The first option was to stay, and at that time Bester was in a pure state of soul, unprecedentedly sober, but it was impossible for her to stay in the world on her own. The powerful Osiris uses the undead magic that only the gods can master, so that she can stay in the underworld, use the power of the underworld to repair her soul, and once again attach herself to the gods everywhere, maybe she can reunite her body, and one day she can become a god who is truly beyond eternal life.

This seems to be the best choice, she is also the goddess of Best, the waiter of Hades, with the hope of transcending eternal life.

The second option is to forget, the imprint of the soul is the soul itself, it is impossible to forget it by saying that it is forgotten, Osiris asked Bester to unleash the imprint of the soul to him, as Schrödinger did to Amon today, saying the "name" and the "true language". But Osiris wasn't just for the experience, he had the means to incorporate these imprints into his soul, so Best didn't exist.

This seems to be the worst option, which means the end of everything, and the three hundred years of cultivation will eventually disappear, and the soul imprint will be left to Osiris.

The third option is to refuse, because the first two options must be of Best's own will, otherwise Osiris will not be able to stop her. Best can be regarded as Osiris who did not appear at all at this moment, still combining the soul with the new life, and becoming a cat according to her wishes, which is the only thing she can do in the end of her three hundred years of cultivation.

These three choices are complicated to say, but there is no concept of time, it is a moment of clarity of the soul, and once Best has made a decision, everything is over.

...... Amon finally understood what "the examination of fate and the judgment of the end" were, and he did not open his eyes, but sat for a whole day before he could barely recover. Although it was not him who went through the final test, it was also immersive, and Amun's soul was wounded, which could not be repaired in a day or two.

The place where he was located was a village built by Moses and others, like a small town of Duk, with two neat rows of stone houses in the center of a temple and a square in front of the temple. Amon sat in front of the altar in the temple when he unfolded Schrödinger's soul imprint.

This temple was built by Moses and others for their god "Aroha", Moses never saw the face of Aroha, and Aroha was the "only god", and Moses was not allowed to build statues like other temples, so there was only one totem symbolizing the surname on the altar - the cross of light.

The cross is divided into four parts, the top, the left, and the right, the upper, left, and right sides are of equal length, and the lower side is twice the length of the other three. In the center of the cross there is a sun-shaped ring that radiates light, and at the top, left, and right ends of the cross, there are three small radial rings, which look like three small crosses.

This image is widely spread in the Tianshu continent, it symbolizes the "light", the light that shines on the world and awakens all things, and on many occasions it also symbolizes the sun, which gives all things growth and is the source of life.

In addition to the embellishment of light and the sun, the cross itself is also a mystical totem that has been popular in the Tianshu Continent since ancient times. In the kingdom of Barron and Hatt, the cross was a torture instrument on which people who had committed serious sins were hung for public display. Thus, the cross-shaped totem also symbolizes suffering and the desire to be redeemed in the midst of suffering. In Eju, cross-shaped wooden stakes were inserted into the river beach to represent the height of the rising floodwaters, a totem that was later seen as a symbol of life and reproduction.

Moses had a cross of light in the temple that symbolized faith in Aroha and had complex meanings.

Schrödinger stood in front of Amun, and from the time he came out to the time he fell and then to the time he came out again, Amon finally opened his eyes. Schrödinger asked with concern, "Are you okay, are you seriously injured?"

Amon reached out and picked up the cat, and gently stroked it in his arms: "I'm fine, but I have lost my strength, and I'm afraid it will take a while to recover." ”

Amon had once again lost his strength, not the last test, but a sense of being imprisoned. He was injured in Schrödinger's soul imprint and needed some time to recover, but his body was normal, and he was still a sturdy young man of twenty years old.

Amon stood up with Schrödinger in his arms and glanced at the cross on the altar, which symbolized the faith of the people of Duketown, but Moses and the others were on a journey of suffering. He sighed and walked out with Schrödinger in his arms, holding the cat in the crook of his arm like a baby, and said as he walked: "The weather is good, the air is also good, let's go for a walk in the mountains, and by the way, we will catch some game." I can't use magic for the time being, so I won't go down to the river to catch fish today. ”

In the following month, the servants of the territory saw the general return to a leisurely and comfortable life, he did not ride a horse or bring an entourage, and every day he led a cat around with wine and food, and watched all kinds of scenery in the world. The places they went to most were on the banks of the Ronnie River and in the fields near Mount Horeb, and no one else could hear Amun's intimate conversation with the cat.

Amon once asked Schrödinger, "It's normal for you to reject the second option, but why don't you agree to the first option?"

Schrödinger replied unhappily and angrily: "I only understood at the end of the road what the 'examination of fate, the judgment of the end' is, the gods have guided me on that path, and what I have done on that path is ultimately my own end, do I have to go to Bester again? ”

In a sense, Best has always been a tool of the gods, she has killed too many powerful demons, so that when the final test comes, the demon body that has cultivated for three hundred years cannot withstand it, and those are all sent by the gods to complete the task. On the other hand, the gods also allowed her to enjoy the sacrifices in the temple, and the prayers and beliefs of countless people offset most of the resentment of the last judgment, allowing her to retain her soul.

Amon asked again, "When you came back to your senses, you didn't want to be a tool of Osiris and the Nine Divine Systems, did you resent them?"

Schrödinger shook his head and said, "No, I'm not resentful! I'm just a cat who is lucky enough to turn on my mind, I don't know what fate will be if I don't have the guidance of Isis, it's too difficult to find the right path in those thousands of paths, and it's more likely to end up with those demons who were killed by me." After being introduced into the Nine Links Divine System, I gained great power and became a goddess on the altar, and with three hundred years of time, I am already a lucky enough cat that I should not complain about anything. What I've done is what I'm willing to do, I've taken the consequences, and that's it. ”

Amun: "Do you know why the gods tell you everything, but they don't say the final test?"

Schrödinger: "When I finally understood, I didn't resent Osiris, he never told me of course there was a reason." If I had known a long time ago what the final end of this path would be, I would probably have flinched, and I would not have passed all the previous tests, and I would not have been able to get there. The trial, though terrible, must also be qualified to face, and the coming of the test is a symbol of achievement.

But I am not grateful to Osiris, and if I guess from my own heart, I will not be able to achieve such an achievement, and it will be of no use to him. The gods need powerful and courageous messengers to complete all kinds of difficult tasks, and no god will tell this secret to the person receiving the guidance in advance, but will only make various arrangements and agreements. ”

Amon suddenly thought of something, looked down at Schrödinger and said, "Zenney once reminded me of three things, which seem to be related to that final test, which you told Bell?"

Schrödinger lowered his head and looked at the dirt at his feet: "I reminded Bell, but it may not all be good intentions." I said before, I don't know if it's good or bad for you to know this secret, what will you do?"

Amon smiled: "Don't do it, there is no difference between knowing and not knowing." Actually, I also reminded my disciples that some things are like fate, and you have to face them. ”

A swarm of ants crawled past Schrödinger's feet, and the cat seemed to say to himself, "This is easy to say, and it is also the hope of reaching the end of the earthly achievement, can you really do it?"

Amon sighed softly: "I don't know, since I said so, let's confirm it like this." ”

...... A month later, Amon unfurled Schrödinger's soul seal again, and it was the last time.

Feeling like a reincarnation, Schrödinger became a newborn kitten again, and it finally opened its light blue and pink little eyelids in the fog, looking at this strange and unknown world. At this moment, the kitten is still at a loss, and it can't even struggle to stand firm, and it doesn't understand who it is, but its eyes are exceptionally clear.

As it grows older, it gradually embodies a different kind of magic, it can recognize many things around it, although it has never seen it, it naturally knows what they are and what they are for, which makes it instinctively avoid a lot of damage. The survival rate of kittens in the wild is very low, and at least half of the cubs born that year will freeze to death in the first cold snap of winter, which is a natural law.

The few lucky ones who survive will have to face predation from wild animals, difficulties in finding food, and unpredictable injuries and illnesses. Schrödinger has been making his own nest since he was a toddler, and he has been holding all kinds of things that can keep him warm in search of a safe place to shelter from the rain, and after the first winter, the feeling of déjà vu for many things in the world has become stronger and stronger.

Finally, one day, it followed the stray cat from a secluded street corner to the square in front of the temple of Isis, and suddenly realized that this place it had been to before!

This is what Best has achieved, she can reunite with memories and grow with life, but at first this memory is very trance-like and needs to be awakened bit by bit. The reason is also very simple, the body and mind are one, the soul is limited by the life force, and the head of a kitten boy does not have the ability to think or recall so many complex information, it can only understand what it can understand at that time.

Best is not actually perishing, but is continuing in such a form, and has another chance to come back. But this does not mean that it will be able to resume its previous achievements, the cat is weak, and a big dog may kill it before it has time to cultivate its strength. A feral cat can grow up to two years old, which is already the lucky one of its kind.

Its memories grew clearer as it grew, recovering from the shadow of déjà vu, opening up its mind once again, and if it was lucky enough, it might eventually regain the path to the gods, but without the protection and support of the gods, it would be unimaginably difficult. Shortly after it activated its sane, Osiris reappeared.

One day, while dozing off under the wall outside the temple, the cats around him suddenly woke up and fled, Schrödinger opened his eyes and looked up to see a god in the shadows, and suddenly recognized the comer. Osiris said, "Best, welcome back!"

It was Osiris who awakened its soul in advance, and cast a magic spell that told it all about its previous experiences.

When it was finally able to regain its cultivation, Osiris found it again and asked, "Best, you are not dead, you are just reborn in another way, I have been looking forward to your recovery, your experience allows you to start again, how lucky you are compared to the countless strong people in history who have fallen in the test." As long as you unfold your soul imprint to me, you will still be a member of the Nine Divine Systems. ”

However, Schrödinger replied: "Great Hades, I want to make a new choice, and I don't want to have anything to do with the Nine Divine Systems. ”

Osiris said, "It's not up to you to choose, the guidance of the Nine Divine System makes you a magical cat, and you can't break the oath you made back then." If you give up your mission, you are giving up your own strength and path. ”

At first, Schrödinger didn't quite understand what Osiris meant by these words, but later Schrödinger began to cultivate, and it took many years to break through many tests, but his strength never recovered. But this did not prevent Schrödinger from continuing to cultivate, and the realm it had sealed was unhindered, but it did not use that power, and passed the test of endless life. It became a cat with a imprisoned soul, and it has always been a cat.

Did Osiris imprison its power? All it had forever was a cat's body. This kind of confinement has also been loosened, Schrödinger is a cat with a ninth-level achievement of origin power, and can occasionally gather strength to do something, but the wear and tear on its body is very great.

Later, Bell arrives at the temple of Isis, discovers a cat peeking at the texts in the archives, and Schrödinger tries to find a way to break his soul from imprisonment in various accounts. Bell was surprised to find that the cat could not be detected by detecting divine magic, which was almost a stealth skill possessed by gods, so he stole the cat to learn its secret.

But Schrödinger only gave Bell three reminders. The genius Bell guessed that Schrödinger might be a sealed deity, and once said, "If I can find a way to break your seal, tell me the secret." The sealing magic in the world is nothing more than the transformation of the clever information magic technique, and I am the most brilliant information magic master today. ”

Amon already knew what was going on, and Bell fled to the mountains of the Eudi Valley, where he threw Schrödinger out of the air with that magical bone at the last moment. Schrödinger landed safely, but when the bones were put away, they fell into a pool. Schrödinger took Bell's last message to Duketown to find the old madman, and waited until Amon appeared.

From beginning to end, after a long 400-year experience, Amon returns as a bystander to the town of Duke, where he grew up, and he sees himself as a baby and his mother, who died when he was a child.

In the soul imprint, Amon experienced everything as Schrödinger, but saw himself in this memory, which is an indescribable feeling. He finally moved his thoughts, and together the thoughts could not stay in Schrödinger's soul imprint, and everything was over.

When he opened his eyes, it was not yet dawn, and the cat's eyes in the darkness shone like jewels, Schrödinger looked at him expectantly, but asked in a worried tone, "What's wrong with you, haven't you experienced it completely?"

Amon whispered, "Yes, how did you know, weren't you in a state of ignorance when you unfolded your soul imprint?"

Schrödinger jumped on his lap, arched his head into his arms, and said, "Because your eyes are full of tears." ”

Amon stretched out his hand and hugged Schrödinger to his chest and said, "I'm so sorry, I thought about it! Because I saw my mother, I saw her face completely for the first time, I was too young when she died, thank you so much!"

Schrödinger's voice was a little misty, and he muttered in Amun's chest: "Why do you say sorry? It's me who should say thank you! It's a miracle that you can experience it now, even in the last judgment, you didn't have any thoughts, and you didn't hesitate to endure four hundred years of loneliness, just to help me."

It's normal that you don't make it to the end, because the final imprint is mostly a cold look at your own experience. You have been tested in my soul imprint, but it is not your own test after all, and you do not have that kind of state yet. In the future, when you break through the ninth level achievement on your own, you will not be able to truly confirm it. ”

Amon took Schrödinger in his arms and whispered, "You have something to ask me, why don't you speak?"

Schrödinger dug his head into the crook of his arm: "You know better than I know my four hundred years of experience, have you found the seal that imprisons the soul?"

Amon said slightly apologetically: "There may be a little trace, but it is not very clear." Can you give me a few more days? I'm going to meditate alone behind closed doors, and I won't be able to see anyone, including you, for a while. ”

Schrödinger raised his head and said, "I understand, you have to confirm it in your cultivation, thank you for your hard work, I am waiting for you." ”

The general closed his door and ordered no one to disturb him, and he practiced in silent meditation, experiencing and reminiscing about everything. Half a month has passed since the passage of the Ronnie River, and the unmoving Amon has experienced a hundred years in solitary meditation. He ordered his servants not to be disturbed, but a messenger from the distant kingdom of Hati forced Amon to come out of the ashram and receive him personally.

The arrival of this messenger was arranged by Amon half a year ago, and the imperial general had already thought of a plan to leave Eju.
