As the roots grow deeper, the maple leaves become brighter and brighter.
So bright that it is almost breathtaking.
The scene changes.
The vermilion faded, replaced by a pale planet.
Mercury, dead.
True.
It is still a celestial body now, but I can no longer feel even a trace of vitality and spirituality from it.
It still exists, but it can no longer be called alive.
All life had been plundered, and even the soul of the planet itself had disappeared.
It is now just a mass of rock, more like the excrement of some beast after eating than a planet.
It was as if some monster that fed on sound was born in the air. At this moment, there was not even the slightest sound in the Crown Time Temple.
The Demon Pillars' wish is to replace the Earth.
But now, Mercury, which is on the same planet as the Earth, has been completely eaten up.
If this is a nightmare, it is too scary.
Leif felt as if his body had been petrified, and it was difficult for him to move or make any sound.
But the nightmare did not end there.
The center of the temple.
The images brought by the clairvoyance changed again.
This time.
It is a vast group portrait, or rather, a projection of a tragic battlefield.
The twisted branches tore apart the bodies of the planets and devoured everything on them.
The planets were roaring wildly.
One after another great lives stood up from the earth.
That's UO.
The strongest creature on this celestial body created by the planet's will can be said to be the physical embodiment of the planet's will.
Each of them has the power to reshape the planet. In front of them, countless murderous evil spirits are created. The strongest characters in various myths, and even the main gods respected by all people, are nothing more than ridiculous clowns.
But the moment they appeared, flames filled with extinction covered every planet...
Pairs of terrifying eyes were also reflected in the sky, attacking the UO that was blocking the twisted tree with pure destruction and mercilessly attacking the celestial body under its feet...
The slashing blows that could split the moon in two and the collisions that could create the moon out of thin air would bring about extinction-level disasters.
The will of Venus let out a tragic wail under the bombardment of the endless meteorite rain.
Mars was torn apart from the middle, and could only rely on the roots of the tree to maintain its spherical shape.
Jupiter's UO struggled in the flames, and the planetary consciousness it was loyal to fell into a beautiful dream and died quietly...
The scene changes again.
Everything became calm.
There is no wailing planet, nor struggling UO, there are only trees covered with roots and leaves, penetrating the sky and the earth, and bearing fruits filled with the despair of the planet.
“It’s delicious. It’s really delicious.”
“I feel like my body is getting stronger.”
"Is this the fruit of the sacred tree? How magical."
"It barely makes up for the deficit... I need to eat more often to recover."
"Where are we going later? Starting from Pluto?"
"Ah...do we still need to check in and take photos at a time like this?"
"of course."
The creatures that looked like humans but were not human were feasting under the withered tree, making satisfied eating sounds.
Their voices are either cheerful, or honest, and some even have a gentle tone.
It sounds like a friendly group building.
And in this team building process.
The people being watched would occasionally cast curious glances in their direction - these monsters could almost all sense the clairvoyant's gaze.
However, the leader remained indifferent, so they all withdrew their gazes and continued chatting, occasionally sighing that the quality of the planets in this galaxy was really amazing.
After having a good meal and a good drink, we headed towards a more distant direction.
Before they leave the mouth.
What appeared in the field of vision of many demon pillars were gray and white planets.
In the past, they were worshipped by countless magicians and regarded as the source of spirituality of all things.
But now, they are just a pitiful plate of stones.
Leif's body continued to tremble.
died.
All died.
The planet that gave birth to life and laws...
All dead! ! !
There was also whispering all around.
"Those guys...are they from outer space?"
"The battle with UO is almost a duel of quantity, not involving conceptual restraint... It must be from outer space."
"They seem to have destroyed many planets in other universes... Damn, what is the relationship between these guys and Youxing?"
Among the dead planets, there is no Earth.
But this is not something to be happy about. The monsters will start from Pluto and hunt inward again...
Souls are frozen with fear.
This is probably how Leif feels now.
He raised his head with difficulty and looked forward. There, the monarch who wanted to become the pinnacle of the planet already had a grim face.
no doubt.
He also felt the crisis of death and lost his composure.
The monarch's loss of composure made the surrounding demon pillars even more terrified.
"You want to escape?"
In a trance, it seemed that the Demon Pillar was whispering.
Chapter 501 The advent of justice will eventually kill the beast (certain)
escape.
Such is the rhetoric.
This caused a considerable number of demons to become shaken.
——The Demon Pillar is actually afraid of death.
It is not the fear of death itself, but the fear of the meaninglessness that death brings - after a living being dies, everything it has created will turn into nothingness with the passage of time, that is, meaningless.
If you die.
Then, we will all become miserable beings just like human beings.
Now that wandering planet-like life forms have appeared en masse, choosing to escape seems to be a good option for the sake of one's own value.
But the next moment, a cold voice sounded in the temple.
"escape?"
“Is this your decision?”
The king on the throne slowly stood up, his eyes as sharp as a knife.
"Do you still remember the bold words I made?"
Bold words...
All the Demon Pillars were dragged into their memories by those words.
One beast. Mercy.
A beast that was born out of the pride that people feel towards each other due to sadness and disappointment.
The beast lives up to its name.
As the most proud animal, it naturally has lofty ideals.
despicable?
mistake?
terrorist?
If its plan goes ahead, then what will surely follow will be endless accusations and abuses, and the hatred from outsiders will be so ridiculous in its eyes.
Burning fuel to go back to the past, defining oneself as the supreme, and endowing everything with immortality, thus giving all life "meaning".
The devil is no longer inferior to humans, and the life that is born from then on is no longer a ridiculous existence like dust.
How can such a great cause be considered a bad thing?
This is the right belief, the right goal!!
"What we represent is justice, what we pursue is true greatness, and our efforts are what are truly important!"
"You are going to give up your great cause and become a lost dog because of fear?!!"
The man who stood up from the throne spoke in a calm voice, but when it came to the Demon Pillar who was determined to escape, it was as shocking as seeing the King of Sparta desperately defend Thermopylae.
The noisy sound suddenly disappeared, and several demons lowered their heads with ashamed looks on their faces.
Yes.
They are choosing a shameful escape out of fear.
"Besides, we don't really have anywhere to escape to."
At the side, a demon god with blue hair and skin color of a dead person said.
"Many planets in the solar system have been eaten away. There is no place for us to stand anymore."
"If we seek life in more remote areas... it is meaningless."
The nearest Alpha Centauri system is light-years away from the solar system.
There are exactly two stars in that galaxy that are similar to our sun, as well as a small, dim red dwarf.
The prototype of the famous Three-Body Planet is a planet in this cruel galaxy.
The planet Cybertron in Transformers is also in this galaxy.
The wandering star’s hometown is most likely the Alpha Centauri system.
The journey is so long that it would take the Trisolarans 450 years to arrive. The environment is so harsh that it is estimated that only Cybertronians can survive there, and they may directly crash into the base camp of the wandering planet.
Going to the Alpha Centauri system is not a good option.
As for the more distant galaxies...not dying on the way is victory.
"I can't escape, and I can't flee."
