Jiang Ke'er was worshipped as a god, and they expressed their gratitude to Jiang Ke'er in the way they thought was most appropriate, such as worship and sacrifice.
They grew up quickly, and Jiang Ke'er tried her best to guide them to become what she expected them to be, advising them not to fight, not to kill, and not to bully the weak...
But they didn't know when they got bored.
Ever since they had no worries about food and clothing, they began to doubt Jiang Ke'er.
Are what the gods say always right?
Why does she set rules and regulations for us and restrict our freedom?
What on earth does she intend for us?!
No, we cannot allow such a powerful threat to overwhelm us!
She must be eliminated!
Even if I die, I want her to see the greatness of the human spirit of freedom!
Jiang Ke'er watched in agony as they set up a killing spree, exhausting all the planet's resources and strength, and rushing towards her while shouting slogans hysterically.
Looking around, all I see are children that I have watched grow up.
When they saw Jiang Ke'er's desperate look, they were immediately encouraged and cheered up, and they attacked Jiang Ke'er with more strength.
Jiang Keer had to raise her hand.
Everything is back to the starting point.
She curled up in the darkness again, feeling the emptiness in her heart alone.
She didn't want to interfere anymore.
But time continues to move forward relentlessly.
Every day new life is born on new planets.
Jiang Ke'er was too lazy to pay attention.
Until one day, a small white spaceship flew past her.
Jiang Keer then became interested and quietly came to a planet with medium civilization.
There, she integrated into human society, got married, and had a child with a woman.
That was probably the happiest time in her long life. Even among countless experiences, it was as dazzling as a star.
But the good times didn't last long.
Soon, the woman grew old and left her, turning into a handful of ashes.
Even though she studied hard and learned how to prolong her life, life has its limits after all, and she still died.
Even the children are aging rapidly.
Even their descendants died out quickly.
She was alone and dazed, feeling a stronger sense of emptiness and loneliness than ever before.
In order to prevent this pain from consuming her, she hurried to the next family in the next civilization.
Endless reincarnations, but she could only watch helplessly as time eroded her surroundings, and everyone slipped away from her hands, returning to the most primitive source matter of the universe.
Only oneself is eternal and immortal.
What's even more tragic is that after experiencing countless reincarnations, even the exciting emotions of family, love, and friendship can no longer infect her.
She was numb.
The familiar feeling of loneliness surrounded me again.
At this time, Jiang Ke'er could no longer find a way to fight back.
Loneliness made her irritable.
"It's fake, all this is meaningless!" Jiang Ke'er laughed bitterly.
Her heart was once again filled with the desire to destroy, but she didn't want to destroy anything else.
The only thing she wanted to destroy was herself.
So she began to train her subordinates.
She named herself Ancient God, which means the pitiful god who has existed since ancient times.
She divided her power to make her subordinates stronger, and then searched everywhere for things that could threaten her.
She didn't know where this darkness came from, but she believed that in this endless and vast darkness, there must be something that could kill her!
I must figure out its mystery, where does it come from, what it is... and what am I?
Her efforts paid off.
Soon, she found a stone. The stone contained a power deeper than the darkness, a power that even she could feel pain.
This made her feel ecstasy for the first time in a long time!
What made her even more excited was that she met another being who was equal to herself!
The guy said he came from another darkness, lived longer than him, and was more boring.
He exuded a dead air of despair and boredom, and it was obvious that he had gone through everything and would no longer be moved by any emotion.
They are tormented by loneliness and will not feel relieved even if they meet others of their kind, because the endless years have made them tired of everything.
They know that the best outcome for them is to disappear.
So they formed an alliance to explore the mystery of this endless darkness together.
They have long been accustomed to life and death, so they don't care about the life and death of those lives. They just want to pursue the origin of the world and the mystery of endless darkness.
During this long process, Jiang Keer gradually came into contact with more people of the same kind.
Her followers are increasing in number, spanning countless voids and covering billions of civilized worlds!
However, the ancient gods' contempt for life and their brutal methods gradually caused dissatisfaction among more and more lives.
They also began to make contacts across the void, win over allies, and form a resistance alliance.
There are also some ancient gods with the same power as Jiang Keer, but for some reason, they did not choose to join the Ancient God Alliance, but chose to protect them.
To protect that weak, tiny, and fleeting pitiful civilization... In Jiang Keer's opinion, this is simply ridiculous!
They named themselves the Stars.
They never feel inferior even if it is just a tiny spark.
They rack their brains and use all their skills to protect those fragile emotions that seem insignificant to them.
Oh, the stars.
(2/2)
139. Metamorphosis
Those who rebelled called themselves the Children of the Stars.
They were born among the stars, and they will defend their sensuality to the death.
They connected the starry sky together to form an impregnable network, and resisted the invasion of the ancient gods at all costs.
Jiang Ke'er looked at them, unable to understand.
"I will grant you the end."
"I will give you the greatest happiness I know, the only truth and beauty in the universe."
"That is everything I have ever dreamed of, and it is also the ending you are destined to meet."
"Why, why don't you understand..."
Jiang Ke'er hugged her head, the familiar feeling of loneliness suddenly gave her a splitting headache.
Immediately followed by an intense feeling of suffocation, she fell with her head raised, her body falling endlessly.
She watched everything in front of her gradually become dim and farther away.
Everything returned to darkness.
Then with a sudden shudder, she opened her eyes.
The sky before my eyes turned into another starry sky, and in front of me was an extremely huge translucent shadow.
"I envy their insignificance, their ignorance... It was so in the past, and it is so today."
Epsilon said calmly, the rumbling sound echoing in Jiang Keer's mind.
Jiang Ke'er's eyes were dull.
Her consciousness was extremely confused at this moment, and what was even more terrifying was that she had a strong resonance with what Epsilon said.
What he said was right... because I have experienced it deeply.
The kind of hunger for death that comes after loneliness reaches its extreme.
"What on earth did you do to me..." Jiang Ke'er panted weakly, her voice as soft as fine lines.
She felt her interest in everything was fading.
Epsilon still spoke in that emotionless tone: "I just let you experience the price of accepting power in advance."
"Those...are your whole life?"
"Yes."
"..."
Jiang Ke'er can no longer distinguish between dreams and reality.
The memories stored in the body came flooding back and fought against billions of years of memories... like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
Although in most cases, when people wake up from sleep, the brain will quickly correct their cognition, no matter how magnificent the past experiences in the dream are, they will soon be completely forgotten.
But the impact of this dream was so great that it spanned billions of years.
In comparison, my original experience of just over a decade was simply insignificant.
All of this has caused irreversible changes in Jiang Keer's cognition.
It's like drugs.
It can make people easily secrete dopamine, gain happiness, and then quickly raise the threshold of happiness.
From then on, if you want to be happy, you need to take in larger and larger doses, until you can no longer feel happy no matter how much you take, and you become completely numb.
It’s just like the emotional excitement that the ancient gods frantically pursued during countless civilization reconstructions.
"There are ways to break the contract, and threats will lose their effectiveness over time," Epsilon lowered his head and looked at Jiang Ke'er lying in his palm with pity, "So, I won't force you. I just need you to walk the path I have walked."
"…Then, you will become me."
Jiang Ke'er was trembling, opening her mouth and trying to breathe, trying to replenish the nutrients that her chaotic brain was lacking.
Unfortunately, this seems to be space and there is no air.
She will eventually become numb and become the next Epsilon, retracing the path he had not taken... Even Jiang Ke'er vaguely thought so.
The body's memories are being rapidly devoured, and all the beautiful emotions are being easily crushed by billions of years of loneliness.
"Ha ha--"
Jiang Ke'er clutched the clothes on her chest tightly, knelt on the ground, and struggled and gasped.
Tears blurred my vision and rolled down in big drops.
She is a mess now.
She has no idea who she is.
"You are lonely, you belong to loneliness, just like me."
Epsilon's voice echoed in her ears over and over again.
"No one has ever understood you. Everything you protect will eventually betray you."
Jiang Ke'er seemed to see the many faces of Shenzhou and hear the insults coming from all over Shenzhou.
