"The Son of the Stars is the hope of the Deity Race. Just as I told you before, even the Deity Race has an end to their lifespan. Compared to those stupid Ancient Gods, the Deity Race is much more intelligent. However, after gaining intelligence, the Deity Race also gained emotions. "Ancient One stood up and gazed at the orange sun.
"Birth, aging, sickness, death, joy, anger, sorrow, and joy. All of this is something we must experience for ordinary people. To be honest, I'm known as the most powerful Paragon Sorcerer in history. However, I still can't escape this karmic cycle. I have love and hate. I have things I like and yearn for. There are also things I hate and hate. "
"I used to be extremely afraid of death because death is unknown. Perhaps you've been to Hell and met a Lord like Mephisto. Perhaps you've seen wandering souls in Hell, but are they really the ultimate form of death? "Ancient One shook his head.
"Actually, no one knows what death really looks like. Perhaps we came from the Singularity, and will eventually return to it. If death is the beginning of another adventure, then death won't be so scary. "
Li Jie agreed with Ancient One because Li Jie knew that Ancient One wasn't someone who was afraid of death. For someone with extraordinary strength like him, if he was afraid of death and wanted to live forever, then he would probably do all sorts of things that would threaten the world.
"But it's not easy to let go of your mind and accept death. There's an old saying that death is the only thing that's difficult throughout the ages. These words also apply to the Deity Race. Especially the Deity Race, there's a big difference between us and the Deity Race. "Ancient One began to speak of the key point of the entire matter.
"What's the difference?" Li Jie asked at the right time.
"They don't have children. To put it simply, the Deity Race can't have children. The Deity Race was born from the Ancient Gods. After the Deity Race dies, their bodies will split into what we understand as gods, or rather, the embryonic forms of these gods. However, these people are not the descendants of the gods, and some gods will even treat these split off gods as parasites in their own bodies. "
"Death is very scary, especially when you have an almost infinite lifespan and think that you are immortal, but in the end, you find that you will eventually face death. What's more tragic is that you have unparalleled power, but you can't have your own descendants. As I said before, the gods also have their own emotions. Zhang Tiansheng understood everything and realized that he would eventually be eliminated. Just like those ancient gods. Their actions will only benefit others. There are some heavenly deities who are unable to accept all of this. "
Li Jie began to understand the hidden meaning behind Ancient One's words.
"So it's like a rich person with a lot of money. Maybe he worked hard for his whole life, but in the end, he found out that he earned a lot of money, but in the end, it was all for naught? "Li Jie used his own understanding of the problem regarding Kami.
"Yes, you're right. That's roughly what it means. Back then, Zhang Heng held the Divine Spear and talked with the Goddess for a long time. Everything I know came from Zhang Heng's manuscripts, which were the most confidential documents of the Holy Shield Brotherhood. There were some stories about the God Slayer Mech. "Ancient One transmitted the story to the God Slayer Mech mentioned in Newton's manuscripts.
"The heavenly deities realized that their lifespan was coming to an end, and that it was not the time for them to live endlessly. The heavenly deities were divided into two factions. One faction believed that everything that happened to them originated from the explosion of the Cosmic Flame (Singularity). Just like how the ancient gods split off from the other gods, this was all a natural cycle of the universe. There was no need to worry too much about your own people. Where there is life, there must be death. This is just a cycle. These natural cycle faction's heavenly deities calmly faced the coming final end. "
"However, some heavenly deities did not think so. They thought that they were very strong. Their own race should continue to live. They were not willing to die like this, and they were even more unwilling that those intelligent beings who were weaker than them could live longer. They were the radical faction. "
"The conflict between the two factions among the heavenly deities became more and more intense. In the end, the only way to resolve these conflicts was through force. The natural cycle faction and the radical faction began a long war. The radical faction searched for a way to achieve eternal life, but the natural cycle faction did not allow them to do so. They believed that doing so would destroy the balance of the universe. The final war erupted. And the God Slayer Mech was created at that time. "
"Zhang Heng's manuscripts did not mention which faction had created the God Slayer Mech. Perhaps Zhang Heng did not record it, or perhaps the female Empyrean did not tell him about it. However, one thing was certain. The God Slayer Mech was very powerful. There were as many heavenly deities in Chongqing as there were stars in the universe. At its peak, there were more than a million heavenly deities. However, after the war, the God Slayer Mech slaughtered the heavenly deities until only a few hundred were left. Newton went to search for the remains of the God Slayer Mech. He decided to rebuild the God Slayer Mech and use it to protect Earth when necessary. "
Li Jie frowned slightly. "But didn't Zhang Heng make a deal with the female Empyrean in exchange for a million years of peace on Earth? And what is the meaning of the Son of Stars in the sun? "
"A million years was just Zhang Heng's excuse. Do you know a saying in China? It is called: If our generation does not have the ability to solve this problem, then we will temporarily put it aside and leave it until our future generations have the ability to solve this problem. "
Li Jie opened his mouth, but found that he could not say anything. He really did not expect that the saying "put aside the debate when the poor are poor, and the rich are rich" had appeared since ancient times.
"As for the Son of Stars, that is actually the last resort of the radical faction. They finally thought of a way to preserve their descendants. The Son of Stars has another name, the Empyrean egg. It lives in the sun and will break out of its shell after a million years. The entire sun, including the solar system, will become its food. Just like when a caterpillar or an egg hatches, it will eat the entire eggshell. That will be its first food. "
Li Jie somewhat understood what Newton wanted to do, but he still had to ask the questions that needed to be asked. "But in a million years, humans will probably have left Earth. They will not even set foot in the solar system again. Isn't what Newton did too radical? "
Ancient One shook her head. "Radical? No? In fact, the Natural Circulation Party did something even more radical. "
"What is it?"
"They trained a Planet Devourer to go to various universes and devour all the Empyrean eggs! Why did the female Empyrean agree to Zhang Heng's condition of a million years? Because they need a group of guardians to stand up before the Empyrean eggs are eaten. The sun is the light of hope for us humans. Even though our technology has advanced, without the sun, Earth's civilization will eventually perish. The female Empyrean placed humans and the Empyrean eggs on the same scale. "
"That is why Newton needed the God Slayer mecha. Whether it is to deal with the Planet Devourer or the Son of Stars that might break out of its shell early. We all need the last bit of power. "
Ancient One's words finally allowed Li Jie to understand everything. At this moment, he also began to make connections.
Did Clark's homeworld, the planet where Herberlon was located, encounter all of this? The Planet Devourer that devoured the Empyrean eggs just ate their homeworld along the way.
At this moment, Li Jie felt that it was very absurd. "Ha! So our civilization is being used as a chess piece? Billions of lives are not comparable to a so-called Empyrean egg? "
Ancient One's face was expressionless. "Yes, in the eyes of the Empyrean."
