Chapter 700: Hope for Eternity (Finale)
Under the command to commit suicide, Yuan Chenfei began to feel that he was collapsing.
It was an incomprehensible sense of collapse, as if every cell of his body, every atomic-level, even finer elementary particle was being annihilated.
But his body is still fine, there is no damage, only the cognitive level of his body.
It's as if every cell has a soul, and those souls are annihilating, making the body a walking corpse.
Is this what it feels like to die of thought?
It is tightly bound to one's own cognition, and when the power of thought and touch dies, it is the death of the soul?
But he didn't die like Babos, but he was still standing, just suffering the pain of dying out of it.
This pain was intense, eternal, and irresistible, but Yuan Chenfei couldn't even shout. Because he has completely lost all his perceptual powers, he can't make a sound, he can't sense the outside world, he can't even struggle.
So no matter what kind of turbulent waves are inside, Yuan Chenfei's surface is always calm.
The Four Divine Lords were able to see his problem: "Although you have not transformed the divine body, and the mind has not bound you, it still affects you, and when you give it up, you will inevitably suffer the most intensely." It's like quitting a drug addiction, but it's 10,000 times stronger than that. β
The real suffering can kill a person directly.
But Yuan Chenfei will not die, no matter how much the pain rises, he can only feel it silently.
He wanted to laugh, but he couldn't, he wanted to speak, but he couldn't say anything, he could only immerse himself in this sea of pain.
Eventually, the pain subsided.
Yuan Chenfei opened his eyes.
He saw that he was still standing there, motionless.
He said, "How long has it been?"
The goddess of life replied, "One minute." β
"It's only been a minute...... It feels like 10,000 years have passed. Yuan Chenfei sighed.
"And now?" asked the dark god.
Yuan Chenfei narrowed his eyes: "Strange." β
"Strange?" the Four Divine Lords were puzzled.
"Yes, strange. Yuan Chenfei replied: "I thought that when I gave up all this, I would be beaten back to my original form and become an ordinary person." But now, I feel freedom...... Pure, absolute freedom. β
He said and looked at the Four Divine Lords: "It was an incomprehensible feeling, as if the shackles on the body had been broken......
He smiled as he spoke: "It's like a person who is no longer bound by the law, who is above the law. And to me, it's as if everything in this universe can no longer constrain me. β
Hearing this, the four god lords were shocked at the same time.
Everything in the universe can no longer be constrained?
"Yes!" Yuan Chenfei nodded affirmatively: "I'm starting to understand." The particles of thought touch are found in every corner of the universe, giving us power and constraints. When we have it, we don't feel like we're in its bondage, but it's only when we get rid of it that we can truly let go of ourselves. That's really, absolutely, liberty......"
As he spoke, Yuan Chenfei had already flown up.
Not with divine power, not with thought touch, just flying.
Because he is no longer bound by all the laws or physical limitations in this universe, which cannot bother him, for him the truth of the universe is like shackles, and now he is free from these shackles and beyond all things.
True detachment!
Then he walked in.
Walking into his light curtain, the next moment he had appeared directly at the door of the Temple of the Apocalypse.
"And he did. The four god lords muttered at the same time.
Sure enough, only by getting rid of the restrictions of thought can you enter the Temple of Apocalypse.
But when did the God of the Apocalypse do this?
They didn't know, so they could only watch Yuan Chenfei step into the hall.
ββββββββββββββββ
Entering the temple, Yuan Chenfei saw that the place he was in turned out to be a world like a bubble.
Colorful bubbles filled his vision.
He looked at one of the bubbles, and felt that there was no limit to the mystery inside.
It's a universe.
Plane bubbles?
Yuan Chenfei looked back and saw that he had come out of one of the bubbles.
Is that really the case?
On a higher dimensional scale, all the planes of the universe are just bubbles, arranged in a special way.
And this Temple of the Apocalypse is an existence beyond the plane?
He walked between those plane bubbles, and saw countless plane bubbles, all kinds of life, crying, struggling, and struggling.
And in the distance of the sea of bubbles, a lonely throne floats.
On the throne sat a pillar god, his head slightly bowed, as if he had not noticed Yuan Chenfei's arrival.
Yuan Chen flew over and came to the throne.
"God of the Apocalypse?"
But the other party did not respond.
Yuan Chenfei was a little strange, he approached again and came to the Apocalypse Divine Seat.
Then he saw that the pillar god was dead.
He's dead?
Wrong!
Yuan Chenfei could feel that the other party still had a huge vitality, but for some reason, his consciousness had completely disappeared, and only the huge divine body as vast as the sea remained.
It's like a body, lost soul.
Is it to go to the fugue? Impossible, with the power of the gods, even the fugue will still retain consciousness.
The pillar god in front of him really looks dead.
Although the body still exists, the consciousness is dead!
Why is this happening?
Yuan Chenfei couldn't understand.
He was amazed, and the bubbles floated.
Countless plane bubbles combined to form a human form, but it looked somewhat like the god of the apocalypse.
The being, made up of plane bubbles, uttered a deep voice, "You, finally here." β
"God of the Apocalypse?" Yuan Chenfei asked in surprise.
The face bubble constructor shook his head slightly: "I'm not him, as you can see, he's dead." β
"But why is this happening?" Yuan Chenfei couldn't understand.
In his known concept, shouldn't the God of Apocalypse be the big boss behind the scenes? Isn't it him who caused all this, but why did he finally enter here, only to find that the other party was dead?
Inevitably, the bubble maker replied, "He waited too long, he didn't wait for the liberated one to come, and he couldn't bear the degradation, so he had to die." β
"Then who are you?" asked Yuan Chenfei.
"Meβdon't you recognize it yet?" said the bubble maker's voice changed slightly.
A familiar tone sounded.
Yuan Chenfei couldn't believe what he heard, and blurted out, "Mistra, how is this possible?"
The bubble in front of me was actually Mystra!
But isn't Mystra just a system elf under the gods and goddesses, and why would he ......
Yuan Chenfei suddenly understood: "It turns out that you are the leader of all this? You are not a system elf at all, you are the mastermind behind the scenes!"
Mystra smiled, "Dominant, black hand, hehe, you can say that." I am simply carrying out the instructions left by the God of the Apocalypse and fulfilling His unfulfilled wishes. β
"Residual Instructions?Unfinished Wishes?" Yuan Chenfei looked at Mystra: "So, you are indeed a system elf? It's just that your authority has exceeded all the gods, and you are carrying out the instructions left by the God of the Apocalypse?"
"Yes. β
"What's the command?"
"Waiting for the arrival of the transcendent, that is, you. Mystra replied.
Yuan Chenfei's gaze fell on the remains of the God of the Apocalypse: "So, what is going on with all this?"
As you know, God's quest is only for transcendence, for freedom from eternal bondage. β
"What bondage?"
The plane bubbles dispersed, revealing patches of bizarre universes.
Mistra said, "What you see now is the endless plane that unfolds from the fifth dimension. Each plane has its own laws. And you and I are just coming out of one of these planes. But if you think that this is the fifth dimension, you are wrong. β
"Huh, so here's it?"
"The gap between the fourth and fifth dimensions. Mistra replied, "The real fifth dimension is far more vast and vast than this, and it is difficult to see into it, and what we see now is only the tip of the iceberg." The God of the Apocalypse devoted his life to breaking through the four-dimensional limit, but he ultimately failed to do so. But he knew that one day, there would be a transcendent in the true sense of the word. Unfortunately, he could not bear the torment of degradation and could not wait for that moment. β
"What degraded torment?"
"Don't you already know?" replied Mystra.
"Imagination degenerates?" Yuan Chenfei understood.
"Yes, to be exact, a degeneration of thinking. When degraded to the extreme, that's what you're seeing now...... He has lost the ability to think, not so much the death of consciousness as the fact that he is no longer able to think, to imagine, to think about anything, and that consciousness is equivalent to death. β
Yuan Chenfei gasped.
It turns out that the thinking touch is so powerful to the end, and this is the result?
No wonder the gods desperately tried to get rid of it.
Thinking touch is like a shackle, bringing powerful power to the gods, but also constantly compressing the thinking consciousness of the gods until it is completely eliminated......
"How did all this happen?" asked Yuan Chenfei.
Actually, you already know the answer. Mystra Road.
As Mistra spoke, the plane bubbles began to produce a dazzling expanse, and pictures appeared in front of Yuan Chenfei's eyes.
So Yuan Chenfei saw that in the distant future, in a plane bubble universe, a group of creatures were fighting there, and the target of their battle was the desolate world.
This is the premortal life of the gods.
At that time, they were not the opponents of the Flood Desolation Realm, they were struggling to survive, and they were on the verge of extinction.
But at this time, a Protoss awakened.
He gained the power of contemplation and passed it on to the other gods.
As a result, the Protoss became true gods, and they defeated their opponents and dominated the universe.
But at this moment, the earliest god-enlightened person, the god of the apocalypse, felt something abnormal.
He found that his imagination was running dry, and his thinking skills were declining.
When he uses his thoughts to do whatever he can, his mind itself is drying up, as if it has been drained by the touch, and even thinking becomes difficult......
The god of the apocalypse began to panic.
He did everything he could to do that.
He soon discovered that the spread of thought can reduce the power of his own thoughts, thereby delaying the exhaustion of his imagination.
So he began to desperately spread his thoughts......
"Is that the reason?" Yuan Chenfei was stunned.
All analyses based on conjecture are bound to be incorrect if they are biased at all.
Yuan Chenfei thought that the gods spread the thoughts in order to promote everyone's ascension and get rid of the shackles.
But I didn't expect it to be because the process of spreading thoughts would lower oneself and delay the exhaustion of thinking.
To be exact, this is the beginning of the game of gods.
But this is something that only the gods of the apocalypse understand, but the other gods do not know.
However, it was not enough to spread thoughts, and as his thinking abilities continued to dry up, the God of the Apocalypse realized that he could no longer break through the shackles on his own, and that he was affected by some unknown force that he could not even notify the other gods.
He could only try to hint at it.
The first to get hints was the existence of the Four Divine Lords, his former friends, and with the help of his powers, to achieve the position of the Divine Lord.
Perhaps it was not a hint, but as their power grew, they themselves became aware of it.
It was at that time that the gods met the omniscient, and with the help of the omniscient, the gods started the game of the gods. As a supplementary force, Si Touch is not in the system, on the one hand, because the gods do not have the ability to incorporate Si Tu into the system, and on the other hand, because it makes professionals less susceptible to the erosion and kidnapping of Si Tu.
The 10,000-year-long game of the gods has officially begun, and the gods are searching for a way to liberation in an endless game.
And the god of the apocalypse, as the source of the power of the gods, is gradually unable to bear it.
His thoughts were too strong, and his thoughts were gradually drying up.
At that time, he could wipe out all the existence in the universe with a single thought, but his consciousness had withered to the point that it might not even be as good as a three-year-old child.
So he chose silence.
Shut yourself in here, create this cage with all your strength, trap yourself.
He then created Mystra, who took his place in the place of himself, carrying out his instructions - to find the transcendent.
The God of the Apocalypse believes that order and chaos go hand in hand, and that when the gods play to rule the universe, there will inevitably be beings who can transcend all of this.
It was here that Mistra faithfully carried out his orders.
"Wait. Yuan Chenfei was puzzled: "I have a question." β
Mystra: "You say. β
"If the God of the Apocalypse already has only the intelligence of a toddler in his final moments, why does he still believe in the relationship between order and chaos?"
Mistra replied, "It has nothing to do with his intellect, but with an impression that is deep in his consciousness." β
"A deep impression in his consciousness?" Yuan Chenfei was shocked, he had realized something.
"Yes. Mistra said, "It seems that you have already thought of it, and that is the impression that the observer has left on him." β
"Observer?"
"Yes, what we call higher dimensional beings. It is the creator of all things, the creator of thought. It was he, who made the gods gods, and it was they who really created the game of the gods. β
"Why would the observer do this?"
"Then you're going to ask him. β
"Ask him?" Yuan Chenfei was shocked in his heart.
Then he saw that the eyes of the God of the Apocalypse were actually open at this moment.
The moment he opened his eyes, Yuan Chenfei saw that he seemed to be deep in the endless sea of stars, and each star was a dimensional universe.
Under this moment, everything became so small and fragile.
"Observer?" exclaimed Yuan Chenfei.
"Hello, detachment from the lower dimensions. With the help of the mouth of the God of the Apocalypse, an idea has been passed to Yuan Chenfei.
In the face of this will that surpassed his countless levels, even Yuan Chenfei felt trembling from the bottom of his heart at that moment.
It's as if the ants have met God!
"Great Creator!" Yuan Chenfei said respectfully.
The observer has said, "I know your question, but I need your own answer before I can give you an answer. What do you understand of all this?"
First of all, ask me about my own understanding?
Yuan Chenfei froze and said, "My understanding...... I thought that the Creator did all this to rebalance the universe and prolong the life of the universe. β
"Because entropy is decreasing?"
"Yes. β
"Misunderstanding. β
Mistake?
That's not the answer?
Yuan Chenfei took a long breath: "So, entropy reduction has nothing to do with the gods?"
"No, relevant. The existence of the gods does bring about a decrease in entropy, and the reduction of entropy can indeed bring about the balance of the universe and delay the existence of this cosmic plane. But that's just incidental. Just as life instinctively drives to order, an orderly universe is good, but disorder born in an orderly world is even more precious. β
Is the disorder of birth more precious?
Yuan Chenfei was shocked: "Is it for me?"
"This time the answer was correct. β
The purpose of the observer is to give birth to the detached?
But the gods want to give birth to the transcendent in order to be freed from bondage, so what is the purpose of the observer?
Yuan Chenfei couldn't understand.
The observer has said, "In your world, there are games. In order to have an extraordinary experience in the game, you will use a variety of methods. On the one hand, you make the system, balance everything, and make the game play in the balance of the system, which is order. But on the other hand, you write cheats, kryptonite, and use all kinds of methods to get imbalances outside the system, which is chaos. Order and chaos are like companion brothers, as long as they exist, they are destined to be eternal. I created this universe and balanced it, but chaos is bound to exist. And you are the chaotic side of this system of order. β
Am I chaotic?
Yuan Chenfei was speechless by this statement.
In human consciousness, the gods represent order, and demons represent chaos.
But in the eyes of the observer, a penchant for killing is not a sign of chaos. In the view of high-dimensional life measured by the laws of the universe, only the existence of breaking the shackles of the system is chaos.
It's as if a certain game character suddenly has a will of his own, is no longer controlled, transcends the rules of the game, and even challenges the gamer.
That's chaos!
And Yuan Chenfei is this chaos.
"So I'm an NPC? an NPC who awakens to self-awareness?" Yuan Chenfei suddenly realized.
"You can understand it that way. β
"Then why did you create such a being?"
The observer replied, "I did not create you, it was the universe that created you on its own." They have been creating an existence that breaks through the shackles, and they have created it for tens of thousands of years before they finally succeeded in giving birth to you. β
"But you know it's going to happen?"
"Yes, I've been waiting. β
"And why, what does my existence mean to you?"
Unexpectedly, the observer replied: "There is no point." β
Doesn't make sense?
Yuan Chenfei didn't understand.
The Observer said, "Do you know why Mistra calls me an observer? β
"Inaction, you created the gods!"
"Yes, it's like making a game. I made the game, and the rest, it's their own actions. From the moment the Mind Touch Particle was born, I didn't participate in anything here. I only observe this universe occasionally, through the eyes of the apocalypse. β
"So, you're doing all this just to observe?"
"Just to observe. β
"That's not right!" Yuan Chenfei shouted: "You manipulated a universe and played with all life, but just to watch silently?"
"Why not?" replied the observer, "who is as small as you, what qualifications do you have to deserve my expectations? If there is an unexpected ending in your work, it may bring us a little extra appreciation, and that's it. β
Yuan Chenfei trembled with excitement.
He had thought of countless answers, but never had one.
But the truth is so cruel that all of this is just from the observation needs of high-dimensional beings.
He didn't want to admit it, but he couldn't help it.
That's the brutal truth!
The observer has said: "To me, this plane is like a book that I have written by hand, and when I create it, how it develops is its own business. Whether or not the detachment is present does not affect this outcome. In other words, the only effect is that for the detached, I am interested in explaining at least a few words. β
Yuan Chenfei has come to his senses: "Yes, I think highly of myself." In fact, when the gods came, there were similar words......"
When the gods were about to come, Shi Rongzhi said that with the means of the gods, they did not ask for the lower lives, and everything they did was just for a game.
Although it is proved later that the gods actually ask for something, before the real high-dimensional life, all this is really nothing.
It's sad, but it's realistic.
Small, low-dimensional beings are not qualified to be used by high-dimensional beings at all, they are just movies in people's eyes, and being able to be used to see them is a great happiness, and being able to transcend and talk to observers is a great success.
Observer...... Just watching them.
This realization is enough to break people, and the fact is that for the observer, he has seen many detached people who have come this far, and finally become mad and even destroyed because they cannot bear this huge gap in reality.
But none of this affects the observer, for whom any performance is part of the expectation.
However, Yuan Chenfei did not collapse.
He quickly calmed his mood.
Gradually calm down.
He looked up at the Apocalypse Throne, at the eyes that were full of endless unknowns.
He said, "So, you don't really care what we think, what we do, right?"
"Yes. The observer replied.
"Even if I say that one day, I'll transcend everything I have now, come to your level, and challenge you, you won't care, will you?"
"There have been many transcendents before you who have said such things...... Yes, I don't care. β
What a familiar rhetoric.
It was as if Mistra was hearing God not care.
They don't care about everything, unless one day, they have the qualifications to challenge.
But for now, it's still too far away.
The existence in the book can never jump out to fight the higher level.
Can Yuan Chenfei do it?
He didn't know.
No, to be exact, he wished he didn't know.
Because only in this way can there be hope.
Where there is hope, there is value and meaning for existence.
Yuan Chenfei said: "Then, I will continue to work hard, strive to break through this level, surpass you, come to you, and step on you." β
"Welcome. The observer replied, "But what are you going to do?"
"You've already given me the answer, haven't you?" said Yuan Chenfei.
He slowly rose up and came to the throne of the Apocalypse, standing in front of the God of the Apocalypse.
"So, this is your choice? I look forward to your coming. β
The observer spoke, and vanished, and the eyes of the god of the apocalypse dimmed again.
Yuan Chenfei had already pressed his hand on the body of the God of Apocalypse.
Mystra: "Are you sure you want to do that?"
"Yes. Yuan Chenfei replied.
"You know, it's going to be fruitless, you're never going to get to that level. That's not the difference between three and four dimensions...... The plane is inherently four-dimensional, so you can break through. The gap between the fifth dimension and the fourth dimension is as big as ......"
Yuan Chenfei stopped him: "There may be many things that cannot be done in life, but that is not important, the important thing is that there is hope and direction." The meaning of life should be pursued, whether it is the end or not, the important thing is ...... Are you going down. β
"Okay then!"
As he spoke, Yuan Chenfei's body began to turn to ashes, and it gradually dissipated.
At the same time, the eyes of the God of the Apocalypse slowly opened.
The bubble figure of Mistra's incarnation knelt down to the God of the Apocalypse: "System Elf Mistra, I have seen His Majesty the Great God Emperor. β
A rumbling voice was already heard:
"Go on, everything should go on!"
(End of book)
The new book "The Road from the Heart" has been opened, and everyone is welcome to collect and read.
