Chapter 940 Memory
Chapter 940 Memory
After a while, the dragon-man form of Gelong was sweating profusely, and the Great Sage was completely immersed in the illusion woven by Gelong, appearing utterly foolish.
"Alright, hurry up. I can take you into his memories. Remember not to do anything out of line, just follow the memories."
Chen Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward, and then said to Kui Niu beside him:
"General Kui Niu, I'll be relying on you to take care of my health in a bit."
Kui Niu pounded his chest with a thunderous roar:
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I, Old Niu, will take good care of Your Majesty's health and won't let a single hair on Your Majesty fall out."
Chen Cheng stretched out his hands, pointing one finger at the Great Sage's brow and the other at his own brow.
The god of the void of consciousness drew out an invisible thread from between his eyebrows, which was then connected to Chen Cheng's two fingers.
Then Chen Cheng's consciousness rushed into the Great Sage's memories through this passage.
This is a completely different feeling from the spiritual connection and memory sharing that comes with letting go. At this moment, he felt as if he were watching an immersive holographic VR video.
However, the image is now stuck, like a DVD, and all you can see is a jumble of random characters of various colors.
Seeing the jumbled mess of text in front of him, Chen Cheng almost wanted to slap the TV screen like he used to when he saw a glitch in the TV.
Fortunately, this was just a preliminary signal failure. The dragon outside adjusted its influence on the Great Sage's mental frequency, and Chen Cheng was able to see the high-definition movie.
What appeared before him was not the luxurious daily life of a great sage, but an extremely brutal battlefield.
At this moment, he was watching from a third-person perspective, so when he raised his field of vision, he saw that the battlefield stretched for an unknown number of miles and that the number of people involved was also unknown.
The only thing we can see is that the two sides involved in the war are humans and orcs.
Recalling his own memories, Chen Cheng found historical records that matched his account.
That was the most brutal battle before the orcs were completely driven out, and it was also the true decisive battle between the orcs and humans—the Battle of Dawn.
This battle affected almost the entire continent, with both sides having more than 100 million officially registered troops involved, not including those not officially registered.
It can be said that the total number of combatants on both sides, both officially employed and unemployed, exceeds 300 million.
In the end, hundreds of millions died, and the blood collected was enough to form a sea of blood before the battle finally ended when the Orc capital was breached.
However, the real disaster was not this final battle between the two races.
Instead, the Orc royal family used the blood and souls of the soldiers who died in this battle as sacrifices, the entire continent of Carmack as an altar, and at the cost of losing more than 80% of their divine artifacts, to finally summon a true extraterrestrial evil god to destroy the world.
Thinking of the historical records he had read, "When the evil god appears, heaven and earth are overturned, and all races are destroyed," he realized that it was a disaster that killed countless billions of lives in an instant and almost overthrew and destroyed the entire Carmack continent.
As memories faded, events unfolded exactly as Chen Cheng had read in the historical records from the Prince of Pingbei.
The human race defeated the orcs who had always treated them as prey, and the Great Sage was just one of many human races who participated in the war.
He was not a formally enlisted soldier, not because he didn't want to join the army, but because he did not meet the enlistment standards.
In this battle, he and his people participated voluntarily as unofficial members.
However, when the real war came, all that was on the battlefield was bloodshed and carnage, not the heroic epic he had imagined in his youth.
In this battle, because he was young and lacked combat experience, many of his older clansmen died protecting him.
Looking at the mangled corpses of his people, the Great Sage let out a mournful roar.
And he was not the only one like him; after the battle, it can be said that every family of the human race was filled with grief.
After trying and finding no fast-forward function, Chen Cheng flew back to the Great Sage's side.
Despite the vastness of the battlefield depicted in his memory, Chen Cheng could only truly perceive a range of no more than 10,000 meters. Beyond that range lay the Great Sage's blind spot.
Seeing the boy kneeling and howling in grief before the corpses of his own people, Chen Cheng could sense his emotions.
That is the belief that the weak want to become stronger after seeing their loved ones die.
However, judging from what happened later, it seems that he did not uphold the bottom line of his people, but instead sided with the evil god who brought about the catastrophe of destruction.
By this time, the human race had established a military merit system. Although the Great Sages and others were not officially part of the military, their participation in the war was considered as killing enemies and serving their country.
Therefore, his people were also regarded as sacrificed heroes and buried in the Heroes' Tomb along with other fallen soldiers.
Just as everyone was dealing with the post-war affairs, the whole world trembled violently. While everyone wondered if it was an earthquake, only Chen Cheng knew that it must be the arrival of that damned world-destroying evil god.
At the same time, everyone's gaze was fixed on the sky, and their eyes were filled with utter terror.
Chen Cheng also looked up, but for some reason, he couldn't see anything.
Although Chen Cheng could not see the evil god, he could clearly see the traces of the evil god's actions.
Because at that moment, a huge gap suddenly appeared in the sky, and then this gap moved in a straight line down toward the Carmack continent below.
Clearly, this was the evil god's attack, shattering the void and attempting to destroy the entire world with a single punch.
At this moment, Chen Cheng could sense the terror emanating from the Great Sage's memories.
Just when everyone was about to die, just as the spatial rift was about to strike the ground, a small mosaic rose up from the horizon to meet the oncoming massive rift.
The small mosaic was so tiny, and since it was a mosaic, it looked to Chen Cheng like a regular pixel. If he hadn't seen the huge gap stop and then being pushed upwards a distance, he wouldn't have noticed it.
Upon seeing this small patch of mosaic, one could hear everyone below shouting "Your Majesty!"
Chen Cheng knew that this must be his ancestor in this life, Thorn Flower.
It's just a mystery why he's a pixelated mess in the Great Sage's memory; otherwise, he'd love to see what his ancestor actually looks like.
Amidst the cheers of the humans on the continent, Lyca swung her fists again and again, slamming them towards the gods in the sky.
