Soul of Burning Steel

Today's multiverse is completely different from Joshua's back then.

Awakened from death, rose again from the fall, once lost the power of a sage, but returned again, until this moment, Joshua had the time to really look at the people in front of him and tried his best to wake up his relatives and friends.

Even if it is a "sage of god", it is not a simple matter to break free from the initial fire. How to put it, Joshua's general feeling at that time was probably that he hated the sky and the earth No ring, even if it has infinite power, it can't rush out from the great source that has no boundaries at all, no goal, nothing but 'existence', and is emptier than the void.

In the past, Joshua had long thought that he might die in battle one day, or be seriously injured, and his mind or core processor would be smashed beyond repair, so he always recorded his thinking algorithm, and combined it with most of the The memory bank is stored in a separate 'secret box', which is handed over to No. 3 for safekeeping. After he dies or suffers irreparable damage, Sanhao can use the self in the secret box as the origin to resurrect or revive himself.

He doesn't care about issues such as the ship of Theseus at all. For a high-level existence that can communicate faster than the speed of light, link multiverses and transmit information without time difference, whether it is the "noumenon" known to ordinary people or the "noumenon" The splits in the "secret box" are all part of the self, and its essence is a huge existence above the world, which cannot be questioned by human logic and philosophical issues at all. However, the impact caused by God's Extinction is also a force that transcends ordinary "logic". No. 3 holds the secret box, and has been unable to contact and wake him up for a long time.

Until one day, No. 3 found a god who claimed to have returned from the "destruction of the gods" in other distant multi-dimensional galaxies.

"Everything I've said is true."

Facing the powerful No. 3 who came from afar, the god invited her to his kingdom of God, and the two sides had a friendly conversation.

"At that time, in order to protect the world I was in, I entered the state of God Extinction, and with the momentum of dying together, I went to obliterate the attacking evil god-to tell the truth, at that time, I really didn't think about anything, just to urge With all my strength, I will beat myself and the evil god to death."

"Soon, the evil god was annihilated, and I was also involved in it—to be precise, half of it was involved. Because of my sacrifice, many people in my world who didn't believe in me began to call on me. name, praying for my return, this prayer itself has no meaning, but it awakened my hazy will that was about to merge with the source. After waking up, I resisted the assimilation of the source as slowly as possible. Velocity, stuck in the middle of presumably the source and the normal multiverse."

The divine power controlled by this god is called 'communication and rejection'. The human heart is a natural barrier, which naturally rejects the thoughts of all outsiders. However, by virtue of communication, people can influence others and be changed by others. The same is true for people and people, people and the world, civilization and civilization, civilization and order.

The divine power of communication is the most powerful force and means of attack. It can communicate with the world, turn everything into a weapon, communicate with the void, and create a space-time storm. Denying divine power is the strongest defense method. It can create an absolutely self-enclosed 'self-closing space', isolating the cause and effect of time and space, and blocking all means of harm from the outside world.

This god rejected the fact that he was pulled into the source, and maintained his will by communicating with all beings who believed in him-but it was useless, he was still unstoppably drawn into the source, at most The other gods are slower.

"Then how did you get out?"

At that time, No. 3 asked questions in such a puzzled manner.

The god was silent for a while, then sighed.

"Kicked out."

After a long silence, seeing No. 3's shocked expression, he added helplessly: "I feel an unstoppable force reverberating inside Dayuan, as if fighting something, impacting everything —and I was just hit by that force, and it knocked me out of the way."

"However, because of this, I lost most of my divine power, and now I can only be regarded as a relatively powerful legend... Even my divine power has gradually become unusable. This kingdom of God is my last legacy."

And the moment No. 3 heard the word 'battle', it replaced it with 'Joshua' - thinking that Joshua probably entered Dayuan thousands of years ago, and with his character... hers It means that if it is Joshua, fighting within Dayuan does not seem to be a strange thing.

"So, as long as one's own strength is strong enough, and the outside world has a strong enough call, can he awaken a god who has died?"

Regarding the summary of No. 3, the god who returned from the demise nodded seriously, but shook his head again: "Yes, and no. My example is very lucky. If your gods are in extinction, if you want to To return, there must be many conditions.”

"First of all, the gods who enter the great source after the gods are destroyed must have a clear will and want to return to the world."

"Secondly, the outside world must have something deeply related to him, such as the remaining god body, holy emblem, or first-generation bloodline descendants."

"In the end, there must be an extremely large number of shouts, at least ten times larger than our civilization, in order to be transformed into a substantive belief that is almost collective divinity, penetrate the great source, and pass it to the hearts of the gods in it—— Then the two echo each other, so that a god can be awakened."

After bidding farewell to the friendly god, No. 3 returned to the 'Time Trap·Life Forbidden Area' once, and she informed Hei who was guarding the outside of this guess, and handed over to her the secret box she had been keeping.

"I still have to go to the outside world to find more ways to wake up Joshua." She said so, and then set off again, before leaving, Hei nodded and replied: "And I am waiting here to accumulate strength—— One day, when all the conditions are met, I will guarantee that the owner can hold all the elements to make it return at the first time."

Then, the multiverse gradually entered the age of godlessness, and one god after another fell into a deep sleep, even the seven gods were no exception—but compared to other strange sleeping, even shocking existences, The sleeping seven gods seemed a little surprised and joyful, but the speed was too fast, and they couldn't leave any information, which made everyone puzzled.

One hundred and twenty thousand years have passed, and a long time has passed. All the conditions have been gathered, and all the calls are gathered here, so that the soldiers can return.

Raising the upper right hand, let Heilong, No. 3, and other acquaintances put it in the palm of his hand, Joshua smiled happily, communicated with each acquaintance, and felt their situation.

The first is Hei—the little girl who used to be sleepy and playful, and always a little lazy, has now become a powerful and powerful person. Joshua's world body remembered everything in and around his world since his death. He knew that the other party had been waiting by his dead body for 120,000 years just like this.

She has achieved the legendary limit, and she is only one step away from the near saint—this is also a huge threshold for ancient dragons. It only takes hundreds or thousands of years for ordinary ancient dragons to grow from a juvenile to a legendary adult. It takes thousands of years to enter the full maturity stage, that is, the middle and high level of legends that can revive a world. After that, the potential of the ancient dragon's bloodline was almost exhausted. Among the countless ancient dragons, there was probably only one, who could become the "creation ancient dragon" that transcended the world, revived, and even created the world.

The stronger they are, the harder it is to break free from the limitations - they are likely to reach the sky in one step and reach the highest level, but because of lack of experience, they simply cannot understand what it means to 'break through the limit'. And weak creatures, such as human beings, will start to surpass the limits of their original race at the extreme stage, and develop various secret methods for human beings. Coupled with the large biological base, several alien species can always be born, and they are naturally strong.

The limit of creatures like ancient dragons is legendary. It is far more difficult to break through than humans, and they basically have no secrets. Before they hit the threshold, they can't even understand what is called a 'bottleneck'.

In the inheritance of the sage of the devil obtained by the knowledge taker, it was mentioned that there was an "nameless god of creation" who carried the inheritance of the sage in the past as an individual. According to the current description, it is probably an "ancient dragon of creation". Hei Neng broke the limit of his own bloodline and became an extremely powerful existence in the legendary limit, which is already very remarkable, it can be said to surpass 99% of the ancient dragons in the entire multiverse.

As for the legendary limit and the sky barrier of the near saint, apart from being extremely talented, or luck is really good enough to find a path that perfectly fits, otherwise, no matter how long the time is, it is meaningless, and the legendary limit can change without limit Strong, but the near-sage is a step towards the infinite, a "thrilling leap" from the finite to the infinite. They are suspended in the air, but they have not yet figured out where they will land.

In addition to Hei who held his head high and showed Joshua the fruits of his long-term hard work, Hotaru and Rin, who were clasped tightly in both hands, also trembled slightly——was catalyzed by Joshua's divine power in the past and turned into two worlds. Brothers and sisters of Shenji, under countless years of prayer and reverence from the Light Chaser, have completely become the masters of the "Sword Realm" and "Ax Realm". The souls of brave men who died in battle.

These souls were instinctively brought into their own world by Hotaru and Rin, who were sleeping at that time, and even formed a peculiar ecosystem there—a world of living weapons. There, any life is born in the form of a phase weapon and grows up. If these lives have to be said, they should be the family members derived from Joshua, Hotaru and Rin. Maybe they can be called "weapon angels" Or 'weapon goblin', or in other words, a brand-new original race of divine machines.

Since most of the weapons of the gods are cold weapons and swords, most of the weapon fairies are also in this form, but Joshua listened to the imagination of the two brothers and sisters, and heard that they seemed to want to make some kind of "gun fairies" 'Ship Fairy', even 'Castle Fairy', 'Planet Fairy' came... I glanced at it, and saw that I was writing with elements on the root of my finger not far away, [The Fairy Queen is here for a visit! 】【Fairy XX came here with the queen! ], the elemental goblins, the warrior sighed, acquiescing to the two imaginations about the future.

At least they're not elemental goblins... Silver goblins would be nice.

Turning his head slightly, Joshua and Nostradamus looked at each other. This old man who had witnessed his growth all the way, and he was constantly improving, also reached the limit of legend - due to the split of the Starfall Mycroft civilization in the past, the old mage was alone in the Great Diverse Alliance as a legendary powerhouse. But no matter how enlightened, a huge alliance must be accompanied by wrangling, struggle, factions, and all kinds of weird hills and selfishness.

He worked hard for order for thousands of years. In the end, Nostradamus was really too lazy to take care of these things, so he simply applied for resignation, and once again established a huge supernatural being in a relatively quiet and closed place in the multi-dimensional galaxy. College—and this time, unlike Winter Castle College in the past, his students are not limited to one country and one family, but multiverse and all countries and all races.

Joshua and Nostradamus smiled and chatted about the major events in the past 100,000 years. Everyone is a powerful superhuman, and many thoughts and feelings are silent, knowing that the other party is not corrupt or depraved, but Keep the original intention and move forward all the way, then the fighter will be happy for the other party from the heart and send blessings.

And number 3, let alone. The other party has been looking for a way to wake himself up. If it wasn't for No. 3 who made all the plans and contacted the reincarnation of Karlis who happened to be exploring the surrounding area through Hei and the "world border" where the port fortress is located, then Now that I want to wake up, I guess I have to wait tens of thousands of years until the shining area where the light chaser is located is truly destroyed. Moreover, the success rate is very low.

The two are exchanging information. At this moment, No. 3, in terms of strength, is probably closer to the Near Saint than Black—as one of the core centers of the multiverse's current Great Demon Network system, the resources that No. 3 can obtain And knowledge, far stronger than most extraordinary people. She reached the legendary limit a long time ago, and she has not yet broken through, just because she temporarily lacked the energy to find her own way before Joshua woke up.

"There's no need to stand still for me."

"But it's still my choice—and now, can I advance?"

Communication is always simple, the more familiar you are, the less you need to say anything. The giant stared at the girl who was smiling at him, and then smiled too.

"I'm back."

"Welcome back."

The split of the Mycroft civilization in the past was mainly due to internal disagreements. Some people believe that the alliance that has gradually closed and stabilized, leading to the loss of pioneering and aggressive vigor, can no longer be used as a qualified commander-in-chief. Madame is also a descendant of many explorers, pirates and bounty hunters in the past. Because they are born close to the void, these human beings are more willing to explore the distance than live a comfortable life as a member of the big alliance.

So they left, and with them, several students of Joshua. In the past, the No. 1 team, Ivan Makarov, Amira Makarov, the dwarf Nick and the mage Karin developed a large number of new era void products under the name of "Pioneer Laboratory". At that time, a huge business empire had been vaguely established, and after that, they moved and drifted their commercial void bases, wandering among many galaxies, trading with civilizations one by one, taking risks, and completing commissions and tasks.

They stay occasionally, but never for too long. They occasionally slack off and enjoy themselves, but they can always revive their spirits. The wandering void business empire and the traveling merchants who explored the world are their legacy.

The natural mentors, Barnir, Barbarossa, Brandon and other legendary powerhouses of Mycroft took the world of the ether ring and left as ether stars. Although they felt that the problem of the alliance was not that serious, but It is true that the Mycroft civilization does not need to be mixed into this pool of increasingly turbid and dead water. They sent the world of the ether ring into the silent void and hid again, and many powerful people often went to the dark depths to hunt and kill Chaos and sharpen their strength.

Born in sorrow, died in peace, anyway, Mrs. McCrom has already spread all over the diversity, and her own branch is destroyed, and there are others-after ensuring the continuation of civilization, they put themselves in danger without hesitation . This is naturally dangerous, but the results are equally exciting: except for a few legends who disappeared during the exploration process, such as Barbarossa, the high priest of the murlocs, and the new legends born after the Mycroft civilization, most of them have arrived. The legendary high-level, and the best of them, such as Brandon, Barnir, and Galannord, all have legendary limits, or they can display near-sage-level strength under certain conditions.

It's not that they haven't become the inheritance of the near saints, they just strive for perfection, and there is no need to decide their final path so quickly before the critical moment.

As for Loranda... His situation is quite special. As the first generation leader of the Grand Alliance, after resigning from the chairmanship, the paladin established a Holy Light organization—it has nothing to do with the Seven Gods and any religion. The light organization [Helping Hand] is similar to a large-scale humanitarian organization that spans multiple galaxies. Most of its members are practitioners of the Holy Light Department. Their daily work is to accept missions for help, and then set out to exterminate various monsters , chaos and even evil gods.

In a sense, this is also a kind of mercenary. They will also accept tasks to assist some areas of the Grand Alliance that have been attacked by chaos, deploy troops, and even build fortresses...【Helping Hand】Now, it has become A real multi-level organization, Lolanda has long been not its leader, but the founding elder, and now it is led by a new legendary limit, who has also inherited the beliefs of his predecessors and has been persevering for the entire Fight for the voice of beings in the multiverse.

In addition to the big forces split from these Mycroft civilizations, there are also many people who left alone, went to various places to multiply, or took risks. Most of the former have turned into another peculiar form, for example, the whole body is semi-mechanized, even if it is a child born, the body is born with metal mechanical factors in the body, and can easily connect to the data line. Not to mention self-transformation, becoming a plant, having the blood of a monster in the body, or simply converting into another strange race of human beings.

Among the former, one of the members of the "elite team" that Joshua took care of at the beginning established a huge alien empire—the former alchemist, the current Emperor Constantine, Kreil and Erma Join hands to guide the world in the void, and build a small world star cluster that is semi-independent and multiple galaxies. There is a paradise for reformers, a paradise for free people, and it is also the home of some free Amos after losing Emperor Amos. Destination, now it can be regarded as an independent force with good strength outside the majority of the multiple alliances. Of course, some of them were criminals who broke away from the original organization, and villains who changed their names. Constantine, who was more chaotic, was willing to protect them in his own territory, but if he dared to leave here, he would have nothing to do with the independent empire.

And the latter, most of them are still adventurers now... Whether it is embarking on the journey again, Priest and his teammates who were still exploring the sage of the devil before, or the surrounding multiverse, helping one after another Lisa and Syndicate, who have overcome the difficulties of a civilization and proved themselves, all have the strength of the legendary limit, which is enough to ensure their own safety in this sinister multiverse.

The inheritance and relics of sages and psionic sages have all been obtained, and the appearance of shadow sages is not long, but magic power, life energy, ether and elements, the relics left by these four sages, still remain in the multiverse In every corner of the world, Priest, Lisa, Syndicate and others have been wandering the heavens and the world, looking for various clues, and finding clues to those ancient ruins. With the help of the knowledge takeover, they spent a long time and finally found the ruins of the element sages, and then from this ruins, they found clues to the ancient ruins of the magic sages.

Not to mention the thrilling adventures and the turmoil of multiple forces brought about by the inheritance of the sages, the goblins are blessed because of this. The goblins who have received part of the inheritance from the sages are no longer stuck in the world of "rich elements". Instead, it can spread across the entire multiverse.

I don't know if this is a blessing or a curse for the multiverse.

Of course, there are many, many stories besides this. No matter whether it was Alva who built a huge omnic group independently in a dead and silent world galaxy to supply his own growth and evolution, or Alva who sailed for 120,000 years and turned the original lone ship into a cluster of steel stars, they The stories and deeds are equally exciting, and their strength is also not weak. In this dark multiverse, the successors of the flame ignited their own light, and moved forward without hesitation on the road ahead illuminated by themselves.

And this was exactly the scene Joshua wanted to see the most.

"Everyone, have a good time."

After a moment of silence, the Giant God smiled and said, "I always think about the worst possibilities, and I always want to change those worst possibilities—but I forget that other people will also think about it and want to change it." Change. And it’s not just me who will succeed.”

Today, in the Multi-Galaxy Alliance, there have been four near-sages——Emperor Amos went to the primordial fire very early, and his incarnation here said a few words to Joshua, and asked the breakthrough sage After realizing the possibility of the reader, he left thoughtfully. The remaining Near Saints were waiting in the distance, and they also chatted with Joshua for a few words, explaining the general situation of this multiverse to the soldiers.

【If we say that life is a script destined to lead to death】
