"...that silly smiling cat on the stage, let me challenge you..."
When "Safe Road" shouted these words to the big cat above, an invisible chain was formed between the two creatures.
[Rule 1: In the cycle of life, all lives have the right to compete. Any life can propose the right to "life competition" to another life. In this process, a third party cannot interfere.]
From this moment on, "Safe Road" and "Kerdales" have become competitors in the evolution of life, and only one is destined to survive.
"Um, can't you choose the big cat..."
But "Ping An Lu" himself was unable to observe this light.
All he knew was that the words he spoke silenced the entire arena, and there was no response for a long time.
And the real Lu Ping'an also fell silent, which was a little different from what was expected. It seemed that his "past self" was not controlled?
"It's exactly the same as before..." Xia Qin's murmur revealed the true feelings of Lu Ping'an.
The scene in front of him was like a replay of memory. The patient who could collapse at any time challenged the gods without fear.
He was a little helpless. If he really couldn't choose, "Ping An Lu" would feel a little troubled and embarrassed.
Finally, the big cat on the stage confirmed that he was being challenged... humiliated and despised by a mortal!
"No, no, no, yes, to be precise, I'm glad you can choose me, let's put on a wonderful show for my mother...Pfft, I'm sorry, I've been trained, usually I don't
You’ll laugh out loud.”
"Kirdares", who spoke in an exclamatory tone along the way, finally couldn't help but burst into laughter.
As the master of this land of life, she still has some privileges. She can easily see through the other party's "life", and she also knows how weak the human beings in front of her are, and she also knows that the other party's chips are really pitiful.
"boom!"
The giant beast jumped down from the platform, and the entire Colosseum trembled.
The snow-white and holy limbs are vaguely covered with floating clouds. The holy beast even refuses to come into contact with the dirty ground. The gentle and compassionate tiger head is full of compassion, but the three-tailed snake head spits out snake messages greedily.
Although everything here is a sacrifice to the mother and a fuel for oneself to reach a higher level, a mother who has a little taste of mortal vitality and loves each of her children equally will not have any objections.
"...God, you're so tall."
"Lu Ping'an" raised his head, not even close to his knees, and really got closer, only to become more and more sure that this was not a monster that mortals could deal with.
"Regret? It's too late, but the kind mother loves every child equally, so as her follower and her believer, I will give you a chance to pray to her. You, poor
My child, how many years are you willing to dedicate in exchange for strength? Ten years? Five years? You have agreed in advance that if your life span exceeds your upper limit, your life will be taken away in an instant. A mother loves her child, but hates it the most when her child deceives her...
."
[Rule 2: All lives are qualified to survive. Performers in the life competition can use their limited mortal lives as gifts to the Mother Goddess in exchange for unlimited power. This is the kindness of the mother, and it is also the kindness of the weak.
The only chance.]
"Kerdales" lowered her head and looked down at the little guy.
She did not slap this ignorant mortal to death.
She kindly informed her opponent of the rules of this world? Informed her of the possibility of a comeback? No, she was just toying with her prey, she was enjoying the struggles of mortals.
No matter if it is ten years, twenty years or even fifty years, the result is no different. She just wants to see the mortals in front of her who don't know the heights of the world, and the troubles of perishing amid hesitation, fear, and uneasiness.
She lowered her head, wanting to see this blasphemous boy drain her life force through repeated deliberation.
"all."
"Uh...what did you say?"
"I'm telling you everything, mother, if you can really fulfill my wish, take away the rest of my life."
"Ping An Lu" shrugged, with a calm expression on his face, as if it was not his own life that he was sacrificing everything for.
In the arena, a giant beast and a mortal made a choice.
"...It's exactly the same as before, safe road, what did you think at the time?"
As the only audience here, the only one who witnessed it twice at the same time, Xia Qin felt a little nostalgic.
"Whether you believe it or not, I didn't think about anything at the time... Well, I thought about the pension. If you died with honor in front of the official secret keeper, you should have a pension and compensation. To be honest, your uniforms,
It made me determined."
Lu Pingan touched his chin, feeling nostalgic.
To be honest, looking back, only I, who didn't understand anything at the time, could have made this "demented" decision.
Even if the previous victims are evidence, no matter how many years they have been sacrificed, there is no way that they can be Kerdales's opponent, but this time they show off everything, even if they gain strength, they will die suddenly the next moment. This is not
Is it just a free gift? Is such a sacrifice still meaningful?
"Boom!"
There was a loud noise, but the holy giant beast subconsciously retreated, and the earth trembled violently.
Under the eyes of everyone, the first one to waver was Him who was considered impossible to defeat.
So? There is hope?!
[Rule 3: Mother’s love is equal, no one is destined to be the only one to reach the top...]
"Dedicate everything from the beginning... This is the way to break the situation. What is dedicated is not the life span itself. The human life span is meaningless to the great existence. What is important is the act of dedication itself, which is the child
A gift to the mother! This is the love a child has for his mother.”
The survivors' review afterwards has no practical significance, but it is necessary.
"For 'mother', the value of the gift itself is not important, the sincerity of the child is the most important! The bag bought with the monthly salary of the first month of work is worth thousands of gold. The percentage, the percentage of dedication is the most important."
Yes, the Mother Goddess is loving, so theoretically there will be no absolute winner in any life contest... But this is still just a theory, a theory that will never be realized.
But in fact, there is an extremely vicious trap here.
As mentioned before, after any life hunts another life and takes away the other's "remaining vitality", his body will be overloaded and his original "all vitality" will be lost.
Even if it only loses 0.00001%, it is destined to not be 100%, and it will not be able to achieve perfect dedication.
The third hidden rule actually contains "Any life can gain the possibility of victory as long as it devotes everything to itself."
This is where Kerdaleth's cunning lies. In theory, there must be a "headwind rule" in the ascension ceremony, but in fact, once the secret realm expands to a certain extent, no "complete life holder" will encounter her at all.
, let alone making sacrifices... Even if it does appear, she will have countless ways to avoid it and countless shields. Just give her time to develop and complete the stage.
"boom!"
Kerdales's wavering gave "Safe Road" hope.
"Huh? Why am I not dead yet?"
The young man's exclamation of "exaggerated acting skills" may have been the irony of a wise man in the eyes of onlookers.
But in the eyes of Kerdales at this moment, there was naked ridicule and threat.
"...Since she is a mother and since she loves every child, she will naturally not let the uncontrollable one-sidedness appear. Then doesn't the 'performance' itself become the bullying of the younger brothers by the elder brother? So, in
Under mother's rules, the weak also have the possibility of victory..."
"...Since she is a mother, and since she expects every child to show the value of his life, naturally he will not take away his life before he shines. He still has one strike, and only one strike."
..."
The real Lu Ping'an, as an audience member, is actually someone who truly understands the Mother Goddess Religion and the Mother Goddess... There are still some things that are just conjectures, and he did not say anything about them.
Even if ordinary professionals sacrifice all their lives, they can only get "the power to win". In the end, it still depends on the fighting skills and combat experience of both parties... In this aspect, Big Cat is crushing.
Big Cat is confident that he can dodge or withstand the fatal blow when faced with the "complete sacrifice" challenge from any professional.
And as long as the ritual reaches a certain level, she and the Mother Tree of Life begin to merge in a substantial sense, and any challenge will become meaningless.
But the path for a patient is different from that of a mortal. According to the rules, he must be given the possibility of victory!
Since it is impossible to bless his combat experience and skills, then give him more power as a compensation... As long as he hits, he can reverse all the power!
The power of rules was forcibly activated, and the law of "balance" limited the great god who formulated it.
At that moment, the Mother Tree of Life dimmed in an instant, too much power was extracted... The same power was extracted from the big cat with a shocked face. As the host of the ceremony, she was the Mother Tree of Life.
source.
[...No one is destined to be the only one to reach the summit...]
The "gods" who had tried their best to play with the rules finally encountered the backlash of fate.
The headwind player on the field, "Lu Ping'an", has gained strength. He still has the strength and opportunity to strike.
Under normal circumstances, this is still meaningless... As long as the opponent is a little further away, what's the use of that blow.
The three snake tails of the giant beast were trembling crazily. From his perspective, all this was a calculation.
He really didn't expect that there would be someone who could see through everything so easily. A small human being could actually understand the greatness and love of his mother better than he could...and be willing to sacrifice everything for a possibility!
"Crazy, you're crazy! You crazy! It's just a possibility, and you're risking your whole life!"
In order to "balance both sides", too much power was extracted, and the big cat...Kerdales fell into the mortal world, unable to move at that moment.
Lu Ping'an, who was surrounded by light, smiled as calmly as if he was not the one who was about to die.
"I don't seem to have any other choice... Is it worth exchanging one for one? Isn't it?"
The gods who play with their prey are too close to mortals, too close, so close...
"Snapped."
Raising his hand, the boy flicked his middle finger and gently tapped the giant beast's forehead.
The slow speed and gentle movements are like playing with relatives and friends, or the intimate interaction between lovers.
"boom!"
Blood splashed, and the sacred beast lost its head.
"...No one is destined to be the only one to reach the summit..." Lu Ping'an, as an audience member, murmured this secret realm... no, the only iron law of the entire world.
History has repeated itself, destiny has been resolved, and everything should have ended here.
But obviously, the sophists paid such a high price not just to watch a movie.
His back-up plan was activated only after the death of the god.
"...Hey, didn't I sacrifice my life? Why am I still alive..." History, at this moment, entered a false script, a big lie constructed by charlatans.
