Deep Sea Embers

Duncan stared for a long time at the cube floating at the end of the black sun's tentacle, staring at the information on its surface that seemed to have gone to great lengths to convey it to him.

He was imagining, imagining the method and process through which this little metal cube was sent to this world—to this era.

This is a letter, a letter sent from the New World to the Old World. However, all the information that can prove this has been erased by some kind of power. Its maker may have tried countless ways to ensure that this cube Being able to "show one's origins", however, it seems that efforts in this area have been unsuccessful - but unsuccessful does not mean that it is meaningless.

Its appearance itself is an interpretation. Although this interpretation seems to be just Black Sun's extremely bold conjecture, at this moment, Duncan is extremely willing to believe that this conjecture is the only and correct answer.

In this silence, the low and cascading tremors of the Black Sun finally broke the silence: "The manufacturing process and execution method of this cube are beyond my understanding—beyond any knowledge system that currently exists in any city-state and has ever existed in the past. It also exceeds the technology that I know of in any world before the Great Annihilation.

"On the other hand, from the perspective of 'purpose', I can't find any reason for anyone to create and place this cube in the creation of the world - let alone even with the power of the ancient kings, It is impossible to send things into the Creation of the World, so the only explanation I can think of is that this cube comes from a world and era that I cannot recognize.

“I know all the history of this sanctuary—the only thing I don’t know is the future.

The future about the "new world". "

The brilliant and false corona at the edge of the black sun slowly expanded, and its flame-scorched tentacles stretched in the sea of ​​​​fire, and then slowly curled.

And its tentacles that spanned a long distance and extended to the door of the mansion always stayed steadily in front of Duncan, as if holding Numi. "Fire Usurper, this letter has no addressee, someone in the new world, or something." People have tried their best to send it to this era, but they have no way to ensure that this cube can be delivered to someone accurately. But I have a feeling that it is for you. "

Duncan could not describe his mood at the moment in words. He looked at the symbols and patterns on the surface of the cube. Although all the words were blurred and confusing, he still understood part of the information conveyed by this "letter" - human body (self) , rules, mathematics, children's doodles, and stars.

"They live in a rational and stable world. They can see the stars," Duncan murmured softly, as if to himself. "They live in safety, and

"Moreover, they have developed to a very high stage," Black Sun said slowly. "The manufacturing technology used in this cube is incredible, and the method used to send it 'here' is even more so. It has never been seen before." Something in any so-called 'blueprint'."

Duncan didn't speak for a while, while Alice standing next to her blinked curiously. Miss Doll looked at the black sun in the distance, and then at the cube not far away, even though she didn't understand "manufacturing technology" at all. , "development stage", "blueprint" and other complex and profound questions, but she could at least understand that this cube was a very important thing sent by someone, which made her finally couldn't help but break the silence out of curiosity: "Captain , then who could have sent this letter? "

Someone or a group of people in the new world.

The answer immediately appeared in Duncan's mind, but he suddenly hesitated when he said it. He pondered for a long time, and finally hesitantly reached out to the phantom cube - a cluster of flames filled with starlight. He jumped on his fingertips.

Black Sun's tentacles instinctively retracted when the flames approached, but finally slowly stretched out. At the same time, it reminded in a low voice: "This is just its phantom, the body of the cube is not here."

"I know, I just want to try to see if I can 'hear' or 'see' something," Duncan said. "There is no difference between the phantom and the body. It is enough to have an information correspondence." "

Black Sun stopped talking and just raised the cube phantom on his wrist slightly.

The flames at Duncan's fingertips merged silently into the phantom, melting into the water like rain.

He did not speak, but concentrated on sensing the information conveyed to him by the flame - he sensed the flame gradually fading in the emptiness. However, even with the eyes of the "inverse singularity", he did not look deep into the flame. to anything.

There is no echo, no "memory", and all the deep information carried by this cube seems to have been obliterated as it passed through the creation of the world.

Duncan waited patiently for a long time, until the last ray of fire completely dissipated in the depths of the phantom, nothing responded to him, and there was only emptiness deep in the cube.

Alice watched with wide eyes, not daring to make a sound the whole time, for fear of causing trouble. It wasn't until she saw the captain sighing slightly that she couldn't help but come closer: "Did you see anything?"

"No," Duncan shook his head slightly, "I'm afraid it has all been destroyed in the process of being passed on."

Alice testified, a look of disappointment appeared on her face: "Oh."

Duncan was also disappointed, but he didn't say anything more. He just waved his hand gently and looked away at the metal cube.

However, the moment he turned his eyes, there seemed to be an extremely illusory breeze blowing by, and a phantom-like light passed through his mind. In an almost hallucinatory moment, he heard a voice, which seemed to come directly from his head. Emerging from memory:

"I will try my best to see you again. I will definitely try to leave something behind -

Duncan turned his head suddenly and stared at the small cube.

The sound at that moment was so ethereal that he couldn't even determine whether it was connected to the cube.

He couldn't be sure whether it was just a "memory" that suddenly popped up in his consciousness, and the voice never appeared again. Everything seemed like an auditory hallucination.

But after a few seconds, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

The figure of the hunchbacked, old Cretan wearing a shabby white robe emerged in his mind - the old man walking with the backlight waved goodbye to him, and walked towards the long night of the end of the world without hesitation. , with almost no guidance,

He went to the end of the timeline to find that glimmer of light that would never have shone in the old world. Crete succeeded.

In the new world, he sent himself a message of peace.

And maybe it's not just a "safe and sound" message.

Duncan seemed to have thought of something. He slowly frowned and fell into deep thought. His expression kept changing. Alice on the side was keenly aware of the captain's changes. She couldn't help but feel worried. After hesitating for a long time, she couldn't help but step forward and pull him. Pulling Duncan's sleeve: "Captain?"

Duncan raised his head, but still had a solemn expression on his face. He casually pressed Miss Doll's hair and looked up at the black sun in the distance: "You just said that this cube came from the creation of the world." ? "

"Yes," Black Sun replied immediately, "this cube 'rose' from the depths of the Creation of the World, I am absolutely sure of this." "

"It sounds like you know a lot about the Creation of the World and have been paying attention to its situation," Duncan said with a serious expression. "None of the other 'ancient kings' seem to know as much about it as you do." "

'As you said,' the terrifying and huge eyes met Duncan's gaze calmly, and Black Sun did not hide anything anymore, 'I understand many things related to the creation of the world, just as I understand the entire Infinite Sea and still remember What did I say at the beginning? Over the long years, I have been "looking down" at the world

Hearing Black Sun's words, Duncan's expression changed slightly, and then he suddenly reacted: "Wait, you mean your body is actually in the creation of the world?!"

"No, I'm on the back side of it," Black Sun said calmly. "No one can stay in the Creation of the World," not even the so-called 'ancient kings'. That's a The place that can swallow up and tear everything apart is the end of the world itself - but aside from this, the creation of the world itself is an impeccable barrier."

"It is enough to completely isolate the entire boundless sea from the harmful and dangerous exiles, so that the toxic and corrosive influences on the sanctuary are blocked on the other side of the barrier - in the world The 'back' of the Creation is the icy place of exile. For ten thousand years, I have been here, right above everyone's head."

The backside of the creation of the world!

Duncan felt his heart pounding. A fact that he had ignored before suddenly came to his eyes. There was a "backside" to the creation of the world, and on that incredible "backside", the whole world Fear, the black sun, regarded as the oldest and most dangerous "ancient god" in the world, has been hanging high above the heads of all living beings? !

After a brief shock, Duncan suddenly figured out one thing - why the cube that "passed through" the creation of the world and was sent to this era fell into the hands of the Black Sun - because in this world, leaving The closest to the creation of the world is this ancient god who was "exiled" ten thousand years ago!

"Fire Usurper," at this moment, Black Sun's voice came, interrupting Duncan's thinking, "Why are you suddenly interested in the creation of the world?"

Duncan immediately put away his messy thoughts. After briefly sorting out his emotions, he looked up at the ancient "god" with a serious expression.

"I have a bold plan that may sound a little crazy."

"Oh?" Black Sun made a curious voice, "Can you tell me? Is it related to the creation of the world?"

Duncan thought for a while and nodded seriously: "To put it simply, I plan to detonate it."

Black Sun fell silent for an instant.

After an unknown amount of time, this twisted and indescribable "ancient god" suddenly emitted a series of weird tremors and grunts from his body, and then the chaotic sounds were reorganized into a rational syllable - "Huh?"

(Before I finish this book, of course I have to rush to recommend a few more books to make a cushion! This time I recommend "Embers of the Kendo", written by a panda who can wrestle. The author himself is also a reader of mine. The following is an introduction written by him. :

Xie Xuanyi fell into the North Sea, but under the water of the [Immortal Fountain], he unexpectedly ushered in a second life.

Witches, sword fairies, Buddhist disciples and demons are dancing wildly. The tide is coming, and it is another golden age!

In the previous life, my body was weak, but in this life, I used golden energy to refine my body and become a glazed diamond bone!

If all three hundred flying swords were broken, then an entire sword energy cave would be refined!

After milking, sacrifice to heaven. )
