From seeing it

Satana shook his head and said, "No, strictly speaking, there is only one son of an era in each era. However, in this fifth era, obviously something went wrong and was changed by man-made power."

"Originally speaking, in the fifth era, there is only Shi Yu, a son of the era. Then, when the era ends, he will grow into a new cosmic tree as the seed of the sixth era, but..."

At this point, Satana paused for a moment before continuing: "This Shi Yu broke this rule."

"Shi Yu broke the rules?"

Satan hummed, and said: "In principle, this fifth era should have been destroyed long ago, and all races in the universe will perish, but this Shi Yu chose the opposite path in order to keep human beings from being destroyed. , he sacrificed himself, using his own life energy as a nutrient, to continue the universe tree that should have rotted and collapsed long ago, delaying the destruction of this era."

Xiao Ling was shocked when he heard this.

This legendary figure among human beings actually sacrificed himself to feed the universe tree with his own life energy? To prevent it from completely collapsing, so that human beings and even all races in the universe can continue?

Seeing Xiao Ling's shocked appearance, Satana was not surprised, sighed and said: "His choice, not to mention you humans, even I admire it very much, at least if it were me, it might not be able to do it." .”

Xiao Ling took a deep breath, and then said: "If all this is true, the self-sacrifice of this senior Shi Yu can only last for a period of time in the universe, but in the end his life energy is exhausted, and the time and space of the universe and all races , will eventually perish.”

"Yes, so this Shi Yu has arranged some backhands before. For example, he chose a successor among human beings, that is Xiao Han, the second son of the era."

When Xiao Ling heard this, he understood a little bit, but the shock in his heart was even worse, and he said after a while: "According to the original rules, every era will eventually have a son of the era born, and this son of the era will end it himself. Everything, the son of the era, represents the destruction and end, and also represents the rebirth of the next era..."

Satan nodded and sighed: "Yes, but when he came to Shi Yu, he changed this rule with his own hands. He sacrificed himself, used himself as nourishment, provided for the universe tree to continue to survive, and even chose the next son of the era. As long as the children of this era grow up fully and continue to provide nutrition to the universe tree, if this continues, this era can be barely maintained, and it will not collapse completely."

"In this way, it is equivalent to sacrificing the son of the era, can you keep the safety of the entire universe?" Xiao Ling felt a deep chill in his heart. He thought of the great heavenly sage who said that Xiao Han once broke into the forbidden area of ​​God's domain, but then Missing, could it be that Xiao Han, as the second son of the era after Shi Yu, also sacrificed himself? Become the nutrient for the continuation of the universe tree?

Satan said: "Yes, only in this way can the destruction of the universe be temporarily delayed, because the children of the era, as the seeds of the next generation of the cosmic tree, contain the most powerful life energy in the universe, and each child of the era can make the universe The Cosmic Tree will live for another hundred years."

"Sacrificing a son of the era, can it last for a hundred years?" Xiao Ling shook his head and said, "This is like a drop in the bucket, and it can't really solve the problem at all. What about Xiao Han? Did he really sacrifice himself like Shi Yu?"

Satan took a smile and said: "So even if this Shi Yu is wiser than the sky, and his means are as good as the sky, it can't be considered as popular. Although Xiao Han is the second son of the era, his thoughts are different from Shi Yu's. Not the same."

Xiao Ling's heart moved, and he said, "Senior, have you met Xiao Han? What did he say?"

Satan said: "Yes, I have seen him. A few years before you came here, he broke into the God's Domain, killed several gods of my family, and broke into the forbidden area of ​​the God's Domain."

Xiao Ling said: "When the senior saw him, he should have told him what he told me today."

Satan nodded and said, "Yes."

Xiao Ling asked curiously, "What is he thinking?"

Satan showed a hint of admiration in his eyes, and said: "This Xiao Han is indeed the son of the second generation of era selected by Shi Yu. He is not only talented, but also has a good chance. He has won a silver heart. It is this heart of silver that hides a big secret left by the gold gods."

Xiao Ling moved slightly in his heart: "He told you what is the secret left by the golden gods?"

Satan said: "He only said that it was related to the departure of the golden gods from this universe, that is to say... mastering this secret, it is possible to walk out of this universe..."

Xiao Ling was full of curiosity about Xiao Han's whereabouts, and said, "Then what about him now, where did he go?"

Satan said with some envy: "After he told us this secret, he followed the footsteps of the golden gods and left this universe. He believed that there must be a solution to the end of the era outside the universe."

"Get out of this universe?" Xiao Ling murmured: "Isn't that what you said, awakening the eighth consciousness, entering the realm of immortality, transcending the era, transcending the ruler of the universe? What do you mean, Xiao Han has mastered the big secret left by the golden gods, and has reached the realm of dominance beyond everything?"

Satan said: "Maybe, maybe not. In short, I couldn't see through him at that time. That was my goal for nearly an era. Unfortunately... I am not a child of the era. I don't have such great luck. After all, it is a breakthrough." No."

Xiao Ling thought for a while, and then said: "This universe is about to end, if you go out of the universe, you may be able to find a solution to the demise of this universe. Since Xiao Han has mastered the secrets of the golden gods, maybe there is a solution. "

Satana shook his head and said: "That's hard to say, even if he really becomes the master who can transcend the universe, it doesn't mean that he can think of a way to save the universe. You know, the first golden gods walked out of the universe, but the golden gods The era is still over."

Xiao Ling took a deep breath, feeling a little envious and fascinated in his heart. Originally, he thought that Xiao Han had just surpassed the gods, at most reached the same level as Satana, and became the supreme god of the peak level. Only now did he know that he had mastered The way the golden gods walked out of this universe is very likely to take this ultimate step and become the dominant existence of the universe beyond the era.

At that point, even if the entire universe is destroyed, it can't be hurt at all, and it can be regarded as a truly immortal existence.

"If you can't find a way to save this universe even if you step outside the universe, can you just sit back and watch this universe be destroyed?" Xiao Ling thought that Xiao Han was the second son of the era after Shi Yu, but Xiao Han Obviously, he was not willing to adopt Shi Yu's method of self-sacrifice, but chose to go out of the universe and find a new method outside the universe.

Satan said: "No, Shi Yu made another preparation before self-sacrifice."

Xiao Ling's eyes lit up slightly and said: "Shi Yu has arranged a backhand?"

"Yes, and it's related to you?" At this point, Satana looked at Xiao Ling. Xiao Ling was slightly startled, and was about to ask again, but saw that Satana had already walked forward.

Xiao Ling felt a strange feeling in his heart, and instead of asking, he followed him to the front.

The two of them didn't speak any more after that, and after walking for an unknown amount of time, Satana finally stopped. In front of the two of them, a huge and incomparably vortex appeared. The incomparable roots are like giant dragons coiling in the air.

Satan hovered in the air with his figure, stepped in the air, and walked towards the roots of each root.

Xiao Ling also followed behind him, knowing that he brought him here must have a deep meaning, maybe it has something to do with Shi Yu's backhand.

It's just why he said that the backhand arranged by Shi Yu has something to do with him?

Could it be that like Xiao Han, he was chosen by Shi Yu?

If this is the case, then Shi Yu's cultivation is so terrifying that it can be counted as something that happened several years later? After all, when Shi Yu died, he should have been far from being born.

Now Xiao Ling is already the cultivation base of the supreme god, and with the black giant arm, he is an extremely powerful existence among the supreme gods, but even so, he can't deduce what will happen a few years later, let alone arrange What's behind.

The two walked into the roots of each root, and kept going down. Soon, Xiao Ling found a figure faintly visible among these roots, and a familiar feeling suddenly surged in his heart.

This feeling was very strange, and it made his heart ache suddenly and inexplicably. It seemed that he was about to meet a dear relative.

As it continued to approach, finally, Satana in front of him stopped, then bowed, and saluted the figure that appeared among the roots.

Xiao Ling followed behind, dumbstruck, then took a deep breath, and suddenly understood.

Between these roots, there is a person lying. Some small roots grow from this person, and then extend to those thick roots in all directions. There is an endless supply of energy, which is coming from these small roots. From the roots, it moistens the thick roots around it.

The lying person was motionless and dead, but his body still contained powerful energy, which was being continuously absorbed.

This person looks exactly like Xiao Ling.

"Shi Yu..." Xiao Ling understood that this was Shi Yu's corpse. He sacrificed himself as Satana said, using his body to nourish the rotting universe tree that was about to collapse. Life sustains the operation of the entire universe.

Shi Yu's sacrifice extended the lifespan of the universe for a hundred years and delayed the end of the Fifth Epoch by a hundred years.

So Satana would salute his dead body.

Before, it was just Satan talking about it. Although Xiao Ling was moved, it was still not as shocking as what he saw with his own eyes now.

After paying a salute, Satan said: "Shi Yu sacrificed himself to extend the life of this universe for a hundred years, but the hundred years are coming soon, the decay of the universe tree is accelerating, and the energy in Shi Yu's body will soon be exhausted. It's all over..."

Xiao Ling said: "Didn't you say that Shi Yu still has a backup?"

"Yes, although he chose Xiao Han as the son of the second era, Shi Yu may have considered that there may be changes, so...he has other arrangements besides Xiao Han."

"This second arrangement is..."

Satana paused for a moment before saying: "Before Shi Yu died, he left behind a bit of spiritual knowledge. This bit of spiritual knowledge will be reincarnated and Shi Yu will come back to life again."

Xiao Ling's heart trembled slightly, his eyes suddenly enlarged and he said, "Then why did you say it was about me?" A thought came to his mind, looking at Shi Yu's corpse that was exactly like his own, his whole body trembled slightly.

"Seeing that Shi Yu looks exactly like you, Xiao Ling, don't you understand? You are the reincarnation of Shi Yu's spiritual knowledge, you... are Shi Yu."

Every word that Satan took said sounded like thunder in Xiao Ling's mind, causing his head to buzz, and then he fell back one after another.

"This...how is it possible..." Xiao Ling shook his head continuously, showing an expression of disbelief.

Satan said: "That's just the spiritual consciousness in your body, which hasn't been recovered yet. Once it recovers, you will recover all the memories about Shi Yu, and your past and present lives will be completely clear. It's true that you can come here. Did you think it was a coincidence? In fact, all of this is guided by fate."

"The meaning of my existence is to tell you all of this." Satana finally showed a smile when he said this, and his expression became peaceful.

Xiao Ling touched his own face, and then looked at Shi Yu's corpse in front of him. This identical face, the familiarity of his close relatives, made him believe that everything Satan said was true.

Shi Yu was his previous life, he was born with a little spiritual consciousness before Shi Yu died, and he was Shi Yu's rebirth, but for a while, he had some difficulty accepting this truth.

"There is no doubt, you are Shi Yu. It's just that the spiritual consciousness has not yet awakened, but the day of awakening is getting closer and closer, because the universe tree is close to the verge of complete collapse."

Xiao Ling looked at Satana in front of him, and suddenly said: "Could it be that you want me to succeed Shi Yu, sacrifice myself, and continue to use my body as nutrients to nourish the universe tree?"

Although Xiao Ling admired Shi Yu's greatness, when it came to himself, he couldn't achieve such a greatness. If Satana really had such an idea, he would definitely not agree.

Satan shook his head and said, "No, you said it too. This method will treat the symptoms but not the root cause. It is hard to become a son of the era, but it can barely last for a hundred years. Shi Yu has arranged two backers, one is Xiao Han, one is you, and it is not for you to continue to sacrifice for him, because he sacrificed himself at that time only because time was tight and he had no choice, but he sacrificed himself in exchange for a hundred years of time, and with this time , there are more options to choose from.”
