Chapter 78 Departure(1/2)
Death is the ultimate problem that plagues mankind and the ending that everyone is destined to leave.
When our ancestors' spiritual orifices were first opened, they had already formed a habit of thinking about death. Fear forced them to look directly at the unknown and try to use any means to avoid this ending.
From religion in the ignorant era to science in modern society, the discussion on "death" has never ended, but it has not been resolved until now.
Perhaps for a long time to come, humans will still be unable to understand the nature of death.
This comes from the fear in the heart that will still accompany them throughout their lives.
But for Valentine at this moment, the mysterious and weird goddess of death stood in front of him, wearing a tulle on her face.
As long as he raises his hand and pushes away the hazy layer, he may be able to see the answer to the difficult problem that has troubled mankind for a long time.
But the premise is that Valentine must know whether she is really dead.
The heart stops, the brain stops, and the nerves are withered...
If he didn't understand these things, he would still be just watching the flowers in the fog.
"Then do you wish you were really dead, or not?"
Gorgeouse did not answer the question directly, but instead raised a question.
Under the cold night sky was warm spring water, but it could not warm Valentine's heart. He soaked in the water, closing his eyes and saying nothing.
The white mist was swaying in the hot spring, but Jiao Zhengyu's eyes were extremely clear. Not only did he see it, but also his heart.
Time passed by minute by minute, and Valentine still didn't speak. He seemed to be asleep, breathing smoothly and tightly pursing his lips, without any intention of answering.
"It's okay if you don't want to say it."
A few minutes later, Kaoru Yu broke the silence. She smiled and raised a shallow splash of water to the opposite side.
"I can see anyway."
The water droplets sprinkled on Valentine's face, awakening him. The stars in the sky were thrown into the boy's eyes, and countless silk threads were connected, which were as complicated as mess, illuminating the confusion in his heart.
"Let's talk about the conclusion first, you're really dead."
Jiao Zhengyu twisted his body and fell into the water, leaving only half of his head floating on the water.
A little yellow duck suddenly appeared in front of her, pushed by the ripples on the water, and circled around the little head.
"If you think about it, you will know that you are completely wrapped in source stone, as thick as concrete, with only two corners left outside."
"It is isolated from the air and cannot eat to replenish water. If you can still live, there will be ghosts."
Although Kaoru Yu was soaked in the water, her words were still very clear, as if they were directly in Valentine's mind.
However, as the words sounded, small bubbles continued to emerge in the water surface in front of Jiao Zhengyu, gurgling, as if she was really talking.
The bubbles floated out of the water and exploded, the little yellow duck shaking. The girl with antler shook her head slightly, her purple eyes stared at the toys in front of her, and even assimilated the white mist on the hot spring, staining with a strong and cute atmosphere .
"That means, I'm in the world I'm in first..."
Valentine was still looking at the night sky, not paying any attention to the cute thing on the other side of the hot spring.
"It's where people will come after they die."
Gudu.
A large bubble exploded, overturning the little yellow duck. Jiao Zhengyu opened his eyes wide and quickly reached out to straighten it.
Valentine froze in an instant, her body and spirit tensed into strings at this moment, as if it would break at any time.
It seemed as if the bubble was blowing in his mind.
...
"ha."
Valentine sighed and her spirits softened.
"So that's the case?"
He lowered his head, looked at the little yellow duck-played horned feather, and smiled bitterly.
It's surprisingly easy to accept.
In Valentine's thinking, a serious issue like "death" will inevitably have a more serious result.
Then Kameyu told him that after humans die, they will become players in a blank world and start a Mi game with extremely high degrees of freedom.
Not only can you transform the environment as you wish, but you can also modify the laws that make up the world and become the true Creator God.
Doesn't it sound extremely absurd?
If it were Chen Yue in the past, he would never believe that this was the answer to death. Even Valentine, who had experienced a series of magical events, would not believe it.
But now he has experienced death firsthand.
If you don’t believe it, you have to believe it, and the facts are right in front of you.
This is also why Valentine accepted the answer so quickly.
"You know 'hell' and 'heaven'?"
Crash.
Jiao Zhengyu grabbed the little yellow duck and stood up from the water. She shook her head, and her hair was tied into a ball and seemed to be dispersed immediately.
The graceful curves of the girl's body were exposed in front of Valentine, but he could only see a shallow white mist.
"Of course I know."
The boy nodded.
Not only the earth, but also the concepts of "hell" and "heaven" in the world of Terra, the source is the myth of the Sakota people.
“This is ‘heaven’, or ‘hell’.”
Kaoraha retied his hair, tied it up, and sat back in the hot spring, but he was no longer soaked in the water like he had just now.
The little yellow duck was also placed aside by her hands, drifting with the flow in the shallow ripples.
"What?"
Valentine frowned.
He didn't understand what Kaoru Yu had just said.
The new world that people come to after death is heaven or hell?
This is quite consistent with the description in religious texts.
But everyone will become the Creator God in the new world he belongs to. No matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with hell, right?
It is very consistent to call it heaven.
"Oh."
Recognizing Valentine's thoughts, Ghost Yu sneered.
"Do you really think that the world that can do whatever you want is heaven?"
"shallow."
She bite the last two words very heavily, and the mocking meaning was obvious.
But Valentine was not angry either.
After all, after living for thousands of years, his mind and nature have long been different.
"You ancient people said it well, that you are born from worries and die from happiness."
"After living in this harmonious world for so long, you see everything so beautifully. Although there are monsters, you don't have them in your eyes."
Jiao Zhengyu raised his head slightly and narrowed his eyes slightly.
The pattern in her purple eyes seemed to come alive at this moment, slowly rotating, and bursting with strange light.
"Because there is no monster on Earth and Terra."
"but……"
"You stand on the streets of those two worlds, in the crowd you see,
But there are many existences that are thousands of times more terrifying than monsters.”
The words ended, and the hot spring returned to silence, only the sound of the wind at night echoed in Valentine's ears.
But at this moment, he already understood what Jiao Zhengyu meant, and he felt like he was falling into an ice cave.
...
In the Battle of Checheng, Valentine actually had an extremely "exciting" adventure, which was the period when it was wrapped in substantial sin.
Although it was short, he experienced all the negative emotions accumulated by the Terra civilization over the long period of time and became a sinner throughout history.
He did not see the glory of the ancient people of Terra. Every cell and every nerve in his body felt only pain.
It's horrible and terrible.
But that is what really happened in history, and it is the sin committed by human beings.
To be continued...
