Soul of Burning Steel

The voice from far away reverberated like a low tide in the evening, Ye Hai rang softly, this voice was like a song, chanting a poem that no one knew, and a sadness that I don't know how to express.

In the blood moon abyss, an indescribable sound penetrated the world barrier, Qiao Xiuya and Guang turned their heads together and looked in the direction it came from.

That is the location of Mycroft’s world, and the sound comes from that. In the blood moon, the huge human figure of light tilted his head slightly, and he blinked suspiciously. In the arms of the soldier, Xiao Guang jingled incomprehensibly. It heard the voice, but didn't know what it was talking about, but the tone was very familiar and kind, like an elder from afar, asking something.

Not only the Blood Moon Abyss, the legendary powerhouses fighting in other worlds, the old pope and dragon gods who are facing each other in the void, and even the gods in the boundless heavens hear this song-like voice, and they are no one. Can understand the meaning, can only feel that the voice seems to be lamenting, feeling that some things have passed away, only Faina, the sage of the East Sea, was slightly startled. In her ears, that kind voice transformed into something This kind of calling, as if the mother calling the child.

At the end of Mycroft’s world, the far sea beyond the distant sea, outside the Temple of the Earth, the old priest who was sweeping the dust on the ground in front of the huge rock temple held the handle of the broom in his hand and stayed in a daze. He heard a lot, far more than the others. With many words, he heard lamenting, exhorting, calling, self-deprecating and urgent desire. He suddenly thought of something, so he immediately turned his head and looked at the temple of the goddess of the earth, but the temple did not shine, the goddess idol was silent, behind The deity had completely left not long ago. Thinking of this, the old priest smiled wryly. He put down the broom in his hand, knelt down respectfully at the temple, and then began to pray.

Joshua landed slowly. He stood on the continent he had just shaped, frowning and looking at the seal of the Church of the Seven Gods that was isolated from the Blood Moon Abyss. He was silent for a while, and said: "Can you hear me? ,Light?"

"Ting Jing Bell."

The sphere of light swelled and shrunk again. Joshua nodded, his face still puzzled: "I can hear it, but I don't understand... As expected, why?"

Compared to the confusion of others, what Joshua is puzzled is not that the voice is incomprehensible. On the contrary, the reason why the warrior frowned is because in his ears, all the incomprehensible tones and notes are natural. The conversion into words he can understand: he can not only hear, but also understand easily.

It was an unspeakable voice. It seemed to wake up like a dream. At this time, it was lamenting the passing of the past, and it was admonishing all beings to be cautious. Its voice was full of self-deprecation and regret, and it called out the names of its own children in turn— —Those names are all obscure, like the divine words and names of ancient times, but one of them, Joshua, is particularly familiar, because it is the name of the **** Mother Earth.

In addition, it is desperately longing for someone to come. That voice exhausted its last ray of power to call out to the entire multiverse, but no one responded... Hearing this call, Joshua suddenly felt something in his body. Was awakened, a warm feeling is spreading.

The warrior froze for a moment. He was very familiar with what this feeling was. It was derived from the Azure Orb, the strength of the sage, and the burning flame of the spiral crown mark began to appear on Joshua’s forehead. Involuntarily, he entered the Soul Burning In the state of the king, Mars drifted away with the wind, making the surrounding flowers and trees of life grow more and more prosperous.

It is calling the sage... it is calling me.

In just a few moments, Joshua already knew the answer to the question-as for the question of ‘why me’, the soldier could no longer think about it, it would be better to say, why not him? He is the inheritor of sages, the king of burning souls, and the world savior who rekindles flames. He is the legend of the destiny. Joshua doesn't think this is any strange. The strong should be a whirlpool, taking all cause and effect into it. In his arms, the only thing that puzzled him was why the master of this voice—why would the world will, the steel python Mykrov, call the sage and him in this tone?

The saints have sealed the will of the world, shouldn't they be mortal enemies?

Yes, Joshua can be sure that this is the voice of the will of the world, just like the voice that Chuhao and he heard at the beginning, there is no different voice, and the soldier can be 100% sure of this.

"The wailing before being sealed? Or is it finally awake for a moment before it is about to sleep?"

All kinds of speculations were surging in Joshua's heart, but he had already made a decision in his heart-in any case, as witnessing the rise and fall of the entire Glory Era, and as the existence of the once master of this world, the call of the steel python Mykrov is extinct. It can't be just an ordinary howl or a dying struggle, and even so, as the mother of all things, humans should listen to the last words of this great man. This is the most basic respect.

Thinking of this, Joshua started to take a step, vacated, and flew towards the seal of the Church of the Seven Gods that separated the two worlds. Xiaoguang was held in his arms and rang out a hurried bell. It was asking the soldiers what they planned to do. , Qiao Xiuya replied quite casually: "I don't know."

"That's why I want to go."

Embracing this kind of emotion, Joshua came to the time-space rift that once linked the two worlds, before the current Seven Gods Church was sealed. He stretched out his hand, and the silver brilliance flashed against the holy light. As a person who can directly connect with the will of the ten thousand world sacrificial field, Joshua is the only existence that can freely enter and exit all the worlds that are regarded as traps. In the original plan, After dealing with his opponent with the help of light, he will go directly to other worlds to assist other legendary powerhouses in the Mycroft world to destroy all foreign invaders.

But now, according to the feedback sent by the will of the dominance of the sacrificial field of the ten thousand worlds, Joshua found that the legendary powerhouse in Mycroft’s world was not at a disadvantage, and the natural teacher was even chatting with the unknown behemoth, plus a total of Three legends came to the world where the warrior was, which greatly reduced the pressure on others. The old pope joined the battleship of the Holy Mountain and steadily blocked the attack of the five-color dragon god. The situation is very good, and he does not need to save the field.

Therefore, under the erosion of the power of steel, the holy seal appeared a small hole enough for one person to pass through, and Joshua simply passed through the cracks in time and space and returned to the Mykrov continent.

And at the moment when the warrior set foot in this world and came to the sea area of ​​the Abyss of Anos, suddenly, a great earthquake trembled, and the sea was tumbling. All the legendary powerhouses who were suppressing the will of the world at the seal suddenly felt their hands loose. They found that they were fighting hard, and the steel python who wanted to overturn the seal suddenly stopped resisting. This too strong contrast even made them almost unable to grasp the force of suppression-and at the same time, Joshua sensed that there was a The unusually huge will came to him forcibly at the cost of being unable to resist the seal anymore.

The will of the world chose to give up resistance, and the sword saint who was guiding the fall of Boundless Heaven felt that he was under a lot less pressure, but the many rune arrays that were originally used for suppression, sealing, and confrontation have also lost their effect, at the cost of this. , The steel python who gave up everything will get a short period of freedom before the self-regulation of the sealing circle is completed.

At this time, Qiao Xiuya was following that huge will, following the entire natural energy cycle, and entering the inside of the world he was familiar with.

The world where the Steel Python lives.

Joshua has entered here several times-whether it is Karlis or the stars, whether it is Ilgna or Grantia, he has witnessed plural world wills and talked with them very happily here, but Mike Luo Husband, the inside of the world where this warrior lives, he has never seen it before.

At this moment, Joshua looked up at the vast starry sky above his head. He saw the dim and mottled light of the starry sky that should have been so bright. Then, the warrior lowered his head, and he saw the dark gray mixed with black surrounding the vast land but there was no life. .

On both sides of Joshua, muddy and filthy blisters appeared in the two long rivers that symbolized the'past' and the'future'. The mixed light of black, red and brown flickered in the river, and the breath of death and chaos came from them. , Implying that the end is coming.

The warrior silently stared at the two rivers, and followed the direction and origin of their flow-then Joshua saw it, a black python coiled in front of it, flashing crimson red Shining eyes stared at him.

Gray particles permeated the atmosphere, like a haze that obscured the light and invaded the earth. Most of the body of the steel python Mykrov was obscured by the thick fog. Its original silver body was embodied in the traces of black decay, just like rust. It's like dirt, making it dark all over.

At this time, the steel python looked at Joshua who followed it into the world with a disappointed look. After a long time, it whispered: "You are not him... you are not a sage, you are just his heir."

"Is he gone, or has he left?"

A hoarse female voice came from the giant python's mouth, and she could feel the extreme exhaustion of the other party. Joshua looked up at the giant python that was so great that it was far greater than any other world's will, only the stars of the world of stars. The will can barely match, the gloomy galaxy above the steel python Mykrov, the body is coiled together, like a black mountain range across the star sea, it occupies one-third of the entire world, and the entire space seems to have become Narrow and suffocating.

In response to the question of the Steel Python, Joshua nodded and said calmly: "He has left and went to the depths of the multiverse to find the answer to order and chaos."

"Really, he's gone..." Hearing Joshua's answer, the black steel python slowly muttered to himself. Its tone could not hear disappointment or even resentment. The World Will sighed: "Sure enough , We finally failed."

Just as the Steel Python said this, Xiao Guang in Qiao Xiuya's arms suddenly shook uncomfortably-it was also taken by the warrior into the inside of the world-now Xiao Guang looked very uncomfortable, and steel The python Mykrov lowered his head slightly, and looked at the ball of light with interest: "A child of the will of the nascent world...you actually carry it with you? The sage and his descendants are always so strange."

"Heir, help it resist the chaotic atmosphere around it."

When Joshua finished speaking for the Python of Steel, she keenly discovered the confused chaotic power inside the entire world. As soon as the other side looked at her mouth, he had already created a shield of steel power for Xiaoguang, and waited until Mike Luo When he finished speaking, the warrior had raised his head and faced the giant python, which seemed to be able to crush himself at any time, Joshua still frowned, and then asked aloud: "The will of the world, the mother of all things— —Aren’t you hostile to the gods and sages because of the fall of the goddess of the earth? It is precisely because you want to destroy the world that we want you to be sealed."

"Why at this time, you didn't have the slightest hatred when you mentioned the sage, and did not have the slightest willingness to deal with me, the inheritor of the sage?"

This is the question that Joshua most wants to ask at this time-before returning to the world of Mycroft, he is already ready to join forces with many legends to fight the world will finally counterattack, even if he is drawn into the world. He is not surprised either, because this is within the range of Joshua’s prediction. Only the attitude of the other party is incomprehensible: the steel python should show its own anger, it should be like those memory fragments. , To curse human beings and all sentient beings, it should be the same as before, even if it is silent, it must call for powerful enemies in the multiverse to come and destroy the Mykrov civilization.

Because of this contradictory before-and-after comparison, he asked straightforwardly, without any euphemism or hesitation.

"Are you saying, my madness... Oh, it is indeed an extremely crazy action. Under the influence of chaos, I am no longer me."

In response to Joshua’s question, the huge steel python raised its head, the dark mottled starry sky above it, and the dark red eyes spreading black. Mycroft was silent for a while, as if it was recalling the past and thinking about the time. After ten seconds, it replied in a faint voice: "Although it is difficult for you latecomers to understand, at that time, the sage and I just wanted to do an experiment."

"experiment?"

Joshua repeated this sentence subconsciously. Because he had a premonition that he was about to get a subversive answer, he couldn't help taking a step forward and asked again: "What experiment?"

"Yes, experiment."

The huge black giant python closed its eyes, and said in a weak and incomprehensible tone: "An experiment on how to'transform chaos'."

With the calm narration of the steel python Mykrov, the other side of history hidden in the dark is slowly revealed.

Thousands of years ago, after the final battle, when the sky collapsed, the continent sank, and Mycroft's world was torn apart. Both the heavens and the oceans were plunged into indescribable chaos. After defeating all the enemies, the tired gods were helpless. Seeing their hometown on the verge of destruction, they were helpless, some wanted to leave, some wanted to stay, and with the silent support of the sages, the gods decided to stay and slowly restore their hometown.

At that time, the sage headed to the inside of the world, and he found the steel python who had just awakened from sleep, and discussed with him about the future of the world.

"At that time, the sage was at a loss. He seemed to be asking me, as if talking to himself... He said that we cannot be ignorant of chaos, we must understand our worst enemy."

Mykroff said so, its tone is as calm even if it is about sages and himself, only when the word chaos is pronounced, will there be a slight fluctuation: "We have fought many evil gods countless times, But no matter what, the reason for their birth can not be found... We know that the evil gods came from chaos, they are the remains of a world after the destruction, but why do the remains of the world become evil gods? What do they get from the destruction of the world Power? We don’t know anything about it."

Mycroft, the steel python, has a hoarse voice, as if it were a lady who has been seriously ill for a long time, but its words are not weak, but rather powerful. At this time, the will of the world seems to be repeating the words of the sage, and it asks one sentence after another. "How can we understand the origin of evil gods? Can evil gods be manufactured artificially? If so, can we reverse the attitude of evil gods and return them to the embrace of order?"

"Chaos and order are like opposite poles, one end is darkness, one end is fire, one end is ignited and becomes the fire of a new order, one end is gradually extinguished, returning to disorderly chaos-this is the case of the cycle of the multiverse, do we Can this process be reproduced, artificially transforming order and chaos?"

In the rhetorical question again and again, the image of the past seems to have a new explanation-the sage and Mykrov have launched a discussion about order and chaos deep inside the world, and they want to explore it. The principle is to find the inner connection and context between the two. Until the end, the dying steel python and the sage decided to make an attempt with themselves as the test object. It will try to convert the chaos and rely on its own strength to achieve the relationship between the two Of the loop.

This is the only way to save the world. If you don’t do this, even if the earth goddess and other gods sacrifice, it will only postpone destruction, because they themselves are just a part of the world, and their sacrifices are equivalent. Yu dismantled the east wall and made up the west wall. Only by guiding a new external force can the wounds suffered by Mycroft's world be completely repaired.

"It means that you and the sages made the decision back then?"

Hearing this, Joshua showed a hint of shock, and he asked doubtfully: "But why...why did it become the last?"

"Because I have not survived the erosion of chaos."

The huge black python whispered softly. When it came to this, its scarlet eyes flashed with indescribable light: "I'm crazy."

When the experiment failed and the flame went out, everything was plunged into an irreversible abyss. The bold actions of the steel python and the sages caused severe trauma to the world. The tide of chaos almost swept the continents and the oceans-thanks to the goddess of the earth. I discovered this in a moment, and stopped all the chaotic tides, otherwise the Mycroft civilization would have been destroyed thousands of years ago, and there would be no possibility of continuation.

And then, the crazy steel python almost turned into a Cthulhu—perhaps the first Cthulhu created by civilization and the world itself in the entire multiverse—at that time, it cursed everything, cursed itself, and cursed Everything that could be cursed was finally suppressed by the exhausted sages and gods at the core of the world. Under the influence of chaos, the unsuspecting gods also fell into chaotic civil strife. They started wars with each other, and countless should have survived. As a result, the gods fell, proclaiming the end of the Glory Era.

However, it is precisely because of this. Because the gods have passed away, the divine power of order spilled on the earth, and the world that was on the verge of death reappeared some vitality. The faint flame burned the chaos that permeated the entire continent, continuing the micro The unsearchable light of order, and the protected tribes opened the door of the sanctuary when all the chaos disappeared three hundred years later, and returned to this reborn but still fragile world.

Joshua silently listened to the narration of the Iron Python. He did not comment. It was only when the other party stopped the narrative that the soldier let out a sigh of relief and slowly said: "I know... this may indeed be another history. On the one hand, but why, mother of all things, why do you suddenly wake up from the chaotic madness? Why do you want to see the sage again, calling for him and his inheritors?"

The Steel Python didn't answer Joshua's question, it just watched the warrior quietly, with traces of holy light shining on the dark scales of its body, and Joshua quickly understood the reason.

It is a seal, derived from many legends of Mykrov and the seal of the gods.

Coming from the boundless universe, the divine power of the new gods of the Starfall Era gathered together, pressed from the outside of the world, the power of the gods, guided by the legend guarding the Quartet, hits the seal of the steel python. It is extremely strong and comes from the sage The divine light penetrates all darkness. On the eve of being completely sealed, the chaotic world will awaken from ignorance. It regains its own wisdom and reason. At the last moment of life, it chooses to find the sage and his successor.

As for why we should look for sages and why we should look for their inheritors, the answer is simple.

"I want to warn the sages, warn you not to use the power of chaos...that is something that cannot be controlled by reason and wisdom. They can only be burned by fire and then turned into embers of steel. In addition, everything used The methods are all wrong. No rational existence can resist the erosion of chaos. That is erosion from the origin of existence."

With its head hanging down, the huge black steel python and Joshua looked at each other. There was a deadly and decadent chaotic aura from its body, and a strong smell of rust spread across the inside of the world. The world's will paused, and then it was worn with exhaustion. In a self-deprecating tone, he whispered softly: "Those who die deserve to die, and those who die should be extinct. The dust comes back to dust. Everything comes from the embers and will return to the embers... I should have been a thousand years ago. If you die, nothing will happen if you don’t save me."

"The world doesn't need will, just like you and everything today, you can thrive without me-it would be nice if I could choose to die sooner."

The voice of the will of the world is getting smaller and smaller, it is silent, looking up at the already dim dome of the sea of ​​stars, and the decadent and degraded scenery inside the world confirms its words-even a will of the world can hardly resist the erosion of chaos, just like The purest clean water cannot be clean after a drop of ink is dripped. This is the relationship between order and chaos.

"What you said is very reasonable... and can explain a lot of questions, but you still have to be sealed. This is an unchangeable thing."

The steel python fell into a deep feeling of self, but when he heard these words, Joshua didn't move. He embraced the small light protected by the steel shield, and his face was as calm as usual-Joshua was right. The giant python that straddled the stars slowly shook his head: "We can't believe you, the mother of all things, you have been infected by Chaos once, once crazy, who knows what will happen this time?"

The warrior’s words are merciless. He is not the kind of person who will be moved by hearing a story. Indeed, what the Steel Python says may be true, but so what? The Glory Era is over, and the gods can never give up their seal of the most unstable element in the world, and the will of the world is destined to leave the stage of Mycroft's world.

"It doesn't matter, I never told you to give up the seal."

However, in response to Joshua's straightforward suspicion, the Steel Python didn't have any anger. It looked at the soldier, and even smiled with relief, and the red light in its eyes became brighter. The will of the world bowed its head and said softly: "I don't need your belief, child."

The steel python Mykrov stretched out his body. Its body was huge, but every inch was infiltrated into deep black by the chaos. The silver-white body of the steel python was neat and clean. They should be the last in this world. The existence eroded by chaos, but because of events thousands of years ago, it was contaminated earlier than its own people-the world will look around the inside of the world, and its eyes can see through the dark space, and see the current Mykrov world .

Gazing at the world, the steel python whispered: "The reason why I struggled to wake up at the last minute was not to justify my mistakes... I just want to tell you how many trenches and hardships we have traveled, breaking them. How many walls and obstacles have been-I just want to tell you how much blood and sacrifices your ancestors paid to get this simple result, as well as the present and future of your survival."

"Child, don't believe, sympathize, pity any chaos, you have to walk along the light of the flame, and walk on the right path... I don’t know if there is anything wrong with your current path, but move forward as much as possible, just We must remember, don’t follow our old path, it is a dead end with no exit, we have used our lives to help you verify this mistake."

With the completion of the reconstruction of the rune array at the distant seal, the chaotic aura on the body of the steel python became heavier and heavier, and the Holy Light began to wash the seal again, causing the inner side of the world to gradually collapse, which existed at the beginning of the creation. The ancient space and the will of the world gradually become flat under the impact of the holy light. The power of the holy sword Mistedin turns everything into a pure two-dimensional—corroded by this power, the python of steel It was stretched a little bit, and in the end, only inaudible murmurs could be heard.

"Goodbye, boy."

The seal came again, and the inside of the dark world disappeared silently.

Above the sky, half of the firmament space is protruding, and you can see it, as if endless holy light spreads above the world along the veins. A huge and incomparable plane is completely integrated into the world of Mykrov, which is suspended in the western mountains. Right above the sky, a holy beam of light connects it with the earth. Because of its existence, hymns and prayers are transmitted to the entire world along with white light and wind. Today, it is destined to be remembered in the annals of history, because of the gods. Will walk in the human world, because the heavens descend to the mortal world again.

And under this descending heaven, the former mother of all things fell into complete silence. It no longer resisted and accepted its own ending. The seal was strengthened layer by layer, and Mykrov, the steel python, would fall into the name The flat **** is used to repay the mistakes made thousands of years ago.

In the seventh abyss, the etheric dragon uttered a roar of dissatisfaction. After it noticed the disappearance of the blockade of the sacrificial grounds of the Ten Thousand Realms, it ignored the pursuit of the sage behind it, and directly penetrated the void and left the abyss. It stayed and stopped in its heart. Faina, still a little stunned, and a raging sea of ​​boiling lava returned to her comfortable lair.

In the world of dead silence, the dwarf master craftsman walked out of the fused mountain range, frowning, looking at the huge hole below the world, which penetrates the world-Leviathan was suppressed by the steel giant he summoned, but he was in the sacrificial field of the world After the blockade was lifted, the Void Behemoth pierced the mantle straightforwardly and escaped from the other side of the world back into the void. The old dwarf scratched his head in distress, and finally chose to sit on the top of the mountain to rest.

In the natural realm, Galanod and the mountain beast silently looked towards the direction of Mycroft’s world. There was no fight between the two. They quietly felt the fluctuations of the holy light coming from afar, and the nature teacher looked calm. But I don't know what thoughts are in my mind.

In the void, the five-color dragon **** had already left. After confirming that he could not break through the blockade of Eagle and the Sacred Mountain battleship, this **** could only choose to retreat—and this time of retreat, perhaps forever, solved the biggest hidden danger. The vacant gods will not leave any opportunity for foreign enemies. As long as the five-color dragon gods who have been on the blacklist have dared to reappear, waiting for him is the siege of the seven gods.

Many legendary powerhouses breathed a sigh of relief in the Quartet of Mycroft Continent, where the will of the world is sealed. This action mobilized the power of the entire world. It seems simple, but in fact, there can be no mistakes in every link. The time and space teleportation of the world sacrificial field must be effective, Eagle must be able to stop the five-color dragon gods, and the legendary powerhouses intercepted must block every enemy... Outside this time and space realm, there are other legends patrolling, they are vigilant. Monitor every detail of time and space, and prevent any civilization or existence that attempts to take advantage of it.

Above the waters of the Abyss of Anos, Joshua slowly landed on the surface of the sea. Because he controlled his mass and magnetic field, the sea did not set off waves comparable to a tsunami. The soldier embraced a small light, and he looked around this vast expanse. The sea—the sky is cloudless, the sunlight is refracted by the dust in the air and turned into a blue color, while the sea reflects the color of the sky, and the pure sea breeze blows through, making the world clear.

Silent, Joshua has nothing to say, and doesn’t need to say anything. He lowered his head and stared at the crust deep under the sea, the mantle under the crust, and the warrior’s gaze penetrated everything and looked towards the center of the earth. In the center, there was a holy light gleaming, and the holy light of the boundless heaven once again turned into an eternal seal. If nothing else, this light will still exist even after thousands of years.

[I am not just trying to justify my mistakes... I just want to tell you how many rifts and hardships we have traveled, how many walls and obstacles we have broken—I just want to tell you what your ancestors paid It took so much blood and sacrifice to have the present now. 】

ended. Joshua thought so.

The legacy of chaos and the will of the world are sealed here, and the disappearing past and dark history are buried to the deepest point. The Starfall Era buried the last wreckage of the Glory Era, and Mrs. Mike Rowe looked up at the starry sky. Their predecessors experienced hardships and had ill-fated destinies. , And they didn't do too much—the magic wave swept across the stars, the stars were dim, and evil was coming.

But even so, even if it is finally approaching, the road ahead is already a twisted vortex, and no one will choose to stop. With the last being of the Glory Era being sealed for eternity, the Starfall Era is unloading After the burden of the past, I can finally look to the future-the era of opening up the distant starry sky has arrived ~ www.novelmtl.com ~ After the biggest hidden danger is solved, everyone can let go of their hands and feet and show their skills.

Joshua could foresee this. The soldiers had already seen the day when Mycroft civilization returned to glory...because of sacrifice, because it never stopped. On the outside of the world, the sacrificial ground of Ten Thousand Worlds revolved around the world of Mycroft. The years have never changed, the stars have rotated and changed, the flames extinguished and reignited, and the river of fate has taken another unprecedented trajectory.

Things happen spontaneously, just as night falls and the day sinks.

The rebirth and inheritance of civilization repeats itself in this way, the Glory Era is completely over, and the Starfall Era is out of the haze of its predecessors.

Everything is as it should be, just as the night is gone and the sun is rising.

Joshua looked at the newborn sun, and the little light in his arms jumped out and floated happily in the sea breeze.

It's time to look into the distance and to the future.

——Volume Twelve, The End of the Great Development Era
