Hate Me, Miss Witch!

The starlight turned into a small boat, carrying Su Lun all the way down the river of time.

Then, back to reality.

After witnessing the smooth return of the black-haired girl, Xia Ya just turned his gaze to his side again.

This is the place where thousands of times meet.

Also, only those who have reached a certain threshold are qualified to reach it——

Where the "root" lies.

In other words, the place where everything originates.

Only here can Xia Ya clearly explore the truth hidden behind the endless fog in himself.

"Tell me what it is."

Char's words echoed in the place of origin, the flowing time.

It was as if he was speaking to himself in a place of nothingness.

But, the next moment.

"It's not a clone, it's not a chess piece, it's not a created carrier or container."

"You are me, no matter the difference."

"And what I am telling you now, you can understand it as a soul imprint left in your "origin" when you have not lost your memory, just like what the teacher once led you to do when you were in kindergarten. Activity……"

"It's like writing a letter to your future self, then burying the letter in a time capsule, and then opening the time capsule a few years later."

A strange yet familiar voice sounded in Xia Ya's ears.

Xia Ya knew that the difference was the difference between hearing his own voice and others hearing his own voice.

He nodded: "So, in my previous life, I was really the sun god and creator of this glorious era like you?"

"To be precise, it is not actually the past life and reincarnation... According to the pre-travel theory, reincarnation means that the same soul remains, but the body has been replaced."

"And your physical body is actually the original physical body. It was just forced back to the infant state when it was just born and has not experienced any training or growth."

"Or to put it in a more understandable way, "initialization"? "

"Of course, even if we have the same starting point, with the different growth and routes we experience, we will naturally go in completely different directions."

Char nodded.

"I understand, is there anything else you want to tell me?"

"If nothing goes wrong, I'll leave first. Su Lun is still waiting for me in the Fourth Age."

…

"You didn't even want to express your thoughts when you discovered that you were once the owner of the Seat of Heaven who was so radiant and praised throughout the ages, the Creator and Sun God of the Glory Era."

There was finally a hint of helplessness in those strange yet familiar words.

"Also, the fact that you can come to this place of origin without relying on divine help means that you have surpassed your former self."

"Of course, there is no need to play tricks like "I pray to the entire Hall of Valor, and the only person who responds to me is my past self." "

"Then, let me talk about it, just like what I said before traveling through time, and look at the dark history of my past."

The somewhat helpless voice paused slightly.

"There was a time traveler from the earth who came to a barbaric era."

"This world is full of races that just existed in mythology, dragons, elves, griffins, phoenixes, magic wolves..."

"In order to survive in this era where mythical species are everywhere, he went through many obstacles and hardships. He also hunted countless powerful mythical creatures and absorbed into their bodies the fragments of order and rules that were scattered when the world first opened. Take it for your own use.”

"In the end, he stood at the pinnacle of the mythical age, also on the so-called Throne of Heaven, and was called the Sun God, or the Creator by all spirits."

"And based on his experience before time travel and the appearance in his memory, he established a glorious era that was relatively peaceful and prosperous."

"However, the Sun God at that time did not expect that the authority and divinity contained in his body would lead to the risk of his soul leading to loss of control and madness..."

"The Cataclysm, now that you have arrived at the place of origin, you naturally already have a rough idea of ​​what happened."

"In short, the Sun God could no longer suppress the tendency of the devoured divinity and authority in his body to lose control... He could only be forced to disintegrate, and the Sun God's most core power of the sun was transformed into The law of pollution has made the sun the source of corruption and pollution for a very long time.”

Xia Ya nodded: "At least that guy who calls himself the Sun God has the same origin as me. He shouldn't be stupid enough to make no preparations until the disintegration."

"certainly."

The voice spoke.

"In the beginning, the way he came up with was to cut off the excess divinity and authority he possessed."

"Tear off those divinities that are not very important, but are quite tyrannical, have the most obvious tendency to lose control, and are pure and can only play a negative role, and only retain the more core parts."

"As time went by, the strength of the Sun God was actually growing. Even if only the most core part of the power was left, it was actually enough to secure the position of the Creator."

"It's just that this method didn't succeed -"

"Divinity seems to be a shortcut to improving strength, but in fact once it is contaminated, the fragments of authority will be entangled with your soul, making it extremely difficult to separate."

"It would be okay if it was just a single divinity and authority, but it would just take a little more time... But the divinity swallowed up by the Sun God at that time was really too much."

"So much so that an accident occurred during the process of stripping off. Not only the divinity and authority, but also a small part of my soul and spiritual body were also stripped off——"

"That small part of the spiritual body combined with the most crazy and disordered divinity and power has turned into an existence similar to inner demons and the dark side."

"Or to use the words before time travel... "Sun God.alter"? "

Xia Ya covered her face silently.

At first, he was eating the melon without having anything to do with it, but it wasn't until he heard the other party's last word that he finally felt like he was being slapped in the face by a dead black history.

"That thing is a bit tricky, because the mental body, soul, and memory are incomplete—"

"So that thing is always craving for pure souls to complete itself..."

"I've seen that thing."

Xia Ya interrupted the other party's statement, because it made him involuntarily recall the perverted old soul who said "I like you very much" and then drooled over him.

"really."

The voice revealed a tone that was indeed true.

"I'm just saying that if that guy still exists, you will definitely not be able to avoid being entangled."

"And since you can stand here now, it means that that guy has been killed by you."

The voice paused slightly and continued to speak.

"Although that attempt failed, it also gained something."

"Divinity and authority represent the laws of the world itself. This is indeed an extremely powerful force."

"There is nothing wrong with this kind of power itself."

"However, if there is not a strong enough soul that can freely control divinity and authority, then the soul will inevitably be affected by divinity, and eventually embark on the old path of out-of-control madness."

"The Sun God originally wanted to survive in that mythical era, so he impatiently accommodated too many divinities, leading to an irreversible path of disorder and madness."

"But, let's talk about it the other way around."

"If you can not rely on divinity, but rely on your own physical and mental strength, you can reach a point where you can rival demigods and true gods, and even touch the throne of heaven."

"Then, after you have a strong enough soul and body, you can then contain the divinity."

"Does it mean that you can reach that higher peak, a peak that even the creator of the past has never touched?"

"That is the peak that no living being has been able to reach since the birth of the multiverse."

"It is also the supreme throne that only exists in imagination."

"Above planes, above civilizations, above all gods——"

"The destiny is equivalent to the universe."

"Literally immortal."

Those slightly bewitching words slowly sounded in Xia Ya's ears.

"This is the last attempt made by the Sun God."

"Since the soul and spirit have been contaminated by divinity, they have fallen into a whirlpool of disorder and are difficult to escape."

"Then, let's simply take advantage of the cataclysm and the opportunity of complete disintegration to peel off all the impurities along with all the memories and power."

"Only the original body that dates back to infancy is left, and the memory of the moment of time traveled——"

"Then, in a new era when the Age of Gods has faded and the remaining gods are hiding in the star world, a new restart will be completed and the original path will be taken again."

The voice paused slightly.

"Of course, as a backup, the Sun God also left some gifts for himself after the restart."

"This kind of gift will exist in a way that the self can understand after losing its memory..."

"Such as the system, such as the game panel, such as the main god space, such as the grandpa in Najie... and so on, you should be able to understand what I am talking about."

"Also, even if all memories are lost, even if the body is restored to its original state as a baby, it is still the same person after all. After several epochs, the affinity with the long river of time still exists."

"Everything like this is for one day..."

"In those restarts again and again, a special individual can be born who has reached the level of legend without relying on divinity, surpassing demigods and surpassing true gods."

"Until he goes upstream in history, leaving his mark on each historical node, until he reaches the root, and takes back all the divinity and authority he once had."

"Then, arrive at the dreamy seat of heaven that no living being has ever touched."

"That is the real one. The so-called "Throne of Heaven", even the Sun God, has never really reached that level. "

"Such a restart has existed several times. For example, the Golden King Rhine, who created the Dawn Calendar, is one of the restarts."

"It's just a pity..."

"Even though they have left a great name in history, they have never truly reached the root and have the qualifications to ascend to the throne of heaven."

"And now-"

Even though it was just the soul mark engraved in his origin, Xia seemed to see the scorching gaze directed at him.

"The unbearable vacancy of the Heavenly Throne that has lasted for who knows how long is finally coming to an end."

"You have become the special case that we have been waiting for in those restarts."

"Accept the Star Cup and you will be able to recover all your lost memories."

"Then, fulfill the long-cherished wish that has lasted for tens of thousands of years, and surpass the limit that all living beings in the past and present have not been able to surpass."

"Become the master of that day's throne, the real big shot."

Hearing those familiar words with unspeakable temptation.

Xia Ya's eyes were still calm.

"I have two questions."

“Who invented the ‘Golden Dawn’? "

"It's not the Sun God of the first era, maybe it's the backhand left over from the subsequent reboots."

"What they want to do is actually nothing. They are just awakening the forgotten memories that were sleeping in your origin."

"Of course, their ceremony failed because of what happened just now."

"However, it actually doesn't make any difference."

The voice paused.

"With your own strength, you have also reached the place of origin."

"No ceremony is required. You only need to absorb the cup of stars, and then those memories sealed in your origin will be awakened again."

"And what is revived together with the memory is the power that you have inherited from the past restarts."

"These powers will turn into your food and help you ascend to the throne of that day."

"There is no need to worry about what kind of backhand this is or a conspiracy against you. You should know that this is your "origin" and the root that only you can reach. "

"I am you, you are me, there is no difference between us -"

"This is just a gift for my future self..."

"It's just a gift."

The familiar yet unfamiliar words settled.

Char was silent for a moment.

"No...what difference?"

He smiled.

"While causing my girl to almost die because of you, I also said that this is for your own good and is a pure gift."

"The Creator of the Age of Mythology?"

"You really have a high and mighty person who deserves the title of the Creator..."

"In that case, I think there is no need to ask the second question."

There was no hesitation or pause.

He turned around like this.

In that flowing time, with every step Xia Ya took, his figure became more illusory.

Char's height is falling.

From this point, the "place of origin" that defines the foundation of existence and delineates the innate directionality of all existence slowly falls towards the real material world.

Soon, the origin of the ripples of time became illusory and abnormal.

Correspondingly, the real material world becomes increasingly clear.

In Xia Ya's footsteps without any nostalgia, only the familiar yet unfamiliar voice continued to go away behind him.

"It seems——"

"You've made your choice."

…

The first era, the star realm.

In "Origin", the concept of time does not exist.

Because of this, no matter how long it took in Char's perception, in the eyes of everyone on the main material plane, it was just an insignificant moment.

To outsiders, Xia Ya just smiled, and then gently held the dazzling star cup in his hand, which attracted the attention of everyone around him.

At the intersection of thousands of sights, the atmosphere in the void almost condensed into ice.

All human legends, wizards, fallen mythical species...even the surviving true gods who were previously peacefully dormant in the star world are also casting their sights here at this moment.

The owner of every line of sight is waiting in silence.

Perhaps some people simply want to witness such a historic moment when a new Heavenly Throne is born and a new era is ushered in.

However, there are also strong people who are waiting for the moment when Char absorbs the Star Cup and sublimates his status again.

Char is very powerful and single-handedly ended the Age of Mythology.

However, even he would inevitably suffer some losses after cutting off the "God's Avoidance" that ruined the Age of Gods.

And once he begins to absorb the power of the Star Cup, at the moment when his status is promoted and his spirit and strength expand, there will inevitably be fleeting flaws.

Of course, even so, being an enemy of Char would be a near-death escape. His power reminded many ancient beings who had experienced that mythical era to think of the Creator who ruled the world in the Glory Era.

A majesty that suffocates the gods.

but--

It is the long-cherished wish of all gods to walk to the end of the road to perfection and reach the other side of the throne of heaven.

Abandoning the tribe, abandoning the family, abandoning the mortal emotions... At the end of that long time, all the things that had been cherished in the past and shone like brilliance had faded away.

All that remains is the desire to become stronger and to reach the highest level.

Other than that, there is nothing.

Therefore, no god would give up such an opportunity to achieve his only long-cherished wish.

The other side of the astral world.

The golden elf in black robe opened his closed left eye again.

In the dark sky, the magnificent blue fireworks began to dance slowly in her beautiful red-gold eyes again.

This is the "magic of the sky" that was considered the greatest taboo even in the Age of Gods.

Just now, with the full assistance of Hathaway using the secret fire of the goddess of magic, with the power of "magic of the sky"——

The "divine avoidance" that Char cut out, which could only rewrite the rules of a specific small area, was overwritten into the entire main material plane.

It can be said that he was one of the creators of Ragnarok, which brought the entire mythical era to an end.

However, such great power cannot come without a price.

Every time "Secret Fire of the Goddess of Magic" is activated, all it consumes is the power of Hathaway's soul.

The activation just now had already damaged her soul.

However, as an elf who has personally experienced the Age of Gods and knows the virtues of those so-called gods, Hathaway knows it very clearly.

Those survivors who are hiding in the star realm and have not died in the "divine escape" just now will definitely not give up like this.

Therefore, once those surviving gods in the star world break out and want to plot evil against Char.

Then what will greet them will be the anger of the goddess of magic.

Even though this will inevitably make Hathaway's already broken and exhausted soul worse.

…

It was frozen to the freezing point, where thousands of eyes converged, almost suffocating.

Xia slowly raised the dazzling star cup.

"Awakening the memories belonging to another person in the restarts."

"Do you get that gift from fate?"

"It's really an attractive proposal."

"but--"

Xia Ya's words paused slightly.

He knew that the soul mark did not deceive him.

That is indeed the "origin" of this body, this soul.

And once he absorbs the Cup of Stars, he can indeed regain the power of the past and receive the gift.

Contain the laws of this world and turn them into your own strength.

Then surpass the sun god and ascend to the supreme throne of heaven.

However, after recovering his memory, is he really still Char Egut?

The life that belongs to Char is not that long, it is just a short few decades.

Compared to the glorious people who marked their history in one era after another in the restarts, and the lives that often lasted for hundreds or thousands of years, the decades that Xia Ya experienced were just a drop in the ocean.

At that time, he will be the creator and sun god of the glorious era.

It will be the "Golden King" Rhine who ended the chaos at the end of the Third Age and opened up the Holy See of Dawn and the Holy Calendar.

However, it may not be Chara Eggut.

Of course, if this is the case, there is no solution.

Xia Ya has his own self-confidence... Even if there are huge memories in his mind that span thousands or tens of thousands of years, like a sea wave, he is sure to maintain his own self.

Then, find a way to cut off the memory part that does not belong to you, just like watching a movie, and make it independent without letting it interfere with the independence of your personality.

It was as if during the previous five hundred years of sleeping in the abyss, the remnant soul had not been able to successfully devour Char's self, but was instead killed by him.

Of course, if there had not been Su Lun's efforts to truly complete the coming ceremony of the Golden Dawn and revive the memories of the restarts in his own spirit...

I'm afraid that Xiaya will have to fall into a deep sleep again like that time when she fell into the abyss, spending a long time to maintain the spiritual world and consolidate herself.

The price of sleeping for hundreds or thousands of years in exchange for the power to ascend to the throne of heaven forever seems to be a good deal.

But--

Char looked around slowly.

His gaze was far away, as if he was looking at the bright and crystal star cup in his hand, but it seemed to fall to a more distant place, in the abyss of stars... where the hidden gods were.

These gods were once flesh and blood beings, and they were once the chosen ones of their respective races, radiant beings.

They may have also made a vow of protection to their own tribesmen, relatives and friends.

At the moment when I chose to embark on the road to becoming a god, I might have had some lofty ideals and a sincere original intention.

Their original intention of gaining power may be to protect their own tribe, make their tribe prosperous, and not be invaded and threatened by foreign tribes.

only.

During that long life, they gradually forgot their original hearts and their emotions when they were flesh and blood creatures.

Forgot the glorious ideals and sincere vows of the past.

What remains is the obsession to go further, achieve eternity, and ascend to the throne of heaven - becoming the only driving force for their actions.

Apart from that, there is nothing.

Such an unscrupulous figure is so sick and twisted.

Compared to the walking dead with only an empty body left, what's the difference?

If you forget your original intention, then you will become a big shot in the so-called multiverse, truly eternal—

What's the point?

Xia Ya turned around and looked not far away, at the golden elf with silver fire slowly dancing in his eyes.

"My most respected teacher, who is also my favorite Shi-chan, once said this when he led me to complete my arcane enlightenment."

"Ambition is what drives wizards to keep moving forward."

"I totally agree with that."

"It begins when the first humble mortal looks up in the wasteland and looks up at the bright starry sky."

"Because of the ambition for unknown territories and the desire for the truth in the world..."

"That's why there are wizards who regard "searching for the truth deep in the stars" as a dogma. "

"That's why people can overcome thorns and move forward steadily."

"From snowfields to deserts, from the most steep mountains to the endless abyss of the sea, and even the abyss of the universe, there are human footprints all over it."

"I am also a mortal, and I also have my own desires and ambitions——"

"If it weren't for this, then I wouldn't have been chosen by Shi-chan in the first place, let alone meet so many different people later on, which is something I can't forget."

"On the original Black Tower Square, I could meet that golden elf and become her only disciple."

"This is probably one of the luckiest things in my life."

"only--"

The beating stars in Xia Ya's eyes calmed down little by little, and she came to Hathaway's side.

Then, with her somewhat surprised eyes, he held her hand.

The golden elf's hands were cold, soft and white.

Xia Ya chuckled.

He looked into the eyes of the golden elf in front of him and spoke word by word.

"No matter how big the sea of ​​stars is, it has an end."

"And ambition never ends."

"I will use my own way to conquer the boundless sea of ​​stars and explore the most profound truths and mysteries in the depths of the universe."

"But at the same time, what I care about more -"

"It's the feeling of looking at the scenery during the journey."

"Also, the person who accompanied me to see the scenery..."

Shayana's slender fingers moved slightly.

next moment.

Click.

At the intersection of thousands of sights.

The cup of stars carries the life-long wishes of countless gods, is desired by all spirits, and represents an opportunity to reach heaven in one step.

In this way, a clearly visible crack appeared.

Then, one thousandth of a breath later.

The rift expanded rapidly.

The omnipotent wishing machine, the key to the throne of heaven——

The "Star Cup" shattered.

In this way, it turned into thousands of crystal fragments.

Like a rain of cherry blossoms falling in spring, they scattered towards the dark star realm.
