Chapter 24: I'm a God After All (7400, First Shift, Asking for a Monthly Pass at the End of the Month~)
The strange man with long gray hair, a dangerous existence who claimed to be the god of the wind, smiled at Su Sun and saluted with his hat.
According to the etiquette of the world of Tartadis, the hat should be taken off at this time, but his hat is obviously a strange mimic carapace, although it is not impossible to take off, but it is certainly not so beautiful when taken off.
He thought that Su Sun would be surprised by this, but he didn't expect that Su Sun just made a mediocre voice: "Oh. ”
After finishing it, it seemed that he felt that this attitude was not very polite, and Su Yan hurriedly added: "Hello, God of Wind...... I didn't expect to be transformed into a human being, which is really amazing, how did this happen? ”
Obviously, there was no hint of surprise in his tone, but rather a deep curiosity.
“…… Hello to you, too. "The God of Wind has already shown his near-god level momentum at this time. In terms of coercion alone, it is not inferior to the god of water in the past.
Moreover, being able to just release momentum without causing changes in the surrounding aura proves that the power control of the wind god may be stronger than the water god, and the recovery is better than the opponent.
Although Su Sun's attitude was very discouraged, the Wind God continued to smile and said, "As for how to do it, it's just an ordinary carapace. ”
Saying this, the gray-haired man's face, bounded by the middle line of his cheeks, opened to both sides like a window—but what appeared in front of Su Tian's eyes were compound eyes and fluffy like bees.
Soon, two carapaces like human faces were covered, but everything was clear, the human form of the wind god was completely wrapped in a human form with his own special exoskeleton armor, and inside it was still a huge insect.
Just as Su Sun had speculated at the beginning, it was likely that the main race of the Age of Wind was really the many insect-like demonic beasts at that time.
Of course, the scene of treating the human face as the opening of the window is indeed very curious, the God of Wind originally thought that Su Sun would be surprised by this, but Su Sun was simply surprised: "It can still be like this!" ”
To be honest, this slightly surprising reaction is more powerless than calm and expressionless.
This immediately made the Wind God a little depressed.
"Aren't you surprised?"
The god, whose personality was obviously not very dull and serious, sighed and said, "Obviously, ordinary people, whether it is the age of water or the age of earth, are very surprised when they see my face change. ”
"I'm actually quite surprised."
And Su Sun said honestly: "But I think I really show a very surprised emotion, just as you want - I don't like to make others comfortable pretending, unless that person is my friend, if so, I will still laugh." But you're not my friend. ”
Since both sides had normal thinking in the general sense, the conversation was not choked by such straightforward words, but continued smoothly.
"You are indeed the god of the wind—although you are well suppressed, I also have a little talent for the wind, and I can sense that a fluttering breeze flows around you all the time."
When the other party declared his identity, Su Sun confirmed the authenticity of the identity of the God of Wind, and there was indeed a power in his body that was similar to Fengsuke, but seemed to be more powerful, closer to the essence of the 'flow and gas' spiritual power.
This power, like the control of the god of water over water, is too powerful, so it is obvious.
Although Su Sun is good at talking trash, in this case, he doesn't want to talk too much nonsense: "If you come to me alone, it must mean that you have investigated me and know the fact that the God of Water was killed by me." Wind God, may I think that you don't want to be my enemy? If so, can I ask you a question? ”
"I am not against you...... In a sense, it is. ”
Although many people are not very accustomed to Su Sun's straightforward and straightforward way of communication, the God of Wind is not a human, he is an insect life with an unknown ontology, and he just 'smiled' at Su Sun's question: "I came here to meet you alone, and what I wanted to do was definitely to communicate - as for the question, you can ask, you can answer, and I will definitely answer." ”
"That's good." The huge wingless dragon nodded slightly, he raised one of his dragon fingers, and Su Sun's purple-blue vertical pupils stared at the wind god in front of him: "Wind God, your strength recovered so quickly, could it be that you used the method of slaughtering blood sacrifices to recover your strength?" ”
"Slaughter blood sacrifices? This thing, other gods may put it, but I don't use it. ”
Regarding Su Sun's question, the God of Wind seemed to be a little unimpressed: "In the final analysis, it only takes time for the god to recover his strength, and it is enough to find his own temple, the power obtained by the blood sacrifice is messy, and he can recover a little strength at the beginning, but in the future, it will become a drag on himself." ”
"Those young gods need to protect their people, so they need to recover their strength quickly, so they are willing to slaughter, but I don't have to protect my people."
"Huh, don't you need to?"
Hearing that the God of Wind did not use the method of slaughtering blood sacrifices to recover his strength, Su Sun, who felt that he could communicate with each other, frowned slightly, but soon, he thought of an even worse possibility, and his face became solemn: "I said, although it is a little impolite and presumptuous-but you should not ...... your people?"
"Please don't overthink it."
And when the God of Wind heard Su Day's words halfway through, he knew what he was going to say, the god shook his head and smiled helplessly: "The God of Fire of the previous generation was a strange aggregate of elemental gods, at the end of the era, he forcibly absorbed the light and heat of all the people, trying to break through the realm of gods with great power, and then break the cycle of reincarnation. ”
"But he failed, even if he gathered everything in that Fire Age, he didn't break through - and the Wind Age was developed on the corpse of this Fire Age, and through the information left in the Labyrinth of the Underworld, I naturally knew what happened, and of course I wouldn't do that kind of stupid thing to absorb the power of my kind."
"So, you didn't eat your own people......"
Hearing this, no matter whether what the other party said was true or not, at least Su Sun could confirm that the God of Wind knew more than the God of Water, and he nodded a little embarrassedly: "I didn't expect your people to all perish, it's me who took the liberty to mourn ......"
"That's exactly what it is. And I don't say that I don't need to protect my people, not because they're all gone, but because they're too strong for me to do. ”
Nodding slightly, the Wind God 'laughed' again, even if the smile was just a change in the carapace of the mimic exoskeleton, but the relaxed mood emanated from the soul, and he said as he stretched out his hand to the air beside him.
Su Sun focused his gaze on the raised arm of the Wind God, and he was slightly stunned.
Because, on the raised finger of the god of wind, there was a small moth lying on its stomach.
The god of wind stared at the moth at his fingertips, his eyes full of love: "No matter what era, whether it is the age of fire, the age of wind, the age of water, or the age of earth in the present, they always exist—and always outlive the intelligent races of the current era. ”
"In the water, they are bugs chasing seaweed and plankton, in fire, they are moths chasing light and heat, in the earth, they are bees, cockroaches, flies, mosquitoes all over the earth—they are all tiny creatures you like or don't like."
"And when the Age of the Wind comes, my people will be able to reclaim their great bodies and wise souls in the abundant winds and oxygen...... And I will meet them again, not them. ”
Releasing the moth away, the god of wind smiled and watched as the moth was caught by a jumping spider popping out of the grass beside the labyrinth and dragged back to its nest - he didn't care about all this, his loving eyes were not just given to the small moth, but some kind of larger ensemble above the moth.
Turning his head, the God of Wind looked at Su Sun again, and he said calmly: "The People of the Wind will never be extinct, but wisdom depends on the gift of chance - there are some Earth Ages, or Water Ages, or the more unique Thunder Ages, they can have spiritual wisdom. The records left by the wind gods of the past generations make us rarely involved in the final struggle at the end of the era, and only the civilizations of the two eras of water and fire, which need the epoch environment the most, will fiercely fight and fight. ”
"Su Day, I don't have any worries about protecting my people, so whether it's the Age of Water or the Age of Earth, I will choose to be a bystander, disguised as the civilians of their era, and witness the final scenes of other eras, I have no interest in fighting, fighting, or anything else."
Su Yan listened carefully to every word that the Wind God said, he was extremely serious.
After the other party finished speaking, the dragon nodded slightly, and he said solemnly: "Insects are indeed one of the most adaptable creatures, but since the Wind People have such superior characteristics and have no quarrel with the world, then why is the Wind God renewed?" ”
"And how did the Wind People (insects) transform their huge bodies into such tiny forms in the first place? The insects and monsters in the labyrinth are a bit unbelievable. ”
Su Ri has a lot of questions.
And the reason why the God of the Wind came in person, in addition to his own purpose, was to answer Su Sun's doubts, and he replied calmly: "The gods are not immortal and immortal. Era reincarnation will cause great loss of soul, my words, I'm afraid the next era will dissipate, right? Pretty much damn about dying anyway. ”
When he said this, he didn't have the slightest fear of death, and Su Tian even vaguely heard a strange sense of 'anticipation': "As for how the Wind People changed their form...... Su Day, I know what you did in the city of Nether, your attempt to transform the people of the earth into your own category, and then adapt to the environment of the next era, this is similar to the original wind god. ”
It's mimetic!
Suddenly, Su Sun understood that the reason why the people of the wind could continue for multiple epochs was because they could adapt to the environment of the next generation epoch world through mimicry and each generation!
And the Wind God really doesn't need to protect any people, they just need to revive at the last moment, at the end of the era, and then transform some insects casually, so that the Wind People's legacy can continue.
This is indeed very similar to what Su Sun wants to do, but Su Sun wants to be more greedy, what he wants is to create a race that can guarantee wisdom and continue to the next reincarnation - and the requirements of the Wind God are much simpler.
What they want and want to continue is not thought and wisdom, but simply the bloodline of the population.
And all the knowledge and civilization inheritance are all in the hands of the gods, and the gods hold these alone, waiting for the age of the wind to come, and then the gods will re-sow civilization......
This may sound a bit odd, but for them, at least for the morality of the Wind People, it is probably not a big problem.
"Su Day, you are a strange existence, in any era of the past dynasties, I have never seen such a powerful life as you."
At this time, the God of Wind also asked directly, he looked at Su Sun's whole body, and let out a heartfelt admiration: "This is not your full form, is it?" It's a bit like the 'dragon' that once appeared in the Age of Water and the Age of Earth, but it's not exactly the same...... Are you an existence born in some strange era of the past, and now you have awakened from the underworld? ”
He also called the labyrinth the underworld, and Su Sun's guess in this regard seemed to be not wrong.
As for the question of the God of Wind, Su Sun replied directly: "No, I am from another world outside of your world, and for some reason, I came to your world. ”
"Oh."
This time, it was the turn of the Wind God to make an unremarkable sound—and Su Sun, who was waiting for the Wind God's amazement, suddenly felt a choke in his heart, causing Yara to laugh like 'Aha, you were choked in the same way'.
However, unlike the true face of the Wind God before, that scene, although indeed amazing, was of little value.
And what Su Yan is talking about now is related to another world - it is also a world information that is different from the unstable reincarnation world of Tartadis, maybe very stable!
The god of wind, isn't he really interested?
Su Sun truthfully asked his doubts, and just as Su Sun honestly answered his true feelings before, the God of Wind also replied honestly: "The existence of another world, in fact, we have long had guesses, but we have never had the strength to verify it. For example, the previous God of Fire absorbed the power of all the Fire People and wanted to fight against the End of the Era, and before he failed, he also planned to break the world and go to another world—which also failed. ”
"Then you're not interested?"
Su Yan really felt that the Wind God's idea was very strange, he frowned and said: "Since you didn't slaughter innocents, then in my eyes, you are a green person who can communicate amicably-although I can't let the people of this world go to my world so casually, after all, our world is not empty, but, you actually don't have the idea of trying to communicate at all?" ”
"Why do you have to go to another world?"
Regarding Su Sun's thoughts, the Wind God couldn't help but laugh and said, "Although I know very well, the existence of every world, when facing individuals in other worlds, will have a sense of superiority over their hometown. ”
"But isn't there a world where species are extinct and times are changing? Isn't there a world in which you live that the life of the overlord disappears, and then a new civilization appears? Don't say no, as far as I know, everything in the world is repeating reincarnation, without exception, and your physical body that has evolved to such a point just shows that your world is not peaceful, because a truly peaceful world cannot give birth to great civilization and wisdom. ”
Saying this, the gray-haired man shook his head: "Escape one reincarnation and go to another reincarnation?" This joke is really not funny. ”
Regarding the words of the God of Wind, Su Sun frowned and thought about it, and felt that he couldn't refute it for the first time—because it was true.
From the emergence of complex life 500 million years ago, from trilobites to sea scorpions, from ammonites and dun's fish, even dinosaurs and mammals, and many subsequent giant beasts, mythical beasts and demons...... If you really look at it from the perspective of reincarnation, it is true that even the earth is just a cycle that repeats the changes in the environment of the epoch, and the cycle of the prosperity and decline of biological populations.
But he also understands that there are more places to go in this place, for example, although there is indeed a change of species on the earth, it is much more gentle than this reincarnation world, not to mention the jellyfish, a creature that has flourished for 500 million years, the Chinese sturgeon, a creature that was more than 100 million years ago, and the ginkgo tree, which are at least millions of years old, but they still exist today.
What's more, there is no end time in that part of the earth, unless you count the Devonian mass extinction hundreds of millions of years ago and the meteorite that destroyed the dinosaurs, but that thing can only be said to be the exception, not the end of the era that must be encountered.
Even, because of the revival of the aura, those more ancient creatures are probably in the process of recovery, this kind of gentleness towards extinct species, what is the comparison between the reincarnation world and the earth world?
"No, wait......"
But thinking of this, Su Yan was stunned again.
- Is the recovery of the species brought about by the revival of Reiki similar to the appearance of creatures from the ancient previous eras in the labyrinth of the underworld?
It's not a little, it's so similar!
If it weren't for the fact that the current human civilization is particularly powerful, enough to suppress these recovered aura creatures and the sudden appearance of evil demons, today's human beings are probably also fighting bloody battles with these creatures that have returned from the 'underworld', right? It's like the end of the epoch, the resurrection of civilizations and gods between the ages and gods!
But on the side of the reincarnation world, the problem encountered by each *** is indeed that there is no strong enough civilization...... Their strongest person, the gods, is nothing more than the overlord earth immortals, not to mention the higher level of immortal immortals, and the heavenly venerable creators.
If they had, just like the former Tianzun could leave the earth world with the ancient earth immortal god civilization, those powerful worlds could also lead the lives of these reincarnation worlds to leave this world...... Or leading a group of remnants to survive through the epoch and survive to the next epoch, this is a very likely thing.
"—The earth and the reincarnation world, from this point of view, are so similar......" Su Sun couldn't help muttering to himself in his heart, and then shook his head decisively.
No, it's not so much that the earth world is similar to the reincarnation world, but that the reincarnation world is a simplified, simpler earth world.
Moreover, not only the earth world, but also the reincarnation world reflects the vast majority of the worlds of the heavens and all worlds, and in a way, it is the epitome of reincarnation!
As for the reason why the Wind God is not interested in the other world, he can be considered to understand, after all, the continuation of the Wind People seems to have lasted for a long time, and it is very stable.
In this way, since other worlds also have reincarnation, why go to a world that you don't understand, instead of staying in this reincarnation world that has been proven in practice and can exist for a long time?
"You understand, right?"
After seeing Su Sun's undisguised expression of sudden realization, the God of Wind also showed a somewhat vicissitudes of life, and said in a low voice: "What's more, I actually didn't expect the second Wind Era to appear again." ”
And this answer really shocked Su Sun, making Dalong lower his head, and the dragon's eyes stared at each other tightly, completely forgetting his previous intention of maintaining calm.
Don't want a second Age of Wind?
- The god of water did not hesitate to slaughter the city, and he had to grab it in a bloody battle with Su Sun, and the opportunity to compete for the second era, the attitude of the god of wind was actually to resist?
And under Su Sun's gaze, the god of wind raised his head.
He gazed at the gray sky, the endless gray mist, and the sun, which had dimmed to the point of almost no light, and stated in a faint tone:
"Flame, which originally created the wind."
"The fire burned, and the endless wind was born out of the fire, holding up the continent formed by the condensation of the ashes of the flames."
"This is the name of the Age of the Wind, the 'Sky Island Generation'."
"On the empty island, huge insects multiply and give birth to a prosperous civilization, flying insects come and go to various empty islands, and land insects build magnificent cities underground, which is a glorious civilization forged by my proud people."
"But in the end, at the end of the epoch, the flames were extinguished, the wind disappeared, and a huge torrential rain began to pour down, and the sky island world that the wind held up fell with the endless torrential rain."
In this way, he said softly in a light tone, the God of Wind and Su Sun looked at each other, and even the gaze of the mimic carapace was filled with endless pain and fear at this time: "It was the 'Falling Era' that was endless, hundreds of years, falling towards the endless abyss. ”
"All the people of the wind, whether kings or beggars, know that death is coming, but the time of the end is so long—just as the people of the same land, after a thousand years of great pain and long patience, all have lost their fighting spirit and become the survivors who know how to survive in their shelters and wait for death."
"My people, in the fear of this long fall, finally chose to give up their pride as intelligent beings and members of civilization, and chose to follow the secret methods left by the wind gods of previous generations, and only want to turn into tiny reptiles and live in this cycle."
The cynical, even childlike, not very serious wind god, the sound made at this time was like the noise scraping between the carapaces, and the pain contained in it could be felt by even children who did not understand the language.
Su Sun listened silently, and the huge dragon crouched in front of the wind god who personified into a human, listening to the pain of the other party.
- Faced with the fear of the end of reincarnation, the people chose the death of civilization and turned into wild beasts.
But the gods, in their immortal nature, have been given the mission to awaken with the cycle of reincarnation, and they will be resurrected in the next era, gaining the possibility of communicating with other era civilizations, or competing for the next era of life.
But even so, the reappearance of the Age of the Wind and the Sky Island Generation also means that there will be a second era of fall in the end—the second time watching civilization choose death, abandon civilization and wisdom, and turn into a reptile, endless humiliation.
So, in the end, the god of wind just muttered, "If reincarnation means the reappearance of yesterday, then I would rather not have such an era of reincarnation." ”
"So, Wind God, what are you going to do?"
At this time, Su Yan was genuinely puzzled, even with the blessing of the Wisdom Fruit, he didn't know why the God of Wind came to see him - the God of Wind did not need to protect his people, nor did he desire the arrival of the next Age of Wind...... So what exactly does He want to do?
How so? The god of water and the god of wind are two extremes, the god of water wants a lot of things, he needs the environment of the next era, he wants to protect his people, and he wants to continue the civilization of the people of water.
And the god of the wind, it is enough for the people of the wind, that is, the insects, to exist.
These are two completely different gods, the former is destined to intersect with Su Sun, and the latter, at least Su Sun can't find a reason why the other party must meet him - in a world where reincarnation is the biggest dispute, he actually doesn't want reincarnation to reappear, this is simply an outsider.
"It's very simple, I originally thought that you were just like me, and you just need to make sure that you live and continue to the next era."
And the god of wind humanoid shrugged his shoulders: "So I want to come over and discuss with you, can you give me the opportunity to choose the next era?" ”
"Why?"
Su Sun subconsciously raised his voice, as if a dragon roared: "Didn't you just say it before, don't you want to continue reincarnation?" ”
Saying this, between his breaths, he had already begun to bring up fragments of scorching heat, wind and lightning, Su Sun's gaze condensed on the body of the God of Wind, and his eyes became cold: "God of Wind, if you think that I look good at talking and can fool around at will, then you are wrong!" If I'm in a bad mood, I'll make the guy who makes me in a bad mood no longer be in the mood! ”
"How can I think that a powerful being who would run to fight the water god to the death for the sake of ordinary people of the earth can be fooled at will?"
The God of Wind opened his arms to Su Sun, restrained his aura fluctuations, and showed that he was indeed not the slightest hostile, and he said with an almost wry smile: "As for why I seem to be going back on my word...... It is because only God's long life can witness the despair of the Fallen Age. ”
"In the hundreds of years since the fall of Sky Island, how many generations have the Wind People (insects) been replaced? Even if it was the final demise, the people of the wind at that time could not perceive anything, and only the gods, the gods who would recover, would feel that such reincarnation was meaningless. ”
"For individuals who live in reincarnation, and are not even aware of the existence of reincarnation, the epoch is meaningful, and my people, no doubt, are eager for the next epoch of wind, so that they will not mind the horror and despair at the end of the epoch, and the humiliation of abandoning civilization."
"And I, after all, am God."
The god of the wind smiled, but his tone was as if he was sighing, "God, it is a wish." I am the Arashikaze of Heaven who responds to the wishes of my people, and I am the god of the gift of hope, and since my people want the next era, even if it is the same reincarnation as yesterday, I will fight for them. ”
