Chapter 3628

For the rest of the time, Xia De had been searching in these ruins. Although he didn't find other valuable items besides the coin, snake skin, and that stone tablet, at least he drew a rough topographic map of this place, which counted as not wasting that war curved arc in vain.

When there was about ten minutes left to stay here, Xia De went to the temple.

The temple was located below the high platform in the northwest of the mountaintop, and its rear was almost close to the rock wall on the east side of the high platform.

When he came just now, Xia De saw from afar that the temple door was closed. It seemed that "Mr. Snake" didn't mean to welcome him. So Xia De stood at the door and pushed the door from a distance with "Thunder Wave":

"Mr. Snake, are you there?"

The two big doors were easily opened by him like this, and the layout in the temple was still the same, but this time there was no giant snake statue, nor did a man with snake pupils walk out.

It was waiting for Xia De to enter the door, but Xia De would absolutely not walk in. Luweiya had warned Xia De that he must not enter here himself; she even let Xia De leave the snake pupil that could obtain clues through murals on the ship before setting off, just to prevent Xia De from breaking into the temple for clues.

Xia De stood at the door without moving, looking at the Ouroboros relief on the wall facing the door. He believed that the existence behind the wall was also looking here, and he also believed that compared to himself, the other party was the one who was more anxious.

Sure enough, it was the slippery and "hissing~" sound that sounded in the temple that finally broke the silence:

"God-Caller, since you have already reached the door, why don't you come in and take a look? Too many people visited the temple last time; since there is only you this time, I think we can discuss some things that are not suitable for mortals to hear."

"The entire ruin now only has you and me; I can actually just stand here and talk to you. Besides, aren't you and I mortal things? Except for gods, any existence in this world is a mortal thing."

Xia De said this, and there was no sound in the empty temple for a long time again:

"God-Caller, do you want to know the secret of ascending to godhood?"

Xia De was a little disappointed; he thought the other party would bring out more valuable "chips." He knew the secret of ascending to godhood when he first came to this world, and he had already walked more than half of the long stairs of ascending to godhood:

"I don't want to know; this is too far away for me. Rather than talking about such unrealistic things, it's better to bring out something more realistic."

"Then do you know what kind of power I can give you?"

"I express doubt about this; you have seen my moonlight, and I don't think your power is stronger than moonlight."

The voice coming from the empty temple seemed to be laughing, and the laughter was creepy:

"It's not the power to make you stronger, but the power to make you live longer. With your status, it's impossible not to know the fact that the end of the world is coming and the world is destined to head towards the end.

Even if it is the Thirteenth Ring, even if it is you, it is very difficult to survive in a world heading towards the end. Mortals cannot imagine what kind of world that is, what kind of era that is. But I know, because I am the fate destined to perish.

You have already seen on this island the human subspecies that I have endowed with fate and thus evolved to be more adapted to the end-of-the-world environment, right? I can also share this power and fate with you; don't worry, you get more than they get, you won't lose too much, but you will get more."

Xia De was increasingly disappointed:

"The end of the world, I once dreamed of it. In the dream, I saw the sky full of yellow sand, saw the black sun, saw the broken walls and ruins left only in the yellow sand, saw the dim world about to welcome the final darkness..."

Xia De asked back:

"Speaking of which, you are trapped on this island, is your news very poorly informed, so you don't know at all that last summer, when I fought the god who devoured the giant dragon in Moon Bay, I used a terrible maze?"

This refers to 【City of End · Tobesk】.

The snake did not give up its persuasion because of this:

"Yes, God-Caller, you indeed know more than others. But since you have received revelation in a dream, then you should understand better than others how difficult it will be to survive in the end-of-the-world era. I can give you this power; you can even share this power with other mortals you care about; even if I am defeated, this power will not fade.

And you, only need to help me do one small thing. Please rest assured, our conversation today will not be known by anyone."

"Why should I believe you, instead of believing the existence that gave me the revelation in the dream? Perhaps this dream has nothing to do with any other existence, but the fact that I can dream of those things itself explains the problem."

Time was running out, and Xia De was not willing to beat around the bush with the other party:

"Tell me everything you know about the Chosen One ceremony, and I can guarantee that when the final battle on Fatu Monster Island comes, I can cleanly solve you."

In that eerie laughter, the snake said lightly:

"God-Caller, have you always been so arrogant?"

"Most of the people who said this to me before are already dead."

"God-Caller, do you think you can always win?"

"At least I think I can win against you."

"God-Caller, then what is the price?"

It finally asked a valuable question after this conversation began:

"I know your story, and after contacting you, I also know your particularity. Certain existences that we both know, but neither of us will take the initiative to mention the names of, have endowed you with powerful power, giving you help at the most dangerous and difficult times, making you the most special existence in this era.

Then, what is the price for you to obtain these powers and special treatments that other mortals dare not even imagine? Gods never pity mortals because of compassion, and everything that the high-above They give to mortals has a price, and most of the time people don't know when the price will be collected."

The snake's voice hissed in Xia De's ear:

"Fate is a double-edged sword; the sharper the blade on one side, the more powerful the other side is. You have obtained so much, you shouldn't simply think that you are just lucky, right?

Perhaps you should also consider yourself. I can at least give you a guarantee of survival; people always have to make two preparations, right? You also have to guard against those high-above existences, believe me, when you pay the price for everything you possess at this moment, you will thank me for my generosity today."

Xia De's answer did not hesitate:

"I know I will definitely pay the price, but this has nothing to do with you, and nothing to do with anyone else; this is my own business."

He turned and prepared to leave:

"Snake, just wait here for the arrival of the decisive battle day. You are the fate of the destruction of the First Era; only when you are defeated can the fate of the world perishing in the Sixth Era be born. When Mr. Ring sealed you here, he probably planned everything. No matter what you say, in the near future, only your defeat is destined."

The snake called Xia De again, but not to refute this point of view, but to make a final transaction:

"Then how about we change to a simpler transaction? I tell you about me and that demon; you answer me how much you know about the end of the world."

It finally had some sincerity, so Xia De stopped:

"I don't trust you, you speak first."

The snake's hoarse voice answered:

"The demon of weapons wants to find a powerful weapon left by a witch emperor of the Fifth Era on the snow mountain, and for this, it cooperated with me. I assigned it tasks one after another to help me complete things that were inconvenient for me to do, and it learned from me where witches had visited.

This is a very fair transaction, and we can both get what we want. But I know what it really wants to do. Although the birth and sealing of the original demon are very ancient things, I was already born at that time. In my opinion, it is a bit too anxious; it is not yet the time for that existence to reappear."

It indeed also knew about the "original demon," and it was curious about Xia De's expression at this moment:

"Looking at your expression, you also know that thing?"

"I am curious, how did you see my expression... I know, the blood used to enhance the House of Pseudohumans and the Falling Star Beast comes from that thing, right?"

"The things you know seem to be far more than I expected."

"Then what is your attitude towards the original demon?"

Xia De asked, and the snake answered:

"It doesn't matter, just as I said, it is far from the time it should reappear, and it has nothing to do with this stage."

This statement is consistent with the doctor's statement; the doctor also believes that until the very end, the Demon King will not break free from the seal.

Although the snake is an enemy, Xia De still kept his promise and told the information he knew:

"The situation in the end-of-the-world era is nothing more than the world's area shrinking bit by bit in the sky full of yellow sand. Space-time, life and death, all order collapses, leaving only powerful end-of-the-world evil things still active.

That is the countdown before the end, an era without any meaning. The sun turns black and is about to fall, and the moon has long since disappeared. Fate no longer has meaning. Even if there are strong people who survive by luck in that era, they are just walking on the earth without meaning, waiting for the moment when their own will completely dissipates. For them, perhaps dying when the end of the world officially begins is the luckiest thing.

That's it, the scenery in the dream is just this."

The snake asked again:

"In the dream, under that dim sky, have you ever seen me?"

Xia De shook his head:

"No."

There was no other sound in the temple, and Xia De turned and left here. He didn't know why, for a moment he felt that the other party was also a bit pitiful, but this ridiculous thought disappeared immediately.
