I became the old one

Chapter 206 Forerunners (two chapters in one)

In the depths of the dark universe, in the vast void, a huge oval battleship is slowly moving forward.

The warship was enormous, and seemed to be formed of shimmering crystals.The exterior is covered with a thick layer of metal-like armor, and in the center is an energy well that spouts light and flames, towering high and towering like a mountain.The lines on the hull are criss-crossed, and the sky is constantly illuminated by electric lights.

Above the ship, a huge black energy spar is suspended.

Thick chains that require dozens of people to embrace are wrapped around the suspended black energy spar, and the ends are firmly welded to the black armor of the battleship.While moving in the void, the black energy spar buzzed and vibrated above the energy well, and hundreds of chains wrapped around it also made rattling sounds at the same time, and a dull and chilling atmosphere seemed to blow towards the face.

Inside the battleship.

The Navigator of the Fire Spirit tribe is passing through the auspicious bird.

Although Huo Jing's space navigation technology is very mature, moving forward in the void is still accompanied by various dangers.

Changes in the laws of physics caused by the subspace, nameless monsters lurking in the darkness, and high-heat materials erupted from the stars... Every crisis is enough to kill this expensive Tempest-class warship in a sea of ​​flames.

"Drip drip!"

A beep from the auspicious instrument caught the navigator's attention.

The navigator looked towards the three-dimensional projection of the auspicious instrument, and the destination of the trip, planet Mine No. [-], appeared in front of him.

Planet Mine [-] is as desolate and dead as ever, with a thick atmosphere covering the crimson star, and below the atmosphere are vast deserts and huge canyons.

but…

This time, compared with the data in the records.

There are obviously some unexpected changes on the planet Mine Pit [-].

"This is... a city?"

The navigator rubbed his eyes, looked carefully at the screen on the augury instrument, and made sure that he was not mistaken.

After thinking for a while, he passed the news to General Cyrus, the commander-in-chief of the battleship.Subsequent plans require General Sellers to make detailed arrangements.

Dodge, cooperate, kill...

To deal with a new civilization, there are nothing more than these three choices.

Fire spirits have the power to devour memory, knowledge and blood talent, and it is precisely because of this talent that fire spirits are called space man-eating sharks by some races.

In past experience, the probability of the fire spirits making the third choice is far greater than the sum of the first two choices.

Moreover, judging from the scene transmitted by the bird divination instrument, the traces of civilization that appeared on the planet Mine Pit [-] seem to be underdeveloped.

The navigator seems to have foreseen the cruel end of those low civilizations.

He couldn't help a grin on the corner of his mouth.

Navigating in the universe for a long time is a boring thing, and you must always keep your spirits tight.I don't know how many unlucky people have gone crazy due to long-term depression during the voyage.

For a low-level fire spirit like him, a brutal and crazy slaughter is a good way to relieve stress.

Boom boom boom!
Accompanied by the sound of heavy footsteps, the figure of General Cyrus appeared behind the iron gate.

It took less than 10 minutes from when the auspicious instrument delivered the information to when General Sellers arrived in person.Obviously, the general attaches great importance to this matter.

"Show me those pictures." Cyrus said in a deep voice.

Ordinary fire spirits are between 1.8 meters and two meters tall, while General Sellers is close to three meters tall, and he is still covered with thick armor, with only his head exposed.

An invisible sense of oppression emanated from General Sellers.

The navigator felt a chill running down his spine, he didn't dare to say anything more, and hurriedly operated the bird divination instrument to present the pictures captured before.

General Sellers looked at the screen on the auspicious instrument and did not speak for a long time.

until a tick.

The navigator looked down, only to see that it was the general's saliva dripping on the iron floor, and there was a fine corrosion sound.

"They are not the aborigines on Planet Mine [-], but outsiders." General Cyrus asked, "A civilization with a low level of development can travel across the stars, you know what it means ?"

"This means that they can have a strong subspace affinity physique?" The navigator replied tremblingly.

"That's right!"

General Sellers wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and greedily said: "Such a race is delicious to us fire spirits... If we can complement this power and talent from their blood, then we will become The hero of the entire fire spirit tribe."

"Turn around and go full speed!"

General Sellers gave the order, then turned and left from the small navigation room.

……

Norland world.

After being appeased by the goddess Elgani, Kratos' restless thoughts finally calmed down a little.

The goddess showed Kratos a path, but Kratos didn't go immediately.Even though he is no longer the god king in the Olympus pantheon, Kratos is still the top new god.

Possesses powerful strength and almost infinite life.

Time is not a precious thing for Kratos.

He first left from the ice field and spent a period of time traveling the Eastern Continent, and then returned to his hometown across the ocean.

Thousands of years have passed.

The Oedbes River still flows on the vast land, and the river is as fast and surging as ever.But the scenery along the river bank was no longer what Kratos remembered.

Those ancient city-states, even the gods of Olympus, were buried in history.

Stroll above the homeland of the hometown.

Kratos felt like a ghost from ancient times...he was a god, but he was raised as a human.Such contradictions accompanied his growth, until now they have been completely detonated.

Let Kratos fall into unprecedented confusion.

"This is no longer my hometown." Kratos finally sighed.

He tore up the space barrier in front of him and entered the subspace.

In the chaotic and boundless subspace, under the crimson sky, a road burning with golden flames was born from the world of Norland, spreading towards the depths of the void, until it surpassed the end of Kratos's perception.

"Is this the way of the saints?"

Kratos descended upon the blazing flames.

The great primordial fire once used his will to reshape Kratos' body, and now Kratos has the same blood as the dragonborn.

Standing on the Way of the Saints, with fire burning his hairy chest.

These flames full of ancient power did not bring him any painful feeling, on the contrary, it made Kratos feel as if he was bathing in a hot spring, and his whole body seemed to be washed from body to soul.

"I have heard about the deeds of the forerunners. The first forerunner is the current dragon-born king Abijah. I didn't expect him to manipulate his power to such an extent. It's really amazing."

Kratos is also quite a proud person.

But after concentrating on feeling the power contained in the path of saints, there is a sense of admiration in his voice.

He also studied hard for a period of time under the guidance of Achilles, the leader of the school at that time, a thousand years ago, knowing that the road was full of ups and downs and reached the peak.

Every step forward is accompanied by great terror.

A mortal can step into the realm of the forerunner, to some extent, is enough to be called a god.

Of course, Abijah's talent and perseverance are the key factors for his current achievements.

But it is also because he stood on the shoulders of giants. The experience accumulated by practitioners over the past thousand years has provided important help for Abija's success.

And behind this incident, Kratos also noticed some layout of the goddess and Yulin.

in a sense.

Kratos is actually a member of the gods in the Dragonborn system.

The goddess once mentioned to Kratos that if he wanted to, she didn't mind sharing the faith of mortals with him.He can become the god of war in the current dragonborn mythology system.

In the universe, peace is always as short-lived as the epiphyllum.

And war is the eternal theme of the universe.

If he is willing to become the God of War, the belief that Kratos has gained must be quite a lot, and his own strength can also be used to make a breakthrough.

It's just that although Kratos respects the wisdom of the goddess and is grateful for the help of the goddess over the years.Kratos doesn't think the goddess and feathered dragon are on the right path.

He believed that the power unearthed from physical treasures was not necessarily weaker than the power gained from faith.

Even weak mortals can rely on penance to become pioneers in their short lives.

As a half-human, half-god being, Kratos believed he was capable of greater heights.More importantly, Kratos has been living as a human from birth to the present.

He couldn't bring himself into the perspective of the gods, nor did he intend to.

Kratos rejected the goddess' suggestion.

At this time, he was walking alone on the blazing road of saints, setting off towards the end of the road with a constant frequency.

The path of saints is endless, while the laws of time and space in the subspace are chaotic and constantly changing.The passage of time has been impossible to accurately record.

After a month or a whole year, the light finally appeared in front of Kratos.

With a leap, Kratos tore through the barrier of the subspace with absolute power and appeared in the real universe.

……

Coming from the subspace to the physical universe, the change of space dimension brought Kratos a brief sense of dizziness.

Relying on his strong physique, this dizziness disappeared from his body in the blink of an eye.

In front of him was a sandstorm that covered the sky and the sun, and the huge sandstorm rushed towards his face like an endless tsunami.The entire sky was gray, and under the gust of wind, the fine sand and dust hit Kratos's face and chest like bullets... There was a dense crackling sound.

Kratos looked around and perceived rolling low hills not far away.

"In the ancient years, there may have been rolling mountains here, but unfortunately those huge mountains have also been smoothed by the wind and sand day after day." Such thoughts emerged in Kratos' mind.

The wind and sand can flatten the mountains, but it can't shake Kratos.

Kratos walked forward in the face of the rapid sandstorm, and the sound of wind and sand blowing by was like a ghost crying in his ears.

Sandstorms come and go quickly.About half an hour later, the raging sandstorm dissipated slowly, and the scenery in front of him suddenly opened up, and Kratos found himself standing on a raised high ground.

In the low-lying part in front, the prototype of a city has been established.

Dragonborn and humans coming and going shuttled through the wide streets of the city, and some colorful decorations were hung on the railings and door frames, bringing a little festive atmosphere to this khaki city.

In the center of the city, there is an open space used as a square.

At this time, in this open space, the priests are busy building a simple altar.

Since the establishment of the Dragonborn Dynasty, every major event has been inseparable from the figure of the gods. Today, sacrifices have been integrated into all aspects of the life and customs of the Dragonborn.

Certain faithful believers offer their thanks and prayers to the Primordial Fire and to the Harvest-bringing Feathered Serpent, even before eating daily.

Kratos did not rush into this humble city.

From the way of the saints to this strange planet, everything he saw was new to Kratos.

In his heart, there was a feeling that this trip was worthwhile, and he simply folded his hands, sitting on the high ground overlooking the people coming and going in the city, waiting for the priests to complete this simple but solemn ceremony.

Kratos was patient.

The busy priests didn't finish the work until the sun was slanting eastward.

During this period, Kratos also discovered a very interesting thing.The sun on this planet does not rise in the east and set in the west, but rises in the west and sets in the east.

"Maybe it's because the rotation directions of Planet Lagnia and Planet Norland are different?"

Kratos guessed.

After a busy day, the simple altar was finally completed in the square.

The golden flame was burning fiercely on the altar, and the phantom of the god was faintly displayed in the bright firelight.There is also oxygen on the Lagnia planet, but it is very thin, and it must not be able to support the rapid burning of the flames.

Fortunately, the burning power of the flame does not come from some physical entities, but from the power flowing in the blood of the dragonborn.

Today's Dragonborn dynasty has a population of hundreds of millions.

With such a large population base, the number of powerful practitioners will naturally increase significantly.

On the planet Grania, in this humble city, most of the dragon descendants are cultivators of the third level of the apocalypse, and their strength is inhumanly strong enough to allow them to survive in various harsh environments .

"God spread the North Pole in the air, and hung the earth in the void;

Wrapped water in dense clouds, but the clouds never broke;
shaded his throne and poured water upon it;
Draw boundaries around the water's surface, till light meets dark;
The pillars of heaven were shaken by his rebuke, and by his power he stirred up the sea..."

The priests danced around the bonfire with pious expressions, and the ancient ballads echoed under the red light of the great sun. The content of the ballads recorded the story of the gods creating the world and dividing the chaos in the original era.

Kratos' eyes fell on the tallest dragon priest in the front.

The figure of this priest is almost the same as that of Kratos. With a height of more than five meters, he can be regarded as a well-deserved giant in today's dragon-born society.The muscles all over his body swelled, and the traces of scales on his skin were very light, but instead revealed a rock-like rough texture, and a fierce breath emanated from him.

Compared with the ferocious body, the expression on this person's face is pious and gentle.

Even in Kratos' eyes, the dragonborn's appearance can be described as handsome and gentle.

The huge contrast between body shape and appearance left a deep impression on Kratos when he saw this person for the first time.

"Puno, the forerunner, the brother of King Abijah, is also the person in charge of this outpost city." Thanks to the memory and knowledge generously shared with Kratos by the goddess.

When seeing this person, information about Puno appeared in Kratos' consciousness.

Today it is today.

In the huge dragonborn dynasty, the number of pioneers is only a handful.

Every pioneer is qualified to be noticed by the goddess.

The sacrificial ceremony came to an end unconsciously. With a smile on his face, Puno kindly shared the roasted meat with every brother and compatriot present.

The planet Lagnia is far away from the world of Norland, and it would be unimaginable to consume resources to transport supplies to this planet.For the personnel on this outpost, there are obviously not many opportunities to eat delicious food.

Sharing fine wine and barbecue, amidst the sound of ancient songs, the ceremony of the celebration gradually reached its climax.

Kratos swallowed, and was about to stand up and join the feast.

But right now.

A roaring sound came from the distant sky, and the storm that had just calmed down was set off again, even more violently.When the howling hurricane came to a standstill, a spectacle unimaginable by ordinary people appeared on the surface of the planet.

A huge, pitch-black, ferocious steel creation like a magic mountain is suspended above the city.

With a domineering attitude, it demonstrates its own strength.
