Magus Tech Chapter 1521: Ten thousand islands
In the gorgeous golden palace.
Li Cha and the old man sat facing each other, and the surroundings were quiet, and they kept this state for a long time.
Finally, Li Cha opened his mouth, looked at the old man and asked, "What is that white light in the image...?"
"You asked a good question." The old man said, "This question has been asked by countless people, but... unfortunately, there has never been an answer. To be honest, even whether the white light is life or not is a question." It is impossible to be sure. The unknown is the scariest thing, and this is what makes white light scary."
Paused, the old man continued: "The image you saw just now is a ruling wizard of the Nolan plane, who observed it with the 'Eye of the Upper Realm' spell and sent it back to the core plane. This image was sent to the core plane. After returning, the Nolan plane lost all contact.
But this is not the scariest thing. The scariest thing is that as the Nolan plane fell in the white light, other planes adjacent to the Nolan plane also sent out signals and images for help. The image content is very similar to that of the Nolan plane, the only difference is that one is active and the other is passive—these planes do nothing, and white light gushes out along the space channel connected to the Nolan plane, quickly Swells, devours everything. "
"One plane, one plane, another plane, is like the reverse development of the era of great exploration. There are planes falling and losing contact. At the beginning, they were very peripheral, and when they spread to the world of ancient wizard civilization After the core area, the entire civilization lost its composure. After all, if it continues, civilization will cease to exist.
They found that white light spreads from one plane to another adjacent plane along the space channel, so they started a discussion and proposed that each plane should cut off the outward space channel and block itself. This may provide refuge from destruction. "
"Is this the origin of the original Truth Society?" Li Cha asked when he heard this.
"In a sense, it is." The old man nodded.
"Then no one will try to figure out the cause of this disaster?" Li Cha asked again.
"Why not?" The old man laughed, "The ancient wizard civilization is an extremely curious civilization, otherwise it would not be crazy to explore. When some people put forward the suggestion of self-blocking, they did not get much approval, but were rejected by the mainstream. Ideology was criticized as cowardly. Afterwards, in the ancient wizard civilization, countless powerful people went to the fallen plane to investigate, trying to figure out what was going on.
But without exception, no matter how powerful the people who go to investigate are, they will never return. With their disappearance, more planes fell, and the territory of the ancient wizard civilization world shrank sharply.
When the world of ancient wizard civilization shrunk to one-tenth of its peak, at the fate-determining governing meeting, the self-blocking proposal was recognized and fully implemented.
The surviving planes, in the order, cut off all the space passages with other planes in turn, and almost cut off the external contact, turning into 'islands' one by one. In this way, the ancient world of wizard civilization was dismantled into tiny systems composed of planes and demi-planes. It lost its former glory, but at least it survived. "
The old man continued: "After being preserved, the wizards who stayed in this Tesco plane, including me, established the predecessor of the Truth Society - the Council of Guardians, with the purpose of doing everything possible to protect this small civilization. Sparks.
At that time, everyone in the Council of Guardians panicked. On the one hand, it was because of the great changes in civilization, and on the other hand, it was because they were not sure whether the self-blockade could completely prevent white light from being swallowed.
For this reason, members of the council have been discussing and thinking about what kind of white light exists and why it appears. In the initial period, the discussion was relatively normal, but slowly, a somewhat unbelievable guess spread.
This guess, known as "God's Punishment", means that the ancient wizard civilization experienced such a catastrophe entirely because of itself. The ancient shaman civilization developed too fast and too crazy. In order to develop and even transform the essence of life, it is contempt for the God who created the world.
When the "Great Exploration Plan" was implemented, the leap-forward exploration reached the end of the void, and even touched the forbidden zone set by the gods. "
"Heh." The old man smiled at this point, glanced at Richard and said, "Do you know that about creation and gods, at the peak of ancient wizard civilization, they were the minority among the minority, almost No one believed it.
But life is like this, the stronger you are, the more confident you are, the more you think that nothing in the world is invincible. When they encounter major setbacks and become weak, they will inevitably feel inferior, start to doubt everything, and start to think that there is a **** who transcends everything to determine their own destiny.
As time went by, the remarks about "God's Punishment" became more and more widespread in the Guardian Council, especially after an incident happened later, "God's Punishment" was almost regarded as the truth. "
"What's the matter?" Li Cha asked.
"That is the destruction of the first plane." The old man's voice became low, "The first plane is the first plane discovered by the ancient wizard civilization from the mainland when it explored from the mainland. It is extremely rich in resources and extremely large in size. Huge, far superior to the native land, so it later developed into the core of the core.
When the self-isolation began, the wizards who went to the first plane were the most, and they also had as many discussions as the Guardian Council. Although they did not discuss any results, positive thinking has always been the mainstream, trying to maintain the state before civilization, and trying to make new breakthroughs.
As a result, when they completed a new research on life, white light suddenly appeared in the laboratory, instantly destroying all the results of the research, followed by swallowing the entire world, and the first plane was destroyed. "
Speaking of this, the old man was silent for a few seconds and sighed: "Well, you should be able to imagine how much shock the rest of the planes were caused by the destruction of the first plane. Almost everyone wanted to find out , What did the first plane do wrong, is it just because it is still insisting on continuing to develop? Could development lead to bad results?
At first it was just a guess, but after several disasters in which the planes were suddenly swallowed by white light happened one after another, the guess immediately became a consensus—everyone believed that development would really lead to extinction, on the contrary, without development, there would be no To be destroyed, to survive without development. The disaster proved that the ancient shaman civilization has come to an end all the way, and has reached the edge of the cliff. Even if it takes a step forward, it will fall and be smashed to pieces, so it is absolutely impossible to continue along this road.
Because of this consensus, "God's Punishment" was recognized by everyone in the Council of Guardians, and they all regarded it as the only explanation of the truth, and believed that the ancient wizard civilization had indeed embarked on a wrong path. In order to avoid the complete destruction of civilization, it is necessary to stop, turn around, and find a new path.
In this way, the real Truth Society was established on the plane of Tesco, and began to change the whole world. Because they only know what is wrong, but not what is right, in order to avoid risks to the greatest extent, the members of the Truth Society choose to make the original things into opposite existences, and try to eliminate all the sources of the crisis.
This is obviously a huge project, and it cannot be completed in a short period of time. For this reason, all members of the Truth Society have made unimaginable sacrifices over a long period of time. They died one after another in their efforts and exhausted their lives, and the plane kept changing. When I woke up from the freeze as the last member, and worked hard until now, until I was very old, the plane finally became what I expected.
As expected, the plane is extremely safe, and it can be regarded as a new starting point. As long as we start from this starting point and try to develop carefully, one day we will embark on a truly correct development path. But it is a pity that because of your existence, this starting point suddenly became a little out of control, and it took a big step back to the old road. "
"You were really a big accident that almost made countless people's hard work go to waste." The old man looked at Li Cha, "But after all, you didn't know the truth of the world before you came to this point. I want to wait for you After listening to everything I said, you should understand that everything is a misunderstanding, and you will change your mind and make the most correct choice.
Also, as I said earlier, I am very old and have very few days left. The correct development of this plane in the future requires a new controller to guide the direction. If you are willing, I would like to invite you to become a new member of the Truth Society to replace me and lead the way for this plane. how do you feel? "
At the end, the old man looked at Li Cha with sincere eyes.
Li Cha was taken aback for a moment, his eyes narrowed, and his thoughts were spinning rapidly in his mind.
What kind of situation is this? The opponent couldn't beat him, so he just tried to bribe him? To be more precise, recruit him?
Forcibly turning an enemy into a friend?
This method is somewhat familiar, at least two of the four famous books on the earth have talked about it.
But the problem is... this is not what he wants...
What he wants is much more than this...
Then...
"Huh——"
Taking a deep breath, Li Cha looked at the old man and said, "Mr. Gao Ge, thank you very much for your invitation, but rather than staying in this plane to take your place, I would like to see other planes and understand Let’s see what’s going on in the rest of the planes.”
"I'm afraid, it's difficult." The old man shook his head and smiled wryly after hearing this, "It's been too long, the ancient wizard civilization has really become an ancient civilization, and the separate planes still had some simple exchanges in the early days. , but later they completely cut off contact and became a completely independent world. Up to now, even if you want to contact, you can’t get in touch.
The space passages have all been destroyed, and you have no way to go to other planes at all, unless you risk getting lost and explore in the void, then there is a very small probability of contacting other planes. "
After listening to the old man's words, Li Cha raised his eyebrows slightly ~IndoMTL.com~ and said: "As far as I know, what you said, Mr. Goge, is actually missing something. I learned from some ancient wizard civilization materials, The destruction of all the space channels does not mean that they are completely cut off, because when the space channels were not established at the beginning, the communication between the planes relied on space jump points.
It is true that space passages provide a more stable mode of transportation, but space jump points are the foundation—the passages are built based on jump points, and the passages can be destroyed, but the jump points will not be lost.
If I'm not mistaken, go to the space jump point on the adjacent plane, which is somewhere in the kingdom of heaven. Then, Mr. Gogg, we might as well make a deal—you tell me the location of the space jump point, and I will leave the kingdom of heaven, leave here, and stop disturbing you, how about? "
After hearing Li Cha's words, the old man suddenly froze with a wry smile on his face, turned his head a little bit, and looked at Li Cha for several seconds.
After that, his lips were pursed, his body leaned back, his whole back leaned on the back of the chair, his eyes continued to stare at Li Cha, and he let out a long breath.
"Maybe..." the old man said in a hoarse voice, "Maybe...you can't leave here."
