Chapter 191

Perhaps, rather than continuing to predict disasters, if we should keep silent, more people will be saved from disasters, right?

Thinking like this, he chose to remain silent for a year.

Until the end, he finally foresaw that disaster would befall this land.

He should have informed the prince about this as soon as possible, but he hesitated...

"Because the prince loves this land, I told him that maybe he would stay here to wait for death like the people from that country he met before..."

This is a lie.

It was a lie that Lim used to convince himself.

The real reason is that he has already lost his place of refuge once, and now he doesn't want to lose it a second time.

For him, who was only fourteen years old at the time, this home was everything he imagined for beauty.

Here is everything to him.

He didn't want to see this place destroyed, and he didn't want to live in the wilderness again.

So, he didn't speak.

This way there is at least half a chance that no disaster will come here.

At least... half the chance.

But.

He lost the bet after all.

In other words, he finally lost.

In fact, he won once. About half a year ago, he encountered a disaster. He kept silent, and finally stayed until the predicted day, but nothing happened.

This time, it was the second time that he had foreseen the disaster here.

This time, the Death Star that brought destruction finally flashed across the sky in his eyes, announcing that destruction was about to come here.

After hearing what Lim said, the prince didn't know how to answer for a long time.

He always thought that he was the same kind as Lim, but now he realized how much pressure this little child was carrying.

Every prophecy that fails to save others may, in the prince's view, be just a fool's ignorance, but in Lim's view, there is a half chance that everyone's life is his debt.

At that moment, for the first time, the prince wanted to raise his head and ask the god why, why should a child be burdened with such contradictory abilities, and why should the task of saving the world be placed on his young shoulders.

but……

At least now, it's all coming to an end.

"Are you afraid of death?"

The prince held Lim in his arms, looked at the meteors falling from the sky, and asked softly.

"Afraid……"

Lim replied.

"But, if you are here, don't be afraid..."

The prince gently stroked Lim's head and did not reply.

The two of them just stared at the dark night sky, watching the burning meteors approaching.

Then……

boom!

The whole world was filled with dazzling white light, and their consciousnesses fell into darkness...

it's all over……

Is it all over?

that would be nice.

The brave man who saves the world will never die.

Lim opened his eyes again.

What appeared in front of him this time was a wasteland burning with flames, filled with poisonous gas, and breeding monsters.

This was once his home.

But now, there is nothing.

He stood up suddenly, and then frantically dug around the rubble pile full of construction debris with his hands...

Finally, he found a badge.

That is the proof of the royal family, the badge that the prince has always worn on his chest, representing glory.

Lim held the badge in both hands, raised his head, and cried bitterly.

But the cry could not summon the deceased family members, but only disgusting poisonous monsters.

They bit into Lim's body and injected poison into his body.

He fell slumped, and at the end of his sight, he saw a pitch-black egg, a black egg as big as a fist that exuded an endless ominous aura.

He blinked his eyes, trying to see more clearly, but in just a blink of an eye, the egg had disappeared.

After that, his world fell into darkness again...

220. Come on, open your mouth and grab the preserved egg

When Lim woke up again, what appeared in front of him was darkness that could not be seen.

He thought he was dead, but a low and rich voice came from the darkness.

"Are you okay, kid..."

That was Kaga's voice.

Kaga was still young at that time...well, I guess I shouldn't say that. After all, he was already over a thousand years old at that time, but compared to him now, he might still be considered young.

At least, he was still paying attention to things on the ground to the best of his ability.

It's just that he can't return to the sun after all, and the disaster Lim faces is so special that he can't help even if he wants to.

Originally, he saved Lim just to keep him safe temporarily. As for what to do next, he could only think about it in the long term...

But what he didn't expect was that after the communication, it was Lim who said that he had found the source of the disaster.

That black egg...

He saw the destruction of the entire world from the black egg.

He didn't tell that future, but he told Kaga that he was going to find the black egg.

He must take the initiative to use his abilities to search for the location of the black egg.

After a whole year of running around, he finally succeeded.

However, they could not find a way to destroy the black egg. Even if they went to the Mysterious Sanctuary for help, the answer they received was that they could do nothing.

Moreover, that black egg has a very dangerous characteristic...

As long as no one is looking at it, it can suddenly disappear at any time.

In the end, it was Kaga who relied on his connections and contacted several "friends" to find a way to seal the black egg...

The final result was just like what happened in front of Liu Ji. In this deep valley, Lim and the black egg were sealed in the crystal. He just stared at the black egg and never blinked for thousands of years.

Of course, being sealed in the crystal means that you can't blink even if you want to.

This sad story ended just like Kaga said, a brave man sacrificed everything and was sealed in a dark place, slowly waiting to rot.

If it was just that, it would be fine, but Kaga's notes also recorded some details.

Regarding Lim's ability, why he might not come true if he didn't say it out loud.

This is actually not Lim's patent, but a unique feature of top-level prophecy.

Top-level prophecy is both an encounter and a witness to the future. The moment it is spoken out, it can determine the direction of reality.

This reminded Liu Ji of the saying that the secrets of heaven cannot be revealed in his past world. Those legendary gods who could predict the future always refused to tell the foreseen future and only gave some solutions.

Therefore, in this world, any user of top-level prophecy will not tell the scenes they foresee by default, but only take actions to avoid disasters or reduce the losses of disasters.

But Lim is too young after all.

Without the corresponding knowledge and simple mind, he has never realized that there is a way to save others without telling the prophecy...

Of course, even if he realizes it, it may not be a good thing.

For no reason, he made the people of an entire country leave their homes, just because he is a child. Whether others believe it or not is not the point. Even if they believe it, if nothing really happens afterwards, the malice against him will only increase, not decrease.

At this point, everyone has noticed it.

Instead of letting the "brave man" deal with this disaster alone, if the Secret Sanctuary is willing to help, it will be much better.

But they don't.

Just pretend.

Or lazy.

In short, no one knows what they are doing. They only come out as saviors to clean up the mess when things get out of hand, but they don't solve the problem. Afterwards, they leave everything to Lim alone.

Kaga didn't like the Secret Sanctuary. After watching Lim being sealed in the crystal, he felt uncomfortable. In the next few years, he was investigating the whole story.

Finally, through his "friends", he really found out the whole story...

This disaster was a complete man-made disaster.

The Disaster Egg, an unnumbered test product of the Secret Sanctuary.

Its birth originated from the Secret Sanctuary's attempt to deconstruct the root cause of a historical disaster. The experimental group was composed of several great mystics in important positions. They tried to get a glimpse of the origin of the disaster through this experiment, so as to try to figure out the origin of the disaster.

But in the end, they obviously overestimated their abilities.

In order to better monitor the reaction of their creations and make them as harmless as possible, they made their test subjects into dead eggs that would never develop, and in order to monitor whether they could show certain intentions, they added the weakest phase shift ability to them.

However, this weakest phase shift ability, as the experiment continued, was unconsciously combined with a certain property inside it.

His original nature - an earlier disaster, a disaster used as a research sample by the Secret Sanctuary, a meteorite from outer space that destroyed half of the continent on the other side of the sea.

Remember, there are no meteors in this world.

This so-called meteorite is actually a collection of disasters summoned from another world.

And this black egg absorbed its ability to transfer to another world, and then, one day, the laboratory of the Secret Sanctuary carried out an energy update. When they replaced the new energy magic crystal and let the magic crystal lamp light up again, they suddenly found that the black egg that should have been in the crystal jar suddenly disappeared.

At the same time, their then Holy Star Guide received an oracle that the disaster was about to come.

Yes, the black egg itself had no destructive power, but its connection with its origin allowed it to continuously summon disasters from other worlds.

Although the disasters it summoned were far less powerful than the original super-large meteor, its unstable position and one meteor after another could still bring chaos and destruction to the world that was no less than the original super-large meteor.

Of course, these initiators immediately thought that the disaster might be caused by the black egg that escaped from their laboratory, but they concealed it.

Perhaps they were afraid of taking responsibility...

Or perhaps, they wanted to collect relevant information.

As for why the Mystic Sanctuary has been slacking off, in addition to their own style problems, these people may have made a significant contribution to their slacking off career.

After that, Kaga and his "friends" found these people and removed their heads one by one.

For Lim's sacrifice and the lives of countless innocent people, their lives must be explained.

After that, at least nominally, the Mystic Sanctuary banned any experiments that could replicate the Calamity.

As for secretly, Kaga didn't trust them anyway.

Afterwards, Kaga and his friends also made a lot of efforts to liberate Lim, but they all failed in the end. With the occurrence of other events, they could only give up trying to overcome this problem that they could never overcome.

And this place has existed for thousands of years.

To this day, every once in a while, there will still be meteors falling into this valley, and being digested and swallowed by the giant magic array in the valley, and finally merged into the valley.

"Thousands of years," Liu Ji sighed as he looked at the boy in the crystal who seemed to be frozen in time at the age of fifteen forever.

Really, there has been no change at all.
