Chapter 2956 Tenpyokai

"My student, for you, the structure of a lich is too small, and becoming a god is the right way."

"I believe that in the not-too-distant future, you will be able to become a demigod and obtain an immortal body."

"Absolute existence means absolute nothingness. When a mortal achieves immortality, the greatest pain in the endless journey of the rest of his life is to lose his way, unable to find a goal that can motivate him to move on."

"When that day comes, I hope you can still remember this invitation to join the membership, and carefully consider my suggestion."

"Finally, good luck to you!"

...

After reading the tutor's reply letter, Joan's mood was very complicated.

Joan happened to recognize Samuel and Cain mentioned in Professor Moriarty's letter.

Samael used to be the elder cardinal of Odis. The identity that Joan pretended to be in Odis, the "Faster" Gnostic, was a student of Samael.

Joan never thought that his mentor, Professor Moriarty, and the "Gnostic" mentor, Elder Samuel, were old friends in reality, and both of them chose to become liches in the end.

Another member of the Balance Society, the "blood-sucking mind flayer" Cain, Professor Moriarty said in his letter that he died of a vendetta. However, the professor may not have imagined that his students also participated in the killing of Cain.

If he had known that Cain and Professor Moriarty were both members of the Balance Society, Joan would not have accepted Metatron's commission to help her hunt down Cain.

All kinds of erroneous coincidences came together, making Qiao An feel that the world is unpredictable.

Aside from these coincidences, Professor Moriarty's statement in the letter of the "Scale Society" creed, the so-called "rational neutrality and opposition to extremes", Joan quite disagrees.

The ideal of the Libra Club sounds noble, but the question is, how to judge what is rational, what is fanaticism, what is conservative, and what is radical?

If the balance cannot find an objective and fair standard of measurement, it can only use its own likes and dislikes to judge right from wrong, unintentionally violating the original intention of this organization, and it is very likely to make jokes about doing bad things with good intentions, and even itself will be reduced to destroying the world The scourge of balance.

With Professor Moriarty's ingenuity, it is impossible not to see that there is an insurmountable gap between the ideal and reality of the Balance Society, but he did not mention these hidden dangers at all. Could it be that he is pretending to be confused?

Joan recalled the words at the end of the teacher's letter, and gradually tasted a deeper meaning.

Life is short, if you are not willing to waste your time, you must always set an ideal for yourself and work hard to realize it.

Also limited by the shortness of life, rational people always have to consider various realistic factors when setting life goals. Reasonable goals must be realistic, and at least they are expected to be achieved within their own lifetimes.

However, this rule does not apply to individuals who have escaped the lifespan limit, such as liches.

Contrary to ordinary people who suffer from the short life span, Lich's distress stems from immortality. Any goal that can be achieved in a limited time is insignificant in an infinite time, and it is not worth fighting for.

It is difficult for an individual with an infinite life to find an ideal that requires a lifetime of hard work to realize. Even if you throw a stone into the sea, as long as you don’t die, the day will fill the sea. What's the point of being non-challenging and working hard?

If you abandon all lofty goals because of this and live only for life, your soul will fall into the abyss of emptiness, and then doubt the meaning of your life in this world. It is better to die and all troubles will disappear.

As Professor Moriarty put it in his letter:

"Absolute existence means absolute nothingness. When a mortal achieves immortality, the greatest pain in the endless journey of the rest of his life is to lose his way, unable to find a goal that can motivate him to move on."

This is a difficult problem facing all undead. Professor Moriarty and his fellow liches must give an answer that can justify itself and motivate them to continue to exist.

"Balance will" is the answer they gave.

Everyone can see that the program of this organization is simply unrealistic.

Where there is life, there is conflict. Trying to maintain balance in a world full of conflicts is more difficult than destroying the world. The ideal of the Balance Society will never be fully realized.

However, for the undead lich, it is this illusory goal that is worth pursuing. Unrealistic ideals and the never-ending life of the lich are opposed to each other, which can dispel the emptiness in the heart of the undead to a certain extent.

Of course, there are many unrealistic ideals, some of which are far nobler, more passionate and provocative than the mediocre creed of "rational neutrality", but Professor Moriarty and his comrades have no choice Those loftier ideals are not because they are too narrow and outdated, but because they have self-knowledge.

In this world dominated by living people, undead creatures are the epitome of evil in the eyes of the public. The sharp opposition between the living and the undead is far greater than the contradictions within human society.

If Tianping proposes a more radical program of action, even a noble program for the welfare of the people at the bottom of society, it will inevitably arouse the resentment and vigilance of the rich and powerful, denounce it as a cult with ill intentions and incite riots, and unite to brutally suppress it .

On the other hand, it is also difficult for the Tianping Society to win the support of the people at the bottom. In this world where most people agree that "people who are not of our race must have different hearts", how can ordinary people believe that Liches will sincerely work for their own welfare?

Conversely, if the balance is tilted toward the conservatives and assists those with vested interests to maintain the current order, they will become thugs of the powerful and shameless lackeys, spurned by progressives and hated by the people at the bottom.

Also because of the difference between life and death, the rich and powerful will not regard the liches as their own people. Once the foundation of the rule is unstable, most of them will abandon their allies and quell the anger of the public, and the balance will inevitably be exhausted.

Since neither of these two tendentious positions is desirable, the Balance Society can only choose neutrality, take maintaining balance as its mission, and oppose all extremist forces.

What happened in Shizhu Town has shown that not everyone is qualified to remain neutral between the conflicting parties.

Professor Moriarty and Elder Samuel are obviously aware of this, so they are actively looking for newcomers to enhance the strength of the Balance Society.

If you want to join the Balance Club, you must have an "immortal body". This condition is very harsh, and an excessively high threshold is obviously not conducive to expanding the scale of the organization.

At first, Joan thought that Elder Samuel and Professor Moriarty didn't want to be too high-profile and attract suspicion, and they were only satisfied with forming a small but united "elite club".

However, when he re-read the tutor's reply carefully, he suddenly had a new guess.
