Faced with sudden bad news, people's reactions are usually inconsistent. Sometimes, like Metien, they are suddenly overwhelmed by great sadness after a very short period of calmness; sometimes they are too shocked and don't know how to deal with it, so
Standing there in a daze, looking like he is in a daze; but sometimes he instinctively questions, asks repeatedly, and denies the guesses in his heart over and over again, even if there are early signs of an ominous premonition.
These are all normal reactions, which are enough to show that people have different attitudes towards emergencies at different times, places and occasions. Although more or less, we can get a glimpse of their personalities: seemingly strong but fragile
, those who seem cheerful but stubborn, those who seem casual but silent... are all shown one by one.
Only Ringer looked inside and was surprised to find that he really didn't seem to have any extra emotions. He was calm and even cold, with no doubts, no impulses, not even sadness. He just wanted to get the answer. Why is this? Even though
Before he decided to set foot on the Star Sea, he had already made various inferences about the goddess's condition based on the existing information, not to mention taking into account the extreme situation that the goddess had died. It should be said that he was the best among everyone.
Are you the most mentally prepared person for this news?
But he is still a believer of the goddess after all. If he had listened carefully to every motto of love and compassion in the "Canon" under her statue, how could he be indifferent to this news at this moment, without even a trace of unnecessary emotion?
No?
Or is it that the teachings of Mr. Yang Ke, his adoptive father, and the faith gradually formed through daily prayers did not leave a deep impression on the young people?
In any case, he was finally certain that he and Metien were actually different.
"Linger is right!"
Alice took a step forward, clenched her fists and shouted: "These are just your words. If you want us to believe it, come up with evidence! You said that the goddess has died, then what happened to her?"
Death, if you don’t explain all this clearly, do you think I will believe your lies?"
Awakening the goddess is the most important main mission of this game. It took a lot of effort for me to get here. How could I be easily convinced by you with just one or two words?
She didn't want to admit that when she heard the news, she actually felt a pinch in her heart, a stinging feeling, so as if to hide something, she stared angrily at the silver-haired girl in the sky, as if the other party didn't explain clearly.
It's like she will never give up.
Themis of Heaven frowned slightly. Before she could answer, Tiandis on the other side of the screen had already sneered, with a hint of cruelty and irony in her laughter: "How did you die? You can ask.
This question is really ridiculous, Miss Alice. What if I told you that Mother was killed by those mortals you always wanted to protect?"
As soon as these words came out, not only Alice was startled and opened her mouth but didn't know what to say, even Saint Xalia, who was comforting Medien, couldn't help but raise her head and look at the sky on the other side of the screen.
Thies said word for word with utmost seriousness: "This is impossible."
This argument is obviously more unconvincing. Regardless of whether the news of the goddess's death is true or not, in conclusion, the goddess who created the world actually died at the hands of a mortal? How could such a ridiculous thing happen?
"You don't believe it?"
Tiandis looked at Saint Xalia intently. After a while, his eyes moved away and fell on the others one after another. He asked again: "You don't believe it either?"
No one answered, only a pair of questioning or cold eyes looked at her, but the silence itself showed an attitude. I am afraid that not only did they not believe that the goddess died because of a mortal, but even the goddess had died.
I am still struggling with this matter in my heart.
The reason why they were not completely suspicious was that the reactions of Linge and Shengxialia were too calm. It seemed that from the beginning to the end, they knew that they would hear such words, and they might even have foreseen the scene of the conversation at this time.
People with sensitive personalities may have noticed that since entering the ruins of the Temple of Heaven, both these two people and Alice have behaved very differently, and the signs actually appeared earlier. On this journey to the stars,
It seemed that an uneasy atmosphere had been shrouded in it from the beginning, but the people in the Osol mountains had not noticed it yet.
"An unexpected reaction." Tiandis retracted his gaze, sighed imperceptibly, turned to Themis of Heaven, who had been silent, and said: "Since they want to see the evidence, let them see it.
.As the administrator of the Celestial Temple and the real king of Tiandis, I apply to disclose all the confidential documents of X01-X099. Is it okay, Themis of the Celestial Realm?"
"The judgment is: reasonable." The silver-haired girl asked expressionlessly: "Do you want to apply for the avoidance of irrelevant persons?"
The irrelevant people she refers to should be people outside the young queen's authority.
"It doesn't matter, just let them stay and listen." Tiandis said softly: "Since this matter is related to mortals, there must be mortals as witnesses. If they are just talking to themselves, they will not believe it.
?"
The countess and others couldn't help but feel nervous after hearing this. They didn't expect that they had somehow become the representatives of all the mortal races on the mirror planet. They were about to witness the oldest secrets from the origin of the universe here. It sounded like a huge undertaking.
It's an honor. But for the current situation, it's hard to say whether this is an honor or a pressure.
"The order has been passed, and now we will begin to unseal the confidential file code-named X01. The file code-name is: Genesis."
Themis of Heaven stretched out her right hand, and the huge steel gauntlet still fired several laser beams as before, shuttled and outlined in the void, and quickly formed another hexagonal screen. Everyone on the ground raised their heads to look at the new screen.
, I already have some guesses about the document that is about to be unsealed. Since it is codenamed Genesis, then it must be the mythical story mentioned in the prologue of the "Canon" about the goddess who created the world in seven days, right?
Does the so-called truth need to be traced back to such a distant era?
Metien raised his head from Saint Xalia's arms. The tears on his face had not dried up, and the corners of his eyes were a little red and swollen from crying, which interfered with the girl's sight. But she still stared at the screen stubbornly, because she wanted to use her
The things I witnessed with my own eyes can refute the one-sided words of those two people. In any case, it is impossible for the goddess to die, let alone fall into the hands of mortals.
At this time, the screen was pitch black, but that darkness was not in a visual sense, but more like a concept close to nothingness. Because nothing existed, it seemed deep and empty. This scene made the two brothers and sisters, who are believers of the goddess,
Invariably, they remembered a sentence in the preface of the "Canon" and read it out softly, just like they prayed under the statue of the God in Tianxin Church every seven days of the week -
"In the beginning, the world was nothingness. In the ocean of nothingness, not even the concepts of chaos and order existed. The meanings of time and space were confused, the past was the present, and eternity was a moment, until countless
After the years passed, a vast and sacred will opened its eyes in the center of the ocean."
That is the goddess.
As the brother and sister's slightly murmuring prayers fell, a beam of light lit up from the depths of nothingness. Everyone was attracted by Him and stared at the beam of light involuntarily, even those who had already viewed this file.
Themis and Tiantis in the heavens many times were no exception. The former pursed her lips imperceptibly, while a gloomy look flashed in the latter's eyes, as well as a deeply hidden guilt.
That beam of light does not have a specific image, but is closer to an abstract concept. He is the only life that gave birth to consciousness in the ancient nothingness. Therefore, all concepts of the existence of subjective consciousness based on life are all made by him.
The definition of. When Metien looks at that beam of light, she will feel an unprecedented warmth and brightness, as if she has returned to her mother's arms and the amniotic fluid where all things were originally conceived. That is the concept of light; when Ringer
When looking at that beam of light, he felt a deep calmness and distant gaze, like facing a stern yet generous father. That was the concept of time; for Countess Neville
, that beam of light is a power older than the night, containing everything in His fraternal bosom; for the traveler goblin, that beam of light is a footprint longer than the wind and the road, measuring the boundless universe.
…
Broadly speaking, all material and non-material phenomena that the mortal race on the Mirror Star can feel, from senses, intuition, wisdom and spirituality, to light, darkness, time and space, are all due to this light.
In fact, what they have is not their own feelings, but the feelings of the goddess when she was born. Because all mortals are the descendants of the goddess, they also inherit this objective perception based on subjective consciousness, which has nothing to do with blood and culture.
The inheritance is even closer.
However, for the young queen, there are not as complex emotions as others. What they feel from that beam of light is just a feeling of familiarity and peace of mind, which is warmer than light, more majestic than darkness, and gentle.
Tolerance and selfless giving seem to be close at hand and within reach.
"This feeling is..."
Xino gently pressed her hand on her chest, feeling the beating frequency of her heart under the flesh and blood. She couldn't help but be surprised and speechless. She looked around and found that she was not the only one who felt this way, but the girl knight was certain that everyone present
Among the girls in the royal family, she was the only one who felt the deepest feeling. That was because she had lived in a far more complicated family environment than others since she was a child. Her grandfather, who shouldered family responsibilities but was unable to fulfill them, tried to escape but ended up taking the initiative to go to war for his daughter.
Her father, and her mother, who longed for freedom but loved her family more deeply, and still whispered to Xino "don't hate him" before she died.
In that short and unforgettable memory, different people entered her world for the same reason, and finally left her. Family, bloodline, expectations and responsibilities, after experiencing so many complicated pasts, the young woman
Faced with the throbbing in her heart, the young girl knight could finally tell herself clearly that this feeling was called——
Family affection.
Just like a child's admiration for relatives, Xino was reminded of his distant childhood because of that beam of light. Olvera was able to trace back to the scene when she was a child admiring the blooming violets with her parents in the garden, and Ieta's thoughts gradually began to change.
Flying back to the Avignon village full of warmth and laughter; Lorena's ears seemed to hear the warnings of her mother and sister again, and Leticia cuddled up to her grandma's side, unable to forget herself.
Resurrected from death again, opening her eyes to see her worried face; Gloria, who theoretically had no relatives, lowered her head, gently lowered the brim of her hat, and spoke silently between her lips.
What.
Even Alice said nothing, just stared quietly at the beam of light on the screen, thinking about something, which was completely opposite to her usual noisy temperament.
It was only at this moment that these young queens who had lost their memory could finally understand what the mother that Saint Xalia had always talked about meant. The goddess who created them undoubtedly loved her deeply.
Daughter, otherwise, when they see that beam of light, what they recall in their minds won’t be all good memories, right?
"Now we will begin to interpret the documents. Please do not do anything unnecessary other than asking questions." The cold voice of Themis from Heaven brought the girls' thoughts back, making them realize that now is not the time to be immersed in memories of the past.
, there are more important things to witness.
"Genesis archive records, stage zero: In an era that is no longer verifiable, the goddess was born in nothingness. Her appearance brought conceptual changes to the universe, gradually taking shape. The original nothingness split and derived
There are two states of order and chaos. And between the cracks of order and chaos, along with the birth of the goddess, is also her divine domain, the Temple of Heaven."
The picture on the screen began to change, and there was an obvious division between light and darkness, but it was still in a state of ignorance. At this time, there were concepts such as order and chaos in the universe, space, time, and chaos, but there was only one consciousness that could observe these concepts. Then
She is the goddess. At the same time, the picture in the center of the screen gradually formed an empty area, where no concept could invade, as if it was isolated from the entire universe.
That's what Themis of Heaven said, the Temple of Heaven.
but.
"Is it different from the current Heavenly Temple?"
Everyone was surprised, but felt that this was a very reasonable thing. At the beginning of the universe, the beginning of concept creation, things were still gestating in ignorance. Even the goddess did not know what kind of world she would create.
Therefore, I am afraid that he relied on instinct to shape this divine realm, and the first thing he saw after his birth was nothing but nothingness.
Was the Temple of Heaven a realm of nothingness from the beginning? Then how did it evolve into what it is today?
With such doubts, everyone continued to look at it and saw that in the picture, the beam of light symbolizing the goddess was wandering uncertainly inside their own divine domain, seeming to be looking for something. This search must have taken a long time, because
The picture on the screen has been sped up by Themis in the heavens countless times. If you want to watch the process completely, even if you add up the lifespan of all life on the mirror star, it will not be enough.
Only the goddess who was new to life and was not yet sensitive to the passage of time could endure such a boring and long search. In other words, at that time, she did not even know what boring experience was like. Thinking of this, everyone
Suddenly, I felt that the goddess was too lonely. Could this be her original intention in creating the world and mortals?
Suddenly, the beam of light in the picture stopped moving, but that was not because He gave up searching, but because He finally found it, because even though they were separated by the screen and countless layers of distant time and space, everyone could still feel that.
How happy and excited the goddess was at that time.
The emotion of joy was born as a result, and was later engraved in the souls of mortals, allowing them to feel the same mood as the goddess.
The voice of Themis from heaven came at the right time, explaining to everyone what was happening on the screen: "As the pioneer of the universe and the creator of the concept of all things, in theory, the goddess has control over the entire universe. However, in the long-term
During the development process, the goddess has already discovered that there is actually a singular point in this universe that she cannot control, which seems to have appeared with her birth. She is very interested in this singular point that is out of her control.
And he spent thousands of years searching for it, and finally fixed the unstable singularity in his own divine domain, and he called it——"
