Ye Qingxuan only felt that he was dreaming.
First, Ludovic, who will succeed the Pope tomorrow, came to have lunch with him and took good care of him like a biological father. Then he made a wish for him, saying that he would build a great country and future for him, and that he would be promoted and make a fortune and reach the pinnacle of life.
Immediately afterwards, the future Pope actually admitted in front of him that he was the incarnation of the Hundred-Eyed One...
Are you kidding me
"Ahaha, that's so funny."
Ye Qingxuan squeezed out a twitching smile: "This passage is good, I give it ten points."
I won’t give you the remaining ninety points because I’m afraid you’ll be proud.
"When you say you don't believe it, don't tremble in your calves, Ye Qingxuan."
Ludovic shook his head with pity in his eyes: "Or will you believe me only if I ask you to swim into the abyss?"
The scene outside the window duly changed into the endless darkness of the gloomy abyss.
“…”
Ye Qingxuan was silent.
One with hundreds of eyes.
The source of all evil, one of the top three pillar gods among natural disasters, different from the Sacred Cauldron and the Silent Moon, it is also the only existence with will and entity.
Countless natural disasters under his command surrendered and were called the Lords of Darkness. They occupied the uppermost core of the etheric world and controlled the entire dark world with the abyss.
If it weren't for the fact that his body was too huge to cross the sea of ether and descend into the material world, I'm afraid there would be no human drama left in this world.
And now, one of his nine incarnations has appeared in front of him
And still in the appearance of Ludovic.
Ye Qingxuan only felt that his head was a bit big.
Something seems wrong, but among the thousands of clues, there is a faint clue that finally connects, pointing to the final truth.
But he still couldn't believe it.
He once watched from afar the sight of the "Lord of Darkness", one of the incarnations of the Hundred-Eyed One, coming to Avalon. It was earth-shattering. Even with the huge barrier of Avalon's Shadow, Ye Qingxuan could not resist the terrifying aura.
Ye Lanzhou can be said to be the most knowledgeable person in the world about demons and natural disasters.
The blood of gods transformed by moonlight is extremely sensitive to all the breaths coming from the abyss. If the incarnation of the Hundred-Eyed One comes, it will be unable to hide its own existence. Even if it is thousands of miles away, the moonlight in his body can be felt. A terrifying aura that seems to have real substance.
But now, Ludovic stood in front of him, and he didn't notice anything.
This is the scariest place.
You must know that for those with hundreds of eyes, the incarnation is a part of their existence, even more important than the so-called body, it is the projection of the original source.
Just like different images observed from various angles.
Some are huge, some are weird, some are dark, some are terrifying, some are crazy... They all inherit part of the characteristics of the Hundred-Eyed One.
Therefore, he is called the Lord of Darkness, the Source of All Evil, and the Cunning Spider. They are all part of the Hundred-Eyed One, but they can act independently of the main body.
For those with hundreds of eyes, these nine incarnations are vital limbs.
Losing even one of them will affect the whole body.
Wasn't it that He had arranged for Angelo for so many years just to calmly bring down the incarnation of the Dark Lord, and then completely take Angelo into his hands
For this reason, He did not hesitate to formulate such a thorough and huge plan, and spent hundreds of years of effort, but still fell short at the last moment.
Therefore, it suffered heavy losses.
According to estimates, He will no longer be able to influence the material world for at least seventy years.
But now, Ludovic appeared in front of him so grandly.
The meaning represented is self-evident!
In this case, wouldn't the Hundred-Eyed One be able to bring his power to the material world at any time, and even personally cross the sea of ether, and bring his own abyss to completely enter the material world
In the past, the abyss was just a legend to humans.
However, this terrifying legend is about to become a reality...
The whole world will be turned upside down.
"Don't be afraid, Ye Qingxuan."
Ludovic smiled mockingly: "My own incarnation is just a mortal. As you can see, aren't you still fine?"
What the incarnation of the Hundred-Eyed One reveals is the essence from the abyss, the terrifying truth that humans cannot understand. Even if a mortal just witnesses it, he will go crazy and die.
But now, Ye Qingxuan is still fine.
He neither felt any discomfort nor pain, nor did he discover the true essence from the abyss in Ludovic.
"Look, I'm just a normal person."
Ludovic spread his hands and smiled happily: "Are you surprised? The Hundred-Eyed One can actually transform into a human being."
"Humanity?"
Ye Qingxuan sneered, "You are just a demon in human skin."
"oh?"
Ludovic's smile turned mocking: "Then, I would like to ask you, what is the standard for measuring human beings? How do you think we can be called human?"
"Let's talk, Ye Qingxuan, come and talk to me, this natural disaster and this evil god, about what it means to be a human being."
His eyes became curious.
"According to the classification of biologists, human beings are just creatures similar to apes. Yes, you do not have strong hair, but you have ten dexterous fingers and walk on the ground. The best among them have wisdom and can even communicate now. Ether... But if I find a monkey that has lost its fur, give it wisdom, make it speak human words, and even help it become a musician, can it be considered a human being?"
"Do you think it's possible?"
Ye Qingxuan retorted: "A monkey is a monkey, no matter how human beings are, if you think a monkey can do it, why not turn yourself into a monkey."
"Then what is the nature of human beings?"
Ludovic's expression became more mocking: "As far as I know, there is a fool in the natural disaster who wants to become a human all his life and truly have a human soul. For this reason, he gave up his power and throne and gave up his immortal life. Falling from the clouds willingly... So, can he be called a human now?"
Ye Qingxuan was silent.
"Surely not?"
Ludovic asked himself and answered, "Just like a monkey cannot become a human being, there is a difference between him and humans. So, where does this difference lie? Is it in consciousness? Is it still in cognition? Or, in That twenty-one-gram soul that has never existed? Ye Qingxuan, answer my question, how can it be called a human being?"
Ye Qingxuan remained silent.
Because there has never been any accepted answer to this question.
Since ancient times, countless people have thought about this question, but they still have not received any perfect answer.
Even if there were, it would be nothing more than the wishful thinking of a paranoid man.
In the eyes of the nobles, only those with good education, elegant manners, noble blood and beautiful appearance are human beings. There is no other difference between beggars in the gutter and cockroaches.
In the eyes of the lower class people, the big bosses above are just profit creatures, living corpses pursuing money and fame, and even idiots who can't even explain why they are noble.
But what exactly does it take to be considered a human being
Never in the history of history has any standard been able to assess human qualifications.
By skin color? Black person? White people? Asian
By pedigree? Blood of heaven and man? Descendants of glory? Or a humble commoner
In Tianzhu, people are divided into six classes by birth, so which class can be called a human being? Those untouchables who are not worth mentioning? Or the noble sages
Or, distinguish through morality
Good people are human beings, but evil people are not human beings? Patriots are human beings, so aren’t those traitors human beings? Noble people are human beings, and despicable people should also be human beings, right
Through ideas
By Do you prefer sweet tofu or salty tofu? By Do you like cats? Or to put it simply and crudely, according to gender, men are human beings and women are not human beings.
Homosexuals are not human beings, and bisexual people are not human beings either... But is this answer really correct
Ye Qingxuan's mind was running uncontrollably. Under Ludovic's guidance, it was like a derailed carriage, running forward crazily and uncontrollably.
In just a short moment, I was sweating profusely and had a splitting headache.
But he couldn't find any answer at all.
"Ye Qingxuan, what is a human being?"
Ludovic tapped his index finger on the table and said indifferently: "Humans are just a kind of creature. Humans are no different from beasts, fish and birds, and those things you call monsters. They are all just a kind of creature. , and even your shortcomings are even more. You are afraid of cold, heat, hunger, night, fire... You are even afraid of yourself... So, why is it so difficult to become a human being as you think? Where did you come from? Faith claims to be the 'superior of all things' and feels unique in this world? You don't even belong to this world..."
Ye Qingxuan felt a splitting headache and was speechless.
"Unfortunately, I originally thought you would say something constructive, but it seems I am still too harsh on you."
Ludovic sighed softly, "It would be great if I could have such a long talk with Ye Lanzhou. I really want to talk to him. He will definitely give me the answer I want, right? After all, he has helped me so much, I I should be grateful to him. Without his research information, I wouldn’t have been able to personify my thinking and lower it to the material world so quickly.”
As he spoke, he reached out and patted Ye Qingxuan on the shoulder, as if encouraging the junior, with a kind and kind tone: "Your father is a great man. Ye Qingxuan, you need to respect him."
Ye Qingxuan was stunned and felt creepy.
Even among the top levels of natural disasters, there are only a handful of existences with personality.
The three wise men are called together precisely because of their perfection of personality.
The Hundred Eyes itself is the aggregation of all darkness in the Great Source, the source of all evil in the world, and its essence is a terrifying thing that is difficult for humans to understand.
His appearance alone is enough to drive people crazy, and when you communicate with him, you will be infected by the wisdom of chaos. When you are stared at by him, it is like falling into an abyss.
Just existing creates an abyss.
Compared with Him, the human will itself is as small as a mote of dust.
He itself has a huge "gravity" that can distort, assimilate, and erode everything close to him... Therefore, the black musicians who have been in contact with it for a long time are more inhuman than the other, and those who have gained power from him are also Will be transformed into a nightmare monster.
He himself has a huge and chaotic will, but there is no so-called small "personality" in it. Even in the eyes of hundreds of people, he is an existence with hundreds of appearances and hundreds of words and actions.
Human beings can only see the insignificant part that they come into contact with, and no one even knows its full picture and limits so far.
If such huge chaos and darkness were controlled and managed by a unified personality, how terrifying would it turn into
But in an instant, Ye Qingxuan reacted.
For those with hundreds of eyes, having a personality or not has no meaning at all, and there is no so-called personality that can control and encompass such huge darkness and chaos.
What the Hundred-Eyed One did was just create his own personality and turn it into the core of this incarnation.
That is to say…
A flash of inspiration flashed in his heart.
—Is this incarnation of Ludovic the product of the personification of the Hundred-Eyed One
In this case, it makes sense.
But a new question arises. "Personification of natural disasters" is a technology developed by Ye Lanzhou in the secret institution of the Holy City. How did this technology flow into the hands of the Hundred Eyes
In a daze, he suddenly froze.
Raising his head, he stared at the Hundred-Eyed Man and said word by word: "Could it be that the so-called 'natural disaster experiment'... was your idea from the beginning, right?"
Then Ludovic smiled.
"Children can be taught."
