Chapter 80 Communication (2)
"So... where should I start? Let's start when I was a general. I am a very powerful general, and I have fought many wars and almost never lost. Although I have killed many people, and although many people are afraid of me, I know that they are also admiring me and think I am very great - I think so myself."
"It's amazing." Sui Xiong nodded and said seriously.
"But later I realized that all this is actually illusory. All my efforts, all my hard work, all my achievements, the injuries I suffered, the support of the military and civilians, the affirmation of my colleagues, and the trust of the king in me are all worthless! Faced with the enemy with an overwhelming advantage, I could not resist it at all. If I hadn't run fast, I could not even keep myself." The Lord of Glory sighed deeply, and the evil aura on his face weakened a little. "When I ran alone and was chased by a large number of pursuers, what I felt was not fear or tension, but... emptiness."
"Empty, total emptiness. It turns out that everything is fake and nothing is reliable. The only thing that can be reliable is yourself, only the sword in my hand!"
"Do you think your sword came out of thin air?" Sui Xiong sneered, "Miners dug iron ore, the smelter made it into iron ingots, and the blacksmith then made it into weapons, and perhaps there were mages enchanted it - without them, where did you get the sword?"
The Lord of Glory smiled again, without any intention of quarrel.
Even if they will have a big battle sooner or later, they will have to separate life and death, and even if they all understand this, at least at this moment, they are still sitting here to communicate peacefully.
Since this is the case, why bother quarreling? Talking out the thoughts in each other is a good thing for each other.
Especially for Himself.
Only by speaking out can He be more relaxed.
Next, Lord of Glory talked a lot.
His life, His ideals, His past.
And all of this is ultimately just two words.
emptiness.
"Everything in this world will be from birth to death. After death, it will be re-emerged in other ways with the flow of the great cycle, and will experience a new cycle again... and will continue again and never stop." The Lord of the Glory's expression was melancholy and vicissitudes. "In such a cycle, whether it is love or hate, victory or failure, it cannot resist the power of time. Everything will eventually disappear under the erosion of the great cycle, leaving no trace, only this cycle will never stop... In such a world, aren't everything I did and experienced back then very empty?"
Sui Xiong said nothing. As an artist, he could certainly understand this sense of emptiness.
So he said: "Empty always exists, but we are all immortal gods who transcend time. As transcendents, we do not need to be emptiness."
"The transcendent? Even if he becomes a god, he will never die, but he has not truly surpassed the Great Circle. From ancient times to the present, I wonder how many gods have fallen. Have they truly achieved eternity? Even those gods who have lived from ancient times to the present, those gods who are even older than the Great Circle, are they just lingering!" The Lord of Glory said disdainfully, "Either huddling in his own world tremblingly, or hiding in a place that no one can find, or becoming slaves of the Great Circle, working hard to maintain the stability of the Great Circle - isn't this empty? I can't see what value is such a life!"
Sui Xiong couldn't help but ask: "So in your opinion, is it worthless to lead everyone forward like me, correct those wrong things and rules, and build a new and better new era?"
"Your thoughts are very similar to mine at the beginning. If you can't find value, then let others affirm my value." said the Lord of Glory, "For a long period of time after the deity, I was addicted to such a life. I led mankind to keep moving forward, achieving victory and success again and again, and finally became the most powerful race in the world. I found happiness in everyone's joy, value in everyone's trust and worship, to fill my emptiness."
Sui Xiong nodded: "You did a good job at that time, and even I would admire you."
The Lord of Light showed a warm smile, but then he restrained: "But the emptiness cannot be filled, it is always there, bothering me."
Sui Xiong looked at His face that had a little bit of humanity and sighed secretly.
The Lord of Glory is undoubtedly an outstanding hero, but he can defeat all kinds of enemies but cannot defeat the emptiness in his heart. This may be the so-called "external demons can be defeated, but inner demons cannot be defended" in the fairy tale novels he read before traveling through time.
But he thought again that the reason why the Lord of Glory worked so hard and kept moving forward was to fill the emptiness in His heart. If there was no such "intellectual demon", then perhaps He would not have had that earth-shaking achievement and would not have reached the current height.
It is difficult to evaluate which one is better and which one is worse between success or failure.
After sighing, the Lord of Glory sighed, he said: "I talked to the teacher about the depression in my heart. The teacher said that He could not understand my pain, but He felt that the reason why I was empty and painful was probably because I was not at the level, not standing high enough, and not seeing far enough. The powerful divine power may be enough to make the whole world look at it, but above this, there is a higher level."
"So, we began to study the great power and how to reach that state."
Sui Xiong nodded slightly. Most of the powerful divine powers were studying how to reach the great divine power. Although the management was different, "wanting to see the scenery at a high place" might be consistent.
It has nothing to do with good or evil. It is the instinct of all living beings to be higher, faster and stronger.
"We have referred to many paths and made many attempts. Finally, the teacher believes that no matter how strong the powerful divine power is, it cannot be broken through and become a great divine power. There is an essential difference between the two. Therefore, if you want to break through, the most reliable way is to adjust your own essence and make progress in essence. To do this, you must first find your own essence - eliminate all external interference, find the most fundamental and basic thing, and find the real 'self'."
Sui Xiong narrowed his eyes and remembered the scene Morani had shown himself the death of the Knight God.
At that time, the clergy of the Knight God continued to weaken, and in the end, even the most basic clergy was gone, but his power became stronger and stronger, beyond imagination.
"The teacher decided to experiment with this path himself. He tried it, and then failed." The Lord of Light sighed and said, "Even if he was strong enough to match several powerful divine powers, His essence is still not strong enough to support such an attempt. But from the glory of His last moment, I think the path He found is correct, but he does not have enough power to go on this path and walk through it."
Sui Xiong was stunned, and then he realized the truth and couldn't help but sigh.
Even though he had become a great divine power before, he could not understand the situation of the Knight God at that time. Until now, he surpassed the attributes and laws, he truly understood what happened at that time.
What the Knight God found was not actually the path of powerful divine power to great divine power, but the first step from great divine power to transcendent.
"Teacher is really amazing. When he was just powerful divine power, he had already seen through the direction to the 'transcendent'." As a transcendent, the Lord of Light certainly understood the truth about the step of the Knight God, and said with a look of admiration. "Although He prefers his youngest student too much, it does not damage His wisdom."
"...You are talking about my elder brother? The Knight God didn't even tell him his true identity. This is also called partiality? That old man passed on the throne of the Lord of Humanity to you, and he also used his life to find a way forward for you. Are you not satisfied with this?" Sui Xiong frowned and couldn't help but refute.
"You won't understand. For the teacher, truly caring for a person is not to interfere with Him, do not restrain Him, and let Him develop freely. Only when He needs it most... This is how He treats Yol Gadman. And I am just a serious injury in the war with the ancestors and find a successor to take over his job!"
Sui Xiong shook his head. He really couldn't understand the thoughts of the Lord of Glory.
