In the storage space of the cosmic furnace, Merlin is talking to this oversized furnace star.At this time, there were still a few days before the time of ignition he had planned, and he had only come to check the situation first, and it was not so easy to reshape the foundation of reality within the range of stars.Igniting the furnace without saying anything, the energy that swells out of it will only blow like a tidal wave on the beach, wiping out everything that exists.That's not the ending Merlin wants to see.He had to wait until the myriad of signs in the stars were in place, and in a gentler way, fill the stars with burning cosmic force.In this way, without destroying the existing cosmic order, the transformation from the illusory to the real can be realized.This is an extremely large project, and there are countless companions on the earth who are working for the realization of this system.Of course, Merlin didn't come to the space of the cosmic furnace simply to see how powerful this device that could restart the universe was, he came with another purpose."
Oh?
We don't know each other very well, do we?
”The consciousness of the furnace, that is, the creation of the Origin Celestial Venerable and the Emperor of the Universe a long time ago, indirectly derived the mysterious existence of the Cybertron world and the mechanical civilization "TheOne".It said softly to Merlin, "We should have only met for the first time, and you asked me to do you a favor...
Are you earthlings so familiar?
”"Not really."
Merlin sat on a rock on the surface of the cosmic crucible, a huge star, and replied in a calm tone, "Just a request for both of us." ”"Proneficial?"
TheOne snorted, and it replied calmly, "I don't see any advantage, you see, I'm just a crucible to support the universe and restart the stars, and anyone can ignite me if they have the ability." ”"And for me and my duty and mission, it makes no difference to me to be ignited by you, or ignited by an outer god.""
I was born to burn, and as long as there is a flame, I can live forever."
It said, "I pay attention to the little girl Icarus only because she has inherited the will of my creation, and in the ethical system of your human beings, she is my little granddaughter...""
But this kindness is only for her, and that doesn't mean I have any affection for your civilization and the stars now."
There was a loud sound of metal peeling from inside the furnace star, as if a human was breathing.TheOne paused, and said in a low tone, "You live in a false world, it doesn't exist, and I symbolize the reality of the universe, and I am the opposite of you!"
”"I'm on the side of neutrality, and I should have done the same, if you wanted me to do you a favor...""
Then convince me."
The cosmic furnace vibrated and hummed like laughter, and its consciousness became active again, allowing the traces of the appearance of the old, dismantled furnace from other universes to be stripped away.It's like an old-fashioned, oil- and dust-stained instrument vibrating to clean itself.The heavy impurities on the outer shell were shattered and dispersed into this dark space, revealing the true nature of the cosmic furnace, which was metal, some metal like gold leaf.This huge furnace of shapes is made of metal, and the crust on the outer shell is probably just a camouflage."
First of all, I'm not asking you to break neutrality."
Merlin wasn't in a hurry.He didn't care about the indifference of the crucible's consciousness, nor did he care about its questioning, he had his own set of arguments.He said to TheOne, "As you said, the purpose of your existence is to be ignited, and whoever ignites it is the same, I will not stop the ignition and I will not delay it, I just hope that you can be set on fire by a third person other than me and the outer gods." ”"I mean, someone from the illusory world will light the fire, but they won't be able to enter this space without your permission, and this is the only place in this illusory world that borders the real thing."
Merlin's words silenced the cosmic crucible for a moment.It made a rumbling sound, like a thunderous roar, and it said, "Why?
”TheOne's voice was filled with confusion as it asked, "Why this outlandish request?"
”"I've been watching your world, including your previous battle with the Elders of the Universe, you've done so much for your world and for this star, shouldn't you be able to light the fire yourself?""
It's not just an honor, Merlin.
Riley, the one who ignited the cosmic crucible, would have control of the stars on a symbolic level, and you should know that, don't you?
”"You've done so much for it, is it just to make a wedding dress for someone else?"
The question is straightforward, honest, and to the point.Merlin shrugged his shoulders as he said to the Melting Pot of Forms, "It's just symbolic, symbolism without the support of power has no meaning." ”"For me, whoever ignites the fire is the same, as long as this star can be turned into reality, as long as it can stop the destruction of the outer gods, I don't care who will benefit in the end.""
How?
This request doesn't violate your neutrality, does it?
”Merlin said: "The battle is still to be fought, and what will happen to the future of this group of stars still depends on the outcome of our direct confrontation with the outer gods, and all the decisive factors have not changed, but there is a change of executor...""
Well, that's true."
TheOne replied angrily, "If that's all your request is, then I can allow...
Now, dump the firewood!
”It looked a little impatient and a little excited, like a person looking forward to the future, and said, "I haven't burned for a long time, I haven't carried those pure firewood for a long time, I haven't shone for a long time, come, pour the firewood into my body." ”It urged, "Let me relive the passion and flame of yesteryear, and I will...
Rebirth. ”"Wait a minute."
Merlin straightened up, took the Raven's Book from his waist, and his body rose into the air as if it were unaffected by gravity, and circled around the star furnace with great speed, and then followed the large hole in the center of the star and fell into the depths of the furnace.It's like a cold mechanical city.Everywhere there were huge, strangely shaped metal devices, like the creations of giants, frozen in place with a sense of awe-inspiring.Merlin landed on the black-and-gray steel floor, and when he looked up, there was a blower-like thing directly above him.It is the size of a city, and it has delicate blades inside, and on those blades, there is also dust that has been contaminated by long-term burning.Like a computer case fan that hasn't been cleaned for more than a decade, the huge amount of dust is all over the metal blades, and even forms a burr-like shape.Filled with a sense of stale and scruffiness.Looking around, the surrounding metal equipment is like this, as if the old equipment that is running directly from an old factory has been taken out and thrown into this universe casually.The Creators who created the world did not even dust and repolish it once.This made Merlin feel uncomfortable all over, and he felt like he was entering a garbage heap that had been discarded for tens of thousands of years."
Do you want to clean up first?"
Merlin shouted in the heart of the World's Crucible, "You're so dirty!"
Any machine that has been down for a long time has to be cleaned before it is restarted, right?
”"Whatever you want."
TheOne was a little upset.It's natural, and no one likes it when people say it's dirty.Its voice echoed inside the astral machine, and it said angrily, "But don't laugh at me, if you had experienced a cosmic collapse, you wouldn't have been clean...""
Really?"
Merlin waved his hand, and in the midst of the halo of pupils in his eyes, a star-wide ultra-advanced cleansing spell was thrown into the cosmic furnace.Like a wind that swept across the world, it roared and crashed against every piece of machinery at the heart of the furnace, and the dust that covered the machinery was blown off, rolled up, and carried farther away by the wind.It's like a big cleaning, leaving the entire inside of the furnace in a gray patch."
I heard that you were picked up by Gao Tianzun, are you interested in talking about the universe before you?"
Merlin looked at the core of the furnace being cleaned, holding the Book of Ravens in his hand, a dark blue light surging across the tome.With just one thought, the collected and sufficient amount of cosmic force can be injected into the heart of the furnace.And in the face of Merlin's question, TheOne was silent for a long time.It finally spoke, "There's nothing to say, that's what happens often in the multiverse. ”"That universe is too old, and the various rules within it have tended to be chaotic after dozens of epochs, just like a dying human being, there are always various diseases coming to the door.""
It was the end of the stars, and there were disasters of one kind or another on every planet, and the fire of life was withering, like a lush jungle turned into a desert.""
The cosmological constants are out of order, the rules of magic are gone, and when the bucket starts to leak, it's only a matter of time before it collapses completely.""
I've tried my best to control the burning and not let more heat bring destruction, but it's already shattered, and the all-round collapse is no longer something I can control."

TheOne's voice became low and vicissitudes, and it said, "Eventually, it's dead." ”"It's like a balloon that has been punctured, the matter and energy in the universe are thrown into the void by a rush, and the universe itself becomes shriveled.""
There is no spark of life lit again, and the corpse of the universe becomes cold.""
I should have died with my universe at that time, it was Gao Tianzun who brought me out of the collapsed universe, and he also brought out a lot of useful materials...""
You stars were rebuilt from the corpse of a dead universe, a common occurrence in the multiverse.""
As far as I know, Cyber.
In the same way, Hawke also saved a strange twin universe. ”The wind subsided slightly, and the wind carrying hundreds of millions of tons of dust was sent out of the furnace, and the dust was sprinkled outside the cosmic furnace, and was pulled by the gravity of the giant star.Outside the furnace, they formed a grayish-white ring, as if they had put a beautiful crown on the furnace stars.Merlin listened to TheOne's description, and he looked around, the stains on the ancient instruments had been removed, and they had taken on their original form, like brass cast metal, reflecting an ancient, gentle light.It's like a clean coin that has been wiped out."
They're the ones who built the stars, Merlin."
TheOne's voice was still echoing, this time with a little more emotion, and it said to Merlin, "No matter how much you hate them, no matter how much you hate them, no matter how much you despise them, you must remember that." ”"If it weren't for them, there wouldn't be where you are now.""
There will not be this illusory world that has made you gain countless feelings and touches.""
Yes."
Merlin nodded, and he pushed the Raven Book forward, and the slime-like blue cosmic force was sent into the heart of the furnace.It was a huge egg-shaped combustion chamber, as huge as the Earth's mantle layer, and the Force that was sent into it seemed insignificant, but when it fell into the combustion chamber, the compressed Force expanded rapidly.These fuels are only used for initial ignition.Once the furnace is restarted and the stars change, a symbiotic system will be established, and as the universe expands, a steady stream of "fuel" will be sent into the furnace to support its long-term combustion.Every time the furnace does not have enough fuel, it will go out again, which means the end of one cosmic epoch and then the restart of the next cosmic epoch.This is the change of epochs, just like the four seasons and the dead wood in spring.Merlin said to TheOne as he poured firewood, "I have never selectively forgotten the actions of the outer gods who shaped the world, and I thank them from the bottom of my heart for creating these stars, and I am grateful that they sent me here to go through all this." ”"But that doesn't stop me from raising my arms against them at the last moment...""
It's not because I don't know how to be grateful, it's just that ants are still stealing life, and in the face of the ruthless Creator's unjustified destruction, we also have the right to resist.""
It's not a conflict that the Creator created all things, and I smashed the chains and set all things free, right?""
You're always justified."
TheOne replied with a smile, feeling the fullness of the firewood, and the heavy weight made it let out a scream of joy."
Alright, alright, keep some and don't pour it again!"
It stopped Merlin from pouring all the Cosmic Force into the inner core of the furnace, saying, "I haven't burned for a long time, I need to adjust the frequency of my resonance with the stars, these forces are enough for testing, and the rest will be dumped on the day of ignition." ”"Ah, after a long time, I will burn again, and devour the darkness, and swallow the light.""
Praise be to you, flame of creation...""
Huh?
Why don't you leave yet?
Do you want to stay here and chat with me?
”The furnace looked at Merlin, who was still in place, and he said, "What do you seem to want to say?"
”"Yes."
Merlin stroked the Raven's Book around his waist, and he asked softly, "I do have one more question...
Or is it more appropriate to call a deal, would you like to hear about it?
