Chapter 410 The Ten Thousand Worlds Have Come to an End, Eleven Monument Marks!
"After all, I still owe you a favor."
Su Mu slowly stretched out his right hand and looked at the stone ring mark on his middle finger.
This stone ring really helped Su Mu a lot. Old Man Ling brought the stone ring's weapon spirit. According to him, it was the "big man" in front of him who helped him.
And he had only met this woman once, and Su Mu couldn't understand why she would help him.
Hearing this, Hou Tu seemed to have guessed that Su Mu would ask this question, and already had the answer in his heart.
She replied slowly: "I didn't do you any favors. On the contrary, you stopped the flood and invisibly saved the city."
"I invite you here today because I have a presumptuous request. I want to ask you for a favor."
Empress Houtu's tone seemed to always be so calm and ethereal, and no emotion could be heard.
Maybe, she herself doesn't know whether she is a "creature" or whether she should have the unique emotional fluctuations of "creatures". From the moment she entered reincarnation, she may no longer have a "self" , but a supreme body of rules that should not have those low-level emotional fluctuations.
This is normal, because once she has emotions or feelings, it will be an immeasurable disaster for the reincarnation of the heavens and the world, and the entire reincarnation will be in "darkness".
But this time, and the last time, she broke her own principles and stopped watching the chess, but entered the game.
Otherwise, she would not invite Su Mu here.
"Repair the bridge?"
Because in the beginning, the original intention of Lao Shi and Du Ziren inviting me here was to let me help them build the bridge, and I might also be able to get a lot of favor points.
"So, not quite."
"plz follow me."
With that said, Hou Tu slowly turned around and walked towards the end of the bridge, with Su Mu following behind him step by step.
This stone bridge spans the entire underground river and is about three thousand meters long.
The distance of three thousand meters is not long, but when walking on the bridge, it feels inexplicably far away. Every step I take, my feet feel a little heavier, which is very strange.
Soon, we reached the end of the stone bridge.
At the end of the stone bridge, a stone tablet was erected, one hundred meters high and thirty meters wide, with a dark black color. The moment his eyes touched the stone tablet, Su Mu felt his breath suffocated, and his soul was shaking uncontrollably at this moment.
Looking carefully, there are no words on the stone tablet, only shallow marks, like annual rings.
Su Mu counted and found that there were eleven monument marks in total.
What is strange is that such a large stone monument has only eleven marks, which seems very abrupt.
Empress Houtu looked at the eleven marks on the stone tablet and sighed quietly.
In fact, she watched the monument marks decrease little by little, but she couldn't stop it.
This stone tablet is called the "Reincarnation Stele", which represents the "life span of reincarnation".
Yes, reincarnation also has a lifespan. It may be reborn, but it will never live forever.
When all the "marks" on the reincarnation stele disappear, it means that the "reincarnation avenue" has come to an end, that is, it has collapsed. The entire reincarnation avenue in the world has collapsed. Then there is only one possibility, that The entire heavens and realms collapsed, all laws and avenues were annihilated, turned into chaos, and everything turned into nothingness.
The eleven inscriptions mean that the world only has eleven eras left in its lifespan.
In other words, after eleven epochs, all worlds will collapse, everything will be destroyed, and return to the original chaos.
Eleven epochs, just eleven epochs. For the most powerful, eleven epochs are very short, so short that they can pass by in a single retreat or a short nap.
All in all, the lifespan of the universe has come to an end.
Eleven epochs are too short.
She didn't know why there were only eleven monument marks left.
Many, many epochs ago, on the day when the earth body transformed into reincarnation, the reincarnation stele was densely covered with stele marks. At that time, the life span of all the heavens and worlds was close to infinite. It can only be said that it was close, but it was still limited. That is to say, no matter how the world develops, it will eventually come to an end.
But then, one day, the monuments in all the worlds disappeared at an accelerated rate, and almost every minute and every second was reduced one epoch after another.
The occurrence of this abnormal situation also attracted the attention of Hou Tu. She was in charge of reincarnation and kept searching in reincarnation to find out what was the reason that accelerated the decline of the world.
However, although she is powerful and has reached a certain height, she cannot leave reincarnation or this place, because she is the avenue of reincarnation, and the avenue of reincarnation is her.
Even though she calculated the reincarnation of countless creatures in the world, including those creatures who were reincarnated, those creatures who went around in reincarnation, and those creatures who were born.
However, no matter what, she couldn't figure out what "anomaly" caused the rapid decline of the world.
Until one day, eight years ago, she finally deduced some clues.
Please...you...collect 6...books...!
That day, a river keeper came to the river of time. He seemed to appear out of thin air. No one knew where he came from, why he suddenly appeared in the river of time, and why he guarded the river of time.
This is not important. What is important is that on the day the river keeper appeared, the marks on the reincarnation monument were instantly reduced to only nine!
That is to say, the moment the river keeper appeared, the life span of the entire world only had nine epochs left!
And that river keeper was Su Mu in front of him!
So, since the moment Su Mu appeared in the long river of time, Hou Tu had noticed him and had been observing him in secret.
Because she felt that Su Mu was most likely the "odd number", because with his appearance, the life span of the world came to an end instantly, so the answer was very obvious, Su Mu would destroy the entire world after nine epochs.
He was the "odd number" that Hou Tu had been unable to deduce and find!
So, from that day on, Hou Tu regarded Su Mu as the biggest enemy.
Because she couldn't let Su Mu destroy everything, she was not afraid of her own death with the disappearance of the reincarnation road, and she didn't seem to care much about the life and death of the creatures in the world, because everything was predetermined.
What she cared about was. Why did Su Mu do this?
Why did the life and death of the world fall on a certain person? !
She was very confused.
Therefore, she had been secretly testing and observing, and had great hostility towards Su Mu from beginning to end.
This hostility lasted until one day, when it changed.
That day was when the time flood appeared for the first time in the long river of time.
