Simultaneously, they travel through time, starting from the God Ranking.

Chapter 22 The Land of Sand

The Devimon that once occupied Mount Infinity is dead, and Devimon's temple has also disappeared. Only a strange device remains where the temple once stood.

The device was shaped like a large Ultraman timer placed on the ground.

As Devimon disappeared, the strange device began to emit a dazzling array of seven colors into the sky, like an artificial rainbow.

Within that rainbow light, a phantom image of an old man, about one meter tall, slowly emerged. He wore a red and black overcoat and looked incredibly old, with only a tuft of white hair tied up on his head; the rest of his hair was completely bald.

Gennai, an old man who looks like an ordinary human, is a mysterious figure whose true identity is suspected to be a constant agent of the digital world.

"Hey, hello there, chosen children...wait, who are you?"

When the phantom of the old man appeared, he thought he would see the chosen children, but he didn't see the children. Instead, he saw a Tyrannomon that was overgrown.

No? What about the chosen children? Where did those eight children go?

Although the children's partners do include Koromon, which, according to the evolutionary path, has the potential to evolve into Greymon, Gennai is certain that the Greymon in front of him is definitely not one of the chosen children's partners.

The development that deviated completely from the expected trajectory left the old man, Xuan Nei, speechless. He couldn't understand what was going on, why things hadn't gone according to plan, and why everything had ended prematurely at the very first step.

How will the children who were not chosen face Myotismon and the Dark Lords who come after them?

Relying on the MorphGreymon right in front of us?

Doesn't this just crash completely?

The old man who calls himself Gennai obeys an entity called Constantity.

A complete digital world typically consists of three main units.

Born from the beginning, symbolizing order, the World Tree host builds the digital world from scratch.

Born from darkness, symbolizing destruction, Apocalymon is a product of the negative emotions such as resentment and anger felt when Digimon were destroyed.

Born between light and darkness, it symbolizes the constancy of balance.

Each of the three has its own strengths and weaknesses, and it's hard to say which is stronger, but generally speaking, the Apocalypse Beast is the weakest.

Unlike the other two, Apocalymon can be said to be a sentient being from the garbage dump of the Digital World. The more negative destruction data Apocalymon has, the stronger it becomes. Therefore, Apocalymon is actually the weakest in the early stages, but this situation will be reversed in the later stages.

As time goes by, the more negative remnants accumulate on the dark side of the Digital World, the stronger Apocalymon will become. However, most of the time, Apocalymon will be destroyed before that time is up. But Apocalymon is immortal. As long as the Digital World exists, Apocalymon will also exist forever.

The Elder Xuannei came under the command of the three main engines, which symbolize the constant balance.

The original purpose was to see how good the chosen children were, but in the end, we didn't see any children, only a Greymon.

The old man, Gennai, seemed to be deep in thought for a moment, but in reality, he was struggling to find the right words to ask, "Since I can establish communication with this side, it means that the Devimon is dead, right?"

The old man asked a question about the human-computer interface, since his communication device had been buried under the temple, and the fact that he could see the light of day again was enough to prove that the demon beast was dead.

"Yes, just died."

"How did he die?" The old man Xuan Nei felt a little confused. Since the chosen children did not appear, who could have killed this demon beast on Farui Island with its strength?

"I killed him."

"...Just you alone?" After a brief silence, the old man Xuan asked.

"What else?"

"........." Gennai fell into deep thought again.

Champion-level Greymon single-handedly annihilated Devimon, who had fused with the Dark Gear and possessed Ultimate-level power. Where did this god of war come from?

The old man Xuannei wanted to say something, but hesitated, then stopped, then hesitated again, and finally decided to remain silent.

According to the plan, Fang Xiu definitely doesn't fit the plan. Fang Xiu is a pure Digimon, without a human partner, and without the Digimon Project...

It doesn't seem like it's impossible?

After a brief silence, many thoughts flashed through the mind of the old man Xuan Nei. In the end, he decided to go with the flow and let Fang Xiu give it a try.

As for the consequences of failure, the tall ones will hold up the sky if it falls. As long as the World Tree and constancy remain, the Digital World will not be in chaos.

If things truly reach a point of no return, that's when deus ex machina will come into play, and everything will be restarted.

Having thought things through, the old man Xuannei narrowed his eyes and began to paint a rosy picture for Fang Xiu, leaving Fang Xiu stunned.

Well, Gennai wasn't lying. The core idea is that there's a continent across the sea, and that the continent possesses the power to allow Digimon to Mega Evolve into their Ultimate form. He utilizes the Digimon's innate desire for evolution as the driving force.

Fang Xiu certainly knew what Xuan Nei was referring to: the eight sacred badges, with courage at the forefront.

But is Gennai serious about asking a Digimon to find the crest? He doesn't have the Digimon Project.

But since Xuan Nei had already said so, Fang Xiu certainly wouldn't refuse. The eight badges contained data, which Fang Xiu coveted. As for the consequences of doing so that he might be targeted by the dark forces?

If you want to gain benefits, isn't it common sense to take on some risks?

The conversation between the Elder Xuannei and Fang Xiu did not last long. The Elder Xuannei's illusory figure began to distort, clearly indicating that an unknown event had occurred.

But Fang Xiu had already learned almost everything he needed to know, such as the map of the Shaba Continent and which direction to go.

Once the image of Elder Gennei disappeared, Fang Xiu lay down on the spot and immediately exited his Greymon form. When not in battle, he was more comfortable in his Agumon form; Greymon was too tall.

To travel from Falui Island to the continent of Shaba, one needs to cross a sea. Although Fang Xiu can evolve into Devimon, it is still too difficult to cross the sea by flying using Devimon's wings alone.

Perhaps I could first transform into a Devimon and fly, and then use my freezing power to create an ice platform on the sea.

Or perhaps we should build a ship?

otherwise……

Fang Xiu glanced at his arm, where a mark was shining brightly.

After successfully defeating the giant demon beast, Fang Xiu gained a great deal. In addition to greatly satisfying his desire for battle, he also significantly increased the amount of data within his body.

After the battle, Greymon's data volume increased significantly. Although Devimon died, the data within him was not wasted. Fang Xiu also had a Devimon form and absorbed the opponent's data.

The mark on Fang Xiu's hand was the result of absorbing the power of those dark gears. After the battle, it was a win-win-win situation, meaning that Fang Xiu won three times by himself.

The time-space imprint lit up, indicating that Fang Xiu had already secured a way out. Since that was the case, what was there to fear?

Just as Fang Xiu was carefully examining the mark on his arm, he suddenly stopped, looked up and glanced around to make sure no one was there. Then he looked at his arm, where a familiar gear slowly appeared at the mark.
