Chapter 482 The Decaying History and Journey

Another world fortress farm.

The arm that appeared in the void was chopped off. Now the four elven elders are studying this arm. However, during the study process, new hands continue to appear in the void, trying to take back the chopped arm.

"I know this situation. This is called a refresh in the game."

The prophet of the dark elf complained, and then used a field. In her field of desire, all the void arms that appeared suddenly began to tremble violently, as if they were being hit by high-voltage current and began to twist and become scorched, but they did not They did not disappear. After being fixed at their respective points, they completely ignored the four elf elders.

"Through observation, I confirmed that the actions of these arms come from desire. They most likely do not have self-thinking and logic, because there is no connection or pause from sudden appearance to sudden disappearance, and the way to deal with desire is Two kinds.”

The prophet explained and explained his abilities in his field: "The first is restraint, which is our common meditation and other learning methods. We understand everything and use reason to suppress our instincts and impulses. The second is to suppress our desires. Magnify infinitely and reach the highest level.”

“The infinite expansion of desires will lead to their own destruction. They will give priority to trying to obtain the same type of things as themselves, that is, they will give priority to self-destruction. Every cell, every element, and every soul light in the body will interact with each other. Swallow the fight.”

"And during this process, these arms, which are the outer combined images of these cells, elements, and souls, stop where they are and continue until the process of self-destruction is complete."

"This kind of field is only effective for those kind of desire monsters who have almost no reason. Don't look at me with such dangerous eyes."

The prophet shrugged and signaled that everyone could continue their research. She had already avoided the big void hand being studied when she used her domain.

Shay looked at those void hands. Although these hands were very similar to the physical arms that appeared in the Night Disaster, the two were not of the same level. That kind of physical arms could only be used as brick-moving slaves and had physical properties. , and although this hand of the void was "cut off" by several elven elders using elven magic, it still did not have physicality.

It can touch the elf, but if the elf touches it for too long, it will find that the arm becomes like gas and cannot be touched, and it also becomes like a mold-piercing object with no collision volume, and will be directly and seamlessly stuck. past.

Of course, the dialog box that appeared on this arm made Shay and several other elders silent and only felt creepy.

[The hand of the original elves: It is obviously an arm in nothingness, but it seems to come from the original elves. They seem to have been longing for something, thus turning into a kind of disaster memory. 】

Shay's brain was working rapidly. He felt that since the disaster, his memory was recovering faster and faster, and some knowledge he had forgotten in the past was being quickly recalled.

“Stretch out your hands to pray/get a description that seems to have appeared in an ancient elf book.” I have always felt that these hands of the void represent some kind of will, and it seems that there is always something watching us secretly. ""

Shay murmured, and his shadow suddenly became longer and longer.

And Xie Yi walked up to the great elder who was emitting light, and glanced at his own shadow illuminated by the oblique light source.

【New unlockable characters discovered. 】

[Shadow of Eternity: A clone of the God of Divine Creation, with the same authority and divine power. Under his influence, your memory is recovering, but this recovery is only temporary. The corrosive influence of the abyss over the past ten thousand years is fading rapidly. , this explosive memory seems to lead to something bad. 】

[He can eat spoiled food, which will not cause a decrease in life or satiety, but once he leaves the shadow area, his mental value will continue to decrease. He is afraid of strong light. When he gains memory and knowledge, his mental value will continue to decrease. Go higher, and with full mental energy, additional hidden knowledge can be refreshed at certain intervals. 】

[Don’t expose him. Once exposed, he will be recycled by the memory world. 】

The God's clone in the shadow probably didn't expect to be able to see the game prompt box and learn the reason for the memory recovery. It turned out that an external device was connected.

The clone of the God of Divine Creation, a very dangerous entry, and when exactly did this guy lurk in his shadow?

At present, it seems that as an unlockable character, there is a high probability that he is not his enemy, because when Shay looks at the prophet, the great elder, and the great explorer, they all have similar prompt boxes on their bodies.

In this dangerous world, I can see the game prompts, which makes the original "crisis" much reduced.

What can be touched, what cannot be touched, and what things might hold clues, like the severed arm.

"I thought about terrible things."

Shay looked at the others: "Do you know the book "Initial Conjectures about the Elf World"?"

"This book was written by a great elf scholar a long time ago, so it still uses ancient elf writing."

The writing of elves has also undergone changes, which is not surprising. Just like short-lived species like humans, the writing can change three or four times in just a few thousand years, while the writing of elves can easily change for more than ten thousand years. The lifespan of the text, the evolution, addition, and deletion of words, has gone through countless generations.

So much so that in the "Language" column of the elves themselves, apart from the unique scripts of each sub-race of elves, each elf race has at least five or more native scripts, and many textbooks are too old and must be Rewrite it frequently, otherwise students will not understand what is written on it.

"Initial Conjectures on the Elf World" comes from the Elf Book half a million years ago. Since it is not a formal textbook but an unpopular extracurricular reading, no one has re-edited the content.

The sand elves who can understand don't need to re-edit it, but the other sub-species of elves don't read it at all, let alone re-editing it.

Young elves are not interested in such books.

But Shea had researched the book before, and it contained some pretty bizarre speculations.

For example, the birth of the original elves was not entirely due to the curse of the ancient gods, but because the original elves themselves were something else.

The curse of the ancient gods was an accident, which made the soil the carrier of the original elves, and they were afraid of and asking for something. The enemy of the original elves was set as a forgotten ancient god in the book, and this story The source is a broken slate, which was later found by the sand elves and placed in the Sand Sea Museum.

"Ancient records: Desire from the beginning swallowed up fear and made it a visible spirit."

"We all know now that the ancient gods don't care about things like elves at all. They are too busy throwing excuses to care about others. The blasphemers have already arrived at the door and are still making curses."

"But if you follow some settings in this book and what I saw in the prompt box before."

Shay was silent for a moment.

"The original elves first gave up their shadows, and the shadows turned into night. The original elves then gave up their eyes, and their eyes turned into light; the original elves gave up their blood, and the blood fell to the ground and turned into desert. The original elves gave up their veins, and those Veins become plants.”

“Their anger became fire, their fear became frost, their terror became darkness, their ears became storms, their breath became lightning, their mouths became mountains, their shouts became Become wings.”

"It's all right."

This kind of story, which sounds like a creation myth casually written by the wrong god, was recorded in the "Initial Conjecture of the Elf World", and everything I am experiencing now is almost consistent with what was written in that book.

All the abandoned things became elves, and when all the elves came to the same place again, the ending was recorded in that book——

"Nothing will be reorganized, everything will rot."

The great elder scratched his head: "I have also read this book. The text is obscure and the content of the story is like an ordinary creation myth. The same template can be found in the histories and legends of many races, just like the Great Flood. "

"I always thought this was the wrong standard format used by God to create the living world. Just like when we give out certificates to students, only the name column is different, and the other contents are printed the same."

The Sand Elf Great Explorer touched his chin: "Generally speaking, the ending of this kind of story is that the scattered parts return and then combine into a combined god of war. How come in our race, everyone rots together?"

"By the way, is it just decay? This word is very strange. Why not annihilation or doomsday? When we read it before, we thought it was because we are all plants. But now it seems that we are nothing. We are the incarnation of these disasters?"

"Hey! I am a natural disaster!"

Even if history was overturned, the elders did not show any signs of breaking their defenses. This is probably because the elves have been studying history for too long, studying their own history as well as the history of others, and were invited to witness history, so I don’t know how many races have been overturned in their history, but now they are just overturning their own.

"Rotten things cannot be supported. Generally speaking, like pillars and tree houses, if they rot, no matter how tall the tree is, it will collapse and cause casualties and property losses."

Shay thought, with the help of the power of Eternal Shadow, his mind was extremely active and flashbacks occurred frequently. Those flashback memories were not his own, but came from the entire memory world!

He informed others of his situation!

"I was in the middle of these flashbacks. Oh! I just saw something interesting! What was that, a moss-covered stone man? Did he rot away?"

Xie Yi was stunned. In the flashback of his memory, he saw the moss stone elf, but the elf was in a state of decay and decay. The stone was as viscous as liquid and melted, and the moss turned black and squirmed. There were fine tentacles spreading inside the broken chest.

"I understand." Shay took a deep breath: "We have nothing to fear from death, whether in the virtual world or the real world, but when it comes to the abstract concept of corruption affecting reality, there is only one answer. , just like the erosion of the abyss, the first thing to be lost is our sanity.”

"Then, it's our bodies and the images we have. Finally, the extinction of the elven race is not death, but transformation into another brand-new creature, and the concept of elves will also be in everyone's cognition. Gradually becoming corrupted into a kind of polluted knowledge, this is our end.”

"And our history, throughout the entire universe, our history will get out of control. Of course, for the gods and the universe itself, and even for some abstract mortals, the history of the elves is not worth mentioning."

"In other words, we are corrupt now and we don't know it!"

"Well--"

After Shay finished speaking, suddenly the realm in the distance was lifted!

The prophet of the dark elves suddenly stood up and fainted, as if he had been struck by a sap!

"Well"

The mossy stone elf covered his head, feeling that his memory was gradually blurring and distorting.

"It seems that I am about to die, and like my compatriots, my death is unknown."

The mossy stone elf looked at the Eternal Messenger, and the Eternal Messenger was already facing a formidable enemy!

"Savior, something is wrong with you!" The Eternal Messenger saw the corrupt changes in the Moss Stone Elf, and the latter seemed to be unaware of all this. It was not until the Eternal Messenger reminded him that the Moss Stone Elf noticed the changes in himself. .

"Although it is untimely, if you need it, I should give you a blessing." The Eternal Messenger said after considering: "Although I have lost my divine power, it is just a small blessing, just like blessing those hounds, with the heroic spirit Strength can still keep you in peak and normal condition.”

"Hey, that's just an illusion." The moss stone elf suddenly laughed: "God, don't you know it yourself? What you see in eternity is just false, especially in memory, covering the memory of the future with the past memory, So what?"

"What is eternal is the memory of the past, while the memory of the future is still decaying and destroying. You just let everyone see what they want to see, but you cover up the truth."

The Eternal Messenger's tone became a little wary: "You initially said that history would be distorted, but now I have some thoughts. Is all our history just your memory?"

"When your memory is distorted, history is also distorted! If this is the case, then our history is simply a joke, no different from what is made up in storybooks."

The Mossy Stone Elf stared at the Eternal Messenger and shook his head:

"This is how the inherited memory works. When I die, if you continue to be the savior, assuming you succeed in becoming like me, then the historical memory of the elves will be based on your memory."

"But your divine power is just to shape false history. The real history is hidden and continues to move forward, and the history of the elves is completely destroyed. So I don't recommend you to be like me, and you don't seem to have thought about it that way."

"But don't worry too much. I bought a lot of useful magical props from the supermarket. For example, this unclean calendar and the unclean god's calendar can postpone my illness until the holidays. The correct way to use it is if If I have a day off all year round, I won’t get sick or get into an abnormal state.”

"Stabilize my state temporarily. We have calmed down the source of the night. Then the dark elves should have fallen into a coma. It is time for us to go to the next location."

The Mossy Stone Elf held the coupon in his hand, and the Eternal Messenger pondered for a while:

".If you turn into a disaster, I will cut you."

The moss stone elf was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, but in that case you will become the savior. If you are unwilling to do it, it is best to find a new elf to help, but that will be very troublesome."

"If you cut me off, new elves will appear in reality. The world is approaching the end, and there should be no need to add new elves to suffer."

"Let's move on. This journey will be over soon. When the world becomes extremely quiet, everything will be over."

"Everything you take from desire will eventually be given back."

He took another careful and serious look at the Eternal Messenger, with a strange sense of relief in his tone:

"And history is no joke."

"Even if the history of your ancestors is ugly and false, everything you have experienced, those disasters, what you have saved, what you have witnessed, what you have encountered, what you have rejoiced at, what you have fought hard for. Those are your history, others You can’t interfere, it’s real.”

"History is actually not memory, but what people are experiencing. Infinite numbers of people and gods meet, encounter, and collide with each other. What is formed is history, which belongs to the universe and to all things themselves."

"The elves were born out of imagination and fear, and finally turned into a truly existing, beautiful and brave race. Isn't this good?"
