The Three Realms and Nine Heavens, the Steel Continent, the Shining Regional Core Zone, the Great South Star Cross Star Zone.

In the cross-shaped livable area formed by one thousand two hundred bright stars, there is an extremely huge behemoth creature flying on the silver steel continent.

It was a moving city that was constantly rotating like a disc, causing huge storms around it. Its bottom was at a certain distance from the steel continent, and the blue fluorescent traces flashed, and the invisible position pushed it forward. This was not so much a walk, but rather a low-altitude flight.

On the disk, there are a semicircular giant net woven from golden energy arcs. It is the sky of this mobile city with a radius of 76,500 kilometers. You can see that there are thirty-five layers of light curtain formations with different functions mixed in it, maintaining the ecological stability of the internal small world.

【Glory World Church Mobile City Anseno】

This is the headquarters of the [Ash Cult] and even before the Ash Cult, many gods' temples in the Age of Gods, an ancient city that has been wandering on the Steel Continent for more than 80,000 years. In this city, there are blessings and blessings from more than tens of thousands of gods in the past dynasties. Every inch of its land and every little dust has even been soaked in divine power and obtained immortal characteristics. The thirty-five layers of divine power magic array have even resisted several unexpected "Star Falling Rain" and have been bombarded by hundreds of stars without any change.

It can be seen that countless flying ships are anchored at the ports outside the disk city, with flags of the Ashes Cult hanging on them. In the inner layer of the world, there are continuous planting areas, industrial areas, temple areas, and at the edge of the world, a vast ocean of god-making nano-mass. This is the masterpiece of the former "God of All Machines", a recyclable and regenerated divine creation, which is the "divine artifact" in the popular sense.

Today, the God of All Machines has passed away 50,000 years ago, but the creation is still operating normally. It is responsible for maintaining the entire mobile world. It is one of the reasons why this ancient world city can still be as new as it was just forged after 80,000 years, and it is also the raw material for all creations in the city's industrial furnace.

It can be seen that there are billions of light-seekers living and living in this world. They come and go back and forth in major areas, work and live, and occasionally take airships to other mobile cities for exchanges and visits. When resting in trade, everyone acts like fire and has a firm goal. In this world, there is no confused person. Even if they rest, they are just to restore their energy and raise their spirits faster, so as to work better in the future. If, if beliefs can shine, then the city will definitely emit light brighter than stars. It burns, urging the world and moving in the direction they want.

And in the center of this world, there is an extremely towering giant tower. At its top, it even broke through the thirty-five layers of divine power formations, standing outside the world barrier. The tower is located between the real world and the earth. It seems to be forged by white rocks, flawless, and there is no gap or dissonance. There are not many light-seekers coming and going around it. Only a few can see at a glance that the high-level members of the Ashes Cult 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 Heaven, the Tower of Listening to the Sun, etc., but now, after the Ashes Cult has collected all the wreckage of God and taken over this glorious world city, its name has been changed to [Torch Tower], and its function is the same as before, and it is the core center of the entire world and the entire sect.

"The first zodiac, the Grand Inquisition, Gloren, disappeared while on duty, and the seventy-five elite temple guards who accompanied him were also collectively lost contact, without exception."

In an inconspicuous office, a lady dressed in a majestic and decent dressed in three-layer crown was sitting in her seat, staring calmly at the front, and the two judges wearing black and red intercourse judges and ordinary faces bowed their heads slightly and reported their work to each other: "According to the analysis of the think tank, the task of admonishing Alpha Falst should have failed, and the star sons Carlis and Mycrov behind them should be the cause of Gloren's failure."

The Ashes Cult is an organization that was initially formed after the age of the gods, in order to restrain the corpses of the gods, bury them collectively, and fight against chaos. The core decision-making level of the "Apostle Presbyterian Church" was originally the original Pope's son of the major churches and the Patriarch of the Holy See. The so-called first apostle is the nominal leader of the entire apostle presbyterian church, and the position taken by leaders of various different churches took turns.

Of course, 50,000 years have passed, and the First Apostle has long been well deserved. Those who are not the strongest cannot serve as actual leader. The first Apostle of this Ashes Cult is the leader of the former Star Sea and the God of Exploration. The legendary strongman who has served as the leader of the Cult for 152 years, Malamonyga.

"Has it failed?"

The voice of the First Sect was very calm. She lowered her head, continued to control the light curtain, and reviewed many documents. Because the Ashes Cult advocated frugality, since 34,000 years ago, the major sacred places were no longer office areas for the sects, but became public places. Even the First Sect was no exception. She usually handled official duties and practiced in the offices on the 3600th floor of the Torch Tower. Mara did not seem annoyed by the failure of the mission: "This is normal. Karlis and Mycrov were originally the Grand Secretary of the Capital of Learning, with extremely strong power. They awakened the power of the Son of Stars. Ordinary legends may not be able to defeat them. If they took action, it would be normal for Gloren to fail."

"But in this way, the two of them exposed their whereabouts when Gloren followed, and they should have left a mark."

"Yes."

The middle-aged judge in charge replied strongly: "Sectarian, do we need to send a few legendary powerful men to persuade him? It may be too late to follow the traces now."

Mara did not reply immediately. She focused on reviewing several documents, and then said, "No, I felt that Gloren's candlelight had not yet been extinguished, he was not dead, and the temple guards were not dead, and they probably were arrested."

"Since our church members are not in danger of life, there is no need to take such a big risk to weaken the defensive power of other areas to capture the two Star Sons who can hide among the stars. Don't talk about the other party's own legendary strength. Will there be any improvement in recent years? The sudden movements in the dusk area are gradually increasing, and the number of Chaos monsters has increased significantly, and we have no spare energy."

Saying this, the female priest 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 Star Sons are concerned about him, and his daughter is also a Star Son... He may indeed have some instinctive attraction to identify the Star Son's ability. It would be best if he could join us, but if he could not, it would not be so urgent."

"As for Gloren, I will send someone to try to negotiate with the other party later. We can cancel their pursuit and let them let our church members go home. After all, the conflict is not too deep. Since they are unwilling to live as the saints of the Stars, as long as they do not interfere with our 'Road of Fire' plan, they will live in the dusk area."

As for the shining area, it is impossible. The more stars the star sons are, the more their abilities will rise. They can not chase each other, but they cannot let the other party live freely in their sphere of influence, enjoying the endless glory of the shining area that they can only maintain by fighting all their efforts.

Mara and the judges did not know the truth afterwards, and they did not receive any news about Gloren's "discovering the Crystal Observatory". They thought that the other party was just following him and Karlis and Mycrov discovered it, so they were caught.

Soon, the two judges left the mission, which was issued by the First Apostle in person, and naturally they came to report in person. Otherwise, they could just report through the light curtain network. The First Apostle Malamonica was still sitting in his simple seat, cultivating his own strength while handling official duties.

However, after a long time, the woman, who was over two hundred years old and still had her appearance as she did when she was young, had devoted most of her life to the entire sect. She raised her hand tiredly, rubbed her forehead, and sighed in a low voice.

"Oh... when will all light-seekers unite and strive to explore, and contribute to the future of our world and the future of their civilization..."

The tone of the legendary strong man was close to moaning and praying. She closed her eyes, her tone was full of helplessness: "Is it right to conceal the 'the world is about to be destroyed' from the entire League of Nations, and the flame is about to be extinguished?"

Although the world will not be turbulent in this way and can continue to enjoy peace, the sect has lost more help and can only walk alone... Just like the two Star Sons, if they knew the truth in this world, would they still escape like they are now?

But whether it is escaping, at least they don’t have to sacrifice. It’s better if sentient beings don’t know that, at least they can still enjoy peace.

Sacrifice to save the world... Who else can do this except us?

Thinking about this question, Mara now had only a deep helplessness besides smiling bitterly.

If we inform the entire Three Realms, Nine Heavens, Ten Thousand Nation and All races that this world is about to be destroyed and returned to the darkness of nirvana, then how much turmoil will occur in this vast world now? Will they unite and strive to overcome difficulties, or fall into complete despair, and plan to have a carnival at the last time in their lives? To be honest, no one will hold optimistic ideas about such things. Light-seekers are not a race with great enlightenment. Most of them have lived in mobile world cities throughout their lives, with narrow vision, just like insects huddled in shells. They prefer to stay in a comfortable steel shell than changing the world.

You should know that not everyone is willing to sacrifice for the "larger collective" when facing disasters. Most wise lives always care more about their existence. If they really can't survive, it is better to enjoy such a moment of joy and return without regrets than sacrifice.

To be more selfish and normal, most intelligent lives will feel that if the world is about to be destroyed and saving it requires sacrificing its own life, it is better to let the whole world be destroyed together.

And this sentence and this idea are actually correct. After all, the most important thing about smart life is the self. Since the world is destroyed and the world is destroyed, and the world is destroyed and the world is destroyed, so why should we make others' happiness based on our own sacrifice? Why can't we let everyone die together?

[Since I am not happy, I want others to be unhappy either. What sacrifices and nobleness are all just to build the happiness of everyone on the death of a sacrifice.]

[Why can't it be someone else's sacrifice? If it's me? If this is what I'm not lucky, then I just want to say 'no'! There is no reason, I just don't want to, don't want to do this.]

[This world has never given me anything. I come alone, die alone, and I will never pay any price for it.]

[Everyone dies together and returns to the nirvana of nirvana together, which is also a pleasure.]

This idea is undoubtedly "correct" and indeed conforms to the "life instinct". This is a kind of instinct of fierceness, not friendly to this world, society and even fate, fighting and resisting. No one can force others to sacrifice, even God cannot!

However, this idea and this kind of thinking are actually cowardly.

"Why do we have to sacrifice to save the world? This is too strange, right? Can't we transform this world so that everyone can live peacefully without sacrificing it?"

"I am not happy, why do I have to make others unhappy, rather than try to make myself happy? Among the ten thousand people, there are 9,999 people who are unwilling to stand up and stay in their comfort zone, but there is always one person who is willing to stand up, not because he is forced, but because he takes the initiative to fight this fate!"

"Yes, the world we live in is so miserable. For example, it is like there is a beast guarding the important place in the sinister world. We have to choose one person from the tribe to feed it so that the tribe can pass through here safely. But why do we have to sacrifice one person instead of everyone taking up weapons and eliminating this beast together?"

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

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

Of course, the choice made by the latter, fighting with the "evil beasts" will definitely lead to more people's death, and even the entire tribe's vitality is severely damaged or even destroyed, but for death, for all the three realms and nine heavens, the difference between death lies in the mentality.

The "sacrifice" mentioned by the former is a forced act. Their anger and unwillingness, resentment and grief, the idea of ​​pulling people to lie to let all sentient beings die with them is natural and life is correct. No one can be refuted by "morality" or "righteousness"!

However, the "sacrifice" in the latter's mouth is not considered "sacrifice" or "death". They just chose to stand up, just swing their swords towards the world and all the destiny, fighting against all these sufferings and tortures, and finally, they were defeated.

And all the members of the Ashes Clan, at least the members living in the city of Anseno, the glorious world church, dare to swing their swords towards the heaven, earth, everything and destiny... Of course, as a large organization, they must also have dark, gloomy, shameful, full of blood and ugliness.

But, at least, Mara believes that all this is inevitable, because the sect is not strong enough, so the sacrifices to be made and the choices that have no choice but to be made.

"At the bottom of the dusk area, all the stars that are easy to pull but not easily discovered have long been pulled to the 'shadow star orbit' and transferred to the shining area through subspace. Now, the stars that are easier to pull but are easily discovered by other forces, or they are increased to go to a higher place and pull the stars around the 'first ladder' area."

The Ashes Cult has maintained the world's flame burning for 50,000 years, but it has not been discovered. In addition to the strict internal confidentiality system and various restrictive means, the stars they chose to pull are inconspicuous and are not easily found and missing. But now, all the suitable stars have been emptied, and the dusk area has long been riddled with holes. If you want to continue the lifespan of the world, you must make the Cult Cult cost a greater price or more eye-catching.

This choice is not easy to make. Even if you are enlightened, the power of the sect cannot be consumed in vain. But if people discover the migration of stars and then let the public discover the fact that the world is about to be destroyed, turmoil will definitely follow.

Shaking her head and opening her eyes, the first priest Maramuniga gave up thinking about this issue. She continued to lower her head. Do she handle official duties in this small office? Whether it is the sect or her, there are many things to deal with. The affairs of Karlis, Mycrov and Alpha are just a small episode. They cannot be persuaded and have no energy to arrest them. Naturally, they can only ignore them and let these people who want freedom live freely.

However, what neither the First Apostle nor the entire Ashes Cult had ever expected was.

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

Fifteen days later, a major news spread throughout the Shining Region and the Kingdoms.

[The Ashes Clan belongs to the world's military city Farramin, and is raided by unknown people. The sensory time of 11.79 billion people in the city and even the entire world has been stagnated. After recovery, the Ashes Clan's government center has been destroyed in this city. Fortunately, no casualties have been killed or killed, but a large amount of confidential information has been lost]

This is the news that has been circulated in many world cities. It sounds like a hostile force or a strong man deliberately humiliated the other party, and wanted to find some information as a black material. After all, the Ashes Cult has a great family, many followers, and many offended many people. It is not surprising to encounter such a thing. There have been many attacks in history in which the Ashes Cult Cult has been attacked.

But for the church, the destruction of the government center of the military city Faramin was simply an irrelevant little thing. What's more important is that they built near the cruise route of the military city Faramin. The secret foundation located in a mountain range was completely destroyed. The mysterious ancient obelisk numbered "Eleven" was invaded by the enemy, and the ancient powerful man code-named "Flower of Elements" was awakened and left!

"No one died in the staff in the Star Nest Base, including the legendary strong man guarding the base and the Star Striker Danor, were all placed in a 'light bubble' and sleeping. When our support troops rushed over, the light bubble was just broken and no one was killed or killed... But the Obelisk No. 11 completely lost its effectiveness, and the ancient strong man left, and we no longer had the energy to maintain the 'shadow star orbit' in the northwest area of ​​the Shining Area."

"It is a good thing without the sacrifice of the church members. It can also prove that the other party is not an innocent evil person who kills innocent people, nor is it an enemy of order... but how did they know about the Star Nest Base? This matter should be the top secret among the top secrets."

"Awaken the ancient strong men...what do they want to do?"

At the apostle meeting located at the Torch Tower, Mara held a simple and quick discussion with other apostles, but no matter how much she thought about it, she could not guess the other party's reasons. In this regard, the sect could only helplessly repair the government center of the military city of Faramin, and at the same time strengthened the defense of several other star nest bases, allocated more legendary strongmen defenses, and accelerated the migration of stars to avoid insufficient star transportation due to the failure of the shadow star orbit in the northwest.

After all, they don’t even know who the enemy is. How can they take the next move except for passive defense?

I hope the other party can calm down for a while. This is the most real idea of ​​all senior leaders of the sect.

But soon, the bad news came one by one.

First, the border colony of the dusk area was encountered as the largest invasion of chaos monsters since 5,000 years ago, and unprecedentedly rapid. In just less than half a month, hundreds of mobile urban colonies were surrounded, seventeen mobile cities lost contact and were suspected to have fallen, hundreds of billions of light-seeking people died, and the chaos wave continued to approach the depths of the dusk area. They were about to attack the "Ximen Star Chain Star Zone", and there were a larger number of mobile urban colonies there, which was the core of the order of the entire southwest of the dusk area and was also the edge defense line extremely close to the shining area.

Then, because the church was attacked some time ago, it did not make much moves, but instead narrowed its actions, and was regarded by many other forces as a precursor to the "church has begun to weaken". Many countries and forces in the League of Nations began to cast different gazes at the Ashes. They had long felt that such a super-large religious organization passed down from the age of the gods was wrong. Now even half a god is not there, what else should the church do? Especially since they have controlled so many gods, this is a gift belonging to all the light-seekers. How can the church be held by themselves?

But what makes them most heartbreaking is not that some mobile cities on the edge of these shining areas have begun to cast extremely heavy defensive arrays for their world, preparing to completely isolate them from the outside world for hundreds of years. Faced with the upcoming chaos tide, they did not intend to fight and help their compatriots, but planned to retract into their shells, let the chaos rag and then leave. Anyway, there are not many chaotic monsters that can break through the specially thickened barriers of the world's cities, and the world's cities are self-sufficient and do not need much external communication.

What does the suffering in the dusk area have to do with them? Anyway, the Chaos clan cannot exist in the Shining Area for too long, so it will be fine if you endure it.

In a short period of time, the invasion of chaos, the indifference of compatriots, the change of attitudes of allies and the vague peeping peeping, and at the same time, threatened the entire light-grabbing civilization circle, threatening the Ashes Cult. The reason why the Chaos Cult made such rapid progress this time was also found. It was precisely because the twilight area was transferred from the stars by the sect, which has been shrinking in the past 50,000 years, so that it can no longer provide buffers for the shining area, and can only allow monsters to continue to attack.

The times began to rush in the turmoil, and everything that was stable began to gradually shake under the passage of time.

But even under the cover of the news of the massive invasion of chaos, there are always one and one great event after another. According to rumors, explorers found one after another hidden mountain peaks at the edge of the dusk area or the core area, which was very spectacular. They were suspected to be crystal obelisks of the ruins of the Age of the Gods. They appeared with the glory of the sky and the earth again and again, standing in the sky and earth.

At the same time, the sect that had fully reduced its defense also felt panic because the fifteen star nest bases that were strictly guarding and prepared were being fully breached one after another. Including the original No. 11 base, a total of eight powerful men in the ancient obelisk were rescued, causing the shadow star orbit to lose its energy source. This is already half the number, and even if the other half of the star orbits continue to pull the stars, they cannot continue to maintain the flames in the shining area.

Even not only the sect was feeling panicked, but even the giant League of Nations began to sluggishly notice that the territory of the shining area seemed to have been reduced by such a small amount during this period, and there was indeed a force in its own territory that came from more than one where it was acting.

They are few in number but have strong strength. These powerful people who do not belong to this era are hurriedly passing through this world and walking on a trajectory that is uninterrupted with all things in the three realms and nine heavens.

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

In the Twilight Zone, a small team of different races and different forms, including carbon-based human-shaped and silicon-based iron balls. The strange-looking strong man was speeding rapidly in a mountain range, as if he was looking for something. In the process, a lady with red eyes and slightly dark skin seemed to be chatting with someone, so she pulled up the expressionless blond boy next to her and started chatting forcibly.

“Not very good.”

Regarding the question of the reincarnation of the steel python in my hometown, Eagle calmly answered. He recalled his journey in the three realms and nine heavens in recent times, and couldn't help but shake his head: "Most of the people live numbly. I really didn't expect that the team of the Ashes Cult I encountered when I woke up was actually the most spiritual, energetic and faithful group of people."

"As for others, what do you mean? It's like... a 'living zombie' running in pursuit of the sun."

When I heard this sentence, it was not just Mycrov. Even in the team, in the former Star Falling Star River Alliance, they fought and died with the evil gods cluster with Joshua. Now they are resurrected, not only nodded slightly and expressed their agreement. A very appropriate metaphor for chasing the living zombies of the sun. This is the fact that they have seen in recent days.

"Yes." Hearing this, Mycrov sighed. She was once the python of steel, the mother of all things. She had witnessed a great civilization rising, developing, expanding and expanding in her. Her feelings could only be deeper than Eagle: "The suppressed world, dangerous stars, long-term migration and pursuit, and never stop escaping and surrendering. All intelligent lives live in the steel shell called the world city, allowing one's own life to survive and let one's soul gradually decay."
To be continued...
