Chapter 264: A Mayfly in the World
Hearing what He said, Xu Lingqu raised his eyelids: "What do you mean?"
He just smiled without saying anything. At this time, the dozen or so light spots watching around him gradually grew larger, and then took on human forms. They must have felt that this would be more convenient for communicating with Xu Lingqu.
The images they manifest are both male and female, and their attire is different but very distinctive. One can vaguely guess their divine authority from their appearance.
A brightly dressed man replaced the one who had spoken to Xu Lingqu at the beginning and walked up to him. "Come to think of it, we've met before. To be more precise, I met you unilaterally. You really are..."
He had green hair, like a lawn on his head, with several small flowers of different colors and even small saplings growing on it. He was also wearing colorful clothes, and the base fabric seemed to be made of the skin textures of different lives sewn together.
In short, He seems to be full of vitality, and it is clear that His authority is related to this aspect.
"I haven't seen peacocks very often." Xu Lingqu looked at him.
There was obvious disdain in his tone, so there was no need for her to be nice to him.
"Hmph." Green Peacock tossed his hair in disdain. "Your level of civilization simply can't accept my divine presence... I simply used a little of my consciousness to look at you!"
"It was the time when you turned into a bug, so disgusting." A person with a fiery red body interrupted.
The other Him, whose arms and legs clearly bore Zerg characteristics, slapped the fiery red Him: "Who are you calling disgusting?"
Xu Lingqu glanced at this god whose authority was closely tied to the Zerg, then turned to Green Peacock: "Are you referring to the queen?"
The green peacock nodded unhappily. "Your way of treating life is truly disrespectful and rude. Death requires artistic beauty. This is the greatness of life!"
At that time, He was curious about the progress of Xu Lingqu's path to becoming a god, and specially allocated a part of His consciousness to the body of the queen insect.
I just want to observe it up close, to see what kind of warmth this reserve god of war and killing will show after being endowed with humanity.
The result was that he was hacked to pieces, and he could only use part of his consciousness at that time, so he was completely unable to fight back.
The green peacock still feels scared when he thinks about it now.
"So you have been monitoring my every move all along." Xu Lingqu's eyes swept over each of them.
The leading "He" nodded. "We are all very concerned about your progress in becoming a god. As I just said, we are not in conflict with each other. We... in a sense, are comrades forced together."
He raised his hand while facing Xu Lingqu's cold gaze, and the dozen or so pillars in the temple made a loud noise like thunder.
The sky here was illuminated by several purple lightning bolts. Xu Lingqu could see clearly that it was like an infinitely extended pillar supporting a transparent barrier. Beyond the barrier was the abyss-like outer space.
"We, the Alliance of the Occult Gods, or so-called gods, come from different interstellar civilizations... I was the first to appear here. According to your Earthly time measurement, that was over a hundred thousand years ago. I was chosen by the artifact and possessed godhood. After passing its test, I came here."
"To understand the situation, I've spent the past hundred thousand years searching for the source of the artifact and trying to understand what lies beyond the universe. Could our universe also be a small one? Ultimately, my understanding is the same as yours—incomprehensible."
They are like mayflies in the universe, a speck of dust in the vast ocean. The universe is endless, and the pursuit of truth and reality is also endless. They are both lucky and unfortunate.
For ordinary and short lives, the ending is "knowledge cannot be obtained suddenly, and the echo is left to the sad wind." But from another perspective, perhaps they will also be imprisoned forever by the truth and facts that cannot be understood.
"Fortunately, although I have made zero progress in understanding the truth over the past hundred thousand years, I have gained many companions. We had a few fights in the beginning, but we later realized they were useless."
"We hold different powers in this universe, and there are differences in strength. This is determined by the amount and strength of the powers we hold. However, we cannot severely injure or destroy each other. In certain interstellar civilizations, we will have our own believers."
"The stronger the faith, the more likely we are to perform divine descent there. Therefore, we have very little to do with certain civilizations, while we often have the opportunity to visit other civilizations.
"This is a rare opportunity. After all, our true selves are imprisoned here after becoming gods. Becoming a god grants us supreme power and authority, but it also places us in extremely heavy shackles."
"We have to hold on here. Even though I haven't seen any enemies in these hundreds of thousands of years, we have to fight against something here—for example, against the unknown."
Xu Lingqu looked at the transparent barrier above his head, wondering what he was thinking.
"When you were still the commander of the Anlilith Galaxy and we were still observing you, you had actually already discovered us."
He spoke in the form of a woman. His skirt was made up of a flowing black river, and every strand of hair turned into a silver needle at the end.
"We have to admit that we did find you with the intention of finding a powerful teammate, but while we were observing you, you had already been staring back at us."
"When we found you later, you weren't surprised by our presence at all. You were also asked to send the cosmic announcement about your deification."
His authority is truth and insight.
"When you were sweeping across tens of thousands of civilizations and defeated Anos, you actually already knew of the existence of the artifact. You planned to become a god. It was because of this thought that Yu Jin was able to survive."
"However, the position of the sole divine handle of the Iron Throne was not enough for you, and you did not have the godhood of the God of Destiny at that time. Therefore, we found the Holy Coffin for you and gave you war and slaughter."
"It seems war and slaughter are still not enough for you. After learning about the mechanics of the Holy Coffin, you decided to take a risk and exploit a bug, hoping to see if you could gain another authority during your godhood."
"We can't interfere too much while we're telling you about your path to godhood. If someone seeks revenge on you at this time, you'll have to deal with it on your own."
"You were the one who specifically asked us to issue the notice. I was wondering why you did that. You were certain that the surviving Ember would seek revenge on you... You knew it could only carry the Iron Throne due to its contamination. You were very confident in yourself, believing you absolutely had the ability to kill Ember and that you wouldn't fail in following the path of the God of Destiny."
"It's just that you didn't expect that your adjutant, in order to facilitate your path to becoming a god of war and slaughter, would choose Earth's human race, a civilization rich in humanity but too weak."
"In a sense, your adjutant is not wrong. As the commander-in-chief of Planet Anlilith, you were too cold-blooded. If it weren't for the extreme circumstances of Earth's doomsday, you wouldn't be able to achieve the conditions required to become a deity of the God of War and Slaughter."
If it is true as He said, it is basically equivalent to Him as the commander during the period on the planet Anlilith, who had already made arrangements for his path to becoming the God of the Three Powers, and He subsequently succeeded. This was a result of both the path He paved for Himself and a combination of coincidences.
Commander Xu Lingqu, who once spared the life of Ember, predicted that it would come back with the Iron Throne for revenge, which brought about the doomsday of mankind on Earth and also made Xu Lingqu's path to becoming a god of war and killing. Therefore, Xu Lingqu, who was endowed with a certain humanity, would inevitably choose to come back to end the doomsday and fight against Ember.
The cause and effect here are perfectly connected and linked together, and because of this, Xu Lingqu possesses the divinity of the God of Destiny.
The destiny of the God of War and Killing is to bring about war and killing, and to stop war and killing with violence. To end such a destiny, one must become destiny itself - to hold the power of the God of Destiny in one's hands.
Xu Lingqu had no memory of being the commander of An Lilith Star, but she knew herself, so when Yu Jin talked about some of the things she had done as the commander, Xu Lingqu could easily tell the lies.
Now, listening to everything the God of Truth and Insight said, Xu Lingqu had no desire to refute, because she could really do everything He said, as long as she was cold-blooded and ruthless enough.
"No matter what, you are formally welcome to join us and become a member of the Alliance of the Gods of the Universe." The leader extended his hand to Xu Lingqu.
Xu Lingqu looked at the hand He extended to him, was silent for a while, and finally shook it.
"Am I able to use the power of the God of Destiny now?" she asked.
"Theoretically, no. You must awaken one final time within the Holy Coffin and become the God of the Three Powers," He said. "But right here, you can try once. Consider it our welcome gift to you."
"After you're done, you'll need to return to your human body. My advice is to immediately abandon your human life and enter the third Holy Coffin sleep process. After all, the longer you delay, the more variables there will be, and the more uncontrollable the future will become. Most of us in Xuanluo and on Earth will be unable to help you."
"I understand." Xu Ling said, "Now give me the gift."
After she finished speaking, Xu Lingqu's body was suddenly filled with a mysterious power. It was an indescribable feeling. The fate of trillions of lives turned into tiny silver threads flowing in her palm, allowing her to control them.
This is the power of the God of Destiny.
Xu Lingqu concentrated his mind and selected the fate of the human beings on Earth.
The representative of the gods frowned: "You..."
He knew what Xu Lingqu was going to do. She wanted to change the fate of the human beings on Earth, but the God of Destiny could not change fate in essence, he could only end it. So Xu Lingqu decided to share the power of destiny in her hands with the human beings on Earth.
madman.
The green peacock spoke bluntly, "Are you sick? Dividing your own authority, how is this any different from self-harm?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a small strand of silver thread in Xu Lingqu's hand was forcibly separated by her, and they headed towards the beautiful and tiny blue planet in the depths of the universe. The fate of the human beings on Earth belonged to every human being on Earth.
At this moment, Xu Lingqu was being attacked by power and was feeling the burning pain. She did not show it on her face as she did not want to be discovered by these gods, but the god of power and pain beside her felt it.
God of Pain: ...
How to say it: "About the time I accidentally discovered that my super-powerful new colleague is incredibly stubborn."
The situation had almost calmed down, and the time for the God of Destiny's reality experience card had also ended. The divine power faded from her. Xu Lingqu looked at the representative of the gods beside her and asked, "Can I leave now?"
The representative of the gods looked at her with a complicated expression: "Of course, I look forward to the day when we meet again."
After saying this, Xu Lingqu disappeared from the temple.
Green Peacock shook his head: "This is the first time I've seen someone who harms himself after gaining power."
"But doing so also means her path to becoming the God of War and Slaughter is secure." The representative of the gods chuckled. "If she wants to do so, then let her do it."
-
Liuming was in tears as he looked at Xu Lingqu, who was completely unconscious on the iron throne. The four hours a day that he could maintain consciousness were about to expire.
What will Lingqu do during this time when it is forced to shut down?!
Just when it was anxious to go to Earth for reinforcements, Xu Lingqu woke up.
She suddenly opened her eyes, and the memories of the God of Destiny's journey to godhood and her conversations with the Alliance of the Gods of Olympus filled her mind. The huge amount of information caused her to crash for several minutes.
But he soon came back to his senses after hearing Lumen's crying.
She entered the cockpit and reassured him, "I'm fine."
The moon has completely returned to normal, and the Iron Throne is slowly disappearing.
Xu Lingqu drove Baihuasha into space.
From this position, the blue planet was clearly visible to her. As Yu Jin was killed by her, all the mutant beasts on the planet disappeared in an instant.
The remaining evolved humans and the infected humans who were not dead have returned to normal status, and the infected land and supplies have gradually returned to normal.
All these wonderful things made the humans in the doomsday base at a loss. Then an even more magical scene appeared. Those who died in the doomsday turned into a white light and reappeared beside their closest people.
This 11-year doomsday was like a nightmare to them. When they woke up, all the suffering disappeared, and the beauty that they lost in the dream also returned to all of them when they woke up.
The miracle of fate was unfolding on this blue planet. Xu Lingqu sat in the cockpit of Baihuasha and watched all this. The pain of losing part of her power had not yet disappeared and was still aching inside her body.
"Lingqu, what happened?" Liu Ming asked curiously.
"Nothing." Xu Lingqu blinked.
For the humans on Earth, it was just a breeze blowing on everyone's shoulders, brushing away a speck of dust.
The end of Earth has come.
"Are we going back? My time is up today, Lingqu." Liu Ming had little time left and was in anxiety.
Xu Lingqu fell back onto the cockpit seat and said in a serious tone, "Luminous, goodbye."
Liu Ming was confused: "Do you mean see you tomorrow?"
"No." Xu Lingqu shook his head, "I don't know when we can meet again."
She was about to end her life this time and enter the third holy coffin to sleep.
Liuming immediately started crying, but this time his crying did not earn him any comfort from Xu Lingqu. She just sat there quietly, not knowing what she was thinking.
Liu Ming was very angry for a moment and shouted: "I hate you!"
"You are really a particularly bad master. You are the one I hate the most now!"
"You are more annoying than the Milky Way. I don't like you anymore. Do I want to say goodbye to you? I don't want to see you again."
Xu Lingqu listened to it vent its emotions, and said a few seconds before the lumen time was up: "But you will always be my favorite mecha."
At this time in the Xuanluo Galaxy, just after midnight, Master Duanmeng's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he quickly got up and went to the laboratory.
Luminar's life data showed that its consciousness had returned, but Xu Lingqu had not returned.
Master Dream Forging hurriedly activated Lumen's life form to find out what happened, but the moment Lumen regained consciousness, he saw it breaking down and crying.
"How can I talk to her like this? I love her the most."
Inside Baihuasha, Xu Lingqu calmly activated the mecha's self-destruct program after Liuming left.
In the end, she still didn't tell Lumina that the Holy Coffin was on the church island on the neutral star. If she told it, it would spend all the rest of its time waiting for her.
Waiting is really a very torturous thing. Xu Lingqu is not sure when she will be resurrected from the holy coffin. She hopes that her life after Liu Ming will not be wasted waiting for her.
Thinking of this, Xu Lingqu suddenly remembered the promise she made to Shen Shouli. At that time, she didn't know what happened later. She said that she would go back and let him have some confidence in her.
Will he wait for her forever because of this?
Xu Lingqu suddenly realized that he had always been cruel to Shen Shouli.
But there is no good remedy now.
With a loud bang, the self-destructing Baihuasha exploded in the universe, like fireworks in space, fleeting. The fragments of Baihuasha also turned into powder, scattered in space, and flowed with the galaxy, with no one knowing where they went.
