Chapter XXXVI Application for Death

“…… Hey? ”

Faced with May's doubts, the girl smiled and patted May's shoulder affectionately, before explaining to her, "The gods are immortal...... This is our most basic, but also the most fundamental ability, is the last power we rely on to travel through the world, this is also the most envied power of the traverser, with the blessing of the gods, we are immortal, and we will stop growing and aging after growing to our strongest and most perfect young adulthood, but ...... You've probably heard of it, and he is the oldest group of gods in existence, right? Then the question arises, since he is the oldest group of gods in existence, what about the group of gods who should be in the same period as him? Where have they gone? ”

“…… Hey? May's eyes widened slightly, she really never seemed to think about it.

"Because they're all dead." Touya said, shrugging her shoulders, but there was no sad expression on her face, which was indeed a bit abnormal for the united gods, but May didn't care, she was already attracted by what Touya said.

"Why? Aren't we god-favored ones immortal? May was puzzled.

"It's true, we are not old, we are not dead, even if we are broken into thousands of pieces and burned to ashes, we will immediately be resurrected in the big world without damage, but can this cover up our essence?" Tou Ye asked rhetorically.

May was still a little confused, but then went on to explain: "Even though we are called gods, quasi-gods, and so on, even in terms of persons, this does not change our essence in the slightest, which is fundamentally ...... Mankind. ”

“……”

She smiled and said, "Our lives are long and endless, but is longevity really a good thing?" Maybe for a while there is no need to worry about the exhaustion of life and death, but what about a hundred years and two hundred years, a thousand years and two thousand years? The Xu Fu in [Fengyun] has lost interest in almost everything after only a thousand years, let alone us? After all, human beings such as us are not immortal, and the lifespan of the gods is not even comparable to the real immortal species, for some people, perhaps, living is no longer a gift from the gods, but a kind of torture......"

May was completely speechless.

"You're still too young (by the way, May is about seven hundred years old at this time) to understand this kind of thing, but as the things you experience gradually increase, and all kinds of magnificent events pass through one by one, gradually those things will no longer stir your heart, and it will be difficult for your emotions to rise and fall again, because - you have long been commonplace, and at this time, how can you, who are no longer interested in things, face that endless time?"

This is indeed true, just like after seeing Yongyue's punch to destroy the seed of mutation, May is no longer thrilled by the oppression of the previous red world, and this kind of thing has been experienced a lot......

As if with emotion, he said, "For us, time wears out not the body, but the mind...... Therefore, after too much time, we finally feel miserable about our lives, and we choose to ask our gods to end our long lives......"

"But, but, in this case, it will ...... our gods" May's face was a little strange, and a scene seemed to come to her mind, which was still young but tired, and proposed to end her life to Moyuki......

Maybe I'm relieved, but what about Muryuki? This must be a very serious injury, and you have to do the damage to that treasure with your own hands...... She shuddered!

"Who says it's not......" Tou Ye spread his hands, with a helpless face: "But you can't understand that feeling now, obviously the last thing you need to cherish is time, but every second passes as painful as a year, as if you are suffering all the time...... After a long time, even if you know that this will cause trauma to the people you value most, there is still no way, thankfully...... Forget it, it's all off topic to say this, and it's exactly this that I want to warn you...... Don't think that death is nothing to us, but even if we die, we will be resurrected, but can it really be said that it is undamaged? ”

“…… What do you mean? May frowned, already having a bad premonition in her heart, and soon, the premonition was confirmed.

This means that every time we die, the wear and tear of our minds accelerates, which means that our death is approaching. The replenishment of the gods depends entirely on the feelings of the gods themselves, and they have decided that then we will have one more companion, and if they are unwilling, then the gods will only maintain the current number, in fact, in recent years, the number of gods has been slowly declining......" Tou Ye said, and quickly shrugged his shoulders again: "Ah, it's off topic again, but I just want to tell you that the resurrection is not without a price, strictly speaking, this kind of wear and tear of the mind is not a damage to the heart, It's because we've experienced too much to make our minds more mature, so it won't be repaired by the system, it's ridiculous, right? The more mature a person becomes, the more painful he feels, and thankfully, we still have this last resort, the death petition. ”

"Alas......" May sighed, but quickly put it behind her and smiled, "I see, but compared to those who travel through it, this kind of trouble is really a luxury. ”

Tou Ye also laughed: "That's right." ”

"Oh yes......" May suddenly remembered someone: "In that case, Uncle Motor......"

"Motors...... This guy can live until now due to his character, even among the gods, he is also known for his good temper and gentle personality, which also leads to his insensitivity to time, and as a result, he has survived and become such an old antique as he is now...... However, even if this is the case, I guess he is about the same...... I guess it won't be long before he will file a death request. ”

Passing through the night said indifferently, looking at death very lightly, maybe she knew that for such a companion, death was really just a relief, but soon she sighed: "But in fact, I'm almost the same, I guess the next one after the motor application is me......"

"What......" May felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, whether it was a motor or a night, she was actually very fond of her, both of them took care of her like a senior, the former was her guide, taking care of a lot, and the latter Although she didn't see it much, she was deeply impressed by her personality and bearing: "...... When? ”

Through the night continued to sigh: "Probably, in another seven or eight thousand years, people are old and tired of living......"

May: "......"
