"That's a lot to say, but what I want to tell you about the Great Transformation is that it is a mysterious ritual related to every living being in the world, and even every god-level person. This ritual It can accelerate the growth of the universe and enable the rapid expansion of the barriers of the universe."
"So, the purpose of this ritual...is to obtain more energy from the universe?"
"Yes, but it is not without cost..." Hela sneered and did not continue.
"With your current level, it's too early to tell you many things. However, there are still some things you can understand about the Great Ascension. After all, there is not much time left."
"Chen Yao, sometimes, do you feel that you have lost something important? For example...memory."
"Lost...memory? Yes...yes, it feels like that sometimes..."
As he spoke, Hela stretched out her green-white jade fingers and tapped Chen Yao's forehead, with a mysterious and weird smile on her lips...
"Bo'er..."
The cold feeling on his forehead instantly made Chen Yao sober. Then, after a strange soft sound, some dust-covered memories slowly emerged...
"Uh...crazy old man? That... long worm that eats celestial bodies???"
"Yes, it's called the Devourer, also called the Dimension Worm. It's the guy you saw devouring stars in the dream space that day. It was also the one that caused trouble when you and I were at the edge of the black abyss a star ago. At that time, your memory was sealed so that you would try not to attract the attention of the Devourer, but now... you are strong enough to understand it."
"That is... an extremely dangerous, extremely terrifying guy! With my current strength, I can only drive it away. You can't imagine how powerful it is. The reason why it is called the Devourer is because it can devour Everything in this universe, matter, time, space, energy, memory, anything you can imagine, can be swallowed by him!"
"..."
"However, this is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that once you know any information about him, even just his name, from that moment on, you will be permanently locked by it until everything about you is completely swallowed up by it. ! No one knows how huge it is. Maybe its length has spanned several star fields, or maybe it is everywhere! Maybe, some part of its body is nearby now, but you are too small to know it. It is impossible to observe it, which is the main reason why I sealed the memory of the Devourer in your mind..."
As he said that, Hela looked around cautiously...
"I'm telling you so much just to tell you that Devourers have the most direct connection with the Great Transformation. I know you definitely want to know more details about the Great Transformation, but it's not the time yet."
"Then...my father and mother..."
What Chen Yao wants to know most now is not the big promotion, but where his parents are...
"The Era of the Gods... was extremely chaotic. At the end of the Era of the Gods, your parents successfully broke through the divine level and became true gods. They completed the unification of the entire world and proclaimed themselves the Ancient Wild Emperor. However... the arrival of the great promotion made The entire world is completely collapsed and in chaos. As the rulers of the world, they——"
Having said this, Binding God suddenly fell silent without any warning.
"As the only descendant of the Ancient Desolate Emperor and the only fused successor of the Pangu bloodline, you are qualified to know these truths, but your memory blockade has been automatically lifted. Chen Yao, you are a smart child. I think... you It should be already clear, I don’t need to say more, right?”
Yes, Chen Yao should have expected such a result, but... he still couldn't believe it. His parents... had already sacrificed in the great promotion, otherwise he would not have been entrusted to Jiang Zu. Sealed under the Black Abyss, he didn't wake up until hundreds of stars later...
"Okay~ Don't be too depressed. Although the Ancient Wilderness clan is extinct, but you are still alive, the Pangu bloodline will one day shine brightly in the world. The burden on your shoulders now is not light~"
Hela lifted Chen Yao's chin with her jade hand, gently put it into her arms and comforted him.
"Well... I almost forgot, there is one thing that you must be very interested in..."
"What's going on?" Chen Yao struggled to get out of the pair of Wen Ruan, curiously asking.
"That friend of yours is called An, right?"
"Yes, Sister Hela! As long as I collect another fragment of the Pillar of Time, I can-"
The excited Chen Yao's mouth was gently blocked by a jade finger stretched out by Hai La.
"Hee~ Then you are thinking too simply. Let me tell you this. As long as the Devourer is not completely annihilated, your friends will never be rescued, because the person the Gustav family signed the contract with is not the person rumored to be. The Golden Crow God is the Devourer! Now, your friend may be trapped in a time trap created by the Devourer, or maybe in its belly..."
“!!!!!!”
Damn...
At this moment, Chen Yao felt that the pressure on his shoulders had become much heavier again...
"It's much more difficult to save him than what the blue perverted bald man said. There are still many things you need to do, such as continuing to improve your level. To put it ten thousand steps back, if the Devourer is not eliminated, you will have to wait until The second great transformation is coming, and by that time, your friends, your relatives, and everything around you may turn into nothingness, including those related memories, all of which will... disappear forever!"
"..."
Hela had already expected this step, but it might not be a bad thing for Chen Yao to know these secrets earlier...
"Okay, it's time for me to go back. Don't forget our agreement."
"Puff, puff, puff..."
The black barrier dissipated, and the God-binding clone quickly integrated into Chen Yao's body, and his consciousness returned to his original body, leaving only the stunned Chen Yao...
"Promise...?"
"Chen Yao! Are you okay?!"
Qiu Yunxi, who had been waiting outside for more than half a week, rushed forward, grabbed Chen Yao's arm and looked around. The painful moans that came from the tentacle barrier just now made her very worried... .
"It's okay, the promotion has been completed, look!"
Chen Yao took Qiu Yunxi in his arms and stretched out his right wrist to show her the completely unsealed Chosen Ring...
"Wow! Brother Yao! Your binding ring is so beautiful!"
Hearing the commotion, Qiu Yueli also stepped forward to join in the fun...
"Hey, now it's time to collect debts! Children, come back to daddy!" Chen Yao put his arms around the waists of the two sisters.
"Yeah yeah yeah! We can finally leave!"
Hearing Chen Yao's call, the little ones transformed into their initial forms and quickly activated the fusion spell to fuse with Chen Yao's body...
"Wait a minute, Chen Yao, let's go to the Nansha tribe first! During this period, the children have been taken care of by the Sand people..."
"Well, you are right, you should thank them."
"Okay, you two, hurry up! I'll try to see how far my strength has grown first, hehe..."
Chen Yao bent his knees slightly, and after a short period of energy accumulation, he used his legs to leap nearly a hundred meters high!
"Ah! It's too high, Brother Yao!!!"
"Hahahaha! This is fun!"
Following Qiu Yueli's exclamation, Chen Yao's figure disappeared into the sea of sand in the sky in a few jumps...
"After handling some details and small nodes, it's almost the end of the chapter..."
