Everything around was silent except for the sound of wind lingering around my ears.
The warm and prosperous sunshine shines through the misty clouds and mist, lighting up the world and giving the world various novel and gorgeous colors.
The sky is blue and the earth is colorful.
The air that permeates the flowers is fragrant and fragrant, like a handful of lovesickness or a pot of turbid wine. When you smell it, you will be intoxicated and you will suddenly forget all your worries.
The breeze slowly drifted in. Looking around, the green grass lay low, the sea of flowers swayed, and countless petals rose up, reflecting the two figures, one black and one red, tightly packed together in the center of the sky and earth.
Lei Luo and Yuzi hugged each other, and everything around them was silent for a moment, with only a little wind lingering in their ears, which seemed to quietly prove... the passage of time.
"It must be more than twenty years ago, right?"
After an unknown amount of time, Lei Luo's eyes moved slightly, his lips opened slightly, and he whispered to the side of his face, asking with his small and exquisite ears, and a touch of vicissitudes and longing flashed in his eyes.
Although the question had no beginning or end, Yuko seemed to understand it all and sighed leisurely: "To be precise, it is twenty-nine years, close to thirty years."
"Thirty years...why don't you come to me?"
"Do you really need me and welcome me?"
Lei Luo was silent for a moment, then asked: "Then... why didn't I go find you?"
"You have the answer in your mind, so why do you ask me?"
Answer……
Asking himself, Lei Luo knew what the answer was in his heart, why never went to Yuzi? Although the reasons were various, in the final analysis, they were... suspicion, conflict, and resistance.
"you……"
"I have never interfered with your thinking." Before Lei Luo finished speaking, Yuko had already understood the meaning. After the opening remarks, his speech speed increased slightly:
"Your destiny, your choices, your experiences, and your dreams all come from your own will. At best..."
The sentence paused slightly, and in the corner where Lei Luo could not see, Yuzi's face showed a hint of subtle complexity. After a while, Fang slowly added:
"It only contains a little bit of my expectations for you."
Expectation...
"Is it really you who caused my time travel?"
"Why... did you choose me?"
Yuko gently pushed Lei Luo away, took a step back, and stood still. There was a serious look on her fair face. This was an expression Lei Luo had never seen on her face.
"Lei Luo, I want to correct you. I didn't choose you..."
"It's the humans on this planet who chose you."
"Humanity?"
All kinds of questions and speculations suddenly filled Lei Luo's mind. He was completely puzzled by what Yuzi meant, so he looked over with confused eyes.
"Before I explain this sentence, I feel it is necessary to tell you..."
"Explain Alaya's existence form."
exist……
In a pair of black pupils, red light flashed and turned red in an instant. Yuko's temperament seemed to have undergone some invisible change, but it seemed that... nothing had changed.
Maybe it was Yuko, or maybe Alaya, who naturally picked up the topic: "That was a hundred thousand years ago? A million years ago? Or tens of millions of years ago? I can't remember clearly..."
"In short, when the first ape jumped from the treetop and tried to walk on two feet to cross the rivers, lakes, seas and endless deserts, hoping to find a forest suitable for survival again..."
"The ignorant me was born like this."
As Alaya's ethereal and leisurely words fell, Lei Luo's spirit was suddenly shaken. He subconsciously narrowed his eyes and stared at the other person's plain face. His intuition told him...
The origin of Yuko or Alaya is probably very important.
In Gujing Mubo's tone, he slowly recounted the history of who knows how long ago. The existence named Alaya exuded an ancient and vicissitudes of atmosphere.
Those glowing red pupils seemed to be able to penetrate the past and the future.
"Heavy rains, floods, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and tsunamis... all kinds of natural disasters have made the environment extremely bad, and the advent of crises has forced ape-men to migrate and find new pure lands."
"During the migration process, in order to adapt to the new environment, the apes used more energy in their bodies to develop their brains. Gradually, they learned to use tools and harness the power of the group."
"Apes gradually evolved into Homo sapiens, or in other words, humans."
As he spoke, Alaya put his hands behind his back and looked at Lei Luo calmly: "Natural selection, survival of the fittest. If you have read the book "Evolution", you should be able to understand what I am talking about, right?"
The scene became quiet for a moment. Lei Luo looked at Alaya thoughtfully. After a while, he carefully considered his words and asked, "What about you? Between you and humans..."
"The evolution of the brain has given humans wisdom, giving them rationality and sensibility...these two methods of perceiving the world, communicating information, and handling problems."
Lei Luo was interrupted naturally with the same calm tone without any waves. Alaya raised his hand casually and said slowly: "And I, Alaya, am the product of human rationality."
A product of human reason?
"When disaster is unavoidable and catastrophe will destroy everything, the only emotion that condenses in the human heart is despair. Then I will appear and turn into hope..."
"Guide people to turn disaster into good fortune and ensure the survival of the race."
Having said this, Alaya showed a gentle smile, while Lei Luo had a vague understanding. Unexpectedly, the next second, she changed the subject and said coldly:
"When the world is at peace and human beings are addicted to the pursuit of pleasure, causing everyone to be unwilling to make progress and become depressed, I will appear again and turn into despair..."
"Tear false hopes to pieces and lead the way to change."
After saying that, Alaya's demeanor returned to calmness, and he said with a faint smile:
"Despair and hope coexist in me. I have only two purposes: to continue the survival of mankind, and... to promote the growth of the population."
"These two goals are instinctive desires engraved in human genes."
"It's also my...motivation for my actions."
"Now, do you understand?"
Either soft-spoken or powerful, Alaya's simple statements revealed a cold and ruthless aura, like a high-altitude god overlooking the world.
The product of human reason...that's what it is.
Lei Luo slowly closed his eyes and began to meditate. He understood the existence of Alaya: God, the first cause, God, the integration of human consciousness, the incarnation of reason...
No matter how you analyze it from any angle, Alaya's thinking and behavior philosophy, who was able to say what he just said, far exceed the limits that "mortals" can tolerate.
Although Alaya's self-introduction is only a "product of human rationality," Lei Luo believes that the other party is actually a god, a god in the true sense who "is not self-proclaimed."
At this moment, Youxiang's respect for Alaya, the connotation of Yuko's Heart Shadow ability, the reason why the Pope supports the alliance between the Evil God Cult and Kirigakure, the ten-year confrontation between the Federation and the Empire, and...the things that have been lingering in his mind all year round.
Psychic suggestion.
And, the so-called chosen ones, expectations... and prophecies...
All the clues gradually converged into a point, focusing on the red-eyed woman in front of him.
Contradiction or harmony, opposition or unity, survival or destruction, despair or hope...
The complexity of Alaya was somewhat beyond Lei Luo's imagination, and he was amazed. However, along with it, there was a suppressed fire in his heart that was about to burst out.
