Cataclysm King

Chapter 426 The future has never happened, but it has already happened
“It’s really wonderful.”

Ji Xun stood there, glimpsing the plot set by the big hand three thousand years ago. The shock in his heart surged like a tide and lasted for a long time.

No wonder
He had been curious before, why the overall strength of the Southern Continent was so much stronger than that of the Eastern Wasteland, and why there were also Void Dragon Boats, a carrier that could cross the rift. But they discovered the Old Continent at almost the same time as the Eastern Wasteland.

Why hasn’t it been discovered in these three thousand years?

Later, after asking around, Ji Xun finally found out that the truth was even more confusing than it seemed.

Rather than saying that it was the people of East Wilderness and South Continent who discovered the Old Continent, it would be better to say that the Old Continent reappeared before the two flames.

These three thousand years are like the "isolation period" of the Old World.

It is hidden in some inaccessible area, undiscovered by the world.

Although Ji Xun didn't understand what was going on.

It is probably speculated that it is related to the remaining believers of the Outer Gods.

But just from this point, he had a guess that some great figures three thousand years ago had foreseen this time point.

Maybe it has some special meaning.

And now, Ji Xun has obtained these two [Space Stones], and he is sure that the current situation is the plan of Nan Shenyu, the last high priest of Taren three thousand years ago.

Or maybe there is the mysterious organization called the Priory of the Illuminati.

Nan Jing and Chu Jiu, who were standing by, got the information about the soul search, although they also felt that something was a little strange.

But they didn't think it through.

Seeing Ji Xun's expression of sudden enlightenment, Nan Jing also asked curiously: "What's wrong?"

Ji Xun exhaled deeply, and with irrepressible admiration, he sighed, "Xiao Nan, your Nan family's ancestors really laid out a very brilliant plan."

Nan Jing seemed to understand, and blinked his big eyes: "Ah?"

This was just what Ji Xun could see. This situation had ramifications for thousands of years, and he didn't know where to start explaining it.

After thinking about it, he said, "These two are intertwined [Space Stones]. They are the most important thing to build a super long-distance teleportation array. But as you said just now, these 'defectors' brought the stones out to build a teleportation array to let the people in the imperial capital escape. It was just an illusion. The real purpose is to leave it to us three thousand years later."

"For us?"

After hearing this, Chujiu and Nanjing both frowned, obviously not understanding.

"Ah."

Ji Xun nodded, his eyes gradually becoming profound.

He looked at the corpse on the ground, pondered for a moment, and then said: "If I am not mistaken, this stone was left to us by the Southern Priest to connect the East Wasteland and the Old Continent."

When Chujiu and Nanjing heard this, they could not hide their shock.

They also felt the tremendous shock of the gift from three thousand years ago!

No wonder the Light Chaser Faro expressed his feelings when he knew that he came from three thousand years later: the methods of the High Southern Priest were more sophisticated than expected.

Farlow did not make it clear at the time.

But it is obvious that it was because of seeing the "results of history" that Nan Shenyu's far-reaching layout was confirmed.

You must know that Nan Jia is not only the high priest of the Taren Empire, but also a wise man, a prophet and a seer.

The last high priestess of Taron, Nan Shenyu, was extremely powerful. Many historical documents mentioned that her spells were "the best in the world." She must have also seen the end of Taron's destruction.

Ji Xun felt that if he were in that position, he would make the same choice.

Since it is impossible to reverse this devastating outcome, it is better to quietly plant a few seeds of hope for the future on the burnt ruins.

Among them is this [Space Stone].

Before this, Ji Xun had never seen or even heard of this kind of space treasure.

But there are only two pieces in the entire Tarun Empire, which shows how precious they are.

Originally, this was an energy consumable used on the artifact [Wheel of Space].

Once used, it can stabilize the space near the imperial city for a period of time and delay the time of breaking the city.

However, it did not change the outcome of the empire's collapse.

And once it is consumed, the stone is gone.

But if they are not used, they can be preserved whether they are left in ruins or in another dimension.

This means that later generations can find these two treasures in the Old World.

As for why the High Priest Nan Shenyu was so sure that this thing would fall into the East Wilderness rather than into the hands of the Southern Continent, Ji Xun didn't know.

However, he could think of that there was a high probability that some kind of "cause and effect" was involved.

For example: Only people from the Nan family can get it.

In the ruins of reality, there might be some bloodline restrictions;

And in the different dimension, it was just like the commander who recognized the methods of Nan Jing and Chu Jiu and decided to die.

When Ji Xun saw the real stone, he realized that they could not kill this NPC from the very beginning.

Just like the [Space Rune Stone] in his hand, this is an auxiliary extraordinary item that can greatly enhance a person's spatial ability.

This means that for Commander Rodon, who has now turned into a corpse, it would be easy for him to escape using the stone.

Not to mention Ji Xun and his two companions, even someone at the eighth level, or even stronger, might not be able to stop them.

However, just now he was easily punched through the chest.

The only explanation is that Commander Roton let it go.

Or maybe certain beliefs were imprinted in his cognition, such as he would not resist if he encountered the bloodline of the Nan family.

In other words, Nan Shenyu even considered the possibility of an alternate dimension.

The formation of different-dimensional space follows a certain pattern. Major events such as the collapse of the imperial city will inevitably be condensed into different-dimensional space by the will of the plane, so that later adventurers can learn about the history of that period and find those treasures.

The difficulty of this "Thousands of Troops Besieging the City" space has reached its peak.

You can’t pass the level just by having a high rank.

Therefore, except Ji Xun and the other two, or to be more precise, the bloodline of the Nan family, no one else who comes to the different dimension will be able to get these two rough stones from the "defectors".

Just this point alone made Ji Xun full of admiration after he figured it out.

These two pieces of raw stones can construct a teleportation channel and are also the "hope" of the Eastern Wasteland Card Master civilization.

This strategy is very, very clever.

Unless it is stopped at the source, by the time it is discovered, it will have already become an "inevitable trend".

Nan Shenyu's methods are evident.

Maybe it wasn't when the imperial capital Behemoth collapsed, but she made some arrangements after she discovered earlier that the empire was bound to collapse.

Then, as time goes by, modify your plan little by little.

By the time the empire collapses, the "torch" has already been laid.

By that time, even the outer gods will not be able to interfere with the result.

This method seems completely incredible to others.

Even if Ji Xun used "I am the world" to deduce it, it was still difficult to understand.

After all, there are too many variables in the development of history. Who can guarantee what the world will be like three thousand years from now?

How could someone like Nan Shenyu not know?
Do not!
Must know.

At least some general trends can be deduced.

Certain events that seem to happen by chance in history are actually inevitable in the eyes of a card master at her level.

The Talun Empire collapsed, and the "flame" went to the East Wilderness. This was all arranged by her.

Although the Eastern Wilderness is barren, it is safe enough.

This can also ensure the continuation of the royal bloodline of Augustus.

The flame that goes to the Eastern Wasteland is destined to establish a new kingdom of card masters.

However, due to the scarcity of resources, this Kashi civilization is destined to decline.

And history has proven that there is no empire that will never fall.

The corruption and collapse brought about by years of autocratic rule are inevitable.

At any time, a dictatorial regime is destined to go through the process of "nation-building-expansion-collapse".

To others, this process represents a completely uncertain future.

But for some Southern priests who are familiar with history and all the conditions of "Xinhuo", it is not completely unforeseeable.

Therefore, the collapse of the Oran royal court is also a historical inevitability.

Later, the people of East Desert rediscovered the old continent, and then discovered the truth about the broken civilization, and continued with the glorious Taren civilization of three thousand years ago.

In Ji Xun's eyes, that line of destiny has continued from three thousand years ago to the present, and has never been wrong.

History may seem to be full of ups and downs, but like a river, its direction is already determined.

There is another factor that cannot be ignored—the Illuminati Hermitage!

This mysterious organization, "Thirteen Kamen Riders", which has been passed down since the founding of the Talen Dynasty, walks in the darkness of history and is unknown to ordinary people.

But now in Ji Xun's eyes, the role they play is like the "correctors" of history.

There will always be appropriate times when we intervene in the course of history.

Just like the battle that destroyed Oran more than two hundred years ago, the thirteen knights of the Illuminati Hermitage personally participated in it, and most of them died in it.

The old dynasty finally came to an end.

Not only that.

During the previous conversation between Ji Xun and Jia Yu, he also learned that this organization had actually left traces everywhere in Oran’s two thousand years of history.

There are some "ancient prophecies" and other inheritances within the Illuminati. Before the Old World appeared, although Jia Yu and the successive Light Chasers could not see the full picture of this exquisite layout, they could deduce some from the traces of history.

Moreover, each generation of "Light Chasers" has some missions and awakenings that must be accomplished.

This has been passed down from generation to generation, and some of the deviated historical processes have been corrected.

Ji Xun didn’t understand the relationship between the “Illuminati Hermitage” and “Augustus” before.

Sometimes they are hostile, sometimes they cooperate as if nothing happens, and sometimes they seem to have a close relationship.

Until now, he had figured it out a little.

One is the "face" and the other is the "inside", both of which are important inheritance lines of the Kashi civilization.

"Although the East Wasteland is barren, it is safe enough. The 'bloodline initiation' inheritance of your high priest lineage is very special, which ensures that each generation of high priests is very powerful. This also means that your lineage will definitely be passed down, so the course of history is roughly controllable."

"There is also the lineage of the Illuminati."

"."

Ji Xun told him everything he had deduced at that moment.

This statement sorted out the countless scattered thoughts in his mind.

The course of history that can be deduced seems to have countless possibilities.

But in reality, there is only one and only historical truth.

After listening to Ji Xun's words, the two women realized why they were able to kill the seventh-level commander so easily just now.

One of them is a descendant of the high priest, and the other is from the royal family of Augustus.

Not just a listener, but also a participant in this history.

Ji Xun figured everything out, and gradually entered a very mysterious state.

At this moment, he seemed to be traveling through three thousand years of time, overlooking the bumpy development of the Kashi civilization.

Suddenly, an idea seemed to flash in my mind.

Ji Xun suddenly understood what Jia Yu once said about the mystery of "I am the world": history is being played out just like it is now; and the future will be like the past, right there, it has not happened, but it has already happened.

At this moment, I feel the same way.

History is like a grand stage play.

From the very beginning, the script was written by the screenwriter behind the scenes.

It seems that the actors on the stage are performing an unknown plot at every moment, but in fact, they have already been destined to be on a fixed fate line, from the beginning to the end.

Only those who understand this kind of situation can participate. For those who don't understand, it's useless to explain it to them.

The chess player uses the world as the chessboard. Those who cannot see the chessboard can only be chess pieces.

The moment the thought came to him, Ji Xun felt as if all his pores were unblocked and his soul seemed to be sublimated.

He is still a moving chess piece, but he can already see some of the context on the chessboard.

This transformation gives people the ultimate pleasure of having their life level elevated.

Inspiration also appears at the same time:
"You have gained enlightenment. Your skill proficiency of 'I am the World' has increased to +8888. You have gained 'Domain'."

"You have touched upon a glimpse of the extraordinary mysteries of the laws governing the operation of the universe. Your understanding of 'divine power' has increased to +234."

An unknown amount of time had passed before Ji Xun came to his senses and saw Chujiu and Nan Jing meditating on the side.

Ji Xun himself also felt as if his soul was gradually falling from the clouds, and his perceptions gradually became clearer.

He muttered to himself: "So this is 'God's Might'?"

Before, I had only witnessed other people’s divine power, but now that I had touched it myself, I knew what it felt like.

His eyes were full of indifference, as if he had no emotional fluctuations.

This is an improvement in our understanding of the world and an elevation of our life level.

Like shedding skin, he saw his old shell.

At this moment, Ji Xun vaguely felt the world in the eyes of gods.

It was as if life was suddenly divided into levels.

In the eyes of higher-dimensional life forms, lower-level creatures are not truly alive, but rather inferior creatures whose actions are driven by desire.

The feeling was not clear enough, Ji Xun had only touched the threshold of divine power.

But the more tangible gain is that I have entered the threshold of "domain" through my understanding of the magical secret law that is the world.

This means that as long as he keeps going deeper, he will most likely be able to comprehend Jia Yu’s “domain·I am the world”.

But this is not what Ji Xun wants.

"Field" is like a designer using what he has learned to design a house.

The houses built by others are all fixed-structure buildings.

Ji Xun's house is like a "transforming Rubik's Cube".

It can change into any shape when needed.

"I am the world" is the best framework for the "universal realm" he envisioned.

Now that the frame is basically formed, you need to gradually add some bricks and tiles.

Ji Xun let out a breath.

It has never felt better.

Sure enough, opportunities always come in risks.

I looked at the time on my pocket watch and realized two hours had passed.

Because of the seventh-level commander's leniency, this A-level plot mission was completed very smoothly. In addition, the noise of the fight was minimal, which gave the three of them a chance to relax for a while.

Ji Xun woke up from his epiphany, and Chujiu and Nan Jing looked over at the same time.

The three of them had their own insights.

Miss Ball Head asked: "Ji Xun, what should we do now?"

I have just completed the A-level mission, and my military merit has reached the requirement and can be settled at any time.

However, when they suddenly learned the truth of that year, this different dimension became a little special to the three of them.

Ji Xun had no intention of leaving just like that.

What's more, he also has a "jar" mission.

Thinking of this, he said, "The original plan was that we would find an opportunity to go to the Imperial City."

Ji Xun was also very curious about what special plot would be triggered by meeting the High Priest Nan Shenyu.

And there's one more thing.

Ji Xun has almost figured out the general historical context from the collapse of Taron to the present, but he still can't figure out what role Old Man Xu played in history.

Nan Jing asked: "Then what should we do?"

Ji Xun suddenly understood the plan that Faro had not stated clearly, and instantly changed some of his previous ideas. He said, "Let's go find those angel fragments!"

The Lightseeker Faro is in the Orc camp, and this is something that can be further investigated.

Judging from the time, the fragments should have been gathered together.

As soon as the words came out, Nan Jing's eyes lit up: "Okay!"

Chujiu on the side also nodded.

Without saying anything, the three men untied the barrier and rushed towards the direction of the orc officers who had been marked earlier to collect the fragments.

Collecting the fragments will inevitably lead to fighting, which is currently the most reasonable means to attract the attention of the Outer God "Beast Blood Boiling Mutu".

If the Light Chaser Faro wants to seal Him, he must first attract this person to appear.

Ji Xun felt that he was very lucky to witness the battle between the true gods.
