Sword of Dawn

Then he turned his head with a dull expression and looked at the gods in the assembly hall.

The gods are more confused than him.

"Theoretically...theoretically, there is really no problem." The first person to break the silence was Gaia, the goddess of the earth. Her eyes were a little dazed, but her thinking was still clear. However, isn’t this still very suspicious? Why would a high-ranking god suddenly ask believers to change their offerings? This will inevitably arouse doubts in their hearts..."

After hearing this, Belsetia showed a meaningful smile. She looked at the goddess of the earth with a puzzled face, and said in a low tone: "You are a god, and you know about gods, but you don't Mortal believers who don't understand themselves... Really devout believers will not doubt any words from the gods. They have ten thousand ways to explain and convince themselves, and those parts that cannot be explained are all from the gods Trials and deep meanings that mortals cannot penetrate—without this blind piety, how could they listen to the words of the gods and even perform sacrificial ceremonies with mortal bodies?

"Of course, if it is to reduce accidents as much as possible, you can limit the scope of listening to oracles and performing ceremonies, so that only churches, temples and priests above a certain scale are eligible to participate, and this happens to be possible. A certain degree of filtering—the priests who obey the oracle will never doubt the will of the gods, and the priests who doubt the will of the gods have no access to the oracle at all.

"In short, no matter what the truth of the matter is, it is absolutely difficult to convey it to the 'divine half body', because it requires too much imagination to think of these things, and with this kind of imagination and skepticism, dare to turn things into conspiracy A person who associates with profane directions . . . will not be a devout believer at all."

All the gods in the rally looked at each other, and even Amoen, who was eating melons and watching the fun, couldn't help but raised his head and looked this way curiously. Amber tugged at Gawain's arm and muttered softly. : "Why didn't I expect the Silver Queen to be so flexible..."

What else could Gao Wen say?He could only shrug his shoulders, and also lowered his voice: "Bersetia has been smart since she was a child..."

He still has some things to say - if you want to talk about professional things, you have to leave them to professional people. Belsetia has the priesthood status of "high priest of nature", let's say it is the ancient silver empire. The last remaining "symbol of theocracy" in the theocracy, although she and her family severed the connection with the God of Nature thousands of years ago, as the saying goes, "Only understanding can overcome", Belsetia was also a child She is familiar with church classics and theological works, and as a high priest who rejects the gods, she knows more about faith than most devout believers in the world.

This allowed her to successfully get stuck in a bug in this matter...

But even at this point, there are still voices of worry on the assembly floor, and Blood God Dan Mo looks worried: "But this only reduces the risk to the greatest extent, but does not completely eliminate the risk. We are all aware of the complexity of mortals. Once things are implemented on a large scale, no matter how many filters and restrictions we add, it may get out of control."

Blood God Dunmer's worries seemed a bit excessive, but Gawain understood this cautiousness. After all, this was a plan to murder the gods. What they had to deal with was the most powerful and dangerous man in the world who was already at the critical point. A group of existences in the world, even if there is an exquisite cooperation between the humanity of the gods and mortals, even if there is a bug in the Silver Queen's help card, the risk behind this matter still exists, and even the slightest risk may lead to irreversible results. So it is always right to consider several possibilities.

After all, before a mortal actually takes action, you can never predict how much work he can do for you—are you kidding me about the complexity of the human heart?

Gawain fell into deep thought, and after thinking for a long time, he suddenly thought of something: "I'm curious about one thing - what kind of process did you go through when you accepted the sacrifice? Is it the transmission of items? Or is it material? Disassemble and reorganize? Or do you really open a door to the kingdom of God and take things back directly?"

"Of course it's not to open the door directly. It's too dangerous to establish a direct connection between the kingdom of God and the world." The god of commerce, Baofar, shook his head. 'In front of our divine throne, the sacrifice seems to be disassembled and reassembled once during this process, and it will completely maintain its 'correct state' before and after the reorganization. But we don't know the specific principle of this process... just like our own The operation of the priesthood and the Kingdom of God, these are things that we cannot explain ourselves, but work like instinct."

"This may still have something to do with the 'unified fluctuation model'," Gawain touched his chin thoughtfully while listening to Bouvard's explanation, "but it's not important. The second question, how did you accept the sacrifice? 'Designated target'? Do you only accept things that believers have clearly designated as sacrifices, or can you accept any items within the range of the ceremony site, or are you subject to your own priesthood? There is a limit to the number of sacrifices you can accept each time What? If so, what are the constraints?"

Hearing Gao Wen's series of questions, Amber rolled her eyes subconsciously—she hadn't seen Lao Zongzi's "[-] whys" mode for a long time, and now it seems that the other party's life-threatening series of questions is still the same as before. It's imposing.

Not far away, Baofar began to answer Gao Wen's question after a short thought: "The number of sacrifices in the sacrificial ceremony is actually unlimited, or it is limited by the devout heart and ideological trend of the believers in the ceremony. The power produced, and the "formed" gods like us, the sacrifices that can be collected in a large ceremony are a very large number, far exceeding the upper limit of sacrifices in each ceremony. It's just that we will only Take a little bit of something symbolically, complete the ritual according to instinct and then stop responding—in this respect, there is no conflict between the behavior of the divine half and the human half, so we can operate freely.

"As for how to 'designate the target' when accepting sacrifices..."

When Boval said this, he suddenly stopped. He seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Gawain with strange eyes: "What are you trying to do?"

"Is there such a possibility? I'm just hypothesizing." Gao Wen thought for a while and said seriously, "We held the ceremony directly next to an arsenal and announced to the public that the entire street was the ceremony site. The priests of the ceremony put a fruit plate and flower basket on the altar, anyway, it is what the ceremony should have under normal circumstances, and they don't need to know what the warehouse next to it is for-then you collect the warehouse by the way. "

Gods: "...?"

Amber looked at Gao Wen, then at Belsetia, and suddenly suspected that the two were biological...

Chapter 1546

The ideas of Gao Wen and Belsetia have fully proved one thing, that is, if you want to take advantage of the loopholes in religious ceremonies, you must either be knowledgeable or shameless, and as long as you can meet one of the two conditions One, you can have as many loopholes as you want - the iteration of religious activities inherited from the primitive worship period is slow, and almost no one looks at this sacred thing from the perspective of "drilling loopholes". No one will take the initiative to fix bugs or seriously discuss the irrationality in the ritual process, but the natural principles behind these rituals will not take the initiative to circumvent certain loopholes because of the believers' ignorance-now, these thousands of years have never happened The loopholes considered by others became "opportunities" in Gao Wen's eyes.

If you think about it carefully, the existence of this kind of loophole is actually inevitable. After all, the most important condition in devout belief is "don't question". What is not to question?To put it simply, the divine right is absolute. As long as it points to the gods, then mortals will never be allowed to doubt and encounter difficulties?That is a test given by the gods, the words in the scriptures are unreasonable?It's because you don't have enough understanding, the house next door suddenly disappeared halfway through the sacrificial ceremony?God’s move must have a deep meaning, don’t even think about continuing to pray, even if this street is gone, it’s God’s will...

This is piety.

Of course, the above are only considered from the perspective of church activities. When it comes to actual operation, it must not be so rough and simple. As the ruler of the real world, Gao Wen has to consider the stability of society and the lives of a large number of ordinary people. He cannot Really hold a large-scale sacrificial ceremony and then make a house or even half a block disappear in front of ordinary people - this needs to be discussed with the gods in question, just take away the things in the house...

The assembly hall fell into a short silence. The gods were obviously shocked by Gawain's whimsical ideas. Even Amorn, who was eating melons and watching the excitement, showed a petrified state at this moment, until Gawain's voice suddenly broke Silence: "What do you think of my suggestion?"

A gust of wind blew from nowhere, rolling the courtyard under the golden oak tree. Amidst the rustling of grass leaves, Amorn's voice finally sounded from the edge of the assembly hall: "I think you can give it a try, from the sacrificial ceremony Judging from the process and loopholes in the process, this operation is feasible, of course, the details of the specific implementation need to be discussed... such as the designation of the sacrificial field."

"Yes, the sacrificial field is affected by the symbolic meaning of the ceremony, and it doesn't mean that it can be as big as we want," said the god of commerce, Baofar, "and we can't take away anything in the ceremony at will. This first requires the 'approval' of the ceremony process. It is best to hold a closed ceremony in the church, which is a place where the earthly world and the kingdom of God are closely connected, which can ensure the stability of the transmission process, and the closed environment of the church also helps to cover up the ceremony site Abnormal movement around."

"But is there an arsenal near the church?" Nefari, the god of song, dance and wind, frowned. "I don't think there is such a thing around the main churches in my memory..."

"There is no such thing around our sister's church." Eve, the goddess of harvest, also shook her head. "It is impossible to have such things around the church facilities..."

Gao Wen looked at these people with a serious expression on his face: "You can have this."

"...that's right," Nefari was taken aback for a moment, and then realized, "You should be able to arrange this easily."

"But does holding such a large-scale sacrificial ceremony suddenly require a legitimate name?" Blood God Dan Mo immediately asked another question, "Although devout believers do not question the oracle, such a large-scale Church activities not only affect devout believers, but the doubts in the hearts of ordinary believers and superficial believers may also affect the state of the divine half..."

"In this regard, we can cooperate in this world," Gao Wen said immediately, "Winter is coming to an end, and the following recovery month will be a month full of various festivals. We can organize various recovery month celebrations. We are here In such celebrations, churches organize sacraments to please the gods, so it is not surprising that they add a sacrificial ceremony to the regular prayers... If there is still a need for a name, it is after the victory of the Wasteland War Pray for all beings in the world."

"Similar sacrificial ceremonies can be held many times," Rosetta Augustus said immediately after Gawain's voice fell, "After the end of the Recovery Moon, there will be the Midsummer Festival, and then there will be the Harvest Festival. In the coming year There is also the Winter Veil celebration in winter. Although according to the tradition, not all festivals have sacrificial offerings, but now is the first year after the end of the Wasteland War. Whether it is in the name of comforting the heroes of the Wasteland War or In the name of the world's blessing, we can all ask cathedrals to hold such ceremonies."

"And we don't necessarily have to hold sacraments during the festival," Belsetia also broke the silence, "We can create some small-scale miracles in certain 'sacred places', and then arouse public opinion around them, and finally Holding additional religious sacrificial activities in the name of 'Heaven's Omen', as long as there are suitable reasons, pious priests will not refuse such things-especially these things will also be approved by the Theocratic Council. Of course, this process It may require the cooperation of the gods... Now that you have been separated from the divine half, can you still do things like causing miracles in the world?"

The last sentence of Belsetia was said by looking at the gods in the assembly hall, and Faule, the god of winter and mountains, responded immediately: "Of course, this is almost an instinctive thing for us. Both half-body and human half-body have this power."

Gao Wen nodded: "This solves another problem. All in all, we need an extremely tacit cooperation this time - the world and the gods must work together to ensure the success of the plan without disturbing the half body of the gods." , and does not cause ideological turmoil."

The three earthly emperors and the gods discussed the plan to guide the gods at dusk, and those bold and even astonishing plans were quickly formed. Amber couldn't help but widen her eyes, and finally endured for a long time. A sentence suddenly popped up: "Why are you so proficient in making these plans... It feels like ordinary priests are not as smooth as you!"

Hearing Amber's chanting, Gao Wen just exhaled lightly, and said calmly: "The person who ends the theocracy must be the one who understands the theocracy best. If you want to destroy an order, you must first be in this field." You need experts, you can't get anything done with a lot of anger and ambition."

"This may be the first large-scale cooperation between the world and the gods, and it will also be the last," the blood god Dan Mo couldn't help sighing, "The irony is that the relationship between mortals and gods did not end until the age of mythology was decided. Only then did we really have such a little bit of tacit understanding.”

"It's better than not being able to communicate until the last moment," Nefali comforted at the side, "It will be fine after this incident is successfully concluded. There is no hidden danger of the mad god, and many plans of the Theocratic Council can be more assured and bold." If we continue to push forward, we, the remaining human half-body, can also work together with the council. Didn't Gawain Cecil describe a 'final order'? That day will come sooner or later..."

Amber's eyes swept back and forth between these stalwart figures and the three earthly emperors including Gao Wen. She didn't know what she was thinking about, and suddenly said: "But we are so densely populated within a year. Is it really okay to organize church activities?"

Gao Wen glanced at her: "Which problem are you referring to?"

"In terms of public opinion, what is the direction of the official release?" Amber said while organizing her words. After following Gao Wen for so long, she has obviously been able to use many new words invented by him proficiently. Let’s not discuss strengthening the connection of thought trends. After all, the beliefs of the gods are still there, and the connection of thought trends is still there. The Age of Mythology is over, but the key is the subsequent impact...

"For a long time, the Theocratic Council has been sending out a signal to control large-scale religious gatherings and weaken the authority of the church, but now we have to organize so many large-scale sacrificial activities within a year, and many activities even have the Theocracy Council and various countries. The platform of the government...Will this send a wrong signal to the outside world, making the people think that the "wind direction" above has changed? On a larger scale, will this make some churches "inflate" and feel that they are doing well again... At that time, the various sects will rebound, and what should they do if they continue the Mythological Age just after it ends?"

Hearing Amber's worries, Gao Wen pondered for a while and then shook his head gently: "The problems you mentioned do exist, but compared to the early end of the Age of Mythology and the result of passing the 'Rite of Coming of Age' safely, this price or the risk I have On the other hand, although we want to organize these sacrificial activities within a year, it does not mean that the council allows various sects to engage in expansion operations without permission—— After the end of God's Twilight Project, all restrictions will return to normal, and the Council of Power still has the brakes."

Speaking of this, he paused, with a meaningful smile on his face: "As for what you are worried about, will the major churches misunderstand certain things, will they feel that they are doing it again, and even if the council has not approved it? What kind of tricks do you do under the circumstances... You have to remember one thing - only officially approved sacrificial activities are called 'pray for the people', and sacrificial activities without documents, no matter how large in scale, are called 'illegal assemblies'.

"We have a comprehensive set of laws against this kind of illegal assembly."

The corner of Amber's mouth couldn't help trembling: "As expected of you, it's still a familiar style."

"This is not my style, this is the rule of the real society," Gao Wen shrugged, "Faith activities are tools to maintain social cohesion, tools should not have their own will to use.

"In a sense, I would welcome them to have some illegal assembly - it would give the council enough reason to ban it. We have closed down countless troublesome churches in the past few years, but recently they have learned to be smart. I have learned to hide and hide, and I very much hope that they can return to the simple state of holding underground mass against the ban of the council, when the trial monks of the arbitration tribunal were full and happy every day."

Amber thought for a while, and couldn't help but look back at the gods who were listening to Gao Wen's speech in the assembly hall. The expression on her face was a bit strange: "Although there is nothing wrong with what you said, I always feel that we are talking in front of the gods." Is it a bit inappropriate to discuss this face to face?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Faule, the God of Winter and Mountains, suddenly say, "What's inappropriate, how reasonable is it? Besides, I quite like to hear it."

"That's all. If you are really interested in the affairs of the Theocracy Council, I can ask someone to send you some information later, and you can study it yourself." Gao Wen laughed, and he suddenly felt these various "humanity of God" They are all quite interesting, they have such distinct personalities, different emotions, their own likes and dislikes, and at the same time they love the world so much - talking to them is like facing a group of people who can open their hearts Friends, as long as you can adapt to the oppressive aura of a powerful existence and get used to the feeling of talking with "God" on an equal footing, this will be a very interesting experience.

"Then the general process of this matter is decided like this." Finally, Gawain scanned the entire assembly hall, concluding this conspiracy that is destined to change the fate of the entire world, "We will pass through the world and the gods." In a cooperative way, large-scale sacrificial activities are held around the world, and in the process, mortal weapons are sent to the Kingdom of God. These mortal weapons sent to the Kingdom of God are tentatively code-named 'Wu De';

"While the sacrificial ceremonies are being held in various places, the Disobedient Courtyard will serve as the main window for future exchanges. The council will leave a long-term open secure communication terminal in this gathering place. Through this terminal, the gods who visit this place can directly contact To myself or the person on duty on the council.

"On the other hand, if we need to contact a certain god, we will still use today's process - we will send letters to the Kingdom of God through the 'windows' in various churches. If it is, we can directly say in the letter If it is something that cannot be directly mentioned in the letter... then leave a code, and you will come here after seeing the code.

"In any case, we must communicate through the above-mentioned channels as soon as possible. Remember, we must ensure tacit cooperation."

Gawain's expression was very serious, and the gods listened to the order of an earthly emperor with the same seriousness. After Gawain's voice fell, Flora, the goddess of spring, asked, "What is the secret signal to call the meeting? Or is it the same as before?" Is it also marked with shadow dust?"

Speaking of this, she suddenly shrank her neck, looked back at the "colleagues" who were nervous at the same time, and then added: "I just want to make sure, if there are shadows and dusts in the future, we all will It’s better to make mental preparations in advance.”

Gao Wen thought for a while, and just as he was about to nod, he suddenly thought of the fact that he and Amber were about to go to the Kingdom of the Shadow God. He thought that if he and Amber left, the person on duty of the council might not be able to get Shadow Dust as a "sign" ", and quickly changed his mind: "Since we have reached a consensus today, there is no need to use shadow dust as a symbol for subsequent contacts, let's agree on a common code word..."

He paused when he said this, and looked at Belsetia and Rosetta aside: "What do you think?"

"I would like to say that the most suitable password is 'Ragnarok', but these words may alert the half-body of the gods," Rosetta shook her head, "What does the Silver Queen think?"

Belsetia thought for a while, then her eyes suddenly fell on Gao Wen.

"The dusk of the gods is the dawn of the world, but Cecil already has a sky fortress with this name, so let's change it a little..." She smiled and said word by word, "The sword of dawn... what do you think? how?"

"The Sword of Dawn...sounds good." Gao Wen was stunned for a moment, and also smiled, then he turned his head and looked at the gods in the assembly hall.

"Then we agreed to use 'Sword of Dawn' as the code phrase. If we see this word in the letter, we will come here to discuss important matters."

Chapter 1547

After the conspiracies of the kings and gods of the world were over, those stalwart figures walked towards the dark depths at the end of the wasteland one by one, just like when they came, and those swaying and tumbling chaotic mist were like an endless sea of ​​darkness. At the end is the kingdom of the gods——Gao Wen stared at their huge backs, as if he was watching a group of prisoners walking slowly back to the cage.

The chains of these prisoners have been removed, but in order for the world to be free of chains, they still need to endure some time in the cage, but the good news is that the final day of liberation is approaching, Ragnarok has opened, Earthly dawn is not long away.

The gods left one by one, and the huge assembly field soon became deserted, only the figure of the god of commerce, Bouval, remained at the end. He seemed to get up and leave, but stopped suddenly before leaving , turned and looked in Gawain's direction.

Gawain looked at this giant-like middle-aged deity in robes, and asked curiously, "Is there anything else?"

"Ask you some questions," Boval said very frankly, and then came to Gawain in two steps, sat cross-legged on the ground very casually, and put the big book he had been holding in front of him. Putting it on a stone, this unmannered behavior doesn't look like a god at all, but it's extraordinarily like a god, "These things have troubled me for a long time."

When the heavy book was placed on the stone, there was a "boom" sound, and when the giant-like god sat down, the ground shook for a while. Gawain felt himself shake, and then his eyes fell. On the cover of that big book, his eyes became strange in the next second, because he saw a few large characters on the cover - "Basic Principles of Modern Economy".

Gao Wen: "...Why are you watching this?"

"Before Ms. Ye found me, I was watching this," Bofal said with a serious face, "This is one of the few 'freedoms' in the days when I was helped on the throne of God."

Gawain looked thoughtfully at the big book that Boval had laid out, and after pondering for a moment, he asked, "Do you want to use this method to 'get out of trouble'?"

"It's not necessarily about getting out of trouble," Boval smiled, "Maybe I can also use this to allow myself to keep up with your footsteps a little bit, although I know it doesn't make much sense to do so, because at that time I was tied to me. The power mainly comes from the trend of thought, and my own cognition has little influence on the trend of thought, but even if I can keep up with it a little... Of course, I don’t seem to need this now, but I find that the things you brought Still fun."

Gao Wen was stunned for a moment, and for some reason, he thought of the three Fengrao sisters who asked Amoen about planting vegetables. He suddenly realized one thing-the gods, or the "human nature" of the gods, have the same human nature as ordinary people. Curious.

So a "humanity of God" who is curious, capable of learning, and possesses seven emotions, six desires, joys, sorrows, and joys... Should he be considered a mortal or a god?

These unreasonable thoughts flashed through his mind and did not bother Gao Wen for too long. He just laughed suddenly and pointed to the big book: "Then you ask, I may not be able to answer all of them, but as long as I If you know, I can tell you."

……

"...Gods of nature and goddesses of magic are not the only ones who actively seek solutions. In fact, before I came to the door, many gods of this season's civilization were more or less aware of the hidden dangers in the trend of thought, and began to work within their capabilities. Find a way out of trouble."

In the center of the endless gray-white desert, Ms. Ye's voice came from above the majestic throne, her tone was calm as if she was chatting with an old friend.

"This is a very interesting phenomenon," he continued, "over the past 100 million years, the civilizations on this planet have changed from season to season, but no matter what season it is, the gods behind them are all The slowest to respond and the most passive to act, and this is completely in line with the operating logic of the "Shackles of Thoughts"—but the situation has changed in this season of civilization. Curiosity, and has shown a strong ability to act even under the constraints of the god position.

"The God of Nature and the Goddess of Magic are the representatives of the successful 'breakers', and besides the two of them, there is also the God of Holy Light who took the initiative to break through the shackles of the priesthood, the God of War who took the initiative to seek death in the lower realm ahead of time, and the God of War who tried to break through. 'Information closed loop', the god of business who actively contacts information in new fields...the last one impresses me the most."

On the stone pillar in front of the throne, Wilder's voice finally came: "You didn't mention this when you came back."

"Oh? Didn't I mention it? I probably forgot," Ms. Ye chuckled, "That scene was quite interesting. When I knocked on the door to visit the Temple of Wealth, I saw Boval sitting on the ground, holding The "Fundamentals of Modern Economy" that was sacrificed by the believers is there, and there are all kinds of economics books around him. He sent oracles every now and then for the believers to send up. I have never seen a god who can study the knowledge created by mortals so diligently. He seems to want to use this method to prevent himself from losing control, or to delay the time of losing control as much as possible... This makes me very move."

Wilde asked in a timely manner: "Ah... then what?"

"Although I was very moved, I still gave him a stick and turned him into him," Ms. Ye sighed, "If he started studying ten years earlier, it might be too late, but it's only one year away from 'graduation'. There is no time for him to study modern economics from scratch, so I had no choice but to graduate him early. Now that I think about it, Boval was probably stimulated by the fall of the God of War, so he thought of using knowledge to change his destiny..."

Wilder was stunned for a while, and finally couldn't help saying: "Can knowledge change fate in this way?"

"Almost, anyway, that's how the entries recorded on your book page are used," Ms. Ye said nonchalantly, and then added with a smile, "Actually, it's not just Bofar, I'm still in Blood God There is a whole set of "Modern Contract Theory" found behind the throne, and Nefali's temple is full of "Cecil Film Weekly" and "Idol Beat"-do you know how shocked I was when I saw those things ? It was as shocking as when a lot of memories related to the old rice dumpling suddenly appeared in my mind..."

Wilder seemed a little confused by Ms. Ye's words. He was silent for nearly half a minute before suddenly opening his mouth: "But why did this change happen? Why are the gods behind this season's civilization so different from those in the past one million years?" Huge difference? Could it be... this change is also caused by the order implemented after the resurrection of Gawain Cecil?"

Ms. Ye pondered for a few seconds, then shook her head lightly: "No—although I admit that what Lao Zongzi did after his coffin was unmasked has indeed brought great changes to the world, and it will definitely be in the long run. The future affects the development trajectory of the entire world, but these changes can only affect the future, and the many characteristics of the gods... can only be determined by the 'past', which was created during their birth. The combined result of many factors at play."

"Determined by the past..." Wilder pondered, "What would be at work? What makes the gods of this season of civilization so different?"

Ms. Ye didn't speak for a while, and he was silent for an unknown amount of time before suddenly raising his head to look at the pale sky beyond the boundless sky of the Shadow God Kingdom—he still remembered that there was a time beyond that pale sky more than 180 million years ago. There are countless terrifying and indescribable things floating, those are the remains of ancient gods and the projections of ancient civilizations left in the long years before her, but even the shadows of gods cannot persist in the chaos and nothingness outside the kingdom of God For so long, now, those phantoms that had tormented him have disappeared for many years.

As the most special of the kingdoms of the gods, the kingdom of shadows has been quietly operating in the deepest part of the deep world for millions of years, and the era that Ms. Ye is familiar with and knows has long been wiped out in the passage of time. It was completely clean, but he knew that outside his country, which was forgotten by the world, the cycle of time had never stopped, and everything he knew was still repeating itself, beside those young gods, in their kingdom of God Outside the barrier, the remains of the fallen gods from generation to generation and the projections of civilizations behind them revolved around the countries like an ancient galaxy, and the wailing from the dying civilizations of ancient times resounded endlessly throughout the deep world.

Those layers of ruins left by the destroyed ancient civilizations are a kind of curse, a horror that every new god has to face after opening his eyes in ignorance, even an ancient god like Ms. Ye He also suffered from it, but at this moment, He suddenly realized that the tomb of the defeated may not only be a curse, but also a blessing.

After season after season of civilization's resentful end, after generation of gods dying slowly and passively, their residual shadows in the deep may at last have had some effect.

"Maybe... the quantitative change has caused the qualitative change," Ms. Ye said softly, as if she was talking to herself, "Is it because the sailors asked me to wait for reincarnation here because they expected that this day would come sooner or later..."

"What did you say?" Wilde heard Ms. Ye talking to herself, but couldn't understand the other party's intentions, "Does this have anything to do with the sailor?"

Ms. Ye didn't respond, he just got up from the throne suddenly, then turned around and looked at his "post" for millions of years, his eyes fell on the simple stone seat, under his gaze, the throne A little bit of light suddenly appeared on the back of the chair, and then a bright star map emerged in it. Shining stars are orbiting in the vast universe, and many of them have eye-catching marks and lines connecting each other around them.

On the border of the star map, you can see a channel that is gradually disappearing, which is the direction where the sailor sent back the signal for the last time, while inside the star map, you can see that many stars are marked with "prosperity", "decline", Words such as "germination" and "desolation", there is another very obvious dark zone on this star map. In the area covered by that dark zone, almost all the stars are marked as "recession" or "desolation", that is, It's as if an invisible abyss devouring everything is gradually sweeping across the universe, crushing civilizations on the stars.

But at this moment, the edge of this dark zone has gradually approached the center of the star map, and two planets that are close to each other and marked as "prosperous" are the first to bear the brunt, and it seems that they will soon fall into the invisible abyss that devours everything middle.

But Ms. Ye's eyes did not fall on those two planets, she turned her eyes to another place, which was the edge of the lower end of the dark zone, and a celestial body marked as "Xing Xing" had already touched the dark area. Boundary, after the changes on the astronomical scale are condensed into such a small image, even Ms. Ye can't tell with the naked eye whether the dark boundary is really moving forward, but she seems to feel something, and her eyes are fixed on it. With that little glimmer.

It blinked twice, and "prosperity" was marked as "decline", and almost in the next instant it was marked as "barren".

It became dim, soaked in darkness, waiting for the next reincarnation.

"'Tomer-III' went out." Lady Ye said softly, and then he slowly turned around and sat back on his throne, as he had done most days in the past million years.

Wilder fell silent, the most thrilling shock among the stars lifted the veil a little bit for this great adventurer, causing him to lose his words for a short time, until he didn't know how long before he suddenly said: "Set sail What on earth are you waiting here? Are you just waiting to see which civilization can survive the tide of magic and disasters?
