I became a member of the ancient gods

Chapter 356 The meaning of being a human being
"I know you have always wanted to find the meaning of living by yourself. Are you interested in this kind of philosophical question, my daughter?" Xu Mori asked with a smile.

"Because you directly defined the meaning of my life in the world. You always talk about those principles. I always thought you were a philosopher before, but I didn't expect you to study astronomy." Irene said.

"I have also studied it, but it's a pity that philosophy can't save my poor outlook on life. I was born in that golden age that you envy, but in my eyes, it was a very boring era, and most people took advantage of their lives in a blink of an eye. To pursue a more comfortable life, to be able to magnify one's life to the extent of influencing civilization, is enough to be called a great man, to be made into a huge sculpture for people to admire - this is what a person can do in that era The limit of what you can do." Xu Mori said.

"Isn't that enough for you?" Erin asked.

"Now my statue is standing in the Second Sanctuary, what do you think?" Xu Mori asked, "Yes, I have also tried things that seem to make my life meaningful, such as... becoming A hero. But after doing it, I found that it was more empty than I imagined. Even if I saved all mankind, from the perspective of God, it was just a group of bacteria on a mud pill in the universe that prevented extinction and continued to multiply. Just go down. As a human being, the meaning of existence will always have a limit, unless you transcend human beings and become that god."

When he said this, his tone was always as calm as a pool of stagnant water, and no passion could be heard. Becoming a god was not a life goal for him, it was just something as common as dressing and eating, but necessary. .

"So to you, the significance of these 20 years in the Catastrophic Era exceeds the thousands of years of human history?" This time, Irene finally understood the true meaning of what Xu Mori said in the past.

"Yes, because this is the first time that human beings have come into contact with a transcendent existence that is older than the birth of life and is a true god." God’s way.”

"Is there really such a method? There is a trap in the emperor's status. Becoming a god directly will only be corroded by the will of the Supreme One." Eileen said, seeming to remind Xu Mori and persuade him to give up.

But she knew very well that Xu Mori must have been prepared to reach this point, but she didn't know what method the other party planned to use to deal with the problem that the consciousness of spiritual authority would be eroded after absorbing it.

Of course, excluding the emperor race and just absorbing the other seven powers into one might be a way.

But then it is impossible to become fully God, and it is never possible to reach the heights of the Most High.

The Supreme One can manipulate time and space to easily cross light-year distances. He can plant his own embryos for resurrection in the center of the planet. He can create life from nothing on a planet, and he can also recycle all life in an instant.

As for the eight ancient gods, their power can only be considered to be at the same level as human strategic weapons. In other words, they are still on the same level as human civilization.Even if Xu Mori collects seven powers, he can only become an indigenous god who is king on the earth. He may have the ability to move between planets in the solar system, but he probably does not even have the ability to leave the solar system for interstellar travel. .

Most of the power of the Supreme One lies in the "divine body" hatched from the center of the earth. In terms of scale, it is countless times higher than the eight ancient gods.

If the Supreme One is compared to a dictionary, then the divine body incubated in the center of the earth is the vast majority of his content, and the eight major authorities are the directory, especially the spiritual authority of the emperor species. Only the power of the emperor species can call the divine body, which is The most important part of the table of contents, without it the dictionary would be basically useless.

Therefore, Xu Mori, who has magnified the meaning of his life to the level of the universe, cannot be satisfied with this level. He may accept that he cannot reach the level of the Supreme Being and become an imperfect god, but at least he must be close to the Supreme Being and reach the same level. With the power of interstellar travel, this man with an empty heart can look down on his life as a mortal from a new height.

Xu Mori looked at Eileen: "Now that you know my plan, what are you going to do?"

"I can't do anything, but I at least want to die with clarity." Eileen said every word.

This was what she was thinking. She wanted to know clearly how Xu Mori would send her to the altar as a sacrifice.

"You will not die, my child. Just like the personality I set for you when you were born, you will not choose to die under any circumstances. You will just combine with a great consciousness and become a part of him. , mentally, you will become a transcendent existence." Xu Mori raised his finger and pointed at the sky.

"Losing your independent personality, to me, is not much different from dying." Eileen replied.

"I don't mind telling you, but I really don't need to do that. The villains in the story always die from talking too much, and I am a standard villain." Xu Mori said with a smile, without any hint of self-deprecation. .

"You've talked enough." Erin sarcastically said without hesitation.

"But at least I shouldn't reveal the most important part to you. The meaning of your short life is to be my sacrifice. Whether you accept it or not, this is the result." Xu Mori finished. He looked at the time and said, "Half an hour has passed since the explosion of Abyss No. [-], so it's almost over."

After hearing the last three words, Erin's shoulders trembled.

Xu Mori looked at Irene's back with interest, as if savoring her despair.

After a while, the wind and snow seemed to subside a little, but the flow of gray fog began to intensify.

Both Xu Mori and Eileen felt this change, and they both understood what this change meant.

"It's started." Xu Mori nodded.

Erin, on the other hand, raised her face with despair.

"Then it's the end. Do you have anything to say, my daughter?" Xu Mori suddenly asked her back.

At this moment, Irene suddenly calmed down, unprecedentedly calm.She didn't use her powers on herself, but finally accepted the cold reality that nothing could be changed.

"You will fail, father, no, Xu Mo!" Irene turned around, looked directly at Xu Mori, and called out the other person's past name. That name represented Xu Mori's most ordinary identity in the past, not Mr. Key. , not even the number one abyss hunter as a hunter, "No matter how much you deny it, you are only a small mortal."
