Salvation equals death

【...Hey, dear, although I don't want to disturb your rest, it's time for you to wake up, and the people from Lantern Moth and Black Lion are chasing after you. 】

Vera, who was soaking in the sea water, slowly opened her eyes. She had been floating on the sea for an unknown amount of time, and now she could see the vast water waves all around her, and she couldn't tell the direction when she came.

She felt a strange touch on her arm, as if something was pressing against her.Vera turned her head slightly, but found a young dolphin struggling to hit her arm, pushing her stubbornly.

"... When is it?" Vera casually touched the warm and smooth body of the dolphin, and was splashed with water all over her face by the flick of the dolphin's tail. She said with a confused expression, "How long has it been?"

[Five days, I almost thought you were going to turn into a water plant in the sea. 】The system couldn't help complaining about her, 【Why don't you clean up quickly?The power system in your body is now in a mess, it's almost impossible to see. 】

What the system said is true, Vera's body has already had the potential to be close to a demigod after several times of "rupture-repair-rerupture" torture, but still the same sentence, gods are all self-respecting big pigs, theirs Inheritance itself carries a very unstable force.Normal people who want to inherit one of them still need to go through various trials before they can be recognized. How can it be like Vera has merged three at once?

"This is... the legendary Godhead?" With the help of the system, Vera opened her inner vision, and saw the transparent spar wrapped in her soul emitting a soft golden light.

Vera can't remember what happened these days. She only remembers that after waking up, she was full of mania to destroy everything and kill everything. She even almost attacked Jiang Ming, who had always been taking good care of her. With reason, Vera reluctantly controlled herself to jump into the sea, so as not to do anything irreversible after her power went berserk.

The ability of the Skystone is to create ideal fluids. The result of using this ability in reality is to control wind or water. All flowing things are within the scope of the wind god.

[Yeah, the light and the spiritual inheritance joined forces to suppress the storm inheritance. After merging with each other, it became what it is now. The light is less aggressive, and the soul is less dark. I don't know what they have become. 】

The sound of the system was a bit gloating: [However, you were right to escape in time, otherwise the ability of the Mind Stone would be leaked and run amok, which would probably cause the people around to commit suicide in despair, and in serious cases, fall into brain death on the spot It's all normal.You also hit the sea in a wrong way. Even if you run away with your abilities, there is nothing around you that can harm you. 】

Mind - This is a very subtle existence, it is an organ of living beings and the dividing line between animals and plants.

The mind is a life field, which interacts with other organs in the form of fields, and it is also a huge energy field, which transforms the energy available for operation through the human digestive system.

It is not a human mind, nor is it a human heart, it is not even a tangible thing, but this energy field actually exists and affects all samsara operations of life.

The field of life affects a person's temperament, desire, instinct and emotion, and it even affects a person's aura and luck and how he feels about the outside world.

[In more straightforward words, the ability of the Mind Stone is to affect the consciousness, emotions, and five senses of a creature, and even tamper with a person's memory. 】

The system shared the information it possessed: [For humans, the lethality is powerful and even difficult to guard against, but for animals that only live on instinct, the lethality is drastically reduced, and it cannot be used by natural sages like the Firmament Stone. Stones generally deal damage to surroundings. 】

[Now, the three Philosopher's Stones in your body are in the stage of fusion, and may eventually give birth to a godhead that is completely your own.Although I don't know the specific reason, but...it's not a bad thing after all. 】

The words of the system are mixed. In fact, it has been paying close attention to Vera, and it knows very well that the reason why these three inheritances can integrate with each other is because Guangming chose to compromise.

Light itself does not like dark things, it expels the malice and negative emotions in the Mind Stone, and takes the part belonging to the "Holy Light" as its own authority.

Afterwards, with the help of the soaring power of swallowing the holy light, the light wiped away the faint consciousness in the firmament stone, and took the opponent's power as its own.

None of these situations escaped the detection of the system, and it instantly understood who Alex was who gave Vera this inheritance, but it chose to remain silent, because this was indeed not a bad thing for the host.

Although that person has returned to his position, judging from this matter, he still dotes on Vera very much.

... Otherwise, if it were another god, such a greedy and half-hearted heir would probably be beaten to death.

[Okay, I still want to remind you that your time is running out. 】

"Is there anything in the deep sea that can change the lifeline of the world?" Vera asked by manipulating the current to lead herself to the deep sea.

[Yes, as I said, the law will always leave a glimmer of life for the world, it depends on whether humans can grasp it. 】

Vera dived deeper and deeper, and the surrounding sea water turned into thick black, but she let the cold sea water wrap herself, and dived in a deeper direction.

【Here we are. 】Vera didn't remember how long she had been sinking, and being protected by the system's energy shield, she couldn't feel the depth of the sea pressure. She could only feel that she had come to a place that might be very close to the center of the earth.

A light shines in front of Vera's eyes. In the deep blue underwater world, a city like a pearl in a shell lies quietly on the bottom of the sea, exuding a soft moonlight-like glow.

In this dark deep-sea world where light cannot reach, the cold light in this city illuminates the sea area with a radius of hundreds of miles.

[Mariana Trench, 6000 meters under the sea, a lost pre-civilized city, Greece calls it Tartaros, China calls it Guixu, Sumer calls it Apus, whatever you want to call it. 】

Vera was gently pushed by the sea water, getting closer and closer to the mysterious city, and finally landed silently in the ruins.

"...The seabed is 6000 meters, but within the range covered by the protective cover, it can move and breathe freely..." Vera swiped the sea water, sighing at this pinnacle of technology.

[This is the lost ancient city of the highest civilization, let alone moving and breathing, you can live comfortably in it as you want. 】The system couldn't help curling its lips, feeling that the host underestimated the once brilliant pre-civilization.

【This is a self-contained and isolated city. Food and daily necessities can be obtained by converting seawater. Its energy protection has not been exhausted until today after ten thousand years. 】

The system proudly introduces the culture it represents: [Moreover, the energy of this city comes from the particle sea, which is the gate of time and space that can go to parallel planes, the Sea of ​​Dirac, have you heard of it? 】

"The Sea of ​​Dirac?" Vera shook her head blankly, "I know that there is a soul imprint representing a heroic spirit in the magic pattern named 'Dirac'."

[Well, that's right, because he discovered the Sea of ​​Dirac and named it after this—the so-called "Sea of ​​Dirac" is the gap between worlds, a magical dimension that exists in parallel universes . 】

[Everything in the world is composed of quanta. If you have to explain it, the sea of ​​Dirac is the gap between the cups. The quantum overflowing from each world will flow into this gap to form a space that is nothing but exists. , the negative-energy particle sea formed by the zero-point energy of the quantum vacuum, where there is matter, there is a Dirac sea, and the universe that humans imagine and observe seems to be floating on its surface. 】

[To put it simply, this is the door to open different time and space. 】

The system is rambling on about the greatness of the relics of the former civilization, but Vera has already landed firmly on this land of lost civilization.

Even though it has been nearly ten thousand years since the present, it has been eroded by wind and rain, but the glorious scene of the past can still be vaguely seen among the ruined walls, and I can't help but sigh in my heart.

[Only by standing on the shoulders of giants, can you know how brilliant a plane will be when it develops to the extreme. The promises I made to you are not exaggerated, and the greatness of pre-civilizations is not in vain. 】

[Vera, find the insight vortex in Tartarus leading to the sea of ​​Dirac, and then pour magic into this city, it will build a ladder tower for you, and help you restore the lifeblood of this world's collapse. 】

The system is persuasive, like a paihuazi who kidnaps children with candy: [As long as you save the world, you will gain more beliefs, even if it is only gratitude, you will become your potential believers, then...]

"That kind of thing doesn't matter anymore." Vera lightly touched a stone pillar carved with unknown characters, and closed her eyes tiredly, "I didn't do this to survive."

【…】The system kept silent, and it seemed a bit superfluous to say anything about this sacrifice that was destined to be offered to the world.

The system considers itself to be an emotionless silicon-based life, and an existence that should be like a scum in the world will occasionally develop a feeling of compassion for the host, let alone others.

It's really hard to live.

So the system sincerely comforted: [Be happy, host, I promise you will die beautifully.At least most people will not forget you for decades. 】

Vera thought for a moment and felt that she was not happy.

Under the instructions of the system, she quickly found the core of the city, but after all, it was a long time ago. Even if Vera instilled all the magic energy in the Philosopher's Stone, it would not be enough to restart the city.

After experiencing the risk of inheritance integration, Vera was already at the end of her strength, and after exhausting the last bit of strength, she could only stop in a daze, and sat down against the wall with a blank expression.

Vera felt a little cold, perhaps because the temperature in the deep sea was too bone-chilling, or perhaps because the power to maintain body temperature had already been exhausted.Somewhat inappropriately, she thought of her short but long past life.

The painful experience of draining blood makes her heart ache when she thinks about it, but in Vera's memory, she is more afraid of the cold of life passing than the pain.

She didn't really want to die, although she didn't want to live that much either.

It's also the feeling of coldness, and Vera can't tell whether it's the unbearable coldness when a person walks alone, or the icy coldness that dries up the last drop of blood when she is dying is more unforgettable.

"System... I'm a little sleepy, let's sleep for a while."

After Vera finished speaking, she curled up and fell asleep without waiting for the system to answer.She hugged her unconscious legs, as if this would warm herself up.

Vera could feel her consciousness sinking into the darkness, and a light emerged from the darkness, wrapping her gently in it, and then leading her down, down...until she settled into the deepest part of her consciousness.

Then the system saw that Vera, who had promised to go to sleep, suddenly opened her eyes.

The pure and tired tea-gold eyes were covered with thick scarlet, like half-dried dirty blood, the color composed of countless black and red threads, exuding a demonic and chaotic horror.

[…] The whole system crashed for three full seconds before screaming, [Fuck who are you! 】

"Me?" The hoarse and magnetic voice sounded, and there was a bit of charm on the immature face, "I am the one whose body was taken away by you, system—system—"

The system felt chilly for a while, then remembered something, and calmed down instantly: 【Oh, it's you, you're not dead yet? 】

【Fasilia Kirupa. 】
