"Civil strife?"

Nostradamus didn't know what Joshua was saying. He repeated, but still couldn't understand: "what are you talking about?"

"Maybe it's the truth of three hundred years lost."

Joshua didn't know where to begin.

Because it's a long, long story.

Time goes back to the last era, and now the continent called mccroft has not yet taken shape.

At that time, all things were abandoned, and the oceans were in chaos. The war of order and chaos shattered the sky. The energy radiation from the void radiated on the earth. Dozens of races and tens of millions of victims survived in the cracks of radiation, earthquake, storm and acid rain.

At that time, the sun and the moon gradually died out, the sky was dim, and darkness filled the whole world. Seven continents were submerged by semi boiling sea water, leaving only a few scattered fragments. Most of the marine wisdom was genocide, and only a few lucky ones survived.

The gods have won, but they are facing more difficult problems than the evil gods. In the face of their hometown, they do not know what to do, because they are not facing a powerful enemy in the void, but a broken world.

After judging the traitors, all gods and people have to face up to the question: is there any value in this world for them to stay?

But the father of nature has left. The holy land has lost its gods and has no value. The remaining elves are in turmoil in confusion. They need a leader to lead them.

In the northern mainland, there is a broken mountain range. It was originally the main battlefield for saints and gods to fight with many evil spirits invading the world. The unhealed cracks of time and space are still releasing thunder and energy storms above the mountain range. Except for the dwarves hiding underground, no life can live in this place.

The eastern continent is almost broken into pieces, and more than a thousand islands are scattered in the churning waves. If the fragments of other continents can still see the prototype, then the fragments of the eastern continent can't see the original state at all. Tsunamis and hurricanes can swallow these islands at any time.

On the west side is the central continent of the original world. The most solid ridge mountains of the world have been preserved. Dwarves, winged people and other ethnic adherents have survived by relying on the strong central mountains of the world. On the other side of the original world center, other continents have been completely wiped out or sunk into the ground, the hometown of dwarfs and the holy land of lizards, The steppes of centaurs have completely disappeared, the homelands of many races have been destroyed in the war, and their gods are dying because they have lost the support of their faith and are about to be unable to support the increasingly turbulent divine reversion.

"If we leave here, we'll find a new world. The glory of mirov's civilization will not end here."

Some gods say that the fish people he sheltered are the few surviving Marine Intelligent lives, while his friend, the God of mermaid, has passed away in the war and no trace remains in the world. He has no attachment to the sea of today's mirov world and just wants to leave the broken world as soon as possible.

"We can't give up here."

A God said so, his voice was sonorous and powerful, as if it were forged by a hammer. The God of dwarves rejected the proposal: "mccroff is our hometown, the great mother and the Earth Goddess are fighting in the forefront, countless gods and countless lives have fallen here, giving up mccroff is equivalent to giving up everything we sacrificed for it!"

"For the sake of the people we sheltered, we should leave as soon as possible. We can wait for the future to gradually repair the world of mirov, but now my people can no longer survive!"

"Even if the world is broken, there is still too much to give up..."

The remaining gods quarreled. They were not companions originally, just because they had to unite in the end of the first World War. Now that the war is over, conflicts break out, and the opposition between the gods becomes more and more acute, On the one hand, they think that the broken world of McCullough is no longer worth saving and must leave as soon as possible. On the other hand, although the world is damaged, it has the value of trying to repair both emotionally and profitably. If the devices in the ruins are excavated, it will be enough to quickly rebuild the ecological circle of several refuges, In a short time, they can't find a perfect new world.

In the end, with the support of the sages' silence, the migration group was suppressed, and the left behind group gained the right to speak. Countless gods based on their own divine power created a half plane small world for their own people to live in. This can be sustained in a short time, but over time, the gods will be consumed and fall into eternal silence.

But how to repair this broken world? Even sages can't do it. For him, it's easier to create a new world. At this time, McCullough is like a torn rag doll. The river is full of cracks but barely broken ice. The will of the world and mother earth are dying. Too fierce transformation will only completely destroy it.When the gods quarrel, the will of the world has completely fallen into a dying dormancy. As the world itself, it has been attacked by too many evil gods and abyss evils. During the war, there is also the belief support of all living beings, but after the war, the spirit of cohesion dissipates, and even it can not continue to maintain.

However, although the will of the world is silent, mother earth is still sober. Although most of the original seven continents of the world are broken, they are still enough to maintain his will.

Seeing the contradiction between the gods, the goddess seemed to be intolerable, so he stood up and said to the sages and gods: I will.

His voice was gentle and powerful, which overcame all the noisy arguments. The gods turned their eyes to the goddess, but he did not hesitate.

He said: This is not the time to argue. You see, we are falling into the abyss... McCullough is gradually moving away from the center of the multiverse. We are sinking. If we continue, we will sink into the abyss and become part of the enemy of the past. So.

I come to China.

I'll reconstitute the remains of the seven worlds.

I was born from the mainland, the first spirit in the world. Although I was upgraded to God, my existence itself symbolized the complete continent.

If you sacrifice me, you can reunite the Mainland... Even if the reunited one is much smaller than before, it can bear all the remaining groups in the world.

The goddess of earth is willing to sacrifice herself to glue the broken world together. From a rational point of view, this may be a good choice. But if the gods only act according to pure reason, they would have been robbed of their will by divinity and merged with the universe. How could they agree to this?

"You are a meritorious official. You have already sacrificed a lot, and the" Earth Dragon "group you sheltered is almost extinct."

Even the migrating gods shook their heads and said, "no matter how much you sacrifice, it's not your turn to sacrifice."

"I'll do it."

Some gods are willing to replace the Earth Goddess and volunteer to give everything: "I am the God of mountains and swamps, and also a part of the earth."

"I'll do it."

He is the God of rivers and lakes.

"I don't know."“ I don't know“ I don't know

In the past, all the remaining gods of the earth God system stood up, and many other powerful gods also stood up. For the gods, death is just an eternal dream, and if their own sacrifice can really save the world, then their names will be with civilization, immortal, which is the supreme glory.

"It's not necessary."

At this point, the sage opened his mouth. He shook his head and said, "no one needs to sacrifice."

"Look at the debris of our enemies in the void, they are numerous and contain infinite power... With the remaining initial fire burning chaos, we will be able to reshape the world."

The words of the sages made the gods turn their eyes to the point they had never paid attention to - the remains of evil gods. Before that, no one thought that they could make use of the remains of evil gods, the power full of resentment and chaos, even if it was touched, it would erode the soul. Only the most powerful gods, the strong and sages could resist this power.

Use it to reshape the world. If the person who says it is not a saint, anyone will scoff at it.

But the people who said this were sages, so the gods were willing to believe this crazy idea.

"What happened next? Joshua

Above the underground lake, Nostradamus is frowning, recording all the things described by Joshua in his guide book, corresponding to the sporadic clues he found in the ancient books. He soon found that although what Joshua said sounds absurd, it can perfectly explain all the records in the past.

"Next... Is the illusion I saw at the Wanjie sacrifice hall."

At this time, Joshua sighed. He recalled the illusion he saw when he first went to Wanjie sacrificial hall before. It was countless scattered fragments of memory, as well as historical playback, sages, saints, many gods, and many voices of unknown people, Joshua clearly remembered the question that seemed to represent the anger of the whole world and the helpless Reply of sages.

You want my daughter to be one with that filthy, chaotic being? I will never allow it, I will never agree with it!]

It's the only way to save you and your daughter. I'm sorry, but I can only do that

[ah, ah, ah! I curse you! Curse you! Humans, elves, dwarves, all... Live in... I curse...]It's a great being's furious question, and a tired and helpless voice. It's the will of the world, the dialogue between Michael rove and sages on the inside of the world.

There was a mistake in the process of reconstructing the world by using the body of evil spirits. Originally, the gods intended to use the remaining initial fire of mccroft's world to burn chaos, and then gradually regenerate the world. In this way, the new continent may even be larger than the original seven continents combined, and the dying flame can also burn again. In this way, the world will be transformed into a new one, There's no need for a backup plan to rekindle the flame - but they overestimate the flame that remains in mccrov's world... After years of burning, on a day that no one expected, the flame goes out.

On that day, the sage went to the distant world of Galatia to inspect the place where the sinner was exiled. When he returned, it was too late.

Chaos spreads again, and this time, it is the gods who put chaos into the inner side of the world.

It feels that the existence that makes itself extremely disgusted is spreading in its own body. The steel python, who has been sleeping for a long time, wakes up in a rage. What it sees at first sight is the Earth Goddess, who takes itself as the core and forcibly suppresses all chaos in its own body. Its body is invaded by chaos, and its daughter, who has been with it for a long time, is also eroded by chaos, Because of chaos and into a crazy steel Python furiously want to destroy everything in the world, but was stopped by the gods and sages.

"Both the gods and the sages believed that there was a conspiracy and existence behind it. They did not dare to confront the gods directly, so they put out the fire from behind. But there was no evidence to support this argument, and the main point at that time was to calm down or suppress the will of the world, so there was no further study... And after that, there was no chance to further study. "

Joshua landed at the bottom of the lake. He walked slowly along the bank, overlooking the ancient temple at the bottom of the lake. The soldier's eyes were calm.

"I don't regret this choice. It's just possible that I can't see the world coming back to life again... Ha, I'm also a vain guy after all. I want to see my name praised."

As for her choice, the Earth Goddess did not regret it. She had made a good plan for sacrifice, but saw her mother eroded and crazy by the remains of the evil god. She was still sad: "one day, she will wake up."

Then he fell into a deep sleep and entered into the near eternal sleep of the gods.

However, the outside world, at a great cost, united to suppress the will of the world, the gods fell into a terrible civil strife.

Because they think the world is getting better and better, many gods have moved the tribes they sheltered from living in the half plane to the new continent of mirov. Because of the fury of the steel python, there are no more than ten of these tribes. As a result, more than a dozen races have perished, or only a few scattered adherents remain, In a flash, the gods with nothing in them are looking for the existence of all possible extinguished flames. They first find the dwarf God, who is responsible for guarding the core of the world, and then turn to the fire element God, who knows the flame well. Naturally, these two powerful gods do not want to be tied up and interrogated by a group of madmen who are overwhelmed by anger, They also have their own friends and supporters... An inexplicable battle begins.

The contradictions accumulated since ancient times, the discontent accumulated on weekdays, the ideas and roads that run counter to each other, and the natural enemies and opponents... The gods are not monolithic. What's more, some of them have fallen into madness. The sages want to stop this meaningless scuffle, but they stop it for the first time, and there is a second time. Since the flames of mutual hatred have been burning, It will never go out.

"This meaningless civil war lasted for three hundred years. Other races living on the mainland shivered under the anger of the gods. Only some gods who had not been dazed by the anger established shelters for the races, so that the races could continue."

With these last words, when they came to the edge of the underground lake, Joshua and Nostradamus went to the bottom of the underground lake and fell silent at the same time.

This is too unreasonable - the old mage wanted to say that, how could the gods start a war with each other because of such boring things? They join hands to defeat the evil gods and suppress the crazy will of the world. They are even willing to sacrifice for the world!

But immediately, his doubts turned into a sigh: although it seems crazy, there are no more such examples in reality. It's not amazing to join hands to defeat the enemy's comrades in arms and turn around to slaughter their compatriots.

"Where do these memories come from? Is the departure of sages a disappointment to the gods? " The old mage asked wearily.

"The goddess of the earth - or the land itself."

Joshua replied: "as for sages... He didn't feel disappointed with anyone, and didn't feel that anyone had done anything wrong. As long as he had the mind of his own will, conflicts between them would inevitably occur. He just didn't know that it would break out on that day.""He just doubts, doubts about the nature of the multiverse."

"Why are there evil spirits, why are there abysses? Why is order and chaos in such a situation? "

Coming to the temple at the bottom of the lake, Joshua reached out and touched the temple, which was shaking slightly and releasing the fluctuation of divine power. He whispered: "so after setting up some backhand, he went to the deepest part of the multiverse alone. He wanted to find the ultimate answer. Otherwise, even if he cultivated one civilization after another, it would be just another destruction."

At this point, Joshua couldn't help laughing: "it's funny that this temple mistakenly thought I was a pure blood Titan, so it sent me most of my memory. It passed the ancient memory to all the existence with Mother God's blood through the blood of steel, but only I can see it clearly."

"As for the purpose, Nostradamus, this is what I said before, which is beyond our imagination... This temple has two functions, one of which is the early warning device."

Turning his head, Joshua looked at Nostradamus. He and the old mage looked at each other: "the seal of the will of the world will be strengthened again, and before that, it will send a message to the whole multiverse - it has decided to use its identity of the will of the world as a chip and call for all beings who can hear it to destroy us."

"The identity of the will of the world?"

Nostradamus was shocked by Joshua's plain words, but soon he responded: "yes, it's not surprising... Behind those abyss Lords is actually a residual world will, which is equivalent to an abyss itself... This may be the so-called chip."

Although it sounds strange, it's actually not a very rare example. In addition to the abyss will and abyss Lord, the most powerful element Lord in some element planes is probably the will of that plane itself. For a mage, this is not something that is incomprehensible, or even common sense.

"As for another function, it is the hand left by mother earth."

At this point, Joshua looked up at the sky. His eyes penetrated the rock layer thousands of meters away, and he could see the divine power light wave crisscross the sky. It surrounded the whole world. Finally, in the eyes of the soldiers, it gradually formed a huge virtual statue of goddess. Joshua watched each other's slow reorganization in the sky silently.

Just like in all myths and legends, God also has his own preferences and desires. The goddess wants to know what the result of her sacrifice is and whether she can really save the world. Therefore, before the complete silence, he used his own flesh and blood to cast thousands of temples like this and suppressed them underground.

"In these temples, some of the blood of mother earth God in the past is used as the source of divine power. When the flame is completely rekindled, or the world shakes, these temples will be gradually activated, and then reorganized into the last remaining will of the goddess in the past... Look at the world."

Nostradamus blinked. He also looked up at the sky. The old mage asked with some doubts, "is he satisfied?"

"I don't know that."

Joshua said slowly, word by word, clear and powerful: "but don't worry."

In front of us, there is an ancient temple. On top of the temple, there are ancient murals depicting all the history of thousands of ethnic groups since they lit fires and waved stone tools. There are peace, war, great wonders, and ordinary farmland. The earth is watching and carrying all these things.

Outside, the light of divine power condenses on the high sky and turns into an image of a goddess who can't see clearly. He looks down at the world, nods slowly, and then turns into fragments of his style and spreads them all over the world.

Maybe it's a good harvest year.

The earth shakes, the rock shakes, and Joshua stares at the temple, as if gazing at the goddess a thousand years ago.

It's shining.

"He will never be disappointed."
