Chapter 731 9. A certain solar scientist told us, Sunset is the Way of Nature
"Ah! My head!"
The first second he stepped into Zereth Mortis, before Diakum had time to appreciate the scenery that he had vomited in his previous life, he heard a cry of pain from beside him.
He turned around and saw three guys, Azshara, Medivh and Nether-Stalker, with almost the same frequency and unified movements. They fell to the ground at the same time like the Lord of Shadow Stream. Not only that, the three of them also shouted the same voice in unison.
This is obviously not normal.
Cipher Society's other Broker scholars also had similar bewildered reactions, but they were obviously not as violent as the three of them.
"Can you hear the sound? The melody? The melody floating here. The pulse of the universe. The truth of the unity of all things. The knowledge and truth left by that chord First Ones is here, and it is calling us!"
Diakum pulled Azshara and Medivh together. The two people still maintained the "same frequency" pace and said some words in unison that sounded very devilish.
Vigilant frowned and slapped Medivh twice on the face.
After all, with so many people watching, it would be hard to do such dishonorable things to Queen Azshara, and Medivh would be Lich, so he wouldn't feel any pain at all.
These two slaps took Mental Spike from Void Lord and penetrated into Medivh's mind, which was obviously "tempted" at this time, causing Astral Mage to wake up screaming in the next second.
Astral Mage shook his head hard, turned around and grabbed Nether-Stalker, whose energy form was about to explode, and used a similar method to Diakum to wake up Ethereal.
The resonance of the three people lost two nodes, causing Azshara to wake up.
She looked around vigilantly, and what she saw was a floating island with extremely complex terrain. This floating island, which was about the same size as Ardenweald, was covered with all the terrain known to Material World.
Forests, jungles, swamps, walls, rivers, etc., except for the lack of snowy mountains and extremely cold areas, almost all "terrain templates" can be found here.
They are randomly spliced and arranged together in a disorderly manner. The first step is green grass, and the next step is to step into the desert. The most important thing is that the two places less than one meter apart have the climate and environment that each other's terrain should have.
No wonder Zereth Mortis is a world that cannot be measured by any physical or metaphysical laws. The scene before us is completely unexplainable.
More importantly, Diakum bent down and reached out to push aside the vines on the ground, destroying the turf and exposing the real surface of the place.
Hexagon!
Everything that exists here is made of hexagonal or geometric materials that are like pasting and copying. Even the mountains in the distance are pieced together bit by bit from hexagonal rocks.
In addition, simple geometric patterns can be found on everything throughout Zereth Mortis. This is an area built with geometric concepts full of weird aesthetics.
A map similar to one created by turning on "Creative Mode"!
"The Zereth Mortis we see with our naked eyes is not "real"!"
Azshara said in a low tone:
"This is just an illusion woven by First Ones using "secret text" to adapt to the reflection in the eyes of different observers. Everyone, including me, sees Zereth Mortis differently in everyone's eyes.
How amazing.
This is not an illusion, this place just maintains the state "before birth". It has never been born and will not be destroyed. Diakum, your plan needs to change.
In its current state, there is no way we can destroy it.
How can you destroy something that is not yet born or is already destroyed?"
"The only one I want to destroy is Sepulcher of the First Ones, my queen."
Diakum curled his lips and said:
"How to destroy Zereth Mortis is your job. We have already talked about it before, and I think as long as you study Cipher of the First Ones a little deeper, you can collapse it from the inside by shaping this place with First Ones.
You also said that this place is woven with a ciphertext system, which means that you can destroy it more easily as long as you understand its structure."
Azshara bit his lip and did not refute this statement.
She discussed in a low voice with Medivh and Nether-Stalker for a few seconds and said:
"We have to follow the "Legacy Chord" in our mind to find the interpretation and writing device of Cipher of the First Ones. It is guiding us. The location of that thing is exactly in the same area as Sepulcher of the First Ones. It seems that we need to take action separately."
"You go ahead."
the Jailer waved his hand and pointed at the "real thing" The One that existed in everyone's eyes, the huge spherical device hanging high above the core area of Zereth Mortis.
He said:
"We must capture "Forge of the Afterlife" first, otherwise the Attendant of the Godss will continuously create troublesome protozoans to stop us. That thing is the "shaping mechanism" of the entire Zereth Mortis except Sepulcher of the First Ones.
That is the heart of this place, providing this land with inexhaustible power."
"They must have the most dangerous protozoan leader they can find here, and they know we're going to get there."
Diakum carried the war hammer and said:
"When it comes to research on Cipher of the First Ones, we cannot be the opponent of Attendant of the Gods. This is different from defeating Hylendus. They will definitely prevent us from dismantling the ciphertext program."
"I will use Domination to deal with them!"
Having arrived at his birthplace and destination, Zovaal, who had always maintained a "philosopher" temperament, finally showed his side as Warrior and a rebel.
He said in a cold tone:
"You resist the guards of First Ones. I use Chains of Domination to pull down Forge of the Afterlife, causing it to physically collide with the entire "Supply Sector", thus triggering its internal security program and forcing it to shut down.
Don't worry.
The authority that Attendant of the Gods have is not enough for them to fully activate their power to keep First Ones here. Otherwise, wouldn't it be more convenient for them to directly use First Ones's Grand Blueprint to "reset" us?
In the final analysis, those fanatical believers who regard destiny as everything are just servants of First Ones, and their authority here is not as good as mine."
"Let's go!"
Diakum No more hesitation.
He tried to summon his own Holy Warsteed, but unfortunately Zereth Mortis has independent rules, and Holy Warsteed cannot be formed here at all.
Zovaal shook his head and said:
"In the land of creation, you can only walk. This is their rule."
"Boring formalism."
Diakum scoffed, and the wings of light and shadow flapped behind his back, making him soar into the sky.
If I'm not allowed to mount a mount, then it's okay for me to fly by myself, right?
the Jailer took long strides, grunted and rushed towards that place, leading a group of Mawsworn leaders to rush towards the central Supply Sector.
That is the area where all terrain templates meet, and it is the absolute center of the entire Zereth Mortis.
What they call "Forge of the Afterlife" is a giant golden sphere with wonderful soft geometric patterns all over its surface, but there is also an outer contour like a Dyson sphere outside the sphere to protect and shape it. There is an energy port on each side of Forge of the Afterlife, in which the brilliance of the universe continues to surge and gather.
This obviously means that Forge of the Afterlife is running at low power, and the closer they get there, the more serious the obstruction suffered by Diakum and the Jailer.
All kinds of primitive organisms attack them from the ground, the sky and even underground.
Birds, bats, spiders, wolves, giant bears, deer, and strange humanoid and non-humanoid creatures, those metal gadgets shaped with bionic mimicry, are vast and powerful, launching a desperate attack on the invaders with the determination to "defend destiny".
The original body only belongs to the "little monsters". The real trouble is the First Ones guards guarding Forge of the Afterlife.
These disconnected bodies are made of geometric stones and metals, and the limbs are connected by energy resonance. They are "security guards" specially designed by First Ones to protect important materials, and their strength levels are extremely high.
They can use some Cipher of the First Ones power, and the spells they throw out at will are at least fifth-level transformation cipher text sequences, which are basically equivalent to a full-force blow from a demigod. Well, it doesn't sound so dangerous when you put it this way.
At least for the current Diakum, such an attack is not enough to break his defense.
Although these guys all have the unnatural characteristic of being "invalid with the Force", but again, when Paladin is forced to change his job to Warrior, when their devout faith breaks out in anger, their destructive power will not be reduced much.
"Broken!"
Vigilant crashed into the control platform of the central Supply Sector in the posture of "Sunfall". He clearly saw those Attendant of the Gods The "prophets of destiny" are gathering together, manipulating Forge of the Afterlife in a special prayer-like way to continuously wake up First Ones guards who are down everywhere in Zereth Mortis.
It is no exaggeration to say that these guys are creating an army of First Ones creations that can easily push Shadowlands.
It seems that they have also made two preparations.
It would be best if the five prototypes of Eternal Ones could be forged in Genesis Workshop, so that the destiny can be restarted smoothly.
If that doesn't work, use these guards and the reshaped prototype left by First Ones to physically eliminate those arrogant souls that rebel against destiny.
Destiny must last forever!
This is the perfect will of First Ones!
"Boom"
The first First Ones guard was rounded by Diakum and smashed to the ground by Sunstrider Warhammer. I don't know if it was an illusion. Dick felt that the closer he got to this "Forge of the Afterlife", the more vivid the power in his body became, and the destructive power was so strong that he even shocked himself.
Vigilant glanced at the golden sphere in the sky suspiciously, and thought to himself that this thing was indeed a bit like the "sun", but it wouldn't have such an obvious increase on him, right?
He is not a werewolf, so he can gain powerful power when he screams at the moon.
This is really not scientific at all!
However, this doubt could not stop Diakum from continuing to fight. He perfectly controlled his rising and surging energy at this time, knocking down the First Ones guards who were holding heavy hammers and trying to stop him.
At the rear, the Jailer and the Mawsworn leaders under his command simultaneously threw out their Chains of Domination, and dark and cold chains were clasped on Forge of the Afterlife from all directions. On the outer protective ring of, the Jailer threw seven chains and pulled them backwards like a mountain. The Mawsworn leaders also pulled as hard as they could.
There is a saying for "Domination" used by the Jailer.
This thing is the power created by Primus based on the concept of Death Force.
It governs all things, controls all things, and controls all things, so what it represents is by no means simple "control", but also includes erosion, assimilation, transformation, law, and a series of power characteristics that don't sound like fun and are LSP's ecstasy.
Therefore, when those Chains of Domination were pulling around Forge of the Afterlife, when Diakum raised his head during the battle, he could see that the dark power was like a surging tide, trying to annihilate the golden ball.
This scene.
Very much like Eclipse.
The energy of Diakum also changed subtly at this moment. The shadow was rising and Holy Light was fading, as if reflecting the simultaneous changes of Forge of the Afterlife above.
Vigilant A lightning flashed in his mind!
If Zereth Mortis is the "original database" that stored various material samples when First Ones was created, and if everything that exists here represents the original sample of a certain substance from the outside world, then at this moment he seems to know what the "Forge of the Afterlife" hanging high in the sky of Zereth Mortis is the "prototype" of.
No wonder its morphological changes have such a direct impact on itself.
But that's not a bad thing either.
As the shadow rises, Vigilant throws away the war hammer, raises his hands to cover Entropic Energy, waves Antimatter Claws in Monk's starting position when facing the enemy, and waits for When the shadow of Voidform connecting all things enveloped the entire central sector console, the illusion of Eclipse quietly emerged in the sky, almost perfectly integrated with Forge of the Afterlife, which was being infected by Domination.
"We lost control of it!"
At the moment when the spheres of Eclipse Illusion and Forge of the Afterlife matched perfectly, a Attendant of the Gods prophet screamed in terror, and their connection with Forge of the Afterlife was completely severed by external forces.
It's like the "administrator" came back and took away all the permissions of these subordinate nodes on the First Ones system.
In this cold and penetrating night, with Entropic Energy gauze covering his eyes, Diakum, who seemed unable to bear to see the "suffering of all living beings", showed a cold smile.
What followed was a real massacre.
the Jailer is also stupid now.
The Chains of Domination he pulled was obviously buckled on Forge of the Afterlife, but when darkness enveloped the earth, all Chains of Domination seemed to have lost their targets at the same time, and they were automatically recycled into everyone's hands.
Forge of the Afterlife disappeared?
Right before their eyes, in full view of the public, in that unsettling floating night, it seemed to have "escaped" into another dimension, disappearing into the "reality" of Zereth Mortis.
The light soon shines again, like dawn rising in the dark night.
In the Dispersion night, Diakum grabbed the Attendant of the Gods prophet in front of the console, but the latter had no fear and just used his light "hands" to hold Diakum's Antimatter Claws.
It saw with its own eyes the scene of Forge of the Afterlife disappearing into Eclipse Illusion, and then sighed in strange language:
"You are also their child An'she, you are home! They are watching you. They are looking forward to the Seventh."
"But I'm not."
Diakum can understand this language.
This is "Primordial Tongue", which is the sound formed when Cipher of the First Ones is pronounced. It only has the rhythm of the rhythm but no fixed interpretation characters. This is a language that is impossible to appear in Material World.
This is the language of First Ones.
He sighed and said to Attendant of the Gods, who took the initiative to die:
"I am not the Seventh they desire. I have nothing to do with them. I am just a passing Warrior of Light. Don't you understand? It doesn't matter if you don't understand. You have given everything for your persistence.
You can rest in peace."
"Click"
Antimatter Claws came together and crushed the prophet of Attendant of the Gods to pieces, then the shadows faded away and the light rose.
Zereth Mortis is still the same Zereth Mortis, but Forge of the Afterlife, which is the "heart" of this place, has disappeared. Such a big golden ball has disappeared mysteriously.
"Where did it go?"
the Jailer, who had always been calm, could no longer remain calm at this moment, so he asked a question.
Diakum glanced at him under Judgment's battle helmet and said lightly:
"The sun has set. Sunset is a natural principle. You can't possibly not know this, right?"
"We said we can't take anything from here!"
the Jailer scolded:
"This is what you promised too!"
"Even if Zereth Mortis is destroyed, Forge of the Afterlife will not be destroyed by internal collapse."
Dick explained seriously:
"Just as Medivh guessed, those First Ones creations that are strong enough will be drifted in the vortex of Zereth Mortis's destruction, and eventually appear somewhere in the physical universe or Six Realms in the future.
It's like a secret treasure from the universe washed ashore by the tide.
Perhaps in the long, long future, they will quietly emerge from the waves of the universe, fall into the hands of a lucky or unlucky person, and make waves again in the long river of fate.
But I can't risk Forge of the Afterlife falling into the wrong hands.
If you know whose prototype this thing is."
"You mean"
the Jailer quickly understood the subtext of Diakum.
He nodded and no longer pursued Diakum's "mao equipment" behavior. Obviously, the Jailer also believed that this "sealing" was necessary.
He looked at the protozoa that dispersed in a rush, and then looked at the floating island in the distance that was outside the main body of Zereth Mortis.
He said:
"Sepulcher of the First Ones is right there. Our birthplace is right there! The Creator's grand plan is also there. After stepping into it, I hope you will be prepared in advance."
"Maybe we should take a break?"
Diakum leaned on the war hammer and responded to the Jailer:
"Let your brothers and sisters take the first step. Maybe after seeing their determination, you can feel more relieved and determined?"
Zovaal glanced behind him, then nodded silently and said:
"You are right, I should give them the opportunity to express their determination to resist. However, they do not have enough strength to do all this. Resistance requires more than just determination."
