Chapter 14: The Source of the Stars

Even if Ivan still feels unfair and unworthy about what happened to them, he can't change it, and it doesn't make any difference at all.

Ivan closed his eyes, he wanted to relax for a while, he hadn't been thinking about this before, somehow, his thoughts were all disrupted at once, and then focused on these things. But Ivan wasn't very irritable, and these changes were understandable.

After all, the human brain is an unfathomable thing, how can it be easily understood and even controlled?

If he becomes an official or an emperor, he can have such authority and ability, and Ivan feels that the consequences are simply unimaginable.

Ivan closed his eyes and tried to empty his mind as much as possible, not thinking about these things, which would only make him feel very depressed at this time.

After a while, Ivan opened his eyes again, and he looked to the sky, at the little stars that were shining in the sky at this time.

The stars twinkle in a very regular manner, as if unaffected by the moon or other stars.

Ivan just looked at them, and couldn't help but remember a time when Ivan sat down to listen to an old storyteller's booth in front of him.

Listening to the old man's more detailed story, it sounded more like a little story than a story, a little story that I don't know if it's true or not, but it will make people believe that beauty still exists.

Ivan still vividly remembers that afternoon, when he passed by the old storyteller, and the old man beckoned him to stop.

Ivan was keenly aware that the old man must have something to say to him, and later confirmed this suspicion.

It's just that Ivan, who was sitting on the small bench at the time, listened to the old man speak for a long time, but the memory in the middle was particularly clear.

"Young man, let me tell you something, something that may sound very mysterious to you. Do you know why there are so many sparkling stars in the night sky every night? Where do these stars come from? ”

When Ivan heard the old man's very special pause and opening remarks, he immediately thought that this paragraph must sound very interesting.

However, due to the limitations of knowledge and the openness to the old man's problems, Ivan shook his head after thinking for a while.

"I don't know."

"It's okay, even if you don't know this, it's normal. I had the privilege of hearing from an old man who offered this question and the answer to it. He said that when a person dies, the flesh cannot be transcended by the gods. Because people's bodies have already experienced and endured too many filthy things in the world, they will definitely be unclean flesh in the end, and they will not be favored by them at all. ”

"But some people are different, their bodies may have been destroyed by some unknown things in the world, but their souls can always remain clean and pure. Unlike those whose flesh is not clean, and even whose soul is very dirty. They may have fallen into the dirt, even if they may have had many bad thoughts, but they were all fleeting. ”

"Even if they are individuals with seven emotions and six desires, even if they have hurt other people or themselves, it is all unintentional. They will always have goodwill and hope in their hearts, and they will not be influenced by others, and they will not affect the souls of such people themselves. They have already planted the seeds of beauty and immaculate in their hearts, and their souls are not afraid of being contaminated with something unclean. ”

"It doesn't affect their souls to be different, one in a million, they are able to shine in a seemingly ordinary group of people. Like the stars in the sky, they are beings that the gods cannot ignore. After all, their souls are too good, which is why they were overtaken by the gods in the end. As for what will become of it, no one knows. ”

Although the old storyteller's expression did not change much, his words did attract all of Ivan's attention.

Ivan was barely distracted, it was simply the most mysterious and amusing thing he had heard in so many years.

"As far as I know, those whose souls have been exceeded, they do not die directly after the physical death. It may be that their bodies have fallen in the world, but it does not affect the immortality of their souls and spirits. Perhaps it is precisely because the gods have taken a fancy to this that their souls will be immortal, so the gods use their mysterious and infinite power to bless them. ”

"Seal the souls of these people forever, seal them into shining stars, which is why there are so many stars shining in the sky. It is only because of the purity of their souls and the favor of the gods that they have given them the power to transform the consciousness and soul of those people into stars in the sky. The twinkling of the stars is the result of a certain star resonating with the object. ”

The old man paused again, as if this was a very mysterious and sacred thing.

When I said it, I needed to pause for a moment and even apologize to the gods, and I accidentally revealed the secret.

Ivan saw that the old man stopped again, and guessed if the old man was thirsty, but no, the old man just rested.

After a while, the old storyteller cleared his throat again, and he still had a lot to say, and he had to continue.

"Young man, when the night comes, especially when it is cloudless, when it does not rain, it will be full of stars. Among these stars, some of them are very bright, some are relatively faint, and among them, there are differences. After all, the soul is canonized as a star, some in front and some in the back. And after they turned into stars, they began to shine. ”

"It is important to note that the cleaner and purer the soul, the more powerful it is that no one else can match. The brighter the light of the stars when they shine, the more it shows the uniqueness of the soul and the purity of its soul. Because of their own particularity, some stars are very likely to shine too brightly, and even surpass the moon in a short period of time, but only a very few. ”

"After the soul turns into a star, it is an irreplaceable existence. But the brighter the stars shine, the faster they will fall into the depths of the universe, and there is a cause and effect. Know that the stars are not eternal, only the sun and moon are. Thus as the light and heat of a soul is about to run out, the star will gradually disappear from the sky. ”。

"Along with this star will be the soul of innocence, which will also be reduced to nothingness in the last moments. It's like never coming in this world, leaving no trace. No one knows the details of this subtle change. ”
