Chapter 18
A star field was originally full of bright stars, with billions of light points twinkling quietly in the void. When the owner of the star field returned, all the stars suddenly burst out with dazzling light, as if the entire star field was happy about her return.
However, the light was fleeting. One star dimmed first, followed by the second, the third... The darkness spread at an alarming speed. In the blink of an eye, the entire star field was plunged into darkness.
The darkness has not stopped yet. It is still seeping outward, slowly devouring the light of the surrounding star fields.
In another space, between mountains and rivers, where heaven and earth were connected, Mingchuan walked in slowly. Ji He looked up at her, a faint smile on her lips, and asked casually, "Why did you come here suddenly?"
"There's a vision in the Judge's territory."
Ji He asked casually, "Do you want to intervene?"
Mingchuan sat down and said calmly, "No."
"If not, don't worry about it. This has nothing to do with you."
Mingchuan looked at her calm demeanor, but he couldn't help but frown. He said, "How can you remain so composed? Although the Judge is outside of us and doesn't have the final say on matters, her power is the strongest. If anything happens to her, we won't be able to stop her."
"It's normal to develop emotions when you're around people who love you."
Mingchuan: "You know this is taboo."
"Don't panic. I know her. She's not as impulsive as the Wind God."
Mingchuan said solemnly, "But the Wind God doesn't have that much power to complete the spell of time taboo, but she does."
"Whatever she wants to do in the future, we can't stop her."
"You can't say that," Ji He said slowly, "When the Wind God wanted to save that person, because of their personal relationship, the Judge didn't intervene."
"Based on this alone, we should know that she is still upholding the bottom line of her duties."
Mingchuan stared at her and said, "You seem to be a little different recently."
Ji He said slowly: "Mingchuan, I discovered something."
Mingchuan: "What's the matter?"
"In fact, God also has emotions. We are not ignorant and insensitive."
Ji He stared into the void and continued, "It's just that life in the Divine Realm is too monotonous. Everything here is clearly divided. Even we are destined to be born with a predetermined mission and follow our designated responsibilities."
"We don't have the conflicts of human society, so we can't have contradictions. We don't have the many restrictions of human society, so we can't have conflicts of interest."
"We have never been exposed to love, so naturally we cannot give birth to love. We have no physical desires, no lust, no love or hate."
"Compared to humans, we are more like their infants."
Her words were becoming increasingly inappropriate and dangerous. Mingchuan said in a deep voice, "Don't delve into this, Ji He."
Ji He turned around and looked at her quietly. Ming Chuan continued, "Some rules are destined to be unbreakable from the beginning."
"The reason we can't have emotions is because we are gods. We are already gods."
"We must treat all lives equally. Emotions can lead us to favoritism and bias."
“When fairness is broken, forces fighting for fairness will emerge, and then we will no longer be needed.”
"You're right, I've been thinking too much lately."
"Rules are not meant to be explored, they are meant to be followed," Mingchuan reminded her, "Be careful and don't go astray."
"I understand your worry." Ji He sighed and said, "I've been thinking too much lately. I won't do that again in the future."
"But don't interfere with the judge."
Seeing Ji He respond to her, Ming Chuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Why should I interfere? I can't beat her at all."
"Let her figure it out. I believe she will figure it out."
As for Lin An, she was surrounded by dim starlight in the star field, and the closest ones were twinkling as if they were crying for her.
She opened her eyes, smiled faintly, and touched the stars lightly. The stars suddenly lit up, as if shy, and spread out a light pink layer.
In the old residential complex, Gu Yuan and Feifei stood at the gate of the complex, watching the police car go away.
Lin Zongbei processed his mother's bones and buried them in a potted plant. When they were dug up by the police, he admitted his crime without making any excuses.
Feifei turned and looked at Gu Yuan, "Let's go back."
Gu Yuan: "Aren't you going to wait for her?"
"She'll probably be delayed for a while and won't be back for the time being."
Gu Yuan: "Then... is she injured?"
Feifei answered truthfully: "I don't know. She didn't elaborate, she just told me to take good care of you."
"Can I have a word with her?"
"We can't contact her right now." Feifei shook her head, took a half step forward and urged softly, "Okay, let's go first. Once she finishes her business, she'll naturally come back to find us."
Gu Yuan stood there in silence, motionless. Feifei slowed down her tone: "We really should go back. It's getting dark, and Du Jiajia is waiting at home alone."
This sentence finally worked. Gu Yuan restrained his emotions and followed Feifei.
Lin An didn't come back, and Gu Yuan became more and more silent day by day. Even if Du Jiajia tried to cheer her up, she couldn't get excited.
She was in a daze and often stayed alone. Feifei looked at her and felt complicated.
Gu Yuan looked at the potted plant next to the sofa, but his thoughts were completely different from Feifei's.
She was just thinking, someone's indifference seemed to be unsustainable, and she ran away so quickly. Was she worried about herself? Was it her own voice that distracted her and hurt her?
Lin An, are you moved?
She secretly raised the corners of her lips, looking completely different from usual, like a cunning hunter, looking at the hunter who was about to fall into the trap and feeling smug.
