Chapter 117
In the dream, everything around was pure white.
The tip of the pen rubs against the paper, making a rustling sound. One question leads to countless answers, and every answer is correct, which is really elusive.
“…”
So many years have passed. He stopped writing and finally wanted to measure his own time, but he couldn't do it, just like he had experienced more than eight thousand years without realizing it.
Maybe it’s been ten years, because——
Hughes stood up and looked back, only to see mountains of books filling the library hall, all of which were the books he had read and the knowledge he had thought through.
He opened and closed his eyes, feeling the upgrade of his spiritual awareness, turning the elusive consciousness into something tangible.
He had been able to do it a long time ago, although at that time, he had no sense of his own abilities.
Come to think of it, the first time I had this feeling was when I was making the six-cub Wallifer.
At that time, He was about to dissipate. It was clearly consciousness, but it was like a river that was about to flow away. He wanted to catch Him, but consciousness slipped through his fingers like the river.
What will happen if that continues?
Probably the "annihilation of consciousness".
It's probably best described as the extinguishing of a fire. But once you describe it that way, you have to ask who started the fire.
The person who lit the fire must exist, otherwise the fire would not have kept burning for such a long time from ancient times to the present.
——How pitiful.
But thinking of this, Xius's expression suddenly changed, and he couldn't help asking himself: "Why... do I feel that it is pitiful?"
Is it pitiful that consciousness wants to survive?
No, that's not right. Hughes retorted to himself, thinking that he must have been thinking the wrong way.
What is pitiful is the fragility and perishability.
Tenacious survival is not pity.
"Is that so..."
Xius frowned and thought about it, then gave up the idea.
Then he stood up and followed the figure of another person in the library.
Is He... not here?
-
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the bookstore was closed and pedestrians were walking around outside the alley.
Devon the cat didn't watch the store because it was the first time his father was still sleeping so late, and he had to stay in the bedroom to guard his father.
He didn't care much about what was happening in heaven. He only knew that his brothers and sisters were joining forces to challenge his eldest brother.
Well, that's an emotional exchange.
He seemed tired, so he jumped onto the pillow and was about to find a comfortable position to sleep.
And the next second, the space opened up without warning.
The Devon cat immediately became alert, but the first one to come out of the space channel was the familiar dwarf cat.
Devon the cat paused and turned to look.
The kitten jumped onto the bed in two or three steps.
What was the result of the fight? The Devon cat tilted his head and was about to ask the Shorthair cat a question, when suddenly his fur stood up, as if he had been electrocuted, and he opened his eyes wide in disbelief.
The demon god Baal, his elder brother, was actually standing opposite the space channel, but he did not walk into the bedroom.
This was the first time he saw his elder brother look like this, as if he was nervous or hesitant. His fists were unconsciously clenched, and his majestic eyes were trembling slightly.
He waited for a long time before he finally took that step, walked into the bedroom, and walked to the side of his father whom he had been separated from for more than 8,000 years.
The two cats were sitting on each side of the pillow, their minds were not very smart and they had no idea what was going on. Suddenly they found that they had left the bedroom and appeared outside the door.
"Meow?"
The Shorthair and Devon cat looked at each other, as if they understood, and they decided to give their big brother space.
Big brother...seems to have something to say to father.
-
Half an hour passed and the bedroom was quiet.
Bal stood in front of the bed, waiting quietly, his dark green eyes seeming to suppress extremely intense emotions.
After a long time, He finally spoke in a low voice.
"You still did it?"
There was no other person or intelligent creature in front of Him except the sleeping person, so it looked like He was talking to the air.
But His question actually received a response.
A deep and calm voice suddenly sounded, and said concisely: "Yes."
If Eliog or other cats were there, they would definitely recognize that it was Agares' voice.
Just as Eliorg and other demons speculated, Agares had told Bart a way to find their father a long time ago.
This is the cosmic-level magic that they later deduced.
But at first, Bal did not agree, because it would cost a huge price, and Agares would have to take a great risk to grasp that extremely small chance.
However, that is the only way.
At least that's the most likely method Agares has.
Baal could not accept letting Agares take risks, because his father once told him that he was their eldest brother, older and stronger than them, and he must protect his younger brothers and sisters to the best of his ability.
His father's words were gentle and not forceful, but he took them to heart and kept striving to become stronger, to protect each of his brothers and sisters, to keep them all together, without leaving any one behind.
Therefore, even though He knew Agares' omniscience and omnipotence, He still could not agree when Agares proposed that approach.
That day, Agares remained silent, but was unusually stubborn and blunt: He must do this, no matter what the cost, strength, body, life, consciousness, everything, He must accomplish that task.
Since they were born from their father's hands, they have rarely had disagreements. Even if they did, they would never fight over them.
But that time...
The bedroom fell into silence.
"Are you okay?"
Barr suddenly broke the silence.
A few seconds later, an ethereal voice was heard from the other side of the dream.
"fine."
They seemed to be exchanging information, but dreams had serious delays, which made their conversation not very smooth.
A few words slipped out faintly.
"Yes, elves are the most beautiful creations. They are very special creations."
"What you know about the Creator God——"
"There is still one condition missing. Our father is..."
Outside the room, the two cats blinked their eyes. Although they didn't know what happened inside, they felt that it should be a good thing.
My father has been looking forward to my eldest brother coming home for a long time. Today my eldest brother is finally back. My father will definitely be very happy!
But things seemed to be different from what they thought.
After knowing the key information, their eldest brother actually turned around and stepped into the space channel, as if... he had no intention of reuniting with his father?
If they saw it, they would definitely meow.
Fortunately, the delay in the dream was not serious at this time, and Agares' voice sounded in time.
"You're leaving just like that?"
“…”
The demon paused slightly, as if hesitating about something.
"Are you still blaming yourself?"
Suddenly, lightning flashed around the demon god, and he seemed to be shaken.
"Self-blame", the younger brothers and sisters believed that because he failed to protect his father back then, he had blamed himself for more than 8,000 years. In fact, it was true, but it was more serious than they imagined. Only Agares really knew what happened.
"There's no rush for that. Why don't you stay a little longer."
The question was too direct, even though I already knew the answer.
And the next sentence makes the air warm up again.
——"Bar, are you running away?"
The demon froze in place, and finally turned around after a few seconds, as if his actions had denied the other party's doubts. He was not running away.
"Then stay."
"Father wants to see you, just as you want to see Father."
“…”
-
Around four o'clock in the afternoon, Zeus slowly opened his eyes, his black pupils faintly glowing with green light.
He seemed to have sensed something. Before he got up, he looked to the left and saw—
"Bar?!"
Xius woke up in an instant and doubted his own eyes.
He saw a mighty golden tiger guarding beside him, staring at him with its wild tiger eyes, reflecting only his silhouette.
Xius was dumbfounded and extremely excited. When he woke up, his eldest cub was back home!
He couldn't wait to sit up, but the big golden tiger was one step ahead of him. Its big furry paws gently pressed on his other side, and it stretched out its head to rub against Xiu Si affectionately. Due to its huge size, its movements seemed to knock people down, and its four paws surrounded people from all sides, trapping its father firmly underneath.
The two cats outside heard the noise, and out of worry, they quietly pushed the door open, and then were shocked.
Big brother is going to crush father, meow!
