Seth's words echoed in the silent space.

The face of the fourth sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven remained calm, but his golden eyes revealed a deep luster.

He was thinking about Seth's words full of Riddler.

He has become accustomed to the habit of people on this land not speaking human words in order to avoid the interaction between information authorities.

Therefore, Xia Xiu's mind was stripping away the unnecessary symbolic metaphors in Seth's words and pointing directly to the core message hidden behind the words.

What is certain is that the "brave new world" in Seth's words is the same as the new world pursued by the Gear Orthodox Church. They both have one characteristic.

——Describes a global anomaly that affects all of Terra.

In the Word of the Ancient Ones, when an event occurs, flowers will suddenly bloom across the globe, covering most of the landmass.

The climate has become extremely pleasant, air pollution has disappeared, and the environment has become more beautiful and harmonious than ever before.

People inexplicably realized that this event heralded the inevitable end of the world, with violence significantly reduced and society becoming more peaceful.

This event occurred within 24 hours before the global extinction of life and was similar to Terra's "Back to Light".

This is undoubtedly an apocalyptic event - all creatures on Terra will be "euthanized".

But who has this kind of power?

Supreme divine entity?

Unknown Memevirus?

Stars?

Xia Xiu tilted his head slightly, and his eyes fell on the white pigeons that were still pecking on the ground. The pigeons seemed unaware of the tense atmosphere surrounding them, and were incredibly quiet.

St. George, who was standing next to Xia Xiu, clearly responded directly to Seth's Riddler behavior:

"Alarmist."

Of course, the Tenth Hero pays attention to the information mentioned by the ancients, and he is also very alert to the [Crisis Sequence] that may involve the destruction of the world.

However, this does not mean that he will be afraid of these apocalypse.

The Kingdom of Heaven has faced, contained, and destroyed many [crisis sequences] that could destroy the world.

Therefore, he will naturally not be afraid of them.

Seth's smile was still gentle, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if he didn't care about St. George's words.

He responded softly:

"Maybe."

Just three words, but they seem to contain deep meaning.

Saint George frowned slightly and subconsciously clenched his hands a little tighter, but Xia Xiu raised a hand to signal him not to move yet.

His eyes withdrew from Seth and fell back on the group of pigeons, his tone calm but with a hint of inquiry.

"Where did these pigeons come from?"

Seth did not answer immediately, but raised his head and slowly pointed his index finger at the sky above his head.

"One of the twin portals in heaven...it seems to be now called by the inhabitants of Terra - the Gates of Heaven."

【Heaven's Gate】.

It is one of the twin gates that stands in the sky of Terra. Since its appearance, its existence has been like an untouchable mystery, standing between the [Crystal Sky] of Terra and reality.

Even the higher-ups of the Kingdom of Heaven are very secretive about the abnormality of the Twin Gates, and they are always vague when mentioning it.

And now, Seth, the ancient man's understatement, seemed to connect these "peace doves" with weapon-neutralizing auras to the mysterious portal.

"Heaven's Gate..."

Xia Xiu repeated in a low voice, frowning slightly, and there was a rare solemnity in his tone.

All kinds of information about the Twin Gates flashed through his mind, and some of the "miracles" in the Kingdom of Heaven may be related to it.

It is the [Spiral Road] that Mu said was the foundation for the establishment of the Kingdom of Heaven.

[Spiral Road] connects the twin gates and leads to them - heaven and hell.

Mu once said that "Spiral Road" is a paintbrush.

The twin doors are scraps, reflections of the world.

Xia Xiu has always guessed that the world he lives in is one of "reflections".

The puzzles become more numerous, and so do the crises.

He couldn't help but ask:

"How much do you know about the Twin Gate?"

Seth's expression was solemn, and there was a rare trace of fear in his eyes, as if he was recalling some unfathomable secret.

He spoke slowly:

"What's behind the door, I don't know what it is, but it gives me the feeling it has something to do with my mission in Ode Papadopolis.

What's behind the door is very similar to the secret room I want to guard."

"Secret room?" Xia Xiu frowned slightly, and his golden eyes shone with a deep light.

Seth nodded and continued:

"That is a blocked passage between the Ode Papadopolis Hall and the Chaohui Hall.

Like any other channel - it connects 'here' to 'elsewhere'.

Unlike other passages, it is old and has stable steps.

The light of the world has long since left this place, and mortals are no longer allowed to walk."

His tone gradually became lower, as if he was being pulled into some disturbing abyss by his memories:

"How should I describe what is behind the chamber... 'the formless form'.

It is a twisted, topsy-turvy spiral that forces life to submit to order.

It is a state of affairs, a shadow cast against the light, a control that prevents all things from transcending their sum.

It is a set of laws that spreads upward, gradually eroding everything above it. It wants everything to perish, and every action requires a sacrifice."

His tone was like a whisper crawling from the depths of the earth, and every word seemed to be telling some kind of chilling truth.

"Something similar to entropy?" Xia Xiu rubbed his chin, his eyes filled with deep thoughts.

Seth shook his head with a complicated expression:

"Part of it, but not all of it."

"That's something bigger."

Xia Xiu was thoughtful and his tone became more cautious:

"Thermodynamics as a whole? The ultimate law of physics?"

Seth paused for a moment, then slowly shook his head: "No, it is a more complex thing. Its existence depends on the cognition of intelligent creatures. Human observation and understanding give it the concept of 'existence'.

But actually, it doesn't exist."

Xia Xiu frowned and repeated Seth's words in a low voice: "Relying on the cognition of intelligent creatures..." His voice was full of questions and thoughts.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Seth, however, remained unmoved, his eyes far away, and his tone remained steady:

"I can explain it to you this way. What exists in the secret room is a kind of 'static void' - an abnormal area beyond common sense. In that area, no matter, energy or information exists.

It emits or absorbs no light, sound, or heat, has no form or texture, cannot be traveled through or touched, and has no dimensions."

Xia Xiu's brows furrowed even deeper, suspicion and alertness flashing in his eyes.

Seth continued:

"Despite this, those who enter the area claim to see sights that closely resemble their surroundings - flora and fauna, buildings and even the sky.

In fact, those scenes are just the completion effect of the human brain on "emptiness".

This is an instinctive compensation of cognition for things that cannot be understood.”

He paused slightly, his eyes fell on Xia Xiu's face, and his tone became deeper:

"But the objects or creatures that enter that area will disappear completely without exception. They no longer exist in reality, as if they have been erased from the concept of existence."

Xia Xiu's eyes narrowed slightly, with a hint of suppressed surprise in his tone:

"Is there really such a thing?"

Seth was silent for a moment, and a complicated smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. In that smile, there was both fear of the unknown and some kind of indescribable relief:

"I also hope it doesn't exist, but the fact is that it is in the secret room, safe and sound."

When he said this, there was a hint of awe that could not be concealed in his tone, "That's why I have to stay here and guard it."

At this moment, silence enveloped the space between the two of them. Xia Xiu thought deeply and involuntarily stretched out his hand to press his temples.
