The world is still that endless void, and there is ~ majesty in that void, so that Arthur cherishes his own insignificance. Quincy or Arthur, it's time to discern. Who is the master of whom?

"Why put on a majestic face, no one wants to snatch anything from you!" Quincy's voice was as loud as a thunderous tsunami.

"It's your arrangement, isn't it? Self-exile, self-amnesia, for me it's just a temporary replacement for you, isn't it? Now it's up to you to get everything back, not me. Arthur, the half-elf, stood behind the void and looked up fearlessly.

"In that case, why did you show up, and touch this tree, why didn't you run away?" asked Quincy with interest.

"I'm so tired of running away, and if I can't get out of your shadow, there is no light in any corner of the world for me. Arthur's voice was still as calm as water, but with a determination as ice.

"So with all the courage and even a little bit of luck, you're here!" Quincy smiled.

"Yes, I'm coming, devour me, or I'm going to devour you. Arthur frowned.

"Hahahaha!" The laughter stirred up countless tornadoes in the void.

"Are you laughing at my incompetence?"

"I never give up an opportunity to laugh at myself, it sobers me up, but right now, I'm not laughing. Maybe it's the difference in location that makes you a little mistaken. ”

"What's it!"

"It's not a war. But at the same time. This war starts from the moment you are born. And is born all the time.

Darkness or light, right or wrong, id or superego? We are arguing with ourselves all the time. Compromise with yourself. We can't help but argue. You can't find that true self without arguing. Nor can we be uncompromising. If you don't compromise, you won't go far.

The reason why I gave up my memories was because I couldn't pack too much during this difficult journey. Only by abandoning the previous position can we have a clearer understanding of where we are now.

Now is the time. We need each other. But also mutually exclusive. It's not a war between me and you. It's me and me. You are at war with your land. Can't hold on to their own people and lose everything. It's not about power. Regardless of location. ”

Before Arthur could savor these words. Quincy had turned into a whirlwind and rushed towards Arthur.

That moment was like the beginning of the Big Bang. Two memories, two thoughts collide together. There was a bang, but there was no tug-of-war as expected. Only in those new memories, constantly asking oneself, is that what I am, is that what I want to be? constant arguments and compromises, constant thinking and changing, in front of the other self, no one can hold on to the present self, whether it is Quincy or Arthur. From the very beginning, there is no such thing as victory or defeat in this war, and there will be a loss of self and a new self.

Quincy remembered, remembered when he was a child on Earth, picked up a roll and showed it off in front of children, remembered the old locust tree in front of the door, remembered the girl who made his heart flutter for the first time...... Who's to say that defeating a few stupid demons is more important than these?

Arthur remembered the earth that had sunk in the Great War of Gods and Demons, and he and his companions challenged the gods and demons with the determination to change all this. But those great wills born with this world, whether they represent faith or thought, light or darkness, are so invincible. Power is meaningless in front of them, and the characters depicted in the book cannot fight against the book itself, and it is no longer the so-called power that can be changed.

But just because power can't change doesn't mean that something else can't change. The gods were moved by the courage and perseverance of his friends, and he descended into the endless abyss with the World Stone. Holding up the World Stone in his hand, he said to the devils, "Listen to me, or I will destroy everything." ”

The devils said, "Drop it, that thing, aren't you going to save the world, don't do anything contrary to your own will, or your life will be full of contradictions and struggles." ”

"Contradictions and struggles are in our nature, and curiosity cannot be removed from my consciousness, and I am not here to save the world, but to dream of reality, my dreams, the dreams of my friends, and your dreams. ”

How can you understand what we are thinking when you are so short and small? For example, although my words may sound like ridicule or contempt, how do you know that we do not have such emotions, but only state the facts that we can understand. ”

"As long as there is the possibility of being understood, otherwise your dreams are a paradox. I understand that you hate the gods for binding the world with their faith, you want the star of thought to hang forever, you want us to understand the true self, don't you? These are all things that one of you told me, I would say, I can understand, even agree. But if the war continues, your ideals will never be realized. ”

"Could it be that you have a way to defeat the gods, just by relying on the World Stone in your hand? Those old stubborns would never compromise if the world was destroyed!"

"No one can defeat the gods, just as no one can defeat you. I just want to give each other an acceptable solution!"

"It's getting more and more interesting, so tell me what you think! Knowledge is broad and narrow, strength is strong and weak, wisdom is wise and ignorant. We think that in these respects, the gods are also in possession. ”

Adults feel that I can't do it, but in the world of imagination, my advice to you is to create the world. Use this World Stone in my hands to create an ideal world in your hearts, in which you will be free from the interference of the gods, and you will be able to do whatever you want. ”

When I say this, the endless abyss seems to freeze. The lords were silent, as if secretly discussing the feasibility of the matter.

"The cost of creation is too great for us. Why don't you join us, and we are willing to share our power with you and invite you into the temple of immortality. Our wit, combined with your imagination, can turn the tide of battle. ”

"No, I can't?"

"Why? It's just the burden of the body, and the feelings are just the shackles of the mind. Is it that the life of a mortal is so nostalgic to you, and even your wisdom cannot leave these burdens behind? ”

"I can't forget the fragrance on Ishi's lips, the wine that Riccosi, the bagpipes my grandfather played, and the laughing Tucker haughtily. You can't understand this, you see the past, you see the future, but you can't see the present. Gods and demons want to change us, but we are destined to be stubborn in some ways. ”

The devils were silent and pondered, and finally one of the voices said, "You can't draw conclusions without verification, and since you are determined to do so, then we accept your advice." We decided to build such a world in the abyss model. The Worldstone is the foundation, but we still lack an Abyssal Heart, only your Nature Heart can serve it, and we don't want you to lean over the gods. "With the wisdom of the devils, it simply takes too much time to think.

I bowed down and said, "This is willing to serve, and it is not too small to have one world as my prison." ”

"Since this is your idea, then we will take your opinion into account, what will the world be like in your mind?"

"This is your experiment, it's up to you to decide, I'm just a spectator. ”

The first devil said, "First of all, only human beings are the spirits of all things, and I don't want the world to fall into complicated racial wars again." Humans are more diverse and malleable, and I am satisfied with their fecundity. ”

"Rest assured, Great Monarch, that humanity will distinguish the races of the New Lands by region, language, height, and even skin color. The war never stops. ”

The second devil said, "There will certainly be no more gods, and excessive faith is not conducive to independent thinking." Of course, there will be no devils, otherwise only new gods will be created. We will come as men and depart as men. We are wise prophets, but we should not be placed in the temple. ”

"Please rest assured that human beings will use their own fantasies to create gods and demons that do not exist. Your avatars have either been transformed by humans and placed in temples, or they have been banished as aliens. ”

The third devil said, "Of course, there should be no magical powers, no magic, no magic. In that way, human beings can rely on their own strength, rely on the existing rules, to create history, change nature, and no longer need to worship heroes like you. ”

"When the old power disappears, a new power will appear. And this power, like the new heroes, will be superstitious and worshipped. ”

The fourth devil said, "Everything has to start from scratch, and we can convince humans that their existence is the result of a change in the monkeys through some process that can be mastered, and that their death will not end." So that they don't have to fear before they die, and they don't have to fear after death. Then their existence is only existence itself. There is no need to take any unnecessary responsibility. “

"Someone will steal the name of the creator, and someone will fantasize about the world after death. Human existence will never be merely existent, that means the name of the past and the future destination. ”

The fifth devil said, "They will not be confined to a small plane, and I will give them an infinite universe, even if it is only a deception of nothingness." Also give them a mystery to solve, so that their curiosity will not stop. It also makes them understand their own transience and insignificance."

"Really great idea so they don't feel like they're stuck in a little box. Although as they grow older, they will gradually lose their curiosity and gradually shut themselves in their own lives. Far away is the biggest scam for most people. And the box is the pride of the snail."

"I'm going to set the end of this trial, and this trial can't go on indefinitely. ”

"Wise, but I believe that if there were only humans left in this world, then the deadline would probably be up to them. ”

"I will oversee the experiments, and I will collect as many souls as possible for you to put into this world, but most people will probably have to live without souls. ”

......

Later, all immortal consciousnesses, whether gods or demons, signed immortal contracts, forming the power of the realm.

The gods finally got their wish and got the continent and several new gods. Their long reign began, and the devils withdrew from de Grasse for a long time.

As Quincy was heading out into the New World, one of the lords asked, "You only prophesied for us, so what about God?"

Quincy looked back and smiled, "The gods are not destined to get the faith they want. ”

And so it all began.
