Ethan didn't expect Tanisel to appear. Did he find himself early in the morning
He was suddenly uncertain whether the man whose face he could not see in front of him was still the Tanisel he knew, so he took a step back nervously and slammed his body against the tombstone.
Tanissell took a few steps forward slowly, candlelight illuminating his face shrouded in a touch of sadness. He walked slowly around the huge tombstone, his white fingers brushing the rough stone surface.
"He was very frightened in his last moments and said he didn't want to be locked in an unfamiliar tomb by himself and be swallowed by maggots. So I assured him that I would not throw him in the royal tombs in Senlen..."
It was hard for Ethan to imagine that Tanisel, who was only seventeen at the time, had to comfort his dying father like this. When I was seventeen, it seemed that I was still in high school, worried about my math grades, and occasionally sad about my crush on the Alpha class. But the priest is already facing the life and death of his close relatives.
He turned to look at the priest across from the tombstone, just in time to meet the priest's gaze.
"My Beta mother passed away after giving birth to me without even seeing each other. The royal family is indifferent, and for me, my father is all my relatives. He used to be a very handsome and noble nobleman. Eve people say he is more king than King Eve. You should have seen his portrait, right?"
Ethan nodded.
"But at the last moment, he was too skinny and inhuman, and humble enough to make people feel fearful. Can you imagine? The person you love most stares at you with the most frightening eyes before dying, and holds him tightly. Your hand, like grabbing a life-saving straw, told me that he was scared, and begged my son, who was only seventeen at the time, to save him." Tanisel paused and sighed, "Looking at me as God, like an omnipotent father, turned into that kind of scary appearance little by little. Even the egg of the god of the gods, which contained endless polar energy, could not save him. At that time, I knew that the most terrifying thing in the world There is no power greater than death."
Ethan looked at the sadness condensed in the depths of Tanisel's eyes, and suddenly understood a little, "So you gave up your belief in the God of Preface and worshipped the God of Entropy instead?"
"Yes, order is short-lived, chaos is eternal." Tanisel slowly came around from the other side of the tombstone, "In the ultimate chaos, people are no longer separate from each other, and everything in the world will be Turned into a mass of surging molecules, time and space no longer exist. You and the dead you have lost forever will be reunited at that moment, no longer feel incomplete and lonely, all things are unified, gain Immortality. Isn't this the heaven that your human religion promised you?"
Ethan smiled wryly, "So in your paradise, will people come together and become a monster like Shab Nicholas? Or will they all become monsters like me?"
"You're not monster Ethan, quite the contrary, you're just an over-form in the middle of an entropy-dominated and order-dominated organism, and a very successful one. It's probably because you're of celestial ancestry , itself determines that you have more entropy than the average person. Because although the celestial people look like the descendants of the order gods like the earth people or our Eve people, in fact, they are the same as the ones we have seen in Mujin. Like the giant worm, it is the descendant of the God of Entropy left in the universe of the God of Entropy."
"... What? The Aegis and the Giant Worm... How is this possible?" Ethan recalled his mother, and recalled the pictures he had seen of his grandmother, a purebred Australian, except for the pair that he had inherited from his own. The green eyes are almost indistinguishable from ordinary people on earth. How could they possibly be the same type as giant worms and those disgusting tentacled monsters
"If you think about it carefully, the transformation cycle brought about by the bloodline of Tianqi star is so long that it seems to last half a lifetime's 'infancy' period and the short and terrible "adult period", isn't it very similar to a worm? And after entering adulthood , in just three days, your appearance and physical condition will reach the peak, just like breaking out of a cocoon. But after three days, you will rapidly age and die, isn't this the same as many butterfly moths?"
"So what? Does that mean I'm a bug?" Ethan almost laughed. Everything Tanissell said to him was absurd.
"No, you're not a bug, you're just a human with the blood of the God of Entropy. If you want, I can bring you all the research reports that my mentor and I have done in recent years on the celestial star and the descendants of the God of Entropy. But there's one thing you might be interested in knowing, and that's why the Asteroids age quickly once they reach adulthood." Tanithel stood in front of him, staring at him with burning eyes.
He was right, this was indeed Ethan's biggest heart ailment.
He always wanted to know why, because he was so scared that he would become like his mother one day...
Seeing that Ethan didn't speak, but the eyes with a bit of anxiety and uncertainty were obviously moved by him. Taniser reached out to another huge manuscript on the stone platform, which seemed to be an Arabic language that had been lost on the earth. Tanissell carefully flipped the fragile paper to a page with drawings.
It was a naked human figure, but the man was covered with black threads, his feet looked like goat hooves, and behind him, four tentacles dragged on the ground like a cloak...
"This is..." Ethan stretched out his trembling hand to touch the paper, as if he couldn't quite believe what his eyes were seeing.
"This is most likely the original appearance of the Celestials. Later, in order to better survive in the universe of the Sequence God, they began to mate and intermarry with the Earthlings in a planned way, and gradually became known as the Celestials." Taniser pointed to the name written in Arabic on the page, "Here it is said that this kind of person lives in the Centaur galaxy. According to his description, it happens to be the location of the star of the sky."
So... is this what he was supposed to be
However, if the bloodline of the Celestials has been impure since the beginning, isn't the real bloodline of the Celestials in his body now less than a quarter? Could this little bit of genes really allow him to produce this ferocious mutation
"It's just that intermarriage also has drawbacks, such as rapid aging and death after entering adulthood, which did not exist in the period of purebred celestials. After our verification and research, we found that this is likely to be the case. After intermarriage, the sequence force Temporarily suppresses the entropy force in the body of the Tianzhen people, but when the adulthood comes, there will be an explosion of entropy force. At that time, the sequence force can no longer be suppressed, and the body that has been completely transformed by the sequence force is no longer there. The method adapts to the completely opposite entropy force, so it rapidly ages and collapses. Therefore, the Tianyi people have an ancient custom that other planets do not understand at all, that is to go to a certain sacred mountain on the planet within three days after entering adulthood. When I went to live for a period of time, there was a holy lake in that mountain. It is said that if you take a bath there, you can avoid entering a state of aging, and you can survive for a long time. According to our research, the holy lake is likely to contain some entropy gods, For example, the body fluids of the goddess. Because several manuscripts mentioned that they had traveled to distant planets to get the 'God's blood' and sprinkled it into the lake. If a foreigner accidentally entered the holy lake, They usually disappear mysteriously. If there are bodily fluids of the God of Entropy there, as we guessed, then they may have undergone a strange mutation and have been eliminated."
"So... After their own planet was destroyed in a supernova explosion, the Tianxing people lost the holy lake, and their lifespans were drastically shortened to the point of almost extinction."
"good."
Ethan lowered his head and looked at his hands, "Then... Since I've already been infected... Does that mean I don't have to worry about getting old and dying when I enter adulthood?"
"Yes..." Tanithel slowly closed the manuscript.
"In other words... I can't be cured?" Ethan laughed suddenly, "I should have been that disgusting look? Or do I have to die?"
No wonder the priest changed the subject when he asked Tanisel if he would cure him.
Although Ethan's tone was calm and even smiling, Tanisel could hear the unease and despair in that tone. Thinking about it, I should be very scared. I suddenly became not like myself, and disgusting organs grew on my body, and there was a bloodthirsty urge.
In fact, Tanisel had always wanted to find an opportunity to tell him about the ancestral bloodline, and today when he felt that Ethan was quietly following him, he suddenly decided that it was today.
"I can't cure you, I can only find a way to suppress it. And the medicine I gave you is also to slow down your metabolism and delay your 'adulthood'."
Ethan's mind was in a mess, always feeling like he was missing some information.
There are so few celestial bloodlines in his body, why are there so many tentacles on his back after the mutation? Even a pure-blooded Tianqi star only has four tentacles. And what about the strong thirst for killing and blood after the mutation
Does this mean he can never go back to Earth and see his family again...
By the way... If his mother has really passed away, he can't be considered a family anymore... Regardless of whether his father is his real father or not, if he is, he has already cut off relations with him...
Ethan leaned on the stone platform without saying a word, his head was slightly lowered, and his loneliness reflected the dim yellow on the ground. Tanisel stretched out his hand and pressed Ethan's shoulder and neck to comfort him, "Don't give up, I will continue to think of a way. Tomorrow, I will take you into the temple."
The author has something to say:
Near the end of the term, all kinds of final projects and exams have to be handed in. I stay up late until three o’clock every day. It’s really hard to keep updated recently. I’m sorry for the slow speed…
