"So...... Where do I start? When I was a general. I'm a very good general, I've fought a lot of battles, and I've almost never lost. Even though I killed many, many people, even though many people were afraid of me, I knew that they were also worshipping me and thinking that I was amazing and I felt so myself. ”

"It's remarkable. Sui Xiong nodded and said seriously.

"But then I realized that it was all unreal. All my efforts, all my hard work, all my achievements, and all my injuries, the support of the army and the people, the affirmation of my colleagues, and the king's trust in me were all worthless! In the face of an enemy army with overwhelming superiority, I could not resist at all, and if I had not run fast, I would not have been able to protect myself. The Lord of Radiance sighed deeply, the evil aura on his face weakened a little, "When I was running for my life alone, being chased by a large number of pursuers, what I felt was not fear or nervousness, but ...... Emptiness. ”

"Emptiness, utter emptiness. It turns out that everything is fake, and nothing can be trusted. The only one who can rely on it is myself, and the only one who can rely on it is the sword in my hand!"

"Do you think your sword came out of thin air?" Sui Xiong sneered, "The miner mined the iron ore, the smelter cast it into an iron ingot, and the blacksmith made it into a weapon, and maybe the mage enchanted it Without them, where did you get the sword?"

The Lord of Radiance smiled again, no intention of arguing.

Even if they have to fight a big war sooner or later, even if they all understand this, at least at this moment, they are still sitting here and communicating peacefully.

In that case, why quarrel, and it is good for each other to say what is in their hearts.

Especially for yourself.

Say it to make it easier.

Next, the Lord of Radiance tells a lot.

life, ideals, all kinds of pasts.

And all of this, in the final analysis, is nothing more than two words.

Emptiness.

"Everything in this world will go from birth to death, and after death, it will reappear in another way with the flow of the great cycle, and go through a new cycle again...... Repeat and never stop. "The Lord of Radiance's expression is melancholy and vicissitudes," in such a cycle, whether it is love or hate, victory or defeat, it is no match for the power of time. Everything will eventually disappear under the washing of the great cycle, leaving no trace, only this cycle will never stop...... In such a world, isn't everything I did and everything I went through back then empty?"

Sui Xiong was silent, and as an artist, he could certainly understand this sense of emptiness.

So he said, "There is always emptiness, but we are all gods who transcend time, immortal and immortal." As transcendents, we don't need to be empty. ”

Even if you become a god and live forever, you don't really transcend the Great Cycle. From ancient times to the present, I don't know how many gods have fallen, but have they really gained eternity? Even those gods who have lived from ancient times to the present, those who are even older than the Great Cycle. They're just barely breathing!" said the Lord of Radiance disdainfully, "or trembling in their own world, or hiding in a place where no one can find them, or becoming a slave of the Great Cycle, toiling to maintain the stability of the Great Cycle, isn't it empty?"

Sui Xiong couldn't help but ask: "Then in your opinion, is it worthless to lead everyone forward like me, correct those wrong things and rules, and establish a new and better new era?"

"Your thoughts are very similar to mine, if you can't find value, then let others affirm my value. The Lord of Light said, "For a long time after I became a god, I was addicted to such a life. I led humanity forward, winning victory and success after victory, and eventually becoming the most powerful race in the world. I find joy in the joy of everyone, value in the trust and adoration of everyone, to fill my emptiness. ”

Sui Xiong nodded: "You did a good job at that time, even if it was me, I have to admire you." ”

The Lord of Radiance smiled warmly, but then retracted: "However, the emptiness cannot be filled, it is always there, haunting me. ”

Sui Xiong looked at his face that had a little bit of humanity and sighed secretly.

The Lord of Radiance is undoubtedly a brilliant hero, but he can overcome all kinds of enemies, but he cannot overcome the emptiness in his heart. This may be the so-called "external demons are invincible, and inner demons are difficult to prevent" in the immortals I watched before I crossed over.

But he thought about it for a moment, and the reason why the Lord of Radiance worked so hard and kept moving forward was precisely to fill the emptiness in his heart. If there was no existence of this "heart demon", then perhaps there would not have been that earth-shattering achievement, and it would not have been able to reach today's height.

It is difficult to evaluate between success and failure, which is better and which is bad.

After sighing, the Lord of Radiance said, "I talked to the teacher about the anguish in my heart, and the teacher said that he could not understand my pain, but felt that the reason why I was empty and painful was probably because I did not have enough levels, I did not stand high enough, and I did not see far enough. The powerful divine power may be enough to make the whole world look sideways, but above this, there is a higher realm. ”

"So, we started to study the great powers, to study how to get to that state. ”

Sui Xiong nodded slightly, most of the powerful divine powers were studying how to reach the great divine powers, although the reasons were different, but "wanting to see the scenery from high places" might be the same.

It has nothing to do with good or evil, wanting to be higher, faster and stronger is the instinct of all living beings.

"We have looked at a lot of paths and made a lot of attempts. In the end, the teacher believed that no matter how strong the powerful divine power is, it cannot break through and become a great divine power. Between the two, there is a fundamental difference. So if you want to break through, the surest way is to adjust your essence and allow yourself to progress in essence. And to do this kind of thing, we must first find our own essence, eliminate all external interference, and find the most fundamental and basic things. Find your true 'self'. ”

Sui Xiong's eyes narrowed, and he remembered that Morani had shown him the scene before the fall of the god of knights.

At that time, the priesthood of the god of knights was constantly weakened, and finally even the most basic priesthood was gone, but its power became stronger and stronger, and it was beyond imagination.

"The teacher decided to experiment with this path himself, tried, and failed. The Lord of Radiance sighed and said, "Even if he is strong enough to rival several powerful divine powers, his essence is still not strong enough to sustain such an attempt. But judging from the brilliance of the last moment, I think that the path found is the right one, but I don't have enough strength to go down this path and go through. ”

Sui Xiong was stunned for a moment, then he understood, and couldn't help but sigh a little.

Even if he became a great god before, he couldn't understand the situation of the knight god at that time. It was only now, beyond the attributes and laws, that he truly understood what was going on.

What the god of knights has found is not actually the path of powerful divine power to great divine power, but the first step from great divine power to transcendent.

"The teacher is really amazing, just when he has great divine power, he has already seen through the direction to the 'transcendent'. The Lord of Radiance, of course, also understood the truth of the knight god's step, and said with a look of admiration, "Although he favors his youngest student too much, this does not affect Yu's wisdom. ”

“...... You're talking about my eldest brother, and the god of knights doesn't even tell him who he really is. That old man passed on the throne of the main god of mankind to you, and used his life to find a way forward for you, so you are not satisfied?" Sui Xiong frowned, and couldn't help but retort loudly.

"You won't understand, for a teacher, to really care about a person, is not to interfere, not to restrict, to let the development be free. Help only when you need it most...... That's how Joel Gardeman was treated. And I'm just seriously wounded in the war with the ancestral beasts, and I'm just looking for a successor to take over my job!"

Sui Xiong shook his head, he really couldn't understand the thoughts of the Lord of Radiance.

He couldn't help but be a little suspicious now, Uther, the Lord of Radiance...... Could it be that you're already crazy? )
