Chapter 41: "Balance"
"Wow-"
The purple portal made a strange sound, and the swirling markings appeared and slowly disappeared on the light curtain of the portal, and even the light curtain was accompanied by undulating ripples and trembled, exuding a strange feeling all the time. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Even just staring at this door for a long time can make people feel dizzy.
- The appearance of this door is exactly the same as the one they stepped into when they came to this super-flat world, except that the door is placed vertically, and this door is "lying" on the ground, as if only by jumping down can they leave this world that does not belong to them.
It's the same as the "end portal", but it's not the same.
"Do you want to jump?" Xia Aya swallowed a mouthful of saliva lightly, and looked back at Su Qing, who was also staring at the portal and contemplating behind her.
"There seems to be no other choice but to jump." Su Qing pursed her lips and smiled, but she looked free and easy.
Whether this door is a portal to leave here and return to the inside of the tower, or a "trap", they don't know; Although they want to say "don't act rashly", in fact, they have no choice but to believe in this door - even if it is a trap, it is better than staying here all the time and not being able to get out.
Cowardly, they have coaxed enough, not to mention, now that their combat effectiveness has been so greatly improved, what reason do they have to continue to coax on such a trivial matter?
There's nothing wrong with cowardice; There's nothing wrong with being afraid of death; There's nothing wrong with thinking twice. This is especially true in a world full of dangers - but it's too tiring to think twice about everything you do, and to think twice about what you do.
Do what you want, go if you want to, be free and easy, and move as you like, which is the perfect life.
"Have you brought everything with you?" Su Qing looked at the backpack and asked.
Xia Aya nodded, these things have been sorted out a long time ago, and there will never be a situation where they are left behind, but just in case, it is necessary to check it before going out every time, as the so-called "it is difficult to buy a thousand dollars to look back", this is the truth.
"Then let's go~" Su Qing shouted with a smile, then grabbed Xia Aya's hand and jumped into the portal that seemed to be devouring a giant mouth.
"Ahh
A final scream echoed over the superflat grassland, and the two of them vanished in the uncomfortable dizziness and nausea they felt during the teleportation.
A world where no life exists, and no life comes, is still tirelessly rising and setting sunsets, clouds rolling - and then, in an instant, aging, dying, and fragmenting, finally turning into yet another "mini-end", engulfed by the glimmer of darkness and the sun, the terrifying master of the ender, the ender dragon, hovering in the sky.
It is better to say that this space is not actually a complete "world", it is just a microcosm of some places in the main world that has not yet been destroyed, or it may be said that it is a small independent space that "God" has "cut off" from the main world, although it still retains all kinds of natural characteristics in the main world, but after all, it lacks the kind of "spirit" that only exists in the main world, and the endless source of life.
The space that has been cut off from the Overworld will only slowly grow old and die, and will never be reborn.
This is probably the reason why this world cannot give birth to life on its own, and cannot give birth to animals and human beings - even the almost pervasive monsters that emerge from the land have never appeared.
Perhaps it is because "undead" and "life" are two opposite opposites, just like light and darkness, there is no darkness without light; Without life, the so-called undead naturally cannot be talked about.
Similarly, it is precisely because of the zombie king who "guarded" this world before and brought some undead aura to this place, that this space will automatically give birth to the aura of life, maintaining such a beautiful scenery here, maintaining this flowery and grassy scenery.
Whether it is Xia Aya or the zombie king, they are just outsiders who have been "sent" to this space, not the "aborigines" of this world, although they and the zombie king can bring some life and undead breath to this world, but with the death of the zombie king, Xia Aya and the two leave, this world, will lose this green that symbolizes life, and age at a very fast rate.
- When the portal gradually closed and disappeared, the strange purple light disappeared, but the crack that held the earth could no longer be repaired, and the soil next to the crack was still dimming at a visible rate, losing the nutrients contained in it, gradually turning into ashed soil and gradually falling off.
This is the evidence of the rundown. Compared to here, the main world where Xia Aya and the others live, the world covered by wasteland, at least has a steady stream of monsters born, and there is still a little bit of life spirit, and there is the possibility of restoring its former glory.
Although it is already dilapidated and dying, it even has to rely on the help of a "traverser" like Xia Aya Suqing to be able to survive.
The balance between life and the undead has been broken, the number of undead creatures and all kinds of monsters has increased dramatically, but human beings have gradually decreased in the slaughter of the undead, and even now it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a "rare animal"; the increasing frequency of various meteorite landings; There is no plant life on the surface of the earth......
These extreme situations indicate that time in this world is running out, and the burden on Xia Aya's shoulders is really not so easy to let go.
The breaking of the balance between the "ecological balance", the spirit of the undead and the spirit of life is a sign that the world is beginning to fall, in fact, if you think about it this way, the undead and monsters are not something that must be wiped out. After all, if the spirit of the undead disappears, then for the spirit of life, it is like a beast that has lost its natural enemies, and if the number of lives increases suddenly, the world will also be destroyed.
It's like a certain philosophy that many film and television works, especially a certain national special film, like to express: there is no absolute light, and there is no absolute darkness; There is no absolute good and evil; There is no absolute life and the dead, and only when the two coexist in balance can it be considered a complete world.
The yin and yang in the ancient Tai Chi theory of the Celestial Empire, the positive and negative in microscopic particles, and the positive matter and antimatter are all the same truth.
Of course, these things can't be understood by Xia Aya and Su Qing, who have already left this space, maybe they won't be able to understand until a long time later......
After the uncomfortable feeling of dizziness and nausea, Xia Aya and the others reappeared in the invisible and dark tower staircase, but the portal to that world in front of them had disappeared, and the endless staircase seemed to tell them that they still had a long way to go.
