Chapter 3 Fire Transmission and Extinguishing (7000)
"...No matter what, the Grand Judgment, what's the point of saying so much?"
Alpha was silent for a moment of the inciting words of the old man of the Ashes Cult, Judge Gloren, and then sneered and shook his head, "After all, I am just a stupid guy who can't even see your trap. Now it's still in your hands. You say black if you want to say black, and say white if you want to say white. I can't say no, right?"
After saying this, Alpha sighed in his heart that the Ashes did not arrest him before because they needed to find this "crystal obelisk". Now, their purpose has been achieved, so is his existence still valuable? Can the safety of his wife and children be guaranteed? To be honest, this is really not guaranteed at all. Although the Ashes is a well-known orthodox organization in the entire Shining Area, he is not a good person.
"You think your role is just a little bit?"
However, Gloren looked at him with a smile: "Bachelor Alpha, don't underestimate your value too much. Who do you think you are can easily travel through the distant dusk area and come to the light-free belt, just like the guide of fate. You will come to your destination without encountering any chaotic monsters, and finally you can cross all the security facilities of this crystal obelisk without risk and reach the deepest part of this prehistoric ruin?"
"Do you think that ordinary people can give birth to talented geniuses like your daughter and your son?"
Hearing this sentence, Alpha immediately raised his head, staring at the old man in front of him with his eyes fixed on him, his eyes that were terrible.
But Gloren didn't care. He shook his head at the guards around him, indicating that they didn't need to stay in the same place to guard, but asked them to explore the corner of the hall. After the guards left, the white-haired judge signaled Alpha to follow him and then strode towards the center of the hall.
Although he wanted to kill Gloren's family with one blow, Alpha really wanted to know the news about his daughter and son, so he could only keep up. Gloren knew this very well, so he said without looking back: "Don't worry, Bachelor Alpha, your daughter, son, and your wife are all very good. It would be better to say that their living conditions in the Ashes Cult are much better than what you can provide in the Capital of Learning. After all, we need the strength of your daughter to move the stars."
"Moving...stars?!"
When he heard this, countless thoughts flashed through Alpha's mind, such as the large-scale disappearance of stars in the dusk area, the increasingly widening dull zone, the ultimate purpose of the Ashes Cult, and the purpose of his own teachers and others. But in the end, thousands of words were condensed into one sentence: "How are you doing my daughter? What are the moving stars, Siberia... "
"Siberjafalst is just an ordinary little girl, are you right to say that? But it's a big mistake."
Although Gloren seemed old, he was a very powerful man after all. Even if Alpha was angry, he would beat him. However, he did not stimulate Alfa much, but said bluntly: "Don't worry, Siberia is now almost a Son in the sect. No one dared to do anything to her. Although your son is not so amazing, he is also a god-giver who can adapt to the power of the divine weapon. Not to mention your wife, she doesn't even know your movements. She only knows that you may have gone out of a long house and are now happily taking your children in the joy of becoming a talent."
"Then, that hand..."
"Forty thousand years ago we had complete cloning technology and you didn't even check if that hand belonged to your child. It was a waste of the efforts of our technicians. It was really too easy to believe it."
Although he didn't know whether the other party was saying true or not, after Gloren arrived, he had never hurt himself. In addition, the other party's tone was too casual, and it didn't seem like he was lying. Alpha's originally surging hatred was stuck for a while... Of course, he also knew very well that the other party relied on words and roared back and forth and dispelled his hatred and anger, so as to destroy his sense of confrontation, so that he could pry open his mouth better after this, but compared to this, he wanted to know the recent situation of his relatives.
But unfortunately, Gloren didn't say much, he just continued to step towards the center of the hall and then threw a sentence.
"Did you know, Bachelor of Alpha, there was once a god in this world."
"...This is a well-known fact. Fifty thousand years ago and one hundred thousand years ago, the long 50,000 years have been the age of the gods."
Ignoring the other party's tone of 'what nonsense', Gloren continued: "But fifty thousand years ago, the age of the gods came to an abrupt end. All gods lost their power, and naturally, they all died."
"First of all, it is the God of War, then the God of Duel, the God of Murder and other gods related to fighting and killing. They lose their divine power first, and then there are gods in various regions. In the end, all gods lost their divine power. At that time, the Ashes Cult was still a church of different gods and an organization serving the Heavenly Father. Therefore, we recorded in detail the time and order of each god's loss of divine power. Since then, many floating cities fell from the sky and turned into ruins and dust."
"Do you understand? In less than five years, all the gods have gradually lost their divine power, and our gods have no time to make warnings to prepare for the entire temple on the Great Heavenly Mountain in the past, and the divine power transmission network built with it as the center has disappeared. Our kingdom has been divided by a long distance, and our cities have destroyed one after another that we once had, and it has completely ended because of the departure of divine power and the gods."
When he said this, Gloren's tone was a deep regret, but he did not seem to regret the passing of the gods, but rather regret the weakness of the light-trapping civilization: "Our civilization completely contracted from the vast and vast dusk area back to the shining area... but guess what we found at that time?"
"The shining zone is also shrinking and becoming smaller."
At this moment, the two had arrived at the center of the hall. Just above their heads was the crystal prism of the sleeping blonde boy. Gloren turned around and looked at the face of his astonishment and a little bit of sudden appearance. His tone was plain: "In just two hundred years, the area of the shining area has shrunk by one-twentieth, and the speed of this shrinkage is still accelerating! According to this trend, it only takes less than a thousand years, and all the light-seekers will probably live in eternal dusk and even eternal darkness."
But fifty thousand years have passed, and the shining area still exists.
Thinking of this fact and the other party's statement of "moving stars" in his mouth, a terrible possibility surged into Alpha's heart. He looked at Gloren and then said slowly: "So, you just move the stars from other places... to the shining area? Is this how you continue the shining fire..."
"To be precise, it's not us, but the stars' holy sons."
The gray-haired judge had a calm face. He whispered to praise the Father, and then continued: "At the most desperate moment, the founders of the Ashes Cult discovered that in this world that was about to be extinguished, some extremely special children gradually appeared."
"They are basically all girls, and there is no such restriction in some light-trapping races that can reproduce unilaterally or multi-gender. But no matter what, these special children have the ability to nurture offspring. And they... they can control the trajectory of stars, and even control the earth of steel to a certain extent, and accelerate the speed of star formation!"
"It's strange, right? Don't show an incredible expression. This is the fact, and we don't know how the founders discovered this... In short, at the beginning, we called these children "Shepherds" or the reincarnation of all powerful gods because their commands can control the world and drive the actions of the stars, but then we found that these children are more like "guiding" than "driven", or "hope" the stars move in the direction they want, rather than commands and controls, so now we call them the Son of the Stars."
Although it is underestimated, Alpha can imagine how desperate the light-seekers who discovered that the area of the shining area was shrinking rapidly in that era when they lost the gods and were welcoming the invasion of chaos, and how happy they were after discovering the "Son of the Stars" was that they were in a desperate situation, which was definitely not something that they and those who later generations could understand.
At this time, Gloren's tone also seemed sincere.
"The Ashes Clan has been discovering as much as possible and cultivating more star-sacred sons. We transport stars from the dusk area to the shining area, providing new torches for the central area... Fifty thousand years have passed, and our civilization is still continuing. We have not ushered in the dark age where the flames are extinguished, and they are still burning tenaciously like ashes."
"So, do you know? Grand Secretary Alpha."
"Our 'Ash Cult' is the existence that has been trying to save the entire world! And your teacher and your boss are all the "Sheng Sons" we have not discovered. They have only known recently. They also have the ability to control the stars, but they are unwilling to contribute this power to the continuation of our entire civilization. Instead, they have been secretly destroying our actions in searching for other Star Sons! This is an act of hostility to all light-seekers, and an almost chaotic act!"
"Join us your teacher is unwilling to contribute his own strength to civilization. We understand this selfishness, but we hope that you can leave your prejudices and become one of us."
While Alpha was shocked, he also connected all the clues... Why did Teacher Carlis take so much care of his daughter? Why did the stars disappear so much and did not cause any waves in the League of Nations? It's not simple. The top leaders are residents of the Shining Area. They must have supported this act of looting stars in the dusk area without hesitation!
In this way, basically everyone's actions became reasonable. The reason why the Ashes Cult was so gentle to me in the early stage and now that I was so gentle to myself, I probably knew that I could not betray the teacher so simply, so I found an opportunity to follow me, try to convince myself in a place that no one knows, be a spy, or follow the clues, find the hidden strongholds of the teachers and the others, and then get more of the Star Sons in the hands of the teachers and the others.
Everything makes sense... except for one thing.
"You are right, Lord Judgment, I can't think of any rebuttal in order to continue the shining zone, the existence of our civilization's true core circle, even if the stars in the dusk circle are plundered and countless colonies are destroyed, it actually doesn't matter. After all, all the people I know and know live in the shining zone, and all this is good for me."
"But...what is this crystal obelisk? Why do you follow me here, and it's like you're always looking for it, and this life sleeping in the obelisk..."
He said this, Alpha raised his head and looked at the dense inscriptions and runes on the crystal prism above his head, as well as the shining and gathering light. His tone became quiet: "And, how did the Son of Star control so many stars? You have never told me about Siberia's situation, just saying that she is the Son of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Saint of Sa
“…You have too many problems.”
Gloren sighed: "This crystal obelisk... I can only tell you that this obelisk is actually a kind of 'enhancing signal tower'. There is one in the Great Heavenly Sacrificial Mountain. As for the life sleeping here... the mural has already been clearly stated? A Seven Divine Holy Master from the beginning of the founding of all things, a great hero who fought against chaos with his Heavenly Father."
"You want to wake him up?" Finally, Alpha said in a rather dry tone: "Let this sleeping hero serve you?"
"Of course not, or in other words, what we want to awaken is not him, but now we need his power. Otherwise, how can we control the flow of billions of stars just by relying on those Star Saint Sons who were even ordinary people not long ago or even little girls?"
Speaking of this, Gloren glanced at Alpha's expressionless face, and the white-haired judge couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that you still don't plan to cooperate, right? I'm so patient and so gentle... Why can't you understand? In this dark era when the flames are about to go out, all means are necessary. We give everything to the flames that have lasted for tens of thousands of years, and the sacrifices of generations of brothers and sisters of the sect... For our civilization, the sect has indeed done many sins, but we will not regret it."
"Of course, if I could, I really wish I could go on it."
As he said this, Gloren waved his right hand, and the sparks ignited between his palms, and instantly turned into a flaming sword. He walked slowly to Alpha and declared for the last time: "Bachelor Alpha, you are the light-seeker, I will not kill you, but we will brainwash you and let your knowledge and identity be used for us. It is best not to resist, I will use my strength as light as possible."
"I believe you have indeed contributed everything to save the civilization of the Light-Traveler, but I would rather believe in my teacher and my own instinct than you! Thank you for your explanation, I have understood a lot of things now."
Facing Gloren, who was approaching him and a big class higher than him, Alpha's body was trembling irresistibly, but he still stood firmly. The man whose ears had become sharp and the surface of his body was covered with a thin layer of silver light, suddenly raised his head, and then shouted at the endless glory hanging from the top of the hall: "Praise the Lord! Abort the dormant warmth program! Activate and repair the light column! Start the awakening process!" (Microv's common phrase with silver fairy accent)
"An unknown pope, prehistoric heroes, people in red and black robes want to treat you as a battery!" (Microv's common phrase with silver fairy accent)
"...what are you talking about?" (Zhu Guangyu)
The white-haired old man was stunned for a moment. He vaguely felt that the language Alpha was speaking was a little familiar, as if he had heard some similar clips somewhere... But soon, he realized something was wrong.
Because, a powerful and powerful force that surpassed the ordinary gods and reached a "limit", was reviving on the heads of everyone present, and woke up, filled with his own terrifying aura.
A low buzzing sound came, as if it was shaking the entire obelisk and the whole world.
"What, what's going on?"
Although he couldn't figure out the reason, there was no doubt that all this was related to the Alpha who suddenly spoke and spoke an unknown language! Gloren made a quick decision and rushed towards Alpha at full speed, but when he didn't even have the intention to kill himself in the end and just wanted to convince Alpha to brainwash, he was destined to be the end.
Because, accompanied by the solidified silver crystal prism, accompanied by the crisp sound of glass, it turned into a light column that ran through the entire hall and even the obelisk. The light-blond long-haired boy sleeping in the crystal gently opened his eyes. The huge heartbeat sound came, and the sound of roaring and trembling. In this increasingly rapid and vital sound, the boy clenched his fists. He was confused, and then suddenly realized.
Ah, so long has passed?
But it doesn't matter, because he has awakened from the long and long time to the eternal sleep that seems to be dead.
With his head down, the light in the blonde boy's eyes was very gentle, just like the dawn of early summer, kind and warm. Looking at the people in the hall, he laughed and then blinked.
Then all the light, all the actions of everyone, stopped.
"Is there still a cycle of disputes between order?"
It was not until this time that Gloren, who was stagnant in place and maintained his charge towards Alpha, recalled where he had heard this language. It was an ancient divine language. It was rumored that it was a language used by some gods at the beginning of the creation of heaven and earth... Moreover, compared with the voices of gods that were passed down, the language in front of him was more simple and the tone was gentler.
"I understand, the reason for your argument...even if it is right and right, we should pay attention to distinguishing the superiority and inferiority. As long as we are not strong, we must face a dilemma."
In an instant, the colorful light bubbles lingering at the top of the hall gathered behind the boy, and the light gathered and turned into a pure white robe to cover him. He took a step forward, and the majestic holy light rushed out in all directions like a tsunami, running through the upper and lower ends of the entire crystal obelisk!
Outside the crystal obelisk, in the light-free zone, you can see that on the mountain of Chaos Corpse that buried the entire obelisk, cracks like blood vessel scars began to burst out, and holy light burst out from these cracks. They were like sharp swords, one by one, and after the entire mountain was broken by the huge holy light, the towering mountain, which was as huge as twenty-four lights, collapsed and faded away in this way. A bright holy light shot out from the top of the obelisk, strengthened and increased, and finally turned into a pillar of light that penetrated the infinite darkness of the light-free area, reaching the Heavenly Branches!
And in the huge earthquake gradually spreading towards the endless distance, the smoke and dust rising endlessly, a majestic silver obelisk broke out from the ancient rock formations and history, standing on the earth, the dazzling holy light shone through thousands of kilometers, and countless chaotic monsters turned into ashes just by contact!
At this moment, Alpha, who was also stagnant in the obelisk, looked at Gloren, who was shocked and angry, with his eyes full of pleasure.
"I didn't expect it?"
"I can understand these inscriptions!"
Since entering the obelisk, Alpha has always felt that there was an instinct to awaken in his bloodline. When he looked at the murals before, he felt that he could vaguely understand the complex inscriptions. As time went by, the memory and knowledge became clearer. It was thanks to Gloren who had always wanted to convince him to join the Ashes Cult. Otherwise, he might not be able to understand the inscription hanging at the top of the hall next to the crystal prism.
【Dust cleaning every three days】
[Don't forget to check the dormant warming program]
[Before starting the wake-up process, remember to activate and repair the light column first, otherwise it will be difficult for the sleeper to come out by himself]
[Don't forget to praise the Lord loudly (emphasis)]
It would be fine if you didn't recognize this series of inscriptions, but after knowing them, Alpha found that these words were written crookedly, and the fonts were large and small. It was completely obvious that the life of writing this passage had never thought about beauty at all, but it was all up to you! Awakening this unknown sleeping life may be what the teacher wanted to do here. Being able to understand these inscriptions with extremely poor writing is undoubtedly something that only you can do!
At this moment, outside the obelisk, deep in the light-free area, there is the top of another mountain.
"It seems that the little guy is doing a good job. Another old friend has woken up, and it is different from us guys who awaken halfway and have no power. He holds enough power to change the current situation."
Wearing a brown capable explorer suit, silver hair and red eyes, fair skin, if it weren't for a bizarre eyeglasses, she would have completely said that she was a famous bachelor of beauty, Baron Carlis stared at the rising pure white light column in the distance, and she said with emotion: "I'm talking about it again, alas, I really can't understand... Why do some weird things about fairies always appear in humans?"
"You've made a mistake. As far as I know, this time the fairy should have confessed to the little guy's ancestor first."
On the side of Carllis, he was also silver-haired and red-eyed, but his skin was slightly healthy and brown. When he shook his head and fingers, he said, "The races there are relatively pure, and there are more mixed races here. I need to tell me how did mermaids mix with horses and horses back then, creating the seahorse clan?"
“…No.”
Shocked by the fact that his friends had fallen below the lower limit of the three views of ordinary humans, Carllister paused for a moment before continuing to look at the crystal obelisk. Her tone was quite emotional: "It seems that I did not read it wrong. Among the people of the Target of the Steel Continent, he was indeed the only guy who completely awakened the blood of the Silver Fairy and held the internal management authority of this "Silver World".
"Since all the silver fairies died in the Chaos Battle 50,000 years ago, and the remaining part was voluntarily converted into a 'Divine Machine', this is probably the last bloodline left by the guy's family."
"The guy who can attract the reincarnation of the Steel Python is naturally not an ordinary person. Compared to these, he is still with the people of the Ashes Cult now, is it okay?"
Shrugged, unable to continue the secret of blood between the mermaid, the horse and the seahorse. Mycrov seemed a little indifferent: "If Eagle accidentally asked them to kill your student, the last Silver Fairy authority would be gone."
"Let's not talk about whether Iger is so slow, even if he dies, he will be resurrected. What's more, the Ashes Cult will not do this. Although their methods are dirty and ugly and inhumane, they are really working hard to save the world, which is the same as us."
Speaking so, Karlis and Mycrov slowly rose at the same time, their bodies were wrapped in silver light, and a leaping light was shining towards the direction of the Holy Light Beacon in the distance. When they jumped and left and headed to the place where the obelisk was, they could hear the last voice of Karlis.
"Just, if their purpose is to 'renew the fire'."
"Then our purpose is to 'extinguish the fire'."
The day when the firewood is gone and the time when the flames are rekindled.
This day will finally come, it will come, and it will come soon.
Chapter completed!
