"What you said," Annan smiled bitterly, "I'm a little nervous."
Whether it's Gray Smith, Sir Silver, or Mr. Yaweng and Yao... all of these ancient gods believe in Annan.
It seems that as long as the crane returns, the world's impending future can be changed...
This is not incomprehensible.
The worm is an enemy that "theoretically only the Sky Crane can kill", but in fact, Annan has no idea about it.
Another big enemy that the Mist Realm faces is the virtual world that has now been completely destroyed.
As the virtual world gradually collapses, the "demons" from the virtual world will inevitably fall into this world.
This is not an invasion, nor is it being summoned, but after the world in which you live completely collapsed... you naturally fell to this level.
This also means that they can never return to their original world.
Because their world has been completely destroyed.
These resentful spirits that have been wandering in the destroyed virtual world for thousands of years have been completely distorted by the curse. Their only wish left is to take revenge at any cost, and to make the mist world suffer for their actions thousands of years ago.
Pay the price.
Because the virtual world has been destroyed, most of these "demons" have no entity. They are a carrier of "power"... In a sense, they are a bit similar to the weakened truth level.
"Anyone who is dissatisfied with this world and has resentment towards the entire world will attract these lonely souls from the virtual world."
The graysmith sighed: "Even if I am willing to believe people...but I have to admit that compared with the 'saints' whose conduct can be recognized by the holy bones, no matter what era they are in, they must resent the world and treat
There are more dissatisfied people in the world.
"And these guys who have been drilled into their minds by demons will gain powerful power. They may immediately take revenge on the world, or they may hide themselves well... But from the moment they are targeted by demons, they will
I won't repent.
"Because [hate] that is far deeper than their own hatred and resentment will completely pollute their souls. And 'hate', like 'love', can also be passed on... With the evil they do, the world
It will become increasingly dark and dull.
"According to Miss Good Luck's inference, from the time demons appear on a large scale in the virtual world, within two hundred years at the latest, we must stop the chronology ceremony and start directly intervening in the world, otherwise the social order will completely collapse."
The gray craftsman said seriously: "And this year is the first year that demons in the virtual world appear on a large scale."
Although thousands of years ago, the heart of the world in the virtual world had been taken away by Father Sui.
But the certainty of the heart of the world will not cause the virtual world to collapse and be destroyed immediately. Instead, the entire world will quickly begin to become extreme and distorted, and eventually collapse bit by bit.
Just like if too much of the world's blood is drawn, gray fog will form.
After the Heart of the World is taken away, the real "end of the world" will come.
The rules will be reversed and common sense completely subverted
The temperature difference between day and night increases by several degrees every day, sea levels rise at a rate visible to the naked eye, typhoons not only do not recede after they come ashore, but increase every day, earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions occur one after another...
The dead were resurrected with rotten flesh; everyone who could barely survive went crazy...or perhaps flesh and blood merged with inorganic matter to form deformed monsters.
Afterwards, the world began to gradually break into countless pieces.
It's not as simple as the land cracking. It's a chaotic rupture of space and time... just like cells gradually dividing, or like the car window glass being smashed again and again with a hammer, becoming more and more broken.
Maybe when a surviving monster walks around a corner, it will come to the time and space two thousand years ago; and then as it walks down the street, it will inexplicably fall into the "future" five hundred years ago.
At that time...it won't be limited to "monsters that are a fusion of flesh and blood and inorganic matter".
The hatred, hatred, and evil thoughts of the entire destroyed world were fused together, and all kinds of decayed and rotten materials were pieced together, turning into a monster like a nightmare fusion monster.
Later... even this fused and twisted body had been dissolved by the world, leaving only the immortal and resentful soul.
But now, even the broken space like the witch's barrier that housed these resentful souls has completely perished.
These space debris are like meteor showers, one after another "falling" into the fog world.
These evil thoughts will also pollute the world because evil can also be passed on, and it is much easier to pass on than good.
"The reason why I am committed to eradicating despair, pain, and hatred in this world... is actually exercising. I am exercising my ability to understand myself and digest malice."
The graysmith replied sincerely: "I didn't know at that time that the overhead crane would return to this world.
"In my opinion at that time, the only ones who were willing to take action and capable of bearing this evil thought were probably me, Suifu and Mr. Yao. In order to bear the evil that would be a hundred times greater than that during the bloody war in the future, I must exercise
A tough enough heart.
"As the god who controls [Despair], I must not fall before other gods."
"I see……"
Annan nodded slowly.
He finally understood why the graysmith would suddenly do that kind of behavior that carries "all the evil in this world", and why he would do it for hundreds of years.
"Then... why are you coming here?"
Annan smiled and said, "You didn't come here specially to explain it to me, right?"
"Part of the purpose is to apologize to you. Although he is not me, the trouble he caused you is related to me to some extent. Just like when a child gets into trouble... the parents have to come out to apologize."
The gray-haired boy said gently: "I can't do anything else. I can only give you the knowledge related to 'Holy Bone Transplantation'. Later, if you need help... and you can trust me, you can come to me."
I.
"I can help you transplant the holy bones."
"Actually, he didn't cause any trouble to me."
Annan said honestly: "Because he didn't succeed at all, but I still accepted your kindness. I will definitely come when the time comes..."
Halfway through, he suddenly realized something.
"...Come? You mean...?"
"Just come directly to Gray Tower."
The graysmith said softly: "This is the second purpose of my coming here."
As he spoke, his figure suddenly grew taller and became older.
In the blink of an eye, he turned into Professor Gray.
"If 'Professor Gray' leaves, the children here will really have no future."
"Professor Gray" said solemnly: "Trissino did 'teach' his students and gave them the power to change their destiny... but at the same time he also stole their dreams and another possibility of life.
.
"Such behavior is not worthy of the title of 'Professor'. It even insults the former Professor Bai Chiron.
"While teaching others knowledge, we must also teach these children how to behave. We must guide their dreams and help them overcome the hurdles of reality..."
“Professor Gray”’s eyes were firm and steady: “Since ‘Professor Gray’ has given them the hope of changing their destiny... then leave it to me to realize their wishes.
"Although the two goddesses rejected them because of their ignorance and depravity, they arranged everything for them when they left.
"I don't have that much power, and I can't create so many creations that can improve their lives...but my advantage is that I have enough patience.
"This is the patience I have tempered by bearing evil thoughts for hundreds of years. Now that Tianche has returned, your apostles can easily deal with these demons, and the abilities I have developed will never be in vain.
"I will not leave the Gray Tower. Next, I will transform this depraved, closed and sinful underground world through education. Transform them generation after generation... to make them civilized and become
Know how to respect laws and rules, and know how to respect the lives of others, especially the weak.
"Although this cannot make up for the children who have gone astray, it is at least more responsible than leaving the Gray Tower behind and never coming back. That would only correct a mistake, but it would not solve a problem.
"
"...But you are a god!"
One plate of Nefertari exclaimed: "Just abandon your church..."
"What about God?"
The graysmith asked: "After all, what is a 'god'? This is just a name for the people of Yasselan... You worship us and respect us, but this cannot change our behavior.
"We are not puppets and clay sculptures sitting high in the church. We have been living in the human world from the very beginning. Rather than being called 'gods', I would rather you call us 'lords' and 'living pillars'..."
...and I prefer to consider myself the 'eldest son'.
"Whether it's me, the chariot driver... Yaweng, the girl holding the cup, or the mysterious lady. We are the eldest son of this world, the first to be born, your predecessors, and even your brothers. Respect your brother, first
Come on, the predecessors are the most basic 'tradition', but there is no need to worship them like this.
"Because we are neither rulers nor exploiters. We have been a protective force from the very beginning... We are existences that protect the world we know 'through our own means'.
"Life is short. People are tired just by living, and do not have so much ability and energy to live for others. We also understand this and allow people to be dull, greedy, irritable, unstable, and allow people's hearts to be vicious.
"But we have enough time and enough power. Let us do what you can't do."
The graysmith replied sonorously: "I think this is what 'gods' do and what they should do, rather than sitting in a church and being worshiped by others."
