Chapter 864 Modifying the Death Cycle
The huge crack is lifeless, as if leading to the bottom of the Nine Netherworld.
"That's death itself." Wei Shiyue stared at the entrance of the afterlife, and she could feel a part of her body calling and eager to embrace death. Ever since she was blasted down by the Silla people with plasma cannons twelve years ago, she has been almost a dead dragon, relying on the practice of immortality to maintain the status quo.
"That's where Nether Pomorti manages the cycle of death." Chrysos, the soul of gold, transformed a golden sword from his hand.
"So I opened the entrance with a knife?" Faroza observed carefully.
"Yes, it's like going through a tunnel, but everyone else enters through the entrance, and you enter through the rock roof directly above the tunnel." Chrysos said with awe.
It respects the incomparable power of the god-killing weapon, perhaps the most powerful weapon this civilization can craft.
"Then this is the end of our journey." Faroza thought, "The lair of Airrid and Pomorty."
"I'm afraid Elrid won't wait for us in the afterlife, but will stop us at the entrance, because that place is gloomy and very strange." Chrysos judged.
"It's really hateful for your two brothers to destroy the world like this." Ishtar criticized righteously.
"I know what they want to do - kill all humans and turn this planet into a new home for giant gods. This world is too crowded for us, but it is still empty after killing all intelligent creatures." Chrysos said.
"It's cruel, this is our homeland, I won't just watch everyone being killed by you." Ishtar was sad and determined.
Will it become a dead planet? Faroza secretly thought. That is indeed more suitable for the giant gods. It turns out that they just want to turn this place into their new home, so they don't care about creating damage. To them, it is actually just a "landscape transformation project".
That's right - we can modify that too. Faroza suddenly thought of this.
"Anyway, we have all thought, is there anything that can escape control, is it the soul? The secular legal scale cannot measure the size of the soul, and no strict human judge can judge the weight of the soul. But you see, just There, that is the world after death, where every soul is managed." Faroza pointed to the entrance of the ghost tunnel.
As soon as Faroza said, everyone present had their own thoughts.
How unfortunate it is to be taken care of even after death!
The human body is governed in the world, so it can define its position in the world: the vast majority of people are governed and governed, and a small group of people seem to be unrestrained, but they are actually bound by the laws of matter. Faroza thought to herself.
Therefore, people place their hopes on the vastness of the afterlife world, and their souls are light and unrestrained, wandering in the vast afterlife world, waiting for the opportunity of reincarnation, which is a fair common ending. What about Noriko Honma and Fumihiko Yanagawa who lost it!
However, the insidious world with layers of death in front of us presents a pessimistic fact: even if a person dies, the soul will be managed in the world after death.
The hierarchy is single and all-encompassing, and even death cannot escape a lesson.
"...If we go to the afterlife, can we modify the law of death?" Wei Shiyue asked.
Chrysos, the soul of gold, thought for a moment before giving an affirmative answer.
"That's right—if we defeat Pomorty, we can seize power in the afterlife and redefine what happens to people after death," Chrysos said.
Faroza laughed.
"How wonderful! Human beings, witches, us pioneers—we have been to the stars and clouds, we searched around, lifted the veil of the sky, and found no angels and heavens, and since then we understand that there are only scientific ones outside the sky. The world has eradicated the soil of ignorance. Now we have to figure out the mechanism of the afterlife world, and even the major event of 'death' is within our control." Farosha strode forward.
She ascended the mountain, approaching the entrance to the afterlife.
The seven dead birds fluttered around the crack and soared. They were strong and powerful, but when they saw the six people approaching, they still flapped their wings and fled back to the underworld without any intention of stopping them.
"They run away so fast! They know that death can't frighten us! Heh, yes, before I go in, I want to know... If you decide where the soul goes after death, how do you choose? How do you decide the reincarnation of the soul? The way of rebirth? How do you decide which souls will be reborn in the rich family and which souls will go to the poor place?" Farosa turned her head, crossed her fingers, and glanced at everyone's faces one by one.
"We should give them a chance to choose!" Ishtar said brightly, "We should reveal the future whereabouts of each soul, that is to say, each soul can see in advance where he will be reborn. In which family, so that they can be prepared and selected. We can also arrange a 'reincarnation mentor' to guide the souls how to reincarnate."
They all laughed when they heard it, because this is the most humorous one. All souls will choose a rich mother for reincarnation without hesitation. Who wants to be reborn in a poor and backward place?
Considering the current proportion of the world's population, if the soul is reborn normally, the vast majority of people will devote themselves to areas such as Baixiang Island, Hot Tree Island, Taiya Islands, and Tequila Island.
If a person dies suddenly, it is not easy to be reincarnated as Taixizhou, Xintaixizhou people, or to Xia and the northern islands. There are many dead souls and few births.
If it is all based on what Ishtar said, and you can choose by yourself, I am afraid that mothers in poor places will continue to give birth to empty babies. After all, no soul wants to be born in a poor family... The ghosts would rather wait in line to vote for rich and middle-class families .
"What about those souls who have unfinished business in their previous life? They should be given a chance to return to life for a short time or leave the afterlife, and let them complete some unfinished business in the form of ghosts." Wei Shiyue said.
"That's good." Ishtar nodded frequently, "There are many people who died before fulfilling their last wishes, or died suddenly due to accidents... If we modify the death mechanism so that those souls can return to the human world, It would be nice to chat with the family again and explain the last thing! How many regrets will there be in the world? How sad the family members of the plane crash, shipwreck, and car accident... But in this way, the family members can still talk to the soul of the deceased for the last time. How nice to talk for a while!"
"...Death can't escape, you have to come back to the world..." Faroza pondered, her law of recovery often fails, some people recover their bodies, but their souls don't return, and they become empty shells. If the soul can return to Yang, it can be resurrected casually.
A world where all live forever! With the law of recovery and the soul return mechanism, no one will die again.
"By the way," Yao Guang said suddenly, "it can become a vicious ghost, return to the human world, and entangle those murderers, so that we can solve the case more conveniently. No one would dare to kill violently, and the murder case would be solved.”
Chrysos spoke suddenly.
"I have seen civilizations in many stars. They have different ways of dealing with souls. Not all worlds are the same as this world. People die after death. In a highly developed civilization I know, the dead souls of those races will be killed. Judgment, and finally enter different realms and dimensions, Elysium, Ether World, Ring City, Mechanical Realm, Chaos Sea, Maelstrom, Beast Wasteland... There is another more developed civilization, for them, the biological matter The form is only a short-lived existence. After each creature dies, the soul will join a huge collective consciousness, where the same, undivided learning and evolution will be carried out. One is the many, and the many are one. Regardless of each other, all individuals share Wisdom and experience," Chrysos said.
Faroza thought about it.
"...What you said reminds me of some ancient myths. It is said that if you do good deeds, you will be cast in a good place in your next life. If you do bad deeds, you will be a bully in your next life. Why don't we have such a system? So that people in the real world They will learn to bear hardships and endure, because they know that if they have suffered enough sins in real life, as long as they remain patient, their moral character will increase, their hidden points will increase, and they will be cast in a good place in their next life; Even turned into a beast, met a group of bad family members." Faroza said enthusiastically.
They turned their attention to the cyber goblin who was silent during this discussion.
"Why didn't you say anything? Metal Master?" Yao Guang looked at the cyber goblin, she didn't know it yet.
"Because my thinking is quite different from yours." Said the cyber goblin.
What? We have exhausted almost all the options for reincarnation, but Xu Yang has other ideas? Faroza was amused.
"Then tell me about yourself," Faroza said.
"I think it should be completely random," said the cyber goblin.
"What?" Faroza was confused.
"All souls, no matter what you did in your previous life, no matter who you are, once reincarnated, they will be reincarnated completely randomly! You may become any life form, you may become any race, and you may be reincarnated into any family! This is Completely random results. No one knows what will happen." The cyber goblin said firmly.
"What does this mean?" Wei Shiyue mused.
"Absolutely fair." Said the cyber goblin.
There are no rules, no subjective evaluation, and no utilitarian considerations. Death and rebirth are all random without prejudice, and there is no right or wrong.
"No! It's not fair, and some compensation should be given to those people!" Ishtar objected, "For example, some people... live a very painful life from birth. If such people are reincarnated, they should go to a better place in their next life , if some people are unfortunately disabled, or stupid, ugly... they should also have the opportunity to be reincarnated and become better people."
"Once your approach is implemented and known to the world, there will only be one outcome - a mass suicide wave. People know that since this life is not going well and the next life will be better, they will actively reopen it!" Said the cyber demon .
"Ah—" Ishtar's eyes dimmed. The long-term single people, the poor, the ugly, the stupid, will commit suicide once they know that reincarnation is better, and they do. On the contrary, the completely random reincarnation mechanism will make people respect the existing life more. After all, no one knows what the next life will be like, so it is better to live this life seriously. When doing things, we will also consider the needs of this life more, and will not practice penance for the illusory afterlife.
But maybe moral improvement? If we really introduce the mechanism of "doing good deeds in life, better in next life", I am afraid that it will create an atmosphere of admiration for everyone? Ishtar looked towards the entrance of the afterlife, feeling that there was much to be done. Everyone has become a good person!
They had come to the entrance to the afterlife, and now they could enter with a single leap. No matter how they want to deal with the death cycle, they must first defeat the master of the afterlife.
At this moment, the ground suddenly shook violently, forcing them to retreat.
Climbing out of Airrid from behind the mountains, its body stood tall, casting a huge shadow in the dim sunlight.
"The code name 'Winter' reappears!" The Albrac space carrier quickly lifted off, ready for the challenge.
Elrid swung his frost axe, and the blade hung deadly over the entrance to the afterlife.
"My duty... is to guard the entrance to the afterlife for my brother." Elrid opened his cold lips.
