After obtaining Lin Xi's information, Qi Ge quickly returned to the God's Chosen City.
Lin Xi said that many Pandora's Boxes appeared in Avili, and many legendary heroes were fighting for the ownership of Pandora's Box. They believed that Pandora's Box was the key to open the obelisk.
Lin Xi said that after he attacked Pandora's Box, Pandora's Box opened automatically and gave him many great elves.
These great elves seemed to be given for free, and he didn't need to pay any price for them.
This situation reminded Qi Ge of the Time Worm that he had just heard about in the Echoes of History.
This made Qi Ge extremely anxious.
“I am very sure that there was no Pandora’s Box in my previous life. This is another butterfly effect that happened because of me.
If you want to take something in advance, you must give it first.
It looks very much like the work of Time Worm.
If this was really done by the Time Worm, not only the many legendary demigods of the Yasa world, but even Lin Xi would be in danger.
Chief Silena said that the gift from the Worm of Time is not so easy to obtain.
He will force the recipient to fulfill a task, and if the task is not completed, the recipient will be liquidated by the Devouring Worm.
Although I don't know what the consequences of this liquidation will be, I can tell with my toes that it will not be simple.
Lin Xi’s account being destroyed is a small matter, but the big deal is that so many legends and demigods are collectively in trouble.
These are the high-end talents that the Yasa world has accumulated over the years and after several chaos invasions.
Each of them is the equivalent of a nuclear bomb against Chaos, and now, the nuclear arsenal is about to be wiped out by the Lord of Chaos."
The anxious Seven Pigeons quickly found the lucky messenger Milora as soon as they returned to the God's Chosen City.
He told Milola all he had gained from the Echoes of History and Lin Xi's discoveries, hoping that Milola would find a way to contact the goddess of fate.
After listening to Qi Ge's story, Milola had a complicated expression.
She sat on Qi Ge's shoulders and said to him:
“No wonder the goddess gave me an oracle not long ago and asked me to tell you about the Time Worm. It turns out that you encountered Him.
The goddess really dotes on you."
Milora comforted:
“Qi Ge, don’t worry.
Although the Worm of Time always acts together with Chaos, it is not the master of Chaos. "
"Ah?! The Worm of Time isn't the Lord of Chaos?"
Qi Ge was stunned.
"Um."
Milora nodded and explained:
“The Worm of Time is a high-dimensional deity that does not belong to Yasha or Chaos. It is much weaker than the Mother Goddess of Yasha and the Origin of Chaos. Its strength is probably only comparable to that of the Goddess of Wealth who has not yet fully recovered.
But the rules he mastered were very special, allowing him to remain safe and sound in the gap between Chaos and Yasha, and even to do something.
The essence of the Time Worm is a "loophole in time."
He is outside of time, existing simultaneously in the present and the past.
It can move arbitrarily in the past time and reach any node at any time in the past.
In areas where the rules are not stable enough, He can even control the fast forward, reversal, and pause of time, as well as various time phenomena derived from them.
For Him, the past is the future, the future is the present, and the present is the past.
Because of his ability to go back to the past at any time, he is beyond all disasters and is not even affected by chaos.
If anything happens that is harmful to Him, He can go back in time to avoid it.
Because of this, the increase and decrease of entropy in the entire void and the universe no longer has anything to do with Him.
Even if the void where the Yasa world is located reaches its end and completely disappears, it will have no effect on Him.
For Him, this moment is eternity.”
Go back in time from any point in time...
Qi Ge was a little surprised:
"What about the future? Since the Time Worm can go back to the past, why can't it go to the future?"
Milora rolled her eyes at Qi Ge:
"How should I know? Please don't ask me such profound questions. I am just the goddess's mouthpiece.
Be quiet and listen to the end."
Seven Pigeons: ...
Seeing that the seven pigeons had calmed down, Milora continued:
“The Time Worm will establish a connection with the creatures of our world through [Gifts].
The purpose of doing so is to select the lives of the Yasa world to become its followers.
He is different from Yasha's mother. He has no relatives of his own and can only plunder creatures from other worlds to become his own relatives.
He will make his followers become part of his body, so that they can also gain the ability to freely return to the past.
However, becoming a follower of the Time Worm means transcending the Yasa world and never being able to return.
The Worm of Time is mistaken for the Lord of Chaos because it always follows the tentacles of Chaos.
When an orderly world is invaded by chaos, it will take the opportunity to extend its tentacles to the creatures of this world.
As long as you grasp his tentacles and become his believer and follower, you can escape the world before it is swallowed by chaos."
Hearing this, Qi Ge suddenly felt a chill.
He frowned and asked:
“The living beings of the world are originally one with the world; they prosper together and suffer together.
When the ordered world is invaded by chaos, the ordered creatures have to resist chaos for their own survival, whether they like it or not, even at the cost of their lives.
But if there is a time worm, orderly life will have a second way besides resistance.
The interests of orderly life are no longer bound to the orderly world, and they can jump off the ship and escape at any time.
The world of order was already on the brink of a very dangerous invasion by chaos. Only if all creatures in the world unite and resist together will there be a glimmer of hope.
But the Time Worm has caused people to lose their minds. Isn't this an accomplice of Chaos?"
Milora glanced at the seven pigeons and said:
"No.
The goddess said that the Worm of Time is called "Mother Worm" and "Last Salvation" by many creatures in the destroyed world.
The Time Worm is not afraid of chaos. It can go back to the past and restore order to its own energy that has become chaotic over time.
Although he looks very strange, he is also a god of order and the nemesis of chaos, especially the lord of evil who represents irreversibility.
After becoming a follower of the Time Worm, living beings will also enjoy a different kind of immortality like the Time Worm. From then on, they will be able to transcend life and death and time, and will no longer be afraid of chaos.
Of course, you are right.
From the perspective of living beings, the Worm of Time is indeed a good thing, but from the perspective of the orderly world, there is nothing wrong with calling him the Lord of Chaos.
Because the Time Worm has no world of its own and no family of its own, it loves all the ordered creatures in all the ordered worlds of the void equally and unconditionally.
He is willing to pay any price and spare no effort to help the creatures of order escape from the world and become his own.
However, His love is only for living beings and does not include the world.
The world where living beings were born is of no use to Him, and He does not care about the fate of the world after the living beings leave.
Even if this world is torn apart and destroyed by chaos.
Of course, His love does not include deities who already have divinity.
The gods themselves are great powers, and it is impossible to become their followers.
Therefore, the Time Worm is a pest of the world and an enemy of the gods, but it is also the last savior of all living beings. "
At this point, Milora clapped her hands and laughed:
“Qi Ge, you immediately thought that the Time Worm was bad, which shows that you have completely stood on the side of the gods and the Yasha world.
Well! Not bad, not bad, the goddess’ trust in you is not in vain. "
Qi Ge's expression suddenly became solemn:
"Of course, I am loyal to the Yasha World and the God of Destiny. I am willing to sacrifice my life and shed my blood, even if it means going into battle naked, to repay the God of Destiny for his kindness.
Lord God's Messenger, so we still have to take care of this Pandora's Box incident?"
"Of course I have to."
Milora said with a serious expression:
“Another believer of our Destiny Church has reported the Pandora’s Box incident to the Goddess.
After the God's observation of the long river of fate, it is very likely that this incident was not just the work of the Worm of Time, but that a true Lord of Chaos was involved.
This time it is a terrible disaster that could potentially plunge the Asian world into a huge crisis.
The fog of chaos was very disturbing, but the goddess's eyes still saw the key to everything.
The long river of fate reveals to us that the source of all disasters comes from an immortal witch.
Find her and put an end to this disaster."
[System prompt: Congratulations to the player for triggering the mission: Source of Disaster.]
【The source of disaster
Golden Demigod Quest
Mission Statement:
The signs of disaster have already appeared, and the dark cloud of destruction is hanging over the world of Yasa.
The goddess's prophecy makes it clear to you that the one who will unlock the key of destruction will be an immortal woman.
Please find her and prevent the disaster from happening. 】
"The immortal witch... Jenny?"
Qi Ge touched his chin and his eyes fixed:
“Wait, that’s not right.
The Immortal Witch Jenny is indeed the most famous witch in the entire Yasha world, but there is more than one witch in the Yasha world.
Elaine Lan, who was parasitized by evil demons and completely belonged to chaos, is neither old nor dead.
There is another legendary hero who is immortal but not famous for his immortality!
Daughter of Skyfire, Luna!"
…
Luna often thinks about the meaning of life.
When she buried her white-haired sixteenth-generation granddaughter with her young girlish face, she realized that she was the only immortal witch.
[Immortality] is the highest fortune for the vast majority of living things.
But it is a torture only for the Immortal.
Luna couldn't stand her relatives, friends, and lover constantly moving away from her, so she chose to close her heart and live alone.
Unlike the undead, Luna is a standard human being. She has all the joys, sorrows, anger and happiness that all humans have.
Life is so long and boring that we always have to find some fun.
As a witch, Luna naturally chose to study magic and reached the level of legend without realizing it.
Because she didn't want to experience the pain of losing her family and friends again, Luna chose not to contact others.
Apart from exchanging letters with a few equally long-lived friends, Luna spent most of her time hiding away, studying quietly on her own.
Long-term lack of contact with people has made Luna very socially anxious.
This social phobia caused Luna's magical talent to gradually focus on fire wall magic in the process of becoming a legend.
Luna has mastered the magic of fire wall to such an extreme that she can even release fire wall without the help of a magic book.
When she thought about it, a wall of fire big enough to lick the sky would ignite.
When studying magic alone, there will definitely be times when you have to go out.
If you go out, you will meet other people.
Once Luna, who suffers from social anxiety, is approached by a stranger, she will surround herself with a huge wall of fire that reaches the sky, and then move under the cover of the wall of fire.
Luna lived too long and finally left her mark in this world.
She herself didn't realize that she was actually very famous in the Asian world because of the praise from her [pen pals].
Because of Luna's dazzling beauty and her terrifying, awe-inspiring magic power, she was even given the honorific title of "Skyfire Witch".
There is a little story behind this honorific title.
A bard who didn't know the truth met Luna during his travels.
He was attracted by Luna's beauty and wanted to approach her and strike up a conversation with her.
As expected, a wall of fire suddenly appeared, blocking his path.
He was very courageous and kept circling around the wall of fire.
Luna, who is socially phobic, has never dared to put away the firewall.
The two of them remained frozen in place for a whole day and night.
The bard shouted to Luna through the firewall several times, but Luna, who was socially anxious, did not dare to respond.
In the end, the bard could only leave in disappointment.
He mistakenly thought the wall of fire that enveloped Luna was falling from the sky.
After investigating Luna's specific identity, he spread the legend of Luna to the outside world with admiration for the strong.
“Luna, the Skyfire Witch, is a goddess favored by the Lord of Fire Element.
A mere mortal like me has no right to get close to her.
Once a mortal approaches, the Fire Elemental Lord will drop a huge wall of fire from the sky to protect Luna.
Ah, so powerful, the Skyfire Witch!"
As we all know, news from the bards is always shared with each other.
The title of [Skyfire Witch] quickly spread from one bard to all bards in the world of Yasa.
With the praise of a group of bards, Luna unknowingly gained a recognized and extremely domineering nickname, as well as a group of followers who admired her.
In the eyes of most NPCs in the Yasha world, Luna is a very cool and standard mage.
Strong, beautiful, solitary, and eccentric.
But this impression was quickly broken by the players.
In the eyes of stupid players, Luna is just a cute girl, no matter if she is a witch or not.
When you see someone, you surround yourself with a wall of fire. What's the difference between this and a snail retreating into its shell?
He looks cute, is socially anxious, and a little withdrawn. What kind of a character is this?
Today is the day when Mother Goddess Yasa comes, and Luna has to be a cute girl!
Thus, the Cult of Luna was officially established among the players.
Supporters of Fire Wall Girl and Ice Ring Girl argued fiercely in the forum every day about who was the most beautiful woman in the world of Yasha. Occasionally, supporters of Adela would join the battlefield and then besieged by both sides.
At this time, because of the appearance of the obelisk, Luna, who had been living in seclusion, also arrived in Avili from her hiding place in the Elemental City .
Now, she was hiding behind a big rock, looking at the Pandora's Box that everyone was fighting for with a conflicted look on her face.
