Chapter 864: The Ring Country and the Destiny’s Tail
Ring Country.
There are many extinct species here, but these species that have disappeared in the years are still created and preserved here with a special force, dating back to the trilobites hundreds of millions of years ago.
It is said that there were no plants on the earth at that time, but wisdom had gradually stepped onto the land from the ocean.
Saren: "Ancient Era, Ancient Era, so we are already the third era to be opened?"
Baha Baili: "Before that, what was everything like?"
Helfas said: "Who knows, maybe the Supreme God threw a broken stone from the Kingdom of God, and it became our world?"
The three people looked at each other and laughed, but there was some unspeakable meaning in their smiles.
They knew a lot of things.
Gods are not necessarily kind, and the myth of creation may just be a boring toy game, and the world is just someone's garden.
Bahabeli: "Maybe some things are not worth thinking about. We always like to imagine many things too beautifully and add some unnecessary halos, and use our perspective to shape the world. In fact, this world is not as meaningful as we imagine it to be."
Helfas said: "The world just operates according to its rules. It has no emotions and does not change because of your views. It only tells you a truth and result."
"Bahabeli."
"You used your perspective and views to shape and beautify these things, but when the precise facts and truth are always delivered to you with the operation of the world, your ideas have changed dramatically."
"Your views are constantly changing, sometimes beautifying the facts, sometimes vilifying the past, but all of this may not be the facts and the truth."
Bahabeli: "Then what are the facts and the truth?"
Helfas: "The fact is that the world was born, we exist here, and we are still moving forward."
After saying this, Helfas no longer thought about this problem, he strode forward.
Said: "Go forward!"
The world in his eyes is more foggy than Bahabeli. He carries more secrets than the other party. He often falls into various confusions, but after knowing it, apart from remembering it, the only way left is to move forward.
It doesn't matter how you look at it. The fact is that this world is moving forward with the years, and you are also moving forward. This is the truth that cannot be erased.
There is a temple at the end of the stone road across the lake.
The statue of Anessa is enshrined in the temple, and there is also the mark of the giant god Ruhe. These people really believe in Anessa.
The strong man of the God-Shaped Man walked into the temple. After praying to the statue of Anessa, he turned his head and looked at Helfas and the other two.
After so long, he seemed to finally remember to formally introduce his identity.
"My name is Juan, and I am the leader of the sect that believes in the witch Anessa."
Helfas nodded, but he also added a sentence.
"The existence of your faith has been driven out of this world by other witches, and your situation doesn't look good."
Although they don't seem to have any big problems now, Helfas doesn't think that other witches will allow such a group of faith defectors to move freely in the world.
But Helfas has a bigger question, why didn't this guy escape to the kingdom of the gods with Enissa?
But this can also be explained.
Maybe the situation was hasty, or maybe the power of other witches was too strong, so it was too late!
Juan: "It's not expulsion, it's leaving."
And at this time, a small episode was born.
A person walked in and said to Juan under the statue of Enissa.
"Today's trial is about to begin."
Helfas and the other two looked at each other. They all heard what they just said, but they didn't know what the trial was. Could it be that this country with only so many "people" still has laws and people responsible for maintaining the laws?
Juan noticed the expressions of the three people and spoke first: "They are a few people who left their rings and even wanted to escape from the Ring Country. This is not allowed in our country."
Sarenen laughed: "The existence of your faith wants to escape from this world and be punished by the witch, but you are also playing this trick?"
Juan said: "How can this be the same."
Bahabeli also said: "You are really strict with others and lenient with yourself."
Finally, Helfas made a round: "This is someone else's internal affairs, we have no right to interfere."
Juan recovered from his rage, he snorted coldly, and then went to deal with his own affairs.
He did not expel Helfas and the other two, and the three of them really stayed shamelessly.
Perhaps those who can be kings naturally have an iron face, just like Helfas, who used to always wear an iron face, and now he has changed to a thicker helmet on his head.
There was movement outside the temple.
The residents in the city appeared one by one, and on this special day they finally left their rings.
Then, a scarred figure was brought in, bound by a set of extraordinary chains, with hooks in his body. Not to mention extraordinary power, he couldn't even release his own body. A professional with life power could only be bound by force in this way.
In the temple, Juan presided over the trial.
The whole process was very rough. He slapped the criminal who wanted to escape from the ring country, slapped the struggling opponent on the ground, and then announced on behalf of the majesty of the gods.
"Lady Anissa created you, and you actually want to betray the world and escape from her. You are his possessions, how dare you do this."
"In the name of Lady Anissa, I sentence you to death."
It was a bit shocking to hear the death penalty as soon as he opened his mouth.
However, this was not the end yet, Juan continued.
"Plus ten thousand years in prison."
"You will become a beast ringer in your next life. Your body will be cast into a beast ring village outside the city. Your head will be suppressed under the underground stone and will not be allowed to move. You will not be allowed to leave there for ten thousand years, and you must fight for it every year. Ring City provides a certain number of beasts, and..."
It turns out that the villages and towns outside the city were born in this way, and the entire ring country relied on such a simple but very rough order to maintain its operation.
This was the first time that Helfas saw the punishment of a prison sentence after being sentenced to death, but he could probably understand what Juan meant.
But he still said: "It doesn't seem like he's going to live that long."
Juan said: "The species of life will not die. Not to mention that it can live for ten thousand years, but it will be no problem even longer."
Helfas: "You are saying that the mistakes he made can be traced back to the next reincarnation."
Juan: "Do you mean to say that he will no longer be him after reincarnation, so he no longer has to be responsible for the crimes he once committed?"
He added: "This excuse is not easy to use here, or does the Black King also want to be our king?"
Helfas didn't say anything more. Perhaps in the order he established, the sins of a reincarnation are generally limited to that reincarnation. Once you die and forget your memory and start a new life, you can start over.
This is true whether you are a professional in the Dragon Path, the Original Path or the Sky Path, but there are also many people who do not agree with his approach.
For example, Juan's set of punishments will probably be welcomed by many people in the land of the full moon. In addition, he is not the king here, so who has the right to interfere with other people's behavior!
So he only mentioned a few words and then fell silent.
Next.
Three extraordinary professionals were brought up in succession. No matter how they defended themselves, they were all sentenced to death, plus a term of ten thousand years.
One of them was sentenced to the longest term of 96,000 years, and the main reason for the sentence was that he escaped the farthest without permission, while the other was sentenced to 72,000 years because he was the leader. .
It turns out that sometimes running fast is not entirely a good thing.
Helfas saw them being killed, and then their bodies were taken outside the city and cast into rings, which would then become a village, or a small town.
In addition to punishment, there are also rewards in this ring country.
As the one most capable of capturing the escapees, Juan announced to him with a high voice under the gaze of Anissa's statue.
"The fern ringer."
"God has given you a mission, and I will extend your mission for 20,000 years. You can dedicate everything to God for a longer period of time in the future."
"Your fern garden can be preserved for a longer time, praise Lady Anissa!"
The three of Helfas thought the reward was something, but when Juan said this, the three of them were even more stunned.
Sorry, the three of them really can't see any big difference between this and the guys who were sentenced before.
However, the extraordinary professional named Fern Ringer, after hearing Juan's announcement, jumped up with joy, almost bursting into tears with excitement, and praised Anissa loudly.
This scene made the three Helfas people even more confused.
Helfas asked the fern ringer: "Is there any difference between you and those people just now?"
Fern Ringer: "One is punishment and the other is reward."
Herfas: "So, what's the difference, just because one is called punishment and the other is called reward?"
Fern ringer: "Of course it's different. One is pressed into the soil outside the city, and the other is inside the city, and at least he can move freely within his own ring. This is a huge difference."
"They are prisoners and we are free."
After saying that, he left with satisfaction.
With his 20,000-year reward, there are also the envious looks of others.
Helfas, Salonen, and Bahabali found it a bit funny. The prisoners in the larger city laughed at the prisoners in the villages and towns outside the city. The prisoners who could move freely in the circle despised the prisoners buried in the soil. , they call themselves free.
How to make a group of people feel free? As long as some people are imprisoned, another group of people will feel free.
My freedom lies even more than yours!
Freedom has been defined ever since.
However, in the eyes of the three people, except for Juan, everyone in this so-called ring country is a prisoner.
wrong.
Even Juan is a prisoner.
Helfas and the three of them looked at each other, wanting to laugh at this funny scene, and grinning at the fern-ringer's declaration of freedom.
But just as the three of them were about to say that the fern ringer dared to shout for freedom, they quickly fell into deep thought, because they suddenly realized that their behavior was not that of another fern ringer?
perhaps.
At this moment, there may be another group of beings, looking down upon them and laughing at the three "Fern Ringers".
And Helfas turned around and looked at the statue of Enissa.
He suddenly thought of another level. He didn't think Enissa would not be unaware of the farce of the Ring Country, so why did she do this?
Is this Ring Country Enissa's interpretation of this world? What is she expressing in this way?
But what's the point of this?
Who is she performing for? What's the point of seeing it?
He stared at the other's stone statue, and the beautiful but arrogant face also appeared vividly in his mind.
He said in his heart.
"You don't think that I can do anything just because I see it."
"I'm just a Fern Ringer. I can be freer than others and live in the circle. It's very comfortable for me now."
--
No matter what.
Helfas finally figured out the ability of this path. He initially called it the snake path. However, the various forms of this profession are not necessarily just snakes, but various animal forms. The most common ones are beasts, lizards, and snakes.
Under this path, the profession that masters the first law is called the Ringer.
At the first level, they can adapt to various environments and even have various special abilities according to the environment. For example, they will generate skin that is not afraid of fire near magma volcanoes, have the ability to resist extreme cold in the cold polar regions, and gradually grow limbs with strong climbing abilities in the mountains and ridges, and so on.
At the second level, he will circle a certain species into his body, raise it in his body, and become a part of his symbiosis. Both parties will undergo some changes and adaptive evolution together.
At the third level, he will coil in a special ecological environment, and his symbiotic species will gradually transform this ecological environment, and gradually transform from an ordinary species to possess extraordinary power, and finally he himself will be integrated with the entire ecological environment.
Helfas sorted and classified the information he collected, and roughly determined these contents.
How should I describe the feeling that this path gave Helfas? There was a feeling of natural selection and survival of the fittest, just like those eliminated species, which disappeared in the years because they could not adapt to the new environment.
And the existence of this profession, they will continue to evolve various abilities with the changes in the environment and ecology, and finally even integrate into the ecosystem of the species step by step, and may even transform the ecosystem of the species.
Probably.
This is also another interpretation of the evolution of life.
The purpose of this trip can be said to have been initially completed, but although he knew the professional ability of this path, Helfas still did not find the answer. If so, what did Anissa do to him?
At least he did not find a similar situation in the above content. Could it be that the other party circled himself into her body and became a symbiotic species, but Helfas thought it was not the case, at least the ability of the ringer could not explain this.
In the temple.
He wore the evil beast helmet.
But he could still see that the radiation force field was constantly assimilating him deeply, and he was running out of time.
He decided to take some risks and ask Juan this question directly.
Helfas, who was originally staring at the statue of Enissa, lowered his head and looked at Juan who had finished the trial, and asked with inductive force.
"So, what about the professionals who master other laws under your path?"
Helfas even used the unique power of wisdom to quietly read the other party's thoughts and consciousness.
But the other party was not the kind of existence that knew nothing about Helfas before. It can even be said that Juan knew Helfas's ability very well, so he was discovered by the other party directly.
Moreover, the other party also had means to counter Helfas's mind-reading power, so that Helfas could not feel the slightest fluctuation of the other party's thoughts.
Juan: "Black King Helfas, prying into other people's minds is an extremely rude act, and it can even be regarded as an attack on me."
Helfas did not retreat after being exposed. He was not a guest, and the two sides were not friends and guests.
Enissa had left some hidden hands on him before. He came to find problems and was even prepared for a conflict from the beginning.
He said, "I want to know some secrets."
Juan: "I know what you want to know."
Before Helfas spoke, the other party continued.
"I can tell you about the part I know."
So next, Juan told Helfas the second profession of the snake path.
"The first profession is the ringer, which can also be called the ringer of life, and the second is the entangler, also known as the entangler of the world or the star."
"It can be entangled in a certain world, or even on a certain star. I think you should have known what kind of majestic form it will be in the end."
After saying this, Juan looked at the mark deep in the temple.
Helfas certainly knew that the position they were in at the moment was not a mountain range entangled in a majestic star and an incredible world?
Helfas was thoughtful, and at this time Juan continued.
"I heard there is a third type."
Herfas: "I heard?"
Juan: "Yes, because I haven't seen it yet."
Herfas: "You haven't seen it either, that's impossible, right?"
Juan: "Because this profession has not yet been born, I only heard about it from Lady Enissa, but I don't know what it is exactly, but the concept and power of it are too incredible, maybe it's just a guess and an existence that will never be born."
Herfas: "What is this profession called?"
Juan looked into Herfas' eyes and said to him.
"The Ouroboros of Destiny!"
Herfas could understand and have a certain understanding of the first type of life, the Ringer. Even if he couldn't see the whole picture of the second type of existence that entangled the world and the stars, he didn't know what kind of great power it had, but at least he could imagine part of it.
However, the last one, the Ouroboros of Destiny, sounds more like a conceptual thing.
What is destiny? It's not like a certain species of life or a certain star world. At least it's a real thing.
How can you hold the tail of something like fate, which is invisible and intangible, or wrap it around the other person?
"Fate?"
"Is there really such a profession?"
But just as the voice fell, Helfas heard a sound behind him.
He turned his head and saw that the stone statue of the Ten Thousand Snake Witch Anessa had cracked, and small pieces of stone and scattered gravel gradually slid down from the cracks.
Finally, there was a crisp sound.
"Snap!"
There was no problem in other parts of the temple, but the statue of Anessa was completely shattered, as if there was a force that was erasing the statue of Anessa and the belief in worshiping her in the world.
Helfas immediately took a step back, and Bahabeli and Salunen also left the location of the stone statue. The power was small, but too weird.
The three of them did not sense anything, and a force erased the statue of Anessa.
However, Juan, the leader of the Anessa sect, seemed to know why, and he spoke.
"The punishment from the Witch Council has arrived."
"It is only the first step to expel Lady Enissa to the darkness of the dream world. The next step is to erase her traces in the human world and her beliefs."
Sure enough.
Soon there was movement outside, and strange spore foam extended from all directions, wrapping up the entire Ring Kingdom.
Fragmentary sounds came from all around, as if there were many voices speaking, but they were all saying the same words.
"Juan!"
"You, along with the Ten Thousand Snake Witch Enissa, violated the order rules jointly set by the Witch Council, forcibly captured mythical life species with the identity and convenience of a witch, created new witches without the permission of the Witch Council, modified the life template without the permission of the Witch Council, and did not..."
"At the same time, because the Ten Thousand Snake Witch Enissa betrayed the Witch Council and abandoned her duties as a witch, she is not allowed to have beliefs and believers in the human world."
"You are sentenced now."
"You can erase your memory and enter reincarnation on your own, or be enforced by the power of nothingness."
Enissa felt that this world was a cage, and she wanted to leave.
But in the eyes of other witches, this is betrayal.
You can raise any issues at the meeting, but you are not allowed to modify them privately after the decision is made.
You can discuss any issues, but you are absolutely not allowed to overturn the table directly.
They have gone through untold hardships and paid unimaginable prices since the last era, and finally opened the dawn of this era. They will never allow anyone to destroy everything that is hard-won.
