Chapter 448: The So-Called Era Part 1
The So-Called Era Part 1
Speaking of "relics"...
Cheng Shi frowned slightly, and finally decided to take out the "Grudge of the Self-Sinner" gifted by Hu Xuan in front of Afros.
This should have been Afros's thing. If this thing belonged to Cheng Shi originally, then at this moment Cheng Shi would return the thing to its original owner without hesitation.
Because he thought long-term, he didn't want such an envoy-level intelligence source to be distant and hide things from himself because he "embezzled" His things.
Cheng Shi is greedy, but between being greedy for more and being greedy for less, he still knows how to choose.
Although he couldn't replace Hu Xuan to return this gift of 【Birth】, he could show his sincerity, not to mention this was Hu Xuan's thing originally, so he placed this "Grudge of the Self-Sinner" by Hu Xuan's hand, and chose another side to sit down.
In this way, a three-legged stance was formed on the long table, Afros sat at the head, and Cheng Shi and Hu Xuan sat at the end of the table.
And when Cheng Shi placed Afros's "relic" on the table, Hu Xuan already understood Cheng Shi's meaning. He felt that this thing could ease the relationship between the two and make this unusual meeting go more smoothly.
Hu Xuan nodded to Cheng Shi gratifiedly, and then looked at Afros:
"This is..."
"Gifted to you by Him?"
"Not bad.
Although He stripped away Golis's power in advance, since He was willing to hand this 'relic' to me, it shows that He is also looking forward to your return.
The problem is, are you willing?"
To be honest, Hu Xuan is not a person suitable for negotiation, nor is she a person who will negotiate. Just as Cheng Shi understands, this sister has always been straight, saying one if it is one, and never talking nonsense with people.
Giving birth is also the same.
Afros didn't seem to expect that this so-called Eternal Sun was such a personality. He shook his head and smiled, looking at the "relic" on the table:
"You don't understand.
Only when I am not willing, will He be willing.
When I am willing, He will not be willing.
Gods, they are such a contradictory collection. They always show their compassion when they don't need to show compassion, but establish their majesty when they need to show compassion.
You, too young, misunderstood His meaning.
He didn't let you come to persuade me to go back, but let you come to persuade me to give up. As for giving up what, I won't say it in front of His child.
Also, He stripped away my power, not to use it as a token, but to borrow my power to escort His new child.
He cares about you very much, this is good, at least it makes me feel that my persistence is not wrong.
Also, whether I am willing or not has no meaning, because as long as the One of 【Existence】 doesn't speak, I will repent myself in this cage again and again, sinking into the past."
"......"
"......"
This was too desperate, so much so that the two present felt the same.
But before long, Hu Xuan frowned and radiated the aura of 【Birth】, because she found that she actually fell into the influence of 【Pollution】 unconsciously.
As for Cheng Shi...
He was even more miserable.
Emotion told him that he should cry at this time, body told him that he should go up at this time, but reason told him that he couldn't go on like this!
Gods fighting hurt mortals, if this goes on, this chat can't go on!
So he gave himself the purest calming spell.
When the blue light flashed, Cheng Shi's eyes returned to clarity, but... in the eyes of the other two, burning desire ignited.
Because... 【Birth】!
Cheng Shi is now a descendant priest, so his calming spell is full of the taste of 【Birth】!
Hu Xuan raised her eyebrows, politely restrained her impulse, and smiled charmingly: "It seems you have grafted the faith of my Lord..."
Cheng Shi's cold sweat on his forehead brushed out. He wiped his sweat awkwardly, laughed dryly twice and said:
"Look, isn't this a coincidence, coincidence coincidence."
And Afros was even more curious. After all, in the era He existed, there was never a saying of faith grafting. Of course, there was, but those were all the fanatical fantasies of 【Truth】 believers.
"I was very curious just now and wanted to ask what happened to you.
Now it seems, this seems to be the authority of the new god?
Faith grafting?
If His authority is grafting, then what is the necessity for the existence of others on other paths?"
Cheng Shi's eyes flashed with essence upon hearing this.
Look, isn't the capital for information exchange here?
"Do you want to know?"
"Of course."
"Can, I tell you the authority of the new god, you explain the meaning of the era to me, how about it?"
Hu Xuan looked at the two silently, slightly shocked, but not much.
At this time, she was attracted by Cheng Shi who was negotiating with the envoy at the long table, or in other words, attracted by the 【Birth】 aura on Cheng Shi.
She was thinking, if Cheng Shi resisted her using her ability to give birth to a child for him, then is it possible to let Cheng Shi, who grafted the descendant priest ability, "bestow" a child to herself?
After all, just need a healing spell, and she has a probability of getting the gaze of 【Birth】.
I think 【Birth】 will be happy to gaze at His child and His child's child.
So... is it possible?
Thinking of this, Hu Xuan's eyes became more and more fiery.
However, Cheng Shi knew nothing about this, or maybe he didn't dare to know. In short, now he only wants to know the "era" that the Benefactor never talks about, what exactly it is!
"So, who first?" Cheng Shi looked at Afros with burning eyes, as if looking at an information treasure.
Afros elegantly put on a napkin for himself, and before picking up the tableware, He smiled and told what He could say:
"I don't know how many eras are waiting for us in the future, but I can be sure that I have experienced six eras.
Plus the current era of 【Void】, a total of six eras."
Cheng Shi understood it at once. This was originally the same as what he thought, every path seems to correspond to an era, but what makes him most curious is what is the difference between the era and the epoch in the mouths of players.
So he continued to listen patiently.
"I was born in the first era, the era of 【Life】. In that era, I was lucky enough to get His gaze and became His first child.
Then, the world moved toward 【Death】, the universe welcomed the end, and the first era ended. 【448-6
Then... I was born again in the second era.
In this era belonging to 【Depravity】, I failed to receive His gaze again, but unexpectedly accepted the baptism of 【Sea of Desire】, turning into the appearance you see now..."
"!!!!!"
No, wait a minute!
Cheng Shi was stunned.
Not just him, even Hu Xuan, who could not control her 【Birth】 impulses, froze for a moment.
Neither of them could understand what it meant to be born again in the second era?
So what did the end of the first era mean?
A reset? A wipe? A reboot?
Cheng Shi's gaze tightened; just as he was about to speak and ask, Afu Luosi stopped him with a look.
"Do not ask too much; I speak, you listen.
What you can hear is what you are meant to hear; as for what you cannot hear... I will try my best not to say it out loud.
I know you have doubts about the end of the era, but I cannot tell you more.
Believe me, this is not about hiding something, but...
Some things cannot be mentioned.
If you must know something, my brother, I can tell you the name of 【*Him】, but on the condition that you are already prepared to know 【*Him】."
As he spoke, Afu Luosi also looked at Hu Xuan.
"So, are you two prepared for this?"
Hu Xuan straightened her body elegantly and nodded with a smile, looking calm and composed, yet a trace of solemnity still appeared in her eyes.
Cheng Shi was even more so.
His fists were clenched tight, his toes dug into the ground, and his whole body was taut like a fully drawn bow, seemingly ready to emit a trembling hum at the slightest touch.
He realized he was about to approach the secrets of the gods, but he suddenly became uncertain; he did not know if he should continue to learn more.
Living is good, and at the current pace, he estimated he could live for a long time.
So, do these things—things that even Afu Luosi treats with such seriousness—really need to be known by him?
And just then, the figure of Old Jia suddenly flashed through his mind again; the old man walked through Cheng Shi's mind just like he did when he strolled in front of his house every day.
And behind the old man, there was a blurred figure looking at him and nodding with satisfaction.
Looking closely, that figure seemed to be himself, but blinking and looking again, it looked like Cheng Dashi returning from the future.
That's right, if one cannot change the tragedy, what is the point of living a little longer?
Old Jia is still the same Old Jia from his memories, and he is still the same himself in the game; when the tragedy of the future unfolds, where else would one go to find the old man in memories?
Thinking of this, Cheng Shi's gaze suddenly became firm.
He looked at Afu Luosi and nodded, and then, from the mouth of this Dual Messenger, he heard a divine name he would never forget.
"Very well.
I can only tell you that the end of every era is related to 【*Him】.
And 【*His】 name is...
【Origin】."
