"One...into two?"
Meng was shocked again: "How did you do that?"
The world is not a watermelon, it can't be cut in half.
Mercator said calmly: "How was the world formed? The initial embryo came from the interweaving and aggregation of countless rules. It is the beginning of the world and the cornerstone of the world. It determines what the world will look like in the future, what kind of scenery will appear, and what kind of life will be born."
"If we call the original embryo of the world the 'foundation of the world', I don't know what state the 'foundation of the world' exists in. But there is no doubt -" he said, "back then, the magical creatures found a way to touch the foundation of the world. So they thought they would be able to control the whole world."
Lan thought for a moment, "So the prophecy of 'the world is in the hands of magical creatures' means that they have mastered the 'foundation of the world'?"
Everyone was speechless.
If they could really control something like the "foundation of the world", wouldn't the world be in their hands?
If magical creatures can use the "foundation of the world" as they please, then wouldn't they definitely win the war against humans?
No wonder Meng found in ancient documents that the notes of magical creatures said "We did not lose".
The foundations of the world are in their hands, so of course they think they can't lose.
"But they still lost." Meng took a breath, "In the end, they couldn't control the cornerstone of the world and messed up everything?"
A deep indifference emerged on Mercator's face: "Yes, the consequences of touching the taboo will make them disappear from this world completely." Including his beloved Dailan.
Everyone noticed that Mercteau was talking about “this world”.
Since the world is divided into two, Iluf where they are now is one, so what about the other one?
Mercator nodded slightly: "Yes, the magical creatures on the plains... and Dailan, should have entered another 'Iluf'."
Ash was stunned: "So the missing Scarlet Moon is probably in another 'Iluv'?"
Mercator nodded, but was unsure: "We have no way of knowing what the other world is like. But it does exist. The foundation of the world shattered, splitting it in two, and also splitting the world in two."
"Back then, I entered the spatial dimension and touched the barrier of the other world. Unfortunately, my strength was not enough to break the barrier and bring Dailan back to the other side."
That's why he can be so sure of the existence of another world.
“…”
Everyone fell silent for a moment.
The truth was so unbelievable that it was beyond their comprehension.
Mercator continued, "The prophecy made by Dailan that Ilufu will face a crisis of extinction also stems from this."
"When I woke up, I sensed the current barren magical environment." He said, "Half of the world is incomplete. It will gradually decline."
When Ash took his first class at the academy, he learned the huge difference between the ancient and modern magical environments.
Now I finally understood the root cause of this huge difference.
But since the opening of Broken River Plain, the magic environment in Ilufu has been improving. This meeting in the City of God's Creation was to decide on the treatment of Broken River Plain, and to study the reasons why the magic elements in Ilufu have gradually become stronger in the past year.
Ash brought this up in confusion.
The decline seems to have stopped?
"The decline of magic is not the crisis that leads to the destruction of Iluv." Mercator shook his head. "The cessation of decline and the beginning of improvement will be the beginning of destruction."
He asked in return: "Back then, the plain was blocked by the Elemental River. Since you said that the magical environment in Iluf has begun to improve, then has the Elemental River disappeared?"
Ash was surprised and nodded.
Sure enough, the disappearance of the River of Elements is the source of the improvement of Iluf's magical environment?
"The disappearance of the River of Elements means that the two worlds that were split into two will soon merge into one," Mercator said calmly. "When humans are injured, their wounds will heal. The same is true for the world. The two incomplete worlds have the same origin. They are always attracted to each other and yearn for completeness. As time goes by, they will slowly merge into one."
A hint of helplessness emerged in his dark eyes: "But even if they are incomplete, they are already two relatively independent worlds. When they truly overlap and collide with each other, it is not the fusion of worlds, but the destruction of worlds."
The River of Elements disappeared, the magical elements became rich, the traces of the laws became clear... the magical environment was changing towards its appearance in ancient times. All of this could only mean that the two worlds were getting closer and closer, and the magical environment was changing towards the appearance of a "complete world".
And when the magical environment is completely restored to its ancient state, that is when the world will completely collapse.
After a long silence, Meng's voice was dry: "Then...what should we do?" Even he couldn't make a joke casually at this time.
"It won't be destroyed." Lan sat on Mercator's lap, his voice gentle but firm, "You are still here."
Her eyes fell on Sigourney and Ash.
Ash was helpless: "What should we do?"
Can the love between him and Sigourney prevent the two worlds from merging and colliding?
"Returning to the origin of the world, you two have the opportunity to save the world." Mercator said, "The world itself does not want to be annihilated. Its hope lies in you."
The place where the world began?
"Broken River Plains?" Ash murmured.
The elemental storm broke out on the plains that year because the magical creatures touched the taboo of "the foundation of the world".
Conversely, the cornerstone of the world is in the Broken River Plain?
It was also the place where he and Sigourney first met.
Do you want to... go back to Duogu Village?
"When tomorrow's business is over, let's go to the plains." Mercator believed in Dailan's prophecy. "The two worlds will eventually merge, just like a cold spring merging into magma. Either side will have a tragic end. But you have the key in your hands. You will definitely make the two worlds merge gently at the intersection like two rippling rivers and merge into the sea."
He held Lan in his arms and stood up. "I've said so much all at once. You can't come back to your senses right away, right? Tomorrow I will go to see the throne of this era. In the face of the crisis of the world, the Broken River Plain that you are worried about is no longer a problem."
He left the room.
Yes, the Broken River Plain is no longer a problem, but what about the world crisis?
Once the world enters destruction, everyone in the Broken River Plain will not be able to escape either.
Ash looked down at his two empty hands. Keys?
No matter how strong his heart was, he felt a heavy pressure.
He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Sigourney, but he was stunned at the first glance.
Sigourney sat beside him, lowering her dark red eyes, so quiet that she seemed to have no sense of existence at all.
His mind was not in this room at all, as if it had drifted to a faraway place.
It's like a vague wandering soul that will disappear from your fingertips if you're not careful.
By the way, Sigourney hasn’t spoken since Mercator started talking.
What is he thinking about?
For the first time, Ash couldn't immediately figure out what Sigourney was thinking.
Ash instinctively grabbed Sigourney's sleeve.
"Sigourney?"
Sigourney's long silver eyelashes moved slightly, and her dark red eyes turned around. When she saw Ash, she suddenly became alert: "Hmm?"
"...Rest?" Ash looked at him steadily.
Sigourney pursed her bloodless lips and remained silent for a long time before she stood up and said, "Follow me."
Meng stared dumbfoundedly at Sigourney and Ash leaving one after another, his hand stretched out to keep them from leaving froze in mid-air.
Hey! Please don't leave him here alone to face this shocking secret!
He has been exploring history for so many years, not to discover an ending where the world is completely destroyed!
On the other side, Sigourney brought Ash to the top of the tower.
He has a secret.
Not even Nance knew.
Ash might have noticed something, but it was too unbelievable and the kid never dared to guess the truth.
But after listening to Mercator's words tonight, the young man with amazing insight will probably realize the truth soon, right?
He had no intention of hiding it from Ash either.
I just want to figure out some things myself first, and then confess to Ash.
And tonight, through Mercator's words, he finally figured it out.
The night sky above is extremely vast, with a pale moon hanging high in the sky. Here, some long-buried secrets seem to be able to be spoken out.
"Ash."
Ash sat next to Sigourney and heard a cool and pleasant voice coming from the spiritual world.
"I was once a human being."
"Humans who live in another world."
