Screwed up, but not totally screwed up.

Igula entered the hidden shelter in the cracks of time and thought about what to do next.

If Yindeng died, he could just confess the truth. After all, he was dead, and everyone would just sigh. Even if they speculated on Yindeng's plan, they would not know the truth. Unless someone happened to find Yindeng's magician manual in the virtual world, Yindeng would only die as a "complex" villain.

Their only obligation is to leave behind a few words after Senluo becomes a purgatory on earth, so that everyone knows that there once existed a great country with four ages of gods - ordinary people can only do this much.

But now Yindeng is not dead.

Not only did Yin Deng escape, she also destroyed the key clues, making it impossible for others to unlock the third "Link of Truth". Therefore, in their eyes, Yin Deng is still a mobile disaster that kills people indiscriminately. They will neither understand her nor support her.

It is impossible for humans to empathize with monsters.

Plus, after the bloody battle just now, they only have disgust, fear and hatred for Silver Lantern. Not to mention Chikara, Gwen and Black Crow, Igula found that even Harvey had a gloomy face. The necromancer kept biting his fingernails silently, muttering things like "make the skull into a wine glass" and "give Alice the internal organs as snacks".

This is also the reason why Igula did not stop Silver Lantern from destroying the clues. Since she is not dead yet, she will continue to live as a demon monster, continue to endure hatred, and continue to wreak havoc on all living beings.

Anyway, to her, everything is an illusion.

only……

Igula looked at the golden "Link of Truth" on the third fog wall and frowned slightly.

Did Silver Lantern really want to trap them here to death? If Igula hadn't pieced together the last piece of the puzzle himself, they would have had no chance of passing through the fog wall, and the only way to leave the dead city was behind the fog wall.

However, the trickster still has a final solution: just tell Ash and the others the derivation process.

Now Yindeng and Ash have completely torn their relationship apart, no matter whether she is good or bad, she has nothing to do with Ash. From the moment Yindeng severely injured Ash, their relationship was cleared and they returned to being A, B, C, and D.

Even if Ash knew the secret, he would only feel a little regretful, but as time went by, he would find that it was just a boring illusion. But in any case, it was better than being trapped in the "sanctuary" for 30,000 years.

But unless there was really no other way, Igula didn't want to say it.

To be honest, the trickster was not the kind of person who liked to make others happy. On the contrary, he preferred to destroy other people's careful plans. Appreciating other people's frustrated, helpless and furious looks was one of the few pleasures in his life that he never got tired of.

What could be more fun than breaking someone's defense?

Therefore, Igula never thought that a chaotic fraudster like him would one day help the hostile Silver Lantern, reach an invisible tacit understanding with her, and help her conceal the secret sealed in the dead city.

Silver Lamp is like a lonely gardener, raising a beautiful flower, but it is planted in another country, in someone else's garden. Silver Lamp has the opportunity to pick it, but he still lets it continue to live in the clean and beautiful garden, and continues to look at it from afar across a country.

She obviously had nothing.

How stupid.

I am also a fool for being moved by such a foolish thing. What made me so stupid?

Igula sighed inwardly, and heard Ash say beside him: "Will the Gray Fox magicians really trap their compatriots to death in the "sanctuary"? Because if they can't solve the three questions they left, they have to stay here until they die? Even if the students of the Gray Fox God Era have no human rights, they can't be so miserable, right?"

Everyone was stunned, and they all realized this loophole - even if the Gray Fox Magician wanted future generations to know the truth, he should not have left behind this kind of test mechanism with no way out.

It would be fine if the Gray Fox Age was a dark and desperate era, but according to the information, the people in the Gray Fox Age are generally positive and the social atmosphere is good. They don't even have infrastructure such as prisons. It is not known whether they have no bad people or only the death penalty.

Ash was originally quite curious about the prison style of the Gray Fox God Age. After all, with his rich experience, he was already qualified to comment on the quality of prisons. After wandering around half of Senluo, he didn't find any prison ruins, and he was quite disappointed about it.

Even if the Gray Fox magician became hysterical when facing the "Great Cataclysm", he would not be so cruel as to not even give his descendants a way to survive.

"But we are not compatriots of the Gray Fox magician."

Chikara revealed the truth in one sentence: "Many Gray Fox ruins require citizenship to enter. If you don't have citizenship, it will even trigger the security anti-enemy mechanism. For them, only Gray Fox citizens are their compatriots. If there is any way, it must be triggered by people with citizenship...Ah! If a Gray Fox citizen comes in to save me, I'm willing to be his chair!"

A moment later, Ash was sitting on the orc's back, staring at the Beyond Prison card in his hand.

As long as he could successfully possess the spirit, he would be able to borrow his citizenship during his lifetime. This convenience had already helped him overcome many obstacles, and he estimated that it should also apply here.

"There is a time delay when parasitizing a spirit, not to mention that I am parasitizing a spirit from a long distance." Ash pondered, "In normal time, it takes one second at the fastest and three seconds at the slowest. If the time is really extended to [1 second = 1 year], then we have to be prepared to live here for one to three years."

Compared to the terrifying length of 30,000 years, the imprisonment time was shortened to three years, which everyone could accept. Not only that, everyone's minds became active at the thought of suddenly having three years of free time without being disturbed.

Black Crow said, "Once I have healed my wounds, I will use this time to hone my combat skills. I have been running around for the past two months and have gained a lot of insights, which I just need time to settle down."

"Although there are not many materials here, three years is enough time for me to fix Alice." The necromancer said, "By the way, you can try to unlock the Blood Moon Corpse King."

Chikara under Ash's butt also said excitedly: "After so much time, I can completely integrate my fire magic and space factions. Let me tell you, I have a wonderful miracle idea - to make others burn themselves by anger! Doesn't it sound great? Now all I need is a spiritual sanctuary to help..."

Gwen didn't say anything. Igula looked at Ash, who was holding his chin with a troubled look on his face: "Three years... Although I also want to spend some time to sort out the combat system, three years is too long! I haven't even been a magician for three years!"

After Ash said this, Igula and Harvey were fine, but Chikara, Gwen and even Black Crow all looked at the cult leader with surprise.

"Mr. Ash, you have become a Sanctuary in less than three years?"

Chikara was stunned when he heard this: "One level up per year? Excuse me, little Chikara, but which god's surname is Hiss? Or is the rumor about the Void Realm Mother true, and you are the illegitimate child of the Void Realm? By the way, Mr. Ash, are you sitting comfortably? I can adjust the comfort of your back. If it's too hard, please tell me. I suddenly found that I have a talent for being a chair!"

Ash suddenly began to understand Sword Princess' situation in the academy.

If he was still an ordinary person half a year ago, would you immediately convert from the Four Pillars Gods and Crow Killer to Ash... Igula complained in his heart, and while they were chatting, he unknowingly approached the fog wall and quietly reached out.

He wanted to make sure he could pass through the fog wall. If he could, then this would be his way out if his 'citizenship' was invalid. If he couldn't -

Igula's pupils suddenly shrank. He looked at his hand that was blocked by the fog wall, and a drop of cold sweat flowed down his forehead.

He had clearly cracked the third "Link of Truth", so why couldn't he pass through the fog wall!?

Could it be that his deduction was wrong? Without the key clue that the silver lantern destroyed, it would not work? But——

"Igura."

The Trickster turned around and saw Ash walking up behind him, "What's wrong?"

"I just saw you approaching the fog wall, so I came to take a look." Ash looked at the golden runes on the fog wall and said, "Since the silver lantern destroyed the last clue, there is no need for you to continue to worry about it."

"Besides, even if you pieced together the truth, it would probably be useless."

The fraudster was stunned: "Why didn't it work?"

"Because what 'Truth Link' really wants people to understand is definitely not the ending." Ash said, "If it was just the ending, then among the people who strayed into the dead city in the past two hundred years, aren't there even a few people with good psychological endurance? It's impossible that they were locked up in the cage of time just because they couldn't accept the ending, right?"

yes.

These three links of truth are only a matter of time to be cracked as long as there are records of predecessors. Theoretically, everyone can escape from the dead city on their own, so why did no one survive?

"So, there must be a gift in this ending, and that is the key." Ash guessed, "Only those who accept this gift can walk out of the time cage. Although I don't know what the gift is, only one person has accepted it in the past two hundred years, and the rest would rather die than accept it... Obviously we should be the latter."

Igula used all his strength to suppress the changes in his expression and tried his best to be nonchalant to Ash.

I see.

No wonder no one leaves the dead city.

No wonder Yin Deng wanted to destroy key information!

Because the ending is not important, what is important is the means of salvation reflected by the ending - destruction of the world!

Only those who are willing to accept this mission and even regard it as their ideal in life can get out of the "sanctuary"! Because she gave up the refuge and chose to face the challenge!

This is not the ramblings of a middle school boy, or the random thoughts during a nap, but it is necessary to recognize this idea from the bottom of your heart and strive for this goal from now on. It is normal that no one has been able to accept this task for more than two hundred years. The weak are unable to shoulder this responsibility, and the strong cannot accept this kind of life.

If it was to rule the world, which would harm others and benefit oneself, it would be fine, but destroying the world would be completely burning oneself and scalding others, which would not benefit oneself at all, and would also require sacrificing one's life. The fact that Yin Deng could accept this only proved that she was a lunatic! She was already crazy!

Igula didn't know when the Silver Lamp last entered the Dead City, but there was no doubt that she was the only descendant who passed the test of the Gray Fox Magician, and from that time on, she had been on the path of the Silver Lamp of Destruction!

In a trance, he seemed to be able to see that scene: a young nun of the Temple climbed out of the dead city in the deep pit. It was still dark, and the night was as dark as ink. The life-sucking green thorns tightly wrapped around her neck, but could not pollute her at all. She fell to the ground due to the rocks, but soon stood up again. She was bathed in darkness, but her eyes were brighter and deeper than all the people in Senluo.

This will that only appears once every two hundred years can even subtly affect her reality because of the mechanism of "Idealism". In addition to her outstanding talent, she will also have many adventures. Even if she does not go out, someone will take the initiative to send her help... Anyone who deals with her will encounter setbacks, and anyone she deals with will be unlucky and have their intelligence reduced...

She would not hesitate to kill, because her life was more important than everyone else's. She would eliminate all threats to protect herself, because that was her mission anyway... She started a war, defected from the sect, and was ready to execute the crazy and brutal plan in her heart...

Thinking of this, Igula was very glad that he could not pass through the fog wall: if he could pass through the fog wall, it meant that he would also have to accept this task!

I should discuss with Ash how to spend the next three years...

When Igula was about to leave, he saw Black Crow slowly approaching the fog wall. The trickster was a little surprised because Black Crow was illiterate and he didn't even participate in the intelligence search. He could only be responsible for the outer security.

Black Crow seemed a little hesitant, but still reached out his hand towards the fog wall, and then -

His hand passed through.
