Monsters Will Die if They Are Killed

"I'm from Atlantis."

When the messenger said this, Alan, who was still confused, was 100% sure that he had never heard of this word, let alone understood the meaning behind it.

But in the next moment, a large amount of information bursts out from the deepest part of the soul like a fountain.

The continent of Atlantis...

People of Candlelight...

The battle of the ancient gods...

Leaving Ilotar, parting from the sea of ​​clouds...

Returning after a long time, the Battle of the Eastern Coast...

In a short period of time, Alan's heart was filled with all kinds of information about Atlantis, and this information seemed to be "common sense" that he should have known, and everyone else should also know.

The battle for the eastern coast has been going on for more than ten years, and the five Manchu armies that the Light Alliance moved to the western theater have not conquered the lost territory. This is why there are not many Light Alliance tax collectors coming to collect taxes at the border where Huiqiu Village is located. , due to lack of troops, this area has almost been abandoned.

A series of settings and related information gradually rationalized everything he knew. Alan couldn't help but take a few steps back. He held his head and looked at the messenger in front of him in surprise: "You... you are Atlantis." …”

The messenger was silent and smiled.

Alan swallowed, and a series of information about Atlantis flashed in his mind... Now, the combined fleet from the Seventy-Five Shenmu Kingdom has captured one by one on the east coast of the Ilotar continent. A large stronghold, and the deep-water port in the Sea of ​​Fenrir was completely captured. They were fighting fiercely with the Alliance of Light. On the contrary, the dark countries had no intention of uniting with Atlantis to fight against the Alliance of Light.

Today, the situation on the entire continent is very delicate. The dark countries have repeatedly requested to take advantage of the situation to attack the western region of the Light Alliance, but they have been suppressed by the oracles of the gods. In fact, the Light Alliance does not want to waste too much power on Atlantis. The new enemy wants to turn around and suppress the dark kingdoms, their ancient enemy again.

But inexplicably, the gods of light and darkness remained astonishingly silent on this matter. They seemed to have forgotten all the hatred in the past and the countless bloody battles and blood debts between the two camps over the past thousands of years. Instead, they turned around and issued oracles, declaring that the Atlantis side was the real evil. 's archenemy.

This obviously cannot convince many people... The seeds of doubt have taken root and sprouted on the Ilotar continent, but no one believes the most bizarre speculations yet.

It was against this background that the internal agents of the Atlantis countries came to the vicinity of Gray Hill Village.

"The new-born Candlelight and the Second Prophet, we should gather our strength now."

The messenger, an ordinary-looking young businessman, bowed to the confused Alan and said: "The original prophet, Lord Shenmu Buyi, needs to stabilize the foundation of the continent of Atlantis and anchor the direction of the world... He cannot Take action as Candle Day."

"Many new strong men in various countries can also be used as the seeds of Zhu Zhou, but they are not perfect enough and need time to grow... During this period of time, if one Zhu Zhou raises the flag, I think, we The soldiers of Atlantis will definitely have higher morale.”

"Well, but technically speaking, I am actually from the Alliance of Light..."

Of course, Alan doesn't have any nostalgia for his hometown of the League of Light, but the same is true for Atlantis - he is unlikely to have any favorable impression or inclination towards a force that suddenly appears and then invites him inexplicably.

"Hui Qiu Village will definitely be swept away by the Alliance of Light."

The messenger stated the facts. He stretched out his hand and pointed at the surviving villagers of Gray Hill Village headed by Eve. Then he turned and pointed at Sergeant Guangyan and others who were tied up and looked defeated: "This village of yours is darkness. They came here to completely purify the hidden children of the various countries."

"How can you protect these people if you don't join Atlantis?"

The young man turned his head and looked at the ordinary people with worried faces...Sister Janna holding the child, little Tom with a runny nose, being led by his parents, Uncle Moissan in the blacksmith shop, and Aunt Kasla raising sheep. .

If no one protects these ordinary people, they will indeed be wiped out by the Alliance of Light.

And although he was strong enough to rescue Eve... but rescuing people and protecting people were completely different concepts.

This is a fact.

A very good reason indeed.

Alan had no intention of refuting originally. Since the other party had already given the reason, he agreed.

"Will you all come with me? Go to Atlantis?"

Alan called everyone in the village together and asked collectively.

The villagers looked at each other, and their sense of belonging to the Alliance of Light was also very weak. What's more, Sergeant Guangyan had previously confessed his intention to massacre the village, and the village chief turned out to be a secret agent of the dark kingdoms and almost killed everyone. , and also made everyone unable to trust the dark camp.

In this case, there was no other choice but to follow Alan.

At this moment, the Shadow Messenger has been killed by Alan, and the remaining Flame Sergeants are all dejected - they failed the mission, were defeated, and now they can't help but decide their own lives.

After hearing that Alan seemed to be planning to defect to Atlantis, the female captain knew that there was a high chance that she and others would be killed... If nothing else, when she and others were fighting the Shadow Messenger, Indeed, several villagers were killed.

What's more, how could Yalan keep them alive and provide them with their whereabouts for the Alliance of Light?

Sure enough, Alan came to Sergeant Zhu Guangyan with a knife in hand.

"Before I kill you, I still want to ask one last question."

The long knife ignited with the luster of the flame, and Alan looked solemn: "Why do you follow the oracle without hesitation when you receive it?"

"Obviously you can see that I didn't intend to be your enemy at that time, I just wanted to protect the villagers... Why do you have to follow the oracle's instructions?"

"I didn't think too much about it."

The female captain frankly confessed: "You asked why you listened, and I ask why you didn't listen? The oracles of the gods have never made mistakes, especially since you have been proven to be a descendant of the great evil god Zhu Zhou. "

"Kill us."

Aram killed them and gathered the people to pack up their belongings and move in the direction given by the messenger of Atlantis.

But the boy was still confused.

He still couldn't understand why some people would blindly follow the oracle without any thoughts of their own...

No, it’s not that I don’t have my own ideas.

But when their own ideas conflict with the oracle, they will definitely act according to the oracle.

[It’s very simple, Alan]

At this moment, Elias responded softly to his apostle’s doubts: [There are two relationships between God and believers]

[One is a contract—God responds to man’s wishes, and man responds to God’s expectations]

[One is hegemony - God controls all living beings with his own power, and all living beings act in compliance with God's will]

[Does it mean that all sentient beings don’t have their own thoughts? Perhaps, but the greater possibility is that the right of sentient beings to choose has been suppressed by a greater force]

Alan knew which kind of gods they were in the music world without even thinking about them.

He couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

[No need to sigh] In this regard, Elias still just stated calmly: [The gods of the covenant, after completing the agreement, if there is no new covenant, you will lose your job - they have never wanted to change everything in the world unless Everything in the world violates their agreement]

[The latter, the hegemonic gods, are destined to be challenged by other ‘hegemonies’ forever and ever]

[For example, other stronger gods, such as the rebels among the gods, such as...us]

[We, Zhu Zhou, are the eternal challengers of hegemony]

[Are you scared, Alan? 】

"……No."

After being silent for a while, Alan, who already understood the current situation, smiled: "I'm honored."

"I'm honored ... to stand with you."

Elias admires Aram - he always has the courage to change.

In the Prelude Era, he dared to reject the blessings of the gods and choose the next life. In the Ringing Era, he dared to fight against the village and save the girl he liked.

In the era of excitement, he can fight against fate for the sake of his daughter, and even by chance, issue a destiny-changing mission to the entire multiverse and pioneer space.

And even in the Final Era that no one knows about yet, he must be the kind of person who dares to change everything.

Compared with Alan's consciousness and essence, the gods of this big universe... are really a bit too bad and too normal.

He is not as stupid as the Sun Emperor, nor as pure as the Void Cult Leader, and he does not even have reliable subordinates to support the scene like the Demon Emperor.

But Elias wasn't surprised.

In this multiverse, not every enemy has his own firm beliefs and persistence that he will never deny.

Not every enemy has a self-consistent philosophy, or a moral logic that can be justified so that people cannot find many points of attack.

Some beings can do evil without any shame, and they can harm other people for their own benefit... Such people are the vast majority among the villains of the multiverse.

My own teachers and the enemies I have encountered are actually quite rare.

【lets go】

Thinking of this, the young god couldn't help but shake his head slightly, and he guided: [Our battle can not only affect the present... but also affect the past and the future]

[Let's go, Alan, let's change history...in a different way! 】

The power that changes history is setting sail.

Above the sky.

--future--

——Inspiring Era·Pantheon——

Sky God King Deus stands on the top of the sky of his era, and the cloud giant stares at the trajectory of the past.

The history that has happened, the melody that has been played, have all changed at this moment... The God King of Time and Yin and the Twin God Kings of Light and Darkness are now fighting bitterly with Zhu Zhou. There is indeed no winner or loser between the two sides, but to be honest, the situation is not optimism.

Deus may not be kind, and he may not have any virtues, but there is only one virtue that he has always insisted on, "being honest with yourself."

If you lose, you will lose. It is impossible for your three 'seniors' to defeat the evil god from a foreign land. And when the time comes, carrying the huge waves of the era, even if it is your own era, I am afraid that it will be crushed. .

——This cannot continue.

Deus thought this way, the heroic spirits summoned by the original Candlelight all possess great divine power. They are also the protagonists in their respective worlds. The timing they choose, the actions and changes they carry out are enough to strike a wedge in history. Cause more and more changes, and even induce chain reactions.

But they, the gods, cannot do this.

They cannot lead the development of the times, nor can they cause huge changes... Because if in one era, mortals are allowed to sing too loud a melody, then in the next era, it is very likely that the gods of that era will... Will be replaced by those who lead the times.

Gods pursue eternity.

Fate requires stability.

In the fateful world of music, how could the gods who pursue stability and eternity let the development of the times be beyond their control?

Therefore, the Alliance of Light and the Dark Kingdoms are so restrained in the face of the Atlantis Kingdoms that can innovate at will, reform at will, and sound their own melody at will.

[Damn it, if it weren’t for the original candlelight that stopped us, civilizations like Atlantis would have been destroyed long ago...]

Deus felt quite annoyed when he thought of this - no matter how vigorous the reform of civilization is, as long as the gods veto it, it will be impossible to realize the reform in the universe of music.

However, this time is different from the spontaneous reforms of the local civilization of the Yue Zhang Universe in the past. This time the reform is not a fragile flame, but a huge wave supported by the original candle day.

This huge wave began to sweep across the ancient world in the first era, and turned into a huge wave in the second era.

In the third era, the exciting era that I am in may evolve into an endless tsunami, and even the sky will be swallowed up.

[We can’t let the original candle day build up momentum like this! 】

During the exchange between the four-pillar god kings, Deus shouted loudly: [Light and darkness cannot deflect the trajectory of the candle day, and cannot allow him to continue the power of changing the times into the third era! 】

【What? 】

The God King of Light and Shadow who was wrestling with the Cosmic Dragon Zhu Zhou, and the Twins of Light and Darkness who were competing with the long Chaos Dragon for magical powers were all stunned. What Deus said was like, 'If you lose, you lose, don't let the credit go unanswered' Blame it on me'... But the kings of gods are originally one body, how could he take advantage of it and still shirk responsibility?

But soon, they were convinced by Deus: [According to the current trend, it is impossible for me to defeat the original candle day - but on the contrary, as long as the momentum of the original candle day is no longer continued, then we can also Bring him down to fight on an equal footing again! 】

Saying this, Deus proposed a plan: [We make the future manifest in advance]

[Let the future era that has not happened yet and is completely unknown, and the Final Era be released in advance - in this way, no matter how earth-shaking the previous historical turmoil is, it will be like a tsunami on the surface of the ocean that is extremely difficult to affect The same as the deep sea and the bottom of the sea, and they will not pile up into huge waves that can sweep across the sky! 】

This is a good plan.

Up to now, the two systems of Overture and Ringing have been completely connected. Zhou Buyi has brought the base of the people of Zhuzhou, and later Elias will bring a new law to the people of Zhuzhou. and covenant, bringing about better order and soul.

At that time, the Zhuzhi army with souls will know why they are fighting, why they are pursuing innovation, and what kind of new world they choose to fight against the old world.

At that time, Zhu Zhou's military strength was enough to sweep across the entire Ilotar continent... At least Deus couldn't figure out how the native civilization of the Ilotar continent should deal with these people when the gods were unable to take action. An army armed to the teeth both mentally and materially.

In that case, let's skip an era.

Directly break the link between cause and effect, ignore the continuity of time, advance the future and delay the present.

Let the final sound ring early... Let us be fully prepared now to welcome the changes brought by Zhuzhi!

【Let me do it】

The faceless Starry Sky God King, the future god, after thinking for a while, nodded and agreed: [This is the only way]

Instead of letting Zhu Zhou's power grow stronger, after crushing three eras, he crushed himself together like rubbish. Sure enough, he could only listen to Deus and reverse the order of cause and effect in time.

——That’s right.

[This is the only way to defeat Zhu Zhou]
