Ji Tianxing did not find it strange at all that Elder Du was watching the battle in the dark.
But Elder Du's attitude was so amiable, and she was not stingy with her praise, which surprised him.
After all, as far as he knew, ninety-nine percent of the Divine Race were arrogant and looked down on all the other races.
Seeing that Ji Tianxing was silent and seemed to have something on his mind, Elder Du thought for a while and asked, "Are you surprised that my attitude towards you is different from others?"
Ji Tianxing didn't try to hide it. He nodded and said, "It's indeed a little unexpected. However, I thought that it was because your breadth of mind and self-restraint is something that others can't compare to."
Elder Du stroked his beard and looked at the vast starry sky with deep eyes. He said with some emotion, "You don't have to flatter me. I don't like it either.
If not for this, I would not have given up the position of Imperial Preceptor and would rather hide in this library until I die alone. "
Ji Tianxing was startled and said with a chuckle, "I didn't expect there to be such a story. It seems that you are a sentimental person."
Elder Du said with emotion again, "Many of the Divine Race think highly of themselves and look down on all the other races in the world as ants.
But that is because their vision and vision are too narrow.
If they look and explore the starry sky, they will understand that the most honorable thing in the world is not the creatures, but the stars in the sky.
The starry sky is vast and boundless.
There are as many stars as the gravel in the desert.
Also, the stars are dazzling and have existed since time immemorial. That is the most powerful life in the world. "
"Life?" Ji Tianxing raised his eyebrows and asked with interest, "In your eyes, the stars in the sky are also life?"
"Isn't it?" Elder Du asked with a frown. "When I look at the starry sky for a long time, I see the stars twinkling as if they are blinking.
Also, the stars in the sky can give birth to life and nurture all things.
Most importantly, the stars can move on their own and travel in the void.
If there is no life, how can they do this? "
Ji Tianxing smiled and said, "Pavilion Elder's words are different. When we see stars twinkling in the sky, it's because the stars are too far away from us.
The light emitted by the stars would be blocked by the dust and debris in the void, which was why it would flicker, as if it was blinking.
As for the stars nurturing all things and giving birth to life, that was not absolute.
Most of the stars were made of metal, rock, and soil. There were no signs of life on them.
Only a very small number of stars that contained the power of the five elements, wind, thunder, rain, and lightning, could give birth to life.
What creates life is not the stars, but the five elements and lightning. "
Speaking of this, he paused to observe Elder Du's reaction.
Elder Du frowned and seemed to be deep in thought. She was not in a hurry to refute.
He continued, "Besides, the stars move on their own not because they are alive, but because of gravity …"
Ji Tianxing gave his opinion and did not say anything else.
Elder Du thought for a long time before asking, "So, you think the stars are lifeless?"
Ji Tianxing thought for a while and shook his head, "It's not completely absolute. It depends on your understanding of life.
Not all stars will exist forever. Many stars will grow and become bigger, but they will also shatter and become meteorites and dust.
If the body of flesh and blood, the essence of plants, spirit, and thoughts are the standard, then the stars are lifeless.
If we use life and death as the standard, then the stars are alive. "
Elder Du did not comment on his words. She only raised her eyebrows and asked, "Young man, you have also studied the outer space and explored the mysteries of the stars?"
Ji Tianxing nodded and said, "Of course! This is not because of a hobby, but a compulsory course on the path to the peak of the Shinto Path!
After all, the beginning of the Shinto Path is to master power, to understand and change oneself.
The second step of the Shinto Path is to understand the heaven and earth and to integrate into this world.
As for the third step of the Shinto Path, it is to explore the outer space, to find more powerful and mysterious power, to pursue the eternity that may not exist … "
Elder Du's eyes opened slightly. Her eyes were bright as she murmured to herself, "Pursue the eternity that may not exist? Interesting! This sentence is the lifelong wish of the Shinto Path!
That's right! When the majority of the Shinto Path have enough power and control enough resources and wealth, they dream of shining with the sun and moon, and existing forever like the stars … "
After that, she asked expectantly, "Young man, are you like this old man? Do you dream of breaking through the Shinto Path, breaking the space barrier and entering the outer space to explore the mysteries of the stars and pursue the eternal power?"
Ji Tianxing shook his head and said with a smile, "That is not a dream, just a goal.
Also, the outer space is not that mysterious to me. "
"Oh?" Elder Du's eyes brightened even more. She asked impatiently, "Do you have a deep understanding of the outer space?"
Ji Tianxing nodded and said word by word, "Not only that, because I have entered the outer space."
Elder Du was stunned for a moment. Then she showed a face full of anger and scolded, "Nonsense! Don't think that just because this old man praises you, you will get carried away and start talking nonsense!
You are not a Shinto Path at all. How could you have entered the outer space? "
Ji Tianxing waved his hand and explained, "Elder Du, you are mistaken. I have not been to this outer space, but … the outer space of the lower world."
As he spoke, he pointed at the ground below his feet.
Elder Du suddenly understood and asked, "So, you have ascended from the lower world?"
Ji Tianxing nodded.
Elder Du looked at him with a complicated expression and said in a strange tone, "This is the secret you should keep the most. How can you tell this old man so easily?
Do you know how to deal with the ascenders from the lower world according to the laws of the Kingdom of God? "
Ji Tianxing said with a smile, "What? Does Yan Yongning dare to take me to the mine and work hard for 500 years? "
Elder Du frowned and asked with a serious expression, "You are so arrogant that you dare to despise the Emperor. Are you not afraid of death?"
Ji Tianxing said with a smile, "Who is not afraid of death? But in the Great Yan Empire, I can't die, and no one can kill me. Of course, I am not afraid. "
"You are indeed arrogant." Elder Du smacked his lips and sighed.
Ji Tianxing said with a smile, "You flatter me."
Elder Du was not interested in these topics and quickly changed the topic. "Let's talk about the outer space.
Since you are an ascender and have seen the outer space of the lower world, then tell me, what is the difference between the sun, moon, and stars? "
Ji Tianxing answered concisely, "The Sun and the Moon are also stars. They're just stars that have existed for a longer time than the Sun and Moon."
Elder Du nodded in agreement and asked, "Is the world we are in now also a star? Can it emit light, grow, and move by itself? "
Ji Tianxing answered without hesitation, "Of course it is a star. It can also emit bright golden light …"
