From high above, Luna and Qi Ge finally saw the shape of the circular temple clearly.
Looking down from the air, the temple appears to be a very simple circle.
There are two vertical lines in the center of the circle, which looks like an eye widened to the limit.
What surprised Qi Ge was that the temple hall that housed the Time Insect Altar was actually located in the middle of the circular temple, with no passages connecting it.
Obviously, there is something strange about this circular temple.
"Qi Ge, look! The sun! The sun in this world is also ring-shaped!"
Luna pulled Qi Ge's hand in surprise, and Qi Ge immediately looked up at the sky.
In the dark sky, there is a circle of bright halo, the shape of which looks like a circular temple.
When Qi Ge was gazing at the sun, his vision suddenly rose infinitely, reaching the highest point.
He clearly saw the true face of the "sun"!
It was a huge black hole. A circle of extremely bright halo was rapidly rotating around the dark hole. Everything around it was gathering towards this object.
At the top and tail of the cavity, terrible torrents of matter and super-strong radiation are gushing out.
Qi Ge's pupils suddenly shrank.
"This is not the sun, this is a black hole. That glowing thing is the accretion disk of the black hole!
In an accretion disk, matter transfers angular momentum outwards through differential rotation and viscosity, and in this process, the gravitational energy carried by the gas is released.
This released gravitational energy heats the gas in the accretion disk, causing it to radiate outward, producing light and heat.
This is not the light of the sun, this is the light of death.
The planet where Luna and I are located is orbiting the black hole and approaching it at an extremely fast speed.
Once it enters a black hole, it will be torn apart by the huge gravitational force of the black hole and completely destroyed.
This is a world that is doomed, and the end is nigh.”
Qi Ge understood it in an instant.
How similar this world is to the Yasa world.
The Worm of Time wanted to tell himself that the Yasa world was just like this planet. In the face of huge terror, destruction was only a matter of time.
When Qi Ge realized this, the whole world suddenly began to move backwards.
The light and radiation ejected by the black hole are taken back by the black hole, and the planet moving towards the black hole begins to move backwards.
The rotten bones grew flesh and blood again, the baby returned to the mother's belly, the rivers flowed backwards, the rain rose into the sky, the planets turned upside down, and the nebula rotated in the reverse direction!
It was as if a great being had changed the direction of time, and the whole world was moving in the opposite direction!
"Light breeds darkness, darkness also envelops light, the future is the past, the past is the future."
The voice that Qi Ge and Luna heard when they just entered this world rang out again. Hundreds of millions of priests in black robes, holding strange stone slabs in their hands, kept chanting weird prayers.
Like the Seven Pigeons Luna, they were suspended in mid-air, as if independent of this world and not affected by the reversal of time.
Qi Ge and Luna looked at them warily.
As they chanted, more and more people broke away from the reversed time and flew towards them.
The black-robed priest reached out his hand, took out a strange, gleaming scale and handed it to them.
They took the scales, and a black robe appeared out of nowhere on their bodies, regardless of gender, age or status.
More and more people left the planet and joined the ranks of the black-robed men like rivers flowing into the sea.
"Light breeds darkness, darkness also envelops light, the future is the past, the past is the future."
The chanting of the black-robed people became louder and louder, making Qi Ge and Luna feel a little nervous.
At this moment, a man in black robe suddenly separated from the crowd and flew straight towards Qi Ge and Luna.
The black robe on his body gradually fell off in mid-air, revealing his true appearance.
She was a young girl with black hair and black eyes, and looked similar to Luna.
She approached Qi Ge and Luna, and immediately stared at Qi Ge.
“Amazing.
You shouldn't have been here, but you solved the puzzle left by the gods earlier than our [Time Insect Scale], and understood the hint of the Insect God earlier than her.
Perhaps you were born to be a follower of the Insect God."
When Luna saw her approaching, she shrank back behind Qi Ge nervously.
Although Luna looked scared on the surface, Qi Ge knew that she was just showing weakness to the enemy.
Qi Ge held Luna's hand and could feel the magic power in Luna surging rapidly, which meant that she was ready for battle and could cast magic at any time.
But Qi Ge was not in a hurry to let Luna take action, as he still had too many questions to answer.
It's rare to have someone to communicate with, and Qi Ge cherishes it very much.
He immediately asked:
"Who are you?
The insect god you are talking about is the Worm of Time?
What kind of existence is He? Can I see Him?
What do you mean by [Time Insect Scale]?"
Facing the questions thrown by Qi Ge one after another, the black-haired girl seemed calm.
She replied calmly:
“The Insect God is the Insect of Time.
The Worm of Time is just a name to the Worm God, nothing big.
If you like, you can also call him the Lord of the Past, the Dragon of Time.
As long as you join us and become a follower of the Insect God, you will naturally be able to see Him and understand what kind of existence He is.
As for me, I, like the girl next to you, am also the [Scale of Time Insect] of the Insect God.
We all have the characteristics of immortality. Even if we are torn into pieces, we will return under the protection of the Insect God."
Qi Ge could feel that Luna seemed a little nervous after hearing what she said, and even her palms clenched involuntarily.
Obviously, she was not wrong.
"【Time Insect Scales】are seeds scattered by the Insect God in various worlds. People are born with the ability to sense the Insect God's call.
When the world of [Time Insect Scale] is in danger of destruction, the seed will awaken and summon the arrival of the Insect God. "
The girl pointed to the distant black hole and said to Qi Ge:
“As you can see, this world has entered its final doomsday.
Once the world falls into the void, all matter, life, and civilization will be crushed by the hole and turned into dust and dissipated.
But the Insect God gave the world another chance.
Under our leadership, belief in the Insect God allows the world's creatures to become the Insect God's followers and escape the fate of destruction.
The same is true in your world.
Chaos has set its sights on your world, and destruction is imminent.
But you have been given a chance to take all the creatures in the world and escape the tragic fate of the world's destruction.
Just become a follower of the Insect God, and all disasters will go away from you."
Before Qi Ge could speak, Luna squeezed Qi Ge's hand and retorted forcefully:
“Shut up! The deity of our world is Mother Goddess Yasha, I will not be bewitched by you.
What time worm? It doesn't sound like a real god."
The girl glanced at Luna.
"That's because you don't understand the power of the Insect God.
Everything will eventually come to an end.
In the tiny dust, the invisible single-cell organism goes from birth to death in just a blink of an eye.
Among insects, mayflies are born in the morning and die in the evening, with a life span of only one day.
Our human lifespan is only 70 years, and living over 100 years is considered a long life.
The hot stars are majestic, but they will still go out after billions of years.
Even this eternal void will one day come to an end.
Only the insect god will never die.
No matter what disasters may happen in the future, the Insect God can go back to the past to avoid everything. By becoming a follower of the Insect God, one can achieve true immortality and live forever."
The girl looked at Luna and said softly:
"Time Insect Scale, you have an immortal body just like me, so you must have experienced the powerlessness of having to part, just like me.
In the face of terrible times, all good things have an expiration date.
Those you love and those who love you will all turn to powder and bubbles under the cruel time. Only you will be eternal, because you are the scale of the time insect.
So, go back to the Insect God.
As long as you come back, you can easily go back to the past.
All those precious things that have died and disappeared will return to you.
You can be with them over and over again, for as long as you want, and never have to suffer the pain of loss again."
At this moment, Qi Ge clearly felt Luna's hesitation, and even the magical aura on her body became chaotic.
Oh no!
Qi Ge's heart skipped a beat.
Why does Luna have social phobia? It is because she has experienced too much loss and too much helplessness.
She herself will not die, but her relatives and friends will die.
The beautiful memories kept disappearing one after another, and Luna was heartbroken every time.
So she chose to close her heart, no longer have any relationships with people, and live forever in pain by chewing on memories.
But if I could go back to the past, everything that once was would come back.
“This is terrible. It seems that the Time Worm is very experienced in persuading these undead witches. He hits the nail on the head.
If I hadn't come along, Luna would have definitely defected."
"Wait a mininute!"
Qi Ge blocked Luna behind him and asked seriously:
"What you said seems to make sense, but I have a question."
Qi Ge pointed at the planet that was moving backwards and asked:
"If I'm guessing correctly, this scene isn't real.
The power of the Time Worm is definitely not enough to make the entire void go back to the past.
Otherwise, why would He allow us to be His family?
In the eternal void, there are countless worlds and countless living beings, and they don't make any difference whatsoever: the two of us.
What he reversed was not time, but us.
Neither we nor you can have any influence on this world that is turning upside down, and can only be bystanders.
In other words, we can only act as bystanders and cannot change the past that has already happened.
So, we haven’t traveled back in time, we’ve traveled outside of time, that’s the truth, right?”
The girl stared at Qi Ge, hesitated for a while, and nodded with a serious expression:
"Yes, you guessed it right.
The past has been determined and even the Insect God cannot change it.
But we can go back to any point in the past and observe all the changes that have taken place in the world.
It is very satisfying for us to watch those beautiful scenes replaying one after another, isn't it? "
Qi Ge breathed a sigh of relief.
It is true.
If the Time Worm can really reverse the entire void, then why resist? If you can't join them. Is there any bigger support than this?
Qi Ge continued:
"So, after we transcend time, what will the real world be like?
This planet will still move forward towards the black hole without looking back, and will still fall into the black hole and be shattered into pieces."
"Yes, but that has nothing to do with us anymore."
The girl said.
"What's the point?"
Qi Ge asked:
“The moment we become members of the Time Bug, the infinitely extended time becomes a finite line segment for us.
The past is the future, the end is the beginning.
We can no longer observe the future and can only move forward into the past.
And the past is set and nothing will change.
We can freely return to any point in the past and reminisce about everything in the past.
But the distant future with infinite possibilities has nothing to do with us from now on.
The same novel, after reading it again, will be much less interesting than the first time.
Watching it dozens of times will not be fun at all.
Why? Because fun comes from the unknown, and dreams come from uncertainty.
Only being able to watch the beauty of the past over and over again, and never being able to create new beauty, is more tragic than losing beauty and never being able to get it back! "
Facing Qi Ge's rebuttal, the girl frowned tightly.
She said angrily:
"What do you, a short-lived creature with a limited lifespan, know?
Only among us, the immortal scales of time worms, can we understand each other.
Look at that huge black hole.
In the face of a future that is destined to be shattered, what beauty can there be?
If the future holds only misery and pain, why not look to the past for beauty and joy?
Even the certainty of good is much better than pain."
"A future doomed to fail?"
Qi Ge shook his head and said:
“The future is never predetermined.
This planet is approaching a black hole, but there are still countless intelligent creatures on this planet.
What if one day, a group of geniuses came together and created a planet-scale engine capable of propeling a planet to escape a black hole?
What if someone awakened superpowers and was able to free a planet from the gravitational pull of a black hole?
What if someone became a god and crushed the black hole directly? "
The girl's expression froze:
"How is this possible! This is the world I live in. No one in our world has such ability. You are just seeing things from the sky.
Only by joining the Insect God and becoming his followers can one escape disaster under his protection."
"snort."
Qi Ge laughed:
“That’s what I’m saying.
When you choose the past, all the uncertainties in the future will have nothing to do with you. Can you see the end of the world after you leave?
You can't see it! Because the moment you become a Time Worm's family, the future has nothing to do with you. Your time turns around and you can only move forward towards the past.
The world is about to end. Isn't it more interesting for us to work together and use our own hands to open up another way to escape destruction than to endlessly reminisce about the past?
I always believe in the possibilities of the world. Until the last moment, anything can happen!
Rather than choosing the past that cannot be changed, I would choose the future that I create with my own hands.
What dragon of the past? Go to hell!"
After roaring passionately, Qi Ge looked at Luna and said:
"Your Majesty Luna, let's ignore her. She is a bad woman."
Luna blinked her eyes with a strange expression:
"What you said makes sense, but I think the past was pretty good."
Qi Ge: ???
Qi Ge: You TM!
