Re-live your life and start speedrunning

The magicians and knights from the mortal world looked a little dazed.

The mysterious creatures from the primeval forest were also a little surprised.

'Iron Lord' Renata blinked even more, a look of surprise appeared on her face -

"This place can actually be inhabited?"

"It's more than just a place for people to live. Moreover, the prosperity here was not inferior to that of the Arielan countries!"

Li Re, who had already recognized where the place was, responded like this.

He stood in the center of the army parked on the hillside of a thousand-foot-high mountain, and in front of the carriage with the spiritual fire swaying. Behind him were countless giants, elves, goblins, centaurs and dwarves, and in front of him were countless magic knights, magicians and the flames raised high by the people who had nothing. His eyes were like scimitars, and under the countless fluttering imperial flags, he couldn't help but smile.

this moment.

In Li Re's mind, memories from the player card of 'Leader' Zhang Ju, an illegal player leader from a magical world who caused a stir in reality, kept emerging.

This second.

As he looked at the ruins, scenes related to Zhang Ju appeared in his mind like a passing scene.

He matched the ruins before him with Zhang Ju's memories one by one.

It is also easy to draw conclusions.

The conclusion is...those ruins are Zhang Ju’s destroyed hometown!

So he could answer Renata's surprise with certainty.

It can answer the doubts of everyone present with certainty.

Although everyone did not know where Li Re's words came from, looking at the countless ruins, they all believed Li Re's words - listening to him say:

"But facts have proven that no matter how prosperous a country or how powerful a civilization is, it will be destroyed like a dead tree or rotten wood when faced with the arrival of the Eternal Night."

"It's absolutely terrifying!"

That scene where everything is weightless.

Shrouded in the eternal night, the space seemed to be collapsing and shattering.

It is indeed worthy of being called 'horrible'.

"But now it seems that this is the true composition of this world!"

Renata narrowed her eyes, but soon came back to her senses. She took a deep breath and said, "Alilan Continent is not the only land in this world... In the vast ocean outside the continent, there is another 'circle' of land."

"No wonder my father wanted to go out to sea so often..."

The darkness that could be seen at this moment still enveloped the outside of the Ariel Continent, forming a circle at the end of the sky and the sea.

And that circle was full of floating ruins.

Those ruins must have originally been located on land—and it was an extremely vast land that was in no way inferior to the Ariel Continent!

"It seems that this world is indeed much larger than we imagined."

The voice of the Giant King Ymir also fell from a thousand meters high. The huge giant breathed and the air flow rolled like a storm: "Arielan Continent is just a corner of the whole world..."

"But that was before."

The dragon king Chiyan landed beside the giant king. The tallest and largest man and dragon were at the end of the team, facing each other from afar like two huge doors. "Now, the world except for the Ariel Continent has probably been swallowed up by the eternal night!"

The Giant King nodded in agreement.

During this conversation, Li Re did not speak, but just stared at the floating ruins quietly... He neither continued to move forward nor planned to retreat. Having confirmed that the 'eternal night' was the 'chaos' after the world was shattered, he recalled what he had seen and heard along the way, his previous guesses, and the accurate information he had obtained from countless countries, countless churches, and countless 'people' about this world. Layers of fog emerged in his mind.

The presence of fog means that there is a direction.

Just lift the fog.

That’s what Li Re thought.

He also felt that... he was already very close to the truth of this fog.

this world--

The earthly kingdoms supervised by eight next-generation angels.

'Satois' who created many angels.

The mysterious origin, the 'Gods' of the world thousands of years ago.

The 'Lord of the Sky City' who guards the secrets of thousands of years ago,

The many primitive lives of the primeval forest.

In addition, Zhang Ju’s “hometown” has been destroyed.

as well as...

The 'Demon Pillar' standing on the edge of eternal night!

Li Re's eyes swept across and he immediately saw the towering "pillar" that also stood at the end of the sky and the sea.

Those pillars were scattered around the edges, like they were distributed in a "circle" with the Arielan Continent as the center. Even though there were only three pillars visible at the moment, it was not difficult to infer from their orientation that the arc of their dispersion was a "circle" and that the total number was twelve.

And the appearance of this pillar was extremely familiar to Li Re.

Because that is the appearance of the 'Demon Pillar' that once descended upon the Demon City in the real world.

That dark silhouette.

The same is true for the countless densely packed 'eyes' inlaid between the contours.

But what really concerned Li Re was not its existence... In the creation myth of the Ariel Continent, the so-called "Demon God" originally existed in the eternal night and was an obstacle for Sattoye to create the mortal world.

It is only natural that it appears together with Eternal Night.

However, it is not included in the creation myth of Ariel Blue Continent, as it pushes the eternal night and slowly approaches the Ariel Blue Continent!

"The 'Demon Pillar'...has always existed!"

Li Re seemed to understand something.

This is obviously different from the creation myth circulated in the Ariel continent.

It was also inconsistent with his previous inference - that gods and demons were one, that the throne angels and the demon pillars were also one, just two sides - and his guess, or in other words, the information provided by the paradise he had seen during the invasion of the Demon City in reality.

At the same time Li Re noticed the 'Demon Pillar'.

The people around him also followed his gaze and looked at the demon pillars.

Their eyes all froze, as if they realized something...but seeing that Li Re looked deep in thought, they held their breath and did not dare to disturb him.

The whole world seemed to suddenly become quiet.

The roaring sounds of the mountains and seas continued to vibrate and turned into long and regular vibrations. The towering mountains stood tall, and the dust covering the sky and the earth finally dissipated completely where the huge turtle head fell.

Here.

The army stopped and the flags fluttered.

at this moment.

The rumbling sound seemed to come from far away...the hideous and terrifying 'Demon Pillar' with thousands of wriggling eyes seemed to be approaching very slowly.

next second.

But he also heard Li Re let out a light breath.

He murmured in a low voice:

"I see..."

He whispered:

"To some extent, the truth of this world is really... terrifying!"

"It seems you have thought of something?"

Renata spoke at the right time.

Everyone couldn't help but glance sideways at the young boy Li Re.

The giant and the dragon lowered their heads at the same time.

"Do you know how to solve the eternal night?" The Giant King and the Dragon King couldn't help but ask.

This was the reason they had followed all the way here - of course they couldn't help but ask!

Li Re met the looks from everyone and raised his voice slightly: "I am sure of what I think of."

"At least it makes me more certain of my previous guess."

"Are you talking about the speculation that 'Eternal Night' represents the destruction and reconstruction process of the world?" Renata frowned.

Li Re nodded, but then said, "Yes, but it's not just this."

"That's just one of my guesses." He glanced around at everyone.

"Besides that, I actually made more guesses... It goes without saying that the mysterious origin of the Ariel Continent is the hidden gods that are neither angels nor Tsattoyes. But in addition to that, I actually speculated that the 'Demon Pillar' in the Ariel creation myth is not an obstacle to Tsattoyes' creation of the world, but a minion of him like the Archangels."

"Or in other words, the Archangel and the Demon Pillar are actually two sides of the same coin!"

"The so-called 'God and Devil are one'——"

"The Archangel and the Demon Pillar are two sides of the same coin? How is that possible..." Renata almost instantly rejected Li Re's words. As a magic king, her feelings about this world are much deeper than those of a normal magician. She can agree with the fact that the angels Li Re mentioned are not real gods, because she has also fought against the projections of angels, and she also has this inexplicable feeling - although that feeling could not be explained before, but when Li Re stated his inference in the Sky City, she seemed to understand it.

However, it was hard for her to accept that the Demon Pillar and the Throne Angel were two sides of the same coin... At least the scene before her was enough to deny that -

"and many more!"

Renata's eyes narrowed slightly!

"It seems you have thought of it, right?" Li Re smiled. "You must have wanted to say that the Demon Pillar and the Archangels cannot be two sides of the same coin, because the scene before us is obvious. The Demon Pillar is right in front of us, and the Eternal Night also began under their drag."

"The Eternal Night has obviously begun long ago. Your father, the first founder of Kent, died because of this."

"But before that, the 'angels' on the Ariel Continent were still supervising the mortal world."

"They are present at the same time, so they can't be two sides of the same coin..."

“But did they really appear at the same time?”

The fact is – no!

The godlike angels never actually appeared on earth.

Even if the church collapses, what appears is just the projection of the angels.

Before this, many people took it for granted and attributed such things to the constraints of the 'Abrahamic Covenant' - but no matter how constrained it was, it was a fact that the angel's true form had never appeared.

It is also true that angels and demons did not appear at the same time!

"The body of the angel exists in heaven..."

"The shadow of the angel falls on the world!"

Renata couldn't help murmuring.

Her eyes flickered with disbelief and excitement.

The many magicians and magic knights around listened to their words and looked at the shadow of the Demon Pillar, feeling a little horrified.

It is terrifying...the god and the devil are one, and the Demon Pillar is the embodiment of the 'projection' of the angel!

Yes.

"It seems you have all thought of it..."

Li Re spread his hands and faced the crowd - and the 'beasts'. His eyes seemed to be flickering... and burning with a blazing fire.

He said:

"This is also the real reason why the 'Angels' have never appeared in their true form, but have always interfered with the world in the form of projections!"

Because their "shadows" have always existed on the edge of the world.

Because their other side has always been surrounding this world.

Therefore, they need to stay in heaven all the time, because only in heaven can they cast their shadows on the earth.

That is why they can continue to project their own projections into the world...as long as the channel is not blocked, they can do so continuously.

Their 'projections' also have entities.

Just not an angel.
