The void is endless, it is everything and everything outside of everything, it is the unity of the knowable and the unknowable, it is the collection of everything and everything outside of everything, everything that can be described, what cannot be described, what can be explained, what can be solved, what is unsolvable, what is orderly, what is disorderly, all of which are contained in the void, and the dark tide of this infinite realm surges, and every time the tide rises and falls, countless worlds are born, and countless worlds are annihilated, whether it is the dream plane, or the surface world, or any other universe, In fact, they are just bubbles in the void.However, it is this bubble that gives birth to endless splendid landscapes - those soulless, spirited, ignorant, wise, countless natural phenomena and intelligent races have shaped the world in this bubble, and every line of scenery in this world has moved the gods.Leah saw such a view for the first time.For a long time, she has been trapped in the small universe she was born into, all she can see is the horizon that can be depicted by the limits of mathematics, even if she uses divine power to sense, she can only vaguely sense the edge of the universe, and the weak information fluctuations outside the margin, she relies on calculation and reasoning to come to the conclusion that there is a new world outside the universe, but today, for the first time, she has seen with her own eyes those landscapes that previously only existed in mathematical formulas and theoretical models.Countless nebulae, realms, and realms stretched out on the water beneath her feet, and some of them gradually became clear, and the fate of these worlds also came into her mind, and she saw the history and future of these worlds as if she had witnessed them, and although the distance between them and her had reached a scale that could not be described by mathematics, everything seemed to be experienced as if she had experienced it herself.And the voice of the "mother" sounded directly in her head: "This place is called the Great Nebula, 10,000 years ago it was also called the 'Galaxy of War', the entire universe is almost a battlefield, and more than three digits of civilizations live here, they are all mortals, and their opponents are a group of gods who have gone crazy......
"This is Heisenwood-Redmoon, there are more than a dozen intelligent races living on this Gemini system, and their civilization level has not even broken through the bottleneck of astronautics, But they had to deal with a catastrophe big enough to trigger the end of the world—they had been holding out for a thousand years before the Protoss took care of the world."
This planet has been destroyed, I used to personally guard here, guarded it for tens of millions of years, my body is the seal, and this planet is covered on me, like a tomb, there is a human civilization on the grave to multiply, but after the seal is broken, this civilization will be wiped out in an instant - but the survivors have built a shelter on a nearby planet, and now 10,000 years have passed, they are about to launch a deep space spacecraft to the edge of the universe, a disaster that broke out on a planet, It's completely out of their sights. ”Leah's mouth opened slightly: "There are so many......
So many worlds, so many calamities......""
The void is endless, the number of worlds is endless, but for many mortals who can only survive on a small planet for the rest of their lives, such a vast world is actually not very meaningful, the world they live in is their entire world, and in the face of the disasters that occur in this world, they will burst out with a force of survival that you can't imagine - because for them, that's all they have."
So I would like to correct one of your words, my bloodline, you are indeed protecting them, but you are not just a protector, for protector is an overly condescending word, which means one-sided overlook and charity, while mortals—they are more determined and powerful than you think, even if there are no gods, they will protect their homeland and legacy, even more firmly than you.So it would be more accurate to say that you are not protecting mortals, but you are protecting their world with mortals."
You feel that you have a responsibility and obligation to protect mortals, and that's good, because a sense of responsibility has always been a good quality of a god, but don't use this sense of responsibility to overshadow mortals' own efforts, which will blind you, and blindness is often the first step to go astray."
Leah felt that she understood something, she nodded, her eyes slowly moved on the water under her feet, and the universe died and died under her gaze, and gradually, the picture on the water changed again, and the voice in her head continued to sound: "Now I'll teach you the second thing, about the parts that we can't save."
You've seen worlds that struggle to be reborn after the apocalypse, but in fact, it's more about these......
These can't be carried, not even a little residue is left, and only a world with a number plate can be left in the archives of extinct civilizations. ”The light and shadow on the surface of the water were changing rapidly, and the starry sky flew by, and Leah saw the ruins, the debris, the ruins.There are the wreckage of celestial bodies floating in the universe, the ruins of steel on the earth, and the huge starships that have been torn apart by the solitary floating in the sea of clouds of the gas giants, and those starships may mean a failed escape.Time passed, steel and tombstones were eroded, cities and ships were reduced to dust, and yet no survivors remained, and no descendants of civilization could rebuild them.There are more and more such images, and at the end of each group of pictures is dark, a black cross mark is their last note, and at the end of that mark Leah sees a huge cylindrical space that seems to float in the chaos, this space is boundless, and the cylindrical area is floating countless neat lattice crystals, and countless vague figures are shuttling through this space, storing certain things into that grid.Under some inexplicable sense, her gaze suddenly looked in a certain direction, and the square at the end of her line of sight became clear in her eyes.She saw some words floating in front of the square: "Dream Plane - Tanagus, Civilization Status: Extinct, Archivist: Hao Ren" Leah opened her mouth: "......
I remember the name......
"Although they have been destroyed, the creatures that live in these worlds have also resisted resolutely, and the lucky ones among them can still leave a few words of record or a few bloodlines that have been severed, but many more have only one number remaining.The end of the world is happening every minute in the Endless Void, and even if the gods fight to the death and all the beings in the world resist to the death, the numbered 'tombstones' left in this archive will continue to grow day after day.So, do you think there is any point in our efforts given that these worlds are doomed to destruction?
”Of course it makes sense, Leah wanted to say it, but she couldn't help but remember the negative thought she had at the beginning."
You're hesitating, because you've realized the crux of the matter," the tall figure condensed out of thin air again, she quietly looked into Leah's eyes, "Maybe we are not destined to save everything, maybe sacrifice is inevitable, but our battle is never a deal with clear benefits - mortals resist because they don't want to perish, we fight because we don't want to see them perish, such a motive is enough, as for the outcome......
Does that make sense?
”Leah silently clenched her fists and whispered, "I think I understand." ”"No, you don't quite understand it yet," the dark Valkyrie interrupted her, "because what I've told you so far is some glossy truths, which are certainly useful, but the momentum they generate is limited, and I'm going to tell you something more practical than the truth—"We fight, and we have to kill an enemy even if we fight and sacrifice bloodshed, and the more important reason is that we are unhappy." ”Leah: "......
Huh?
”"We want to protect something, but someone tries to do the opposite, trying to destroy what we are protecting, so we will be unhappy, will be very, very, very unhappy, this unhappiness is the first motivation for us to decide to kill the opponent, no matter under any circumstances, as long as this unhappiness still exists, we have absolutely no reason to stop, either to completely smash the opponent into scum, or to press the opponent to the ground and let him willingly call the ancestor, otherwise never stop!"
A qualified god will fight to the death after identifying his enemy, and we will meet our enemy head-on, destroy him with all our might, crush him, crush him to ashes, and cut him with a thousand swords.If he escapes, then hunt him down to the end of the void, if he defends, then crush his defenses, if he resurrects ten thousand times, then kill him ten thousand and one times, if he dares to spread his evil minions everywhere, then cut off every ounce of his power, sweep away every one of his minions, dig them out of multiple dimensions, dig them out of different timelines, dig out of the background radiation of the universe, and dig until he regrets being born in this world—and this, It is the violent means necessary to achieve justice. ”Leah's eyes slowly brightened."
My bloodline, now tell me, did that guy called the Lord of the Hustle upset you?""
Very unpleasant!""
Do you look down on your enemies because your career has been frustrated and your achievements have been ruined?""
Absolutely not!""
Are you, then, willing to fight for your slaughtered people, to crush your enemies to ashes?""
Quite willing!""
Very well, it seems that you are ready for justice," the Dark Valkyrie smiled and looked at Leah approvingly, "Then now turn to the first page of the textbook, the first lesson, about the origin and definition of gods - the whole text is highlighted, and the final exam is examined." ”Leah: "......"
In another world, in the office of another god, Hao Ren looked at the goddess in front of him with some suspicion: "Do you think what the dark Valkyrie left behind in the textbook will really work?"
”"It's going to work," Raven 12345 waved his hand, "Anyway, if your own mother doesn't have a problem, then even if you really pick up the eggs on the meteor hammer, it won't be of much use."
Let's not talk about that, let's talk about that dark realm......"
