Helfas decided to take a look at the window sill, but when he stood on the small balcony on the upper floor of the Steel Castle building, he was stunned for a moment while looking at the bustling town scenery, and the scenery in front of him changed.

Just in the blink of an eye, the sun in the sky seemed to move a certain distance.

The crowd on the street also changed, and busy vendors began to sit down to eat. Under the harsh sun, the crowd also changed from dense to sparse in the blink of an eye.

This is not a strange thing, but it happened too fast.

Holding his hand on the railing, he leaned forward to look around.

"?"

It was as if time had disappeared for a while, but Helfas soon realized that it was not a problem with time, but with his own body and soul.

He felt like he was just dazed for a moment, but in fact he stood there blankly like a puppet for a long, long time.

Changing your body was indeed successful, but extending your life did not work. It's like you thought that finding a certain answer would solve the problem you were facing, but you found out that the answer had nothing to do with your problem.

Moreover, changing his body this time even brought a series of more problems to Helfas.

The most obvious point is that he finds that he often falls into a period of blank consciousness, just like a lamp without oil and the trickling water becomes trickling when it is about to run out.

“Spirituality!”

"Your spirit is about to run out."

He vaguely remembered what Anisa said. He didn't understand what it meant at the time, and he still doesn't understand its meaning now, but he roughly understood something about it from his personal experience.

feature.

The so-called spirituality should be the energy that supports a being like him who has a soul or wisdom and continues the power of wisdom.

Next.

This situation began to occur frequently, from once every few days to once every few days, and the indirect time became shorter and shorter.

Every time this happens, it's like ringing the death knell of his end for Helfas.

It's just that the bell is not rhythmic and gentle at all.

Instead, the knocks get faster and faster.

Dangdangdang became more and more impatient.

It's like roaring at Helfas: "Die quickly. I've let you go out to enjoy the beautiful world for long enough. It's time to come back to the darkness that belongs to you. Do you still want to stay there?"

Finally one day, he felt Zizhu again in his sleep late at night.

His consciousness is separated from the body and separated from reality.

Running all the way to the illusory kingdom in the dream, the edge of the physical and virtual bodies, finally drifting under the huge and isolated pillar of myth.

When you get closer, the pillars are so high that they don't reach the top, and densely packed names flash on them, densely intertwined and blurry.

Each name represents a person who once fought against monsters, or a monster who gained wisdom, or it belongs to a story about a witcher defeating monsters.

Before Helfas had time to appreciate its magnificence and beauty, a voice came into his mind.

"You're here again."

The shadow under the light appeared again. In a sense, the other party was his nightmare, the embodiment of the imaginary thing that kept ringing the death knell of his fate.

Helfas looked at her, sizing her up and saying nothing.

Although Anisa said that Helfas came here on his own, in Helfas's self-feeling, he was pulled here.

Anissa: "Are you accepting your fate?"

Herfas: "If you had told me more, maybe I would have accepted my fate sooner."

Anissa said affirmatively: "You have already accepted your fate."

It seemed that she also knew how to read minds, so Herfas's little tricks and disguises didn't have much effect in front of her.

Helfas did not follow what the other party said, but asked directly: "What is spirituality?"

Anissa paused for a while before answering his question, as if she wanted to deepen Helfas's despair and dispel his illusions: "It is the most fundamental energy of the species of wisdom."

Helfas asked: "How can I get replenishment?"

Anissa: "I will guide you to a place. Only with the help of the power and something there can you embark on the path you should take."

Helfas: "I will not follow your arrangements. I don't believe there is any unreasonable kindness in this world. You must have some purpose."

Anissa did not deny: "You have no choice."

Helfas: "I can choose not to return to Ji Zhu. Even if I turn into a spirit without intelligence and wander around the world, it will at least be better than here. Compared with leaving my destiny in the hands of a being that I can't understand at all,

Even if it disappears into the beautiful scenery of the world, at least it is not the worst ending."

Anissa: "You will not disappear, you will only live again and again until the end."

Helfas: "You say it with such certainty, it's like it's fate."

Anissa listened to Helfas's words, and she seemed to think Helfas was strange.

"A person who is locked in a cage and cannot get out, a person who knows nothing, a person who is full of secrets."

"Isn't this the most ridiculous thing if you don't believe in destiny?"

Helfas: "I heard that you guarded the pillar for ten thousand years, and you were sealed for a thousand years in order not to have your name engraved on the pillar. Why on earth was it worth it for you to do this?"

Anissa did not answer directly, but told a series of stories.

"Some people have kept an oath for 250 million years, until life has changed from a fish to the ancestor of all living things, and until the earth has died and been reborn again and again."

"There are people who have died hundreds of thousands of times across the ages for an ideal and come back to life. Until the last moment, they still haven't found the answer but still move forward."

"They can pursue a pursuit from ancient times to the present, from the earth to the sea of ​​​​stars, from the origin of time to the end of time."

"What does it mean if I wait for such a short moment for a purpose?"

Herfas was speechless.

In every conversation, he felt as if he was being attacked from a superior perspective by the other party.

The other person seemed to be telling him how small the world he saw was, that everything he cared about was just a dream, and that the long years he had experienced were all a drop in the ocean.

Some of the determinations he thought he had mustered up the courage to make, and thought he had seen through life, death, and the human world, seemed to the other party as ridiculous as a child's swearing. How can you prove it without going through real suffering and changes over the ages?

I am strong enough to withstand the passage of time.

Anissa brought the topic back to the original one, and she stood in the shadows and said to Helfas.

"I am not in a hurry."

"Ten thousand years, one hundred thousand years, one million years, ten million years, it's all fine."

"If you don't want to do it this time, then I'll wait for the next time, and the next time, it won't matter."

"Your soul is wandering in the world. You can read thousands of sails and walk through every corner of the earth, but one day you will set foot here again and go to the road you should take."

she says.

"Fate is not about forcing you to do something, but that no matter how you avoid the ending, you will still inevitably take that fork in the road."

Helfas was completely unable to understand the world in the eyes of these beings, leaving only endless silence.

——

The Court of Order.

There are many animals made of purple in the garden. The original bird that once accompanied her has long since disappeared, replaced by another group flying around in the huge courtyard with strange sounds.

She is leading the monks and scepter patriarch professionals to conduct an experiment to record the reproduction and growth of various types of life.

Although she didn't speak, she was obviously anxious.

she thought.

"try again."

"The first method should work."

"I will definitely find the problem and find a way to create a perfect body."

Zi is still trying to find a way to extend Helfas's life. She still seems to think that the problem lies in the body she made. She is not strong enough and the body she made is not perfect enough.

She had been busy all day, and when she was passing by the promenade by the pool at starry night, she suddenly saw a shadow. It was Helfas.

Helfas had just woken up from his dream and came here in soul form.

Although it was already late at night, his soul couldn't feel the cold, and naturally he couldn't feel the desolation of the cold autumn and winter nights. All he saw were pictures of heavy shadows and lights, but no real feelings.

He turned to look at Zi: "Are you still continuing?"

Zi: "Well, I will definitely succeed, just wait a little longer."

Helfas sighed: "It's not the body's problem, let alone your problem. You can't solve it."

Zi: "We have to do something."

Helfas smiled and asked her: "If I really die, what are your next plans?"

Zi looked at Helfas quietly. She seemed to not want to hear Helfas say such words, but she still replied: "Resurrect you."
