Chapter 1679 Respective Responsibilities

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. It is everything that can be described, that cannot be described, that can be explained, and that has no solution. , orderly, and disorderly, all are included in the void. Undercurrents surge in this boundless realm. With each ebb and flow, countless worlds are born, and countless worlds are annihilated. Whether it is the dream plane, the surface world, or any other universe, they are actually just bubbles in the void.

However, these bubbles have given birth to endless splendid scenery - those inanimate, spiritual, ignorant, wise, countless natural phenomena and intelligent races are shaped in these bubbles. He saw the vast world, and every scene in this vast world moved the gods.

It was the first time for Leah to see such a scene.

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 described by the limits of mathematics. Even if she uses divine power to sense it, she can only vaguely sense the edge of the universe. As well as the weak information fluctuations outside the margin, she relied on calculations and reasoning to conclude that there are still new worlds outside the universe. But today is the first time she has seen with her own eyes those things that only existed in mathematical formulas and theoretical models in the past. scenery.

Countless nebulae, kingdoms, and universes stretched out on the water beneath her feet, and part of them gradually became clear. The fate of these worlds also came into her mind. She saw the fate of these worlds as if she had witnessed them with her own eyes. History and the future, although the distance between these worlds and her has reached a scale that cannot be described mathematically, it is as if she has experienced everything personally.

And the "mother's" voice sounded directly in her mind:

"This place is called the Great Nebula, and 10,000 years ago it was also called the 'Galaxy of War'. The entire universe is almost a battlefield, and more than three-digit civilizations live here. They are all mortals, and their opponents are A group of gods who have gone crazy...

"This is Hessenwood-Redmoon. There are more than a dozen intelligent races living in this twin star system. Their level of civilization has not even broken through the aerospace bottleneck, but they have to face a source of disaster that is enough to cause the end of the world - —Before the gods paid attention to this world, they had persisted for a thousand years.

"This planet has been destroyed. I have personally guarded this place for tens of millions of years. My body is the seal, and this planet covers me, like a tomb. There is a human civilization multiplying on the tomb. But after the seal was destroyed, this civilization was wiped out in an instant - but the survivors built a shelter on a nearby planet. Now ten thousand years have passed, and they are about to launch a deep space spacecraft to the edge of the universe. The disaster that breaks out on a planet is completely ignored by them."

Leah opened her mouth slightly: "There are so many... so many worlds, so many disasters..."

"The void is endless, and the number of worlds is endless. But for many mortals who can only live on a small planet for their entire lives, such a vast world actually does not mean much. The world they live in is their entire world. The world, and in the face of disasters that occur in this world, they will explode with survival power that you can't imagine - because to them, that is everything to them.

"So I want to correct your sentence, my blood descendants, you are indeed protecting them, but you are not just a protector, because protector is an overly condescending word, which means unilateral overlooking and charity, And mortals - they are more determined and powerful than you think. Even if there are no gods, they will protect their homes and inheritance, even more resolutely than you. So a more accurate statement is that you are not protecting mortals, but Working with mortals to protect their world.

"It's good that you feel you have the responsibility and obligation to protect mortals, because responsibility has always been a good quality of gods, but don't use this sense of responsibility to cover the efforts of mortals. This will blind your vision, and blindness often It’s the first step on the wrong path.”

Leah felt that she understood something. She nodded and her eyes moved slowly on the water below her feet. Universes were born and died under her gaze. Gradually, the pictures on the water changed again, and the voices in her mind It also continued to ring:

"Now let me teach you the second thing, about the parts that we cannot save. You have seen the worlds that are struggling to regenerate after the apocalypse, but in fact, it is more of these...these that failed to survive Not even a single residue is left, and can only leave a world of number plates in the archives of extinct civilizations.”

The light and shadow emerging from the water were changing rapidly, and pieces of starry sky were passing by quickly. Lia saw ruins, fragments, and ruins. There are celestial body debris floating in the universe, rugged steel ruins on the earth, and huge starships that are torn apart and floating alone in the sea of ​​clouds of gas giant planets. Those starships may mean a failed escape.

Time goes by, eroding steel and tombstones, and cities and ships are gradually weathered into dust. However, no survivors appear, and there are no descendants of civilization to rebuild these things.

There are more and more pictures like this, and the end of each group of pictures returns to darkness. A black cross mark is their final annotation. There is only one word without warmth under the mark: logged out.

Finally, Lia saw a huge cylindrical space that seemed to be floating in chaos. This space was boundless. There were countless neat square crystal lattices floating in the cylindrical area, and countless vague figures were floating in it. I am constantly moving through this space, storing certain things into each square. Under some inexplicable feeling, her sight suddenly looked in a certain direction, and the square at the end of her sight became clear in her eyes.

She saw some words floating in front of the square:

"Dream Plane-Tanagus, civilization status: extinct, archiver: Hao Ren"

Leah opened her mouth: "...I remember this name..."

"Although they have been destroyed, the creatures living in these worlds have also resisted resolutely. The lucky ones among them can still leave a few records or a few bloodlines that have been cut off, but most of them only have a number left. . Doomsday is happening every minute in the endless void. Even if the gods fight desperately and every living being in the world resists to the death, the numbered 'tombstones' left in this archive will still increase day after day. Then , do you think our efforts are still meaningful under the premise that these worlds are destined to be destroyed?"

Of course it makes sense, Leah wanted to say that, but she couldn't help but think of the negative thought she had at the beginning.

"You are hesitating because you have realized the crux of the problem," the tall figure condensed out of thin air again, and she looked quietly into Leah's eyes, "Maybe we are destined to be unable to save everything, and maybe sacrifice is inevitable, but Our battle has never been a transaction with clear benefits - mortals resist because they don't want to perish, and we fight because we don't want to watch them perish. This motivation is enough, but as for the outcome...does it make sense?"

Leah silently clenched her fists and said softly: "I think I understand."

"No, you don't fully understand yet," the Dark Valkyrie interrupted her, "because what I have told you so far are some glorious principles. Of course, the principles are useful, but the power they generate is very small. It’s limited. Next, I’m going to tell you something more practical than just principles——

"We fight and sacrifice our lives to kill an enemy. In addition to some reasonable reasons, the more important reason is-unpleasant."

Leah: "...Eh?"

"We want to protect something, but someone tries to do the opposite and destroy the thing we protect, so we will be unhappy, very, very, very unhappy. This unhappiness is the first motivation for us to decide to kill our opponent, no matter where we are. Under any circumstances, as long as this dissatisfaction still exists, there is absolutely no reason for us to stop. We must either smash the opponent into scum completely, or press the opponent to the ground and let him call his ancestor willingly, otherwise we must never stop!

"A qualified god will fight to the death after identifying his enemy. We will attack our enemy from the front, use all our strength to destroy him, crush him, crush him to ashes, and cut him into pieces. If he escapes, Then chase him to the end of the void. If he defends, then smash his defense. If he is resurrected ten thousand times, then kill him ten thousand and one times. If he dares to spread his branches, let him If your evil minions are spreading everywhere, then use up every ounce of his power, sweep away every one of his minions, dig them out from multiple dimensions, dig them out from different timelines, dig them out from the background radiation of the universe Dig it out until he regrets being born in this world - and this is the violent means necessary to achieve justice."

Leah's eyes slowly brightened.

"My blood descendant, tell me now, does that guy calling the Lord of Crazy Loudness make you unhappy?"

"Very unhappy!"

"Would you look down on your enemies just because your career has been thwarted and your achievements have been ruined?"

"Absolutely not!"

"Then, are you willing to fight for your slaughtered people and crush your enemies to ashes?"

"Very happy!"

"Very good, it seems that you are ready to seek justice," the Dark Valkyrie smiled and looked at Leia with approval, "Now turn to the first page of the textbook, lesson one, about the origin of gods. and definitions - focus on the entire text and take the exam at the end of the semester.”

Leah: "..."

In another distant 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 in the textbook will really work?"

"It will definitely work," Raven 12345 waved his hand, "Anyway, if your own mother can't do anything, then even if you really swing the meteor hammer, it will be of no use. Let's not talk about this for now, let's talk about the dark realm. …”
