Chapter 533: The Apologies and Atonement of the Substitutes
Not getting all the key information from York and Nien, Chelus pouted in dissatisfaction. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Does she have the potential to defeat Tafel the Wanderer, who was once a super-genius but is now a headache for all the Substitutes?
However, Cheruth could also see that York and Nien really wouldn't say anything more on this issue, and shrugged, and Cheruth asked one last question.
"Speaking of which, since there are the two of you and the 'guardian' named Mira who has left this world, why did there be such a big mess thousands of years ago?"
"Thousands of years ago? Oh, you mean the battle between gods and demons?"
"Yes, although in the end, it was the three of you who came forward to help the gods defeat Chaos and sealed the remaining Xenomorph Law on the Nolan clan, if you could have stopped or warned the gods when they unconsciously abused the power of Xenomorph Law to create Chaos, wouldn't there have been these things that happened later?"
In fact, Cheruth hesitated a little before asking this, after all, there is also an element of questioning the three substitutes in the past, but in the end, Cheruth still couldn't hold back, although she is not the real Nolan clan, but after this incident to understand the past and present life of the Nolan clan and the thousand years of time that the Great Elder Wissinger guarded the Nolan clan before the fall, Cheruth did have some complaints in her heart about the inaction of several surrogate practitioners at the beginning and the practice of having to let the Nolan clan make such a sacrifice in the endγ
However, Nien and York didn't seem to hear Cheruth's displeasure, or they did, but they didn't pay much attention to it, and both of them had a wry smile on their faces that Cheruth didn't expect.
"Well, indeed, if we had been the agents of this world from the beginning, and had stepped in to stop the gods from abusing the power of the law in the first place, then the disaster that followed would not have happened. β
York said, sighing.
Cheruth looked at them with some surprise.
"Huh, you mean you weren't agents at that time?"
"That's right," Nien nodded and shook her head, "The correct way to say it is that at that time, there was no such thing as a substitute in this world, and we were all still living in our respective worlds, just like you before you crossed over, never thought that you would come to another completely different world or even become a god-like existence in this world."
"Don't you think it's strange, since the Surrogate is an unpredictable and unstable factor in the fate line of the Law like the Demon and the Spoiler, then why does the Law of Origin still allow us to exist? You must know that the formation of this world is entirely the credit of the original law system born from the primordial chaos, even if there is no us, relying on the original law system and the will of the world alone can build and improve this world and maintain its normal operation, and the existence of the substitute actually makes this world impossible to be as stable as when it was first formed, because no matter how much we are limited by the original law system, no matter how much we take it as our responsibility to act on behalf of the will of the world, we still have an independent personality and will after all, which is the same as the fact that manual work cannot be compared with machine operation in terms of standardization of specificationsWe can never be as completely just as the true will of the world at the level of law.
"However, we ended up as surrogates, and the world acquiesced to our existence, and the reason for this is actually very simple," Nien said, spreading her hands. The self-regulation of the will of the world and the independent operation of the system of the Origin Law alone can indeed achieve absolute justice at the level of the law, but because of this, the will of the world and the Origin Law also have to permanently maintain absolute objectivity to everything that happens in this world, so even if the gods abused the Xenomorph Law to kill themselves, the World Will and the Origin Law are completely powerless against this, because they simply do not have the ability to directly talk to these creatures or give them some kind of influence.
"As a result, you also know that chaos breeds and hoards in the world in large quantities, and the degree of crisis exceeds the self-regulating ability of the world's will and the Origin Law, so the World Will has no choice but to take the final measure and put the World Will Spokesperson with the authority of the Origin Law to this world, that is, the three of us who perform their respective duties, we may not be as just as the real World Will, but we can do what the World Will cannot do to intuitively intervene in some processes in the world, although the authority of this intervention can only be opened to us when the Origin Law system cannot operate normallyBut if the system of the Origin Law is working normally, it really doesn't need us to do much - to put it more intuitively, the agent can be regarded as the firefighter of this world or the existence of the ultimate insurance, but if I want to say that it is actually more like a nanny who specializes in taking over the mess of the world's will to play with and wiping people's butts, and if it is done well, it is true that it has not been praised for making mistakes, and it is really - "
"Ahem, Nien......"
York couldn't look at it, and coughed lightly twice to interrupt the silver-haired girl's grumbling full of negative energy, but it was too late, and while Cheruth, who was standing on the side, had already begun to think about whether she was really going to take over the job of "guardian".
Reminded by York, Nien finally realized that she seemed to have said something very bad on a whim, her face flushed slightly, and Nien coughed a few times and opened her mouth casually.
"Uh-huh...... In short, the agent is such a very promising job. β
...... Why don't you talk about it...... Irony......
"Well, to get back to business, that's the way it is, by the time we were chosen from our respective worlds to cross into this world, and passed the test of the world's will to become substitutes, the world at that time had actually reached the end of the road, and the United Army of the Gods was about to be completely wiped out by Chaos. Although the three of us who had just become agents at that time were not at all ignorant of the power we wielded, we couldn't delay, so we immediately appeared in front of the desperate gods, and you know what happened next. β
With that, Nien's mood began to become a little low.
"In fact, to tell the truth, although the sacrifice of the gods was inevitable in that situation, at least those divine servants, that is, the Nolan clan, did not have to make such a big sacrifice. If it were me and Uncle York now, we would actually have a way to make the Nolan family become the carrier of the seal without paying such a big price...... But at that time, we had just come to this world that had been shattered by the invasion of chaos, and we didn't have time to familiarize ourselves with the law permissions we had, so we were driven away and took on the corresponding tasks as if we were ducks on the shelves, and as a result, at that time, because we did not know enough about the authority and ability of the agent, coupled with the excessive caution and nervousness as a novice, we finally left a lot of completely unnecessary law restrictions on the Nolan family, and it was these unnecessary law restrictions that finally made the Nolan family live so painfully for thousands of yearsγ β
At this point, Nien's eye circles began to turn red again, and she faintly saw tears welling up in her eyes.
"Later, when we gradually understood the authority and ability of the agent, and knew that we had made so many mistakes, we also tried to make up for the mistakes of the year, but since the Origin Law System has never had such a large-scale law collapse event since the War of Gods and Demons, we have never had such a powerful law authority, even if we want to alleviate some pain for the Nolan clan, we can't do it...... If we had been stronger, if we hadn't been so ignorantly insisting that we had to do it, then Wessinger, and Cheruth, your parents, and all the people of the Nolans, wouldn't have suffered like that......"
Nien lowered her head and didn't continue, and Chelus looked at such a silver-haired girl, and didn't know what to say.
Although it is excusable, it is also an indelible fact that because of Nien's misjudgment back then, the Nolan family has suffered unimaginable pain for thousands of years. Cheruth is not a "red seedling" Nolan who has not experienced thousands of years of suffering, she feels that she is not qualified to talk about the rights and wrongs of this matter, or forgiveness or other things, and after thinking about it, she has to speak a little jerky.
β...... Well, the situation at that time can't be completely counted as your fault...... Besides, didn't you apologize to the Great Elder? β
Nien bit her lip and looked up, as if grateful to Chelus for saying such a thing, and York gently patted the top of the silver-haired girl's hair and took the conversation.
"Thank you for saying that, Cerus, but Nien didn't mean anything else...... Nien and I, and Mira who has returned to our own world, we don't expect the people who were hurt by our recklessness and ignorance to forgive us completely, but at least, we will always have this apology, and the world that the Nolans have guarded, no matter when, we will continue to protect them. β
Chelus looked at York and Nien and laughed.
"Well, I'm the same. β
Although she didn't cry this time, Nien still raised her hand and wiped the area around her eyes with her cuffs, and then she regained her original vitality.
"Hmph, that won't be until you pass the test of the world's will and become a 'guardian'. β
York and Nien have been dealing with each other for thousands of years, and they know better than anyone that this guy's emotions come and go quickly, and seeing Nien's mouth harden again, York chuckled and looked at Cheruth.
"Alright, Cheruth, if you don't have anything else to ask, then leave with the red dragon who is with you and the knights of the Cult of Thoran outside the city, the law system here has collapsed badly after this incident, and we need time to restore order here completely. But fortunately, thanks to the efforts of you and the Nolan clan this time, the Chaos Monster, which is the source of Chaos Pollution, has never left here, and when you fought before, Nien and I have been secretly stabilizing the power of order around the city, so the Chaos Pollution has not spread outside of Solan Holy City, which can be regarded as good news among the bad news. β
"Will it take a long time to restore order here?"
"Yes, this time the chaos pollution that erupted in Solan Holy City is much more serious than the last time in the desert, and the rough origin law framework can be reforged in just a few days, but the small but non-negligible distortions and confusion remaining within the picketing law system are not a small project, and even some rules are related to all aspects, even Nien and I can't easily correct them, so we can only wait for them to recover on their own, so in a few years, it is estimated that this place will no longer be a very friendly place for order creaturesγ But don't worry, just like the last time you and Nien met in the desert, the minds of those who left with you will automatically appear in the minds of those who have left with me, and the false memories and cognitions that I have forged with the power of the Law of Origin will be in charge of spreading the news that will not be accessible here for a few years. β
At this point, York suddenly thought of something, and immediately raised his index finger.
"By the way, I almost forgot to remind you about the incident of the last desert temple, I believe you should also know by now that the so-called 'godhead' on the continent is actually the xenomorph law that made the ancient gods advance to become god-level powerhouses, although at the end of the gods, most of the xenomorph laws on the continent were gathered together and sealed on the body of the Nolan clan, but there are still fish that slip through the net. A small number of god-level powerhouses who fell because of the battle between the gods and demons long before the war between gods and demons began, the godheads left behind are still sealed in all corners of the continent like the godhead in the desert temple, although theoretically speaking, even if the seventh-order powerhouses fuse the law of xenosity without reaching the eighth-order strength, they will only kill themselves, but because of the existence of Tafel, so I think it is better for you to be more careful. β
The corners of Cheruth's mouth twitched.
β...... No, this is not something that can be solved with more care, if Tafel really becomes a god-level powerhouse, even if he doesn't use the power of chaos, no one on the current continent can beat him. β
"Anla~ Didn't I say that if you don't reach the eighth order, you can't become a god-level powerhouse," York waved his hand," Since the end of the gods, there have been fewer and fewer eighth-order on the continent, which is actually because we have secretly moved on the law of the comprehension of the law by mortal creatures, which has increased the difficulty of the seventh-order promotion to the eighth-order, and although Tafel is already the peak of the seventh-order, under the influence of metamorphosis, his comprehension ability of the pure order power like the law will only get worse and worse, so you don't have to worry that he will become a god-level powerhouse before it is completely transformed. β
Cheruth nodded, finally relieved. She looked around again, the Holy City, which had been completely stilled by the law authority of the two Substitutes, and her eyes swept over her parents, Xingxi, Grand Elder Wissinger, and the places where the Nolans had disappeared in the sky.
β...... By the way, after the souls of the Nolan people have completely dissipated, what are you going to do with the souls sealed on the Nolan people?" )
