Chapter 10 10 God of Creation

Surrounded by leaf shadows, the breeze blows gently. "What's Echo's favorite thing to play with?" His Majesty the Demon King asked abruptly. "Like to play?" Echo tilted his head, thought for a while, and said, "I like Children's Paradise." After speaking, her face was flushed again. She called herself a fool a thousand times in her heart!Blame yourself for giving childish answers every time?Why don't you think about it first, and then spit out what you want to say?Why didn't she answer: I don't like playing, I like reading books... and so on, which sound more temperamental?

His Majesty the Demon King smiled, and his smile quickly plundered all of Echo's thoughts, and he even forgot what he had just said childishly. "Children's Paradise—sounds like the story I'm about to tell." "Huh?" Echo was puzzled and waited. His Majesty the Demon King's voice unfolded like a dream.He said: "I don't know how long ago, there was a mother named God of Creation who built a huge amusement park skeleton in her garden. Although the things in it were only half completed, they were rich in content, including the world of elves. , Tomorrowland, World of Mythology, World of Dragons, etc., all the rich and interesting kingdoms you can think of can be found in the amusement park. They are divided into districts, but they are all included in the amusement park. Inside.

"However, one day, the mother of the God of Creation had to leave. She was worried that the amusement park would be abandoned and ruined. She thought about it in the twilight. After a long time of consideration, she decided to turn her brain into a The child, the child is named creation, to create everything she has not finished, to continue her mission in this amusement park. "But she also discovered that the nature of creation does not rule, so she turned her heart into another child, the name is called rule, and rule manages everything that needs to be ruled." The devil is like telling a story to a child Say to Echo.

Like watching a children's storytelling show, Echo knew that the phrase - the metaphor of the world as a playground - was all a play on her imagination. The warm feeling made Echo laugh. But she also knew that what the devil was telling was his own origin, and there was always a profound meaning behind fairy tales. The Demon King went on to say: "The mother of the God of Creation took off the eyes on her chest, turned them into light elements, split them into two, and gave them to the two children. "This huge amusement park has many pieces, and she gave the sky part to the second child, and the rest to the first child, and then she took out a plate of unfinished cakes and gave it to the child. The second child, say to him: 'You shall be the ruling god, and therefore this thing called the world of men is to be accomplished by you.'”

"Ah! Is the human world only as big as a cake?" Echo asked abruptly.After speaking, he blushed again, but the Demon King didn't think it was a pest, and said: "Yeah! And the shelf life is limited." Seeing the echo, he laughed again, and he continued: "However, the mother of the God of Creation suddenly exhaled three melodies—that is, three nightmares, one covering the unfinished human world, and the other drifting to a certain place in the amusement park, which was later the sealed realm—she was very impressed The first child said: 'You must know its future, you must find its solution. For it must need and exist.'

"There was one last nightmare left, and she wove it into a garment and put it on the second child, saying: 'The majesty of dominion knows no bounds, so it needs to be given bounds, or it will corrupt, for it is The essence of the word rule.' "The nightmare of the mother of the Creation God has always been the future beyond all time, so it contains great power. "Finally, Mother God of Creation is leaving, and her beautiful hair has turned into wind, echoing in this vast amusement park, and when she left, eight feathers emitting colorful lights floated down from her body.

"The first child picked up four pieces, and later he let these feathers transform themselves into four elements: earth, fire, wind, and water, and then each of them became the king of elves. "The second child also picked up four pieces. He shaped the appearance he liked for them, took his favorite name, and became the four strongest beings among the angels: Mikael of Fire, Gabriel of Water, Raphael of the Wind, Julier of the Earth." When the devil spoke, he spoke in mantras and divine words when he mentioned the name, but the echo could understand him. Since she drank the spirit crystal water, she can understand the original text of these names, because some tissues in her body have assimilated with the elves.

The Demon King went on to say: "Since then, the amusement park has been in operation thanks to the efforts of these two children. "However... Mother God of Creation has one thing that she did not tell the two children about creation. Including the whole world, including everything in the amusement park, Mother God of Creation used the original power of the word creation to build, so she Hiding the real names of the two children - the Creation Mother's own language. "She told the two children their own names, leaving the form and meaning but concealing the essence. "Because she knows that her negligence has caused creation to also involve its opposite word—cancellation of creation, that is, the state of no creation, nothingness.

"Because this creation is a creation that surpasses all existence and power." Seeing the echo and listening with gusto, the Demon King said again: "Thus, to read the name backwards would cancel all creation, including the entire playground, the sky of the playground, and, much later, the human world completed by the second child." "That's the secret of Genesis? And you... are the first child?" Echo's eyes widened. "Yes." The Demon King said: "People call me Jack Shalixis. This is just a name created by the elves. It also means creation. It also contains the meaning of eternal existence, but it is not the language used by the mother of the creation god."

"Then, is the secret of Genesis in Angel Echo?" "No! It's on you." Looking at Echo's surprised face, the Demon King continued: "Angel Echo has not revealed this fact for your safety. Even when he was tortured... In order to protect you, he has always let the fallen angels mistakenly believe that the secret of creation is on him. However, I have taken You don't have to worry anymore." Echo was moved for a while, she was really loved by too many people, which made her a little at a loss. "Before, I was faced with a choice: take away the secret of Genesis from your body, and everything will be over. However, I couldn't find enough to exchange for the fact that it was stolen, so I can simply take it away. If you don’t eliminate the occurrence of this incident, the same incident will only emerge one after another, and each one will become more serious, and one day it will be so serious that nothing can exchange its existence.” The demon king said:

"You may think, why do you need to exchange? Just know how to do it and complete it! In fact, the reason is very simple, let's take human life as an example! You can understand it better. "Being sick, you have to trade medicine to get back healthy, and sometimes medicine isn't enough, along with rest or confidence, maybe other treatments. "Everything in the world is the same. People have to work in exchange for life. Of course there are other ways of exchange, but if some ways are not chosen properly, there will be bad consequences, such as robbery and cheating. Think about it, if the sickness is used in exchange The medicine is wrong and guess what? "In short, when the elements of the exchange are insufficient, it is impossible to achieve a result, and if the wrong exchange is chosen, the consequences are much more serious than robbery for life. "The problem I encountered earlier was: what should I exchange for the secret of Genesis? What is its equivalent? The secret of Genesis is too powerful, and there is no equivalent that cannot cancel each other out , in the end it’s just letting you die in vain.” "I will die if I take away the secret of creation? But I'm still alive!" Echo felt strange. "You were just a human being. Such a powerful existence has been hidden on your body for a long time, and it has almost integrated with you. If you take it away, you will die. It was because of an opportunity later that you drank the soul crystal water, So you're still alive." "I see..." she murmured. "Well! You will wonder why the Great Seal—the nightmare of the Creator God has existed for a long time, why I have never discovered that it can be used to neutralize the secret of Genesis. In fact, this is due to the battle of the Archangel, Gabriel and Satan Ye The war in the Great Seal changed some key structures of the Great Seal, which was unexpected! And this change allowed it to exchange the secret of Genesis." "I see..." she murmured again. "The world was originally balanced because we followed the teachings of the Creator God, who said: 'All things are equal and balanced.' "It's the basic structure of the world, and if everyone followed this code to get what they deserved, there would be no war. There might be no passion, but there would be absolute balance. "It's a pity that the world you and I know has changed! Everyone only wants to take what they want, but is stingy at giving out what they want to exchange. If every powerful force acts unscrupulously and arbitrarily, we will have to pay for it in the future The cost will be unpredictable." The devil said: "Echo, I know you like Gabriel, and I know how important he is to you. Invisibly, he has already become your mentor in life; you know that not everyone will meet a mentor in his life; however, I cannot Obtain enough existence to exchange with him—" Echo shook her head, bowing her head in tears. Thinking of Gabriel, she was still full of bitterness, and she couldn't hold back the tears no matter what, as if they were connected with this sad name. "Gabriel is the first angel to wake up, and he was formed at the same time as the water Wenting of the four elemental spirit kings. He is the favorite work of the god of heaven, the ruling god, but unfortunately... the smart ruling god knows , Gabriel already knew his origin the moment he woke up, and the other three angels didn't know their origins until they experienced the battle of the stars. "Gabriel's intelligence made it impossible for the gods to fully rule over him, so the nightmare of the gods of the ruling gods was imposed on him—that is, a curse, and perhaps a blessing—in order to make him something. " Seeing the echo, she began to cry again, and His Majesty the Demon King knew from her mind that she was recalling the scene that made her sad: the moment when Gabriel died. He knew that memory would stay with her forever. So he fell silent, and he gave Echo time to shed tears freely and freely, to bury her head in the grief of loss.Because it is not a blur like a fleeting image, but a trace like a fiery red mark. The more she knows, the more Echo feels that she is small, and the image of a little hopelessness emerges, as if her thinking is far from being able to accommodate such a big world. It was obvious that she was in a corner of an amusement park—on a small, soft cake.And the night-like gods and the ruling gods run this world together... Wiping away her tears, she raised her head to look at the Demon King. Echo had the illusion that he was not actually in front of her eyes, but somewhere else. "So... where do you exist?" She asked suddenly. It was a sudden question, but it seemed natural to him. A short thought—not because he didn't know, he was omniscient, there was nothing he didn't know, there was no future he couldn't see, it was just... he couldn't say it in words that Echo could understand. "That place has only one name, and it's called Eternity," he said. "Eternal?...I haven't seen eternal things, I think...the meaning of the phrase doesn't exist, it's just a romantic sentence." Echo thought of Gabriel. "Yes!" to humans. "But there I am," he said. Echo looked at him with both eyes, and looked into his dark green, deep but bright pupils, where she saw her own shadow. Expectation, timidity, panic... This is the projected her in his eyes. She doesn't care where eternity is, she just hopes that this moment is eternity. "There is something very important, I must make it clear to you. Echo!" He bent his body so that his face could face the girl in front of him.He said: "I have completely destroyed all incidents that violated the rules of life established by the gods—the soul crystal water, it is an unnatural existence, and there is no exchange for it, even if it is only a tiny existence in a series of incidents, Its appearance has disappeared along with the realm of neutralization and sealing, and the secret of Genesis." His voice was as deep as his, smooth and clear, and he held a crystal bottle shining with violet in front of Echo, and said: "This is the last soul crystal water, drink it, and you will become immortal. The amount that Hulier fed you before is only enough to extend your short life, but it can't prevent death from falling on you. You When it will lose its vitality, none of us knows, it may be years later, or tomorrow." "……time……" Echo's gaze did not move to the bottle of life liquid, her eyes stayed on the face of His Majesty the Demon King, and she asked a question she never knew: "Time passing by you...is that what eternity feels like? What does it feel like? Can you turn back and see the flow of time that has passed?" "Time... when it passes by, it is like a light wind blowing behind you." His Majesty the Demon King opened his beautiful thin lips and said: "Maybe someone can go back and stare at everything that happened in the past without hesitation, but you must always remind yourself-don't stretch out your hand to interfere with the dead time." "Dead time?" Echo didn't understand, "If time is multiple, shouldn't each period be both the past and the future?" "It can be said to be yes, or it can be said to be no." His Majesty the Demon King replied, he smiled and said: "It's very unwise to want to change what happens in time! Have you ever tried to intercept a section of wind? Such illusory things are actually unreal to any eternal life. The creatures of the . . . " Echo didn't answer, and didn't ask further questions. How does she answer and ask what she doesn't understand?Although she is not a wise person, she still has the wisdom of not criticizing things she doesn't understand. The wind of the demon world blows gently. A moment of silence passed, and Echo looked up again at the one she had long admired—a deep, dark deity. "...the language you speak... it is said... that there is no lie?" Echo finished speaking, and took the bright and beautiful bottle from the Demon King. "Yes." His Majesty the Demon King answered briefly. "Drink this," Echo panted lightly with an unknown expression, his voice was weak but crisp: "Drink it and I'll live forever?" "Yes! I found something to exchange with it." Said the devil. "Drink this..." A blush flew onto Echo's cheek, and she asked tremblingly: "Drink this...will you love me?" Willful questioning and willful hope, I don’t want to let the answer that I long for to know continue to sleep under the rationality; don’t human beings always yearn for some wishful thinking? Then, let her enjoy the capriciousness of being a human being! The silence of His Majesty the Demon King seemed to stay between them for a thousand years, even though it was as short as a breath to the Demon King. Echo didn't look away because of the embarrassment that arose while waiting for the answer, she had always been staring at him like this, as long as his figure was in front of her eyes, her eyes could only accommodate him. "echo……" He finally spoke, the voice was as deep as before, but it seemed to contain a sigh. His Majesty the Demon King said in the tone that a Demon King should have: "I am a creator and a bystander, not an executor or an intervener." His answer was like a devil. "Jayce! Will you love me? Not now, if time is immortal, I am willing to wait." When Echo said, tears flashed in his bright eyes. "Won't." The answering voice was still as quiet, direct, and real as a demon king. With a crisp sound, the only remaining part of the spirit crystal water overflowed from the fragments of the broken crystal bottle, and the blue-purple psychedelic liquid sank into nothingness as soon as it touched the ground, as if it had never existed. "Echo! Why?" His Majesty the Demon King frowned for the first time, and doubts flashed in his green eyes. "Do you want me to live a life that you will never love me in a long and empty time and space? This is a crueler punishment than death! What wrong have I done to deserve this punishment? I would rather die now." Echo spoke, and the tears finally fell, but she laughed, and she went on: "I've been told that falsehood is ugly and corrupt, but I say—truth is cruel and ruthless...Nevertheless, truth has its own splendor, like angels and all gods." — but this light does not exist in humans — she thought. She didn't threaten the other party with her life to love her, so why did she threaten?But she herself formulated the outcome when the answers were revealed. This time, it was not His Majesty the Demon King who turned his back on her and walked away, but she herself walked away from his gaze. This time, it was her who turned her back to him and moved her figure from his line of sight... In the past, she often sent away this night-like god with a lost gaze, but now, she turned away again with the same mood and her own consciousness. Where are you going? She was crying and didn't want to wipe it away. To go where she is supposed to go as a human— But she didn't know the way to go. It does not refer to the tangible road. The tangible road is clearly visible. Even if you are ignorant, you will not easily miss your way.Just as she is familiar with the classroom that she needs to report to every day, even with her eyes closed, she can go up the stairs, turn southeast, go straight, turn left and walk to her place. However, the direction of her heart has been lost, she can no longer find the way she came from, and she can't see where it leads. At this moment and here, she is blind, a blind person with her eyes open. No one cares about her, it doesn't matter whether she lives or dies, the world is still turning, the song will not disappear, the language will still exist, the wind will still blow, all good and evil will not change because of her alone... Whether she exists or not doesn't really make any sense.
