Ash Heath.
The mastermind of the "Mayor's Judgment Night" in the Blood Moon Broken Lake Prison, the candidate for the "First Gospel" appointed by the Gospel List, the fuse of the Six Nations War, the only official stepfather designated by Queen Yisu, the witness of the demise of the Gray Fox legendary magician in the Divine Fire Trial, and the true successor of the Thousand Wishes inheritance. In less than a year, from reality to the virtual world, if any of his legendary deeds were left out, it would be enough for others to start over several times.
Orchid Weisser.
A survivor of the Dead City and a betrayer of the Fire Temple, she was forced to flee because of the fear of the Mercury Trojan Horse. She plundered more than half of the wasteland's great laws, and her notoriety was known to everyone from the Four Pillars of God to the Qinri Alliance. She has been friends with loneliness since she was a child, and has taken betrayal as her teacher. She treks in the wilderness at night, dreaming of burning the world.
However, even these two magicians who had seen countless storms could not help but be shocked and lose their composure at this moment, and their minds went blank.
White dove, fire cat, blue bird.
Even in the wasteland of Senluo where civilization was cut short, if you want to find someone who doesn't know these names, you can only find them among children under three years old. Even for a migrant worker like Ash who has only been in Senluo for a few months and has been ostracized by the locals, you can hear these three names or their derivatives almost every day.
Because they are history, they are Senluo. All the civilization of Senluo people is built on these three names, and even the many beliefs of Senluo people cannot escape their shackles.
One thousand four hundred years ago, the Age of the White Dove Gods began and Senluo was unified.
One thousand two hundred years ago, the Age of Fire Cat Gods began, marking the beginning of the longest and most glorious Age of Gods.
Seven hundred years ago, all great eras would have come to an end, but because of the improvement of the Divine Fire System, the Fire Cat Age smoothly transitioned to the Blue Bird Age.
Three hundred and fifty years ago, the Blue Bird Age of Gods smoothly transitioned to the Gray Fox Age of Gods. At that time, the people of Senluo believed that the Age of Gods would continue to cycle through civilizations, and that bloody wars were just exaggerations in history books, even though the Divine Fire System was only a budding product that had been established for hundreds of years.
Their names were once the highest ideals that hundreds of millions of people strived for.
Their existence is the blossoming of this earth and the result of this sky!
They are the first great method to open the Age of Gods!
"White Dove Magic, Fire Cat Magic, Blue Bird Magic." Weisser subconsciously took a few steps closer to them, but quickly retreated to Ash's side: "Why are you here?"
Ash understood Silver Lantern's excitement and closeness very well. He would feel the same way if he saw the celebrities in history books who made great contributions to society and science. Being able to talk to history is enough for insignificant humans to feel extremely honored.
"First, we are not Dafa, we are gods, but you can just call us by our names or nicknames, don't add "gods", just like you wouldn't add racial terms like 'human' or 'orc' after the name." The lively fire cat raised two fingers: "Second, of course we are here for you."
"You are the first successor to pass the hidden trial." Bai Ge took out a long cane from somewhere, leaned on the beach, and said solemnly: "According to the established procedures, when Master Zhan is unable to show up, we will make the announcement for you."
"Only those who are full of courage, whose will never wavers, who interact with the world on an equal footing, and who always sing my song, can pass the trial of the Spiral of Silence. Heir, no matter what race, strength, or belief you are, you will rule the Land of All Things with me."
"You are my agent. At the end of the long road, we will meet at the promised place."
"「——Zhan」."
Although it was just the pigeon repeating, and although it was just a paragraph of text, Ash and Silver Lamp felt an inexplicable sense of awe. This was the first time they had listened to the words of the Six-Winged Lord. Before this, they had no idea what kind of existence the Six-Winged Lord was - whether they had desires, self-awareness, or whether they had the desire to convey information to people, everything was unknown.
Regardless of which country it is, the gods are basically completely detached from all living beings. Even if they have any ideas, they will not inform the people below - yes, let alone give orders, they are too lazy to even notify.
Many magicians believe that the gods and angels no longer view themselves as the same kind of variants of humans (this is the self-perception of most magicians). They have no empathy for mortals and do not care whether mortals hate or worship them.
Just like when you play chess, you don’t care whether the chess piece likes you or hates you, because no matter what it thinks, it can neither harm you in the slightest nor serve you.
Now, other gods don't know, but Lord Zhan at least cares about mortals, and even left a hidden test for mortals to meet him. Even if this kind of care is most likely due to his love for pets.
To translate this sentence, it means "I leave this cat bed to you. If you can appear in front of me in the future, I can scratch your belly for you."
However, both Ash and Weisser were keenly aware of the key point of this sentence.
"Will I jointly rule the universe with Lord Zhan?" Weisser asked doubtfully.
"Senluo Earth, the Kingdom of All Things." Bai Ge explained: "Although Lord Zhan is transferring the Dream Lord's share of Senluo Earth to you, He also understands that it is impossible for mortals to support Senluo Earth alone. At the same time, the appearance of the successor is the result of His inability to control Senluo Earth, which means that Lord Zhan is in trouble."
"So, when your share of the Dream Master reaches a certain level, Master Zhan will be free to deal with his own problems. Once He has dealt with them, He will naturally take back the share of the Dream Master and continue to maintain the existence of the Senluo Land."
"But your experience as a Senluo Dream Master is a rare treasure for you. And in order to reward you for your help to Master Zhan, Master Zhan will give you some Dream Master privileges in the future—not the share you have inherited but cannot use now, but privileges you can use at will."
"To put it simply," Bluebird suddenly said, "you will become the king of Senluo."
Bai Ge nodded: "Master Zhan usually doesn't pay attention to Senluo. Unless He intervenes, your will is Senluo's fate. In addition, you will be connected to the Kingdom of All Things, and Master Zhan will give you a secret world to help you enter the realm of God as soon as possible."
Ash was stunned for a moment.
Cultivate with all your strength!
The King of Senluo!
Help you become a god!
Material enjoyment, spiritual enjoyment, power and status, and future prospects are all taken into consideration. What kind of treatment is this! Moreover, unlike the Ghost Prophet, she is only a five-winged demigod when she enters the realm of God, but a five-winged angel with Senluo Zhanzhu as her backer!
Although Yindeng had to fight against thousands of people to get this unique position, isn't it too tempting?
You four pillar gods should be more careful. If you could offer Lord Zhan a price of this level, I would have been your loyal servant long ago!
More importantly, this arrangement revealed another more important message: it is possible for Lord Zhan to recover!
Although Ash spoke with certainty, his plan actually still had a lot of uncertainty. Let's take the simplest question: How would Ash arrange the migration of tens of millions of people?
Ten million people are just a number, but when they gather together, they are enough to burst the spiral of silence. Moreover, their food, lodging, excretion, escape order and other management issues, every detail of which can make Ash's only designated butler Igula's scalp tingle, not to mention that they are a group of Senluo people with different beliefs and who are not afraid of death!
Different beliefs mean endless and violent conflicts without room for compromise, and not being afraid of death means that conflicts will break out at any time and anywhere! Even with the oppression of the Silver Lantern and the way of survival provided by the Empty Gate Passage, Ash optimistically estimated that less than one in five people could escape from Senluo.
The conflict between hunger and faith was enough to make them consume themselves on the road until they died. In addition, the transportation capacity of the empty passageway had not been verified. Even if the magician could continuously provide magic power, could the magic spirit really keep running for a long time? Tools would also wear out.
The escape plan proposed by Ash is a good one, but if it is only executed for a short time, it will eventually turn into a lively and grand funeral. The Spiral of Silence is the cemetery, Silver Lantern is the gravedigger responsible for burials, and Ash, as the leader of the cult, serving as a priest is also a professional match.
Compared with the unpredictable destruction of the world, perhaps being killed by fellow countrymen can better enable the Senluo people to realize the value of their lives.
However, Lord Zhan's arrangement is equivalent to a guarantee for the escape plan!
The end of the world will still come to Senluo, but it will not compress all living space, and the people of Senluo have a place to retreat. As long as the news that the Lord of Zhan will soon recover the old land is spread, most people of Senluo will definitely be willing to stick to their homeland. During the migration, the sects that have been destroyed and the non-believers of the Four Pillars Sect can escape from Senluo through the empty gate instead of being killed by other sects.
The sects that still want to realize their ideals will stay, and ordinary people who cannot realize their ideals will leave. Population reduction will not only alleviate the food problem, but also after this great change that has not been seen in 1,600 years, the beliefs of those who remain will be more firm.
The Senluo Kingdom, Senluo Lord, Senluo people, and even Silver Lantern, everyone will start over.
However, when Ash looked at Silver Lantern, he found that the latter's face not only showed no excitement, but rather a bit of loneliness and regret.
