Chapter 1050: Flame Reincarnation

"Reincarnation of Fire?"

Ian senses all the information flowing in King Jhin's ether. If it were an ordinary sublimator, it would be impossible to read comprehensible regular information from the opponent's ether.

But he is a prophet and the founder of the arcane path. With the blessing of the Heart of Terra, his calculation power has reached an incredible state. He can directly see through the flow of ether and directly 'see' its super time and space. essential point.

What's more, the Lord of Ember himself is also burning his own heart and soul, so Ian can directly read the strongest desire in his heart from his fists, from his light, from his flames and ashes.

In addition to fighting himself, King Jhin's real plan in the past was the 'Reincarnation of Fire'.

Moreover, this reincarnation...

Still involved with him? !

The cyan light flashed, and the precognitive vision moved against time and space, seeing everything.

[So, you were persecuted by the empire and had to flee to Feiyandi? Boy, I have indeed heard the name of Chehalo Ervo, and I know that you are a very powerful psyker, so I am willing to meet you, but don’t think of me as an old man who is easy to fool like you in the countryside back home]

[Well, your talent is really good, and you are also very smart... The empire is probably not stupid enough to treat a genius like you as a spy. It's a pity that I don't have a daughter of the right age, otherwise it wouldn't be a loss to accept you...]

[Hiss... This boy's talent is peerless, and his learning ability is even more terrifying. This boy is not part of my Feiyan Earth Pond and must not be kept! 】

【What? 'My grace has been lost for half my life, but I only regret that I have not met my master. If the king doesn’t give up, would you like to worship me as your adoptive father’? This...how does this happen! Dear son, get up soon! 】

That is a tributary...a tributary that originates from Harrison Port and then flows to the Firelands.

[Are you actually a prophet? ! You actually told me you were a prophet after you became the crown prince? ! I have told you a hundred times that we in Feiyan Land will send out talents in any way. As long as you are willing to accept my bloodline and consider me as your adoptive father, you will be a member of Absalom, and you are still hiding this secret from me. ? ! 】

【What do I mean? I mean, if I'd known you were a prophet, why would you bother competing with my idiot children and grandchildren? You'd already be the fucking crown prince, okay? 】

【call. calm. Ian Absalom, tell me, what else are you hiding? 】

[Fuck me, you fucked the apprentice of the First Knight? ! 】

If it weren't for the precognitive vision, Ian would never have imagined that King Jhin would be such a grumpy and straightforward old man in his daily life - whether from the perspective of an Imperial person or a Flying Flame Earth person. There is no way to know.

This is the only way to know the true appearance behind the gloomy and majestic appearance of the King of Ember and become the object of his admiration... Just like Ember looks gray and cold on the outside, but without touching it, who can know what's inside it? Burning?

"What exactly is the Reincarnation of Fire?"

During the fierce battle, Ian asked the 'Jin King of Reality'. He punched out, and the layers of magnetic force accelerated, just like blasting out a super electromagnetic gun, and his will followed this violent magnetic torrent. Surging out.

[A way to continue humanity after the destruction of the world]

In response to Ian's punch, King Jhin retracted his hands and tilted his head upward, causing the powerful and heavy punch to pass over his head. At the same time, a ball of flames like a swirling noose mixed with Ian's fist and climbed up, like a gangrene attached to the bone, trying to penetrate deep into Ian's defense and bypass the strongest layers of the Immovable Fortress Steel Herald. shield.

In fact, the two could no longer speak at all, nor could they hear each other's voices. The communication between the two relied on fist-to-fist, force-to-force attacks, and the 'etheric resonance' that broke out at that moment.

Even at the fifth energy level, it is impossible to use etheric resonance to converse in battle. The conversation just now is already the limit.

But Ian is different - he has precognitive vision. The increasingly powerful precognitive vision can already rely on this 'cause and effect' to directly glimpse the 'possible future' in parallel time and space!

In parallel time and space, as his junior, Ian can even directly listen to the other party telling him the truth about the 'Reincarnation of Fire'.

This is something that Offaien cannot do no matter how powerful he is!

[Don’t believe the world will be destroyed? Oh, optimistic boy, your idea is shared by most people in this world, but I tell you truthfully, everything in this world, no matter you and me, even the heaven, earth, planets, sun and stars, will eventually turn into ash】

[Anyone at the fifth energy level actually knows that the end is approaching. The catastrophe of falling from the sky may not come again, but in the depths of this earth, there is still a dark sea that can destroy everything]

[And in the sky, didn’t the old man from the Hall of All Souls recently predict the disaster of light? No one is surprised, because we have vague predictions in our hearts that destruction will come again]

[Even if the disasters of heaven and earth have not destroyed us, is it possible that we ourselves cannot destroy it? The glowing bird in the east is getting more and more anxious, and so are we. Passed down from generation to generation, struggling from generation to generation, the inexplicable sense of urgency urges us to move forward]

[We also want to change the world, but there are other fifth energy levels blocking the way. This anxiety will eventually lead us to the final battle. At the end, that will be the real man-made disaster that can completely destroy us humans]

【Um? Are you saying I have no desire to win? Huh...you can see so accurately, you are worthy of being a prophet]

[Everything will eventually turn to ashes. I don't want to waste my life on a foolish war. Axel is not worthy of my wholehearted fighting. In this world, except for Huaiguang, there may be nothing worthwhile. But Huaiguang will only wait until everything is over and start over. I don't like that kind of ending.]

[So, I, the Spiritual Machinery Cult, and some people from Suming created a new technology.]

[It's called 'Reincarnation of Flame']

[A technology... after the world is destroyed, everyone will be turned into demons and continue to exist forever in the virtual world.]

"Demon?"

Ian's arm shook, and the magnetic field and gravitational field around him began to rotate wildly, making time and space seem to boil. The visible tangible Qi energy boiled and burned around him, and then sublimated and condensed, turning into star-like phantoms.

And the traces of flaming ether that the King of Ashes had invaded his body before were forced out, and even turned into a phantom of a flaming star, rotating around Ian.

This technique is the defense matrix technique used by Ian's missionary, Ace Nirmasas. As the creator, Ian is obviously more proficient in this. More than hundreds of thousands of completely different magnetic field flows are rapidly rotating inside and outside the body, constantly overlapping and climbing, and even set off a huge typhoon in the virtual world.

This typhoon is the "absolute area" that Ian can control. No matter how strange and powerful the enemy's power is, it is impossible to bypass it. If you want to get close, you will inevitably conflict with this magnetic field hurricane.

So in the next moment, you can see that there are millions of completely different attack methods in the upper, lower, left, right, front and back of the magnetic field typhoon - swords, guns, swords, cannons, fists and feet, cutting and shattering, sealing and burning... Relying on burning his own spiritual soul, and constantly emitting his own ether to mix into the virtual world, at this moment, the will and attack of the King of Ashes began to be imprinted in the virtual world.

A different kind of "unity of man and nature" that is close to the druid!

[You actually saw that the reincarnation of fire is related to the devil! 】

The King of Ashes was burning himself. He was in his best state at the moment. No battle in this world could be called "changing the world", so he had no interest in any battle.

But Ian was different. This man laughed loudly. Since the emergence of the Arcane Path, he has been trying to deduce the changes that the Arcane Path might bring to the world... Haha, he can't deduce it at all! This path that changes the survival mode of all mankind from the foundation is completely different from those paths that only allow the strong to go further.

Compared with this change, perhaps the future of mankind will have a different ending... Perhaps mankind will not become ashes that will eventually dissipate, and perhaps he will not have to grow old in this boring world.

【If you want to know, I will let you see it more clearly! 】

Facing the magnetic field matrix without any gaps or loopholes, which blocked all attacks from the front, back, left, right, and even from inside and outside time and space, the King of Ashes spread his arms, and immediately, the virtual spiritual energy cycle that was ignited by his soul and burned fiercely, and even manifested the essence of "circulation" began to turn into a hazy vortex, pressing towards Ian.

And he himself was burning even more fiercely, bright and hot, turning his body into a vortex, also pressing towards Ian.

In this way, one positive and one negative, one bright and one dark, two completely opposite flame vortices began to strangle the "suppressed" Ian, and wanted to use the purest power and the largest volume to forcibly wear down and refine Ian!

But this is also the answer of the King of Ashes!

‘Circulation’… ‘Reincarnation’…

“So that’s it!”

At this moment, Ian also sensed everything in this most direct etheric intersection: “So… the entire virtual world and the material world are all a ‘circulation’… they are all ‘tide sounds’!”

With the foresight, Ian saw the essence of the operation of the entire virtual world!

That is, a superstructure originating from outside of time and space, outside of the universe…that is the ‘great etheric circulation’!

The entire Terra virtual world is essentially a tributary of the great etheric circulation, a ‘psychic world’ intersecting with the material world!

This universe itself was originally only material. But as the Star God created ether and the great etheric circulation, this universe was filled with endless ether, linking the past and the future, guiding material changes, allowing people’s will to control the burning of flames, the fall of thunder, and breed extraordinary and sublimation, allowing the most ordinary and weakest life to also follow the path of source psychic energy, etheric time and space, and become a new ‘Star God’.

Among them, the guidance of intelligent life is the top priority. The Great Ether Circulation will react to all areas that may breed life in infinite parallel time and space, and then separate a tributary.

This tributary is pure ether. When falling from outside time and space, pure true ether will decay and turn into source matter and psychic energy. Source matter helps local life strengthen its essence so that it can survive, and psychic energy adds a layer of "virtual structure" to the structure of the material world, allowing the will of life to gradually accumulate and enrich. When an intelligent civilization develops to an extremely prosperous state, the feedback of the virtual realm will also come.

At that time, all life on this planet will have "soul determination" and naturally produce "souls"!

Yes! This is the step that the Terra civilization almost failed to do before! It is also the step that other alien civilizations have taken!

Spontaneous "national soul" that does not require artificial souls! National "soul awakening"!

The fact that the Terran people can accept artificial souls actually proves that they are not far away from spontaneous souls, and the next step is universal spiritual power after universal souls. These are the real effects of the virtual realm, assisting a ‘ladder’ to the progress of civilization!

This is also the same as what Ian learned from previous exchanges with the goblins: The virtual world is essentially a bubble, floating on the endless virtual sea. The civilization of intelligent life is the breath that blows up this bubble, and the virtual sea that carries the bubble The essence of...

It’s the Great Ether Circulation!

And just like its true source, the virtual environment itself is also a 'circulation', but this circulation is the siltation of the soul and spiritual matter that draws all the intelligent life in the local area. As long as intelligent life does not die, then the virtual environment will not be able to give birth to wisdom. destroyed.

Even conversely, even if all intelligent life is wiped out, as long as the virtual realm is still large enough, it can still flow for a long time before gradually stopping.

This is somewhat similar to another similar circulation that Ian has seen before, the port of the Great Ether Circulation... that is the 'Ghost Crystal Perpetual Motion Machine·Endless Tide'.

Perhaps, the technology of perpetual motion and the technology of psychic circulation have the same origin... When a civilization has thoroughly studied the nature of the virtual world and the material world, and mastered some large ether circulation technologies along the flow of ether, this civilization You can develop your own 'perpetual motion machine'.

Although it relies on the power of the Star God, the birth of all intelligent life in this universe depends on the Star God, so it doesn't matter if you rely more on Big Daddy.

Of course, most civilizations may not reach this point. They will decline, destroy themselves, and completely lose the vitality of their virtual realm.

But this is not the end.

In this process, there will even be a new civilization that relies on the virtual realm. Whether it is fairies, ghosts, or elemental life, it is possible to be born, allowing the virtual realm to continue to operate.

Of course, there is another possibility.

【Abyss Demon】

In parallel time and space, the older King Jhin described his plan to his successor: [This is a virtual creature that has existed for a longer time than we know. It contains all the suffering and memories of a civilization, and is a new species born from the corpse of a civilization]

[Even if civilization is destroyed, demons will still exist. The virtual realm will even be twisted into an abyss by them, and it will still exist for hundreds of thousands or millions of years]

[Devils will create huge distortions in the material world, that is, various subspace labyrinths. If the number of demons is large enough and the quality is high enough, they can even break through the cycle of the virtual world and the material world and directly descend into the material world in an 'entity'. Live and exist like normal creatures...even allowing the virtual realm to gain more 'power' and create greater distortions]

【do you understand? Ian? 】

[If everything is destroyed and turned into ashes, then we can transform ourselves into 'artificial demons'... When the number of artificial demons exceeds the threshold of 279 million, the virtual realm will be greatly distorted and descend. In the material world, demons can live like humans in the past and develop civilization]

"but."

At this moment, Ian heard his own voice in parallel time and space. It was just like him now, full of curiosity and doubt: "Such distortion will eventually have its limit. The distortion of the virtual realm will rebound, and the 'artificial' will be transformed in an instant." The civilization created by the devil is destroyed, or recycled into the virtual realm - by then, everything will be destroyed, and the virtual realm will become chaotic due to the distorted rebound. "

【Yes】

King Jhin smiled and replied: [So then, just ignite the chaos]

[Keep the core soul data of all people and demons in the abyss, in the 'Apocalypse Server' built by the Psychic Order, and then I will ignite the entire virtual realm and turn it into pure spiritual flames, All chaos turns into blank】

[Then, the abyss will give birth to a new ‘Devil’s Soul’, creating a brand new world, once again distorting the virtual realm and reality, and allowing demons to be born again]

[The goblin can’t do it. When the movement of the virtual realm stops, the goblin will die. Elemental life cannot do this. When the void turns into chaos, they will perish. Ghosts can't even do it. When the distortion of the virtual realm is recycled, everything about them will be crushed]

[Only demons, only demons that have long been dead, shattered, and just a ball of ashes, can be reborn after death and re-consolidate in the brokenness]

This is circulation, reincarnation and circulation.

If the world is destroyed, then everyone will become demons. The extremely powerful distortion of the virtual world will create a nearly permanent distortion of the abyss in the material world, and artificial demons with human thoughts can continue to live in this twisted virtual abyss.

Even if the entire world has become a wasteland, and even the planet is broken, in the twisted abyss, in the distorted virtual realm, the world is still the original appearance of birds singing and flowers fragrant.

However, the humans living in this world, those with ‘Devil Souls’, have their limits.

human nature.

The humanity in Demon Souls will continue to pass away. In the final analysis, they are not real material beings. The human will in the Demon's core will continue to be consumed, eventually leading to the complete demonization of the body and turning into an immortal ghost.

When the entire civilization loses its humanity and cannot maintain the distortion of the virtual world, the entire world will gradually move towards destruction.

The twisted virtual realm will shrink, and the world of singing birds and fragrant flowers will gradually return to the ugly, shattered, and even broken appearance of the real world.

Just as the flames are extinguished, the illuminating light dissipates, and the essence of darkness returns to reality.

But this is not the end.

[The devil devours the entire world and turns everything into nothingness, and I will rekindle the flames and reshape everything]

[Then the Apocalypse server will once again download "humanity"]

The King of Ashes in the parallel universe said calmly: [So the world was created again]

This is an endless cycle, a dead cycle.

Whether it is Ian in the parallel universe or Ian now, they all feel a chill at this moment.

Because he saw the biggest flaw in this plan.

"The human memory in the Apocalypse server will not change, right?"

"They have stagnated when they died, and what is downloaded again is just a copy - and these copies will also be destroyed with the distorted virtual world. The human memory in the Apocalypse server will not change, they are just stored there!"

[Of course. If it changes, it will be destroyed. If it changes, the variables cannot be guaranteed. But don't worry, even if the 'beginning' is the same, the 'process' is always different. With each reincarnation, the world will change again and again.]

"And, Dad."

[Hmm? What happened?]

"From the beginning to the end, are you the only one burning?"

[Ahh... this]

[Yeah. Indeed]

[Maybe one day, I will burn out, but by then, maybe a soul in a certain apocalypse server will awaken and inherit my responsibilities to continue this flame]

[Anyway, by then, I will definitely die happily]

[But don't worry, kid, I will burn, and burn longer than everyone else, beyond everyone's imagination. Even if it is the entire civilization, I can bear it]

[Because, I really don't want to]

[I don't want to... turn into ashes]

So, time accelerated.

Reincarnation... began.

Reality.

"Two hundred million years?!"

Looking up, Ian looked at the confused King of Ashes with a horrified and incredible look. He didn't know why Ian suddenly popped up a number: "You can burn for two hundred million years?! You call this a short life of brilliant burning?"

"Are you crazy? How did you do it?!"
