Chapter 1979 The Origin of the Successor and the Foreigner
So far, the Sun, Moon and Stars Ritual Formation, which is similar to but different from the pattern on the back of the Wanxiang Impermanence card, has appeared in many inexplicable places.
For example, on the ground of the Night Temple, Shade imprinted this pattern after violating time travel; such as the symbol that appeared on the ground when the black time key appeared as the staff of Uggdrasil; and the collapsed moon of Karas Mountain.
There are similar symbols on the high tower, where Miss Denister's teacher disappeared.
But in fact, if you think about it carefully, no one seems to have said that the pattern imprinted on the land of the Black Night Temple belongs to the Black Night Temple. The symbol is more like the symbol that Sha De used to activate the "memory of the earth" using the Wanxiang Impermanence Card.
What happened was that the underground of the Night Temple was the place where the long-haired Luvia stored her "memories of past lives".
Thinking about it this way, the symbol of the Night Temple is clearly related to the method of long-haired Luvia. And "she" once said at that time that the time travel was "illegal". This further illustrates the strange rituals on the ground at that time.
The base formation is not the power of the ancient gods at all, but more likely a means of long-haired Luvia to help her in the next sixth era "see" the stories of the past.
As for the strange [Staff of Yggdrasil], it is currently known that the birth of the black time key is inseparable from the long-haired Luvia. Therefore, the pattern when the long staff appears is most likely related to the long hair.
It has something to do with Luvia, and she might even have made the relic herself.
Although "making relics" sounds unbelievable, for Luvia, who has destroyed time and space several times and returned to the Sixth Age, it doesn't seem to be that big of a deal.
If you follow this line of thinking, then the "Sun, Moon and Stars" ritual array that Shade saw in the Temple of Night and the Staff of Uggdrasil were all caused by Luvia in the "past life". Combined with this,
What the fortune teller in front of him said with his back to him was that this ritual array was created by him based on the Impermanence Card. Then Shade had reason to believe that Luvia in the past life was the one "here."
"Here and Now", the person who accepted all the research materials of Laplace Klein Howard.
In an unknown sixth era without Shad, Luvia defeated the "Edwards Family: E Pluribus Unum", obtained and inherited the knowledge from this fortune teller of the Seer Association, and studied it carefully afterwards.
And expand, Laplace Howard's research on the impermanence of all things, divination and astrology will be further deepened, until countless years later, he will use that knowledge to create even more amazing rituals and inventions.
Although there is currently no clear evidence to support this conjecture, the more Shade thinks about it, the more he feels that this is the truth.
After all, it is currently known that Luvia in the past life has a high probability of inheriting Sister Devlin's "primordial fire" in the end, and inheriting Miss Paavo's "Code of Smallville". With the La in front of her
The character shown by Plath Howard, if he learned that Luvia was a fortune teller after his failure, he might indeed give everything to her like everyone else.
"How many people's wishes did Luvia inherit? But what does it mean that Miss Daniste discovered this ritual at the remains of the Moon Tower on Mount Karas?"
Shade was thinking in his mind, but before he asked the other party whether he had been to Karas Mountain and whether he had seen Miss Daniste's teacher, he turned his back to him and looked at the fortune teller in Green Lake, and then said:
"You know, it was from this pier that I first set foot on this island more than two hundred years ago."
Shade looked up at the lake in the night:
"Are you referring to the real island, or this island you call 'Green Island'?"
"Both."
The fortune teller said in a hoarse voice, still facing Shade, and raised his hand to point to the lake:
"I jumped off the boat from here, then carried my bag and walked along the trestle to the beach. Before entering the forest path, I turned around and took a look at the lake. I will never forget that day, it was also a spring
On that night, the starry sky was even more beautiful than it is now. At that time, I had not obtained those key fragments of poems, nor had I planned the Edwards Den Magic. So at that time, I could never have imagined that I would be in this place next.
What to do on the island.”
The cards that make up his body are flying out one after another, and then turning into fly ash. Theoretically, when he was defeated by Shade on the giant bloody tree that was burning at the moment a few hours ago, he
He was already dead, but he got a chance to be reborn with the help of the set of alchemy cards.
But after being defeated by Shade and Sister Devlin, due to the fusion of evil objects, his second life has come to an end. He can hold on to say these words and explain these things here.
Quite remarkable.
"What are you going to do with your descendants?"
Seeing that the other party gave his knowledge and property to him, Xia De still asked. The fortune teller shook his head slightly:
"It's up to them, or you, to decide."
As the cards were withdrawn, the figure became more and more blurry. But the conversation was not over yet. The fortune teller deliberately waited for Shade here in order to say the most important words at the last moment:
"After merging with my grandson Envy Edwards, I really had a glimpse of a corner of that destroyed time; becoming one with [The Door in the Bottle], I heard it in the babble and murmur.
A description of a time that should never be known."
He stood up with difficulty holding on to the ground of the trestle, and finally turned around and looked at Shade.
The stars hung upside down above the two of them. In the shining sea of stars, three moons shone on the land where there were still sporadic battles. Behind Shade, in the light of the sky, the huge blood-colored tree was still burning. The crackling sound of burning was probably
Will last all night.
Laplace Howard had an extremely tired look on his transparent face, but he still looked at Shade seriously:
"You also knew things in the past, even more than I did. Someone came from that time to our present. I used to think it was you, so you could show such amazing power again and again.
Taking action to save everything at the most critical moment again and again is like reading all the stories in advance, but now it seems that that person is definitely not you."
Shade's lips moved slightly, but he did not speak.
The diviner continued:
"I believe you know who that person is, who has destroyed the stability of time and space and is burdened with a time and space curse that is stronger than the curse on my grandson. I just want to give you a suggestion: don't believe him or
She, he or she is definitely not telling you the truth."
"I won't easily believe everything you say just because you gave me everything you have."
Shade frowned deeply, but still said this. From the first time he saw the other party on the island until now, the other party has been making him doubt the long-haired Luvia. But at this time, the fortune teller should have no need to lie. At this moment, he
The words should be sincere, which is why Xia De frowned.
One by one, the cards were swept high into the sky by the wind, and turned into fly ash when they touched the blown sparks. The fortune teller, whose body became more and more transparent, smiled;
"At least, you have been reminded. In the future, when you make important decisions, you will remember what we said at this moment. You don't have to believe me now. I understand your vigilance towards me, but you will understand
Yes, what exactly did that destroyer of time and space do to our world?
If our world is a game with many endings, then he or she brings us to the worst ending."
Shade pursed his lips and did not continue to speak. Although he would not doubt Luvia, if there is a chance later, he would explore more secrets of the long-haired Luvia. Although he would not doubt that the long-haired Luvia has always been
He is deceiving him, but it is still necessary to find out those things. He will not blindly insist on a certain idea because of his position. Investigation and practice are the means to the truth.
Time has come to an end, and Laplace Klein Howard's second life has also come to an end.
He looked over Shade's shoulder, towards the burning giant tree, and then toward the island. Shade thought he would lament his life, or ask Shade whether he was a good person.
But he did not mention this. Laplace Klein Howard believed that he had completed his mission in this world. Although he had failed, he had verified that a road was impassable and provided a solution for him.
In addition, the explorer who was still striding forward left behind his last flame.
He chose to spend the last few seconds of his life continuing the topic of "past lives":
"Do you know what kind of miracle it would be to destroy the time and space that has already appeared and start the Sixth Age from scratch? If given the chance, I would really like to talk to the real time and space destroyer and talk about those things that I don't know yet.
matter."
He looked at Shade's face and left the last words:
"That is an absolutely impossible accident. It is the chaos caused by the collapse of time and space. It is probably the most desperate wish of the time and space destroyer. Under this series of mistakes, I don't know what will happen again in the newly-started Sixth Era.
What kind of brand new story will it bring to this world? Godcaller beyond destiny, please sit under the stage and witness this story to the end. I hope you and I will meet again after the end."
He bowed slightly to Shade. When the last thirteen cards flew to the lake and turned into ashes and sprinkled in the water, the first lord of Green Lake Town and the former traitor of the Prophet Association was completely dead.
Shade was stunned for a moment, with the fortune teller's last words echoing in his ears. He suddenly took a few steps forward, stood where the fortune teller stood just now, and looked at the calm lake in a daze:
"He just said. It turns out, it turns out."
I lowered my head and looked at my reflection on the water under the trestle. The shadow kept shaking. Even if I stretched out my hand to fish it out, I couldn't find any truth:
"So this is ah."
