Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1435: Origin Slate

The sudden burst of fire caused Lucy to take a few steps back, and the light in the hall dimmed, and then circles of fire rose from the ground, and even the stone pillars that supported the dome spat out fiery flames.

The hall turned into a sea of fire in the blink of an eye, and sparks fluttered about as Lucy stood there, not daring to move. Afterwards, the surrounding flames gradually descended, and only the pillar of fire that had originally shot up continued to gush out. At this moment, the flames began to distort, gradually forming a figure. The figure moved from the void to the solid, and the flames quickly shone into the figure. Following that, the textures of some of the clothes became blurry and clear. In the blink of an eye, a man with his back to Lucy appeared in the hall.

He stood in the midst of the flames, as if a sovereign was being bowed down by a myriad of flames, causing an inexplicable majesty to arise spontaneously. Lucy had to do her utmost to restrain herself from kneeling down and bow to the figure.

"Sure enough, you're not Kritora, and you don't seem to be her descendant, but you have fluctuations that I'm familiar with." The man said slowly. His voice was very magnetic, but Lucy was even more shocked by his words.

Not because of anything else, just because of the name "Kritora". That was the name of the Rose Empress. This man was straight from her name. Obviously, he knew the Rose Empress, and the relationship between them was very extraordinary.

The man turned around. He had a head of pale gray hair, a dignified appearance, red eyes, and eyes that seemed to contain abyss flames. Lucy had only seen in books the dignified and gorgeous robes of his old style.

This black-colored, golden-colored robe was decorated with elegance and luxury. The man in front of her was even more dignified than Orfasis. This was the first time Lucy had seen such a person. The opponent's invisible oppressive feeling caused her, the empress who was accustomed to seeing big shots and big shots, to turn pale and her body trembled slightly.

The man raised his hand, and a swaying golden rose suddenly appeared around Lucy. The Origin Tool Golden Rose also let out a buzzing sound, and the patterns on the spear itself lit up. A relieved expression appeared in the man's eyes. "So you are the successor of the Golden Rose. You can also be regarded as her successor. No wonder I feel a little familiar with you."

"Is Kritora alright?"

Lucy smiled bitterly. "Empress Rose has been dead for a long time."

"Oh," the man said, his eyes flashing with disappointment. "I've forgotten that a long time has passed. But in my memory, it's as if I said goodbye to Kritora yesterday. Empress Rose? What a prestigious title. This is a bit out of place with the willful girl I remember."

"Who is calling, please?"

"Who am I?" The man shook his head. "It's not important, son. You're the first person to come here since that man. I think it's been many years."

"Man? Are you referring to Master Gwa?"

"Gwa? That seems to be the name. He's not bad. He knows a little about our race, so I allowed him to record some things."

"But you killed him in the end," said Lucy.

"What does it matter? He has left enough information. His mission has been accomplished, hasn't he? Besides, this was a deal he made voluntarily back then. I promised that he could leave and record everything he saw. But when it is complete, he must die." The man spread out his hands and said, "This is a fair deal."

"Then tell me, since you are willing to let Grandmaster Gwa bring the information out, why did you prevent others from entering the temple afterwards?"

"Did I stop him?" The man smiled and asked, "Do you think you can walk up this mountain if I want to? No, I've never stopped people from coming to find out the truth. I've only made some preparations, and only those with strong will can come up."

Lucy was speechless. Indeed, if the man wanted to stop her, she wouldn't be able to come up. With his ability, he could completely seal off the entire Sacred Mountain, instead of merely increasing the gravity on the mountain path and the storm surrounding the Sacred Mountain.

"Now know? I asked that man to bring the message out of here to attract people who wanted to come. However, if you don't have enough determination and the awareness to risk your life in order to find out the truth, then it's better to stay here with me. The man looked at Lucy and said, "Even if the planet is on the verge of destruction and the truth is going to disappear with its destruction, it can only be said that your luck is not bad. But now that you're here, it means that your luck is not bad." At the very least, there is hope that this will be the end. "

"Settle? What settle? I don't understand."

"When you know the truth, you will understand."

"Does the truth have anything to do with the Son of Twilight?" Asked Lucy.

"That's part of it, but more of it is the truth about the dusk of the universe. As for us, we are just part of the truth."

"Then please tell me, is there a way to change the genes of the Son of Twilight in that so-called truth?"

"You look very urgent. Strange. Could it be that the Son of Twilight of this generation has appeared?" The man raised his finger at Lucy and a flame shot out from his fingertips and imprinted it between her eyebrows.

Lucy's whole body trembled and her expression became somewhat absent-minded. A moment later, he regained his senses and blurted out, "What did you do?"

Just now, she actually felt Alan's existence. That feeling was very wonderful. Just like when she was beside Alan, she could feel Alan's breathing and his smell, but she could not see or touch him. The yearning that was originally buried deep in her heart was triggered without warning. She missed him so much, missed his embrace, and the temperature of his chest.

However, the two of them were separated by a myriad of star paths.

Instantly, Lucy burst into tears.

The man said calmly, "Nothing much. It's just that with you as the medium, I met with the Son of Twilight of this generation." He was still very young, very young, and far from being fully awakened. However, some qualities had already appeared on him, and the trial circuit had also appeared. If everything went smoothly, he was undoubtedly the son of Twilight of this generation. However, before he could finish his bloody journey, he still had no idea what was going on.

He looked deeply at Lucy again. "I didn't expect you to love him so much. It's like a reincarnation."

The man closed his eyes, as if he was filled with endless sighs in his heart. Lucy suppressed her emotions and reached out to wipe the tears off her face. The hall fell into a moment of silence until the man opened his eyes again and moved his fingers. Behind him, the floating slab flew towards Lucy. "Since you can come to the Temple and have such a deep relationship with the Son of Twilight, you should be right to give this Slab of Origin."

"Origin Slate?" Lucy caught the stone slab and, after taking it, found that it was not as heavy as she looked. Although it looked quite big and its surface was stone-like, it felt warm when it came in contact with it. The surface was as rough as a stone. If one looked carefully, they would find that there were golden particles scattered in the stone slab. These things emitted faint Origin Energy fluctuations. Anyway, no matter what, the material of this stone slab was not ordinary. Lucy could not even think of anything that matched the material characteristics of this stone slab.

The man seemed to reveal Qian's thoughts. He smiled and said, "There's no need to think about it. It's not something that exists in this universe. Take it out and study it carefully. If you have the chance to see the Son of Twilight of this generation, tell him for me that destruction and end are not our only destiny."

"Us? Could it be that you are also..."

The man smiled but did not answer.

Lucy frowned, "Since you gave me the Slate of Origin, it means that you don't mind revealing the truth. Then you can tell me directly. Don't you save me the effort of my research?"

The man smiled and said, "I think you have guessed that I am just a will separated from a generation of twilight sons." My body imposes certain restrictions, including the rule of not revealing the truth. I'm not afraid to tell you that my original mission was to guard this stone slab until a descendant arrives. Unfortunately, countless hours passed by while I was asleep, but none of my descendants were able to find this place. Perhaps the time is not ripe yet, and during this process, I'm afraid that even my main body did not think that as a will, I would be able to continuously grow and break all the restrictions he imposed. "

"At that time, the man was asked to record and spread the information here because I was too boring, and it was just a game to pass the time. Therefore, I am not obliged to tell you the truth about the restrictions imposed by myself or my main body."

"If you want to save something, then you can rely on your own strength to find the answer." The man raised his hand and an invisible force field lifted Lucy up, sending her out of the hall and into the square outside the temple.

Lucy stood up with the stone slab in her arms and saw a slab suddenly fall from the entrance of the temple, sealing the entrance. She murmured, "How could there be such a rude delivery person? He is obviously such a dignified and noble person. He is really barbaric."

Looking at the Origin Slate in her arms, she smiled again. This trip to the Evernight Star had finally yielded some results. Moreover, the harvest was not small. This stone slab actually contained the truth about the universe's twilight. It was definitely worth studying. Perhaps there was a way to get Alan out of the child of twilight.

But what was the truth about the universe at dusk? Could there be a more terrifying secret than the universe's twilight?

At this moment, the flames in the temple hall were gradually extinguishing. The man looked around and smiled, "Although it took a bit longer, I still beat you once. I don't think you ever thought that I would use this method to break your maximum limit, right?"

"As long as the Slate of Origin exists here, I will not disappear. But now that it has been taken away, the restriction no longer exists. In fact, I would like to stay for a while longer to see if they can dig out the secrets of the Slate of Origin and see if the Son of Twilight of this generation can completely settle with that person.

"

"But I'm too tired. I can finally get a good sleep this time. There's no need to wake up."

When the last strand of flame disappeared, the man's figure also dissipated like a bubble. Only his last low laugh echoed in the hall.

In the end, everything returned to nothingness.
