Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

Chapter 533: 533
Dragon Sacrifice

That hug was so warm.

It was as if there were countless warm currents surrounding her, and countless whispers echoed in her ears. It was the resonance of time, the flashback from the past. In the face of extinction, the brave warriors and guardians who chose to stand up and face death proudly, those infinitely unfamiliar people and things, just as she had said…

It became the story Kant told.

Kant closed his eyes and felt the unprecedented peace and tranquility.

At this moment, he understood the true meaning of the mysterious element’s name.

Paragon.

The sound of doomsday and the curtain descended. Fate could not be changed. All struggles were futile. All resistance seemed to be destined to be destroyed. It was just like the river of time flowing, from ancient times to the future. The past could not be changed, but the future was fixed. It had always been like this.

However, the story that Kant wanted to tell in the future would definitely have a perfect contradiction.

This mysterious element was not an evil gift from the Sound of Doomsday, nor was it a necessary prerequisite for the lowering of the Curtain. It was not even within the expectations of the Curtain and Doomsday.

It was a contradiction.

Relying on the divine power of the Space-time Dragon God, relying on this independent plane far away from the mortal world, relying on two people who met in the past, present, and future, they completed the silent intersection outside the torrent of fate.

The matter that had not been penetrated by the Sound of Doomsday completed the closed loop of birth and transmission.

At that moment, Kant was still at a loss, but he seemed to have understood everything.

More importantly, he was no longer afraid, no longer crazy, and no longer at a loss.

The premonition of the end of the world that had been pressing on his heart and making him uneasy, the sound of destruction that was almost enough to destroy his soul, the countless coincidences, fate, predestination, and guesses that had been happening over the past few days, all fell apart at this moment, because the information from the past and the future had shown him the most important information.

Although fate was hopeless, it was not always predestined.

It was like… This was a contradiction.

At this moment, all his obsessions were suddenly cleared. He hugged the body in his arms tightly. That was the most generous gift from the past…Courage and hope.

“Thank you,” he muttered.

At the same time, her voice rang out,”Thank you.”

The voice was soft and gentle, filled with tolerance, longing, and love.

” The road ahead will be even more difficult, Kant.”

She sighed softly.

Perhaps he was worried and sighing about the more dangerous future Kant was facing.

The voice was filled with regret.

“Unfortunately, I can’t accompany you like you accompany me. I really hope to see you…”

Kant pursed his lips. He suddenly laughed and shook his head.

“Idiot.”

“Ever since I came to this world, you’ve been by my side,” he muttered.

Unfortunately, such a voice could not be transmitted to the past.

They could only embrace each other and hope that this warmth could be transmitted across time.

The road had an end.

“Then, that’s all I have to say.”

Even though she said that, her trembling voice still revealed her uneasiness and confusion.

“We are going to part here. Even so, I don’t know where to go. My world has been destroyed, and all my companions have died. I entrust my last inheritance to you. What should I do next? Well, I suppose you’re sad about it.”

She slowly let go of Kant and smiled brightly, but tears filled her eyes.

” Don’t be sad. I’ve already used all my life and completed everything that I could. I didn’t leave any regrets behind. I’m just a messenger to pass on some stories that you might not be able to understand to the current you. To you, I might just be a strange stranger…However, everything is real. You should believe it, and in the foreseeable future, you will see me again.”

“So, don’t call me Ah Xing anymore when the time comes…Ah, you can call me whatever you want.”

She knocked her head in frustration.” I shouldn’t have told you so much. I don’t know if it’ll affect me. Forgive me, Kant. I just…” I have a lot to tell you.”

As she said this, she took a few steps back and stretched her body. She looked around and looked very relaxed. Now, I announce that the Light Negative Ones are officially disbanded.”

” Goodbye, Kant. We will meet again in the old days.”

“At that time, you can call me whatever you want…But at least remember my name first.”

“Asha.”

Her smile was like the bright moon. The regret of parting and the joy of shyness intertwined at this moment, finally turning into an eternal moment that transcended time and space. When we meet again in the future, just mention this name and I will believe you.”

” Goodbye, Kant. Goodbye.”

He spoke tirelessly, reluctant to part, but he did not hesitate at all before parting.

In an instant, a strong purple light shone from her body and rushed into the sky like a rainbow, pouring into the Paragon Engine.

The plane formed by gears and springs began to rumble and tremble.

The surging purple river of light was like a flame, shining at the core of the Paragon Engine. After the burning light poured into the hollow sphere, it seemed to be compressed by an invisible force, infinitely concentrated, and solidified into an indiscernible point. It kept spinning inside, stacking up and accumulating endlessly.

Then, a dazzling mist of light exploded from the infinite origin.

It was as if a dead star was slowly lighting up.

The tinder that was passed from the future to the past and returned from the past to the present was burning again.

The will from the past had disappeared, and the time and space flashback had ended. It was like a dream. Kant turned around in a daze and saw the body before him fall limply. He rushed forward and hugged her.

The great spirit that had raised the flag since the beginning of extinction and fought until the curtain fell had left.

Her story had ended, and her battle had ceased.

She had only known him for a short while.

However, it was as if he had sent away a very, very good friend.

Suddenly, the body in his arms trembled slightly. Then, she relaxed in her sleep. She subconsciously grabbed Kant’s arm and twisted her body, trying to change into a more comfortable position.

Then, she opened her eyes.

His golden eyes were filled with confusion, as if he had a very long dream.

Kant.”

He subconsciously shouted out the name that he had already shouted many times.

It was a familiar tone, a familiar voice, and a familiar affection.

She was no longer Asha.

Tears filled his vision. Kant smiled and hugged her.” Yes, it’s me.”

This was also good, wasn’t it?

Asha, who had completed her final mission, had gone somewhere. The time and space flashback had been cut off, and he could no longer see the past. Asha said that she wanted to do her own thing, and he had no idea what happened after that. However, just as fate was destined, the past was also destined.

That was why when he first transmigrated to another world, in the days of fear and loneliness in the Saint Seal Islands, and now that the previous era had ended countless years ago, he saw that white shadow.

It was as if she had been waiting, waiting.

“I…”

Ah Xing was muddle-headed. She tried hard to recall the past. She seemed to remember that when she was fighting above the River of Origin, she had guided the mysterious elements into her body, but she had seen many strange scenes. After she had clashed with Tracy, she had been pushed into the river by a powerful force. After that, he could not remember anything.

The confusion lasted only for a moment before it was replaced by greater worry and anger.

Kant was crying.

“What happened? What’s wrong? Who bullied you?” She said angrily,” Let’s go beat him up!”

Kant hugged her, laughing and crying.

“It’s you, and me.”

“It was the two of us who made me cry,” he said.

“.. What?” Ah Xing could not understand such a complicated topic at all. After thinking for two seconds, she decided to stop and put forward a very constructive suggestion.

“How about…” She probed,” You hit me twice and then hit yourself twice?”

Kant let go of his embrace and looked at Ah Xing. Ah Xing was smiling foolishly. He did not look like the valiant, decisive, and murderous commander from before at all. He was a complete idiot.

He reached out and pinched Ah Xing’s face, stretching it to the sides.

Her silly face became even more comical, and her eyes were still smiling like crescents.

Kant laughed as well.

But in the next moment, a cold light flashed in their eyes.

The gorilla suddenly reached out and wrapped its arms around Kant’s waist, pulling him to the side. Dozens of sharp whips tore through the air and struck wildly. Behind the huge base of the Paragon Engine, Tricia’s huge deformed body rushed out. The dragon roared and roared, its tentacles and compound eyes trembling rapidly.

“This is impossible! It was all fake! It’s fake!”

Hysterical rage.

They wailed in disbelief.

The despair of losing one’s mind.

It attacked Kant with all its might. The situation had completely reversed. He was the craziest one now because everything was crumbling. The end of his persistence was a false deception.

“Impossible! Something must have gone wrong! Why didn’t Akatum respond to me? Why didn’t the upgrade ceremony appear? Why were you chosen?

There must be a mistake somewhere!”

When he fell to the ground at the same time as Kant, he and the Fire Stealer got up almost at the same time.

At the same time, he saw this huge, magnificent creation that seemed to have been bestowed by the gods.

He sensed an unprecedented intimacy and impulse from the Paragon Engine. It must be the ascension that the Dragon God had announced. It waited, longed, and hoped for the realization of the prophecy and guidance.

However, nothing happened after he prayed piously.

It tried to check and search carefully. It believed that it was because Kant was still here. It wanted to kill the blasphemers who were involved in ascending to heaven. Only then would the Dragon God’s will descend.

However, after discovering Kant’s tracks, it had also heard the conversation.

The Aberrant Dragon was not stupid. It was just stubborn.

While Kant was shocked by the information from the past and the future, Tris was even more shocked and incredulous. He had come to a terrifying conclusion from the voice of time and space that he had eavesdropped on.

Kant was the one destined to reach this place.

This led to another problem.

What was he?

The mysterious elements that surged out of Asha or Ah Xing’s body lit up the Paragon Engine. This ritualistic scene almost completely broke Tris ‘defenses. Self-doubt, self-hypnosis, self-refutation, great confusion, unspeakable fear, and unacceptable facts.

He thought that he had been chosen by the Dragon God and that he had a great mission. For this, he went deep into it, slaughtered his brothers, turned against his companions, and gave up the glory of the dragon…And then?

And then?

“You must be acting! Don’t even think about shaking my faith in the Dragon God!”

” Kill you!” It roared, attacked, and charged recklessly.” Kill you!” As long as I kill you! The final test would be passed! I gave up everything to come here! There must be a reason for all of this!

It was meaningful! Everything I saw was real! Everything I heard was real! You guys are acting! You’re ganging up on me!

The dialogue of the past, the gift of the future, the Paragon Engine, all of these were fake! Fabricated! It’s fake!”

Ah Xing protected Kant behind him. The aberrant dragon flapped its four wings and charged down furiously.

At this moment, the Paragon Engine had already begun to spin slowly. The shining spot in the center of the circle spewed out purple mist, which was as colorful as a nebula, like a miniature universe.

Kant suddenly grabbed Ah Xing’s other hand.

Ah Xing frowned slightly and tried to break free gently. Usually, she would hold Kant’s hand all day long, but she could not do so now. She could not defeat this monster with one hand.

But in the next moment, she suddenly felt a mysterious connection between her and Kant.

She turned around in shock and saw the starlight in Kant’s eyes.

Then, they reached out their hands at the same time, and the multiple circles of the Paragon Engine suddenly stopped. It was as if time and space were frozen, and invisible ripples spread out. The entire world of gears and springs was stopped. Similarly, Tris, who was in midair, was bound by an invisible force.

An unprecedentedly powerful force restrained the mutated dragon.

Or rather, it was something that was binding his body.

A gift that was exchanged for the sacrifice of six of his own kind.

In fact, the price had already been set.

“What did you do to me? Let go of me! Let go of me! Akatum! Save your people!

Give me strength! Defeating the evil enemy! Akatum! Dragon God!”

Tracy shouted loudly, his voice getting louder and more urgent.

And more and more… Panic.

” Tris,” Kant said calmly,” do you really want to know why you’re here?”

“Shut up!” the mutated dragon roared angrily. I don’t want to listen to you! Don’t confuse me!”

“I don’t know who gave you the revelation. Maybe it was the future me, maybe it was Brother Tu, or someone else, but this has nothing to do with me. What does the future me do have to do with the present me? How can you accuse me of something that didn’t happen?”

Kant shrugged.

“But no matter who it is, I think he’s right about one thing.”

He slowly raised his arm and spread his fingers, trapping the dragon in his palm.

“That’s true. The dragon as a sacrifice…”

“A total of seven.”
