Northeast of what used to be Daniela, in the dense forest near the seaside, the underground entrance to the bottom of the world was located in the forest.
In the middle of the dense forest, there was a lonely little town that was deserted.
Looking from above, the town was like an irregular yellow spot in the dense sea of trees that was like a green ocean, clearly visible.
There was no one in the town, surrounded by dense vines and grass. From afar, the buildings in the town looked like they were covered in a layer of green mucus, some even flowed down the eaves.
As he walked closer, he saw countless dense green moss and vines. Hanging down from the eaves were some long green vines with leaves.
Garon was dressed in black, walking slowly in the town.
This was once the entrance to the underground world, countless totem users came in and out, forming a prosperous town for trading and resources.
Now, it was just a barren ruin.
He walked slowly along the town's streets, in the dense bushes on the streets, there was a slight movement from time to time, as if something small ran past quickly.
The gloomy sky was covered with clouds, as if it could rain at any time.
Garon looked up at the sky, with both hands in his pockets, walking slowly to the left side of a house with some tattered cloth hanging on it.
There was something written on the big red banner, but it couldn't be seen clearly, a few unknown black crawling insects were slowly crawling on it.
The house was still in good condition, but the doors and windows were all broken.
Garon casually pushed open half of the door, and walked into the house.
A strong smell of mold entered his nose, the house was dark, and the ground was covered in green moss.
He had been in this town for three days, and didn't find anything, but he still didn't leave this place.
He had indeed found the entrance to the underground, but it was a pity that the entrance had long been completely blocked. After digging for more than a day without any results, he gave up.
After wandering around the town for a few days, Garon didn't know what he was looking forward to, but he had a feeling that he was waiting for something, waiting for someone. If that person was still alive.
Three days, in one more day, he would leave this place. That was his plan.
Standing in the moldy house, Garon stood at the door, looking up at the sky outside, his heart calm.
Rumble …
The low sound of thunder came from the sky, and the sky was getting darker.
"It's going to rain …" Garon muttered unconsciously, in this place where no one had set foot, he seemed to be talking to himself. But it also seemed like he was talking to someone else.
"Yes, it's going to rain …"
Suddenly, the same voice came from behind him.
Garon was slightly stunned, and turned around. In the darkness of the house, a huge figure slowly appeared.
It was a gray-brown mantis two meters tall.
A huge mantis dressed in human clothes. It stood in the darkness, with only its head, calmly looking at Garon.
"Garon, it's me."
Garen's gaze froze as he recognized this voice. Although the voice was old and weak, it was exactly the same as that familiar voice from back then.
"God King …"
This was the Divine God Palace Master that they had experienced together in the Shadow Ruins.
Whoosh ….
The heavy rain poured down in an instant.
When he came back to his senses, the man and the mantis were already sitting side by side under the eaves outside the house, looking at the pouring rain less than a meter in front of them.
The world seemed to be completely immersed in the heavy rain, and nothing could be seen clearly. Only this house was the only shelter.
"I knew you would come." The mantis whispered. "Since the power of the totem began to dissipate, I knew."
Garon looked at the rain and did not speak.
"It's a new era now." The mantis seemed to show a smile. "It's a miracle that I, a creature of the old era, can hold on to this point."
"What about your subordinates? Where did they all go? "Garon asked in a low voice.
"They? Most of them became ordinary beasts, and more of them died of old age. "The mantis replied flatly." You know, many creatures don't have long lifespans. "
"If you also break through, can you continue to live like me?" Garon asked lightly.
"I don't know." The mantis slowly raised its scythe arm with difficulty, and gently scratched its mouth, just like a real mantis. "Actually, I was about to die a few months ago. But my premonition told me that some old friends might come. "
"So you persevered until now?"
"Yes." The Divine Palace Master looked at the rain, without any fear of impending death, only calmness.
"Do you have anything you want to say to me?" Garon was silent for a moment.
"What do you want to say?" The mantis shook its head. "These years, I went to many places, many, many places … looking for all the traces of the old era. I saw a lot, and experienced a lot. But when the Cthulhu King died right in front of me, my heart suddenly felt empty. "
The tattered red curtain hung down on the right side of the two, swaying in the wind, making light flapping sounds.
"That feeling of being the only one in the whole world is so uncomfortable … There are people everywhere, but not one of them is the same as me." The mantis grinned.
Garon did not reply, and only looked at it quietly.
The sky darkened, and time passed by minute by minute.
In the rain, a man and a mantis were chatting casually. They talked about the various encounters they had in the ruins, their most painful experiences, their proudest achievements, and all kinds of interesting things from childhood to adulthood.
At this moment, the two were like best friends who talked about everything. Most of the time, it was the mantis talking, and Garon listening.
The wind got stronger, the rain got lighter, and the mantis's voice got softer.
By the time the rain stopped completely, Mantis no longer had any signs of life. It lay quietly beside Garen, its body already stiff and cold.
"Tomorrow might be a good day again." Garon did not look at the mantis, and only looked at the sky calmly. "Unfortunately, it has nothing to do with you and me."
He patted his clothes, and stood up. The mantis's corpse had already begun to disintegrate, silently turning into something like black ashes, and was blown away by the wind.
"Now I'm the only one left …" Garon laughed self-deprecatingly.
He rolled up his sleeve, and the clear mark on his forearm was still there, and gently pressed on it.
His surroundings instantly turned dark.
After a moment, it suddenly lit up again.
He was still standing at the door of the house, and the vermilion banner was stiff beside him. A few falling leaves were fixed in the air to his right, and a few drops of rain from the eaves were about to hit the grass, but they could no longer fall.
Everything in the world seemed to have stopped at this moment.
Garon looked around, and the sky was full of those silver rings hanging in the void. The huge rings shook slightly from time to time, and then silently began to collapse and scatter, turning into countless metal fragments.
After the old rings collapsed, new ones slowly appeared, but they could not keep up with the rate of collapse.
Garon did not look at the entire inner world, and just reached out his hand, and an ice-blue water mirror like halberd appeared in his hand.
Chi!
The bottom of the halberd stabbed into the ground, and was stuck upside down.
"Is he here?"
A deep man's voice came from the forest in front of Garon.
"Child?" Garon looked up, and the reaction of the mark confirmed that he did not recognize the wrong person.
The old man who walked out of the forest in front of him was the child of the past.
He was so old that he didn't look like a man in his sixties at all. Instead, he looked more like an old monster who had lived for hundreds of years. His face was full of wrinkles, and his skin was like the best tree bark, covered with fine black spots.
He was dressed in gray cloth clothes, and leaned on an old wooden staff, and walked out of the forest so naturally.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time." The child stopped in front of the forest with the staff, and looked at Garon.
"How did this happen?" Garon walked over and stood in front of the child. "Why did the totem power disappear?"
"This is a trace of an image I left in the mark." The child did not care about Garon at all, and said his own words. "The real me and the others had already died thirty-two years after that battle," Su Chen said with a smile.
He paused. "If you could wake up at the end and see this, then you might be lucky. This image can only last for 30 years. "
Garon shut his mouth. He had already noticed that although the child's eyes were looking at him, his pupils were not focused at all, and seemed to be looking through him, at the things behind him.
"The world is collapsing. The totem power is collapsing. "The child said in a low voice," This is the result of our research. Because I was the youngest, I lasted until the end. But soon, all supernatural beings will be expelled by the Door to Heaven, including me. "
"Expelled?" Garon was stunned.
"That's right, you didn't hear wrong." The child nodded, "The Door to Heaven is not an inanimate object. During the Battle of Heaven, it felt threatened, and so the totem power began to be extinguished. All supernatural powers are beginning to vanish. "
"Only a Form 6 that has truly broken free from the shackles, and the totem power's control, may be able to completely break free from the influence of the Door to Heaven."
Garon listened to the child's explanation quietly.
"But, in a world without totem power, even a Form 6 would not be able to touch the Door to Heaven."
Garon nodded subconsciously.
The totem power was indeed a unique power that only existed in this world, and after removing the totem power, there would be no environmental enhancement. Even if a Form 6 Living Secret Technique was completed, and formed a highly condensed soul seed, it would at most be equivalent to a Form 4 totem's power.
But even so, in a world without supernatural powers, his power was already an absolute invincible existence.
"Be careful, the Door to Heaven will not let you go, it will do everything it can to expel you." The child left the last sentence in a low voice, and his entire body gradually became transparent, disappearing from the spot.
"Be careful …"
The last sentence was still slowly echoing, and Garon finally came back from his thoughts.
"The Door to Heaven …"
It was unknown when that familiar huge door of white light had appeared in the sky.
On the door frame, there were countless moving mountains, rivers, and birds, as if they were miniature worlds, extremely real.
Beams of white light shot down like light pillars, passing through the silver rings that were slowly collapsing, and landed on Garon's body.
A huge, complex thought, as if countless creatures were mixed together, rushed into Garon's mind.
"Leave … Leave … Leave …"
"Leave …"
"Leave …"
The repeated thoughts kept attacking Garon's mental defenses, as if countless people were constantly roaring in his ears.
This mixed thought had no consciousness, as if it was just the will of countless creatures mixed together. It was a hazy and chaotic will.
Garon seemed to hear the entire world, animals, humans, fish, birds, all the will of life, all converging into a huge flood, surrounding him.
At this moment, he felt as if he was the last cancer in this world, and the whole world seemed to be desperately trying to expel the existence of this cancer.
In the dark sky, only a pure white light pillar enveloped Garon, descending from the sky, as if it was a staircase to heaven.
Garon smiled slightly.
This world actually had a will like the Door to Heaven, and he could clearly recall the previous world, the environment of Earth and the Secret Technique World, there was no such existence. Perhaps there was, but he did not discover it.
The universe was really mysterious.
"If possible, I want to return to where I came from." He softly transmitted his thoughts. If the Door to Heaven had a consciousness, perhaps …
Soon, a scene that surprised him appeared.
In his mind, the memory of when he first came to this world suddenly appeared.
