Chapter Seventy-Three: A Brief and Quiet Past
The "stream of life" is the energy circulation network system within the planet in the seventh world of Final Fantasy, which is the final destination of the spirit, soul and knowledge of all intelligent life, and the starting point of the birth of the soul and consciousness of all life, and the "stream of life" represents reincarnation in a sense.
However, compared to the principle of reincarnation for the so-called good and evil, which is the principle of judgment in human morality, the most primitive part of the "stream of life" at the beginning of the birth of the planet does not actually have this kind of human subjective consciousness. It is only with the integration of the spirit, soul and knowledge of intelligent life on the planet that the "stream of life" itself has changed in response to this change.
At the time of the Final Fantasy Seven story, the "stream of life" was roughly composed of two parts, the first part was the will and soul of the primordial planetary consciousness, and the second part was the collection of spirit, soul and knowledge after the death of the planetary life. It is the integration of the second part into the first part that makes the planet in Final Fantasy VII "come alive".
The will and soul that make up the first part of the current "stream of life" assemblement, that is, the consciousness of the primordial planet, is in fact always in the regular form of the unconscious. It represents the rules of the normal operation of the planet, that is, the laws of the activities of the planet itself, such as atmospheric currents, ocean currents, and crustal movements, and it is this law that constitutes the environment required for life to exist.
The second part that constitutes the current "stream of life" combination, that is, the spirit, soul and knowledge of life integrated into the planet, is mainly derived from the death of Jenova thousands of years ago, and almost all the individuals of the whole family have been integrated into the planet, becoming the ancient species that exists in modern human legends, that is, Alice. The Setra tribe to which Gainesbale belongs.
In the Final Fantasy Seven Anthropocene Realm's literature on the ancient race of the Setra race, this race concentrates almost all the positive adjectives of human beings, and can be described as the existence of saints who are both morally and spiritually. More importantly, in addition to the great construction of spiritual civilization, the wisdom and strength of this race are also extremely prominent, and it is said that they are born with the terrifying power to talk to the unconscious planet and guide and use the streams of life.
Therefore, after the entire ancient Getra tribe died together with Jenova and entered the legendary place of restraint through the Fountain of Life, the original unconscious planet accepted so many spirits and ideas that contained positive good thoughts, and then transformed from the original non-ideological to the orderly and good camp.
All the players who have been accompanied by the plot of Final Fantasy VII and let their emotions go up and down must remember the scene where Sephiroth fell from the sky and killed Alice in front of Claude! Originally, Sephiroth hoped to use the ** of destroying the enemy to terminate Alice, the last descendant of the ancient Jetra tribe, and launch the ultimate magic organization of the White Magic Stone to destroy the meteorite.
But Sephiroth undoubtedly made a mistake, a mistake he never even realized. That is the huge amount of energy required to activate the Black Magic Stone, even Sephiroth himself on the invincible planet at that time, he needs to take a long enough time to ingest the fountain of life in the huge rift torn by Jenova on the planet thousands of years ago in the Great Hollow of the North.
Then the conditions required for the white magic stone of the same level as the black magic stone are naturally the same extremely harsh! Although Alice's ancient Getra bloodline talent can allow her to instinctively communicate with the planet itself, the innate compatibility and synchronization of this bloodline cannot completely make up for Alice's lack of strength, after all, the power regulating power also needs to be strong enough.
You must know that Sister Alice's profession is a professional-level cute flower girl, and the amount of power she has is completely insufficient to fully apply the White Magic Stone. However, Sephiroth, who once regarded himself as the last descendant of the ancient race, completely integrated himself into the stream of life, and obtained the knowledge and wisdom accumulated by the entire ancient race, which also made his strength reach a completely invincible state.
Such a huge gap between heaven and earth, no matter from which angle of analysis and comparison, it is impossible to offset the vast difference between the two just by relying on bloodline talent and sharpening spear-like practice. Even if Alice did succeed in activating the White Magic Stone, it would only be to the extent of weakening the Meteorite of the End of the World, not the complete destruction of Final Fantasy VII.
However, when Alice's ** was wiped out by Sephiroth, according to the funeral rites of the Ancient Race of the Jetra Race in the Seventh Final Fantasy Realm, as well as the reincarnation principle of the higher life forms on the planet, Alice's spirit, soul and knowledge flowed through the spring in the Forgotten City to the Holy Land of the Ancient Race, and finally merged into the part of the Life Stream itself that belonged to the Jetra Clan. ,
So Alice, who was in the same group of spirits, souls and wisdom as the ancient people, and combined with each other, quickly fused and had the same level of wisdom as Sephiroth, which brought the original level gap between the two infinitely closer, but it was not the reason for Sephiroth's failure, what really made the seven-winged angel fall was the so-called planetary decline.
According to Claude and Sephiroth, the decline of the planet originated from the invention of the Magic Furnace by the HRE, a device that constantly extracts the streams of life from the earth, extracting the spiritual energy contained in the streams of life in an almost destructive way and finally transforming them into energy that can be used directly.
In the plot of the Final Fantasy VII story, Alice's induction of the planet through the Jetra bloodline, the planet has no resistance at all under the extraction of the HRE, and can only continue to make inarticulate wails to Alice, and even direct contact with the stream of life takes a lot of energy and time to understand the meaning of the planet.
At that time, the planet had indeed entered an irresistible decline, and the uncontrolled ingestion of the stream of life by the Magic Furnace had indeed fundamentally destroyed the cycle of planetary energy. But is it really what we see? No! Many facts are hidden behind the darkness that no one knows, otherwise how did Alice, who was united with the planet, turn the tables in an instant?
But do you know how many years the planet itself has existed? In contrast, planets have existed in this universe for at least five billion years. Is the huge amount of energy that has been precipitated in five billion years a few years that can be emptied in just a few years? Obviously it can't be, so the HRE is only a superficial cause of the planet's decay.
Let's forget about the evidence Alice left behind and recall the message Alice's mother, Ifalna. The soul of the planet in Ifalna's memories is quite powerful, it can completely control everything in the stream of life, can use the energy of the stream of life to make weapons, and can even communicate with the Jetra people at the level of language, almost a complete intelligent life.
In the distant era of the existence of the ancient Jetra tribe, the powerful planetary consciousness could even sense the danger that the advancing Jenova was about to bring to him in the distant universe, and even took the initiative to create four super biological weapons that could be called the ultimate weapon with the stream of life, ready to be used to eliminate the threat to Jenova to herself.
So when did the constant decline of the planet begin? It's obvious! It was after the ancient race of the Jetra tribe was wiped out with Jenova. So why did such a thing happen!? First of all, we have to be clear! That is, the beginning of the stream of life is the planet itself, and the huge soul that follows the rules but has no subjective will, so what makes the planet so human?
The answer is very, very simple, that is, the spirit, soul and knowledge are all fused into the stream of life. This noble race unconsciously accomplished a great thing, that is, after constantly merging with its own existence to the planet, and finally bringing the unconscious primordial soul of the planet to life.
Then the Jetra can communicate directly with the planet, and even use the natural privilege of the planet's energy, can be completely reversed to make a clear understanding, that is, the Jetra is communicating with the spirit and soul of the deceased race and the planet. So why can't Alice have a casual and natural conversation with the planet like her former kind?
The answer is simple! It is important to know that the consciousness of the Dao Planet has always been the main body of the stream of life, and although it has been activated by the spirits and souls of countless Jetra tribes, its huge souls accumulated over the endless years of water are still pure and hypocritical existences that revolve around the rules. The planet itself continues to assimilate the souls of the Jetra people, and the Jetra tribes, who have lost their bonds and care after death, have also fallen into a deep sleep little by little with a long time, leaving only the spirit and wisdom to continue to surround the stream of life.
When the Jetra tribe was not extinct, the planet continued to assimilate and at the same time was constantly replenished, so it was able to be in the activation state of the Jetra tribe all the time, but with the death of the Jetra tribe and the Jenova tribe, the newborn human beings lacked innate talent and wisdom, and could not replace the status of the Jetra tribe at all, so the activity of the Jetra tribe of the planet's consciousness continued to decline, and finally by the time of Alice, basically, it was about to return to the unconscious state at the beginning of the birth of the planet. ,
So when the most demurous Jetra people are integrated into the stream of life, and the heart is still full of bonds for companions and lovers, Alice, who is full of consciousness and activity, integrates the heritage of the Jetra tribe, and at that moment Alice's consciousness and planetary consciousness are integrated, becoming the planetary spokesperson who can completely control the stream of life, so the omnipotent last black hand Alice was born.
The incomplete human version of Jenova leads the will collection, the great seven-winged angel of destruction, His Highness Saphiroth, against the combination of planetary power that owns the entire legacy of Jetlar and has accumulated over countless years, and the ending of the story of Final Fantasy Seven appears in front of us.
The entire group of the ancient Jetra tribe is a group of crazy people, these terrifying creatures who pursue the ultimate truth, goodness and beauty, really used a race as a lever to pry a planet, and also dug a big pit to bury the super life form Jenova. As for the first thing Alice did after taking control of the planet for what kind of thing was to destroy the Demon Furnace of Shinra, I think the reason for this is very, very simple! It's like a mosquito lying on your body and sucking blood, and subconsciously you will slap it to death!
As for whether Alice's consciousness will be assimilated by the planet, it is estimated that it will depend on when His Royal Highness Sephiroth hangs up. Anyway, even if Claude and the others unfortunately die, Sister Alice, the super mastermind behind the scenes, will be very comfortable and turn them into spiritual beings like Zack, and Sister Alice's future will not be silent, maybe this is an alternative happy ending.
"Now you know what I do, I'm so afraid of Sister Alice!" Bathed in the evil green of Moxuan, he said to Yao Xing in the projection state with a sigh on his face: "When it comes to fighting the backstage!" The half-crippled Jenova that His Royal Highness Sephiroth relied on, and the Jetra clan and the planet behind Sister Alice, are not a level of existence at all! ”
"It's no wonder that on the surface, the strength on Claude's side is obviously weak, but the infinite space is still allocated to more reincarnators like the Genova camp!" With a look of realization on Yaoxing's pretty face, the intelligent girl suddenly thought of something and exclaimed, "Isn't it very dangerous on our side!?" ”
"Of course! Our current situation is two unlucky eggs caught by a vindictive rich second generation! It's a tragedy through and through! It's so daddy! Mu Yuchen's face was full of a decadent expression, and he said to Yaoxing with extreme helplessness: "I went to contact Tifa at the beginning!" I didn't expect it, but I still fell for the trick of infinite space! ”
"That's right! Master! None of the others were infected by Jenova! Are you alone in the rain? Hearing Mu Yuchen talk about the trick of infinite space, Yao Xing suddenly remembered this major issue that the two of them had been ignoring from the grouping of the camp to the present.
"That's it! Everyone is obviously alien! I'm so unlucky for what, I'm directly infected by the Jenova cells in the rain! I can't figure it out! I can't figure it out at all! Yaoxing! Use your computing power to deduce the next in a blur! Hearing Yao Xing ask this question, Mu Yuchen also looked confused, and he said without a clue: "Give me some inspiration!" I'll be busy with something else first. ”
Leaving Yao Xing's virtual projection to think alone, Mu Yuchen surrounded the huge transparent jar filled with magic and used his alchemy comprehension to inspect the entire storage mechanism and the high concentration of vitality in it. With the understanding of the green transparent tank in front of him, Mu Yuchen's expression continued to change slightly, and Yao Xing was falling into constant calculation and elimination at the moment.
"The wind warlock is afraid of the moon, using special elemental magic, it seems that he has always been under the protection of the wind element, and has not been in direct contact with the rain, and the infection can be ruled out by direct contact. Mutant human alienation bloodlines are similar to those of the master, and are excluded from the realm of possibility. However, the Jenova cell is a special form of energy body, and the irrational nature of the contact infection mode ....... ”
Yao Xing, who lacked a clue, adopted a stupid method, that is, to use his huge computing power and the many data collected at this stage, according to the ability of each reincarnation person's personal strengthening, to reason and calculate one by one, and then summarize and summarize, and further eliminate and narrow the scope.
"The fire warlock Beifeng Hualing has the fire shadow bloodline of the fire flame, and has the Yaqi Yan Dragon parasitic in the body. The dragon flame of the Baqi Yan Dragon has been flowing in the body of the North Wind Hualing, and there is a possibility of incinerating the invading energy from the outside world, and in an instant, the dragon flame has the destructive characteristics of the spiritual energy like a natural enemy....... Once calculated, all possible categories will be included in the list. ”,
"Demon Dragon Knight Thomson, with the blood of the Baror's Flame Demon, the ability of the Evil Spirit Knight contract transformation, and the ability to strengthen the bloodline of the unknown dragon. The Abyssal Demon Flame and Demon Body of the Barlow Flame Demon, the Undead Body and Hellfire of the Evil Spirit Knight, and the powerful system and dragon breath of the Dragon Clan, all of which have extremely high specific ....... ”
"Breaking the sky, the type of knowledge enhancement is the martial arts class, and there is no reference value for the master to confirm this information, and the rest of the treatment is unknown and cannot be deduced in the future."
"Mu Yuchen, human bloodline mutation alienation, strong force, magic, ghost power, alchemy, martial arts, ......."
The huge stream of data continued to flow in the eyes of Yaoxing's virtual projection in the form of inexplicable symbols, and Mu Yuchen, who had completed his understanding of the alchemy of the Demon Xuan storage body and the Demon Xuan itself, was squatting on the ground writing and drawing intermittently, calculating and deducing things from his eyes. The rippling green underground space suddenly returned to its previous silence and silence as the two of them were busy.
Claude and Tifa, who had returned to the edge city, were waiting quietly in the seventh heaven. Due to the influence of the Wind Warlock Moon, Marlene was not taken away by the Kadajo trio. At this moment, the little girl was not only making a fuss, because Denzel was not brought back by Claude and the others.
Claude and Tifa are comforting the sad Marlene, and the Storm Moon, who has the Wind Elf King's contract ability, is pressing her eyes into something at the moment. The invisible but simple consciousness of the wind element, is centered on the silver-haired girl is constantly spreading, and soon the wind of this edge city will be carried into the mind of the moon, and soon the girl will find what she wants.
The Jenova cells parasitic in Rufus's body were struggling to maintain his collapsing mental consciousness, unable to respond clearly to Kadajou's call. Kadaqiu and others, who lost the clear sensing of Jenova's cells and could not locate them accurately, had to take the initiative to search for them at the suggestion of Broken Heaven.
Kadaqiu and his party, who led hundreds of scouts, were conducting an almost carpet-like search in a corner of the city with the potential of pulling a net to investigate. Such an eye-catching action not only attracted the discussion of passers-by, but also naturally attracted the wind elements unfolded by the moon in the first place.
"Found Denzel! He was now looking for something in the corners of the city with Kadaju. With a nonchalant expression telling Claude and Tifa what she knew, the silver-haired girl stood up and walked to the door of the seventh heaven.
"Wait! Whatever they're looking for! We all have to get those kids out first! Tifa called out to Claude as she walked out the door, her eyes flashing with tenacity.
"Yes!
