Original God: Traveling to Teyvat but it’s a strange world
Chapter 240 If the ending is certain to be death, will you continue?
Zou Rui raised his head and looked at Phanes. He stretched out his little hand to take the candy, but did not eat it.
After Zou Rui took the candy, Phanes lay back on the recliner.
"Child, is it because of your identity?"
Phanes said,
Zou Rui did not refute or hide his thoughts, but nodded with a gloomy expression.
"Hahaha... your door was not closed just now. I heard everything you said. I also heard what Fu Xuan said. He said that I was unwilling to give up this power, so I had to be judged, right?"
Phanes looked at Zou Rui and said,
Zou Rui nodded, then looked at Phanes, opened his mouth, and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Phanes.
"My child, the power I possess is enough to easily destroy a planet. After they issued a warrant for my arrest, I could have dragged many creatures on the planet down with me before I died. But I didn't do that. Do you know why?"
Phanes asked,
Zou Rui shook his head.
Phanes explained,
"Because I don't want my fate to be controlled by others. You can say that I am a lunatic who doesn't care about others because I crave power, but... aren't you afraid of death? I am afraid. I don't have much time left, and I can only rely on this power to maintain my life. No one is not afraid of death, and God is no exception. But some people can sacrifice their lives for something, but I have lost everything. I don't want to lose my life again. I just want to live here peacefully, with the beasts as companions. In the end, only one person will be left to accompany my crazy side, and finally it will disappear. Time will wear away everything. I have been alone for tens of thousands of years. Few people come to my place to chat with me, an old man. First of all, most creatures can't come here. Nine out of ten who come here are to capture me. As for the remaining one, that is to kill me."
"So I need this power to keep me alive. Even if it's a lonely way of survival, I don't care. I admit that I am a selfish, dirty, and sometimes even mentally twisted crazy old man. I only have one thought now, which is to live until I forget my own name, my own body, and myself..."
Phanes said, with a look of sadness on his face at the end.
Fear of death is a reaction that every living thing has, but some people will sacrifice their lives to protect others. However, if that person no longer cares about anything worth protecting, then most of these people will only want to survive.
Zou Rui looked at this scene, not knowing what to say.
After a while, Phanes said to Zou Rui,
"Kid, say what you wanted to tell me just now."
Zou Rui looked at Phanes and met his cloudy eyes. The look in Phanes' cloudy eyes showed that he had no other thoughts except the desire to survive.
"Grandpa... Let me ask you, if you already know that your end is death, and there is no other way to survive, and the only way to survive is to do evil, will you choose to continue?"
Zou Rui's tone was very helpless and sad.
After hearing this, Phanes thought for a while and said,
"Child, are you afraid of death?"
Phanes' tone was very calm.
Zou Rui nodded.
"I'm afraid of not being able to see them...I don't want to be alone...I...I'm afraid of being alone..."
Zou Rui's voice became smaller and smaller as he spoke.
But Phanes naturally heard everything and smiled.
"Child, it's normal to be afraid of death. I have many regrets, and I want to fulfill them. I don't want to have any regrets before I die. No one is not afraid of death. After knowing the time and reason of death, more people will go to extremes because of fear. They may even destroy the world in order to survive. But you don't. Neither he nor you have that choice.
With his power, it was very simple to become the head of the strange gods. At that time, he only needed to unite all the strange gods, and he could even be on an equal footing with the Administration, but he didn't. I think he should have known his own ending at that time, but do you think he gave up? Did he choose to degenerate into that? He didn't, because he knew that before death, he could still control himself. He could meet more people, enjoy more beauty in this world, eat more delicious food, see more scenery, and do more meaningful things. This is what we can do. Before I died, I had solved all the regrets and thoughts in the world. When we reach the final destination, we will no longer look back, nor will we have any reluctance, because we have experienced what others have experienced. Why can't we meet friends again in the next life? If you degenerate because you know you are going to die, it is cowardice. So, child, do you know why we all know that our final result is either death of old age or death from other unforeseen events, but we are still willing to work hard to live and create a better future? "
Phanes said this and looked at Zou Rui, and then asked,
"It's... because you don't want to leave any regrets, you don't want to die with regrets, right?"
Zou Rui raised his head, looked at Phanes, and said,
Phanes nodded.
"No matter what, the journey will have an end. Would you like to keep walking aimlessly?"
Zou Rui shook his head. Phanes smiled and said,
"In that case, child, now you know why each of us already knows our own ending, but still wants to live?"
Zou Rui nodded.
"It is to leave without regrets and pain. Although fear of death is everyone's instinct, before death, we can add more color and embellishment to this journey so that we are no longer alone..."
Phanes nodded.
"In that case, go back and talk to her, and tell her that I will go with her in a while and end... this regrettable journey..."
