A Scroll of Infinite Glory

Chapter 572 Another Flight (Part 2)

The offensive launched from the kingdom of the god of wealth initially appeared to be nothing more than a shower of gold coins flying by like meteors.

However, upon closer inspection, one will discover that each gold coin contains countless images of human and non-human beings.

The circulation of wealth brings prosperity to civilization, the transfer of wealth brings progress to history, and the abundance of wealth brings a happy life.

However, wealth itself is also a torrent of desires, generating countless conspiracies and killings for its circulation, as the transfer of wealth leads to wars that cause civilization to regress.

A heart captivated by wealth makes it difficult to experience lasting peace and satisfaction, no matter how much wealth one accumulates.

Whether positive or negative, wealth is an enduring driving force in the world.

This kind of power can change flesh and blood, people's hearts, mountains and rivers, real estate, confuse right and wrong, and reverse life, death, joy and sorrow.

So, it seemed like only a blink of an eye, and those flying gold coins were completely unrecognizable.

Tiny gold coins transform into enormous planets, which are then revitalized by the power of wealth, becoming menacing war fortresses.

The small gold coin originally contained boundless passion, but that surging life was also distorted by the power of wealth, turning into a highly poisonous dregs.

Small gold coins multiply into more gold, mountains of gold and silver, adorning a sacred tree that can grant wishes. However, the price of making a wish always brings lifelong regrets in unexpected places.

Billions of gold coins streaked across the sky, representing billions of divine arts and artifacts simultaneously attacking Guanluoyang.

The things manifested by these gold coins mostly lack the ability to directly confront or attack them.

However, when Guan Luoyang needed to suppress Lan Daotianwu and block the Origin Fire Divine Furnace, he had to be even more wary of those seemingly harmless divine magical phenomena.

We must not be negligent in the slightest when it comes to such pervasive infiltration and unexpected tampering.

Compared to Ponzi's methods, Diablo's attacks seemed much more "brutal".

His dark red, pumpkin-shaped hellish dimension was nothing more than a constant stream of sulfurous boulders.

The black and red light, the internal energy reaction, completely mimics the process of a supernova explosion, continuously creating supernova impacts with hellish energy characteristics.

However, this seemingly brutal attack clearly had a subsequent turn of events.

Any area struck by this hellish supernova becomes extremely vibrant, endlessly generating thoughts dominated by the seven negative emotions, producing countless combinations, and condensing into new souls.

When the divine magic of the god of wealth passes through these areas, these hellish souls immediately gain abundant, even excessive, energy, and begin to shape their unique civilizations.

Through the descendants of all kinds of hellish demons, generation after generation, they relentlessly plunder, corrupt, and destroy the enemy until death.

These attacks were more than just a physical and psychological shock to Merlin.

He couldn't understand it at all.

Such unbridled attacks, which trample on common sense and reason, could potentially drive the entire civilization in the universe insane or cause mutations, even if only briefly observed, for most civilizations in the universe.

When a seventeen-year-old boy from a small town sees these things, he should have been completely destroyed by the connection of his gaze. From the remnants of his flesh and soul, he should have transformed into a monster completely different from the past, becoming a part of the God of Wealth or the Hell of Demons.

However, Merlin did not undergo that change.

He even felt refreshed, and the uncomfortable feelings he had before falling asleep disappeared.

It seems that there is something very firm, solid, and indestructible inside him, but he just hadn't realized it before.

But today, stimulated by these scenes before me, that solid essence begins to emerge.

He blinked, his eyes darted around, and he found that his vision had become much clearer.

Not only can you see the hazy figure holding the golden lotus, but you can also see the attacks rushing in from afar, and even see how the Lord of the Golden Lotus deals with those attacks.

Above the long river of time, Guan Luoyang's breath became wind, his exhalation became clouds, and the white vapor rising from his hair transformed into rain and snow, while the sounds he emitted became lightning and thunder.

As these things interacted, countless vast array diagrams appeared around him.

In some formation diagrams, a hundred flowers bloom, and ink flows like a river; in others, a chessboard is laid out, with black and white pieces intertwined; and in still others, bluebirds soar, and clouds rise and fall in a magnificent display…

These are just ordinary scenes that appear on the surface of ordinary life-bearing planets, yet they contain truths that can be applied in many universes.

No matter how many variations or how fierce and powerful the attacks launched by the God of Wealth's kingdom and the Great Demon God of Hell are, as long as they get close to Guan Luoyang, they will be swallowed up by these array diagrams.

In the instant of the clash between offense and defense, the profound mystery emanating from those array diagrams depicting ordinary scenery was in no way inferior to the wealth magic that used the characteristics of an entire civilization as a gold coin, and it was even more fearless of the magnificent artistic conception such as the evolution of supernovae.

"That's amazing..."

Merlin couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Then suddenly, he saw that the towering figure, surrounded by the boundless array, seemed to glance in his direction out of the corner of his eye.

In an instant, all the miraculous sights vanished, and the surroundings turned into darkness.

"You're awake."

A voice, both unfamiliar and somewhat familiar, reached his ears. Surprised, Merlin looked around, puzzled.

It felt like I was all alone in this dark environment, but although it was very dark, it wasn't scary at all; instead, it had a cool and comfortable feel to it.

It feels like taking a nap under a cloudless, starry night, with a cool breeze blowing.

"Who are you?"

Merlin looked up. "Are you the one who just laughed?"

"What do you mean by 'hahaha'? My heroic battle against hordes of demons, how come all you get in your mouth is a 'hahaha'?"

The voice sounded a bit annoyed. "And you gave me a huge discount when you bought your spaceships from me; those spaceships were practically dirt cheap!"

Merlin exclaimed in surprise, "A spaceship? When did I ever buy a spaceship?"

"Huh, you're even dreaming about the river of time? Does that mean your buried memories and powers haven't recovered yet?"

The voice in the darkness coalesced into a figure. Guan Luoyang circled Mai Lin twice, his expression suddenly becoming somewhat subtle.

Although the Book of Time of the God of Wealth was originally a nine-star artifact, even with his power to activate it, it was not enough to directly change the history of this universe with many seven-star and eight-star powerhouses.

However, after obtaining advanced energy from the Rainbow Sea from the Galaxy Eye's mainframe, the Book of Time had the opportunity to overwrite the original history with a completely new one.

However, any powerful individual who reaches the seventh star level is already able to have a clear sense of crisis amidst the changes in the multiverse and can resist them.

Therefore, when history books are rewritten, in order to reduce trouble, these powerful people are given better treatment to reduce their sense of crisis and resistance.

Merlin was originally supposed to be assigned to a high-level organization within the Galaxy Eye, but Guan Luoyang intervened in time, causing the history books to overlook the existence of certain people.

As a result, because he was too busy at the time, when he intervened, it collided with the influence of the historical records and caused a small mistake, which instead turned into a scene where both sides sealed Merlin at the same time.

"Well……"

Guan Luoyang's expression was grave. "I didn't expect Galaxy Eye to be so ruthless towards you, actually resorting to such a vicious attack."

"Unfortunately, I am currently too busy to do anything else, and in order to avoid attracting their attention, I cannot restore your power all at once."

"Sigh, let me help you recover your memory first."

Guan Luoyang sighed, slightly changed the mudra with his hands, and recited the seven words "Buddha's Crown Victory Dharani".

These seven words resounded like a great bell in Mailin's ears.

The thick fog that I had never been aware of before was peeled away layer by layer, revealing its clear true nature.

Although both were born on Earth, in another memory, the highest authority in the universe was the Interstellar Alliance.

It was also a remote place, but in another memory of Earth, there was at least a quantum communication base station that the Interstellar Alliance had promoted and established for free.

The Earthlings there can browse all kinds of information on the StarNet at any time. There are no strict regulations on adulthood and childbirth, no medical tradition of advising people to die first, no work habits that encourage sudden death, and no no-fly regulations that even shoot down kites...

Merlin suddenly realized that the memories of Earth under the rule of the Galactic Eye seemed to be filled with thorns and spikes in countless details of life.

If there weren't another memory to compare it to, even if one bled to death surrounded by thorns, became timid and shrinking, withered and dying, many people probably wouldn't realize where the real source of this pressure was.

As his true memories were retrieved, countless pieces of knowledge about combat also flooded into Merlin's mind.

But he wasn't paying attention to those things at all; instead, he was almost greedily absorbing the everyday life from his real memories.

Fortunately, time seemed to pass unnoticed in this dark dream. It took Merlin a long time to come back to his senses, and Guan Luoyang did not urge him.

"I remember that after watching that battle from the spaceport of the Kingdom of Karen, I said goodbye to Uncle Taiyuan and the others and prepared to return to Earth."

Merlin's recollection came to an end, "After returning to Earth for only a few days, I felt a faint yellow light spreading through time, rewriting history. After that, I think I tried to explore the river of time to fight, and after that, I can't remember..."

"Then, you were defeated by the power of history."

Guan Luoyang said firmly, "These people have turned all living beings in the universe into cogs in their hellish factory. Their actions are truly outrageous."

Merlin wholeheartedly agreed: "Compared to life now, the era when the Interstellar Alliance ruled was simply paradise."

"Don't compare how bad it is. The Interstellar Alliance is in a state that needs to be changed."

Guan Luoyang said, "Of course, the most important thing right now is to figure out a way to defeat Ponzi and his group first."

Merlin nodded and said, "So what should we do next? Can you awaken the memories of the other powerful individuals as well?"

Guan Luoyang raised a finger and shook it, saying, "No, no, no, that's useless. Some people are the same whether they're awake or not."

"To defeat Ponzi and his faction, the most important thing is to kill the main brain of the Galaxy Eye, or at least temporarily block the main brain of the Galaxy Eye from drawing energy from the Rainbow Sea, thus cutting off the supply of advanced energy to the Book of Time."

"And if you want to achieve this goal, your wife is an indispensable part."

Merlin paused for a moment: "My old... Cynthia?"

"Wait, wait, Cynthia and I aren't in that kind of relationship yet."

The boy quickly waved his hand, "We haven't gotten our marriage certificate yet."

Guan Luoyang remained calm and composed: "Oh, then it'll be your girlfriend, since she's the most important part anyway."

"The true form of the Galaxy Eye's mastermind is a giant black hole. Inside that black hole, there is a hidden hand that I left behind, but this hidden hand is not powerful enough, so I need a greater causal force."

"The growth of the Galaxy Eye's main brain is inseparable from the Golden Civilization. It was extracted from its true form by the Golden Civilization, but it also gained more knowledge through the Golden Civilization. Furthermore, it was hindered by the encryption methods left by the Golden Civilization for countless years, preventing it from returning to its true form."

"And Cynthia is the last member of the Golden Civilization in this universe. The cause and effect of the entire Golden Civilization have converged into a hub in her."

"As long as you find her and restore her true memories, I can use my supernatural powers to leverage her karma and deliver a devastating blow to the Galaxy Eye's mainframe, creating a decisive opportunity."

Merlin quickly asked, "Where is Cynthia now?"

"When the Book of Time came crashing down before, I intervened, and I arranged for many people to be sent to Earth. Your karma with her is also tied to mine."

Guan Luoyang said, "So although I don't have time to probe right now, I can be sure that the straight-line distance between you and her is no more than fifty kilometers."

"Only fifty kilometers?"

Merlin opened her mouth, "But as far as I can remember, I haven't seen her since history was rewritten."

"Fifty kilometers, that was quite a distance for you before."

Guan Luoyang explained, "However, now that you have regained your true memories, even if you cannot recover your full strength, you have at least recovered some of your abilities. Finding her should not be difficult."

Merlin replied, "Okay, how should I contact you afterwards?"

"Just call out to me in your heart, and my voice will appear. If necessary, even if you don't look for me, I will contact you on my own initiative."

Guan Luoyang's figure gradually faded away.

"Keep it up, young man!"

Merlin suddenly opened his eyes and woke up from his dream.
