Chapter 1566 The Lament of God

When Lady Ye's voice fell, the surroundings of the towering throne seemed to gradually dim - an invisible pressure as if night was about to fall permeated the entire space, spreading from the top of the gray-white sky to the night city at the border However, when Gao Wen really looked up at the sky, he found that this "darkness" seemed to be just his own illusion. The pale sky still shrouded the four fields, and Ms. Ye's gaze hanging down from the clouds was still indifferent.

And the last words of the other party were still echoing in his mind.

"Do you want to pray to the real god?"

After a short period of trance and thinking, he realized that Ms. Ye's words were not what she said on the surface. What the ancient god really wanted to say was actually another meaning-do you need His salvation?

Gawain fell silent, this time for a long time. He was already planning to leave the Shadow God Kingdom and end this special meeting, but after a few minutes, he suddenly sat down on the floor—just sat down In front of Lady Ye's throne, sitting on the dividing line between the gray-white desert and the majestic mottled altar, he let the fine dust fluctuate with the wind around him, and slowly raised his eyes: "Prayer can save you, existence of this Choice, right?"

"... Those who seek help are saved, those who save themselves walk alone," Ms. Ye said quietly, "His power is not yet able to fully enter this world, but if it only takes away part of the seekers, it is not difficult for such a great existence. In the current situation, not only can He take away you, but he can also take away everyone you care about, and even... it is not impossible to take away your entire empire.

"On the other hand, you don't have to worry about the extra price you need to pay. If you really start praying, He will send grace, and there will be no so-called shackles of thoughts in this process, and there will be no worries of backlash. "

Gao Wen thought for a while, and then asked: "The person who asked for help was saved, so if you only look at it from the perspective of 'surviving', this is not much different from being taken away by the person who set sail."

"The difference is very big. The upper limit of the ethnic group taken away by the voyager is the voyager fleet, and it is still unknown whether the voyager himself can complete the final trial and reach the higher order of time and space. Those he's taking away will be truly safe and secure—at least in the current season of civilization's cognitive boundaries, this 'safety' and 'guarantee' are no near worry.

"Of course, the new upper limit still exists, because the saved are like chicks, and the patrons are still gods, but the wings of this shelter have become stronger and wider than before. In addition to cognition, you may need to develop dozens of generations, hundreds of generations, or even longer years before you realize the existence of the ceiling."

Ms. Ye paused for a few seconds, her lowered eyes seemed to carry some inexplicable meaning: "For the ethnic groups that cannot even cross the speed of light, the boundary outside the order of time and space is not the same as 'infinity'. no difference,

A high enough roof can also be regarded as a 'sky', which is actually a very good choice for you. "

Gao Wen didn't give any response, he fell into thinking again, and let the time go by, gradually, even Amber sat down beside him, although she didn't know what Gao Wen was thinking about, but He also pretended to think along with him.

After an indeterminate amount of time, Gao Wen's body suddenly moved, as if a sculpture woke up from a deep sleep, and fine gray-white dust suddenly fell from the seam of his clothes, as if he had made a major event. Decided, with a faint smile on his face: "No."

"... Oh?" ​​Ms. Ye's voice was delayed for a long time, and he seemed a little surprised, "You refuse?"

"Yes."

"Even if it's the 'true god'?"

"Yes."

"I want to hear your reason," Ms. Ye said with a hint of playfulness in her voice, "This is not an easy decision."

"I don't know if my reasons are sufficient, but I think... civilization should have its own development track," Gao Wen spoke slowly, as if he was carefully considering every word he said, "This world has already Today, all sentient beings use their wisdom and strength to overcome difficulties, stand shoulder to shoulder with God, and use great perseverance and courage to stand in front of the demon tide, ready to face the biggest challenge on the road to the survival of civilization... Ma'am, Now that we have come this far, why do we need to seek refuge in an all-knowing and all-powerful being?

"If the world was in the state it was a few years ago, or even just two years ago, I am afraid I would not be able to refuse this temptation, because at that time the Loren people were not ready to 'stand up', and the world was still Wandering in confusion, every step taken by the world was towards a precarious and confused future, and the alliance had not yet formed. Every country in this world was fighting on its own. All I cared about was With the followers around me, seeking the guidance of a great existence at that time, and knowing in advance that there would be no worries about the future, it was indeed an option that could not be refused.

"But it's different now, ma'am, this planet is packed and ready to go alone and survive alone."

"And even without considering these vague factors, I think it is not a good thing for the alliance at this stage, or even just for the Cecil Empire at this stage, to move closer to faith—even if it is the "True God" Considering the possibility of social loss of control in the short term, but also the long-term upper limit of civilization development, maybe the great existence you mentioned can really protect the common people, and even do countless times better than the sailor, but I really doubt it... After such violent social turmoil and cultural changes, the Cecil Empire that was 'taken away' is not the original Cecil Empire after all.

"Finally, and most importantly... Ms., you said just now that the power of that great being has not been able to fully enter this world. Although I don't know what causes that kind of existence to be restricted, the fact is that He I can only selectively take away some people, even if this 'some people' can even include my entire empire, but what about the rest? What about the rest of the people on this planet?

"Even further away... what about the Noi people who are still waiting for their allies to help? Do they have this chance?

"At this critical juncture, my withdrawal means that hundreds of millions, or even billions of creatures were thrown into the abyss by me... even if we have never met, I am still responsible to them.

"Ma'am, survival is important, I admit it, but sometimes we do things for more than just survival - now that mortals have chosen to get up and go, I don't think we need another way. "

After Gao Wen's voice fell, he breathed a sigh of relief. He calmly looked up at the clouds, and Ms. Ye watched him for a long time from behind the clouds. After a few seconds, his voice came: "But you can replace the world's sentient beings." Do you want to make a statement?"

"No," Gao Wen replied without the slightest hesitation, "I can only represent my own opinion on this matter."

"Then you want to let all beings face this choice and make a decision by themselves?"

"No," Gao Wen replied equally decisively, "This will tear the entire Loren civilization apart. A savior who is truly omniscient and has no hidden dangers within the scope of mortal cognition, the price is that there is currently no end in sight. The determined subversion of civilization, on the other side is an independent but arduous and arduous road to travel alone. This road may go further or may die halfway. When such a choice is placed in front of the Loren people at this moment, the entire society will be torn apart. And much of what we have held on to so far will be gone.”

"So, you are going to make a risky 'arbitrary'." Ms. Ye's tone was finally no longer as lazy and casual as before, but with a seriousness and solemnity that Gao Wen could not fully understand, "If your choice is correct Yes, then all living beings in this world will embark on a more glorious and glorious path, and even the gods under the highest order will pay tribute to you, but if you lose the bet... at least for those who had the opportunity to be shaded You will change from a great man to a sinner, and it will be an unprecedented crime."

Gao Wen thought for a while, and was about to say something more, when Amber next to him suddenly stood up, and the Shadow Assault Goose swung his arms vigorously, his face flushed a little: "But in the history of mortals, not every so-called Are the great decisions made by 'heroes' accompanied by a 'possible route' that can lead them to become eternal sinners? It is only because they have to make a choice at the node of fate! But if we are in history Every key node of the game questioned the sentence "If he made a wrong bet at that time, he must be a sinner through the ages", then ordinary people may still worry about being eaten by wolves in the cave today! In the final analysis, the first decision to bring the whole family Aren't the tribal leaders who migrated from the caves to live on the plains also risking extinction?"

Gawain looked at Amber who was chatting beside him in some astonishment. For a moment, he couldn't believe that these words came from her mouth. Amber also quickly noticed Gao Wen's gaze. She seemed to be coming from some kind of excitement. After calming down, the flushed face was still a little bit more embarrassed: "Um... Did I say something wrong? It feels like the metaphor is not quite right..."

Gao Wen was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled and shook his head: "No, this is probably the most accurate example you gave,"

"...Interesting," Ms. Ye's voice suddenly came, interrupting the conversation between Gao Wen and Amber, "Another surprise to me, my 'shadow' made a speech that I didn't expect at all."

Then he paused, and said with a smile: "However, what you said is right, enough to convince the gods."

Immediately afterwards, His attention was placed on Gao Wen again, and after two seconds of pondering, He nodded lightly: "So, this is your attitude - even if you lose the bet and you are a sinner through the ages, you will not Any doubts and hesitation."

"Over the years, I have made too many choices that would make me a sinner forever if I make a mistake," Gao Wen laughed, "And since just now I have been thinking about one thing, which also made me make a choice. A big reason for the decision to 'refuse to pray'."

"Oh? What are you thinking about?"

"I was thinking, the Voyagers have been trekking in this universe for so many years, and as the first civilization to open up the 'voyager route', the path they chose is even a hundred times more difficult than the challenges Loren will face, and since then Judging from the information you disclosed, the sailors obviously knew the existence of the 'supreme order' and the existence of those great gods..." Gawain laughed, "Then why didn't they choose to pray to God for protection? Instead Do you want to be such a pioneer who has gone through all kinds of hardships and dangers, and you still have to carry countless 'baggages'?"

Ms. Ye was silent for a few seconds: "Maybe it's because they are restricted and cannot seek asylum? Maybe they are burdened with shackles, and only after completing the final test can they be qualified to move forward."

"Ah, it looks like this is the 'invisible ceiling', isn't it? The border does still exist, though perhaps in a way I don't understand for now, but those 'great ceilings' you mentioned Existence does leave a boundary, and the Voyager seems to intend—or have to cross this boundary, so maybe we can do the same.”

After saying this, Gao Wen noticed that Ms. Ye slightly adjusted her sitting posture. Although he couldn't be sure, he had a vague feeling that he had just passed a test, or had made a move that was enough to make a living in the future. It was a decision that affected the progress of civilization in the extremely long years, and then he heard Ms. Ye's sigh from the sky:

"You...maybe you can really go further than the sailors."

Gao Wen didn't say anything, and Ms. Ye paused for a moment after the sigh, and then said: "I understand your choice, and since that's the case, all I can give you is my sincere blessing-leave, Do what's right, but I look forward to seeing each other again after the world is safe."

Gao Wen exhaled lightly, but before he took his leave and left, his eyes suddenly fell on the stone pillar in front of Lady Ye's throne.

"Modir's Travels" is quietly lying on the top of the stone pillar, the great adventurer who has traveled the world is now only silent.

"Can I take this book with me?" Gao Wen asked.

"I expected you to say that, but unfortunately... this book can no longer leave my side," Ms. Ye shook her head lightly, "The real Mordir Wilde should have been wiped out six centuries ago , and my power forced him to stay in the world of the living, and now the remaining part of him is completely reshaped by the power of shadow, just like the shadow cannot exist independently from the body, this book must now be in the Only by my side can I exist stably.”

After Ms. Ye's voice fell, Amber couldn't help saying: "But am I not just a 'shadow' that still exists without my body?"

Ms. Ye was silent for two seconds, then sighed softly: "Try not to disrupt the situation like this when you go out in the future, you will be beaten easily."

Amber & Gao Wen: "..."

The embarrassment lasted for a moment, Gao Wen abruptly ignored the subtlety of the atmosphere: "Then this book..."

"It's true that I can't take it away," Ms. Ye still shook her head, "The situation of Amber is different, it cannot be compared with it, and... I once promised the great adventurer one thing, I should fulfill my promise. "

Gao Wen was a little curious: "Your promise? What did you promise him?"

"I promised him that I would let him witness the wider world and let him embark on an unimaginable journey—even though he has changed his appearance now, this promise is still valid," Ms. Ye smiled, "I have already Served for the voyager for 1.8 million years, and was bound to this throne due to the influence of the reverse tide, but now the state of the anchor point generator has returned to normal, and everything in the star space has been on track or is about to be on track. I'm on the right track, so I thought it would be okay to take a little vacation for myself and take a walk around."

Gao Wen's eyes widened when he heard this: "...you can still do this?!"

"Why not?" Ms. Ye seemed to wink her eyes, and her tone became more relaxed, "My neighbor, not only mortals are qualified to do extraordinary things, the old antiques on the throne will also have restless moments— —I had planned this 'walk' for a long time before the reverse tide came to make trouble, and now it's time to relax a bit."

Gao Wen was astonished.

He seemed to know where the spirit of fishing in Hu Po's bones came from.

But Ms. Ye didn't give him a chance to continue speaking. The ancient god once again resumed his lazy posture leaning on the throne, and then raised his finger slightly to point to the distant city of night, and suddenly appeared in the sea of ​​sand. A long bridge formed by condensed twilight twilight, pointing from the throne to the city.

"Go in this direction. You will return to the real world. The guide is already waiting at the end of the road. Don't let them wait too long."

Gao Wen and Amber looked at each other, then they nodded, and then nodded slightly to Ms. Ye with a relaxed expression.

I have already asked what I should ask, and I know what I should know. After taking over the legacy of the voyager, the only thing left to do is to return to the place where I came and face the next road.

With the expectation of the next meeting, they turned and stepped on the long bridge formed by the condensed light.

After the figures of Amber and Gao Wen gradually disappeared in the twilight twilight, it took a long time for Ms. Ye who stayed on the throne to sigh softly.

The ancient god didn't know what to think about. After a long time, he said softly as if talking to himself: "They refused to pray, and they wanted to go by themselves."

He waited quietly, and a moment later, from an extremely distant place, from the depths of some kind of dark connection, a faint sigh finally sounded softly: "... Awesome."

(It's time to push the book, "Into the Unscientific" by the novice fisherman. This book has been pushed before, so there should be no need to introduce it. It’s because of the high milk resistance, so it’s not easy to die from milk, so everyone can support it.)
