Chapter 103: Death

Sun De knew that the Grim Reaper was on the high platform, and walking from the bottom to the top was the most basic etiquette, although there was almost nothing here.

Stepping into the apex, a shadow appeared on the last layer at some point.

"Welcome, companion from the other world. ”

The resonance between the godheads made Sun De clearly confirm the identity of the other party.

He is the Grim Reaper of this world, a near-extinct Grim Reaper.

"Hello!"

An inexplicable sadness arose in his heart, making him sigh unconsciously.

"It doesn't have to be so, companion, the Grim Reaper also has a moment of death, this is fate, but also a relief. I've lived so long that I can't even tell the difference between myself and a normal undead. ”

Sun De was amazed: "God also has a day of death?"

"Yes, everyone is on the road to death, the undead are walking one step slower than the living, and God is only a momentary stop. ”

"But doesn't death have mastered death?"

"No, you're wrong, we've only mastered a part, and there's no way to master the ultimate death, even if you have a death godhead, if you try to master death, even the god of death will die. ”

Although there are some surprises, Sun De is not unacceptable, the mystery of God has long been revealed, and at this time it has become a profession, a kind of energy rating, and it is impossible to transcend the past of death. Not to mention that there are moments of death in the world, not to mention others.

Sun De was curious: "What is the limit of the length of life?"

"It's the Grim Reaper, and the limit of all life is due to death, and the Grim Reaper will be the one whose world will eventually die. ”

Looking at the other party's already extremely decaying aura, Sun De asked, "Then how long have you lived?"

"I don't remember exactly, I only remember the moment when the first life was born, the god of life was born, and the moment the first life died, I was born. ”

"So you're a nature god!"

The other party chuckled lightly and said, "We are indeed natural gods that have evolved from rules. ”

"I thought that the gods of nature were all impersonal. ”

"In some ways, it is true, but when the death of life brings wisdom, slowly I also have myself. The worship of God by intelligent beings also gives us personality. ”

Sun De's heart moved, and he understood that this was the root of the evolution of the cultivation method in the Shinto world.

Man's wisdom is transmitted to the gods of nature through worship and reverence, and the form of these rules is shaped by observation.

Half a year ago, Bai Guo once talked to Sun De about novels, and the other party asked Sun De a sentence: 'What is the closest thing to Tao in this world?' Sunde's answer was words. And Bai Guo's answer is 'words under cognition'.

To put it simply, it is the cognition that gives an object a concept.

Personified gods are probably rules that are bound by concepts.

It's a demotion.

So Sun De asked, "When you say death, do you mean that you have returned to the state in which you were once impersonal?"

The Grim Reaper seemed a little surprised, and replied, "No, the gods are all dead, and the moment the God of Life died, no new life was born in this world, and she should not have returned to her original form. ”

"But the undead are not completely dead at this time, are they alive or dead?"

"No, there are no dead in this world, there is only one being here who has not yet died, and that is me, and my life does not fall under the jurisdiction of the God of Life. ”

Sun De was startled, pointed outside, and said, "But there are a lot of undead outside!"

He sighed and said, "All of this is my power. ”

"Including those from the Darkmoon Dynasty?"

"Yes, including them. ”

Seeing Sun De's expression of teasing me, he said: "The Dark Moon Dynasty is not the last kingdom of mankind, but it is the country that explores the deepest death, especially his king, who is strong enough to fight with me, tens of thousands of years ago, he tried to kill me in vain to replace the position of the god of death, we fought for a long time, although I finally defeated him, but he also plundered a part of the origin. Since then, he has closed off the country, and the souls of the entire Darkmoon Empire have been freed from my control. ”

Sun De secretly said in his heart: "This is probably the part of the poem that the king defeated the god of death and obtained the ownership of the national soul." ”

"It wasn't until much later, when he reopened the country, that he had discovered that even if those souls were no longer under my control, mortal souls would decay, and though they were like living people because of my strength, they were essentially nothing more than a few dregs. ”

"So they came to the Underworld to plunder?"

"That's right, only the soul can replenish the soul, although there is attrition, although it is difficult to purify, but they do come, again and again. The king held me back, and his men held back mine, and at last began a long battle at a rate of once every thousand years. ”

"What about man himself, does he only plunder from you?"

"They are no longer ordinary undead, ordinary souls cannot satisfy their hunger and thirst, only here, only these souls tainted with my power can. ”

After a while, he continued: "Then the god of life died unexpectedly, and no more life was born in the world, and the souls of the underworld were drastically reduced, and both of us became weak. Maybe this time is the end. ”

"So the reason why they stay alive is by sucking your life, but each time they suck it up, it accelerates their death time!"

He suddenly had a bad feeling and exclaimed, "Those beasts!

He sighed faintly and said, "Yes, the cultivation method of the Soul Tree was deliberately spread by me, since the death of the God of Life, my mission is almost over, and my duty is to send life back to the world." Although the other party hastened my death by doing this, he is also burying himself. ”

Sun De didn't know what to say for a while, this kind of death-seeking mentality, this dying state of mind was not something he could understand at all.

"Why don't you take your time, maybe there will be a turnaround, such as a life in another world, a god in another world, and even you can go to other worlds!"

"No, you don't understand, I am the god of death naturally produced in this world, my duty is to send the life of this world to death, if I don't send the last life away, then I have no reason to leave, the god of life is dead, this world will no longer produce life, my last task is only these remnants of the Dark Moon Dynasty. As for the lives of the other world, they were not born here, and they should not be controlled by me, and I do not expect them to come here. After all, they have their own god of death, after all, the god of life in this world is dead, and there is no hope of reproduction here. ”
