Chapter 9: The Protagonist Who Dies

Because wood is lighter than water, it can float on water; Because man is heavier than water, he sinks - this is the view of primitive man.

But through observation, Lyle discovers the secret of buoyancy...... Of course, he could not sort out the saying that the buoyancy of an object is equal to the gravitational force of the liquid that is discharged when the object sinks, and in this era there are no numerical calculations or precise measuring tools, but he only obtains approximate phenomena.

Guided by the right philosophy, Lyle cut down a large tree that had grown for an unknown number of years, and spent a huge amount of labor to cut out a one-piece wooden ship with a cabin structure. Various treatments were made to the hull, the cabin was filled with food, and the water was successfully launched without sinking or turning over, and it drove downstream along the waterway.

Most of the time, I go with the flow, but in order to avoid hitting obstacles, sometimes I have to fight hard to paddle; When he came across a suitable location, he would consider going ashore to explore, but Lyle was not physically strong enough to go far in the dangerous primitive world, and would soon run back to the ship; Rest in the cabin at night, the cabin structure was originally designed for this purpose.

The navigation of the waterway is smooth, not only are there no rapids or waterfalls, but the river is getting wider and smoother. However, survival in the wild was not smooth, and despite various attempts to replenish food by means such as bows and arrows, setting traps, eating wild fruits, and digging yams, the food reserves in the cabin were constantly decreasing.

Not only that, but in order to get this food from the primeval forest, Lyle was more or less injured, and from the current point of view, it would not be 'hunger' that killed Lyle, but the 'complications' caused by these injuries.

It's just that no matter how he died, in fact, it wasn't much worse, Lyle was already mentally prepared, and even the most humiliating capsized and drowned was in his pessimistic prediction, and the so-called optimistic prediction could only go far enough-

"What the hell is this boundless lake!?"

"What's going on with these lakes? Salty and bitter!? ”

"What kind of monster is that? Never seen a creature like this in the village!? ”

Lyle ran frantically on the beach on the side of the sea, until he found that his boat had almost been washed away, and he was brought back to his senses by his survival instinct and rescued the boat, which still had a little food in the cabin.

However, the boat never sailed again.

Lyle knew he couldn't cross this 'lake' with no end in sight, and might try to sail along the shore for days, but it didn't seem to him to be pointless.

"Damn...... Damn it...... The outside world turned out to be like this, why didn't I come out sooner! Lyle sat on the beach, holding a clay pot and nibbling on the remnants of food with the thought of a full meal on his deathbed, and wept as the sun set into the sea.

Lyle knew very well that even if he invented the 'boat' when he was young, even if he took over the position of leader, no one would accompany him to this place with the consciousness of death, and if he was alone, his young and strong self was not much better than his old self, and it would be a matter of dying to death, which was equivalent to ending his life early without meaning.

However, seeing this scene in the twilight of his life, Lyle still felt great remorse, as if there really was that kind of unrealistically perfect development.

There is no way, this is the regret of the elderly after all, the decisions made when they were young, whether they were right at the time or still seem to be right, will always change their posture and regret it when they are old, and Lyle is no exception.

It's just that in addition to remorse, there are other ingredients mixed in.

"It's beautiful......! The outside world, your beauty is beyond my imagination! It is my glory to die here! Lyle threw aside the clay pot that had been eaten cleanly, stood up, wiped away his tears, and shouted with his hands raised.

Yes, on the shore of the boundless ocean is Lyle's graveyard, and the coffin box is the boat.

The cause of death was diarrhea caused by eating mollusks found on the beach, which made the already poor physical condition deteriorate sharply until he stopped breathing.

However, Lyle does not regret his choice to leave the village and end his life early.

Without compassion, death in the present means a new birth in the future.

There are no selfish desires, and all beings are equal in front of them.

There is no burnout, and its purpose is to fulfill this duty.

As if it had been an incalculable long past, the Reincarnation God protected the souls of the deceased in the world she cared for to reach her through the 'Mirror of Reincarnation', and then evaluated the souls and determined their fate like a machine that analyzed and processed them at an astonishing speed.

However, there was an unexpected day on this day.

No, considering that the key participant in this accident is the true god of the infinite dimensional world, this accident should be called a "miracle".

γ€β€¦β€¦οΌŸ For the first time since birth, the reincarnation god hesitated for a second, and the flow of countless souls paused.

In a certain level 1 primordial world, there was a wise man who dragged the entire era forward a lot.

According to the original standard, a person who has completed an outstanding life in a level 1 world should find a family to match them in a level 2 world. But if the family with the highest configuration in the level 1 world is not worthy of his achievements in this life, then what?

In addition, even if this wise man has been engaged in the work of exploring nature all his life, and his style of changing the world with the power of God has nothing to do with his experience, because he was praised as a "god of wisdom" by later generations after his death, he has actually met the threshold of the mythical world and can be born as a god, but where did the second-level mythical world come from?

Because this was an unprecedented case, the reincarnation god's previous handling methods could not be applied, and she miraculously hesitated for a second.

[............] But after this second, she had made arrangements for the flow of the souls of the deceased to return to normal.

The wise man still travels to the Tier 2 world, but the Reincarnation God has left a weak divine power on him, which will always accompany him as a 'blessing from the true god', regardless of his performance and number of reincarnations after rebirth.

However, because the magnitude of this divine power is 'weak', at most it only has the effect of 'good health', 'handsome appearance', and 'unforgettable', and it is the soul itself that really determines how life goes.

【............】Seeing this soul wrapped in its own power enter the second level of the 'Mirror of Reincarnation', the reincarnation god recorded the way he handled this time in the 'rules', and continued to carry out his vocation without sorrow or joy.

The miracle did not bring out the reincarnated God's ego.
