To be honest, although Hao Ren is now well-informed, before hearing the truth told by Constance, he would never have imagined that the true history of Lahirien would be like this.
This is a world that has been destroyed many times. The apocalypse it has experienced is far from the only two that Hao Ren originally guessed, namely the one caused by the Crazy Lord and the one caused by the fall of the Goddess of Creation.
The second doomsday. In fact, compared with the things it has experienced, the shock wave that was released when the goddess of creation fell and split the planet into two was nothing at all.
From the first era, the ancestral civilization that was so powerful that it could almost reverse the laws of the universe was destroyed by the Lord of Madness, the entire world was reduced to pieces, and the entire civilization was destroyed. Now, there is only one incomplete planet left in the entire world.
The warriors have degenerated to the point where they can only fight with swords and spears, and what separates them is not just the long river of time.
Every collapse of the universe means the complete shattering and reorganization of the timeline, and everything is shuffled and reorganized as if it were formatted, and the inheritors are equivalent to the "stubborn files" that fail to be deleted every time they are formatted. They are here
Something has been forcibly continued in the reincarnations of annihilation again and again. To this day, they no longer even know what they are continuing.
Hao Ren now finally knows what the Gorgon Empire, the Tumen Empire, and the Khersona, these "countries" that seem to be so different from each other, are. They are all the Lahirian civilization, which is constantly reincarnating in annihilation.
Civilizations have different names in different world lines.
Looking into Constance's eyes, Hao Ren said slowly: "The first question I want to know...I mean Annihilation, is it also weakening at the same time?"
Constance was stunned for a moment after hearing this question, and then showed a look of understanding: "Indeed, this is the point. As the world continues to be destroyed and reshaped, it seems that not only the 'origin' of the ordered world is being lost,
, the power of annihilation is also constantly weakening. At first it could completely wipe out the entire universe, but after a few epochs, it could only wreak havoc within the scope of the Milky Way, and today... its power has even
Too weak to kill an old man like Archduke Owen on the spot."
Grand Duke Owen, who was lying on the bed, immediately shouted angrily: "Your Highness, I am getting a little old, but I haven't become a weakling yet, right?"
It seemed that after resting for a while, his energy and energy recovered a little.
After hearing Constance's words, Hao Ren didn't say anything more, but silently memorized the important clue that the power of "annihilation" would weaken simultaneously with the reincarnation of the universe, and had never been able to completely destroy Lahirien.
Then he asked his second question: "Does anyone know what causes the world to be constantly reincarnated?"
"How could anyone know?" Constance looked at Hao Ren with a slightly strange look. "The world is destroyed and then reborn. This is almost the truth of this world. The most ancient ancestors have not been able to understand the true meaning of the universe. What has been passed down to this day is
It’s even more impossible for humans. After all, the level of civilization is constantly declining.”
"Is that so..." Vivian also broke the silence next to her, "Does anyone know the specific situation of the first generation ancestors? For example, what is the name of their civilization, what level of their technology has reached, and... in
When the end came, what did they do at the last moment?"
Constance shook her head: "No one knows. The older the memory, the more serious the loss. Even the most powerful inheritor of the soul cannot resist this law. Even my father only knows six
It’s just a rough history seven epochs ago, and as for the oldest first-generation ancestors and the universe in the first epoch... To be honest, it’s almost a myth. We only have vague concepts and some pieced together
It’s just a record. So I’m afraid everything I just said is not the complete truth. The real history has long been submerged in reincarnation, and no one knows it anymore.”
As she said that, she finally couldn't restrain her doubts: "Are you really the inheritors? These questions you asked... should not come from the mouth of the inheritors."
"Probably because we inherit more technology and knowledge," Hao Ren said casually, "When it comes to some black technologies, our World Tree Temple still has some, but when it comes to historical data during the change of eras...
It’s really a bit embarrassing.”
"Does this happen among the inheritors?" Constance frowned slightly, "The world has reincarnated too many times, and the inheritors seem to have gradually reached their limit... More and more abnormal situations are constantly appearing.
But fortunately you at least brought knowledge."
At this time, Leah asked curiously: "So according to you, His Majesty Berrentine is also the inheritor? And the war you are conducting... is to complete the change of the era?"
Constance showed a serious expression: "Yes, and from the day I became conscious, I knew this day was coming."
Perhaps influenced by Constance's decisive aura, the room fell silent for a while. Charlemagne and Evana needed time to slowly understand and accept these incredible facts, but Hao Ren was thinking about something more profound.
matter.
For example, he believes that the real reason for the phenomenon of "annihilation reincarnation" in this world is not the handiwork of the Crazy Lord. The reason is very simple. The Crazy Lord has no thinking ability and cannot do this kind of fine work of cutting leeks.
operational.
At this moment, Constance stretched out her hand and grasped the platinum scepter floating in the air.
The platinum scepter made a slight buzzing sound, which woke Hao Ren up from his thoughts, and his attention was once again attracted to the scepter.
Before Constance took the scepter away, he quickly asked: "Wait a minute, I have another question. What is this platinum scepter used for?"
"The scepter of domination is the key to the change of eras," Constance said very patiently, "When the battle for the change of epochs reaches the final stage, all order in the entire world will basically collapse, but only under the influence of the platinum scepter.
Within the scope, order will survive and the place protected by the scepter will be the battlefield of the final battle. The fate of the world will come to an end under the light of the scepter, and a new era will also be opened with the scepter as the center."
Hao Ren's eyes lit up slightly: "In other words, this scepter is something that has never changed in the process of annihilation and reincarnation again and again? Is it an ancient artifact that existed in the first era?"
Constance hesitated for a moment: "...I dare not say so definitely, but it has indeed existed for many epochs."
Hao Ren stretched out his hand: "Can you let us take a look? Don't worry, it's just a look. We are very interested in this kind of ancient relic."
Constance didn't think much and handed the platinum scepter to Hao Ren's hand.
Hao Ren took the scepter and carefully examined the patterns and carvings on its surface. At the same time, the data terminal flew to the scepter and scanned it completely from top to bottom.
"Lea, come and take a look." After confirming that the data terminal had completed scanning and creating files, Hao Ren handed the scepter to Leah next to him.
The little goddess of creation took the long staff that was almost twice as tall as herself. She looked at it carefully and nodded repeatedly. She didn't know if she really saw any clues. Anyway, she had studied it for ten years.
It took a few minutes to return the scepter to Constance.
"Do you see anything?" Constance asked with a smile in her eyes.
"The pattern is nice, it looks pretty gorgeous," Hao Ren spread his hands, "Just like what I said, in terms of our historical inheritance... it's really a bit hard to bear to look at. I don't see any secrets in it at all."
As he said this, he was communicating quickly with the data terminal in his mind: "How is it? Did you find anything?"
"It is indeed possible that the scepter has experienced the change of epochs. Apart from a layer of coating on the surface, the materials used inside the scepter are not at all made by the Lahirien people of this era. Even galactic-level civilizations like Gorgon can make them.
No. After a superficial analysis on this machine, the strength of the material of the main body of the scepter is already comparable to that of the main material of the Creation Engine."
"Then it really could be from the First Age...what else?"
"In addition, an extremely sophisticated data storage structure was found in the scepter. Although it cannot be cracked for the time being, this machine has extracted it through information snapshots and has now uploaded it to Nolan. She should be able to handle it. In addition, Liana
Bian should also extract a copy of the scepter's data, and ask her to pass the data to Nolan later. Comparing the two samples with each other should improve the cracking efficiency."
The communication between Hao Ren and the data terminal was carried out at the conscious level, and the exchange of information was completed in an instant. At this time, Constance had just put away the platinum scepter. She looked at Charlemagne and Ivan who were still a little stunned.
Brother and sister Na shook their heads imperceptibly: "It seems it will take some time for you to adapt. Go back to your room and rest. Come to me after you have sorted out your thoughts. I hope you can find yourself in the change of eras by then.
s position."
Charlemagne immediately said: "No, we can..."
"There is no point in trying to be strong. This is the turn of the era, not a small war between a few countries." Constant interrupted the prince of Ys who was extremely talented but obviously lacked experience without any courtesy, and then his tone softened slightly.
, "I don't mean to deny you. You have gone through so many twists and turns to deliver the scepter to me. This has laid a foundation for the change of the era, but you really need to reorganize your thoughts. This era is about to end.
, the end of the world is not in the distant prophecies, but is right before our eyes. At this time, we should leave more time for ourselves to think quietly."
Evana blinked: "Because soon we will find that immersing ourselves in quiet thinking will be the last luxury in this world, right?"
"You are very smart," Constance glanced at Evana, her eyebrows raised, but there was no hint of contempt in her tone, "Wisdom is precious, cherish it."
Charlemagne and his sister left.
Only Hao Ren and his party, as well as Archduke Owen and Princess Constance were left in the room.
Grand Duke Owen, who had been silent since just now, suddenly broke his silence: "Your Highness, Princess, I have a request."
