Lord Yunzhong in Douluo

Chapter 182 The Significance of Time to Soul Beasts
"Oh, so there is another reason."

Hearing Shiratori's answer, Fan Yun couldn't help feeling that although he read a lot of miscellaneous books and learned a lot, the world is often much richer than books.If Shiratori didn't follow him to understand the difficulties faced by 10-year-level soul beasts, it might be difficult for him to consider these with his current vision.

"Sure enough, I should ask you more questions. For example, why should a soul beast turn into a human being? I thought about it for a long time before, but I didn't understand it. Why should a good soul beast become a short-lived person?"

Caressing the back of the big cat, Fan Yun lay on the white bird, looking at the white snow outside the cave.

"Qiao~(Hehe, a life's views are always limited by its own vision, so it needs to communicate with other beings. And for the problem of soul beasts changing into humans, there are actually other possibilities besides self-protection. )”

"Ok?"

Fan Yun paused when he licked the cat, he was very curious about what Shiratori would have an opinion on.

"Qiao~(Although it is said that the life of a soul beast is a life of struggle, fighting against humans, other predators, and prey, it is precarious. Only a small number of soul beasts can reach a state that is safe enough to protect themselves. But once the soul beast can Live a stable life, you will not worry about tomorrow, and when you are free, you will start thinking about your animal life.)”

"Qiao~(Because of the long lifespan, time is nothing in the eyes of grown-up soul beasts. Because we have lived for a long time, and we don't have human calendars, the concept of time is actually very vague in our eyes .and living the same way for years will make some guys get tired and start wondering what the hell are they living for?)”

"So you also think about the meaning of life?"

The eyes were full of thoughts, Shiratori seemed to be addicted to her own memories for a moment, but soon, she recovered.

"Qiao~(Of course, when a life is no longer struggling to survive, he will start to think about the meaning of life. Some guys are tired of the same scenery and life for thousands of years, and want to change their lives. And the prosperity and millennium changes of human society, we can also detect a little through the changes in the clothes of the intruders and the objects they carry.)”

"Qiao~(Slowly, we will start to be curious about where and what kind of life the human beings who have been fighting with us all their lives live in?)"

"So some guys want to become humans to experience human life?" Fan Yun asked.

Shiratori nodded when he heard Fan Yun's question, and then said: "Qiao~(Not all soul beasts can hide on the high-altitude clouds like me to observe human society from a distance, for most soul beasts , if they want to see what human life is like, becoming a human is their only way.)”

"Even if the price is that they will only live for a hundred years?"

Touching Fan Yun's head, Shiratori's words were a little earnest: "Qiao~(You can't understand what time means to us. A long, unchanging, meaningless life is nothing to high-level soul beasts like us. One is a prison that binds the self, and the search for the meaning of life and a little expectation for tomorrow are the jailers in the prison that prevent us from committing suicide.

If you can realize the meaning of living, even if there are only 100 years left, it is worthwhile, although most of us don't know how long 100 years are, after all, no one will take the time to record how many years they have passed. )”

"Is that so?" Hearing Bai Niao's words, Fan Yun's heart became complicated.

As an ordinary human being, his lifespan should only be a hundred years.Although the old man told him that life, old age, sickness and death are normal in the world since he was a child, and he gradually learned to look down on these things after the old man passed away, but if possible, he still hopes that he can live a little longer and take a good look at the world.

Sometimes even some strange delusions appeared in Fan Yun's mind, what would it be like if he could live forever.

What Shiratori said now made Fan Yun start to reflect. Is it really a good thing to have such a long life?And once he started to think, Fan Yun's thoughts would drift all the way like stepping on a banana peel on a slide.

Thinking of the family, friends, students, and leaders around him now, Fan Yun really couldn't imagine his life after sending them away one by one.

How long does it take to heal the pain of losing someone?
Some silently thought of the old man who had been away for many years, Fan Yun couldn't think of the answer.

But then, Fan Yun thought of his family with the big cat Shiratori, and new worries arose.

Subconsciously hugging the big cat in his arms, Fan Yun couldn't help frowning.

"Meow?"

Feeling the restraint on his body, the big cat opened his eyes, and his black glazed eyes looked suspiciously at Fan Yun, who had a somewhat disturbed face.

"Clang~(What's the matter with you?)"

Shiratori also seemed to sense something was wrong with Fan Yun lying on his body, and asked.

My life is only a short hundred years, and the rest of the big cat and the white bird are still very long. After I leave in the future, how will the big cat and the white bird spend the rest of their lives after losing themselves?

Time is meaningless to them, and a life without meaning is just a cage for them, so can they live well after they leave?
Maybe Shiratori is fine. After all, her experience is there. After thousands of years, she may not be so sad after seeing parting, and she can live well in the future, but what about Big Cat?
Fan Yun knew that ever since he got to know himself, the center of Big Cat's life has become him, Fan Yun, so what should Big Cat do if the center of life is lost in the future?Can you live well?

Maybe he was worrying unfoundedly, but the worry in Fan Yun's mind at this moment was very heavy.

Relaxing the arms that hugged the big cat, Fan Yun stroked the big cat's head, watching her worried about her eyes, buried her worry in her heart, and changed the subject:
"I'm fine. By the way, Shiratori. Speaking of which, before meeting me and the big cat, did you find the meaning of your life? What is it? I'm curious."

The eyes looked at Fan Yun with other meanings, but Shirao didn't intend to investigate Fan Yun's abnormality just now in front of the big cat, and said:

"Qiao~(Hehe, I haven't been troubled by this problem much. I don't know what other soul beasts think, but as far as I am concerned, life itself has meaning, and being alive is the greatest miracle.

Watching the sun rise and set every day, watching the flowers bloom and wither in the forest every season, watching the vegetation flourish and decline every year, watching the birth of new life and mourning the passing of old life, these are very meaningful things in themselves. )”

"Qiao~(So to be alive, to feel the subtle changes in life and the daily changes around me, is meaningful enough for me.)"
