Light and shadow continue to condense, and the huge power of myth condenses into a body completely constructed from the blood of myth, wisdom, power, and blood.
This body transcends the forms of ghosts and dead lords, and is the source of all wizard power.
Or.
The Witch Spirit is the reflection of this body, and the power of transforming virtuality and reality comes from this mythical body.
At this moment, Asai is in the form of a god.
He looks like a short, handsome young man.
Asai put his cane on the ground, and the huge shadow behind him kept twisting and squirming, and finally turned into a reflection that was consistent with his body.
"Buzz!"
The door of truth is also fully opened, and the path of wisdom belonging to Asai shines in the sky.
Spirituality, wisdom, desire, knowledge.
The leaves representing knowledge shine like stars in the sky, but the branches, trunks, and roots also have silver veins flowing through them.
A voice came from high up, echoing in the dream world.
"Two hundred and fifty million years."
Asai opened his eyes and looked into the depths of the dream world, which is the kingdom of the Creator and the God-given land that is the hometown of the Sanye people.
Asai's direct ancestor, King Lederiki, the King of Wisdom, was crowned king at the feet of the Creator.
That was the first intelligent being in the world, the first king in the world.
"Insai God!"
"At the other end of your time, does it turn out that years are measured in billions?"
This has completely exceeded the imagination of the Sanye people, and it has also exceeded the expectations of all beings who have embarked on the road to eternal life.
Two hundred and fifty million years ago, due to the disappearance of the mythical source, Vivian reincarnated with the giant island of Ruhe, and Xiao relied on Archeopteryx to follow countless species through the long evolutionary journey.
Asai, in the form of the Lord of Death, completed reincarnation again and again inside the door.
It has escaped the era when the power of myth gradually dried up and became weaker, and escaped the years when the blood of myth gradually faded.
Then at the moment when the Creator returned and the power shone again, he truly ascended to the position of demigod.
At the door of truth.
A large number of ghosts looked at Asai, the god of truth and knowledge who they had guarded for generations, and who remained with them even after death.
Asai also looked at Polik, his former follower and now the ghost apostle.
He wanted to say something, but it was too late for many things.
"Porick."
"Everything you have done has surpassed time. Even the river of time cannot erase your will."
"But."
Asai looked at Porick's stiff expression and posture, and after a long pause, he finally spoke.
"for this!"
"For an illusory wish and vow, let everyone give everything with you."
"Is it really worth it?"
Polik didn't speak, he just knelt and looked up at the young man in front of the Door of Truth.
In fact, there is no need to speak at this time, everything he has done has proven that he thinks it is worth it.
But Asai's words seemed to have touched the ancient memories in the ghost's body.
Porick's eyes changed, as if he had gone back to a long, long time ago.
At that time, both Asai and Polik were imprisoned in Anho City.
They all lost everything.
Not only did they lose their strength, they lost their relatives and friends, they also lost their ideals and future.
Asai was dragged out for execution, but he actually cut off the shackles of the villain in the bottle.
Asai gained the power of Anhoforth, and he returned to the prison to rescue Borrick.
In the dark night of that day.
Polik ran wildly along the street in the dark in ecstasy, thinking that he was lucky to escape.
But I saw a familiar figure at the end of the road.
In the shadows of the streets, he came driving the terrifying skeleton puppet, like the king of the night.
The puppet knelt on the ground and bent over.
The terrifying figure and aura emanated, and such powerful and incredible power made Porick's whole body become cold and filled with yearning.
This day countless years later.
At the door of truth.
Ghost Polik raised his head and said to the gods standing in front of the Gate of Myth what Asai said to him back then.
"After being imprisoned for so many years, is there anything else you want to do?"
"Or do you just want to survive?"
He spoke slowly, but his words were as powerful as Asai's before.
"If you still want to restore our past glory, just follow us."
"If you just want to live!"
"So."
"Let's say goodbye right here!"
Asai's eyes flickered, and he also remembered the scene that night.
He looked at Porick and slowly said what Porick had said back then.
"I'm willing to go with you."
"No matter what you do, even the craziest things."
"I'm willing to do both."
In front of the thick mythical door, the figures of the two people seemed to have returned to the past again.
They have nothing, they are all losers crawling out of the mud, and they have all had the wildest dreams.
Asai doesn't need to ask anymore.
They are fellow travelers, both in the past and now.
He turned around.
The sea of knowledge within the Gate of Truth set off huge waves, and a large amount of information was classified into books one after another.
The original temple of knowledge also expanded rapidly, and a city of knowledge appeared in the middle of the ocean.
Libraries were built one after another, and the densely packed bookshelves in the libraries were derived.
Countless books fell like rain.
Fall into the city of knowledge.
The originally chaotic sea of knowledge was also sorted out in an instant. It was no longer disorderly and turbulent, and the tide became regular and gentle.
Asai and Ghost Polik appeared on the sorted sea of knowledge and stood in the city of knowledge.
Asay told Polik: "I wrote to my mother, and the woodland fairy told me."
"My mother is not in the dreamy star sea."
Ghost Polik, or the Gate of Truth, is calculating rapidly, deducing the possibilities.
But Asai has already stated the possibility.
"There are only three possibilities."
"Either my mother fell into a nightmare and finally disappeared into the depths of the dreamy star sea.
"Either someone left her in the human world, using a ghost or a prop."
"Either someone took away my mother's dream of life from the Dream Star Sea."
Ghost Polik opened his mouth and gave three calculation possibilities.
"The first possibility is..."
Asai shook his head. He felt it was impossible. That was his intuition and certainty.
After all, humans and machines are different.
"My mother is an ordinary person. Although life is hard, she can always find happiness in the pain. She is an escapist."
"If she could dream, she would have the most ordinary dream, and she would never want to wake up from the dream."
At this point, Asai's voice paused.
"Just like...me."
After half a day, he continued.
Asai said in an extremely affirmative tone: "Her heart is bright, even if she lives in darkness."
"I'm sure she can't be in a nightmare."
A smile appeared on Asai's face: "Although her dream is nothing more than counting money and having endless food."
"Such a ridiculous...such an ordinary thing."
"But, at least it should be a sweet dream."
Immediately afterwards.
Asai mentioned the third possibility, which he felt was the most impossible thing.
"The Dream Star Sea is in the Kingdom of the Creator. I don't believe that anyone can take away my mother's dream in the Kingdom of the Creator and under His watchful eyes."
"This is absolutely impossible."
"So, my mother's life dream never entered the dreamy sea of stars from the beginning."
Asai looked at Polik: "Someone left my mother in the world."
The palm of his hand holding the cane tightened instantly: "She is just an ordinary person, there is no way she can survive."
"Only the two powers of ghost and props can force her to stay in the world."
Polik revealed the answer calculated by the Door of Truth: "Did the Man in the Bottle do it?"
"Or Xiao?"
"If it was done by the little man in the bottle, then only Xiao might know what the little man in the bottle did."
Asai walked towards the temple in the center of the City of Knowledge, his pace gradually speeding up.
"Whether it's made by the little man in the bottle, or it's made by Xiao."
"We must find Xiao first."
"He was the one who controlled everything behind the scenes. It was he who pushed the desire of the little man in the bottle to an unstoppable peak."
"He forced Vivien and the Temple of Truth to a desperate situation. He used the little man in the bottle to complete his goal of becoming a god. He used me to complete the reincarnation plan, and he also used me to kill the only bottle that controlled his lifeline of death.
Small and medium-sized people.”
"He knows everything that has happened, and he even pushed for the final outcome of the little man in the bottle."
"He treats everyone as a pawn, including himself."
"He split himself into four parts and pursued the path to becoming a god."
"Chasing an unknown answer and future."
Asai's eyes saw through everything, as early as the moment he received the stone tablet of the Road of Wisdom given to him by Xiao in the former Anhuo City.
"The little man in the bottle is just Anhofors's mistaken search for immortality, a mythical being with a mind like a child."
"It doesn't know what it wants. It's like a newborn child, but it has power over everything."
"It is a mythical monster. It has no empathy for Trefoil and mortals. It longs for freedom. It wants to follow the footsteps of the god Insai."
"Because it wants to gain the other party's recognition and find the only reason for its existence."
Asai personally ended the villain in the bottle. No one can understand the other party better than him.
"It is the product of a tragedy from beginning to end."
Asai talked about Xiao again.
"And Xiao."
"He is a student of Lan En, the second-generation sage of truth. Although he does not have extraordinary talents, he has a mind that is beyond ordinary people."
"He seized Lan En's experimental data on the Path of Wisdom, and then obtained Anhofors' four-point secret technique of the Divine Grace Stone, and obtained the core secret of the myth of the little man in the bottle."
"This completes the path to complete wisdom."
"This road to eternal life begins with the generations of ancestors of the Samo family, the blood descendants of the royal family."
"It went to Anhofors, to Lane, and finally to Shaw's hands before it was finally completed."
"Although Xiao only integrated these materials and put them together into a complete path like a puzzle, he was the first person to create a complete path to the myth of wisdom."
"It's undeniable."
Asai walked under the Temple of Knowledge and stopped.
"He is not an ordinary enemy." He affirmed this enemy in his words.
Asai's back was turned to Polik, but he could still feel the coldness in his words.
"but."
"Everything that has happened in the past has come to be reckoned with."
"Everything he has given me, I will give back to him with my own hands."
Polik also affirmed Asai's judgment: "Xiao is terrible!"
"Now he has lost everything he once had, and only his spirituality is still reincarnating. At least for now, he has not recovered everything he once had."
"On the other side of the desert where the sun falls is where the followers of Xiao are."
"As long as you find its believers, you can find the spiritual door."
The Gate of Truth can only deduce possibilities, but Asai sees it more clearly.
He can grasp the core of everything and grasp Xiao's purpose.
"No!"
"We are going to another place, on the other side of the sea."
Asai's eyes penetrated the dream world and looked at the place where this era began: "The Giant Island of Ruhe."
"Spirituality is just an introduction. For Xiao, his personality and memory are the most important."
"That is, the stone of desire and the stone of knowledge."
"He reincarnated his spirit and threw his wisdom to the Temple of Truth, but his Stone of Desire and Stone of Knowledge must still be on the giant island of Ruhe, and there must be his back-up plan on that island."
"It is absolutely impossible for a person like him to be reincarnated like this."
"He must have other plans. Even my mother is a part of his plan. He still wants to plot against me in this era."
Polik: "If Xiao did it, why did he do it? What was the reason for doing it?"
"What purpose does he want to achieve?"
The Gate of Truth begins again.
Asay told Polik: "He's afraid of death."
"No!"
Asai just said it, but he overturned what he just said.
Perhaps he felt that the word "fear of death" was not used correctly. What Xiao was afraid of was not death.
"He's afraid of failure."
"He is afraid that he will not be able to become a god. He is afraid that his plan will eventually come to nothing."
"If he dies, he won't be able to accomplish his goal."
"If he dies, he won't be able to reach the end he wants."
Asai also deduced Xiao's true purpose bit by bit as he spoke.
"He wanted to use my mother as an insurance policy, an insurance policy that would prevent him from dying no matter what."
"He has too many enemies, and his road to becoming a god is full of enemies and unknowns."
"He's not going to succeed," Polik said.
"Because of you, the great God of truth and knowledge, you have seen through his plan."
Asai shook his head and said, "He has succeeded."
"He won't die because I can't let him die."
"At least I can't let him die until I find the answers I want."
Various emotions appeared in Asai's eyes, and possibilities and information were summarized in his mind, calculating Xiao's entire plan.
"If it's really Xiao who did it, I'm sure he has a back-up plan."
"even."
"Even if I find the answer I want, I can't kill him."
But at the same time, Asai suddenly laughed.
"but"
"Besides death, there are many endings in this world that are more terrifying than death."
Polik suddenly asked Asai: "Isn't he afraid?"
"Don't he know that the consequences of doing this may be very miserable?"
"We created so many enemies and paid such a terrible price to pursue a goal that was still unknown at the time."
Although Asai has never faced Xiao directly, he knows this enemy very well, and he knows what the other party is thinking.
Even if he closes his eyes, he can feel the other person standing in front of him alive.
Xiao is very similar to the former Anhofors, but Xiao has no bottom line than Anhofors.
He is like a machine pursuing a purpose.
"For Xiao, as long as he can achieve his goal."
"He would do anything."
"Even if the ending is more terrifying than death, that's what he longs for."
"Even if there is only a glimmer of opportunity, he will give up everything to pursue it."
Porick or the door of truth is stuck, and there is no word left.
He couldn't understand it either.
What kind of person is this?
Asai held his hands and walked step by step towards the Temple of Knowledge with his head held high.
"But this is just right."
"Death is such a beautiful thing. Eternal peace does not belong to people like Xiao."
"I want him to never be able to achieve what he wants, and never be able to die."
"That is his future."
When he finished speaking the last word, he happened to be standing in front of the gate of the Temple of Knowledge.
There was a smile on Asai's lips, but hatred in his eyes.
"resemble!"
"Let us reincarnate in this eternal nightmare together!"
However, when saying this sentence.
Asai's expression suddenly froze.
A feeling of the scene reappearing appeared in his mind.
Why is it so familiar?
This feeling?
Suddenly, he remembered what the little man in the bottle once said.
When this evil god was just born on the Holy Mountain, he said these words to Anhofors who created him.
"Anhofors."
"bring it on!"
"Drink together the poisonous wine of eternal life."
Asai was stunned for a moment, his eyes filled with confusion.
He suddenly turned his head and looked at Polik behind him.
Polik also walked up behind Asai, his eyes looking at the gorgeous flowers exposed on the left wall of the temple.
Inside is a beautiful colorful flower tree that is in full bloom at the moment.
Polik saw Asai turning his head and looked at him.
"What's wrong?"
"god?"
Asai shook his head: "Nothing."
He walked into the temple without explaining anything.
As the god of truth and knowledge, he pursues the truth.
I don’t believe in such a thing as fate.
But at this moment, he seemed to really see the reincarnation of fate——
In the city of knowledge.
The entire city is divided into different districts, and each district stores different books and knowledge; each district is further subdivided until it is divided into every library and every bookshelf.
Wandering in the outer sea of knowledge is a lot of information that cannot be called knowledge; this information cannot be called completely useless, and can play some special roles at critical moments.
At this moment, Asai, like Duma before, was trying to find a way to open the door to the giant island of Ruhe.
When the Aiwel people left the giant island of Ruhe, the power of the Gate of Truth had not yet recovered, let alone any intelligence.
Therefore, there was no backup plan left at all, and now we can only rearrange it.
temple.
Asai was standing in the corridor on the side of the temple, and through the window he could see the rainbow tree outside.
Asai is holding a book in his hand, and the book is emitting light.
This is a book of witch spirits.
Various magical spells have even been recorded on it, and a page of truth has been prepared.
If a person with talent gets this book, although he cannot directly become a third-level power user, the road to third-level power will be opened directly without any threshold.
Polik stood beside Asai and told Asai.
"Although I didn't leave any backup when I left."
"However, there are still some remnants of the Evel people on the island, and among these people there are still believers who believe in you."
"They are grateful to God for your gift, and they are grateful to you..."
Asai: "It was Shoburn who saved them."
Polik: "It was you who gave Shoburn the strength so that they could save their fate."
Asai gave the Book of Witch Spirits to Polik: "Then it's up to you to choose!"
Polik accepted the book respectfully, and then led several other ghosts to the rainbow tree.
They chanted the names of the messengers of the gods according to the ritual.
In fact, there is a rainbow tree, so you don’t need to perform this step.
But Polik and the others still do this to show their respect for the messengers of the gods.
The more powerful a being is, the more attention it pays to this step.
"O messenger of the gods!"
"Please send it to the giant island of Ruhe and to the believer who believes in truth and knowledge."
at last.
Only then did Polik put the Book of Witch Spirits into the tree hole.
In a flash of light, the book will be sent across the sea to the giant island of Ruhe on the other side.
Polik then returned to Asai and told him that it was done.
"The person we select will definitely accomplish our goals well."
Asai: "No, as long as he exists, that's fine."
"We just need a pair of eyes and an entrance to the giant island of Ruh."
"He is my believer. If he shares our path and goals, he will naturally want to walk with us."
Polik looked at Asai and said: "God Asai!"
"If she is still alive, maybe we can resurrect her."
This she is naturally Asai's mother.
Asai's eyes flickered with anticipation, then dimmed again.
"If she is really still here, she can't be who she used to be."——
Northwest of Ruhe Island.
In the western part of the wasteland, there is a village near the sea.
The climate here is a bit cold, and the ice and snow from the frozen plateau often invade here. Most people in the village make a living by fishing, which can only be said to be barely surviving.
The houses in this village are basically made of mud and covered with wood.
In this barren area, wood is also a very valuable thing.
The people in the village all migrated from far away, some from the jungles further north, and some who escaped from the herding plains.
"Well!"
A young man in the village with obvious Aiweier characteristics suddenly had a dream and was tossing and turning on the bed.
He dreamed that he was walking forward and saw a big tree with flowers.
Something is glowing in the tree hole.
Then.
He woke up.
At dawn the next day, the young man felt something was not right.
That dream was so real and so beautiful that it was not a dream that someone like him could have.
And the colorful flower trees look a bit like the rainbow trees used by fairies to send messages in stories I heard before.
"It can not be?"
"Is there really a fairy? Someone asked a fairy to deliver a message to me?"
The young man didn't catch anything today. He was thinking a lot on the way home after collecting his net, but suddenly he came to a fork in the road.
He looked at the fork in the road and felt a little familiar.
In his dream, he seemed to have reached this fork in the road and then walked to the other side.
He followed the feeling and went deep into the wilderness.
Farther.
It's getting dark.
Finally, he actually found the rainbow tree at the bottom of a hillside.
In the night, under the starry sky.
That tree exudes colorful dreamy light, so dazzling.
"This is?"
"Really a rainbow tree?"
He rushed over and excitedly circled the rainbow tree several times.
In the end, he knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly to thank the fairy, and at the same time, he also thanked the gods that his family has believed in for generations.
Finally, he carefully reached into the vortex of the tree hole and actually took out something.
A mysterious book.
The moment he took out the book, he directly called out its name, as if the book was telling it his own name.
"Book of Witch Spirits?"
A mark appeared on his hand, which was the mark of the God of Truth and Knowledge.
After the mark appeared, it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
