The coming of death is like the rain of winter, the cold paralyzes the senses, makes the body stiff and heavy, and finally the consciousness is like a piece of iron, and it quickly falls into the abyss. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Joshua calmly felt the heaviest and strongest vertigo and sleep, and he watched as the flame of his life was extinguished little by little, and the endless memory picture appeared in front of his eyes.

But he actively snuffed out the replay of his memories, and continued to perceive the taste of contact with death.

With his eyes burned out and all his nerves charred, all the usual senses were gone—sounds, smells, touches, images, everything was long gone, but this state made it easy for the warrior to perceive things that he would not normally perceive.

Joshua could see that all he had left was a burning soul that shimmered in the darkness.

Under the light of this mass of souls, the warrior vaguely saw and heard something.

"It doesn't work! The Light can regenerate flesh and blood, but ......"

The urgent apprehension of a kind old lady.

"Pure life energy is needed at this time......"

An old man's calm narration.

The perception of the soul state is rapidly expanding, Joshua can already perceive that there are four extremely strong people on his side, they are using the incomparably strong holy light to maintain the vitality of their physical body, Joshua can perceive that the body that is placed in the center of this solemn hall is his own body, and he is observing himself from the perspective of a third person at this time.

On the other side of the main hall, the silver-haired girl and the black-haired boy had water in the corners of their eyes, and they seemed to want to come to his side, but they were stopped by the heavy-faced Lolanda, and in the corridor not far away, there was the rapid pace of the black dragon girl and the heavy footsteps of the first number.

Matter cannot block the soldier's vision, as long as he wants, his vision can penetrate these ordinary stones and trees at any time, and see the scenery hundreds of meters, thousands of meters away.

It turns out that this is the perception of the soul.

Joshua's heart froze. Is this the perspective of the ghosts, it is really strange, and it is very different from what I imagined.

Death did not cause the warrior the slightest fear, as if it were not born in his soul.

It's a novelty. Joshua thought so, the powerful soul rippled invisibly in the main hall, but everyone present did not notice it, the god machine sister and brother were praying for the blessing of the warrior, the extremely strong were healing the warrior's wounds, the battle on the distant surface had stopped, the heavy rain of lava had stopped, and the battle on the holy mountain had come to an end for the time being.

Joshua felt that he was in this state, but he could actually speak, just like those ghosts in legends. It wasn't difficult, it only needed a little preparation, and just as he was about to try to do so, to greet Ying and Rin, a powerful and holy energy fluctuation came from the other side of the main hall.

Pope Eagle and a lady with a natural scent are projected here. The old Pope first stared at Joshua's body in the center of the hall with great caution, but then, as if sensing something, he began to look around the hall.

Of course, His Majesty the Pope quickly saw Joshua on the side, and at this time, Joshua's soul had gradually changed into what he was when he was human, and he was about to open his mouth to greet the old Pope, when Iger's spiritual message interrupted the warrior's behavior.

"Don't do that, Joshua, you're ......"

The Pope's voice was angry and funny, and there seemed to be a hint of surprise and helplessness: "I deliberately distracted myself from the battlefield and brought His Excellency the Mentor of Nature to reshape your body for you, not to turn you into an undead ghost - you hurry back to your body." ”

The legendary powerhouses have been paying attention to the battlefield of the Holy Mountain, whether it is Joshua's sudden attack or Evian's resolute counterattack, they are all under the gaze of the three legendary dragons and the three legendary powerhouses, at the moment when the red dragon was almost killed directly, the three legendary dragons even have a tendency to break away from the void and return to the battlefield of the Holy Mountain, but Eagle and the others stopped them.

Next, it was Evian who urged the artifact long sword to drop the entire western part of Gray Island by nearly five meters, splitting the blow of the continental shelf of more than ten kilometers along the coast.

By this time, the three legendary dragons had little intention of continuing the fight, and they were bent on returning to the main material plane, and Eagle was immediately distracted and persuaded the Nature Mentor to descend on the Holy Mountain Temple.

He knew that Joshua was not dead, and he also knew that if he wanted to save the warrior, he could only rely on this beautiful and powerful elven lady.

But the old Pope could not have imagined that Joshua's soul was so active, and in just a few minutes of his near death, he had actually sorted out his memories and consciousness, and had a complete thinking ability—if he hadn't come quickly, the warrior might have been reborn as a powerful spirit.

This is not a joke, Eagle even saw that Joshua's soul has divine lines spreading, with the support of this power, the warrior has the same powerful power after becoming a spirit body, and it may not even be much weaker than when he was alive, but in this way, he will not be able to resurrect, so the old Pope can only let Joshua's soul return to his body as soon as possible, and not walk around in soul form.

Anyway, this time the warrior has done the Church of the Seven Gods a great favor, if it weren't for him to contain the power of the red dragon, I'm afraid that there would be an entire direction of defense line that would be bombarded by the power of the artifact long sword, as evidenced by the separated sea and continental shelf, this is not a thriller, but a fact. For this alone, Eagle had to do everything in his power to help Joshua come back to life, even if it was to ask for a 'divine descendment'.

Before the final step, the Nature Mentor was walking towards Joshua's body, and she was able to heal his injuries.

The strange thing is that the outer layer of the warrior's soul has a circle of light patterns of order power, which seems to block the perception of the natural mentor, so that the legendary powerhouse is not aware of Joshua's soul and Iger's communication, but Joshua himself did not notice this, he listened to the old Pope's words, and simply returned to his body neatly.

The moment his soul rejoined the charred body, the warrior seemed to see a green crystal overflowing with life force pressed to his heart.

Then, a warm touch came, and the heartbeat began to beat again.

And just when he felt that he could open his eyes and see the world from a human perspective again, Joshua suddenly felt like the world was spinning.

In the main hall, the Lady of the Nature Mentor looked at the warrior's heart in amazement - the moment she pressed the heart of the Tree of Life to the energy center of the other party, and used the secret method to spread the powerful life force contained in it throughout the body, urging the rebirth of flesh and blood, Joshua's heart suddenly lit up with an incomparably bright cyan light.

This light mixed with the life force of the heart of the tree of life, which could bring people back from the dead, quickly repaired Joshua's body. In just a few seconds, you can see the coke falling, the new red flesh and various muscles and nerves are rapidly reborn, and the internal organs and even the eyeballs are growing again at a terrifying speed.

At this time, Joshua's spirit awakened in a certain illusion.

It is a vast grassland with endless green grass all over the hills, a small river at the edge of the grassland, mountains and forests meandering, a calm and peaceful village sits beside the river, and the sound of the waterwheel mill is heard and creaks.

The sky was clear, cloudless, and the sun was falling.

"The first time I brought the lamb back to life, my mother looked at me with fear, and my father tried to reassure her as much as he could, and gently asked me not to exert this power in front of everyone, but I knew that he was also terrified and confused about where I came from, as if I were not their child."

Joshua paused slightly, then turned his head, and saw a man sitting on the turquoise hill behind him, a young man with white hair and white eyes, and a handsome face.

This young man has long pure white hair that does not seem to be the color of the world, his face is soft, and there is no trace of flaws in his appearance, as if he is the embodiment of perfection. Beautiful and handsome can only describe part of him, but the most conspicuous thing at this time is a slight smile at the corner of the other party's mouth.

He smiled quietly and sat on the hill, his earthy linen robe fluttering in the wind with a slight rattle.

“…… Sages? ”

Joshua took a deep breath, this was not the first time he had come to this place - the small village where the sage lived in his childhood, and it was not even the first time that the sage had spoken, but this was the first time that the other party had taken the initiative to communicate with him.

But the white-haired boy did not reply to the warrior's words, he only stood up slightly, and then looked up at the sun.

The crisp young man's voice continued: "The fear of the unknown is only temporary, they finally accepted my ability, but I am not satisfied, what does my strength represent?" What's the secret behind it? I want to know all this because of human curiosity. ”

Facing the sun, the boy stretched out his arms, and the golden sunlight fell into his eyes, reflecting a blurry color: "So I left my hometown and traveled all over the world to explore the truth behind nature, the truth behind all phenomena." ”

Mountains and forests are elven villages, elven dens, halfling villages, lizardmen tribes, human cities, floating islands inhabited by winged people in the sky, centaurs galloping across the grasslands, wild orcs drinking blood in the wilderness, and Oger, who is as stunned as a stone but stronger than a monster, hunts huge dragons under the leadership of his own two-headed kind.

On the edge of the cliff, there are harpy banshees, deep abyss, primitive fish-man domesticated sea beasts, even in the center of the ice sea in the far north, on the top of the high mountains of the western continent, there are also many strange races to reproduce, everything is so vibrant, so that it makes people feel a lot of emotion.

But in the end, the illusion stayed on a battlefield.

It's a battlefield for millennia, where armies of many races fight each other for a fertile plain, swords intersect, blood flows, bones streak across the land, and rivers and lakes are stained red with red liquid.

The white-haired boy stood at the center of the battlefield, blood and bones by his side, calmly caressing the cheek of a human warrior, closing his eyes that were still wide open, blood was so out of place with him, but he didn't look unhappy at all.

"Knowing the truth and having power, so we can see higher and farther, and think deeper and heavier."

He said softly, as if to say to himself: "This world is full of strife and suffering, war and poverty have swept the seven continents, the nations are constantly divided, the tribes are killing each other, I want to change all this, I can change all this, so I change everything. ”

The illusion began to change again, and the white-haired boy stood at the center of all the chaos, he turned his head to look at the silent warrior, and at the boy's side, a figure appeared, and finally thirteen figures stood at his side, a firm arch guard beside the boy.

"I led humanity to progress, to bring peace through war, to restore peace to the world under the power of me and my followers, I brought humanity out of the city-states and merged into an empire, I brought the elves out of the jungle and formed an alliance, I brought the dwarves united under one leader for the first time, most of the strife was eliminated, order was established, and all races joined hands towards a new era."

He said calmly, "That's why they call me a sage. ”

Time finally freezes on an autumn day thousands of years ago, in the white temple of marble, the sage's expression has returned from seriousness to the gentle smile of childhood, his gaze can sweep the whole world, although there are occasional strife, there are still killings, wars and suffering, poverty and ignorance still quietly occur in some corners, continuation, but this is enough, he is satisfied.

The dwarves build mobile steel cities in the mountains, the elves build solar ships in the sky that can sail the void, and the human exploration team shuttles through time and space to find more than a dozen new worlds, everything can't be better, everything is developing steadily, even if the essence of life is to grow and evolve in war, and advance to survive in slaughter, but in this era, no one needs to do this.

Seeing this scene, Joshua took a deep breath.

He knew what had happened - the abyss had invaded, the evil gods had descended, and all peace and prosperity had been shattered, like a clay pot in a potter.

The fighters were thus silent.

And the white-haired boy naturally knew, so he just looked at everything that was prosperous around him with a nostalgic and regretful expression, and then everything collapsed into nothingness, and all illusions returned to darkness, leaving him and the warrior standing in the darkness of this void, looking at each other.

"Order will always be destroyed, but a new order will always be established, and the multiverse cycles the destruction and rebirth of all things, and I think the same is true of our world."

He said softly, and then walked in front of the warrior, he stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to touch Joshua's face, but because of his height, he could only touch his chest, the white-haired boy didn't care about this, he just said calmly: "My heir, can you love this world for me?" ”

Although he seems to be just a teenager, his words are full of love and nostalgia, as if an elder looks at his long-lost junior, and then sighs with heartfelt emotion.

Without waiting for Joshua to answer, the 'Sage' smiled slightly, and then turned into nothingness, and the black illusion space also changed rapidly, returning to the normal darkness caused by closing his eyes.

The warrior slowly opened his eyes, this was a separate room in the temple of the Church of the Seven Gods, he was wearing a loose robe that only the sick number wore, and beside him, the god machine siblings and the black dragon girl were all nervously standing next to him, the huge steel element No. 1 was standing at the door because of its size, and did not come in, but it also bent over, staring at the warrior's bed with its own one eye.

After seeing Joshua wake up, Hotaru took the lead in throwing himself into the warrior's arms, he could feel the wet liquid flowing in his chest, and he could also hear a slight choking sound, and Hei breathed a sigh of relief, and then the whole person lay on the bed, pressing the warrior's legs, Rin was the most calm, but it also seemed to let go of the big stone in his heart, and his body was weak, as if he was about to kneel to the ground.

Touching the head of the girl in his arms, Joshua showed a gentle smile that was completely different from his previous image, and he opened his mouth to comfort everyone's thoughts, expressing that he was safe and sound.

But for some reason, the warrior could faintly hear a voice that seemed to be sighing and blessing echoing in his ears.

-- All of this.

-- My beloved beings.
