Ten minutes ago.

Nori, the Imperial City Hall.

I don’t know how long it took, but the dizzy feeling slowly faded, and the consciousness returned to my body, just like jumping off the cliff with my eyes closed, falling freely for a long time before I re-entered the arms of Mother Earth.

As his consciousness gradually became clear, Chi Xiaoli slowly opened his eyes and his mental power had already spread around him.

"This is... the Imperial City?"

After a moment of dissipation, Chi Xiaoli completely came to his senses and finally realized that he had returned to reality. He suddenly stood up from the ground and almost subconsciously entered a state of war.

Two seconds later, Chi Xiaoli smiled bitterly on his face, pressed his eyebrows slightly, and sat down on the cushion again.

"I'm back now."

The experiences over the long river of time are still vivid in my mind, as if they happened half a minute ago, so Chi Xiaoli made an instinctive stress response.

"It seems like it's no difference to return to your body..."

After confirming that there was no abnormality around him, Chi Xiaoli began to look inside his physical condition. After all, from the long river of time to the return to reality, the passage of time in the real world is not completely still, and something might happen during this period.

Fortunately, the worst expectation did not happen. Odin should still be on the way to track down Merlin's body, at least there is no trace of returning yet.

In good condition, Chi Xiaoli moved his arms and legs again, confirming any problems, and couldn't help but murmur: "It's obvious that it's only a moment, but it seems that a lifetime has passed... Is this the strange thing about the long river of time?"

The palace was still brightly lit. Through the consumption traces of the flame crystal stone, Chi Xiaoli quickly judged that he had gone back to the long river of time. It only took ten minutes for the real time line.

In other words, the evacuation of the entire Nori City was only one more time to pray for the time being. Now it has almost been completed. Tantantuchi and Morey should be waiting silently in the remote suburbs outside the city.

In such a huge imperial city, or even the entire Nori City, perhaps he is the only living person at the moment.

"Okay... at least I have time to sort out the many questions I encountered in the long river of time and those clues."

Chi Xiaoli quickly calmed down and confirmed that the magic circle left before leaving had no signs of being destroyed. He snapped his fingers gently, and a shadow that was exactly the same as him appeared behind him.

"Go to the outside city to make arrangements."

"Shadow" nodded and flew away from the palace quickly. The lights swayed for a moment, looking lonely and pale, as if there was always only one person here.

"Old guy, are you there?"

Chi Xiaoli asked in his heart first, but unexpectedly received no response.

"It seems that after returning to reality, Pram also lost the ability to communicate with me... This is a bit inconvenient."

Chi Xiaoli sighed lightly, with a slight regret. He enjoyed the "meticulous" care of this giant king over the long river of time, just like a dog-headed military advisor giving advice next to you, so that you can avoid detours and make the most correct choice when necessary.

Unfortunately, Pram's state is still a mystery. Perhaps only in a special environment like the long river of time can he appear in a state of consciousness and spiritual body.

In this way, many questions cannot be asked about the other party, which may indeed cause some trouble and trouble, but may not be all bad things - at least without Pram's "eavesdropping", Chi Xiaoli can also think about some issues that are actually related to Pram.

"Why did you choose me?"

This is the question that Chi Xiaoli wants to know the most but has been looking for an answer. Perhaps no one can answer it except Pram.

Chi Xiaoli stared at the firelight not far away, and was stunned for a while, then turned his head and looked at the pool of gray marks not far away. He was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that the Emperor of the Eternal Emperor would end up like this... I don't know if you will have any regrets before you die?"

Chi Xiaoli hesitated for a moment, but in the end he still didn't explore it.

The deceased is the most important thing. After all, Merlin has helped him a big favor in the true sense. If he only wants to investigate the relationship between him and Pram, he will ask the body thoroughly. Not to mention whether he can really find anything, Chi Xiaoli himself will not be able to pass this level.

What's more, Merlin is only a thousand years later. Hanes's "material" resurrected through the necromantic magic. His body has long been different from Merlin in history. If there is really a problem, Hanes himself would not know nothing.

However, there is one thing Chi Xiaoli can be sure of - there must be an inseparable connection between Merlin and Plum, and after this long adventure of time, Chi Xiaoli has a vague answer in his heart.

Merlin may be a descendant of the "giant worshipper" of that time.

As a multi-type magician, Merlin can use almost all known magical attributes, and he is not a space magician, nor is he the "acquired type" of Odin who was strengthened by the five gods. The only explanation is that his bloodline is extremely special and is likely to be related to the ancient giants.

During the trip to Utopia, Odin of that era thought Chi Xiaoli was a member of the "giant worshipper". Chi Xiaoli was also very interested in this organization, but unfortunately he failed to meet their members in the end and could not get in touch with things about this secret organization.

Now Meilin has shown his talent as a suspected giant's legacy, and his idea of ​​using the power of "Sacrifice" and going back to the long river of time was also the first one he proposed, and all signs confirm this speculation.

It was obvious that they had just parted not long ago, but Chi Xiaoli suddenly felt a little sad. Looking at Mei Lin who was wrapped in a small box, he couldn't help feeling mixed feelings.

What exactly is this genius who is known as the "Great Magician" who has been pursuing throughout his life?

Is he an independent individual, or is he just a tool and puppet for Pram to return to reality?

If it were the former, Chi Xiaoli would be in a better mood. After all, a respected senior like this is a death without regrets to be able to live his life with ease.

But if it is the latter... then will he know the truth and understand his mission before he dies?

The ancients have passed away, and the answer has long been lost in time.

Chi Xiaoli curbed the urge to use the magic of time. If he was to touch his back to history and meet Pram, it was purely the latter's arrangement. Even if he used the power of time now, he would definitely not be able to find any trace.

Pram's wisdom is as terrifying as his strength, and even better. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Five Gods to be kept in the dark. He still does not know the truth about his still alive.

"In the long river of time, fighting with Pram is almost adapting to the fact that he coexists in my body. This is not a good sign..."

Remind yourself in your heart to not let the cordon disappear without realizing it. Pram may not be a friend. Maybe one day in the future, there will be irreconcilable conflicts in the positions of both sides.

Before this, Chi Xiaoli was still vaguely worried, without checks and balances or limiting the other party's bargaining chips, now he is a little relieved.

After all, there are even more terrifying monsters above the gods.

The secrets obtained from the external gods, and even the fact that seeing the external gods itself may become a way to fight Pram - of course, the premise is that Pram really has no ability to resist these secrets.

Chi Xiaoli always suspected that Pram's resistance to secrets and madness might be much higher than what he claimed to be, at least a little more powerful than Diyete, but he still couldn't reach his own level, otherwise he wouldn't have been so embarrassed and nervous at that time.

"The external god... I almost forgot this."

Chi Xiaoli slapped his head and stood up suddenly from the ground. A shadow instantly appeared in front of his eyes.

"You stay here, I'll go out and talk to Tantantuchi and the others."

Chi Xiaoli said to another "self": "This war... may have exceeded the upper limit they can bear, so it is better to escape as soon as possible."

...

Outside Nori.

“Evacuate?”

Tantantuchi glared at his eyes and pouted, "Your uncle, I came here from the other end of the mainland to resolve the crisis. As a result, before the battle was fought, you boy let me retreat. It would be too underestimated to the combat power of my Porush family-Kurz, Bach, tell Klozel and others to ask the brothers to retreat!"

Some praise just appeared in Stanlachi's eyes, and she felt that the head of the Porush family had changed his temperament and suddenly became so strong that his impression of him changed a lot. As a result, the next second, Tantantuchi shouted to the side.

Immediately afterwards, under the shocked gaze of Stanrachi and many guards, the soldiers in black all over, with only a golden Polush family emblem embroidered on their chests, began to withdraw from their positions without hesitation.

Morey frowned, stopping his eldest son who couldn't help but speak. He was silent for a while and said softly: "Get away."

Stanrachi widened his eyes and felt his father's strong will, then he waved his hand reluctantly. The swordsmen and magicians from the Western Continent also began to quickly evacuate backwards.

Tantantuchi leaned against the tree trunk, and his face smiled as usual, "Nephew, can you tell me what happened now?"

Stanrachi, Monica and Bosela also approached at the same time. If they wanted to hear what was going on, they needed to evacuate all of them from the origin.

Chi Xiaoli opened his mouth, but when he spoke to his mouth, he didn't know what to say.

He suddenly thought that he might not be able to tell Tantantuqi and the others the news that Odin might have been controlled by the external gods. As soon as the information about the external gods was, its existence itself was a secret. Chi Xiaoli had already become resistant and could not feel it himself, but Tantantuqi and the others were all "physical mortals". It is impossible to say that just a little clue would make them crazy.

If you master the standards well, it is the key.

Chi Xiaoli scratched his head and had to explain in a general way: "I don't want to explain the specific reason in detail. As long as you know that some changes may have occurred in Odin, it has become stronger than before, and it is no longer an enemy that you can participate in and deal with."

Bosera took a step forward and said unconvincedly: "What's so scary about a mere messenger, not a god who came? Let's take a step back, even if it's really a god coming, it's just a little earlier than expected, and it's considered to be within the scope of tolerance. Do you let us retreat without fighting?"

Stanlachi had a gloomy face, stood behind without saying a word, but the strong aura emitted from his body showed that he would not retreat with fear.

"Maybe the swordsmen and magicians in Babu Continent are cherishing their lives, but I, Erlang, are all brave and fearless people. If you are worried about casualties... there is no need. We would rather die standing than live on our knees."

Monica's voice was sonorous and powerful, and her beautiful face showed unshakable determination.

Looking at this face that looked similar to Lily but had many different places, Chi Xiaoli's eyes dazed for a moment, then came to his senses and looked at Tantantuqi.

"The eldest girl of Chen family is right. I cherish my life and I will listen to you."

Tantantuqi spread his hands, and he had no attitude of fighting to the end.

Chi Xiaoli nodded, then looked at Morey again, and was silent for a moment. Seeing that Morey still had not spoken, he slowly said: "Because you are Lily's relatives, I will say it again - staying behind will definitely die, and it is a more terrifying and unreasonable death than you think."

Speaking of this, if the three swordsmen of the Chen family insist on staying, Chi Xiaoli had no choice. After all, everything about the external gods is considered a part of the secret. Even if you mention a little more sentence here, it may lead to bad consequences.

Morey looked at Chi Xiaoli with a steady look, and his sharp gaze like a falcon locked on Chi Xiaoli's face for a moment before moving away from his gaze.

"You guys retreat, too."

"Father! For-"

"Um?"

Facing Morey's aggressive gaze, Monica forced the second half of the sentence back, glared at Chi Xiaoli with some anger, and then unwilling to disappear into the depths of the forest under the pull of Stanlachi and Bosaila.

The originally "lively" surroundings suddenly became empty.

Chi Xiaoli sensed silently for a while, and was sure that they had withdrawn far enough, before smiling at the only two people left beside him.

"Are you two going to stay and die?"

"I don't know what to do, I'll just watch and wait and see. I'll leave as soon as possible." Tantantuqi still had the smiley face of the hob, patting his stomach: "I still have a few scrolls of your space, don't worry, I will never cause any trouble."

Chi Xiaoli shook his head helplessly. Tantantuqi's personality was far more firm and stubborn than he seemed, and he was extremely curious and extremely brave. He was unexpectedly brave. There was almost nothing he dared to do. As for the danger he emphasized frequently, he arranged for others to retreat as soon as possible, but he stayed to find out.

If it were in the past, Chi Xiaoli would have acquiesced. After all, this fat man has various methods of saving his life, and it would take some effort to die.

But this time... the situation is completely different.

"You have thought about it. The next battle may involve something that ordinary people cannot bear. Even if you just take a peek, you may go crazy on the spot and there is no possibility of being awake."

Chi Xiaoli smiled and said, "Do you still persist?"

The two disappeared from the spot in an instant.
