Father God’s emptiness declaration to Abyss Xiling is actually just a precautionary measure, because anyway, the current generation of Abyss Xiling is saving all orderly worlds, and we have no position or motivation to declare war on her, let alone both sides At present, it is still an ally relationship, but Abyss Xiling itself is a very dangerous individual: her way of thinking is destined that as long as her "empire" conflicts with other worlds of order, then this guy will immediately turn into a disaster of the void— Just like in those few years when Daye just started.
It has nothing to do with good and evil, and has nothing to do with camps. Destroying the world in a completely neutral and indifferent way is more dangerous than any "devil king" with evil goals, because she has no malicious intentions or good intentions. An unstoppable disaster machine.
In order to prevent this from happening in the future, and considering the "promoting effect" of Abyss Xiling's great cause on the fallen apostles, God the Father made a declaration of emptiness—but to be honest, I am afraid that everyone at the scene did not want this declaration to be realized day.
The short-term contact allowed us to re-understand Abyss Xiling. This ruler of the abyss who has always been considered "evil, tyrannical, and full of destructive tendencies" actually has a purer heart than anyone else. Knowing the truth of "Great Cause" After that, neither the New Empire nor the Protoss believed that it was a wise choice to continue fighting the Abyss Xiling.
The harsh content of the "Declaration of the Void" made the atmosphere a little stiff. Although Abyss Xiling still had that faint smile on her face, I knew she was not very calm at this time. I tried to make my tone more calm and relaxed, and said to her: "What is your plan after the bridge is built?"
"Didn't I say it? Continue to revive the empire. I will first rebuild everything on the other side, and then find a way to use the materials there to create new tribes, and return to the main bank through the long bridge... This may be a very long project, and in the future Been busy for a long time."
"I know, I'm asking about your short-term goals," I looked at Abyss Xiling, "You won't continue to destroy the world of order, right?"
"At present, in the process of rebuilding the empire, there is no need to sacrifice the world of order," Abyss Xiling took a deep look at the Father God, "Not every plan is as cruel as building a bridge, just rebuilding the country, There are endless neutral areas in the void waiting for me to develop. You also know that I and my nodes can control themselves when it is not necessary: although the polluters are tyrannical, they are not completely unable to control their own destruction. Inclination, otherwise, the wars outside the Abyssal Region would not be as petty as they have been in recent years."
"What if one day your 'imperial interests' really conflict with the world of order again?" Sheila asked lightly.
Abyss Xiling thought for a long time this time. Although the answer seemed to be the only one, it was difficult for her to admit this fact. After a few seconds, she sighed: "Well, maybe I will come to seek Your suggestions... Sandora once warned me a word: many times there is more than one way to solve a problem, and some methods may not be the most 'accurate' in mathematics, but may be the most 'appropriate' in fact, probably I have to learn Now you are thinking about problems according to the logic of your real world, maybe your way of thinking really makes sense."
After the void creature showed its limit and determination, this stubborn guy finally gave in for the first time: I really didn't expect this guy's logic to be flexible, and I thought her thinking process was indestructible.
"No room for flexibility is a complete procedure," Abyss Xiling couldn't help but refute after hearing my sigh, "I just insist on the most efficient way of thinking, and I will repair myself when the situation requires . Efficient doesn’t necessarily equal appropriate.”
I grinned: Anyway, another headache has been solved.
"The official business is over, let's talk about private matters." At this time, Father God suddenly clapped his hands, attracting the attention of others, "Chen, I want to hear about your memory loss—it was the 'accident' seventy thousand years ago '.Maybe it can give me some reference."
I immediately knew what the other party was going to say, so I hurried back to the long table and told about the events of that year and my life as a human being. Of course, I can’t remember the events of that year, so I can tell others There are only things pieced together from ancient materials, diaries left by my sister, and Aurelia's memoirs. Basically, it is almost the same.
"The specifics are like this," I spent nearly half an hour roughly telling these things, although what I said was about my own things, it still felt a little unreal, "I really don't remember the situation back then, and as a human being In the past 20 years, I have not shown any abnormalities at all. Since I was a child, even the physical examination is at an ordinary level of health. The school doctor did not find that there is something like a dark dragon sealed in my body... Oh, Sandora back then They also strengthened my body, and at that time, even the imperial technology could not detect any abnormalities in my body and soul, and I was completely a normal earthling.”
"External appearances—whether physical or spiritual—are of no reference," Sheila reminded, "Because all things come from the void, so the void can manifest all things, and you are living like a stone. Years are also normal, the key is after you start to wake up... At this stage your body and soul can still appear as mortals, but your 'essence' is already a void creature, and you have not recovered a single bit of memory during this process ?”
"No," I shook my head vigorously, which I am sure of, "Let's not talk about recovering my memory. In the beginning, I even struggled for a long time on how to speak in the void state, and I fought with Bingtis One almost exhausted me to death."
"Not only have I lost all my memory, but I've even lost my instincts," Father God rubbed his chin, and looked at Sheila with a serious expression, "It was the same when I just realized that I existed. It took me tens of thousands of years to figure out that I need a body before any outsiders. How about you?"
"Almost," Sheila also nodded, "What did I know when I just woke up? There was nothing around me. I was in a daze for a long time, and then I realized that it was too deserted, and then I went to look for it. Other 'existences' other than myself... I've always thought this was a normal occurrence for Void creatures to be born."
Father God crossed his fingers under his chin, with a pensive look on his face: "No memory, no instinct, waking up in a daze, at first glance it does look like a normal newborn appearance, but according to Chen's description, after suffering a major injury The resurrection is also in the same state... In addition, you and I are quite ancient void creatures. When we wake up, the surroundings are chaotic. Without relatives and friends, it is impossible for anyone to remind me of the past, so even if I have just 'resurrected' 'Those who come here will also be mistaken for freshmen... "
"Hey," Sheila tugged on Father God's sleeve, "We've all been resurrected, I mean 'resurrection' in the conventional sense."
"Well, I know what you want to say," Father God showed a thoughtful look, "We have all 'died' several times, or to be precise, we have been 'banished back to the void state' several times, and after each resurrection, we will not die. Any problems such as memory damage and lack of instinct appear, just like waking up after a normal sleep. But Chen's resurrection seems to be much more serious, it is really reborn again. No matter how the void creature is born, its essence It's all the same, so what happened to him may happen to us. I think this can be divided into two levels of resurrection: ordinary 'exile', which is what you and I have experienced over the years, sleep When you get up, nothing will change. The serious one is 'collapse', just like Chen's, the memory and instinct are completely lost, and after waking up, it is as blank as a new birth. And make a bold guess: maybe the 'birth' we always thought was just Just a resurrection from a 'disintegrated' state. This collapse was probably caused by last season's Cataclysm of the Void."
"Void creatures can also 'amnesia', and this alone sounds novel enough," Abyss Xiling suddenly interjected, "Who would have imagined that this would happen before."
I ignored her, but looked at Father God: "So you think you have experienced the last cataclysm of the void? Just because of the impact of the cataclysm, you lost your memory?"
"I didn't dare to think like this before, but don't you also have a 'criminal record' of amnesia?" Father God nodded and replied, "Heard the news from Abyss Xiling, if we don't know the shore again, why is there no record of the last cataclysm in the void? It’s too slow to doubt this matter.”
Sheila rubbed her chin and thought about the problem with burning eyes, and she didn't know what she was thinking, and finally said slowly: "Xingchen, you said that you found evidence that you experienced the last cataclysm of the void, and your inference just now There seems to be no problem, so let me just believe it... You may have really experienced the last cataclysm, but why did only the void creatures on the other side leave a message? Speaking of which, what are the traces you found in those 'places'? ? Your last words in your previous life?"
Sister Sheila is also a character who speaks indiscriminately, and coupled with her close relationship with Father God, some of her words are almost as full of sand as that female hooligan Bingtis.
"Not so exact," Father God said carefully, "In fact, all I found were some 'signs', some breaths that might be left by me. Those ancient places are similar to the ancient abyss gate and the wreckage of the world, logically It is said that they will be slowly swallowed by the void, but just like the abyss gate at the bottom of the God Realm, they have survived and are hidden in very remote corners. If I hadn’t consciously searched for them in the state of void roaming, I would never have found them. Yes. There is some slight breath in those already cold and dead ruins, and there is also the 'information' that was once created but has disappeared now. As for the specific 'last words' about the void catastrophe and bridge building, there is really no. Here On the other hand, maybe only the other side has a clear message. I don’t even have the memory of the ‘last season’ now, and of course I don’t know why I didn’t leave anything back then.”
"It may have been left behind but was not discovered, or it may have been smoothed out by the void. It can only be said that it is a good fortune to get the inheritance of 'bridge' on the other side." Sheila didn't seem to care much about this issue, "Well, Take this time to go to the Huron God Realm, and take me there to have a look, maybe you will find out that I also experienced the last cataclysm, so we two are made in heaven, and you can no longer refuse to have a baby with me... "
"Ahem," I saw this topic was about to collapse, and quickly coughed twice to bring the topic back to life, "You two are going to spend your honeymoon and wait for the things in front of you to be settled. Now let's assume that Xingchen has indeed experienced the past. The first season of cataclysm, Sister Xila is to be determined, and I am indeed a junior in this season, after confirming this question...why will the void cataclysm cause amnesia?"
"There are two possibilities," Father God explained one by one with a smile on his fingers, "The first possibility is that void creatures are not 100% immune to catastrophe. Didn't Abyss Xiling say that after the catastrophe, even void creatures and their dependents They will all lose their physical bodies, leaving only their consciousness floating around, and it is possible that any damage may occur in the process. The second possibility is... Maybe I erased the memory myself."
"Are you full?" Sheila said bluntly - she was probably the only one in the world who could choke on Father God like this.
"If it were you," Father God glanced at Sheila, "if all the worlds of order were destroyed, everything you painstakingly created would disappear in the blink of an eye, and your children would collapse and die one after another during the long lonely wandering. Losing yourself, even you yourself can't see when the new order will appear, will you still choose to keep those memories?"
Sheila opened her mouth, and finally had a weird expression: "Indeed, everything that was erased by the cataclysm cannot be reproduced. If that day comes, the past memories will become a meaningless burden... Maybe I will choose to forget it on my own initiative." But if the children I created persist with me, I will not give up, even if they are floating in the void in the form of remnant souls, it doesn’t matter.”
Father God nodded lightly: "Me too, as long as the children are here, I have no reason to give up, but if there is nothing left and only myself is left in the void, then it is better to just erase the past and start from scratch without pressure. It’s not a bad thing, I can create a new era of order, if there is no shadow in my heart, the newly created world will not be shrouded in shadow.”
I listened to Father God and King Huron discussing such a path of fate that can be described as miserable. It felt very strange, but I also felt that what they said made sense: If there is such a day, everything will return to zero, and only you will be left in the void …
Maybe I won't choose to forget anyway, Sandora, Qianqian, the awkward eldest lady, elder sister, and a bunch of messy problem children at home and a bunch of big and small bastards in Shadow City, no matter how many It's good to think about them for a while.
But as time goes by, "forgetting" will not be something you can control. These memories will always be indifferent and eventually disappear... Maybe the truth is this: only when the memories of void creatures in the previous season are completely eliminated, it represents the void. A cycle ends.
When the memory of void creatures dies, a new order in the void can be born: perhaps this is the true meaning of the periodic law of the void
I was just thinking wildly, but I suddenly thought of this, so I told my guess, and Sheila nodded immediately: "The disappearance of void creatures' memory of the previous cycle of order means the end of a cycle and the beginning of a new cycle." ? This is an interesting statement, but it may be true. The three of us represent the void itself, so our memory is also the memory of the void. Since there is "memory", it is not "zero". The essence of the catastrophe is to return Zero, so only when our memory has completely disappeared will it mean the end of zeroing. This is probably the truth about Xing Chen's memory loss: no matter whether he is active or passive, in short, when he forgets everything, Void will be reborn. The era will begin. But this kind of 'forgetting' seems to have loopholes, we can transfer our own memory to some relatively inconspicuous and easily overlooked gadgets, such as those ancient ruins you found in Xingchen , which shows that void creatures have the ability to preserve some things: although we cannot preserve our own memories, we can preserve other things by taking advantage of the loopholes. The people on the other side probably found this method and passed on the matter of building bridges ... So Xingchen, you are such an idiot, why didn't you leave anything useful? And even those useless things are only discovered now."
Father God's face immediately darkened: "It's all happened in my previous life, I don't know how I did it. Maybe I had a bad life in my previous life, and I didn't understand how I died until the end of my life."
"Oh, yes, maybe you were a jerk or an idiot in your previous life, and of course you might have been a woman." Sister Sheila's thoughts suddenly widened, and then she looked at her unrequited love with burning eyes, "In any case Sure enough, we should have a baby right away, or at least get married and start living!"
For the first time, I saw the lukewarm Father God almost jumped up: "Why did you think of this all of a sudden!?"
"Think about it, the reason for the disappearance of the void creature's memory may be loneliness, and the children we created now can only be said to be dependents. After the catastrophe, they may only last for a while, so the two who can really last for a long time are the two of us... Oh, and now there is a younger brother. To sum up, let’s get married quickly, so that even if a catastrophe happens, we will have a companion... Oh, the younger brother can be our best man. We can fight hard, maybe until the void can’t hold back The new cycle starts early, and then I work hard, let's create a new race... "
I:"… "
"They..." At this time, Abyss Xiling couldn't help but touch my arm, "I've only heard about King Huron chasing God the Father, but they can be so unrestrained?"
I nodded sadly: "Now you know why Father God ran away as soon as he saw Sheila."
Then Abyss Xiling and I were silent at the same time, and finally said in unison: "It's strange that she can catch up like this!"
(It's really distressing... Why is it so troublesome to publish a physical book? Where is it stuck?) RS
