About my own time travel.
Roger had many speculations.
He imagined that some supreme being had brought him here.
The purpose is to save the planet or save the universe——
This kind of script, in which he is chosen by fate to be the savior, is quite appealing to him.
At the very beginning.
He thought this being was Mystra.
Later on.
He thought it was Xuan who summoned him.
So when Xuan asked that series of questions.
Roger was completely confused.
It turns out that my time travel was not Xuan's intentional design?
But an accident?
…
Facing the other person's scrutinizing gaze.
Roger rubbed his temple.
Subconsciously said:
"I have no idea……"
But very quickly.
He caught the loophole between Xuan's preface and postscript:
"If you just want to ask me this question, there is no need to share those previous secrets with me, right?"
A smile appeared on Xuan's face:
"Indeed, I am indeed curious about your origins, but since you remained indifferent when I explained the story of that guy, it means that you really know nothing about it, otherwise you would not be able to hide it from my eyes..."
"but!"
He raised a note:
"What I hate most in my life is factors that are beyond my control. Just like I said just now, your arrival disrupted my plans, and I know nothing about you, but I still have to place high hopes on you - this makes me very unhappy!"
"Due to my position, I can't really do anything to you, so the minimum amount of intimidation and questioning is understandable, right?"
Speaking of.
Xuan blinked with amusement.
Roger remained silent.
What.
He is obviously a god, but he is so frivolous, which completely subverts the image of Xuan in his mind.
Although Xuan clearly told him that it was an accident.
But Roger still pays extra attention to this area.
He asked:
"Did I capture any useful information when I crossed over? If someone else sent me here, then there must be traces of him doing something, right?"
Xuan shook his head:
…
"The strange thing is here. When I checked the rampaging force, I didn't find any signs of someone else using the force... Unless his strength is much higher than mine, and he is a true transcendent, like the Star Shepherd, I will definitely find some clues!"
…
“On the other hand, Mystra and I discovered a summoning spell when tracing your arrival, and the place where the summoning occurred and the place where the power of this spell was directed were both in this universe.
We found a coordinate in that direction.
It is deep in the starry sky.
But we found nothing there..."
…
Roger frowned.
Xuan continued:
"Based on my understanding of planes and time travel, it is impossible for someone to disappear so cleanly after summoning you, unless the summoner..."
Roger suddenly blurted out:
…
"Unless the summoner is myself? Myself in a different time and space or a different universe!"
…
"That's about it. You are actually a potential multi-universe life, but your current strength has not yet grown to that level. Many people think that I want to create a multi-universe life - they all overestimate me. Although I have the strength of a powerful god, I am still far from the state of being a king..."
…
Xuan waved his hand:
…
"It's obviously impossible for you now to summon your past self, so I don't expect you to answer my questions.
And you don’t have to immerse yourself too much in the cycle of crossing and exploration——
Everything in the world happens naturally.
You should know it when you should know it.
Knowing in advance can at most satisfy your curiosity.
And curiosity.
It’s probably the most useless thing in human beings…”
…
Roger didn't argue.
Although he believes that curiosity is also one of the driving forces of human progress.
But a fallen god like Xuan probably wouldn't be able to understand it.
He is a true genius.
I have already established my own way of thinking.
Roger had no interest in changing other people's minds.
As long as he stands on my side during a fight...wait!
fight?
Roger's face suddenly turned serious:
"I really know nothing about the time travel, but I do have a question about the current situation... Which side are you from?"
"I am the god of the Celestial Clan, and secondly the god of the ten great planets. One of my duties is to protect this universe."
Xuan said meaningfully:
"Do you understand what I mean?"
"So you became a whirlpool creature to protect this universe?"
Roger asked pointedly.
"certainly!"
Xuan Li said confidently:
"If it weren't for my male form sacrificing himself and becoming a vortex creature, this universe would have collapsed in itself several epochs ago!"
Roger took a deep breath.
He knows.
The biggest secret of the universe may be right in front of us.
He looked at Xuan sincerely.
The latter looked at him scrutinizingly.
After a while.
Xuan flicked the corner of his clothes:
"Why are you so serious? I've already told you that I still need your help with my plan. I won't leave out anything I need to tell you."
Speaking of.
He asked Roger:
"You should have obtained the extra-dimensional material testing site, right?"
"It's the one who possesses both the magic spring and the spiritual eye..."
Roger nodded.
…
"As you can see, this experiment proves that ether and gas at high purity will pull each other to form a vortex, and three kinds of matter will be born in the center of the vortex: super-dimensional matter, distorted matter, and vortex matter..."
…
“But in fact, in the earliest rituals left by my ancestor, the Star Shepherd, only one kind of substance was produced at the center of the vortex, and that is the extra-dimensional substance that is enough to enable low-dimensional life forms to gain the power of transcendence!”
…
“Remember I told you that the original Celestials were not willing to settle in this universe?
This is because in the beginning.
The origin of this universe has been destroyed!
The culprit is still the man from the future I told you about before.
He orchestrated the collapse of the universe in the future.
therefore.
From the beginning, this universe was a huge prison or cemetery - it was used to imprison and even bury all the gods!"
…
…
The source of the universe.
It refers to a framework that is created when a universe emerges from the void.
Different universes have different cosmic origins.
The form of the universe's source embryo determines the future development direction of the universe.
According to Xuan.
When the gods just arrived in this universe.
Then they discovered that the source of the universe here had been destroyed artificially.
The source of the universe at that time was very similar to the scene Roger saw in the previous cave.
The two extraordinary energies at the beginning of the universe repelled each other.
They gather together among their own kind.
Forming a more densely populated magic spring and spirit eye.
The magic spring and the spiritual eye are located at the two ends of the universe.
A huge vortex formed between them.
And the center of the vortex.
This is where the seeds of the planet are brewing.
Under normal circumstances.
The power of the magic spring and the spiritual eye should be evenly matched.
The cosmic vortex will also maintain balance for a long time.
Create sufficient conditions for the birth of life in this universe.
And in this process.
A portion of vortex matter and a small amount of super-dimensional matter will be produced.
This is a characteristic of the origin of the universe.
The initial vortex matter is often controlled by the earliest life forms.
In this way, they gain the laws and authority of the universe.
Thus becoming a god in the original sense.
A small amount of extra-dimensional matter will lay the groundwork for the birth of transcendent beings in this universe in the future.
…
The methods left by the Star Shepherd among the Celestials.
It can enhance the probability of the birth of extra-dimensional matter.
Thereby greatly increasing the output of super-dimensional matter in a universe.
According to Xuan's research.
If you rely solely on the absorption of extra-dimensional matter to improve yourself.
Then the extra-dimensional matter produced by a universe in its entire life is not enough to produce a transcendent being.
Therefore, the original plan of the Celestials was to control multiple universes at the same time.
Just as the Shepherds once did—
Gather extradimensional matter from multiple universes to create a Transcendent.
Finally, feedback will be given to the whole family.
Unfortunately, the sudden appearance of the man from the future completely shattered their plans.
Not only were they forced to stay in this broken universe.
It was also discovered that someone had overturned the balance between the Magic Spring and the Spirit Eye!
This leads to the rise and fall of two extraordinary forces.
at the same time.
A third substance was born in the center of the vortex.
That is the distorted matter that now terrifies countless creatures on the nine planets!
There is no need to explain the dangers of distorted matter.
The only way to control distorted matter is to control vortex matter first.
After all, the two come from the same source.
After becoming a vortex creature.
The template itself can accommodate a large amount of distorted matter.
This is why Quinan took away so much distorted matter from the binary star after his 'defection'!
From this perspective.
The claim that vortex creatures can manipulate distorted matter is not without basis.
but.
There is also a limit to the amount of distorted matter that a single vortex creature can accommodate.
Some vortex creatures have also become brutal, cruel and irrational due to the influence of distorted matter.
It gets worse.
Vortex creatures cannot actively absorb or release distorted matter.
This means that they can only coexist passively with distorted matter.
They cannot get too close to normal life.
Otherwise they will be infected and turned into mutated creatures!
This is also one of the reasons why vortex creatures have lived deep in the starry sky for a long time.
Under Xuan's constraints.
Most vortex creatures have managed to meet this harsh condition of staying away from the real world.
Of course there are a few exceptions.
…
"As for the truth about distorted matter, I also slowly discovered it on my own many years after the invasion of distorted matter. Only one in ten of the elders of the Celestial God Clan is still alive. Many secrets have been buried in the dust of history, waiting for people to recover..."
…
Xuan said calmly:
…
"According to my research, distorted matter is just a byproduct of changes in the cosmic vortex. The more direct consequence of the latter is that it may cause the self-collapse of the universe!"
…
This is the root of the trouble!
According to Xuan.
Even if the source of the universe has developed into a complete universe.
The central vortex still needs to maintain a certain frequency of rotation.
Only in this way can the entire universe remain in a state of divergent expansion.
in this case.
Only then can civilization be established, developed and pioneered in an orderly manner.
And once the cosmic vortex begins to slow down.
The endogenous civilization of the entire universe will be affected.
Reflected on a specific planet.
That is the coming of the end of the world.
…
"It's not just Mystra or Quinan that are suffering from the crisis of doomsday. All planets are like this. They seem to have their own reasons, but in fact, they are all a series of consequences caused by the deceleration of the cosmic vortex..."
"For example, the forbidden spell of annihilation on the planet Mist was set up by the gods who did not understand distorted matter. Their purpose might be to destroy distorted matter, but the one who influenced them to destroy distortion with doomsday might be people from the future, or it might be the deeper rules of the universe..."
Xuan talked freely.
He seemed to be generous with the secrets he had worked so hard to uncover.
He told Roger the secrets of cosmic vortexes, magic springs, spiritual eyes, and the mutual transformation of extraordinary energy.
Despite Roger's current theoretical knowledge.
Most of the content seemed too difficult to understand.
But he still forced himself to remember every word.
He was willing to believe every word Xuan said.
It's an intuition.
…
After listening for half an hour.
Roger finally figured out what kind of dilemma the gods were facing at a higher level.
The invasion of distorted matter is merely a manifestation of the imbalance of the cosmic vortex.
Once the vortex speed is reduced to a certain level.
The entire universe would collapse in on itself.
Then there will be true disgrace!
This kind of doomsday is the cruelest.
But also the most gentle——
Because when this doomsday happens.
All living things in the universe will die and disappear without knowing it in an instant.
They will lose their lives.
Lost meaning.
Lost trace.
Become a wisp of dust in the multiverse.
No matter how prominent he was during his lifetime.
No matter how beautiful he was.
No matter how resourceful he is.
No matter how powerful he is.
Everyone's ending is the same.
That is to turn into nothingness.
…
"So you became a vortex creature and controlled the distorted matter while trying to keep the cosmic vortex spinning?"
Roger asked.
"Then why are your subordinates still hostile to me? Or, to the creatures of this world?"
Xuan was rarely silent.
After a while.
He said:
"Do you know the Fallen Battlefield?"
Roger nodded.
"That is where the masters of non-vortex creatures from the ten major planets fought their entire lives. For countless epochs, they fought bloody battles there, and the ones they fought against were my subordinates..."
Xuan sighed:
"From the beginning, the vortex creatures have been posing as an invasion - they really think so. I told them that one day we will rule the world.
Other creatures act as guardians.
The two sides fought over invasion and counter-invasion.
This battle is endless.
Many people will feel bored.
But they can't get out of this circle.
Do you know why? "
Roger's heart tightened.
He suddenly remembered what happened when he met Ilos in the Cloud Sea Realm.
At that time, the latter seemed to be tired of years of fighting.
There is a sense of relief in the final death.
…
"You have met Iros. He has been with me the longest. He probably guessed his own fate..."
Xuan said indifferently:
"I designed the Fallen Battlefield myself."
"I will not let go of anyone who enters the battlefield!"
"Because the purpose of this place is to ensure a never-ending war!"
"All participants in the war are victims of my plot and conspiracy..."
"Or... human flesh batteries?"
He laughed at himself.
Next second.
A magnificent picture suddenly appeared in front of Roger.
…
"Hint: You have discovered the Fallen Battlefield"
…
