Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

Kant sat on a chair, holding a cup of hot brewed milk tea in his hand, breathing slowly.

The scene in front of him finally returned to normal. Familiar people and things were in front of him, and the world of white mist clearly existed in the strings of time and space, under complete induction.

The door to space can be activated at any time.

The heart palpitations that I experienced before have now turned into fear.

The lonely scene of gloomy eyes, no response from the white fog world, and no trace of his companions touched his heart and reminded him of the past he didn't want to recall.

When I just crossed to the isolated island, it was the first time I lost in my life.

Now that he has more, he can no longer afford the third time.

The gorilla half-squatted by his hand, holding his hand worriedly.

Just like when she was in the Sacred Islands, on that deep and terrifying night, she and Kant snuggled up to face possible threats in the dark. At that time, Kant first met an ape and rescued her, who was besieged by black beasts, and was recovering from her injuries. The first few days of friendship and trust were established.

It used to be soft fur, but now it is smooth skin, and the eyes of the gorilla are still as innocent and ethereal as before, and all they contain is worry and concern.

Even now that Aang has something on his mind, he is dazed from time to time, looks around, his eyes are blank, but when he hears his shouting and sees his panic, he now forgets all his worries and only sees him.

Kant shook her hand gently, indicating that it was all right.

The gorilla responded with a smile.

"You said, you just saw the past?"

Long Niang sat on the other side and waited until Kant's breathing was steady and his eyes were calm before asking the question.

Kant's eyes fluctuated for a moment, and then he nodded slowly.

"Then what did you see?"

"...I saw the scene here, you are gone, the darker environment, the environment has changed, those luminous lenses between the rocks, there are not so many, there is light in the distance, there is water near, can hear the size of the body The sound of beasts moving, and the calls of birds...a lot more lively than now."

Kant replied slowly: "The others, I didn't see clearly."

Lily leaned forward with a look of interest and curiosity in her eyes: "Are you sure it was a scene from the past? Could it be some kind of hallucination or something?"

"No, I can confirm, it's not a hallucination." Kant replied, "Time and space...that's another time and space."

Only in this way can we explain why the magical powers are still there, but the White Mist World cannot respond to the call, and even the location of the White Mist World cannot be perceived in the dark.

Hallucinations are even less likely.

The phoenix vision is the eye that breaks the illusion, and the magical power of the fire thief is even more shattering.

Long Niang nodded lightly: "Based on your superb attainments in aspect science, I agree with your judgment for the time being. If you really see a scene from the past, then this is probably..."

She paused for a moment and said slowly, "Time flashes back."

"According to the literal meaning, a time fault from the past was observed by chance." Kant's mood slowly calmed down, and he opened his mouth to analyze, "Is there any similar records?"

He made a contract with Akatoum, the dragon **** of time and space, and has the power of time and space. Although compared with the great power of the king of the gods, which straightens the time axis and turns the world from chaos to order, his ability is different. If you say it’s fur, it can only be counted as a molecular bond at the tip of a hair—but it’s still a primer.

It is precisely because he has the power of time that he is very concerned about the phenomenon of time that he encounters.

From the time he traveled to another world, the things he encountered and the things he did were all implicated, and this should not be accidental.

"Yes, but it is very rare. Since the birth of intelligent beings, there are always beings who claim that they have been enlightened by the gods, or have seen the past, or encountered the future. Among these so-called prophets, many of them are false, so Do it just to satisfy your own selfish desires and selfishness, it is easy to pierce and distinguish.”

"There's another part, it's hard to tell if it's true or false, because it's hard to distinguish this kind of thing. You don't know whether the other party has hallucinations or really saw the past..."

Kant asked: "Is there another small part that is a real hammer?"

"If the 'real hammer' is a credible case with solid evidence, then my answer is no."

Lily replied: "In this era, about the time and space flashbacks, the Dragon Clan recorded a total of three cases, but not the three cases of 'encountered time and space flashbacks', but "these creatures did see a certain picture"."

"...I don't quite understand, how do you say it?"

"The first case is from the previous era, the decline and demise of the Ryders dwarves. A certain dwarf lord claimed to have encountered a time flashback phenomenon and saw the planet left by the heyday of the rock tribe in the previous era. A spectacle, an endless mine dug into the core of the planet forever, and the furnace road is full of extremely compressed natural magic stones, high-quality rare metal minerals and countless gold."

"No one believed him at first, and then with his personal wealth and prestige he called an expedition to find the way to the furnace mentioned in the flashback phenomenon, and the dwarves were watching his jokes."

"But a year later, the good news came that they did find the mine, which was exactly the same as what the lord saw in the past. The mine they brought back made the entire Rune Alliance boil, and all the major countries joined together. Follow up, and start investing huge financial and human resources to reopen the buried wealth road, break through the burial of crustal changes, and continue to go deeper."

"The lord's prestige rose to the peak in an instant, he became the hero of all dwarves, and was nominated as the next dwarf king. The king is enough to rank with the legendary kings of all dynasties."

Kant heard this and said, "If, you used the word "if...he failed?"

"No, he succeeded. The dwarves invested a lot of manpower and material resources, and finally opened up the endless mines dug by the rock tribe, and then..."

Kant asked curiously, "Then?"

Lily rolled her eyes: "Then they saw a world full of magma, sulfur and black rivers, and then countless demons rushed out of the hole."

"The horrified dwarves tried desperately to stop it. A few days later, the impatient **** lords destroyed the environment of the lava lake around the cave below the entrance, detonating the lava vent at the bottom of the lake."

"The huge pressure pushed countless magma to spray out the hole that the dwarves dug through again, instantly killing the essence of all the Ryders dwarves gathered there, and sending countless hellfire giants, obsidian teleportation arrays and The molten demons sprayed all the way to the ground, turning this so-called endless mine into a crater, and continuously tossing a large number of demons and teleportation circles around the world."

"The Invasion of Hell begins."

Kant was shocked when he heard this: "Fuck, the devil lives down there?"

Lily took it for granted: "...otherwise?"

"...I thought they were all on the other plane."

"Mortals understand this, and there is no difference. Although they are on the same planet, the area where the devil lives is relatively close to the surface. It is a distance that physical methods can never cross, and it can even be said that it can never be reached. Generally speaking, the devil wants to When you come to the surface, you can only rely on summoning rituals and teleportation formations."

Kant was a little worried, he looked around: "Here..."

"...It's only less than two thousand meters deep here. Do you know how deep the road to destruction is? The idiots of the Rock Clan have been digging for more than a thousand years - it's far from it, don't worry."

Only then did Kant feel relieved: "Hell invasion... How was it solved at that time?"

The huge crater kept spewing out demons, hellfire giants, and teleportation formations, and the whole world was affected, causing a catastrophe—could it be that the last era ended like this?

Hearing this, Lily showed a strange smile, shook her head and sneered: "It's very easy to solve, the stupid [beep] in **** who took a magma bath, I'm afraid they haven't shot for thousands of years, and they erupted in one breath. Excessive amounts of magma and dust spread across the sky, covering two-thirds of the sky at that time on the continent, and the smoky clouds spread to the world within a few months, isolating sunlight, and the temperature plummeted, entering eternal winter..."

"Then the demons that came out were frozen at the time, and their combat effectiveness dropped by at least 70%, so that the first thing they did when they came to the surface was to build a heat tower, and they shrank in a warm area and couldn't move."

"At that time, the tribes of the mainland were able to gather their elite forces, recapture the eruption area, push the demons back, and after defeating the invasion of hell, then find a way to disperse the clouds and let the sun return to the earth..."

Lily said this indifferently: "But the long-term cold has caused a huge reduction in food production, causing countless famines and deaths, and the extinction of a large number of living beings, which has become the incentive for the end of the previous era..."

Kant sighed.

What a heavy lesson.

He immediately reacted: "The time that the dwarf lord saw flashed back..."

"Yes, it was recorded, because the price was really heavy, and it had a significant impact on the progress of the world, but there is still debate within the dragon race as to whether what the lord saw was a flashback in time. Conspiracy theorists believe that, It's not a fragment of the past, but the whispers and deceptions of a certain demon lord. In short, both sides disagree, but the mainstream view still believes that it is indeed a flashback phenomenon."

Lily shrugged and said: "The second and third cases are similar, but not as explosive. For example, in the second case, the emperor of the Vitouan Empire saw his queen and the chief of the temple warriors on their wedding night ten years ago. The episode of cheating, and the following years, I watched several scenes in a row..."

Kant said abruptly: "I want to listen to this! Hurry up and talk about it! The first example should be mentioned in one stroke!"

Long Niang spat: "What's so nice? Isn't it that on the wedding night when the emperor was drunk, the queen was raped in front of him, while the emperor was giving a speech in the palace hall, the queen was hiding in the lounge and was raped, and the emperor was criticizing it next door. During official documents, the queen was **** in the bedroom, in front of the wedding portrait, in front of the son in the cradle, in the tub, in the closet..."

Kant patted the chair: "Damn it was recorded? How did you know?"

Long Niang spat: "This matter was a big deal at the time, because the queen was born in the Starry Sky Temple, so she couldn't handle it in private, and her son didn't look like him. , and finally became known to the world, and opened the prelude to the struggle between the Vitouan Empire's regime and theocratic power, and thus launched a great legal discussion."

"The joint court in charge of adjudication invited time and space scholars and great magicians of all ethnic groups to participate in the debate, that is, whether the phenomenon of time and space flashback really exists, and whether it can be valid as the testimony of the parties..."

"In the end, the civil war began, and the Starry Sky Temple and the Vitouan Empire both declined."

Kande said in a complicated tone, "Grass, so casual."

"What do you think politics is? A group of wily superiors who can never make mistakes are playing big chess?" Lily glanced at him, "No, politics is a lot of times, it's a mistake, it's a mutual comparison, and it's confused. To win is to lose clearly, there are thousands of reasons for winning, and the reason for losing is only one stupid word, because two waves of stupid disasters keep making mistakes, and then the less stupid group wins."

Kant shook his head: "A little extreme."

Lily said proudly: "I am a giant dragon."

This is not a debatable question, Kant asked: "What about the third case?"

"The third case is a bit vague. It was in the period of the great fission at the end of the last era. At that time, the dragons were too busy to take care of themselves. The world collapsed, the climate was abnormal, countless lives fell, and the species died. A safe place for disaster, but the mortal races can only stay on the fragmented earth and struggle, this time and space flashback is just a vaguely heard rumor."

"It is said that on the doomsday wasteland, there is a great guardian trying to establish order in the darkness and preserve the fire of civilization. She claims to have received inspiration and warnings from the past, and a great creature has shown her the mission and the road. , civilization and hope, she tells others about the enlightenment like a dream, and spreads the meaning of mutual help, kindness, sacrifice and morality to people, and establishes the last refuge..."

Having said that, Lily looked at Kant.

Kant asked, "And then what?"

"Then the last era is over." Lily spread her hands and said, "The fire was destroyed, and she disappeared."

"…"

Kant rolled his eyes.

Long Niang blinked: "Then the question is, have you found anything in common with these three cases?"

Kant took a deep breath and said angrily, "It's all bad, bastard!"

Long Niang patted him on the shoulder: "Don't think so, if the dwarves did not continue to dig down, but started to mine in the mines that have been excavated, then the Rune Alliance must be soaring in national strength, if the emperor can calm down instead of directly Lifting the table, maybe you can slowly clean up the Starry Sky Temple, if the guardian is stronger, maybe she can lead her subjects to survive into the next era like us."

"They failed, not because they couldn't flash back in time and space, but because they were greedy, stupid, and their own food. You are different from them. Be confident, this is a good thing."

When she said this, she nodded again: "Well, maybe the dwarf lord is just bewitched by the devil, the Emperor Vitouan is a cuckold paranoid, that mysterious leader made up this set of rhetoric to win the hearts of the people, only You just experienced a real time-space flashback."

"This consolation really makes me unhappy."

After drinking the cup of milk tea, Kant put the paper cup aside and exhaled slowly.

He asked, "What should I do?"

Lily looked at the dark mountains and caves in the distance. The light of the lens shone in them, reflecting the dark rock walls. They followed the traces of Ochewell all the way. When they arrived here, the surrounding environment became more complicated. At Chewell's starting point, there are all traces of the dragon madly wandering and colliding-that is to say, the clues of this mad dragon have been cut off.

If you want to continue tracking, you must either find a needle in a haystack or make a new attempt.

"You decide."

Lily said: "We want to find Trixis, but the terrain here is complicated and beyond our imagination. I don't know what the time-space flashback phenomenon means, and I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing, but I know that if Trixis is allowed to complete the plan , that must be the bad of bad things."

Kant was silent for a moment and said, "...What are your thoughts?"

"According to these three examples, space-time flashbacks do not happen randomly, but guide information from the past. The information is good or bad, but it has deep meaning and is closely related to the environment and fate of the encounter. The emperor Facing the secret erosion of the religious power, the dwarf lords are facing the internal and external troubles of the Rune Alliance, and the guardians are facing the end of the era and the demise of everything."

"The time and space flashbacks they saw may be a response to the uneasiness deep in their hearts. I don't know if there is a causal relationship, or if there is some kind of power that is manipulating it, but..."

Lily took a deep breath and said: "There is no road ahead at this moment, maybe a flashback of time and space is a new road, the landscape you see in the past years may contain secrets here, about mysterious elements, about Of the river of origin, of depth and ascension..."

"We can't find Trixis, there is a way to find the river, that's fine."

Kant listened silently.

"So, my suggestion is to follow the time and space flashback, follow your intuition, from the past description memory, the flashback phenomenon will not happen once, but many times, and it is very detailed, so it will let the encounter They have a deep memory and even believe in them, after all, those few are high-ranking people with excellent minds and extensive knowledge, and if you want them to believe in them, there must be enough truth."

"Follow your feelings, search and search according to the phenomena you see worth paying attention to, maybe you can find new clues..."

When Longniang said this, she slowly said: "Think again, what did you see in the past scene?"

Kant pondered attentively, the dark valley, the sound of the river, the beast passing by below, and there was light in the distance, light, light... The light seemed to be dancing.

like fire.

He whispered: "The light source...maybe fire, and the rest are hidden in dark outlines, but according to intuition, Lily, I think there was intelligent life here a long time ago."

Long Niang heard the words, her eyes were calm, and she nodded: "Okay, this is the next goal."
