Plural Apostles

What is the spiritual world like?Standing in a pure white world, Siegfried and others didn't feel any special. Their appearance was no different from before, and their own feelings were no different from before.

"I thought I would experience a more special feeling."

The Lord God taunted: "It's just that you are not good at the spiritual aspect. The equipment helps you get out of the body. Naturally, it creates the spiritual form that you are used to and is familiar with... and the spiritual form is the same, but there is a tangible difference with the physical form. It’s just an invisible difference.”

In this pure white world, a middle-aged man wearing very light and neat clothes looked at Siegfried and the others and said, "Welcome five guests from a higher civilization. In a state of mental exhaustion, I am currently sleeping, so I will receive you, my name is Zero."

"This is the country of souls?" Kiyana looked around, feeling very disappointed, thinking how magical it would be, but there was nothing.

"No, this is the gate, and I will lead you into the kingdom of souls later..."

"Wait!" Siegfried suddenly became serious, and said slowly with a flag-like tone in horror movies, "I don't know if you have discovered a problem..."

"Ah? What's the problem?" Leiden Mei asked a little strangely, and then she felt even more strange, why did the surrounding suddenly become dark, and... there was a cold wind?

"Me, Bronya, Mei, Kiyana... There are four people in total, where did the fifth one come from?"

Leiden Mei swallowed her saliva, and subconsciously approached Siegfried. The surrounding environment became more and more strange. The darkness was eerie, as if there were countless ghosts and monsters lurking. Except for her and Siegfried, the other four seemed to have nothing at all. Spotting this change...

Ugh?four people?Leiden Mei subconsciously looked at the person who was not zero, not Bronya, not Kiyana.

The other party noticed her gaze and turned her head to give her a slight nod. Then she seemed to notice something. She frowned and opened her mouth and said, "Break."

In a trance, Raiden Mei returned to the pure white world, she cast a thankful look at Baili Yaomeng with some embarrassment, and then glared at Siegfried angrily.

"Puhaha... Mei, you can't blame me." Siegfried said with a smile, "I feel that the mind is easy to control in this situation, so I just wanted to try it. I didn't expect it to really make you hallucinate. Mental ability It’s really similar to hypnotism.”

"It's just that she didn't guard against you." Baili Yaomeng looked at the surrounding spiritual world, her eyes seemed to see farther than Siegfried and the others, and she knew more, "A very good place..."

Chapter 440 Even if there is no desire, there is still contention

"Oh? When did you come?" Kiyana looked at Baili Youmeng belatedly, "Did Ai-chan ask you to come here with that device?"

"Spiritual consciousness is out of the body, and the mind is too empty." Baili Yaomeng said calmly, "Building the foundation can condense the spiritual consciousness, and the golden core will start to transform into the spiritual sense... Don't you understand?"

Qiyana shook her head blankly: "What are you talking about? I can hear every word clearly, but I can't understand it together."

"She can't understand you when you talk about the power of the collapse, don't get entangled, and get down to business first." Siegfried gave Kiyana a brain collapse, and then looked at Zero, "Next, please lead us Go in... You should know why we are here, right? After all, it is more convenient for me to start your work after being involved in the previous incident."

"I know this, but I still want to tell you some things...Guests from advanced civilizations, please follow me. If you are interested, you may wish to listen to some of my nagging."

Ling smiled, the pure white world changed in an instant, turned into a simple room, everyone stood in the empty living room, the bright sunshine cast from the window, through the window, the outside was faintly It is a vast green plain, as if the sunlight falling into the house has become fresh.

Although I know that these are not real on the material level, they are too real.

"Guests, please sit down." Ling raised his hand to signal, a table and a few chairs appeared in the living room, and some tea and snacks with local characteristics appeared on the table.

Everyone sat down, and Siegfried took a sip of the cola-colored drink, which tasted pretty good, with a flower-like fragrance in the coolness: "You guys are indeed capable, if I don't deliberately mobilize my perception, I won't be able to see through these things. False mental illusion."

"What is true and what is false? In the era of ruins, this issue has always been a point of contention between us." Holding a cup, Zero said slowly, "We are not without research on the material world. Molecules, atoms, electrons …even smaller particles, whether it is people, food, hormones or something else, all matter can be split into something extremely, of course this is our research on matter.”

"The spiritual world is different, it has no volume, no weight... If we are still a race with a material body, then the material is real to us, and the spirit is illusory to us, so what if we are a spiritual form?" Ling Xiao He smiled and took a sip of the drink, "This thing is called 'Flower Soul'. It is a drink made from a plant that is difficult to cultivate and has strict requirements on the external environment. It tastes very good."

"If it was in the past, after all, only a small number of people could enjoy it, because there were so many, but now, as long as you are willing to think about it, the kingdom of souls can provide people with endless flower souls, whether it is sight, smell or taste, all Everything makes people feel like drinking the real flower soul, and for us, this thing is real."

Kiyana smacked her lips: "It's delicious."

Ignoring the white-haired dumpling who didn't understand anything, Siegfried coughed: "You mean...don't accept our help?"

"...That's not the case." Ling shook his head, and said quietly, "Many people have actually discussed where our future should go. From my personal point of view, I think the current situation is half good and half bad, and you guys It also didn’t say how to help us, so I won’t jump to conclusions.”

"But there are some things I still want to say. Maybe these things are trivial in the eyes of higher civilizations, maybe they are the inevitable development of history, maybe they are actions that are not worth mentioning by children, but for us, these things It's history that will never be forgotten..."

"I think you have misunderstood the empire...but it doesn't matter much." Siegfried took a sip of Flower Soul, "We are all ears, please tell me."

"I don't know about other civilizations, but as far as we humans are concerned... Desire is a kind of motivation. It can be good or bad. It can create everything or destroy everything. To put it bluntly, it is pursuit, and as a group, individual pursuit There will always be differences and even confrontations with each other, and your Excellency must already know the history of our human development so far."

Zero sighed softly: "We used to spread our footprints all over this planet, and we used to be prosperous and strong... Maybe it's nothing compared to advanced civilizations, but we are deeply proud of it... Excuse me, Will the civilizations that thrive on their parent star look to the starry sky?"

"One universe is too big, and the multiple worlds are even bigger...or it can't be described as big, but it can only be described as there is always a road ahead." Siegfried said seriously, "At least from the perspective of the empire, we Support and encourage all orderly and friendly civilizations to set foot in the stars."

"An ancient person once said that the starry sky is too ethereal, so it's better to manage your own home well... But those are all things in the past." Ling shook his head and said quite seriously, "From the age of violence to the age of ruins, it has been proved that We couldn't control our desires before, especially under the pressure of the external environment. People's hearts are too easy to fall to the violent side. The history left over from the ruined era has been unable to verify which violent organization broke the order. From which position is it that human beings have torn off the decoration of civilization that covers barbarism... Everyone is blaming everyone for causing all this, the population is inexhaustible, and the environment has become extremely harsh in the human war..."

"The era of ruins kicked off at that time. In order to survive, human beings returned to the most primitive form, and gradually restored the material and human needs to normal levels through internal fighting. We have never criticized those people in the era of ruins. It seems to be a manifestation of extreme evil, because born in the era, the individual can only adapt to..."

"Because those who don't comply have died long ago, or are on their way to death." Baili Yaomeng interjected a little frustrated, and then shook his head slightly in response, "Please continue talking."

"You are right. In the age of ruins, strength and wisdom are used to keep yourself alive and to live better. We generally call them violence and conspiracy." Zero smiled and sighed, "The ruins Humanity has survived the era, and at the same time, under the leadership of that person, it has embarked on a path completely different from history."

"By the way, I'm quite curious about the name of the person who put forward 'abandoning the body to give up material needs, and giving up material needs to give up corresponding desires'?" Siegfried asked, "When I heard more about this before, He didn't mention the name."

Zero was silent for a while, with a subtle expression on his face: "...no name."

"No name?" Raiden Mei was a little curious, "Is it because the age is too long, so there is no name record? But it is unlikely, for this kind of great man who can be said to have opened the era, how could he leave a name? Maybe there will be a nickname for it.”

"Because it was the era of ruins, and he was the one who ended the era of ruins in a sense, so the means used in it were not glorious. The era of ruins is like this. If you don't do something, you will definitely die."

"He used a lot of methods that we now consider to be heinous, such as kidnapping, assassination, death, power rule, and massacre of civilians. His power and majesty were forged by blood and fear. He is the bloodiest executioner, so he Only then can he end the era of ruins with his own hands, and at the same time he also ended himself..." Zero said in a plain tone, "When his rule reached its peak, according to normal development, it should have established a new order, established a new country, and became another founder of the country. When he was the emperor, he killed this future with his own hands."

"'I am not a great man, I am not a good man, I have blood on my hands, and there are many innocents, and yet nothing can be done otherwise, and now mankind is on the right track again, and all things flourish, and violence and chaos shall be past—with After my death, I am not proud of ending this bloody and cruel era. I should not leave my name to be remembered. After my death, either human beings will go into chaos again until they destroy themselves, or human beings will follow that path. I hope it's the latter'."

"...According to historical records, this is almost what it means. He put forward the idea that people will not go the old way if they abandon their desires. At the same time, he created the last massacre, killing all the heroes who followed him to sum up the era of ruins. , At the same time, he committed suicide by drinking bombs along with the dead men he had cultivated. He had no wife, offspring, or relatives. According to our speculation, he should have foreseen what would happen if things came true at the beginning. In order to avoid future troubles, he controlled To fulfill one's own desires, to prevent oneself from being tied down by blood and family affection."

"In the end, he failed to leave a name, and we only know that that person existed, and referred to him by various names. After his death, the turbulent human beings stabilized after only a small turmoil. Because if there is another chaos, human beings may really perish, but enough chaos, even if there is a basis for chaos, everyone does not want to be chaotic again. During that past period, human beings passed quickly in a wonderful social form It's the spiritual age——thanks to that person's power, human beings study the spirit and soul."

In Baili Yaomeng's sleeve, the fingers of one hand moved slightly...Is that so.

"We entered the spiritual age 500 years ago. I was a member of that time, and I personally participated in the research of the kingdom of souls and the experiment of spiritual separation... To be precise, I caught up with the tail of the era of ruins and saw The last turmoil also saw the era opened by that person." Ling Shen said, "Several guests, I welcome your arrival, but I also want to know...whether what you brought will bring us back The previous era of violence."
