Carrying the sword and walking all the way, Cohen encountered no other obstacles.
The pseudo-gods and demon brothers who were still struggling to support themselves, and the returner elders who were kneeling on the ground were unable to enter his field of vision at this time. At Cohen's leisurely pace, the mother goddess who was indulged in inexplicable thoughts was startled, so
Lift your eyes and look over.
Every time he appeared in front of her, Cohen would change a lot, but what remained unchanged was his temperament from the inside out. Even if he wrapped his cloak casually around his body like now and wore bare feet without any decorative items, he was still the one who looked down upon him.
The Cohen of many things is the Cohen who she cannot guess.
Cohen was also looking at her. Her robe was fluttering and her long hair was flying. The mother goddess under the judgment of all the laws of the world had a kind of mesmerizing beauty at this moment.
"Good day," Cohen said with a slight smile, "Mother Goddess."
This is the first time that two completely different creatures have reached an agreement in expression and tone. There is no superiority or inferiority to each other, no age or age, or even a difference in stance. Equality or balance in this extreme environment
, the taste of which can only be understood by the parties involved, which also caused everyone to be momentarily confused and surprised.
But then it becomes cold.
Under the extremely dazzling red light in the sky, the only thing that has changed between the two is the aura of the mother goddess. The soft life energy diffuses from her injured body, ripples out and turns into strange flowers and plants all over the ground, and finally in the thirty arms
Encountered by the red light outside, they all withered, yellowed and withered, and even the fallen leaves were decomposed one by one.
The seven little flowers on her crown of green leaves have withered halfway, and may not be long before they wither completely.
"How did things end up like this?" There was a hint of worry on Cohen's face, "Of course it's because of me, but it's not what I wanted."
"I already understand what you want, but now even if I am willing to give it, I can't promise you anything." The Mother Goddess answered him calmly, "As for me, or at the moment of my birth, my destiny has been forged.
I just thought about it, even if I kept the memory of being judged and tried it again, I would still make the same choice."
"You are much more open-minded than me." Cohen sighed and asked, "But don't you regret it?"
"I don't regret my choice, but I regret some details that I didn't consider." The mother goddess spoke softly, without any trace of despair or pity. "If I really have a heart, then of course I can't give it up."
His judgment was so pertinent and fair that even I began to hate myself after hearing it, but I still couldn’t change it. Does this count as stubbornness?”
"It's not easy to live, and it's hard to find answers to some things." Cohen shook his head, "Don't you have any objections to the trial?"
"No, if this blood is indeed shed because of me, then please take from me what you think is a reasonable price, or impose a deserved punishment." The Mother Goddess didn't look pretentious at all, as if she was telling something that had nothing to do with her.
thing, "That makes sense."
"I don't think I'm qualified to take anything from you, let alone impose punishment on you." Cohen took a step closer and said seriously, "I can't say that these things have nothing to do with you, but I have to keep everything on your head.
Inappropriate. Putting aside the previous alliances and antagonisms, I always think you are a kind person."
"Human?" Mother Goddess was stunned, "Do you think I am a human?"
"Although I call you Mother Goddess, it's just a name. I think you are the same person as me." Cohen pointed at the Mother Goddess and himself, and then explained, "People are equal and there is no natural hostility.
relationship, there is the possibility and necessity of communication.”
"Are you denouncing my attitude towards you? Please understand that it was difficult for me to get to know you from a different angle at that time."
"You have some misunderstandings. I agree that you are a human being. This statement has nothing to do with strength or origin. It is just a conscious recognition." Cohen shook his head. "First of all, we must be human beings to understand and communicate with each other. Finally,
Only then can we be friends and partners. If our relationship falls into the latter category, many problems will not arise, and even if they arise, they can be solved."
"Friend?" A trace of confusion flashed in the eyes of the Mother Goddess, "I don't understand. Cohen, you opposed me when I was closest to success, and when I was about to be judged... why did you do this? You paid so much.
What’s the point of the price?”
"As I said just now, I just came to see my wife and companions, and to thank you for your tolerance of them. If this kind of greeting can be misunderstood - it is not my business at all, I don't care.
Go to hell." Cohen didn't even move his brows. "By now, you already know what I want, but you obviously still don't know my criteria for choosing my enemies."
"Criteria for selecting enemies?" The Mother Goddess seemed to have heard something funny, "I am willing to listen to you."
"To be precise, I didn't choose the enemy, but the enemy chose me." Even though he knew that a third party was listening, Cohen's words were not subtle at all, "No matter who it is, as long as he reaches his hand into the human world, he will
has become my enemy."
"You mean, anyone who poses a threat to humanity is your enemy?"
"You can't say that, because there are too many existences that are stronger than humans and can threaten humans. I can't fight them all. Besides, I am not the nanny of humans. I want to conquer the world for them." Cohen shook his head, "Only those
Those who have thoughts and actions towards human beings, and those beings that humans are currently unable to defeat, are the targets of my attack."
"You're still talking about me." The Mother Goddess smiled, but there was a hint of pain in her smile, "Cohen, you don't need to be tactful when you speak to me."
"Because this can be regarded as your doubt! You had this idea before and acted on it, that's why I opposed you, but now you have no intention and no ability, so we are no longer opponents. Even if we can't do it in the end
Friends, we should not continue to be hostile."
"From a certain point of view, I am taking care of humans, because they are still very weak." Cohen also smiled, and he smiled heartily, "But I will not care for them in your way, and I can't decide their fate."
birth, I cannot determine their end either. Mother Goddess, I must tell you bluntly, trying to determine everything about your offspring, including life and death, is the crux of your problem. Those colorful crimes are all based on this basis.
of."
"I am the Mother Goddess. I'm sorry. Although it is one of my sins, I still like this title very much." The Mother Goddess's mood seemed to be better. "I have such a title, how can I let go of my children? Seeing them suffer
Pain?"
"The simplest way is to close your eyes and not look. The most advanced way is to turn a blind eye."
"No matter who you are, all living things will suffer from the moment they are born, because pain is a part of life!" Cohen's answer was a bit blunt, "You have given them a lot of abilities and skills, which are far beyond what they need to survive.
This is how their arrogance and domineering develop. If you can have everything without thinking, exploring or working hard, who will cherish it? Because of your kindness and indulgence, they will throw all the problems they encounter to you and resolve all the conflicts that arise.
Pile on you!"
"The early God Kings and Demon Kings, wasn't their duty to solve problems for you? Why were they dissatisfied with this hard-working duty? Is the weakness of their superiors a reason for rebellion? These returnees,
Isn't their duty just to serve you? Why do they act like a coward when you are down and out? Isn't the fact that the enemy is powerful a reason for inaction?"
"The answer is simple, because they don't know what responsibility and dedication are! They have never thought about this kind of problem at all! In their eyes, who only know how to obtain, the world is a stage set that can be changed at will! In my opinion, this is
It is the origin of killing and bloodshed.”
"But...if I don't give them abilities and skills, what can I give them?"
"It's enough to give them hope and the space to realize their hope. You can tell them to eat to live, but you can't tell them what to eat today, what to eat this year, and what to eat in this life." Cohen said without hesitation, "Create
The emergence of intelligent life like humans is actually a very great achievement, but your biggest mistake is not letting go. You help them solve problems and arrange everything for them. But you don’t realize that you are different from them, yes.
, from a certain perspective, you are their mother, you can love them, but you cannot live for them. Maybe at this time, letting go is the deepest maternal love."
"Is this really the case?" The Mother Goddess was silent for a long time, and then raised her gaze again, "Even after the trial, I realized that this reason was a bit inappropriate, but I still feel relieved. Thank you for your outspokenness, and thank you for your fair evaluation.
I finally feel better."
"You're welcome." Cohen said, "It's hard to change your own mind, and it's even harder to change the mind you've been holding on to, but I believe you don't bother to lie to me. So, I want to congratulate you on figuring it out."
"Congratulations?" The Mother Goddess was not used to Cohen's way of speaking. "Do I have anything worthy of congratulations now?"
"Of course. I know a proverb that says that if you learn the correct philosophy of life in the morning, you will have no regrets even if you pass away at night." Cohen nodded heavily and said extremely seriously, "You know my thoughts and requirements, and you have seriously considered them.
, this is very important and worthy of congratulations...I came here to actually recruit you into my group!"
"Join...Cohen, do you know what you are talking about?" It took the Mother Goddess a while to understand the meaning of this statement. In the strong shock, a cluster of sparks burst out in her eyes - the Mother Goddess could treat it calmly.
Trial and ruling, but as a living being, if there is a chance of survival, she cannot be unmoved.
There is no doubt that this sentence was also heard by Crow and others. The former's hand shook and left the world code, while the latter's reaction was much more brilliant - shocked, stunned, numb, sneered and cried, and so on.
It's like a museum of expressions.
"Do you think anyone is more awake than me now? I am Cohen Keda, and I am responsible for all my decisions." Cohen turned a deaf ear to the noise in the distance, "I have such a proposal, not because you are at the end of your rope, but because you
You are willing to listen to my voice and respond to me equally - this is luck. You and I can't do it under normal circumstances. I want to be grateful for this extreme environment."
"But don't you think it's too late?" Because Cohen's answer did not involve the opponent at all, the look in the mother's eyes suddenly dimmed a bit, and there was a bit of bitterness in her voice, "Cohen, you don't know yet that you are going to face
To what."
"It is clear at a glance." Cohen's tone was neither frightened nor passionate. "It is the ancient will and the source of life that I awakened."
"Cohen, you don't know the origin of the ancient will at all. It is composed of creatures that were born when the world sprouted. These creatures are all mutants of the original race. After natural death, their souls do not dissipate, but instead live in the dark side of the world.
Although their ways of existence are different and they can no longer come to our world, the power they have accumulated is extremely powerful, which is also the original intention of giving birth to me - there is no doubt that I am the product of their will."
Even though Cohen said that, the Mother Goddess still had to explain to him.
"I have the original memory and the ability to contact the ancient will, but I did not act according to the will of the ancient will, because I am vaguely repelled by its will. It is more likely that I just don't want to be disturbed by another will.
My children - so after the rebellion, I gave them the seeds. As you can guess, the more I planned, the deeper I got into."
"You awakened him. He has had countless incarnations. Many of the groups that these incarnations have integrated into have become part of the ancient will." The mother goddess's words were a bit heartfelt. "He used the mark in the incarnation as a guide to guide the ancient will.
I didn't expect it at all. But since its will has descended on the positive side of the world, it is a force that I cannot resist - because there is the imprint of the ancient will in my body."
"Creatures in chaos give birth to the source of life. The source of life makes rules to create intelligent life. After death, the soul of the intelligent life returns to the ancient will. It sounds like a cycle." Cohen was noncommittal, "But these inside stories are very important to me.
It's not important to me, I'm actually not interested in knowing what they are or where they come from."
"I'm a little tired. I'm tired of this unknown force that suddenly emerged." Speaking of the past, Cohen looked dull, "I didn't know that there were higher-level opponents when I got involved in the imperial battle; I defeated the temple and the demon temple, and then I realized that there were more advanced opponents."
I understand that there is the God King and the Demon King behind me. After all the hardships and sacrifices, I discovered that there is still a source of life... It is like this every time, so now this ancient will is nothing new to me, and I will study it only after I have eaten enough.
.”
"Mother God, I only need to confirm one last thing now." Cohen really doesn't care about the origin of the ancient will. "In the eyes of many people, I am very fickle, I am very hasty, I have no persistence in my heart, I am casual and rash
No worries, what do you think?"
"If you only look at the surface, you are like this." Mother Goddess replied casually, "But in my eyes, you are a cunning tree. These frivolous branches and leaves are all to confuse others. In fact, you are covering up your own.
Root system.”
"It's a very distinctive metaphor, I like it! I also have a hunch that you will be a competent companion." Cohen smiled, and then said seriously, "Then let's cooperate. The time is tentatively set from now until the grass opposite gives up.
It's up to you. If you don't have the intention to unite to deal with humans by that time, then we can talk about continuing to cooperate."
"Cohen, you can't make such a joke..." The Mother Goddess knew the expression of the source of life opposite her without looking.
"Whether it's a joke or not, you will understand later." Cohen waved his hand to stop the Mother Goddess. "I am not a very patient companion. Sometimes I am very reckless and direct, so at this time, as a companion, you only need to cooperate.
I’ll be fine.”
Perhaps because of Cohen's determined eyes, the Mother Goddess was silent. Cohen's words sounded rude, but in fact they were very considerate, because at this time, the Mother Goddess was not suitable to stand out. Think about it, she can stand up to the crow and the ancient times.
What to do in front of will?
"Wrongful name, wrongful act, wrongful act, wrongful insistence." Cohen muttered the charges of the Mother Goddess, slowly turned around, facing the gorgeous verdict in the sky, "The previous verdict was to erase
To the Mother Goddess and all she created?”
"Cohen, I remind you not to call her by this unreasonable name again." Crow spoke with authority, "This clause is not completely obliterated in the ruling, but anything she creates that exceeds the norm will definitely be sanctioned."
"What I call others is my hobby. If you don't like it, you can cover your ears." Cohen sneered, "That means, including the four elemental gods, false gods and demons, returnees... the thirty-six tribes, and me
Are all the expeditionary forces within the sanctioned scope?"
"Of course they can't escape their fate." Crow's tone was gentler, "As for the thirty-six tribes and your expeditionary force, because there are hidden secrets, the laws of the world can treat it differently."
"I guess you're about to say 'but'?" Cohen imitated the other party's tone, "Should we, the poor bastards who were treated extrajudicially, be your slaves, or should we get something from the Mother Goddess?"
I offer my abilities with both hands?”
Faced with Cohen's sharp questioning, Crow was speechless for a moment, the light and shadow on his face flickered, and he thought for a while before speaking, "I must admit, providing services to me or returning to ordinary life, these are the two easiest ways.
If you don't accept it, there are other ways, but if you rule out the first two options, it involves a lot of details."
"What a pity! I don't want to be a slave, nor do I want to hand over my abilities, nor do I want to owe you endless favors." Cohen sighed, "It seems that I can only find a solution in the trial.
"
"I have thought that you would do this, and I have been waiting for you to challenge the Code of Worlds." The Code of Worlds in Crow's hand was raised higher, "You want to overturn her crime? I am very curious, can you use
What subverts the cognition of centuries and billions of living beings.”
"I disappoint you." Cohen waved his hand, said calmly and directly, "What I want to say is not a crime, but a verdict."
"Judgment? Judgment!" Crow was stunned for only a moment and immediately understood what Cohen meant.
The four charges of false name, false act, false claim, and false persistence are very rigorous and meticulous. In addition, the crow is carefully prepared, and there is evidence collected by countless incarnations. There is no possibility of refutation by the mother goddess. Even if Cohen is replaced, even if his tongue is
Canlianhua, for the time being, can't beat the crow at the "trial" stage. After all, it is the will of the ancients that makes the final decision.
Therefore, Cohen does not intend to waste energy on this. What he wants to do is to change the content of the "sentence", that is, the sentencing step. As a former emperor, Cohen certainly knows that the law is a mixture of human feelings and rules. Compared with trial,
Although justice is fair, severe and attracts attention, in fact, judgment is the easiest to be interfered with, and it can even be said to be full of variables.
"If you are ready." Before Crow could think of a countermeasure, Cohen spoke again, "You can convey my words." (To be continued)
