Rama tasted what it was to fail like a shadow.

He was perfectly prepared to face so many failures, after all, when the fruits of success are too fruitful, the hardships and dangers along the way always seem so obvious.

But the biggest problem is that He is mentally prepared to accept failure, even countless failures, and His physical and objective time does not allow it.

The Great Mercy Tree King leaned down and poked Rama in the cheek, "It's almost time to give up······· At this time, will it be a little too late for you to give up? ”

He ruffled his sideburns and looked softly, "If you had adhered to the path that Apep had let go, you might have already stepped through this hurdle by now." ”

"You've tried the path I've taken." Rama doesn't think about this assumption, "I didn't think that Ling would also be a secondary two who thought he was the most special one in the world." ”

Chase the special power in your body, believing that it can help you transcend the boundaries between dragons and demon gods, so that you don't have to be a dragon, but you can have the power that only dragons have.

Objectively speaking, this kind of thinking always carries the same middle two, especially on a path that has been walked countless times by predecessors, and stubbornly wants to challenge the hierarchy that has taken root in everyone's mind.

Teyvat's strength rules are like this, above the demon god is the dragon, Rama's idea is to be a god and a dragon, and the early idea of the Great Cishu King is that I don't have to be a dragon, I can use my identity as a demon god to drive the power beyond Apep.

Many failures are always easier to understand than any warning, so Rama only realized later, he felt that the Great Mercy Tree King was special, and the Great Mercy Tree King himself at that time may not have thought so.

Probably one day in history, maybe the sun was just right, and at that time, it was not as good as such a gentle and gentle god who knew about the existence of Gu Long, and promised in his heart that he would not ask for anything from the outside, and he would be able to surpass Gu Long's promise.

And then a defeat in the face of reality.

He may be special, such as having dreams, connecting to the World Tree, and being able to modify Teyvat's timeline······· But the greatest special thing in the world is that it is the most versatile and powerful.

"I don't advise you, it's not that I think my path is fine, it's just me who has a problem." The Great Cishu King was silent for a moment, and then said softly, "The road is not passable, so you will not miss the descendants." ”

And if it doesn't work, there will be latecomers.

I can not succeed, this is my problem, not the problem of the road, I am not successful today, in the future there will always be someone who has the talent to surpass me and walk this road for me.

But this road is not working, it is fake, and I should tell you that you don't have to waste your life on this road.

But you're like me.

I knew at a glance that you wouldn't listen to me, you would just think that I wasn't the one with great talent, so I couldn't make it to the end of the road.

Rama was silent, just looked at the god's guilty eyes, shook his head and sighed.

He didn't feel the need for the Great Tree King to feel guilty.

Every person who chooses the path, if the choice is based on his own will, or even says that he does not agree with it at all, but is pushed on this path by fate, he should bear all the consequences of his choice today.

The person who makes the choice, of course, has to bear the price of the choice.

And those who are not qualified to choose are simply paying for their weakness.

Both of these make sense, and there's no way to complain about anything more.

King Dacishu and Rama are certainly not exactly the same, after all, there was no reason for Apep to let go of his power to him back then.

But just because something is expressed differently doesn't mean that its core ideas are also the opposite.

The Great Tree King once believed in his own specialness and thought that he had a chance to surpass the dragon.

Rama, on the other hand, believed in the peculiarity of the Great Tree King, believing that his peculiarity was more precious than the dragon's intuitive strength.

The Great Mercy Tree King is wrong, and Rama has a chance to be right.

But he only had a chance, and apparently didn't really prove himself right.

"How many more times can you hold out?" Rama asked softly.

His voice was not weary, it was as calm as ever, as if it was someone else who had gone through all kinds of deaths, not himself.

"I can still hold on, but it's hard for you to say." The Great Mercy Tree King replied, "It's not that dreams don't consume. ”

In order to mobilize the power of dreams, the Akademiya tried 168 dream reincarnations, and one of the most direct victims was Dinazed.

The other Sumeru people were just tired, and the sick eldest lady was really almost cold, or Nahida personally took her life.

The life and death of the eldest lady has become the most direct line of death, forcing Sora to solve this problem immediately.

Dream reincarnation was not without consumption, and Rama's attempt was even more devastating to his own spirit.

"I don't feel that way." Rama frowned slightly, "You know my body better than I do?" ”

He really didn't feel weary.

"It's not too late for you to stand up and talk to me about this." The Great Mercy Tree King glanced at Rama and said.

Rama, of course, was not convinced, and immediately planned to prove it to the Great Tree King.

Immediately, it was dark, and after the world turned upside down, Rama lay on the ground.

King Dacishu poked Rama's cheek, "How is it, have you taken it?" ”

"Say something useful." Rama lay on the ground, his head too lazy to turn, "For example, you had already guessed that I would crash to my head on the south wall, and then prepare a way out for me?" ”

"Do you think there will be a way back for this choice?" The Great Mercy Tree King asked rhetorically.

He pulled up the corners of His skirt and sat down beside Rama.

"Stay away from me." Rama's words were calm, "You're about to sit on top of me. ”

"Shy?" The Great Mercy Tree King chuckled and turned sideways and continued to move closer.

"I think when you're dying like this, you can still tease me like this, you should be a little bit of a backhand." Rama didn't even bother to give any expression, "But reality tells me that it's not that you can be prepared because you see a certain possibility in advance." ”

I could certainly guess what was going to happen, but I really didn't have much to prepare for.

Preparation is to solve a specific problem, and this problem is beyond my ceiling, and I can't cope with anything in preparation.

"I'd be thankful you for trusting me so much earlier, but trusting this kind of thing, there's no point in being late." The Great Mercy Tree King said softly.

"That means I'm done." Rama was undaunted, "It's not really going to be a complete end, maybe the dragons outside the door also expected me not to pass their test." ”

Failure can only mean that the road is impassable, there is no convenient road for Rama to take, and it cannot be said that he will definitely die.

The only trouble may be Apep.

After all, Rama controlled some of his power, and he had to have some heart for Rama.

But to say that Rama had to die, that would not be enough.

"Don't take this path, rely on your normal growth, the world doesn't have so much time for you." The Great Mercy Tree King helped Rama up and reached out to rub Rama's cheek, "As you have always said, he grows up fast, not because of the destiny of God, but because he is a powerful life form himself. ”

This he, of course, is empty.

Sora's growth on the map is fast enough to drive anyone who has even looked at his stats crazy, and his growth is completely unreasonable in terms of stats.

On the other hand, the speed at which the air becomes stronger is very reasonable.

Because he is so strong in his own right, even speaking, his strength in the current fifth country is far less than his own strength.

Even if the elemental power is strengthened once in every country, Sora itself is a special life that can travel through the world, and his speed of becoming stronger does not have any reference in itself.

And the world needs such a monster that cannot be specifically defined and quantified to serve as the savior of the world.

You can never predict his ceiling, because he can raise his combat power to a higher level at any time because of his rage, and you need such a person to save the world, after all, there is also danger that cannot be predicted.

Two equally unpredictable factors collide together, and that's what makes sense to perform, otherwise it becomes a one-sided push victory.

That's really a problem.

Obviously, Rama is not empty, he does not have the unreasonable but very reasonable growth of emptiness, the same problem, although the time left for two people is the same, but empty can travel to seven countries to find a truth, Rama can't wait to hide in the laboratory, every moment someone sends him enough experimental equipment and experimental data for him to carry out the next research.

But Rama did not show any reluctance or struggle, and his words were as usual: "Then it can only be like this." ”

"I only have the opportunity to do this, and I've given it all my might."

"The wrong path I chose led to the trouble I am in now, but this path is really what I chose, and it was the best solution that I could choose by comparing all the possibilities I could think of at the time, so I should indeed be responsible for my own choice."

It was a mistake to look back at this path.

Maybe Rama hasn't tried his best, maybe Rama hasn't been lucky enough, this path can be followed, but Rama hasn't done it yet······· But as far as the results are concerned, all experiments that fail to meet the expected goals are essentially failures, and the road itself is only the difference between going through and not going through, but for those who choose the road, there are two most direct criteria: failure and success.

Rama failed.

Regardless of the process, his goal is to obtain the power of the Elemental Dragon rank by all means.

If it is really not advisable to ascend to the sky in one step, you should also gain the potential equal to that of the elemental dragon, and you only need to accumulate strength to be able to naturally take a step closer.

And if He doesn't achieve this goal, then the path is wrong for Him.

This is the most basic requirement of all His experiments, and all additional goals should be based on the fact that the basic requirements have been met.

Admitting defeat was far simpler than Rama expected.

He couldn't help but wonder why he had so easily admitted his defeat, after all, it was clear that this defeat meant a lot to Rama, and it might be his last chance to gamble in the face of fate.

When he succeeds, he will be able to go to the table and sit on the opposite side of his destiny and fight against him.

If he fails, he can only sit in the audience and wait for fate to pronounce his judgment, just as the judge pronounces the final verdict of a criminal.

And He was defeated.

He should have wept bitterly and begged for another chance, but Rama did not have such emotions.

Of course, he didn't do it for the sake of face, and it really didn't make sense.

If he wept bitterly, what useful help could be exchanged for tattered clothes, Rama did not know why he should refuse.

He simply felt that defeat seemed to be something that he could get used to, so much so that even if some crucial game failed, He could still tell himself with a blank face that it was just a failure.

In fact, you can't use "just", it's important, and you can't fail.

But you've already lost, so what else can you do?

Rama regained some strength, then sat up on the ground.

King Dacishu and Rama sat with their backs to each other, supporting Rama, who had not yet fully recovered.

"Say something?" Rama reminded, "You have worked so hard to arrange it, and you find that what you have placed your expectations on is also a waste of wood, so there is nothing to say?" ”

"Like, it's really good, it turns out that you're also a piece of waste?" The Great Mercy Tree King whispered, "I kind of want to say this. ”

He didn't have anything to do.

Dream reincarnation gave Rama many chances, and after he was killed on a road, he didn't look back, but in the rest of the options, he didn't go out on the right path.

It was all that He and Rama could do.

Now, there must be a better choice, such as directly abandoning the authority of the Tree King from the beginning, and devoting all body and mind to the study and attempt of the power of Apep.

But that doesn't make sense.

Looking back, you can basically come up with better choices, just like a childhood late arrival will make people feel that the sky is falling, as if something happened that should never have happened, in fact, it is just an accident, it will not stain your life, and it will not really make you lose anything completely.

It's really impossible to say that I've tried my best, so I don't care if I fail······ It's nonsense, the more things you put in, the more unhappy you will naturally be when you can't get what you want.

Failure is something that you don't care about because you try your best, and the so-called good effort is just a comfort.

It's not even to comfort yourself, but only to comfort some friends who care about you.

He failed, Rama failed, and the two of them failed on the same path.

So Rama was wrong, he didn't have high hopes for a piece of waste, after all, he also felt that he was the One who could change the destiny of heaven.

As a result, both of them were waste.
