The magician's introduction, the dog... no, the dog emperor, no, the dog owner, understood, and the evil and wild smile became even more unrestrained.
Dog owner: "Woof woof woof - woof woof!"
Zheng Xiu and the orange cat looked at each other, neither of them understanding what the other was barking at.
Very puzzled.
It is normal for normal people not to understand dog language, but Zheng Xiu is a god and Anne is the master of loopholes. For gods, "language" will not be a "barrier" to their communication at all, let alone Zheng Xiu also understands [foreign languages] 】.
Even so, Zheng Xiu and Annie still couldn't understand. It is as if there is a "language barrier" between dogs and humans that even the master cannot easily break through.
The magician smiled: "Only its 'authorized' existence can understand its language."
Zheng Xiu was surprised for a moment, and suddenly he had a clear understanding in his heart. He no longer looked down upon the terrifying existence that looked like a dog, but was actually a dog. In an instant, it was as if a dog whisper opened Zheng Xiu's Heavenly Spirit Cap, and he felt that he had vaguely touched the true meaning of the "dominance" level.
Concentrate and reach the top. The owner of the dog takes the "dog" to the extreme, the real dog, the extreme dog, the endless dog. When the dog reaches the end, the great road is completed, and he returns to his original nature.
"Wait a minute, don't you think it's strange?" Annie saw the understanding expression on Zheng Xiu's face and was confused: "Is it so easy to become a master? Doesn't it mean that the streets are full of 'masters'?"
"Ahem." The magician held up his top hat, with an embarrassed but polite look on his fair face. His eyes lingered on the small hole in Anne's chest for a moment, and he explained: "Not long ago, this person was... Elegance' and now he has accidentally become a 'loophole' adult."
"Um?"
The smile on the magician's face did not diminish, but his next words seemed to have completely changed.
"Once, yes."
Annie was shocked: "Huh?"
The magician shook his head: "It's been too long since you left. Too long, too long, too long."
Looking at the bat statues all over the yard, Annie, who had been holding back for a long time, finally exploded. She slapped her paw on the table, and the cat's whiskers twitched wildly: "You blame me???"
"Cough cough cough."
The magician coughed dryly and snapped his fingers. Bang~ All the bats in the yard slowly turned around and changed their directions, while turning their backs to Annie. The main theme is to hide one's ears and steal the bell, and keep one's eyes closed.
Zheng Xiu touched Annie's furry head, and Annie instantly calmed down and took a sip of black tea.
The magician looked at Zheng Xiu with gratitude, and then let out a sigh: "Once... yes."
At this time, Sunny Baby suddenly interrupted the "peak conversation" on the table: "We tracked that guy! Sure enough, that guy was able to accelerate towards a coordinate in the Black Source Sea without a 'route'! If we track this guy For this route, our brothers on board... may bear the impact of 'time', 'space', 'reincarnation', 'pollution', and 'numerology'!"
The magician waved his hand: "Open all outside defenses and seal all passages."
"It's such a huge consumption. I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on to the next performance."
"It doesn't matter."
The magician lowered the brim of his hat and said with a smile, "This may be our last show."
Zheng Xiu's eyes froze slightly.
The surrounding lights suddenly became erratic. Zheng Xiu looked at the sky around him while listening to the sounds from the lower realm of the Magic Kingdom.
Wail, lament, wail, neigh.
Time is accelerating and space is oscillating.
Someone is just born and becomes a pile of ashes in the blink of an eye. But some people are young and young, and in the blink of an eye, they have entered the next reincarnation.
Partings between life and death are happening rapidly in the lower world. Natural disasters spread unscrupulously in the lower world.
While Zheng Xiu was listening to the "Voice of All Things", the magician seemed to know that Zheng Xiu was listening, and said slowly: "Divinity is benevolent, rational, and efficient, but at the same time, it is also cruel."
"If you don't become a god, you will end up being an ant. We pity the ants, but at the same time, we will look on coldly at the 'fate' of the ants." The magician picked up the tea cup, took a helpless sip, and asked the calm Zheng Xiu: "What if you are on a fast road?" In the river, I saw a nest of ants that could be submerged by the river at any time. Will you save it?"
Zheng Xiu quickly replied: "It can be saved, but it can't be saved."
"Qualified God."
The magician nodded and snapped his fingers again. Long black boxes that looked like coffins rose up silently in the garden. Each box was tied with layers of chains, and in front of each box stood a member of the Zheng family.
Qing Shisan and others stared blankly at the box in front of them. The chain on the box fell off automatically. When the box was opened, the inside was as deep as a black hole.
Zheng Xiu frowned, showing half doubt.
"Magic: Great transformation into a living person." The magician smiled and said: "The destination of this ship has no seats reserved for mortals. This magic can turn people into 'themselves one hundred years later'. They all have it." The seeds of authority have the possibility of becoming a god. If you still can't become a god after a hundred years, then just spend the rest of your life in illusory 'magic'. Maybe, this is a happier thing."
When everyone heard this, their expressions changed.
Annie's eyes flashed, she was silent for a moment, and said seriously to Zheng Xiu: "Although I don't want to admit it, what he said...makes sense."
"As for living the rest of your life in the real world..." The magician mentioned another possibility, and he smiled apologetically: "Sorry, I could have used an escape tunnel to send them to the location where I anchored. . Unfortunately, now, there is no place for mortals to live in any of the four quadrants."
“…all things are coming to an end.”
Zheng Xiu slowly spit out six words.
When the magician heard this, he was slightly startled and quite surprised: "You know?"
Zheng Xiu nodded: "I heard it."
"where?"
"Heiyuan Haili."
"Did you soak it in!?" The magician's expression changed, and the delicate teacup in his hand broke to the ground. But he soon realized his gaffe, turned his hand, and performed a magic trick, and the cup was restored, along with the hot tea inside.
"Did it." Zheng Xiu didn't hide it.
"Ha...haha. 6!"
The magician sat down again.
"I finally understand." Not far away, Qing Shisan lowered his head to light a cigarette and squinted his eyes: "It seems we have no choice."
"A hundred years..." Xi'er grimaced.
Yue Linglong closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.
Except for two people, everyone else was silent. Along the way, especially after the Kingdom of God built by Feng Bei experienced a fierce battle, they knew the horror of the "War of Gods". Mortals above gods are not even qualified to be cannon fodder. What's more, there are two "masters" sitting here, a cat and a dog.
Qing Shisan slowly blew out a fancy smoke ring and grinned: "Can a few people enter this box together? Qing has no other intention, just wants to have a companion."
The magician politely extended his hand and said, "Of course."
Ji Hongou took the initiative to hold Qing Yusheng, who was covered with pendants, like a devil boy and the little thunder god coming into the world, and held Qing Shisan's hand with the other hand. The three of them bowed deeply to Zheng Xiu at the same time. They maintained this posture for three seconds before standing up and saying in unison: "Master, see you in a hundred years."
"Dad, mother, will the child become an old man?"
"It's okay. He's as old as he is. He's so handsome." Ji Hongou touched the child's head.
Qing Yusheng seems to understand but not understand.
Qing Shisan said: "Don't worry, in a hundred years, I will definitely be more handsome than my son."
"Bah, you have never been serious in your life, and you are more handsome than my son." Ji Hongou complained, paused, and smiled: "But you did give our son a good name seriously."
"Celebrate the rest of my life, celebrate the rest of my life, this time I have responded to the occasion." The three of them entered hand in hand.
Pei Gaoya rushed in without saying a word. He had already lost all worries.
"I have a question." Xi'er looked at Zheng Xiu shyly: "If Xi'er's hair turns gray, will it still look good?"
Zheng Xiu thought for a while: "It looks good."
Xi'er happily walked into the box while wringing her fingers.
"When we become a god, our old waist can be cured! If it can't be cured, we will still make a lot of money if we live for another hundred years!" The old miracle doctor then thought about it and was happy. It is indeed not a loss. Jun Buxiao suddenly appeared behind the old miracle doctor, laughed strangely, and kicked the old miracle doctor's waist. The old miracle doctor screamed and disappeared into the magic box. Jun Buxiao also turned back to Zheng Xiu and made a face. , got in.
"master……"
The four orchid girls took three steps and turned back.
Leaf and Snake sisters holding hands.
"It's not a bad idea to go on to serve as an official for another hundred years!" Jiang Gaoyi was full of high spirits, chatting like a teenager.
"Brother, wait a hundred years for the little monk, and let's go together and bring our sister back!"
The monk touched his bald head, smiled purely, and walked gracefully.
Blind Wangwei chose a box and walked in while carrying the motionless Gu Qiutang with a smile.
Everyone entered one by one, they understood the magician's words, accepted their own cowardice, and walked towards their own destiny.
In the end, only Yue Linglong was left.
After she opened her eyes, her gaze never left Zheng Xiu and she never said a word.
Until there was no one around.
Zheng Xiu looked at Yue Linglong: "Yue'er, you don't have to force yourself."
Hearing this, Yue Linglong smiled playfully and suppressed the complicated emotions in her eyes: "Yue'er doesn't want to lose to her." She walked towards the magical magic box and took half a step. Yue Linglong's shoulders trembled slightly. She couldn't bear it. He turned around, his lips were slightly white, and he opened his mouth several times with a variety of questions. She knew she shouldn't ask and couldn't ask. Finally, there was only one sentence left: "If Yue'er is incompetent and spends the rest of her life in there, unable to get out, my husband...will he forget Yue'er."
"……Won't."
Zheng Xiu replied.
Yue Linglong smiled in relief.
From the beginning, she only wanted a position, the position in Zheng Xiu's heart.
That's all.
She wasn't the only one, not from the beginning.
…
Soon, only the two gods, the cat and the dog, the sunny doll, and the "big transformation into living beings" magic box all over the yard were left in the magician's garden.
Seemingly relaxed but full of heavy farewells time and time again, Zheng Xiu silently picked up the cup and sipped the black tea, his eyes flashed, and there was no more waves. For a moment just now, he hated his divinity for being able to look at this separation so rationally. He didn't know how many people would break through the life span of mortals and come out transformed into living gods after they entered this box. But the "sadness", "regret", "sadness", "hate" and "helplessness" were all chopped off by the divinity like a sword at the very moment they appeared, leaving only the "sitting quietly" in his heart. "Divinity" and "Humanity", and a clear lake with no ripples like a mirror.
Annie frowned: "Is it so fast to become a god now?"
Anne felt like there were thousands of dogs running wild in her heart, and she had a ridiculous feeling that "the times have changed."
"It's not that fast." The magician thought for a moment and said, "The fastest record... should be the time it takes a glass of wine."
"Let's get down to business." Zheng Xiu tapped his index finger on the table. The casual afternoon tea atmosphere in the garden was incompatible with the current serious situation. Zheng Xiu realized that the magician's "magic" was not without cost.
The magician shut everyone into the box in this way, as if he had something to say. Of course, with the magician's ability, he would not resort to such unreasonable magic as "transforming a living person" just for this reason. Zheng Xiu was sincerely grateful for the magician's gift.
The magician saw through Zheng Xiu's thoughts and said with a smile: "Nothing else. If children hear these words, I am afraid that even optimistic thoughts such as 'effort' and 'struggle' will be instantly wiped out." Destroyed, only boundless 'despair' remains."
Beautiful pastries and cookies appeared on the table.
The dog gnawed happily.
"A long, long time ago..."
The magician crossed his legs, sat elegantly, and used a corny opening statement.
"Similar legends circulate in all four quadrants."
"And the one next door to me is 'The Lord of the Origin Sea, there must be no tenth place'."
Annie nodded and recalled the memory that she had almost forgotten: "When I was still stuck in the bottleneck of becoming a god, I vaguely heard about it."
"Of course, everyone was still connected to the Internet at that time, and everything was available online." The magician smiled:
"In that era, the masters all had pursuits. We sailed according to the rules, walked through routes, gathered world ships one after another, and destroyed all obstacles blocking the routes."
"We fight, we stick together, we create the world, we destroy the world, the gods and masters are all growing like crazy."
"We once longed to reach the 'end'."
"Legend has it that there is 'everything' that no matter whether it is a god or a master, it is 'everything' that any master can or cannot imagine."
"After an extremely long voyage, all the gods and masters found in despair that the 'end' does not exist."
"So they stopped sailing."
"The old antiques who have lived for countless epochs, some are worried, some are afraid, some find life boring, and some want to seek better opponents... For various reasons, several masters took the lead and carried out a battle 'game'."
"A... so-called 'competitive game' in which all beings above gods can place bets and participate."
"It was a sinking ship, a genius who was marginalized and turned back."
Zheng Xiu listened quietly. He felt that what the magician said was too far away from him. Zheng Xiu couldn't help but look down at the orange cat who was drinking black tea through a straw. The orange cat rolled its eyes: "Don't look at me. At that time, those beings were like big shots. I don't like it. I was still a kid at that time.”
"I understand." Zheng Xiu nodded: "You are not even qualified to place bets."
"snort."
The magician nodded: "Yes, she didn't."
"But what no one expected was that an 'accident' happened at the end of that game."
Zheng Xiu frowned: "Accident?"
"One... no, one..., no, no, one..." The magician held his chin in distress: "I'm sorry, I don't know how to describe that 'accident'."
Zheng Xiu followed the story and guessed the ending: "Tenth place?"
The magician shook his head: "To be precise, it's not. What was born from that accident was...'something', a 'thing' that even our leader was amazed by."
"It was that accident that completely changed the pattern of Yuanhai."
"Many masters were 'deleted', and our Nightmare Troupe made a lot of money, becoming the most powerful force in that quadrant after that 'thing'."
"delete?"
Zheng Xiu and Orange Cat looked surprised at the same time. He had always accepted the theory that masters and gods would not die, but would only go back and eventually become part of the source. Look at how miserable the orange cat is. Chance and coincidence exist in another way. How tenacious it is.
But the magician used the word "delete" which made Anne's hair stand on end.
She couldn't imagine what it was like to be "deleted".
"That's what it means literally." The magician continued: "Since then, generations have changed. Without the constraints of the group headed by the 'Lord of Justice', becoming a master is as simple as becoming a god." The magician lowered his head. He glanced at Gouzi who was eating and drinking, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. Zheng Xiu and Annie followed the magician's gaze and suddenly understood. The three guys understood each other tacitly, and the magician continued: "From then on, the pattern of Yuanhai entered a new era."
Zheng Xiu: "You haven't said what the 'thing' that was born unexpectedly is."
The magician did not answer Zheng Xiu's question, but instead asked another question: "Do you think the path to becoming a master is the right way?"
Zheng Xiu was stunned. He suddenly remembered the messy sounds he heard when he was immersed in the Black Origin Sea and the complicated and huge "collective consciousness" merged into his consciousness.
The magician asked this question not because he wanted Zheng Xiu to answer:
"The new generation is full of vigor and vitality. They became the masters too quickly. It was incredibly fast, so they all thought that they were the darlings of the new generation."
"So, they set off one after another, continuing to search for...'the end' that has been passed down for countless years."
"Legend has it that there is the 'truth', that is the 'whole', that is the 'only', that is 'everything'. It is... 'above the master'."
"Listen..." The magician closed his eyes, as if remembering the madness of that era: "What a tempting thing that is."
Gudong.
The orange cat on the side actually swallowed a mouthful of saliva, showing a longing expression.
Zheng Xiu looked at Annie in surprise. According to him, Annie was not such a motivated leader.
"Did you see it?" The magician looked at Zheng Xiu with a meaningful look: "The attraction of the 'end' to the 'master' is instinctive, irresistible, and irresistible."
"It's like there's something there, catalyzing everything, accelerating everything, like... looking for something."
Zheng Xiu felt an inexplicable chill down his spine. The magician's description gave Zheng Xiu a... strange illusion. The whole thing is very strange, whether it is the explosion between the master and the god, or the attraction of the "end" to the "master" - "raising gu", a strange word suddenly popped up in Zheng Xiu's mind. He suddenly blurted out: "The 'thing' that was born from the accident has gone to what you call the 'end'!"
Snap, snap, snap.
The magician smiled and clapped his hands, showing an expression of relief. He originally thought that explaining the long "history" to a god would take a lot of time. But Zheng Xiu quickly understood, which made the magician very happy.
"He went, but he... escaped."
"That set in motion everything that happened."
"finally."
"There has never been a place that any master has been able to find before. It's like clear coordinates suddenly appeared, appearing at the 'end' of every master's route."
"They...have arrived at the end one after another."
Having said this, the magician's hand holding the tea cup trembled slightly, and ripples appeared in the cup.
