Wizard Immortal

Chapter 697 A Cycle of Reincarnation

"The entire world, through twenty eras, the first nineteen eras, were continuously harvested and consumed by the three gods, who were in charge of the process. The last era was the harvest, a complete plunder of the world, a continuous cycle and collapse of spacetime."

"The collapse of spacetime and the unpredictability of time—this is the greatest terror."

In the quiet hall, opposite, another Adir was still speaking, his voice and aura remaining calm, identical to Adir's original: "Eight cycles of reincarnation, and with you, this is the ninth."

"This message was deliberately left by Chen Qing as a reminder and warning."

"This world has long been in a state of collapse. Every scene you experience and every person you see is a wave that has long been buried in the past history. It is both real and illusory. It is only because of the collapse of spacetime in this world that it can be reproduced."

"Only within these ruins can one avoid being affected by the power of reincarnation and barely retain a trace of information for the next me."

"Now, you can listen."

On the other side, the other Adir took a deep breath before speaking: "This is a gamble with everything at stake. The two sides in this gamble are us, and this world."

"The loser will be devoured by the other side, becoming an aid for the other side to go further."

Upon hearing this, Adir frowned.

To wage war against the consciousness of a world—what a crazy idea that is!

This idea is far too dangerous. In most worlds, the world has no consciousness and can only be manipulated by humans. Only in a small number of worlds with a large number of living beings will a vague world consciousness be born.

This kind of world consciousness is only the most vague instinct. Although it is still difficult to deal with, as long as the appropriate response method is mastered, there is still a considerable chance.

But the consciousness of this world is different.

The fall of gods and demons bred a malignant tumor. Through a long period of effort, this tumor has given birth to primitive wisdom, gradually eroding the original world power and becoming a new world consciousness.

Aside from not completely seizing the last bit of authority, this is practically a world consciousness with intelligence.

In someone else's world, how do you engage in a struggle with such a world consciousness?

Just thinking about this kind of thing is enough to give anyone a headache.

"Don't think it's difficult."

Before him, seemingly fully aware of his own thoughts, the other Adir continued, "Under normal circumstances, if we were beings of this world, we certainly couldn't possibly defeat the consciousness of this world."

"Our greatest advantage lies in the fact that we are not native to this world, we are a variable to the world itself, and we are not within the cycle of this world."

"His origin split, one part becoming the three gods, but the original essence exists in the ocean of origin of this world."

"By gathering the essence of the three gods and using the power of traversing supernatural abilities, we can open a passage to the Sea of ​​Origin. At that point, there will be a sliver of hope for ultimate victory!"

"If it fails, immediately activate your time travel ability and leave."

"Because of the limitations of His power, I cannot recall the previous seven experiences. I also do not know what will happen if I activate my superpower in this world. It is possible that I will disappear directly, or it is possible that reincarnation will begin, the memories of this time and space will be lost, and another cycle of reincarnation will begin."

"No matter what, we always have a chance to start over. If things become unworkable, we should leave immediately!"

"Think of the teachers and friends in the Mason area, think of our mothers and sisters, and think of Edith and our children. We must win back home."

"Think of our promises to Lera, Chim, and Slim; we will take them with us once again to fight."

So, keep trying.

Before him, another Adir spoke solemnly, his figure gradually blurring and disappearing: "Trust your judgment, and don't let yourself regret it!"

As Hua Ying landed, a surge of elemental power descended, and his figure vanished completely, turning into raindrops of light that eventually disappeared from the spot.

Staring at his vanished self, Adir was stunned, seemingly lost in the information and had not yet reacted.

"how?"

From the side came the frail voice of an old woman.

She stood beside Adir, looking at him with bright, expectant eyes: "Do you understand?"

"I understand it roughly."

Facing the statue before him, Adir rubbed his forehead, feeling a jumble of emotions, a thousand words swirling in his mind, yet he didn't know where to begin.

So he waved his hand and said somewhat helplessly, "Don't speak yet, let me calm down."

Standing alone to one side, his thoughts gradually became clear.

Is that other self's identity real or fake?

When exactly did this game begin?

There is another loophole in his own words.

"My child, is this reminding me of something?"

Standing in the corner, Adir muttered to himself, a sense of doubt rising in his heart.

The rest of the information provided by that other self was correct, except for this one point, where a major flaw appeared.

Adir had no recollection of having any children.

The fact that the other party deliberately revealed this matter, exposing such a huge mistake, suggests only two possibilities.

Either this person is completely fake, and what he says is only meant to mislead Adir in order to achieve some other purpose.

Either it was intentional, a deliberate reminder to Adir of something.

However, regardless of the possibility, it is unlikely that, and there is no need to falsify, some basic information.

"To engage in a battle of wits with a world consciousness—that's something I'm really not capable of doing."

Finally, Adir smiled, clearing his mind of all thoughts and gradually regaining his composure.

"Have you thought it through?" The old woman's voice continued from the side.

"I understand some of it roughly."

Adir nodded, then said, "You don't seem surprised at all by this scene?"

"certainly."

The old woman nodded, then said, "Just like I said before, I've seen similar scenes more than once."

"We've met since the first time you came into this world."

"But you were different back then than you are now."

"Not the same?"

Adir was somewhat puzzled.

"When you first arrived, you were also my younger brother. In order to protect the city of Odoria, you also chose to suppress the Sun God."

"But then, you seemed to realize something, and before the sun god had completely perished, you left this world."

"The second time, you noticed clues about the world itself and found this place before you suppressed the sun god, where you met Ganlai, who still had some lingering resentment at the time."

"Ganlai?"

Adir was taken aback, and the image of an old man in a black robe appeared in his mind.

"Yes."

The old woman nodded and then said, "Unlike you, we are all spirits buried in the past. We should have died long ago, but because of the little bit of world power we possess and our resentment, we have been able to linger on and survive through one era after another."

"The same goes for Ganlai."

"During your second reincarnation, you saw Ganlai, who was on the verge of death and about to perish completely. You saved him and left a mark on him so that he would remind you of this place in subsequent reincarnations."

"So after the second reincarnation, you come to this place every time."

She glanced at Adir and asked with a smile, "You too, right?"

"indeed."

Adir thought for a moment, then nodded in silence.

"This is the bottom of the world, a sacred place that was once the center of the world. It was blessed by the former ruler of the world, which allowed it to survive the upheaval of the world and protect us, the long-dead souls."

"Your first arrival at this place was purely by chance, combined with your diligent search. But the subsequent visits were deliberate schemes you left behind to lure you here in your next reincarnation, so that you could extract the true truth from us, the spirits of the dead."

"Speaking of which, something very interesting happened."

The old woman smiled, looking at Adir before her, as if she had thought of something interesting: "Although this place is a sacred land, it has been corrupted after all, and is surrounded by all kinds of pollution and traps."

"In the first few cycles, your clone will always fall here, and then your main body will immediately flee, becoming alert to an admirable degree."

"In the end, we had to take action to clean up most of the pollution in the vicinity and find out the remaining traps in the surrounding area to prevent your clone from disappearing in this place."

She looked at Adir with a hint of admiration, but it was hard to tell whether her gaze was one of appreciation or disdain.

Adir's expression remained calm, seemingly unconcerned by the old woman's gaze, accepting it openly without feeling the slightest shame.

There's not much to say about this.

When faced with indecisiveness, the wisest course is to protect oneself; this is Adir's way of dealing with things.

The wizarding world is full of dangers. After all, a person only has one life. If one is not careful, one will probably die sooner or later on some otherworldly journey.

If Adir's clone were to perish here, Adir's true body would leave immediately without the slightest hesitation.

"Fortunately, after this happened four or five times, we have a general understanding of your situation. So unless absolutely necessary, we will never let this clone of yours perish outside, and we dare not even let the connection between this clone and the main body be severed, because the result would be the same."

In front of Adir, the old woman shook her head, seemingly harboring deep resentment towards Adir's promotion.

Adir had nothing to say to this. Staring at the large stone wall in front of him, he could only awkwardly change the subject and ask, "And what about those outside?"

"You mean the other me outside, and Gan Lai and the others?"

The old woman took over the conversation with practiced ease, and judging from her expression, it seemed she had already guessed that Adir would ask this question.
