Chapter 454 The True Meaning of Life and Death
……

Tianlun Palace.

This once prosperous and fertile land is now covered in ruins.

The gods either fell or left.

The kingdom of God, which was once high and mighty and radiating brilliant light, also fell.

The entire heaven fell apart and shattered as a result.

nowadays.

All Matthew could see was a shocking sight of ruins.

A strong smell of decay hit me in the face.

Like the next moment.

This space, which once brought supreme glory to many gods, is about to disintegrate, shatter, and eventually step into the coffin of death.

That feeling is so depressing.

Matthew was so depressed that he found it difficult to breathe even in Paradise Lost.

But the feeling was not new to him.

In that dream of dusk.

The feeling that the "God-King Matthew" he played when facing the end of the world was almost the same as it is now.

Matthew knows.

The Dusk Disaster originated from the decay and destruction of Tianlun Palace.

That is an irreversible fate.

But it is also the saddest elegy of these angels before our eyes——

The building is about to collapse.

The gods can leave.

But these eternal angels cannot escape.

They are life forms created by the gods with the authority of Tianlun Palace.

They themselves are part of Tianlun Palace.

The glory days of Tianlun Palace.

They have infinite glory.

And Tianlun Palace is about to be destroyed.

They are doomed too.

Matthew looked at the angels, each of whom had a calm expression.

Only when she noticed Matthew's gaze.

There was a hint of provocation in their reminiscing eyes.

A powerful force separates Tianlun Palace and Paradise Lost.

The difference between the two is so obvious.

destroy.

With new life.

Matthew watched the Angel of the Dusk and his followers in silence.

It's not that he doesn't want to go.

But dare not.

now.

He has seen the full picture of the twilight disaster -

It originates from within Tianlun Palace and extends infinitely into the surrounding space.

The closer you get.

The more deeply involved you are.

These angels are ready to say goodbye to this world.

Each of them was ready to die, with calm eyes.

The look towards the new god was filled with teasing and pleasure.

obviously.

For those who are about to die.

The most refreshing news would be to have more people to take the blame when Tianlun Palace falls.

Matthew took a deep breath.

He realized that there was no need for him to seek revenge on these dying angels.

The best strategy is to seek relief immediately!

At this moment.

A moan sounded in his arms.

Matthew looked down.

I found that the little black cat woke up.

The latter blinked and became nervous, apparently realizing what was happening:
"Twilight Calamity?"

"Damn it, so I became the God King and turned all of you into cute puppies, was that just a dream?"

Matthew was too lazy to complain about Dark Paige's strange habits.

He asked in a deep voice:
"It can make all of us unknowingly enter an illusory dream, and it is difficult to extricate ourselves..."

"Is the power of the Dusk Angel so strong?"

The little black cat shook his head:
"no."

"The Dusk Calamity originated from the natural phenomenon caused by the destruction of Tianlun Palace. The Dusk Angel and other angels only leveraged this power a hundred times, and then transferred part of it to us.

This is not a difficult thing.

Because we carry the divinity and the divine fire within us.

The natural laws generated when Tianlun Palace was destroyed would think that we were the gods who were about to fall!

So we will be affected more seriously than ordinary people!"

Matthew's expression was serious:

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"

The little black cat had half of its fur blown up:
“I just thought of that too!”

"Even though I pretend to be a god often, it's actually very rare in history!"

“When the ancient gods first opened up the Twin Heavens, this world was still empty.”

"When Tianlun Palace was founded, the ruins of the Twin Heavens that might have affected them had already fallen into the astral realm. The two are completely unrelated."

"Our ascension to the gods this time is also the first time in the history of the Eindor world that there is a handover between the old and new heavens with such close time and space. In hindsight, it is reasonable that it will have an impact."

"But who could have imagined it beforehand?"

"In the end, it's all because these angels are so hateful. They're almost dead, but they can't bear to see others doing well..."

The little black cat complained for a while.

Immediately.

She looked at Matthew eagerly:

"What should we do now?"

Matthew silently stretched out his hand and grasped the authority of the God-King.

A large amount of information flooded into his mind.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Paradise Lost itself was not affected by the Twilight Disaster and can still operate normally.

And that was the moment he came into contact with the authority of the God-King.

The scenes in the dream reappeared clearly in Matthew's mind.

The details are so real.

It's so heart-wrenching.

But after overcoming the brief discomfort.

Matthew found that many of the memories and experiences from that big dream were valid.

in other words.

Although he has not yet become a true God King.

But he has already mastered many techniques of utilizing the authority of the God-King!

The only regret is.

Paradise Lost is currently too weak.

The scope of the God-King’s authority is limited.

"Let's stay away from Tianlun Palace first!"

Matthew calmly grasped the power, and then controlled Paradise Lost to fly away from Tianlun Palace.

But in this process.

He sensed a huge resistance!

Even if he tried his best.

Paradise Lost only flew out a little bit.

The divine fire that was originally surging on it actually became much weaker because of Matthew's action!

A huge force is pulling at Paradise Lost.

Pull it towards the center of Tianlun Palace!

Matthew's expression changed slightly.

Then came the low laughter of the angel of dusk:

"You were able to wake up from the Dusk Calamity and find the right coping strategy in time. Your Excellency really deserves to be saved."

"Take advantage of now, before things become completely irreversible, and escape from Paradise Lost as soon as possible to save yourself!"

"This is the most rational decision. If you want to save everyone, and even still hold on to the greed of becoming a god, then the only thing that awaits you is destruction!"

"Haven't you realized yet?"

"Paradise Lost has been captured by the force field generated when Tianlun Palace was destroyed, and your companions are all unconscious. You alone cannot raise Paradise Lost to a safe place..."

"Destroy it! Destroy it!"

"The strange change in the sky has come. The earth and mountains will be torn apart, and the ocean will be rolled upside down into the sky.

In some places, the land is barren for thousands of miles and there is no water all year round;
In some places, there will soon be torrential rains that will last for hundreds of years!

But the tearing of the material plane is only a harbinger of catastrophe.

When the behemoths ignite their nest fires and spread their wings, the wind and fire that rise in the universe will tear apart most planes;

Ultimately it is emptiness.

When the void comes, everything will be swallowed up.

There is no difference between life and death.

That being the case.

Then there will be no difference between dying early and dying late..."

"Destroy together with this great Tianlun Palace, poor new gods..."

As the dusk angel spoke, he began to sing a vicissitudes of life and ancient ballad.

The other angels followed suit.

The song seemed to be welcoming the arrival of the end of the world.

When the singing starts.

Matthew saw that in the space where Tianlun Palace was located, beams of light shot up into the sky from the peaks of every mountain range.

Around the light column, a large amount of lava and black smoke emerged.

The shrines on top of the mountains collapsed one after another.

Black hole-like gravitational vortices formed instantly.

The whirlpools and beams of light tore at the surrounding material layers.

A large amount of matter was destroyed!
that moment.

The entire Tianlun Palace was filled with painful cries, and the trillions of lives that had once left their traces in this space all let out wails that resonated with it!
Silently.

The square where the angels were was engulfed by a huge pillar of light.

This space is like a beautiful painting of mountains and rivers.

It is being torn apart bit by bit by that irresistible force.

Then fall!

Matthew stood quietly in Paradise Lost, observing the destruction of Tianlun Palace.

It's an amazing perspective and feeling.

It was clearly bombing outside, and he was in Paradise Lost, but he felt like it had nothing to do with me;

He was like an observer hiding in a space station and watching a planet disintegrate.

There is a feeling of being completely otherworldly.

In a trance.

This feeling is of course an illusion.

Because Paradise Lost had been pulled again by the countless gravitational vortices of Tianlun Palace and was moving towards destruction.

Even at that moment.

Matthew had many subtle and profound feelings in his heart.

But he still had to try his best to control the power, avoid the tearing area of ​​Tianlun Palace as much as possible, and try his best to find a way to escape.

As the angel of dusk said.

He could run by himself. After all, he was only a demigod now and was not completely bound to Paradise Lost. It would probably be fine if he ran faster.

But Matthew wanted to try again.

After much effort, he found Paradise Lost, and by some strange coincidence, he obtained the authority of the King of Gods, but he also experienced the terrifying Twilight Disaster.

He didn't want to give up so easily.

soon.

Matthew has figured out the most fundamental dilemma we are facing and two strategies to deal with it.

The real dilemma is...

The other four were all affected by the Dusk Catastrophe and were unable to provide mental, magical or other support for the authority of the God-King.

The more crucial point is.

The divine fire in their bodies became uncontrollable!
Although Matthew can control the flight trajectory of Paradise Lost.

But he couldn't control their divine fire.

The divine fire plays a vital role in Paradise Lost's journey to godhood!
This is also the fundamental reason why Matthew did not drive away any of the other four people after he gained power!

He needs their divine fire!

The divine fire inside Paradise Lost is the lever that pries the energy of the external fire.

Originally, all five of them were awake.

Matthew can leverage more than five times the current ascension power.

Not anymore.

With just the Gordon Fire in him, there's no way he could escape from Tianlun Palace.

Even if Tianlun Palace didn't fall now, he wouldn't be able to open it to a higher place!
"Then there are only two coping strategies."

"The first is to try every possible means to wake them up."

"The second way is to find a way to temporarily control their divine fire with my own strength!"

However, both strategies face extremely severe challenges.

Divine fire is a very domineering and exclusive super energy.

Gordon's Fire can dissipate some of the divine fire, but it is difficult to control them.

The authority of the God King actually has a certain degree of suppression and control over the divine fire of the other four families.

In its current state.

Matthew was confident that he could temporarily borrow the divine fire of one or two other people.

He definitely won’t be able to handle more.

But if one wants to escape from the lost area of ​​Tianlun Palace, the sacred fire of the other four people is indispensable!
Unless he totally doesn't want to live!
As for the first strategy...

Matthew glanced at the other four people who were still unconscious, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

The Twilight Bane is a very powerful anomaly.

What is scary about him is that he can subtly influence a person's body and mind.

Matthew is an experienced person.

He knew very well that when you are in the game, many things that were originally bizarre will become reasonable in your eyes.

most of the time.

To outsiders, it is a trap full of loopholes.

The authorities are unable to detect even the slightest sign of something being wrong!
Everything is so natural.

The most terrifying thing is.

When Matthew put himself in their shoes and imagined whether he would have a chance to change everything if the contents of the Twilight Disaster became reality.

The answer he gave in his heart was quite pessimistic!

"After all, the God King Matthew in my dream is actually the true projection of my soul!"

"Become a god, be wanton, debauched, twisted, and then greet the dusk..."

"This is almost an inevitable fate!"

That is the irreversible distortion of the individual's mind brought about by the infinitely expanding supernatural power.

The final outcome.

It is not subject to personal will, nor is it related to the individual's quality, morality or integrity.

When you have been around long enough and have enough power, you will gradually become desensitized to everything you are interested in. In order to prove your existence.

You will desperately seek out any possible excitement.

And this is precisely the beginning of loss of control and destruction.

It was at this moment.

Matthew once again expressed his deepest admiration for the greatness of Isabel and others.

The apparent madness of the divine mages.

In fact, it is the result of super self-discipline and high restraint.

Replace it with an ordinary person.

I’m afraid it will get even crazier!

Of course, this may also be related to the fact that the divine mages did not live long enough.

that moment.

Matthew controls the precarious Paradise Lost and escapes desperately on the edge of the slowly falling Tianlun Palace.

The constantly collapsing space gave him a new insight.

“So only short-lived people can understand the splendor of life itself.”

"As the immortals or the immortals grow older, the madness factor in their bodies will continue to accumulate, and they will eventually go on the path of self-destruction!"

"Humans, the kingdom of God, and even the planes are all like this..."

"In the multiverse, any life and existence actually possesses the element of self-destruction from the moment it is born."

"At the level of short-lived species, self-destruction means the exhaustion of lifespan and the coming of death."

"As for the immortal species, they will become more and more perverted and twisted as they live, and gradually self-destruct. If they are unable to or are still unconscious of self-destruction, then they will drag the entire world into destruction along with them!"

"This is the truth engraved at the bottom of life in the multiverse!"

"Every life has already written its future death at the moment of its birth!"

"Life is like this, and so are the planes, except that there is a beginning and an end..."

Matthew remembered what the Scourge Mage had said.

Perhaps she foresaw the destruction of the world and thought it was caused by the gods.

That’s why there was the Tianlun Palace Shengque.

But actually.

The destruction of the world has nothing to do with the gods; they are just an inevitable fuse.

If others were to gain eternal power and lifespan, it would eventually lead to disaster.

This is an inevitable fate.

because--

"Life is death."

Matthew's eyes gradually brightened.

that moment.

All areas in his body began to boil.

The balance between the oak and the undead was broken, then gradually sublimated, and finally merged into life and death.

The boundaries between these two major areas have also begun to expand continuously.

Between Matthew's rapidly surging thoughts and ideas.

The originally thin domain contract was instantly expanded to tens of thousands of words!

now.

All other areas within him were pushed aside.

Only life and death are expanding rapidly and squeezing each other.

The two major fields seem to be caught in an unprecedented competition.

In a violent collision.

Both areas have become extremely distorted.

There is a dynamic harmony between the distortion and the movement.

Matthew released the faint power of the God-King's authority.

The Minotaur Realm and the Balance Realm also expanded dramatically.

finally.

The two realms of life and death were coordinated in his body to an unprecedented degree.

And the previously precarious balance area.

Now it has become much bigger!

……

"Hint: You have a profound understanding of the mysteries and laws of life and death.

You have gained three abilities in the realm of life and three abilities in the realm of death, as well as an authority that is in the making!

You have completed a new round of equilibrium.

Your Balanced Field just got even more powerful!

Your domain ability "Spell Harmony" has been sublimated into "Supernatural Harmony"!
Supernatural Harmony: Now, you can use a certain supernatural energy of the same attribute to harmonize more similar supernatural energies from different camps! "

……

"Extraordinary harmony..."

"This is exactly what I needed, but not enough!"

Matthew clearly realized how dangerous it was to temper the divine fire.

He must go a step further on the path of balance!
boom!
A meteor flew past the edge of Paradise Lost and fell into the bottomless starry sky.

Matthew once again dodged the whirlpool-filled space.

A few seconds later.

He made a decisive decision.

……

“Hint: Do you want to mobilize the third divine quota and initiate a call on mortal creatures?
Inspired...”

……

Ten seconds later.

A familiar shadow appeared in the lower space of Paradise Lost.

Matthew looked down at the other party and said in the most resolute tone:
"Ser!"

"I'm giving you a chance to be my God!"

"Give me the Book of Balance in your hand!"

"You only have three seconds to think about it!"

The words fell.

The shadow knelt on one knee without hesitation:

"Respected Lord God Matthew!"

"I am willing to become your subordinate god and offer you the Sioux tribe's sacred artifact, the Book of Balance!"

In an instant.

A close bond was formed between Matthew and Sener.

The relationship between the two parties is established.

Since then.

Sener must be loyal to Matthew.

Matthew must also commit to protecting this man of God to the utmost!

And along with Sen'er's shadow he joined the team of God.

A brass book emitting a faint evil aura also emerged from the sacrificial passage that Matthew temporarily opened.

Just got the Book of Balance.

Matthew felt an impatient force surging into his body!
That is the supreme power in the field of balance!
That is the natural power of the artifact!
that moment.

The Sioux mark in his body was activated, and the Brass Book eagerly injected a steady stream of XP into Matthew's body!
at the same time.

The pages of the book were still shaking violently, and lines of black characters appeared on the title page that Matthew opened:
……

"Dear Messenger of Balance!
I finally waited for your arrival!

There is no dragon fire on the Great Wall, and the eternal flame under the underground palace has been extinguished for too long, so long that I thought the East Continent was doomed!
Please use me as you like!
My only wish is that one day I can return to that land and take another look at it..."

……

The light emanating from the Book of Balance illuminated Matthew's face.

Outside Paradise Lost.

The raging fire and the destructive scene made his face look a little distorted.

"The Twisted Book of Balance."

"The Book of Balance is supposed to be twisted..."

Matthew held the brass book in his hands, feeling the unique power, and his heart was filled with joy.

Only the Bringer of the Balance can unleash the true power of this artifact.

With it.

Only Matthew dared to control the other four divine fires at the same time!
With the help of the Book of Balance and a large XP injection.

Matthew's Balance Messenger career level rose to LV4 like a rocket!

Because it is a part-time job.

The level of the Harmony does not count towards the total level.

Its professional level is not high.

However, the existence of demigod status can greatly correct the level gap between part-time jobs and main jobs.

Matthew made an estimate.

Through the prying of demigod status.

A level 4 Balancer can produce an effect equivalent to that of a level 12 Balancer (two levels lower than the total level).

This improvement is undoubtedly very significant for Matthew.

more importantly.

Since life and death have achieved great harmony.

Matthew's legendary road has been completely opened.

Next.

He just needs to keep practicing!
"Now that life and death are taken care of, how far can nature and immortality be?"

Even though my heart was already pounding.

But the perilous scene of doomsday quickly drew Matthew's attention back to reality.

He walked quickly towards the other four.

present.

Matthew held the Book of Balance in one hand and the authority of the God-King in the other. He pointed one end of the authority toward the God of Travelers.

sizzle!
Balls of divine fire wrapped around the tip of power like poisonous snakes.

Matthew was doing three things at once, releasing Gordon's Fire, the Power of the God King, and extraordinary harmony at the same time!
However, even with so many forces mediating.

At the moment when Matthew's mental power came into contact with the divine fire.

He also felt unprecedented pain!
It is a pain that burns the soul!

It's unbearable.

Just a few seconds.

Although Matthew successfully absorbed the hundreds of divine fires from the God of Travelers, he himself was in so much pain that sweat broke out on his forehead!
"Don't be in a hurry, take your time..."

Matthew calmed himself.

It's right here.

He suddenly saw the little black cat, the incarnation of Dark Peggy, pick up a seemingly honest little loach from some corner!

"I knew you had bad intentions!"

"Still want to hide, huh?"

"Pretending to be a spirit, huh?"

The little black cat threw the little loach in front of Matthew, and then beat it up openly!
Matthew took a closer look.

This loach is much fatter than ordinary loaches and is about the size of a kitten.

This guy is quite prominent and looks quite impressive.

But in front of Peggy.

He seemed a little afraid, and just cringed and took the beating obediently, not daring to resist at all.

"He is the Phantom Dragon!"

The little black cat complained:

"It was this guy who pretended to be the spirit of Paradise Lost and deceived many people."

"Including that old elf man!"

"In fact, the tickets you received were automatically issued by Paradise Lost."

"This guy just knew who would get the tickets a few minutes in advance, and then jumped out to pretend to be a spirit..."

"This artifact will choose the most suitable candidate for the Lord God on its own, but this does not mean that it has self-awareness."

"According to my guess, this guy entered the Lost Paradise through the back door many years ago. He couldn't ignite the divine fire himself, so he planned to recruit a group of people to work for him, and then plunder the divine fruit at the right time and become the divine king himself!"

"Am I right?!"

The little black cat's claws kept whipping the already swollen face of the phantom dragon.

The latter lowered his head in panic.

I dare not say anything.

He looks like a very shy and socially anxious little guy!
"This guy has lived for thousands of years?"

Matthew was a little surprised.

The little black cat raised his paw:

"Probably so."

"Anyway, this guy has no good intentions."

Just at this time.

The little loach finally plucked up the courage:
"I just woke up..."

The little black cat glared at him:
"Do you know what's going on now?"

Huanlong nodded nervously.

"Why don't you come and help?"

"You can't let our Matthew suffer alone, right!?"

talking.

She picked up the phantom dragon and threw it towards the tip of the scepter that was surrounded by the Hundred Family Divine Fire and Gordon Fire.

The phantom dragon screamed.

But next second.

Its body surface was glowing with ochre-colored light.

Those divine fires entangled with the light, but were unable to burn it!

"I'll just say it!"

"This kid was roasted for hundreds of years by the Emperor of the Su tribe using a punishment similar to divine fire, and he was fine. A mere divine fire is no problem for him!"

The little black cat said proudly.

Then she paused:
"Why is there so much weird knowledge in my mind?"

"Is it possible that I am really the legendary Ancient God of Darkness?"

At this juncture.

Of course no one could answer her question.

Matthew weighed the power.

The phantom dragon swam obediently from the tip to the end.

He formed a khaki circle in the right place.

Matthew held on to the circle.

It was like holding onto a potholder.

The pain from the burning of the divine fire suddenly became much lighter.

He suddenly brightened up.

Then he opened the balance field to the maximum, and with the extraordinary power of harmony, he drew the divine fire from the remaining three families in one breath!
When it is.

Matthew, by himself, controls the five divine fires at the same time.

boom!
A roaring fire reignited at the bottom of Paradise Lost.

That abundant energy came so timely.

Matthew resisted the urge to roar.

next second.

He suddenly raised his authority high up and pointed to the highest point above the Tianlun Palace!

There.

This is the destination of Paradise Lost.

There.

This is where the new heaven is born!
