Chapter 155: Different Answers to the Same Question
Why did the tree take the form of an Athenace, and why did it ask such a question? Many questions popped into Talia's mind for a split second, but she quickly calmed down, and she began to remember what had happened in the past twenty years of living with Artfans.
In Talia's eyes, it is really difficult to answer what kind of existence Artevans is. Talia didn't seem to know anything about Artevans, and she even wished that Rodt was present at the moment, and if Tyat was there, maybe Rodt would give a suitable answer.
Eventually, though, Talia had to answer the question herself.
"Artfans......" Talia thought for a long time again, and slowly spoke, "He is a mysterious but contradictory being. But if I had to guess the current Artefans, he might be a very dangerous being."
"It seems that you really don't know him." The tree undoubtedly directly exposed Taria's heart.
"Atfans Blake Berans, he's not as complicated as you think. He was just a being who simply wanted to gain power, to control everything he could touch. Of course, in order to get everything he wants, he will do whatever it takes, even bringing chaos to this world. But he's ...... the same It may also be an existence beyond understanding, beyond cognition.'"
"One day, you can't avoid meeting him again. You may become enemies for life, or you may become friends for life, depending on what you do to him."
The tree said, and threw another question, "If you end up fighting him, will you be able to do it?"
Talia was silent, not because she was afraid, or rather hesitant, but because she was thinking about what Artevans would appear in front of her again, if it was really as the tree said.
However, after a moment of silence, Talia finally answered the tree's question, "If one day, when he appears in front of me again as an enemy, then I will not hesitate to sanction him."
The tree sighed softly after listening to Taria's answer, so slight that Talia didn't even notice it.
"I'm done with my question, you can go back to your own world." As he spoke, the tree opened the portal back to Pano Village.
Talia bowed respectfully to the tree again and turned to leave.
Just after Talia left, the tree seemed to sigh. It seemed to have eyes, "staring" at the human form of the Atvance it had shaped.
"Then it depends on what your definition of the enemy is." The tree whispered.
……
A burst of light sprinkled around the oracle stele, and the sixty Divine Heirs who had participated in the assessment returned from the Divine Interface. Some of their faces were very relaxed, while others were solemn.
The surrounding elders did not immediately rush forward, they knew that the oracle stone tablet would soon announce the results of the first assessment.
A moment later, a short plain white cloak appeared on the bodies of eight people. The cloak clearly shows the mark of the Divine Heir, and this cloak is proof that it has passed the first examination of the Oracle Stone.
Among the eight Divine Heirs who received the cloak were Talia and Royal.
After these eight people got their cloaks, they couldn't help but frown. Because they know that they have passed the first examination of the stone tablet. The remaining fifty-two people who did not get the cloak were the ones who were eliminated by the oracle stele.
No one knows what the criteria for judging the oracle stele are, but the judgment of the oracle stele is absolute and full of majesty in the minds of the heirs of the gods.
In this case, the young clansmen who did not pass the first assessment did not show too frustrated expressions, they were just a little disappointed.
"These eight young people will proceed to the next assessment, and the content of the assessment will be conveyed by the stone tablet two days later. Everyone, please come back.'" Siya stood in front of the stele again, conveying the stele's will to all the gods around him.
"Lord Notek, what are you going to do now?" A member of the Main Battle Faction asked, looking at Notek beside him.
"Anyway, we have three more people here who have passed, and these three are the most powerful young people we have here, and I believe in their strength." Notek wasn't too nervous. Then, he turned and walked away.
The people dispersed, and only Roate and Talia were left in front of Siya's church.
"Sister Talia, see you in the evening." Royat gave Talia a subtle look and left, leaving only Taria, who was stunned and frowned at not knowing what Roart wanted to say.
————————————
Late night came quickly.
Royal's words during the day kept Talia awake, but she was more waiting for Royale's arrival. After all, Royat never broke his promise, he said "see you in the evening", then he will definitely come.
A gust of wind blew open the window of Talia's room, as if feeling a hint of coolness at night, Talia, who was dressed relatively thinly, hurriedly stepped forward to close the window. Looking out the window at the pitch black, Talia frowned and closed the curtains.
"Sister Talia, I've been waiting for a long time."
Suddenly the sound of Roart behind her startled Taria, and she immediately turned around, stared at Roat with a displeased expression, and pinched the other person's ears, as if to vent her dissatisfaction.
Rodt just smiled and put up with Talia pinching his ears, and didn't make any resistance. Anyway, Talia wouldn't have pinched his ears.
"Tell me what you mean by that daytime?" What do you want to do now?' Talia stared at Roat tightly, making Roat feel a little uncomfortable.
"Sister Talia, I don't mean anything else, don't think about it. I just wanted to ask you what exactly your assessment is, and it's not convenient to say that during the day." Rodt raised his hand, acting as if he was harmless and would not do anything.
Talia then let go of the hand that was pinching Rodat's ear, and her face showed a little suspicion. She motioned for Rodt to sit down in a chair in front of the table.
Roart did as Talia had to say, and then looked at Talia expectantly, waiting for Talia to share the assessment with him.
"The tree only asked me three questions...... Talia saw that Loart wouldn't do anything more, so she told the tree about the three questions he asked.
……
"Really? Aside from the question about Brother Artevans, the rest is really abstract. Royalt couldn't help but smile after listening to what Talia had to say.
"What about you?" What would you do if you had to face Artevans again?' Talia abruptly threw the question at Rod.
Roart glanced at Talia and shook her head helplessly, "I don't know, I don't know right now, to be exact, but I think sooner or later I'll make what I think is the best choice."
"Really......" Talia sighed.
"What did the tree ask you?" Now that Royat knows the content of Taria's assessment, it is only natural for Roart to tell Talia about the content of his assessment. Talia asked again.
"I didn't meet the tree you encountered." Roat said with a smile and shaking his head.
Tyat's answer made Talia a little puzzled, but recalling what Siya had said about the interface of the gods, Talia also understood that the assessment that Rodt received was different from herself.
"However, I see an endless darkness that wants to engulf me, and a voice asks me if I want to accept it." What Royalt said next surprised Taria.
Taria's eyes widened and she looked at Roat in disbelief, desperate to know how he had responded.
"I didn't accept it, I didn't reject it, I just said that I recognize the existence of darkness, and I accept the darkness that exists." Seeing Taria's expression, Royat also knew that Talia wanted to know the follow-up, so he told the other party how to deal with it.
However, Loat did not tell Talia the truth.
In the Divine Interface where Loyat was, the darkness did try to engulf him, but the darkness softened the moment it touched him, making Roat feel as if he could manipulate it.
The voice that sounded in the interface of the gods also made Loart think for a long time.
"Be sure to choose carefully the path you want to take in the future......
(What path do I want to take in the future?) It seems that the interface of the gods is an existence that can reflect the deepest spirit of life, and the so-called assessment is to allow oneself to look directly into one's own heart. )
Loart silently remembers what happened to him at the Divine Interface, but he won't tell Talia the whole story.
"Brother Artevans, if you were asked to answer the first two questions that Sister Talia had, how would you answer them?" At the same time, Rodat was secretly communicating with Artevans, who was far away in the Dark Prison, through his thoughts.
"I can't answer the second question Talia had, because in my eyes now, the Divine Heirs ...... At least Notek's main battle faction is the one who stands in the way of my existence.'" Atfans was quick to give his answer.
"As for the first question. Although I agree that the World Tower does exist, I don't agree with Talia's statement that the World Tower will exist forever, I think that the World Tower can change because of the existence of life, and even we ourselves may be able to change the World Tower. Does the World Tower have to be a real, eternal existence? I don't think so. We've never really seen the World Tower look like, we've never entered free space. Since we have never really seen the true appearance of the World Tower, the existence and image of the World Tower are only imagined by each of our lives."
"Again, I don't think the World Tower Law is insurmountable. If the World Tower Law interferes with my existence, or even the World Tower itself, I will not hesitate to abandon or even break it."
The answer given by Artevans was almost the opposite of that of Talia.
After listening to Atfans' words, Rodat smiled silently inwardly. After saying goodbye to Artfans, he cut off the communication with Artfans and slowly closed his eyes, "Brother Artfans, now I understand, about you and Sister Talia......
