The only remaining humans in the world, a man and a woman, began their journey to explore the destruction of mankind and the future of Earth. Under the guidance of the mysterious voice, Lelouch and CC's footprints went to every corner of the destroyed world, finding all the ruins that Charululu had not found before.
Three in Asia, three in Europe, three in America, one in Africa, and one in Australia!
There were a total of eleven ruins and temples, and eleven gates leading to C World.
However, by the time Lelouch and CC found it, the doors were already locked. Even with the combination of their CODE imprints and their ability to move mountains and seas, they were unable to move the door at all. However, Lelouch and CC did not come up empty-handed. Combined with the information they obtained from the 12 ruins, Lelouch speculated that there was a 12th temple, which was also the center of all the ruins.
It was located at the center of the world, at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean where the legendary ancient civilization, Atlantis, had drowned.
With inhuman bodies, the two of them achieved a miracle. They spent a hundred years in the world and used the power that they gradually became familiar with to separate the entire trench in the center of the Pacific Ocean. Finally, they found the twelve temples.
The Atlantis civilization, the former capital, and also the last ruin!
Stepping into the imperial city that had been submerged under the sea for tens of thousands of years, Lelouch and CC finally arrived at the main temple at the center of the ancient city. Here, Lelouch and CC finally deduced the mystery of the disappearance of the Atlantean civilization from tens of thousands of years ago from the murals engraved on the walls of the temple. There was also Lelouch and CC's CODE imprint, as well as GASS and C world. Everything was revealed at this moment.
That's right. Be it C World, Code, or these ruins, they were all relics left behind by the Atlantis civilization tens of thousands of years ago. It was only then that Lelouch and CC finally learned the truth about the war and destruction of mankind.
The one who destroyed humanity was not humanity itself, but…Earth, the mother of all living things, the origin of life!
Her name was Gaia!
Millions of young people had destroyed the dinosaur race that had dominated Earth for 200 million years, and then buried the extremely advanced human civilization Atlantis in the Pacific Ocean. It was the symbol of Earth's suppression, Gaia!
Gaia wasn't just a suppressive force. That's right, because Gaia existed before life appeared. At that time, it had no object to suppress. Its existence was after life, to ensure the survival of a certain type of life. The reason for its existence was to suppress all people, things, and things that could threaten the existence of all primates. Therefore, it was nothing but suppression.
Millions of years ago, the dinosaur race had expanded to its limit and threatened all life on Earth. Therefore, Gaia summoned a meteorite and wiped out all the dinosaurs.
For the first time, Gaia slowly gained her own consciousness and understood her mission.
Tens of thousands of years ago, a group of primates, the Three-Eyed Race, gradually had their own civilization. They called themselves Atlanteans, and their civilization was called the Atlantean civilization. Atlanteans were born with great power and could use their spiritual power to do all kinds of unimaginable things. With the development of technology, they gradually changed their research targets to their own bodies.
The evolution of the body, the power of the mind, and the most mysterious soul.
This kind of behavior violated the taboos of life and attracted the attention of Gaia's consciousness. However, because the Atlanteans 'research did not threaten the existence of other lives and did not cause too much damage, Gaia's consciousness only secretly monitored the Atlanteans' every move and did not interfere with their actions.
However, as the Atlanteans studied the soul and mental power more and more deeply, their own power also became stronger and stronger. Finally, one day, under the conscious faith of the Atlanteans, the souls of the twelve elders were further sublimated. They sensed the omnipresent great consciousness between heaven and earth.
Gaia!
Following the river of time, they discovered the truth of the previous mass extinction in the long river of history, and thus deduced the nature of Gaia's consciousness.
The heavens and earth were merciless and treated all living things as straw dogs. Gaia's consciousness would destroy all creatures that harmed other lives and destroyed the balance between life. From then on, the Atlanteans had a strong sense of crisis. They devoted themselves to the study of soul power.
The taboos of life were truly opened at this moment. All Atlanteans were engrossed in the study of soul and spiritual power. Other than the twelve pioneer elders, the other Atlanteans were also gradually elevating their souls. At the same time, the twelve leaders they worshipped, which was also the twelve elders who had completed their sublimation, were also rapidly increasing their strength.
This period was the most prosperous era of the Atlantean civilization.
As time passed, the Atlanteans discovered that the death of their bodies was not the end of their lives. Their consciousness could be retained not only when they were alive but also after death. From the moment everyone was born, their brains were unconsciously sending out a strange electric wave. Although the electric waves of every human were different, the essence was still the same.
The Atlanteans used their advanced technology and understanding of the soul to build twelve temples around the world, collecting this wave of consciousness. As time passed, the consciousness and spirit of the dead and those still alive were slowly gathered in these twelve temples.
The huge spiritual energy, in the process of growing, finally affected the inner world of Earth, breaking the passage from the material world to the space where Gaia was. The mental energy collected by the twelve temples was gathered and fused together along this passage, turning into a body of consciousness.
The Atlanteans named this world C World, which meant the world that led to the gods, the origin and destination of all life. And this great consciousness was named Aliya.
Each of the twelve temples had an elder overseeing them. They were responsible for protecting the souls and consciousness of their clansmen, as well as guarding the door to C World. Therefore, the twelve elders were also known as the twelve guardians. As the gatekeepers of the final destination, the third eye between their eyebrows was surrounded by a mysterious brand.
The red V-shaped mark that spread its wings and was about to fly surrounded the third eye. It was the only mark that could open the door to C World. That was the gathering of human consciousness. Aliya's blessing to the gatekeepers not only allowed them to possess incredible power, but also granted them eternal life.
The Atlanteans called this brand Code, which meant law. It symbolized that life would follow the laws of life in the end. Through this door, they would reach their final destination and integrate into Aliya.
Unfortunately, when the Atlanteans had just completed the construction of Aliya's consciousness and were about to let him evolve into an individual with independent consciousness, Gaia discovered the secret of the Atlanteans.
It was not as lenient as it was to humans today. Just like how Gaia had treated the dinosaur race, Gaia summoned Earth's second satellite, a moon, and smashed it down on Atlantis 'imperial city. The Atlanteans, who had only been born for millions of years, along with their civilization, were buried tens of thousands of meters deep at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean!
As for Aliya, which was the common consciousness of mankind, it was also sealed in C World forever with the extinction of the Atlanteans. The 12 Gatekeepers who had obtained eternal life left their respective codes in the temple when they were about to be destroyed. As long as a human entered the temple and obtained CODE's recognition, they would be able to inherit the Gatekeeper's brand and obtain CODE's power. They would become the new Gatekeeper and open the door to C World.
History had changed, and tens of thousands of years had passed. Another branch of primates, primitive humans, appeared on this planet again. They slowly developed and had their own civilization.
In the 5th century, after the Roman Empire collapsed in ancient Britain, a young man named Arthur pulled out the legendary Sword in the Stone and became the new king of Britain. He and his 12 powerful knights led the British people to rise up and resist. Through 12 battles, they finally successfully repelled the invasion from the north. In the end, they defeated the enemy in the Battle of Barton Hill and drove all foreign invaders out of Britain, unifying the British Isles for the first time.
In the early days of Arthur's reign, the young king showed a strong dependence on Merlin. Britain welcomed an unprecedented unification and strength. He helped the poor and established a prosperous kingdom. The spirit of chivalry and the code of conduct of the earliest knights were formed at this time.
The Sword in the Stone that Arthur drew when he was young was broken in a duel against King Pellinore due to a battle that violated the spirit of chivalry. King Arthur was very regretful after losing the Holy Sword. Thus, Great Mage Merlin guided him to the side of the holy lake.
Arthur received the holy sword Excalibur from the Fairy of the Lake. It was called the " Sword of the King." This sword was forged by the elves in Avalon. The blade was made of gold and the hilt was inlaid with gems. Because its blade could cut iron like mud, the Lady of the Lake named it Excalibur.
After that, King Arthur married Guinevere of Scots as his queen. As a dowry, the queen's father gave King Arthur the famous round table. Because Arthur discussed state affairs with the twelve knights who followed him at the round table, the twelve knights were also called the Knights of the Round Table.
This period was the most glorious period of the Arthur Dynasty. Then, just like his father, King Yuse, King Arthur also had an illegitimate child. What was even more daring than his father was that his affair partner was actually his half-sister Morgan. King Arthur and this child were both uncle and nephew, but also father and son. This illegitimate child was Mordred, who later rebelled and eventually led the kingdom to destruction.
As time passed, King Arthur's territory continued to expand. Legend had it that he ruled France and eventually defeated the declining Roman Empire. He accepted the coronation of the bishop in the Great Cathedral of Rome. This was the most glorious period of King Arthur's legendary career. After that, King Arthur's interest shifted to finding the legendary treasure. His knights, either on orders or of their own volition, left the capital, Camelot, in search of the legendary Holy Grail. Most of them never returned. Just like that, the knights on the round table became fewer and fewer, and the powerful empire began to decline.
At this time, the Knight of the Round Table, and also King Arthur's first knight, Sir Lancelot, and Queen Guinevere's affair was exposed. Legend has it that Lancelot was abandoned by the lake when his father passed away when he was still a baby. He was raised by the fairies in the lake, so he was also known as the " Knight of the Lake." He was chivalrous, gentle and considerate, and good at getting along with women. Not only was he very popular at King Arthur's Round Table, but he also had a good reputation throughout the kingdom. Therefore, he was also known as King Arthur's First Knight. King Arthur trusted Lancelot and appointed him as Queen Guinevere's Guardian Knight.
Therefore, King Arthur was furious when he learned that Lancelot and Guinevere had an affair. However, Lancelot and Guinevere were having an affair, not adultery. It was a platonic relationship where the two of them were attracted to each other and admired each other. It did not involve physical desire. According to the Christian moral standards of the time, men were not allowed to be jealous of their lover's "spiritual affair." Therefore, King Arthur could not publicly kill Lancelot, or he would be condemned by the fishing boat.
When the two of them met in the forest, King Arthur sent twelve knights to assassinate them, but they were all killed by Lancelot. Lancelot escaped, and Guinevere was burned at the stake by King Arthur. However, Lancelot, who was deeply in love with the queen, and his comrades attacked the execution ground and kidnapped Guinevere. The two fled across the sea to France.
Although Lancelot returned Guinevere to him due to the Pope's mediation and the honor of the knight, the story did not end there. Another famous Knight of the Round Table, King Arthur's nephew Gawain, had his brother killed by Lancelot when he was trying to stop Lancelot from kidnapping Guinevere. King Arthur was already brooding over the shame of the queen being abducted. Coupled with Gawain's instigation, he finally decided to personally conquer France.
It was this crusade against Lancelot that gave Mordred the opportunity to usurp the throne. King Arthur, who had personally conquered France, left Gawain and his nephew Mordred to manage the kingdom. Mordred realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He stole the famous sword Clarento from the armory of Wallingford and launched a rebellion. He spread rumors throughout the city that the king had died in battle and wanted to marry Guinevere. After King Arthur heard the news, he hurried back to Britain. While the two sides were discussing countermeasures, a snake quietly climbed onto a knight's body. The knight drew his sword and tried to cut the snake, thus confirming the outbreak of a bloody war.
In the Battle of Kamran, both armies suffered heavy losses.
In the end, King Arthur used Excalibur to kill Mordred, and he himself was also killed by Mordred, leaving only one knight by his side, Bedivere.
Arthur asked Bedivere to throw Excalibur into the lake. Bedivere knew that abandoning Excalibur meant that the king would die. He went to the lake twice but could not make up his mind. He went back and lied to King Arthur that the sword had been thrown into the lake. However, they were all seen through by Arthur because they did not correctly describe the scene of the sword being taken back by the Witch of the Lake. On the third try, Bedivere finally made up his mind and threw the King's Sword into the lake. At this moment, a woman's hand reached out from the lake and caught the sword hilt before sinking into the lake. After listening to Betty Will's report, Arthur passed away. His epitaph read,"Hicjace Arthur Rexquondam Rexquefuturus."
According to legend, the dying King Arthur was carried by three mysterious fairies to Avalon. Legend had it that he was finally buried there, and the people believed that King Arthur was not dead and would return to save the world.
Guinevere's appearance had never changed since she married King Arthur. Furthermore, it was because of Guinevere and Lancelot that King Arthur was angered and eventually destroyed the Arthur Dynasty. Therefore, the people who looked forward to King Arthur crowned Guinevere with the title of Witch.
The witch Guinevere, who was cursed by all the citizens, built a monastery by the holy lake alone and became a nun.
In the long river of history, Lelouch and CC saw the origin of the CODE through the memories of Alaya. Guinevere was the nun who had adopted an orphan during the war, CC, and had given her the Symbol.
The Goddess of the Lake was Guinevere herself. What she gave King Arthur was not the legendary sword Excalibur, but the power of the King of Humans, Geass, bestowed by Code.
As for the so-called Avalon, the resting place of the king, the eternal utopia, it was the final destination of mankind, C World.
Lelouch and CC guessed that Guinevere must have discovered an Atlantean temple and accidentally obtained the inheritance of the gatekeeper, obtaining the power of the CODE imprint.
The history of Britain was inextricably linked to Code for thousands of years. VV must have learned of the existence of the temple through some ancient means. Then, just like Guinevere a thousand years ago, he received the inheritance of the gatekeeper and obtained the CODE mark.
The twelve temples had a total of twelve CODE marks. However, Lelouch was the thirteenth. In C World, Lelouch used the power of the Human King to free the human consciousness community that was sealed in C World. From there, he obtained the recognition of the Alaya consciousness and obtained the CODE imprint.
At this point, with Lelouch and CC's intelligence, they could already guess what happened next.
Alaya's consciousness dissipated in C World. Gaia returned once again and launched a destructive operation against humanity. This was because Lelouch, the demon king who once bore the curse of the entire world, but was actually the savior who secretly saved the world, had already obtained the mark of Code and became the king of the humans. Therefore, after the extinction of mankind, the consciousness of those who knew the truth gathered in the twelve temples again. Combining the consciousness and soul power of the Atlanteans and modern humans, Aliya was reborn again.
It also guided Lelouch to find the truth of the extinction of mankind and the history buried in the river of time.
They were unwilling to die, unwilling to disappear from this world. They wanted to be saved by Lelouch again. Because he was their king, the common king of all humans.
Lelouch and CC were the kings and queens who had the CODE mark and were recognized by Aliya. Unless Aliya completely disappeared, the king and queen of humans would never die. Moreover, the king and queen that all humans believed in were even more powerful than the twelve gatekeepers of Atlantis.
This was because, ever since the birth of mankind, the consciousness of all life had been gathered here. They were the king's subjects. Their spirits and souls belonged to the king. Under the expectations of countless consciousnesses, the king was omnipotent. The power of Lelouch and CC was actually the materialization of countless consciousnesses and beliefs.
And those cries were actually the last unyielding faith of countless lives, begging the king to save them again and change the history of mankind's extinction.
This was once the last temple of the Atlantean civilization. They had yet to complete it, and it was the only " weapon " that could change their fate. At this moment, it became Lelouch's only hope to save mankind and change history.
Gathering all the beliefs and souls of the Atlanteans and modern people, even without consciousness, Aliya was enough to fight against Gaia. Unfortunately, it was too late. Lelouch and CC were infertile. Therefore, there was only one thing he needed to do now.
That was to use Aliya, who had gathered the power of all humans, to break through time and space and return to the time before the extinction of mankind. He would change history and prevent the outbreak of the apocalyptic war.
From the moment they stepped into the temple, Lelouch and CC knew.
This was because it was the only way to save mankind that was thought of by the collective consciousness of all humans. It was also the unfinished business of the Atlanteans.
With Aliya's power that could resist Gaia's consciousness, coupled with the codes of Lelouch and CC, as well as the last thoughts of the humans scattered around the world that had yet to gather, it was not impossible to break the laws of space and time and transmit a memory or consciousness to the past.
Perhaps it was just a soul, a consciousness, or even a paragraph or a word. However, it was enough to change the history of the past. Under the effect of the butterfly effect, it changed the ending of human extinction.
Just like back then, if Lelouch had known that he would let mankind perish if he gave up on ruling the world, he would never have self-directed the farce of the fall of the demon king.
A self-deprecating Lelouch stood in front of the temple's door, on the altar that had been abandoned for tens of thousands of years. The place that had been silent for tens of thousands of years finally had a change today.
"Lelouch, have you decided? Even if you go back to the past, you will lose your memories and only retain your most primitive consciousness! Even if history changes, it might not change in the direction we want it to! But you and I will disappear from this world forever!”
"Of course, CC. The reason why we're standing here is to change history! If he did it, it might not change, but if he did not do it, it would definitely not change!”
Lelouch lifted a strand of hair and gently rubbed his face as he replied firmly.
"Disappearance and death are not the end of everything. They are just a form of change! And now, I need this change. CC, let us meet in the past!”
"I know!"
CC could see determination in Lelouch's eyes. At this moment, she already knew Lelouch's determination. Since the king wanted to do it, the queen would support him without hesitation.
However, before that, CC would give King one last piece of advice. At the same time, it was also the last chance for the situation to change in their favor.
"Go, Lelouch, redeem the tragedy of the past and become the true ruler of the world, the king of mankind! Get everything you want, all your desires, all your desires, all your expectations. Don't care about the secular world. Don't give up on any hope. Pursue, possess, violate, and plunder!”
CC cupped Lelouch's face with both hands and kissed him.
"Everything in this world is yours! My king!"
If Lelouch had the ambition to possess and plunder everything, then the tragedy of the past would not have happened. Because, as the King of the Humans, Lelouch would never allow his servant to be destroyed by Gaia.
Becoming the Demon King and bearing Gaia's curse on humanity was the only way he could save humanity.
Dazzling light radiated from the core of the temple. Countless souls and consciousnesses flew out from all directions and corners of the dead planet. They gathered in the same place and gathered right above Lelouch.
A deep hole was forming.
"Lelouch, you must succeed!”
CC said. After all the light disappeared, it turned into a shadow and slowly merged with Lelouch.
"I will definitely succeed, CC!”
Lelouch felt the warmth on his lips that had yet to disappear. He looked at his empty hands and his eyes were filled with determination.
CC! Na Nali! Kallen! Yuffie! Xia Li…
I'm back!
Lelouch raised his head and looked up at the space-time tunnel that had been opened by the consciousness of all the humans on Earth. His body gradually turned into a light spot and was sucked into the vortex at the center of the tunnel.
On December 5th, 2000, with the cry of a baby from the Palace of Aries of the Holy Bunitania Empire, Queen Mariana VI Britania gave birth to the 13th son of the emperor.
He was named Lelouch VI Britania!
