheng said this, although he had no body and expression at this time, but the divine power communication could not be disguised, so the warrior could feel the deep emotion in the heart of this powerful god: "These stars. β
When Joshua looked up at the stars, Xing Zheng said slowly in a solemn tone: "Through the study of the pure white staff, we have obtained the breath of the sage, and those flickering stars in the void are the world where the sage once went and left the breath, and those rays are the 'footprints' activated by the divine power. β
"What?"
Hearing this, even if he was as calm as a warrior, he couldn't help but subconsciously ask a rhetorical question, Joshua looked up at the void with some shock, the sea of the multiverse is vast, and the world of stars is as magnificent as a dream in the light and mist of the Great Demon Tide, but in this magnificent galaxy area visible to the naked eye, nearly one-tenth of the stars began to flicker.
These stars, which symbolize the world, shine brightly, implying that the sages have been to that world, and a tenth of the stars in the sky form a long road to the other side of the multiverse, with no end in sight.
Judging from the clues pointed out by Xingzheng, there is no doubt that the sage left the Mycrof continent more than a thousand years ago and went to an unknown distance.
"The gods don't know where the sage is going, but there is no doubt that he is not dead, and the existence of that level can almost be called immortal, even the evil gods can't damage him in the slightest."
Xing Zheng said this, and his tone returned to lightness: "Joshua, I have broken the oath of 'gods shall not directly interfere in the world' by lowering my clone this time and coming to the world of Mycrof, and the reason why I want to keep the inheritance runes of Sinur from being destroyed is also because of you." β
The huge black ring slowly rotated, and the words of the gods came from the spirit world: "We believe that in the Mycrof continent, there must be information about the lost three hundred years, it may be in the ruins of the Central Black Forest, or in some unknown text, we hope that you can help us find it, which probably contains the deepest secrets of this world, and may also have the reason why the sages left this world." β
"Is this a mission?"
Hearing this, Joshua replied.
"Nope."
The god said, "This is advice. β
"So." Raising his right hand, the warrior stared at the glittering sheen of his skin, and he nodded slightly, "Yes." β
β¦β¦
And just as the warriors were preparing to return to the world of Microf.
In the black ring representing Xingzheng, there was another burst of spiritual communication.
"Joshua."
Before leaving, the god of power said slowly, "You are one of the best warriors in the world, but I want you to know one thing. β
"What's the matter?" Joshua asked a little strangely.
"Don't have pity."
There was silence for a long time, as if thinking about words, but in the end, the god of power and justice used the simplest words: "Because the enemies of order are not only chaos and evil gods. β
Word for word, He said, "There is another order. β
