Chapter 72 Is all the malice hidden in your heart?
Alice couldn't believe her ears.
Although she already had conclusive evidence, she still hoped from the bottom of her heart that Tiandis could deny it. Even if it was just a lie, it at least showed that she was not without guilt for what she had done. But Tiandis actually admitted it so easily
She didn't mean to defend herself at all, and even questioned her in turn. Could it be said that she felt that everything she did was just and that Alice was the one who needed to be questioned?
"how so?"
She murmured, and her clenched fists gradually loosened, not because her anger subsided, but because she was disappointed: "Do you really know what you are doing, Tiandis? I remember that you were also very annoying before.
War? Why are you doing this now? Could it be that..."
Could it be said that time can really change everything? Can even the purest and kindest heart created by Mother gradually fall away due to the loss of His guidance?
Alice looked at Tiandis quietly, the sadness in her eyes had surpassed the anger.
However, Tiandis was a little irritated by her look. She didn't want to explain anything, but just sneered slightly: "Yes, I do hate war. I hate the meaningless kind, just to satisfy some people's greed.
A war that breaks out with selfish desires. Their existence is completely unnecessary to this world, even far less than the things they have always looked down upon, such as a maggot drowning in muddy water, or a rat lingering in the sewer.
, what a despicable, shameful, and extremely vulgar display of personality."
She was extremely sarcastic, and the undisguised malice in her words made Alice tighten her lips and ask sternly: "Since you hate meaningless wars, why do you want to cause wars? Don't you think you are contradicting yourself?
Are you done, Tiantis?"
"This is not a contradiction, Alice." Tiandis glanced at her: "The answer is very simple, that is, every war I provoke is meaningful."
absurd!
ridiculous!
Alice's suppressed anger couldn't help but rekindled. She spoke angrily, wanting to accuse Tiandis of saying such irresponsible words. However, before she could speak out, the other party used a
The cold eyes restrained: "Don't rush to question it, Alice. If you don't think about it, it will only make you look impulsive, and it has no use other than that. If you don't understand why I want to do this, I can
Let me give you a simple explanation. First of all, tell me, what are my responsibilities and mission?"
"..." Alice grinded her teeth and her chest heaved violently several times. She still felt that Tiandis was perfunctory with her, otherwise how could she ask such an obvious question? She simply turned her head to the side and refused to pay attention to her.
Tiandis didn't care, she just raised her head and cast her gaze towards the heaven floating in the air. After a moment of silence, the silver-haired girl lowered her eyelids slightly, and spoke in a clear but cold voice: "The guardian and arbiter of the world, the queen of reality, Tiandis.
Si, whose main responsibility is to maintain the magic power circulation system set up by the goddess to ensure that the magic power concentration of the entire world is in a balanced state and that everything operates in an orderly manner."
The corner of Tiandis's mouth twitched: "So, is the total amount of magic power infinite?"
"No." The essence of magic power is the spirituality of the goddess, but the goddess cannot disperse all the spirituality. She must retain part of the spirituality to maintain her own existence, maintain the existence of the Temple of Heaven, and maintain the stability of the basic laws of the universe.
, therefore, the magic power gifted to the continent of Eden only occupies a small part of it.
"So, can magic power be generated spontaneously and lost for no reason?"
"No." Only the goddess is the master of magic power. Others are just users of magic power. They can neither create magic power nor erase magic power. They can only transfer magic power between one individual and another.
, this transfer is the core of the magic power cycle system set up by the goddess. Just like fallen leaves turn into nutrients after returning to their roots, and flesh and blood nourish vegetation after decay, magic power circulates endlessly through this natural behavior, even if the overall quantity is limited
, will never be exhausted.
However, does a perfect cyclic system really exist? Can the magic created by the goddess using the settings in the earth's fantasy works really lead the world to a better future?
After answering the above three questions, Tianjie suddenly understood Tiandis's thoughts.
Unfortunately, Alice doesn't understand yet.
Tiandis looked at Alice who was still sulking, sighed in her heart, and tried to say in a calm tone: "So, this is the biggest reason, Alice. Magic power is limited, and on the continent of Eden,
Life has always been multiplying, and today, the total number of lives has far exceeded the upper limit it can carry. For this reason, a part of life must be consumed to maintain the normal operation of the magic circulation system. Do you understand the significance of this?"
Consume life?
Alice was unwilling to accept this cold statement, as if she regarded every living life as a weight on the scale, and their weight could be measured based on the scale. However, everyone knew very well that the gestation, birth, and reproduction of a life
Death and death are never such simple concepts. They are Mother's most proud works and favorite creations, especially the continent under her feet. Could it be that she could regard the souls carved by Mother's hands as firewood or straw?
, throw it into the fire and burn it up?
"It shouldn't be like this."
Her face was gloomy, like a cloudy day about to rain: "You're lying to me, Tiandis. The magic circulation system set up by Mother is perfect and there can be no loopholes. Even if the creatures will continue to multiply and grow, they are also
Withering and death, therefore, the total number of life and death should be maintained in a balanced state so as not to affect the magic power circulation system."
This chapter is not over yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading! "Really?" Tiandis said noncommittally: "You are the leader and agent of civilization. You have been in contact with mortal civilization for longer than me. So from your perspective?
Look, are the number of mortals increasing, decreasing, or neither increasing nor decreasing?"
Alice choked and was speechless for a moment. Tiandis looked at her with an intriguing look: "When Mother left Eden, the footprints of mortal civilization were less than one-tenth of this continent.
Although their wars were frequent at that time, their scale was very limited and could be easily resolved through mediation; however, today is different from the past. In addition to completely barren deserts, wastelands, ocean abyss and islands, what else is there on the current Eden continent?
Is there no mortal footprints in the place?"
"All of this is because Mother did not consider the side effects of magic when she set up the magic circulation system, that is, it makes the meaning of life of all living beings unequal." Tiandis did not consider the side effects of magic.
She does not shy away from discussing the goddess's faults, because similar thoughts had been brewing in her mind before the goddess left Eden: "Life and death should be the most equal things in the world. An ant's
Death can lead to the birth of a human being; or the death of a dragon can lead to the birth of a stone. For this world, the value of their existence is essentially the same, both to maintain the stability of the legal structure. But some
People don't seem to think so. If you say to a human being that you were born because of the death of this ant, you should be grateful; or if you say to a giant dragon that you should welcome your own death calmly and let the world have more people.
If you use a few pebbles to make up the earth, hills and mountains, then their first reaction is not to approve, but to laugh at your wishful thinking."
"Life should be unequal. This is their consistent understanding. It is not even inequality in race, wealth and class, but the most basic meaning of existence, inequality in strength and lifespan."
When the goddess created each race, she may have considered the balance of the magic circulation system, so she did not give them excessive treatment. This can be reflected in the issue of lifespan. Those with short lifespans, such as humans and elves, have a one-hundred-year period;
Those who live as long as dragons and goblins are no more than two hundred years old. The sun rises and the moon sets.
Everything is subject to certain restrictions, but magic can break this restriction to a limited extent. Why? Because the reason why living beings have lifespan limitations is simply that they are bound by the concepts of life and death, but the contact with magic makes them
They have the opportunity to touch the power of laws and concepts as mortals. Maybe they are exposed to only a small part of them, incomplete concepts, but it is enough for them to benefit from it and extend their lifespan.
"Let me ask you, Alice." Tiandis suddenly said: "Now, among the mortal races in Eden, who is the strongest and the one with the longest lifespan?"
"...It should be Nigflame, right?" Alice replied hesitantly: "I heard that he is the only ancient dragon on the continent, the ancestor dragon king Nighor who listened to his mother's divine prophecy in the Temple of Heaven.
Virtue is his grandfather."
A giant dragon with a lifespan of five hundred is an ancient dragon; a dragon with a lifespan of one thousand is an ancient dragon; a dragon with a lifespan of two thousand is an ancient dragon; a dragon with a lifespan of five thousand is an ancient dragon; and the dragon king Nigflaim, who calls himself the dragon god of the virtual world, has died
Ten thousand long springs, summers, autumns and winters have passed, so he is respected by all the tribesmen as the Ancient Dragon.
He is also the strongest among the mortal races, and is known as the Sage of Truth among humans, the King of the Sea of the Mirror Elves, the Saint King of the Sky of the Feather Elves, and the Ancient Giant King of the Giant Clan... Tiantis was the one who impressed the most.
Unfortunately, a thousand years after my mother passed away, they all began to be rebellious and claimed to be gods.
When Tiandis first heard about it, he just thought it was ridiculous.
Have you ever heard of a god who dares to claim to be the supreme god just because of his full power? Have they learned even one ten thousandth of the virtues of Mother, such as kindness, tolerance, perseverance, kindness, holiness, nobility, selflessness and justice?
It was just because Alice had a good relationship with them that she didn't bother to say anything.
Now it seems that letting Alice associate with those arrogant false gods was actually the biggest mistake she made.
"Let me tell you, Alice." Her eyes were cold: "Mortals who want to use magic to become the strongest are actually just the biggest moths. They absorb the nutrients from this towering tree to strengthen themselves, but they do not
The world is useless. Each of these guys who call themselves gods plunders enough magic power to support the souls of ten million mortal creatures. But they can only get in and out, just like moths unwilling to absorb themselves.
It's like returning nutrients to the big tree. A large amount of magic power has been plundered by them. If the excess amount is not consumed, the magic power circulation system will be unsustainable. You are not responsible for this, so it is normal not to understand, but I am telling you now
I’ve explained it clearly, do you have any other comments?”
"..."
Alice couldn't help but remain silent. She murmured her lips a few times, and it took her a long time to squeeze out a sentence: "Even so, there is no need to use war, right?"
"There are many ways to avoid war, such as plague, famine, natural disasters, etc. Which one do you want to choose?" Seeing that Alice was startled by his words, Tiandis sneered: "Besides, I didn't cause the war.
. I just found your friends and told them bluntly that the balance of magic in Eden is collapsing. I don’t care what approach you take, at least within a hundred years, the situation cannot continue to deteriorate, otherwise, I will not
Will they take into account Mother's order forbidding us to take action without permission, and if the young queen takes action personally, which one of them, which country or which race can bear the consequences?"
"They all agreed with me and said they would try their best to help me maintain the balance of the magic circulation system. So not long after, the war broke out. Do you think I caused the war or they caused the war?
Alice?" At this point, Tiandis couldn't help but outline a playful arc: "Or you can ask your friends and ask them if they are willing to sacrifice themselves to achieve the future of their people and believers. As long as you ask them.
They are willing to liberate the magic power they have plundered. I can guarantee that there will be no problems in the magic power circulation system in the next two thousand years. They exchange one person's life for the stability of their people and believers for two thousand years. Since they claim to be gods, could it be that they
Don’t you have such an awareness?”
"What a pity," Tiandis couldn't help but sneered: "I'm afraid even if they heard this, they would just pretend not to hear it, right?"
Alice's momentum suddenly weakened a lot. She was only responsible for guiding the development of human civilization and had no idea about the current situation of the magic circulation system. But Tiandis could not lie to her, and according to what she heard when she was active in the human world,
According to the news, in recent years, the phenomenon of magic pollution in the Eden continent has indeed become more and more serious. However, wars occur frequently and people rarely pay attention to it.
Could it be that this is also their purpose? On the one hand, they use the war to consume the excess population and fulfill Tiandis's requirements. On the other hand, they also cover up the increasingly serious phenomenon of magic pollution, so that everyone ignores this aspect. If you know,
It is precisely because the gods they believe in are so demanding that their living environment is getting worse and worse. Even the most devout believers will question the meaning of God's existence, right?
Alice was startled by her own thoughts. She shook her head repeatedly, not wanting to think too badly of her friends. Tiandis glanced at her and roughly guessed what she was thinking at the moment, and said quietly:
"But don't think too highly of them, Alice."
"In the myths and legends of the earth, there are still hells, Hades or six reincarnations to accommodate the malice and corruption of mortals."
"However, as the Creator God, Mother has never thought of creating this kind of place as a negative reflection of the continent of Eden."
"In that case, where is the malice that mortals have nowhere to hide now?"
