Chapter 61: The Anatomy of the Self
In a world without light, darkness, no people, no things, and no sound, Yi Dao Ren exists in a form that he is not clear about.
Perhaps it is a human form, perhaps it is just a dot without any limbs, or perhaps it is also a messy ball... Yi Daoren has guessed his current form countless times.
He couldn't help but guess!
This world is a gap between the real world and the truth, and is a boring world where nothing exists!
If Dao Ren Yi didn't find something for him to do, he wouldn't know how he should live... the feeling of not feeling anything, as if he was alone, could be said to be completely the same as death!
But now, he doesn't need to think about his own form for the time being, because he was in a good mood after teasing Pride Yi just now, which is enough for him to maintain his mental stability for a period of time.
"Haha... I'm also fragile enough." In the void, Taoist Yi mocked himself: "In my condition, it would be best to watch the newborn Pride who combines me with the arrogance of that guy. But I really can't stand the feeling of feeling that I can't feel anything here."
Indeed, because his body was injected with the arrogant Sage Stone combined with the 'Master Father', the manipulation power of the flesh had been taken away by Pride Yi.
His best way to do now is to make Pride Yi and other Homon Cruise, including 'Dad Master', not discover him, and find a chance to regain his body.
That's not impossible.
After all, the owner of the meat is originally him, even if Pride Yi Fusion has his arrogance... Just as Pride Yi doesn't think he is Yi Dao Ren or a part of "Master Father", Yi Dao Ren also doesn't think Pride Yi is a part of him, at most he has a connection with him.
Or it can be said that Pride Yi is quite good with his and the children of "Master". Although they have a very close relationship with their children, their children are not just them.
It’s just that Pride Yi, a child who is not obedient, occupies one of his ‘parents’, Yi Dao Ren’s flesh.
Yi Daoren could not accept that the world he lived in was a void that was nothing and could not even grasp the passage of time. After coming to this void, he found that he longed for sound and color around him than anyone else!
Various sounds, colorful colors!
Because those are the proof of his life!
And this world with nothing is not a world where living creatures can exist... At least, Yi Daoren's will is not strong enough to make him live alone without anything!
He can bear the pressure, he can bear the responsibility, but he cannot bear the responsibility, nor can he bear the responsibility, so Taoist Yi broke free from this world and returned to his own body.
The gap between the real world and the truth has no boundaries, nor will it have boundaries. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to leave after coming to this world.
But Taoist Yi did not come to this world in a complete form. His soul was just exiled to this world... It is actually not correct to say that it is exiled.
He entered this world because after the Sage Stone entered his body, in order to break free from the human dragon vein breath in the Sword Stone, those evil ghosts and souls who had been dead for many years. Or it can be said that if according to the description of myths on the earth, this is the gap between the present world and the border, if you go further, you will die, and if you take a step back, you will live... The so-called gap is such an ambiguous existence in any world!
But Taoist Yi was not just a simple soul coming to this world.
In alchemy, people are divided into three parts: flesh, spirit, and soul.
Meat is the basis of life. Even if there are people like Alphonse Ellik, they also have metal armor as his body. Even his original body may still exist somewhere and are supported by his brother Edward Ellik!
The soul is the core of man, represents the will and wisdom of mankind, and guides all human actions.
Spirit is the bond between flesh and soul, making flesh and soul perfectly unite.
None of these three is a complete human being without any of them.
Of course, Yi Daoren is a complete human being!
Although his soul came to this cracked world, his soul still had a subtle connection with his flesh!
So shortly after coming to this world, he followed the connection between flesh and spirit and brought his soul back into his body... That is when Pride Yi and Kim Bradley were talking.
It was then that he realized that he would only stay in this world for a day or two at most.
However, although he returned to his own meat, his meat had a new will, that is, Pride Yi, which prevented him from truly owning his own meat.
The situation of Yi Daoren at this moment was like a house that was lived in by others after the owner left. When the owner came back, he found that the house was no longer his own!
However, for Yi Daoren, that's acceptable!
In a world where there is nothing, the ambiguous concept of time can make a day or two as long as one or two years, or even longer. Being able to return to a world where you can actually feel time is enough for him to be temporarily satisfied!
"But how should I take back my flesh next?" This is the question that Dao Ren Yi is most concerned about at the moment.
No one or any creature can sit by and watch their flesh be taken away without trying to retake it back. Even if there is, it will be helpless due to lack of strength, not without thinking!
Yi Daoren is not the kind of helpless weak person. No matter what, he is not a weak person. However, it is not easy for him to regain his flesh.
Needless to say, the first obstacle is naturally Pride Yi.
As the current owner of Yi Dao Ren's flesh, he could never give up Yi Dao Ren's flesh!
The flesh, spirit, and soul of creatures are indispensable. The one who gives up the flesh represents death naturally.
Pride Yi, who has been born successfully, is a life of a life, and how can life be willing to perish itself?
Of course, in this case, Yi Daoren also had some of his own ideas, such as he and Pride Yi negotiated to create a new meat bar to transfer another soul to the new meat bar, so that the two would win-win and survive together.
But this idea was finally abandoned by Taoist Yi.
Not that this idea is bad.
This is a very good idea, and it can be said that no one has any better ideas than this one!
However, this idea has a very big flaw, that is, Taoist Yi will not be a complete person from now on!
As the combination of the arrogance between Yi Daoist and "Master Father", Pride Yi needs to swallow the arrogance of other Homon Cruz or "Master Father" to make up for himself and make up for his own incompleteness. Doesn't Yi Daoist also need to swallow Pride Yi Daoist to make up for his own incompleteness?
Pride Yi is so arrogant! In this way, it is naturally impossible for Yi Daoren to let Pride Yi survive!
Perhaps arrogance is useless for ordinary people, but it is not the case for Yi Dao Ren, or for any human being, arrogance is an indispensable emotion!
"Master Father" regards it as original sin, which is an obstacle to becoming God, but Taoist Yi thinks that it is a necessary thing to becoming God!
God is a perfect thing. How can he become God after lacking arrogance?
Original sin can never be abandoned. Those who give up original sin are actually escaping the remedy of original sin!
If there is no original sin, isn’t it just a stubborn stone?
Becoming a God's existence is bound to grasp original sin, control original sin, and take everything in one's own hands. How can the weak who only know how to become God and become a perfect thing?
And only after having seven emotions and six desires can you enjoy the world better, right?
After confirming that he could not coexist with Pride Yi, Yi Daoren thought of another existence where he took back his flesh... "Master Father", or the Homoncross with "Master Father" as the core!
This is the biggest obstacle for Taoist Yi to regain his flesh... He alone could never be an enemy of those powerful Homoncross!
Although his strength is great, after killing his ex Pride, he feels confident that he will be enemies with all Homon Cruise except "Master Father".
But he is still just a person after all!
His strength is not strong enough to ignore all Homoncross, especially 'Master'!
That day, after he attacked "Master Father" by polluting the dragon vein, he was flooded with his polluted soul by using countless sage stone energy, that is, the endless human dragon vein representing the human soul, he knew that he might not be able to beat "Master Father" in his life!
The "Master Father" who swallowed so many sage stones in his body has completely different from the concept of biological.
If you really want to use one word to describe it, it should be supernatural creatures such as elves and monsters that are different from humans!
‘Master Father’ has already changed the number of Sage Stones into a qualitative change!
Moreover, if Dao Ren Yi was not mistaken, the alchemy attainments of "Master Father" are definitely the best in the world... no doubt about it!
Even his creation and destruction are incomparable!
Because his creation and destruction also need to follow the iron rules of alchemy and equivalent exchange, and his father has completely ignored the principle of equivalent exchange, or he has used countless human souls to help him offset the equivalent exchange, becoming the truth that can directly ignore the cause and obtain the result!
"What a terrible robber!" Yi Daoren sighed.
That's right, his evaluation of "Master Father" is an extremely bad robber!
Snatch human life and then use human life to gain your own benefits.
To be honest, sometimes Yi Dao Ren also envies this practice. After all, selfishness is the instinct of every creature! And this practice of using others to achieve one's own goals is the most selfish approach and the practice that can achieve the greatest benefits!
However, Taoist Yi was just envious. He really couldn't do it if he asked him to do it.
He is a selfish person, but he is also a person who is willing to take responsibility for himself!
For himself, he can do many things, including being his own kind, a human butcher, and using babies as experimental subjects, but he will also be responsible for his actions!
For him, it was also a manifestation of selfishness... His selfishness was not simply for selfishness, but for self-satisfaction!
Satisfies his inner desires and his desires that conform to his own values. This is his selfishness.
The simple selfishness and the practice of completely treating others as consumables obviously do not conform to his views.
He wasn't sure whether he would change his mind in the future, but at least at this moment, he wouldn't do that.
Because he does not admit that he is a good person, nor does he admit that he is a bad person, but only thinks that he is a person who makes the right decisions!
Right or wrong, right or wrong, should be decided by him alone!
Selfishness is correct for him, but the practice of using other people's lives as consumables is wrong for him... It has been unwilling to join the "Master Father" and others because of this idea of Yi Daoren.
This is an idea that is so simple that it cannot be simple, but it is also an idea that most people in the world cannot do.
Because humans are group animals, an animal that cannot leave the group!
The reason why Taoist Yi was able to do this is very simple... He is not an Armestrian, he is not a person from this world, and this world has no connection with him from beginning to end!
Although this manifestation was not revealed when he first came into contact with Charlie, after joining the Ishbar Annihilation Battle, his feeling of being alone became more and more obvious.
"Speaking of this, there is no difference between me and the Flask Little Man... He is an alien in this world, so why am I not?" The bitter laughter drifted endlessly in the void where nothing existed, and then disappeared into the endless.
"I am just a traveler... a traveler without any sense of belonging... a traveler without any goal... but the traveler at least has home to go back to. Where is me? Can I return to the earth?"
No one can give Yi Daoren the answer. Even the first alchemy person in the world that Yi Daoren needs to face at this moment cannot give Yi Daoren the answer. The only one who can give Yi Daoren the answer is that illusory god!
But there is no god in this world!
Even though Taoist Yi would pray for the people he killed, he knew that there would be no god in this world!
"Without God... then become God! Become an omniscient and omnipotent God, who takes everything into his own hands!"
It seemed as if he was shocked by the shouts in the soul of Taoist Yi. Taoist Yi suddenly felt that the world in the crack seemed to shake suddenly. Then, he found that he seemed to have come to a place where objects exist!
There seems to be liquid and solid in this place, but as a soul, Yi Daoren has no vision or touch, but he just vaguely feels that this world is no longer a world that has nothing before.
However, Taoist Yi could still feel that this place is still in the gap between the real world and the truth!
