Chapter 266: A Blockbuster Soul Crystal
What Roland saw was that patches of crystals were stacked on top of each other, like a hill!
The purple glow was unusually strong, and at the same time extremely dazzling. Many behemoths were arching beside the crystals, feasting on them. How similar this scene is to the scene Roland saw in Two Moon City!
It seems that the original stone of the statue of the goddess came from here!
Roland and Dingenier involuntarily leaned forward and looked around the edge of the crystal mountain, trying to know what the source of the crystal was.
Roland didn't believe that such a strange thing had suddenly appeared here.
Sure enough, it wasn't long before Roland noticed something strange wrapped around the side of the crystal. It was like a huge black and twisted branch, tightly wound around the top and inside of the crystal, emitting a strange light in the middle, as if a strange aura was emitting out!
Although he felt a little uncomfortable, Roland couldn't help but reach out and touch the crystals.
The moment he touched the spar, Roland only felt that his fingertips were corroded by thick acid, and it was very stinging, so he subconsciously withdrew his hand. Then he looked down and saw that his hands were full of blood blisters.
Damn, what the hell is going on?
Dingennier glanced at Roland, and somehow there was a melancholy look in his eyes, it was obvious that he had sensed something. Dingurnier removed the gloves from his hands, revealing his slender and somewhat excessive fingers, and even touched the crystals.
Unlike Roland, whose hands were covered in blood, even after touching the hot crystal, Dingenier's hands were still as smooth and white as before. It's just that for some reason, there was a bit of loneliness and disappointment in his eyes.
But Dingenier was quick and put his gloves back on. Speaking of which, he almost never seems to show his hand in front of others.
"What are we going to do next?" Roland asked.
Dingenier paused slightly, his eyes clearly showed a look of loss, and said, "Don't do anything, this is not something we can solve." When I get back to the Holy Court, I'll discuss it with the others before making plans! ”
With that, Dingenier slowly turned away. It seems that he is not going to stay here any longer.
Roland was slightly stunned, so he had to leave with Dingenier.
After all, Roland alone may not be able to do anything.
After a short walk on the way back, Dingenier suddenly stopped. He turned to look at Roland, and did not speak, as if he was thinking about something.
Roland looked at Dingenier and looked a little overwhelmed, but his mood at the moment still became a little heavy. Because although Dingenier didn't say anything just now, Roland still noticed something a little wrong from Dingenier's actions just now: Did Dingennier want to tell him something?
Dingenier began to slowly approach Roland, his eyes staring at Roland like that, making Roland feel a little uncomfortable.
Dingenier suddenly spoke, "You...... Do you know what the Holy Court is for? ”
"Holy Court?" Roland didn't know why Dingenier suddenly said that, and couldn't help but be a little stunned. But after thinking about this question carefully, he replied, "To maintain the balance of this world?" and ...... between various races Relationship? ”
"You're right, but the balance is not what you think......" Dingenier's face was a little pale, and he looked very bad.
He sighed and said, "Humans are probably the race in this world that knows the least about the truth of the world...... And you have survived as a human since you were a child, and you are afraid that you don't know many things. ”
"At the beginning of the continent, the world was not what you see it now, and the relationship between the various races was not as entangled and complicated as it is now. The Holy Court did not appear for the simple reason you think. Whatever harmony between races is an illusion...... The truth is nothing more than to maintain the existence of this hypocritical and fragile world. ”
Roland didn't understand what Dingenier meant.
Dingenier glanced back at Roland and said, "The creatures and matter in this world complement each other, and there is a fragile and delicate balance between them. And this balance is inextricably linked to each race. Now you know that we Protoss have no soul. But have you ever wondered why we don't have souls? ”
Roland was slightly stunned: Yes, when he first knew that he had no soul, he was depressed for a long time! But because there were more important things to do, Roland didn't think about it deeply. So now that Dingennier has brought it up again, Roland is really puzzled by it.
"Everything that exists in the world exists in the form of matter and energy. Although the two can be converted into each other, a delicate and fragile balance is always maintained because the total amount remains the same. The soul, on the other hand, is a form of energy. The original earth represents the most basic matter in this world.
"There are spirits in the earth, and all the souls that exist in this world were originally born from the earth. These souls and matter fused together to form the original race of spirits, the creatures and elves of the Forest of Merlin. After the death of the elf, the physical body is annihilated, and the material returns to the earth; The soul, on the other hand, re-enters reincarnation and is reborn as a human being, which is the original source of the human soul. Later, as human beings multiplied from generation to generation, generation after generation of souls were reborn as human beings, and the current world was gradually formed. ”
Roland listened to Dingenier's words silently, feeling a little incredible.
Dingenilqing continued: "But the total amount of matter and energy in this world remains unchanged, so it is impossible for the soul to be infinitely derived without annihilation. Because if something like this really happens, it will lead to an imbalance in the world. And because the soul has to re-enter samsara, it can't return to dust as easily as matter. Thus the demons emerged as a mediator of the balance between spirit and matter. As long as the soul passes through the hands of demons, it will be annihilated and will not be able to re-enter the cycle again. And this is the original balance of the world.
"But the difference in strength between humans and demons is too great. So soon, due to the unrestrained hunting of souls by demons, the number of spirits on the earth decreased dramatically. Many of the demons that live on spirits are also unable to survive, and some of them have transformed into low-level demons that do not need souls to survive, and some have evolved into high-level demons or even humanoid demons that do not need to feed on spirits, which is the source of the different forms of demons. On the other hand, under the hunt of demons, there is also a desperate scene in the human world, some people are envious of the longevity of demons, but at the same time they are afraid of the pursuit of demons, so they can not see the light of day for the rest of their lives, gain a longer lifespan, and begin to relocate to the bottom of the sea that will never see the sun, that is, the current sea tribe; And there are some human beings, in order to obtain the power to resist demons, at the cost of their souls, in exchange for the so-called immortal power and powerful abilities, and that is our ancestors, the first gods in this world...... Therefore, there is no need for us to feel guilty for the worship of human beings, because our ancestors have repaid it with their own flesh and blood tens of thousands of years ago. ”
Roland looked at Dingenier directly, and his words were already startled, and Roland was a little speechless.
