Chapter 34 The Peacekeepers
The world is galaxy, unknown to the void.
"This world is full of powerful chaotic energy... but it is far from being an evil god. It seems that even if there is civilization inside, it will only develop to the primitive tribal era."
A surging holy light flashed through the chaotic turbulent flow of time and space, and then slowly condensed into a gathering of countless colorful bubbles mixed together. Under the illumination of the holy light, an old white-haired man stood in the void with a resolute blonde knight.
"Well... did you die by fighting for the fires in the gathering? The insect clusters released toxins to each other, causing the compounds to mix, creating a piece of acid steam with low ignition points and high concentrations. The acid mist was directly ignited by the sunlight, resulting in a huge explosion. In addition, there are also reasons why the corpses were not processed in time, causing abnormal infectious diseases to spread."
The old man narrowed his eyes slightly. He seemed to be able to cross the world barrier and directly see the situation inside the world. He murmured in a low voice: "It is the large-scale self-destruction phenomenon caused by the civil war of insect-like civilizations. The level of civilization has developed to the point where large underground nests can be built."
“Purify.”
Said this, the old man raised his hand and descended the holy light from the air.
The endless brilliance penetrated the world barrier in an instant. The three-color golden, white and gray light columns swept across every part of the internal world like three suns, from mountains to ocean floors, from continental shelf to basins, all areas that once had an ecological circle, but are now infected by chaos have been completely illuminated and purified.
The blonde knight stood behind the old man. He watched his adoptive father purify the world, then connected to the sacrificial ground of all worlds, and asked to go to the next possible life world. He was silent.
The turbulence of time and space stirred up, and they appeared in another world.
"This world has not been completely infected by chaos, but the ecosystem has been severely damaged... The chemical weapon war has caused the atmosphere to be completely poisoned, and civilized individuals can only carry anti-virus and survival equipment to move outside. The chaos energy has not yet condensed into an entity, but it is already very large. It seems that I must lower my incarnation to clear it."
The old man sighed, a little light flowed out of him and sank into the world. He shook his head with some regret: "The civilizations in this world have developed... the satellite technology mentioned by Joshua? They can immediately colonize the moon and even build floating cities... But the mother of civilization has been completely damaged. Even after the end of the world, it will take a long time for them to rebuild civilization."
It can be seen that it is like a lizard, but looks more slender and light. The creatures with wing membranes between their hands and feet are wearing strange life suits, walking carefully among the ruins of the city filled with poisonous gas and acids, collecting some materials and facilities that can be used as much as possible. Their current gathering place is on the top of some building debris, and there are some residual large floating cities, which are located at a high altitude, with cleaner air and barely able to live, but the floating city has no source of resources and is a sourceless water.
Another time and space teleportation.
Teleportation is not always saved, nor is it possible to encounter civilizations every time. The journey between the old man and the knight is long and boring. They just keep putting out the fire and constantly destroying the already formed chaos. In just a few days, they witnessed the demise and destruction of dozens of civilizations. They have never discovered these civilizations before, because they have not shown the value of being discovered and communicative. They are the unformed fire seeds, quietly lurking, waiting for the moment when light blooms in the void in the future.
But now, everything has lost its meaning.
"Lorlanda, what do you think."
Finally, on a blue planet world, the old pope watched the light human form he incarnated in the void and defeated the evil incarnation like a ball of light, solving the civilization on this planet from the unprecedented social riot. He did not turn his head, but just asked in a low voice: "Do you understand the power of this 'unknown evil god'?"
"Father, I understand."
The adopted son of the Seven Gods Pope Eagle, Paladin Lorenda, lowered his head respectfully and replied seriously: "But I don't understand some things now... After witnessing that the poison of Chaos can actually affect so many worlds, I was shocked in anger, but unexpectedly had some other thoughts."
Upon hearing this, Eagle nodded slightly and said, "This is the purpose of me bringing you here... Let's say it."
After obtaining permission, Loranda turned his head and looked at the blue world that had gradually returned to peace, and said softly: "I have traveled on the continent of Mycrov, helping the people everywhere, solving problems, and eliminating cults. Because of your teaching, I do not intend to stay on the Holy Mountain to practice hard and be a strong ascetic who has no benefit to the world except strength."
"I have traveled far south and wandered around the West Mountain. I have helped countless people and punished many evil people... I have seen many love, hate, and many thrilling things. Of course, I have also seen some of the ugliest things in this world."
"In the small town around the mountains, young women always disappeared inexplicably, sometimes they were the second daughter of the blacksmith's family, sometimes they were the daughter of the ordinary farmer's family. Their disappearance is naturally a big bad thing for their family, but for the entire city, it is just an insignificant little news... Of course, I naturally would not sit idly by at that time. I traced the clues, ruled out the admonitions and warnings of many local officials and nobles, and retrieved all the missing women... Some of them were only part of them."
"If you are lucky, you are sold as a slave and can be rescued intact. If you are unlucky, you will be sold to the black magician as experimental material, or an illegal vampire or a wealthy noble who has abuse, hand erotic, and necrophilia. In that case, it would be good to have a complete human form, and most of them are fragmented even if they are corpses."
The old pope listened silently, and he had traveled the world like this and said nothing. Loranda continued to say lightly: "Of course, not only women are abducted and sold, but some little boys or babies are also stolen... Part of them are sold to other infertile families as offspring. This is the best luck, at least they can have a complete life, but at most, such children will become dead soldiers of some families, experimental tools, or their tongues are cut off and some limbs are cut off, and they are used as begging tools in big cities."
"There are many possibilities, and I don't list them one by one. Of course, these are actually not important, at least for civilization."
As he said this, the Paladin raised his head, his tone was not angry, but only a very cold calm: "These are all small things... Father, there are many bigger things, such as collusion between officials and businessmen, exploiting the bottom of the class, such as cutting corners from the dam, causing the downstream of the river to be completely submerged, causing tens of thousands of people to be killed, and more than one hundred thousand people are displaced... The king was corrupt, officials closed his eyes, and the nobles did whatever they wanted in his territory. This kind of thing would not be improved with the advancement of technology. A few days ago, a king of Xishan showed me his pet maid and used people like animals. I failed to kill this kind of thing. It is because I knew that these are legal and reasonable things for the society they lived in. I cannot force the ignorant natives to abide by etiquette because of my noble morality."
"You can kill him." The old pope couldn't refuse: "Of course, you have to know what consequences your actions will have. But Loranda, what do you want to say?"
"What I want to say is that contradictions, disputes, ugly things, resentment between people, and sorrow that is deposited in the deep society are all normal things. As long as we have not reached the realm of the Guangyao Era back then, these bad roots will never disappear. But even in the Guangyao Era, are there no similar contradictions? What does this kind of dispute have to do with the evil god?"
The Paladin raised his head, his tone as firm as iron: "I don't think at all that these disputes were induced by evil gods - because this is the bitter fruit of malice hidden in people's hearts. If it does not explode now, it will also explode in the future."
"But in fact, the destruction of these civilizations is caused by the chaos disturbance of the 'unknown evil god'."
Eagle did not reveal much emotion about his adopted son's words. He simply pointed out what the other party said was wrong: "Without an unknown evil god, the contradictions of these civilizations may be covered up and dissolved by the social progress brought about by technological progress. Just like after our Mycrov civilization obtained the integrated information database, due to the rapid development of technology, many contradictions have disappeared - at least not the day when it broke out."
This is also the reason why the Mycrov civilization has not been called a contradiction of crisis until now. If a mu of land is less than 100 kilograms, farmers cannot survive after paying taxes, which will naturally induce contradictions. However, if technological progress is made and a mu of land is three or four hundred kilograms, then the farmers will at least not starve to death after paying taxes, and the contradictions will naturally be suppressed.
Regarding the contradiction pointed out by Eagle, Loranda just smiled calmly: "Father, I mean, at least the 'dispute' itself was not born by the evil gods. Disputes existed, and the demise of these civilizations was very reasonable. Except that they would be transformed into chaos after death, everything was as expected."
"The power of this evil god does not create disputes at all. If it has a name, it will definitely not be 'disputes' and 'contradictions'. At least there must be an evil god who creates them out of thin air to be called an evil god of disputes and a conflicting evil god."
This argument is very clear and also conforms to Eagle's previous speculation, so he nodded and signaled Lorenda to continue.
"Father, I have joined forces with Count Radcliff to explore another world before. I often contact him. He often said that the existence of civilization itself is not something that is 'necessarily'. Any civilization has the possibility of collapse at any time. This is the largest 'social experiment' jointly carried out by all intelligent life with instincts. Everyone crosses the river by feeling the stones, and they don't know what ditches are ahead."
"Even a shining civilization will usher in destruction, and the great era may not be perfect. Since civilization is not 'eternal', it will inevitably usher in an 'end'. And the reason for the end is good. If it can be destroyed, it will inevitably be destroyed by its reasons."
"The essence of this unknown evil god is to make civilization and even all things move towards the 'self-end'. It can be called [End Evil God] [Destroy Evil God], of course..."
Speaking of this, Loranda breathed a sigh of relief, and he whispered: "You can also call it [death]."
"Father."
The paladin paused and sighed: "I want to protect the world of Mycrov and my hometown - I just want to protect this world. But to be honest, after seeing the power of this evil god, I was really scared, even more afraid than when I first looked at the arrival of the evil god of natural disasters."
"When sadness continues to accumulate in the abyss, one day it will be fermented into the bitter fruit of death by despair... So many civilizations are destroyed to provide power for this unknown evil god. Even if the world of Mycrov can support it now, we will definitely not be able to survive in the future. Only by protecting one world will we be unable to protect this world. Only by caring about the galaxy can we protect peace in the area."
Hearing this, Eagle finally had a little expression and he smiled.
Loranda continued, and he raised his hand and pointed to the blue world beneath him. Under the world barrier, chaos dissipated, and the human form of light returned victoriously: "People may be isolated islands, but this is not the case between civilizations. They are extinct, and we are like losing our lips and teeth. Even if I am a selfish person who only wants to protect our own world, I must do my best to help other civilizations now."
Speaking of this, the Paladin also laughed: "My strength is enough to suppress some weaker worlds. Father, I don't want to follow you anymore. I want to carry out the mission alone."
"Go and remember your true heart."
Eagle didn't say much, he just turned around and patted Lorlanda on the shoulder: "But I thought you would need to settle for a few more years to understand so clearly... Lorlanda, your progress is great, far beyond my imagination."
"That's because I stood behind you, father, Count Radcliff... the people who move forward are so fast, and naturally the people who follow behind dare not slacken."
Loranda began to apply for teleportation authority for the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice Field. Of course, because he is not a legendary powerhouse, there will be a certain delay. However, during this period, he can still say a few words to Igeldo. The Paladin sighed a little: "The so-called hero is not a charge alone, but can make people muster the courage to fight and move forward together."
Eagle looked at his disciple and adopted son. He touched his beard and whispered in a plane: "What do you mean is Joshua a hero in your eyes?"
"Of course not, father."
Lorlanda smiled and said, "Earl Radcliff is not a hero - he is a flag."
“He is the banner of our time.”
A flag that was raised ten years ago and floated in the strong wind.
"It's just that he doesn't know and doesn't care... The flag is moving forward at the forefront, and the hero follows closely. Our civilization is all heading in the direction he guides because of him - Joshua may not have realized this at all, but in fact, even father, aren't you also being guided by him involuntarily? Just like this time, suppressing chaos intrusion through the sacrificial ground of the Ten Thousand Worlds, he is also walking in the forefront."
"Haha, he's always decisive."
The old man couldn't help laughing softly, he touched his beard again and said calmly: "So Lorlanda, what do you think you are and what do you want to be in the future?"
At this time, Lolanda's body was covered by the teleportation array stolen from the sacrificial ground in the Ten Thousand Worlds. He was in the virtual state before teleportation. Regarding his adoptive father's problem, the Paladin naturally said: "I want to be a hero."
"Since it cannot be a flag."
"Then become the person who follows the banner, the closest one."
