From seeing it

Although he knew that several epochs perished and new ones appeared, he didn't know the reason for the alternation of epochs.

"Didn't it mean that the end of each era is fate and cannot be changed?"

"Yes." Satana sighed, and said, "However, very few people know the real reason for the end of this era. Today, I will take it to find out the specific reason."

Satan took Xiao Ling with him while talking, and continued to go deep in front. Soon, the bones could no longer be seen on the ground, and more and more serious space cracks appeared around, and lightning struck from time to time. In these cracks, there were chaos The mist is surging, and it is shocking to see it in the eyes.

Even though Xiao Ling was already the supreme god, he was still cautious and protected his two giant black arms on both sides of his body in case of accidents.

Finally, in front of them, a gigantic crack appeared, and the ground in front of it completely collapsed, forming an abyss.

"Come on, follow me down to have a look." Satan took the void to step forward, and a rainbow bridge condensed with divine light naturally appeared under his feet, leading obliquely to the bottom of the abyss. He walked up the rainbow bridge and headed towards the end below.

Xiao Ling followed behind him and walked onto Hongqiao.

The two went straight down the Hongqiao, and the Hongqiao continued to extend down to the abyss with the two of them. Gradually, Xiao Ling saw an extremely thick branch, which traversed the abyss in front of him. As far as the spiritual sense can sense, you can only see a section of the branch, but cannot see the complete whole. The huge branch of this tree is simply shocking.

Not only that, Xiao Ling also saw signs of rot on the surface of the branch.

Satan, who was walking in front, stopped, pointed to the rotten branch in front of him, and said, "Do you know where this branch came from? The continent we are now, God's Domain Forbidden Land, is essentially a leaf on this branch. .”

"A leaf on this branch?" Xiao Ling gasped: "What kind of branch is this, so terrifyingly big?"

Satana sighed, and said: "This branch is part of the universe tree, and it's just one of the billions of branches of the universe tree. Do you know why there are signs of collapse everywhere in this forbidden area of ​​God's Domain? It's just because this branch is rotten and dead. The leaves are almost completely withered."

Xiao Ling was shocked and said: "Cosmic tree? Is there such a legendary thing? Why is there a sign of decay?"

Xiao Ling was shocked when he heard that Satan mentioned the universe tree.

Satan said: "Yes, the legend about the cosmic tree is true. The essence of our universe is a tree, and this countless time and space is just a leaf on this tree. The so-called end of the era is just this tree. The Cosmic Tree completely withered and died, and all the time in the universe collapsed together, so no matter whether it is a god, demon, monster or bird, as long as it is a living being, it cannot escape this catastrophe."

Satana continued to go down the Hongqiao while talking. Xiao Ling was in a state of shock, so he went down and said, "Why did the universe tree wither and die? Could it be that this tree has a lifespan?"

Satana shook his head and said, "No, even the gods can live forever, not to mention the Cosmic Tree, it doesn't wither and die because of the end of its lifespan, but because it loses nutrients, it slowly withers."

"Lost nutrition?" Xiao Ling frowned: "What is the nutrition of this universe tree?"

Satan said: "The nutrient of the universe tree is life."

Hearing these words, Xiao Ling was thoughtful, followed Satan behind him, and continued to move forward.

Gradually, as he went down, Xiao Ling once again saw an extremely thick branch appearing in the distance, and the surface of this branch also showed signs of rot.

Satan said: "The cosmic tree can be said to be the matrix of our entire cosmic time and space, including all our creatures born in this cosmic time and space, all come from this matrix. If the cosmic tree is described as a vast ocean, then our universe Creatures born in the ocean, the essence of every creature, is actually a drop of water in this vast ocean. When a new creature is born, this drop of water is equivalent to leaving the ocean of life and becoming an independent individual. When the creature dies , its life energy will return to this ocean again, and it will go round and round again and again.”

When Satan said that, Xiao Ling understood a little bit, and said, "Senior, you mean that the origin of life of all creatures in our entire universe actually comes from this cosmic tree?"

Satan said: "Yes, the root system of this cosmic tree is rooted in the sea of ​​chaos, and this sea of ​​chaos provides nutrients for the cosmic tree, so that the cosmic tree can breed a new cosmic time and space, and give birth to new life. Of course, when life reaches a certain limit, it will die, and the life energy will return to the sea of ​​chaos..."

"This process is like the water in the ocean being irradiated by sunlight, turning into water vapor and evaporating into the air. When this water vapor encounters cold air at high altitude, it will condense into small water droplets, and these small water droplets will eventually form again. It turned into raindrops and landed on the ground, and flowed back into the ocean, so as to ensure that the ocean will not dry up..."

When he said this, he paused for a moment, and continued: "We can imagine, if the water in this ocean is evaporated by sunlight, it becomes water vapor, and becomes rainwater, but the rainwater never falls and returns to the ocean. What will happen in the ocean?"

Xiao Ling took a light breath and said, "If this kind of thing really happens, the water in this ocean will become less and less, and this ocean will eventually disappear."

"Yes... the life energy in the sea of ​​chaos... that's how it is. It dries up and dries up, causing the Cosmic Tree to lose its nutrients and eventually wither and die."

At this point, Satan stopped suddenly, turned to look at Xiao Ling, and said, "This is why the era ended and why the universe tree withered."

Xiao Ling was a little astonished and said: "You mean that these life energies cannot return to the sea of ​​chaos? The original cycle has been broken?"

Satana showed a wry smile, and said: "Yes, let's not say that gods can live forever, even some cosmic races that are not gods have tried every means to prolong their lifespan through various means, and the result is... everyone They are all able to live forever, so that the life energy in the chaotic sea can only go out and not in... Every day, a large number of new lives are born, consuming the energy in the chaotic sea, but the number of dead creatures is getting less and less. Energy cannot return to the Sea of ​​Chaos... The final result of this going on is that the Sea of ​​Chaos will gradually dry up, unable to maintain the life energy needed by the Cosmic Tree, which will eventually cause the Cosmic Tree to lack nutrients, and then wither and die, causing the entire universe time and space to completely collapse. "

Xiao Ling was completely stunned. He never imagined that he would hear such shocking news here in Satana. The space and time of the universe would be broken, the tree of the universe would die, and the era would end. The stronger it was, the longer these creatures lived, and those life energies could not be returned, which resulted in the death of the Cosmic Tree.

Having said this, Satan took a meaningful look at Xiao Ling and said, "Especially a supreme god like us... Do you know how powerful life energy is contained in a supreme god? The more powerful we become, the more life energy that has invaded the Chaos Sea, and the more powerful the life span is, the longer the life span is, and the less likely it is to die... This is an extremely terrifying vicious circle. Every time we become stronger, we will Swallow and absorb more heaven and earth aura, but have you ever thought about where this so-called heaven and earth aura, cosmic energy, comes from?"

"These auras and energies will not be born without a reason, nor can they be endless. In fact, the energy we breathe and absorb all comes from the sea of ​​chaos and the origin of the universe's time and space. We The stronger it is, the more energy it takes from the origin of the universe..."

"In the end, the original energy of the universe was consumed too much because of us gods... and it was unable to maintain the operation of the entire universe. The final result is that the gods and this universe time and space will perish together."

"At the moment of extinction, all living beings and the universe are destroyed together, and all life energy returns to the sea of ​​chaos. At that moment, the sea of ​​chaos finally returns to its peak state. In the sea, a new cosmic tree will be born, new creatures will appear, and a new era will begin again..."

Xiao Ling felt the palm of his hand, sweating slightly, and said in a deep voice, "If all of this is true, the truth is too shocking. So, the real reason for the change of the previous eras is this?"

Satan nodded and continued to move forward. His speed suddenly increased, and the Hongqiao under his feet stretched all the way down.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling also accelerated his speed, but he couldn't catch up with Satanna, forcing him to increase his speed.

The two sides are getting faster and faster, and they don't know how much distance they have traveled down in an instant.

Suddenly, Satana stopped again.

This time, a gigantic tree branch appeared in front of the two of them, rising from below and penetrating the space in front of them. Xiao Ling understood that this was also a part of the cosmic tree, because the real cosmic tree is too huge, even if it He is the supreme god, and he cannot see the whole picture, only a part of his tree.

The Hongqiao under the two people's feet directly led to the branch in front of them. Satan shook his body and landed on the branch.

Xiao Ling also fell down.

They said it was a tree branch, but when the two of them landed, the place they stepped on was as huge as the earth.

Compared with this branch, the two of them are too small to be mentioned.

"Senior, tell me this, what exactly do you want to express?" Xiao Ling followed Satan behind him, and finally couldn't help it.

Ever since he broke into the forbidden area of ​​God's Domain and met Satan, he had told himself so many secrets, there must be some reason, and he never believed that all this was just a coincidence, or that Satan was bored and asked him to confide.

Satana did not directly answer his question, but just said: "Xiao Ling, do you know? When each era is about to end, the universe tree will give birth to a special life. This life can be said to carry the universe tree. The spiritual seeds, because the cosmic tree rots and withers, will be reborn in the next era, and the cosmic tree can be bred again in the sea of ​​chaos, the premise is that a cosmic tree seed is needed."

"This seed is generally called the Son of the Era."

When Satan said this, he suddenly stopped.

Xiao Ling also stopped.

"Xiao Ling, tell me, who is this seed, the son of the era?"

Xiao Ling couldn't answer Satana's question. After thinking for a while, he said: "Since it is the seed that carries the spirit of the universe tree, this kind of seed must be the chosen child of heaven. The talent of heaven is unique, and it is probably the seed of every era. ruler."

"The first half of what you said is correct. This kind of child must be the chosen one. It is different, but it may not be the ruler of every era."

After Satan had said this, he paused for a moment before continuing, "You know what? You humans are very special."

"Oh?" Xiao Ling's heart trembled slightly, feeling that Satana had finally reached the point, and said, "We humans have always been an extremely weak race, how special is it?"

"The lifespan of human beings is very short. Ordinary human beings can only last a hundred years. Among all the intelligent races in the universe, you humans have the shortest lifespan. In terms of the universe, this hundred years is just a snap of your fingers."

Satan said: "Because of this, you humans have been favored by the universe tree. After all, for the universe tree, the race that can easily recover life energy is a good race. For those races with long lives, especially Gods, naturally won't be liked by the Cosmic Tree."

Xiao Ling didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and thought to himself, is it because ordinary human beings have a relatively short lifespan that they are loved by the Cosmic Tree? It was really hard for him to agree with Satana's point of view.

Although Satana didn't look back, he seemed to see Xiao Ling's expression, and said, "You don't believe it, do you? In fact, there is a very good example that proves that you humans have been favored by the universe tree, and the countless wisdoms that exist in the universe In terms of race, human beings can be said to be extremely small among them, but among such small and ordinary human beings, there are two sons of the era."

Xiao Ling shivered slightly, and said, "Are the two sons of the Era human?" In his mind, two names appeared faintly like lightning and thunder.

"Yes, the first son of the era from human beings is named Shi Yu, and the second son of the era is Xiao Han. They are all human beings. Tell me, have you humans been favored by the universe tree?"

Listening to what Satan said, Xiao Ling took a deep breath. In fact, when he said that there were two sons of the era in the human race, Xiao Ling thought of these two legendary figures in the human race. Now it seems that they are indeed them.

"Is this Shi Yu and Xiao Han both the sons of Ji Yuan?" Xiao Ling thought for a while and asked, "How did seniors confirm that? Besides, can there be many sons of Ji Yuan?"
