In the endless wasteland.
There are tiny bits of life scattered around.
On a dark background.
Every life radiates pure and bright light.
From time to time they burst into flame-like colors.
But it often fades quickly.
With Xuan's help.
Roger was able to overlook every corner of the fallen battlefield——
…
He saw a giant monster as big as a mountain hidden in the thick fog.
Prepare a sneak attack on an army armed to the teeth;
…
He saw top masters fighting each other.
The space around them was slightly distorted as the two sides fought.
Roger was sure that they had used the power of authority and law.
This shows that they are at least senior immortals.
And such existence.
They are everywhere in the fallen battlefield;
…
He also saw countless demons and devils fighting frantically in a place similar to the Bloody Battle Plains.
They seemed to know no fear.
I don't know what tiredness is.
Roger watched that war for a long, long time.
But until his eyes began to feel sore.
Nor did they see the end of the war;
…
Rivers of blood!
No.
This is clearly a killing paradise watered by blood and death!
In the midst of a storm of killing.
There are vortex creatures.
There are also normal creatures from other places on the nine planets.
There are also an astonishing number of demons and devils!
…
"Do you understand now?
The meaning of the fallen battlefield..."
Accompanied by Xuan's voice.
Roger's eyes penetrated everything.
He saw a white energy gradually floating above the battlefield.
The white energy emanated from the tiny bits of life.
Every battle they had.
There will be more white energy floating out.
These white energies turned into balls of flames in the void.
The flames continued to rise upward.
final.
Roger saw a huge whirlpool!
…
"The bloody battles between demons and devils...the death battles between vortex creatures and ordinary creatures...and all kinds of strange and meaningless battles...is the purpose of all this to collect that kind of energy?"
Before you know it.
Roger's voice was already a little dry.
Even though he killed countless people.
But after learning the truth about the sinking battlefield.
He still felt a chill down his spine.
Xuan's handsome facial curves also seemed to become enchanting.
…
"It's all for the cosmic vortex..."
Xuan said calmly:
"Before the next great balance comes, the cosmic vortex cannot stop spinning, otherwise collapse will be our only way back..."
Roger was silent.
He didn't know what to say.
"So, Qu Feng, Hei Hu and the others..."
“They were also used by me.
to date.
They still thought they were fighting for the nine planets...
Actually, that’s true.
It's just that their real enemies are not each other.
It’s the destroyed universe and that abominable man from the future…”
Xuan said frankly.
"It's a bit cruel..."
Roger whispered.
…
"You don't have to be so euphemistic. This is obviously a very cruel thing to do, and it is very immoral..."
…
“Everyone in the Fallen Battlefield has been deceived by me!
The vortex creatures thought that the purpose of the battle was to invade the nine planets, while other creatures thought that the purpose of the battle was to defend their homes. The bloody battle between the devils and demons was also regarded by me as an energy extractor.
To boost their desire to fight.
Occasionally I would play some tricks.
Or simply release some substances that can stimulate them to fight wildly...
Actually, I just want the fire on them!
These creatures——
Their fight actually makes sense.
It is precisely because of their endless fighting that countless sublimated flames were born. These flames agitated the cosmic vortex, making it continue to rotate..."
…
Xuan blinked:
"Sometimes I would feel really bad, so I would go out and fight with them. Unfortunately, even in the battlefield, there weren't many people who could fight with me..."
Roger rubbed his temple:
"Is there no other way?"
"No!"
Xuan's tone was firm:
"The collapse of the universe cannot be changed by human will. The reason why I was able to create the Fallen Battlefield is because I received some gifts from the Star Shepherd."
Roger asked again:
"Then why can fighting promote the rotation of the cosmic vortex?"
"Partly, it's because of the release of spiritual energy. Fighting is the best way for high-powered beings to release spiritual energy. On the other hand, it's an extension of chaos. Fighting is the practice of the law of chaos, and the inertia of the rotation of the cosmic vortex is the trend of chaos. Conversely, the trend of chaos can also maintain the rotation of the cosmic vortex to a certain extent..."
Xuan continued to explain:
"I told you before that the doomsday phenomena in various places on the nine planets are caused by the stalling of the cosmic vortex. The root cause is the self-rescue mechanism of the universe.
When the cosmic vortex began to stall, some inherent mechanisms within the source of the universe began to take effect. They began to release doomsday signals, thus creating chaos!
For mortals, this is indeed the end of the world;
But for the universe, this is precisely a manifestation of its efforts to save itself!
If the origin of the universe had not been tampered with.
The chaotic tendencies unleashed by the doomsday mechanism do ensure that the cosmic vortex continues to run.
Maybe in hundreds or even thousands of years.
The universe will return to normal.
And on the planet after the doomsday.
A new round of civilization evolution will begin anew..."
…
"But it's no longer possible now! The self-rescue mechanism of the universe's source embryo has also been tampered with by people from the future. I can't just watch the universe collapse, so..."
Speaking of this.
Xuan let out a long sigh.
Seems a little tired.
Roger looked serious.
He was digesting the information given by Xuan as quickly as possible.
From the current perspective.
There is nothing wrong with Xuan's statement.
There was a lot of knowledge that Roger was not aware of.
But after Xuan pointed it out.
He will have a feeling of sudden enlightenment.
This is what authority does.
Information like this that is close to the law.
Roger could have understood it slowly through the authority of the star lord.
But as long as someone else tells him in advance.
He can understand and recognize knowledge in an instant.
Roger understood.
This kind of rule-based information is almost impossible to falsify.
Unless Xuan is already so advanced that he can arbitrarily change the laws of the universe.
But it really came to that situation.
There was no need for Him to deceive Himself.
…
"So, this is the plan of the heavens?"
Roger said, pointing at the Fallen Battlefield.
"No, this is my own plan..."
Xuan sneered disdainfully:
…
"Those people in the heavens were already scared out of their wits. A group of them signed a summoning contract with a powerful life form in the neighboring universe more than a dozen epochs ago. They descended into the neighboring universe as summoned creatures. I'm not sure about the subsequent results, but I don't think they would be good, otherwise they would have informed me long ago..."
…
"Some of the remaining people were swallowed by the distorted matter, and some were lost in the long river. There are only two or three people who still have the ability and willingness to act..."
…
Roger pondered:
"What about Oh?"
"That delusional guy has been completely brainwashed by Pandora. Although I admit that Pandora is a very wise woman, her method of saving the universe is not reliable at all!"
Speaking of this.
Xuan said with some annoyance:
…
“I don’t know where Ao is now, but I know He must be on one of the nine planets. The last time we met, I discovered that He was very ill!
Although He also mastered the vortex matter.
But if he doesn't transform himself into a vortex template, the distorted matter might corrode his heart!
I should have stopped him if I had known.
well!"
…
He looked worried.
"How does Pandora plan to save the universe?"
Roger's heart moved.
"You must have heard of the Aetherial Curse, which is an attempt to turn this universe into a game.
Once successful.
You can repair the universe source embryo as easily as repairing the God Game.
According to Pandora's theory.
Just change it back after the repair is complete.
This is indeed a genius idea -
But how can things be so simple? "
Xuan began to complain:
"The Aetherial Curse failed halfway through, and the reason is very simple. If you want to seal reality into a small game, you must have the status of a sovereign, or become a transcendent!
But you are already a transcendent, so isn’t it easy to just cultivate a cosmic source embryo?
After that, Pandora paid the price for her recklessness, and Aodu was seriously injured. I haven't seen them for a long time, and I hope I will never see them again... "
I have been chatting with Xuan for so long.
Roger gradually caught up with his train of thought:
"You mean, they could become your enemies?"
"It's possible."
Xuan shook his head:
…
“In the long river of history.
Even the gods can be blinded by dust.
I've been through too many of these incidents.
We used to be very good partners.
After a long period of loss of contact.
When it reappears, it will often be standing in front of you as an enemy.
I don't want to face Oh!
He is too powerful, he is evenly matched with me.
What's more, He always has a Pandora by His side!
She is a very smart goddess, probably one tenth as smart as me!
Compared to Him, Mystra is like a little girl in kindergarten..."
…
Roger laughed dryly.
It is not convenient to comment on this aspect.
He looked at the cosmic vortex before him.
Suddenly he asked again:
"There must be an end to all this, right?"
"Remember what I told you, in the thirteenth generation, there will be earth-shaking changes!"
Xuan looked at Roger:
"For a long time, ether and air have never been able to maintain an absolute balance. As one increases while the other decreases, the cosmic vortex can only produce more and more distorted matter. But in the near future, our universe will usher in an unprecedented period of great balance! That time will be the best opportunity!"
Roger understood instantly:
"Extradimensional matter?"
"Yes, during that period, the source of the universe will drain its own potential and emit a large amount of super-dimensional matter. This is the universe's last self-rescue instinct and our only chance! These super-dimensional matter have a chance to pile up a transcendent, and my plan is to make you this transcendent!"
Xuan whispered:
"So before the Great Balance comes, you must become a god, a strong god is even better!"
Roger thought about it.
Suddenly, he asked for no apparent reason:
"Is there anything above the powerful God?"
This time it was Xuan's turn to be stunned.
"You kid, it's not possible... I don't know!
Apart from the transcendent ones, no one seems stronger than the powerful gods!
But the transcendents are creatures of a higher dimension.
Not on the same scale as us.
There is no need to compete with each other.”
Xuan smiled and said:
“You can’t be promoted to a position stronger than a powerful god without being a transcendent, right?”
"No, no... I'm just asking..."
Roger smiled awkwardly.
"I wish you could!"
Xuan suddenly said seriously:
"You may face even tougher challenges next. Our opponents are very strong, so of course the stronger you are, the better!"
"Besides the people from the future, who else do we have as opponents?"
"The future person may not show up..."
Xuan said coldly:
…
“In fact.
Our struggle with Him is always with His agents.
The arrival of the great balance period.
He will certainly raise up more agents to restrain us.
There are still many powerful individuals among the nine planets——
They may be corrupted gods.
It could also be a giant crocodile lurking in history.
Even greedy life from other universes!
They will stop at nothing to grab extra-dimensional matter.
All this is bound to lead to a greater disaster.
For the existing inhabitants of your planet.
This is a tough test.”
…
"I see……"
Hear this.
Roger has basically decided to join forces with Xuan.
Although His behavior in the battlefield of perdition was very inhumane.
But it is not difficult to understand if we think about the problem from a higher dimension.
If the universe collapsed.
These powerful men naturally disappeared into thin air.
Solving the root cause of all this is the most important thing!
"I'm leaving soon. I must be more fully prepared for the arrival of the Great Balance. The creatures on the binary stars are almost the last batch of fire on the nine planets. They are also our last hope for victory. Please protect them for us..."
Speaking of.
Xuan pushed an invisible authority in front of Roger.
Roger took it subconsciously.
…
"Hint: You have obtained the authority of the God level (Guardian)"
…
"Although you are not a native of this universe, I have seen many excellent qualities in you. You are a very good guardian. I no longer have any use for this authority, so I will give it to you first..."
Xuan smiled slightly:
"If you need anything else, feel free to ask me. The next time we meet, I'm afraid it will be time for us to join forces to fight the enemy..."
Roger didn't refuse.
He immediately accepted the authority.
He didn't think much about it:
"Give me a copy of your amulet..."
"What do you want this for? Oh, you got the Nanming Lihuo Sword? But you only tried it twice... I see, did you reload the game?"
Xuan reacted quickly.
"You know this specialty?"
Roger was a little surprised.
"Of course! The parameters of expertise in the universe are fixed, including the total amount and distribution. If you can understand the expertise library of this universe, then you can naturally search for it...
But you still amaze me, this specialty is unique in this universe!"
Xuan said enviously:
"If only I had your expertise when I was playing the God Game before, those idiots in the tribe would definitely not be my match..."
There was a hint of reminiscence in her eyes.
"That seems to have happened a long, long time ago..."
then.
She pulled out a talisman and handed it to Roger.
Then he walked back into the painting.
The whole painting began to self-immolate.
A moment later.
Only smoke and embers remain.
…
