161, a hundred years of loneliness

The first choice was to stay. At that time, Best was a pure soul state, and she was unprecedentedly awake, but she could not stay in the world independently. Osiris, who had great supernatural powers, used the magical arts that only gods could master, and could keep her in the underworld, use the power of the underworld to repair her soul, and relies on the statues of the gods everywhere again. Maybe she could recondensate the body and wait until one day she could become a god who truly transcends eternal life.

This seems to be the best choice. She is also the goddess Best, the waiter of the underworld, and has hope of transcending eternal life.

The second choice is to forget. The imprint of the soul is the soul itself. It is impossible to forget it by saying that it is forgotten. Osiris asked Best to unfold the imprint of the soul to him, just like Schrödinger did to Amon today, saying "name" and "real language". But Osiris did not only experience it, but he had the means to incorporate these imprints into his soul, so Best would no longer exist.

This seems to be the worst choice, which means the end of everything. The practice of three hundred years will eventually disappear, and the soul mark is left to Osiris.

The third choice is to refuse, because the first two choices must be bestowed on Best herself, otherwise Osiris will not be able to stop her. Best can be regarded as Osiris never appeared at this moment, and still combines his soul with new life and becomes a cat according to her wishes. This is the only thing she can do in the last three hundred years of cultivation.

These three choices may be complicated, but without the concept of time, it is the moment when the soul wakes up. Once Best makes a decision, everything is over.

...

Amon finally understood what "the question of fate, the judgment of the end" was. He escaped from Schrödinger's soul imprint. Instead of opening his eyes, he sat for a whole day before he could barely recover. Although he was not the one who experienced the final test, he was also immersive. Amon's soul was injured and could not be repaired in one or two days.

He was located in a village built by Moses and others, just like a small town of Duke. In the middle of two neat stone houses is a temple, and there is a square in front of the temple. When Amon unfolds Schrödinger's soul mark, he sat in front of the altar in the temple.

This temple was built by Moses and others for their god "Araho". Moses had never seen Araho before, and Araho was the "only god" and did not allow Moses to build a statue like other temples, so there was only one symbolic totem on the altar - the Cross of Light.

The cross is divided into four parts: up, down, left and right, the three sides are equally long, and the lower side is twice the length of the other three sides. In the center of the cross, there is a sun-shaped ring radiating with light, and on the top, left and right tips of the cross, each with three radial small rings, which look like three small crosses.

This image is widely circulated on the Tianshu Continent. It symbolizes "light". The light that shines on the world and awakens all things. In many occasions, it also symbolizes the sun, giving all things to grow, and is the source of life...

In addition to the modification of light and sun, the cross shape itself is also a mysterious totem that has been popular in the Tianshu continent since ancient times. In the Kingdom of Barron and Hati, the cross is a torture instrument, hanging people who commit serious crimes on it to the public. Therefore, the cross shape totem also symbolizes suffering and the desire to be redeemed in suffering. In Aju, people used cross-shaped wooden stakes to insert them on the river beach, and the horizontal frame represents the height of the rise of the flood. This totem was later regarded as a symbol of life and reproduction.

Moses stood a cross of light in the temple, symbolizing his faith in Arhaha, and his meaning was very complicated.

Schrödinger stood in front of Amon, from sunrise to sunset to sunrise again, Amon finally opened his eyes. Schrödinger asked with concern: "Are you okay? Are you seriously injured?"

Amon reached out to pick up the cat, touched it gently in his arms, and said, "I'm fine, I just lost my strength, and it may take some time to recover."

Amon lost his strength again, unlike the last test, but a feeling of being imprisoned. He was injured in Schrödinger's soul mark and needed to recuperate for a while to recover, but his body was normal and he was a strong young man in his twenties.

Amon stood up with Schrödinger in his arms, and glanced at the cross on the altar, which symbolized the belief of the people of Duke Town in his country. However, Moses and others were on a difficult journey. He sighed and hugged Schrödinger and walked out, hugging the cat in his arms as if he was hugging a baby. He said while walking: "The weather is good and the air is good. Let's take a walk in the mountains and get some wild game. I can't use magic for the time being, so I won't go down the river to catch fish today."

The next month, the servants in the territory saw the general regaining a leisurely and comfortable life. He did not ride a horse or take his entourage. He took a cat to swim around with wine and food every day, watching the various scenery of the world. The places they visited most were on the banks of the Ronnie River and the fields near He Lie Mountain. No one could hear Amon's private conversation with the cat.

Amon once asked Schrödinger: "It is normal for you to refuse the second choice, but why didn't you agree to the first choice?"

Schrödinger replied unhappily and angrily: "I only realized what the 'destiny question, the judgment of the end of the road' is. The gods guided me on that road, and what I did on that road is ultimately my own end. Do I still have to be Best again? Besides, being a lonely soul in the underworld has actually become the source of power for Osiris."

In a sense, Best has always been a tool for the gods. She has killed so many powerful demons that when the final test comes, the powerful demon body that has been practicing for three hundred years cannot bear it. She accepted the dispatch of the gods to complete the task. On the other hand, the gods also allowed her to enjoy the sacrifices in the temple. The prayers and faith of countless people offset most of the resentment impacts during the judgment of the end of the world, allowing her to retain her soul.

Amon asked again: "When you come back to your senses, you are unwilling to be a tool for Osiris and the Nine-Linked Gods. Have you ever resented them?"

Schrödinger shook his head and said, "No, I don't hate it! I am just a cat who has been lucky enough to open up his intelligence. If I had no guidance from Isis, I would not know what fate would be. It would be too difficult to find the right path in the thousands of wrong paths. It is more likely that the ending will be the same as those demons who were killed by me. He was brought into the Nine-Linked Gods and gained strong power and became a goddess on the altar. With three hundred years of time, I am already a lucky cat and should not complain about anything. What I did is what I am willing to do, and I have already borne the consequences, that's it."

Amon: "Divine God tells you everything, but he doesn't say the final test. Do you know the reason?"

Schrödinger: "When I finally understand, I don't resent Osiris. Of course there is a reason he never told me. If I had known what the final end of this road was a long time ago, I would probably be timid and would not pass the previous tests and would not be able to go that step at all. Although the test is terrible, it must be qualified to face it. The coming of the test is a symbol of achievement.

But I will not be grateful to Osiris. If I guess from my own heart, I cannot achieve such achievements, and it will be useless to him. Gods need powerful and courageous messengers to complete all kinds of difficult tasks. No god will tell the secret to the guide in advance, and will only make various arrangements and agreements."

Amon suddenly thought of something, looked down at Schrödinger and said, "Tseney once reminded me of three things. It seems to be related to the final test. Did you tell Bell?"

Schrödinger lowered his head and looked at the soil at his feet: "I reminded Bell, but it may not be all good intentions. I once said, "What would you do if you know this secret is good or bad for you?"

Amon smiled and said, "If you don't do much, there is no difference between knowing and not knowing. Actually, I have also reminded my disciples, but some things are like fate, which you must face."

A group of ants crawled past Schrödinger's feet, and the cat seemed to be muttering to himself: "This principle is simple, and it is also a hope to reach the end of human achievements. Can you really do it?"

Amon sighed softly: "I don't know either. Since I said that, then I will confirm it like this."

...

A month later, Amon unfolded Schrödinger's soul mark again, this was the last time.

It felt like reincarnation, Schrödinger became a new kitten again. It finally opened its light blue eyelids in the haze and looked at this strange and unknown world. At this moment, the kitten was still confused and could not even struggle to stand firm. He did not understand who it was, but his eyes were particularly clear.

As it grows up, it gradually manifests its unique magic. It can recognize many things around it. Although it has never seen them before, it naturally knows what they are and what their uses are. This makes it instinctively avoid a lot of harm. The survival rate of kittens in the wild is very low. The cubs born in that year will be frozen to death by at least half of them in the first cold wave when winter comes. This is a natural law.

A small number of lucky people who survived have to face the predation of wild animals, the difficulty of finding food, and various unpredictable injuries. Schrödinger has been able to make nests by himself since he was a toddler. He brought in all kinds of things that can keep warm and looked for safe areas to shelter from the rain. After spending the first winter, the feeling of déjön for many things in the world became stronger and stronger.

Finally one day, it followed the wandering cat from the secluded corner to the square in front of the temple of Isis, and suddenly realized that it had been here!

This is the achievement that Best has achieved. She can re-engage life with memory, but at the beginning this memory is very dazed and requires arousal bit by bit. The reason is also very simple. The body and mind are one, and the soul is limited by vitality. A kitten's head does not have the ability to think or recall so much complex information. It can only understand what it could understand at that time.

Best actually did not perish, but was just continuing with such a situation and had another chance to start over. But this does not mean that it can recover its past achievements. Cats are weak, and a big dog may take its life. Before it has time to cultivate its power, a wild cat can grow to two years old is already a lucky person among the same kind.

Its memories gradually became clear with its growth, and were retrieved from the familiar shadow, and once again opened up the spiritual intelligence. If you were lucky enough, it might eventually re-enter the path to the gods, but if it lost the protection and support of the gods, its difficulties were unimaginable. Just shortly after it opened up the spiritual intelligence, Osiris appeared again.

One day, he was dozing off under the wall outside the temple, and the cats around him suddenly woke up and fled. Schrödinger opened his eyes and looked up and saw a god in the shadow, and suddenly recognized the person. Osiris said: "Best, welcome you back!"

It was Osiris who awakened its soul in advance and used the magic to tell it about its previous experiences.

When it was finally able to practice again, Osiris found it and asked again: "Best, you are not dead, you are just reborn in another way. I have been looking forward to you to recover. Your experience allows you to start again. How lucky you are compared to the countless powerful people who fell in the test in history. As long as you unfold your soul mark to me, you are still a member of the Nine-Linked Godline."

However, Schrödinger replied: "I want to make a new choice, but I don't want to have any relationship with the Nine-Lian God."

Osiris said: "This is not your choice. The guidance of the Nine-Link Gods makes you a magical cat. You cannot violate the oath you made back then. If you give up your mission, it is also equivalent to giving up your strength and path."

At first, Schrödinger didn't quite understand what Osiris said. Later, Schrödinger began to practice and used many years to break through many tests, but his strength never recovered. But this did not prevent Schrödinger from continuing to practice. The realm he confirmed was unimpeded, but he just did not use that power and passed the endless test. It became a cat with a soul imprisoned, and always looked like a cat.

Did Osiris imprison its power? What it always possesses is just a cat's body. This imprisonment has been loosened. Schrödinger is a cat with a level 9 achievement of original power. He can occasionally gather strength to do something, but it consumes a lot of damage to his body.

Later, Bell came to the Temple of Isis and found a cat peeking at classics in the archives. Schrödinger also tried to find a way to relieve his soul from various records. Bell was surprised to find that the cat could not be found with his detection magic. It was almost a stealth skill that only gods possessed, so he stole the cat and wanted to know its secret.

But Schrödinger only gave Bell three reminders. The genius Bell guessed that Schrödinger might be a sealed god. He once said: "If I can find a way to unlock your seal, you can tell me the secret. The sealing magic technique on earth is nothing more than the transformation of the wise information magic technique, and I am the most wise information magic master now."

Amon already understood what happened next. Bell fled to the deep mountains of the Youdi River Valley and threw Schrödinger from the air with that magical bone. Schrödinger landed safely, but when the bones were closed, it fell into the pool. Schrödinger took Bell's last message to find the old madman in Duke Town, and waited until Amon's appearance.

From beginning to end, after four hundred years of experience, Amon returned to Duke Town, where he grew up as a bystander. He saw himself in his baby's cradle and his mother who had died in childhood.

In the soul imprint, Amon experienced everything as Schrödinger, but saw himself in this memory. This was an indescribable feeling. He finally had a thought, and when he thoughts came to an end, everything could not stay in Schrödinger's soul imprint.

When he opened his eyes, it was not yet dawn, and the cat's eyes in the dark were gem-like luster. Schrödinger looked at him with expectation, but asked in a worried tone: "What's wrong with you? Haven't you experienced it in full?"

Amon whispered, "Yes, how did you know? Didn't you know nothing when you unfold the soul mark?"

Schrödinger jumped onto his lap, arched his head into his arms and said, "Because your eyes are filled with tears."

Amon reached out and hugged Schrödinger on his chest and said, "I'm so sorry, I'm thinking about it! Because I saw my mother, I fully saw her face for the first time. I was too young when she passed away. Thank you very much!"

Schrödinger's voice was a little confused, and he murmured on Amon's chest: "Why do you want to say sorry? It's me who should say thank you! It's already a miracle that you can experience until now. Even in the judgment of the end of the world, you have no idea and endured four hundred years of loneliness without hesitation, just to help me.

It is normal for you not to stick to the end, because the final marks are mostly watching your own experiences. You have experienced endless tests in my soul marks, but that is not your own test after all, and you do not have that real state. Only when you break through the ninth level of achievement in the future will you truly confirm it.”

Amon hugged Schrödinger in his arms and said softly: "You have something to ask me, why don't you speak?"

Schrödinger drilled his head into his arms: "You know more about my four hundred years of experience than myself. Have you found the seal that confines the soul?"

Amon apologized, "Maybe he found a little trace, but it's not very clear. Can you give me a few more days? I'm going to meditate alone in the door and not see anyone for the time being, including you."

Schrödinger raised his head and said, "I understand. You need to prove it in your practice. Thank you for your hard work. I will wait for you."

The general left behind the door to thank the guests and ordered no one to disturb him. He practiced in silent meditation, experiencing and reminiscing about everything. Half a month passed by the passing of the Ronnie River, and Amon, who was still and silent, had been in the lonely meditation for a hundred years. He ordered his servants not to disturb him, but a messenger came from the distant kingdom of Hati, which forced Amon to walk out of the quiet room and receive him personally.

The arrival of this messenger was arranged by Amon half a year ago, and the imperial general had already thought of a plan to leave Eju.
