Chapter 5: The World Only I Know (Part II)
After the earth in front of the two of them changed again, the mountains and rivers were infinitely close to the modern appearance. No pop-up window is updated quickly// The scenery changes again, and they come to a large ancient battlefield, where soldiers in arms and armor are fighting together, blood is flowing like a river, and corpses are everywhere.
"The fifth kingdom of the earth, the kingdom of mankind. Tianyi said, "The end of my long journey...... Hum...... Or maybe I'll never reach the end. β
"Are these the ancient Romans?" the Moon Demon asked.
"Look at the question you asked. Tianyi smiled and said: "People are people, human beings in every corner of the earth are the same species, why should we be so meticulously divided." He shook his head slightly: "If the Dark Water Tribes take the strengths of each family, then the human race is simply a defective product after the combination of all kinds of dross. Humans do not have the spirit of harmonious coexistence and long lifespans of the creatures of the First Kingdom, but they are like the demon gods of the Second Kingdom, and their technological level has not yet caught up with that of the Third Kingdom, but they are far more inclined to draw lines between each other than those species that obviously have differences in appearance and race. He sighed, "Cats and dogs can be kept together, but people can't, these are the higher intelligent beings of the Fifth Kingdom." β
"Human beings have feelings, and your analogues may not have so-called 'sin', but they also have no goodness, no sense of morality, no consciousness of human beings, and no thinking about such issues. The Moon Demon said.
"You're right, I also recognize humanity. Tianyi said: "Maybe people are not such perfect creatures, but it is precisely because of this imperfection that they gradually become stronger and stand out after the destruction of one kingdom after another. A race forsaken by the gods that has finally proven itself to be the master of the planet. He changed his words: "It's just that this race is indeed very difficult to serve, and the work of the narrator is going extremely badly." β
At this time, the two came to a square above a square, and on the stake in the middle of the square, a man was tied. Looking at that face, it is clearly Tianyi.
"It seems that your mission there is not going very well. The Moon Demon joked, "Doesn't Octavian understand your ethics?"
"Nope. I didn't see their monarch, I just showed up there, and because I was different from them, I was considered a demon. The sheriff immediately ordered me to be tied up and burned to death, believing that this would improve the grain harvest that year. Tianyi explained: "It doesn't matter, I won't die anyway." β
In the square, Tianyi, who was tied to a pillar, was burned to ashes and drifted out with a strange wisp of black smoke. The landscape around the two of them also turned into pitch black, and after a few seconds, it lit up again. They were in a cross-shaped room, cluttered with strange objects, from a plough to a plough to a stone sundial, from a bronze sword to a sauce jar for pickles.
In one corner of this room, there is also a coffin. The coffin lid opens on its own at this point. It was Tianyi who came out of it.
Looking at his illusory image, Tianyi said, "God shed countless drops of blood, and each drop turned into a life. And I feel as if I am at the source of the bloodline, and when you are close enough to me, I can understand your structure and intervene on a physical level. But I'm not omnipotent. There's no way I'm going to know what a drop of blood looks like thousands of miles away, so my range of abilities is limited. And I can't understand or intervene in the human psyche.
All I know is. When I was created in human form, I was the source of all the evil in this world. Not only the source, but also the destination. I can be reborn as many times as there are sinful souls in the world, and the Erasure can still cut off himself, but I can't. β
Hearing this, the moon demon actually heard a little helplessness and bitterness from Tianyi's tone, she hesitated, Tianyi could be reborn and heard other people talk about it, could it be that all this is true?
Tianyi continued: "As you can see, this is the prototype of the bookstore, but in fact, in the beginning, it was just my home. Although I was born at a time when all the civilizations of the Third Kingdom had perished, God gave me the 'Black Literature', which records all the technology of the Third Kingdom, as I always say, volume does not mean anything, and there may be more in that book than in a hundred thousand libraries. This book is an important tool for me to carry out my work, and I can use it to guide the development of the human era basically at will. β
"Why don't you use the science system in the Eternal Core?" the Moon Demon asked.
"Because the difference in strength between humans and the Darkwater Tribes on a biological level is too great, there are very few parts of the Eternal Core system that can be used, and even the remaining small part is not so easy to promote. Tianyi explained: "Black literature is different, not only is the amount of knowledge much larger than that of the Eternal Core, but also very miscellaneous, ranging from the superficial to the esoteric, and even the gunsmith can find some low-end technology and apply it." β
"Hmm...... Your analogy is a bit insulting, but I guess I understand it. The Moon Demon replied.
The scenery in the subspace changed again, and the two came to an ancient city in the East, the city scale is magnificent, the city wall is covered with bricks and expanded, there are six city gates, one in the north and the south, and two in the east and west.
Tianyi set up a stall on the street, and hung a big flag "fortune telling" behind him, doing business without capital. The moon demon looked at the Tianyi in ancient costume, and his eyebrows fluttered to flicker a scholar who came to tell fortunes, and he couldn't help but chuckle: "You really have been a charlatan?"
Tianyi replied: "After years of contact with humans, I have learned one thing, and that is...... Reasoning is often useless. I disseminate the truth to the rulers for free and tell them where the future holds, and their response is often 'how can you prove it?', 'Does this matter to me?', 'How long will I live?', and 'Arrest him as my male favorite'. β
The Moon Demon chuckled, "Who?"
"Let's not delve into this topic. Tianyi turned around and said: "In short, it is useless to make human beings obedient and hold the truth in their hands, because most of the human beings are selfish and stupid, and the remaining part of the smart people have to mingle with the selfish and stupid group in order to survive."
I've summarized that the most efficient way to get humans to do what you say is to trade. Coercion and inducement give them motivation, and deception is a necessary skill.
Human beings are very predictable, but they change slightly in each era. My experiments with them have never been interrupted, and the so-called pulling a trigger affects the whole body. When you become proficient, everything is like a game. I can sit in a bookstore. Wait for them to come to the door, let one person contact the other, predict the reaction of the two people, repeated transactions, fraud. Psychological suggestion, watching them spin around the labyrinth, burned by the fire of their own sins.
I am no longer a narrator, I am a guide.
The human kingdom, unprecedentedly complex, unspeakably contradictory. They will not be crushed. But they don't introspect, they always make the same mistakes but don't forget to correct them repeatedly, and sin runs through the Fifth Kingdom, but goodness never dies out.
My mission is far from complete, and perhaps one day the kingdom of humanity will surpass all previous kingdoms and reach a level of prosperity that God could never have imagined, but this is certainly not now. So until then, I have to keep pushing the times. Solve the problems that humans can't take care of themselves. β
Earth in subspace. At this moment, it has completely become a modern society, with high-rise buildings and busy traffic, and Tianyi's bookstore is located on the corner of a small street.
"The twilight of the gods, the rampant sword and magic, the prosperity of religion and the horse, the short-lived alchemy and pseudoscience. After all this, we are in today's world. An earth developed by human beings themselves, with considerable scientific and technological capabilities. Tianyi said: "The period of the Fifth Kingdom is still very short. But what happened is more overwhelming than it was in the hundreds of millions of years before, maybe because I was molded into a human being, so I guess it will come from feelings.
As a human being, I also have feelings, but after so many years, I'm afraid they have long since faded. I have been married three times, I can't remember exactly the exact time, but all three times were before the fifth century AD, and none of my three wives lived past the age of forty, and the life span of a person was indeed too short at that time.
Marriage means nothing to me, just as the Christian oath says, 'till death separate you,' and I'm afraid that's what I'm talking about. So after three times, I never had a legal wife again, and I had quite a few lovers, some of whom could even make a beauty like you ashamed of herself. β
"Cut ......" The moon demon pursed his lips unhappily, this half-boasting and half-loss words are indeed not easy to accept.
"But after all, they are only passing by, people's youth is too short, and no matter how beautiful a woman is, when I look back, they are all white bones and dust. As soon as Tianyi said this, he suddenly stopped.
Subspace is back in a starry state.
"Until...... You show up. Tianyi said.
The Moon Demon's eyes widened, and she was overwhelmed by this sentence, and the topic returned to the beginning, and she asked again, "Hey, what do you want to do?"
"You're different. Tianyi said, "You are the first human I have met who can share my power with. β
"Huh?" the moon demon had an inexplicable expression.
"My ability can not only see the current level of other abilities, but I can also grasp the manifestation of their abilities at each level. Tianyi gave an example: " For example, the advisor's thread of truth, when he reaches the god level, he can cut the space and connect two different dimensions together, and he can even create a mirror world opposite to the surface world inside the earth; the god of the left path can cut the land and reshape the major sections when he reaches the god level, and even split the sea in half in a short time; when the ability of the gambling snake reaches the god level, if he wants to, he can replace the magnetism of the north and south poles of the earth and cause the end of the world; as for the blood lord, let's put it this way, if he reaches the god level, he can kill all the other god-level abilities aloneγ β
Tianyi's gaze fell on the Moon Demon: "Your ability is very strong, and special, your ability is innate, but your cultivation as an ability person is still too poor, and your rampage and loss of control are due to being too strong to control."
Just like Javiton Howl's Ξ©-level mutant who moved mountains and reclaimed the sea, even though his own ability level has been raised to the murderous level, he still can't show the full picture of his ability. It is conceivable that if Javiton is only a paper-level ability, then with that ability, it is very likely that the same situation will happen to you. β
The Moon Demon seemed to realize Tianyi's fingers: "You want to tell me that when I reach the god level, I will become just like you?"
"No, it's when you reach the god level, you have the conditions to share your power with me. Tian Yi replied: "Your body is in the realm of the god level, and it will have extreme adaptability and can withstand ......."
"Hmm...... Hehe......" The Moon Demon's smile stiffened slightly, and she interrupted Tianyi: "So, this is what you are trying to do with me? You want me to reach the god level." And then, like you, become a facilitator?"
"yes. Tianyi replied: "Why, the answer you have always wanted." Not so satisfying?"
"Answer?" the moon demon repeated, "Even if all of this you said is true, why should I promise you?" Her eyes were filled with pathos and sympathy, "Don't you feel pathetic and pitiful?"
Tianyi: "I'm just ......"
"You're just looking for a companion?" said the Moon Demon.
"You don't have to be with me. Tianyi: "I just need to know that somewhere in this world, there is still one of my kind." That's ......"
"Don't you think it's selfish, to let others live like you as human beings, and at the same time immortalize life. The moon demon interrupted him again: "I still have to complete the mission given by that bullshit 'god'." β
Tianyi really didn't expect the other party to refuse, he actually showed a puzzled and pleading expression: "You don't have to worry about those missions, I'll just be responsible for it alone." You can go anywhere you want and do what you like. Indulge in pleasures, you can be young and beautiful forever, live the life that others dream of, for as many years as you want, where is this kind ......of life not like people?
"Hmph...... Say so much...... You're also doing it for yourself. The Moon Demon sneered: "You hope that one day, even if that day is five hundred years or a thousand years from now." You wish you could be somewhere, see a familiar face, and you know her. And she knows you, too. We may share the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of all these years. Maybe they will sneer at each other, or maybe they will just say nothing and go their separate ways. But for you, that's fine, you just want to have a feeling in your heart that you're not alone in this world. β
Tianyi grabbed the moon demon's neckline. He pulled her closer, glared at her, and said, "Are you crazy? How can human beings reject eternity? Refuse pleasure? It's funny for you to pretend to be high now? You will grow old, and time will break your will. Take away your beauty, do you want to wait until then to crawl in front of me and beg me? I don't care about waiting, fifty years, seventy years, and I don't mind appearing in front of you and trampling your pride to the fullest!"
The Moon Demon behaved calmly, and she still responded to Tianyi's forced gaze with sympathetic eyes: "You put on a cynical and rebellious posture, replacing the rules of this society with your set of rules, revealing the truth in a naked, simple and crude, and extremely pessimistic way, so that everything will go naturally and settle down." So you treat everyone else as a hypocritical coward and a waste, but you are wrong, people are tactful and polite, just because they have a little humility in their hearts, because they know that they are not perfect, they admit that they will make mistakes, and they are in awe of the cycle of cause and effect, and everyone understands the truth of self-inflicted evil consequences in their hearts.
I won't come to beg you, never, and it doesn't matter if you kill me now. But if you want to come to me, put on the pretense of begging, and don't take it for granted that I do something, as if you were offering a gift to a lowly creature that cannot be refused, and I should not only accept your deal, but also be grateful to Dade.
Human beings have human dignity, and you have recognized yourself as a part of human beings, even if you are different from others, even if you have high capital, you should learn to be humble, otherwise you will always be so pathetic, in my eyes, you just live like a human being. β
Tianyi let go of his hand, took a deep breath, was silent for a full minute, and said, "I need another guide, not just because of my personal desire. He said very seriously: "There is another reason, that is, when necessary, you can replace me." β
Seeing that he didn't seem to be improvising, the Moon Demon continued, "Aren't you going to die?"
"I'm probably going crazy. Tianyi tilted his head and showed a wry smile: "As you said, I am a human being after all." For a long time, my spiritual world has reached a very dangerous situation. If one day, I become an instinctive animal with drooling at the corners of my mouth and only knows how to eat and drink Lazar, what will happen to the future of this planet?"
"They all say that you are narcissistic, don't you turn without the earth?" the moon demon said, "Can't you learn to let go?"
"I was created by God to fulfill my duty, and if I give up this duty, what is the meaning of my existence in the world?" asked Tianyi rhetorically.
The Moon Demon didn't know how to answer, but when she heard this, she understood why the guy called "Eraser" had ended himself.
"If there were no insects, pesticides would not have been invented, and if humans had no fingers, gloves would not have fingers. If I had been created for a purpose that I had denied myself, then I might have gone crazy at once. Tianyi said.
"It's all the same, who knows why I was born into the world, do you want to say what the meaning of life is?" said the Moon Demon.
Tianyi snorted coldly: "I knew the meaning of my life from the beginning, and this is the difficult place." Most human beings don't know the meaning of their lives until they die, but they have something that I can't enjoy, and that's death. He picked up the bookmark again: "Let's go out first, we'll talk about you later." β
The Moon Demon handed him his hand: "You'd better not bother me for ten years." β
He smiled, and the usual Tianyi came back at this moment: "Let's talk about it again." (To be continued.) )
