Chapter 768 The End
"Haha," Zoval sneered, and continued, "None of the strong men here are truly kind. Only when you stand on their side can you feel their kindness. However, once you are on the opposite side of them, they will do whatever it takes to kill you." There was a hint of resentment in his tone.
After hearing this, Yun showed a puzzled expression and asked, "From what you said, it seems that you have a lot of resentment towards them."
Zoval's mouth corners slightly raised, he smiled and replied: "It's okay, when you become stronger and stronger like I did in the past, you will naturally understand."
Yun was still confused and continued to ask: "But you haven't told me who this 'it' is? And how did it create the ancient gods? Since it is so powerful, why doesn't it do it itself?"
Zoval stared at the clouds in the sky, his eyes revealing an indescribable complex emotion. After a moment of silence, he finally spoke slowly: "We no longer know its name. The long river of time has buried it deeply, making it a forgotten existence. Only those who have personally experienced that era and survived can recall the existence of such an existence in the depths of their memory. However, I personally usually call it the Lord of the Void."
However, when Yun heard this, his mind went blank, as if the whole world was collapsing in an instant. There has always been a legend about such a mysterious existence in the game, but since all the ancient gods have been destroyed, there seems to be no particularly famous characters on the side of the void, so many players just treat it as a fictional story. Unexpectedly, this legend is actually true, and I have been chatting with it for so long!
"But...but how could it be related to the explosion of the mother planet?" Yun asked doubtfully. He felt that he had known too many things during this period of time, so many that he couldn't wrap his head around it.
Zoval took a deep breath and said slowly, "When the mother planet exploded, the scene was simply devastating, and all life was blown to ashes in an instant. It was only after a long period of observation and analysis that I gradually figured out some clues. Although my conclusion may not be completely correct, I think it is very close to the truth of the matter."
Yun listened to Zoval's explanation and nodded in agreement. After all, the explosion of the mother planet was too violent. The energy that was split was enough to awaken a Titan. It was hard to imagine how powerful it was. The energy released by the explosion had destroyed most of the things, and it was not easy for Zoval to analyze some clues from those tiny clues.
The forces on the mother planet are numerous and complex, but the most powerful among them are undoubtedly the two forces of light and darkness. As for what happened specifically, Zoval did not know. But what is certain is that the light side has an absolute upper hand in this battle.
Faced with such a dilemma, the dark forces, that is, the void lords, pondered and finally came up with a solution. It turned out that both void energy and light energy have many properties, and one of the properties of void energy is devouring. It can convert other energy into its own energy, thereby continuously enhancing its own strength.
Zoval took a deep breath and continued, "The Void Lords saw this characteristic of void energy and decided to use it to turn the situation around."
However, hearing this, Yun felt a little confused. He couldn't help but think, what about the Titans? Wasn't the Titans also part of the mother planet? Why are there only two forces left now, the Light and the Dark? Moreover, these two forces don't seem to be as famous as imagined. Even the Holy Light doesn't seem to be as well-known as the Titans. As for the Dark Force, although the Ancient Gods that were pushed out are somewhat famous, they are still slightly inferior to the Titans.
Could it be that after the explosion, something else happened that was unknown to the public? Yun's mind kept flashing through various speculations, and he decided to continue listening to Zovar's story, hoping to find some clues to solve the mystery in his heart.
"The Lord of the Void has gathered all the devouring energy into one stream. This energy is like a surging torrent, containing endless destructive power. He plans to use this powerful devouring energy to destroy the forces of light in one fell swoop and completely wipe out the light from this world." Zoval's voice echoed in the air, with a hint of tension and solemnity.
"However, such a huge amount of energy thrown out directly, even the dumbest person can detect the abnormality. The Lord of the Void will naturally not be so reckless. He cleverly gave this ball of energy a certain amount of wisdom, allowing it to respond flexibly in battle."
In a thrilling battle between light and darkness, this ball of devouring energy endowed with wisdom is like a cunning venomous snake, waiting for an opportunity to strike. When a flaw appears in the defense line of the light forces, it rushes forward without hesitation, piercing the core of the light forces like lightning.
This sudden attack caught the light forces off guard, and they were simply unable to resist this powerful devouring energy. In an instant, the light forces suffered a heavy blow and suffered heavy losses.
"And then what? Did the energy get out of control?" Yun interrupted anxiously. He was very curious about the development of the story.
Zoval nodded and continued, "Yes, although the wisdom bestowed upon this energy by the Lord of the Void is quite limited, its own enormous energy and the absorption of light energy have enabled its intelligence to grow rapidly. Moreover, since no one is guiding or teaching it, the only purpose of its existence is to continuously absorb and grow stronger."
Yun's mind began to imagine a terrifying scene: one side was at an absolute disadvantage, and it desperately released a force that neither side could resist, which eventually forced the originally hostile parties to join forces to fight against this terrifying existence. Although this plot was a bit cliché and even a bit melodramatic, it seemed that in many cases, this was a helpless choice.
Zoval's voice continued to ring in Yun's ears: "It's like a bottomless pit, constantly devouring everything around it - light, darkness, and even other energies. In the blink of an eye, everyone felt unprecedented fear. Everyone was worried that this monster would find them, because at this moment, it had become invincible."
Yun became increasingly anxious, and he couldn't help but ask, "What should they do? They can't just stand there and watch, right?"
"Well, after several fierce battles, although we succeeded in preventing it from expanding further, all parties suffered considerable losses. Therefore, we must come up with a feasible solution. At this time, they turned their attention to chaos energy, a kind of energy that no one can control. Their idea is actually very simple. Since energy conversion itself is also an energy-consuming process, then if chaos energy can be converted into a usable form, wouldn't it be equivalent to getting a supplement? However, they overlooked a key problem, that is, chaos energy is not available to everyone. It can be imagined that if it can really convert chaos energy, then the energy consumed is probably far greater than what is obtained." Zoval said slowly.
"Haha, they really miscalculated." Yun couldn't help but feel helpless, and sighed in his heart, it turned out that many things failed in the end because of thinking too simply.
"Yes, they did miscalculate." Zoval continued with a wry smile, "It is not difficult to gather chaos energy. After the Devourer devoured the chaos energy, it consumed a lot of energy as they expected. Moreover, it was simply unable to convert this chaos energy into a form that it could use. There is no doubt that their plan was successful in this step, but..."
"What happened?" Yun's curiosity was completely aroused, and he couldn't wait to ask.
"The Devourer is not stupid. These energies cannot be utilized, and will not continue to accumulate in the body. Then he compressed the chaotic energy and sent it back." Zoval said.
Hearing this, Yun couldn't help but feel very surprised. He knew something about chaotic energy. This mixed energy was very powerful. Once it was released, the consequences would be disastrous. And now, this chaotic energy was compressed. Wouldn't its power be comparable to a nuclear bomb?
Zoval seemed to see Yun's worry, and he continued, "Not only did the light and dark forces suffer considerable damage, but even the mother planet was not spared. The energy of the mother planet began to leak out in large quantities, which was a huge disaster for the mother planet."
Yun's mood grew heavier, and he asked nervously, "Did the mother planet explode just like that?"
Zoval shook his head. "That's not the case. However, they soon discovered that this method was not very effective. Because the energy of the mother planet leaked out, life on other planets grew rapidly, which was obviously something they didn't want to see."
At this point, Zovar's face showed a trace of resentment, and he gritted his teeth and continued: "So, they came up with a more cruel method..."
Yun knew that things were coming to a critical moment.
"They attracted the Devourers to the side of those planets, and then..." Zoval's voice trembled slightly, and his face showed an expression of grief and anger, as if the memory was so unforgettable that he could not continue to tell it calmly.
"Then those planets were ruthlessly devoured by the Devourer!" Zoval's voice suddenly rose, with a hint of despair and anger. "Even though the people on those planets have tried their best to resist, they are completely powerless in the face of such a powerful enemy!"
He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, but he didn't feel any pain. "There are hundreds of millions and billions of lives on each planet!" Zoval's voice was filled with sorrow, "They were easily taken away by the Devourer, without any mercy or regret!"
Yun looked at Zoval's excitement and couldn't help but feel a little strange, "Huh? But isn't your planet Nizet still there? Why are you so excited?"
Zoval's body shook violently. He turned his head and stared at Yun, the grief and anger in his eyes becoming more intense. "Still there?" His voice was full of bitterness. "You know the Outer Realm, the planets there suffered the same fate. And in Nizet, where I am, it was also because countless lives used their own energy to attract star energy, and countless strong people used their lives to trigger the explosion of star energy, that the Devourer was barely injured!"
Zoval's emotions became more and more agitated, his body trembling slightly with anger, "Do you know how much this cost? Countless lives have been lost just to give others a chance to survive!"
"Well, it must be very big." Yun nodded heavily. He certainly knew what the destruction of a planet meant. It would be accompanied by the disappearance of countless lives.
"You don't know, the Outlands had actually been in trouble for a long time. Their strong men were all trying every way to escape, so when the final destruction came, their losses were relatively limited. However, we are completely different. We used the entire planet as a weapon and launched a final counterattack. All the strong men voluntarily gave up their lives and were willing to die along with hundreds of millions of lives." Zoval's voice trembled slightly, as if the memory of the tragic scene was too much for him to bear.
He continued, "You can't even imagine the level of tragedy. The huge magic circle is like a bottomless pit, constantly devouring lives. Those who knew they were about to die, but they walked forward without hesitation. And the strong men who stayed behind to activate the magic circle could only watch their loved ones, who they protected, walk to the magic circle they designed one by one and sacrifice their precious lives. Can you understand that feeling?"
Zoval's emotions were clearly broken, and his words were filled with pain and despair.
Yun couldn't imagine it and didn't dare to imagine it, but at least he could understand Zoval's anger towards those forces, which would not subside even after thousands or even tens of thousands of years.
"You know, when the strong men finally activated the magic circle, no one came out. In fact, they didn't have to sacrifice themselves, but no one took that step. In the end, they only said one thing to us survivors: don't seek revenge and stay away from them." Do you know? Can you understand? Your teachers, your friends, your predecessors, one by one, just like that..." Zoval collapsed again.
"So you want revenge?" Yun felt very sympathetic towards Zoval.
"No, I won't seek revenge. I promised them that I wouldn't seek revenge. I'm just saving other planets. As long as they are still there, lives on the planets will always be harmed. I don't want the pain I have suffered to continue in this universe. I want to end it as much as possible." Zoval raised his head and looked at Yun.
"I'll help you!" Yun Ye nodded.
