How do I break the team invitation from my old enemy?

Lan Yan confirmed that his younger brother was safe and sound except that he was in a coma. Looking around, the magicians were floating in twos and threes, more or less injured: "It seems that we missed a very exciting battle."

Lin Wei's expression was indescribable.

The judgment fell to his side: "Is it okay?"

"Fortunately," Lin Wei said, "maybe need to rest for a while."

He took out three crystal balls, with light spots of different colors shining in them: "They are right here."

Lan Yan has never seen a crystal ball like this before: "What's in it?"

"soul."

##

The magic circle is shining brightly, and the blue water is lying in the middle. In the distance in the sky is the old man in gray robes who is fighting, the God of Judgment and Asa. Like a heavy mountain, against the ice and flowing water of Asa, Mr. Sylvester assisted the old man from a distance, and the crack in space shone with a hideous black light.

It was already a battle that ordinary magic could not participate in. The other two great magicians and many high-level magicians gathered beside Shui Lan, waiting for him to wake up—maybe not, what they were waiting for was not Shui Lan, but flames gods.

Adele smiled and nodded to Lin Wei: "I will help you."

Lin Wei took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and sank into Shui Lan's soul.They have already signed a contract, and what they are waiting for next is for Vulcan to wake up from this body.Lin Wei maintained the spiritual connection at all times, and the group retreated to create a magic attack distance.

With this special body as the link and the magic circle as the trigger, a certain person in the soul star sea who had been sleeping for a long time trembled and returned to consciousness.

The lying person opened his eyes, a barren indifference, looked up, and encountered overwhelming magical attacks.

After knowing the physical nature of the members of the Valley of the Elements generation, you can understand their other terrifying traits besides attack power-very few attacks can cause substantial damage to them, even the spells of great magicians, which also explain After reaching the sky above the Valley of Gale, Asa was only injured but not killed under the impact of the forbidden spell.

——Using an element to attack another group of elements, the damage caused is of course limited.

Vulcan didn't have time to recall the previous events, and the crimson flames surrounded his body, fighting against the magicians - he was able to face the two great magicians and other high-ranking people with his own strength, and he did not lose the wind at all.

But his figure suddenly froze, and a painful expression appeared on his face, feeling the pain from the void.

The magicians fought with him, even though the damage they caused was limited, they were trying to consume his mental power as much as possible, while covering Lin Wei who was not far away.

What Lin Wei is doing at this time is squeezing another soul with one soul in the same body. He and Shui Lan echo each other through a contract to create trouble for Vulcan, and when Vulcan's soul is weak—then forcibly end it. Qi, the strength of the soul of this god is not comparable to that of Juanyu.

Vulcan finally found him. A non-elemental magician appeared on the battlefield. He must not be an alchemist, but a psychic.His eyes were sharp, and the flames broke through the barriers and headed towards Lin Wei.

Lin Wei couldn't move, this level of soul manipulation didn't allow the slightest distraction.

The defensive magic of Geral, the elemental elf, was burnt through by the meteor-like fire rain, and the singing of other magicians was a little bit worse-seeing the fire rain converging into a sea of ​​flames to engulf Lin Wei, a silver light came from afar, Kungu Neil clanked and stood in front of Lin Wei. The flame passed by here and was divided into two strands, leaving Lin Wei unable to engulf it.

With this moment of safety, the defensive magic was strengthened again, and the oracle fell to Lin Wei's side, took him up, and dealt with Vulcan.

Judgment's magic is not as powerful as Vulcan's magic, but it is extremely cold, extremely sharp, and fast enough to be difficult to capture.

Kungunil, who can attack from close range and from a distance, also caused trouble for Vulcan.But the magician also noticed that when he saw the spear, he froze for a moment.

Lin Wei handed over all the control of his body to Juanyu, and let him fly around with him. The fluctuation of magic power affected his mental power. He suddenly realized that the power of Juanyu was stronger than that of Gale Valley. When I went to Asa, the god of water, I was not at the same level again—but only a few days had passed.He didn't even feel this way when he was in the imperial capital three days ago. It was as if the magician's strength had jumped several times overnight, and now he could be evenly matched with the normal Vulcan!

The dark golden light fell on Vulcan's head, and he also used magic to counteract it, but at the moment of meeting, he said: "Lang..."

Lin Wei's attention went back to his soul in a flash, and he didn't hear what he said clearly.

Suddenly, an icy blue ice pick was thrust horizontally across the sides of the two of them, and then they were imprisoned by the ice cage again. It was Asa who also joined the battle here, and the old man arrived immediately.

The fierce battle seems to never end, and the sky is boundless and silently full of huge flowers of various colors. If the essence is not clear, it can almost be regarded as a grand carnival.

Vulcan's soul is weakening, and his mental power is depleted—right now!

Lin Wei's soul tentacles were dormant in Shui Lan's soul. At this time, he stretched out suddenly and bit the Vulcan's soul light group fiercely. No matter how the light group screamed and struggled, it would not let go. The contract was engraved on the soul light group , It's almost like the notch of a sharp knife edge.

Of course, the Vulcan in the real world understood what happened. He let out a roar, and a sea of ​​flames exploded all over his body, even pulling the void a little bit.The sea of ​​flames spread, silently taking away the lives of several high-ranking magicians. As soon as they touched the flames, their bodies began to be scorched black, and they would be burned to ashes in the next moment—they all burned themselves before this moment without exception. God rushed over.

Lin Wei was led to jump high, he had no time to consider his own situation, a few soul tentacles firmly bound Vulcan's soul, and forcibly carved a contract.

On the soul level, even Vulcan could do nothing, his soul roared unwillingly and anxiously, and was finally restrained layer by layer, but the original soul of the body became stronger and stronger with the help of the master of the tentacles of the soul, and expelled itself.

As soon as he got out of the body, he was bound into the soul crystal.

"I'm really afraid that you won't dissipate in the sea of ​​souls obediently, but find another place to hibernate, so I have to wrong you and wait." Lin Wei put away the soul crystal, and Asa was very angry, but because the old man The offensive could not escape, and even if Lin Wei consumed a lot, it was not time to rest, and they still had two gods to deal with.

After listening to this narration, Lan Yan looked at the soul crystal: "So, you got the soul of God?"

"It can't be said that, they are just talented magicians 1000 years ago," Lin Weidao: "Their soul strength is not that high, it is almost the same as the strength of water blue, and it is higher than ordinary magicians - these Souls are of no use to us, we can only force a contract and imprison them in a crystal ball, my soul power is not enough to dissipate them."

"The strange thing is that when I signed the contract with them, I didn't encounter soul backlash. This happened when I signed the contract with Sandra—and Shui Lan and the others before."

He felt that the soul fragments of the dark goddess were at work, or that the soul structure of these gods was very different from that of the current human race.

When forming a bond with Sandra, the dragon's bright soul light group carefully probed, there were many dark places and holes, and the bond was hindered, and it took a lot of strength to relieve it.The same goes for Shui Lan and Alan.The same situation also appeared in Juanyu—the pain Lin Wei encountered during the process of forming a bond with him, some came from the great suppression of the strength of the soul, and the other was the dark structure of the soul.

But the souls of each of the "gods" are completely bright, and the deed seals fall without hindrance, which is really puzzling.

"Then we can deal with the Goddess of Light in the same way?"

"Obviously not." Lin Wei shook his head.

"She is not the same as these gods—it is not at the same level at all. In front of the goddess of light, these guys are not even qualified to be called gods."

"The strength of our souls is like the light of stars, there are strong and weak among them, ordinary humans are the weakest, magicians are a little stronger, members of the Valley of Elements like Shui Lan are brighter, and gods are similar to them. But the stars No matter how bright it is, it's just a star." Lin Wei looked forward: "And she is like the sun."

Lan Yan took a light breath.

Lin Wei directly crossed the "moon" and referred to the goddess of light as the "sun".

"I also have a question. We have five valleys of elements, but no valley of light elements, and the goddess of light does not have a body for resurrection—could she create a body out of thin air?" Daniel said.

"I don't think they are the same kind of existence at all." Lin Wei looked at Adrichig.

"It's not wrong to say that," Adrisig didn't look at him, but kept staring at the increasingly dazzling light on the goddess statue.

"Light elements and dark elements have always been surging high in the sky. They have nothing to do with the natural elements below. They are not the cause of elemental storms. But we are trying to suppress her at all costs, and even use 'Quilling' to set up a net. Darkness The magic that was so prosperous in the era suddenly declined at a certain time, and the knight civilization disappeared completely—all because of our suppression of her and the suppression of the elemental storm.”

Lin Wei listened quietly.This time, Adrichig's tone was different from the past, it was completely determined, without the slightest smile.

"I want to kill her completely before her power recovers—not referring to spiritual power, magic power, or soul power. The source of her power is beyond your imagination."

The old man glanced at Adrihiger with a complicated expression, and he waved to the magicians outside. The magicians gathered and stood on the back of the dragon, listening to the mysterious silver-robed man in the high-altitude wind. .

"Lin Wei, tell me." Adrihiger suddenly asked: "What is the source of the power of the Holy Lance Longinus?"

The scene he saw in the Valley of Sharp Gold emerged in his mind.

"Belief."

"The holy gun has been feeding with thousands of knights with strong beliefs for a long time, creating a brilliant knight civilization." Adrichig said: "Hey Ti, now you tell me that what your mother taught Great prophecy, what is the first thing to remember?"

"Rules are not supreme."

Adrihiger nodded, and continued: "In addition to the great magician and the high-level magician, our lifelong magic training is to touch the existence of rules, sense him, use it, and even surpass it. "

Some magicians showed doubts on their faces—why did they mention the rules at this time?

"The great magician can sense the trajectory of the rules. The gods we defeated before have reached the stage of using the rules due to their excellent element manipulation ability, and the goddess of light we are about to face." He paused, then continued: "In a sense, she has stepped outside the rules."

These words made the magicians involuntarily fear: "What is her strength?"

"Since the first tower master, in order to allow you to live on the cleanest and freest land, such a truth has been concealed in history. But I said it today to give you a sense of the disparity in strength, but still want to move forward Reason." Adrichig's eyes softened, as if he was looking at a group of children.

"Different magicians tend to have different schools of magic theory, and the real theory of the Astrologer believes that there are no rules in this world."

His voice was far away, as if it came from the end of the unknown time, and it was about to reach the clouds and the sky.

"We have such a hypothesis - the birth of the continent, the emergence of magical elements, they attack, repel, and wear off each other, some completely disappear, some survive, they have been honing in for a long time, and finally figured out a little bit of peaceful coexistence. The way, so With the elements of stability, with the soil where magic is bred. It's like a country that gradually finds a stable way to move forward in the initial turmoil-so we think that everything is like this, growth and withering, birth and death. Death, the trajectory of the flow of elements, the sun and stars in the sky. It is not rules that define everything, but everything creates rules in the process of moving forward.”

Lin Wei once again thought of Adrihiger's hourglass room on the top floor of the Astrology Tower, and remembered his great prophecy - establishing a set of self-consistent rules within the controllable range.

His current discourse on "rules" is like a set of hourglasses in chaos, finally revising itself over and over again in a long attempt to establish balance and stability.

This makes sense, Imperial Scholars have made similar remarks when discussing history... and then?What is he trying to say?

"All this points to a bold fact that the rules are everything on this continent, all the elements, mountains, rivers and buildings, and each of us - we are all part of the rules." Slowly said: "A certain ancient wise magician first proposed this. He wanted to do an experiment to verify it. He succeeded, so he had the Holy Lance Longinus. He proved that people are part of the rules, and people's will It is the will of the rules, and when the will is pure and strong to a certain extent, we call it faith—faith itself becomes power, just like the power given to knights by the Holy Lance."

"However, there has never been a word about the origin of the holy gun in history. I think that the great pioneer finally realized a terrible fact. He concealed his comprehension and his own experimental results permanently and forever, and disappeared in the time. in the dust."

"It's a good thing—why?" a magician asked doubtfully.

"I'm guessing this way because I would have done it under the same circumstances. And in fact, at the end of the dark ages, that's what people are doing."

The magicians stopped talking, realizing that a dusty truth was about to surface, and listened carefully.

"The secret has been buried for many years. During this process, knights prospered, magic prospered, and gods whose strength surpassed all others began to be born. This secret was finally discovered by someone else."

"Faith gives knights power, and it also makes the power of the Holy Lance Longinus eternal and stable, and Longinus is only a utensil after all. If, if - a person has the faith offered by others, what will happen to him? powerful?"

Lin Wei's heart gradually became clear. This is the second version of Aldrich's old story about the dark age. It is similar to the first one, but more cruel than it.

In the first story, what the goddess of light wants is eternal life, and in the second story, what she wants is power beyond the rules, and in order to obtain this power...

"Thus, a god in the true sense appeared, not the elemental gods like Asa and Dirichlet, but the Goddess of Light who walked around the continent, spreading light and benevolence, and getting people to bow down and worship her. Her followers are all over the continent, She thus gained the power of faith."

The magicians almost forgot to breathe.

"But it still doesn't work, just relying on the strength of the believers, it still doesn't work. There is something missing in this world that makes it difficult for people to surrender their faith." Adrihiger's voice was almost heartless at this time: "She thought about it, what is missing It is suffering, it is despair—if you can give people hope in despair, they will give their faith without hesitation."

"She is smart and understands the best and most direct way to ignite the flames of war that seem to never go out, first spread the suffering, then give salvation, and finally gain faith—a faith that does not distinguish between races, strong or weak."

"Until the Dark Goddess disappears on the entire continent with the dark elements, and the storm of elements devours everything, and her most glorious era has come, what more suffering can there be than this? ——The heaviest suffering corresponds to the brightest The brightest redemption in exchange for the most pure faith, even though all these sufferings were caused by her alone."

"People watched the goddess become stronger and stronger, and became more loyal to her until death. They thought that God created man, but they didn't know that man created God."

It is man who created God—Adrihiger ends with this sentence.

"Then, those who are still awake gather together to launch a war between gods and humans, sacrifice countless sacrifices, and finally suppress the goddess?" Lin Wei asked.

"We can only suppress, her power is too strong," Adrihiger traced the sky with his eyes: "She finally fell asleep, we rebuild our homeland, erase history, gods become fairy tales, and the rules cannot be surpassed. Once, we paid We could have chosen to coexist with the goddess just like that, but we didn't. All the blood and sacrifices thousands of years ago were just for us to be able to live as we are now - no paranoid beliefs, no beliefs required, No redemption is needed."

"And today we are here to end her life once and for all, even though many people will die for it."

He glanced at everyone present and asked softly, "Are you willing to pay for this?"
