The path of ashes.
In the past, Ian has foresaw many paths, whether it was the initial swarm of insects, or the subsequent spiritual disaster, whether it was the further extinction of stars and eternity, or the ongoing arcana... Every Every path has its own unique features.
The fantasies beyond ordinary people, the technology far beyond this era itself, and the attempt to reach the stars are enough to turn their color into 'gold' or even dye it into 'rainbow'.
However, the Ashes path is different.
This time, the first thing both Ian and King Jhin saw was pitch black.
That is, composed of endless scarlet fire and ash, a deep darkness that can swallow up all light and burn out all hope.
Then, in the darkness, a little rainbow appeared.
"Surprisingly..."
Even Ian can't help but feel shocked at this moment, because all the roads he has seen have never seen such darkness that is almost 'certain to death'... It would be better to say that he has not seen such darkness for a long time. In the future, he poses a mortal threat to himself. In today's Terra continent, there is no possibility of killing him without any resistance.
But speaking of this, I, who was on the path of Star-Destroying, met the end at the end, which should theoretically be an inevitable death, but for some reason there was no dark omen.
What's the difference between the two?
Don't know. So keep reading.
Under the prophet's gaze, the path to the future emerges from nothingness.
It all starts in Port Harrison.
Without a younger brother, Ian's experience in Harrison Port was very different from his current life. The Ian who developed the Ashes Path should be an earlier Ian, and his mode of action was not normal. Exploration, but a rebirth similar to 'exploring different possibilities in multiple rounds'.
Relying on his identity as an appraiser, he ventured into the jungle many times, chose to be loyal to Viscount Grant, and became a member of the core circle of Harrison Port as the successor of Elder Puder. Ashes Ian did not show much concern for the outside world. Curious', since he hadn't had too many memories deleted at that point.
He has a good relationship with Viscount Grant's many loyal men, the city defense officer Sir Yam and the financial officer Lamar. Both of them take good care of him as a young child, and Ian also knows the 'branch' behind these two people. .
Sir Yam is relatively simple. As the right-hand man of Viscount Grant, he has several smuggling lines in his hands and has accumulated a lot of wealth. He also guards the various potion materials and wealth stored by the Grant family.
He is not corrupt. This old man mainly has a bit of hamster disease. He obviously has a lot of money but hides it all. In one life, Ian even took all his money as start-up capital, but when he became rich When he returned to Port Harrison to return it to Sir Yam, he didn't even realize that he had been stolen.
Lamar is a little more serious.
He has private contact with the Feiyan Special Forces!
It sounds very nerve-wracking to say, but in fact it’s okay. As a wandering red people who fled from the Flying Fire Land, Lamar holds a high position in Harrison Port. In the eyes of the Flying Fire Land Special Forces, this He was the best target to instigate rebellion, so various instigations and threats against Lamar emerged one after another. Lamar had no idea of betraying Viscount Grant and firmly refused every time.
Even after knowing this, Viscount Grant wanted Lamar to pretend to agree to the other party in order to seduce those flying bugs, but Lamar also refused.
Although he did not tell Viscount Grant the reason, Ashes Ian got to know the conversation between Lamar and his sister by chance.
The content of the conversation is complex and private.
Krendel's meaning is very simple. The Viscount does have a life-saving grace and great love for them. It is absolutely impossible to betray them. But if the Viscount abandons them, then she will give the Viscount one last warning to ensure that everyone is safe. life-saving grace, and then left Port Harrison.
Lamar also admitted that the reason why he did not contact Feiyandi was because he was afraid that after the Viscount abandoned them in the future, he would not be able to help but contact Feiyandi and do something harmful to Harrison Port - he could not bear it. Temptation, so don’t have anything to do with temptation in the first place.
That's what they said, but from their tone, Ian could tell that these two would not run away at all... They would stay in Harrison Port and die with Viscount Grant, or even take Viscount Grant with them. !
"How come the Lamar brothers and sisters have such yandere personalities? Viscount Grant is so dangerous? If you are more careful, I'm afraid I won't be needed, and your life will be at risk..."
Ian is a little nervous. Viscount Grant's harem seems quite difficult to deal with, and he doesn't know how he can coordinate perfectly in this world... But if you think about it carefully, Viscount Grant is pure and dedicated. After the child was born, he transformed into a good father. According to Terra's morality, he was truly a first-class, pure and perfect nobleman, and it was normal not to fall over.
All this is quite interesting for Ian, but for King Jhin beside him, it is a bit unclear.
However, he keenly noticed something was wrong.
——These don't seem to be the future...but the past!
From Ian's perspective, Ash Ian himself cannot actually be seen, but it can be inferred through the relationships between various people around Ash Ian, and the King of Ash can also vaguely see that all this seems to be related to their original plan to target the southern part of the empire. Ridge's strategic actions.
That was quite some time ago, and development seems to be different from reality.
Could it be that... is another possibility?
King Jhin suppressed the curiosity and doubts in his heart and continued to look from Ian's perspective.
In this world line, most things develop in the same order. In the Great Maze incident in the South China Sea, Ashes Ian did not participate too much like in the original life. He only entered the Great Maze in the South China Sea with Wiggs at the end to fight against the swarm of insects. , and finally, together with Isengard and others, witnessed the end of Hilliard.
【Really? ! 】
During this process, King Jhin opened his eyes wide, and the majestic fifth level also became a curious crowd.
Even he did not know the many events in the South China Sea Labyrinth, and Hilliard actually passed away at this time. Doesn't that mean that Ian Yinfeng simply relied on his own strength to develop the arcana? Dharma Path, instead of inheriting the legacy of Inaga and Hilliard as they thought?
Thinking about it this way, it was not unjust for me to lose.
The reversal happens here.
I don’t know what went wrong, maybe it’s the ‘difference’ in parallel time and space. The news from Wiggs was leaked - the new generation of patrol knights who knew the news about Hilliard, led by Deputy Frost Trail Most of the patrol knights led by the regiment leader rushed directly to Harrison Port at full speed. Viscount Grant was controlled immediately, and the entire Harrison Port and the South China Sea Great Maze were under martial law.
There are even rumors that His Majesty the Emperor was touched by the news and would personally come to the South China Sea border.
Theoretically speaking, if the Sun Bird wants to come, it will arrive the next second. But Ian knows that at this time, Axel is probably still at the edge of the orbit of Terra's solar system to deal with his disaster of light, and he will not be able to come back until he sets off for the Imperial Capital, which should be a projection clone.
If you think about it carefully, the prophecy of the Hall of All Souls was at that time. Axel should have known the news about Isengard and the Great Labyrinth of the South China Sea before setting off back to the Imperial Capital, and he happened to be there after the other party came back. During that time, I immediately sensed the danger and went back to my hometown to farm.
Under the comparison of multiple time and space, we can discover the logic behind more events.
But for Ash Ian, this is the worst situation - although he has received the inheritance of the Immovable Castle, the eyes of the empire have noticed him, and he cannot go on a trip to the imperial capital or anything else. Taking risks, Isengard was directly protected as the emperor's grandson.
There is only one possibility to escape the empire's sight.
Run!
Run away to Flying Flame Land, Whale Song Cliff or Canaan Moore!
This choice may determine the difference in the path, but obviously, Ashes Ian chose the Flying Flame Land.
Then...
Time begins to speed up.
[What? 】
The King of Jinder was also shocked: [You joined the Flying Flame Land? I do not know how? ! 】
[No, why didn’t you join Feiyandi when you saw this possibility? 】
King Jhin didn't quite understand the nature of Ian's prophecy. He thought it was Ian's prophetic ability - to directly see through a possible future, so he couldn't figure it out at once. Moving forward with the trend of time, why not go like this.
But soon, he also figured it out: [I see, this is your prophetic ability... You must have seen a better future, which is who you are now. It’s just that the future I see now is a possibility based on the cause and effect between you and me]
[In this future...can I, as you see, burn for longer than I imagined? 】
"That's it."
Ian responded softly, carefully observing the details of all this.
After Ember Ian joined the Flying Flame Land, he quickly gained the attention of this generation of Flame Abyss King. As a 'temporary teammate' who had a certain relationship with Hilliard and Isengard, he met the Ember King. .
Then, rapid development began.
The character of King Jhin is destined to not care about how incredible Ian's genius is, but to accept it indifferently.
And Ian has undoubtedly grown rapidly. After helping King Jin solve many local people's livelihood development problems, as well as development and progress issues related to the way of sublimation, he was directly appointed as the Crown Prince of Yanyuan. Next It is to compete with other people of the Absalom bloodline for the right to inherit the 'blood of the throne'.
The competition process is quite cliché, it is nothing more than military exploits, group competitions, research paper releases, etc., but Ian in a smooth show of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and blasting a group of antiques with a paper that is beyond the times. After taking the world view, he successfully became the only two supreme heirs of Feiyandi.
He then confessed his identity as a prophet.
【Ah? 】The reaction of King Jhin at that time was exactly the same as that of King Jhin in reality. It could even be said that they were exactly the same and incredible: 【You just revealed your identity as a prophet at this time? What did you waste so much time on before? ! 】
"Mainly to collect data." Ian mused: "After such a competition, I have collected all the data of the King of Feiyan Land, and my prestige plus the prophet, there is no one else." Enemy."
Unlike the Empire, the Empire's bloodline is too stable and its power is too large to be easily changed like Feiyandi.
Becoming the de facto second-in-command of Feiyan Land, Ashes Ian is extremely easy to promote various social improvements and sublimation research.
The King of Jhin also allowed Ian to do whatever he wanted.
It was at this time that Ashes Ian participated in research related to the ‘Reincarnation of Fire’.
As Ian thinks now, the Reincarnation of Fire itself is very crude, because the Flying Flame Land does not have the resources like the Empire to advance the details of the plan, but as the host, King Jhin has indeed mastered the core skills, at least Regarding the Demon Legion, King Jhin and the Chrysalis have indeed determined the possibility of 'artificial demons' and conducted a series of experiments respectively.
Under the auspices of Ian, the details of the Reincarnation of Fire were rapidly fleshed out, and related research on 'human nature', 'virtual distortion', and 'ether circulation' were completed in sequence, and the world war also started as scheduled.
This time, there was no arcane way to ease the war between various countries, and the power of the Flying Flame Land became stronger with the help of Ashes Ian, who withstood the Empire's floating city raid and killed the Empire's power. Death dragged around the Absalom Mountains.
Then... Mikael raided the imperial capital, Axel was severely damaged, the empire lost its ability to attack foreign countries, and wars around the world became more and more intense.
That was a sign of the end of the world.
The endless flames of war have burned the entire world. As the wars between countries around the world become more and more cruel, real fire is being fought, and the death toll is also rising. Various dangerous technologies that should have been used with caution have been put into practical use one by one. .
The four orthodox religions gathered a group of civilians, but this was only the last seed and could not stop the continuation of the war - but it was the Far Coast Island that completely intensified the war and pushed the world into doomsday.
——Since you are unwilling to let us have land, we will not take any responsibility for the continent of Terra.
With the beginning of the 'Great Migration' plan, all members of the Far Coast Island withdrew from the Terra continent. Cangxing led the national immigration fleet to the new continent, and the mantle plume originally located on the Far Coast Island soon disappeared due to the western Terra. The war and ether shock broke out, and the terrifying flames spread, instantly engulfing all areas west of the Outer Flying Flame Land and the Dark Mountains.
High-heat hurricanes, tsunamis and horrific earthquakes swept across western and central Terra. Countless civilians, ordinary people and even some weak Ascended Ones were unable to withstand such natural disasters.
Even with the protection of two fifth-level powerhouses, Feiyan Land still suffered a huge impact. A large number of coastal areas and port cities were swallowed up, and the Sea of Tranquility turned into a closed inland sea, and was destroyed by the earth's mantle. The heat boiled, causing the terrible smoke to cover half of the continent.
People die like grass and turn into ashes. No one can be saved. No matter they are good people or evil people, whether they are dreamy or ignorant, whether they are wise people and monsters or insects without their own thoughts, they are all useless. two.
It's all ashes.
Both Ian and King Jhin watched this scene and fell into silence.
As Ian originally predicted in Harrison Port, there is no need for the end or the end of the world. Humanity will destroy itself. It only takes one war to kill more than 90% of the world. people.
And when the fifth energy level takes action, it is more than 99%.
At this point, it’s no longer possible if the reincarnation plan doesn’t start.
Therefore, even though many details are still quite rudimentary, even though many technologies are not yet fully mature, the entire territory of Feiyan Land has begun to 'devil transform'.
However, just the population of Feiyan Land cannot reach the lower limit of 'reincarnation'. To cause the distortion of the virtual world, twist the originally smooth flow of psychic energy-ether into a recurring circulation, and distort the real world into a virtual dream, more than 2.7 billion "artificial demons" are needed.
"Dad, just go and implement the reincarnation plan."
[What about you? 】
"Since this world will turn into ashes no matter what...then now, I will add fire."
[...I don’t understand what you mean]
""I'm going to destroy all the remaining humans and ascendants and transform them into demons. Don't worry, no one will survive. ”
"I have this confidence."
"Do you have this confidence? No, wait, could it be that before this, I have already achieved the achievement of 'Slaughtering All of Terra'?"
Even if he could only hear the sound, even if he could only see the tired face of King Jhin, Ian was still a little unable to hold on, and King Jhin was even more shocked to stare at the fragments of time. He stared at it blankly. After a while, he then turned to look at Ian Silver Peak, the great prophet who "loved all mankind" in his heart, and couldn't help but take a breath: [Are you talking to me? 】
"Probably." Ian thought for a while, then nodded and admitted, but he immediately dismissed the blame: "But part of the reason must be because of your education!"
——Fart, I’m not that extreme!
King Jhin originally thought that he was already extreme, but only after meeting Ian who was on other paths did he realize what true extreme means.
But he was also very curious about the next development, so he remained silent and continued to read.
Next... everything goes smoothly.
In front of Ian who has grown to the limit, no matter which Ian is, as long as he takes the time and does not mind destroying the world, he can always defeat any opponent he wants to defeat. As the entire world gradually became a broken wasteland, Terra, which was originally green and full of vitality, also turned into an apocalyptic world full of lava and broken crust.
But even this is an abyss planet that is worse than **** and more doomsday than doomsday.
A raging flame ignited the virtual realm and started reincarnation.
Reincarnation.
When the Apocalypse server started operating, and all the backed-up human memories, thoughts and souls were thrown into the already chaotic and pitch-black virtual world and turned into demons, the virtual world also began to distort and change.
——At first, the world was empty.
There are only broken rocks, burning earth and boiling black water, and everything is shrouded in chaos.
Until one day, the first fire appeared in the dark chaos... The flames shone through the darkness, brightening the nothingness. Things that did not exist before were created, and everything that had disappeared appeared again.
A new world was created.
Human beings in the new world have the memory of 'previous lives'. In any sense, they are the same people as before, but they cannot correctly recognize themselves because of the distortion of the virtual world and demonization, and the Apocalypse server is They erased all painful memories so that they could live peacefully in the new world.
For them, all this is no different from the disaster: they are protected in a huge shelter, and wait until the war world, the world is reborn. And now, it's just about building a home again.
The new world is boundless and broad, because everything is an expansion and imagination of the virtual world. People happily start from scratch, build towns and cities, and once again outline the country and society. People thrive in it and continue to struggle and compete. .
Because we are not starting from scratch, there are many people with professional knowledge. In the first few decades of reincarnation, 'reincarnation humans' have built quite stable settlements and social structures.
But for some reason, technology has not developed, and the number of sublimators is very small. People maintain the city-state social structure, fighting with the power of the highest second energy level, and the highest science is nothing more than Artillery and steam engines were created, and further internal combustion engines and alchemy engines were already the most cutting-edge and advanced technologies in various countries and could not be widely used.
And this certain reason is the limit of ‘reincarnation’.
With the third energy level of the mind-light body, they will realize the truth of the world. They will notice that they are living in a false dream and they will also notice all the irrationalities in this world.
The power of all high-level people in the past, after they were killed and put into reincarnation, became the power itself to maintain reincarnation. Even though reincarnation can recycle all energy almost losslessly, the higher the base, the higher the quality of reincarnation.
Although the power at the peak of the second energy level can defeat the army, it can still be defeated by low-level sublimators and various alchemical artillery crowds. Therefore, the war in this world is more stable compared to the original Terra. , society is also more stable.
As for technology, just because these reactions are relatively simple and cannot be carried by the server - higher-level ether reactions will involve the nature of the virtual realm and will still cause instability in the world.
Explore the world slowly, develop territories slowly, reproduce and grow slowly.
Everything in the world of reincarnation is stable. Although there are still many joys and sorrows in the world, and there are still many regrets, it is not like a fifth-level strongman will suddenly go crazy and want to transform the entire world into what he wants. The way you want it.
And this world also has many adventures, battles and stories. The exploration of distant places, the experiences of adventurers, the legends of mercenaries, those classic swords and magic, and the battles between city-states are enough to hold people's hearts.
Soon, soon.
Thousands of years have passed, tens of thousands of years have passed, and the world still exists.
Everything remains the same. Although people have developed many new technologies and entered the electronic age, this is the limit. People are immersed in a stable society and continue a life that will not end no matter how long it takes.
Fifty thousand years.
This is the lifespan of the First Age.
The reason for the end is also very simple.
The distortion reaches its limit. The essence of artificial demons gradually turns newborns into real demons. The passage of humanity and the deterioration of souls begin to cause monsters to appear. The originally peaceful world encounters the 'Destroying Demonic Disaster', and in the face of In this demonic disaster, there are no heroes to turn the tide, and there are no undead people and ashes to continue the world.
The world was destroyed by a demonic disaster.
Then, all the twisted virtual realm began to flow back, shrink... and move towards the initial flame.
"Is it okay?"
【Easier than expected. Fifty thousand years of time can actually pass by like water... It's hard to imagine the time when we were still human in the past.]
【Is there anything happening outside? 】
"A few years after the reincarnation began, the Catastrophe of Light broke out. Terra was broken into half, and the rest turned into a lava planet. It has not completely cooled down yet, but the evaporated water was condensed by me into If you find a meteorite, you can wait until it cools down and throw it back to Terra to reshape the ecology."
"As for the half of the mass lost, take your time. Anyway, you can wait for the cosmic dust to condense."
[...I am just rekindling the flame, but you are really going to create the world again]
【Aren't you lonely? 】
"The Dragon Kings handed over Dragon Island to me. Now I have to guard the seal, and at the same time, I have to suppress the remaining Thousand Stars. It will depend on it to rebuild Terra in the future. Overall, I am very busy. But everything is on track, and I can also rely on Dragon Island to accelerate my time. Fifty thousand years won’t be long.”
【Then let's begin, the second reincarnation】
The First Age is over.
Then, came the beginning of the Second Era.
Start everything from scratch, start from scratch.
It's like a game that is constantly being rolled out and restarted. After the initial players invest, the world starts to move spontaneously, and then is reborn again and again.
Some people return to the server after finishing the beginning, while some people choose to enter a later time in development. The Terran souls in the Revelation server are the so-called players, and the information they copy is the player. Everything is It won't change, and it will be as fresh as the first time they play it countless times.
Essentially, the Samsara of Fire is not a living world.
But a tombstone.
Stored everything in the Terran civilization, relying on the ritual of 'reincarnation', the 'fire' that can be preserved almost forever.
"Wouldn't it be boring?"
【No】
“Aren’t you tired of seeing the exact same world?”
【A little bit】
"The thirty-fourth reincarnation... is almost two million years ago. The surface of small Terra has cooled down. We can try to use thousands of stars to collect solar energy and cosmic dust to restore the quality of Terra."
"Can you still persist?"
【Also】
[Both humans and demons are all ashes after all. As long as the core data is not damaged, the cyclic ‘circulation’ caused by the intersection of the virtual world and the material world will continue]
[If it lasts, I can last, don’t worry about me, Ian, just do what you want to do]
【You go and wait for the result you want, let me continue burning】
The King of Jhin is never tired or bored.
Many people have said that eternal life is a curse.
The person who lives forever will lose everything, lose what he loves, and lose what he wants. The person who lives forever will lose it again and again, leaving nothing but himself.
The eternal person will bid farewell to all his cares. He will lose his humanity, his animality, his fear of death, and his yearning for life. The eternal person will eventually lose his desire for eternal life, and then give up his life.
For short-lived humans, not denying everything about eternal life seems to be mocking the shortness of their lives.
So, how does he feel about King Jhin, who can be regarded as 'eternal' in a sense?
The answer is nothing.
From beginning to end, King of Jhin has no superfluous thoughts.
He indeed lost everything and could not even perceive the world. He can only watch from the perspective of a bystander as reincarnation progresses at a speed of dozens or hundreds of times. Even if he can speed up his thinking and observe an individual's life, just like watching a movie or reading, and reading everything in this world, he will still be unable to do so after all. I will watch a movie, read a book, and feel the melancholy at the end of the story.
Even if he has nothing left, he will still lose.
But King Jhin doesn't care about this.
【Why do some people think eternal life is pain? 】
【Why do you feel lost when you lose something? 】
【Why do some people always think that the flame will definitely go out? It is obvious that the sun burns for much longer than human civilization, but there are ignorant and weak humans pointing to that fleeting spark and confidently claiming that the flame is short-lived and will eventually be extinguished? 】
【Everything, whether it is the boredom of life, the disappearance of dreams, the end of civilization, or the unchanging things, I can endure and overcome them】
[Because...]
【I really don’t want to】
【Unwilling to turn into ashes】
If there is a template for human personality, then King Jhin was not human from the beginning.
Human beings are essentially a short-lived race, and what they pay attention to is spending their whole life chasing what they want. Some people want to stand on the top of the mountain and overlook all living beings, some people want to stand in front of others and teach the people, and some people Want to lead the army to conquer all directions, some people have the world in mind and want to put an end to all difficulties.
Some people want to be established in the royal court, some people want to be rich and comfortable, some people pay attention to benevolence and righteousness, some people pay attention to morality, some people pay attention to love and hate, and some people pay attention to self.
All these dreams, wants and fun are the reasons why human beings are excited. Some have achieved it, but most of them are unwilling to do so. There is gain, but more is lost.
People hate and even fear losing.
So people, humans, cannot imagine the possibility of a person with an infinite lifespan, constantly gaining and infinitely losing.
That is simply the greatest pain in the world.
But King Jhin cannot understand this pain.
Because those who die will become ashes.
It will become nothingness that can no longer affect the world and can no longer see the world.
All meanings and all dreams will become meaningless under the erosion of time. Even if the world is transformed, all bad habits of mankind are changed, and a perfect civilization is created, but after hundreds of thousands or millions of years, the civilization turns into ashes and dust in nothingness, then all this is simply Meaningless.
Nothingness.
The only thing that can fight against nothingness is 'eternal existence and infinite continuity'.
To fight against this nothingness, this boring nothingness, King Jinder will burn - forever and ever.
This is true even if you peel off your consciousness bit by bit, tear your soul into pieces, and turn your whole person into a pure ignition machine.
The thirty-fourth reincarnation.
The seventy-second reincarnation.
The 119th reincarnation.
The two hundred and twenty-fifth reincarnation.
Sometimes tens of thousands of years, sometimes thousands of years, and the shortest time is less than two hundred years, an accident occurs, humanity returns, turning the whole world into a monster purgatory.
But the longest is more than 400,000 years. The entire era is divided into more than a dozen different eras. Wars and struggles, divisions and reunifications, provide the entire era with extremely rich legendary epics and history. , people's civilization even came close to discovering the reality of virtual reality and the world.
Jin King and Ash Ian have seen everything.
They saw happiness and pain. They heard singing and crying. They witnessed the sublime and the greatness.
They watched the establishment of all powers and the collapse of all kingdoms.
Those oaths, curses, those sincere or false prayers, those tragic or funny wars, they all witnessed it.
Human cruelty and kindness, human viciousness and innocence, all are no longer strange. Parents who sacrifice everything for their children, parents who strangle their children to death with their own hands, all appear to be ordinary in the long cycle of reincarnation, and cannot be called noble or despicable, because this is just a part of human beings.
The reincarnation continues, Ashes Ian waits silently in Dragon Island. If King Ember is an inhuman will, then Ember Ian is an obsession that even Ian cannot understand now.
He is waiting.
Even if he cannot see it, even if he can only perceive the existence of Ember Ian from the side through the 'intermediary point' of King of Ember, Ian can still know what the other party is doing.
He took control of Qianxing and guarded Dragon Island on behalf of the Dragon Kings. The Scourge of Light destroyed half of Terra, and the remaining half was being reshaped in his hands.
Millions of years have passed, tens of millions of years have passed, and the final fragments in Dragon Island have not broken away from the seal. As the Dragon Kings said, as long as a successor who meets the requirements is found, the final fragment cannot come out.
After the Disaster of Light, the 'Cradle' was gradually and completely restored... In the sky, except for the planets inside Terra, there was no longer even a single star from the outside.
Even so, Ash Ian is still waiting.
What is he waiting for?
Ian doesn’t know either.
It may be the limit of the cradle, it may be the return of the Star God, it may be when will the ultimate beast outside launch an attack on the cradle without any stimulation... In short, Ashes Ian is the one who knows and guides Ian, who has the essence of star inheritance, just wants to obtain information that is impossible to obtain through normal means.
The 314th reincarnation, 'In the Cradle', eight million years after the destruction of Terra.
Nothing has changed.
The 1925th reincarnation, 'In the Cradle', 30 million years after the destruction of Terra.
Nothing has changed.
The 5572nd reincarnation, 'In the Cradle', 100 million years after the destruction of Terra.
Nothing has changed.
One hundred million years seems like a long time.
Whether it is for people, a country, a civilization, or a species, 100 million years is a long time.
But for a planet, for geological changes, and for an entire ecosystem, 100 million years... doesn't seem to be a very long time.
On the former planet, dinosaurs ruled the world for 140 million years. They have undergone many changes from birth to destruction, but there are still many changes that have not changed. They are still dinosaurs, even if they become more adapted to the environment and more intelligent and sharp, they are still dinosaurs.
If it weren't for that meteorite that caused geological changes on the entire planet and completely transformed the planet's environment and climate, the dinosaurs might have continued to prosper for 200 million years or 300 million years. It was possible.
The same goes for humans who are preserved in reincarnation.
Ian watched the time flow before his eyes, and King Jhin also watched all this in silence.
Whether they are predicted or reincarnated, they are all doing the same thing.
They are waiting.
Waiting for the change that will end everything.
No matter how long the wait is, it will eventually end.
The 9704th reincarnation, 'in the cradle', the 160,801,4417 years since the destruction of Terra.
Change is coming.
Dragon Island.
Surrounding the almost reshaped planet of Terra, Dragon Island is still spinning silently. It is so solid that more than 100 million years have left no trace at all on it.
In the final analysis, for the Star God's creations that transcend stars and stars, and for those ancestral dragons who are expected to become Star Gods, more than 100 million years is just one percent of the time from birth to extinction of a star. Even a hundredth of a time, how could it be destroyed so easily?
However, at this moment, it was destroyed.
From the inside and outside, the sudden surge of gravity shattered the entire Dragon Island.
It turned into a black hole... and into an almost unnoticeable dot.
"Finally!"
The same as before, Ian, who had been silently paying attention to all this, opened his eyes wide. In addition to being excited, he was also nervous: "Although I don't know what Ashes Ian did, he definitely did not release the Final Fragment on purpose. People."
"Sure enough, the seal of Dragon Island is not permanent. Even if someone maintains it, it will collapse in 160 million years!"
"No...wait. It's not. The collapse of the Dragon Island seal was because of the ether!"
At first, Ian thought it was the dragon island seal that spontaneously collapsed, but soon he noticed the real dissonance: "Why did the concentration of ether become so low?"
Even Ian was unable to accurately notice the ether data that gradually became lower over 160 million years. In fact, as the planet Terra was shattered by the disaster of light, the virtual realm continued. As the earth undergoes reincarnation, the concentration of surrounding ether is gradually decreasing. This is a normal phenomenon.
From Ian's point of view now, it may be that the Terran civilization has been destroyed in a substantial sense. The perpetual motion machine 'Endless Tide' has returned to the Great Etheric Circulation. Therefore, there is no longer anything in the Cradle of Terra in the Ashes Path. Perpetual motion machines exist.
Without a perpetual motion machine providing a steady stream of ether, all ether in the natural environment will gradually degenerate into spiritual energy and source matter, and will then be unable to affect time and space.
Even though the sun is still providing source of essence continuously, without intelligent life to provide spiritual energy, and the virtual realm is reincarnating, it is impossible for true ether to be born again.
In short, everything adds up. The accumulation of 100 million years has caused the concentration of ether to drop to a limit point.
The seal of Dragon Island could not be maintained, and the final fragments were released.
Then...
Ian saw that the black light spot formed by the collapse of Dragon Island flew away from the sun after continuing to flash for a long time.
Immediately afterwards, within three days.
The sun collapsed into a black hole.
Quietly.
Without any gravitational change or any magnificent shock wave, the sun almost collapsed in a breath, accelerated its rotation, and then turned into a black hole. Its gravitational field is completely stable, the gravity of the entire galaxy remains stable, Terra is still in its original orbit, and nothing has changed.
It’s just that the sun has become a black hole, the light is no longer there, and there is no source of the sun flowing to the surroundings.
Everything became dark and silent.
But for people in reincarnation, all this does not matter. They do not rely on the brilliance of the sun to survive. Even if the sun turns into a black hole, the reincarnation of fire can still continue.
Whether it is the flame transformed by the King of Ember or Ember Ian, they still exist.
Even though their thinking and consciousness have been distorted and transformed into forms that cannot be understood by normal humans, reincarnation continues.
Thus, fourteen thousand five hundred and ninety-five reincarnations.
‘In the Cradle’, 200 million years after the destruction of Terra.
Real change has occurred.
Bang.
For people in reincarnation, there may be no sound.
But for Ian and King Jhin in reality, they both heard a slight sound of something shattering.
Then they saw it.
The cradle is broken.
Under the perspective that was accelerated by countless times, the entire cradle of the Prison Star Prison, which was spread across the entire Terra galaxy and had a radius of five light years, was shattered.
And all around the universe, the sparse but fierce starlight, the light of supernovae that had been blocked for 200 million years due to the existence of the Cradle, filled the entire Terra galaxy within five years.
Everything is destroyed.
Including reincarnation.
Reincarnation is not extinguished by burning out - reincarnation is extinguished by external forces!
Because the cradle was broken, the light of many supernovae that had been accumulated for 200 million years was condensed and completely destroyed the entire Terra, boiled the entire virtual realm, and tore apart all the bubbles, so it dissipated!
【So that's it...】
Watching this scene, even King Jhin showed a complicated expression and sighed: [Is it not my limit, but the limit of Hell...]
But Ian opened his eyes wide and stared in one direction.
A direction he has been waiting for.
He waited.
A dark shadow that cannot be described in words or surmised by logic... is moving toward the center of the Cradle, the center of the Terra galaxy, in a way that is unimaginable for space-dimensional life and cannot understand the sequence of cause and effect. Move forward slowly.
That was... the end.
The end that originally stayed outside the cradle.
For two hundred million years, there was nothing unusual or unusual about Him. Even in the 40 million years since the final fragment broke away from the seal of Dragon Island and turned the Terra star into a black hole, He still did not make any move.
It wasn’t until 200 million years later, when the cradle was broken, that He finally took action.
He headed towards the ‘Terra Black Hole’ with a strange and unspeakable amplitude.
"Why?"
This time, Ian did not stop the 'Precognition Vision' directly because he stared at the black hole. Although he was indeed approaching the limit, the power of the fifth level was enough to allow him to continue until now with some energy left.
But now, even with his wisdom, he still can't figure out what all this means - the final fragments turned the Terra star into a black hole, the cradle was shattered, and the outside world remained motionless. Yan Ye suddenly started to act and slowly sank into the black hole...
That's not surprising.
Ultimate beings are weird existences living in the horizon of black holes. No matter how powerful they are, they probably have the habit of returning to black holes. Just like how powerful human technology is, they will not have to transform themselves into The strange appearance is to adapt to the alien planet, but to transform the alien planet to resemble the home planet.
But why? After waiting for 200 million years, is there any important information that Ian needs to understand?
Ian couldn't think of it for a moment, but he already remembered everything.
And soon, Ian noticed perhaps the most core difference.
"Ether."
In the last few seconds of the precognitive horizon, the seconds when the End was submerged into the black hole of Terra, Ian was keenly aware of the subtle changes in Terra that came into contact with the Universe Beyond the Cradle again after the Cradle collapsed. Different: "Aether, completely disappeared?"
"No. It's not that the ether has completely disappeared...wait."
"Could it be that...the universe beyond the cradle..."
"No ether?!"
