Soul of Burning Steel

The Three Realms and Nine Heavens, the Continent of Steel, the core area of ​​the Shining Area, and the Great Southern Star Cross Star Area.

In the cross-shaped habitable area formed by 1,200 bright stars, there is an extremely huge and behemoth creation, which is speeding on the silver continent of steel.

It was a moving city that was constantly rotating like a disk, stirring up huge storms around it. Its bottom was kept at a certain distance from the Continent of Steel, with blue fluorescent lines flickering, and an invisible stand pushed it forward—— It is not so much walking as flying at low altitude.

And on the disk, there is a semicircular giant net woven by golden energy arcs. It is the sky of this mobile city with a radius of 76,500 kilometers. It can be seen that there are thirty Five layers of light curtain arrays with different functions are mixed in, maintaining the ecological stability of the inner small world.

【Glory World·Church Mobile City Anseno】

Here is the [Ash Order], and even before the Ashes Order, the headquarters of many god temples in the age of the gods, an ancient city that has wandered on the Steel Continent for more than 80,000 years. In this city, there have been blessings and blessings from more than tens of thousands of gods in the past. Every inch of its land, every speck of dust, has even been infiltrated with divine power, and has acquired the characteristics of immortality—and the thirty-five layers of divine power circle, It has even resisted the unexpected "star rain" several times, and has been bombarded hundreds of times by stars without any change.

It can be seen that there are countless airships moored at the outer port of the disc city, with the flag of the Order of Ashes hanging on them, and in the inner layer of the world, there are continuous planting areas, industrial areas, temple areas, and places in the world. At the edge, there is a vast ocean of nanometers made by gods—this is the masterpiece of the "God of Myriad Machines" in the past, a recyclable creation of gods, which is also an "artifact" in the popular sense.

Today, the God of Myriad Opportunities has passed away 50,000 years ago, but his creation is still functioning normally. It is responsible for maintaining the entire mobile world. This is why this ancient world city can still be as it was when it was just forged after 80,000 years. One of the reasons for the newness is also the raw material for all creations in the city's industrial furnace.

It can be seen that there are billions of light chasers living and living in this world. They travel back and forth in major regions, work and live, and occasionally take airships to other mobile cities for exchanges and visits, trade rest— ——Everyone acts like a fire and has a firm goal. In this world city, no one who is confused can be seen. Even if they take a rest, it is just to recover their energy and restore their spirit faster so that they can work better later. If it is said that if faith can shine, then this city must emit light brighter than the stars. It is burning blazingly, urging the world to move in the direction they want.

And right in the center of this world, there is an extremely tall giant tower, its top even broke through the thirty-five layers of divine power formation, standing outside the barrier of the world, located between the real heaven and the earth - the whole body of this tower seems to be made of Forged from solid white solid rock, it is flawless, without any gaps or incongruities, and there are not many Light Chasers around it, only a few can be seen at a glance, it is the high-level people of the Order of Ashes slowing down. Slowly approach the tower and enter it.

In the distant past, this tower had many names, such as the Immortal White Tower, the Tower of Piercing the Sky, the Tower of Listening to the Sun, etc., but now, after the Ashes Cult collects the remains of all the gods and takes over this glorious world city , its name was changed to [Tower of Torch], and its function was the same as before, it was the core center of the entire world and the entire sect.

"The first Holy See, Grand Inquisitor Grong disappeared while carrying out his mission, and the seventy-five elite temple guards who accompanied him also lost contact collectively, without exception."

In an inconspicuous office, a dignified and well-dressed lady with a three-tiered crown was sitting on her seat, her eyes calmly staring ahead, while the two judges were wearing black and red interlaced robes, The two judges with ordinary faces lowered their heads slightly and reported to each other: "According to the analysis of the think tank, the task of admonishing Alpha Falster should have failed, and the star sons Karlis and Mycroft behind it should have caused The reason Grong failed."

The Cult of Ashes is an organization initially formed after the age of the gods, in order to collect the corpses of the gods, bury them collectively, and fight against chaos. The original Holy Son of the Pope, the Patriarch of the Holy See, and the so-called First Holy See is the nominal leader of the entire Pontifical Presbyterian Council, a position held by the leaders of different churches in turn.

Of course, 50,000 years have passed, and the first seat has long been well-deserved, and those who are not the strongest cannot take on the role of the actual leader, and the first seat of the Order of Ashes this time is the former Star Sea and Exploration The leader of the gods, the legendary powerhouse who has served as the leader of the sect for 152 years, Mara Monica.

"Have you failed?"

The voice of the first pontiff was very calm. She lowered her head, continued to manipulate the light curtain, and reviewed many documents. Because the Order of Ashes advocated frugality, the major sanctuaries have ceased to serve as pontiffs since 34,000 years ago. Instead, it becomes a public place. Even the First Apostle is no exception. He usually handles official business and practices in his office on the 3600th floor of the Torch Tower. Mara didn't seem annoyed by the failure of the mission: "It's normal, Karliss and Mycroft, who were originally grand scholars in the capital of learning, have extreme strength, and they have awakened the power of the Star Son, Ordinary legends probably won't be able to win, if it's them who make the move, it's normal for Grong to fail."

"But in this way, the two of them have exposed their whereabouts—Grong should have left a mark when he followed."

"Yes."

The leading middle-aged judge replied sonorously: "My lord, are we going to send a few legendary experts to persuade? It may be too late to follow the trail now."

Mara didn't reply right away, she reviewed several documents attentively, and then said: "No, I sensed that Grong's candle has not been extinguished, he is not dead, and the temple guards are also all concerned." He didn't die, he was probably arrested."

"Since our church members are not in danger of life, there is no need to take such a big risk and weaken the defense forces in other areas to capture the two sons of the stars who can hide among the stars-not to mention that the other party has a legend Super strength, will there be any progress in such a long time recently, the changes in the dusk area have gradually become more frequent, and the number of chaos monsters has increased significantly, we have no spare power."

Having said that, the female apostle sighed, she raised her head, and looked at the two serious judges again: "That's it, at least we prove that Alpha is indeed more important than we imagined, the two sons of the stars Pay attention to him, his daughter is also a star child... He may indeed have some kind of instinctive attraction, the ability to identify the star child, it would be best if he could join us, but if not, it is not so urgent."

"As for Grong, I will send someone to try to negotiate with the other party later. We can cancel the pursuit of them and let them let our church members go home. After all, the conflict is not too deep now, since they are unwilling Live as the sons of the stars, so as long as they don't interfere with our 'Path of Fire' plan, let them live in the twilight zone."

As for the shining area, it is impossible. The more stars the Sons of the Stars are in, the more their abilities will increase. They may not hunt down each other, but they cannot let the other party live freely in their sphere of influence and enjoy their hard work. The endless brilliance of the shining area that was only maintained.

Mara and the judges didn't know the truth after that, and they didn't receive the news that Grong had 'discovered the Crystal Obelisk'. They thought that the other party was just being followed by Karlis and Mycroft, so they were arrested. just live.

Soon, the two judges left—this task was personally assigned by the first apostle, so naturally they also came to report in person, otherwise, they can report directly through the light curtain network, and the first apostle Mara Manika is still sitting on his simple seat, practicing his own strength while handling official duties.

However, after a long time, this lady who was more than two hundred years old and still looked the same as when she was young, who had dedicated most of her life to the entire church, raised her hand wearily, rubbed her forehead, and sighed softly.

"Hey...when will all the light chasers unite as one, work hard to develop, and contribute to the future of our world and the tomorrow of our own civilization..."

The tone of this legendary powerhouse was close to moaning and praying, she closed her eyes, and her tone was full of helplessness: "Is it right to hide from the entire Alliance of Nations that the 'world is about to be destroyed' and the flame is about to go out? "

Although the world will not be turbulent and can continue to enjoy peace, but the religious group has lost more support because of this, and can only walk alone... Just like the two sons of stars, if they know the truth of the world, they will not be able to survive. Will you escape like you do now?

But it’s good to escape, at least they don’t have to make sacrifices—it’s good that all sentient beings don’t know about this, at least they can still enjoy peace.

Sacrifice to save the world... Who else can do such a thing except us?

Thinking about this question, Mara now, apart from a wry smile, is left with deep helplessness.

If the entire Three Realms, Nine Heavens, Ten Thousand Kingdoms and Ten Thousand Races were told that this world was about to be destroyed and returned to the darkness of annihilation, how much turmoil would there be in this vast world today? Will they band together and fight their way through, or sink into utter despair, planning to have one last orgy of their own? To be honest, no one is optimistic about this kind of thing. The light chasers are not a race with great enlightenment. Most of them have lived in the mobile world city all their lives, and their vision is narrow. Like a worm in a shell, he prefers to stay in a comfortable steel shell rather than change the world.

You must know that not everyone is willing to make sacrifices for the "greater collective" when facing disasters. Most intelligent beings always care more about their own survival—if they really can't survive , compared to sacrificing, it is better to enjoy such a moment of happiness at the end, and go back without leaving regrets.

To put it selfishly, it is quite normal - most intelligent life will feel that if the world is about to be destroyed, and if saving it requires sacrificing one's own life, then it is better to let the whole world be destroyed together.

And this sentence, this idea, is actually not wrong. After all, the most important thing in an intelligent life is the self. Since the world is destroyed, "I" will die, and the world will not destroy "I", so why should the happiness of others be based on one's own sacrifice? Why can't everyone die together?

[Since I am unhappy, I want others to be unhappy too. No sacrifice, no nobility, to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than basing the happiness of all people on the death of a sacrifice. 】

[Why can't someone else sacrifice, but me? If this is called bad luck, then I would say 'no'! There is no reason, I just don't want to, I don't want to, I don't want to do it. 】

【This world has not given me anything. I came alone and died alone. I will never pay the slightest price for it. 】

【It's a pleasure for everyone to die together and return to the extinction of the underworld. 】

This idea is actually 'correct' without a doubt, and indeed conforms to the 'life instinct'. This is a fierce, unfriendly instinct to fight and resist the world, society, and even fate that insists on suffering, tormenting, and dying. No one can compel another to sacrifice, not even God!

However, this idea, this kind of thinking, is actually cowardly.

"Why does it have to be sacrificed to save the world? Isn't it too strange? Can't we transform the world so that everyone can live in peace without sacrificing?"

"I am not happy, why do I have to make others unhappy instead of trying to make myself happy? Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine out of ten thousand people are unwilling to stand up and stay in their comfort zone, but they will always There is one person who is willing to stand up, not because he is forced, but to take the initiative to fight against this fate!"

"That's right, the world we live in is so miserable. For example, it's like there is a vicious beast guarding the key point in a dangerous world. Only one person from the tribe must be selected to feed it, so that the tribe can pass through safely. Here—but why do you have to sacrifice one person, instead of everyone taking up arms and eradicating this evil beast?"

"I would like to go to the darkest place, turn into light, burn into ashes, and illuminate every shadow."

Recalling the words of the Ashes, their speeches and oaths, Mara closed her eyes.

Of course, the choice made by the latter, to fight the "evil beast", will definitely lead to more deaths, and even the entire tribe's vitality will be seriously injured, or even destroyed-but for death, for these three realms and nine heavens, everything is destined to be one. For the deceased, the difference between death lies in the state of mind.

The "sacrifice" in the former's mouth is a forced behavior. Their anger and unwillingness, resentment and grief, and their desire to pull people back and let all living beings die with them are the rightness of life, and no one is allowed. People use 'morality' or 'righteousness' to refute!

But ah, the "sacrifice" in the mouth of the latter is not a "sacrifice" or "death" at all. They just choose to stand up and wave their knives at the fate of the world and all things. The trials and tribulations of the fight, and in the end, nothing but defeat.

And all the members of the Order of Ashes, at least those who live in this glorious world, the church city Ansano, are existences who dare to swing their knives at the world and destiny...Of course, as a large organization, they must also have darkness. , gloomy, shady, full of blood and ugliness.

But, at least, Mara believes that all of this is inevitable, the sacrifices that must be made because the order is not strong enough, and the helpless, but necessary, choices.

"At the bottom of the twilight area, all the stars that are easy to pull and not easy to find have long been drawn to the 'shadow star track' and transferred to the shining area through the subspace. Now, it would be easier to be drawn, but The transfer of stars that are easily discovered by other forces, or increase the intensity, go to a higher place, and pull the stars around the 'first ladder' area."

The Cult of Ashes has maintained the burning flames of this world for 50,000 years, but it has not been discovered. In addition to the strict internal secrecy system and various restrictive methods, there is also the fact that the stars they choose to pull are very inconspicuous and not easy to be discovered. Found the lack—but now, all the suitable stars have been evacuated, and the dusk zone has long been riddled with holes. If you want to continue to extend the life of the world, you must make the church pay a higher price, or more eye-catching.

This choice is not easy to make, even if they are all conscious, but the power of the religious group cannot be wasted in vain—but if people discover the matter of relocating the stars, and then let the public discover the fact that the world is about to be destroyed, Unrest is sure to follow.

Shaking her head and opening her eyes, the first Pope Mara Monica gave up thinking about this issue. She continued to lower her head and deal with official duties in this small office. A lot, the matter of Karliss, Mycroff and Alpha is just a small episode, they cannot be persuaded, and they have no strength to arrest them, so naturally they can only be ignored, and let these people who want to be free, free live.

However, neither the First Holy See nor the entire Church of Ashes expected that.

The "little episode" in their eyes is tens of thousands of times stronger than the "worst possibility" they have ever imagined.

Fifteen days later, a piece of heavy news spread throughout the shining region and all nations.

[The Ashes Order belongs to the forging world military city of Faraming, which was attacked by unknown people. The sensory time of the 11.79 billion people in the city and even the whole world were stagnated. After recovery, the Ashes Order came here The city’s government center has been destroyed, but fortunately there were no casualties, but a large amount of confidential information was lost]

This is news that has been circulating in many cities around the world. It sounds like a force that is hostile to the church or a strong person deliberately humiliates the other party, and wants to find some information to use as black material—after all, the Ashes Church has a great cause , There are many people who follow, and many people are offended. It is not surprising to encounter this kind of thing. There have been many attacks on the Church of Ashes in history.

But for the church, the destruction of the government center of the military city of Faraming is simply an insignificant matter—more importantly, they built a secret foundation in a mountain range near the cruise route of the military city of Faramin It was completely destroyed, the mysterious ancient obelisk with the internal number 'Eleven' was invaded by the enemy, and the ancient strongman code-named 'Elemental Flower' was awakened and left!

"No one died—the staff in the 'Star Nest Base', including the legendary strongman guarding the base, 'Star Striker Darnor', were placed in a 'light bubble' to sleep until our support troops rushed In the past, the light bubble just burst, and there were no casualties... But the No. 11 obelisk was completely useless, and the ancient strongman left, and we no longer have the energy to maintain the 'shadow star trail' in the northwest region of the shining area .”

"It's a good thing that no church members sacrificed. It can also prove that the other party is not an evil person who kills innocent people indiscriminately, nor is it an enemy of order... It's just how did they know about Star Nest Base? This matter should be a top secret among top secrets. "

"Awaken the ancient powerhouse... what are they going to do?"

At the Pontifical Conference in the Torch Tower, Mara had a simple and quick discussion with the other Popes, but no matter how she thought about it, she couldn’t guess the other party’s reason. Reluctantly repaired the government center of the military city of Faraming, at the same time strengthened the defense of several other star nest bases, allocated more legendary powerhouses for defense, and accelerated the migration of stars to avoid the failure of the northwest shadow star track Leading to insufficient stellar transportation.

After all, they don't even know who the enemy is. Apart from passive defense, how can they make the next move?

——I hope the other party can calm down for a while. This is the truest thought of all the top leaders of the church.

But soon, successive bad news came one by one.

First of all, the border colonies in the Twilight Zone encountered the largest chaos monster attack since 5,000 years ago, and it was unprecedentedly fast—in less than half a month, hundreds of mobile urban colonies were surrounded, seventeen The mobile city has lost contact and is suspected to have fallen. Hundreds of billions of light chasers have died, and the tide of chaos is still advancing towards the depths of the twilight zone. They are about to attack the 'Ximen star chain star zone', and there are more The mobile urban colony is the core of the order in the southwest of the entire twilight zone, and it is also the border line of defense very close to the shining area.

Then, because the church was attacked some time ago, it did not make much action, but blindly shrunk, and many other forces regarded it as a sign that the church has begun to weaken. Many countries and forces in the League of Nations They began to look differently at the Cult of Ashes. They had long felt that something was wrong with such a super-large religious organization inherited from the age of the gods—now even if there is no half-god, what do you need the Cult of? In particular, they still control so many divine weapons. This is a gift that belongs to all light chasers. How can the sect hold it alone!

But the most chilling thing is not these - some mobile cities on the edge of the shining zone have begun to cast extremely thick defensive circles for their own world, preparing to be completely isolated from the outside world for hundreds of years, facing the coming attack Chaos tide, they didn't intend to meet it and help their compatriots, but planned to shrink into their shells, let the chaos rage, and then leave. Anyway, not many Chaos monsters can break through the purposely thickened barrier of the world city, and the world city is self-sufficient, and there is little need for external communication.

What does the suffering in the twilight zone have to do with them? Anyway, it is impossible for the chaotic family to exist in the shining area for too long, and it will be fine if they bear it.

In a short period of time, the invasion of chaos, the indifference of compatriots, the change of the attitude of allies and the vague peeping, at the same time threatened the entire light chaser civilization circle, threatening the church of ashes—soon, why did the chaos group rush into this time? The reason for this rapid speed was also found, that is precisely because the stars in the twilight zone were moved away by the religious order, and have continuously shrunk in the past 50,000 years, so that they can no longer provide a buffer for the shining area, and can only be allowed to The monsters keep attacking.

The era began to gallop amid the turmoil, and everything that was stable began to gradually shake with the passage of time.

But even under the cover of the big news of the large-scale invasion of Chaos, there are always one incredible event after another—according to rumors, some explorers have discovered One after another, hidden among the mountain peaks, are very spectacular crystal obelisks, which are suspected to be relics of the age of the gods. They appear with large-scale starquakes and radiance that penetrate the sky and the earth again and again, standing in the sky and the earth.

At the same time, the sect, which was fully shrinking its defenses, also felt panic-because they were strictly guarded, and the fifteen star nest bases that were fully prepared were being breached one by one-counting the first eleventh In the base, a total of eight strong men from the ancient obelisks have been rescued, causing Shadow Star Trail to lose its energy source. This is already half the amount, even if the other half of the star orbits continue to pull the stars, there is no way to continue to maintain the flames in the shining area.

Even, it's not just the church that feels flustered, even the behemoth of the Alliance of Nations has begun to notice slowly that the territory of the shining area seems to have shrunk by such an insignificant amount during this period of time, and in its own country, It is also true that there is a force that does not come from anywhere but is acting.

They are few in number, but their strength is strong. These strong men who do not belong to this era are rushing through the world, walking on a trajectory that does not intersect with everything in the three realms and nine heavens.

"How about it, Eagle, do you think all the beings in this world are okay?"

In the Continent of Steel, in the Twilight Zone, a small team of different races and shapes, including carbon-based human figures and silicon-based iron balls, looks very strange and strong, is speeding through a mountain range, as if looking for something, and in this During the process, a silver-haired, red-eyed, slightly dark-skinned lady seemed to be looking for someone to chat with, so she pulled the expressionless blond boy to the side and forced a chat.

"not so good."

To the question of Mycroft, the reincarnation of the steel python in his hometown world, Eagle calmly answered, recalling his recent journeys in the Three Realms and Nine Heavens, he couldn’t help shaking his head: “Most of the People are living in a numb state, I really never thought that the group of Ash Cultists I met when I woke up were the most energetic, energetic and confident group of people."

"As for the others, what should I say? They are just like...'living corpses' running after the sun."

Hearing these words, not only Mycroft, but even the other powerhouses in the team, who died in battle with the evil god group with Joshua in the former Starfall Galaxy Alliance, and who have now been revived, can't help nodding slightly. Agree. A living corpse chasing the sun? A very apt metaphor, this is exactly what they have seen in recent days.

"Yeah." Hearing this, Mycroft sighed. She used to be the steel python, the mother of all things. She had witnessed a great civilization rise, develop, grow and expand on her body. Her feelings can only be compared to Yige's. Er goes deeper: "In the oppressive world, dangerous stars, long-term migration and pursuit, never-ending evasion and submission, all intelligent life dwells in a steel shell called the world city, letting its own body linger on, let Your own soul is gradually decaying."

"Even, many mobile cities no longer communicate with each other—they are all self-sufficient, do not pretend to others, and even completely reject all foreign trade. In this way, they close themselves in a small comfort zone, trying to ignore the sky. The erratic stars, concentrate on enjoying a hundred years of life... All the civilizations in this world have already begun to decay, and the mobile city is like a moving coffin, and all the people living in it only know 'alive' Corpse."

One hundred thousand years is enough to wear away all the glory and faith—you know, whether it is Karliss or Mycroft, or all the strong men who wake up together with Eagle, they have seen some internal Civilization degenerates into a medieval mobile metropolis. In those mobile cities named 'Wild World', civilization has regressed back to the primitive age due to war, plague, or the development of some dangerous technologies. A mysterious and majestic "Ritual of God", they enjoy all the glory and wealth, exchange resources with other mobile cities for advanced technology enjoyment, and suppress the people at the bottom.

Not only that, perhaps because it has come to an end, unable to go to the sky and the void outside the world, it is very difficult for the civilization in this world to develop follow-up technologies, and even fell into a fork, the technological progress of the light chasers has stagnated for tens of thousands of people. In 2000, they have not even returned to the technological level of the age of the gods.

"Is there really a future for such a civilization and world?"

A demon lord said with emotion. He is a legendary bone demon from an abyss in the multi-dimensional galaxy. He once had a short and friendly exchange with the legendary powerhouse Lolanda of the Mycroft civilization and the bewitching king Paseka. Since then, he has led His own tribe joined the Starfall Alliance, and in the final battle, he and Joshua went to the far side of the void to meet the group of evil gods.

The Bone Demon King raised his doubts. At the first moment, no one answered. Everyone felt disdainful. After all, they came from the most glorious and enthusiastic era of multi-galactic civilization. Even if they knew that they had already fallen asleep for twelve For ten thousand years, they still believe that everything in the world should fight like them. But in fact, what they saw was a civilization that was gradually dying and aging, and was on the verge of destruction—the light chasers had been chasing the light, so that they completely lost their direction.

Even Alpha, who was a member of the Light Chaser, bowed his head in shame—he followed Karliss on expeditions when he was young, and lived in the capital of learning with the best environment when he was middle-aged. He didn't have an in-depth understanding of the conditions in the many mobile cities... The rotten smell from these decaying cities did not make him feel sick, but only made him feel deeply confused and sad.

However, there are still people who have different opinions.

"There's a future."

The speaker was Igor, the pope who had recovered his youth. He looked back and looked in the direction of the mobile city they had passed by before. His face showed a kindness that did not match the face of this young man today, and a kind of deep-rooted emotion 'I firmly believe', he whispered, not knowing whether to answer the bone demon king, or to answer himself: "Don't laugh at these perishers, my friends, our civilization may have passed through the multiverse beyond this world." After a long time, will they be destroyed, or will they be degenerate in the same way? We don’t know about this, and I even hold a pessimistic attitude, that is, our descendants lost our former leaders, and the degenerate ones may be worse than Lightseekers are faster."

"However, this does not mean that there is no hope in the future. Even in the face of endless swarms of evil gods, don't we dare to charge? It's just a fall. Believe in the heart of life. I firmly believe that whether it is the light chaser or the Our long-lost descendants will regain their glory and glory in the future. Even if they have sunk to the end, they will one day embrace hope again—we who have fought so far and resurrected from the dead are not for this reason Is it a little?"

This time, silence was ushered in again, but compared to the dullness before, the silence that appeared in the crowd this time seemed much more exciting.

"Worthy of being the Pope..."

With a sigh of emotion in a low voice, Mycroft shook his head and looked forward again.

And Karlis, who didn't speak from the beginning to the end, but kept his eyes firmly on his goal and moved forward firmly, finally spoke at this moment.

"Yes, we still have to fight, and there are more old friends who need to be awakened."

Her voice was hoarse and low, but finally firm again: "We move on."

The Three Realms and Nine Heavens, the Continent of Steel, the core area of ​​the Shining Area, and the Great Southern Star Cross Star Area.

Glory World Church City Ansino.

In the huge mobile city, on the square in the center of the world, there is a stone tablet engraved with many proverbs like songs. Through the same motto, it seems that the stone tablet reflects the heart of the viewer, and then gives 'suggestions'.

But today, the First Holy See, Mara Monica did not handle official business in her office, she just pretended to go out like an ordinary person, taking a walk around the square to relieve stress—and the ashes who recognized her on the way The members of the regiment didn't bother each other, because they knew that this was the rare time when their leader stopped working from morning to night from the beginning to the end of the year.

She walked all the way, emptying her mind, no longer thinking about how to save the world, how to maintain the shadow star trail, and no longer thinking about what to do if another star nest base is breached—she forgot her responsibility for a short time, so that she could Easy breathing.

Soon, whether it was intentional or by accident, Mara came to the stele of proverbs——as a legendary powerhouse, she could naturally see that it was an 'artifact' left by a former god. The "artifact" has no other purpose, but can echo people's hearts, just like encouraging yourself, and strengthen the belief of the viewer.

It obviously doesn't have any combat power, but it is one of the most important artifacts of the entire Order of Ashes. It is placed in the center of the world city square just to allow more people to see it.

At this moment, Mara raised her head and looked at the stele——she saw the writing emerging from it.

[If you start to question your beliefs, the sky and the earth will be shaken]

[In order to explain the meaning of the future, all the strong are troubled by it]

[Stronger, stronger, even stronger than stronger stronger]

[The day of giving up is the time of death, move forward firmly and never stop]

【The path of the strong is to turn your back on all beings and show your fangs to fate】

"ah."

Seeing the words revealed on the stone tablet, staring at the 'proverbs' that other people might not be able to understand even if they saw it, Mara's expressionless face, which was disguised as a face, was finally shattered. With a long sigh, he closed his eyes: "Have I started to question my beliefs recently?"

"Where is the future? Even if I have reached the legendary limit and can control the stars, can I really change the three realms and nine heavens that are about to be destroyed? Even if I become stronger, stronger, there is no way around it?"

The powerhouses who attacked mysteriously everywhere, destroyed the Star Nest base everywhere, and destroyed the unknown forces that pulled the shadows and orbits of the stars. The blow, even Mara Monica, who is the leader of the religious order who is one of the strongest in the three realms and nine heavens, who is the legendary limit, and who ruled the stars, feels powerless. All this is like fate to her, to all ashes The ruthless mockery of everyone who has fought so far in the order seems to be saying that her efforts are meaningless.

However, the day of giving up is also the time when hope dissipates!

Clenching her fists, even in the face of such despair, Mara opened her eyes again!

Even if the road ahead is bleak, even if she is mocked by fate, as the leader of the Order of Ashes, she will still go on steadfastly—because this is the path of the strong, and this is the 'fate' she chooses to fight!

"The fate of the world's destruction... I will never agree with it! All the members of the Order of Ashes, all the believers, have not sacrificed so far to 'give up'!"

The destroyed base, at worst, needs to be rebuilt, and the lost energy source of the ancient powerhouse, at worst, can be replaced by oneself—although the religious order is not yet that strong, but at least it can be maintained for the time being. Those who tell the truth to the world, even if most people will give up, there will always be someone willing to help!

Reconsolidating her determination once again, Mara turned her head decisively. She wanted to go back to work and continue to practice—for other people, no matter how much they squeezed, rest and sleep, and even eating were always needed, but for Chaofan For the strong, it is normal for the strong to not stop for 365 days, 24 hours, a minute, and a second. They squeeze themselves and fight hard, which is definitely more terrifying than any ordinary person.

However, halfway through, Mara suddenly turned her head with a solemn expression, and looked at the world city where there was nothing but the 'sky' of the defensive formation.

"Enemy attack! Highest alert, enter a state of full-scale war!"

She immediately yelled, and the loud voice spread throughout the whole world—and at this moment, the bustling crowd around, all the people who were working, resting, and walking on the road, all the members of the Order of Ashes, For a while, they entered the state of combat readiness, and they began to run at a high speed, using spells or various extraordinary skills, and rushed towards the jobs they had booked in advance!

And outside the world, a small team stood above the mobile city. They looked down at the world, and saw with surprise that in just a dozen seconds, the [Glory World Ansino] that was still in a dormant state , directly awakened, and turned into an incomparably huge war fortress city! Countless formations, countless huge divine light arrays emerged from every corner of this disk-like city, and the vast sea of ​​god-made nanometers was condensed in the first place, turning into a slowly moving, aiming at The muzzle of the ultra-giant wave cannon was aimed in their direction.

"This spirit is completely different from other mobile cities - the members of the Ashes Order are really full of determination and faith, just like us who faced the army of evil gods in the past."

In the team, there was a strong person who was emotional, and the leader, Carliss, looked down on all of this. Facing all the mortals and extraordinary people below her who were unflappable and unwavering even in the face of a surprise attack, she couldn't help feeling A moment of trance—the other party's belief and will are so firm, united as one, that there is no sign of collapse in the face of the momentum suppressed by many legendary powerhouses.

This feeling... It was only felt when I was with that guy a long time ago... It is indeed a life derived from his world. Even at the end of the sinking, are there still people who are unwilling to give up hope?

However, emotion, nostalgia, appreciation and even self-doubt are just a momentary spark that ignites and extinguishes.

The steel pythons of the past reaffirmed their beliefs - they have their beliefs, and they also have their own wishes. They want to maintain the world, and they want to revive Joshua. There is no such thing as "right and wrong" between all things in this world 'The contradiction, more, is the struggle between 'correct' and 'right'!

"But, without a doubt, I am more right than you."

The existence of Joshua, even the slightest significance to this multiverse is beyond your comparability. I don't need your forgiveness. No matter how many times I repeat it, I will do the same.

She said so, thought so, and then, after practicing hard for a long time, she got the power of the steel python in the past, raised her hand, and saw an incomparably huge snake-shaped drill, and started to use Karlis The arm condenses and grows at the center, until in the end, it is almost like a drill-shaped continent, a coiled giant snake, lifted up by a person.

The gigantic drill dropped down and aimed at the mobile city below her. The silver-haired lady's eyes were as cold as an abyss.

"Hand over all the Star Sons."

The incomparably huge drill bit in his hand started to rotate, making a roar that made the atmosphere tremble, surrounded by raging astral-level storms, and Karlis said indifferently: "Otherwise, I will smash your world to pieces."
