The Dragon That Devours the World

Chapter 85 "Humanity"

(I actually remembered the definition of the kingdom of necessity and the kingdom of freedom...no wonder it felt weird yesterday. Fortunately, the name was reversed and changed.)

In this new world, everything is forcibly reshaped and embedded in it according to its own rules.

The sun that was originally high in the sky turned into a fireball with a diameter of 1.39 million kilometers. The moon that was originally accompanied by the sun became a companion star with a diameter of 3,400 kilometers. The big snake became the earth, and Mona the snake girl was missing. Gods and demons have become illusory legends, and everything has been disrupted and reorganized. This is the new world.

However, the erect eyes that opened above the heart looked directly at the sky, the only thing that had not changed, the last relic of the old world...

Crystal sky.

The original motive force of the universe, the heaven of the heaven above the seven heavens, and the dwelling place of the gods, are the only things that maintain their original appearance.

This universe, which is more than ten trillion light-years in size, is too vast and too complete, and even gods are no longer needed. Naturally, there is no need for any cosmic motive force, but this dwelling place has become the only thing that can be preserved under the influence of the power of the serpent. , Drifting in the gap between time and space.

Within that crystal sky, the gods have been asleep forever, and the serpent is asleep. Without the chess player, the black and white chessboard is still silently recording everything.

There are already countless chess pieces on it, knights, chariots, bishops, soldiers... every exciting epic is a change of chess pieces, and every smash is the rise and fall of the country, and the two colors of black and white are formed between the fights. A long scroll of the entire human history.

At this moment, the black chess piece has gradually gained the upper hand. However, the old world has disappeared. The omniscient and almighty has never been to this new world. Without the gambling agreement, the outcome of the chessboard is meaningless. The remaining crystal sky is just the operation of the system. The discarded information at that time is just a useless phantom.

However, on the chessboard that should have been abandoned, something inexplicable is surging and brewing at this moment...

Among the erect pupils, it became more and more cold.

...

"You just mentioned freedom and God, so in your eyes, what is freedom and what is God?"

There seemed to be a soft female voice whispering in his mind, causing Engels to ask Marx involuntarily.

Before he knew it, he had stood up, his mind was clearly dizzy, but the words in his mouth were extremely clear, as if there was a will to dominate its body and speak through his mouth.

"Freedom? God? Really interesting question."

Hearing that, Marx looked at his good friend in surprise. He didn't notice the strangeness of his friend, he just said with a smile.

In Europe at this moment, all issues derived from human rights are being discussed intensively. Theocratic, monarchical, human rights, law, freedom, and morality. Ancient ideas cannot explain the current world. Various complex concepts are under this era. Have been reinterpreted.

While tasting the beer in his mouth, he pondered for a moment, and slowly said his thoughts.

"In my opinion...freedom is a state of self-domination."

The German in his thirties did not realize that behind Engels was an ancient phantom listening quietly.

The ancient phantom gave birth to the first human ancestor. She had no regrets before she was alive, but there was a kind of confusion lingering in her heart. She is a creature created by God, who enjoys eternal life and eternal happiness, but has given up everything God has given.

Inspired by the devil during his lifetime, but arguing with the devil, struggling to pursue his own confusion, until he passed away, he still couldn't get the answer, and could only wander in the blood of his descendants with unforeseen regrets, waiting for some unknown time. answer.

But now, the obsession that has puzzled the ancient Phantom for so many years seems to be answered soon...

"As I said, in the realm of necessity, primitive animals are unrestrained, seemingly free but unable to dominate their own destiny. They rise and fall in compliance with the laws of nature. This kind of freedom is false, because it has never been truly free. Although there is no restriction, it is always bound by various constraints. How can this be said to be freedom?"

Marx shook his head.

"Engels, you mentioned God, so let’s take the story in the Bible as an example. Human beings live in the Garden of Eden, living happily ignorantly and ignorantly, but what is it? The reason why human beings live happily is just Because of the will of God? This kind of happiness is nothing but the happiness dominated by God. The happiness dominated by God cannot be said to be not happiness, but slaves can also feel happy.

"Only after mankind gave up the Garden of Eden, until then, can mankind be said to be free, because mankind finally begins to truly control his own destiny, and dominate his own destiny with his own will, instead of relying on God's charity and mercy."

"In my opinion, Engels, freedom is not only physical freedom, but also spiritual freedom. Freedom is not what you can do, but what you are not forced to do."

The calm words made the ancient phantom listen intently.

"As for God... you know, I'm an atheist."

After pondering for a while, Marx shook his head.

Obviously, Marx didn't want to discuss the topic of God very much, or he didn't think there was much to discuss.

"But, what if God really exists in this world?"

However, Engels asked stubbornly.

Marx wanted to refute what Engels said, saying that there is no **** in this world, but looking at the eyes of'Engels', those eyes that seemed to be filled with strange magic power made him swallow what he had said before, and he could not help but subconsciously accept it. After reading Engels’ remarks, he turned to think about it.

What if God really exists?

But this confusion did not last long, the bearded German still shook his head.

"Even if God really exists, then I am still an'atheist'."

"why?"

‘Engels’ continued to ask.

Marx did not answer directly, instead he took out his pipe without hurries, sat on the log stool, and after lighting it, he took a deep breath and exhaled it. The circular smoke ring slowly floated in the air. After dispersing, Marx looked in front of him, and said to a friend who was just separated by a table.

"Why? Engels, what do you think ‘God’ is?"

Marx looked at Engels and couldn't help but smile.

"Engels, from ancient times to the present, humans have always worshiped things like'gods', but in ancient times,'gods' really existed."

"Ancient humans worshiped wild boars in the mountains and forests, crocodiles in the swamps, lions on the plains, rhinos, tigers, cheetahs, bisons and even antelopes. Humans awed the power and speed of these powerful beasts and regarded them as gods. For this reason He did not hesitate to sacrifice the food obtained by his hard hunting, and even voluntarily sacrificed these beasts with human lives."

"These primitive and wild creatures are the oldest worship and the oldest primitive gods."

"But in the end, these ancient'gods' were abandoned by mankind. Could it be that they have changed? No, mankind has become more intelligent and rational. Mankind has begun to realize that these'gods' are just ordinary animals. Only, the'gods' have become animals. The humans who abandoned these'primitive gods' turned to worship the sky, the earth, the ocean, and the mountains. This kind of worship even persists in many places now.

"Engels, worship and belief originate from one's own weakness, from the fear formed by one's own weakness, from the desire for strong power. Ancient humans worshiped beasts, ancient humans worshiped mountains, rivers, sun, moon and stars, and now humans Then he worships the illusory'all-knowing and all-powerful God'..."

As he said, Marx couldn't help shaking his head, he knocked the ashes in the pipe, and then continued.

"For example, if one day it is suddenly discovered that the earth is actually a giant snake entrenched... Then how would we treat this snake that was once worshipped by countless humans and regarded as'Gaia' and'God of the Earth'" ?"

For some reason, an absurd idea suddenly struck Marx's mind, but he naturally narrated that idea as an example.

He raised his head, looked at the thoughtful friend in front of him and said.

"The answer is... it is a monster, an unprecedented huge beast, nothing more. No matter how powerful this beast is, humans will no longer worship it like ancient humans, because humans already possess reason and wisdom. One day the real appearance of God, in the eyes of mankind, is just a very powerful life."

"So, if you ask what would happen if'God' really existed? Then my answer is still that I am an atheist, because..."

With that said, Marx tapped his heart with his finger. The action was not big, but it was enough to attract Engels' attention.

He smiled at the corner of his mouth and said softly.

"In my heart,'God' is dead."

That calm voice, but a loud noise...

Before she knew it, the ancient phantom had disappeared, because the confusion in her heart had been solved.

...

"Engels, I said, I once thought that if the absolute spirit is a logical force of the universe, then what is the absolute spirit of mankind?"

"If we regard humanity as a whole, then we can easily discover that human beings have stumbled all the way from the age of ignorance, but eventually developed to the present, human beings have been trying hard to transform the world. Human beings are always constantly changing. We have been trying to dominate our own destiny..."

The erect pupil didn't care about the sound in the ear, even though it could hear the conversation of all humans on this planet, because it was watching what was on the chessboard at the moment.

The black and white chess pieces are fighting together. While fighting, the chess pieces of these gods and demons are slowly entangled in the sky above the chessboard like clouds and mist. The countless heroes and history have condensed into an inexplicable atmosphere. the power of……

It is an unprecedented behemoth. It crawls on the ground, uses farmland to separate the boundaries between civilization and wildness, uses dotted towns as its body, the king and the wise are its brain, and the vigorous army is its fangs. The workers who work hard in the factory are its hands and feet, and the endless caravans have become its blood...

Its consciousness has not yet been unified ~www.readwn.com~In the chaotic thoughts, there are still more than hundreds of kingdoms fighting fiercely, the wrestling between continents and oceans is still continuing, but the eyes that have been ignorant for countless years are no longer there. Open it, looking around the world it is in, it is no longer ignorant and ignorant.

Looks like a man instead of a person, looks like a beast instead of a beast, greedily drawing the power of the earth, trying to grow up.

And as if he had noticed the gaze with erected pupils, the behemoth that was still confused and disorderly and did not even form a complete form seemed to glance at it unconsciously. Different from his own immaturity, there is no fear and jealousy in his eyes, only the calm and deepness of a wise man.

Although the many beings that make up itself have not yet realized the existence of the erected pupil, there are still very few beings aware of the existence of the “sculpture”.

"Do you think it will always be yours..."

The short-term contact of eyes is better than ordinary people's words.

The pupils erected like a snake stared at the "monster" brewing on the chessboard, only indifferent. After a long time, only weird ridicule sounded in the folk house, mocking the cub who was not full of minions, but dared to roar and threaten the beast.
