Chapter 137 The Unspeakable Thing

The invisible enemy. Beast of change. A snake that is not a snake. self-devouring.

These are all names that once belonged to [The Great Enemy], and they all show one side of it.

The reason why it is called Zeng... is because it does not have a formal and fixed name, and a simple ceremony such as "naming" cannot bind it. On the contrary, it will increase its strength.

It is different from the principle that after the god dies, he loses his name.

This is because worms are "living creatures".

Its concept, composition, and capabilities are subject to change at any time.

It may be it, or it may be them. Not only the core will change, but the appearance will also change, its specific location, and even its era and world will continue to change... Most importantly, its existence cannot be known by ordinary things.

Trying to define it precisely with a definite, unchanging name is like asking for a sword.

Even Chiron, who has been in close contact with the worm, can only understand one aspect of it.

Even the name "worm" is just a synonym - because it is a huge worm that drilled out of the belly of Tianche Yushou. So in the minds of people who know it, can understand who this "worm" refers to.

But if they don't know this secret, then when they say the name "snake that is not a snake", only knowledge about "snake that is not a snake" will appear.

The reason why the gods accept the "God Name" is to fix themselves in this world. It's like when you think of a name, its image and related knowledge will emerge in your mind.

But the worm is just the opposite...it doesn't exist in this world, and it doesn't need to fix itself in this world at all.

Obviously, things like "names" can't catch up with it and will be swallowed by it-it can choose by itself, accept certain names, or not accept certain names.

Accept this name, then it can get the hidden power in this name; if you don't accept this name, then people cannot remember it through this name.

Therefore, the more people study it and understand it... the more powerful and irresistible it becomes.

"It's like when the elves understood the theory of 'snake that is not a snake', the worm gained the wisdom of a philosopher; the dragon called it the 'beast of change' in the past, so it gained the ability to mutate all things. essence."

Jawon said calmly: "'Worm' symbolizes its essence as a parasite—it also because of this original name,

And gained the ability to draw power from the depths of the earth. This is also the source of its power to devour the world.

"It is the apocalyptic incarnation that intelligent creatures cannot fight against... If the Skycarriage started all this, then the worm will destroy all this.

"When it is named 'Invisible Enemy', it means that it can borrow the power of the fallen sky chariot to attack the enemy from the perspective of fate, past and future... This is what the centaurs call it.

"If [fate is the rut of the celestial cart], then the worm is like a snake. It also leaves a 'rut' when it walks on the ground. And because of its special relationship with the celestial cart, it can be transformed into 'The track of the heavenly cart'...by manipulating fate, launching an 'invisible attack' from the future to the past, or from the past to the future."

"...an attack from the future?"

Annan frowned: "In that case, how can we be on guard?"

"Unfortunately, there is just no way to guard against it."

Javon shrugged: "That's why worms are extremely dangerous.

"The worm cannot be killed, otherwise it will be reborn in the imaginary world or the dream world. And the skin of the worm can allow it to travel through the world at will... Once it is out of the seal, it means that the worm will never be found again.

"But if you just seal it, although it cannot break the seal from the inside out, mortals from the outside can still use the worm ritual to steal its power.

"During this process, the Cult of Worms was inevitably born. The more people understand worms, the more they will realize that it cannot be resisted. There will always be people who worship this great power... Yes, even if it is 'this The Enemy of Time' must admit that this power is indeed great and extraordinary."

"...The worm teaches."

Annan murmured.

He repeated the name.

Suddenly appeared in his mind, before Zhuoya mentioned the worm ceremony and the voice of the worm religion to him:

"—This ritual was not originally used in this way."

"—Before you were born, Your Majesty, we have already investigated the Worm Cult..."

Probably around that time...

"Winterbreaker" Vladimir has only come into contact with the Worm Cult for the first time.

At first, he served as a guardian and punisher, and went to clear the Worm Cult.

After that, Vladimir himself was infected by this power, and also began to worship the worm.

"Is it because the elves used worm rituals to complete distributed computing, which led to the leak of the seal?"

Annan couldn't help asking.

Yawen raised his eyebrows.

"Distributed computing... that's a good name. The elves didn't name that technology at the time, they just used all the power they could for granted.

"But it's not because they extracted too much power from the worm, which caused the leak."

The corners of Yaweng's mouth rose slightly, revealing an incomparably mocking smile: "Because the Great Barrier of Unification itself... is the seal of the 'worm'.

"The essence of the worm is the 'shadow of the celestial cart' corresponding to the light of the celestial cart. It must be sealed in a certain entity. By the way, the power corresponding to this name makes it impossible for worms to ascend as long as they exist in the world. Once this entity is broken, it is freed from its bondage and reverts back to its incorporeal state.

"For the elves at that time, they believed that the only thing in the world that would never be destroyed was the Unified Great Barrier.

"'Anyway, if the Great Barrier collapses, then the world will probably be destroyed too'... That's right, that's what they said at the time. So they transferred the ceremony of sealing the worms to the Great Barrier."

——As a result, after more than a thousand years passed, the Great Barrier really collapsed.

But the world is not destroyed.

Thus, the worm escaped from jail.

"The elves started out as silver-rank transcendents. They couldn't resist the gray mist. Therefore, some of them chose to accept the power of the worm and tried to escape from this world.

"And at that time... the last emperor resolutely awakened the [Three Sirens], and used the power of the white girl to materialize the fantasy of 'the imperial capital instantly sank in the deep sea', making those parasitized by worms directly and completely destroyed.

"Before that, he also used [Sixth Purana] to throw the worm into the future more than 180 years later. Then he used [Fourth History] to confirm the fate of the worm being sealed. "

Only the Fourth Historiography can rewrite the fate of the worm.

Just as it can also control Annan.

This is a great super spell that is specially used in the world to restrain "Tianche" and "Tianche Rider". But it can also be used to restrain worms...

Annan quickly realized another problem.

That is [Sixth Phase Purana] is not a one-time item for exile. It has a "return point".

"So, the emperor sealed the return point of the worm... and swallowed it into his stomach. He sealed himself in the sarcophagus, and sank into the deep sea together with the imperial capital."

Jawon exclaimed: "He is indeed a ruthless person. He can control the curse of [Three Sirens] with only his own will... It can be said to be quite decisive, and he dares to make up his mind. If it wasn't for that accident, maybe Yaser The Lan Empire will flourish again in his hands."

"Accident?"

"It's the 'those' unexpected people who destroyed the Great Barrier."

"You mean..."

Annan suddenly realized something: "Is there a traitor from the Worm Cult in the upper echelons of the empire?"
