Soul of Burning Steel

In the multiverse, there are countless world structures, and the light of the primordial fire also has thousands of forms.

In this unknown world, the beginning of all things is the crimson sky.

A huge red star hangs in the universe, and the faint light of the late star shines on its only three remaining planets. Countless tens of thousands of years have passed since the last expansion, and only the most distant galaxy with seven planets remains of three planets survived.

The closest planet to this red giant star has been tidally locked. Half of this rocky planet has experienced eternal scorching heat, and the crust has melted, while the other half has endured cold and dark ice, and the remaining gas has melted. As a liquid, it surges in the crevices of the rocks.

The second planet is rotating at a strange oblique angle. The overly violent solar wind destroyed its atmosphere countless years ago, disrupting the planet's magnetic field, and the violent impact disturbed the axis of the star's rotation.

The farthest away from the red giant star is a dark blue giant gaseous planet. Perhaps because it is too far away, it has not changed due to the expansion of its mother countless years ago, but has continued along the same path as before. Following its own orbit, it rotated quietly in the darkness.

And everything starts here.

The surface layer of the gaseous giant star is an extremely violent and violent air flow. The fast-flowing wind brings up one after another cyclone on its surface layer. They continue to merge and expand with each other, and eventually they can even grow into hundreds or even thousands of kilometers in diameter. The super storm, even from outside the sky, can clearly see this spectacular scene.

Joshua's consciousness was awakened at this moment. He stood in the vacuum and didn't react for a while, but the next moment, the scene changed, and he had already entered this gaseous giant star.

A deep blue sea of ​​gas.

In this magnificent sea of ​​atmospheric clouds, endless and inconceivable strange air currents are always surging, and the red giant star that occupies at least two-thirds of the sky illuminates all of this with its not warm light, the spirit of a warrior Following a dark guidance, he moved towards its interior. By the time Joshua understood where he was and was shocked by it, he had already entered the slightly calmer depths of the gas giant.

In the depths of the thin gas ocean, there are countless crystallization, ice or metal fragments of material particles surging with the air flow, and the energy from the interior of the star core pushes them to surge towards the outside, and then gradually fall back. It has lasted for about tens of millions of years since its birth, and the magic power of the astral body, which is so huge that it shocks all existence, has washed these tiny dusts over and over again.

Joshua looked at this scene. Although he who was attacking the fragments of the evil god suddenly appeared here for some reason, the warrior didn't care. Instead, he was interested in observing the interior of the gas giant.

Thinking of the amazing structure inside the Heretic God Fragment, he couldn't help but have a premonition.

Soon, his premonition came true.

Time was speeding up, and under the erosion of the huge star magic power, under the influence of tens of millions of years of magic power, with these insignificant particles of matter that were completely assimilated by magic power as the core, a strange life was born.

In the beginning, they were clusters of ignorant and shapeless energy aggregates. They followed the hurricane of hundreds of kilometers per second and wandered in the relatively gentle air sea, absorbing the magic power from the depths of the planet to strengthen themselves, but because The unstable outer structure of the gas giant star, this kind of life may be destroyed and killed by too violent air flow changes at any time. It seems that they realized that the environment in which they were born was too dangerous, so they instinctively moved towards the deeper interior of the star with higher air pressure .

These life forms with elemental life forms similar to air elements finally settle in relatively stable deep gaseous structures. They feed on the magic radiation released by the planets, and use a special kind of magic fluctuations between them, that is, electromagnetic radiation. comminicate. Tens of thousands of years have passed, their wisdom has not grown much, and naturally no civilization has been born, but this kind of elemental life cruising in the sea of ​​​​the atmosphere has its own unique social form, and too large gas life will unite , create an 'artificial' stable gaseous structure in the turbulent flow, and split a part of itself inside to give birth to new daughter bodies, until they grow up to be able to act independently in the air sea, they are all released, just like fungi spreading spores Generally spread the continuation of their own life.

This strange life form born in a gas giant star really opened Joshua's eyes, but he knew that all this was not the end, or even just the beginning.

In the depths of giant stars, the space suitable for gaseous life is limited, and the stable area is less than everyone imagined, and it is blocked by countless turbulent cyclones. Some gaseous life resolutely moves towards the unstable surface of the star in order to find a new home. Fly away, but the excessively intense air surge ruthlessly tore the bodies of all adventurers, even the most gigantic gas life cannot withstand the impact of the storm with a speed exceeding hundreds of kilometers per hour.

Joshua watched this scene, and time flowed billions of times faster in this illusion, until thousands of years later, a gaseous life that tried to compress its body appeared.

Compress the gas that makes up your body, condense the energy in your body into rapidly surging gusts, and turn your huge body with a radius of more than a few kilometers into a dark blue gaseous sphere that is only a few meters in size. This gas life is finally here. After an adventure in turbulent conditions, he broke through the barrier of the rapid wind and came to the surface of the star.

It saw the red giant star that covered most of the sky and was still expanding.

Elemental life has no ability to distinguish colors, but it can sense the terrifying power of the ball hanging above its head. The energy radiation of the star is so large that it can cover the entire gaseous giant, carrying a huge flow of magic power. , Scoured on the surface of the planet, and the conflict of magnetic fields even produced all kinds of brilliant lights.

The beginning of wisdom is the crimson sky.

Perhaps it was due to the conflict of two different energy radiations that mutated the gaseous life that compressed itself, or perhaps it was the accumulation of instincts accumulated over tens of millions of years. All in all, wisdom was born among this peculiar race for the first time. The gas life that returned to its hometown taught the method of compressing its own body to all the beings it could communicate with. Immediately afterwards, countless dark blue gaseous spheres floated out of the ocean of the atmosphere, gaining wisdom under the light of the stars.

Gradually, the new generation of gas life can possess wisdom without going to the surface of the star, but this process has gradually become fixed, and it has become their rite of passage. Only the gas life that compresses itself, goes to the surface of the atmosphere and returns smoothly to be recognized as a member of the race.

They call themselves 'Gass', which is a word representing 'wisdom' in the language of the initial birth of gaseous life.

The civilization of Gass is progressing slowly, they have no tools, and they do not have any material materials, but even so, the civilization of Gass is progressing slowly in units of hundreds of years. They use magic power and gas to build a 'wall' that is strong enough to withstand the riot cyclone , opening up the territory of their own civilization in the interior of the star bit by bit, those inferior Gasses that did not give birth to wisdom were used as building materials by the higher class that could compress themselves, and were continuously filled into this huge gas Great Wall, becoming the foundation of the nascent civilization part.

"The way this energy is used is very peculiar."

Joshua witnessed all of this in the scattered phantom fragments. A ball of energy light emerged in his hand, and he learned the method of Gass compressing himself to condense energy. Soon, imitating the movement of gaseous life, this ball The light sphere has an incomparably solid structure. It is obviously just an energy body without substance, but it can condense into various shapes as if it were substance.

If the soldier seems to gain something, he feels that as long as he continues to study this strange life form, he will definitely gain something. Even the advancement of the power of steel can find some clues. In just such a short time, he will He has already optimized the structure of his grudge barrier and the energy flow in his body, increasing the defense of his body surface and physical body by more than half.

Even the gaseous life without much wisdom still has something for soldiers to learn with humility. Every life is a unique miracle, and there are definitely merits.

But the scene that followed caused his pupils to constrict suddenly.

In the chaotic void outside the world, there are some huge monsters cruising past. This huge existence does not show the slightest form in the material world, but in the horizon of energy, it seems to be a shadow that can cover the light of stars. The red giant star with three planets then disappeared into the deeper void.

But, just for a moment.

The end has come.

The red giant star, which originally had a lifespan of tens of thousands of years, suddenly began to burn abnormally and rapidly. Its bright but not hot star surface suddenly boiled, as if it had returned to its most prosperous time, and the red light in an instant It turns into a bright golden color, and the endless gas fuses and burns inside it, and then——

Then it burns out.

The balance of energy and mass is broken, and the core of the aging star shrinks rapidly at an incredible speed. After the inexplicable arrival of the [peak], the star ushered in its own end. The radius of its outer shell sometimes expands and sometimes shrinks, accompanied by ejection Out of the stream of hot gas, a white, slowly rotating miniature star can be vaguely seen appearing in the center of the original giant star.

The first fire goes out, so that's where all things end--a dim, but never gentle light.

The seemingly huge gaseous giant was engulfed by the enlarged shell of its own sun without the slightest stagnation under the terrifying changes brought about by the sudden change of the stars. Gass' fragile civilization was completely destroyed almost instantly under the power of the stars. The reason why I say almost is because some of the most powerful gasses did not die under such changes. Their gas shells compressed to the extreme have become barriers strong enough to withstand everything, and they have survived this A drastic change.

The surviving gas clings to the iron core of the gas giant, which is the only remnant of the world they once lived in, but the iron core is gradually getting colder in the dark universe, and the sun, which has turned into a white dwarf, cannot Then release light and heat, these gaseous beings that feed on energy, just like this in the lonely and cold darkness, sense the magic radiation left by their companions, and then gradually die out.

The illusion is over.

And a new evil god was born.

In the dark void, the soldier looked at this scene. The illusion from the fragments of the evil god became colder and colder in the later stages. He seemed to have personally experienced the despair of waiting for the death of his own life in a lonely vacuum. Joshua frowned, he already understood the origin of this illusion, but he didn't understand why it happened.

But a slightly tired man's voice appeared out of nowhere, interrupting the soldier's thoughts.

"The thirteenth evil god is tentatively named [Atmosphere]. The reason for its formation may be due to the influence of the first evil god, [Feng Rao]."

With a heavy and hoarse voice, echoing in the dark void, he seemed to be exhausted, so his words were very brief: "[Atmospheric] The evil god did not come in person, it was only a part of its body that invaded the northern continent, the battle in the void Urgent, after I sealed some of its wreckage underground, I need to go to the front line as soon as possible. Please inform the Chaos Research Institute as soon as possible after hearing this message. We cannot rule out the possibility that the evil spirit of the atmosphere will come again. It can be used flexibly for the next time.”

"The third saint under the seat of sages was established on the seventeenth day of October in the five thousand three hundred and nineteenth year of the sacred calendar."

After that, there was an incomparably bright knife light that seemed to be able to split the world of stars and even the structure of time and space.

This blade light cut through the dark illusion, and also cut through the atmospheric touch that once descended from the sky. The holy light shone, and the evil god of chaos retreated.

Joshua completely broke away from the illusion. Holding the spear in his hand, he came to his senses, while Brandon's eyes were still a little dazed.

In front of the two of them, the internal structure of the fragments of the evil god was completely destroyed by the attacks of the two of them. The wind of chaos that was compressed to the extreme lost the energy structure that bound it, and wanted to explode and wreak havoc to destroy everything around it, but this chaotic force However, the beam of order light inside the sealed stone chamber was completely melted away, leaving only a wisp of dark blue smoke floating in the original black sphere.

Thousands of years have passed, and outside the sealed stone chamber, a steel shell was built by the latecomers. The craftsman engraved the scene of the saints repelling the evil gods, but the researchers he was waiting for did not know why and never came. ——Geological changes, volcanic eruptions, rock formations uplifted into mountain peaks, and the former seals were completely buried underground.

Until now, two heirs holding the heritage of the sages have come here.

"Is this... the truth about the birth of the evil god? The elemental world that bred many air elemental beings died so easily..."

The blond swordsman's eyes gradually became clearer, and his aura became stronger and stronger-the last saint's bright knife light was so exquisite, his use of energy and perception of the world had already been achieved. An extreme. After witnessing all this, Brandon immediately loosened the realm that had not been broken through for a long time.

He is actually like this, breaking through the extreme meaning of skills here!

I left for Shanghai early this morning and returned to Canada. It took a long time to pack my luggage... Today's update is only 4,000 words long, and I will add it when I get back.
