Carlisle's Game World Chapter 237: The Guardian's Grief
Suddenly, Su Lingyin felt her vision distorted, and when the world in front of her stabilized, she realized that she had come to the back of a giant god, here, there was a human settlement, different from the human beings who were constantly fighting each other in the belly of the giant god in order to compete for the larger rune continent fragments, and the humans living on the giant god (shēn), they were all trying their best to resist the arrival of this night.
The peaceful and stable atmosphere made Su Lingyin hesitate a little, obviously a human being with a similar appearance, obviously facing the threat of death, one was digested by the giant god, and the other was crushed by the huge power that constantly escaped from the body surface of the giant god, although the result of death will never change, although even if human beings do not resist, they are dying one by one, but these human beings on the giant god (shēn) body, they are still constantly trying to survive.
Death, it doesn't matter, before death, these human beings will pass on their only remaining life energy to the next generation, from generation to generation, step by step accumulation, in exchange for the survival of more and more people, originally just a small settlement, under the infinite extension of time, it has also become a scale, people in the generation after generation of people under the protection of the inheritance, gradually developed a small civilization.
After experiencing the birth of this civilization from a first-person perspective, Su Lingyin unconsciously felt extremely proud of these fellow people, because this is what she sees as human beings, no matter how difficult (qíng) the situation is, they can unite and move from death to a new future.
However, too much time has passed for human beings, there are more and more human beings in the settlement, and the growth rate of the power of the guardians is becoming more and more unable to keep up with the expansion of human beings, and at this time, in the general environment of the whole world, the night has also reached the deepest and deepest time.
In this human settlement, in the end, through the strength of the power of runes, it was divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the threat of death was too far away from these humans who grew up under the protection, and these new generation of human beings, no one had even seen the sun, born in the night, grown in the night, in the night, practiced, they gradually no longer believed in the sun in those ancient legends, and no longer had the respect they should have for the guardians.
From the beginning of the talented and intelligent people, rushing to become the next guardian, to now, the choice of guardian is becoming more and more difficult to decide, not because the overall level of human beings has deteriorated, but those who have talent, thinking that they are candidates for the next guardian and ask for more rights, and finally make the contradiction intensify, so long has passed, the place where human beings can live, but it is no longer so little bit of the position, but it is precisely because of this that human beings are given a guardian even if they don't need it, The idea that the so-called guardians are just an old tradition and have no practical meaning.
Until that day, when the previous Guardian ended his mission and was about to pass away, there was no next Guardian to inherit his power, even though he dragged his old (shēn) body to every household, one by one, to beg them to become a Guardian, but even his own children did not understand him very much, did not understand why he was still stuck to such a traditional ritual.
But the real truth is only known to him, countless years of accumulation, finally let the power of the Guardian reach a peak, and after that, the power of the Guardian has never increased, although the previous Guardians had imagined adding one more Guardian and using the number of people to break the limit of being a human being, but unfortunately, since then, not many people have been willing to be a Guardian, let alone spend thousands of years to accumulate a new Guardian (qíng).
From the pride and excitement at the beginning, to the sadness and helplessness now, to the present, Su Lingyin looked at this old man who had dedicated his life to the human beings in this settlement, but finally became the object of contempt in the eyes of everyone, but the truth, only those who have mastered the power of the guardian can understand that even if the old man knows (qíng) and moves reasonably, there is still no one who is willing to take over the responsibility of the old man, and no one is willing to contribute his future to mankind.
Ability and responsibility, at this moment, completely decoupled, the more capable people are, the more they put their own interests first, in this settlement that has expanded to the extreme, almost everyone has forgotten why they survived, the ancestors of the past, how desperate and sad they were when they saw the giant god.
As a bystander, Su Lingyin could only cry silently in her heart, for countless years, she has been constantly switching perspectives in this human race, the changes in the mood of the people of this race, she also saw in her eyes, thousands of people who were originally dependent on each other, now, have developed into a complete city-state, but development has not brought progress to mankind, when people find that the barriers of the settlement can no longer expand, they naively forget the guardian's inheritance ritual.
And because of their special (xìng), the things they see cannot be directly said to ordinary people, which leads to the fact that in the long river of history, only guardians have truly inherited the spiritual wealth left to them by the first generation of human beings in the distant past, while other people, although those histories are compulsory courses, but they only regard those histories as stories, because they are too far away, for them, those histories are too far, far enough in their hearts, they are not willing to believe, Humans used to be so embarrassed that they didn't want to believe it, and then no one believed it anymore.
Finally, when the last guardian died, everyone came to mourn for him, but not for his death, but for the fact that he had been working hard because of a "wrong" idea, that is, to protect humanity, in the eyes of human beings now, our technology is developed, our civilization is extremely prosperous, we don't need one person to protect us all, we are enough to protect ourselves.
Before the guardian died, he had already felt that the war of the titans was about to begin, and the human beings without the guardians were destined to be unable to withstand the destruction of the aftermath of the war of the titans.
This kind of thing (qíng) happens to more than one giant god (shēn), weak, struggle, prosperity, eventually, departure, time, whether long or short, reason, the same or different, but in the end, all human beings have embarked on this path of despair, and no one is spared. Today's people, no one knows, their ignorance and arrogance, will have a great impact on the future, but when the future arrives, human beings have no time and no right to regret it.
