Chapter 61: The Anatomy of the Self

In a world where there is no light, no darkness, no people, no things, and no sound, Yi Dao people exist in a form that they do not know. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Maybe it's humanoid, maybe it's just a dot with no limbs, maybe it's a messy ball...... As for his form at the moment, Yi Dao people have guessed countless times.

I can't help but guess!

This world is the gap between the real world and the truth, a boring world where nothing exists!

If Yi Daoren didn't find something to do for himself, he didn't know how he should live...... The feeling of not feeling anything, as if you were alone, can be said to be completely indistinguishable from death!

But now, he didn't need to think about his form for the time being, because he was in a good mood after flirting with Pride Yi, enough for him to keep his mental stability for a while.

"Huh...... I'm vulnerable enough. In the void, Yi Daoren mocked himself: "Originally, with my condition, it would be best to watch the new Pride formed by the combination of me and that guy's arrogance. But I can't stand the feeling of not feeling anything here. ”

Indeed, because his body has been infused with the arrogant Philosopher's Stone combined with the 'Father', the power of Flesh Duck's control has been seized by Pride Yi.

The best thing he could do now was to keep Pride Yi and the rest of the Homon Cruises, including 'Father', from discovering him, so that he could find a chance to reclaim his body.

That's not impossible.

After all, he was the owner of the meat skull, even if Pride Yi Fusion had his arrogance...... Just as Pride Yi doesn't feel that he is a part of Yi Dao or 'Father', Yi Dao people also don't feel that Pride Yi is a part of him, at most he has a relationship with him.

Or it can also be said that Pride Yi is quite a child with him and his 'father', as a 'parent', although they have a very close relationship with the child, but the child is not them, but Pride Yi's child is not well-behaved, occupying one of his 'parents', Yi Daoren's flesh!

Yi Dao people can't accept that the world they live in is a void where there is nothing!

After coming to this void, he found that more than anyone else, he longed for sound and color around him!

A variety of different sounds, purple and red colors!

Because those are the proof of his life!

And this world of nothing, not a world where living beings can exist...... At least, the will of Yi Dao people is not strong enough to let him live alone with nothing!

He can bear the pressure, he can take responsibility, but he can't carry it here, and he can't bear it here, so Yi Dao people broke free from this world and returned to their own bodies.

There is no boundary between the real world and the truth, and there will be no boundary, if it is under normal circumstances, it is impossible to leave after coming to this world.

But Yi Daoren did not come to this world in a complete form, he was just exiled to this world by his soul...... It's not correct to say banishment, he is because after the Philosopher's Stone entered his body, in order to break free from the human dragon vein breath in the Philosopher's Stone, those evil ghosts who have been dead for an unknown number of years and entered this world by himself!

Or it can be said that if according to the description of the mythology on earth, this is the gap between the present world and the shore, and if you go further, you will die, and if you take a step back, you will live!

The so-called cracks are so ambiguous in any world!

But Yidao people do not come to this world as simple souls.

In alchemy, man is divided into three parts, flesh, spirit, soul.

Flesh is the basis of life, even beings like Alvons Elric have metal armor as his body, and even his original body may exist somewhere, supported by his brother Edward Elric!

The soul is the core of human beings, representing the will and wisdom of human beings, and guiding all human actions.

The spirit is the link between the flesh and the soul, so that the flesh and the soul are perfectly combined.

Without any of these three, no human being is complete.

Yi Daoren is of course a complete human being, although his soul has come to this cracked world, however, his soul still has a subtle connection with his flesh!

So shortly after coming into this world, he followed the connection between flesh and spirit and let his soul return to his body...... That is, when Pride Yi and Kim Bradley were talking.

That's when he realized that he would only be in this world for a day or two at most.

However, for him, this world of nothingness has blurred his concept of time. That one or two days is as long as a year or two, or even longer!

"But how am I going to get my meat back?" This is the most concerned issue of Yidao people at the moment.

It is impossible for anyone, any creature, to sit idly by and watch their flesh and be taken away by others and not want to try to take it back, even if there is, it is helpless due to lack of strength, not not wanting to!

Yi Daoren is not the kind of helpless weakling, no matter what, he is not a weakling, but if he wants to regain his flesh, it is not an easy thing for him to do!

Needless to say, the first obstacle is naturally Pride Yi, as the current owner of the Yidao people's meat skull, he can't give up the Yi Dao people's meat skull!

The flesh, spirit, and soul of living beings are indispensable, and the one who gives up the flesh represents death.

Pride Yi, who has been successfully born, is already an independent life, and how can life be willing to perish by itself?

Of course, Yi Daoren also has some ideas of his own for this situation, for example, he and Pride Yi negotiated to create a new meat bowl together, so that another soul could be transferred to the new meat pigtail, so that both of them would win and survive together.

But this idea was finally abandoned by the Yidao people.

Not that the idea is bad.

It's a really good idea, and arguably there doesn't get any better than this!

However, there is a very big flaw in this idea, that is, Yi Dao people will not be a complete person from now on!

Pride Yi, as the arrogant combination of Yi Dao and 'Father', needs to devour other Holmon Cruise or the arrogance of 'Father' to make up for his own shortcomings, why don't Yi Dao people need to devour Pride Yi to make up for their own shortcomings?

Pride Yi is his arrogance!

In this way, it is naturally impossible for the Yi Dao people to let Pride Yi survive.

Maybe arrogance is useless for ordinary people, but it is not the case for Yidao people, or for any human being, arrogance is an indispensable emotion!

'Father' sees it as original sin and an obstacle to becoming a god, but the Yi Dao people feel that it is necessary to become a god!

God is a perfect thing, and how can he be a god without arrogance?

Original sin can never be abandoned, and those who abandon original sin are actually escaping the completion of original sin on themselves!

Without the existence of original sin, isn't it just a stone?

To become a god, it must be a person who grasps the original sin, controls the original sin, and takes everything in his own hands, and how can the weak who only know how to escape become a god and become a completely perfect thing?

After determining that he could not coexist with Pride Yi, Yi Daoren thought of another existence where he had taken back his flesh...... 'Father', or in other words, the Homon Cruises with 'Father' as the core!

This is the biggest obstacle for Yi Dao people to regain their flesh...... He alone could not be an enemy of those mighty Homon Cruises!

Although his strength is not bad, after killing his predecessor Pryde, he feels that he has a certain degree of certainty that he will be the enemy of all Homon Cruise except for 'Father', but after all, he is still just one person!

He wasn't strong enough to ignore all of Homon Cruise, especially 'Father'!

On that day, after attacking 'Father-sama' by polluting the dragon veins, only to be flooded by his own polluted soul with countless Philosopher's Stone energy, that is, the endless human dragon veins that represent the human soul, he knew that he might not be able to defeat 'Father-sama' for the rest of his life!

The 'Father', who had devoured so many philosopher's stones in his body, had completely separated himself from the concept of living things. If there was one word to describe it, it would be elves, youkai and other supernatural creatures that are easy to humanize!

'Father', the number of philosopher's stones has changed qualitatively!

Moreover, if Yi Daoren is not mistaken, the alchemy attainments of 'Father' are definitely the top in the world...... Not one of them!

Even if it is his creation refining and destruction refining, it can't be compared!

Because his creation and destruction still need to follow the iron rules of alchemy, equivalent exchange, and my father has completely ignored the principle of equivalent exchange, or he has used countless human souls to help him offset the equivalent exchange, and has become a truth that can directly ignore the cause and obtain the effect!

"What a terrible bandit!" Yi Daoren sighed.

That's right, for 'Father', he is judged to be a terrible robber!

rob human lives, and then use human lives for their own benefit.

To be honest, sometimes Yidao people also envy this practice, after all, selfishness is the instinct of every living being! And this practice of using others to accomplish one's own goals is the most selfish practice, and it is also the practice that can obtain the greatest benefits!

However, Yi Daoren is just envious, let him do it, he really can't do it.

He's a selfish man, but he's also a man who is willing to take his responsibilities!

He can do a lot of things for himself, including being his own kind, the butcher of humans, including using babies as experiments, but he will also be responsible for his own actions!

For him, that was also a sign of selfishness...... His selfishness is not simply for selfishness, but for self-satisfaction!

Satisfying his heart's desires and satisfying his desires in line with his own three views is his selfishness. However, the practice of pure selfishness and completely treating others as consumables is obviously not in line with his three views.

He wasn't sure if he would change his mind in the future, but, at least for the moment, he wouldn't do that.

Because he doesn't admit that he is a good person, he also does not admit that he is a bad person, he only thinks that he is a person who makes the right decisions!

Right and wrong, right and wrong, it should be up to him to decide!

And selfishness is right for him, but the practice of using other people's lives as consumables is wrong for him...... Until now, he has been unwilling to go along with the 'father' because of this idea of the Yi Dao people.

It's a simple idea, but it's also an idea that most people in the world can't do.

Because humans are herd animals, an animal that cannot leave the herd!

The reason why Yidao people can do this step is very simple...... He's not from Amestras, he's not from this world, and this world, from beginning to end, doesn't have much to do with him!

Although this manifestation did not show up when he first came into contact with Charlie, after joining the Ishbal Annihilation War, his feeling of being alone became more and more obvious.

"Speaking of which, there's not much difference between me and the flask villain...... He's an outlier in this world, so why shouldn't I? "Bitter laughter floated endlessly in the void where nothing existed, and then disappeared into infinity.

"I'm just a traveler...... A traveler who doesn't have any sense of belonging...... A traveler without any goals...... But the traveler at least has a home to return to, what about me? Can it still return to Earth? ”

No one can give Yi Daoren an answer, even if the first person in alchemy in this world that Yi Daoren needs to face at this moment, 'Father', it is impossible to give Yi Daoren an answer. The only one who can give Yi Dao people an answer is the ethereal god!

But there is no God in this world!

Even if Yi Daoren would pray for the people he killed, he also knew that there would be no gods in this world!

"There is no God...... Then become a god! Become an all-knowing and all-powerful God who takes everything into His own hands! ”

As if shocked by the cry in Yi Daoren's soul, Yi Daoren suddenly felt that this cracked world seemed to shake suddenly, and then, he found that he seemed to have come to a place where objects existed!

There seems to be liquid and solid in this place, but as a soul, Yi Dao people have no sense of sight or touch, but they only vaguely feel that this world is no longer the world where there was nothing before.

However, Yi Dao people can still feel that here, they are still in the gap between the real world and the truth!

However, if there is an object here, doesn't that mean that you can get a body?
