"Carcosa...Aldebaran galaxy Lake Harry...the dark sun is already high in the sky..."
A deep female voice echoed in the dark space. She looked up at the stars and felt a vague response.
She thought that maybe this ancient man was really different. That call came from nowhere, and maybe it was ringing in her own heart, just like before.
Wearing a robe, Ancient Yi settled his thoughts and pursued the dark voice of the universe until it reached the bottom of his heart. Before the fog dissipated, he took a step towards the deepest part of the spiritual world, and then came to the huge city.
above.
Is this Carcosa?
Ancient One stood on the edge of the sky island and looked down. The shadow of the huge city below was both majestic and terrifying like an abyss. The countless spiers protruding from the city were just like when Ancient One visited a certain place in the Aldebaran galaxy.
The same debris seen on a planet.
Some weird patterns were revealed in the surging mist, which had a kind of Gothic beauty, but it was not exactly the same. Gu Yi did not feel the darkness, sadness and contradiction in it, and there was no Gothic core of mysticism.
There is only a kind of peace and tranquility.
When the fog gradually thickened, Gu Yi turned around with some feeling and saw the black sun guarded by countless fogs. He hung quietly in the sky without saying a word, and those mysterious patterns and surging particles had told
Got all the answers from Ancient One.
Ancient One clasped his hands together and saluted, and said: "I know you will not respond, but as the Supreme Mage, I still want to thank you for warning the earth. Thank you, Ancient One. Humanity has taken action, and the past will not happen again."
Come."
The Black Sun will never respond. Gu Yi knows this. Maybe he is not a life at all, but more like a machine in human understanding. He only follows certain logical actions, but Gu Yi firmly believes that he has abundant emotions, can understand order, and has
like.
In Gu Yi's long life, she has seen many such gods. Not all demon gods are chaotic and crazy. There are many regular existences that truly love their creations and protect them like fathers and mothers.
Delighted with their progress.
Judging from the experience of Ancient One for many years, the more they can understand order and create order, the older and more powerful they are, because there is a price to pay to protect the order they created. If they could not defeat all the invaders, let them
Self-preservation is no problem at all, and they have no energy left to love their creations.
"We should come and talk about you." Gu Yi still maintained his clasped hands, but raised his head and said, "It's probably not a coincidence that you called me. Do you want to make a deal with me?"
The black sun did not respond, still hanging quietly in the sky, like the only darkness condensed in the endless gray. When it is dark enough, it will show that other light-colored places are brighter. It sounds very contradictory.
, but it is particularly beautiful when observed.
"What do you want?" Gu Yi asked again, and she patiently listed what she could provide: "Energy, soul, door to the real world, pain and blood, willpower, beautiful character...
"
Gu Yiyi is already very familiar with this process. When she puts her chips on the table, she can judge what kind of existence the other party is based on their choices.
Gods who prefer neutrality prefer things related to the soul, not soul energy, but the meaning of the existence of the soul, the authenticity of life in the universe. They will hope that their contractors will dedicate their souls after completing the contract, but they will not absorb the soul.
, I just hope that they will be with you, so that they can listen to the pulse of the universe.
Gods who tend to be kind like the tranquility and calmness that come from some kind of long trial, so they often provide tests to contractors, perhaps to find certain fragments, or to explore certain knowledge. They like the results that contractors produce during their concentration.
The power of calm, that's their tranquilizer.
Gods who prefer chaos and evil often demand blood, pain and screams. They will drive their followers to destroy, or simply ask powerful beings to open the door for them to invade the real world so that they can kill everyone.
kill.
As long as the gods put forward conditions, Gu Yi can see through them and then decide how to deal with them. Of course, she will not stop destroying them just because the gods are kind enough. Everything only depends on her own needs.
The black sun still didn't respond, and seemed to have completely rejected Gu Yi's transaction request, but Gu Yi did not lose patience. She just stood here quietly, like a statue, as if she could spend thousands of years like this.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the fog became thicker. Gu Yi raised his head, narrowed his eyes slightly, and stared intently at the huge black sun. There was no light or sound, but the flow direction of the sun's particles changed slightly.
The black sun showed a different pattern to Gu Yi, and some other knowledge poured into Gu Yi's mind. After gradually understanding these obscure knowledge, Gu Yi showed a slightly confused expression.
emotion?
Gu Yi lowered his head and took a breath, then raised his head and looked at the black sun with calm and powerful eyes, and said: "Do you want emotions? What kind of emotions? Joyful, painful, peaceful, confused...
…You want it all? You’re too greedy.”
Gu Yi didn't seem to have heard this request, but she still breathed out, looked at the black sun and said: "The passionate emotions in my youth have long gone away from me. After I achieved the perfection of my state of mind, I rarely
There are mood swings.”
"But you came at the right time, or I came at the right time. Not long ago, I did feel regretful, because some of my habits have become natural behaviors. Can this satisfy your request?"
The black sun did not respond, and the solar particles were still surging silently according to the previous rules, but Gu Yi knew that this was a gesture of accepting everything, and she still had a question that she had to discuss.
"So, what can you give me?"
The answer appeared in Gu Yi's heart. There was still no sound or image. It was just a concept, like Gu Yi's sudden idea, but she knew that it was the response.
Knowledge and truth.
"What kind of knowledge? And what kind of truth?"
Then Gu Yi got the answer again. He frowned and read out the answer softly: "...all of them?"
Gu Yi showed a tangled look. He didn't look like the kind of arrogant demon god with a burned-out brain, but Gu Yi really didn't know how he was going to give him all the knowledge and truth.
Gu Yi decided to take a chance, just because this black sun was not like any kind of life she had ever seen. It just hung quietly high in the sky, majestic, terrifying and magnificent, like nature on another level.
"I will tell my story first, and then you will tell yours. I will open my heart completely and tell you my happiness, pain and confusion. I don't want much. You should answer my questions and tell me who you are.
What, what is there in the depths of the stars..."
After Gu Yi finished speaking, without any hesitation, her eyebrows slightly frowned, she fell into memories, and began to tell the story of her and Jennifer.
"After I arrived in that universe, I started patrolling until I saw a little girl in the backyard of a house who was completely different from other monsters..."
"...Then Jennifer started to tremble constantly, and I realized what a big mistake I had made. My empiricism was about to kill her..."
"This was an accident, but I prefer to think that it was a human error, a mistake made by me. I took away the little girl as a savior, but I failed to truly fulfill my savior's duties...
"
"Every Supreme Mage must firmly believe that he is invulnerable. Once their doubts waver, they may drag the earth into disaster..."
"Yes, you are right. This kind of extreme arrogance is constantly taming our spirit and personality, but I don't feel pain. A sense of responsibility is the greatest meaning of existence that humans can find..."
"No, I don't think it has anything to do with whether it can be made up for. I have made many irreparable mistakes, but they have never frustrated me as much as this time..."
Gu Yi stared at the changing patterns of the black sun, feeling the thoughts constantly pouring out of her heart. What surprised her was that this ancient god was telling her his understanding of her in this way, and he was analyzing her.
Emotions, explaining their origins.
He was providing another kind of knowledge, one that the Ancient One had paid little attention to, one that acted on the abstract aspects of intelligent creatures.
Ancient One began to speak out the knowledge provided by the Black Sun so that he could better understand them in an orderly manner.
"I have always been balancing my own humanity and divinity. When I was the Supreme Mage, divinity prevailed. My responsibility to all mankind forced me to become a god and make one choice after another that was beneficial to most people.
"
"Perhaps the change occurred when I had a qualified successor and the responsibilities on my shoulders were no longer so heavy, so my humanity gradually returned. I began to no longer be caught up in the gains and losses of interests, and no longer had to worry about which side to save, so I began to
Become greedy and hope that the tiniest bit of salvation won't go wrong."
"I used to have a high tolerance for sacrifice. In addition to being willing to sacrifice myself, I was also not afraid of sacrificing certain people in my tribe. I would not feel guilty or depressed about this, just because divinity suppressed everything. I will do my best to preserve what I can, and then I will have a clear conscience."
"But when humanity prevails, I will hope that there will be no more sacrifices, not to sacrifice Jennifer, nor to sacrifice all mankind, and if I fail to do so, I will feel what I rarely felt when I sacrificed my own kind. Sad...the pursuit of perfection comes from the compassion in human nature, but also from the greed in human nature."
After Gu Yi's words fell, she was silent for a long time, then she clasped her hands together again, her robe floating slightly, and she said: "I have always regarded human emotions as mysterious things, and sometimes I even think that demons are easier to understand than humans. "
"But I will say, yes, Your Majesty, this is indeed a wonderful knowledge, another way of observing the world. If this is what you give me in return, I can accept it without any additional Knowledge, I think is enough."
But soon, Gu Yi felt that other knowledge floated into her heart in the form of page after page. Gu Yi observed carefully and found that what was recorded on it were the secrets of the stars.
Ancient One read out the names on each page of the book, and was shocked by the enormity and terror of this mysterious god system hidden deep in the stars.
She lowered her head and looked at the cover of the notebook that was gradually taking shape. There was a black sun on it, and the Arabic word "Necronomicon" written in cursive script.
And she finally saw a very clear message, or a warning, on the huge black sun - "Do not circulate."
