Chapter 4114: Creator's Preparation

Compared to Miss Bredwe, Gina, who had read many books in the dragon's nest because of loneliness in her childhood, knew a lot:

"I thought those were all legendary stories~

Dragons are not the race created by that ancient God of Creation. We originate from the Light Dragon. In the ancient gemstones circulating among the gem dragons, it is recorded in the prophecy of the Mythological Era—one day the world will head toward extinction, and at that time, 'Great Terror' will descend.

Whether it is humans, elves, dragons, or anything else, they will all perish when the Great Terror arrives. And the ancient gods had long foreseen that scene and made preparations for it. The Creator gave life another choice. The first life can not only adapt to the beginning of the world, but also adapt to the end of the world, because both are equally terrifying."

Gina recalled the many records she had read in the past:

"So, the first children created by the Creator shoulder the mission of examining whether life in the material world meets the standards. However, I don't know what the so-called standard is. Maybe it's whether it's strong enough."

Xia De blinked:

"What happens if the so-called standard is not met?"

Gina, sitting on her big tail, shook her head:

"The subsequent records are not particularly clear. The general meaning seems to be that if life cannot pass the test, the first children created by the Creator might deny the significance of the existence of all races in the material world, and then turn all races into themselves, so that everyone can adapt to the new environment.

I don't quite understand what means they will use, but thinking about it carefully, I'm afraid it won't be a good method."

The petite Miss Felianna then said to Xia De:

"The ancient literature possessed by dragons has a very high accuracy rate. You can take the information Gina gave as a reference. And if that Creator really expected that 'Twilight' would eventually come at the beginning of the world's birth, then it is very possible that the first life it designed can adapt to the beginning and also adapt to the end."

The old witch sighed:

"If this is the case, then at the beginning of the birth of the first children, what awaits them is the day of the end. This is even more tragic than other races... I shouldn't evaluate the ancient god's approach like this."

"Are there records of this in the Church of Creation?"

Xia De asked the old witch curiously, and the latter nodded:

"But I know less than Gina. There are theologians in the church who study the 'Twilight' in the ancient god's title. No, no, it can't be said to be research, it's just a summary and induction of ancient records.

The God of Creation is also the God of Withering and the God of Destruction. Twilight and Creation embody the characteristics of two sides of one body. At the same time, 'Twilight' means a dividing line, and most high-level divine arts and rituals related to 'Creation' are indeed more suitable for use at twilight."

Xia De expressed his understanding of this. This is like the divine art of the Sage of the Moon, whose power will be enhanced when used at night.

The old witch continued:

"And in the most secret and difficult-to-understand research, someone once proposed such a statement—when the ancient god created all things, he was also grieving for the tragedy that the lives of mortals would eventually wither. So the god obtained a wisp of decaying light from the setting sun, tore off a corner from the curtain of the coming night, and wove the colors of twilight together.

Thus, life not only exists in the two states of 'living' and 'dying,' but also exists in a third form."

Everyone looked at her:

"Life has a third form?"

The old witch shook her head:

"Only the first children were given a third form, so they are unique, precious, and different. The things I know are only these."

"Perhaps the third life form is the reason why the first children created by the ancient god might be able to survive in the end times."

Gina guessed, but Xia De had never heard of the existence of the so-called "first children" from Adele of the past, and there were no large batches of normal life that could exist in the end times.

"The third form, the twilight form... what kind of life existence form would that be?"

Xia De thought curiously, and then thought of the dim yellow sky in the end times, and thought of the black sun flowing with fire lines.

"If the 'first children' can really be known to possess certain characteristics, and these characteristics are shared with other races, then... isn't this the consequence of failing the test?"

【No.】

"She"'s voice appeared in his ear:

【The end of the world is the silence of all things. No normal living creature can survive in that era. Do not look forward to this.】

Xia De's eyes were vacant, and no one in the tent knew what he was thinking:

"But if the twilight form of life really exists, what kind of characteristics do the first children created by the ancient god have that made the ancient god believe they could survive in the end times?"

"She"'s voice was extremely light at this moment, just like the thoughts that flashed through his mind and disappeared in an instant:

【Twilight, Creator.】

Xia De sighed in his heart. Although this answer was very absurd, the answer was really only one:

"The first race created by the ancient God of Creation, that group of lives known as the 'first children,' they themselves contain the power of the end times. Their life form exists for the arrival of the end times. In this way, is it possible that the environment at the beginning of the world's creation is similar to the environment at the end of the world? But in this way, how were the ancestors mentioned by the alchemists active in that era?"

"The first children" possessing the power of the end times was entirely an answer Xia De deduced himself, but he vaguely felt that this was the truth. In this way, if the "standard" Gina mentioned and the test mentioned by the 【Emerald Alchemy Association】 could not be achieved, then the mission of the first children was to give all races the terrifying power of the "end times"...

"Can life given the power of the end times still be normal life?"

He thought of the first time he went to the past, when he looked at the "City of the End" buried in the sand from the roof of No. 6 St. Deran Square, he had seen several figures moving on the side of the broken buildings far away from the city. Those existences that he didn't know what they were were probably the answer he was thinking about at this moment.

"The test that the 'first children' are going to give won't be to let the last children prove that they can live in the end times, right? But how is this possible?"

【Twilight is the boundary where the sun is about to disappear and the moon is about to rise. It should not have existed for a long time, but the Creator made it a life form.

Perhaps at the beginning of the long mythological era, those first children did help the ancestors adapt to the chaotic world. But they themselves are wrong, and they have no qualification to evaluate whether the various races accompanying the world toward the end have the qualification to continue to exist.】

"Sun and moon, therefore don't like twilight?"

"She" did not answer this question. Xia De's eyes were still staring at the void:

"The third form of life, the wrong form, neither living nor dead... Does the moon want me to purify them? If the third form of life is really those figures I saw in the City of the End, Tobesk, the means of that Creator don't seem to be wrong... Wrong, or right?"

【Outlander, everything is decided by you. Moreover, the boundary between right and wrong is sometimes as ambiguous as twilight, difficult to distinguish.】

"Yes..."

Xia De sighed in his heart and moved his thoughts away from this topic. Regardless of what the ancient god had done, that was a very, very long time ago. When a drama was about to end, it was meaningless to judge the story at the beginning. All he had to do was make the ending of this story slightly better. If the "first children" really wanted to give all life the power of the "end times," then Xia De would definitely stop them, because Luvia proved that this ending was not particularly good either.

"Finished thinking?"

Miss Felianna's voice appeared suddenly, and Xia De revealed a smile:

"Finished thinking. Witches are indeed knowledgeable. This information is very useful to me. I had never heard of the third form of life before. But now, let's wait until I go back to consider these things. Now, I still have to think about how to leave here."

Miss Felianna, who was flying between Xia De and Gina preparing dolls for everyone, looked at him with some worry, but did not say much:

"That's good. The withering crystal as the trap for the last furnace is ready, but you still need to do one thing. I can't guess what the furnace will eventually forge, so plan for the worst. It is possible that you need to cooperate with me to detonate the 'Source of Fire' and thereby trigger a chain reaction of life collapse."

"What do I need to do for this? What kind of harm will it cause you?"

Except for Xia De, the three witches had no reaction. Clearly, Miss Felianna had discussed this with them before.

"What you need to do is very simple—it's just that the destructive power that my doll body can produce when it self-destructs is not strong. In the worst case, I need you to cooperate with me to detonate the 'Source of Fire' and thereby trigger a chain reaction of life collapse."

Miss Doll said. Xia De thought this possibility was not high. After all, Luvia's prophecy almost directly stated that this fire seed source would appear beside Miss Helena Carter in the Sixth Era. It could not be destroyed here. However, even Luvia never thought that the prophecy was necessarily accurate. People who completely believed in prophecy would only fall into the trap of fate, so Xia De nodded:

"Alright, but I still want to know what kind of harm this will cause you."

Miss Doll revealed a gentle smile at him:

"Don't worry, my main body is still outside after all, and this place will not allow the soul of a demigod witch to enter directly. If the doll collapses, my consciousness will temporarily attach to you or Gina. Even if this fails, for the me outside, it will only be a serious mental trauma, and at most, I will have a headache for a while and be fine." ===== CHAPTER 4115 =====

Miss Feilian gave him a gentle smile:

"Don't worry, my true body is still outside after all, and this place wouldn't allow the soul of a demigod witch to enter directly. If the doll is destroyed, my consciousness will temporarily attach to you or Gina. Even if that fails, for the me outside, it would only be a severe trauma to my mental power; at most, I'd have a headache for a while and be fine."
