The vast majority of intelligent beings have a calm joy when they look up at the starry sky.

Whether it is the powerful or the commoners, the rich or the poor, when looking up at the starry sky, it is the same insignificance, it is vast, broad, magnificent beyond the horizon of people, the starry sky is so eternal, in front of it, the life of intelligent life is so short, the joys, sorrows and sorrows familiar to the side are all gone away in an instant, which makes people extremely safe.

The vast majority of intelligent life, when looking up at the starry sky, has a surging throbbing heart.

With the development of civilization and the progress of technology, the more intelligent life explores the starry sky, the more it will find the grandeur of the starry sky - it is higher than the sky, bigger than the sky, it is farther than the vacuum, located on the other side of the endless deep space, it symbolizes the unknown, symbolizes exploration, symbolizes the thirst of wisdom for the distance, as long as you look up to it, life will always be full of enthusiasm.

But Paladin Lolanda is not one of the 'vast majority'.

He didn't like the stars at all.

To this day, Loranda still vividly remembers the trembling and fear that came to her heart when her adoptive father, Pope of the Seven Gods, Igger, took her through the barrier of the world for the first time and came to the void to look around the endless galaxy of the multiverse.

- too big, too vast, too dark...... Deeper than the deep sea, vaster than the wasteland, it is hard to imagine such a terrifying sight beyond the beautiful and bright world.

Why is this happening? At that time, Loranda had been thinking about this question, he could not understand why there was such a terrifying nothingness outside such a beautiful world, and when the old Pope took him to various worlds to sweep away the strife caused by the evil god of death, this doubt grew deeper and deeper, and when Joshua sent his deduction and speculation of the multiverse to all the characters he thought was worth informing, this doubt swelled in Lolanda's heart to the point where he had to speak.

- This multiverse, why is this happening?

There is endless chaos lurking in the darkness, unknown evil gods will creep in at any time, behind the seemingly beautiful light, there is a terrifying shadow that is constantly approaching, and an even more desperate picture is hidden in the terrifying and empty future.

- Such a starry sky is so terrifying that it makes people despair.

As the quasi-heir of the next generation of popes, Lolanda really thinks so in her heart.

The Church of the Seven is not a family power, and the Pope is generally chosen from among the most powerful Seven Priests - of course, there are occasional exceptions, such as the Seven God Pope Eagle of this generation. Before becoming pope, he was not a priest stationed in the temple, but a wandering priest who wandered around the continent. No one knew his name until the selection decades ago, and it wasn't until he had defeated all of his competitors and proved that he understood the Light better than anyone else or even the previous pope that the name of the overly simple priesthood was remembered.

It stands to reason that Lolanda, as the adopted son of the Pope, actually does not have any competitive advantage, he has to compete with others in the entire Church of the Seven, and will not have any preferential treatment because his adoptive father is St. Iger - but this time is different, unlike any adopted son and daughter of the Pope in previous history.

Lolanda is just too strong.

At the age of ten, he was sent to the Holy Mountain, cultivated as a knight squire, awakened the potential of extraordinary power at the age of eleven, and became the black iron class, at the age of thirteen, he officially mastered the seed of fighting qi and came to the high level of black iron, at the age of fifteen, he stepped into the silver Yaoling, at the age of eighteen, he officially awakened his fighting spirit and came to the high level of Yaoling, and at the age of twenty, he perfected the fire of life and could play with it, and stepped into the gold field in the second year.

After that, it took only five years for Lolanda to fully grasp his golden glory and sharpen his power to the pinnacle of gold—at that time, he had just celebrated his twenty-seventh birthday, and when most paladins were still touching the golden barrier, he had already seen the threshold above the limit of the species of 'human', called Extreme Will.

And after three years of fighting against the evil god of natural disasters in another world with a certain warrior, after sincere cultivation, Lolanda officially broke through the extreme intention of power at the age of thirty.

Then, except for the Pope, no one in the Church of the Seven could defeat him - whether it was a paladin or a priest of the same generation, or a temple priest and head of the paladin as an elder, when faced with the holy light that was as thick as a mountain and as changeable as water, he wisely chose to surrender, and before the paladin calmly raised the cross hammer and giant shield, even the extreme paladin Robzek, who was also a teacher and friend, could only admit with a wry smile that he had been surpassed by his juniors.

So, Lolanda became the next heir – not because he was the Pope's adopted son, but because he had no choice but him.

"What are you thinking, Loranda?"

Suddenly, a man's slightly angry voice sounded.

And then came a punch that was enough to shatter the mountains, break through the earth's crust, and sink the island's shelf!

Boom - In an environment that has long been beaten into a vacuum, it should not be possible to hear any sound, but the extremely condensed life energy fluctuations make all the extraordinary powerhouses who can sense the changes in energy sound an extremely shocking explosion in their minds.

The erratic memory was suddenly pulled back into his body, and the thoughts that wandered out of the world instantly condensed in his heart, and Lolanda suddenly opened his eyes that he had closed at some point, and he saw an iron fist glowing with a metallic cold light, and it was rushing towards his head with an overly bright plasma spark!

In less than a thousandth of a second, the iron fist was already pressed in front of Lolanda, and the plasma fire, which was more dazzling than the sun, was enough to burn the human eye to ashes, and even the most powerful people had to squint their eyes to avoid temporary blindness.

Lolanda could feel the strength of this blow, the danger of his situation, at this moment, countless thoughts flashed through his heart, but his tempered body and battle consciousness chose the most correct one - the paladin immediately raised the giant gold shield in his right hand and met the heavy punch.

Boom!!!

Not bright at all, it can even be said that the dull gray holy light overflowed from Lolanda's body, and then turned into a stream of light, merging into the giant shield, and the shield painted with the seven sacred emblems slammed head-on into the Iron Fist of the Collapsed Mountain—and the next moment, what appeared was not the unremarkable ending of the giant shield blocking the heavy punch, accompanied by the terrible roar of the atmosphere being torn, the iron fist shattered the Adamantite Giant Shield like a biscuit, and then the remaining momentum continued unabated, and beat Lolanda in the face.

It can be seen that the flesh and blood were vaporized in an instant, and the paladin's figure was shot away in an instant, his body cut a long arc of more than ten kilometers in the thin air, and then fell heavily on the gray-white gravel ground.

"Don't be distracted during the battle - Loranda, you took the initiative to challenge me, and asked me to use the same strength to fight with you."

Standing on the edge of the crater, he said in a calm tone to Lolanda, who was still lying in the center of the crater: "I promised you, because you are my friend, and if you also treat me as a friend, you should take it seriously." ”

"Focus on the battle, and don't let me look down on you."

Hearing this, the paladin's body, which was lying flat in the middle of the crater, moved—gray light enveloped his body, and he slowly sat up, then stood up. Veins-like veins of holy light appeared on the skull that had almost turned into a skeleton, and quickly regenerated Loranda's flesh and blood face.

There was a crisp sound of bone regeneration at the joints of his shoulders, and the muscle fibers and blood vessels that had been blasted by the tremendous force also closed and closed, and then healed.

"It's my fault."

Walking out of the pit, Lolanda sincerely apologized to the black-haired figure: "Because I saw the starry sky just now, my heart fluttered, and I couldn't help but wander for a moment. ”

"Ever since I learned the truth about the world's galaxy and the multiverse from you, every time I see the starry sky, I can't help but wonder why this world is like this."

When the smoke cleared, the two of them could be seen standing in a desolate rocky desert, with almost no light on the gray earth, only a little starlight in the distant darkness, which was the only source of light in the land.

If you zoom out and look at this dark world from afar, you can see a shattered planet - an icy wind sweeping over this dead planet that had been partially shattered in the ancient wars, and in the distance, the remnants of stars that have been drained of all energy and turned into white dwarfs are slowly spinning in a dusty nebula.

This is the six hundred and eighty-first layer of the abyss, the deep abyss, a desert world that was once destroyed in the final battle, and then almost engulfed by chaos, completely ushering in the end.

On the rocky wasteland on the shattered planet, Lolanda took a deep breath and began to gather the holy light in his body, and in front of him, it was an incarnation of the legendary warrior Joshua van Radcliffe who suppressed his strength to the extreme level, and in the face of this friend and strong enemy, Lolanda shook his left and right hands weakly, filled with light, a cross war hammer condensed by gray holy light, and a shield shaped by light was held in his palm.

"I can't figure out why the multiverse, which was born from the Initial Fire, is so desperate and dark, and I can't explain it at all."

Before he finished speaking, the paladin moved, and with the sand and dust that struck, Lolanda's whole body turned into a streamer and rushed towards Joshua.

At this time, although Lolanda was slightly injured by his previous wandering, under the effect of the powerful defense and recovery power of the Holy Light, he still maintained his heyday at this time - the speed of the Paladin at the peak of extreme intention reached 17,000 kilometers per second, fifty times the speed of sound on the dead planet close to the vacuum!

At this speed, the distance of crossing a hundred meters did not even need for a moment, only a dim gray light could be seen, but the incarnation of the black-haired man smiled at this, and in the face of the gray light that ordinary detection circles could not capture, his figure disappeared directly, and at the same time, he could see that the rocky wasteland began to appear abruptly and exploded again and again, and dazzling flashes of energy appeared everywhere in the wasteland like a small mountain bag.

At this time, the two people, who were at the peak of their strength, were colliding and fighting at dozens of times the speed of sound.

Waves of heavy and violent force continued to blast out from the metal iron fist, shaking the paladin's body, and the gray holy light also penetrated, dipping into the warrior's arms in a dark form, and the two sides defended and attacked each other, and it could be seen that the hot concussive hand knife cut through Lolanda's shield of holy light, and the cross hammer smashed down on Joshua's shoulder covered in metal armor, sending out a dull echo.

"Lolanda, Brandon challenged me before, he wanted to fight me, and I agreed to him."

And just as the paladin was engrossed in this rapid attack and defense, the warrior's clear voice echoed in his ears: "He wanted to test me how sharp and heavy his sword really was, and he wanted to know how powerful he was at the peak of his extreme intent and how far he could go - so I kicked him into the sun." ”

As soon as the words fell, a crazy warning suddenly sounded in Lolanda's heart, his eyes widened, and he wanted to retreat quickly, but it was too late, Joshua quickly approached, he raised his right elbow high, and bombarded the paladin's skull heavily - this blow was so powerful that it was like a mountain falling from the sky, and if Lolanda couldn't stop it, there was no doubt that he would be directly shattered in the head.

"Ahhhh

In order to avoid such an outcome, Loranda could only raise his hands quickly, and even dragged out one or two obvious white lines of holy light on the sides of his arms, and he roared silently, blocking the hammer of holy light and the giant shield above his head, and he could see that a gray-white glow suddenly appeared on the paladin's face, and an angelic aura appeared above his head - but Joshua's elbow strike had arrived.

Rumble!

With the collision of attacks and defenses on both sides, everything lost its sound.

The incredible force shattered the rock formations on the surface of the planet in an instant, tearing apart the already crumbling crust, and the energy tide attracted by the huge force even distorted the firelight, and the mantle that had begun to cool was directly pierced by the power condensed in the line, and the figure of the paladin wrapped in the holy light dragged out a long gray straight line, which was smashed directly into the deepest part of the mantle and blasted into the core of the earth.

"At that time, the surface of the sun exploded, and the light and heat of the star rolled up a tsunami of light on the million-kilometer scale - and Brandon cut off the corona and walked out of the surface of the sun."

"At that time, the light of his sword was like an abyss that shattered everything, enough to cut the world, and the sword of the abyss that determined life and death could bring everything to an end, including chaos. He accomplished his purpose and found what he wanted. ”

On the innermost side of the shattered planet, in the deepest part of the mantle, even if the sun is extinguished, the heat of the earth's melting core has not completely dissipated, and around the center of the earth, there are still golden-red viscous liquid metals that are slowly wriggling - in fact, in the face of the high temperature and pressure of the earth's core, there is no more magma, rock and liquid state, here, the solid and liquid states of matter are indistinguishable, even the strongest alloy, here is as soft as grease, but stronger than diamond.

However, in this extremely soft, yet incomparably strong, hot layer of metal, a humanoid figure slowly emerged from the golden-red viscous molten iron, and the almost torn head of the warrior's elbow was rapidly healing in the gray light, and the first to regenerate was the bright and determined eyes of the paladin.

"That's nothing."

He used the holy light to shake the dense metal layer at the center of the earth, and made a deafening sound: "I can also come out of the stars." ”

"It's just Joshua, Brandon was able to find what he was looking for because he was so bent on it: he had a wife, he had a daughter, and as long as he could protect his family, he wouldn't think about anything else at all - he put all his faith into love and affection, even if he didn't need to know the answer, he could move forward with great determination."

But I'm different.

I want to know the answer.

With endless doubts, the battered paladin stood up again and again - with his talent, he should have found his own path a long time ago, but for some reason, Lolanda simply suppressed the instinctive desire for self-sublimation that began to beat since returning from the suppression of the chaos of many galactic worlds, and the man who was as stubborn as iron in his beliefs would never allow any confusion in his heart.

Until she finds the answer in her heart, Lolanda will never compromise with the world and will take steps forward at will.
