Prologue: The Eye of Tears (4)
"Don't!" At that moment, a huge hole suddenly appeared in Olivia's heart, and the hand stretched out forward seemed to be getting farther and farther away from the back that could not be resisted, and his vision was blurred. Indeed, compared to this kind of life, they are too fragile, so fragile that all the struggles just now are not even resistance, even if Xiao Yifan interrupts Horus's forbidden release, but the ending has not changed at all.
"Didn't you just ask me where my divinity is, and what is the purpose of my life so far?" Suddenly, Horus's prophecy sounded again.
Olivia looked up suddenly, Horus still had his back to her, but the pair of golden wings were retracted, and the end of the spear, the tip of the spear did not pierce Xiao Yifan's body, but gently lifted him up.
"Gavin!" Olivia's clenched heart suddenly relaxed, and the momentary relief made her collapse limply and sobbed lowly.
"I tell you now, I have long since lost my divinity. β
Xiao Yifan hung his head weakly, but his arm only climbed the divine spear, and only the sound of breathing came out.
Horus seemed to know that in spite of this, he could listen to himself: "I was only a life, and I hope that future life will give the answer to the nature of life." You who asked me this question obviously can't answer it for me. β
Horus raised his head slightly, facing the statue of Anubis with his eyes closed. Olivia suddenly felt that the back of the god had a different kind of melancholy and loneliness.
There was a faint light flickering on the divine spear, but the injuries on Xiao Yifan's body were recovering rapidly, and in just a moment, he was able to stand firm on his own.
"The God in front of you is actually dead. β
Xiao Yifan's eyes sank, obviously not understanding what the other party meant.
"In a world where the concept of time can disappear, you should feel the chaotic overlap of time and the treacherous logic of cause and effect. This is indeed a means for me to continue to live, but this 'survival' is meaningless, and the moment I return to this world, I will return to the state of life I was in when I entered it, and I have less than a thousandth of a second left in my life. β
Xiao Yifan's pupils contracted suddenly. A thousandth of a second is negligible time for any life, and it is ridiculous to choose this meaningless way of "surviving" for the sake of this time.
"I just don't agree with some of the propositions. And my purpose is ...... here"
Horus pointed the spear at the other weighing pan of the scale, and Xiao Yifan, who subconsciously thought that there would be a feather there, suddenly widened his eyes.
It was a pyramid the size of a pendant, carved with ancient ornaments, and on the triangular surface of the front, an eye was brought to life.
Suddenly, the eye seemed to open and cast a blinding orange light. Xiao Yifan and Olivia both subconsciously closed their eyes, and at the same time, Xiao Yifan also felt a sharp pain coming from the center of his eyebrows, and he even had the illusion that his forehead was bleeding under the stimulation of the pain.
The orange glow condensed into a vortex less than three inches above Xiao Yifan's head, and gradually, the different levels of light intensity changed the shape of the vortex to resemble an eye.
The source of all-sightedness, also known as the omniscient eye, is one of the ten special pupils, and its wavelength is embodied in the "orange" of colored light, which is generated by the pineal gland as the essence. It is very legendary in Western religious mythology, and it is said that God has this eye, and the eye of power in Egyptian mythology coincides perfectly with the description of this eye.
Omniscient and omnipotent, knowing all the essence of the world. That's the power that comes with this eye.
The eyes of omniscience opened, and the answers to the questions that Xiao Yifan had just asked Horus no longer had to be answered by the god himself, but by the power of omniscience who knew the past, the present and the future.
The sun god fell from the altar, the ancient Egyptian land fell into icy darkness, the pyramids stretched from the foot to the horizon, and the oracle enveloped the whole world, and the world rose and fell on the verge of collapse. The great civilization of this mythical age is dying, and the silent universe behind the stars seems to be like a place where life foretells them to lead.
A red meteor slid across the sky, the earth turned into scorched earth, blood gathered into rivers, and the desert under the starlight was soaked black, and everything was terrifying.
Countless tall bodies collapsed to the ground, and the only ones that stood were the golden back of a falcon-headed human body and the jet-black divine body of a jackal-headed human body. The balance on the scales has been broken, desires have eroded ideals, and life has been ruthlessly destroyed.
The remaining gods looked at the blue light emitted by a green vine in the sky, and the green light gradually became richer, and finally shot out a chilling sword qi and pointed at the earth.
"Is it the wrong path that we have gone so far?" Anubis asked Horus softly, turning his tired body.
"Can't you measure all the weight of the world?"
"I can't measure the past, the future, and the meaning of life. Anubis was infinitely melancholy, "The long road of life, I don't know whether to go retrograde and trace back to the source or relentlessly explore the way to the future." But I know that life is about more than just 'living'. β
Looking at the devastated land, Horus also seemed to understand the weight of life.
"The civilization we have created has turned into ashes of history, and where there is no history, can life last forever?"
"Without history, without the only way to death, life would be less essential for struggle and less for the beauty of struggle. That kind of happy and depressed way of living is no longer life......"
"......" was silent for a long time before Anubis spoke softly, "Still, I want to protect the last hope of our ideals. β
"The last hope?"
"You all-knowing eye that leads to the ages and the present. β
"I'll leave it to you," Horus said wearily, "I'm tired. β
The blue light lit up the sky, and the sword aura overflowed, and then, as if cutting through time and space, it stabbed towards the last god.
Anubis plunged his scepter into the ground, gouging out his heart and placing it on the scale, and Horus put his eyes on another weighing pan. In the next moment, the green sword pierced their bodies at the same time.
All the matter around it collapses into a singularity under the scales of Anubis, and then a twisted world unfolds, space unfolds into three dimensions, the concept of time collapses, the earth collapses, the sun and the moon alternate, and the stars bloom.
"Poofβ"
Anubis looked at what he was seeing and couldn't believe itβthe golden spear of Horus pierced the bright red heart on the scale, and then he ripped out his own heart and put it on the scale.
"How can you ...... So?"
"You're tired, too, and sleeping here is the best place to go. I am the king of the sky, the son of the desert, this longest, the most dying, the coldest wait, let me bear it, this is the duty of the king, brother......" Horus's voice was more relieved than ever, and his hand rested lightly on Anubis's shoulder.
"Brother...... Brother ......"
The soul of the great god Anubis collapsed into starlight and drifted away, his body still clutching the scale. All that left the world was the god of the Falyabusa with the human body spreading its golden wings, and the boundless orange-yellow desert fell into eternal loneliness.
......
"The greatness of life lies not in the great force, but in the will and ideals that will never be destroyed. Horus's voice grew farther and farther away, more and more illusory, "Our demise is also due to the accumulation of arrogance that once were. I can't give you an answer to the essence of life, where the future leads, where the origin comes from, you need to explore, this road that no life can avoid, I hope you can leave a milestone in the history of life. β
"Divine ......" Xiao Yifan suddenly opened his eyes and stretched out his hands to grab something, but at this time, the desert scene became a wall, and he was touching the wall with both hands, and the carvings on the wall fell, and after a while, the entire wall turned into fine sand.
......
"Are you sure?" asked the man in a cyan hanfu as he looked at the stone tablet in front of him with a frown.
"Get out of the way, what can you do if I explain to you?" You Chuwei gave Cen Yu a roll of his eyes, "It's okay if you don't understand, just shout 'six-six-six'." There is a precedence in hearing the Tao, and there is a specialization in the art industry, do you understand?"
"But they disappeared in Zimbabwe, and it's a bit too much for you to go to Baghdad to find someone. β
You Chuwei didn't speak, and the "pale silver hole" on his head kept spinning, slowly groping for the line of time through the entanglement of cause and effect.
Suddenly, a string of words flashed on the stone tablet, but no one present could read it, but everyone felt a strong magnetic field through their senses. Then, the entire stele glowed blue.
Soon, two figures jumped out of the fluorescent. A smile appeared on You Chuwei's face, and then he cast a playful glance at Cen Yu.
"You ......" Xiao Yifan's stunned only lasted for a moment, the orange light above his head flashed, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "Fortunately, the timing of coming back is not too outrageous......
"Chairman Xiao, we've run a lot of places for you!"
"Chu Wei, without you, I really wouldn't be able to go back to this point in time, so this is the bank of the Euphrates River?"
"Yes, on the outskirts of Baghdad, the capital of Iraq. β
"Thank you. Xiao Yifan smiled, and his eyes fell on a medium-sized lady beside You Chuwei, "What is this lady called?"
"What do I say, I'm going to say?" You Chuwei patted Asakura Isashi's shoulder and couldn't help but laugh.
Asakura's smile also froze for a moment, his height of less than 1.7 meters, restrained skeleton, small and delicate facial features and casual neutral clothes made him look a little heroic, but he didn't look like a man at all.
"It turned out to be Mr. Asakura, disrespectful and disrespectful. Xiao Yifan apologized embarrassedly, and when You Chuwei called him "Counselor", he instantly knew who this person in front of him was.
Akyu Asakura, a special member of the adjudication team, 40 years old, born in Ise City, Mie Prefecture, Japan, is an honorary member of the committee, with a gene activation rate of 79.3%, and is in charge of the former month of the palace.
Looking at Xiao Yifan's appearance, Olivia "giggled" and laughed, although she said that Chinese was very lame, there was no problem in listening to people's communication.
"You're all right, right? If you don't, come with us to a conference in Greece. β
"Wait, I want to know today's date. β
"It's October. You Chuwei said, "But since you asked this question, it means that the concept of time in the Courtyard of the Gods you entered is a little different from here, right?"
"Yes," Xiao Yifan naturally knew how sensitive this "time traveler" was to time, "I didn't expect that it had been half a year, and we had only spent a few days in it......"
"The specific things will be studied again when we go back, and this time the joint Senate is very important. Cen Shu reminded, "Your Highness Pandoragon will also be with you, and Britain will also participate." β
Olivia nodded. Several people walked towards the exit of this underground ruin.
"Joint Senate? It seems that a lot has happened in the past six months. β
"Of course, but the hardest thing to deal with is that you don't have any awareness at all. β
"What do you mean?" Xiao Yifan blinked.
"You've only been in the Courtyard of the Gods for three or five days, but the one in your house has been alone for half a year. Cen said slowly, and pointed at Olivia, "And I have been missing for half a year with this girl......
Hearing this, Xiao Yifan suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and his smile gradually solidified, petrified in place. He turned his eyes to Olivia and Cen Death for help, but both looked up at the sky at the same time.
"It's a beautiful day! The sky is clear and the sun is shining. Olivia turned her back to Xiao Yifan without mercy.
"Yes, although it's actually night...... Cen Yu also sighed very earnestly, they haven't walked out of the cave yet, where can they see the sky.
Only Xiao Yifan's mind is full of black lines.
