"Joshua, are you alright?"

In the silence, the warrior could faintly hear the voice of an elven lady, with the soft voice of the elves around the Lake of Eternity, and at the same time, a stream of xenomorph energy was released, as if to block the connection point between the remnants of the abundant evil god and his own communication.

Because of this action, Joshua reacted from the cold and dark illusion, he exhaled, and then took the initiative to cut the link with the remains of the Rich Evil God, returning his consciousness to the real world.

Opening his eyes, Joshua turned around, he saw that Garanod was pressing one hand on the back of his shoulder, and the pure power of nature surged, as if it wanted to wake him up from a long immersion, although it was not necessary, Joshua still pulled out a smile, nodded and said, "Thank you for your help, Nature Mentor, I'm fine." ”

At this time, it was already late at night, and Joshua had been connected with the remnants of the evil god for more than four hours, and even the slowest sword saint in the Black Forest, Ramott, had already finished his work two hours ago and arrived at the Chaos Spring in the center of the Black Forest.

Seeing Joshua alone in the remnants of the evil god, the Holy Sword Envoy didn't say much, just shook his head, then stood aside and leisurely lit a cigarette, a habit he had left over from his early years when he was not a legend.

Originally, according to the plan, it was supposed to be the four of them working together, such as Garanord, Faina, La Motte, and Joshua, to directly use the legendary power to wipe the remains of the Rich Evil God from the material world, and it didn't matter whether it was linked or not, because no one could guarantee that valuable information could be parsed from the whispers of the Evil God's Chaos, but if Joshua wanted to try, then others would be willing to let him try it - but this attempt took so long that even the natural mentor, who had the most confidence in the warrior, felt that something was wrong.

So she immediately took action, preparing to forcibly cut off Joshua's link with the evil god.

"What did you see in the illusion?"

Garanord and Fayna teamed up to test the warrior, and she made sure that Joshua was not infected by the chaos and that her mental state was normal, and then she patted the warrior's chest and said a little strangely, "Why did you stay so long?" It's been almost five hours. ”

On the side, Faina, who was reading a magic guide book, also shrugged: "And you actually subconsciously took a step back, this is not like you, is it just a fantasy, will it make you frightened to retreat?" ”

This joke immediately caused a wave of good-natured laughter around him, because everyone present knew that this was impossible, not to mention anything else, in the battle that sealed the will of the world, Joshua didn't even scare him away from the sinister situation of slaying the Black Dragon King and the two demon lords, and the legendary wheel battle, how could it be a mere illusion?

But Joshua didn't laugh together, his expression was solemn, and even the atmosphere around him became low, and the laughter gradually disappeared - and at the same time, with a sharp friction sound, the distorted circle of light that was originally behind the warrior, where the remains of the evil god was, suddenly shattered! The distorted aperture with a radius of several tens of meters was originally the source of all the chaotic aura around it, but in an instant, all the chaotic aura decomposed itself in a fragmented sharp roar, and the entire distorted aperture disintegrated layer by layer like broken glass, and then turned into invisible!

I could vaguely see that in the center of the aperture, a strange shadow that seemed to be the leaf of some plant faintly appeared, but it only appeared for a moment, and then disappeared, as if it had never existed, and with it, all the chaotic magic around it completely disappeared, and it was no longer possible to perceive the slightest trace of their existence!

Looking at this scene, the cigarette in the hand of the sword saint Ramot fell from his fingers, Faina, who was flipping through the magic guide book, also subconsciously closed the book, and the natural mentor standing beside Joshua subconsciously took a step back and made a gesture of preparation.

However, the mutation ended here, and nothing unexpected happened except for the complete dissipation of the remains of the evil god.

"Earl Radcliffe?"

Standing on the outermost side, Lamote stared at the position where the original distorted aperture was, his body straightened, and he stepped on the cigarette butt under his feet, the Sword Saint turned his head to look at Joshua, and said in a puzzled tone, "You know...... What's going on here? ”

"I extracted all the information from this piece of the wreckage of the evil god, so it decomposed itself."

To this, Joshua replied succinctly: "I'm so sorry that I'm immersed in illusions and made you wait so long. ”

No one cared about Joshua's apologies, and right now, there was only one question on everyone's mind.

What did Joshua see in the illusion to make the remnants of the evil gods that had not changed for thousands of years decompose themselves?

Fayna was the first to ask this question, she and Joshua often exchanged letters on theoretical issues, and she was also one of the first legendary powerhouses to go to a different world with civilization and communicate with the Atrium civilization, and the two had a good personal relationship, so Fayna did not hesitate to ask about this matter.

However, Joshua didn't directly answer the question of the East China Sea Sage, he took a deep breath, then looked up at the sky, and said calmly: "To be honest, if it weren't for the memory of the Abundant Evil God, I really can't imagine it...... Too young. ”

"The multiverse we're in is too young."

When Joshua said this, her heart was full of emotion and incredulity.

Because if the memory of the abundant evil gods is not wrong and lying, then according to the research of those high-energy civilizations 160 million years ago, this multiverse, including the world of Microf, was born only 3.2 billion years ago.

What is this concept? The age of the earth is 4.6 billion years, and the age of this multiverse is only 3.2 billion, which means that the time of the earth's existence alone is longer than this multiverse!

Although it is said that the speed of time in each world is different, if it is calculated in standard time, there may indeed be a situation where the multiverse is only 3.2 billion years old, but tens of billions of years have passed inside some worlds, but to be honest, Joshua has not encountered this situation yet, whether it is the world of Karlis or the world of Sibeja that he went to not long ago, the time flow rate of the two worlds is about the same - if there is a powerhouse of the level of Fatroorvi to control time, it is another matter.

But compared to Joshua's emotion, several other legendary powerhouses all showed polite smiles to hide their incomprehension - although they understood the concept of 3.2 billion years, they didn't understand why this could also be considered young.

After all, it is only a thousand years for a world to be born to be formed, and it will take millions of years at most for intelligent life to give birth to civilization from scratch, because of the existence of extraordinary power and ancient dragons, the possibility of civilization being born and stabilized is greatly increased, and the speed is also accelerated, and the entire era of starfall is not even a thousand years.

Tell them about the concept of 3.2 billion years, how can they understand the meaning and empathize with Joshua's feelings? For them, an ancient civilization of 160 million years ago is surprising enough.

Having understood this, the warrior could not help but sigh.

160 million years ago, the prototype of the Abundant Evil God, that is, one of the initial high-energy civilizations that formed the world's galaxy, should be the first batch of intelligent life after the entire multiverse environment tends to stabilize, they live around the initial fire, and breed a brilliant civilization, they can move the coordinates of the world, cross the void at will, they can even determine the age of the multiverse by some means, and create planes and small worlds at will by artificial means.

And in the long record of such a glorious civilization, there is not the slightest shadow of the existence of evil gods.

It's not that it was deliberately deleted, or it wasn't discovered, in fact, in the records of those civilizations, the evil gods didn't exist in that era at all, and those ancient civilizations selflessly pursued the ultimate of civilization, where did it seem like there was a little chaos invasion and could be threatened by external forces at any time? At that time, there were not even Void Behemoths, and all worlds were created directly from the Void by the Initial Fire.

Only at the end of the illusion, after a long period of darkness, when all the ancient civilizations turned into smoke and dust in the maelstrom of the void, the familiar aura of chaos filled the void, and even the initial fire began to shrink, the initial void beasts, and the most ancient abundant evil gods, were quietly born.

On the side, all the legendary powerhouses listened carefully to Joshua's story, the warrior did not have any talent for speech, everything was told in the most simple and straightforward sentences and tone, but everyone, including the platinum vine mother who secretly poked out a vine on the side, was immersed in the truth.

"All philosophical questions will eventually be transformed into practical questions, why did the apple fall? Why do all things exist? If we deduce it downwards, we can get many truths, such as gravity and electromagnetism...... But evil gods are different. ”

At this time, the warrior's face was extremely solemn, and he recounted what he had seen and heard in the illusion of the rich evil god, and recounted his perception of it: "They reduce the problems of reality to the original philosophical and conceptual problems. We originally thought that the evil god was actually some kind of most powerful demon, the most powerful Void Behemoth, with a physical threat. But we were wrong, they didn't exist at all. The evil god is actually a kind of law that can forcibly change the composition of the material structure, a special concept, as long as it is dominated by this law and concept, even the most normal world will become an evil god. ”

"Evil gods don't exist?"

Faina, who was originally silent, asked, as a sage who pursued the truth of the world, her face was heavy: "Joshua, what does this mean?" ”

"It means that the evil god is actually a natural phenomenon, just as the holy light was created by the sages, and the evil god is also created by other beings, and it does not exist in this multiverse at all—the laws of nature."

Joshua calmly replied, "The evil gods do not bring the end of the world - they are the symbol of some kind of end times, they are the end of the world itself. ”

"The destruction of the world is only the cause of their birth, just like earthquakes, and the real end point is not the destruction caused by earthquakes, but the plate pressures that accumulate in the earth's crust."

Suddenly, there was silence at the bottom of the entire Chaos Fountain, and no one continued to ask.

Evil gods, didn't exist in the multiverse from the beginning? Is it a law and a natural phenomenon created by a certain being?

This really broke everyone's common sense, after all, according to their previous understanding, the evil god equals the wreckage of the world after death is the truth, and there is no other explanation, but now, it is like someone suddenly told them that 1+1 is actually equal to 3, shattering all the original cognition.

And Joshua, who had absorbed most of the memories of the remnants of the Rich Evil God, had a silver glow flashing in his eyes, he looked at the surroundings and fell into deep thought, and even planned to take out the communication equipment and contact the legendary powerhouses of his friends and companions, and said in a deep voice: "This is just a guess, not a 100% fact, no one knows if there will be any mistakes or omissions in the memory of the Rich Evil God, you don't need to notify other legends so quickly." ”

"No, Joshua, that's important."

The Nature Mentor looked up, and she pulled out a mirror-like communication device, as if she was contacting the Elven Empress of the Eternal Isle, and Garanod heard the warrior's words, and then raised his head and explained, "The memories of the evil gods are the information you have analyzed, and we believe in you—and, most importantly, 'the evil gods have not existed since the beginning'. ”

"Yes, Garanord is right."

Another time, the Sword Saint Lamot also nodded heavily, this casually dressed legendary powerhouse rarely frowned, his face was serious, and he said solemnly: "To be honest, many high-level forces, such as the group of warlock royals in Xishan, are full of irrepressible fear in their hearts after knowing the existence of evil gods, because they think that evil gods are irresistible, even if one is destroyed, there will be a second, a third, endless, endless, endless-but if it is really as you say, If evil gods are not natural phenomena that have existed since the beginning of the multiverse, then it means that they were indeed created by some beings, like my sword, which is a tool forged by humans. ”

"Since they can be created, they can be destroyed. Since they have the origin of birth, they naturally have the possibility of a complete end. ”

Fayna had already finished sending the information, after all, she was the supreme leader of the East China Sea forces, her expression was not heavy at this time, but there was a hint of a smile: "Listen, I originally thought that the evil god is some kind of phenomenon that has existed since the birth of the multiverse, just like matter will attract each other, and high-temperature objects will transmit temperature to low-temperature objects, which makes people completely unable to raise the courage to fight." But now, knowing this, I feel that the evil god is 'nothing more than that.'" ”

Faina's last sentence was nothing more than that, deliberately imitating Joshua's usual tone - she imitated it perfectly, and even the voice was corrected with magic, which made the warrior himself stunned for a moment, and then, the sage of the East China Sea sensed the current time a little, and then turned around and left in a dashing manner, flying into the sky: "It's late, the Black Forest has been cleared, and you have already woken up, the next thing will be handed over to Fuji Mu and Prison Sky Dragon, I will go back to the East China Sea first." ”

After speaking, with the fluctuation of space magic, Faina simply disappeared into midair.

Immediately afterwards, the Sword Saint Lamoth also said goodbye, and before leaving, he shook hands with Joshua, and by the way, he showed the information terminal that he made into a ring.

"It's a good thing."

"My wife is a rare gift to me, she's now a die-hard member of your Moldavian industrial group, and her house is full of those interesting magic items you invented...... This little thing allows me to chat with her whenever I want, even if I wander the world, without having to prepare a large communication circle and magic source at home, as I used to. ”

"This is the trend of the future development of magic props."

Joshua shrugged, and the two didn't exchange many pleasantries, and after turning around, the Sword Master turned into an illusion and disappeared into the real world like smoke.

"I don't have much to say." The last person was the Mentor of Nature, the beautiful elven lady smiled at Joshua, and then said softly: "However, the elven clan has joined the Empire's external exploration plan, and when it is officially launched, I will come to the Empire to visit you, the Earl, and watch the beginning of the first exploration operation for myself." ”

"You're welcome, and you won't be disappointed."

Soon, the body of the natural mentor also turned into a piece of flying branches and leaves, dissipating between heaven and earth, and in an instant, the entire center of the Black Forest, the bottom of the original Chaos Fountain was empty, and the remnants of the evil god that were originally planned to be completely sealed with the 'Otherworld Sealing Technique' were also completely destroyed by Joshua, and the entire center of the Black Forest will gradually return to normal in more than ten years, turning into a normal and fertile forest.

Joshua was silent for a long time, his body slowly rising, leaving the bottom of the Fountain of Chaos, and he stood on the black forest dirt that had turned into white gravel.

"Are the ignorant fearless, or are they really not afraid of the truth at all?"

The warrior sighed, and he whispered, "Although it is only speculation, if the evil god is really a natural phenomenon created by some incomparably powerful being, just like the Holy Light...... So, who exactly is this being? And how powerful is it? ”

And what is the purpose of its creation of evil gods?

But this contemplation was soon interrupted by a distant noise, and Joshua raised his head, his gaze peering through the layers of trees and hills into the distance.

It was the sound of Black and Hatsu, who had taken the form of an ancient dragon, crossing the terrain and trampling on the Black Forest, and the surrounding demonic beasts dared to be angry at the other party's rude actions under the coercion of the legendary demonic beasts on the side.

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to think about this kind of question."

Joshua simply gave up thinking.

Regardless of who created the evil god and why did it do that, does it make sense to think about this kind of thing? Can you stop the invasion of evil gods if you think about it? Thinking about this kind of thing, can it make Joshua stronger? Since it can't, then it's a meaningless act.

Not to mention...... As Faina, a sage of the East China Sea, said.

"But—that's it."

Repeating the phrase that Faina imitated his everyday words, Joshua swept away the gloom in his heart that had been generated by the memory of the abundant evil god, shook his head with a smile, and walked slowly in the direction of the Black and the First Trumpet.

"Speaking of which, why do other legends have such a handsome way of debuting and leaving? Why can I only walk? ”
