"But all peace is obtained in exchange for war. This cannot be changed, just like we cannot change His Majesty's will." Kaqi sighed.
Noyce was in a daze, and after a while, he whispered: "Indeed, this is something that cannot be changed, just like we will be destroyed in the end, and it cannot be stopped. Living in this doomsday, who can escape the sea of suffering? Climb ashore , perhaps the Prison of Thorns."
"Will be destroyed in the end?" Kaqi was stunned, and frowned: "What do you mean?"
Noyce leaned lightly on the chair, looked up at the blue sky above his head, felt that the clouds and mist were moving extremely fast, and seemed to be gathering here in large numbers, he said faintly: "Before, I always thought that I could get rid of it with my own efforts. Difficulty, ending suffering, but I didn’t know until I was in prison that there are many things you can’t change. Sometimes you have to deal with not a single person, but a system that has lasted for hundreds or thousands of years. The entire empire, even, all civilians in the entire empire!"
"When you want to change, you have to destroy it all."
"If you are unwilling to change, you can only be destroyed, or assimilated, smoothed the edges and corners, and become the least prominent one in the crowd."
Speaking of this, Noyce was slightly silent, and said after a while: "Until he was released from prison, he grew up with His Majesty, and now he has climbed to the status of king, and his vision has expanded from a small and huge wall to the whole world. I thought , all suffering will leave me, and I will have no worries in this life, but later I realized that I was wrong, I am no different from the weak prisoner trapped in the giant wall of Sylvia."
"I am powerful and powerful, but I will eventually die, die of old age, or be killed."
"From the moment of birth, people are counting down to death. This is the truth of life. What a sad thing!"
"No matter how you struggle, whether you are brilliant or sad, after death, you will be forgotten. Even if someone knows your name and it is passed down for generations, what's the point? Those who remember your glorious deeds are What kind of people? Are there despicable thieves? Rapists? Moral pariahs? If there are, then what is there to be happy about being remembered by these people?"
Kaqi scratched his head and said, "Why do you say that? I feel like you are like those poets and writers who play with their brains. You are not praising life all day long, or exploring whether the meaning of life is to live or die."
"The meaning of life?" Noyce glanced at him, chuckled, and said, "The meaning of life is meaningless! What difference does it make whether you live or die? When all lives come to an end, they will die." Destruction, and then a new life is born from the destroyed corpse, continuing a new round of struggle and reproduction, and finally reaching the end of destruction."
"It's meaningless?" Kaqi shook his head and said, "Wouldn't the writers you said vomit blood after listening to it? Doesn't it seem that they study this all day long just to make a living? I think it's quite interesting. Only the weak will be destroyed, not all of us, and the strong will not be destroyed."
"That's only a matter of time." Noyes smiled lightly, and said: "As long as there is desire, the end times will not stop, and human beings will continue to roll in this piece of meat grinder, eventually throwing a cavity of boiling blood The clean, well-groomed skin is completely twisted, the hard and unyielding bones are chewed until it turns into a pile of unrecognizable rotten meat, which is the final form in the meat grinder."
"Can this form be considered alive?"
Kaqi was startled, his mind was not as rough as it looked on the outside, he had already heard the connotation and deep meaning in Noyce's words, and when he thought of the deepest meaning expressed there, he suddenly felt a chill.
As long as there is desire, the last days will not stop
He thought about this sentence over and over in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more he trembled.
"Whether it's the old times or today, the end times have never stopped." Noyes didn't care about Kaqi's expression, and said to himself: "The end times represent death, where there is fighting, there is death, and where there is desire, there is death." Struggle, this is an unsolvable cycle. From the birth of life, it is doomed to struggle in the last days, to work hard for survival, to live with your head up, but one day you will struggle until you can live with your head up and enjoy the hard-won When you dream of living, can you still keep your body as clean as before?"
"The sages teach us to restrain our desires, and the law compels us to restrain our desires. Everything tells us that desire is the root of destruction!"
"However, the sage did not teach us how to live after restraining our desires. Nor did the law tell us how to protect ourselves after restraining our desires."
"One step forward is the abyss hell."
"Stop, still."
"Back back, the thorns behind you will pierce your heart with thousands of arrows."
"We can only move forward, keep moving forward, looking for hope, that hope is like fishing ahead of the fish, and we are greedy cats, always chasing, never getting a bite."
Kaqi's face became extremely ugly, and he couldn't help interrupting him, saying: "Could it be that your majesty can't escape? Your majesty has no desires anymore, and is already like a god. Could it be that he can't escape from the vortex of the end of the world?"
Noyce glanced at him, seeming to see through his thoughts, his tone became a little indifferent, and said: "Do you think that after becoming a god, you can live forever and jump out of the apocalypse? But you don't know, your majesty is in the vortex of the apocalypse The person in the deepest place is beyond redemption! He has long since died. Even if he has truly become a god, how can he be the original him? The last days have already crushed him into powdery rotten flesh. The original appearance, when you are completely different, what is the difference between dead and dead?"
Kachi froze.
"Becoming a god...can't you get rid of it?" He felt a slight throbbing pain in his heart, and he felt a sense of depression that made it difficult to breathe.
Noyce's eyes flickered suddenly, and he said: "Your Majesty is not hopeless, maybe... Only when that girl appears, can Your Majesty be put together."
"You mean, Miss Hailisha?" Kaqi's pupils shrank slightly.
…
…
Half a year after the rebellion of the Hundred Kings.
The large-scale reconstruction of the imperial capital has restored it to its original state, but the number of princes and nobles living in the imperial capital has gradually decreased, and they are worried that such assassination attacks will happen again and they will be implicated.
"Aurora, I heard that there is news about Hailisa from the Northern Corpse Kingdom?" In the rebuilt imperial palace, Du Dian, who was dressed in a dark golden lace royal robe, sat on the throne, looking down indifferently at the graceful figure below the hall. woman.
Aurora looked respectful, and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the corpse king just said that he saw a suspected figure of Miss Hailisha from other corpses, but the details still need to be investigated."
