Chapter 49: The So-called Immortality (It's Cold, Everyone Pay Attention to the Cold)
It's cold, so be careful not to catch a cold. I suddenly dropped ten degrees here, and the temperature was sleet at one point, and I was dizzy and dizzy in an instant. Remember to wear more clothes, you should turn on the air conditioner, you should turn on the air conditioner! I am frozen into a stupid dog today, and I don't want to move at all. Even the train of thought was frozen.
Li Jie was thinking about his place in history, but Carrie had already made a request: "I hope this big man stays here with me, so that I can study him and his hammer well, and then find the reason why our appetite is so big." ”
Li Jie thought about it for a while and felt that it was not impossible. But he felt he needed to know more. For example, what kind of god is this girl named Carrie, where did she come from, why did she come to Earth, and so on.
Li Jie has not forgotten that there is a so-called son of the gods in the sun. Even if the gods and Zhang Heng made an oath back then, saying that it was a matter of giving the earth a million years, it was not certain if something went wrong with this agreement. And this girl said that she was one of the few remaining gods, so what could she ask about?
"Wait, Miss Carrie. It's not out of the question of letting Thor stay here. But can you tell us a little bit about where you came from? You haven't even said where you're from, why you're here, and so on. Li Kit's question to Carrie. As for the unilateral decision to let Thor stay here for Carrie to study or something, Li Jie felt that Thor would not care. After all, there are a lot of delicious foods here, and Carrie seems to have a common topic with Thor who is overeating, and the two of them can discuss whether vegetable cream or animal cream is better together.
Carrie looked at Li Jie for a while, as if she was thinking about whether she should tell Li Jie about herself. It took her a long time before she said, "Well, you're a superhero on Earth, right?" It's also normal to be wary of some outsiders. Actually, it's nothing if I tell you again. Carrie didn't seem to think that she couldn't say anything about her origins, because from her point of view, Li Kit and the others, including the earth, were just a grain of sand in her life. If you're strong enough to live for an unknown number of billions of years, you'll probably do the same.
"I told you, I'm a god. I don't want to explain too much about the origin of the gods, but you can understand that we are the original life forms of the universe. Once upon a time our race was very strong, and there were many, many of our kind. They were once as numerous as the stars. But because of some things, they are very, very rare now. ”
As a true god, Jiali knew more about the gods than Li Jie could have known about the gods from the mouth of the ancient mage.
"There are probably only a few hundred of my people scattered around the universe. But I haven't seen them in many, many years. "The many, many years that Jiali said should be really many years, not ten years, not a hundred years, that should be calculated in hundreds of millions of years.
"So I don't know exactly how much they have left. Maybe there are dozens more. Carrie's words were relaxed and natural.
Thor ate almonds and said, "Why do I see that you don't seem to be sad at all about the loss of your companion?
Carrie shrugged her shoulders naturally: "Why be sad? Nothing lasts forever, even the so-called immortality is only relative." I am immortal to human beings, even to you, yes, the big man, the new god, I am immortal. How long can you live? about 5,000 years? And I can live you for an unknown number of 10,000 times. Your life is only a moment for me. From your point of view, yes, I am immortal and eternal. It's like the gap between the microcosm and the macrocosm. For example, those bacteria that only exist for 30 seconds in your body will be born, grow, divide, grow old, and die in 30 seconds. For them, you, the hosts, are also eternal and immortal. ”
"Of course, you might say that bacteria are not intelligent creatures without minds. But have you really entered the finer microcosms, microcosms beyond your imagination? A flower is a world, a moment is eternal. ”
"For bacteria you are the macrocosm, they are the microcosm. And for the whole universe, you are just bacteria that grow on the universe, the universe is macrocosm, you are microcosm. And the gods are nothing more than a form between the macrocosm and the microcosm. If you want to be a member of the macro, you have to be a part of it. But what's the point?" Carrie smiled, a smile that was meaningful.
Although Carrie is a god, she seems to be very straightforward and cute, and she doesn't have the feeling of looking up to other beings as ants.
"Because life is really long, I cherish those lives that are easy to pass away. Especially those who have wisdom and want to shine in a short life. I love the plots in TV dramas and cartoons on Earth, fighting for ideals and whatever. For example, participating in the National High School Basketball League and then dominating the country or something. It makes me feel that life is interesting and meaningful. As I said, the gods lived long enough. When they deserve to die, then die. No big deal. The quest for eternity and immortality is an unanswerable philosophical question. ”
As a member of the gods, Carrie naturally said: "If you feel that you need to live with the whole universe for a long time, then you need to give up all free will incarnation and become part of the rules of the universe." I know there are people in the gods who do this. For example, eternity, such as annihilation, such as death, and infinity, and so on. They have become an abstract being, no longer a living form in itself, but a part of the rules of the universe itself. They can probably live forever with the universe, but I don't think their lives are very interesting, because they can't even enjoy the wonderful touch on the tip of their tongue when they eat soufflé!"
As a foodie, Carrie regrets not being able to taste the food. If you can't eat all kinds of delicious food, then what's the point of being born as a god?
"So, is this your original form?" Li Jie looked at the cute looking Jiali and said seriously, because the kind of question about eternity that Jiali said just now was too philosophical, and Li Jie didn't want to discuss it at all. Because he cannot make any judgment about the ultimate answer to this universe. Let's keep your humility in front of a god. But if Carrie is a god, is her current image as a human real? Or is it just a disguise?
What does a real god look like? Li Jie was a little curious.
And Jiali waved her hand: "Of course not, I am a god! How can I look exactly like a human." Although human beings are essentially a group of creatures created by the gods with their own genes, we are still a little different. ”
"So can you see what you look like? Li Jie made a seemingly unreasonable request. But Carrie was very generous: "Of course it's no problem, you see it." I'm going to transform!"
Li Jie and Thor swallowed, they were about to see what a god really looked like!
