Chapter 848 The Dogma of Time and Space Realm: The Self-Balance of Coexistence
"Mage?"

The burly and powerful Lord Balgruuf, the ruler of Xuemanling, sat on the seat at the end of the Dragon Cloud Palace hall, frowning as he looked at the black figure standing in the palace.

Wearing a black cloak, the exterior is pure black and the interior is red. The wide cloak hangs down neatly behind him, looking very neat and unrestrained. However, most of the face under the hood is hidden in the shadows, only the clean jaw is exposed.

The mage was very young, and he was not a race other than humans, which disappointed Lord Balgruuf a little.

He didn't intend to meet the other party at first. Although he is not a lord who likes to put on airs, he is indeed busy with everything. There are too many things in the whole Xueman that require him to have a headache, especially now that the situation in the entire Skyrim Province is precarious. in the case of.

If anyone who comes to Dragon Cloud Palace can be received by him without mentioning his name or whether he has brought important news, will Lord Balgruf still work?
The reason why he changed his mind now is that when he was having a headache about the situation, when he received the report from the guard, he couldn't help thinking that no one would be bored to entertain himself, and the guard said that the other party looked mysterious. , he subconsciously thought that perhaps he should meet.

It's a pity that Lord Balgruf was somewhat disappointed by the mage's first impression.

Mystery is indeed very mysterious...

But young is really too young...

There is no hair on the mouth, and the work is not fast.Many people actually think so even if they don't say it on the surface, especially the profession of a mage is different from a warrior. What is needed is not the prime of life, but the accumulation of wisdom and knowledge and experience, which often grows proportionally with age of.

Not a race with extraordinary talent, and no special bloodline, such mages are basically rookies at the apprentice level, right?

In order to confirm this, Lord Balgruf also felt it carefully, and found that the fluctuation of the opponent's holy magic power was really extremely weak, and he couldn't feel it at all, and finally gave up completely.

"What's the matter with you?" Without expressing his thoughts or disappointment, the lord asked in a deep voice, his face full of majesty.

"My lord, let me introduce myself, I am a traveler..." The magician looked at the same long-lost Lord Xueman with some emotion, and then smiled slightly, "I am here to take the liberty of visiting because I want to be with you. You make a deal."

"trade?"

Lord Balgruuf was slightly taken aback, and then became more interested. He leaned forward and rested his chin on one hand, and looked at the mysterious man in front of him with interest: "Tell me, what is it?"

Then, he saw the mysterious mage raised his head slightly, smiled at himself, and the pair of clear eyes under the hood met his gaze, as if there was a kind of creepy magic power, It can suck the soul of a person into it.

Without any resistance, Lord Balgruuf felt a weird stiffness spreading in his body, hindering even the simplest movements, making him unable to look away.

In just an instant, he felt as if his consciousness had been pulled out of his body, pulled by some invisible force, and sucked into those eyes that were more terrifying than black holes. The sky and the earth were within his consciousness. Quickly moving away from the center, time becomes visible and zooms in instantly, constantly zooming in.

Or maybe his soul was not pulled out of his body, but some information flowed into his mind, as if there was an image of the entire universe slowly unfolding in his mind, as if standing on the edge overlooking the dark and terrifying Like a bottomless abyss, let him see exactly at this moment——

future!

From the very near to the very far, from the largest to the smallest, they swarmed and revolved around the human senses.

It was a magnificent scene of doomsday destruction, the void was shaking, and chaos was disintegrating.

It is extremely vast and endless, far beyond the horrors that human beings can imagine. It is ancient celestial bodies that are trembling and collapsing...

A flood of unsettling revelations flooded Balgruuf's mind, and in an instant he knew exactly what was going on.

In the universe of Orbis, there are a total of eight planets. According to the extremely ancient legends that have been handed down to this day, those celestial bodies are actually the "body" of the fallen Idra...that is to say, each planet They are all planes or bodies of a god, corresponding to the legends and beliefs of the Eight Holy Spirits.

The quality and volume of each god's plane is infinite, but it appears as a ball in the eyes of ordinary people, which is the true face of the planet.This is due to the limitation of mortals' own thinking and stereotypes. Their vision is not open, and they can only see the corpses of the extremely distant gods as a limited "point" in the night sky.

As far as it is now, this is not nonsense.

Those celestial bodies, those huge planes wrapped in the night sky, are trembling and disintegrating at this moment. They have been silent for eternity and endless years, and they are reviving from "death", struggling in the universe. Free yourself from the shackles of the void.

The void is like an angry ocean that is constantly biting, the turbulent waves are coming wave after wave, the gods revive, the world collapses, and the trembling shock waves pass by, shaking the trembling void .As a result, space is distorted, time is also rolled into a vortex, and all orders, laws, and even common sense begin to become chaotic.

Everything in the world has been subverted, not to mention the laws of physics, even magic will be abnormal at this moment.

On the macroscopic level, even the river of time is shrinking, everything is falling apart, the eight planes are like eight spokes, like the wheel structure supporting the material plane in the middle, the whole world is moving from the inside out Collapsed and broken.

From the virtual historical information to the physical energy, everything is like a sand castle built on the beach, and it has collapsed the moment the surging tide hits it.

The reason is very simple. If the world is a house, then the current situation is that all the pillars, foundations, load-bearing walls, etc. of the house suddenly come alive. But no matter what, the house is bound to collapse.

Balgruuf could only accept this information passively, even the most resolute Nord barbarian could not help but lose his mind at this moment.

This has nothing to do with race, nor is it an impact that a mortal's will and mind can easily withstand. He just felt dizzy, and countless terrifying scenes and thoughts squeezed his consciousness, suppressing his instinct and rationality.

This fear can overwhelm any mortal's reason, especially if he is directly revealed and has an epiphany of what is going on.

He subconsciously looked at the planet Nirn and at the world where mortals live.

Immediately afterwards, the raging ocean engulfed the land, volcanoes erupted and billowed with smoke, and under the unprecedented super earthquake, the islands and continents split and sank into the sea one after another... Nairn was no exception, the bones of the earth cracked , the ancient god crawled out of the abyss.

next moment--

There was a clear and clear voice that sounded beside the man: "This is the end, they come from the stars, and everything will end."

…………

With a jolt, Balgruuf returned to reality in a trance.

He turned his head and looked around in a daze, and found that he was still in the familiar Longxiao Palace. Nuoda's palace inevitably seemed a little empty, with two long tables and rows of long braziers below. Neatly, the brazier is burning fiercely.

Let the air in the empty palace be a little warmer in the cold.

In the past, he would have a sense of fulfillment sitting here, although he was troubled by all kinds of affairs and troubles that could not be dealt with... But now, all of this made him feel unusually unreal, as if he was rootless. Ping, will disappear at any time.

"Lord?"

The chief guard next to him was an elite among the elite, and he noticed something strange in an instant, and immediately misunderstood it.

Could it be that this mage is so fearless that when he met the ruler of Xueman, he dared to use illusion to confuse and manipulate the spirit of the lord?
"Stop, I'm fine." Balgruf came back to his senses, raised his hand and said in a deep voice, stopping the guards coming from all around.

The latter and others looked at each other, not quite sure what was going on for a while, but the court mage was by the side, carefully observed the lord's state, and after confirming that no spells had interfered, he pointed at the head of the guard. head.

A confrontation between multiple parties and multiple parties just disappeared invisible, and nothing happened.

"..."

"..."

After a long silence, Balgruf, who was sitting in his seat, didn't know what he was thinking, and his face was very gloomy.

He very much hoped that everything he had just experienced, those short and fragmented consciousnesses were a vain dream, but it happened to be so real that it made his hair stand on end. It was neither image nor sound, but an undeniable apocalypse.

This mysterious mage who claims to be just a traveler has just sent his mind into the river of time, crossed the abyss of time, and the spirit projected into the future has clearly seen the terrifying doomsday——

My mother doubts that the entire universe will experience a big collapse, catastrophe, and mass extinction in the not-too-distant future!

"Why did this happen?" With a hoarse voice, the man asked, staring at the mysterious existence in front of him.

When he met the other party, he hoped that this person could bring some change to himself who had been suffering from headaches these days.

Well now, a turning point has indeed appeared. Balgruuf had been suffering from the sharp reduction in food production due to the civil war in Skyrim before, but now it seems that he no longer has a headache—in the face of even more terrible disasters, this is not worth paying attention to at all. The problem.

"After the creation of the world, no Idra survived..."

The magician smiled slightly, "But why did the gods sacrifice themselves to create the world? The world and mortals don't take it for granted to enjoy the dividends brought by their sacrifices. They don't want to continue to maintain the world now, it's as simple as that."

The fall at this time is for the ascension at that time, and the gods created the world for the sake of detachment.

It's not because God loves the world and is impartial and selfless, that's why he created the world and created all things...

There is no right or wrong in this kind of thing, and there is no distinction between good and evil, but the weak really have no right to choose, so everything can only end here.

"Mage, what is the deal you mentioned earlier...?" Balgruf asked in a deep voice after taking a deep breath.

This is definitely an existence that can stand shoulder to shoulder with the gods, no matter what, this is the only chance he can rely on at the moment.

……

……

Time flies, about two months later.

A tall tower invisible to ordinary people stood up in Xueman's collar.It imitates the structure of the world wheel, places itself in the absolute center of the universe, reproduces the foundation of the rules of creation, and turns it into a pillar of the present world.

Xia Ran personally went to the Throat of the World, and took away the original stone of the Snow Pagoda without anyone knowing - "Tower" is a very important concept, but in this world, not all It refers to tower buildings.

For example, the "Brass Tower" is a god built by the Dwemer clan for themselves. This giant walking tower looks like a human being, and it is a brass giant walking in the world...

Another example is the "Staff of Chaos", which is itself one of the many "towers"... So it is not surprising that the real face of the "Snow Tower" is actually a mountain, the highest peak in the world standing in the sky.

Magicians themselves have nothing to care about, they have already reached this point, instead of letting these things disappear with the entire universe, it is better to use them, and by the way, they can also maintain the key process of this period of history.

That's right, Xia Ran doesn't intend to tamper with history during this period of time, doing so will cause unnecessary trouble.

Because this universe is a dream of the great god Anu...

Time and space can be played with in front of the transcendent, but if the timeline to be modified is caught in the struggle between two powerful beings, it will become very troublesome.And although God Anu didn't know what he had experienced and fell into such a long dream, he was definitely the best among the immortals.

His dream created the universe of the Elder Scrolls, which is not surprising, but what is frightening is that even the thoughts in the dream can evolve into conceptual gods, and after escaping from Anu’s dream, they are also real The immortals in the sense can be called the existence of gods and demons in the upper realm.

This is terrible.

Xia Ran didn't want unnecessary fights and wasted time, so after reviewing this period of history, he felt that maintaining this space-time node was a more profitable choice.Don't clash with Anu and let it go on like history.

In this way, this period of his past can still be double protected-if someone wants to make a fuss about this, the timeline will change accordingly, and it will also affect this powerful immortal who gave up on himself and fell into a long dream. At that time, there will be a double blow with getting up Qi.

"It's really nostalgic..."

On the high tower, facing the hunting wind blowing, the magician watched the group of people who were teleported to this plane accompanied by the beam of light invisible to the naked eye.

They appeared out of thin air in the depths of the snow-capped mountains just north of Xuemanling, shivering under the heavy snow all over the mountains and the howling cold wind, and each of them was as cold as grandchildren, but it was also because of this that they appeared in an inaccessible area. The wilderness of the wilderness, very well integrated into the world at the first time.

The magician saw the scene where the 1.4-meter loli was talking to the members and temporary members, and also saw himself who was still very young at the time.

Xia Ran, a lost person who just entered this mission world, also brushed off the snowflakes that fell on his head, turned to look at the tall tower standing in the distance at Xuemanling, and smiled calmly.

The magician looked away and stopped looking at himself. After all, this feeling is indeed a subtle feeling of schizophrenia.

He turned his eyes to the sky, staring at the beams of light that came in the past or in the future. This is the trace of the space-time super-space delivery technology, as obvious as the trajectory cloud of a fighter jet.

During this period of time, this world has been flooded with visitors from outside the domain. Some of them are powerless and unable to rely on muscle strength to break the rules of physics, and their speed is as slow as an old woman crossing the road, unable to reach the standard of the speed of light at all. ordinary people.

There is also the breath of those in power.

This is understandable. The level of this world is not an ordinary copy for wanderers, and there are many opportunities for them to use and pursue power, knowledge, etc., so when the main line of space is opened, they will definitely use all means to come to this place. international.

Xia Ran is a peace-loving person, and he doesn't want to have any conflicts with them, so although he doesn't stop these hard-working colleagues, he expresses to them very tactfully that he doesn't want to be disturbed by others——

Under the radiance of infinite divinity, the huge ancient snake entrenched in the sky provinces of countless timelines, looking indifferently at the wanderers descending in different event elements, the huge and sacred body exuded Cold meaning.

Don't approach strangers, stay away from acquaintances, if you dare to approach, you will be killed!
This kind of undisguised, naked threat, after weighing the gap between them, those extraterritorial gods and demons wisely chose to stay away, and none of them stepped into the boundaries of Skyrim Province.

At the same time, in the depths of Longxiao Palace, not only was it shrouded in infinite divine brilliance, but the magic artifact that was extremely close to the source of divinity was trembling and buzzing uncontrollably. Even the Demon God himself in the Annihilation Domain beyond the world felt trembling.

unimaginably powerful...

Mephala felt a terrible sense of crisis, unprecedented.

Because the ebony blade is an extension of his power, he can intuitively feel how stalwart and magnificent the existence that is close at hand is, and it is definitely not an existence that he can fight against. A sense of suffocation that could die at any moment.

While arousing a strong curiosity and interest in the unknown areas beyond the world, Mephala also felt the need to do something.

The image of that god is an ancient snake with seven heads and ten horns, an alien god, which made him unable to resist, and his sealed magic artifact was still under the opponent's nose, which made him uncomfortable... Now the opponent simply looks at it. They don't even look at themselves, but it's not a problem to hold the lifeline in the hands of others.

Hurry up and find someone unlucky to bind your magic weapon, at least take it out of the range of Dragon Cloud Palace, not so close to that tower or that snake, it will make him feel insecure.

At the same time, you can further implement your own escape plan...

——Thinking of this, Mephala felt that she had to act as soon as possible.
