Extraordinary pedigree
Chapter 778 [Secret Chamber and Screaming Demon]
Seth's voice echoed in the silent space.
The face of the fourth sword bearer in the Kingdom of Heaven remained calm, but his golden eyes revealed a deep luster.
He was thinking about Set's words full of riddles.
He had become accustomed to the habit of people on this land not speaking human language in order to avoid the interaction between information authorities.
Therefore, Xia Xiu's mind was stripping away the unnecessary symbolic metaphors in Set's words, pointing directly to the core message hidden behind the words.
It is certain that the "brave new world" in Set's mouth is the same as the new world pursued by the Cogwheel Orthodox Church. They both have one characteristic.
- Describes a global abnormal event that affects the entire Terra.
In the words of the ancients, when the event occurs, flowers will suddenly bloom around the world, covering most of the land.
The climate becomes unusually pleasant, air pollution disappears, and the environment presents an unprecedented beauty and harmony.
People inexplicably realize that this event foreshadows the inevitable end of the world, violent incidents are significantly reduced, and society tends to be peaceful.
The event occurred within 24 hours before the extinction of global life, similar to Terra's "last glimmer of light".
This is undoubtedly a Meem doomsday event - all the creatures on Terra will be "euthanized".
But who has such great power?
The Supreme Divine Entity?
The unknown Meem virus?
The stars?
Xia Xiu tilted his head slightly, his eyes fell on the white pigeons that were still pecking on the ground. The pigeons seemed to be completely unaware of the tense atmosphere around them, and were incredibly quiet.
And Saint George, who was standing next to Xia Xiu, obviously said very directly to Set's riddle man behavior:
"Scaremongering."
The Tenth Hero certainly pays attention to the information said by the Ancients, and he is also very alert to the [Crisis Sequence] that may involve the destruction of the world.
However, this does not mean that he will be afraid of these doomsdays.
The Kingdom of Heaven has faced, contained, and destroyed many [Crisis Sequences] that are enough to destroy the world.
So, he naturally will not be afraid of them.
Set's smile is still gentle, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if he does not care about Saint George's words.
He responded softly:
"Maybe."
These three short words seemed to imply a deep meaning.
St. George frowned slightly, and his palms clenched subconsciously, but Xia Xiu raised a hand to signal him not to move.
He withdrew his gaze from Set and fell on the group of pigeons again, his tone calm but with a hint of inquiry.
"Where did these pigeons come from?"
Set did not answer immediately, but raised his head and slowly pointed his index finger at the sky above his head.
"One of the twin portals in the sky... It seems to be called the Gate of Heaven by the residents of Terra now."
[Gate of Heaven].
It was one of the twin gates standing on the sky of Terra. Since its appearance, its existence has been like an untouchable mystery, lying between Terra's [Crystal Sky] and reality.
Even the high-level officials of the Kingdom of Heaven are very secretive about the abnormality of the twin gates, and they are always vague when they mention it.
And now, Set, the ancient, said a few words lightly, which seemed to link these "peace doves" with the aura of weapon nullification with the mysterious portal.
"The Gate of Heaven..."
Xia Xiu repeated in a low voice, frowning slightly, with a rare solemnity in his tone.
Various information about the Twin Gates flashed through his mind, among which some "miracles" inside the Kingdom of Heaven might be related to it.
It was the foundation of the Kingdom of Heaven that Mu mentioned - the [Spiral Road].
The [Spiral Road] connected the Twin Gates and led to them - Heaven and Hell.
Mu once said that the [Spiral Road] was a paintbrush.
The Twin Gates were scraps, the reflection of the world.
Xia Xiu had always guessed that the world he was in was one of the "reflections".
There were more and more puzzles, and so were the crises.
He couldn't help but ask:
"How much do you know about the Twin Gates?"
Set's expression was solemn, and there was a rare fear in his eyes, as if he was recalling some unfathomable secret.
He spoke slowly:
"I don't know what the thing behind the door is, but it gives me the feeling that it is related to my mission in Odepapadopoulos.
The thing behind the door is very similar to the secret room I have to guard."
"Secret room?" Xia Xiu frowned slightly, and a deep light flashed in his golden eyes.
Set nodded and continued:
"That is a blocked passage between the Great Hall of Odepapadopoulos and the Hall of the Morning Sun.
Like other passages - it connects 'here' and 'there'.
Unlike other passages, it is old and the steps are stable.
The light of the world has long left this place, and mortals are not allowed to walk."
His tone gradually became low, as if he was pulled into an unsettling abyss by memories:
"How can I describe what is behind the secret room...'the formless form'.
It is a twisted, inverted spiral that forces life to succumb to order.
It is a phenomenon, a shadow cast against the light, and a control that prevents everything from transcending its sum.
It is a set of laws that spread upward, gradually eroding everything above it. It wants all things to perish, and every action must be sacrificed."
His tone was like a low hum crawling out from deep underground, and every word seemed to be telling some chilling truth.
"Something like entropy?" Xia Xiu rubbed his chin, his eyes filled with deep thoughts.
Seth shook his head with a complicated expression:
"Part of it, but not all of it."
"That's something bigger."
Xia Xiu was thoughtful and his tone became more cautious:
"Thermodynamics as a whole? The ultimate law of physics?"
Seth paused for a moment, then slowly shook his head: "No, it is a more complex thing. Its existence depends on the cognition of intelligent creatures. Human observation and understanding give it the concept of 'existence'. But in fact, it doesn't exist."
Xia Xiu frowned and repeated Seth's words in a low voice: "Relying on the cognition of intelligent creatures..." His voice was full of questions and thoughts.
Seth remained unmoved, his eyes far away, and his tone remained steady:
"I can explain it to you this way. What exists in the secret room is a kind of 'static void' - an abnormal area beyond common sense. In that area, no matter, energy or information exists.
It emits or absorbs no light, sound, heat, has no form or texture, cannot be traveled through or touched, and has no dimensions. "
Xia Xiu's brows furrowed deeper, suspicion and alertness flashing in his eyes.
Seth continued:
“Nonetheless, those who enter the area claim to see sights that closely resemble their surroundings – flora and fauna, buildings and even the sky.
In fact, those scenes are just the completion effect of the human brain on "emptiness".
This is an instinctive way of cognition to compensate for things that cannot be understood. "
He paused slightly, his eyes fell on Xia Xiu's face, and his tone became deeper:
"But the objects or creatures that enter that area will disappear completely without exception. They no longer exist in reality, as if they have been erased from the concept of existence."
Xia Xiu's eyes narrowed slightly, with a hint of suppressed surprise in his tone:
"Is there really such a thing?"
Seth was silent for a moment, and a complicated smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. In that smile, there was both fear of the unknown and some kind of indescribable relief:
The error-free version is being read! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.
"I also hope it doesn't exist, but the fact is that it is in the secret room, safe and sound."
When he said this, there was a hint of awe that could not be concealed in his tone, "That's why, I have to stay here and guard it."
At this moment, silence enveloped the space between the two of them. Xia Xiu was deep in thought and involuntarily stretched out his hand to press his temples.
He tried to connect Seth's words with the theory and logic he had mastered, but found that it was beyond his cognitive scope.
"If it is as you said, this kind of static void..."
Xia Xiu's voice was slightly lower, with a hint of uncontrollable suspicion and inquiry.
"Its existence itself is already a threat to reality."
Seth nodded, but there was no surprise on his face, only calmness:
"Its existence is a warning. An ultimate anomaly that we cannot understand and cannot control."
Xia Xiu's eyes were solemn, he leaned forward slightly and asked in a low tone:
"Do you know its origin?"
Seth nodded slowly, with a hint of complicated emotions in his eyes. He whispered: "They are the 'ghosts' of the universe."
"Ghost?" Xia Xiu frowned and repeated.
Seth explained in a slightly heavy tone:
"I call them - 'Xiang Shou Demon'.
They are concepts or consciousnesses left over from the 'pre-universe' or the 'multiverse of destruction'.
These universes completely disappeared due to unknown reasons, and the Xiang Xiao Demon was the only remnant. "
His voice paused for a moment, as if giving Xia Xiu time to digest the information, and then continued:
"Hostility and Screaming."
Seth's tone was low but clear.
“They are deeply hostile to the existing universe and view the new universe as a betrayal of their existence.
The Screaming Demon's scream is a painful, indescribable 'sound' that not only destroys the spirit, but can even tear apart the stability of reality, causing the surrounding matter and logic to collapse. "
Xia Xiu frowned deeper and asked in a deep voice:
"What about their form? Or, do they have a form?"
Seth shook his head, his expression becoming more solemn:
“They have no physical form.
The Xiangshou Demon itself is a kind of 'nihilation existence', and their power comes from the foundation of concepts, consciousness and reality.
They act on the world by distorting these fundamental elements. You can think of them as embodiments of ‘nothingness’, they exist in the void you observe, but their nature is not matter or energy that we can understand. "
Xia Xiu's expression gradually became complicated, and he repeated Seth's words in a low voice:
"Existing in the void of being observed..."
Seth nodded, his tone getting deeper and deeper:
"Yes. They are an existence that is completely contrary to the logic of our universe.
They have no form, but they are everywhere; they have no voice, but they scream in our consciousness.
Because of this, they are not only difficult to understand but also nearly impossible to directly combat.
Their influence is subtle, eroding the very foundations of reality and even those who try to understand them. "
Seth's eyes fell on Xia Xiu's face, with a strange sigh: "This is why their existence is called 'Xiang Xiao'. Their screams penetrate all logic and break through every attempt. Pry into their sanity.”
Xia Xiu was silent for a while.
Countless clues seemed to flash in his mind, intertwined and entangled, but there was no clear answer. His fingers gently rubbed the [Lever of Heaven] in his hand, feeling the slight vibration in it, as if he was also responding to Seth's words in some way.
Xia Xiu raised his eyes, a trace of inquiring light flashing in his golden pupils. His tone was low, but with a sense of oppression that could not be ignored: "Have you... ever fought against them?"
Seth's movements paused, and he subconsciously touched his neck, as if there had been some kind of secret trace there.
He then sighed softly, spread his hands, and said slowly:
"There have been a few times. At the beginning, it behaved like a realm of nothingness, nothingness that swallowed everything. There was no form, no sound, and even no sense of existence. But when it intersected with the projection of a higher being, we understood its true essence.”
Seth's voice became deeper, with an indescribable heaviness:
“Anything that enters this bottomless pit will be placed under an extremely sharp ‘fractal sieve’.
Its laws are absolute, and anything that cannot be reshaped or adapted to its rules will, without exception, be torn to pieces.
No exceptions and no mercy. "
Xia Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly, and his tone was calm but with a hint of chill:
"Such strict rules..."
Seth nodded and continued:
"What's even more terrifying is that this destruction is not limited to those beings who come into contact with it.
Like something impossible, the damage to the projections spreads upward, affecting and tearing apart all higher beings that rely on those projections for growth.
The fall of every projection will involve countless existences falling into the abyss. "
His voice was almost suppressed and calm, as if he was describing some kind of irreversible disaster:
"Those once arrogant higher beings - those conceptual entities that dominated countless dimensions, were broken, collapsed, and fell one after another - they had no resistance in the face of the absolute laws imposed in the 'things'. "
"What happened?" Xia Xiu repeated in a low voice, frowning deeply.
"Yes, the 'facts' rule."
Seth's eyes were filled with deep fear.
“Its rules are so severe that no life seems to be able to survive within them.
It is not simply entropy or nothingness, but something deeper that requires all existence to pay a price for continued existence.
Every action, every change, must be accompanied by sacrifice. "
Seth paused for a moment, and his tone suddenly became heavier:
“And the worst part is, it’s growing.
Recently, I have been working overtime at the end of the year... I am crazy about looking at pictures in word documents. When I was coding, I looked up information in Word and copied and pasted it to the publishing platform. However, after pasting one section at a time, the next section would accidentally appear duplicated. It seems that I still can’t code words. Although it is exciting, it is easy to make mistakes...
