Dragon Clan: Restart your life

"Lao Mei, Lao Mei, it's true! Look, she can still move!" Norns poked the priest with his elbow and whispered, "Is she the person you have been looking for?"

The priest glanced at her and wondered if this silly girl had been with her sister-in-law for a long time and was deeply involved in the drama?

Immediately, he stopped talking to Norns and focused all his attention on the person in front of him, his whole body tense.

He had no desire to take action, and the other party's identity made him unable to resist.

If she is really the one he is looking for... At this moment, the priest still can't believe that the other party took the initiative to find them.

Not because it is unbelievable, but because I believe it represents a crueler truth.

The veiled uninvited guest walked towards them on the waves, parked slowly in front of the boat, glanced at the boat under the two of them, and asked: "There are countless ways to cross the sea, why did you choose this boat?"

Before Norns could speak, the masked woman opened her lips again:

"Oh, so as not to scare the little guy."

She looked sideways and waved slightly. The eyes of Norns and the priest followed her movements. The waves continued to surge under the night, and nothing seemed to happen until a long whale call came from the distance. , echoing between the sky and the sea.

The priest's eyes narrowed.

Norns stabbed him again in anger: "Why do you have the nerve to say that you raised this thing?"

The priest looked into the distance silently and said, "Have you been raising it all these years?"

Knowns looked at this old guy who didn't speak human language suspiciously. He was surprised that he suddenly said a "dialect". Can he respond to the government's call to speak Mandarin?

What came out of the priest's mouth at this moment was a language that had never appeared in human history. It was as solemn and majestic as a copper bell, and like thousands of prayers gathered together, it had a shocking majesty.

The priest retracted his gaze towards the distant sea and fell on the woman. His temptation was self-evident.

"Not really, I just come to visit occasionally." The masked woman looked at him, "Are you curious as to why in this era, your existence suddenly has value and meaning?"

On the night when he first went to sea to find Leviathan, the priest once explained to Norns that six arks were built in the Second Sun Period when everything was irreversible. Each ark carried the seeds of life and was the end of the disaster. The hope of rebuilding the world in the future is like the ice cellar in Kassel.

And he is the sixth and the last remaining "ark".

He carries a large amount of genetic information. In a sense, he was selected to be the God of the New Era. Relying on this, he can recreate most of the creatures in the Second Sun Era and let the fire of the Second Era reignite in the new era.

But he survived, but the Ark project failed one after another in the third and fourth solar eras.

He sensed that there was some kind of dark force interfering with the continued birth of creatures in the old world into the new world. Since then, he began to look for proof of the existence of the First Solar Age.

A certain boss who had been dead for many years had proven to him the existence of the First Solar Epoch while he was still alive.

Although that guy is unreliable and always has the heart of the Holy Mother...

But Metatron never doubted a word of his.

He said that the world should have light, and the world really does have light. He said that if you want to save the world, you will save the world even if you burn yourself.

In the end, he not only became the first light to illuminate the world, but also became the last light to illuminate the dim world. All creatures in the Second Sun Age bathed in that warm light and fell asleep.

Don't wake up again.

The priest silently clicked four times on his chest, which was in the shape of a cross. At this moment, he missed his lost friend, as if he saw a man who peacefully came to an end thousands of years ago, turned around and smiled at him, saying that if he could really If he lives to the next century, let him see how the creatures of the next era fare.

Since then, he has inherited the will of his friend, the legacy of the Second Sun Age——

Witness where this ever-cyclical world will go.

"Since it was you who took action, there is a reasonable explanation for everything." The priest whispered, "But I am curious about why, what made you make the change?"

"It's a pity." The masked woman said calmly, "I have never interfered with your behavior. What hinders you is the elemental sea."

"The Sea of ​​Elements?" The priest was stunned, "You mean...the underlying rules of the world have changed?"

"As expected of the second-in-command of the Second Age." The masked woman turned her gaze, "The changes in the world mean that the elemental sea is in turmoil, and the underlying rules that maintain this world will naturally change. This is why the secret key loses its effectiveness. The fundamental reason. The environment has changed, and the creatures of the previous era naturally cannot survive in the new world."

"Then why did we usher in...return in this era?" the priest asked.

"Because the elemental sea is flowing back." The masked woman looked up, as if looking at the empty ocean in the sky above her head, which was undulating tonight like the sea under her feet. "It has returned from the fourth solar era to the second sun. Ji, this is the era that once belonged to you, so Leviathan can survive, but it is a pity that you will say goodbye to this era soon."

"...The coming one is the First Solar Age?"

The priest's pupils shrank suddenly. Although he didn't understand what [reflux] meant, he roughly understood what this person said.

So is this the secret of the last era?

It is an end and a beginning, an end and a starting point. The so-called cyclic calamity is also a part of the cycle.

"Back to the time of the First Solar Period...that is, the moment of the end of the world?"

The sea breeze was slightly cool tonight, and the priest said calmly, "What exactly happened in the First Solar Period? Why does returning to the First Solar Period mean the end of everything?"

"Do you know where the power of your so-called holy light, the light of the soul, comes from?"

The sea breeze coming from all directions gradually blew away the diffuse white mist. She stood on the sea, letting the night wind blow her hazy veil, revealing her true appearance for a moment, and softly asked the theme of tonight.

The priest also gave the answer.

"No matter what kind of power it is, its essence is that the spirit interferes with reality and leverages the rules and elements."

This is the essence of all power. Whether it is the so-called holy light, the power of the soul, or the spirit of speech, in the end they all reach the same goal. The supernatural power they leverage is the manifestation of elements and rules.

"I'm asking about the deeper nature." The woman said calmly, "Do you think you have leveraged the rules and elements? But where are the rules and elements? All power ultimately comes from the feedback from the elemental sea."

Norns frowned slightly, and it was correct to say that all power came from the elemental sea.

The priest was silent for a moment. He felt that the other party was taking the topic to the elemental sea, and if the other party had no intention of avoiding his previous question, then...

"The Sea of ​​Elements... was born in the First Solar Era?" He made an astonishing guess based on his intuition. "When it flows back to the First Solar Era, the Sea of ​​Elements will return to its original form until it collapses? This is the source of the disaster, and also Why did everything end?"

But the masked woman did not give him a positive reply, but said to herself: "Have you heard a sentence? Everything in this world has a price tag, and everything has a price tag from the beginning. Why do you Do you think that this power to change the rules does not require any price? You seem to have subconsciously ignored what you have to pay for this power."

The priest was shocked: "What does this mean? What price does this power need to pay?!"

They never think about it because they have never faced it.

No one has ever had to pay a price for these powers. Those who are qualified to master them are born with it, such as the Dragon Clan. This is a power they are born with, just like breathing. Who will pay the price for breathing?

Is there an air fee?

The woman seemed to see through his thoughts and sneered: "Don't you think you need to pay a price for breathing? It's just that someone paid the price for you."

“Plants, sunlight, the inherent cycles of the world, pay the price for human breathing.”

"And it is this world and all the creatures living on it that pay this weight for you."

"This is the essence of the calamity of the cycle. There is never free power, it is just that this world pays for you."

The truth revealed from her mouth caused the priest and Norns to fall into absolute silence. Their eyes were in a trance, and their brains fell into an unimaginable blank.

Truths are always hard to accept because they are often so brutal.

When the priest came to his senses, not long had passed. The veiled woman was still standing there, but she was leaning over and gently stroking the huge whale holding the boat in the air.

"I can't understand what you said, no... I don't want to accept your statement." The priest took a deep breath and said, "But if what you said is true, what does this have to do with the return of the elemental sea? ? If according to what you said, the world should continue to cycle endlessly, and whenever the world cannot support it, it will be a restart of the world, then why will there be a backflow? What changes have occurred in this century that are different from the past? "

"An accident?" The woman seemed to be saying to herself, "You seeing me here is one of the accidents, but the biggest accident in the world... is naturally the birth of the brothers."

"Are you referring to the pair of supreme monarchs of the Dragon Clan?" The priest was keen, and immediately frowned and said, "Why did they change? Their power is indeed powerful. The high heavenly monarch has not yet become the true supreme monarch, but he has already No different from the Supreme, but how can this change the cycle that has lasted for four eras?"

"No different from the Supreme?" the woman said with a faint smile, "When did you have the illusion that you have seen his true strength?"

The priest was speechless.

If the antagonism between brothers and the war that determined the second generation of the Black King to usurp the throne could not reveal the true strength of the Lord of Heaven...

Then he really had nothing to say, and at the same time he couldn't understand what the person in that battle was thinking.

Are you really looking for death?

"You think you are witnesses to the world, but in fact you know nothing and don't know what his appearance represents. But this cannot be blamed on you, because you have never found traces of the First Solar Era."

The masked woman looked at Norns: "Your father is the supreme king of the generation, but not to mention that he cannot even protect himself from the disasters brought by the Sea of ​​Elements. Even he could not survive the tens of millions of years of the Sea of ​​Elements. baptism."

"And in the second era." She looked at the priest. "The 'Ye' back then transformed into a beam of white light that penetrated the sky and earth to delay the catastrophe of the cycle for seven days and seven nights. This was the limit, but it was still far from enough."

"And during the thousands of years that man drew the earth as a prison and sealed himself in the temple, he single-handedly prevented the backflow of the elemental sea and suppressed the riots of the elemental sea with one person's power."

"You have no idea what power is."

"He is the last variable in the birth of this world. He is the will of the world and inherits the will of the original creator."

"But he chose the wrong path."

"He should not have stopped the cycle of calamity from recurring. He could not let go of his people and could not bear the decision to go to the next era alone, which ultimately produced the wrong results."

"It is precisely because of his persistence that the elemental sea that has been unable to move forward... began to flow back."

"This is part of the truth you are looking for."

"The one who brought about the current ending is the king of the dragon clan."

What he heard tonight was enough to shock him. It took him a long time to digest it. The priest was silent for a long time and asked:

"Is the situation really that bad? If we guessed correctly, you should be the one who sent him to restart the timeline."

"Since you chose to send him back to the current timeline, it means that the ending may not be irreversible."

At the end, his voice was loud and clear, and he stared at the woman's face behind the veil, looking for that glimmer of hope.

"It does exist." The woman said calmly, "As long as he is willing to sacrifice himself and cooperate with me to push the timeline back tens of millions of years, to a time when the elemental sea has not returned, we can change this outcome."

"What you mean is that the elemental sea will return to the so-called normal track, the catastrophe of the cycle will continue, the world will be restarted, and all creatures in this era will still perish, and the price is that he who did not have to die will have to pay the price with his life?"

Norns, who had never spoken, suddenly said.

"Yes, this is the price of taking the wrong path." The woman said calmly, "He was the one who created this ending. Naturally, he will sacrifice himself to set things right."

Knowns sneered: "Everyone has to die anyway, so why bother to clear up the chaos? Let's hold a grand wedding together before the end of the world and watch the sunset, isn't it?"

The woman fell silent for the first time.

She sighed softly and said: "This is the biggest headache for me. Fortunately, I have given up trying to persuade him."

"There is something I want to ask you." The priest suddenly changed the subject.

He slowly turned his head and looked to the other side. The sea should have been empty, but now there was another guest suddenly visiting.

He stood quietly on the sea, seemingly waiting patiently for their conversation to end.

"In the last life... who imprisoned or killed us so that we did not take action at the last moment, was it you or the second generation supreme of the Dragon Clan?"

The priest's eyes were sharply focused on the second-generation Black King, Frisis, who had woken up at an unknown time and quietly returned to his peak state!

Frisis looked at the veiled woman calmly: "Are you here to stop me? This seems to be a violation of our covenant."

The woman's red lips parted slightly and she said, "Because I have found a better ally."

Hearing this, Frisis looked at her deeply, but without saying a word, he turned around and left with fluttering wings.

"Is this... a moment of life and death?" Norns murmured as he looked at Frixis's leaving back.

No one knows this person's strength better than her.
