Extraordinary Pedigree.

Chapter 686 The End
When the Black Horse Knight mentioned killing the Red King, Xia Xiu's eyebrows unconsciously frowned slightly.

Although this sentence sounds a bit absurd, Xia Xiu is not surprised at all that Xin Liezhi wants to kill the Crimson King.

All of Terra, or in other words, all intelligent creatures, know that there is bound to be a fateful battle between the Lord of Change in the Changing Sky and the Scarlet King who lives deep in the Crystal Sky.

In the heavens and all worlds, the existence of these two gods remains unresolved.

Their powers overlap so much that they are almost destined to be rivals.

Although they can still coexist for now, Xia Xiu knows that the rules of authority in the extraordinary realm are ruthless: uniqueness is of vital importance.

In the extraordinary realm, imitation and learning might be allowed, but the existence of overlapping authority would never be tolerated, because such existence means conflict, which means that there cannot be two tigers in one mountain.

As the old saying goes: "Those who learn from me will live, those who imitate me will die!!!"

The overlapping power between the Lord of All Changes and the Scarlet King is destined to lead to an all-conquering divine war between the two.

The omen of this battle has been engraved in the long river of history since ancient times, like an inevitable trend of fate.

Historians throughout Terra have passed down this incredible prophecy from generation to generation, waiting for the great decisive battle that would shake the heavens and the earth.

They have counted the power conflicts between gods countless times, explored every possible crack and spark, and are eager to witness the arrival of this war of gods.

However, the time of the gods flows like an eternal torrent, slow and heavy, far exceeding the short life of mortals.

Mortals can only glimpse a moment of the confrontation between gods in their own lives, but cannot see the whole picture.

Countless generations of historians and scholars have been worn away by time while waiting, and have died with white hair, but have still not been able to witness the legendary destined battle with their own eyes.

At the last moment of their lives, they often leave behind a sigh of regret:

"When are these two going to have a life-and-death fight? We are almost dying waiting for this."

This has become one of the common last words of every scholar who studies the history of the Chaos Lord and the Red King branch on his deathbed.

Some scholars even mentioned a poem:

“When will the Scarlet King produce his divine weapon and fight again in the ever-changing sky?

When the heaven is in great order and the red sun appears, how can the chaos of all things cease?
If I could see the gods fight, I would sacrifice my remaining blood for them."

I don't know if these scholars can be considered as super fun-loving people, but before they died, there was quite a sense of sadness in their hearts, "When the royal army conquers the Central Plains in the north, don't forget to tell your father during the family sacrifice."

Rather than worrying about the loss of lives, these scholars who have already fallen are more concerned about when the two "super fun" they are following will start fighting to the death.

Xia Xiu is now truly witnessing history.

One party can no longer tolerate the existence of the other party.

He could clearly feel that a certain balance had been broken, and the Black Horse Knight's proposal was the key.

However, what really puzzled Xia Xiu was how the Black Horse Knight persuaded the other three Ether Lords, especially the Blood God and the Prince of Desire.

Especially the Blood God.

As we all know, these two forces in the ether have been in a state of conquest against each other, fighting for the territory and power that belong to them.

Even now, if you observe the [Ocean of Aether] from the sky above Terra, you can clearly see the Chaos Legions of the Bloody Lord and the Lord of Change fighting each other in the endless void, causing waves in space.

It is incredible that the Blood God is willing to put aside their hatred and participate in the Lord of Change's plan.

What is even more puzzling is that they actually chose to deal with the Red King together.

Xia Xiu's confusion was soon answered, because the black horse knight in front of him spoke in a sonorous and unreserved manner while analyzing the nature of the Crimson King. His confrontational and excited tone seemed to portray the Crimson King as an unforgivable existence in the world.

“Crimson is an entity created by overwhelming, inescapable tension, the howl of the old world facing the cold, grey, meaningless new world.”

The Black Horse Knight's voice seemed to come from all directions, and the space seemed to tremble slightly at his voice.

The blood-red sky gradually lost its initial silence, and an atmosphere of tension that could not be ignored permeated the air.

"He represents destruction, chaos, malice and ruin - He is the symbol of omnipotent malice, cosmic anti-order and ultimate chaos, the forerunner of the end of the world."

With every word uttered, the Black Horse Knight's gaze became more fanatical.

The Red King's presence aroused his deepest hostility.

The suppressed anger burst out through his cold exterior, and the sound rolled out.

Xia Xiu still stood in the palm of the Holy Gospel Machine, his eyes slightly lowered.

He carefully chewed over what the Black Horse Knight said. Although these words seemed full of passion and rational analysis, he felt a strong sense of selfishness and undisguised ambition in them.

"I would never have dreamed that a Chaos Lord would indignantly accuse another Chaos Lord in front of me."

Xia Xiu couldn't help but complain in his heart.

The Black Horse Knight raised his lips slightly and continued his speech.

"The reactionary Red King is different from us. He is the symbol of ultimate destruction and anti-order.

Instead of the lasting influence we desire, the Scarlet King seeks total destruction and anti-reality, and only wishes for the end of the world - he seeks total destruction, and through ritual and sacrifice, he causes the entire world to fall into endless suffering and death, and ultimately eliminates reality. "

Xia Xiu raised his eyes slightly and fell into the unfathomable eyes of the Black Horse Knight.

Those eyes were like a mirror, reflecting the truth of the entire chaotic world, as well as their desire and delusion to maintain order.

The Black Horse Knight continued:

"Kh'rn hates the reactionary Red King because he desires eternal war rather than the end of the world; total destruction of his target would prevent him from continuing to enjoy blood and battle."

"Nag despises the reactionary Red King and his pure destruction, because the Corrupted Garden advocates the cycle of decay and regeneration. They do not want everything to end, but enjoy the process of decay."

"A Salih is intrigued by the extreme pain inflicted by the Scarlet King, but ultimately will not accept total destruction, for he or she wishes to enjoy the extremes of sensory experience rather than end it all."

"As for me, I don't like Him. Although He has the same authority over fate as me, He is like a second-rate writer. His writing and actions are too obsessed with 'finality', which is contrary to the change I pursue. What I hope to see is eternal change, not complete destruction."

"While we both represent forces of chaos and destruction, our goals and motivations are drastically different."

"We seek to maintain an endless cycle of chaos, corruption, and fighting, while the Crimson King seeks to end reality and existence through extreme destruction - we seek to maintain an endless cycle of chaos for eternity, while the Crimson King seeks an absolute end."

“In chaos, only one concept is allowed.”

These words were like thunder exploding in the sky. The light in the Black Horse Knight's eyes became increasingly fiery, and his tone was filled with solemnity and determination.

Xia Xiu's eyes couldn't stop twitching.

Although the Black Horse Knight's words were powerful and so righteous, it made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"This guy is just making the chaos-stirring behavior sound like the savior of the world."

He could almost see the two theories clashing:

Sustainable exhaustion of resources vs. final destruction of all enemies.

Essentially, this is a comparison of two bad choices, and neither side is better off.

It is indeed...

The contradiction between shit-smelling chocolate and chocolate-like shit.

If you really have to compare, choose the lesser of two evils.

As for the shit-smelling chocolate, at least there is a chocolate shell on the outside, which is acceptable if you can bear it; as for the chocolate-shaped shit, it is really shit inside and out.

Not to mention...

Compared to the true nature of the Crimson King who destroys everything, the trouble-making attributes of the Four Chaos Lords seem particularly "kind-hearted".

Although both Chaos have fallen, the "trouble maker" role of the Four Chaos Lords seems to still have a glimmer of room to survive. At least they can barely maintain the status quo and not let the whole world collapse all at once.

Xia Xiu stared at the black horse knight quietly, his golden pupils were like an impenetrable mirror, hiding his true emotions.

The Black Horse Knight's speech gradually reached a climax, and his voice was filled with a kind of fanatical passion:
"The essence of the Crimson King is the last howl of the old world! He is the rebel against the cold, gray, and meaningless new world!"

"As long as He is here, Terra will not be able to move towards a new world, and humans will never be able to break through that false starry sky!"

The Black Horse Knight opened his hands slightly, showing the grand blueprint he had drawn:
"So, we hope you will join us...in banishing the old night!!!"

He paused, as if waiting for Xia Xiu's reaction, but after seeing the other party's calm expression, he continued:
"When the time comes, you will slay the Crimson King in the physical world, and we will ambush His origin in the ether - together we will dismember the Crimson King!"

"You will obtain the true essence of the End, and the four of us, the monarchs, will obtain the origin of Chaos and expel the reactionary king in Chaos."

The Black Horse Knight's voice was full of temptation and power, and his tone became more and more firm:

"It will be a win-win situation, Hugh Abraham."

Xia Xiu remained silent, his expression unchanged. No matter how brilliant the Black Horse Knight's speech was, he was still...

I don't believe a penny of it.

Xia Xiu was the kind of person who would carefully weigh the interests, but when dealing with Chaos, he knew that there were dangers and traps hidden behind every word of the other party.

Although these monarchs offered generous chips on the surface, the price behind this might be much higher than he imagined.

Those who arrogantly believed that they had a cooperative relationship with the Four Monarchs are now completely trapped.

He stared at the Black Horse Rider silently, his mind working rapidly.

The basis for the four monarchs to cooperate with him is what they call "the real perfect prosthesis".

This is the prerequisite for the other party to cooperate with me, so that I can move towards miracles and possess a "truly perfect prosthesis".

Furthermore, they have their sights set on the kingdom of heaven.

The Dark Horse Knight's claim that they are only talking about cooperation with themselves and not involving the Kingdom of Heaven is pure nonsense.

After all, when Xia Xiujun performs miracles, the crown of the vice-king of the Kingdom of Heaven will inevitably fall on his head, and the Kingdom of Heaven and he are inseparable.

The four monarchs certainly understood this. What they needed was to use Xia Xiu's power to influence the decision of the Kingdom of Heaven, this monster in the world.

The essence of the cooperation is indeed before our eyes, whether it is the fifty so-called "perfect embryos", the apocalyptic war that can sweep everything, or the other party's plan to exterminate the Red King...

First of all, there are fifty "perfect embryos", fifty [miracles].

No one can say for sure how many problems these fifty embryos have.

Even if there are embryos that can survive, they are more likely to be contaminated by Chaos, or simply puppets controlled by them.

Fifty miracles?
Everyone can brag, and according to the Black Horse Knight, there is something wrong with all fifty embryos.

It is hard to say how many will survive and how many of the surviving embryos will be normal.

The second cooperation message: Destroy the Red King in the War of Apocalypse.

It was the first time he heard about the war in the Book of Revelation, and also the first time he learned about the Seven Seals.

From the words of the Black Horse Knight, we can infer that the Red King exists in the material world. If we want to destroy him, we must act on both the etheric and material levels.

Because of the fifty embryos, it was natural for him to be chosen by them as their "partner" in the material world.

Xia Xiu's thoughts only lasted a moment in reality, but in his mind it seemed like countless rounds had passed.

He slowly raised his eyes, his gaze piercing through the sky and locking onto the four Apocalypse Knights holding the Seal.

He understood one thing from the beginning to the end: when he appeared in this place and faced these four monarchs, he had no choice.

Can he say he won't cooperate?

Will these monarchs, who are unstoppable, fully prepared and powerful, just stop and leave?
Stop dreaming.

He knew very well what the situation before him meant, and there was no choice left.

When you stand at the crossroads of fate, sometimes you will find that the so-called "road of choice" never actually existed.

Taking a deep breath, Xia Xiu decided to temporarily put aside the huge mysteries that he was currently unable to touch - the War of Apocalypse, the Seven Seals, and the fateful battle with the Red King.

Now, he needs to focus on the things that are most relevant to the current situation.

Then, he looked up at the black horse knight, a cold light flashing in his eyes, and asked:
"Where did you get the fifty embryos?"

The four knights looked at each other, with meaningful smiles on their lips, as if they were expecting Xia Xiu's reaction.

The Black Horse Knight responded slowly, with a mysterious revelation in his voice:
"The mother of these embryos is the 'World Tree'. It takes root in the heavens and all realms, absorbing the essence of all living things. The ivy - the roots that never wither, is the cradle that nurtures them."

The Knight on the White Horse took over the conversation, his voice low and solemn, as if coming from the depths of ancient times:

“That’s why we participated in the earth-shaking turmoil in Terra.

Our goal is to create a container strong enough, a 'lost paradise' that can support the growth of these embryos."

The Gray Horse Knight uttered a hoarse sneer, his eyes piercing through all illusions:
"These embryos will thrive in the war of the ivy, and like greedy seedlings, they will suck the life essence of the living gods.

Their power comes from the foundation of the world, from the suffering of all things.

But remember, they are not really children.”

Xia Xiu narrowed his eyes and listened quietly without saying a word.

He knew that what the Red Horse Rider was going to say next was the cruelest truth.

The wild laughter of the Red Horse Rider rang out, like a war drum beating in the sky, and the laughter was filled with bloodthirsty madness and the burning flames of war:
"Hahaha! Plunder, kill, invade, ravage, sweep, and rob - this is their nature! You are not the all-father they are born to fear, and they are not born to bow down to you! You want them? Then you must find them in endless wars and killings, fight for them, and even kill those embryos that disobey!"

The Red Horse Rider's voice was like a knife cutting through the void, piercing the delicate silence.

Xia Xiu stared at them quietly, his gaze not wavering at all.

"Plunder, kill, raid..." He silently repeated the words of the Red Horse Rider.

"War...is always so inevitable."

After talking about the embryo, the bloody sky began to collapse.

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse begin to leave.

*
*
Under the blue sky, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse held high the Seals in their hands. Their figures looked particularly majestic under the blood-red sky, like messengers about to announce the fate of the world.

At that moment, all sounds seemed to be suppressed by the impending revelation, and even the wind stopped breathing.

"When you are worthy to open the scroll and loose its seals—"

The voices of the four knights resounded like thunder between heaven and earth, shaking the souls of all beings. Their voices contained endless majesty and prophetic power.

“When you open the seventh seal, there will be silence in heaven for about half an hour—the war of Revelation will break out, and we will arrive as promised!”

Their voices are like echoes from ancient times, penetrating history and spanning every moment of the future, carrying an irreversible power.

“Only the one who possesses holiness, perfection, authority, riches, wisdom, power, honor, glory, and praise is worthy to open the seven seals.”

They continued, with an undeniable divine authority in their voices.

“When the apocalyptic war breaks out, the perfect righteous man will open the heavens.

There will be a white horse in the sky, and the one sitting on it will be called Faithful and True. He will judge and make war in righteousness.

A faint echo sounded in the sky, and countless ancient echoes came from the end of the sky.

"His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows except himself—for that is the true name."

The figures of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse stand between heaven and earth like sculptures, with an imposing aura and their words are filled with prophecies of the end of the world.

When Xia Xiu heard this prophecy, he couldn't help but tighten the silver lever in his hand.

"That name is the real name..." He repeated it in his mind.

“Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa~”

In the sky, the knights gently pulled the reins, the horses neighed lowly, raised their front hooves, and slowly moved away.

The white horse flew into the air, the burning breath of the red horse spread like blood, the shadow of the black horse seemed to cover everything, and the steps of the gray horse carried the breath of decay and death, like a messenger from hell, trampling on endless dry bones and dead souls.

However, as all this gradually faded away, the [Seal] in the Black Horse Knight's hand suddenly flashed, and at this moment it produced some kind of indescribable resonance with Xia Xiu.

The black [Seal] spun gently in the air, carrying the unsettling aura of the Black Horse Knight, flew towards Xia Xiu, and finally landed steadily in his palm.

At that moment, Xia Xiu could feel a power from the endless abyss surging out from the [Seal], as if it was going to pull his soul into some unknowable abyss.

He knew that this was the prop to guide him to the embryo.

The figures of the knights gradually disappeared under the blood-red sky. Their backs were filled with endless solemnity and mystery, as if they had never existed. However, the revelation and the [Seal] remained in the hands of the fourth sword-bearer of the Kingdom of Heaven.

The silhouettes of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse riding away on their horses gradually faded into the bloody sky, and the sky began to collapse as they left.

At first, the crack in the sky was as thin as a hair, just a slight flaw in the sky.

But as time passed, the cracks spread like a spider web, accompanied by dull cracking sounds, and the entire sky seemed to be torn apart by some huge force.

A roll of ancient parchment suddenly appeared between the cracks. Ancient runes and marks were engraved on the surface of the parchment, and the surface was covered with traces of time.

It was shaking violently, and with every tremor, the entire sky seemed to shatter a corner like glass, making a harsh sound.

"Click——"

A heavy crack ran through the sky, as if announcing the end of this world.

The parchment finally fell from the crack, dragging along the endless air currents, slowly drifting towards Xia Xiu, as if the hand of fate was invisibly guiding it to his palm.

【Six Commanders Detected!!!】

[The Fourth Archon System: Elios——]

[Start connecting——]

[Inner Hall: No response——]

[Sea of ​​Completion: No Response——]

[Throne of the Wizard King: No response——]

【System *&% error...】

[Mark of Ion detected! ]

[Start temporary connection to personal end pedigree——]

The parchment burned in Xia Xiu's hands.

At the same time, the entire blood-red sky could no longer withstand such tremendous pressure, and the sky finally reached the limit of collapse.

The huge blood-red sky was like a torn curtain, breaking and falling in all directions, turning into countless fragments flying in the air.

Those broken fragments carried with them their former majesty and power. As they fell, the entire world began to fall into endless collapse.

At this moment, a dazzling rainbow light burst out from the depths of the collapsing sky, illuminating the originally dark void.

*
*
The light was so strong that it hurt Xia Xiu's eyes. He squinted subconsciously, and the "Seal" in his palm trembled slightly.

When he opened his eyes again, the scene before him was completely different.

That bloody world no longer exists, replaced by a realistic scene.

He stood on the huge palm of the Holy Machine of Gospel, and the machine was suspended above the sea, like an isolated island in this chaotic ocean.

There is an endless ocean under your feet, but this ocean is not calm.

Billowing flames were burning fiercely on the sea, and the raging flames seemed to be about to devour the entire ocean.

The flames illuminated Xia Xiu's face, the interweaving of light and shadow highlighting his stern expression.

"Hohohoho————"

Not far away, a headless monster was struggling frantically in the ocean. It was crazy and its body was huge and twisted. It was controlled by some indescribable force and let out a shrill roar.

The monster's body seemed to be made up of countless deformed organs and limbs. Although it had lost its head, it still rolled madly in the flames and the ocean, and its twisted body caused violent fluctuations on the sea surface.

That is... the deformed corpse of Bodfell II.

Xia Xiu looked at the deformed corpse, then unfolded the [Out of Control World], created several "mistakes", and temporarily imprisoned the other party.

Then, he raised his head unconsciously, looking across the burning ocean to the sky.

In the sky, the stars are as numerous as buckets, and the stars are twinkling in the void, witnessing everything that is happening.

However, there are two bright moons hanging quietly in the sky between the stars.

One is a bright yellow moon, like the gentlest light source, casting a peaceful glow; the other is a burning blood moon, with scarlet flames spreading across the surface of the moon.

*
*
In the distant sky, the burning blood moon looked like a torch that was about to go out. Bursts of fire continued to appear on the surface of the moon, and the scarlet flames spread across the surface of the moon like huge waves of flames.

Every flicker in the sky is a sign of the flames of war burning in the vast universe.

This battle is far beyond what the naked eye can capture.

In the deep space that ordinary people cannot perceive, a huge mechanical fleet surrounds the blood moon like a tide. Huge ships are suspended in the void, like countless metal behemoths.

The fleet formed a perfect battle formation. The roar of the plasma cannons echoed in the silent starry sky. It was an energy pulse that penetrated the space. The hot beams were like burning lightning, tearing through the starry sky and accurately bombarding the surface of the blood moon.

Lava bombs followed one after another, passing through the void like meteors, and red magma gushed out from the cracks, forming destructive rivers of fire.

At the same time, energy beams burst out from the muzzles of the fleet like countless swords of light, across the entire starry sky, and hit the blood moon hard, making a deafening roar.

The surface of the huge blood moon was riddled with holes, and some areas had collapsed, exposing the boiling crust and magma, while the mantle inside was on the verge of collapse due to this ruthless attack.

However, even so, the surface of the blood moon began to revive like flesh and blood.

This kind of scene has been repeated thousands of times, but this time is different.

At this moment, the huge deep space fleet finally completed the analysis of this young "Star God", and the deadly compilation [sequencing] weapon was also completed at this moment.

boom--------

A dazzling beam of light suddenly pierced through the void and shot straight towards the core of the blood moon.

The beam of light, carrying earth-shattering energy, penetrated the surface of the blood moon and hit its core.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The moment the beam of light touched the core of the blood moon, the heaven and earth shook, the entire planet trembled violently in an instant, and a desperate wail echoed throughout the universe.

The core of the blood moon exploded instantly under the impact of the [Ordering Beam], flames gushed out from the cracks, and the entire crust and mantle of the moon collapsed completely.

The scarlet star seemed to be torn apart by a huge force, and its physical structure disintegrated in an instant.

Then, the entire blood moon began to collapse. The explosion inside triggered a series of chain reactions. The surface began to twist, and the matter of the celestial body was ruthlessly torn apart, like a burnt out star, falling into the depths of the universe.

The planet shattered into countless pieces, accompanied by dust and flames, and dissipated into the vast universe.

When the last ray of light of the blood moon completely disappeared into the void, the entire sky fell into suffocating silence.

In the real world, countless beings watching this scene from afar almost unanimously breathed a sigh of relief.

Among them were warriors, wise men, power manipulators, and some strong men who had fought against the power of Chaos. No matter whether they were opponents in the battle or bystanders watching coldly, they all felt a sense of relief at this moment.

The shadow that had been weighing on people's hearts finally dissipated, and a sense of relief almost like liberation spread throughout the hearts of all living beings who witnessed this great change in the sky.

On the sea, Xia Xiu, standing on the palm of the Holy Machine of Gospel, stared at the collapsing blood moon.

His mood was not as relaxed as that of other creatures.

“These two things still need to be dealt with.”

Xia Xiu lowered his head to look at the [Seal] in his hand, then looked up at the deformed corpse of Bodefei II.

At this moment, a familiar reminder sounded in my ears, accompanied by the voice of the think tank [Adam]:
[Ding--]
[Contact with the Fourth Sword Bearer of Heaven——]
Information comes one after another.

[You have thirty-six contact instructions from the New Alliance!]
[You have 3,600 unprocessed messages from the Administration!]
[You have forty-six feedback reports from the Alchemy Engineering Department!]
[………]
[A special email has been received in my personal mailbox! ]
Xia Xiu glanced at the message skillfully, then sighed and gave an order to Adam:
"Contact the burial authority and report the current location. Ask them to send a burial team to deal with the situation here."

"Give me a list of the unprocessed messages from the Administration. For the feedback reports from the Alchemy Engineering Department, directly connect them to the record table of the Holy Gospel Machine. I have authorized you."

He began to handle various affairs in an orderly manner. Even though he was dragging a body with a broken heart and collapsed internal organs, he did not neglect his work.

……
