123 God and man
Woo woo –
The time-space train with white gas slowly drove into the space-time tunnel, and Bai Yiquan, who was sitting on the train, watched through the window as the figures of the senior brothers and sisters became smaller little by little, and finally disappeared from view completely.
It wasn't until this moment that he really left Nil Gani.
Thomas in the cubicle was holding a cigarette in his mouth, squinting at Bai Yiquan while swallowing the clouds: "Don't you sleep?" ”
"I can't sleep, can you snuff out the cigarette?"
"Of course. Thomas took a puff of the cigarette in his mouth and spit it on Bai Yiquan's face, "Impossible." ”
"Damn, can you not be so lacking in virtue. Bai Yiquan's face was full of resentment.
"What is virtue? Let me spend more than 30 hours in this cramped space and do nothing. Thomas's face was full of disdain, "I'd rather not have this kind of morality." ”
"I have to say that Senior Brother, your three views are the most crooked ...... I have ever seen."
"Prizes have been awarded. ”
Bai Yiquan thought that his skin thickness was far inferior to Thomas's, so he gave up the idea of arguing with him, climbed into the bed and lay down and stared at the ceiling. Thomas smoked quietly, one after another, and the whole compartment was filled with the smell of smoke, but Bai Yiquan didn't have much disgust, maybe he was starting to get used to it.
The compartment was quiet, so quiet that only the sound of gears rubbing against the rails was the sound of the gears.
"Senior brother. Bai Yiquan suddenly spoke.
"Call me a mentor, bastard. Thomas didn't even lift his head, "What?"
"You say, what will become of Nil Gani in the future?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, Nirgani was originally a world without gods...... Bai Yiquan organized the language, "but Jörmungadr is here, although he is now dead. But there must be a lot of people seeing it, right?"
"What if you see it? What if you don't?" Thomas asked rhetorically.
Bai Yiquan didn't know how to answer for a while.
"I see what you mean. Do you want to ask how the presence of gods would affect a world where there were no gods? Thomas cocked Erlang's legs and squinted at Bai Yiquan, "To be honest, it's quite surprising that you would consider this kind of question." ”
"Why do you say that?"
"Because you seem to have a bit of an owe on IQ, not like someone who would study such deep issues. ”
Bai Yiquan was annoyed and was about to scold back, but he heard Thomas say lazily: "But, you have already asked, so it doesn't hurt to tell you something." The answer is what I just said, whether you see it or not, it doesn't become anything. ”
"What do you mean?" Bai Yiquan was stunned.
Thomas snuffed out the cigarette butt and threw it into the ashtray: "In your mind, are humans a fragile creature?"
"Well, isn't it?"
"See how you understand it. Compared to the gods, humans are indeed very fragile creatures. But then again, humans are a race with the same long history as the gods, but the gods have declined, and even though they were very powerful in ancient times, it is not the gods that dominate the worlds today, but humans, have you ever wondered why?"
Bai Yiquan subconsciously shook his head.
"Natural selection, survival of the fittest. Thomas said lightly, "The gods are far ahead of humans in every way, but they can't see through this. Human beings are inferior to the gods in every way, but because they understand this, they have been able to reproduce to this day. ”
"Sounds a little profound......"
"There's a fart in the depths. "I'll give you an example." God and man originally lived in the same place, and the environment was very harsh. God said that I didn't like such a bad environment, and then I went to find a better environment to live in, and human beings felt that although it was bad, it was not unbearable, so they lived. ”
"And then?"
"Let's start with humans. In the case of the harsh environment that cannot be changed, man can only choose to change himself, and the sun tans his skin. The cracked soil required Jean to put more effort into supporting himself, and the long hours of labor greatly shortened his lifespan, and in the end, he only lived for a short time. ”
"Sounds miserable, but what about God?"
"God has crossed thousands of mountains and rivers and gone through countless tribulations, but he has relied on his powerful ability to find a paradise. ”
"That sounds very inspiring, but brother, are you just trying to show that the gods are not only stronger than us in all aspects, but also stronger in will?"
"Call me mentor, bastard. Thomas lit himself another cigarette, "The story isn't over yet." Although the human being died, his children survived and lived in that environment as well. But his children began to think, why not dig a cellar to cool off when it was hot, and if the land was so difficult to grow living crops, could it be replaced by something else? ”
Bai Yiquan frowned and began to think about Thomas's words.
"As for the god. Gods themselves have a near-infinite lifespan, and few gods are willing to reproduce because they are too powerful. Yes, he found a paradise and lived there for many, many years. But even the most beautiful place will get tired of staying for hundreds of years, until one day he is completely tired of it and is determined to find a more comfortable place. ”
"And then?"
"It's a long cycle. He always found something satisfying, but he got tired of it, and they had to rely on constant search to pass the long years. However, although they are powerful, they are not strong enough to conquer the universe. Someday, they will die because of their intense curiosity and exploration. In this way, they who have no heirs will truly dissipate into these thousands of worlds. ”
Bai Yiquan didn't know what to say to express his feelings, what was this?
Of course, this is just a metaphor, and I told you before that the vast majority of gods die in civil strife. The battle of the gods in antiquity was staged in various worlds. They are different from human beings, human beings will make peace if they can't fight, they will make peace if they fight too badly, and they will still make peace when they are tired of fighting. But the gods are different, they seek to kill each other completely, because the gods all have a long life, and if they don't kill each other completely, this fight is meaningless. ”
Bai Yiquan said softly: "It sounds a little sad. ”
"Yes, the gods are a sad race. When the descendants of that human race had multiplied in the harsh land for countless generations, the extremely adventurous god had long since dissipated without knowing where he was, and no one could even remember him, remembering that there was once such a god in that land. ”
Bai Yiquan suddenly thought of something: "You mean, the same is true of Jörmungad?"
"Yes, both Loki and Jörmungad, the god of fire, once lived on Earth and left their traces. Norse mythology is the most direct example, but then they all left, and no one knows where they went. So it is impossible to determine whether they even existed, and the reason why myths are regarded as fiction is precisely because the gods abandoned that world. ”
Thomas finished another cigarette, and this time he didn't mean to continue: "Now I can answer your previous question." What will become of Nil Ghani? My answer is, it is still the same as before. If Jörmungård had not died, then it would have been difficult to say, but Jörmungård was dead, and Nirgani had once again become a world without gods. What about the people who saw Jörmungård with their own eyes? The earthlings of the past have seen it, but then it has become a 'fictional mythical story'. Nothing beats time. ”
Bai Yiquan lowered his head and pondered Thomas's words.
Thomas suddenly took out two parchment books from his bag and handed them to Bai Yiquan, who took them with a puzzled face.
"I know what else you're trying to ask, about Lina Eric. She did kill a lot of people, but again, we couldn't have killed Jörmengad without her. Thomas stared at Bai Yiquan, "She once mentioned justice to you, what do you think of her justice?"
Bai Yiquan was stunned, and then shook his head: "I don't know." ”
"Think about it slowly, you'll know one day. No one can answer this kind of question except yourself. Thomas continued, "As for these two books, they can actually be counted as follow-ups to the one. The old man finished them before he died, and the end was that the brave man returned, killed the Great Demon King, and then married the girl he had been waiting for for many years. ”
Bai Yiquan raised his head suddenly, and looked at the two parchment books stacked together in a daze.
"On the surface, she looks like a vicious old witch, but in fact, she is still a little girl waiting for her beloved to come home. Thomas sighed softly, "Give them to the real girl, I remember you promised her." ”
