With Erwinde chasing after him into the sycamore tree, Fisher no longer hesitated. He looked at the deep space below, thought for a second or two, and then took out the fluid sword in his arms. When Emhard saw
She immediately retracted into his arms in tacit understanding, and fell downwards with him.
Every time he descended a certain distance, Fisher used the fluid sword to grab or pierce the wall to slow down. As he descended towards the roots of the sycamore tree, he asked the Moon Princess behind him,
"How many levels of life are there on that incomplete base now?"
"It's a bit taller than my mother, and it's also a mythical creature. Although it has no sanity and basically only uses brute force, it's not something you can deal with now. I feel that the guy approaching here is stronger than you.
Are some of them your friends? If you two join forces, you probably have some chance of winning."
"No, we are enemies who want to kill each other, and he, like you thousands of years ago, also wants to use the spiritual world to enter the mythical realm."
"Oh, it's not fun to repeat the same mistakes. How about you go discuss it with him and see if you can make peace temporarily? What do you think?"
""
Fisher didn't speak any more, he just landed quietly, not knowing what he was thinking about.
This huge and extremely wide space leads all the way down to the unknown abyss. Although it is surrounded by deathly silence and darkness at this time, it is not difficult to imagine that this place must have been very lively when the Phoenixes were still there.
They once spread their wings and traveled through the space here, going to different locations in the sycamore tree. The phoenixes were talking, and the sound of their wings flapping should be heard at the same time.
The further down Fisher landed, the brighter his surroundings became, because the originally exquisite buildings around him were gradually covered by thin layers of growing ice.
The Zhenbing, which exudes a dense brilliance below, is like a Wanhua mirror, spirally twisting and pointing towards a pentagonal snowflake-shaped platform at the bottom. There seem to be many shimmering instruments on the platform, and below the platform, there is a large
Large piece of extremely thick ice
With Fisher's excellent eyesight, he looked down through the ice under the platform. He seemed to see an unclear but extremely huge shadow in it. At the same time, Princess Moon also spoke,
"That's the root of the giant tree. Its energy is almost endless. Using the instruments we built above, we can control the mechanisms in the sycamore tree and the surrounding space."
Fisher slowly brought Valentina to land on the snowflake platform. The fluorescence of the surrounding ice gradually spread on the ground, illuminating the scene on the platform.
At this moment, a little glimmer of light floated up in Valentina's eyes like fireflies, flying towards the corner of the instrument.
Fisher and Valentina both followed the fireflies with their eyes, and saw a rather tall crystal skeleton sitting in that direction, on the edge of the platform.
The corpse was about two meters tall and was dressed in a beautiful silk satin that was almost completely weathered. Fisher had never seen the style or workmanship before. She tilted her head slightly, revealing a pair of wings on her back that had been scattered into a skeleton.
.
These obvious characteristics all indicate that the person in front of me who has been dead for an unknown period of time is the noble bloodline and Phoenix species that has disappeared from the world for a long time.
The corpse sat quietly on the edge of the instrument, its hands that had long since turned into bones gracefully holding a ball that shone with dull light.
The ball was a sacred object made by an angel. The fluorescent light flying out of Valentina's eyes swayed and landed in the center of the ball. I don't know if it was an illusion. After the fireflies flew back, the round ball
The light on the ball was much dimmed.
"Is this the body of Princess Yue and the skeleton of the phoenix?"
Emhard also wanted to get closer and guess what the real phoenix looked like through the corpse with only a skeleton left, but just as he was about to fly over, another rather gentle and strange female voice came from the ball,
"Mr. Fisher, I don't have much time. Please turn on the locking switch of the instrument. The valve on the left is the locking device, and the right is the space instrument. The light spot in the middle represents the sycamore, and the circles around it are
You can control the spatial turbulence by twisting the button to the left and letting the circle completely wrap around the sycamore."
Fisher placed Valentina behind him. She was not used to it because no one was competing with her for the microphone. Fisher squatted on the ground and looked at the instruments above, but he
Instead of immediately starting to twist the instrument, he asked,
"Can these be controlled without the blood of Phoenix?"
"Yes, of course the simpler the things you have at home, the better."
""
Fisher was silent for a moment, then suddenly turned to look at the body of Princess Moon next to the instrument, and asked,
"Princess Yue, I have a little doubt that I would like you to answer."
"You know clearly that what the incomplete base wants is your last bloodline. If you saw the future before you died, you should know that your last bloodline was inherited by a fragile human being. Let Valenti
It would be a great risk for Na to enter the sycamore tree to perfect the base and allow the terrifying existence in the spiritual world to come, but you still left a will for her to come back. What did you see in the prophecy that made you so confident?
I feel it’s okay to have her come back.”
"Furthermore, you said that the Phoenix can only see the future when it is accidentally stimulated. Then I have two questions to ask you. Didn't you see the prophecy when you were stillborn? Even after this
After thousands of years, you still miss that child. You must have been greatly stimulated at that time. It is absolutely impossible that the birth was not predicted, but you kept silent about it."
"Two, the unconscious curse once spoke when it was hunting down the other six tribes at the foot of the mountain. It kept shouting 'traitor'. At first, I thought it was the six tribes that betrayed the Phoenix. Now I know that it is hunting you, so what can I do?
It cannot be inferred that the traitor it is shouting is actually you?"
Fisher turned his head. The Moon Princess's body was already lifeless. Only the small ball in her hand was shining with light. It was not until several seconds later that the Moon Princess's gentle voice came again.
"Smart kid, you think quickly. It's only now that I feel that you have some similarities with that obscure guy. However, there is no need to doubt my intentions with such conspiracy theories. If the predictions of the Phoenix are true,
What the weaker phoenixes see is a picture, just like what has happened before, and the picture stored in your memory is the past and ending that cannot be changed."
"But it's different for us who are more powerful. What we see is not a picture, but a feeling. That is the direction of [fate]. It is the thin threads entangled in someone or something that are blown away by the breeze of fate.
The opportunity for change that blows and trembles. In our eyes, all difficulties are like a knot of tangled threads. The more difficult the knot is to untie, the more panic it will cause."
"The mythical war that my brother saw was an extremely complicated knot of fate that was almost impossible to untie. That's why our whole family went out of our way to seek help from the spirit world, but we didn't expect that this would be our destruction.
The reason is part of the knot. And I did see another, more distant prophecy when I gave birth to an heir. What was before me was a "dead knot" beyond the imagination of any living being, even if it caused the death of our entire family.
The knot of destruction is but a tiny part of this knot of death.”
"If the knot of our clan is untied, then there will be no way out for the next knot. But even if we give up the lives of the entire Phoenix family, it is still unclear whether the knot will be untied. If it were you
, how should you choose?”
Fisher's eyes swayed slightly, and the [Prophecy of Destruction] written as a joke at the beginning suddenly appeared in his mind. He seemed to have read the subtext in Princess Moon's words, and said,
"You couldn't make up your mind, so you told your mother, the Phoenix King, about this prophecy in private. She made a decision for you and chose the latter, right? You and your mother gave up your race and chose
It provides hope for untying the knot in the future, which is why, even though the god-like pollution swallowed up your entire clan in an instant, you and your mother seemed to be calm in the face of danger, able to seal the base with ice and close the sycamore tree in the midst of the crisis.
Tree, it turned out that I was already prepared."
"But maybe my vision as a human being is too narrow. I can't see the connection between these two things. And maybe you gave up communicating with the spirit world at that time and didn't let the God of the Sky come to use the power of your entire clan.
If the physical body forms a base, will it be more useful for the knots that follow?"
The beads in Princess Yue's arms became dimmer little by little, and her gentle voice became smaller and smaller.
"Children, races that can see destiny will look at the world in a completely different way. Any real connection is just the appearance of destiny. Our level is too low to explore the real connection. Just knowing the result is enough. You should
I came here long after my death, so I want to ask you, in the history of your life, apart from the original wars between the mythical species, were there also invasions by the chaotic species? Can you still feel the existence of the spiritual world?
What about threats to the world?”
""
Fisher pondered for a moment without responding. To be honest, it was only after he came to the North that he realized that he was still facing frightening threats in the spiritual world. Before that, the reality including the invasion of chaos species only existed.
Only in myths and legends.
From this point of view, the sacrifice of the phoenixes did for some reason ease the oppression of the strange existence on the spiritual world and reality. At least since his birth, he did not feel the desperate situation that phoenix faced at that time.
"If you can believe in gods, then they should have appeared long ago when countless creatures were oppressed by tyrants. Direct interference by gods in the world would have serious consequences, let alone the spiritual world that they cannot touch. There may be many mythical species
At least they can feel the fluctuations of the threads of fate, but they will not make the same choices as us. If you want to blame it, you can only blame fate, which gave this ability to Phoenix, who has tasted the suffering of the common people."
"But it's not completely without reward, right? It's the same for us and all the creatures in the north."
"During the Mythical War, the Mythical Species were well aware of our efforts and did not spread the war to the North. Many northern races have continued to multiply to this day. They survived the Mythic War safely; there was even an escape of a flourishing pedestal spirit body.
It escaped from the unblocked sycamore tree and fled toward the ocean, trying to snatch back the last of my bloodline, but a powerful being from the ocean even drove it back to the sycamore tree."
"As far as we are concerned, although our entire clan has perished, our figures and stories still live in the north. The people we have sheltered sing our praises, and our drinking and reveling companions have still abided by my only law for thousands of years.
With one sentence of password, maybe this ending is the best for us Phoenix species."
"Although our entire family has tried our best to cross the mythical level like a chasm, we have unexpectedly become the gods believed by the people in the north. This is something that countless mythological species and even true gods that are far more powerful than us can hardly do.
"
Fisher turned to look at Valentina next to him. The reason he asked the Moon Princess so provocatively was not to doubt her purpose at all. After all, it had been so long, and he wanted to question the meaning of a dead person again.
It doesn't make any sense.
He was only concerned about how to save Valentina who was about to die. Her human body could not always bear the blood of the phoenix. Even if she did not come to the sycamore tree, she would die outside. However, the Moon Princess explained a lot and failed.
The solution gave Fisher a headache, but he seemed to understand the meaning of Princess Moon's words, so he asked again,
"So, asking Valentina to come back with you also has something to do with the knot of fate you saw? Can this help her solve the bloodline problem?"
"I don't know either, what do you think?"
""
Fisher, who didn't get an answer, sighed and closed his eyes. He pressed one hand on the console and controlled the space turbulence according to the Moon Princess's instructions to completely lock the Wutong, and all the mechanisms inside it
But they were all opened. At this moment, the completely sealed Wutong turned into the final battlefield between him, Erwind and the base.
"Empty empty empty!"
Along with the mechanical sound coming from the sycamore tree, Fisher stared at the twinkling light of Zhenbing below. He asked in a low voice, but he didn't know whether he was asking the Moon Princess or himself.
"You have tried your best to provide everything you can, but after all, the knot that has not yet come is not to be solved by your own hands. You have dedicated so much and waited for thousands of years, but if from now on to the future, once the future
If one of you makes a mistake and makes a mistake, you will all lose."
Princess Yue smiled "haha", but it was obvious that the energy of the relics she retained had become less and less, and her voice became increasingly unclear. She just said,
"Both my mother and I are well aware of this truth, but after all, fate is difficult to predict. A gentleman should see the opportunity, and an expert should know the destiny. Now that you have made a choice, you should not leave room for regrets. The next thing is left to you.
"
Princess Yue's gentle voice stopped suddenly, and the small ball held by the corpse's hands suddenly shattered with her last words and turned into a pile of temperatureless debris.
On the other hand, Valentina next to her secretly squeezed her palms after hearing the last words spoken by Princess Moon. She looked at Fisher who was thinking with his head down next to her, smiled, pulled his sleeves, and said,
"It's okay, Fisher, don't think about this now. You have to deal with the base left by the Phoenix and the enemy chasing you first, right?"
Seeing that Fisher didn't move and seemed to be still thinking, she pulled his big hand to her cheek while sitting on the ground. Feeling the touch and temperature of her skin, Fisher couldn't help but turn his head and look.
She and Valentina also sat on the ground and raised their heads and smiled at him, raising the magic ring on their hands.
"It doesn't matter, the ring you gave me will always protect me, Fisher."
"You're going to be okay, Valentina."
Looking at Valentina who was still optimistic in front of him, Fisher let out a sigh of relief and put her on his back again. He looked up at the top of the sycamore tree, and saw the moonlight at the top.
It seemed that the space on the outside of the glass was completely distorted, and even the aurora could no longer be seen clearly. But at the same time, the originally tightly locked doors in the sycamore tree were loosened one by one, and Fisher immediately felt that there was something in the middle of the sycamore tree.
Behind a door, there is an extremely terrifying soul fluctuation.
And at the door, from the direction they came from just now, the Erwind who was chasing him also entered.
As Fisher had guessed before, Erwind went straight towards the base.
