Just as Soshyan felt Xerxes' despair at that time, suddenly a painting appeared in his mind, which was the withered god eating the child in his hand in horror.
God of Food...
He finally understood why the mortals said that it was the work that Xerxes was most reluctant to face. The fear was not the emperor. Even the painting was probably from Xerxes himself. It depicted a dark and cruel future possibility about Xerxes - overthrew the Father God, but turned to the complete beast nature in the struggle between divinity and humanity, and could only continue to devour the future to survive.
The God of Food... refers not to the Emperor, but Xerxes himself!
"If you want to wear a crown, you must bear the weight. This sentence will enlighten you in the past and in the present."
The words of the confusing person made Suo Shiyang raise his head, but there was still confusion in his eyes.
Erda, not far away, immediately started to scold him.
"Don't listen to this old donkey making a defense for himself! There are obviously other ways! He only thinks about his great achievements! He has never really thought about his children! The wisdom and compassion that Professor Awakens taught him have learned from him all the dogs!"
The confusing person shook his head and held his forehead with his hands. Even through the mask, he could feel his helplessness and speechlessness.
Soshyan blinked and turned to look at Erda.
"There is still...a way?"
"The situation of grey graft can at least be alleviated."
"What?"
The confused person sighed and took the speech.
"Soul, an uncountable soul, can temporarily stabilize the infinite desire of the immortal star fall with the soul."
"I know this...I do know."
"You don't know that your grey now is different from Xerxes. The death of the immortal stars at that time was even more violent... and more hungry."
"That's also-"
Halfway through, Soshiyang stopped, and he also realized a question - how many souls are needed to stabilize the Immortal Star Falcon?
The confused man noticed his thoughts and nodded slightly.
"It is uncountable and impossible to calculate, it may be hundreds of billions, or it may be counted in megabytes, or even the entire star area, the entire star field...living people, or half of the human empire...population."
"So what?"
Erda's words became particularly harsh at this time...
"Didn't you always regard mortals as slaves and livestock? Why did you feel pitiful again at this time? Manilic is our child, and he is more important than anything else! Mortals always grow and wither. You keep saying that you want to make him a godlike heart, but why did you suddenly become falsely merciful again?"
Soshiyang closed his eyes, and he finally realized that the most abnormal person present was actually the mother of the Primrose...
Seeing such an emperor and Erda, Soshyan suddenly realized that he was so lucky to have a normal parent. If he was the Primarch and had to face these two people, he would be really deteriorating.
The confused man seemed to have lost his patience, rubbed his finger joints, and said lightly:
"I don't want to argue with you about these issues. What you think is your business, I'm just explaining it."
Soshiyan opened his eyes and turned to Erda and said:
"Ms. Erda, I want to ask you for some questions."
Erda looked at him and nodded.
"Come with me."
Soshiyang stood up and looked at the confused person, and the other party nodded.
"It's better for you to ask her about Lee than me."
Hearing the Quake mentioned Lee, Erda turned around and glared at him, then opened the door, and Soshiyang followed.
Stepping forward, the next second he came to a dilapidated garden, surrounded by withered flowerbeds, dried fountains and grey broken statues wrapped in dry vines like iron wire. The images of the statues were already very blurred, and they all seemed to come from different eras, including barbarians holding stone axes, warriors holding swords and shields, and even Soshiyan saw warriors wearing power armor...
Looking up, the sky is dark, and raindrops fall from above and turn into cool raindrops.
Every drop of rain fell on his body, as if it could make his heart covered with resentment and sadness, as if he was crying with this endless rain.
Erda walked ahead, where the only building in the garden stood, a lonely square building.
The drizzle gradually stopped, and Soshiyan followed Erda up the greystone steps. Between the two huge dark blue pillars, a door carved with unknown symbols slowly opened itself.
What appeared in front of Soshiyang was a wide glass corridor that extended to the end of the field of view. Both sides were covered with dark gold-blended blue grids, and a slender wine bottle was quietly inserted into each grille, endless.
"Is this...a wine cellar?"
Soshiyang walked slowly in the corridor, looking around curiously around everything he could see.
"Can I see it?"
Hearing Soshiyan's words, Erda stopped, but did not look back.
"Can."
With a little curiosity, Soshiyang stretched out his hands and carefully pulled out one of the wine bottles, held them in his hand and looked them carefully.
As a result, what he saw from the reflection was first trembling and wriggling blood, and then a dazzling light flashed. Before the light could disappear and reveal the scenery, he fell into the darkness and died.
"This is..."
"This is what babies who have only gained a moment of rebirth and died unfortunately. The wine they remembered is the most full of hope and joy, and the taste is the most fleeting."
Erda's voice was plain and quiet. When the goddess with the fluttering skirt turned slowly like a slight push by the gray sea waves, Soshiyang could not see her face. On her face were shadows of various faces overlapping, old woman, beautiful woman, girl...
When Soshiyang blinked, the other party changed back to his original appearance, but there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
"So these are all... memories of babies or children?"
"Yes, let's go."
Soshiyan put back the bottle, followed Erda and continued to go deeper, and finally arrived at a warm and weird hall.
It is huge and warm. The lights hanging from the dome are all beautiful stars and moon shapes. There are also many baby hanging baskets, even the walls are pink, the ground is covered with furry carpets, and there are many steps around. There are baby cradles of different shapes. All the furnishings around look like they appear in babies' rooms, including toys, puppets, building blocks, and even many plush toys walking around, holding golden trays with candy inside.
Similarly, wine racks are everywhere here, with starry wine bottles inside.
"Sit down."
Erda sat down directly on the blanket. Seeing this, Soshiyan also sat on the ground, crossing one foot and lifting his knees on the other so that his hands could have a support point.
