All living beings in hell

Chapter 132 - Illinois, Daughter of the Wind

The lotus lantern at the entrance was lit up, and the office welcomed No.80 No. [-] customer.

I sat quietly on the wooden chair, only feeling a gust of wind rising from under the chair legs.The wind was white and swirling, forming a cocoon around me and wrapping me in it.

"After waiting for so long, it's really not easy to meet you." A female voice came from the whirlwind, and the voice was full of magnetism.

The wind that wrapped me like a cocoon scattered away, turning into thousands of wind threads and gathering on the guest chair in front of the wooden table.The wind blows layer by layer, taking the shape of a human, and a woman in a white dress appears on the wooden chair.

The woman has long white hair, which hangs lightly on her shoulders and flows down to the back of her waist.She has a pair of red and blue pupils, the red eyes are as bright as a red rabbit, and the blue eyes are as clear as the Baltic Sea on a sunny day.Her complexion was pale, unlike human skin.Both eyes just opened for a moment, glanced at me, and then closed, leaving only one eye between the eyebrows open.This eye has no eyeball, it is a purple sphere, and there are twinkling stars in the sphere.

"I am the son of Thor, the Daughter of the Wind, Illinois. Your Excellency looks more ordinary than I imagined."

Illinois's words are gentle, but the gentleness reveals the arrogance that belongs to the gods alone.

I wrote her name on the rice paper: "Illinois, may I ask why you are looking for me today?"

"My father, Thor, is about to betroth me to Gaia, the god of the earth, and I am very hesitant about this marriage. I also asked the opinions of many people around me, and the answers I got were mixed, and I couldn't make a decision at all. So I also want to ask my lord to see what you think."

"Why did Thor marry you to Gaia? Isn't Gaia the ancient primitive god, the mother of the Greek gods?"

"It seems that what you know about Gaia is from reading Greek mythology. If you put Gaia in the branch of Greek mythology, she is indeed the mother of gods and gave birth to many other gods. In other mythology, She has other names, and other ways of being.

While Gaia's maternal energy is strong, she has not always presented herself as a woman.Just like I show the image of a girl as a girl, but if I want to use my masculinity to transform into a man, it is not impossible.

Our gods will also evolve with the changes of humans. Gaia has been constantly adjusting its way of getting along with humans since humans were born on this land for thousands of years.In ancient times, our gods intervened a lot in human affairs.Since the industrial revolution, humans have chosen to develop technology and believe in materialism, and our gods have faded away in people's lives.

As for the betrothal, I'm afraid it was my father's nonsense on the spur of the moment after he was drunk, but other gods listened to it.After my father sobered up, he simply wanted to marry me out.

I have always been in awe of Gaia.She is the primordial god of the ancient times, and I am just a small god of the new generation.In terms of knowledge, there is a difference of ten thousand years; in terms of qualifications, I have no confidence.However, I know that if it is my father Thor's request, Gaia will not refuse. "

"Why won't Gaia refuse?"

"For Gaia, marriage may be just a form of courtship between gods, which she has experienced thousands of times. But for me, this is the first time since I was born.

To put it bluntly, Your Excellency.I don't know what kind of attitude I should show on this matter, and I don't even have a specific idea.I was nervous, just nervous. "

"Indeed, this kind of marriage will make people very nervous. You don't know each other well, and the marriage was forcibly arranged by your father. What do you think? Do you want to combine with the earth?"

"The combination of the wind and the earth, I don't know what the result will be. Maybe I know the result, but because I am too scared, I don't want to imagine any possible results.

The combination of gods is related to the natural direction, wind, cloud, thunderstorm, water, fire, forest and fog.This kind of responsibility is too great. Just thinking about it makes me tremble all over, and I don't want to continue thinking about it. "

"Then have you ever told your father what you really think?"

"Of course, of course. But my father loves face very much. Alas, these ancient gods are like this. Even if it is nonsense after drinking, it will not be taken back easily because of the love of face. Especially about the matter of marrying a daughter, if Let him take back the matter of Xu's marriage in a dignified manner, so what's the face of him?"

"Then what do you think about your father's saving face?"

"This may be the duty of our gods. Since the gods are gods, they should keep their promises without joking. If they always go back on their promises, the reputation of the gods will not be guaranteed."

"Aside from the responsibilities of the gods, what do you think?"

"Me? Myself? What do you mean by this? As a god, how can you ignore the responsibilities of a god?"

"Gods can also be full of selfish desires, and this is what Greek mythology told me."

"The pursuit of the Greek gods is not what we are pursuing. Our existence is for the good weather of the world. If we can't achieve this goal, then I am ashamed of my identity as a god."

"So what you are most worried about about this combination is whether it can bring good weather to the world?"

"Yes."

"What is good weather? Now that the world is suffering from the apocalypse, it can't be called good weather."

Illinois slowly opened the red and blue eyes, and the purple eyes between the brows closed.

"What do you think is good weather?"

"It can talk about many different aspects. You can talk about the natural climate, you can talk about the government, you can talk about the growth of crops, and you can talk about people's aspirations. I don't know which one you are talking about?"

"Everything I said, I have."

"How about that?"

Illinois sighed deeply.

"It's precisely because I don't know, and I don't want to imagine the result of the combination, so I have nothing to say for the time being."

"Did your father tell you what the wind and the earth look like?"

"My father said that there were other wind gods who combined with Gaia before, but because each wind god has different characteristics and natures, this is an unpredictable thing, so let me stop asking."

"It sounds like this is really risky and somewhat contrary to your original intention. Maybe you shouldn't be struggling with whether to combine this thing."

"What do you mean by your words?"

"If your original intention as a god is to get rid of all selfish desires and serve the world in everything, then you don't need to consider your father's face.

A good face is also a kind of selfish desire.

All you need to consider is whether your union can bring positive influence to the world, and if so, do it.Can't, don't do it.

After truly eliminating selfish desires, the decision between doing or not doing can be decided entirely based on the value of interests.Is it simpler and clearer? "

Illinois thought for a few seconds, then said in a low voice.

"Are you laughing at our god?"

"I didn't, how dare I laugh at the gods!"

"It has nothing to do with selfishness or not. The impact of the union is important, and so is my father's face."

"Okay, so at the moment, it seems that you will follow the order of Thor no matter what, and marry the earth, right?"

"Unless I can convince my father to list all the disadvantages of the combination of wind and earth. If the disadvantages far outweigh the benefits, my father, as a god, will have to consider the impact of such a combination. Maybe I will take back the drunken nonsense , Let me float freely in the world again."

"What disadvantages can you think of?"

"I visited many other gods, including other wind gods. They said that the most intuitive effect of the combination of wind and earth is that the extremely heavy elements that have been buried underground for thousands of years are affected by the wind and begin to slowly appear on the surface."

"Is there any downside to this?"

"If extremely heavy objects cannot stay in their original places, and extremely light objects are like wind and are restrained by gravity, unable to come and go freely, then turbid air and dust will form in the world. Both turbid air and dust will make people sick, and would spoil crops and grain."

"That sounds serious already, doesn't it?"

"What will happen if a person's spirit cannot land and cannot ascend?"

"Is it the situation that people often say that the mood is not up or down? It feels like the heart is always hanging there, and there is no peace."

"Yes, if the combination of wind and soil is not good, then people's spirits cannot be grounded, nor can they reach the sky. From the perspective of human psychology, it is easy to feel insecure, anxious and unstable."

"That's bad, is there anything else?"

"Of course there are benefits. It all depends on the tacit understanding of the combination. If the tacit understanding and adjustment are good, then the heavy matter can both land and rise, and the light matter can be free and rooted."

"Sounds like it's all up to you and Gaia to do it."

"The key is how to do this, how to do it! It's difficult!"

Illinois and I fell into a brief moment of silence.In order to make this silence not seem awkward, I got up to make tea and put it in front of her.Illinois took a sip of tea, but didn't intend to speak.So I said slowly: "You are not ready yet, if you are not ready, maybe you can wait."

"Prepare for this matter, no matter how many possible consequences you imagine, you will never be fully prepared."

"Maybe what you need to do is not to be [-]% ready, at least to collect some information that can be weighed by you."

"Your Excellency..." Illinois's tone slowed down, and her pair of red and blue pupils looked at me with some concern, "The more information I have, the less I can make a decision. The more I prepare, the more I feel What if you are unprepared?"

"One thing, whether it's a human or a god, I think they're all the same."

"Please speak, Your Excellency."

"Do what you really want to do, don't do what you don't want to do for others. This is not selfish desire, it involves a series of motives behind. If the motive from the beginning is to save your father's face, it is completely Doing it for your father, how long do you think you can do it, and how well can you do it?"

"I also do it for the good weather of the world, which does not violate my original intention."

"Okay, then you must never forget this point. No matter what you do or make any decision, you must remember that you are doing it for the sake of the world."

"That's natural."

"In this way, you will not be confused by the information. The information seems to be too much and messy, but as long as the original intention is used as the anchor to filter, it is easy to filter out the useless parts and select the useful parts for reference."

Illinois paused for a few seconds, then burst out laughing: "It's really great."

"I mean, won't you be less confused?"

"If it was a god like my father's generation, they would definitely stiffen their necks and say, I am not confused at all! Your Excellency, I am a god of the new generation. However, the conversation I had with you today really inspired me a lot.”

"Very good."

Illinois hesitated as if to say something: "Your Excellency..."

"Huh? You said."

"A lot, thanks."

"Unkind."

Illinois let out a long sigh of relief after thanking him, as if he had relieved some kind of burden: "I still have a few officials from the underworld who I want to visit."

"Then I will keep you soon."

A white whirlwind was raised in the center of the office again, and the figure of Illinois turned into a silk thread and floated into the wind.

"Goodbye, Your Excellency."

"Goodbye." I said.

The silk-like wind spread in all directions, got out from the cracks in the windows and doors, and flowed into the distance.
