Chapter 55: The Price of Eternal Life—The End
Chen Chen didn't speak, and Atlas seemed to be recalling something, everyone quieted down, and finally Atlas smiled and said: "I'm sorry, people will have a lot of emotions when they get older, and they hide in Tibet every day, but people don't take me to heart at all, look at your treatment as soon as you appear, and look at how many centuries I have lived in the world?" It's tragic to think about. ”
"I wish they had treated me like a little fish, so at least I wouldn't be hunted down all the time." Hearing Atlas's envy, Chen Chen rolled his eyes, he didn't feel that there was anything good about being taken seriously.
"Haha, I know! But you won't understand, a person who has been thinking about revenge, and finally finds that his resentment and efforts have not hurt others at all, and he is not even qualified to make the enemy remember him, what kind of feeling is it, there is no sense of zài. Atlas's tone was a little low.
"You don't have to be sad, you have a chance to counterattack if you are despised, otherwise you will be cut down early, then there is still your little life?"
"Yes! In the end, I really waited for their end, the real battle of the gods, the extent of the implication is amazing, almost all the natural gods in the world have been implicated, only the East survived, very strange! It seems that no Eastern deity has ever appeared in the West. Atlas had a slight look of happiness on his face, as if he was paying attention to the big battle.
"You know about the big war? Have you seen it? ”
"Of course! I've seen the fate of most gods, either fallen or slumbered, or banished to another dimension. Nowhere to be found. I saw with my own eyes what happened to Zeus! Abandoned by the will of the universe! And then the entire Olympian Protoss followed suit. It's all sealed. ”
Atlas laughed uncontrollably when he said this, he was even happier when he saw this scene than he is now, and even laughed wildly in the sea for three days, and finally fell asleep after exhausting himself.
"So what is the purpose of the will of the universe? Wasn't Zeus his subordinate? Chen Chen was very puzzled.
"Of course it's his men, but don't you know what a cunning rabbit dead lackey is? Now that the heir to the civilization most likely to interfere with the movement of time has been killed, and the continent has sunk, the Protoss used to deal with him has naturally become the next unsettling factor and must be addressed. ”
"Zeus was not killed, but he was sealed, which is already good. At least they can still live, high up to be their gods, compared to the Norse gods are much more miserable, by the way, your rune must be the famous immortal rune left by Odin, it is said that with this rune even if it is dead, it will be resurrected, but unfortunately I didn't find it back then. ”
Atlas looked at the body's chest, as if to see through it, and then took out the rune.
"Huh! Let's talk about the fate of the Norse gods and the secret of eternal life~ I prefer to hear these secrets. Chen Chen hurriedly pulled the topic aside.
Atlas didn't care about Chen Chen's change of topic, anyway, he didn't necessarily know the origin of the fast rune, because his father had already dissipated forever.
"Know Ragnarok?" Atlas asked.
"Of course! I've read books! Somewhat know. ”
"Reading a book? Huh, the history of mankind? It has long been tampered with beyond recognition by that guy Jesus. Ragnarok is the embodiment of the will of the universe, and the poison dragon Nidhogg under the World Tree is the will of the universe. As early as the birth of the Norse gods, it was already in the layout, and then it led to the destruction of the world tree, the release of the evil god Loki, and the war of the gods began. ”
"Wait! I'm not interested in anything else, what I want to know is what that World Tree looks like. Chen Chen suddenly thought of the tree he had picked up, of course he wouldn't admit that he had taken it, there was no owner's thing on a desert island, this was actually picked up.
"World Tree! That's another world, you know! I have studied the structure of the Norse god system, and found that it is completely different from our Olympian gods, it is nine independent worlds born in turn with the main body of the world tree as the structure, but at the same time they are also the same. ”
"The tree has fallen, and it is said that there is a seed left at the end, so I don't know where it is, but you can try to find it, and there may be a surprise." It's not hard to hear Atlas's teasing.
"Who knows! Are you saying that the tree is thought of in the nine worlds? Wouldn't it become a god of the nine worlds with it? "Chen Chen's problem is not a problem in Atlas's opinion.
"Of course, it's just that you have to be careful of the calculations of the will of the universe, Odin died like this back then, and he didn't even have a chance to be resurrected."
"That's it! That's all it takes to say Nordic! Let's talk about the immortality of the water in your fishpond! I'm interested. Chen Chen rubbed his hands and said excitedly.
"It's not a good thing." Atlas said with a wry smile before beginning the narrative.
"At the beginning of Atlantis, people were harmonious, friendly, and the social atmosphere was positive, but later more and more technology was developed, and people began to become lazy, arrogant, irritable, and unenterprising.
"You know that absolute power is born of absolute corruption, people are sinking, and the emergence of cyborgs has exacerbated this situation, everyone began to become cruel and aggressive, at first it was just a small-scale battle, and in the end anyway, the soldiers were cyborgs and worthless, so the war got bigger and bigger, and gradually implicated the ten countries, and finally the death of the first native Atlantean, completely ignited the final war."
Speaking of which, Atlas's spirit was a little trance-like, and he seemed to see the flames of war again.
"I am one of the survivors of that war, the last surviving Atlanteans are less than 10,000, the rest are all cyborgs with our genes, due to the small number of personnel, biochemical technology began to transform into the work of life research, after a sneak attack on a god, studied their genes, discovered the mystery of their immortality, and then did not have enough resistance to the temptation of immortality, all the Atlanteans began to mutate."
"At first, people were very happy, the wish for eternal life has been fulfilled, even if there is no power of God, but we have the lifespan of God, and with a continent like Atlantis, we can go back to a carefree life, but we think too simply, God's genes are really not something that can be stolen casually, and the sequelae have appeared."
"At first, it was just that there were fewer and fewer newborns, but it didn't attract relative attention, thinking that it was just the cause of the population base, but in the end we found that the longer the time passed, the fewer new lives, and the earlier it ended up being completely gone, do you know what this means for a race? The severance of the bloodline. ”
Atlas was undoubtedly sad, and despite all the years that had passed since the blow, the grief of the extinction of the dead still left scars on his body.
"Too bad, haven't you figured out anything about it?" Chen Chen asked.
"So you didn't think about it? All the scientific researchers studied day and night, but there was no effect, and finally everyone stopped sadly, everyone stopped entertaining, and the entire native humans of Atlantis began to be in the twilight, everyone lost confidence in the future life, there were no newborns, no one got married, and everyone locked themselves in the house. ”
"People began to become more and more withdrawn, gradually there was no one on the street anymore, and gradually everyone lost their confidence in life, and the last thing made everyone decide one thing, that is, a person committed suicide in his own home, he ordered his cyborg servant to break her heart, forced by the iron law of supremacy of the master's order, the cyborg did it, he died! He died with a smile, and in the suicide note he left behind, everyone saw his joy, and he even said that maybe Atlantis really shouldn't have appeared in the world, and our existence itself was a mistake. ”
"After that, Atlantis ushered in a little strange prosperity, people were in a hurry, they all did everything they could, and then chose to commit suicide one night, every day someone died, there were various ways to die, no one knew when they would choose to die, and finally under the auspices of the only fish-man royal family, the council organized a vote, which was a resolution on whether to sink Atlantis."
"And what is the result of the vote?" Chen Chen asked with concern.
"Didn't you see that? Atlantis is at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, and now that he thinks that this is all the control of the will of the universe, how can God be so easy to kill? And also gave us the corpse, in the end, the continent chose to sink the only royal family did not die with everyone, he chose to protect the sunken Atlantis, and I, because of the resentment in my heart, with a heart of revenge, chose to come to the world. ”
"It seems that the fish-man royal family who chose to protect is the ancestor of Wisconsta, although I don't know how he got offspring, it should be that he finally found a way to have offspring, look at his body to leave a memory for me, it should be after he retired from the skin, of course he is a royalty, maybe it is his unique ability, these can not be cared about, that guy has no ability to live forever after giving up his power, I don't know how long he has been dead."
Chen Chen thought! But something suddenly came to mind, and it didn't feel right! No wonder I did it so many times with Catherine and Zheng Xiuyan without safety measures, but there was no fart, it turned out to be this thing! Fortunately, now I have followed the Godhead to another place, if this is still on my body, then I must not cry to death, at this time Chen Chen is very happy. (To be continued......)
