Four hundred and eighth, the real abyss + gatekeeper
The black crystal column pierced the mirror-like hall and stood in the center of the entire dungeon. Just now, the mysterious woman pointed at the pillars and said, "This is the abyss!"
Gu Feng was scared to death, and so were the others, staring at the black crystals nervously and alert.
"But...but it won't move, it doesn't look like it at all." After looking at the black crystal for a long time, the cute timid girl asked a cute question.
The mysterious woman said to herself: "Because the abyss has surpassed everyone's perception of 'God'. It is not an ordinary God, it is a world!"
"A world!" Gu Feng didn't understand what she said.
The timid girl also asked curiously: "What does that mean?"
"It means that there is no one or no 'God' that can stop the abyss, because it is different from the past. The previous 'God' always maintained the rules of a world and was also bound by the world. The abyss has no restraint since the day it was born. Without restraint means infinite expansion, so it is a world!" The mysterious woman pointed to the black crystal pillar and said.
"The abyss is everywhere, it is expanding, growing, squeezing and devouring other worlds, and those black crystals are the outermost shell of the abyss, the abyss crystals." She seemed to be telling a story.
“We set seals here and other parts of the world a thousand years ago, poured one of the closest areas to the abyss with the hardest crystals, and reinforced it with magic.
I thought it could stop the "Abyss" from devouring the world, but now it has broken the seal.
If it cannot be stopped, many years later, the abyss crystal will break out and affect people's minds. Then, the abyss will truly descend, and its expansion will continue to squeeze and destroy until it eventually devours the world."
The mysterious woman pointed to the black crystal pillar that broke through the smooth crystal ground.
Gu Feng felt a mess in his mind. Shouldn’t the “abyss” be like “death” or “order”?
Isn't it a pile of sarcomas and negative emotions? It's just a living body with powerful and incredible power. He thought that no matter how powerful they are, they could find a way to defeat them.
But now, according to the description of the mysterious woman, the abyss seems to be completely different. It is not a creature at all, but a world that is enough to devour other worlds.
"But the abyss is still in the ritual, and its correction ritual has not been completed yet!" Before the timid girl could speak, Gu Feng couldn't wait to ask this question. All his plans and all his understanding of the abyss were broken, and Gu Feng could no longer help it.
The mysterious woman looked at Gu Feng deeply, but did not take action. She just said in surprise: "Mortals, you know more than I imagined.
This is exactly why we can still hold on.
We have set up seals at the five points closest to the world to prevent its arrival, which has lasted for more than a thousand years, but once the ceremony is completed, we will no longer be able to stop the abyss from coming.”
When the mysterious girl talked about this, Gu Feng had actually guessed who she was, the person who sealed the "abyss" in five parts of the world!
One of the five kingdom knights of the Giant Kingdom, according to her figure and ability, should be the ghostly Nightingale Knight, the most mysterious knight in the beginning of the game.
But Gu Feng didn't expect that one of the five knights was a bear, and the other one was a human!
This mysterious woman has a similar figure to that of a human, and she is definitely not a giant.
At the same time, they are also the five knights closest to God in the legend.
"Is there any way we can stop the abyss?" Gu Feng asked.
The mysterious woman ignored him at all, but only looked at the timid girl.
The little girl was stunned for a moment, then quickly asked a question exactly like Gu Feng: "Is there any way we can stop the abyss?"
The Nightingale Knight shook his head: "Don't you understand me yet? The abyss is different from all gods. It is not the will of the World Tree, it is a world!
Beyond this world, it is not restricted by the world tree, nor is it bounded by rules, so it has no boundaries or restrictions, and it continues to grow and devours everything from its birth.
One day it will also reach this world. Do you think you can stop a world?"
"But isn't it a collection of negative emotions in humans? Why did it become like this?" Gu Feng couldn't help asking. He really never expected that the "abyss" he had to face might be greatly underestimated by him and beyond his cognitive scope.
The Nightingale Knight slowly walked up to him and looked at him deeply: "Because of greed!"
"You know more than I thought, maybe your arrival was not accidental. Since you already know so much, you have the right to know more."
The Nightingale Knight looked at Gu Feng: "The abyss was a gathering of all negative emotions in human beings at the beginning, but when it transformed, it still changed and gained beyond imagination. Greed dominated it in many negative shadows, and greed means endless and endless demands.
In addition, I have said that it is not like other gods, it is not manifested by the will of the World Tree, but an ugly product created by man. Therefore, it will not be restricted by the World Tree, that is, the constraints of this world.
Negative means darkness, and the world is just full of darkness.
People in Sherman's tyranny suppressed countless darkness in their hearts. It was the favorite food of the "Abyss", so at that time it grew rapidly, evolved continuously, and became stronger and stronger.
When the World Tree realizes this threat, they are no longer able to deal with it. The abyss does not belong to the will of the world. It is the dark side of human beings. The World Tree cannot balance it.
Its growth and evolution are also unlimited, and it soon reaches the point of threatening the entire world and begins to devour the entire world."
Everyone listened quietly, not daring to let out the air, while Gu Feng felt cold in his heart. He found that he did not understand the "abyss" at all.
In the past, he just wanted to stop the "abyss", but when the truth of the "abyss" appeared in front of him, he felt the naivety of his thoughts.
"The devour begins from the underground and the northernmost part of the world. The underground of the world is swallowed up, forming another world, a world full of rocks and fire." The Nightingale Knight said slowly.
"Underground World..." Gu Feng finally understood how the vast and grand underground world came from, which was beyond the sight.
"The highest mountains in the north were also swallowed up and turned into a deep abyss. Only a few peaks survived under the protection of "order" and became floating islands in the air, which were also the last home of the dragon." The Nightingale Knight said slowly.
Gu Feng instantly understood that he had seen the floating island in the north. He was still wondering how such a magical craft was formed, and now he understood.
"What about the end, how was the abyss stopped."
Gu Feng grabbed the last straw. The world is still there, which means that the abyss has not devoured the world. In other words, the man or god used some method to stop the "abyss", and that method is likely to be the last hope.
The Nightingale Knight seemed to see through his thoughts and shook his head: "You can't imitate, and you can't do it, because there is nothing to stop the 'Abyss'."
"But it has not devoured this world, doesn't it mean you did it?"
The Nightingale Knight was a little sad: "I hope so, too, but the truth is... it just slowed down and sacrificed a lot for it."
The Nightingale shook her head in pain: "Many giants and human warriors died in battle, and then the gods. The sin first acknowledged the "abyss", which represents the recognition of the "abyss" in the will of this world and the recognition of it as a rank of gods.
"Sin" regulates and accuses the gods, and it admits that "Abyss" means that the "Abyss" will be bound by the will of this world. Although the bondage is only temporary, it can also weaken the power of the abyss.
But the 'sin' paid a huge price, the despise of the whole world, and because of the recognition of what is beyond the will of the world tree as God, it betrayed the rules of this world and deprived the 'divine nature' by this world."
The nightingale's tone was very heavy.
Gu Feng was the first to hear about 'sin'. He was impressed by this goddess because the first artifact he encountered in the game was called "The Flower of Sin". He also heard NPC's despise of sin in Luocheng Square.
But I never expected that heroes are always lonely and ununderstood. The "sin" is gone. They endured the world's despises but saved the world.
"Then the second god teleports out of this world at the cost of his fall."
"The second god, who is that?" Gu Feng asked curiously.
At this time, the nightingale Knight, who had been extremely arrogant, did not speak, and then she suddenly shed tears. She shook her head in pain: "I can't say its name, it will only cause disaster, but it is a great god, just like sin..."
Gu Feng and several girls were moved by it. Perhaps the second god made too many sacrifices, or perhaps there were too many stories behind it, which made it difficult for people as arrogant as the Nightingale Knight to control their emotions when they mentioned it.
After experiencing so much, Gu Feng also understood that this world has its own laws.
Many things are not that he doesn't want to know, but that he can't know.
Secrets are always sweet and tempting, and people can't help but explore and pursue them, just like Sherman at the time.
At the same time, secrets are also fatal. Knowing too much will only make things worse and worse unless one day he gets the qualification to know.
Therefore, Gu Feng did not ask any questions, just nodded.
"The 'Abyss' has not dissipated, nor will it disappear. It is just temporarily teleported out of this world. It will always come back, and now it has come." The Nightingale Knight pointed to the tall black crystal pillar in front of him.
"Its power is getting stronger and stronger. Now it has no shackles of 'sin' and is about to complete the ritual. Once it returns, it will be the end of the world..." The Nightingale Knight was very pessimistic.
"Maybe even the gods don't know that the little humans, a new species, actually have such a terrible thing hidden in their bodies, and can even produce terrible things like the "Abyss"." The Nightingale Knight murmured to himself.
"This world created human beings, but this world will eventually be destroyed by human beings, and then the next world, the next world... Is this the arrangement of fate?"
......
Everyone hasn't spoken for a long time. Sometimes the truth is always even more terrifying than imagined. Gu Feng once imagined the worst, but this is countless times worse than the worst.
"My task is to protect here. Although I am powerless now, the 'Abyss' has broken the boundary. When the Abyss crystal reaches the ground, it means it has returned." Nightingale looked up at the tall black crystal pillars.
Gu Feng felt a sense of powerlessness and a deep sense of powerlessness.
If this is the real abyss, how should we face it as a human being...
At this time, the Nightingale Knight walked to the little girl and took out a purple badge, which was almost the same as the badges obtained by Winnie the Pooh and the Soul Singer, but the color was different.
She handed the badge to the timid girl: "If they all chose you, then I trust you too."
The timid girl took the badge at a loss. The Nightingale Knight touched her little head. The arrogant smiled rare: "Your road is still long, you have to go on."
Then he turned around and said to everyone, "Go out, you can't stay here for a long time, the abyss will swallow you."
Everyone nodded. The situation was too obvious. When they looked directly at the black crystal, they felt dizzy and nausea, but they could not help but be attracted by the deep darkness.
Before leaving, Gu Feng took the lead in bowing deeply to the Nightingale Knight. Now he fully understood why the game's opening animation is five knights, who are silently guarding this world in the place closest to the darkness.
Just when the atmosphere was heavy, the timid girl suddenly raised her hand weakly and said, "Well, I want to ask, what are those cute frogs?"
The cowardly girl asked, pointing to the toad with its inconsistent proportions.
Everyone looked over in a daze.
The little girl was startled: "I...did I say something wrong..."
The girl from Lu Chi frowned and said, "Jingjing, you actually say this thing is cute!"
"Isn't it cute?" the little girl said in confusion.
Everyone laughed, the timid girl's aesthetic view is really...
The Nightingale Knight also came over and explained: "That is the gatekeeper, the minions of the abyss. They are immortal. Even if they are killed, they will be reborn soon. Only when the abyss destroys them will die. Where they appear means that the abyss has reached there."
.........
After saying goodbye to the Nightingale Knight, everyone came out of the ground. When they passed by the ruins, everyone understood that this was the former military camp, so there were so many supplies, just like a warehouse.
And those poor lost people who wandered around were once heroes. They guarded the abyss, but now they are all eroded by the abyss and have lost their minds.
Everyone was careful to avoid them and no longer had the desire to fight them.
On the way, everyone was amazed at the terror of the abyss and the cruelty of the truth, but more were surprised.
Gu Feng was deeply worried because only he knew that those things really happened, not the plot written by the game maker.
If the abyss is really so terrifying, what if it devours the middle world of the game?
Gu Feng was afraid of whether it would reach the real world and then swallow the world there, but he didn't dare to say it.
When he was even more desperate, the "Abyss" was different from other gods. Gu Feng initially thought of countless ways to deal with God, but when he learned about the real "Abyss", he became desperate...
