The void declaration made by Father God to the Abyss Xiling is actually just a precautionary measure, because no matter what, the current generation of Abyss Xiling is saving all the world of order, and we have no position or motive to declare war on her, not to mention both sides.
They are still allies at the moment, but Abyss Xiling itself is an extremely dangerous individual: her way of thinking is destined that as long as her "empire" conflicts with other worlds of order, this guy will immediately turn into a disaster of the void -
— Just like in the early years when the great cause was just starting.
It has nothing to do with good or evil, or camp, and destroys the world in a completely neutral and indifferent way. This is more dangerous than any "devil king" with evil goals, because she has no malice or good intentions. It is completely a movie that can only destroy herself.
An unstoppable disaster machine.
In order to prevent this situation from happening in the future, and taking into account the "promotion effect" of the Abyss Xiling's great cause on the fallen apostles, Father God made the Void Declaration - but to be honest, I am afraid that no one at the scene wanted this declaration to have any effect.
A day of realization.
A short period of contact allowed us to re-understand the Abyss Xiling. This ruler of the Abyss, who has always been considered "evil, tyrannical, and full of destructive tendencies", actually has a pure heart than anyone else. After knowing the truth about the "Great Cause"
After that, neither the New Empire nor the Protoss thought it was a wise choice to continue the war with 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 that she was not very calm at this time. I tried to make my tone calmer and more relaxed.
, said to her: "What are your plans after building the bridge?"
"Didn't I say? 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 branches and return to the main side through the long bridge... This may be a very long project. In the future
Been very 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, it seems that in the process of rebuilding the empire, there is no need to use the Order World as a sacrifice," Abyss Xiling took a deep look at 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 ourselves when necessary: although the polluter is tyrannical, it is not completely unable to control its own destruction.
Tendency. Otherwise, the external war in the Abyss Zone would not be such a trivial fight in recent years."
"What if one day your 'imperial interests' really conflict with the world of order again?" Sheila asked calmly.
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: "Okay, maybe I will come and seek it."
Your suggestions... Sandora once warned me: Many times there is more than one way to solve a problem, and some methods may not be the most 'accurate' in mathematics. But they may be the most 'appropriate' in fact. I probably want to
Learn to think about problems according to the logic of your real world. Maybe your way of thinking really makes sense."
After the void creature showed its limits and determination, this stubborn guy finally gave in for the first time: I really didn't expect that this guy's logic would have room for flexibility, and I thought her thinking process was indestructible.
"It's a thorough procedure without room for flexibility," Abyss Xiling couldn't help but argue after hearing my sigh, "I've just been adhering to the most efficient way of thinking. I will also repair myself when the situation requires it.
.Efficient does not necessarily equal appropriate.”
I grinned: Anyway, another troublesome thing has been solved.
"Now that we've finished talking about business matters, let's talk about personal matters." At this time, Father God suddenly clapped his hands, attracting the attention of others, "Chen, I want to hear about the time when you lost your memory - that time 70,000 years ago."
Accident'. Maybe it can be of some reference to me."
I immediately knew what the other person was going to say, so I quickly returned to the long table and told the story of that year and my life as a human being in full. Of course, I couldn’t remember what happened back then, so I could tell others what happened.
It can only be pieced together through ancient materials, the diary left by her sister, and Alleria's memoirs, etc., and it is basically close to ten.
"This is the specific story." I spent nearly half an hour recounting these things in general. Although I was talking about my own affairs, it still felt a bit unreal. "I really don't remember the situation at that time. And as a human being, I can't remember the situation at all.
In the past twenty years, I have not shown any abnormality at all. Even my physical examination has been at an ordinary level of health since I was a child. The school doctor did not find that there was something like a dark dragon sealed in my body... Oh, back then Sando
Ra also strengthened my body. At that time, even the empire’s technology could not detect any abnormalities in my body and soul, and I was completely a normal earthling.”
"External appearances - whether it is body or soul - have no reference meaning," Sheila reminded from the side, "because all things come from the void, so the void can appear as all things, and you are living in the state of a stone.
Twenty years is also normal. The key is after you start to wake up... At this stage, your body and soul can still appear as a mortal, but your 'essence' is already a void creature. In this process, you will lose any memory.
Haven’t recovered?”
"No," I shook my head vigorously, and I was certain of this, "let alone recovering my memory. At the beginning, I struggled for a long time on how to speak in the void state, and I fought with Bingtis.
One fight almost exhausted me to death."
"Not only have all my memories been lost, but even my instincts have been lost." Father God rubbed his chin and looked at Sheila with a solemn expression. "It was the same when I first realized that I existed. I was completely blank and had to learn from scratch. And because I didn't have any knowledge at that time.
It took me tens of thousands of years to figure out that I need a body. What is your situation?"
"Absolutely." Sheila also nodded. "What did I know when I first woke up? There was nothing around me. I was in a daze for a long time. Later I realized that it was too deserted, and then I went to look for it.
Other 'existences' besides myself... I always thought this was a normal situation for the birth of void creatures."
Father God crossed his fingers under his chin, with a thoughtful look on his face: "There is no memory, no instinct. When he wakes up from a dazed state, he does look like a normal newborn at first, but according to Chen's description, after suffering major injuries
The resurrection is also in the same state... In addition, you and I are both very ancient void creatures. When we wake up, the surroundings are in chaos. Without relatives and friends, it is impossible for anyone to remind us of the past. So even if I just '
Those who have been resurrected can also be mistaken for new lives..."
"Now," Sheila tugged on Father God's sleeve, "We have all been resurrected, I mean 'resurrected' 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, have been 'exiled back to the void state' several times, and every time we are resurrected, we will not
Problems such as memory damage and loss of instincts are just like waking up after a normal sleep. But Chen's resurrection looks much more serious. It is like a real rebirth. No matter how the void creature is born, its essence is
It's all the same. So what happened to him can also happen to us. I think this can divide resurrection into two levels: ordinary 'exile', which is what you and I have experienced over the years, and sleep
Nothing will change when you wake up. What is more serious is 'collapse'. Just like Chen, memory and instinct are completely lost. After waking up, it is as blank as a newborn. And make a bold guess: maybe the 'birth' we have always thought of is just
It's just a resurrection from a 'collapse' state. The cause of this collapse was probably the Void Cataclysm last season."
"Void creatures can also 'lose their memory'. This alone sounds novel enough." At this time, Abyss Xiling suddenly interjected, "Who could have imagined that such a thing could happen before."
I ignored her and looked at Father God: "So you think you experienced the last void cataclysm? You just lost your memory due to the impact of the cataclysm?"
"I didn't dare to think this way before, but don't you also have a 'record' of amnesia?" Father God nodded and replied, "After hearing the news from the Abyss Xiling, if we don't do anything wrong, why is there no record of the last void cataclysm on this shore?
It would be too slow to cast doubt on this matter."
Sheila touched her chin and thought about the problem with burning eyes. She didn’t know what she was thinking, and finally she spoke slowly: "Xingchen, you said that you found evidence that you had experienced the last void cataclysm, and the inference you just made
There seems to be no problem, so I'll just believe it... You may have really experienced the last disaster. But why are only the void creatures on the other side leaving messages? In other words, what are the traces you found in those 'places'?
What? Your last words in your previous life?"
Sister Sheila is also a person who speaks lightly and has a close relationship with Father God. The sand content of some of her words is almost as high as that of the female gangster Bingtis.
"It's not that exact thing," God Father said carefully. "In fact, what I found are just some 'signs', some breaths that may be left behind by myself. Those ancient places are similar to the gates of the ancient abyss and the wreckage of the world. It stands to reason that
It is said that they will be slowly swallowed up 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 while roaming in the void, I would never have been able to find them.
There is a slight breath in those cold and dead ruins, as well as the 'information' that was once created but has now disappeared. As for the specific 'last words' about the void cataclysm and the construction of the bridge, there is really no 'last words' here.
Maybe only the other side has a clear message. I don’t have any memory of the ‘last season’ now, and of course I don’t know why I didn’t leave anything behind.”
"It may have been left behind but not discovered, or it may have been smoothed by the void. It can only be said that the inheritance of 'building bridges' on the other side is good luck." Sheila didn't seem to care much about this issue, "Well, then,
When you go to the Huron God Realm this time, you can take me there to have a look, and maybe you will finally discover that I have also experienced the last catastrophe. In this way, we are a perfect match, and you can no longer refuse to have a child with me..."
"Ahem," I was about to collapse when I saw this topic. I quickly coughed twice and changed the topic. "You two have to wait until the things in front of you are settled before you go on your honeymoon. Now let's assume that Xingchen has actually experienced the above.
The cataclysm of the first season, Sister Sheila, is yet to be determined, and I am indeed the new junior of this season. After confirming this question...why does the cataclysm of the void cause amnesia?"
"There are two possibilities," Father God explained one by one with his fingers with a smile. "The first possibility is that void creatures are not 100% immune to the catastrophe. Didn't Abyss Xiling say that after the catastrophe, even void creatures and their dependents
They will lose their bodies, leaving only their consciousness floating around. It is possible that some damage occurred 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 would choke up with Father God like this.
"If it were you," Father God glanced at Sheila, "if all the world of order were destroyed, everything you had painstakingly created would disappear in the blink of an eye. Your children would collapse one after another in the long loneliness.
If you lose yourself and can't even see when the new order will appear, will you still choose to keep those memories?"
Sheila opened her mouth, and finally had a weird look on her face: "Indeed, everything erased by the catastrophe can never be recreated. If that day really comes, the memories of the past will become a meaningless burden... Maybe I will also take the initiative to choose to forget.
Right. But if the children I created still stick 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 gently: "Me too, as long as the children are here, I have no reason to give up, but if everything is gone 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 are no shadows in my heart, the newly created world will not be shrouded in shadows.”
I listened to Father God and King Huron discussing this fateful trajectory that could be described as miserable. I felt extremely weird, but at the same time I felt that what they said was reasonable: If one day, everything would return to zero, and I would be the only one left in the void.
…
Maybe I won’t choose to forget it no matter what. Sandora, Qianqian, the awkward eldest lady, my elder sister, as well as a lot of messy problem children at home and a bunch of bastards in Shadow City, even if they can be more
It's good to think about them for a while.
But as time goes by, "forgetting" will not be something that you can control. These memories will always fade and eventually disappear... Perhaps the truth is this: only when the memories of the void creatures in the previous season are completely eliminated, can it represent the void.
The end of a cycle.
When the biological memory of the void dies, a new order in the void can be born: maybe 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 immediately nodded: "The disappearance of the void creature's memory of the previous order cycle means the end of a cycle and the beginning of a new cycle.
?This is an interesting statement, but maybe it is 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 memories disappear completely will the return to zero end. This is probably the truth about Xingchen losing his memory: whether he is active or passive, in short, when he forgets everything, Void New
The era will begin. But this kind of 'forgetting' seems to have loopholes. We can transfer our memories to some relatively inconspicuous and easily ignored gadgets, such as those ancient ruins you discovered, Xingchen.
, this shows that void creatures have the ability to retain some things: although we cannot retain our own memories, we can retain other things by exploiting loopholes. The tribesmen on the other side probably found this method and passed down the story of building bridges.
...So Xingchen, you are really an idiot, why didn’t you leave something useful? And even those useless things were only discovered now.”
Father God's face suddenly darkened: "That happened in my last life. I don't know how I did it. Maybe I had a miserable life in my last life, and I didn't understand how I died until I died."
"Oh, yes, maybe you were a bastard in your previous life, or simply an idiot, and of course you might be a woman." Sister Sheila's thoughts suddenly broadened, and then she looked at the object of her unrequited love with a burning gaze, "Anyway, no matter what
We should really have a baby right away, or at least get married and start living together!"
It was the first time I saw the gentle Father God and I almost jumped up: "Why did you think of this all of a sudden!?"
"Think about it, the reason why the memory of void creatures disappears may be loneliness, and the children we created now can only be said to be dependents. After the catastrophe, they may only be able to last for a while, so the only ones who can really last for a long time are the two of us...
...Oh, we have a little brother now. To sum up, let’s get married as soon as possible, so that even if a big disaster happens, we will have a companion... Oh, my little brother can be our best man. We can try to endure it as hard as we can, maybe until we are exhausted.
I can’t help but start a new cycle in advance, and then I will work hard and create a new race..."
I:"……"
"They..." Abyss Xiling couldn't help but touch my arm at this time, "I have only heard about King Huron chasing Father God, but how can he 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 weird that she can catch up like this!"
(It’s really distressing... Why is it so troublesome to publish a physical book? What’s the problem?)
