CHAPTER XXIX
"Who are you?" The man calmly asked rhetorically, "If your 'who' is just a name, then ——— Shirley. Birkin, that's your name. ”
Shirley nodded: "That...... Who are you? ”
"This image of mine should be William Birkin...... It's your father, of course, and it's just a projection of me inside you. And if you ask me in a different way, what am I..... So, I'm a virus, a virus like God, and I'm GOD. ”
I don't know if Shirley understood, but she nodded quietly and asked the third question: "Where is this?" ”
"Your Soul World ......"
"Soul ......?"
William nodded, yes, your soul, because you're dead."
Shirley was slightly stunned, and then lowered her head a little dazedly: "Dead...... Is it? ”
She obviously didn't think much that she would get such an answer, so she was a little overwhelmed: "So, after you die, will you come to this kind of place?" Why did you come here, instead of going straight to heaven, or ...... To hell. ”
She asked, then looked up at the virus with her own father figure but self-proclaimed GOD: "Also, why are you here, you want to ...... What can you tell me? ”
William pondered for a moment: "There are so many questions, although it is a bit cumbersome, but I will answer you."
First of all, on the first question, not all people come here after they die...... In fact, throughout the ages, there are only two human beings in the world who have the ability that their souls do not disappear immediately after death, and you are the second. ”
"And who's the first one?"
William spread his hands and smiled and gestured to his image: "Obviously, it's your father." ”
"Yes......" Shirley lowered her head: "It turns out that my father is also dead, but ...... Why is it just the two of us? ”
"Because, only the two of you have the genes that match me, and it is precisely in this way that you become an alternative creature, you are not only human, but also my ——— G virus, which explains why your soul has not dissipated, because although you are dead, I am still alive, which is the answer to your second question."
Shirley nodded as if she didn't understand: "Then...... What's next? ”
"Hehe, don't worry, I was just about to explain the next question." "I'm here to talk to you, and in fact, your father has talked to me about it," he said...... And what we're talking about is...... Do you want to be God? ”
"God?" Shirley repeated, "What is God?" ”
"Good question." G Virus responded: "There are many kinds of gods, from the dictionary, it is just the word GOD, in the spiritual world, he can be a collection of thousands of beliefs, and in the world in which we live...... God...... It is the origin of all things, and it is also the destination of all things, and it is a process of evolution from the lowest end to the top. ”
Shirley was silent for a long time, then shook her head: "I...... Don't understand. ”
"Of course you won't understand, because your imagination is still limited to mortals." "But I can give you an example...... For example, I am actually God in a sense, but I am only the beginning of evolution now, and you are my host...... You can choose to put everything in my hands, and then I will put you at the apex of evolution. ”
"Could it be clearer?"
"Of course, after you hand over your body to me, you will gain endless evolutionary power, you will adapt to all environments, you can automatically evolve a skin that isolates the temperature in high temperatures, and you can evolve a parotid gland that filters oxygen under the water, millions of years of evolution, in your body, it only takes a moment to complete, and there is no limit, at that time, no one can kill you, and you can turn others into ashes as long as you move your mind, so you will become the overlord of this planet, more powerful than the so-called superman."
Shirley didn't speak, maybe this state made her mind a little sluggish, but after a while: "No, you're lying......"
She said lightly: "If there is such endless evolution, it will require countless nutrients, and you can't depart from the basics of biology." ”
G virus was stunned for a moment: "Hehe, I didn't expect it...... You are much more powerful than your father, and when he heard this, he chose to hand over his body to me......"
"Father......" Shirley muttered, as if she had thought of that terrible piece of flesh, waving her hand and devouring everything around her...... Father.
"And after that? I want to hear it all......" Shirley asked lightly, "All!" ”
The G virus hesitated, perhaps because it couldn't lie, so it slowly spoke: "Just like you said, the evolution of life cannot be created out of nothing...... So, as your cells evolve, they will also divide, they will expand, and you will absorb everything around you, first of all, you will start with proteins, and these things will become part of your body, and in a long enough time, your body will cover the entire planet, and at that time, all life will be swallowed up by you.
However, no force can stop you from evolving, and gradually, you will learn to use the carbon, silicon, calcium, aluminum, and iron in the soil as nutrients, and you will stretch out countless roots, spread into the ground, absorb everything around you, and in a few hundred years, the whole earth will become your nourishment.
After that, you will float in the universe, the huge mass will give you a huge gravitational pull, you will swallow the dust of the universe, you will reach out your tentacles, absorb everything you touch, you will touch other planets, swallow ...... Devour again until you fall into the sun, and under the heat, you will evolve a stronger body, and after countless years, you ...... You will also turn the sun into a part of yourself, and at that time, time will not mean anything to you, and you will continue to devour through the various nebulae until you are big enough to reach the edge of the universe and break through the walls between the planes......"
"Until then, it won't stop, will it?" Shirley interrupted the other party lightly: "After all, you will devour everything, in other words, you will become everything, just like you said at the beginning, you are ——— GOD, a god, the only thing that still exists in the world, the starting point of everything, and the destination of everything." ”
G-Virus nodded: "Yes...... So, do you want to be like your father......"
Shirley hesitated, "Okay...... she replied, "However, I suddenly wondered if there would be another form of coexistence between you and me." ”
