It was a snowy night.The ancient and fortified fortress of Frost Snow City stood in the wind and snow as if it had been thousands of years, standing like a proud guard on the first guard in front of the Gorgon Abyss, like layers of petal-like walls facing the cold wind, blocking the blizzard from the plains, and the howling of the cold wind when it swept over the plains could still enter the fortress city through the gaps between the walls.The voice twisted through the walls and magical barriers, forming a low whimper that echoed through the outermost streets of the fortress city like the cry of the earth.It would be difficult for outsiders to sleep peacefully on such nights, and even the sturdy northerners would inevitably be a little upset and irritated by the cries circling outside the city.Traditions in the North made them regard the ominous sound hovering over the snowfields as a bad omen, so the taverns on the outermost streets of the fortress city lit up one by one, and the spirits were brought to the table in barrels and turned into courage and heat into the veins.The people who remained in Frost and Snow were chatting and laughing in the tavern, using their voices to dispel ominous voices from the plains, talking about the battles on the front lines, about the Black Sword Knights who had lost their minds, about the Gorgon Abyss that had entered a state of relative calm - and about the "legaries" who had entered the city during the day.No matter what you talk about, it's all about getting the atmosphere hot and that is the only way to withstand the blizzard that is sweeping across the snowfield.But almost all of the noise was at the foot of the hill, and the farther you went to the upper part of the city, the more sparse the voices became, and in the area where the lord's castle was located, you could almost only hear the howling of the wind and snow.The cold wind carried the snow chips through the courtyard of the post house, ripped the flags in the courtyard and rattled, and in the dim light, you could occasionally see a figure flashing near the gate of the post house, it was the legionnaires who were going to check the city defenses in the wind and snow, and the outside world was gradually frozen - which made the warm room especially seem like a paradise of seclusion.Lily leaned on the window and watched the wind and snow for a long time, and finally reluctantly withdrew her gaze: "Woo......
With such a big snowstorm, even I don't think I want to go out......"
Vivian, who was adding firewood to the fireplace, glanced at her when she heard this: "You have been struggling with this kind of ghost weather for a long time whether to go out for a walk, are you sick?"
”"Don't be embarrassed for her, the king of the transportation industry in the Arctic Circle, has been forced to watch the snow outside in the house, and she hasn't demolished the house yet, which is already a miracle of education, okay," Hao Ren waved his hand and turned to Leah, "How about it, do you have any clues about the 'source' of the Tumen Empire and the collapse of the world?"
”After finishing his exploration of the Gorgon's Abyss, he summoned Lily, Vivien, and Leah to the room to discuss the clues found by the three probes, and the most promising reference information was naturally the Goddess of Creation herself, who had been sleeping in the dark realm for 10,000 years.It's a pity that, just like the terms Black Pine Forest, Khersonga, Gorgon, Tiamat, etc., Leah also knows nothing about the so-called Tumen Empire."
I've never heard of the former, and the latter doesn't understand it," Leah shook her head and sat on the high-backed chair and shook her calves back and forth, not in a good mood, but a sign of slight irritability, "but although I don't understand, I have made some bad discoveries about the changes in this world." ”"Bad findings?"
Hao Ren frowned, and felt a hint of something bad from Leah's simple words, "What's the matter?"
”Leah tilted her face: "You still remember the connection between the Gorgon Abyss and the Black Pine Forest, right?"
”Hao Ren nodded: "Of course remember, it was because of this incident that we took a shortcut and rushed directly from the black pine forest to the north." ”"Then you should also remember what I said at the time, which probably means that the black pine forest and the Gorgon Abyss are essentially the same, they are both 'fragments of the deep world', and they are now interconnected in the real world because they are 'rising'," Leah stopped staggering and her expression became serious, "I confirmed two things just now. ”Hao Ren and Vivien glanced at each other and said in unison: "What two things?"
”"First, the 'ascent' is true, I have always left a little mental energy on the connection point between the Gorgon Abyss and the Black Pine Forest, and now I can confirm that the connection points are becoming more and more stable, and new connection points are being established, which means that those 'world line wreckage' in the deep part of this world is indeed rising and has begun to affect the structure of the real world," Leah said slowly, "Second......
I noticed that as those things went up, the stability of the whole of Rahrien was decreasing, and the speed and intensity of the descent far exceeded the speed of the debris of the world line. ”Hao Ren's brows furrowed slightly, and he pinched his chin with his hand: "Translated into.
What does human words mean?
”Leah glared at him, but still explained: "Rahrion is wrapped in my divine power barrier, so it can be regarded as a closed 'small world', and the information cycle of this small world is like a mini-universe showing a self-consistent and stable state, but since there is stability, there will naturally be times of instability - at this moment, the stability of Rahrion as an information structure is declining - converted to the normal world, that is, the entropy value is skyrocketing, and the universe is collapsing!"
And its stability is declining much faster than the speed at which the wreckage of the worldline is rising, which means that something else is speeding up the process of plunging the whole world into chaos!
”Hao Ren listened in a daze, and finally realized the seriousness of the situation: "You mean......
Rahrion is gradually crumbling down?!
”Leah nodded silently.For some reason, Hao Ren suddenly thought of this inexplicable civil war going on in the Dragongon Empire.Originally, he thought that this was just a regular conflict within the indigenous civilization, but one clue after another gradually came to his mind, and he vaguely felt that he had caught something—the unknown energy reaction of the center of the earth, the mysterious signal connection between the center of the earth and the imperial capital of Dragon, the secret of the knight of the broken sword in the black pine forest, the connection between the black pine forest and the Gorgon Abyss, and the connection between Princess Constance and the Gorgon Abyss......
He listed all the things that had happened so far, and the connection between them, whether explicit or implicit, became even more obvious: the Black Sword Knights bound to the Dragon Soul Emperor collectively showed the "symptoms" of being polluted and corrupted, and at the same time, the Princess Constance suddenly raised the banner to start a war against the Black Sword Knights as if she had been preparing for a long time, while the six northern provinces responded instantly, and the Gorgon Abyss also weakened the intensity of activity at the same time - and at the same time as this series of events occurred, the deeper parts of this world were also changing simultaneously.The "crumbling fragments of the worldline" began to rise from the bottom of the world, and the stability of the entire Rahrion rapidly declined.Obviously, everything can be said to be an "emergency", but everything adds up to the feeling that it has been rehearsed countless times.Lily couldn't help but get serious at this time, she took her eyes away from the wind and snow outside the window, turned her head and asked, "Could it be related to the residual influence of the Lord of Madness?"
”"I still don't feel the power fluctuations of the Lord of the Madness," Leah pinched her fingers in her brow, her tone depressed, "The world feels bad to me - it's like a machine that is running according to a set program, and everyone is running in this machine as if they were destined to do so. ”"If Rahrion's stability continues to decline, how long will it survive in the real world?"
Hao Ren asked the most critical question."
Two years, two years at most," Leah said with certainty, "and in the process, the 'wreckage of the worldline' like the Black Pine Forest and the Gorgon Abyss will rise completely to the surface, and more than half of the planet will be replaced, and more than seventy percent of the population will be swallowed; The island of safety will also lose order, the rules of physics will become chaotic, the material world will fall apart, and finally, the whole world will decompose into basic information elements, and nothing will be born or die, and that will be the last day of the world. ”Hao Ren opened his mouth and stretched out his finger to tap on the shell of the data terminal: "This ......
Is it beyond my scope of work?
”"Damn, since the day you signed the contract, how many things have you done that are not out of line?"
The data terminal jumped on Hao Ren's shoulder, "But it's okay, now we are in the dream plane and we have a big business, a fleet of immigrants can still be put together, if this ball really can't be saved, at least it's no problem to pick people up, and then Leah can play a little, and it should be able to pack half of the ecosystem......"
Hao Ren breathed a sigh of relief: "That's okay, there shouldn't be any need to write and check."
But those are the next choices, and we can't just sit back and wait for this weird 'end of the world' to go on like this."
How can a good world be said to collapse?
And it's still protected by Leah's divine powers, so how can it still be inexplicably finished in this situation?
”No one could answer his question, and even Leah could only smile wryly and shake her head, while Lily once again cast her eyes on the blizzard outside the window."
It's snowing so hard......" muttered the husky girl, "I always feel like something is going to happen tonight......
Vivien glanced at her, "Don't talk nonsense, the dog spits ...... out of his mouth" Before she could finish speaking, a sudden palpitation suddenly caused everyone in the room to get up from their chairs.Leah jumped directly to the ground, her face became extremely gloomy, and in a flash she came to the window, and then pushed the window open.The wind and snow outside the window suddenly roared towards the breach, but before it could touch Leah's body, all the wind and snow suddenly stopped, and then retreated to the sides with fear.Leah looked in the direction of due south.The sky in that direction was extremely dark—even though it was indeed night, it was still darker than expected, as if an incomparably large dark vortex was hanging upside down, absorbing all the light between heaven and earth."
Lord of the Madness......"
Leah said through gritted teeth.
