After a few days.
According to the tracking of the Book of Karma, Xia Ping finally arrived at an area near Gaia Paradise.
"No way, this place is actually near the dark restricted zone?!"
Xia Ping squinted his eyes. He found that Gaia Paradise actually appeared next to the dark restricted zone, hidden in a void node deep in the void. If it wasn't for the Book of Karma, he really couldn't find the specific location of Gaia Paradise .
Because the dark restricted area is really too dangerous, no one knows how huge it is, and there are twisted spaces everywhere, layer upon layer.
It is said that even if an invincible saint enters it, he will get lost in the dark restricted area.
Even if you don't enter the dark restricted zone, but you are just nearby, there will be layers of spaces that are constantly distorted. The ancient sages have to be careful when they come here.
Otherwise, it will be swallowed by the distorted power of time and space in an instant, and exiled into the eternal void and turbulence.
"Dark restricted area?!"
Xia Ping stared at a dark and empty area in the distance. This place is the most mysterious area in the entire universe. Even the invincible saint who has lived for countless years does not know much about this place.
Under the observation of his Golden Crow Eye of Hell, he found that the dark restricted area was covered with dense prohibition formations, one after another fused together, which seemed to form an independent void law.
Vaguely, the area of the forbidden area of darkness seems to be incompatible with the laws of the universe, like a cancer of the universe, constantly absorbing the energy of the universe.
If it were other saints, they might not be able to see what the secret of the dark restricted area was, but under Xia Ping's observation, he suddenly discovered that the dark restricted area was a huge lair.
"I see."
In an instant, Xia Ping clenched his fists. According to the memory of the Feathered Serpent God, Chaos Jellyfish and other dominant gods, in fact, similar lairs have appeared in other universes.
It's called Doomsday Shelter.
Because the universe has a lifespan, when the lifespan of the universe ends, even the master-level gods will fall with them, and the more powerful the gods, the faster they will die.
If you want to prolong your own life, the only way is to prolong the life of the universe, let the universe live out the second life and the third life.
However, it is not that simple to prolong the life of the universe. I don’t know how many gods have tried every means to achieve this. In the end, they can only watch the universe fall and die themselves.
However, in the process of constant exploration, some gods still figured out a second way to survive, which is to create a doomsday shelter.
This kind of sanctuary is different from the laws of the universe and is self-contained. If ordinary life lives in such a sanctuary, it can resist the power of the collapse of the universe.
Thus live to the next cosmic epoch.
Just like dragons, phoenixes, basalts, unicorns and other animal races are like this. They are the powerful gods of their respective races who built shelters, allowing some weak clansmen to enter, and survive the collapse of the universe. to the beginning of the second era.
But the gods are not that simple, because their strength is too powerful, and they are too deeply entangled with the origin of the universe and the laws of the universe, and their souls are almost integrated into the origin of the universe.
So when the universe collapses, the true spirits of these gods will also be destroyed, and even the sanctuary cannot protect their lives.
Because ordinary life is not too deeply entangled with the origin of the universe, it can survive and live to the second era.
Of course, because they are not beings born in this era, their identities are no different from beings in other universes, and they will be the same as beings in other universes. Once they appear, they will be targeted by the origin of the universe everywhere.
In fact, in the chaos, many beings from other universes have become wanderers in the chaos and void in this way. They cannot enter any universe, nor can they return to this universe, and can only wander in the chaos and void.
Once discovered by the monsters of Chaos and Void, it is estimated that they will die and be swallowed in one bite.
As for the gods, they were naturally unwilling to fall like this, so they spent countless hours and deduced countless times, and finally found a way to survive.
This way of survival is to feign death!
That is to say, they want to deceive the law of the origin of the universe and forcibly break free their true spirits from the origin of the universe, so that they can fake death so that they will not fall with the universe.
The problem is suspended animation, and there is a price to pay.
If you want to break free the true spirit of the gods from the origin of the universe, you will inevitably be backlashed by the origin of the universe. Even the master-level gods cannot bear such a price, and basically you will almost die.
Even if this plan is successful, they will be extremely weak and unable to exert their strength for a long time.
So in order to protect themselves, these gods spent countless resources and built cemeteries of gods one by one, just to protect them from being killed by other lives when they are resurrected.
Judging from the scale of this dark forbidden zone, it is obvious that the gods of the last cosmic era did succeed, otherwise the power of this dark forbidden zone would not be so terrifying.
"No, no, it's not just as simple as the last cosmic epoch."
Xia Ping's eyes showed a gleam of light.
We must know that the universe is reincarnated, and after an incomparably long time, we don't know how many times it will reincarnate.
If it is some powerful gods, maybe there is a way to survive one era after another.
That is to say, the god who died in this dark restricted zone may not only be from the last cosmic epoch, but also from the last cosmic epoch, or even the last cosmic epoch.
It is precisely because of this that, after epoch after cosmic epoch, the impetus of countless gods has caused this dark forbidden zone to be so tyrannical.
And this place also hides countless secrets in the universe.
The cosmic life in this era actually obtained innumerable benefits in the dark forbidden zone. For example, several artifacts of the human race were found in the dark forbidden zone.
"Are these gods going to be resurrected?"
Xia Ping squinted his eyes. He can fully imagine that if the current universe evolves to a certain level and the suppression of the gods of the previous era weakens, they will definitely crawl out of the grave one by one and recover instantly.
In a short time, there will be countless gods in the universe, those gods of the old age.
At that time, the so-called peak races, human race, monster race, Zerg race, elemental race, etc., I am afraid that they will not be the opponents of these gods, and they will all be enslaved by these gods.
The entire universe will also fall into a dark age.
He knew that when those gods were alive in the universe of the evil gods, human life didn't know how miserable it was.
To be honest, such a situation is probably many times more dangerous than an abyssal monster invading the universe without even knowing it.
