Eternal Punishment Dragon in Prison

Chapter 150 The Secret of the Gods

"Taiji?"

Murphy was shocked when he heard the name.

For ordinary mortals, perhaps the most terrifying thing is the demons summoned to the material plane as the will of the abyss descends.

Or those devils who try every possible means to lure themselves into signing a contract.

But for those immortal beings in the multiverse.

Such as demons, angels, demons, elemental beings and other alien creatures.

Or a powerful being among mortal things, a legendary spellcaster. .

Even the gods who dominate the multiverse.

Destiny is their greatest enemy.

Even if the devil claims to win the bloody battle, it will sweep across the multiverse and destroy everything.

But in the foreseeable future, this situation will not happen.

There really needs to be the slightest sign.

All powerful beings in the future will stop it.

Nip this hint of hope in the cradle.

But the fate is different.

Destiny itself is the future and the past.

It can determine that a mortal being is destined to climb the highest mountain and stand in the realm of the gods since birth.

It can also be determined that when a god is born, he is destined to be the future god king.

It can even determine the life or death of a pantheon.

Any being who tries to reverse fate, even a god, will eventually have no choice but to face death.

Taiji is from the Olympus pantheon.

The goddess of destiny.

His power may not be the greatest.

It can even be called weak.

But His power is terrifying.

Even powerful gods cannot defeat Ni.

This is also a very strange thing.

Destiny is powerful though.

But the gods in charge of it are generally considered to be average.

Even if there are occasionally powerful gods.

But there has never been a God who dominates everything and transcends everything.

This seems to indicate the limit of fate.

So it is not so much that these gods control destiny.

It would be better to say that they acted on behalf of destiny.

There is no real destiny.

"Yes, it's Tai Ji."

Piqué said affirmatively: "You may be wondering how we came to confront this god."

"After all, no matter how we look at it, we in Casserly cannot be related to the goddess in the unrestrained wilderness."

"But if I say Oceanus."

"Have you thought of something?"

Oceanus belongs to the ancient Titan god, one of the powerful gods sealed in Kaserli by Zeus.

Murphy heard this and said: "You mean the rumor that Tai Ji is the daughter of Oceanus is true?"

In the current mythology of the multiverse.

Tai Ji is the daughter of Zeus.

He has three aspects in the Olympian pantheon, namely Clotho who weaves the thread of life, Lachesis who distributes the degrees of life, and Atropos who withdraws the thread of life.

These three people are also called Ward, Verdani, and Skold in the Aesir pantheon, representing the past, present, and future respectively.

In the Faerûnian pantheon, there are two aspects, namely Tymora, who is in charge of luck, and Benshaba, who is in charge of misfortune.

But no matter how many identities there are.

He is just a god, that is Taiji.

That is, the daughter of Zeus.

However, in older, less well-known mythology, the goddess was actually the daughter of Oceanus.

Of course, no matter how my father changes.

They all have one mother, that is Themis.

In the eyes of mortals, ideas such as cuckolds and takers may arise.

Or it can be used as historical evidence for the integration of nations and cultures.

The latter statement is indeed true in a sense.

After all, sometimes the gods want to spread their faith.

They will weave various myths and promote their relationship with the gods of their native place.

Such an act of deception.

Even some kind gods are not exempt from vulgarity.

For example, Lathander, the Lord of the Dawn, once claimed that the fallen sun god Amaunator was his aspect.

Even among some of His sects, He is believed to have a trinity relationship with Amaunata and Cyric.

This view is certainly not mainstream.

Order, chaos, neutrality, good, evil, mixed together.

It's just a big pot of random stew, it's really impossible.

But it can also be seen from it that for faith.

The good God does not mind deception.

Therefore, the complexity of mythology has no unified explanation at all in the eyes of mortals.

Only the gods who have personally experienced the changes in the outer planes can possibly understand the true full picture of the matter.

"Murphy, what do you think divine power is? And what is the relationship between the gods?"

Facing Peak's question, Murphy's eyes flashed: "I understand what you mean. The so-called 'origin' of gods only describes the relationship between them."

"Not relatives in the actual sense of mortals."

"Under certain circumstances, their identities can actually change."

If Murphy becomes a god and supports Otilia, then Otilia will be Murphy's daughter in the eyes of mortals.

Otilia's real parents will remain unknown.

This is the simplest example.

Seeing Pique nodding, Murphy continued: "But I still can't explain why we faced Taiji."

"No matter how you look at it, even if Tai Ji was the daughter of Oceanus."

"But now she must be the daughter of Zeus."

"Why did He come to Casserly, and why do we have anything to do with Him?"

"It can't be Taiji trying to rescue Oceanus, right?"

This statement is very funny.

Let’s not talk about the cruelty of Oceanus itself.

Just say that Zeus is not dead, how could he allow this to happen?

Peake chuckled and said: "You are really right. His purpose is really to rescue Oceanus, and he is migrating to the Kingdom of God."

"Heading towards Casserly."

Murphy was shocked when he heard this.

Although the words of the Lord of Dreams made him understand the previous mystery, who was migrating from the Kingdom of God to Kaserli.

But at the same time, it also brought him more confusion.

Peake continued: "As for us, why did we provoke him? Think carefully about where the Titan God was sealed and where Xi Tu was sealed.

"And what is your purpose?"

Murphy's goal is naturally to perfect the [Incarnation of the Mystical Spirit] and achieve immortality.

As for the path Bahamut leads.

That was always an option for Murphy.

And if you want to perfect the [Incarnation of Arcane Spirit], you cannot do without a plan.

Although in Abosi's mouth, Xitu is a loser.

But for Murphy now, the current plan is of great value and is a very meaningful reference object.

And this time he agreed to Uruchmo to rescue Canstat, and he also had the intention of searching for the plan.

"Pique, I understand what you mean."

"The location of the plan is located at the sealing place of the Titan God."

"Even if he was able to complete the fusion of spiritual energy, arcane magic, and spiritual energy, it was with the help of the Titan God."

When Murphy said this, a surprising idea suddenly came to his mind.

Maybe he understands a little bit.

Which god trapped Apos, the demon of Banaros, in the heart of the plane and asked him to supervise the plan.

And who developed the Mother River Plan.

The Gray Wilderness is the plane where the demons of Banaros live in seclusion.

Also known as Hades of the Gray Wilderness.

As the name suggests, Hades, the Lord of the Underworld, has a strong influence in that plane.

He lived in Pluto and cared little for the things of Olympus.

Remains neutral in most situations.

But He is always paying attention to the Titan gods sealed in Casserly.

Maybe Hades is hiding some unknown secret.

"But what's your purpose?"

Murphy said to Peake: "So far, I still don't know why you have been stranded in Casserly for thousands of years."

In an even longer time ago, the Casselian Mage Alliance had opened a channel to the outside world.

And with the strength of the Lord of Dreams, he can naturally leave easily.

But he has been stranded in Casserly.

This is undoubtedly a confusing thing.

For a legendary mage who can cross planes at will.

Casserly is a prison.

And the prisoners are being held here.

In the material plane, most people have things that they cannot let go of.

Whether it's revenge or something else.

So much so that they tried every possible means to get out.

"me?"

"Actually, it couldn't be simpler. Many existences think my idea is too complicated."

"Thought I was formulating all kinds of conspiracies."

"Or it has some amazing purpose."

"Actually, the reason why I don't leave Casserly is very simple."

"That means I will die if I leave Casserly, and die miserably."

"In order not to die, I naturally choose to stay here."

Murphy understood instantly.

It turns out that as the most powerful mage in Casserly, the Lord of Dreams also has his own troubles.

He had long seen his inevitable fate.

So I stayed in Casselili.

Pique continued: "To break the restrictions of fate, in addition to ascending to immortality and rewriting fate with great strength."

"There is another possibility, which is to get help from gods with the priesthood of destiny."

"Unfortunately, I am not very familiar with these gods."

"They don't recognize me either."

"In addition, it is too difficult for me to complete the epic destiny."

"Then the only way out is to seize some of the power of the gods."

"And Taiji happens to have this ability."

Murphy sneered when he heard this: "You don't think you have the ability to defeat gods, do you?"

"This is the outer plane."

"It's not the material plane."

"With our strength, we have never been able to defeat those incarnations of weak divine power in the material plane, and even saints with weak divine power and medium divine power."

"And we are in the outer plane now. It is not much easier to defeat the gods than it is for you to ascend to immortality."

Unless the gods forcibly descend into the material world in their true form.

Otherwise, as beings of the same status as the Source Sea, they will inevitably be suppressed by the Source Sea in the material world.

These suppressions make no difference to most mortal things.

But for those powerful mages, there is the possibility of defeating the gods.

Of course, even if the more powerful gods are suppressed, their foundation is strong enough, and they will still be extremely powerful no matter how weakened they are.

Pique laughed loudly: "But we succeeded. In the future, we have already defeated Taiji and successfully obtained what we want."

"To rewrite the timeline."

"That's why there's reversal of time."

"The Cambert Psychic Association thought it was time for them to take the initiative to reverse course."

"Little did they know that it was actually Tai Ji who took advantage of the situation."

"Leverage their hands to travel back in time."

"Rearrange the plan and try to defeat us."

Rewriting the timeline is a way to fight above legends.

One thing to note here is.

No matter what the final timeline is locked into.

Each timeline actually existed when it was revealed.

This existence includes from the beginning of the multiverse to the end of the multiverse.

The amount of information contained is also a history of the multiverse.

Although this history may eventually be abandoned.

Eventually it became an illusion.

But it also really existed.

Therefore, Murphy will not feel that he is a voter of Bahamut.

It has been successful historically.

Bahamut did not help him lock the timeline.

It's very possible that the timeline he exists now is a confrontation before the real history is locked.

This sounds very cruel.

Everything is false.

Only waiting for those powerful beings to determine the truth.

Of course, for ordinary people.

There is actually no difference.

No matter how history changes, they never know it.

Not to mention that history is optional.

I don't understand the horror of this either.

But for beings like Murphy, they will feel an unspeakable pain.

Everything in the world is like a dream.

It is a colorful dream.

The so-called efforts and the so-called struggles are nothing but the will of others.

So Murphy knows all this.

Even if you die, you will ascend to immortality.

Not ascending to immortality.

You can never escape this illusion.

Grasp your own truth.

Even initial immortality is fragile to greater beings.

But this is just the difference between babies and adults.

"It's a part of Tai Ji, the complete Tai Ji. We can't defeat Him in the outer plane no matter what."

Murphy was not frightened by Peake's words: "Even with the protection of the Olympus divine system, even if Taiji's power is greatly damaged and she falls into eternal sleep, we can't even enter his divine kingdom."

Pique grinned and said: "Part of it, that's Tai Ji too."

"Even if this part is part of Oceanus."

Murphy knew that the main event was finally here.

What Peake is going to talk about next may be about the deepest mysteries of the gods.

"Teleport her away."

"These things are not something she can know." Murphy nodded. The Lord of Dreams was referring to Otilia.

Although in this space node, only his consciousness and that of the Lord of Dreams can maintain thinking and communication.

But some traces will still remain.

It doesn't matter to the strong, but it may have a bad impact on the weak.

When Murphy left some information for Otilia and used a spell to send Otilia to Casserly.

Peake then said: "Murphy, do you know why I have to be in a space node to have a conversation with you?"

Murphy glanced at the space node that had been completely transformed at this moment, and the silver brilliance was completely obscured by hazy colors.

It feels like it's wrapped in a bubble that bursts at the drop of a hat.

"Is it because of Tai Ji?"

In the simulated Kingdom of God designed by Murphy, in addition to power, the most important thing is to shield the cause and effect.

Peake nodded: "Yes, the divinity that can connect the past and the future is very powerful, and there is no way to shield cause and effect."

"Any plans that endanger them will be warned."

"And couldn't succeed."

Murphy said solemnly: "But Taiji is okay, Oceanus is a powerful god, how can the Simulation God be so powerful?"

Pique said nonchalantly: "I don't know. Theoretically it works, but I don't know if it will work specifically."

"But since you said yes, I'll do it."

Murphy naturally knew that Peake was not talking about his "present self", but his future self.

“And we’ve been successful in the future.”

"This also proves that it is feasible to simulate the Kingdom of God."

"There are some special places in the multiverse that are isolated from cause and effect and destiny."

"It is a place that cannot be traversed by the perception of gods."

"The simplest thing is a black hole."

"In that absolute death place, no information can escape once it enters."

"It is also the main reference direction when simulating the creation of the Kingdom of God."

"You were very confident when you created this spell with me."

"He threatened that this place would be the key to our victory or defeat."

Black holes, such extreme celestial objects, not only exist in three-dimensional space, but also in higher-dimensional spaces.

In other words, a black hole in three-dimensional space is only part of its appearance.

Even if the gods who control divine power have modified the upper limit on the speed of light.

But it can only escape those weak black holes.

The escape velocity of a truly powerful black hole is not just slightly faster than the speed of light.

Instead, it requires an unimaginable multiple of the speed of light.

It is so powerful that even divine power cannot modify it.

So that once you enter, you can never come out.

And the extreme physical environment of a black hole.

Can break the legal immunity such as [Eternal Body].

Precisely.

When entering a black hole, the apparent physical and magical laws of the multiverse cease to exist.

They have their own physical laws.

Essentially, they belong to the naturally existing realms of the Kingdom of God.

Therefore, here we can naturally isolate cause and effect and fate.

Of course, being able to enter a black hole and survive unharmed does not require this characteristic.

Those who can't get in can't take advantage of this feature.

Normally, it's called tasteless.

Murphy said: "Thank you for the compliment, so what is the relationship between Oceanus and Tai Ji?"

"And what role does Zeus play in this?"

Peake said: "This has to do with the nature of divinity, Murphy, do you know?"

“In reality, divinity does not arise through reproduction.”

Murphy already somewhat understood what Peake was saying, but still asked: "What do you mean?"

"Aren't there some beings among the gods who are descendants of other gods?"

Peake said: "Mortal objects can eliminate part of the body, replicate and multiply to produce new offspring."

"As a greater god, naturally I can."

"But you have to know that the Godhead is one."

"It is the essence of the gods."

"That is to say, if gods want to reproduce offspring capable of possessing divinity, they must cut off their divinity."

"This is a weakening of the power of the gods."

"It's absolutely not allowed."

"In many myths, there are examples of gods dying after giving birth to offspring."

"That is the result of divinity being divided."

"So much so that some pantheons have even enacted laws prohibiting feelings between gods."

"Even if they give birth to offspring, most of them will choose ordinary offspring."

"Unless they particularly like this offspring, they will not grant divinity."

Just like in Murphy's hometown, heaven prohibits gods and men from falling in love.

Although this is just a myth and legend, it also reflects the unique nature of divinity to a certain extent.

Murphy said: "There should be exceptions."

"In addition to the feeling of loneliness, there should be some reasons that prompt the gods to do this."

"Otherwise, it would be impossible to produce descendants with divine nature?"

"And the divinity of some descendants is not weaker than that of their parents."

Pique smiled and said: "Of course."

"Most gods give birth to offspring for ulterior purposes."

"One of the reasons is to improve one's own strength."

"The best way for gods to improve their strength."

"Naturally, it is to expand His divine power into the multiverse."

"Occupy a share of soul power in the multiverse."

"However, this approach is not endless."

"After reaching a certain point, the gods will have a problem."

"That is, even if they expand to the limit, there are still many blank places in the multiverse."

"This is an area they currently cannot touch."

"For these blanks."

"The greedy gods naturally don't want to let it go."

"So they began to think of ways to involve other fields to enrich the types of their divine power."

"But they discovered that even if they got involved in other fields."

"There are limits to the divine power you can possess."

"Excessive divine power will not only be of no help, but will instead form a burden, a burden that will have serious consequences for them."

Murphy suddenly interrupted: "Is it because of the black hole?"

In magic-free space-time, when a massive celestial body reaches a certain point, it will collapse into a black hole.

Matter and energy are actually one thing.

So in the demonic time and space, when the energy controlled is strong enough.

Collapse will inevitably occur.

Even if the gods have mastered the power of laws.

The upper limit of quality required to make this kind of collapse is extremely high.

But this phenomenon cannot always be avoided.

Because the essence of black holes is the singularity that represents the end of the multiverse.

No god can stop this.

And for the gods.

The occurrence of collapse does not mean death.

But this will trap them, and all information will be locked in the black hole.

Even divinity through the past and future is of no use.

Because the deep layer of a black hole itself has the property of time.

Want to come out successfully.

One can only hope for rescue from a more powerful god.

Or wait until the end of the multiverse.

When all the black holes come together.

Turn into an ultimate singularity.

Waiting for the multiverse to be reopened, matter and energy are scattered everywhere.

Only then can these trapped gods return.

Peake said: "Of course it is. Why do you think those gods have so many faces, and sometimes they also have weak faces and are bullied by others?"

"Is it fun to lose face?"

"You must know that gods also have joy, anger, and sorrow."

"You will also get angry if you are humiliated."

"It's not like they have to act like this."

"If you don't want to turn into a black hole, you can only disperse your power and consciousness, turn into faces, and build your own kingdom of God in various outer planes."

"However, this approach also has its limits."

"Differentiation of Power and Consciousness."

"In fact, it is a severing of divinity."

"If it goes on endlessly."

"One day the individual face will give birth to its own free will."

"Thus eternal separation."

"The gods naturally don't want these powers to be lost."

"Coupled with the gods who have also reached powerful divine power, once they themselves turn into a black hole, no existence except the God above gods can save them."

"So they thought of a new method, which is to completely cut off these uncontrollable divinities."

"Be born into this world as their descendants."

"And they formed a god system, relying on blood connections to continue to occupy the share of soul power in the multiverse."

"So when it reaches this point, the gods will cut themselves."

"The birth of offspring that contains divinity."

"Let these descendants full of divinity occupy the soul power of the multiverse in their place."

Murphy heard what Peake said and thought for a while: "So Tai Ji is actually a god cut out by Oceanus and Themis."

"After Zeus defeated Oceanus, he plundered part of Oceanus' essence."

"So now Tai Ji becomes the daughter of Zeus."

Pique nodded: "Yes, this is the true origin of Tai Ji."

"He has both the mark of Oceanus and a part of Zeus."

"After Taiji left the Olympus pantheon, she joined the Nese pantheon."

"Then imitate other gods."

"With the help of Selun's hand, the two faces of Tymora and Benshaba were differentiated."

"Trying to get into something deeper."

"Taiji also succeeded."

"The divine power has also been upgraded from weak divine power to medium divine power."

"But He also failed."

"Because of the rapid expansion of divine power, He cannot control it."

"On the verge of eternal sleep."

"Of course Zeus can save him, but this means cutting off his divinity, so Taiji is naturally unwilling."

"So I have been holding on and maintaining these appearances."

"This also caused the part of Oceanos to start to move."

"When Tai Ji's condition is normal."

"It's all useless."

"It's a pity that Tai Ji is powerless to stop it now."

"In other words, in order to alleviate his own crisis, He also acquiesced in this situation."

"Since then, a divine power has descended from the Wilderness to Casserly."

"Complete the mission to rescue Oceanus."

"The only pity is that this coming will be stopped by you and me together in the future."

“Thus plundering the gains.”

"So Oceanus re-edited the timeline and even created an organization called the Destiny Weavers to try to stop our actions."

Murphy asked: "Where is Zeus?"

"Why doesn't Zeus care about this?"

"And what about Hades in the Gray Wilderness?"

"Why hasn't anything been done?"

Pique said helplessly: "This is not something I can know."

"Perhaps these great beings are watching."

"I want to see what Oceanus does."

"If He succeeds."

"These great beings will once again modify the timeline and return to a time when nothing happened."

"Do it again."

Murphy was silent. He had already realized that this might be the truth.

To them, a single success of Oceanus was not important.

Even if you give Him success a thousand times.

As long as we can figure out Oceanus' methods.

Then it was enough to seal His fate.

As for the idea of ​​mortal things.

The gods don't care.

"In short, what you and I have to do is to prevent Oceanus from completing the revision of history."

"Accomplishing our goal."

"Otherwise, you and I will both suffer when the time comes."

Murphy said calmly: "Then let's not stop him at all."

Pique sneered: "Do you think it's possible?"

For others, this future is something that has never happened.

But for powerful gods, it is something they have already experienced.

Therefore, there are always some gods who will be inexplicably suspicious of some gods of the same camp.

As a historical enemy of Oceanus.

With the tyranny of the Titans, they will never let Murphy and Peak go once they are out of trouble.

"No, I mean we in this timeline are not trying to stop Oceanus."

Pique's expression changed: "Murphy, do you want to give up?"

"You should understand that it is meaningless for you and me to give up. On the contrary, we may lose the benefits we have obtained."

Since you can't accomplish the goals set by the gods.

Then the gods will not choose you.

They could use another person to carry out the plan.

Of course, maybe not.

Anyway, what happens in the end is not something that Pique and Murphy can know.

But Pique knows one thing very well, and that is to seize every opportunity.

Allowing himself to be the protagonist's timeline can become the ultimate history.

This is also the case for every mortal being who knows the properties of immortality.

Also determined to lead to immortality.

Having a firm will.

Peake originally thought that Murphy was this kind of existence, a partner on the road to immortality, but now Murphy's words made him disappointed.

give up?

Maybe if you give up this time, you will be abandoned by the gods and completely lose the opportunity to become immortal.

"You still misunderstood me, Pique."

"You have also forgotten our fundamental purpose."
