Chapter 292 Eternity or Death (5k)
It was not until this moment that the saint realized that all this was Visas's plan, which was to allow him to bring the part of consciousness and cognition that had not been fully assimilated into Wildfire's divine body.
The saint couldn't help but feel a little annoyed and regretful.
Because if he comes for another ten minutes, he will be able to completely assimilate this consciousness and knowledge, and descend into the world with a complete divine body. And by then, this land will be under His watch, and even Visas will definitely not be able to escape.
But he couldn't control himself. He was overwhelmed by the imminent achievement of killing Visas with his own hands. He ignored the consciousness and cognition that had not yet been fully assimilated, and returned to the divine body prematurely.
And now, in this consciousness, he has turned back into the little wolf who knew nothing a month ago.
"How are you, Ade?"
Vic, sitting by the campfire, had a dull look of worry on his face. He had asked this question once half a minute ago.
The Saints did not respond.
Although it is an "impurity" that has not been digested yet, it is his own memory after all. As long as he is willing, this memory will remain stuck at this stage until it is completely assimilated.
Yes, returning to the divine body does not mean that the impurities cannot be dealt with. In fact, the consciousness of the gods is more powerful than that of the saints, and the speed of cleaning the impurities will be faster, but there is a little more risk, but as long as the saints have conscious control, this risk can be completely ignored.
But just as he was thinking this, he heard a "pop" sound.
There was a sound of snapping fingers.
"Let's just let time pass." Someone said in his ear.
The saint's eyes widened and he turned his head sharply to look at the person who suddenly appeared next to him.
"Visas!"
The Saint was about to shout out Visas' name, but after the snap of his fingers, his body responded weakly first.
“Woo…”
So time began to roll, and the dullness on Vic's face quickly faded, leaving only vivid worry.
"You'll be fine." He reached out and gently stroked the saint's head.
A faint sense of security suddenly rose in the saint's heart, a sense that he had almost forgotten... This came from Ade.
The Saint stared at Bai Wei with his peripheral vision: "Is this your goal, Visas? Do you think you can succeed this way?"
"Whether there is a purpose or not is another matter." Bai Wei also smiled and stretched out his hand, rubbing the Saint's dog head, "Have you forgotten? I promised you that I would take you to find the truth."
This action caused the saint to feel extremely angry and humiliated.
He is going to become God... Oh no, now he is already God, he is "Him".
Why does this guy dare to do this?
He wanted to attack Bai Wei, but he couldn't because he was trapped in his memories. Everything in his memories was fixed, and Bai Wei was the only non-fixed existence in this scene.
So He could only refute with words: "It was not me you promised."
"Huh? I didn't tell you." Bai Wei shrugged and said in a joking tone, "A wild dog that can't control its body should just watch quietly in there, right?"
The saint was about to explode with anger, but he couldn't do anything to Bai Wei, because this was Ade's memory, and the most he could do was to stop it, but Bai Wei didn't know what means he used to make it start.
"It's my fault. If I hadn't been so obsessed with becoming a hunter, you wouldn't have become like this, right?" Vic sighed.
The memories are still rolling.
A feeling of sadness rose in the saint's heart again.
It is not strong, just like one or two sparks that suddenly jump out from a burnt-out campfire, weak, but it does exist.
"Do you feel anything? You influenced it in the same way during that period, right?" Bai Wei said with a smile, "You continuously sent it memories and emotions to change its cognition, and now, the person being influenced has become you."
The saint suppressed his anger and said coldly: "Do you think it can affect me who has become a god?"
"How do you know if you don't try?"
“Haha, if this is your plan, then I must say… it’s very boring.” He said, “It’s just a spark that is about to burn out, but now I…”
As soon as the saint finished speaking, a "hissing" sound came from above his head.
Bai Wei looked up and saw that a small gap suddenly appeared in the night sky that should have been endless.
It was like a cluster of flames falling on a piece of paper, quickly burning it, while outside the night sky was an even more intense fire of karma.
"Soon, everything on it will be burned by me." The Saint stared at Bai Wei and said with contempt, "You and your ambitions will all be burned to nothing by me."
The saint wanted to see panic and helplessness on Bai Wei's face, but to his disappointment, Bai Wei did not show such an expression. Instead, he smiled easily.
"Then you just burn it slowly."
He even rubbed the Saint's dog head again, which really made the Saint explode with anger.
The memories are still rolling.
He felt his body growing more and more exhausted, and watched Vic go from being confused and hesitant to making up his mind, and decided to go to the blood healing statue alone.
At this moment, sadness surged in His heart again, more intense than before.
"You must have been really sad at that time." Bai Wei seemed to be able to empathize with Him and said softly, "After all, you have never abandoned each other."
Bai Wei's words were like fuel, making the spark in his heart burn brighter.
But the saint is not just a bunch of idlers. After knowing what Bai Wei wanted to do, he naturally had a response strategy.
"It's just part of the plan." The Saint said calmly, "I've experienced this kind of thing many times."
The Saint caused more dormant memories to come flooding back.
Yes, this has happened many times.
There is not only one Ade, and there is not only one Vic.
Over the past hundred years, He has come here countless times, bringing countless people with Him.
He would feel sad every time, but it would soon be diluted by the memories he recovered. So he used these memories, one after another, different faces to wash the spark, and soon the sadness in his heart faded.
"This is all as expected," the saint said to Bai Wei. "How can I be sad about something that was expected?"
Bai Wei smiled and pointed at Weike: "How about this?"
At this time, Vic cut off his own flesh.
At that moment, the saint felt the flame in his heart grow a little bigger, causing his brows to twitch uncontrollably.
"Not everyone would cut off their own flesh to let you leave at a time like this," Bai Wei asked with a smile.
The countless faces in the memory quickly dwindled to two or three.
The Saint was silent for a while, and had to admit: "It is true that there are a few, but it does exist. Those are indeed individuals who value emotions more, and I just want to understand these emotions."
The momentum of the flame growing stopped again, and in sharp contrast was the karmic fire above the head.
In just a few minutes, the flames had burned up one-third of the night sky. At the end of the field of vision, countless streams of fire fell, setting the forest on fire.
The consciousness of God is destroying Ade's consciousness.
"Is that all?" the saint asked contemptuously.
"Don't be impatient." Bai Wei watched Weike leave while covering his wound, and then pointed at the meat on the ground, "You haven't eaten this piece of meat yet."
"Oh, so what if I ate it?" the saint said, "I have already eaten it in reality. This is just a memory."
Although he said this, when he really dragged his extremely weak body forward and bit the piece of meat, the deep sadness that suddenly rose in his heart, like fireworks, still made his eyelids twitch.
"You were the one who influenced it, right? Or rather, you influenced yourself and made yourself eat the meat." Bai Wei said leisurely, "How about it, do you feel it now?"
The Saint chewed on Vic's meat, his mouth full of blood.
"Of course there are feelings... the feeling of eating and hunting." The Saint looked at Bai Wei, blood dripping from the corners of his mouth, and said coldly, "For wolves, eating and hunting only bring joy."
"Is Vic your prey?"
"Isn't it?" the saint asked, "From the moment I chose him, his fate was already determined... to be eaten by me."
"So are you happy now?"
"Of course," the saint said, "with joy."
Bai Wei glanced at his claws that were completely sunk into the ground, smiled and said, "Maybe. Then you should continue."
……continue?
The next step was to find Vic.
The saint felt some resistance in his heart, because he found that he still underestimated the impact of this experience on Ade, and also underestimated the impact of Ade on himself.
Although this was still not enough to change anything, it made the Saints feel uneasy.
Fortunately, the fire in the sky had burned even more fiercely, and half of the night sky had turned into a sea of fire.
"You can't change anything, Visas," the Saint said to Bai Wei. "It won't last much longer."
"Don't worry." Bai Wei patted his butt and stood up, "We should continue."
Without Bai Wei's reminder, the saint had already stood up.
After eating Vic's flesh, he regained some strength and was now able to go find Vic.
Yes, he wanted to find Vic. No matter what happened, he had to be by Vic's side.
So he ran in the direction where Vic left, while Bai Wei walked slowly beside him, but their speeds were the same.
"You have affected yourself again at this time." Bai Wei said, "After eating Vic's meat, you are no longer the same as before."
"Human flesh and blood can help me find myself again." The Saint said coldly, "This is also part of the plan."
He is running wildly.
Meanwhile, the flames had spread to their heads, and the flames ignited the woods, and everything was burning.
"It's too late!" the saint yelled at Bai Wei.
"Then what are you in such a hurry for?" Bai Wei asked with a smile.
Yes, the Saints felt impatient.
But he couldn't tell whether this impatience came from the self who couldn't wait to see Vic a month ago, or the self who couldn't wait to end everything and ascend to the throne of God now.
Maybe it was both, and the combination of the two turned the spark in his heart into a flame.
Although this little spark still can't change anything, but...
The Saint narrowed his eyes.
He saw Vic's back, right under the statue in front of him. The statue was burning all around, making the scene where Vic was looking like a piece of paper that was burned and then quickly shrank.
The anger in his heart was ignited.
Just as he had done countless times a hundred years ago, he roared and pounced forward.
Vic heard the voice and turned his head with an expression of surprise and joy, and then this expression was frozen on his face forever.
Because he cut open Vic's body with his claws.
Vic's warm blood splashed on his face, further arousing his inner cruelty and instinct.
He began to bite Vic's body desperately, as if he was biting prey.
At that moment, the saint felt unprecedented anger and sadness surge in his heart, and the flame was growing rapidly, as if to echo the karmic fire burning the sky.
That was the case a month ago.
By then, Ade had realized what he was doing and tried desperately to stop.
but……
The Saints also released more instincts and ferocity, just like they did a month ago. The countless "Saints" plans over the past century and the indifference that belonged only to the gods instantly overwhelmed the feelings that only lasted for a few years between Ade and Vic. They were like Vic's life, disappearing quickly under the fierce bites.
So the flame in my heart was suppressed.
The hellish fire in the sky had burned everything, leaving only half of Vic's body and countless "pioneers" who had long since turned into skeletons.
After taking one final bite, the Saint took back the body.
He turned around abruptly and stared at Bai Wei who was standing in the sea of fire, his eyes full of sarcasm and excitement.
"You failed, Visas!" Vic's intestines were still hanging in his mouth, and his face was stained with blood, looking particularly hideous. "I ate them all! Whether it was Ade or Vic, I ate everyone. What can you do?"
"I have been doing this for the past hundred years! There has never been any difference, and there has never been any change. I still remember their names, Finkel, Lillen, Vic..." He pointed at the dry bones behind him, "Each of them has feelings for me, and each of them is willing to give everything for me, but I still ate them. After understanding everything about them, I still ate them. Because this is their value, they are the steps for me to ascend to God!"
"You expect me to betray myself for these steps? You expect me to delay my ascension to godhood because of a regretful thought in my sleep?!"
"Do you think it's possible? Visas?!!"
The saint roared at Bai Wei, and the wind he roared was filled with a strong smell of blood.
Bai Wei's expression remained unchanged until the saint finished speaking. He then said softly, "Yes, they are all the steps for you to ascend to God. Understanding and devouring them is one step. You learned trust, courage, and emotion from them, and after understanding all of this, you chose to be superior, because God is supposed to be superior to the world, and you have been doing this for the past hundred years."
The saint looked at Bai Wei coldly.
Although he didn't know why, he had obviously won and Ade's last bit of consciousness was extinguished, but he still felt uneasy, deeply uneasy.
It was as if he had forgotten something very important.
"But unfortunately, you still encountered an accident the last time." Bai Wei said, "The only accident that you can't understand."
...an incomprehensible accident?
Before the Saint could figure out what it was, a faint voice sounded behind him.
"Ade..."
He was stunned for a moment, then slowly turned around and saw Vic, with only half of his body left, reaching out his hand to him.
"Leave here, Ade." Vic said softly, "Don't come back."
The saint's expression froze.
Why is this happening?
Why would Vic say that to him? He had killed him!
Why is this sentence completely absent from his memory? !
Why?!
Suddenly, the flame in my heart that should have been extinguished flickered again and quickly grew bigger.
“This is the final truth.”
Bai Wei's voice came from behind again.
"Vic gave you the only emotion you couldn't understand and swallowed in the past hundred years, that is forgiveness, or in other words, the ultimate love."
The saint slowly turned around and stared at Bai Wei who was walking slowly towards him.
"Over the past hundred years, you have killed countless people here. No matter how close you were before, everything changed the moment you showed your claws to them. They cursed you madly and resisted you madly, but only Vic chose to forgive." Bai Wei stood in front of the Saint, looking at the Saint's dark green eyes, which seemed to be burning with flames. "Of course, now we have no way to guess what he was thinking at the time. Either he was bitten and lost his mind, or he didn't think it was your intention until the end. In that case... he really had a love for you that transcended life and death, so he could forgive you no matter what you did."
The saint opened his mouth, but no words came out.
"In short, if you can't get a definite answer, you can't really understand it. And if you can't understand it, you can't devour it." Bai Wei said leisurely, "This has greatly impacted all the cognition you have formed over the past hundred years, and has brought you great confusion in your thinking, so much so that you have lost your memory. I'm talking about you, not Ade. It wasn't just Ade who lost his memory a month ago, you also lost your memory. Otherwise, you should have become a god a month ago."
The saint's body was shaking continuously.
He felt it, felt the fire in his heart burning wildly, as if roaring silently, so that he had to desperately put it out.
This can’t be done. It absolutely can’t be done!
He roared in his heart.
He is about to become a god! He is only one step away!
He couldn't waver here, absolutely not!
Bai Wei walked past him and squatted in front of Vic, whose face was left after being burned by the flames.
Facing this familiar yet unfamiliar face, Bai Wei said softly: "This young man whom you used as food delayed your godhood by a month with just one sentence. This is really..."
He reached out and closed Vic's eyes.
"You've done well enough." Bai Wei said, "Good night."
After saying this he stood up again and looked towards the Saint.
At this moment, half of the saint's face was angry and the other half was struggling.
Just like when He took over Ade's body.
"You can't influence me, Visas!" He roared at Bai Wei, "One step forward and you will become a god, one step back and you will die! Everyone knows what to choose!"
"Yeah, everyone knows what to choose." Bai Wei looked at the angry half of the face, "You should be able to hear me, so make your choice, Ade."
"To follow him is eternity, to follow me is death."
"But..." Bai Wei stretched out his hand to him, "I will help you end eternity."
Ade slowly closed his eyes, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably.
then……
“Ouch!”
It struggled to make the choice.
…
Realistic night sky.
The indescribable body of the god suddenly began to twitch.
And then there was a loud "boom".
The flames tore the body of the god from the inside, and countless streams of fire fell down, illuminating the night sky and setting fire to the cemetery that had been silent for a hundred years.
God is wailing.
