Chapter 1947 Accidents and Misunderstandings
After hearing Gaia's words, Leo immediately thought of the records about him from the Supreme Council of the Universe in his mind. At that time, he just thought that these were just ordinary records, but now it seems that the Supreme Council of the Universe is paying attention to him. It's not as simple as he thought.
Leo asked tentatively: "So you keep recording my experiences, including every life after rebirth?"
Gaia admitted: "Yes, all the lives you have experienced in the universe have been recorded by us."
Leo asked again: "So is there any result?"
Gaia shook her head and said: "No, there will be no results until the universe collapses! However, when the universe collapsed, something abnormal happened to you."
Leo was stunned and said, "Do you suspect that the collapse of the universe is because of me?"
"Of course not. The collapse of the universe is inevitable. No matter how you change it, the final result will not change at all. The only thing that changes is what will be left after the collapse of the universe." As Gaia spoke, she raised her hand and wiped it in the air. After a moment, the scene in front of them changed instantly. They arrived at the top of a mountain, surrounded by starry sky above their heads. Countless star fields, nebulae, and galaxies were shrunk countless times before their eyes, as if the entire universe was in full view.
Gaia looked at Leo with deep meaning and said: "In the countless collapses of the universe in the past, the relics we were able to preserve in the end were very few, even less than the relics you have seen, but the time sequence in which you appeared gave When the universe collapsed, you actually took away part of the origin of the universe and brought it into the subspace. This is a result that we have never had before when we looked back in time."
Leo listened, with a surprised expression on his face, and then said in disbelief: "You mean this World Tree originated from me..."
"Yes, it's the part of the origin of the universe you brought out." Gaia nodded, then stretched out his hand, tapped Leo's forehead, and said, "You should have been unconscious at the time and had no idea what was going on. , I’ll let you see for yourself now.”
Although Leo could still hear Gaia's voice, his attention was completely focused on the various images that could not be described in words that quickly emerged in his mind.
He saw countless stars in the Sagittarius galaxy colliding with each other, collapsing, and merging. He saw the Cepheus galaxy being swallowed up by an extremely huge black hole. He saw a force from a higher dimension cutting dozens of stars into each other like cutting a cake. A galaxy was cut into pieces, but all these scenes were far inferior to the light that bloomed at the moment when the universe finally collapsed.
It is not appropriate to say that it is light. It should be energy, an energy that can easily tear apart any time and space. However, although this energy is powerful, it is short-lived. It is so short that only beings like Gaia, the mother of the earth, can capture it. Got a glimpse of the scene.
Obviously this should be the scene that Earth Mother Gaia saw before the destruction of the universe, but Leo could feel that what he saw was not all, because the same scene would be distorted due to his own life level and common sense. In another form that he could understand, the scene of destruction of the universe that Earth Mother Gaia saw was absolutely different from what he saw.
However, these are not important, because the earth mother Gaia has imprinted these images in his brain. When his life level evolves again and his understanding of the universe deepens again, he will go back and reawaken the memory in this imprint. When viewing images, he will certainly be able to see more content.
Moreover, for Leo, these images are enough for him to digest for a long time, because they contain the most primitive mysteries and powers of the universe, and even involve higher-dimensional powers, which are difficult for him to understand and master now. s things.
However, these things are temporarily put aside. What he needs to know now is where in these images is the part of the image that Gaia said he brought out part of the origin of the universe before the universe collapsed. Logically speaking, it should be in the universe. In the image of the moment of collapse, he had seen that image repeatedly, but could not see anything.
Perhaps it was because the blank expression on Leo's face gave Gaia a hint. He thought that due to the limitations of his life form, he could not see the image he wanted Leo to see, so at this time, he gently touched Leo with his hand. He wiped his eyes and said, "If you can't see it yourself, just use my eyes to see it."
Almost at the same time as Gaia's voice fell, the image of the collapsing universe in front of Leo's eyes changed amazingly, becoming completely different from before. He saw countless laws of the universe being released at the moment of collapse, and he saw At the same time as this scene happened, the imprint of these laws was also imprinted on my mind. Such a huge amount of information poured in, just like an asteroid in the universe facing the energy turbulence sweeping across the galaxy. It was torn into pieces and destroyed. The only ending.
Fortunately, the body of the Stone Throne sensed the danger and appeared in time to take over the impact for Leo, directly introducing these laws of the universe into the Stone Throne. Leo, who was hiding behind the Stone Throne, also saw the infinite laws hidden under it. That's what Gaia wanted him to see.
He saw the stone throne, and saw a life form that could not be described in words sitting on the stone throne. But the moment he saw that life form, he knew that it was the light of origin.
He also saw that the light of origin and the stone throne blocked the terrifying energy generated at the moment of the universe's collapse, captured countless completely shattered universe origins, and then escaped before the universe's collapse was completely completed.
Although in the eyes of an onlooker like him, the whole process seemed very easy, in fact, the Light of Origin sitting on the stone throne only had a slim chance of being dragged in and destroyed by the collapse of the universe, and even if he escaped, the situation would be very bad.
First of all, the Stone Throne is seriously damaged. You must know that the Stone Throne is not just a throne. There are palaces and squares around it. And the stone pillar square is thousands of times larger than Leo's current stone pillar square, and now the palace has been destroyed by the collapse of the universe. It was annihilated in the energy, and most of the square disappeared. Only a part around the stone pillars was still barely preserved, but the surface had been broken into countless pieces and seemed to be scattered at any time.
As for the body of the stone throne, it has also taken on the shape of sandstone, and all the patterns on the surface have been worn away, leaving only a layer of mottled and ugly traces.
However, compared to the Stone Throne, which still retains a little form, the situation of the Light of Origin is much worse. It has completely lost its form, leaving only a light that is so weak that it is completely invisible, wrapped around the The fragments of the origin of the world torn off.
"I am the light of origin, right?" Leo's consciousness broke away from the image in his mind, and then turned to ask Gaia, the Earth Mother.
"No, you are not the Light of Origin." Gaia denied Leo's speculation and said: "At that time, the Light of Origin just borrowed your immortal characteristics. However, you were assimilated with the Light of Origin in a sense. Well, from this point of view, you are indeed the light of origin." As she said that, she stretched her hand and touched it in the air, and the surrounding scene immediately changed, becoming one on a transparent platform of a temple, and below the platform. It was the World Tree. He pointed at the World Tree and said, "He is the light of origin."
Leo lowered his head and looked down at the World Tree below. He was silent for a moment and asked, "What promise did I make to you when I came here?"
Gaia once again denied Leo's guess and said: "No, you are wrong! You did not make a promise with us, you made a promise with yourself."
Leo was stunned and muttered to himself with a puzzled look on his face: "The promise you made to yourself?"
"It seems that you didn't recall that incident, or you don't want to recall it." Gaia looked at Leo, seeming to see through him, and asked, "Do you need me to help you remember it?"
Just as Gaia was speaking, Leo had already resonated with a certain part of the banned memory and awakened it because of Gaia's words.
At the moment when his memory was awakened, Leo immediately understood what happened when he first came here, and what the promise that Death God Gain mentioned that would endanger World Tree was.
Back then, after he entered the Supreme Court, what he saw was not Gaia or other giants who had survived the Supreme Council of the Universe. Except for Gaia, who had a special life form, these other giants had already fallen into infinity due to the destruction of the universe. In his deep sleep, even Gaia needed to constantly fall into dormancy to maintain life, and when he came to the Supreme Court, it happened to be when Gaia fell into dormancy.
However, the Supreme Court is not the only place where these giants of the Supreme Council of the Universe exist. There is also a special existence here, that is Leo's body, or to be more correct, it is another twin of Leo.
After the collapse of the universe, the surviving giants in the universe used the part of the origin of the universe intercepted by the Light of Origin to create the World Tree, and the Light of Origin fully integrated itself into the World Tree. In doing so, it could make up for the World Tree. It can also sow countless cosmic civilizations contained in the light of origin into the World Tree in the form of seeds and fruits.
After the light of origin was integrated into the World Tree, he still retained two things, one was the damaged stone throne, and the other was the characteristics of the immortal. Because the three were once integrated when the universe collapsed, all three were Containing a trace of each other's original characteristics, and when the Light of Origin still existed, the three were all dominated by the Light of Origin, but the moment the Light of Origin was completely integrated into the World Tree, the remaining two things were conceived on their own. Of the two lives, the one born from the Immortal was Leo, and the one born from the Stone Throne was the being on the Stone Throne that Leo mistakenly thought of as his own body.
As an immortal, Leo has had countless rebirth experiences. After he was conceived, he directly used the ability of random rebirth to enter the gestating worlds of the World Tree and be reborn in a life inside. In other words, When the World Tree gave birth to the world, he had already walked in these worlds in different ways of life, but for some unknown reason, this memory was completely missing. It was not until he was reborn in the world of Velen that he had the corresponding memory, and I also remembered some things from the past.
Compared to Leo, the life born from the Stone Throne is not so lucky. He cannot leave the Supreme Court, because as long as he leaves the Supreme Court, he will immediately merge with the Stone Throne and can only stay forever. Sitting on a stone throne.
However, it doesn't matter that he can't leave the stone throne, because the origins of each other are interconnected, so that he can also experience everything that Leo has experienced, and have the emotions that Leo has. In other words, he can be regarded as another person. Leo has no problem at all.
It was also because of this that when Leo came to the Supreme Court and met another self, after explaining his purpose, he quickly agreed to sit on the Stone Throne to help Sylvia, who was trapped in the last step, complete the final transformation of the Abyss Lord.
However, while agreeing to Leo's proposal, he also asked Leo to promise that after Leo solved Sylvia's problem, he would return to the Stone Throne and kill him completely.
Because as he merged with the Stone Throne, the most important defect in the origin of the Stone Throne was made up, and the Stone Throne became constantly restored. Although it is impossible to restore to its original appearance in a short time, if it only needs to restore even one tenth, then the Stone Throne will have a very serious impact on everything around it.
For example, the ruins of the Supreme Council of the Universe are now collapsing on a large scale because the power of the Stone Throne is recovering. If the power of the Stone Throne continues to recover, the ruins of the Supreme Council of the Universe will inevitably collapse completely, and the Supreme Court will also sink with the Stone Throne under the power of the Stone Throne. When it finally sinks to the World Tree, the World Tree is very likely to be destroyed. This is why the Death God Gain mentioned that the promise will affect the survival of the World Tree.
If Gaia had not fallen asleep at that time, He would have stopped Leo and the others from making the decision, but unfortunately when Gaia woke up, everything was too late.
He could not kill the life form of the Stone Throne either, because as mentioned in the promise, only Leo, who also possessed the power of the Stone Throne and the characteristics of the Undead, could truly kill that life form.
However, the most surprising thing is that after Sylvia became the Lord of the Abyss, Leo was going to go to the Stone Throne to sit in the domain and kill that life form as promised, but Leo encountered random teleportation and lost part of his memory, and this lost part of the memory happened to be the part that was promised. Instead, he only remembered to restore the power of the Stone Throne. The way to restore the power of the Stone Throne is to collect the seeds of civilization, because the seeds of civilization produced in all the worlds of the World Tree contain traces of the power of the light of origin. The more civilized races collected, the faster the Stone Throne will recover. This is why the power of the Stone Throne itself has almost recovered in just over a thousand years.
