Chapter 41: The Soul of Nothingness (8000)(2/3)
[How is life different from this universe itself? Celestial bodies can eat, and they also have anger, sorrow, kindness, birth, old age, sickness and death.]
[Thinking is meaningless, wisdom is the source of troubles... Therefore, compared to waiting for nothingness, believers of nothingness will choose to act.]
[And this is the biggest difference between nothingness and nothingness believers.]
Although the evil spirit of the Star Eater is very large, it is the first time that Su Zhou saw the affix of "Incredible Amplitude".
However, He did not condense the inheritance - this proved that even though Iloyat gained wisdom, this abnormal Star Eater still did not summarize his own path.
This made Su Zhou a little disappointed. He looked at the eight-headed ethereal dragon body condensed by the other party, and thought that the Star Eater had unexpectedly embarked on a path similar to his Zhuzhou, and could freely cut the body of the universe beast for modules for his own use, and was considered his "members".
But now it seems that it may be that Iloyat has eaten a lot of ether dragons and simply copied the body structure of those ether dragons.
"But the most important thing is not these."
The soul power belonging to the Star Eater was burning in his belly, and Su Zhou closed his eyes.
As he headed to the increasingly turbulent turbulent stellar turbulence, he began to ponder and analyze the endless memories of Iloyat in his body.
"As the annihilation envoy of the Void Clan, there must be important relevant information in the soul of this Star Eater!"
The surging soul power surged, and the memories that lasted for millions of years were burning, and it was intertwined by the interweaving of light and shadow created by the Star Eater's long memories.
With his will, Su Zhou forcibly eliminated a large amount of meaningless memory content and began to refine Iloyat's life.
——The Star Eater spent most of his life eating.
The existence of this cosmic giant beast itself is equivalent to a small star, and it is a very violently burning star.
If you don't eat, the young star-eating person will burn himself out. In fact, many star-eating person's cubs cannot grow up healthily because they do not start eating at the moment of birth, and eventually become dust clouds among the stars.
At first, Iloyat was a sound Star Eater, no different from other compatriots.
So, when He was conceived by his mother and thrown into a brown dwarf, He began to eat, swallow, bite, suck... until he became powerful, became a behemoth, a real little star, and could survive for a long time.
But by then, the instinct of the Star Eater was completely stimulated. Even without any need, they would continue to devour the stars, strengthen themselves, and turn themselves into a wandering star wandering in the universe.
All changes occur in a "short" eating process.
Iloyat, who had just arrived at the 'complete body', chose a yellow main sequence star as his food.
It just so happened that the second planet of this main sequence star gave birth to many primitive lives.
The star-eating person who has just advanced to a complete body and can swallow star energy is not slow in his opinion, but for the short-lived species, it is not a matter of speed or slowness.
——Iloyat, while eating, watched the birth and rise and fall of a civilization.
It was a long forgotten name, only knowing that members were a winged life with wings that could fly.
This kind of tribe is born to love flying and exploration, and its desire for the starry sky is revealed in the ancient wilderness era.
The sun is their guide, the beacon for exploration, and the god of watchfulness that tells the direction of the ‘future’: this civilization firmly believes that it is the son of the sun, and their wings exist to one day be able to escape from the shackles of the earth and go to the dazzling light source.
There is no doubt that such belief can avoid many detours for a civilization and allow them to move towards the interstellar era smoothly.
However, just when they could explore aliens, this race was shocked to find that above their "gods" and "guidors", there was a giant beast that was extremely ferocious, hateful, but also extremely huge... that was eating the flesh and blood of the stars.
Needless to say, how to eliminate this giant beast has become the "meaning" of the civilization's continued progress.
Not just for myths, beliefs, beliefs.
Just to ensure the stability of the mother star field and for the future of civilization, they must also fight the Star Eater and drive the other party away!
To this end, this civilization is united in studying technology and learning spiritual energy. Because you can see the existence of the Star Eater by looking up, there is no forgetting or slackness. Every member of the civilization devotes his best to expel the Star Eater, just to expel this great enemy of the Star Eater one day.
They have developed generations of new spacecraft and powerful weapons. They have spent a long time to forge a huge fleet, and their practice has become increasingly radical, but they are also becoming more and more powerful.
Their progress rate is far higher than that of any civilization, and it can even be said to be at the top in the universe.
But the stars are still bleak.
Whether it is a huge cannon that is enough to burn the planet into glass, or an antimatter bomb; whether it is a psychic who is enough to tear the continent and destroy the ecosystem, or a nano-machine weapon that can erode at the mesoscopic level...
Nothing can work for the Star Eater.
One after another attack method was invented, then proved useless, one after another concept was proposed, and then thrown into the trash can.
In this process, many heroes and heroes who were enough to change the world emerged. They led this civilization to continue to advance, explore and progress, and even sacrificed themselves to fight against monsters with sun umbrellas.
However, all efforts, all struggles, all passion, hope and even sacrifice are meaningless.
Just as the tiny people were struggling, the Star Eater completed his feeding.
Stars begin to expand - the red giant is about to begin.
Despair shrouded this nameless civilization, so that they chose to be crazy, or rather, choose the most decisive means.
They built an unprecedented huge battleship, and created a stellar bomb based on the spiritual fluctuations of the Star Eater and the frequency of their sun...
When Iloat felt full for a moment and left the expanding star, he could only notice in confusion that a group of tiny things that were not even ants had created a small spark at the edge of his shell's gap.
It seemed to be a gunfire attack to attract the attention of the beast.
But obviously, this action is meaningless, because the Star Eater didn't understand what these little ants were trying to do. He just opened his eyes wide and watched the warship carrying the star bombs sink into the interior of the star that was about to become giant red.
Then... it was a dazzling supernova explosion.
There is also a cosmic giant beast that was inexplicably bombed into a serious injury.
【Why?】
【Are you going to grab food?】
At that time, His simple thinking could not understand this phenomenon at all: [I didn't eat all the stars. They are so small, they should have some, and they can even eat them for a long time.]
【It's too strange?】
Because of confusion, questions arise.
Because of the question, I sought answers.
Because of the answer, wisdom is needed.
The giant beast that can surround the starry sky without wisdom and devour the stars begins to desire for the "meaningless thing" that is not what you need in your life for the first time.
But long time passed, when the ignorant star-eating man, who had been in the past, could understand why that small race would regard itself as an enemy and would rather choose to detonate the stars than run away.
However, the giant beast was in a great confusion.
[But with their technology, we can clearly make the ark long ago, leaving that galaxy, right?]
[If the meaning of life was to exist, they should have escaped long ago - for thousands of years, their technical level is higher than many interstellar civilizations I have seen!]
[But they still chose to die with the stars without hesitation... Is there any higher meaning and more than "existence"?!]
【But all this is meaningless!】
There is something that is closer to the truth than ‘existence’.
Is there anything that can make life, which clearly regards "survival" as its top priority, willing to give and sacrifice one's own life.
What star-eating people have difficulty understanding things, which has led to the birth of everything, including the universe, the stars, and all life - all of this, now the universe, everything in the multiverse, makes all things born and exist!
So what exactly is it? Even if you ask the same person, you won't get an answer.
Where exactly can this answer be found? All civilizations in the universe are unwilling to discuss philosophical issues with a star-eating person.
What is the ultimate of all this? Why does everything exist after finally a long time, but life is willing to sacrifice its existence for the illusory things?
There is no answer to it, and the wandering beasts wander in the dark universe.
【Why do I live?】
The Star Eater, who was struggling with this problem, even thought of suicide for a time... No, it wasn't that he had really committed suicide several times, but because he was too strong, he could not die.
Until a gentle dusk light came up, Iloyat's consciousness was awakened.
[The confused Star Eater, why are you staying here?]
At this moment, Iloyat discovered that he was at the edge of the Milky Way.
A remote, but fully armed star system completely wrapped in various psychic matrices and steel fortresses.
At this moment, He is on the edge of the headquarters of the Dusk clan.
However, the rumor that destroyed everything and sent everything into the Void Clan did not attack this Star Eater who was alive.
A gentle, respectable voice, after patiently listening to the star-eating man's inflection and explanation, nodded clearly: [So that's it, you are eager for meaning.]
[But poor little Iloyat, I want to tell you the truth of this multiverse: the birth of all things is just a coincidence, and the existence of sentient beings is just an accident.]
[You and I, life, all existence, and even all kinds of miracles in the universe, those shining souls and glory, shining will and beliefs, are all things that were unexpectedly born because the multiverse is too huge.]
【In other words, all this is meaningless.】
【wrong!】
Hearing this answer, the Star Eater at that time retorted fiercely: [Absolutely there!]
[Otherwise, why would life not fear death, and why would civilization not fear sacrifice and destruction?]
[There must be a supreme meaning that guides them, ignoring the "truth of existence", so that they can be so determined!]
【right.】
To be continued...
