Soul of Burning Steel

Not an illusion, not an illusion.

Joshua’s perception is absolutely impossible to go wrong.

As an existence who has fought and defeated the ultimate sublimation aggregate, Joshua has gained a lot in that fierce battle, whether it is the use of various extraordinary powers, or the timing and future. The deduction of possibilities has been honed to a complete state in high-intensity confrontation, and everything is perfected.

Nowadays, no matter what power it is, whether it is psychic power, magic power, life energy, element, ether, or holy light and shadow, all the extraordinary powers that exist are mastered by today’s warriors. The most commonly used is steel born out of life energy. The power of this is indeed true, but this does not mean that he can only use the power of steel. Now Joshua can be said to be a master of the whole family, whether it is spellcasting or holy light.

Even if it is divine power, the power of the shadows is naturally among them. His sensitivity to these powers is definitely ranked in the top ten in the entire multiverse.

As the individual with the greatest profit in the battle with the near saints, Joshua was able to control the power of the Iron Python star in that battle, received the absolute data support of the triple curtain, and received the assistance of the many lives and civilizations of the entire multi-galaxy. I even got the information given by the Ultimate Sublimation Aggregate. If there is such a thing as’experience’ in this world, then this battle in the world of stars is undoubtedly one of the largest experience packages in the entire multiverse. , I am afraid it is only inferior to the Cthulhu.

With so much hardening and assistance, it is impossible for anyone not to make progress. Even if it is a bacterium, it should become the prototype of the ultimate sublimation polymer at this time. Qiao Xiuya is naturally no exception. He feels that he is compared to before the world of stars. , Took another big step on the road to the limit of the legend, although he has not yet reached the point of being close to the saint, but at least, he has cleared a lot of fog.

Especially when he is still in the world of stars, he has spread his own emotional power system. By collecting this kind of information similar to the sage’s creation of new extraordinary power actions, the previous hazy way of advancement has become clearer. Few, can even touch the threshold of the saint.

“If you are near the saint, I can do it too.”

This is the fact that what Qiao Xiu is worse now is only accumulation and time. He can be 100% sure that in the near future, he can quickly catch up to the realm of the ultimate sublimation aggregate and become a new generation of near saints.

“And life like Silver Fairy and No.1 is similar to the existence of Extreme Life in Extreme Sublimation Polymer, but their corresponding extraordinary power is the’Power of Steel’, and Extreme Sublimation Polymer itself is unique, I’m afraid It is the kind of power that creates a world of absolute self by simulating the initial fire…”

To be honest, the help that Extreme Sublimation Polymer brings to Joshua is almost as great as the threat it brings. Apart from other things, this new way of sage alone is a great gain. The “world life form” that is extremely similar to the opponent, Joshua can naturally continue the path of the ultimate sublimation aggregate. As long as he can condense something similar to the initial fire in his body like the opponent, then he can become Near the saint.

And this kind of path is completely opposite to the “sages” who created memes and concepts, and covered the multiverse with new extraordinary powers and constants… Just looking at it this way, they are actually two completely different sets of sages. Level system.

The silence of Qiao Xiuya during this period of time is to deduct relevant information and draw knowledge and information useful to him from it.

But now, I am afraid that this kind of thinking will have to be suspended for a while.

Because of the distance, the endless shadow power, the majesty that ordinary justice can’t imagine, against the torrent of the great demonic tide of the multiverse, backtracking upwards.

is just a moment of thinking, there is no time to hesitate, no time to analyze, no time to deduct and consider, it has already arrived.

[Shadow] has arrived.

The world of stars, and the endless void around it, was wrapped in deep shadows in a flash, and the entire world of stars escaped from the void silently and immersed in another weird and unusual space-time region. For a while, Qiao Xiu Ya found that everything around her had disappeared, only a faint black phantom was left, dancing with the light emitted from her body.

is like being immersed in the deep sea, surrounded by a weird medium completely different from the void.

“Strange, you are not a member of that world, then why do you stand in front of this world… It seems that you want to protect it?”

In the endless shadows, pure information comes. It manifests in the minds of others. It is sound, smell, fluctuations and other things that can be perceived by people. The feeling is like communicating from all angles. , The sense of touch can see, the vision is talking, each kind of extraordinary power has different ways to perceive and understand.

The message has a strange tone, and I can’t tell whether it is curious or indifferent.

“In the face of this endless shadow, are you not afraid? You even showed up and appeared here.”

Joshua looked around at the shadow surrounding him, but he did not answer. Because, it’s not a question of why not why. In the world of stars, the triple veil has been hit hard, the steel python star will sleep for thousands of years, and the Patriarch is in the ring of the four gods, studying how to continue self, and other sentient beings, even Don’t even know the arrival of the shadow.

At this moment, only he can act.

So he is here.

It’s that simple.

And the source of the information did not continue to ask the question. It seemed to have looked at Joshua in a certain way, and then said with a little surprise: “Wait, you are actually entangled with so much information?”

“What did I see? The creation of psychic energy (triple curtain), the inheritance of magical power (knowledge receiver), and you yourself are the representative of life energy. It is the world life element and the ether that surpass ancient dragons and void giants. No, but the Holy Light (Sage Inheritance) and Shadow (Shadow Demon King) are there too! You have actually been recognized by an abyssal world, signed a contract with them, and have been exposed to new shadow demons?”

The way of expressing information is very complicated. It seems to be a direct interpretation of all the information records carried on Joshua’s body. The same piece of information can express two almost the same meaning, but this does not affect the tone of surprise: “Even, the beast before Aura, you actually have the same, and it was the guardian of this world and you that eliminated it?”

It was supposed to be passing by, but on the road that has always been empty, I saw a huge world reef and special life beside the road, and the source of information stopped slightly. This time, I was really attracted. He began to condense his’sight’, and began to stare at Joshua.

“What are you? The fact that so much information and cause and effect can be involved is like the entire multiverse and all the sages are paying attention to you.”

And just between the transmission of information, an observable image begins to manifest in the shadows.

“This taste”

At that moment, Joshua frowned, because he smelled a unique breath from the abyss. There is no similar thing in the entire multiverse. It was born from the long dead world, belongs to ashes, and has not yet been born. It has the smell of’dead’.

That is the smell of ‘devil’.

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

is like a silhouette.

How to say? It was a very strange image, if I had to describe it, it was like a weird shadow play with light coming from nowhere, shining on a demon with long curved horns, huge wings and a long tail of thorns. The light will never last. Moving, but the silhouette of the devil changed, showing various gestures.

This kind of heterogeneous shape is an indescribable change. The depth of the shadow is always changing. It seems that the infinite change itself contains a certain mystery.

In the eyes of the demon silhouette, there are two deep black spots, leading to the endless distance, staring at Joshua, and then seeming to pass him, staring directly at the world of stars, and the information fluctuates: “So, here is the psychic energy. The hometown of the sage, where are the prototypes of countless world will… Ah, there are also the prototypes of psionic bugs, I have seen it, a design full of such kindness…”

The fluctuating information may not represent the “sage” in the usual sense, but Joshua knew that what the demon silhouette wanted to express was this transcendent individual who surpassed the near saint and was able to influence the multiverse.

“You are the sage of [Shadow].”

Joshua looked at each other with the silhouette of the demon, and he muttered: “The real sage… is so powerful, so…”

Originally, the warrior felt that if one day he could really see the sage, when he saw the existence of the’sage level’, he might be gloomy, excited, curious, and even brave enough to want to challenge. But now, it’s true. When he saw each other, Joshua found that he was unprecedentedly calm, as if everything should have been.

right here.

This infinite existence.

This kind of will and power that seems to be able to envelop the entire multiverse, time and space are meaningless, and everything that is limited is a creation.

If you want to, you can cross the world of stars in a flash. The reason why you stopped is probably because the world of stars is the hometown of psionic sages and my existence.

But even with this kind of existence, generations of sages are fighting against the darkness behind the scenes for endless years until now.

Knowing all this, Joshua took a step forward instead. He looked at the silhouette of the demon who exuded the aura of the abyss, as if proud of it, and then said in the clearest tone: “Sage, you are also going to There?”

Needless to say, everyone knows that ‘there’ refers to only one place, and that is the source of the magic wave and the direction of the initial fire.

“There is the origin of everything, and the end of everything.”

And replied: “Later, one day, you will also go this way.”

“Why? What happened to this multiverse? I have doubts in my heart, sage, I hope to be answered.”

There is no fear, even if you don’t know good or evil, you don’t know what it is, even if the opponent has the breath of abyss and demons, the soldier still asks, seeking the answer to the doubt in his heart.

The shadow is still spreading, towards the endless distance, but the silhouette stays in place. The ancient demon stares at the human beings in front of him. They have seen the existence of fearless abyss and devilish breath, and have also seen wanting to help the abyss and The existence of the devil once benefited from a ray of light. In fact, all beings and everything that existed have benefited, and generation after generation, time and time again, it is precisely because of this that there is this moment.

And the life in front of me is an individual who has left behind that light and is also striding towards the far side.

So he opened his mouth, just as the ancient past, another dead existence told Shi Shi.

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

The silhouette of the two horns danced, and a calm message flowed out: “Later, do you know the meaning of’extraordinary power’?”

“I know.”

Joshua replied, standing in the center of endless shadows, shining on himself, reflecting the shadows around him, his voice was firm: “That is inheritance, continuation, and existence, precisely because of these many extraordinary powers. Today’s multiverse and sentient beings only exist.”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

The message almost sighed in the hard place: “Sages, you call us so, and you also know that the existence of sages will bring changes to the multiverse. That is our inheritance and continuation. But you can know that, not only Only the existence of the sage will bring about change, and the death of the sage will also bring about change?”

“…” Qiao Xiu opened his mouth. He wanted to say something, but he was silent when he reached the lead. He couldn’t be sure of this. The warrior didn’t want to say his guess for the first time.

But the shadow answered him calmly.

“Psionic energy, the earliest known transcendental power in history, the power of the mind, and the changes brought about by its existence have created the multiverse universe, all the worlds, the will of the world, and the prototype of the steel python. ‘The changes caused by the passing away have led to the emergence of endless psionic bugs. They are the legacy of the sages. They feed on the unwillingness and evil thoughts in the minds of sentient beings, especially the sadness and despair of the destruction of civilization, the ones you saw on the way here. The huge psionic bugs have grown up to feed on the unwillingness of those who passed away on the way back.”

“If there is no psychic power, the power of the soul cannot be manifested, and the birth of life in the world will be even more difficult because of the lack of the will of the world. The existence of psionic bugs has prevented the proliferation of evil gods, which should have been when civilization was destroyed. The “100% will be born” Cthulhu has become an abnormal phenomenon that is rarely seen in the destruction of thousands of worlds now. It even curbs the crazy side effects that involve the duality of the mind and the hidden psychic energy.”

uttered a message that stunned countless civilizations, and the silhouette of the huge demon was still fluctuating: “Everything benefits, you and I are like this, and then it is magic.”

“It is the power of creation and popularizes the transcendence, which has significantly increased the number of transcendents and transcendents in the multiverse. Because of the nourishment of souls brought by magic, beasts can also have wisdom and be promoted to civilization, and the transcendence brought by magic The utility greatly accelerates the development of civilization. And the passing of the’sage of the demon’ led to the emergence of a great demon wave, which swept across the world, and rushed to the streets faster than ever before with extraordinary powers in order to give birth to more It’s even a bridge that guides all living beings with aspirations to the place of origin.”

“If there is no magic power, the number of intelligent lives in the multiverse will be reduced by 90%, and any creatures with souls as the main body will disappear. The fluctuations caused by the Great Demon Tide will create countless amazing and talented individuals. The sage, and even other near-sages, the strong, have benefited countlessly. Even if you are a latecomer, didn’t you reach your current realm in this demonic wave?”

indeed so. Joshua nodded silently. He did grow up in this period of the Demon Tide, and even the entire Starfall Era has risen because of it. It is conceivable that in the multiverse, how many civilizations and individuals have grown as a result.

The shadow continues: “Next, there is life energy.”

“Its existence makes the change of matter simple. Human will begins to be linked to matter, and creation becomes simple. Life can also appear in inorganic matter. You don’t even need a soul, but only need to be properly constructed. Life Even if I don’t know about the sage, it may exist, but the name has dissipated in the current multiverse, and the birth is even earlier than our known history, but it is certain that there is a change similar to the passing of the sage. These are the ancient dragons and the giant void beasts. They form the multiverse, the self-circulating system inside the multi-element galaxies, helping many galaxies to continue their lives.”

“If there is no life energy, there will be fewer possibilities for intelligent life, the cycle of the multiverse will come to an end early, the material world will be more difficult to change, and all the environment will be ten thousand times worse than it is now.”

“We have passed away, in the ancient past, but we still receive favors and survive in the residual temperature.”

Even the sage of the shadow, the message is with respect, the depth of the silhouette of the demon changes, making a gesture of tribute, and whispering: “And the sage of the element and the ether seems to still exist, at least, I have not observed Similar changes appear.”

“Elements divide the world and create a balance between the elements. You must know its utility, and I only say change. If the past world is destroyed, it will be completely destroyed, but because of the existence of the elements, the void in the air The element will enter the world of dying, 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 and unreasonable worlds, such as round sky, flat, concave and even hollow worlds. It allows small worlds to exist, so that The subtleties can also breed greatness. It even, together with the elements, divides the abyss and the normal world, and even creates the cycle of “creation vortex”.”

At this point, the message began to soften, with emotion, and Joshua, who listened carefully, heard the familiar vocabulary.

“Holy light.” The sage of the shadow said: “The holy light made me.”

“The Holy Light… made you?”

Qiao Xiuya was slightly taken aback. He stared at the shadow sage, staring into the endless and deep silhouettes, and then exhaled: “The abyss, the devil…ah, I see!”

Ignoring the warrior who seemed to recall something, the ancient shadow demon calmly said: “As you can see, I am a demon who has fallen into the dying world and lingering in the abyss, this point has not changed even now. I don’t want to change either.”

“I was born in a dead world. Before I was born, I began to experience the “dead” multiverse time trap. Those who came later, you should know this. And what I want to say is that the world galaxy where I live, its time velocity , Is hundreds of thousands of times faster than the galaxy of the ordinary world, it is the most fringe nirvana of the multiverse. In the already almost shattered abyssal world of decline, my group and I rely on the radiation energy of black holes to survive, Because all the stars have been extinguished, the white dwarfs have turned black, and the universe is only left with the embers of the mist of thin particles at the end of the entropy increase.”

Everything is close to extinction, a dying universe.

“In order to exist, just to live, this is the smallest and most humble desire of life. I study all the supernatural powers with great pains. I want to call out power from where I have nothing, or I want to take my race with me. Other shining galaxies…but that is too far away. Whether it is a difference in time system or because of the location at the edge of the multiverse, everything is impossible. I can’t see anything.”

Until that day, a dazzling light connected the multiverse.

“You can’t imagine, I was shocked at that time.”

Looking at Joshua with a shocked face, the silhouette of the demon said earnestly: “The latecomers are far more shocked than you are now. I sensed that something is calling me, calling everything in the multiverse.’ Abyss’ Of course, this call is too weak. I am afraid that only the abyss closer to the source can really respond, but I am different. My strength is very strong. I see the light. As long as there is light, no matter how weak it is. I can also sense the coordinates.”

“So, I came out, from the loneliness of the ages, from the Star River abandoned by the initial fire. I have achieved it, just like the existence of divine power, so that there is the birth of psychic energy, the creation of magic power, and the creation of magic. There will be changes in life energy, the differentiation of the elements, and the maintenance of the ether. It is precisely because of the shining of the holy light that there will be the continuation of the shadows. It is precisely because of the pureness that wants to help everything in the world and redeem everything. The kindness of suffering, so I can be here.”

“But the latecomers, the inheritors of the sages of the Holy Light, all this I have told is not the initial change of the multiverse. It is not me, nor is it the work of other pioneers.”

“…It’s the black hand behind the scenes.” Gazing at the shadows, Joshua solemnly said: “‘Chaos’ and’Cthulhu’, that is the earliest’change’ in the multiverse.”

“Yes.” The Shadow Sage said: “That’s why we embarked on this backtracking path. The truth about what happened to this multiverse is because the original changer affected the original fire.

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

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

The place where the radiance of the initial fire shines is where there exists, and the concept of finite and infinite is thus divided.

However, the initial fire creates the multiverse, there is a process. I don’t know what steps 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 demon’s silhouette continued: “It’s like a baby in a swaddle.”

“Originally, if the multiverse is allowed to develop naturally, then all the worlds are probably still in the primitive period of the universe, and no life can be born.

But due to an accident, or to say, the special mechanism of our multiverse, because the initial fire naturally’moves’, the initial time traps appear. In those first few that are thrown down by the initial fire, the relative time In the accelerating world, many “initial civilizations” and existences were born.

What exactly is it? What is the purpose? I don’t know anything about it. I can even say that because I don’t know anything about it, I have to go to the place of the initial fire… there may be a trap, a well-prepared prison, but But it is the place I must go.

But even so, there are still some things that can be analyzed. ”

After a pause, the shadow sage said: “First of all, the growth of the multiverse is actually our power accelerated by us sages, which has enriched the possibilities of the multiverse, and has allowed countless lives to exist colorfully, but all of this All go against the purpose.

seems to be unable to directly affect the initial fire, but it cut off the connection between the multiverse and the initial fire, and caused the galaxy where I was in the past, and many other world galaxies, to disappear and become annihilated.

I don’t want any civilization to develop and grow, but any civilization that has the potential to exist forever will be wiped out by the Cthulhu group, and such a cycle is an entire ‘civilization era’.

Where we are now is the end of such a cycle. ”

In this way, the message sent by the shadow sage has an unprecedented serious tone: “I guess the purpose is to get rid of everything except the initial fire, and then make the multiverse reborn. Only this can explain it. .”

“And Cthulhu, as a solidified eternity, may be a way to preserve the many civilizations of the multiverse…After all, if there were no resistance from the sages of the past, all civilizations that have existed would end up with Cthulhu. .”

Qiao Xiu listened carefully. All of this was similar to what he had guessed and the thinking of the ultimate sublimation polymer, but in more detail, but at the end, he couldn’t help feeling ridiculous: “So, isn’t it so bad at home? Actually plan to use this method to preserve a sample of civilization?”

“You have said that the sample, don’t you still feel the maliciousness?”

The silhouette of the devil shook his head with a heavy tone: “Determine the future of the multiverse without authorization, treat us as nothing, take civilization and life as samples to see our stable life and stable development, as long as everything is as normal as the initial fire. The countless multi-element galaxies that have disappeared, and the countless worlds now reduced to abysses, are probably still bathed in warm light.”

“After doing all this, how can we be regarded as’not bad enough to be home’? We don’t treat us as life at all. If this is the case, we naturally have to fight, no matter what we want to do, we will never get our wish!”

This is the initial heart of resistance. From the long or short past of the multiverse, it continues to the present, like a burning will.

“I’m leaving, the latecomers, the sage of the light still need me, the sage of the element and the ether may still exist, waiting for my arrival.”

The silhouette of the devil gradually began to return to a surging shadow, pure information flowing: “This time, perhaps for the first time in history, there are two sage-level existences, born almost simultaneously on the time scale of the multiverse There were also two sages before, and there was no passing change, either they were in a stalemate, or they were waiting for us.”

“My participation in the war with the holy light may be able to break the deadlock.”

“Are you leaving.” Joshua knew that this moment would finally come. Everything is better than the worst. Although he is an abyssal demon, the shadow sage has good intentions and answered his questions in detail. Perhaps it is because the identity of the heir to the sage has once again played a role. Standing in front of the shadows with death will, he is not only alive now, but also knows a lot of information.

But the warrior still feels ashamed that he can’t keep up with the pace of the sages because of himself at this time. Coupled with what the Extreme Sublimation Aggregate said before, this era is the last hope. He doesn’t know if he can catch up in the future. The last train.

Joshua expressed his doubts. He asked the shadow sage who was about to leave when the last chance would disappear and when the end of the era would come.

But he got an unexpected answer.

“Don’t worry about this.”

The infinite shadows both move towards the distance and exist here at the same time. In the shadows swaying around the God of Steel, there is a disturbing message: “The essence of the Great Demon Tide is to force it through infinite energy. The original fire and the disconnected multiverse are once again linked together, so that the latecomers, just like you and me, can go back up through this surging wave and go to the origin of all things.

Although it is said that the maintenance brought by the Great Demon Tide is indeed about to be cut off, I will add to it.

“It’s not just me, the sage of the holy light, that is, the holy sage in your heart, do the same. The holy light can also be seen as a coordinate. In the multiverse, all natural light sources are changing, and they will all change It has certain characteristics of the Holy Light, and the Light of the Demon Tide will be so. As long as you study the Holy Light, even if the path of magic is cut off, you can still rely on the path of the Holy Light to advance.

And I, the sage of the shadows, the ‘shadow space’ I created can survive by the existence of the void itself even if the multiverse has fallen into silence. As long as the initial fire still exists, no matter how far it has gone, no matter how dark the multiverse is, the shadow space will always be its shadow, derived from its power.

This era is indeed over, but you still have a future, because I have created this future and gave it to you. ”

The infinite [shadow] is gradually disappearing.

No, it is not disappearing, but transformed into another form, another peculiar ‘space’!

Joshua opened his eyes. With his approach to the near-sage-level observation method, he could see that a hyperspace network composed of shadow spaces was emerging in the entire multiverse!

It is like a spider web, connecting one star river after another, one multi-element star river after another shadow, it connects all the shadows, just as all the light is connected by the holy light, a brand new one, leading to the magic The path of the source of the tide and the initial fire appeared inside the torrent of the blazing white magic tide.

This means of connecting all worlds, the shadow subspace, is exactly the “wish” of the shadow sage, and it is also a manifestation of power. It continues on the path of the devilish tide that is about to be severed, and connects all the multiple galaxies with the most direct means .

“The forerunner leaves a way for the latecomers. We are blessed by them, so we can exist.”

“Latecomers, leaving a way for the latter, I will give you the future, but no thanks.”

“Because I believe that latecomers, you will do the same thing. All the blessings, gifts and continuations, back and forth, often come back, it is the embodiment of eternal order and civilization!”

Finally, when the sage in the shadows really left and headed to the place of origin, Joshua could hear that the other party’s voice was full of kindness, just like all the kindness that he had experienced back then, the gentle voice.

“You already possess the power to surpass nearly all civilizations and lives, but so far, pursuers are still fighting and pursuing the truth… Is it because you can’t bear to stop? Then go on, there are many enemies, and your road is still long. , Move forward as far as possible and I, as well as other sages, will be waiting for you in front, at the end of eternity, waiting for the arrival of’battle’ (you).”

“Remember, latecomers, our lives and civilization do not exist for the world! On the contrary, the world, and even the future of the multiverse, extends in front of us because of our existence!”

[Shadow] left, disappearing in the seemingly endless path of the magic tide, only the same endless shadow path extending in the torrent.

From beginning to end, I never asked Joshua’s name, a name that Joshua didn’t know.

But this is not important, because their identities are the forerunner and the latecomer, the former looking forward to the latter, and the latter chasing after the former.

The normal void, and the world of stars, once again appeared behind the warrior.

But Joshua’s heart couldn’t be calm for a long time, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

“…Wisdom is immortal~www.wuxiax.com~ Order will last forever, and the inheritance will go back and forth until now.”

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

One after another sages stepped forward, even if they passed away, they would have to make changes, and win even a little hope for the future of this multiverse.

But this is far from enough. Even if it is the passing of several sages, it can only be said that it must be attributed to the end of the future, forcibly delayed a little bit backwards.

But there is nothing to fear.

Because, from yesterday to today, from today to tomorrow, from tomorrow to the next tomorrow, generation after generation, one forerunner after another is doing this, we have done everything we have, and we have to be latecomers, Compete for more possibilities and add some ethereal chances of victory in the future.

“Even if tomorrow is the abyss, the endless Naraku, I will not stop.”

Opened his eyes, Joshua calmly raised his hand, watching the source of the magic wave, looking at the distant space and time, just like the extreme sublimation aggregates that died not long ago.

He clenched his fists, as if trying to catch the illusory light.

Because of the yesterday of countless people, this has made me today.

And my today must exist for the tomorrow of countless people.

Volume 18, The End of the Abyss Tomorrow
