Chapter 862 The Truth in History

"I can probably guess that you would ask these questions."

Claire didn't look surprised by Anvis' question.

"As for your first question, I'm actually not sure how to define my existence."

As she spoke, she slowly walked forward a few steps, came to the edge of the terrace, and then turned back to face Avis, letting the silver-purple moonlight fall on her face.

"The first time I had such a thing as 'memories' was during the era of the high elves in this world. They initially called me Subject 24, until that day when the last high elf queen gave me the name 'Claire'.

But after that, as the last floating cities of the high elf civilization left, I was also split apart in the collision known as the 'Great Rip' and scattered into different time and space.

However, as fragments of "me", they naturally have the instinct to merge and become one. Even the endless distance of time and space cannot block this connection.

Since then, I have been on the road to finding myself.”

With her back to the endless and deep dark starry sky, the girl's words were ethereal and silent.

"You know, I once walked through the dark land of countless years ago and saw the first beasts crawling out of the sea and stepping onto the land.

I have also seen the rock cities of the snake people civilization and the marlstone altars built in the center of the steaming swamps. They fought each other under the extremely huge and scorching sun to please the snake god. In that ancient era when there were no humans, I looked up at the ancient starry sky that was completely different from the present.

After an unidentified amount of time had passed, I encountered the descending civilization of the stars.

After negotiating with them, they told me some of the changes in the future, and let my fragments sleep in their city, crossing the endless river of time until they gathered in this era. "

Under the hazy two-color moonlight, the blonde half-elf girl smiled slightly.

"Now, I can tell you that according to the definition of intelligent life in this world, I am Claire, an extraterritorial being that controls the power of thoughts and wishes."

"I see."

Listening to the girl's explanation, Avis' eyes flashed with surprise and understanding. He actually had some guesses about Claire's true identity.

In fact, after his own fragments were fully restored, even he could not see the girl's current strength clearly. "As for your second question, I can also answer you, but I think that is not what you really want to know."

Looking at the black-haired, black-eyed young man on the throne, Claire had a half-smile on her face.

"For high elves to break through to legend, they only need to make their own rules as close to 100% as possible, and eventually transform themselves into rule creatures.

Of course, this process carries a lot of risks. If you are not careful, you will completely integrate yourself into the rules and completely lose your independent self."

“…”

Avis sighed at Claire's sudden playfulness.

"So, how do the high elves achieve 100% synchronization of their own rules?"

"Of course, it's through hard training...Okay, I know what you want to ask."

Looking at the rare helpless look on Anvis' face, Claire seemed to have gained some kind of psychological satisfaction and showed a happy expression.

“In fact, the ninth-order high elves don’t need to make any special preparations. They can naturally coordinate their own rules to reach the 100% limit.

But this is not due to talent, but the current world rules themselves are flawed!"

As she spoke, Claire's expression became serious again.

"I know that human civilization has developed for so many years, and there should be more than one ninth-level person who has discovered the problem. You should also know about this, but the truth behind this actually involves the biggest secret in Unival's history."

In response to Avis's other question, Claire suddenly brought up another seemingly unrelated topic.

"Do you know the end of the goblin civilization? They disappeared in a very short time. They were not destroyed by natural disasters, but they revived briefly and descended on the main material plane.

Then, it devoured the entire goblin civilization, or "assimilated". The minimum requirement to resist this assimilation is to master the power of rules.

Unfortunately, I cannot name it in any form, except to refer to it as such, or else there will be big problems."

"so……"

Hearing this, Avis frowned instinctively.

He actually knew some information about the goblin civilization, such as the fact that the individuals in the goblin civilization were naturally weak.

"Unfortunately, due to the inherent weakness of individuals, although the goblin civilization has mastered powerful construction technology, it has never produced a ninth-level being that can master the power of rules on its own."

Claire nodded, confirming Anvis's guess.

"So, without a sound or a trace, all the goblins, from the goblin emperor on the throne, the goblin sage in the tower, to the ordinary goblin civilians, and even the hermits hiding deep underground.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

All the goblins, without exception, merged with 'it' in a very short time and became part of it."

"Then, 'it' disappeared as mysteriously as it appeared, leaving behind only the empty constructed cities. The traces of civilization that had lost maintenance were quickly covered by the power of nature, and the world returned to its original appearance.

You must be familiar with the subsequent history. That is the era of mankind, which walked out of the shadows of the caves where people ate raw meat and drank blood, grew stronger and stronger, conquered the environment, mastered power, defeated natural disasters, and finally established a glorious ancient magic empire.

Are you curious about how this ancient magic empire, which was so powerful that it even controlled nine floating cities at its peak, collapsed?

Yes, 'it', reappeared! However, humans did not disappear, not only because the ancient magic empire that controlled the floating city was more powerful than the goblin civilization, but also because of the existence of a 'god' created by a crazy alchemist.

The first sentence of the Holy Spirit Church’s “Grace” is this.

'Ancient foreign objects brought chaotic darkness, which devoured the people. In despair, people called on God, and God came with supreme light, driving away the darkness and foreign objects.'

The world-destroying disaster completed the last link of the madman's ascension ceremony, but due to the limitations of incomplete rules, he was unable to create a truly complete god.

But even so, it is enough to fight 'it' head-on in this world with a strict upper limit.

That is the 'Day of Destruction' in the history of the Gloria Empire, and the 'Day of Judgment' recorded by the Holy Light Church."

At this point, Claire sighed softly, her tone somewhat emotional.

"If it weren't for the limitations of the incomplete rules of this world, 'it' would not be stopped by your power.

Even a completely perfect 'God' would only be a more difficult object to assimilate when facing a truly perfect 'it'.

However, this world is actually a dueling arena, a dueling arena that is forced to achieve "fairness" through incomplete rules.

Then, in that war whose brutality could not be described in words, the strongest of mankind relied on the floating cities left behind by the high elves' civilization and the 'God', tried their best, and successfully delayed the moment when 'it' fell silent again.

With the sacrifice of most of the strongest, the world-destroying crisis was successfully resolved. Without the suppression and protection of the strongest, the remaining people split into multiple kingdoms and forces, which is the history of the continent that you have recorded. "
