Todd was a little confused: "You have memories of past lives...?"
Sutherland turned his hand over: "Not only the previous life..."
Todd took a heavy breath: "You mean...there are memories of going forward...?"
Sutherland: "Previous lives, then previous lives..."
Todd stretched out his hand to stop Sutherland: "Stop! Tell me, how many generations ago can you remember?"
Sutherland: “When I was a seven-year-old child, I could recall most of my past lives; when I was fifteen, I remembered most of my previous lives; when I was twenty, I could recall
The memory of the third generation’s past life…”
Todd interrupted Sutherland again: "How much can you remember now?!"
Sutherland: "Now, I can recall my life 5,500 years ago."
When Todd heard this, he stood there in shock, not knowing what to say.
When he came to this different world, he could only remember what happened in his previous life on earth. But the man in front of him could actually remember his entire life in the past five thousand and five hundred years?!
Sutherland raised his head and said while thinking: "To use the terminology of your original world, this phenomenon called...rebirth has happened to me hundreds of times. But these are only the memories that I can recall. If it really
To calculate the actual number of rebirths, I think that number is probably much greater than a hundred."
Todd: "You mean, your soul has been reborn at least a hundred times, and you can remember the content of each life."
Sutherland: "Of course, strictly speaking, not every rebirth can be remembered very clearly. Some memories will be a little blurry."
Todd shook his head: "I can only remember one memory before my rebirth, which is the memory on earth, but I feel pain every moment... And you, I really can't imagine how you survived.
?”
Sutherland smiled and said: "My purpose is to live every life well without leaving any regrets... When everything you do has meaning, you will not feel the pain of countless rebirths."
Todd smiled bitterly and said: "I'm afraid I can't be like you..."
Sutherland: "No, you can do it after all... Let's bring the topic back. In so many rebirth experiences, I have met many forerunners and encountered many reborn people like you.
Through their conversations, as well as the research on the Beacon Tower-Jingsu, I gradually gained a little understanding of the Battle of God's Choice and some of the things hidden behind it."
Todd perked up his ears.
Sutherland: "First of all, let's talk about the Chosen Ones in the Battle of God's Chosen."
"These God-chosen ones were selected and gathered together by Jingsu. They were not the result of random selection. In fact, these people share a common characteristic. They are all awakeners of soul memory... Perhaps in your words,
These people are more or less reborn people who retain some memories of their past lives."
"Some of them, like you Todd, only have the memory of one previous life, and some, like me, have the memory of multiple previous lives. There are also some people who, although they have not recalled the memory of the previous life, they have already dimmed it.
During this time, there are signs of awakening.”
Todd held his chin and thought while saying: "I have sorted out my thoughts and found out that all those participating in the Battle of God's Choice are actually awakeners of soul memory, but the degree of awakening varies."
Sutherland: "Yes, that's the case. Jingsu brings these candidates together, determines an agent through competition, and gives the agent the power of God."
Todd rubbed his forehead: "I have some questions. First of all, how did you discover those chosen ones who have memories of past lives?"
Sutherland smiled and pointed at his head.
Todd suddenly realized: "I didn't ask this question. Since you have the ability to read minds, you can naturally tell who is the reborn person. Then the second question is that Jingsu gathered the reborn people together and let them kill each other.
What is the purpose?"
Sutherland: "I don't know."
Todd was stunned: "I don't know? I thought you already had the answer after studying it for such a long time."
Sutherland: "I asked the Chosen Ones, the Forerunners, and no one knew what the floating pyramid wanted to do."
Todd: "Okay, one last question. Since the Chosen Ones are reborn, most of them have memories of past lives. Why do they still want to participate in this battle of the Chosen Ones when they know the truth about all this?"
Is the endless cycle of killing really meaningful?"
Sutherland: "Actually, the people who participated in the Battle of God's Choice can be roughly divided into two categories."
Todd: "Two categories?"
Sutherland: "The first type of people long for the power of God, and the second type of people long for the truth of God. Those who long for power ask all living beings to surrender to his feet, and those who long for the truth hope to unlock the secrets behind everything."
Todd looked at Sutherland: "So you are..."
Sutherland: "Surrender means nothing to me. What I want to see is the answer."
Todd nodded in agreement, and then asked doubtfully: "Even if you win the battle of God's Choice, how will you find the answer?"
Sutherland: "It's very simple. The crystal will give part of the power to the winner, and the latter can use these powers to do many things, including activating and entering the beacon tower."
Todd said in surprise: "Activate and enter the beacon tower? Is it really possible? Wouldn't this alert Jingsu?"
Sutherland: "After becoming an agent, your soul will be linked to the crystal. If you follow strict steps, you can safely spy on the beacon tower. If you are reckless, you are very likely to spy on the beacon tower."
With disastrous consequences...I've made similar mistakes before."
Todd heard what Sutherland meant: "You mean...you have ever won the Battle of God's Chosen?!"
Sutherland: "Yes, but the result was not good. I failed my people and brought disaster to everyone. So, after that, for such a long time, I have been learning lessons and trying to find ways to
To accumulate strength and prepare for the next battle of God’s Choice.”
Hearing this, Todd felt a shiver run down his spine: "During so many rebirths, you have been accumulating strength just to win the next battle of God's Choice and find out the secret of the Beacon Tower?"
Sutherland didn't answer Todd's question, but the look on his face already gave the answer.
At this time, Todd was in a state of confusion. There was a question on his lips, but he couldn't express it.
The problem is...
Sutherland... In order to portray yourself as the savior of the alien race, in order to win the trust of all alien species, in order to draw those people into your camp in the battle of God's Choice... In the alien war in Gutero thousands of years ago,
Did you play a dishonorable role during the purge? Or were you actually the real mastermind behind the entire massacre?
