Todd was a little confused: "You mean, I entered this world by accident?"

"If your inference is correct, then your presence in this world cannot be accidental," Rachel said. ”

Todd closed his eyes and said as he recalled, "My last memory in my past life was death caused by an accident, and I always thought it was a coincidence. However, if it was Jingsu's intention to bring me into this world as an experimental subject, then this matter would be too unbelievable. I mean, why me, I'm just an ordinary person, nothing special. ”

"You see yourself this way, but that doesn't mean others see it that way. Richer laughed and said, "But like you said, it's all speculation. In a sense, Jingsu is the creator of this world, and our thoughts and purposes can only be speculated. ”

Todd sighed: "Maybe the experiments and observations I just talked about are just my speculation, everything is just my cranky thoughts. ”

After thinking for a while, Rachel continued: "Actually, you don't need to be in a hurry to deny your guess, according to the historical materials I have compiled in the library, there is a lot of evidence to support your guess. Anything else, if, let's assume, everything is really as you say, and Jingsu doesn't care about the outcome of the Chosen Battle, he doesn't care who the winner is, he's just conducting an experiment, then what should we do?"

Todd took a sip of Coke, felt the chill in his mouth, and said slowly, "First of all, we must win the battle of the Chosen One. If a careerist or a madman wins and becomes a god, the whole world will only enter another vicious circle and eventually perish. ”

Rachel agreed.

"Second, after gaining the power of the gods, you must work with the Precursors to create a world with racial control mechanisms. For example, the balance of fate, the measurement of good and evil, the kingdom of the soul, etc., with a perfect management system, to minimize the possibility of the end of the world, these are also the direction I am working towards. ”

Richer nodded, "A world with control mechanisms that can restrain the behavior of individual races, so that the end can be delayed to the greatest extent. However, there is one last problem, what can we do if Jingsu actively triggers the end of the world?"

"I think there are two prerequisites for Crystal to trigger the apocalypse, one is that someone is attacking the Beacon Tower, and the other is that he is tired of the world and decides to reset everything. ”

"The former is easy to solve, as long as you don't destroy the beacon tower, but the latter ...... It is necessary to understand what the ultimate appeal of this experiment is. ”

"Only when we understand the ultimate goal of Jingsu can we negotiate with him and reach a consensus to continue the whole world. ”

Rachel brushed her hair: "I've spent most of my time in the library for the past few years. Let me tell you about some of the things I found, according to the three conditions for Jingsu to launch the Chosen War, the god selected, according to the records recorded in the annals, whether it is Odin in the age of the gods, or the celestial descendant of the era of the two realms, or the Venerable Master of the corona era, these gods are concerned with the expansion of power, territory and believers, and there has never been a god who has the wisdom to think about the continuation of the race and the maintenance of the world. ”

"Odin's greed for pleasure, indulgence and hard work, excessive consumption of resources, ignoring the warnings of the Crystal Residence, and finally ushered in Ragnarok; the Celestial Descendants were arrogant, wanton expansion, and used bloody suppression to enslave other races, and finally were attacked by other races, and had to use doomsday weapons to usher in a war of annihilation; Venerable Master used spiritual power and religious pressure to control the Corona Empire for more than 2,700 years, and finally because of fear and greed, he kept grabbing spiritual power and ended up going crazy. ”

Rachel said softly: "Todd, do you see? These gods chosen by Jingsu have infinite power, and they may be at first oriented towards others, but over time, they will inevitably begin to become selfish, greedy, and tyrannical. ”

Todd closed his eyes: "Jingsu didn't choose a savior. ”

Rachel shook her head vigorously and whispered, "Todd, you didn't understand what I meant. ”

Looking at the other party's puzzled face, Rachel was silent for a long time, and finally looked into Todd's eyes and asked slowly, "Todd, do you really believe in such a thing as the Eternal Empire?"

Todd didn't react for a moment: "What?"

"Todd, I understand your thoughts, neither monarchy nor democracy can guarantee the smooth continuation of the country. So, you've found the first mover, you've worked with them, and you've designed a system for the whole world that works forever and can't make mistakes, but is it really that simple?"

Todd said helplessly: "Reichell, just say what you think, don't take into account my feelings." ”

Rachel gritted her teeth and said, "It seems to me that nothing is eternal, and even truth dries up and fades with the passage of time. ”

"I agree that you don't believe in the king and that a person loses his heart as he gets older, and you don't believe in the people, who are susceptible to demagoguery and self-destruction. But if you put your hope in the precursors and the laws of heaven, won't that go wrong?"

"You once told me that the Leviathan once openly defied the orders of the Crystal in order to defend the Sea Race. So in the future, will he change and change the laws of heaven that you and the forerunners have made in order to protect his children?"

Without waiting for Todd to speak, Rachel continued: "As for the laws of heaven in your mouth, use the two extreme weights of good and evil to measure everything in the world...... However, there are some things—feelings, honor, fate, responsibility, cause and effect—that cannot be simply digitized in terms of good and evil. ”

Todd waited for Rachel to finish, and said with a wry smile, "I understand what you said. ”

"Then why are you so persistent, as long as we solve the mystery of the passage of the beacon tower, we can leave this world forever, and everything here will no longer ...... with us"

Todd interrupted her, "Ringel, listen to me...... I, as a human being, have experienced the beauty of life, and I have also witnessed the dead silence of the end times. This cycle of world destruction is like a haunting nightmare that has been haunting my heart. ”

"Years ago, Dusk West was a barren land, and even the poorest farmers didn't want to settle there. And now, it has become a jewel in this world, and it may even open up an era of flowers. ”

"But when I think that this city, this kingdom, may fall and perish, my heart aches like a needle. ”

Todd shook Rachel's hand: "I know that the Precursors also have an emotional side, that there is an element of instability in their souls, and I also know that the laws of heaven are not perfect, and they have many drawbacks. However, after the successive failures of the monarchy and the path of democracy, the path of the law of heaven is the only path I can try at the moment. ”

"Leviathan, though hostile to humans, understands that racial diversity is the trend of the times, and can only be guided, not biased, and as a chronicler of history, Skaha has seen the rise and fall of countless empires, and she knows how to set the rules to maintain the maximum balance. ”

In addition, the two of them are also actively looking for those lost forerunners, hoping to contact them and work together to maintain the stability of the world. ”

Todd sighed faintly: "The laws of heaven look very rough now, and that system of either good and evil really cannot accurately measure the value of the soul and judge the inner nature of things. ”

However, thanks to the efforts of Skaha, Leviathan, and their creations, this law is being perfected. For example, the soul memories between people begin to gradually form a link, one thing has a bad effect on this person, but it has a good fortune on others, and this information will have an impact on the soul judgment, and the laws of heaven begin to tend to be more comprehensive and precise. Everything in Heaven is slowly but steadily advancing, and although no one knows whether those changes are good or bad, I and the forerunners are working hard to continue on this untraveled path. ”

Todd gave Richer a gentle kiss on the forehead, "I know very well that the path I'm walking now may just be a pointless struggle. The torrent of history will eventually destroy all civilizations, and everything will end wherever it begins. But, Richell, you know, when we get old, before we die, when I close my eyes, I just don't want to regret that I gave up on one chance to fight for lasting peace in this world...... Even if, even if the probability of success of this opportunity is less than 1 in 10,000......"

Rachel sealed Todd's mouth with her lips, and two lines of tears slowly slid down her cheeks.

"No matter where this road ends, no matter whether our efforts are rewarded or not, I will accompany you all the way. ”

"Todd, remember my promise. ”
