Chapter 1711: Light and Shadow
In Lu Xi's field of vision, the subspace in the Aether Ark, the surrounding turbidity that could not be seen directly, and the corpse of Master Rassell were all blurred in an instant.
The blurry scene didn't last long. Soon, the glorious halo that came from nowhere was thrown into it, and soon all the gloom and chaos were dispelled.
The scenery in front of Lu Xi's eyes suddenly brightened, and he soon found himself in a golden grassland.
This gold is not a color, but a certain holy and brilliant aura that shimmers in this world all the time. Unknown gorgeous flowers bloom on the meadows, decorating the grasslands with extraordinarily gorgeous decorations. The fragrance of the flowers, the freshness of the grass is refreshing.
The sky was a pale blue that was so clean that it was unblemished, cloudless. The sun and the moon hung in the sky at the same time, one brilliant and majestic, the other elegant and quiet. Countless stars are faintly hidden behind the golden sunlight and silver moonlight, but they still exude their own charm.
I've been to this place before, and it's really nostalgic! Lu Xi thought.
“…… It's a pity that it's fake. He turned his head and said to the figure that appeared not far behind him.
"After all, I am just an ancient fragment, how can I be in the true Pure Land of Bliss." The other party said quietly, with a hint of amazement in his voice.
"Well, then, what should I call it? Future Lady? The villain? Still is...... Goddess Fein? Lu Xi looked at the other man's face carefully, and quickly connected it with the paintings and statues. Of course, it is not the works that have been distorted that have been handed down in later generations, but the ones I have seen in the Nebula Palace, and many of them are even done by the Golden King Gil Salad himself.
The king of heroes who completely ended the mythical era is a hopeless sister who controls the second disease, and the scumbag is not aware of the reserve pig's trotters, but I have to admit that he is really controlling his sister, and his skills in painting and carving are indeed really excellent. At least, the lover on the work he left behind is no different from the woman in front of him, both in appearance and figure, and even a hint of charm in his smile and demeanor are captured.
In the Age of Mythology, some idle kings came up with the selection of the most beautiful goddesses in the heavenly realm, and the other party was the final winner. Of course, Lu Xi has seen the jade faces of the three goddesses, Elune, Nadia and Pallas, and thinks that the beauty of any of them is beyond the limits of mortal imagination and language locks, so who is qualified to comment? In this way, the only social significance of this so-called selection is to become a historical anecdote tens of thousands of years later.
However, Lu Xi now has to admit that just by appearance, the other party is indeed qualified to become the so-called "most beautiful goddess", at least the group ridicule rate of being a champion will not be too high.
The fair skin is clear and warm, as if flowing with spiritual light; The delicate features are imbued with sculptural beauty, as if carved according to the most precise scales and proportions; The eyes are fragrant rainbow colors, just like the description in ancient books that "the eyes of the goddess reflect the rainbow bridge across the sky".
Fortunately, the hair is not colorful after all, and it will change according to the mood or something...... Lu Xi thought.
She has a very typical human appearance, but because her beauty is too inhuman, it lacks a sense of reality.
Just, is that all?
Beauty is beautiful, but if it is the fuse that triggered the end of the mythological era, the opening of the war of the gods, the second creation and other major events, the eternal white moonlight of the golden king Gil Salad or something, that Su was so much that Mary Sue who couldn't stand up was set up by Sue, but he always felt that something was missing.
"So, call you the Holy See?" Lu Xi said again.
"It's okay to be a Great Demon King, too, but please don't call me by that great name. As I said, I'm just an ancient soul fragment after all, and I don't have the right to call myself that. There is no doubt that she has fallen more than 20,000 years ago. It's just that her ideals, her beliefs, her emotions, and all the bonds between her and this world have caused a divergence between her soul and will. Before her spirit was annihilated and she fell into the eternal sleep of the gods, the last divine power projected all her memories and turned them into a body of thoughts, and she was now me. She smiled.
Yes, her breath, her presence, and even the fluctuations of her life and soul that she is currently displaying, are indeed real, but they are not so stable. Others may not be able to see it, but how can a person with a transcendent perception like Lu Xi not feel this slightest sense of disobedience.
I see...... How can the vitality and spiritual strength of the soul be compared with the ontology. In this case, of course, it is impossible to show its true charm. It's also understandable, after all, appearance is only a part of charm, or "beauty", and the rest can only be held by interesting souls.
"So, Master Rassell, and my old enemies, do you know?" Lu Xi asked.
"Yes!" The mind body replied calmly.
Lu Xi's eyes were a little gloomy, and he sighed: "It's a pity." ”
"Russell has his natural choice, and he has the consciousness to bear the consequences, and that's a pity. I knew what he was up to, so I made it a little easier for him. ”
"No, it's a shame." Lu Xi repeated it again, and his voice was a little heavier: "I originally thought that I had met my predecessors, and I wanted to discuss more, but when I think about it, I didn't read the anthology of the obvious Taizu carefully, and made the mistake of dogmatism, if it is the deity, I still want to lose a few sentences, but since it is a replica, there is really nothing to discuss." Whatever you and the organization you are really trying to do, we are already enemies! So ......"
Lu Xi naturally drooped the two brilliant artifacts in his hands, and the ground under his feet and the void behind him floated a magic array.
"Eh, wait, why are you going to do it? Well, I'm not saying it's wrong. However, according to common sense, shouldn't we sit down and discuss the past, present and future? Shouldn't I be seriously confiding in you about my tragic past and grand goals, and by the way, whitewashing myself? Every supervillain is full of charm, more vivid and addictive than the protagonist, and these charms are brought about by history and ideals, isn't this the standard setting? She said loudly.
"What year did you wear it?" This typical RPG setting in Zone 11 is really homey. Lu Xi frowned and showed a disgusted expression.
"You, you're embarrassed to talk about me, the typical setting of a painting woman and a man. What the hell is District 11? Is it that island nation? ”
"Well, good, I've guessed your time." Lu Xi nodded, waved his staff, and countless energy missiles of the Primordial Law had already popped out in the magic circle on his side.
"Eh, so is it really going to start? I really want to talk to juniors from the same world. It's been more than 20,000 years...... Well, if you count the time of the ontology, it will be at least seventy or eighty thousand years, and I am also very lonely. What I created this organization for, and what I envision for the future, aren't you really curious at all? ”
"Then you say, I'll listen." Lu Xi said expressionlessly.
"So the young man you were already so two-faced at that time?" The other party glanced at Lu Xi and expressed such emotions with his eyes. She probably wanted to complain, but she couldn't help laughing out loud and said, "Well, it's good that the junior from the same world is an interesting type, otherwise I would be very troubled." ”
"What's the trouble? Besides, my predecessor is dead, so you're a deteriorated clone, a little self-aware. ”
"Wow, that's getting too much." However, in the face of such a direct insult, the other party did not show too fierce reaction, and the smile on his face showed no signs of loosening or even stiffening at all, and said: "I said, I am truly a mind body split from the soul of Goddess Fein, and I can exist until now because I have divinity. I have all her memories and even ideals, or it would be better to describe it as obsession. ”
She paused, and then said: "Goddess Feiyin, who is about to leave this world, finally realizes that everything she is in has failed, she has already anticipated the catastrophe of heaven and earth that is about to be set off, and she also realizes that the world after the catastrophe, even if it can be reborn, will actually only go to another reincarnation." It has been 100,000 years since the beginning of the written history of mortal beings, but it was a mythical era that is so nostalgic for modern people, prosperity, wealth, tranquility, and peace...... It's as if our hometown has been mythologized by three generations. But, Lu Xi, you should understand, we come from the same era and have the same education. We all know how wild the so-called rule of the three generations of the ideal country is, after all, it is just the self-esteem of the literati and doctors, and we naturally know that the so-called mythical era of prosperity is, in the final analysis, nothing more than the gods are high up as shepherds, the powerful golden bloodlines are sheepdogs, and the rest of the races are just captive worlds of livestock. It's a world that's dying! Sadly, he hasn't even lived. ”
"I know! That's why every time I see a historian boasting about the mythological age in front of me, I want to scold him, which is why I support pragmatic scholars like Professor Yavaru and Professor Jones. Sooner or later, their research will be able to rip off the bottoms of the mythological era. Lu Xi said.
Although this doesn't seem to be good for the goddess sisters in the sky, this has become a historical trend. No way.
"So, where do you think the real source is?" Si Nianti asked rhetorically.
"Huh...... Goddess Fein already has the answer, right? That's why you have such a longing body that jumps left and right. ”
"Jump sideways from side to side...... It sounds apt, but why do you think you're mocking me again? Never mind...... In short, the goddess of Phyin is soul-piercing. She has the body of a god, but the soul of a human, so she has become the most incompatible god in the heavenly palace. Those who like her find her charismatic, and those who hate her think she will bring destruction. However, she herself felt that the more she was a god, the more she was born a ruler, the more she felt that there was a limit to this world dominated by gods. ”
So she was bald...... Uh, no, she's not a god anymore? ”
"She ruled a country as a mortal, and she still failed! So, she finally understood that the world of the gods needed to be turned upside down. The world doesn't need gods, mortals, and gods! I knew that I had to subvert God's rule, and I had to learn to let mortals control their own destiny, even if it would bring destruction. However, isn't even destruction better than such an endless cycle with no way out of sight? ”
"So, you're actually trying to say that everything you do is actually a choice that Goddess Fein would make?" Lu Xi sneered: "No one is qualified to make decisions for other people's fate, she can't, of course, it's even more impossible for you, a deteriorated clone." ”
"I don't agree with that. I didn't decide their fate, I was trying to achieve my goal, and I inevitably met the victims. I deeply regret this, but I will never waver in my determination, but I will not be proud. I'm doing bad things, and I've had that realization for a long time! However, what about you, Lu Xi, isn't your so-called new era also using another method to guide and even decide the fate of others? ”
"This is the decisive difference between the terrorists and the Industrial Party! You destroy, I liberate the productive forces! You don't dare to meet people, my name will go down in history! Lu Xi said proudly.
The other party was speechless, and his momentum weakened a few points at the moment, and it took a long time before he said in an embarrassed tone: "I said it, I have her memory, but it's just a fragment of her broken soul." I only know what she thinks, but I can't replicate her spirit and will. So, there's nothing wrong with calling me a deteriorated clone. In the same situation, maybe she would have done something wiser, right? However, the true goddess of love is dead, and I can only act on my own instincts, my descendants.
So, I, the mind body, used dreams to guide the evil thoughts of the Golden King, so that he could take revenge on the King of Nightmares. Although I was a crippled her, I was still her, so he unreservedly opened his soul to his defenses, and I planted the seeds of doubt. Gil Salad unleashed a curse on the gods and the world during the Battle of the Field of the Holy Spirit, leading to the War of the Gods and the Second Creation that followed. ”
Lu Xi was really a little moved this time: "This is the first step for you to pull the gods down from the altar?" ”
"Yes, a large number of gods have fallen, and the second creation has made it impossible for the main gods of the Firmament Heavenly Palace to come to the main material world. But this is far from the end. I've been active in countless capacities in the post-mythological era, I've guided the birth of Auckland, I've led the High Elves to rebuild their homes on Twilight Isles, I've taught Laxis and Elena, and later Merlin and Reknar. In the same way, whether it is the Qiming War or the birth of several previous crises of annihilation, there is also a fire that I have added a little bit to it. ”
“…… Well, if it weren't for all the nonsense you said earlier, this would have been a chaotic and evil hedonist, and he would have had his forehead lobe removed and used as a general teacher. ”
"Eh, hehe, without her will and morality, but with her obsession, isn't it normal to degenerate into chaos and evil? I've been telling my companions of every age that my purpose is to make the world lively. Now, the world is lively. With each catastrophe, mortals are surviving the crisis in their own strength, they are getting more prosperous, they are getting stronger, they are getting more ...... There is no need for gods. She laughed heartily, laughed and laughed, slowly laughed out of tears, and then turned into a sad cry: "A lot of people died every time, but that's all I have to do, right?" ”
Lu Xi is really sure that this guy is a deteriorated clone now, otherwise have you ever seen such a general boss with great joy and sorrow without being forced at all?
"Don't worry about those goddess sisters in the sky, in fact, the few who are still alive in the Firmament Heavenly Palace now have a good relationship with her before. I don't want to hurt them. In the coming era, mortals will probably only think of them as powerful individuals, but they are not something to be worshipped, and that's it. And this call-up has already appeared. She said to Lu Xi again, and then a distressed look appeared on her face: "However, I still lack the last step after all." ”
Then, she looked at Lu Xi with grateful and even eager eyes, seeing that the latter was eager to bombard the other party's face that was almost comparable to her own.
"Powerful individuals still exist in this world, and their rule cannot be shaken. In this way, how different is it from the rule of the gods? What should I do to bring the world back to the time I imagined it to be? However, she is not a female doctor of science and engineering in her hometown, and I don't understand industry, let alone how to give power to mortals. ”
"Don't worry. I don't think the female doctor of science and engineering next door is much better than you, the kind of freewheeling distinction with a hammer in the east and a stick in the west is clearly a loose liberal arts head, or a liberal arts head that Ma (meow) slept in the past. And then they all use a hypocritical fake big empty to pull hatred, and failure is inevitable. Lu Xi continued to taunt. He felt that it was really difficult not to be sarcastic enough for himself.
"yes, I'm glad I finally got you. Then, I can move on to the next step. The other party was still unmoved, and he really waited for tens of thousands of years later, and his desire to talk did not weaken at all.
"The new era has come, you will lead the world, you are the master of the era, the light of civilization; And my friends and I will continue to be the shadow of this world, continue to test this world, and continue to temper this civilization, until we walk on the sea of stars like the Titans and walk out of this cradle world! Then, remember ......"
She paused, and suddenly laughed fiercely: "We are enemies, not collaborators!" ”
