Chapter 656

"Why on earth …"

Duke Delicacy, whose face was bruised and swollen, was tied up with Lady Tsurugan and thrown aside, muttered unwillingly, "I am obviously the descendant of Birbom, why is this happening …"

Unfortunately, except for Jasmine, who found a branch out of nowhere and squatted on the ground to poke the two of them from time to time, Xu Shenxing and the others' attention had long been elsewhere.

"The fun you're talking about is the situation where two amusing people think that they are blessed by the heavens, and after doing a lot of things, they find that even the premise is wrong?" Xu Shenxing asked a certain god.

"Yes, isn't it very interesting?" Charlotte nodded, "Observing the amusing behavior of human beings is one of the few pleasures I have left as the pinnacle of the gods."

"What a bad taste …"

Xu Shenxing's face was full of disagreement, "It feels like those evil gods in the myths who take pleasure in people."

"That's not the case. I didn't add fuel to the flames of those two people's behavior. I was just observing in secret. Everything was their own choice." Charlotte turned a blind eye to Xu Shenxing's helplessness and turned to look at Willer, who was somewhat at a loss, "Compared to this, it's almost time to get to the point."

For this little boy, what happened in the past two days was completely beyond his understanding.

Not to mention Countess Tsurugan and Duke Delicacy, even Lauren Claudian, who was a knight, was not someone a poor orphan like him could get close to in the past. After all, the difference in status between the two was too great.

In addition, in this non-fantasy world without supernatural powers, the solidification of the social classes cast by the times was almost impossible to break. If it weren't for the sudden appearance of Xu Shenxing and the others, perhaps this child would have been like this for the rest of his life.

"What?"

Seeing that Xu Shenxing and Charlotte's eyes were on him, Willer could not help but feel a little uneasy.

"I'm afraid they want you to open the door." At this time, Lauren Claudian seemed quite calm, "If you think about it carefully, it's very strange that they would bring you along. After all, I'm the only explorer who has reached the top of Amos, and Duke Delicacy is also a duke. In this way, I'm afraid the only reason they would bring you along is that you meet the necessary conditions to open the legendary garden of the gods. "

Alright, although the knight's conjecture was full of loopholes due to the disparity in the amount of information (Charlotte only brought him and Duke Delicacy because she thought it was fun), the final conclusion was unexpectedly correct.

"Willer, you might find it strange, but in fact, I'm afraid you're the person with the purest Beerbohm bloodline in this world."

Charlotte placed the Golden Apple on the snow in front of the boy and slowly explained to him.

In fact, when she said that, the boy did not find it difficult to understand. His father's generation was an ancient great sage, but the ancestors on his mother's side were very secretive and never spoke much about it. Combined with the small wooden box that hid Alan Beerbohm's will and belongings that were passed down from generation to generation, it was not surprising that he was really the descendant of the Supreme King.

But because of that, the boy suddenly felt a sense of resistance. Could it be that the person who had been so kind to him along the way was just borrowing his power to enter the legendary residence of the gods?

"The Golden Apple isn't the key to the door, it's the door itself … the real key is something else." Charlotte continued.

"Something else … Could it be!"

Willer remembered the sparrow-shaped candle in the box that had been passed down from generation to generation in his family.

At the same time, the feeling that he was being schemed against became even stronger.

"Don't worry. It's not nice to say it, but for certain reasons, we could open the Garden of Golden Apples with the Walking Cuckoo Candle even if we don't have Beerbohm's bloodline. The reason I'm letting you do it is to fulfill the promise we made centuries ago, and let two souls rest in peace! "

Charlotte persuaded softly, seemingly noticing Willer's resistance.

Indeed, if they only wanted to open the hidden space on Mount Amos, whether it was Xu Shenxing or Charlotte, as long as they obtained the Goddess Device, the difficulty would be greatly reduced.

But Charlotte didn't do it in the end. As a deity, her power was considerably suppressed in this world, but she still had considerable mysterious abilities such as being able to sense and faintly sense the intense longing humans placed on objects.

It was precisely because she sensed the longing of the founder of the Beerbohm Dynasty and a faint presence that she decided to have Willer, a descendant of Beerbohm, complete the ritual.

Perhaps it was difficult for ordinary words to move people who were stubborn, but Charlotte was different. Even though she was not in her complete form, when she was serious, her words were the words of God and possessed magical power. For a mortal like Willer, it was no different from a so-called severe warning.

"I, I know!" Hence, the little youth nodded and took out the candle from his backpack, but was left dumbfounded amidst the howling cold winds. "But how do we light a fire in this place?"

Not to mention the fact that there was no suitable kindling, even if there was, the extremely low temperature and the howling cold wind would extinguish the fire in a few seconds.

"Is there really a need to light a fire?"

Charlotte declined to comment and continued to ask in a gentle voice.

"Ah! Alan Beerbohm's last wish was … "

An idea flashed through Willer's mind. He stuffed the candle into his pocket and began digging on the ground with his hands that were covered in leather gloves.

Although the accumulated snow on the peak of the mountain was still 'snow', the long years of exposure to wind and rain had made it as solid as ice. Even when it was blasted by Madam Orchid the Crane's Jade Blast just now, there were only a few cracks. One could imagine how difficult it was to dig on such a thing with bare hands.

Not only that, but this was the peak of the mountain that was more than ten thousand meters above sea level. The thin air made people short of breath, and even the most insignificant movements would cause fatigue that was several times more than usual.

"Let me help."

Lauren Claudian was just about to give Willer a little help, but was stopped by Xu Shenxing who was instructed by Charlotte.

"After all, this isn't something that others can interfere with."

Hundreds of years ago, Alan Beerbohm failed to fulfill his promise with Zou Juan. His regret and longing before his death traversed through time and space, entrusting it to his descendant.

It was an obsession that belonged to him alone.

His hands were clearly numb, his breathing was clearly labored, and his body temperature was clearly being taken away by the cold wind.

However, Willer did not stop. He knelt on the ground and dug at the ground that was covered by ten thousand years of ice and snow.

In the end, he really dug out a small pit that was not much bigger than a palm!

But at this moment, Willer finally reached his limit. His entire body was like a robot with a power cut, and he collapsed in the snow.

"I can't fall asleep! Open your eyes. If you fall asleep in this place, you definitely won't wake up! "

Lauren Clautien shouted anxiously at the boy.

He wanted to help the boy up, but he was blocked by Xu Shenxing and the others.

In fact, Xu Shenxing was also sweating for the boy in his heart.

He had seen many strong-willed warriors, but those were, after all, trained adults. To be able to train themselves meant that they had experienced a long period of arduous training, and it was not surprising that they had a strong will.

But Willer was just an ordinary child who had no special experiences other than these two days. To be honest, it was not strange for him to give up here. After all, there were only a few people who could grit their teeth and break through their limits.

Just as Willer did not move for a long time, and even Charlotte was about to give up, the boy suddenly moved.

He did not seem to have the strength to support his body again. He just slowly and shakily put the Walking Cuckoo's Candle into the pit, and then weakly pushed the pile of ice that he had dug out back into the pit.

But it was enough.

The Golden Apple seemed to have turned on the vibration mode, and it shook violently.

The next moment, a blue beam of light spewed out of the Golden Apple and shot straight into the sky.

Then, white light burst out again and enveloped the entire top of Mount Amos.

At this moment, in the eyes of the people at the foot of the mountain and in the vicinity, Mount Amos had turned into a huge World Tree. The lonely peak that was originally towering into the clouds had now become a straight tree trunk. The huge white light that expanded and finally shone in the sky was like the crown of the tree. Countless golden light spots were like golden fruits flickering in it.

This scene was so shocking that one could imagine that even after a hundred or a thousand years, this scene would still be passed down in the form of a legend in this area.

And at this moment, in the white light, except for Charlotte, Xu Shenxing, and Jasmine, everyone else had disappeared. They were not dead, but they were isolated to another space.

No, in a sense, it should be Xu Shenxing and the others who were isolated to another space.

Because the place where they were now was undoubtedly the legendary Divine Kingdom, the Golden Apple Orchard!

"Thank you, sister."

In this white light that was full of a sense of holiness, a young girl slowly emerged.

She sat on the trunk of an apple tree and looked at Xu Shenxing and the others with a smile.

If Alan Beerbohm was still alive, he would probably be able to find that this young girl was exactly the same as the woman who appeared in the cuckoo cuckoo, except for the different hair color, which was golden.

"Thanks to all of you, the karma between my soul and this world has finally ended."

The so-called karma, in the words of immortal cultivation, was that there was still karma to be settled, and there was no way to leave this place in one piece. Only by ending the karma could one be free of worries.

"Compared to that, you actually didn't 'crash all over the world'?"

Xu Shenxing stared at her in surprise. "And here I thought that was the only place to find your divine core …"

"He's right. You're in such a weird state, Moridia." Charlotte sighed, though it was clear that she was in a good mood. "The entire world is filled with your scent, and thanks to that interference, I can't observe the essence of all things more precisely. Or rather, why is the entire world filled with your scent even though you're clearly not scattered all over the world?"

"This matter has to start from a long time ago … That's right, from when I transmigrated to this world."

Moridia had no intention of keeping Joshua in suspense, and very easily explained the reason. "Although you might not have noticed it, Mister Oravia, this world is a superior world that has already developed a 'World Consciousness'."

"I really didn't feel that …" Xu Shenxing scratched his face. Since he did not use any world-class combat ability, there was no feedback from the world itself.

Still, it was rare for a pure technological world to develop a consciousness.

"Then, when I transmigrated to this world, the 'World Consciousness' of this world was planning to wipe out all life in this world."

"Wha …?!"

It wasn't just Xu Shenxing — even Charlotte was shocked.

Generally speaking, the World Consciousness would not pay attention to the birth and development of life. After all, life itself was a part of the world.

Although there would occasionally be a world that specifically targeted a certain life or its population, causing it to go extinct, that was because the other party's development had begun to cause harm to the world itself.

A normal world that killed all life in one go did not exist.

"Has it been contaminated by the Great Devil Realm?"

Xu Shenxing thought about it. This was probably the only possibility for a similar situation. Only when the World Consciousness had been completely contaminated by the madness of the Great Devil Realm would it come up with the idea of eliminating all life.

"That's not the case. The World Consciousness of this world is quite healthy." Moridia shook her head and revealed the answer. "It's just 'afraid'."

"Afraid?" Charlotte tilted her head in confusion.

"I don't know much about the specific situation, but from the information I obtained after connecting to the World Consciousness with the 'Goddess Device – Juro', this world seems to think that in the near future, all worlds will be attacked and destroyed by the 'Apocalypse' … The reason why it wants to eliminate all life is because when there are no observers in this world, the existence of the world itself will become ambiguous, between reality and illusion. Only by doing so will there be a chance to avoid the attack of the Apocalypse and allow the world itself to continue to exist."

Moridia informed Xu Shenxing and the others of the information she had obtained.

Although it did not explain what the Apocalypse was, Xu Shenxing immediately thought of the [Era of Destruction].

"Then you … could it be …" Charlotte seemed to have thought of something and looked at Moridia with some surprise.

"Yes, I took over Juro's authority and constantly corrected the laws of this world that were distorted by the World Consciousness, so that life can avoid the end of destruction," Moridia replied with a bitter smile.

Therefore, as long as there was life in the vicinity of a planet, they would always be able to detect Moridia's presence. Because she had always been facing the malice of the entire universe alone, protecting all the creatures in this world.

Although it was not important to the gods, her current body had reached its limit. Even standing up and walking had become an extravagant hope.

"The same is true for the planet under your feet. It should have been engulfed and burned by the star next to it nearly a thousand years ago, but by constantly modifying the distance between the two, I have allowed this planet to linger on at death's door." Moridia looked a little dispirited. "If it was my sister, there would definitely be a better way. But this is already the limit of what I can do. "

Charlotte was silent. However, as the only god of many worlds, her status had actually surpassed the creation of the world. If she was independent from the world, she could drag her own world over to help and communicate with the world's consciousness. She might really be able to tame the other party.

But it was too late to say anything now.

"Originally, it was still fine with the help of the 'Goddess Device — Walking Cuckoo'. But a few hundred years ago, because of an accident, Walking Cuckoo was left in the human world. Because she had the ability to instantly reset the laws I modified, it was too dangerous. So I had no choice but to separate a strand of my divine soul to search for her. But under a lucky coincidence, my divine soul attached itself to Walking Cuckoo … Fortunately, although I couldn't retrieve Walking Cuckoo in time, I was able to lock down Walking Cuckoo's authority to prevent it from being used by others. "

"Then what do you plan to do now?"

Charlotte asked.

"I don't know," Moridia replied straightforwardly.

"Hey!" Charlotte staggered and almost fell.

"But, shouldn't we leave the problem to our Captain at this time?"

Moridia's gaze swept past Jasmine, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and then shifted to Xu Shenxing.

"Didn't our team disband a long time ago?"

Xu Shenxing scratched his head.

"It doesn't matter, in my sister's and my heart, Mr. Olavia, you will always be our Captain ~"

The young girl replied with a smile.

"Then this Captain's job is really troublesome …"

Xu Shenxing sighed. "Let's remove Zhu Luo's law modification, I also need to take a look at the situation."

"Do we really have to remove it? If we remove it, who knows, the next moment, this planet will directly collide with a star! Other life forms in other places will also die out in various ways … "

Speaking of this, Moridia's expression became serious.

"Then we'll only remove the one on this planet," Xu Shenxing said noncommittally. His gaze darkened, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. "After all, if the other party doesn't make a move, I won't be able to catch its fox tail, right?"

"Since it's your wish, then we'll do as you wish."

Moridia made her decision almost without any hesitation.

Thus, in the next moment, the inhabitants of this planet suddenly discovered that the temperature seemed to have risen by quite a bit, and the star in the sky that was translated as the sun had also become much larger.

"Jasmine, protect this planet!"

“wo~”

Jasmine obediently raised her hands high, and suddenly, an invisible barrier appeared on the periphery of this world.

Almost at the same time, the distortion of the world's will arrived. In just an instant, this planet was sent to the front of the star, and was captured by the star's gravity, slowly being pulled towards its surface which was over six thousand degrees Celsius!

But, just this instant was enough.

Xu Shenxing had already found the link to the world's will among the countless karmic ties!

Unknowingly, the Sacred Sword of the End, Roland Dur, had already appeared in Xu Shenxing's hands.

"As a world, what the hell are you afraid of!"

He swung the sword. This was not a sword of destruction, but a sword that simply cut open the surface of the world, exposing the hidden world's will — in the next moment, the entire world seemed to have stopped.

Fear, panic, fear … all sorts of emotions flowed into his heart through that sword strike. This was probably the world's will's fear of the apocalypse, or the [Era of Destruction].

"Counter soldiers with arms, water with earth. It's not easy to gain self-awareness, so it's normal to fear destruction, but if I mess up my own world for an illusory apocalypse, that's too stupid! "

Xu Shenxing raised Roland Dur high and shouted at the world rift that he had cut open. "Don't worry, I'll protect you. Isn't it just the [Era of Destruction]? Just wait and see how I deal with it!"

Then, he muttered softly, "That's right, it has to be dealt with eventually …"

The next moment, as if time had been reversed, the planet beneath their feet had returned to its original orbit.
