At this moment, Sandora was tailing Icetis's family's servant who was in charge of cooking. She was using the excuse of helping to destroy the Pervert Goddess' kitchen utensils at high speed. My urgent summoning saved Icetis's family's dinner. She should be thanking me.
My older sister, Sandora, Shallow Shallow, Lin Xue, and Icetis's family of three. A large group of people gathered in the dimly lit hall. This was out of my expectations. It would seem that everyone was curious as to what God Father would tell me when he asked me to stay behind alone.
"As far as I can remember, the only time I've ever been asked to stay behind by God Father was when I smashed Uncle Sauvarese's Light Wheel when I was young. At that time, I was lectured for an entire afternoon." Icetis told me honestly why she was so curious about my past. "That's why I really want to know what God Father would normally say when he asked someone to stay behind alone."
"I'm sorry, but you probably won't be interested in the content." I glanced at this well-known problem child in the Gods, and then picked the main points. I told her everything that God Father had told me, about his "recent" research on the origin of the Chaos Abyss over the past several tens of thousands of years.
Since I didn't really understand all of those complicated theories, I was afraid that I would mislead Sandora if I left anything out. That was why I told her everything exactly as it was, without leaving out any details. I basically told her everything that God Father had told me. After more than half an hour, I finally finished telling her all of the complicated theories that made my scalp numb. My mouth was parched.
Icetis immediately revealed an expression of disappointment. She huffed and fell into Aunty Ashali's arms. "Ahh, it really is such boring stuff. No wonder I've been seeing the Old Geezer Alliance holding meetings night after night recently … I hate this kind of pure theory lessons the most!"
Sandora didn't care about Icetis twisting her words out of boredom. She sank into deep thought after listening to my narration. It was obvious that the origin and nature of the Chaos Abyss was one of the ultimate pieces of knowledge that the Xiling Empire had never been able to obtain. Even during the most glorious era of the old Empire, they probably didn't know such a level of truth. God Father's information was so sudden that it was enough to shock even the leader of the Empire. Our entire race's tens of thousands of years of tireless research, and the fruits of our efforts (if they ever existed) that were destroyed due to the collapse of the old Empire, had actually fallen into our hands so easily?
Since I was connected to Sandora's mind, I could easily sense the agitation in the golden-haired girl beside me. I should be honest. At first, I wasn't as moved as Sandora was. After all, a leader of the Empire who had only recently become an Empire couldn't possibly be compared to the true Shiring Apostles who had tens of thousands of years of emotional ties with their own race. It was difficult for me to empathize with Sandora's feelings about this matter. However, just the agitation I could feel from our mental connection was enough for me to understand how great of a blow this truth was to Her Majesty the Queen.
"I didn't expect this." Sandora shook her head lightly. "So this is the truth. Since God Father personally verified it, there shouldn't be any problems. It's just that I didn't expect that the answer to the question that so many Shiring Apostles have been searching for their entire lives would be presented to me in such a manner today … Ah Jun, this is too sudden. Can't you give me some time to prepare? "
It was rare for Sandora to have such a willful side to her. I could only pinch her nose dotingly while understanding her dilemma in my heart. It wasn't in the busy research center, nor was it in the strict command room. It wasn't even in an official meeting of the higher-ups of the Osiris Parliament. Instead, it was in the atmosphere of a family chat and the ultimate secret that had troubled the Empire for tens of thousands of years was revealed just like that. Punching cotton and spitting on your moral integrity, how powerless is this?
"The Chaos Abyss comes from Order. This is something that I have never heard of before." Uncle Khuyin still maintained a calm and appropriate expression, but his expression was a little unnatural. It was apparent that this news was only being circulated among the higher-ups of the Osiris Parliament as the 'Old Men Alliance' that Icetis mentioned. Although it might not be a top secret, it wasn't open to all members of the Protoss. This was also the first time that Uncle Khuyin knew that God Father had such a research conclusion. The shock in his heart was probably no less than ours. It was just that his upbringing allowed him to restrain himself well. I also didn't know if it was right for me to recklessly publicize everything that God Father had told me. "We have been guessing in the opposite direction, but I didn't expect the truth to be behind us."
"Dad, don't be so sour."
Icetis raised her head from her mother's embrace and retorted rudely to Uncle Khuyin. Right now, not to mention the dignity of a High-tier Goddess, she didn't even have the bearing of a Hoodlum Leader. She had completely turned into a troublesome girl who liked to show off. To be able to behave in such a manner in front of us meant that Icetis really didn't regard the head of the Empire as an outsider. However, I really didn't know where to place my eyes on. Please understand how much of an emotional outburst a young lady would produce when she was acting cute …
"What a pity. Although this truth is exciting, it is unable to bring about any substantial benefits to the Empire."
Sandora had already swiftly calmed down from the short period of shock. A regretful glint flickered in her ocean-blue eyes. She had already seen through the other message hidden in this huge surprise.
"If the birth of the Abyss is the effect of the Void's' Returning to Zero ', then there is absolutely no way for us to stop this process. As long as the world is still being born, there will be remnants like the Abyss appearing. According to Godfather's theory, not to mention avoiding these remnants, we don't even have a way to reduce the remnants."
"The process of Order inevitably means' non-Order '. The so-called Abyss is essentially the materialization of the Void's desire to' Return to Zero '. Everything returning to zero, this is really …" Uncle Khuyin shook his head emotionally. "This has already touched upon the essence of the Void. Even the Protoss is powerless to reshape the entire Void. Human King Sandora, you have indeed hit the nail on the head."
"Forget it, let's not dwell on this problem anymore." Sandora exhaled and shook her head forcefully. Her blonde hair shone brightly, as though a young girl had thrown her worries to the back of her head. "Ah Jun, what about the other matter?"
"Oh, now I don't think that matter is that urgent anymore." I reached out to scratch the back of my head and as usual, I scratched Mercury Lamp's little head. "That, Godfather said that I'm not a human but a Void Creature. Do any of you know what a Void Creature is? He asked me to leave right after he said that and didn't even explain it clearly. "
After I said that a little gloomily, I suddenly realized that the atmosphere in the hall had suddenly changed.
Shallow Shallow still had that bored and confused look on her face. She, who wasn't interested in these topics, lowered her head and dozed off. Even when she heard that her boyfriend was suddenly not a human, she didn't raise her head to look. In this lass's logic, 'Ah Jun' + 'alive' was everything that could make her feel at ease. The other matters weren't as important as playing and sleeping. The elder sister still had that healing smile on her face, just that there was deep concern and a little confusion on her face. As for the ones who caused the atmosphere to change, it was the others: Sandora, Icetis, Uncle Khuyin and Auntie Ashali.
At this moment, Lin Xue also raised her head and looked over to our side blankly. No one knew what she was thinking about.
Obviously, the meaning of the words' Void Creature 'was known to many people here and Lin Xue probably had a premonition of something.
"Err, Chen, are you sure?" Icetis was the first to break the silence. She raised her hand hesitantly. "Father said that you are a Void Creature?"
Sandora came forward and pinched my body. Her eyes even started to shine with blue light. This lass was using 132 types of energy radars to do a CT scan on her boyfriend. I felt all the hairs on my body standing up.
"How is that possible!" Before I could reply, Icetis shouted herself. "Void Creature … How can it be so easy to meet a Void Creature! This is something that is taught in university as a theory class. Father actually said that you are a Void Creature? "
"I am 100% sure that he is a physical creature!" Sandora pinched my waist. "I scanned Ah Jun from head to toe. I didn't miss any part of his body. Where is there any trace of a Void Creature?"
Hearing that, I quickly reached out to cover Sandora's mouth. "Don't be like that in broad daylight …"
Big Sister purposely stood up to give her little brother a smack on the head while Sandora bit me.
"Then, stop talking in riddles. At least tell me, what is a Void Creature?"
"Do you really want to know?" Uncle Kvain came back to his senses from his shock. At that moment, he looked at me with a weird expression. So everyone here knows what is going on and you are bullying an illiterate person like me?
"Don't misunderstand, Chen. It is just that this point of knowledge is a little too explosive." Icetis subconsciously stroked her luxurious silver hair that reached her ankles. It was rare for her to choose her words carefully. "Let me put it this way. A Void Creature, as the name suggests, is a 'life' that is born directly from the Void. Take note of one point. Under normal circumstances, any life is born in the world. Even us, the Protoss, are born in the God Realm. What is born from the Void should be the world. Life and the Void are separated by a layer called the hotbed of the world. However, for a situation like Void Creature, which can only appear in theory, the Void directly gives birth to a consciousness. "
I was momentarily stunned. Then, I was overjoyed. "What the heck? Am I going to defy the heavens?"
The female pervert pouted. "Don't even think about it. It is impossible in this book."
I grinned. "I'm definitely going to delete that sentence!"
While I was bickering with Bryndis, Uncle Kvain kept sizing me up from head to toe until I felt my hair stand on end from being stared at by a man. Then, the uncle opened his mouth and said, "Void creatures do appear, but the probability of them appearing is so low that it's theoretically possible. In theory, there are two types of Void Creatures. The first type is known as the Will of the Void. "
Bindis took it. "It's the will of the Void itself. Don't stare at me. Due to the nature of the Void, theoretically, it is impossible for it to appear in any rational state. However, don't forget that it is the source of everything. It encompasses all possibilities and impossibilities. In the Void, the probability of anything happening is zero. However, under zero probability, anything can happen. It is just that contradictory. Because in the Void, what happens and what doesn't happen is the same state. Thus, whether the Will of the Void appears or not is also the same thing. Under the support of this inexplicable theory, the first type of Void Creature appeared. It represents the Void itself, or rather, the rational side of the Void after it is partially personified … "
"Today is really a disaster day for the illiterate."
I raised my hand to signal for a pause in my dizziness. I started to organize Icetis's explanation. I knew that this stuff was considered as basic knowledge in the textbooks of compulsory education in the God Realm. However, it was obvious that it wasn't prepared for the wisdom of mortals.
Jingle crawled out of the pocket that she was hiding in. Halfway up, she fell to the ground. "Jingle … Jingle, go rest … So scary. Going to class is so scary …"
The idiotic Goddess who deserved to take makeup exams for the rest of her life escaped from the classroom. Icetis continued, "The Will of the Void is the most powerful thing. It is superior to all existences that can be described and cannot be described. It is the Void itself, but it has more self-control than the Void. In terms of status, the Will of the Void is at the pinnacle in theory …"
I was overjoyed as I listened. I thought to myself that I was really going to defy the heavens. I hurriedly confirmed, "Then, has this Will of the Void ever appeared before?"
"Of course, Father is one of them." Icetis replied casually. Then, she smiled as she watched me flustered in the wind.
"You probably don't know this, but Father isn't a God. He is the commander of the Star Field's Protoss, but he isn't any kind of God. He is different from any other existence. He doesn't have any power, because his power is superior to the concept of 'power'. The Star Field's Gods will say that the Lord is everywhere. This is a prayer dedicated to Father, because he is the Void — — or at least one side of the Void. Thus, everything in the world is equal to Father, and Father is equal to everything in the world. Because of this, Father is the only existence that can directly research the Void, and even make certain changes to the Void. However, he is only one side of the Void, so he created the Gods to assist him in his work, such as purifying the Abyss. This is the truth of the God Realm. "
The big sister's mouth opened slightly. After a long while, she said uncertainly, "Can such a secret be casually told?"
Icetis waved her hand. "The Creation Chapters can be read for free in any library. Back in elementary school, my first lesson was the story of Father. Although this is the most fundamental truth of the God Realm, it is just like the name of the founding leader. It is common knowledge."
Alright, alright, Father was too high class. He wasn't the GM, he was the GM's biological father. So, I was talking directly to the Void this afternoon?
Even though Father was only an individual that was materialized from a certain state of the Void, the true body of that "God" still caused me to be dumbfounded. Then, I started to endlessly fantasize about my own identity — if the Void Creatures were the Void itself, then I would definitely be able to defy the heavens today!
"Ah Jun, you're drooling." Sandora took out a handkerchief and wiped the corner of my mouth. "Don't think about it. There are only two Origin Wills. One is Father, and the other is the leader of the Huron Protoss. You won't be able to become one."
"Can't you let me think about it a little longer?" I rubbed the corner of my mouth. "I know it won't be as good as that, but it's nice to fantasize about it. Back in the day, when I received a 200,000 yuan scam, I had to read it for two hours before deleting it — Err, Icetis, continue. The first type of Void Creature is the Origin Wills. I can't count on this, but what about the second type? At the very least, it has to be something incredible, right? "
I subconsciously thought that even if there were two types of Void Creatures, the difference between them shouldn't be too great. After all, their level is the same. They are both born directly from the Void, something that is one level higher than the world on the "Ladder of Creation". As the Origin Wills, Father definitely wasn't fooling me when he determined that I was a Void Creature. However, in terms of ability, a Void state that couldn't even form facial features definitely couldn't reach the level of Father. Without a doubt, I should be the second type that Uncle Kvain mentioned just now. That's right, the second type …
"As for the second type …" Icetis smiled evilly and kept me in suspense. Then, she pointed at my nose. "I'm afraid that I'll have to disappoint you. The second type of Void Creature is known as: Stillborn."
I looked for a brick on the spot. I might not be your opponent with my bare fists, but I don't believe that I can't beat you with a brick!
"Hey, hey, hey, calm down." A certain female hooligan who spouted nonsense waved her hands at me with a smile. She didn't seem to be apologetic at all. "Don't get agitated. This is just a common name. In class, we usually call the second type of Void Creature as' Precursors of an Unfinished World '. This is a theoretical situation. Everyone knows that a world can be born from the Void and a world is a self-sustaining system where the various Orders are entangled around an information explosion point. Then, with the protection of the World Barrier, it forms a stable state for a period of time. This is a normal situation. However, if there is a normal situation, there must be an accident. If an accident happened during the process of the system's self-creation … For example, the various Orders didn't match up properly and a loophole appeared on the World Barrier. Or, what's worse is that it forms a World Barrier but the information explosion point within it isn't enough to form all living things in the world. In the end, it forms an empty shell. The outermost layer is the Void, followed by a layer of World Barrier. In the end, it is still the Void inside. These Universes that die prematurely are all stillborn. "
Just as I was about to speak, Icetis waved her hand forcefully to indicate that there was more to come.
"Of course, the dead fetus in this situation isn't a Void Creature. Under normal circumstances, a world that fails to evolve will be devoured by the Void. They are full of loopholes and the various Orders contradict each other. Against the corrosion of Void energy, they have no way to fight back. In fact, based on our current observations, all 'dead fetus' of worlds will be devoured unless a theoretical situation occurs: 'Life' has already been born in the dead world. Life here is in a broad sense. It doesn't have to be a physical organism like humans. It might just be a consciousness. Even if it's the simplest consciousness, even if it's just a flash of inspiration from the dead world, as long as this consciousness realizes its own existence and realizes the difference between life and death … a miracle will happen.
This consciousness will fuse with the remains of the world and then fuse with the Void that is invading its body. Bit by bit, it will use the Void to reconstruct its own form … In the end, the remains of the world will melt away like a physical body soaked in a potion. The remaining soul will then form a brand new life — it might be a non-physical life because after going through such a process, no one can say for sure if it still has a body. This new life will be the second type of Void Creature. It was born in a world that died prematurely. The Void and the soul at its core form its body. In theory, it has already been assimilated by the Void, but in reality, it is still thinking. This knowledge took up 20 points in the graduation exam … "
I knew that Icetis' last sentence was an attempt to liven up the atmosphere, but such a method was obviously too stupid. I didn't even have the time to comment on what class those 20 points were. Instead, I was thinking about a question: So, according to Godfather, I am the will of a world that has failed to evolve?
If I view the world as a body, then in mysticism, the will of the world … let's temporarily call it Gaia (no mistake about it) is the soul. And what Godfather means is that I am a Gaia that has failed to evolve. I lost my body before I was born, but not only did I not die, I even managed to cultivate and become a spirit!?
I felt like I was in a whirlwind today. Two major events had happened today. The first was that I now knew what the Chaos Abyss was. The second was that I no longer knew what I was!
