Chapter 1733 Annihilation of Reincarnation

The world has been destroyed before.

Yet only few people know this.

"For most mediocre ordinary people in this world, 'the world' is stable and eternal," Constance's voice sounded flat and indifferent, and she spoke in a completely straightforward tone. The incredible truth, "The alternation of day and night, the cycle of seasons, the growth of all things, the cycle of life and death. In the limited and short life of most people, such things will happen and repeat in strict accordance with the laws of nature. For them, 'the world was once destroyed'" 'This matter is not only unbelievable, but more like a fantasy. They cannot understand it and will not understand it - and if they are forced to realize this matter, the only result will be panic. . Therefore, no one will mention this truth unless it is among the inheritors."

She didn't pay attention to the expressions on the faces of Charlemagne and Evana, but continued to herself: "Our world has been destroyed, and more than once - it is not the kind of world war that led to the destruction of the kingdom as you thought." Small things', not even the annihilation of certain races, but the complete collapse and disintegration of the entire world in a real sense.

"Since a long, long time ago, so long ago that even the inheritors can't confirm what happened at the beginning, a powerful and terrifying force has been entrenched in this world. We don't know its origins, nor do we know why it happened. To destroy everything, just know that our first ancestors called it 'annihilation', and it was 'annihilation' that led to the first destruction of the world.

"Do you know? The world is actually very big, so big that you can't imagine it - it was originally far more than just one planet... small. Before annihilation came, there were countless planets like Lahirion. They are all called planets, and there are stars far more massive than planets, and celestial bodies far more massive than stars floating in the world, which the ancestors called the universe.

"And Annihilation caused the extinction of the first universe - tearing the entire universe into pieces in a way that no mortal can understand.

"That's the First Age."

Constance was silent for a moment, and then Evana couldn't help but say: "So, are we the survivors after that?"

Constance laughed, with a coldness in her smile: "How could it be so beautiful - it can be said that there were no survivors at all in the first era.

"The real end of the world will not be so 'gentle'. It is not like a war between humans. You can dig a big enough cave or build a castle and survive. When the entire universe begins to collapse, Even the stars will be extinguished in an instant, and there is no refuge in the world for you to survive. In the first era, the oldest ancestors were already very powerful. They could even span the entire universe in an instant, and they could create or extinguish at will. They can even add and delete stars, large and small, at will in the structure of time and space to create private kingdoms floating on the edge of the real world - but even such powerful ancestors cannot save the doomsday crisis when annihilation comes. .The universe of the First Era was torn to pieces, and the once glorious civilization was also destroyed. Nothing survived at all.

"But the real nightmare is what happens after that."

Constance took a deep breath, as if even she couldn't help but shudder when she said certain things.

Charlemagne asked impatiently: "What happened after that?"

"After the destruction of the first era, our world was reshaped," Constance said slowly. "A new era was born on the ruins after the collapse of the universe, and everything reappeared - and annihilation also appeared. .”

Charlemagne and Evana looked at each other, and even Hao Ren couldn't help but look at Vivian: the situation seemed to be different from what he had initially guessed.

Evana's face turned a little pale: "How many times has this happened?"

"I don't know," Constance shook her head, "There have been too many times, and the eternal soul cannot bear such loss. We only know that this world has been destroyed more than once, and then rebuilt amidst the ruins and debris. , and the process is similar every time: the reshaped world will run smoothly at first, making people even doubt that true peace has arrived, but annihilation will inevitably appear after that, pushing the world into the abyss of destruction.

"And every time Annihilation comes, there will be a war called the 'Change of Era'. This war is inevitable, because it is not us who provoke the war, but 'Annihilation'. It will corrode the world. The most powerful warriors and release countless monsters from the nightmare world. These minions feed on the world and will inevitably sweep everything. In order to survive, and to leave a glimmer of hope after the turn of the era, we will Rise up and resist.

"But no matter how fierce the resistance of human beings, annihilation will eventually destroy everything. The war will become more and more intense, and there will be more and more monsters. The dust will not settle until the moment when the order of the world is broken and everything is devoured by madness.

"It's like a reincarnation, constantly destroyed and then reborn. The end seems to have come long ago, but it seems to have never ended - we fought one after another, and each time we were able to successfully complete the change of eras and continue in the next era. Those who come down must be the most tenacious, fearless and powerful ethnic group among mankind. However, in the next era, these strong people will inevitably become the new carriers of annihilation - the saviors will eventually become the destroyers and be replaced by the new ones. The rebels are struck down, and this is the turn of the era.

"Another consequence of the change of eras is the constant 'loss' of the world."

"After all, we are 'defective products' rebuilt from the wreckage of the universe. Every such reshaping will lead to the continuous loss of something similar to the original, and the specific manifestation is that the level of the world is falling again and again. As the level of civilization continues to decline, so does the level of our civilization.

"Do you still remember the 'inheriters' and 'eternal souls' that I just kept emphasizing? That refers to the souls that can complete the change of eras and still exist after the world is reshaped. Although the world will be destroyed, the tangible body The body will also die, but some remnants of the soul will always survive and be passed on to the next era with memories - and the hope of preserving this continuity is what the inheritors continue to resist in the end of the world. The greatest motivation. But all this will be lost, and it will be lost along with the world.

"In the first era-changing war, we fought on the endless battlefield of time and space. After that, we resisted annihilation among the stars. After several times, we could only fight in one galaxy. After that, We can only huddle in the shadow of the planet, relying on the battle satellite group to resist the monsters that continuously pour out from the center of the star - and after the change of epochs, we finally retreated to the surface, and our weapons became swords. And with spears, our battlefields can't even leave the atmosphere.

"One day, the turn of the ages will take place in a city, in a town, on a piece of rubble, and the last man and the last monster may fight with bare hands, tooth and nail - and if they both fall Well, that might be the real relief.”

Constance's story finally came to an end.

Hao Ren knew that what Constance told must not be the whole truth - it was not that the princess was hiding something, but that she simply did not know the whole truth.

Because the memories passed down by the inheritors are disappearing, this ancient civilization is gradually shrinking together with the universe. The once vast sea of ​​stars now only has a chaotic dark realm and the only planet "Lahrien". So what is left of those "inheritors" who have survived the changes of eras and continue to this day?

I'm afraid Constance herself doesn't quite understand the meaning of the concepts she described - most of the inheritors like her have simply forgotten what the starry sky looks like, and don't remember the time when they traveled across the star sea. They just remember. They lived through the wars and spoke out some sporadic words that even they themselves did not understand the meaning of.

As for Charlemagne and Evanna, they raised their heads after a long silence. Charlemagne pointed to the platinum scepter still floating in the air: "This scepter has always been kept by the Ys royal family, so we are also... …”

"The inheritor, however, is the inheritor who has been cut off." Constance nodded lightly. "In fact, I didn't know that you retained this 'legacy' before today, and I was prepared to find ways to find this power on my own." The whereabouts of the staff - your father probably suddenly awakened due to the influence of the change of eras, and a little memory emerged from the depths of his soul, so he sent you here, but you... obviously have no memory of the ancient times. there is none left."

Charlemagne laughed self-deprecatingly: "In other words, we are among the group of people who are not qualified to participate in the change of eras, nor are we eligible to be continued in the next era, right - if what you are talking about is not a fantasy. Story words.”

"Everyone is qualified to participate in the change of eras, because this is a challenge that all living beings must face," Constance glanced at Charlemagne, "But you really can't continue anything... Your ancient memories have been erased, and your souls cannot No matter how eternal it is, even if you participate in the change of eras and win with me, in the new era... you will not remember me."

Charlemagne opened his mouth to say something, but Evana next to him said first: "This is a kind of luck."

"Yes, great luck," Constance looked at the princess of Ys. "There is no need to continue to face the truth. There is nothing happier than ignorance."

After digesting all this huge amount of information, Hao Ren let out a long sigh: "Oh, so your history... is a flashback."

He finally understood what those "reverberations" from different levels of civilization, different timelines, and different world lines were about.

It turns out that it is not that many destroyed worlds are stacked together, nor that the remains of different civilizations are intertwined with each other. There is only one universe facing the end from the beginning to the end - but it has been destroyed more than once.

"Flashback? Not a bad idea," Constance raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Hao Ren, "But why do you say 'our history'?"

"No, it's nothing," Hao Ren deflected the minor slip of the tongue, "About the change of eras... I have a few questions."
