Extraordinary Pedigree.

Chapter 778 [Secret Chamber and Screaming Demon]

Seth's words echoed in the silent space.

The expression of the fourth sword-wielder in Heaven remained calm, but his golden eyes revealed a deep luster.

He was pondering Set's words full of riddles.

He had gotten used to the people of this land not speaking human language in order to avoid interactions between information authorities.

Therefore, Xia Xiu's mind was stripping away the unnecessary symbols and metaphors in Set's words, pointing directly to the core message hidden behind the words.

What is certain is that the "brave new world" that Set talks about is the same as the new world that the Cogwheel Orthodox Church pursues. They both have one characteristic.

——Describes a global anomalous event affecting all of Terra.

According to the Ancient Ones, when the Event occurs, flowers will suddenly bloom across the globe, covering most of the landmass.

The climate has become unusually pleasant, air pollution has disappeared, and the environment has become more beautiful and harmonious than ever before.

People inexplicably realized that this event foreshadowed the inevitable end of the world, violence decreased significantly, and society became more peaceful.

The event occurred within 24 hours before the extinction of global life, similar to Terra's "last gasp".

This is undoubtedly a Memetic apocalypse event - all living things on Terra will be "euthanized".

But who has such great power?
The Supreme Divine Entity?
Unknown Mimosaur?
Stars?

Xia Xiu tilted his head slightly and his eyes fell on the white pigeons that were still pecking at food on the ground. The pigeons seemed to be completely unaware of the tense atmosphere around them and were incredibly quiet.

Saint George, who was standing next to Xia Xiu, responded directly to Seth's riddle-man behavior:
"Alarmist."

The Tenth Hero certainly paid attention to the information given by the Ancient Ones, and he was also very alert to the [Crisis Sequence] that might involve the destruction of the world.

However, this does not mean that he is afraid of these end times.

The Kingdom of Heaven has faced, contained, and destroyed many world-destroying [Crisis Sequences].

So, naturally, he would not be afraid of them.

Seth's smile remained gentle, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if he didn't care about what St. George said.

He responded softly:

"Maybe."

Just three short words, but they seem to contain deep meaning.

St. George frowned slightly and subconsciously clenched his hands, but Xia Xiu raised one hand and signaled him not to move.

He withdrew his gaze from Seth and returned it to the flock of pigeons. His tone was calm but with a hint of inquiry.

“Where do these pigeons come from?”

Seth did not answer immediately, but raised his head and slowly pointed his index finger at the sky above his head.

"One of the twin portals in the sky... it seems to be called the Heaven's Gate by the inhabitants of Terra now."

【Gate of Heaven】.

It is one of the twin gates standing above the sky of Terra. Since its appearance, its existence has been like an untouchable mystery, lying between Terra's [Crystal Sky] and reality.

Even the high-ranking officials in Heaven were very secretive about the abnormality of the Twin Doors, and were always vague in their explanations when they did mention it.

And now, a casual remark from the ancient Seth seemed to link these "doves of peace" with the aura of weapon-nullifying power with the mysterious portal.

"Heaven's Gate..."

Xia Xiu repeated in a low voice, his brows slightly furrowed, with a rare solemnity in his tone.

Various information about the Twin Gates flashed rapidly through his mind, including the possibility that some of the "miracles" inside the Kingdom of Heaven might be related to it.

This is the foundation of the kingdom of heaven mentioned by Mu - the [Spiral Road].

[Spiral Road] connects the twin doors and leads to them - heaven and hell.

Mu once said that the spiral road is a paintbrush.

The Twin Doors are a scrap, a reflection of the world.

Xia Xiu has always guessed that the world he lives in is one of the "reflections".

The puzzles are piling up, and so are the crises.

He couldn't help but ask:

"How much do you know about the Twin Doors?"

Seth's expression was solemn, and there was a rare hint of fear in his eyes, as if he was recalling some unfathomable secret.

He spoke slowly:
“I don’t know what’s behind the door, but it gives me a feeling that it’s related to my mission in Odepapadopoulos.

What's behind the door is very similar to the secret room I'm supposed to guard."

"Secret room?" Xia Xiu frowned slightly, and a deep light flashed in his golden eyes.

Seth nodded and continued:

“That is a blocked passage between the Odepapadopoulos Palace and the Palace of the Morning Sun.

Like any other channel - it connects 'here' with 'there'.

Unlike other passages, it is old and the steps are stable.

The light of the world has long since left this place, and mortals are not allowed to walk here. "

His tone gradually became lower, as if he was dragged into some disturbing abyss by his memories:

“How can I describe what is behind the secret room… ‘the form of no form’.

It is a twisted, inverted spiral that forces life to succumb to order.

It is a phenomenon, a shadow cast against the light, a control that prevents everything from transcending its sum.

It is a set of laws that spread upward, gradually eating away at everything above it. It wants everything to perish, and every action requires a sacrifice.”

His tone sounded like a low hum crawling out from deep underground, and every word seemed to be telling some chilling truth.

"Something like entropy?" Xia Xiu stroked his chin, his eyes filled with deep thought.

Seth shook his head with a complicated look:
“It’s part of it, but not all of it.”

“That’s something bigger.”

Xia Xiu seemed to be thinking about something, and his tone became more cautious:

"Thermodynamics as a whole? The ultimate law of physics?"

Seth paused for a moment, then slowly shook his head: "No, it is something more complicated. Its existence depends on the cognition of intelligent creatures. Human observation and understanding give it the concept of 'existence'. But in fact, it does not exist."

Xia Xiu frowned and repeated Set's words in a low voice: "Depending on the cognition of intelligent creatures..." His voice was full of doubts and thoughts.

Seth was unmoved, his eyes were far away, and his tone was still steady:
"I can explain it this way. There is a kind of 'static void' inside the chamber - an abnormal area beyond common sense. In that area, there is no matter, energy or information.

It does not emit or absorb light, sound, or heat, and has no form or texture. It cannot be traversed or touched, and has no dimension. "Xia Xiu frowned even deeper, with suspicion and vigilance flashing in his eyes.

Seth continued:

“Nevertheless, those who enter the area will claim to see scenes that closely resemble the surrounding environment – ​​flora and fauna, buildings and even the sky.

In fact, those scenes are just the complement effect of the human brain on "nothingness".

This is the cognitive instinct to compensate for the incomprehensible.”

He paused for a moment, his eyes fell on Xia Xiu's face, and his tone became even lower:

"But any object or creature that enters that area will completely disappear without exception. They no longer exist in reality, as if they have been erased from the concept of existence."

Xia Xiu's eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone contained a hint of suppressed surprise:

“Is there really such a thing?”

Seth was silent for a moment, and a complex smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. In that smile, there was both fear of the unknown and a kind of unspeakable relief:

"I also hope it doesn't exist, but the fact is, it is inside the secret room, safe and sound."

He said this with a hint of awe that was hard to conceal in his tone, "That's why I have to stay here and guard it."

At this moment, silence enveloped the space between the two of them. Xia Xiu was lost in thought, and involuntarily reached out and pressed his temple.

He tried to connect Seth's words with the theories and logic he had mastered, but found that it was beyond his cognitive scope.

"If it's true as you said, this static void..."

Xia Xiu's voice was slightly lowered, with a hint of irrepressible suspicion and inquiry.

"Its very existence is a threat to reality."

Seth nodded, but there was no surprise on his face, only calmness:

"Its existence is a warning. An ultimate anomaly that we cannot understand or control."

Xia Xiu looked serious, leaned forward slightly, and asked in a low voice:
"Do you know its origin?"

Set nodded slowly, with a complex look in his eyes. He said softly, "They are the 'ghosts' of the universe."

"Ghost?" Xia Xiu frowned and repeated it.

Seth explained in a slightly heavy tone:
"I call them - 'Pattern Screamers'.

They are concepts or consciousness left over from the 'pre-universe' or 'destroyed multiverse'.

These universes completely disappeared for unknown reasons, and the Pattern Screamers are the only ones left."

He paused for a moment, as if giving Xia Xiu time to digest the information, and then continued:

"Hostile and Screaming."

Seth's voice was low but clear.

"They are deeply hostile to the existing universe and believe that the new universe is a betrayal of their existence.

The screams of the Pattern Screamers - that is a painful, indescribable 'sound' that not only destroys the mind, but can even tear apart the stability of reality, causing the surrounding matter and logic to collapse. "

Xia Xiu frowned even deeper and asked in a deep voice:
"What about their form? Or, do they have a form?"

Seth shook his head, his expression becoming more serious:
“They have no physical form.

The Pattern Screamers themselves are a kind of 'nihilistic existence', and their power comes from the foundation of concepts, consciousness and reality.

They act on the world by distorting these fundamental elements. You can think of them as the embodiment of 'nothingness'; they exist in the void you observe, but their essence is not matter or energy as we understand it."

Xia Xiu's expression gradually became complicated, and he repeated Seth's words in a low voice:

"Existing in the observed void..."

Sett nodded, his tone becoming increasingly low:
"Yes. They are a kind of existence that is completely contrary to the logic of our universe.

They have no form, yet they are everywhere; they have no voice, yet they scream in our consciousness.

Because of this, they are not only difficult to understand, but also almost impossible to confront directly.

Their influence is subtle, eroding the foundations of reality and consuming even those who try to understand them.”

Set's eyes fell on Xia Xiu's face, and he sighed strangely: "This is why their existence is called 'Shriek'. Their screams penetrate all logic and pierce the reason of everyone who tries to spy on them."

Xia Xiu was silent for a moment.

Countless clues seemed to flash through his mind, intertwined and entangled, but there was no clear answer. His fingers gently stroked the [Heaven's Lever] in his hand, feeling the slight vibration in it, as if it was also responding to Seth's words.

Xia Xiu raised his eyes, a trace of inquiry flashing in his golden pupils. His tone was slow, but with a sense of oppression that could not be ignored: "Have you fought with them...?"

Seth paused for a moment and subconsciously touched his neck, as if there had once been some secret trace there.

He then sighed softly, spread his hands, and said slowly:
"A few times. At first, it appeared as a realm of nothingness, an all-consuming nothingness. No form, no sound, not even a sense of existence. But when it intersected with the projection of a higher being, we understood its true nature."

Seth's voice became even deeper, with an indescribable heaviness:

"Anything that enters this bottomless pit will be placed under an extremely sharp 'fractal sieve'.

Its laws are absolute, and anything that cannot be reshaped or adapted to its rules will be torn to pieces without exception.

No exceptions and no mercy."

Xia Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly, his tone calm but with a hint of chill:
"Such strict rules..."

Seth nodded and continued:
“What’s even more terrifying is that this destruction is not limited to those beings who come into contact with it.

It was as if the impossible had happened, and the damage to the projections spread upwards, affecting and tearing apart all the higher beings that relied on those projections for their growth.

The fall of each projection will cause countless beings to fall into the abyss."

His voice was almost oppressively calm, as if he was describing some irreversible disaster:

"Those once invincible superior beings - those conceptual entities that dominated countless dimensions, shattered, collapsed, and fell one after another - they were powerless in the face of the absolute laws imposed by the 'Things'."

"The situation," Xia Xiu repeated in a low voice, frowning deeply.

"Yes, the rules of 'things'."

There was deep fear in Seth's eyes.

“Its rules are so harsh that it seems impossible for any life to survive within them.

It is not simply entropy or nothingness, but something deeper that requires all existence to pay a price for its continued existence.

All actions, all changes, must be accompanied by sacrifice.”

Seth paused for a moment, and his tone suddenly became heavier:

“And the worst part is, it’s growing.

I've been working overtime at the end of the year... I've been going crazy looking at pictures in Word documents. When I'm slacking off and writing, I'm also looking up information in Word and copying and pasting it to the publishing platform. But after pasting a section, the next one will be repeated accidentally. It seems that I still can't slack off and write, although it's exciting, it's easy to make mistakes...
