Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 426 Falling to the Earth

Heya seemed to enjoy the process of teasing the little boy Jinli. Facing Mr. Eyeball's aggressive tone, she was always able to cleverly block his questions and make Jinli speechless for a long time.

In fact, as a keyboard warrior, Jinli’s reasons for arguing with people face to face are not ideal.

However, Duan Mingyuan knew that Heya's description of the devil was not meant for Jinli to hear, but was meant to tease him about what he had experienced in the past few days.

The Void Demon used only two methods, modification and control of cognition, to cause the Glorious Universal Company to fall into internal strife and division.

While Jin Li was thinking hard about how to refute Heya, she also took the time to say to Duan Mingyuan, "Although their methods are very different from yours, the effect and purpose are the same, aren't they?"

"It seems that you are ready to share your archaeological experience."

"Not yet, but soon."

Heya looked up at the choir members on the stage. Each of them had a solemn expression, as if they were sacred and inviolable.

"I have heard their chorus on other planets, but not everyone can understand the hymns, not even those who claim to be devout believers. Many of the answers you want to know are hidden in the hymns... Fortunately, you happen to be one of the few 'oddballs' who can understand the hymns."

Duan Mingyuan did not comment on this.

When he heard the hymn for the first time in the court, his consciousness drifted far away.

Be among the stars, face the sun.

Then, in that vague space, he learned the story of the first archbishop of the Ash Empire.

As for why he could understand the mysteries of the church hymns, Duan Mingyuan attributed it to his ability to interpret energy. When he touched the essence of the scorching sun's energy, he naturally listened to the sound flowing among the energy.

But times have changed, and now he has a different understanding.

The reason why he could touch the essence of the sun's energy so easily might be because of his relationship with the Void Demon.

All previous experiments have proved that he has some close connection with the creatures that exist in the void.

The fat worm curled up comfortably in the glass container at this moment is the best proof that it has completely adapted to its new home and is satisfied with its current living environment.

After absorbing enough life energy, its hostility disappeared, replaced by an indescribable sense of closeness.

Although it sounds incredible, Duan Mingyuan feels that he has transformed this parasite into his servant through his life energy.

This also made him understand the strange conditions of those infected.

The hostility comes from their identity. They were originally subordinate to other "superior demons", that is, the "black mud" existing in the brain of the Dark Night Witch. From the explanation of the witch's dodge, it can be inferred that the "black mud" is some kind of more advanced void creature that can give orders to the parasite.

There was silence between the tributes.

People were silent, and with the arrival of the band conductor, everyone was silent.

They stared intently at the choir members.

Following the procedure, the band conductor bowed to everyone, and as he waved his hands, a heavy singing voice came over.

This was the language of the ancient Embers Empire, which was later replaced by the universal language promoted by the Universal Corporation.

Although it was a language he had never heard before, Duan Mingyuan understood its meaning almost immediately.

The choir's hymns were songs praising the Sun King. Unconsciously, he saw the afterimage of the past in the flowing energy of the scorching sun.

A planet shrouded in darkness, which echoes the original world mentioned in "Genesis". At that time, there was no concept of day and night, and humans were not unique. They were just like countless species struggling to survive in the darkness, trying their best to survive in this dark world.

As time went by, the concept of "devil's offspring" gradually became a term deeply rooted in people's hearts.

They referred to all dangers as the offspring of the devil.

The devil refers to the existence that created this endless darkness.

This is a concept proposed by the Sun King, who once faced the deepest darkness in the world and warned his followers that in a land of eternal night, there are terrible existences that they can hardly imagine.

Even the most brave and fearless Chosen of the Sun King could not contend with the devil. He also ordered his believers not to dream of being enemies with the devil. What they had to do was to continue to pass on the light. This was the seal left by the Sun King, a seal that would imprison the devil in the land of eternal night forever.

"How is it, are you a little disappointed?"

In the afterimages and fantasies that flowed with the energy, a figure that did not belong here emerged.

Heya obviously met the criteria of "outlier" that she put forward, and she also came to this private space.

It was quite ironic that the person who was playing the hymns and conducting the orchestra was stopped outside.

"This story sounds no different from other church stories. Perhaps the Sun King is just a particularly powerful human, or a consciousness born on a dark planet."

"You mean 'cocoon'?"

Duan Mingyuan asked.

The Embers Empire was destroyed by the planet's "cocooning", so from the moment the concept related to it was born, it represented ominousness and destruction.

but it is not the truth.

At least through getting along with Heya and the Judge of the Prison Star, Duan Mingyuan realized that the "Cocoon" is not a bomb without autonomous consciousness. They can communicate with humans and even possess more knowledge and wisdom.

Therefore, Duan Mingyuan felt that there was some possibility in Heya's theory that the Sun King was a friendly "cocoon".

"I know, I know. The main reason you came here to look for these old stories is to find the possibilities between them and you."

Heya said, "Or to be more precise, you want to know what the 'black mud' is."

These are nouns created by humans and obviously cannot represent their true meaning.

The people who first discovered "black mud" gave this term based on its shape, but they knew nothing about it.

"The good news is that I have been investigating this matter privately, and these investigations have recently achieved phased results... This is the conclusion I came to by observing your behavior."

Heya couldn't judge Duan Mingyuan's opinion on this matter, nor did she know whether he wanted people around him to know these secrets, so she chose this more secretive place where only "aliens" could come.

"No matter what kind of existence the Sun King is, he once led a group of humans to defeat the Void Demons and exiled them to a place called the Land of Eternal Night. But I think that demon might be more curious about the reason for his failure than the reluctance and anger of failure, so he came up with a way to leave the Land of Eternal Night."

Heya paused, "Split my consciousness into countless parts, let them drift to unknown planets and fall among humans."
