Chapter 514 Lynch's Choice

Death-like silence lingered in this strange void.

Lynch closed his eyes and smoked his pipe silently. In the darkness, only a little fire flickered, like a ship light that could capsize at any time in a storm.

After an unknown amount of time, the human figure composed of starlight seemed to have made a decision, and the will transmitted was calm and unwavering, just like the endless night:

"There are differences, but the essence is similar. We all woke up this way."

"So, the appearance of the Soul-Diver is paving the way for the revival of the gods?" Lynch sighed and nodded, "The old mother hopes that her daughter can wake up smoothly, so the performance just now was just to test whether I have any use value, whether I can carry her through this journey and reach the end?"

"You might as well say it more bluntly, it's a conspiracy. That's right, when the Chosen One takes back the last exclusive divine power and finally reaches the limit of mortals, we will wake up from the depths of the Chosen One's will." The will of the goddess responded lightly, "Just now it was indeed testing your loyalty and ability. It is not easy to reach the end. Yi, there have been five failed attempts so far. I am not confident in you because you..."

"Hey, in my hometown, you will be sent knives if you break the chapter like this." Lynch rolled his eyes and asked, "After you wake up, what about the Chosen Ones themselves?"

"The souls of mortals cannot bear even one ten-thousandth of the brilliance of the Supreme Will. The moment we wake up, your will will completely dissipate."

"Completely dissipate means... the body and soul are annihilated?"

"..."The goddess of the night Nix was silent again, and after a moment, she replied lightly, "It's not that easy."

"Huh?"

"This process has been successfully repeated twelve times, but the mortals have never had any relevant records. It is normal that there are no documents, but there are no rumors. You are so smart, don't you doubt it?"

Lynch bit his pipe tightly.

He thought that the Lord God Church deliberately erased this process, but judging from the other party's attitude, it was obviously not the reason.

"Dissipation means dissipation. Not only the body and spirit will be annihilated, but all traces of existence will be wiped out. The Supreme Will will disperse everything of the Chosen One at that moment. In the past, present, and future, the Chosen One has never existed, at least in the cognition of mortal beings."

Hu~~~Lin Qi exhaled a long puff of smoke, leaned back on the chair and looked up at the darkness above his head.

"I have answered your question, so what? What do you want to say?"

"Oh."

"???" There was an obvious fluctuation in consciousness, and more obvious doubts, "What do you mean?"

"Literally, it means I know." Lin Qi asked back calmly, "Otherwise, what do you think my reaction should be, furious? Rolling on the ground and crying? Cursing and swearing? I have also experienced big scenes, so I won't have the kind of performance that is inconsistent with my age and intelligence. Besides, to be fair, I don't think there is anything wrong with this. You should be able to sense that I am not making excuses."

"..."

"Someone said, All the gifts of fate have actually been secretly marked with a price. I have never doubted the correctness of this sentence. There is no love without reason in the world. Returns must be accompanied by efforts. You just said that I did not use the word "conspiracy". I deliberately did not use it because I do not think your behavior should be belittled. It is not a conspiracy, but at most a transaction. You open your secrets to the living beings and teach the living beings to follow your footsteps. You have indeed given the living beings the most powerful weapon to fight against the mystery, and billions of living beings have benefited endlessly. So even if you have the possibility of profiting from it, you deserve it. Whether the benefactor benefits or not is never a reason for the beneficiary to be ungrateful or even hate. "

" ..."

"But the above is only true for all living beings. In my opinion, the only thing worth criticizing about your behavior is that it is unfair to those chosen by God. Although for normal adults, when receiving gifts, they should think about the price and reason, they did not think that in my hometown, greed makes people lose their minds, so they are also responsible for the final outcome, but you still deceived them and took advantage of their trust in you. Ha, this kind of concealment and even deception is the most unacceptable, Aunt Nix, am I right?"

"...Yes, but I don't understand, since you know it's just my test, you will definitely not die, Why did you reveal that you had discovered that she was lying to you about wanting to revive through your existence? "Goddess Nix asked faintly, "Although it is ridiculous to understand the kinship between gods with the kinship of living beings, it also has certain reference significance. You don't think that the 'old mother' you mentioned will let you wake up alive after you are exposed, or do you think that this is just a dream, and with Luna's protection, I can't do anything to you? "

"Look, you have exposed the fact that she and you are not colluding. Aunt Nix." Lynch slowly exhaled a puff of smoke and chuckled, "And did you misunderstand something? When did I say that she lied to me. "

"? ? ? "

"For some reason, she did hide a lot of things from me, but she told me almost explicitly from the beginning that there was a problem here, and it was a big problem. Otherwise, I would not be the all-knowing Yog-Sothoth. , how could she guess so accurately and guess the answer right away, so she has never lied to me, and she has reminded me many times, but she has not said it explicitly. In addition, she also put the right of choice in front of me. I don't need to consider her favor to me. I can completely ignore my identity as the Chosen One and live as an ordinary soul-shifter until I die or until I am swallowed by the mystery. I chose this path myself, not her help. I chose it.”

The silence lasted for an extra long time this time. It wasn't until Lin Qi almost fell asleep that the voice of the gods entered his brain again: "So, you actually already know everything, but you still choose to continue to help her? Do you want to sacrifice yourself? Everything to resurrect her.”

"Huh? No, I'm not a fanatical believer. Wait, there is no precedent for this among the twelve chosen ones. I already know that I really want to but would rather sacrifice." Seeing that the goddess refused to answer, Lin Qi Sighing, "It seems true, but I'm not that great. Although I will fight tooth and nail when something happens, I won't sacrifice myself for the sake of illusory beliefs."

"and you……"

"Before I embarked on this path, she made a promise to me. She had other ways to avoid a bad ending. I would inherit Hong Yue's divine power, but she had other consequences. Of course, if normal people think about it, this is very likely It was to stabilize my excuse or deception, but I don't think so. She has countless ways to make me believe her. There is no need to go to such trouble. She would choose such an awkward way. I would rather believe that she is such an awkward person. . I have said it repeatedly just now, and I chose to believe that she would not jump again and again.”

"What if you believe it wrong?"

"It's my choice, idol, and I accept the outcome calmly."

Lynch finally succeeded in making a goddess fall into confusion: "Then what do you want to talk about today?"

"One is to tell the truth, so that the old mother can rest assured, lest you always target me in the future." Lin Qi frowned slightly and suddenly became serious, "The other is that I want to ask what means she will use to avoid the worst. result?"

"Um?"

"Or is there really such a way to have the best of both worlds? If I eventually become immortal, what about her? Where will her fate be?"
