Chapter 593 Cicadas’ Food Sharing Ceremony



In the Twin Palace, the Dark Snake Twins did not leave for some reason, but sat aside and watched the Trickster.

Igula thought they were waiting for the latest research results, so he didn't say anything and just lowered his head to examine the information.

After studying for many days, he was able to understand some terms by comparing the context, and thus interpret more experimental data. But there was still some information that he could understand but felt was too fantastical.

He paced back and forth between the blackboards and suddenly asked, "Have you ever encountered the 'Gift from the Void'?"

The Dark Snake Twins responded immediately: "What exactly does the gift from the Void Realm refer to?"

"To put it simply, when you are in the virtual world or in reality, creatures from the virtual world will suddenly appear to help you." Igula looked at the information in his hand, "For example, bronze dragons, resentful dragons, etc...."

The Dark Snake Twins shook their heads. "Why would a creature from the Void Realm help a magician? Don't they fight when they meet?"

"These experimental data mentioned that some magicians are born with the ability to resonate with the virtual world," Igula said. "In addition to being able to show amazing talents in specific magic factions, some virtual creatures even regard them as fellow tribesmen, pets, and partners, and often give them gifts. Moreover, these virtual creatures are of extremely high status, and their intelligence is basically equivalent to that of magicians. They are definitely not comparable to edible toys for infants and young children such as the fish-slaying dragon..."

Harvey turned his head to look at Alice, who also turned her head to look at him. Then he stretched out his hand, and Alice opened her mouth and bit all four fingers. The necromancer looked at the trickster, with subtle doubt in his eyes.

When Igula saw this scene, he naturally understood what message Harvey's silent performance was conveying. In fact, the necromancer said that it didn't matter that a mentally retarded virtual creature wore his corpse suit. The dark snake twins had four eyes, and the black crow didn't need eyes. It seemed that no one would notice it.

However, Iguerra was not interested in Xavi's talent. It was enough for him to prove that the experimental data was not a randomly made-up game setting.

"Many of the magicians in the laboratory are geniuses with this talent." Igula lightly recounted the brutal hunting hundreds of years ago. "They are also the original twin experimental subjects. Nightfall has superimposed their talents to the limit through repeated overlaps of fate."

The Dark Snake Twins couldn't help but feel a little strange when they heard this: "Why do you do this?"

"Because when the talent reaches its limit, the magician can resonate with the wonders of the virtual world." Igula said: "It doesn't say where this conclusion comes from. Maybe the knowledge comes from a higher existence... In short, the core concept of the twin experiment is to create life that can resonate passionately with the wonders of the virtual world."

"So what if I can resonate with the wonders of the virtual world?" The Dark Snake Twins still couldn't understand, "Is it easier to find wonders in the virtual world?"

"more than."

Igula's tone gradually became more excited, and his whole body glowed with a strange spirit. His pupils reflected the words on the information, and his sickly and pale face showed a bright red color, which made the Dark Snake Twins almost unable to hear clearly what he said. "Although I don't understand the principle at all, the trials under the abyss can allow the trial-taker to accumulate time talent continuously!"

"If what is said here is true, then we just need to start the Divine Fire Trial, activate the twin systems, and then put in a group of people to consume each other, and then we can get-"

Click.

As if an ancient fossil had peeled off, the black crow slightly raised its head, and its cervical vertebrae made a slight but clear sound, like the harsh sound of sharpening a knife, or the dull sound of a trigger.

Igula turned his head and glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, and continued: "Those who complete all the trials will gain the ultimate time talent in a short period of time, and resonate with the corresponding virtual wonders, so that their gates of truth can directly connect to the wonders themselves!"

The wonders of the virtual world corresponding to the time talent...

Except for Black Crow, the magicians immediately realized how shocking this plan was. No wonder Igula was so excited. Even though this was just a legacy from hundreds of years ago, as a fraudster, how could he not be moved by the grand gestures of his predecessors?

"They want to deceive the virtual world and guide the Golden River into reality!" Igula turned his head and looked at the closed abyss, recalling a random sentence that appeared in the data:

"Reality and fantasy embrace each other, and myths will be born in it."

“Is it time?”

"This is different from what we agreed on!"

"I'm going to kill them when I get out!"

"It seems that fate is playing a joke on me again..."

After all, Weisser is a magician who travels alone in the sea of ​​knowledge. Although the appearance of the Golden River is enough to occupy all her thinking resources, her body instincts are enough to maintain her body shape in the turbulent river.

Because Ash bumped into her, he subconsciously hugged Weisser's waist before being washed away. Although he was kicked away by Weisser immediately, he also got a brief chance to catch his breath and barely resisted the rush of the Golden River.

At the same time, those legends of the past that had been buried in the statues for a long time were resurrected one after another from the Golden River!

The young female magician, whose eyes turned into clocks, strolled leisurely in the Golden River, as if unaffected by the scouring: "Where are the people from Fang Yuanchan?"

"Stop making noise, Skadi." Another orc warlock growled, "Obviously something went wrong in other links. Nightfall failed to wake us up as planned... Meisi, do you have a way to contact them?"

"No, and there's no need." Meis said, "This experiment is meant to imitate the mother's womb in an absolutely closed environment, to achieve the effect of prenatal education through killing memories, and thus to nurture the talent of time. I can't have any way to contact the outside world... But I guarantee that if something really happens, the outside world will definitely be much more nervous than us. The people who want us to succeed the most are Fang Yuanchan and his people."

At this point, the faces of the legends changed, and they all realized a possibility. They looked at the two strangers who were fighting against the countercurrent in the distance and asked, "Are you new here? What happened outside?"

Weisser subconsciously glanced at Ash, only to find that Ash was also looking at her. Although Silver Lantern was not a good person, these strange legends were not likely to be good people either. Just like when negotiating, Ash would let Igula take charge. Now facing these unknown units, Ash decided to give the right to speak to Silver Lantern to prevent himself from making mistakes.

Weisser's mind raced, and he said slowly, "This year is 1668."

"It's been so long!?"

"Impossible, the longest estimate at the time was only 10 years!"

"Two hundred years... wouldn't that mean a lot of wonderful entertainment works have been created?"

"The Gray Fox Age of Gods should have passed, right?" Scarlett asked, "What Age of Gods is out there now? What is the Dafa philosophy? Why are you here?"

Weisser was wearing a mask, so naturally she didn't reveal her expression, but Ash's face looked subtly unhappy.

Legendary magicians are all shrewd people. Seeing this, the handsome middle-aged uncle Mei Si immediately said, "Skadi, they are not your disciples or students. They have no obligation to disclose information to you. Even if they are only in the Holy Land, who here can use their magic spirit?"

Ash and Weisser were shocked. Why did Meis know that they were not legendary? Obviously, everyone here was a legendary magician, so they should subconsciously regard them as the same kind!

However, the others did not react to Meis's words. It was obvious that they also saw that Ashweiser was the worst among the trial-takers. This situation could only prove one thing: even without using any means, the legendary magician could easily see the highest faction realm of others!

No wonder the sorceress Scarlett was so arrogant. Legends really didn't need to be polite to the Holy Land, just like Ash never greeted the Fish Slayer. Mei specially pointed this out, and was also implicitly warning them - anyone here could crush you to death after leaving.

Weisser was silent for a moment: "I'll ask a question, and you guys ask a question."

"Then you ask first," said Scarlett.

The question itself was enough to give away their true colors. It was almost instinctive for the legendary magician to play tricks on people. Weisser had no choice but to ask, "What was your original plan?"

The legends in Liujin River looked at each other, and many of them changed their expressions drastically. They had guessed that the situation outside was completely different from what they knew. After all, the "two hundred years of gap" and "ignorant Sanctuary Trialists" both showed that the people in charge of the experiment were no longer the ones they knew.

Scarlett closed her clock eyes, and her aggressive face softened. She said, "To answer this question, we must first explain who we are and why we are here. So you asked three questions, and you will also answer three questions later."

Is it really impossible to play word games with a legendary magician? Weisser and Ash looked at each other and nodded, "Okay."

"We are legendary magicians who are about to die." Scarlett said, "It could be half a year at best or ten days at worst. We can accurately estimate the day when our souls will be extinguished."

"In the last days of waiting to die, we received an invitation from the secret sect 'Fangyuan Cicada' to participate in their immortality experiment." She said softly: "Before me, almost all Gray Fox Legends participated in this experiment. After me, there will be no exception."

“No matter how great a life is, it cannot resist the fear of death. The instinct of life is so ugly yet so hard to defy.”

"The Fangyuan Cicada Sect privately created the Divine Fire System, and combined with their experimental results over hundreds of years, they successfully helped us condense the ultimate time talent, and the Gate of Truth directly reaches the Flowing Gold River. But the number of magicians is not enough. At least 42 legendary magicians must be gathered to start the Cicada Singing and Eating Ceremony. So we have been sealed in the statue, waiting for the Cicada Singing and Eating Ceremony to begin."

Ash frowned, "The Cicada-Sharing Ceremony?"

However, Scarlett very accurately interrupted the passage and asked, "It's our turn to ask questions - which great god is outside?"

Weisser shook her head: "Outside is not in the Age of Gods."

"It happens to be the interval between the generations of gods?"

"Could it be that the Fifth Age of Gods has already passed? But in just two hundred years, it is indeed possible..."

The Legends were talking among themselves, but Scarlett shook her head, pointed at Ash and said, "I want you to answer."

"Do I look like an easy target?" Ash obviously couldn't tear down Yin Deng at this time: "My answer is the same as hers."

"Then let me ask you another question. If you answer it, it can cancel out two of them. If she says just one word, it can only cancel out one." Scarlett: "I'm old and don't want to play that kind of word game - what exactly happened outside?"

Even without looking over, Ash knew that Silver Lantern was hinting at him. The best decision here was naturally to conceal the real information as much as possible, and then use the intelligence to bargain with these former legends, in addition to understanding the truth of this trial, or even deceiving them to profit from it.

However, Ash was not a talent of Igula's level, and looking at this group of Gray Fox remnants who had been abandoned by the world for more than two hundred years, he didn't think he could tell a flawless lie.

I'm really easy to bully... Ash sighed and said, "More than two hundred years ago, a 'Great Cataclysm' occurred. All magicians were killed or injured, and most fantasy creations lost their effects. So far, Senluo is still a chaotic era of sectarian wars."

Unexpectedly, the legends did not panic. They had been prepared for the worst after knowing about the past two hundred years.

"Is that so..." Scarlett murmured. She paused and said calmly, "The Cicada Singing and Eating Ceremony is our last step towards eternal life."

"The essence of the Chanming Project is to allow the magician to merge with Dafa, so that he can gain eternal life in the form of life called Dafa."

Ash couldn't help but interrupt, "But Dafa itself cannot last forever. On the contrary, it is a fragile life that cannot exist without faith."

"Almost all the great laws are as you said." Scarlett nodded, "But there is one exception."

Weisser had already guessed it: "Fangyuan cicada?"

"In the Fire Cat Age, only one Dafa successfully ascended to heaven, and that was the Fire Cat 'Zhi Shou Huo'." Scarlett said, "After the Fire Cat ascended to heaven, Fang Yuan Chan and Zhui Guang lost their followers one after another, and Zhui Guang Dafa also fell. Then the Blue Bird Age began, and new Dafas became the mainstream of the era."

"Fangyuan Cicada should have been annihilated in history. However, I don't know whether it is because it is a rare time-based magic, or because its obsession with 'eternal life' is too strong, it can actually linger on by drinking the water of the Flowing Gold River. Time can no longer wear away its essence, so Fangyuan Cicada has become a 'secret sect' that exists in every age of gods."

"The so-called flowing golden river water is actually the flow of time for all things in the world. It is everywhere and everything is alive. In other words, it itself is eternal life, flowing with time and coexisting with heaven and earth."

“So, we not only want to integrate Dafa, but also integrate Fangyuanchan Dafa.”

Scarlett said: "The Cicada Singing and Sharing Ceremony is to gather 42 magicians to open the Gate of Truth together, gather 42 different tributaries of the Flowing Gold River, and let the cicadas in the surrounding area wake up completely, which is called the Cicada Singing."

"At the same time, we also become time beings that can contain the Great Law. But for a single magician, it is too dangerous to rashly contain the entire Great Law. Anyway, we only need the ability of immortality, so--"

At this moment, a cry like the vibration of time and space was heard above the Liujin River, and even the water of the Liujin River froze, and the time in the entire palace seemed to be delayed a little.

Then the legendary magicians suddenly gave up struggling, allowing themselves to be washed away by the golden countercurrent, and even took the initiative to swim towards the source of the chirping sound!

"——We only need to eat a portion of the cicada."

As soon as Skadi finished speaking, she turned around and threw herself into the countercurrent.

Ash was still in a daze, but he saw Silver Lantern rushing over to join the feast, so he could only follow the group and go with the flow.

Leave some for me too!
