The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Hearing Gaia's words, the records of the Supreme Council of the Universe about him immediately appeared in Leo's mind. At that time, he just thought that these were just general records, but now it seems that the Supreme Council of the Universe is paying attention to him. It's not as simple as he thought.

Leo asked tentatively: "So you have been recording my experience, including every life after rebirth?"

Gaia admitted: "Yes, all the lives you have experienced in the universe have been recorded by us."

Leo asked again: "So is there a result?"

Gaia shook his head and said, "No, until the universe collapsed, there was no result! However, when the universe collapsed, some abnormalities appeared on you."

Leo froze for a moment, and said, "You suspect that the universe collapsed because of me?"

"Of course not. The collapse of the universe is inevitable. No matter how you change it, the final result will not change. The only thing that changes is what is left after the collapse of the universe." Gaia raised her hand to wipe the air After a while, the scene in front of them changed instantly. They came to the top of a mountain, surrounded by a starry sky above their heads, and countless star fields, nebulae, and galaxies shrunk countless times and appeared in their eyes, as if the entire universe had a panoramic view.

Gaia looked at Leo with deep meaning, and said: "During the countless collapses of the universe in the past, we were able to preserve very few relics in the end, even fewer than the relics you saw, but the time series you appeared gave us a lot of information. At the moment when the universe collapsed, you actually took away part of the origin of the universe and brought it into the subspace, which is a result that we have never had before when we went back in time."

Leo listened, with a surprised expression on his face, and then said in disbelief: "You mean that this world tree originated from me..."

"Yes, it's the part of the origin of the universe you brought out." Gaia nodded, then reached out, tapped Leo's forehead, and said, "You should have been unconscious at the time, and you didn't even know what happened. , I will let you see for yourself now."

Although Leo could still hear Gaia's voice, his attention was completely focused on the various pictures that could not be described in words that quickly appeared in his mind.

He saw countless stars colliding, collapsing, and merging in the Sagittarius galaxy, saw the Cepheus galaxy being swallowed by an extremely huge black hole, and saw a force from a higher dimension cut tens of stars into pieces like cutting a cake. A galaxy was cut into pieces, but all these scenes are far from the light that bloomed at the moment when the universe finally collapsed.

It is not appropriate to say that it is light. It should be energy, an energy that can easily tear apart any time and space. However, although this energy is powerful, it is short-lived, so short that only an existence like Earth Mother Gaia can capture it. To a glimpse of the scene.

Obviously, this should be the scene before the destruction of the universe seen by Earth Mother Gaia, but Leo can feel that what he sees is not all, because due to his own life level and common sense, the same scene will be distorted Become another form that can be understood by him, the scene of the destruction of the universe seen by Earth Mother Gaia is absolutely different from what he sees.

However, these are not important, because Gaia, the earth mother, has already imprinted these images in his brain. When his life level evolves again, and his understanding of the universe deepens again, he will go back in time and reawaken the images in this imprint. When viewing the video, he must also be able to see more content.

Moreover, for Leo, these images have been enough for him to digest for a long time, because they contain the most original mysteries and powers of the universe, and even involve higher dimensional powers, which are difficult for him to understand and grasp now. s things.

However, these things are put aside for the time being. What he needs to know now is in these images, where is the part of the image that Gaia said he brought out a part of the origin of the universe before the universe collapsed? Logically speaking, it should be in the universe. In the image of the moment of the collapse, but he has seen that image repeatedly, but he can't see anything.

Perhaps it was because the blank expression on Leo's face gave Gaia a hint. He thought that he could not see the image he wanted Leo to see due to the limitation of his life form, so at this time he gently pressed his hand on Leo's face. He wiped his eyes and said, "If you can't see it yourself, use my eyes to see it."

Almost at the same time when Gaia's voice fell, the image of the collapsed universe in front of Leo's eyes changed dramatically, becoming completely different from before. He saw countless laws of the universe being released at the moment of collapse, and he saw At the same time as this scene, the imprint of these laws was imprinted on the brain. Such a huge amount of information poured in, as if an asteroid in the universe was facing the turbulent energy sweeping the galaxy, it was torn apart and destroyed. The only ending.

Fortunately, the main body of the Stone Throne sensed the danger, and appeared in time to take over the shock for Leo, and directly introduced these cosmic laws into the Stone Throne, and Leo, who was hiding behind the Stone Throne, also saw the infinity law hidden under the law of infinity. what Gaia wanted him to see.

He saw the stone throne, and saw an indescribable life form sitting on the stone throne, but the moment he saw that life form, he knew it was the light of origin.

He also saw that the light of origin and the throne of stone forcibly blocked the terrifying energy generated at the moment of the collapse of the universe, captured countless origins of the universe that had been completely shattered, and escaped before the collapse of the universe was completely completed.

Although in the eyes of a bystander like him, the whole process seems to be very easy, but in fact the Light of Origin sitting on the stone throne has only a chance to be dragged in by the collapse of the universe and destroyed together, and even if he escapes, the situation will be very bad.

First of all, the stone throne is severely damaged. You must know that the stone throne is not only the throne, there are palaces and squares around it, and the stone pillar square is thousands of times larger than Leo's current stone pillar square, and now the palace has collapsed in the universe. The energy was annihilated, and most of the square also disappeared. Only a part around the stone pillar was barely preserved, but the surface had also been broken into countless pieces, which seemed to be scattered at any time.

As for the main body of the stone throne, it is already in the shape of sandstone, and the patterns on the surface have all been worn away, leaving only a layer of mottled and ugly traces.

However, compared to the stone throne that still maintains a little form, the situation of the light of origin is much worse. It has completely lost its form, leaving only a weak light that is too weak to see clearly, wrapping the surrounding The torn fragments of the original world.

"I am the light of origin, right?" Leo's consciousness broke away from the image in his mind, and then he turned his head and asked Gaia, the earth mother.

"No, you are not the light of origin." Gaia denied Leo's speculation, saying: "The light of origin just borrowed your undead characteristics at that time, but you were assimilated with the light of origin in a sense. Now, from this point of view, you are indeed the light of origin." She stretched out her hand and touched the air again, and the surrounding scene changed immediately, and it became that she was on a transparent platform of a temple, and the platform below It is the World Tree. He pointed to the World Tree and said, "He is the light of origin."

Leo looked down at the World Tree below, was silent for a moment, and asked, "What promise did I make with you when I came here?"

Gaia once again denied Leo's guess, saying: "No, you made a mistake! You didn't make a promise with us, you made a promise with yourself."

Leo was stunned, and muttered to himself with a puzzled face: "A promise made with myself?"

"It seems that you didn't recall that incident, or you don't want to recall it." Gaia stared at Leo, as if he had seen through him, and asked, "Do you need me to help you remember?"

When Gaia spoke, Leo had already resonated with a certain part of the banned memory because of Gaia's words, and awakened it.

At the moment when the memory was awakened, Leo immediately understood what happened when he first came here, and what the promise that Death Gain mentioned would endanger the World Tree.

Back then, after he entered the Supreme Court, what he saw was not Gaia or other surviving giants of the Supreme Council of the universe. Except for Gaia with a special life form, the other giants had fallen into endless chaos due to the destruction of the universe. In the deep sleep, even Gaia needs to constantly fall into dormancy to maintain life, and when he came to the Supreme Court, it happened to be when Gaia fell into dormancy.

However, the Supreme Court is not only the giants of the Supreme Council of the universe, there is also a special existence here, that is Leo's body, or more correctly, another Leo's twin body.

After the collapse of the universe, the surviving giants in the universe used the part of the origin of the universe intercepted by the light of origin to create the world tree, and the light of origin completely integrated itself into the world tree, which can complement the world tree At the same time, it can sow the countless cosmic civilizations contained in the light of origin into the world tree in the form of seeds and fruits.

After the light of origin merged into the world tree, he still retained two things, one is the broken stone throne, and the other is the characteristics of the undead, because the three were once integrated when the universe collapsed, so all three Contains a trace of each other's original characteristics, and when the light of origin still exists, the three are dominated by the light of origin, but the moment the light of origin is completely integrated into the world tree, the remaining two things are born on their own. Of the two lives, the one conceived by the undead is Leo, and the one conceived by the stone throne is the existence on the stone throne that Leo mistakenly regarded as his own body.

As an undead, Leo has had countless rebirth experiences. After he was conceived, he directly used the ability of random rebirth to enter the world that was being conceived in the World Tree, and was reborn in a certain life inside, that is to say At the beginning when the world tree conceived the world, he had already walked in these worlds in different ways of life, but for some unknown reason, this memory was completely absent. It was not until he was reborn in the world of Velen that he had the corresponding memory, and I also remember some things from the past.

Compared with Leo, the life conceived by the Stone Throne is not so lucky. He cannot leave the Supreme Court, because as long as he leaves the Supreme Court, he will immediately merge with the Stone Throne and can only live forever. Sitting on a stone throne.

However, it doesn't matter if he can't leave the Stone Throne, because the origins of each other are connected, so that he can also experience everything that Leo has experienced, and have the emotions that Leo has, in other words, treat him as another Leo is also perfectly fine.

It is also because of this that when Leo came to the Supreme Court and met another self, he quickly agreed to sit on the stone throne to help Sylvia, who was trapped at the last step, complete the abyss lord's mission. Ultimate metamorphosis.

However, while agreeing to Leo's proposal, he also wanted Leo to make a promise. This promise was to let Leo return to the Stone Throne after solving Sylvia's matter and kill him completely.

Because as he merged with the Stone Throne, the most important defect in the Stone Throne's origin was made up for, and the Stone Throne returned to constant restoration. One-tenth, then the stone throne will also have a very serious impact on everything around it.

For example, the ruins of the Supreme Council of the universe are now collapsing on a large scale because the power of the Stone Throne is recovering, and if the power of the Stone Throne continues to recover, then the ruins of the Supreme Council of the Universe will inevitably collapse completely, and the Supreme Court will also be on the Stone Throne. Under the restraint of the power of God, the stone throne sinks together, and when it finally sinks to the World Tree, the World Tree is very likely to be destroyed as a result. This is why the death god Gain mentioned that the promise will affect the survival of the World Tree.

If Gaia hadn't fallen into a deep sleep at that time, He would have stopped Leo's decision, but it was a pity that when Gaia woke up, it was too late.

It is also impossible for him to kill the living body on the stone throne, because as mentioned in the promise, only Leo, who also has the power of the stone throne and the characteristics of the undead, can really kill that living body.

However, the most surprising thing is that after Sylvia became the abyss lord, Leo was going to go to the realm of the stone throne to kill the living body as promised, but Leo encountered random teleportation and lost part of the memory, and the lost part of the memory happens to be the part of the promise. Instead, I only remember to restore the power of the Stone Throne, and the way to restore the power of the Stone Throne is to collect the seeds of civilization, because the seeds of civilization produced in all worlds of the World Tree There are traces of the power of the light of origin. The more civilized races are collected, the faster the Stone Throne will recover. This is why the power of the Stone Throne itself has almost recovered in only a thousand years. .
