In the beginning there was only the Source, the primordial soup from which the world was created.
Gann emerged from the "Tao" of the original source. He is the God of Creation and the Black Tower itself.
Magical water overflowed from his navel, and he sat at the center of the multi-world network, singing the songs of the mountains, rocks and trees, and the White Realm, forming this multi-system.
Standard magic creation background.
This is probably one of the few universes that Su Ming can think of in which multiple creators still exist. Mastering the Dark Tower is equivalent to mastering a conceptual tool that can truly create the world.
Although the 40K multi-system is used as a template, the work of rebuilding Marvel is planned to be done by little Franklin, who was rescued from the cancerous universe, but children are always sentimental and changeable, and a backup plan must be prepared just in case.
Gann is not the only one who emerged from the original source. Just like the night inevitably follows the day, Gann itself exudes endless light, dragging an extremely dark shadow behind it.
Following this shadow, a huge rotten stench emerged from the depths of the Beginning Path, which was the power of the outer edge of darkness, and an eternal 'desire box' was born. The desire box can be understood as a 'collection of thoughts' or a 'collection of emotions'
', is an abstract and concrete concept.
Out of the desire box came a being that looked like a creature that would later be called a human being, but it was not a human being.
This first creature was an agent of magic, calling himself Merlin.
Yes, it's still Merlin. Su Ming now suspects that he is also one of the clones of Marvel's Merlin, so there is a high probability that he will run into him.
Merlin likes to play, and what makes him most interesting is destruction.
In short, Siyuan created Gann and Merlin, and Gann created the gods. Merlin had an affair with the goddess of the night, and the goddess gave birth to 13 crystal balls. This is the origin of Merlin's rainbow.
They are the embodiment of concepts and the authority of the dark side of the universe. They have their own thoughts and can observe, think, and perform some activities. This is also the standard configuration of magic holy objects.
Later, humans were created by Gan, and gradually formed tribes and gradually formed the first kingdom.
Merlin appeared uninvited at the coronation ceremony of the first king, King Arthur, and gave him the wizard's rainbow. It was this incident that led Arthur to impregnate the Blood Queen and give birth to the current villain, the Blood King.
During the coronation ceremony, Merlin suddenly appeared and brought powerful treasures. People were shocked by his power, so King Arthur asked him to teach humans magic.
This played right into Merlin's hands, because that's what he wanted to do.
As a powerful wizard, he began to teach the people of the "Middle World" the philosophy of magic and its many practical applications. He also taught them the knowledge called technology and showed them how to combine the two to establish a bridge between the worlds.
Tunnel between portal and time period.
At that time, it was easy for people to travel through the parallel world under the Dark Tower multiverse. They only needed to pass through a light door. Even farmers could drive to the parallel world to sell their goods, and they could even travel to the past and future to sell their goods.
To customers at different points in time.
If extraterrestrial trade goes a step further, won't it rise to multi-dimensional trade, and then time trade?
The facility with this kind of portal is called "Tao Root", which is a root system of "Tao" and an experimental station that combines technology with magic.
At that time, the world of Dark Tower was extremely glorious and prosperous.
The Ancient Kingdom controls 12 parallel worlds and all timelines attached to these parallel worlds. King Arthur is equivalent to a righteous knight version of Kang the Conqueror, even stronger than Kang.
Because he exists on the main time stream, unlike Kang, who lives in a closed time loop that he split off from, wandering and creating so many time residual entities to oppose himself.
But those nearly perfect days are just the beginning. Don’t forget Merlin’s purpose. He is here to play, not to help humans create a better life.
Isn’t the joy of playing dominoes just the knocking over?
At the same time, magic and technology were given to humans because of their self-destructive tendencies. In Tao Gen, the ancients finally created the ultimate weapon of annihilation, destroying all the worlds in the multiverse in an instant.
No one knows what the principle of that weapon is, but Su Ming feels that it should be a conceptual weapon related to the origin level.
Because after the destruction of the multiverse, Gunn restarted the multiverse and continued the story, but things became dark and weird, as if every parallel world was infected by darkness and screamed toward the abyss.
Merlin longed for the multiverse to reflect his own inner darkness, and thus created the laughing mirror.
Shards of the mocking mirror were blown into every possible future of every new world, allowing the evil of the Dark Rim to taint each world.
All the worlds in this multi-dimensional system are each a dark apocalypse, but the types of apocalypse are different.
During the flight, Su Ming briefly recalled the background story of the world, and landed on the city wall of the largest human settlement in the inner world.
Here is a plain, with reddish-brown chaos, tall thorn bushes, and scattered, broken grass that looks like bald patches.
But this is already the most fertile land in the Thistle Plow of the Extinction Kingdom. Even in this place where it is difficult to grow potatoes, people will kneel down and kiss it, thanking God for the gift.
The city is very dilapidated. The multi-layered city walls that should have been tall and majestic are now only pitted and pitted, like the teeth in an old dog's mouth or the stalagmites in a cave.
Today's season is the "New Earth", which in popular terms is the world of spring sowing. The smell of dust in the air is not very strong, because the nostrils are filled with the stench of the city.
I don't know if it was a coincidence or an arrangement, but the day Su Ming arrived happened to be the day when the gunslinger's 'trial' was held every year. At this time, outside the city wall, a group of half-grown children were having a fierce battle with a strong man.
communication.
The so-called 'card' is destiny. People here believe that a person's card is like a hand of cards, destined at birth.
The gunslinger, as the name suggests, is a person with a gun. He can be said to be an adventurer, a mercenary, or a vigilante. They barely maintain the basic order and human existence in this dark world.
He also does some less upright things.
Every generation of gunslingers is like this, passing trials and starting to travel far to pursue what they want in their hearts.
It's possible that they would stay there, settle down, find a woman to reproduce, and thus continue the legend of the gunslinger.
But the greater possibility is that they died on the road of adventure. Ninety-nine out of a hundred gunslingers will die in different dark worlds.
After all, this multiverse is always full of dangers. They are not superpowers, they are just ordinary humans with revolvers.
The candidates for the gunslingers in front of them are all the children of the old gunslinging families in the past. The trials they are undergoing are to defeat the servants of their fathers to prove that they will not die and will not leave their precious firearms in the vast wasteland.
middle.
Human lives are worthless, but guns are valuable. In terms of human metallurgical technology after the multi-dimensional restart, it is not that new revolvers cannot be made, but that every gun is a treasure.
Not to mention a gun, even a boot can be the cause of murder in the wilderness outside the city, because the only remaining order in this world is maintained by gunslingers and simple moral standards.
If it's an enemy that even the gunslinger can't defeat, that means that person can do whatever he wants.
