Chapter 1053 The Prophet Heading Towards the Future, the Sage Who Changes Everything (7200)

"Unexpectedly...there is no ether?!"

At this moment, Ian really felt incredible - incomprehensible.

Some people may think it's making a fuss out of a molehill, but in the Terra Universe - the Star God Ether Universe, the existence of ether itself is the foundation of everything.

It is the ether that integrates the shapes of the stars, and it is the ether that constructs the origin of the birth of all living beings... To put it simply, in the ether universe, before the true ether spread, there was probably only one life form in the entire universe, the star god. With the queen ether, human beings And other carbon-based organisms, metal-based life and various other different life forms were born.

Without ether, the shape of the entire universe would be unimaginable by current creatures.

However, the 'outer universe' that spreads with the end and continues to invade the 'inside the cradle' is a 'dead silence' without any ether.

Ian watched this scene without moving, without moving his eyes at all.

"There is no ether in the universe outside the cradle."

This is the biggest reminder and greatest contribution that [Path of Ashes] has given him.

Muttering to himself, Ian took a deep breath: "There are too many possibilities... Let me think about it carefully."

First of all, ether is the tool of the Star God, and the Great Ether Gyre is the supreme creation of the Star God. The Star God and the ether are absolutely bound together.

There is no ether in the outside world, which means there is no Star God. This is also consistent with what Ian knows. In this war in heaven, the result is that the Star God is defeated.

So, under this premise, there are two possibilities for the disappearance of ether.

The first one, which is the most likely one, is that after the Star God is finally defeated, the 'ether', the source of power representing the Star God, is also blocked... To put it simply, two races breathe oxygen, One breathes ammonia, and the two coexist on the same planet that has both oxygen and ammonia.

The battle for oxygen was defeated, and the ammonia-breathing race removed all the oxygen in the planet and replaced it with ammonia. In this way, even if the oxygen-breathing race recovered its vitality and prepared to fight again, it would be the same on this planet. Huge disadvantage.

The second type is that the Star God was defeated and took the initiative to remove the ether and accumulate strength to lurk.

There is nothing to say about this. If the first possibility is still the main one, then the Star God will eventually eliminate it if he does not accept it. The Star God has anticipated this possibility and will definitely take the initiative to recycle the ether, just like accumulating power. When punching, you need to swing your hands back like this. This is the process of accumulating strength.

But neither of these possibilities can perfectly explain the scenes that Ian saw during 200 million years.

First of all, it is the escape of the final fragments from the Dragon Island seal.

One hundred and sixty million years ago, due to the virtual destruction of the Terran civilization, the perpetual motion machine disappeared, and the ether concentration inside the cradle without a steady stream of 'new ether' was extremely low, even falling below the limit that could maintain the seal of Dragon Island.

The seal of Dragon Island failed, and the final fragment left the black hole that sealed it and entered the interior of the sun, turning the Terra star into a black hole.

This scene seemed ordinary, but in fact it made Ian suspicious.

Zhenyan was originally a race that lived in black holes. This can be seen from the fact that after the Zhenyan fragment left the seal of Dragon Island, it went directly to the star to create a black hole. This is almost their instinct.

But apart from that, it seems like he can do nothing in the end.

After the Terminus fragment turned the sun of Terra into a black hole, until the cradle was shattered, and the Terminus outside the cradle also entered the black hole of Terra, there was a full 40 million years - during this period, what was the Terminus fragment? Even without doing anything, the black hole rotated smoothly, and the reincarnation of fire was not hindered or affected in the slightest, until it was completely destroyed by an even more terrifying disaster of light 40 million years later.

Yes, the Reincarnation of Fire was destroyed by the Scourge of Light.

It was not the fragments of the End, nor the Great End behind it - Ash Ian and the Samsara of Flame were indeed dead, but they had nothing to do with the End. This was probably the reason why Ian could see the 'Pitch Black Rainbow'.

After all, the cradle is broken, and Ian has actually escaped from prison and is located in the outside universe. Although he died the next moment and it was pitch black, he finally achieved his goal, so there was a little rainbow.

This gave Ian a rather incredible possibility.

"Could it be that on the way to the end of the road to the end of the star, Ian... didn't die?"

Thinking of this, Ian shook his head: "No, it is completely unobservable. My guiding star can't send back any news, of course I don't know what the result will be - but Ashes Ian can still send back 'I will die in Here's the news, so it's dark."

"However, in the end, it is indeed less harmful than imagined."

Originally, Ian thought that as the enemy of the Star God, Jiuyan's mere appearance would cause distortion and destruction of the universe, extinguishing countless stars in large swaths.

But now it seems that they simply turned all stars into black holes, without even interfering with gravity.

In other words...as long as it doesn't attract their attention, can we go in another direction?

"The end is located in the direction of the cradle's wound. If you go from there, you will definitely hit the end, and you will definitely die."

Ian's mind was spinning: "And now, I know that the magnetic monopole can break the barrier of the cradle - can I go to the other side of Terra's cradle and use the magnetic monopole to open another door to avoid the end of the world?" How can I go to the outside world?"

"Maybe. But it's only ten light years from one end of the cradle to the other. If you really want to catch up, I'm afraid you'll catch up in an instant, right?"

"Hmm...can I catch up?"

At this moment, Ian suddenly fell into deep thought.

——Does the End have superluminal means?

There is no doubt that there is. According to the last echo, and the news from Dragon Island, the appearance and spread of the End is superluminal, and it is still a very high level. It doesn't take long to extinguish an entire galaxy.

But how do they exceed the speed of light?

This doesn't need to be thought about. The invincible race of the End has lost more than it has won. Is it necessary to think about how to exceed the speed of light?

But in fact, it is not the case.

"The End can leave the black hole... He can break through the event horizon because of the 'ether'."

Ian frowned, he felt that he seemed to have grasped something key: "If the End is really a time axis life, then they are actually very uncomfortable with moving on the 'space axis'."

"Only under the influence of the ether did the End have the initial space axis movement ability."

Just as Ian guessed at the beginning, for the End, the existence of the ether is just like an anomaly in a horror game, allowing them to come to different spaces like humans traveling through time, and the space axis life is also a monster that changes rapidly and is difficult to see in the same space-time zone, and flashes suddenly in a certain time period from time to time.

Because of this, whether it is the End Fragment or the End, as long as they encounter a black hole, they will immediately go into it-they finally found a stable space-time zone and will no longer encounter so many messy weirdness.

But here comes the question: They came out of the black hole with ether, and they spread with ether... In the absence of ether, how can the End "move" its spatial axis to reach the inside of the black hole event horizon?

Ian does not know the answer to this question, but it is still very simple to predict the possibility.

First: The End has the ability to move on the spatial axis without ether.

The End should be able to do this. As a civilization at the same level as the Star God or even better, the Star God can make the ether transcend time and space, predict the direction of many information in the past and the future. As long as the End studies, it will definitely be able to produce results.

But here comes the question-can every End do this?

The individual Star God, from today's perspective, may be at the seventh energy level. If it is a juvenile, the standard condition may also be the sixth energy level. However, the Star God's ability to transform the universe's time and space, shape the great ether circulation, and affect infinite parallel time and space is definitely not something that can be summarized by the seventh energy level.

The sixth and seventh energy levels are probably just the weak and ordinary people in the Star God tribe. Above them, there are more powerful individual Star Gods, and the "Star God Civilization as a Whole" that represents the pinnacle of everything.

The Great Ether Circulation can help weak Star Gods do many things that they cannot do on their own. This is the power of civilization. Even humans like Ian can rely on the Great Ether Circulation and the power of prophecy to know the future or the possibilities of infinite parallel time and space.

However, if there is no Great Ether Circulation, it is just an ordinary country Star God. With its own power, it wants to transcend time and space, predict the future, and sense other parallel time and space... Ian thinks that it is definitely a difficult thing to do.

If the End also has a "Great End Circulation", then perhaps every End can walk freely on the space axis, but at present, although the End has defeated the Star God and has the ability to remove the ether, it has not had time to create a "Great End Circulation".

Ordinary Ends may not be as powerful as imagined. Without the support of the civilization behind them, it is probably impossible to move the space axis "without ether".

So, thinking the other way around, it is the second possibility.

Individual, ordinary Ends do not have the ability to move the spatial axis in a non-ether environment.

So, there is another possibility.

——Did the End really remove the ether, rather than the Star God taking the initiative to remove the ether after being defeated?

The End used the ether open to everyone, plus his own unique technology, to defeat the Star God, the creator of the ether. This is not surprising, because the End used the power of the Star God to defeat the Star God himself... But on the other hand, if the Star God completely gave up the ether, then the Star God and the End would be back to the same starting line!

In this way, the group of ‘Ends’ without ether, which are not the most powerful, were stagnant in the ‘external universe’ without ether!

This is also the reason why the End Fragments entered the Terra star when the ether was thin, and after turning the star into a black hole, they have not come out for a full 40 million years-not only because the black hole is comfortable to live in, but also because the ether is so thin that the weak fragments cannot leave the event horizon!

"The End is stopped outside the wound of the cradle... Is He waiting for something?"

Ian looked up and looked in the direction of the wound of the cradle, thinking: "Sure enough, there is no ether in the outside universe, so He can't move?"

The End outside the cradle, if Ian's guess is correct, is also stuck in place for the same reason.

When the Star God's spaceship smashed the cradle barrier, the ether inside the cradle flowed to the outside world, attracting an End that was looking for a suitable place to live around, but the disappearance of the ether made the End move slower and slower on the space axis. When He came outside the cradle, the cradle had been repaired and no ether flowed out.

He stopped in place, motionless, and fell into a state of neither life nor death for the End.

Until...the dragon of light smashed the cradle's wound, allowing high-concentration ether to flow out, activating the final ability to move.

Or maybe 200 million years later, the cradle was broken and the thin ether flowed out, finally finding the last chance to follow the ether flow back to the black hole.

As for the normal material world?

In the end, I don't care. Just like human beings would not take a second look at planets without a suitable environment.

That makes sense.

And...Ian even thought about the beginning of everything.

The disaster of falling from the sky.

The crash of the starship.

Why does the seal of the Star God's seal of the Final Fragment fail? Why did this seal succeed again as soon as it entered the cradle?

The answer seems simple.

"It was that moment."

Ian whispered to himself: "At the moment when the disaster happened, the 'ether' disappeared from the outside world!"

"Even the Star God spacecraft, one of the individuals of the Star God, which carries the important sheltered fire and carries the fragment of the terminal, did not receive this notification. When encountering the sudden disappearance of the ether, the seal and power unit lost control, allowing the fragment of the terminal to escape. , destroying key areas of the spacecraft!"

"No, it may be that he knew and was notified, but he did not expect such a big impact. The Star God spacecraft has a perpetual motion machine, and the ether it continuously produces is enough for the spacecraft to be used alone, but the change in ether concentration is enough to cause the final The fragments found an opportunity and caused a 'fall from the sky'."

"After Tianzhui entered the Terra star field and entered the cradle, due to the isolation of the cradle from the 'internal and external universe', the ether concentration returned to stability. Instead, the dragon kings found an opportunity to reshape the seal and suppress the final fragments."

"This is the truth about Skyfall - it is not a simple accident, but the 'aftermath splash' caused by a confrontation between the two sides in a war so vast that humans can hardly imagine it!"

"Whether it is Star God or Terminus, their civilized individuals are powerless in the face of cosmic-level changes. One died due to falling from the sky, and the other was stagnated in the external universe due to the disappearance of ether."

"This is... what Ashes Path wants to tell me!"

Ian didn't know whether his guess was right - but that was the case with all speculations and assumptions. Only by acquiescing that he was right could all thinking continue.

When the Star God built the cradle, he should have also made relevant designs.

First of all, there is a high probability that there is a perpetual motion machine inside every cradle, because the cradle cannot abandon the life of ether as an energy source, ensuring that the ether ecology in the cradle can exist.

This is the case with Terra. Although the Endless Tide has not yet fully started, it has been slowly releasing the ether, allowing Terra to be gradually converted into a Gaia planet.

If everything goes according to the Star God's vision, when they cancel the ether in the entire universe and start a new war with the end, all intelligent life in the universe will be preserved in the cradle and regenerate in the ring worlds.

The perpetual motion machine can ensure that they have extremely abundant energy resources, independent of the war between the Star God and the End... In this way, the civilization in the cradle may always exist!

You know, the cradle on Terra collapsed after 200 million years because the perpetual motion machine disappeared, and the waiting time for other normal cradles is probably not shorter than the lifespan of a star, right?

Ten billion years... Normal civilization would have been extinct long ago. If the Star God could do this, no civilization would complain.

Obviously, Ian can think of the timeline life in the end, and Star God must also be able to.

Although the Star God's understanding of the end is vague, it is probably no problem to make a guess. A series of treatments against the ether and the cradle can prove that although the Star God is at a disadvantage, he still has the ability to fight back and is only temporarily dormant.

At this point, Ian only has one question.

"Is the time in the cradle really synchronized with the time outside?"

Ian narrowed his eyes.

He has vaguely found the key to avoid the end and go to outer space and time.

And the offense and defense of Star God and Zhongyan finally showed to him.

The 200 million years of waiting on Ashes' path has indeed allowed Ashes Ian to wait for the most important clue...the ether, the core of everything is here. In the end, the yearning for black holes and the individual's powerlessness in space and time without ether are also revealed.

At this moment, the cyan light flow brought by the precognitive horizon has disappeared, and the prophecy of the path of ashes has completely ended.

In the virtual realm, he held a spiral sword in his hand, and the sword penetrated the chest of King Jhin, who was also shocked by the final appearance.

Witnessing everything on Ashes' path with Ian, and hearing Ian's self-questioning words, the King of Ashes came back to his senses and laughed and replied: [It's definitely not synchronized, boy, even the other possibility is... We can all use the power of black holes and virtual realms to accelerate our somatosensory time. If the Creator really planned everything, how could it not be accelerated? 】

[Our acceleration is to wait for the 'end of all meaning'... And you think that if the Creator, the Heavenly Father, really has any purpose, he must take great pains to create such a 'cradle' like we are in. Its purpose is What? 】

[Is it simply raising cute lambs in captivity? Are they raised ethically? Is it to give yourself peace of mind, or to build a huge cosmic tombstone, so you throw all the remains of fire and civilization here and pile them up? 】

Arms, legs, and limbs have begun to turn into pure white ash and flying flames, but the King of Ashes raised his head, his eyes were extremely bright, and he looked at the sky as if there were flames: [Of course not - the Father hopes that we, the "children in the cradle", can grow up to catch up with them! ]

[Then, if we catch up with them, we can leave the cradle and fight against the end with them! ]

Lowering his head, the King of Ashes looked at Ian, his eyes shining: [He wants us to fight]

[Or, I hope they want us to fight]

[In this way, everything has meaning]

Ian looked at the King of Ashes who had begun to "die". At this moment, the man who had always felt bored with his life and the meaning of his life, but had to exist anyway and wait for the "meaning to come", finally found the meaning of his life.

- Yes, yes, I have proved myself, I can burn, burn to the end of the world, burn to the end of heaven and earth.

——I can endure reincarnation, all the misfortunes of life and the loss of death.

——And in the end, I found it... I found the meaning of life that I can accept in my life!

If the King of Ashes in the Ash Path finally got the truth of everything.

Then the [now] King of Ashes already knows that his meaning in this possibility is to reveal it all to Ian Silver Peak!

The prophet who can transform the world and choose a different future... needs his battle and his existence to prepare for defeating more terrible opponents in the future and finding a better future!

He was not unwilling to accept this ending and frankly admitted his defeat.

The man, who had already enjoyed both the battle and his life, expressed his opinion to Ian: [Although the Heavenly Father is merciful, the war has reached this point and the Heavenly Father is no longer allowed to continue to be merciful - They need more power to defeat stronger enemies]

[The stagnant end and the accelerated cradle... During the time when the end was stagnant due to the disappearance of the ether, the civilization in the cradle could accelerate and give birth to more Heavenly Fathers to fight back]

[We are their descendants, or in other words, only you, only people like Ian Yinfeng, can become a new star god, and become the "helper" who walks out of the cradle and helps the star gods! ]

[This is the original intention of the cradle - the fire of the thousand stars and the existence of the perpetual motion machine are for this. In order to allow all civilizations to learn from each other, integrate with each other, and work together to create a larger home, so that the best of all civilizations can become a new Father and Creator, the Father will build a cradle.]

"You are right."

Ian nodded slightly, he drew out the spiral sword, and the King of Ashes swayed slightly and stood firm: [Until now, I understand why you are so powerful, your real purpose...]

The old man, whose body had begun to shatter, smiled and said: [From the beginning, your vision was not in us, not in Terra... but in the sky]

[Therefore, none of us prisoners on the earth can defeat you, and no one can know you]

"There is still."

Ian lowered his head slightly, smiled, and said seriously: "Don't you know it now?"

[It would be better if I knew it earlier, but it's not bad now]

Ashes and flames continued to fly, and two flames overflowed from the King of Ashes, one pure white and one red, which were two different bloods of the top seat: [This is my legacy and your trophy. With these two copies of the blood of the top seat, the blood of Absalom, the lower Feiyan land will definitely obey your orders]

[But don't care about those trash, they are all muddle-headed, with power but no dreams and goals. You don't have to be gentle after you defeat me. They are just a bunch of cheap bones who will kneel down and lick your shoes]

"I know."

Ian looked at the King of Ashes, whose body had been scattered. Without the support of the blood of the top seat, he only had a vague head left: "Do you have any wishes?"

[I am satisfied with everything] The King of Ashes smiled, but after thinking about it, he seemed to think of something interesting and suddenly laughed: [Especially seeing that in other possibilities, you are actually my adopted son, it's really interesting to think about it]

[How do you feel? Silver Peak Prophet? ] He teased: [In some possibilities, you are my adopted son? ]

The nearly dead King of Ashes no longer cares about everything. He is not provocative, but simply says whatever he thinks of.

However, he heard Ian answer seriously: "It feels good. You are indeed qualified as a godfather, and I am very happy that you can fulfill your dream."

"In this world, you and I have no relationship, and we are still enemies, but this does not mean that I will deny other parallel time and space."

"Because..."

In Ian's eyes, the extremely clear water-colored light flows, as if the endless time and space have turned into mirror glass, refracting repeatedly in those eyes.

He whispered: "All Ians, no matter what time and space, what possibilities, what ideas, what endings."

"All of them are me."

"All of them are part of [Ian]."

"Our failures, again and again, over and over again, over and over again, countless times, have accumulated into the current me who is about to succeed."

"And in this process, you all really helped me, and you are my teacher, godfather, benefactor, instructor and protector."

"I will not deny all this."

"Just like now, I will not care about all this, I will kill you mercilessly and gratefully."

The King of Ashes opened his eyes wide, and he listened to Ian's words in silence.

Although he did not say it clearly, he understood what Ian really meant... He did not think he was joking. He did admit that everything in the "prophecy" was true, and regarded everything, including the "adoptive father" that he himself thought was quite ridiculous, as part of his interpersonal relationship.

However, Ian Yinfeng admitted all this, but he would not stop his pace.

Even if he knew and admitted it, he would still take action and kill.

[You are really...] Before completely dissipating, the King of Ashes laughed with relief and joy: [You are really a ruthless but loving monster]

[Ian Silver Peak, perhaps only you can have such incredible prophetic power and know the infinite direction of the future]

[But, you can also forget it]

In the end, when the last trace of ash was dispersed, he said in a weak voice: [You don’t have to remember everything, remember all the possibilities you foresee... Those may have happened in the past, or may not happen in the future... You don’t have to remember all of them, become your Burden]

[Because you are heading for the future]

"No."

Putting down the sword, Ian slowly walked forward, stretched out his hands, and took two flames from the dissipated ashes: "I will remember everything, no matter the past or the future, no matter success or failure, I will not forget anything."

"Because I am a prophet heading for the future, a sage who will change everything."

"I will remember everything, carry everything, and then..."

"Set out on the road to the farthest place."

The morning dawn had just risen from the east, illuminating the Quiet Sea and the Absalom Mountains, but the red glow that had illuminated the entire Feiyan Land for several days gradually dimmed.

Terra 778, October 15, early morning.

One of the two kings of Feiyan Land, [Unextinguished Hellfire] King of Ashes, Dartis Absalom was defeated by the Silver Peak Prophet, Ian Silver Peak.

Returned to ashes.
