It's not an illusion, it's not an illusion.

Joshua's perception is absolutely impossible to go wrong.

As an existence that fought and defeated the ultimate sublimation polymer, Joshua gained a lot in that fierce battle. No matter how much he used all kinds of extraordinary forces, or how he deduced the opportunity and future possibility, he was honed to a complete state in the high-intensity confrontation, and everything was perfect.

Nowadays, whatever power, whether it is psionic power, magic power, life energy, element, ether, or holy light and shadow, all the extraordinary power of existence is mastered by today's soldiers - the most commonly used force is the steel force born out of life energy, which is true, but it does not mean that he can only use the steel force, Today's Joshua can be said to be a master of the whole department, whether it's casting or holy light.

Even if it is divine power, it is also the power of shadow. His sensitivity to these forces can definitely rank in the top ten in the whole multiverse.

As the most profitable individual in the battle with the near saints, Joshua was able to control the power of steel Python in that battle. He was supported by the absolute data of the triple curtain, the assistance of many lives and civilizations in the whole multi Star River, and even the information given by the ultimate sublimation polymer, There is such a thing as "experience" in this world, so the battle of the star world is undoubtedly one of the biggest experience packs in the whole multiverse, which is probably inferior to the rich evil god.

With so much honing and assistance, no one can fail to make progress. Even a bacterium should become the rudiment of ultimate sublimation polymer at this time. Joshua is no exception. He feels that he has made a big step forward on the road of legendary limit before he reached the world of stars. Although he is not close to the saint, at least he is not, He has cleared a lot of fog.

In particular, he also spread his own emotional power system in the world of stars. By collecting this kind of information, which is similar to the sage's creation of new and extraordinary power, the hazy road of advancement in the past has become much clearer, and he can even touch the threshold of the saint.

"Close to the saints, I can make it."

This is a fact. What Joshua is short of now is only accumulation and time. He can be 100% sure that in the near future, he can quickly catch up with the realm of ultimate sublimation polymer and become a new generation of near saint.

"The life like silver goblin and Chu Hao is similar to the existence of extreme life and extreme sublimation polymer, but their corresponding extraordinary power is" steel power ", and the unique power of extreme sublimation polymer itself is probably the power to create the absolute self world by simulating the initial fire..."

tell the truth, The help of ultimate sublimation polymer to Joshua is just as great as the threat it brings. Apart from other things, this new way of sage is a great harvest. As a "world life body" extremely similar to each other, Joshua can naturally continue the path of ultimate sublimation polymer as long as he can be the same as each other, If something similar to the initial fire condenses in his own body, he can immediately become a near saint.

But this kind of path is completely opposite to the "sage" who created memes and concepts and covered the multiverse with brand-new extraordinary forces and constants... If we just look at it this way, they are actually two completely different systems of sage level.

Joshua's recent silence is to deduce relevant information and draw useful knowledge and information from it.

But now, I'm afraid this kind of thinking will have to pause for a while.

Because in the distance, the endless power of shadow, the great momentum that ordinary people can't imagine, goes back to the top against the tide of the multi universe.

Just a moment of thinking, without hesitation, analysis, deduction and consideration, he has arrived.

The shadow has come.

In an instant, the stars world and the endless void around it were enveloped by deep shadows, and the whole star world quietly broke away from the void and sank into another strange region of time and space. For a moment, Joshua found that everything around him had disappeared, leaving only the dark illusion, Dance with the light coming out of your body.

It's like sinking into the deep sea, wrapped in a strange medium completely different from the void.

"Strange, you are not a member of that world, so why do you stand in front of this world... Seems to want to protect it?"

In the endless shadow, pure information comes. It manifests itself in other people's minds, that is, sound, smell, waves and other things that can be perceived by people. The feeling is like communication from all angles. Touch can see, vision can talk. Each kind of extraordinary power has different ways of perception and understanding.

Information with a strange tone, can not say is curious or indifferent."In the face of the endless shadow, are you not afraid? They even show up and show up here. "

Joshua looked around at the shadow that surrounded him. He didn't answer. Because, it's not a question of why not why - in the world of stars, the triple curtain has suffered a heavy blow, the steel Python star will sleep for thousands of years, and the great Shepherd is in the ring of the four gods to study how to continue himself, while other beings don't even know the arrival of shadow.

At this moment, only he can act.

So here he is.

It's that simple.

And the source of the information did not continue to ask this question. He seemed to look at Joshua in some way, and then he was a little surprised and said, "wait, you have so much information on you?"

"What do I see? The creation of psychic power (triple curtain), the inheritance of magic power (knowledge receiver), and you are the representative of life energy. You are the world life beyond the Cologne and the void giant. There are no elements and ethers, but there are also holy light (SAGE inheritance) and shadow (shadow demon King)! Have you ever been recognized by an abyss world, signed a contract with it, and come into contact with new shadow demons? "

The way of information expression is very complicated. It seems that he directly interprets all the information records carried by Joshua. The same piece of information can express two nearly the same meanings, but it does not affect the tone of surprise: "even the smell of the beast before, you actually have it - so it is, to destroy it, Is that the guardian of the world and you? "

It was supposed to be passing by, but on the empty road all the time, he saw a huge reef of the world and a source of information about special life beside the road. This time, he was really attracted. He began to gather his own "vision" and began to gaze at Joshua.

"What on earth are you? It's like the whole multiverse and all the sages are looking at you. "

Between the transmission of information, an observable image begins to manifest in the shadow.

"The taste --"

At that moment, Joshua frowned, because he smelled the unique breath from the abyss, that there was no similar thing in the whole multiverse, that it was born in the world that had already died, that it was ashes, and that it was "dead" before it was born.

That's the smell of demons.

And just as Joshua thought about what this breath represented, the image from the shadow was fully manifested.

——It's like a silhouette.

How do I say this? It's a very strange image. If you have to describe it, it's like a strange shadow play - the light from nowhere shines on a demon with long curved horns, huge wings and long thorny tail. The light never moves, but the silhouette of the demon changes and shows all kinds of postures.

This kind of different modeling is an indescribable change. The depth of the shadow is changing all the time. It seems that the infinite change itself contains some mystery.

There are two deep black spots in the eyes of the demon silhouette, which lead to endless distance. He gazes at Joshua, and seems to pass him, looking directly at the world of stars. The information fluctuates: "so, this is the hometown of the psychic sages, where are the prototypes of the will of countless worlds... Ah, and the prototypes of the psychic insects, I see, Full of such kind designs... "

The fluctuating information may not represent the "sage" in the usual sense, but Joshua knew that what the devil silhouette wanted to express was this - beyond the near saint, enough to influence the extraordinary individual of the multiverse.

"You are the sage of shadow."

Joshua looked at the silhouette of the devil, and he murmured: "the real sage... So powerful, so..."

Originally, soldiers thought that if one day they could really see sages and sages and see the existence of "sage level", they might lose their manners, be excited and curious, Even daring to challenge - but now, when I really see each other, Joshua finds that he is more calm than ever, as if it should be.

He's here.

This infinite existence.

This kind of will and power that seems to wrap the whole multiverse, time and space are meaningless, and all limited things are created.

If he thinks that he can cross the star world in a moment, maybe it's just because the star world is the hometown of the spiritual sages and my existence.

But even this kind of existence, generations of sages, are struggling with the darkness behind the scenes, which has lasted for endless years until now.Knowing all this, Joshua took a step forward instead. He looked at the silhouette of the devil who exuded the deep breath and seemed to be proud of it. Then he said in the clearest tone, "sage, are you going there too?"

Needless to say, everyone knows that "there" refers to only one place, which is the source of the evil tide and the direction of the initial fire.

"There is the origin and the end of everything."

And he said, "later, one day, you will go this way."

"Why on earth? What happened to this multiverse? I have doubts in my heart, sage. I hope to get answers. "

Without any fear, even if they don't know the good and evil, they don't know what kind of existence they are. Even if they have the breath of abyss and demons, the soldiers still ask and seek the answers to their doubts.

The shadow is still spreading towards the endless distance, but the silhouette is still standing in the same place. The ancient devil stares at the human beings in front of him. He has seen the existence of not afraid of the abyss and the devil breath, and he has seen the existence of wanting to help the abyss and the devil. He has benefited from a light. In fact, all living beings and everything that exists has benefited, And generation after generation, time after time, it is precisely because of this that we have him at this moment.

And the life in front of us is the individual who leaves the light and strides towards the other side.

So he opened his mouth, just as in the old past, when another dead being was told to him.

"To answer this question, we need to start with the oldest history of this multiverse."

The silhouette of the two horns is dancing, and the calm information flows out: "later, do you know the meaning of" extraordinary power "

"I know."

Joshua replied that he stood in the center of endless shadows, shining with his own light and reflecting the shadows around him. His voice was firm: "that is inheritance, continuation and existence. It is precisely because of these extraordinary forces that the multi universe and all living beings exist today."

"Yes, indeed."

Almost sighing information agitated in the hard place: "sages - you call us that, and you know that the existence of sages will bring changes to the multiverse, which is our inheritance and continuation. But do you know that it is not only the existence of sages that will bring about change, but also the passing of sages that will bring about change? "

"..." Joshua opened his mouth. He wanted to say something, but the leader was silent. He was not sure. For the first time, the soldier didn't want to say his guess.

But the shadow answered him calmly.

"Psionic power, the earliest known supernatural power in history, the power of mind, and the changes brought about by its existence, created the prototype of the multiverse, the universe, the will of all worlds, and the steel python. The changes caused by the death of the "spiritual sages" lead to the emergence of endless spiritual worms. They are left by the sages and feed on the unwilling and evil thoughts in the minds of all living beings, especially the sadness and despair of the collapse of civilization. The giant spiritual worms you see on your way here are feeding on the unwilling and resentful thoughts of those who passed away on the way back, and grow up like this. "

"If there is no psionic power, the power of the soul can not be revealed, and the breeding of life in the world will be more difficult because of the lack of world will. The existence of psionic insects has curbed the spread of evil gods, and turned the evil gods, who should have been" 100% born "at the end of civilization, into the abnormal phenomenon of the destruction of thousands of worlds, It even suppresses the side effects of the madness that is hidden in psychic duality

With a message enough to amaze countless civilizations, the silhouette of the great devil is still fluctuating: "everything benefits from him, you and I - and then, magic."

"It is the power of creation, and it will popularize the transcendence, which will significantly increase the number of transcendent people and creatures in the multiverse. Because of the soul warming brought by magic, beasts can also have wisdom and then be promoted to civilization, and the extraordinary effect brought by magic has greatly accelerated the development of civilization. The death of the "sage of demons" has led to the emergence of the great evil tide. It has swept across the world, and it is faster than ever to fight for extraordinary power, in order to spawn more civilizations and more powerful people. It is even a bridge to guide all living beings to the origin. "

"If there is no magic, the number of intelligent life in the multiverse will be reduced by 90 percent, and any creature with soul as the main body will disappear. The fluctuation caused by the great magic tide has created countless amazing individuals, and the following sages, even the other near saints and strong ones, will benefit countless people, even the later ones, Isn't it also in this period of evil tide that we have reached our present state? "

in truth. Joshua nodded in silence. He did grow up in this period of evil tide, and even the whole era of falling stars rose. It can be imagined that how many civilizations and individuals grew up in the multiverse.The shadow continued: "then, life energy."

"Its existence makes the change of material simple, human will begins to be linked with material, and creation becomes simple. Even inorganic things can have life, even without soul, just with proper structure. Even though I don't know about the sage of life, he may exist, but his name has dissipated in today's multiverse, and his birth is even earlier than the history we know. But we can be sure that there are changes similar to the death of the sage, that is, the Cologne and the void giant, which constitute the inner self circulation system of the multiverse and many Multistars, Help many stars to continue their lives. "

"If there is no life energy, there will be less possibility of intelligent life, the cycle of the multiverse will come to an early end, the material world will be more difficult to change, and the environment will be ten thousand times worse than it is now."

"They are gone, in the ancient past, but we are still blessed and live in the afterglow."

Even the sage of shadow, the message is also with respect, the depth of the devil silhouette changes, making a similar salutation action, he whispered: "and the sage of element and ether seems to exist, at least, I have not observed a similar change."

"The elements divide the world and create the balance between the elements. You must know its utility, but I only say change - if the past world is destroyed, it will be completely destroyed, but because of the existence of the elements, the elements in the void will enter the world of extinction and slowly warm it up."

"And the ether is more gentle. As the manifestation of direction and force, it can create and support all kinds of strange worlds that are not reasonable, such as round sky, plane, concave and even empty world. It can make small world exist, and make tiny place breed greatness. Together with the elements, it even divides the abyss and the normal world, and even creates the reincarnation of the "creation vortex."

At this point, the message began to soften and sigh, and Joshua, who listened carefully, heard the familiar words.

"Holy light." The sage of shadow said, "the light made me."

"The light... Made you?"

Joshua was slightly surprised. He looked at the shadow sage, gazed at the endless and deep silhouette eyes, and then breathed out: "abyss, devil... Ah, I see!"

Ignoring the soldier who seems to recall something, the ancient shadow demon said calmly: "as you can see, I am a demon who has fallen into the world of solitude and lingers in the abyss. Even now, this has not changed, and I do not want to change."

"I was born in a dead world. Before I was born, I began to experience" death "- the time trap of multiverse. Later, you should know this. What I want to say is that the time speed of the world Galaxy I live in is hundreds of thousands of times faster than that of the ordinary world galaxy, even faster. That is the edge of the multiverse. In the nearly broken decaying abyss world, my group and I rely on the radiation of the black hole to survive, because all the stars are extinguished, the white dwarfs are black, and the universe is only left with entropy, The embers of a thin particle fog. "

Everything is close to extinction, the universe of extinction.

"In order to exist, just to live - this is the smallest and most humble wish of life. I study all the extraordinary powers painstakingly. I want to call out the power from the place where I have nothing, or I want to take my ethnic group to other shining stars... But it's too far away, regardless of the time system, Or because it's at the very edge of the multiverse, nothing is possible, I can't see anything. "

——Until that day, a dazzling light connected the multiverse.

"You can't imagine my shock at that time."

Looking at the shocked Joshua, the silhouette of the devil said seriously: "latecomer, far more shocked than you are now. I feel that something is calling me, calling all the "abysses" in the multiverse. Of course, the call is too weak. I'm afraid only the abyss close to the source can really echo it. But I'm different. My strength is very strong. I see light. As long as there is light, no matter how weak the coordinates, I can feel it. "

"So I came out, from the eternal solitude, from the galaxy abandoned by the initial fire. I have achieved, just like the existence of divine power, that is why there is the birth of spiritual power, the creation of magic, the change of life energy, the differentiation of elements, and the maintenance of ether. It is precisely because of the shining of the holy light, that there is the continuation of the shadow, and it is because of the pure kindness of wanting to help everything in the world and redeem all suffering, That's why I'm here. "

"But the latecomer, the inheritor of the sage of the light, all these things I'm talking about are not the original changes of the multiverse - it's not me, it's not other pioneers.""... is behind the scenes." Gazing at the shadow, Joshua solemnly said, "chaos and evil spirits are the earliest changes in the multiverse."

"Yes." The shadow sage said, "that's why we're going back, the truth of what happened to this multiverse - because the original changer, who influenced the original fire.

——The initial fire is the origin of our existing multiverse, the initial source of all existence.

The infinite world is created by it and exists because of it.

Where the initial fire shines, there is existence. Therefore, the concept of finite and infinite is divided.

However, there is a process for the initial fire to create a multiverse - I don't know what the process is, but there is no doubt that the multiverse we are in should still be at a very early stage. "

After thinking for a while, the silhouette of the devil continued: "it's like a baby in a swaddle."

"Originally, if we let the multiverse develop naturally, now, all the worlds are still in the primitive period of the universe, and no life can be born.

However, due to some accident, or the special mechanism of our multiverse, the natural "movement" of the initial fire makes the initial time trap appear. In the first few worlds left behind by the initial fire and accelerated relative to time, many "initial civilizations" and [his] existence are born.

What is he? What is the purpose? I know nothing about it. I can even say that it is because I know nothing about it that I have to go to the place where the initial fire is... It may be a trap, a prison [he] prepares for, but it is the place I have to go.

But even so, there is still something to analyze. "

After a pause, the shadow sage said: "first of all, the growth of the multiverse is actually accelerated by us sages - our strength enriches the possibilities of the multiverse and makes countless lives colorful, but all these are contrary to [his] purpose.

He doesn't seem to be able to directly influence the initial fire, but he cuts off the connection between the multiverse and the initial fire, and makes the galaxy where I used to be and many other worlds disappear.

[he] does not want any civilization to develop and grow, but any civilization with potential to exist forever will be destroyed by the cluster of evil gods, and such a reincarnation is a whole "civilization era".

We are now at the end of such a cycle. "

In this way, the voice of the shadow sage's message is more serious than ever: "I guess the purpose of [he] is to get rid of everything except the initial fire, and then make the multiverse come into being again - in [his] way. That's the only way to explain it. "

"The evil god, as a solidified eternity, may be a way to preserve many civilizations in the multiverse... After all, if there were no resistance from the sages of the past dynasties, the final outcome of all the existing civilizations would be the evil god."

Joshua listened carefully, which was similar to what he had guessed and thought about the ultimate sublimation polymer. But in more detail, at the end, he couldn't help feeling absurd: "so [he] is not so bad? How can we use this method to preserve the samples of civilization? "

"You said the samples - don't you feel the malice?"

The demon's silhouette shakes his head, and his tone is heavy: "arbitrarily decide the future of the multiverse, treat us as nothing, and treat civilization and life as samples - we could have lived and developed safely, as long as everything was as normal as the initial fire, countless extinct multiverse, and even countless worlds now reduced to abyss, I'm afraid they are still bathed in the warm light. "

"[he] has done all this, how can he be regarded as" no bad home "【 He doesn't treat us as life at all. In this case, we have to fight against each other. No matter what he wants to do, he can't get it

This is the initial heart of struggle, from the multiverse that I do not know whether it is a long or short past, has continued to the present, like the burning general will.

"I'm leaving. The latecomer, the sage of light, still needs me. The sage of element and ether may still exist, waiting for me."

The silhouette of the devil gradually began to return to the surging shadow, and the pure information was flowing: "this time, perhaps for the first time in history, there were two sages who were born almost at the same time on the time scale of the multiverse - and before that, there were two sages who had not changed, either they were deadlocked with him, Or it's just waiting for us. ""My participation in the battle with the holy light may break the deadlock."

"To leave." Joshua knew it was coming. Everything is much better than the worst. Although he is a demon of the abyss, the shadow sage answers his questions in detail with kindness. Maybe it's because his identity as the successor of the sage has played a role again. He originally stood in front of the shadow with a will to die, but now he is not only alive, but also knows a lot of information.

But the soldier still feels disappointed - because at this time, he can't keep up with the pace of the sages. In addition, as mentioned before, this era is the last hope. He doesn't know whether he can catch up with the last bus in the future.

Joshua expressed his doubts. He asked the departing shadow sage when the last chance would disappear and when the end of the era would come.

But he got a surprising answer.

"Don't worry about that."

The infinite shadow, not only departs far away, but also exists here. In the shadow swaying around the God of steel, there is a disturbing message: "the essence of the great devil tide is to force the initial fire and the disconnected multiverse together again through the infinite energy, so that the latecomers, just like you and me, can be together again, We can go back to the origin of all things through the surging tide upstream.

Although it is true that the maintenance brought by the great evil tide is about to end, I will add it.

"Not only me, the sage of the holy light, but also the sage in your heart, do the same thing. The holy light can also be used as a kind of coordinate - look, in the multiverse, all the natural light sources are changing, they will have certain characteristics of the holy light, and so will the light of the magic tide. As long as the holy light is studied, even if the road of magic is cut off, Can also rely on the path of the light.

And I, the sage of shadow, the "shadow space" created by me, even if the multiverse falls into extinction, can still exist by the existence of the void itself. As long as the initial fire still exists, no matter how far away it has gone, no matter how dark the multiverse is, the shadow space will always be its shadow and its power derivation.

This era is indeed over, but you still have a future, because I have created this future for you. "

The infinite shadow is disappearing.

No, it's not the disappearance, but the transformation into another form, another strange "space"!

Joshua opened his eyes wide. With his observation method close to the saint level, he could see that the hyperspace network composed of shadow space was emerging in the whole multiverse!

It is a spider web like shadow that connects one star river after another, one multi Star River after another. It connects all the shadows, just as all the lights are connected because of the holy light. A brand new road leading to the source of the magic tide and the initial fire appears inside the blazing white magic tide.

This means of connecting the world, shadow subspace, is the "wish" of the shadow sage, and also the embodiment of his power. He has renewed the road of the evil tide which is about to be cut off, and connected all the multi stars with the most direct means.

"The pioneers leave the way for the latecomers, and we are blessed by them, so we can exist."

"The latecomer has left a way for the latter. I will give you the future, but no need to thank you."

"Because I believe that those who come after you will do the same thing - all these favors, gifts and continuations, before and after, are the embodiment of eternal order and civilization."

Finally, when the shadow sage really left and went to the place of origin, Joshua could hear the other side's voice full of kindness, just as he had experienced everything full of kindness in those years.

"You have possessed the power to transcend almost all civilizations and lives, but so far, you are still pursuing the truth... Because you can't bear to stop? Then go on. There are many enemies, and you have a long way to go. Go ahead as far as you can - and I, and other sages, will wait for you in front, at the end of eternity, waiting for the arrival of "battle."

"Remember, latecomers, our life and civilization do not exist for the sake of the world! On the contrary, it is the future of the world, and even the multiverse, that extends in front of us because of our existence! "

[shadow] left, disappeared in the seemingly endless magic tide Road, leaving only the same endless shadow road extending in the torrent.

From beginning to end, he did not ask for Joshua's name, and Joshua did not know his name.

But it doesn't matter, because they are the pioneers and the latecomers, the former expecting the latter and the latter chasing the former.The normal void, as well as the world of stars, once again appeared behind the soldiers.

But Joshua's heart could not be calm for a long time. He closed his eyes and breathed deeply.

"... wisdom never dies, order never dies, and inheritance goes back and forth until now."

It turns out that this is the true meaning of the ancient inscription.

One sage after another has come forward to make changes even if they are dead, and to seize even a little hope for the future of this multiverse.

But this is far from enough - even the death of a number of sages can only be said that the inevitable end of the future, forced to delay a little bit.

But there's nothing to be afraid of.

Because, from yesterday to today, from today to tomorrow, from tomorrow to the next, generation after generation, one after another pioneers have done this. They have done everything they can, and they have to fight for more possibilities for the latecomers, so as to add some chances of winning in the future.

"Even if tomorrow is the abyss and endless nailuo, I will not stop."

Open your eyes, Joshua calmly raised his hand, looking at the source of the enchantment tide, overlooking the distant space and time, just like the dying limit sublimation polymer not long ago.

He clenched his fist as if to catch the illusory light.

——Because, countless people yesterday, this just made me today.

——And my today is bound to exist for the tomorrow of countless people.

——Volume 18, the end of tomorrow
