Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 809

[Chapter 790 The rotten future]

In the boundless and empty chaos, the deformed and twisted sun burned quietly, and the flesh and blood under the false corona piled up into chilling “stars”. It was completely impossible to see what those piles should have looked like before.

Black Sun, Creeping Sun Disk, Real Sun God… Behind so many names, what should it be, and what was it in the past?

Is it the star that was once enveloped by a Dyson sphere? Is it the civilization that built that Dyson sphere? Or is it “evidence” that all those things once existed?

The Black Sun seems to be the most special one that Duncan has come into contact with in this world. “It is a huge hybrid, a creation of a glorious civilization, a star that shelters civilization, In addition, the civilization itself has accumulated and mutated into what it is today, and this may be one of the reasons why

its “decay” process is faster than that of other civilizations.

Duncan .

He still didn’t agree to this request because he still had concerns about this distorted star. He could feel that Black Sun seemed to be hiding many secrets. This person who seemed to be “exiled” outside the boundless sea

… It seems that he knows a lot of information that even the four gods don’t know, which is very suspicious.

However, the other party is obviously not ready to tell these secrets now, and Duncan has no intention of pursuing it. Just like Black Sun himself said, the end is near. , but they still have a little time to consider, weigh, and build the necessary understanding and trust.

“I can’t agree to you yet,” Duncan said, telling the other person his thoughts, “I still don’t know you well enough. , and more importantly… I am still not very sure about the plan to reshape the world, at least until I confirm these, I can’t make any promises to you.

“It’s understandable,” a low-pitched tremor came from within Black Sun, “Then go verify your plan and find your way… You will always come to me, and I am very confident in this.”

Duncan raised his eyebrows and didn’t say anything else. He was just suddenly curious: “Will you keep this ‘projection’ here forever? If I want to find you, I can just come here?”

“My power is difficult to enter. The inner layer of the shelter, and even if I enter by force, it will harm the mortal world. But here, my activities are not restricted, and I don’t have to worry about anything,” Black Sun explained patiently, “I will leave this projection behind, And as long as you are still at the ‘border’, you can call me at any time… I can hear you.

Duncan nodded slightly: “Okay, I understand.”

In the boundless chaos, the black sun trembled slightly, and then became quiet. Although Duncan has not yet agreed to its request, it seems that it is what it wants now. As a result,

the tentacles burned by the sun’s corona curled up quietly, and the huge one-eye drooped slightly, and one third of it was slowly wrapped in flesh and blood. This seemed to be a “resting” posture.

“It’s so quiet… Just when Duncan thought this exchange was over, he suddenly heard the misshapen sun whispering softly to himself like a dream, “I haven’t felt this kind of thing for a long, long time.” ‘Quiet’… Even the burning of the flames seems to have become something tolerable.

Duncan was stunned for a moment, and quickly understood what the other person meant by “quiet”. He looked at it with a complicated expression: …Now you can’t hear the voices praying and offering sacrifices to you. “

Yes, I can’t hear them anymore, as if they never existed,” Black Sun said softly, “This… should be the result I have been looking forward to.”

Duncan tried to discern the emotion from the other person’s tone. He wanted to know whether Black Sun was relaxing when he said these words, or whether he was a little sad, but in the end he couldn’t tell anything from the too calm voice.

He just had more understanding and thoughts about the “corruption” of gods.

…What will happen when the decay reaches the final step?” He suddenly asked, “Will you disappear? Or will you fall into a… Although you exist, you can no longer establish a ‘connection’ with all things. The state? As you said…forgotten by the world?”

“I don’t know, because no one has entered the final stage of decay, and no one knows what will happen,” Black Sun said slowly “But it is foreseeable that the world in the shelter will continue to “slip” in the process….

“A long time ago, we used our own cognition and memory to shape the world from the burning ashes of the Great Annihilation. The ‘materials’ used to build shelters have been lost, and the shelters built with these ‘materials’ will sooner or later

disintegrate with the ‘rot’ of the gods. That is when we gradually forget everything about the old world. , when we are gradually festering away.

“One day, the ocean will forget the appearance of the waves, life will forget how to die, the fire will not remember how to burn, the wind will stop flowing, and the clouds will fall from the sky to the sea… Even if the pilot was originally built The ‘sun’ rose into the sky again, unable to stop the collapse process originating from the foundation of the world…

Duncan listened quietly to what Black Sun said, but recalled the island of black stone in his mind palace, recalling the Queen Leviathan who died quietly in the palace.

In order to prevent her “rot” from spreading to the real dimension, she imprisoned her “death” in the time stream in the palace… However, even this “imprisonment” has now come to an end.

“This sounds like a bleak ending like the end of the fire.” Duncan said with emotion.

“The end of time is always dim, just like the brilliant stars will always cool down and die,” Black Sun said softly, “What’s more, from the day this shelter world was born, the decay of the gods has been Throughout its history, things have been peeling off from the real dimension, and who can detect it… They have disappeared.”

Duncan listened silently, and then his heart suddenly jumped and he noticed. The last words the other party said: …What does this mean?”

Black Sun was silent for a few seconds, then slowly asked: “Do you still remember how many intelligent races there are in the boundless sea?”

Duncan heard this. He was stunned, and for some reason he felt his mind was in a trance, but he still spoke subconsciously: “I remember there are four races…”

He suddenly stopped.

“Which four?” Black Sun asked lowly and calmly.

Duncan didn’t answer. He already understood what happened. Huge shock echoed in his heart, and he didn’t know how to speak.

After a brief silence, Black Sun’s voice remained calm: “You still remember that they existed, but you don’t know who they are or what they look like. I also remember that they existed, but I can’t remember them either. What it’s like…because those who should have remembered them have forgotten them in a slow but irresistible decay, and in the end, the world corrected this result…at the expense of the shelter’s operational life.

“Fire Usurper, this is what has been happening in our world. It has happened before and it is still happening now. The disappearance of the Black Sun from the eyes of the world is just an insignificant link in this repeated disintegration process

.

.

“There is nothing to be sad about, death and forgetfulness have always been like this.

….

With the sound of the creaking door axis turning, the large door leading to the exterior of Alice’s Mansion gradually closed, false but brilliant The sunlight was isolated from the door, as if it had never existed from the beginning.

On both sides of the hall, the tall and narrow glass windows seemed to be covered with a layer of dark stains, and thorny shadows circled and blocked the windows. Through those windows, no shadow of sunlight could be seen at all, as if the sunlight was just a shadow. The “concept” that shines on the door will only appear outside the building when the door of the mansion is opened.

Duncan returned to the dim hall and stood silently in this excessively silent building for a long time before calling out softly. tone.

Alice stood quietly beside him. Miss Doll looked here with some worry, and then looked back in the direction with a little nervousness.

She seemed to be holding back a lot of questions, but she didn’t know what to ask specifically.

“I didn’t even understand what you and that ‘Black Sun’ were talking about,” she scratched her head and said honestly, “but looking at you…it seems like the topic is quite serious and heavy.”

Duncan turned around After glancing at Miss Doll, his tense expression suddenly relaxed a little after a moment.

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand,” he smiled, reaching out and pressing Alice’s hair, “These are all things I should consider.”

“Oh,” Alice nodded, but then a new question came up , then do you want to agree to that Black Sun? It’s what it told you…the location of the new world and so on.”

Although she couldn’t understand most of the content exchanged between the captain and Black Sun, at least there were some. She understood part of it, that is, Black Sun seemed to be asking for help from the captain.

Duncan fell silent, thinking seriously under Miss Doll’s clear gaze.

“I don’t know yet, but I’m very interested in the evidence it holds about the New World,” he said slowly, “and I’m also very concerned about another thing…

Alice is crooked. Tilting his head: “Another thing?”

“Black Sun, where is its body hidden?” Duncan gently stretched out his hand to straighten Alice’s head, which was tilting her head. “I am becoming more and more curious about this.” “

Alice listened with a vague understanding: Then…we are going to find its true identity?”

“No,” Duncan smiled and shook his head. That will happen in the future. Now we still have business to do. .

“Business?”

Duncan’s expression was subtle: …. Have you forgotten about analyzing the route?”

“Well, I forgot!”
