Stray Chapter 10: The living cannot reach the first cause

  "Well, I always feel that something is not right..."

  In the endless chaotic storm, a slender figure seems to be unaffected by the tide of annihilation. Under the parasol, he looks elegant, and the slender hand holding the umbrella handle is also slender and white.

   is just such a white parasol decorated with ruffles. , Storms and tides sweeping through countless "planetary worlds".

The monster girl under the    umbrella seemed to suddenly have a very uncomfortable feeling, and frowned slightly.

   She thought for a moment, then raised her eyes to look at the black figure beside her, and asked in a determined tone, "Wait! Did you do something bad again?"

  "No!"

   was quietly standing side by side with the monster sage, watching the chaotic atmosphere in front of him, Xia Ran denied it immediately, and was justified.

   He clearly did nothing.

   "Lie." Yakumo Zi snorted softly and made a direct conclusion.

   "What, how do you contaminate people out of thin air?" Xia Ran's eyes widened, of course he wasn't convinced, "I don't even know what you're talking about, why do you say I'm lying? ?"

   "Yeah, you don't even know what I'm talking about, but you don't even ask, just try to deny it in a conditioned reflex, doesn't that mean you're lying?" The monster sage calmly gave his own Doubtful evidence.

  “…”

  “…”

   "Why didn't you speak?" The blond monster sage half covered his face with a fan, and looked at the boy with a funny look.

   "Ahahaha, today's weather is really nice..." Xia Ran turned her head away, laughed quite heartily, raised her hand to cover her forehead, and raised her head slightly, as if it was really because of the dazzling sunlight And the subconscious action is the same.

  If it weren't for the endless chaotic storm all around, the tide of annihilation sweeping the eternal raging, and the half-planes, small worlds, and subspaces that lie quietly in the void of time and space, such scenes... …

   Then it's probably a little convincing, but unfortunately this is the "Tai Chi" inside of him, the edge of the universe.

   "The weather is good?" Yakumo Zi almost laughed, "Where are you talking about the weather?"

  “…”

  “…”

   "Don't talk about this, we are still friends." Xia Ran sighed, how could this little girl be so ignorant.

   "Hey, who wants to be your friend..." The monster sage said with a look of disgust.

   Huh?

  Why is this sentence so familiar, it seems that I heard it somewhere...

  Xia Ran couldn't help blinking his eyes. He always felt that this sentence seemed to be somewhat familiar. Once upon a time, the girl seemed to be awkward and said such a sentence to herself.

   Of course, she really didn't choose to be friends with herself... As if recalling something, the smile on Xia Ran's face seemed peaceful.

   So, it really is life... He didn't say anything, he just thought about it and nodded his head in approval, as if he was talking to his own heart and still affirming himself.

  “…”

  “…”

   "What the **** are you thinking about?" Yakumo Zi's eyes twitched, and her eyes became even more disgusted, "I always feel too hearty, a little disgusting... Wait, didn't you suddenly find this place? It's just the two of us, so do you want to take the opportunity to do something?"

   She feigned fear and took two steps back.

   "No way! Zi, don't talk nonsense! I'm not that kind of person!" Quickly reacting and returning to reality, Xia Ran shook her head decisively and replied, with a firm tone of denial Sanlian, this kind of Can't slander him as if he didn't hear it.

   is just...

  "You bastard... actually said it so succinctly!"

  Although Xia Ran was very righteous and answered almost in seconds, indicating that he had absolutely no such idea, the monster sage narrowed his eyes, and his eyes flashed dangerously.

  “…”

  “…”

   "Stop making trouble, Zi, let's get down to business..." Xia Ran showed a helpless expression to Yakumo Zi, and changed the subject bluntly, "As you can see, this is what I got this time. , it's all here..."

   is not good, the topic has become a little dangerous.

   or pretend not to hear it.

   The monster sage pouted and tutted in dissatisfaction, but she didn't care. She knew that this person was deliberately pretending to be stupid, but that was his character... Anyway, if he can run, the monk can't run away from the temple. Don't be in a hurry.

   And she has no dissatisfaction with the current situation. Although this person has undergone some kind of promotion again, it makes her feel a little strange.

   However, the strangeness quickly dissipated and disappeared, as if it had never appeared before, because the other party still had the same attitude as before, and told her all the experience this time. And when she was curious, she took the initiative to bring her here.

  There is no estrangement and alienation, as always close...

   As his thoughts turned, Yakumo Zi also restrained the thoughts that he had and did not have. If this guy changes the topic, he will change the topic. Anyway, he will not do anything that is really unacceptable to him, or at most It's just another change in Gensokyo.

   But those guys who are making trouble all day long have so much energy that they have nowhere to vent, and the change is guaranteed once a month, so there is nothing wrong with it.

   If she thought about it this way, Yakumo Zi didn't continue to struggle, she turned her eyes to look at the vast chaos and boundless void in front of her, and thought seriously.

   This is inside Xia Ran's own body, a vast universe-like dimension space-time, an introverted creation of an independent other world, and a land of creation that creates all phenomena.

   As he once said, he himself is a walking "singularity", and his body is an independent space-time system, which is inwardly creating every moment, creating the inner side of everything, which is relative to In terms of external reality, it is an "other world" with very different rules.

   The huge existing phenomenon inside him has been expanding rapidly since this period of time, and the scale has expanded to an unimaginable level in the endless proliferation of matter and energy.

   is really vaguely the prototype and artistic conception of the three thousand worlds...

  Although most of them are subspaces or half planes like space-time fragments, the small ones are not much larger than the diameter of the Vatican, and most of the large ones are only the size of a continent, except for the two central solar system-scale ones. The gravitational field is the truly stable "world"...

   is the Lostbelt clipping event cut out from the Fgo world line.

   and the event clipped from the Night world line.

   The re-opened "world" is extremely stable. At least people on the two Earths, or other creatures, have not noticed the fact that even the stars have been moved away without them knowing it...

  Because the power to do all this is too far beyond the world, it is already a dimensional mystery, that is, rolling.

   is like an administrator outside the computer who cut an ordinary folder on the computer and pasted it into another hard disk partition. The data information in the folder is in this case. without any say.

   But the addition of two "worlds" also nicely decorates the facade of Xia Ran's inner universe. After all, although the road of inward creation has only just started, everything is still only a prototype. This is indeed normal, but if one If he doesn't have a complete inner world, he will also feel a little out of control...

   It's like the current situation, at least when he brought Zi in to take a look, he felt somewhat confident.

  Beyond the mirror image "worlds" surrounding the two relatively complete Earths, endless chaotic storms raged and swept through the shrouded void all the time, as well as thousands of space-time fragments or demi-planes  /

   Such a scene is very spectacular. It has the feeling and meaning of the stars and the moon. The monster sage also fell into contemplation, because the grand blueprint revealed in front of him, even if it is just starting, it is just a prototype , is shocking enough.

Is there a universe within   ? Diversity within?

  If it can really transform into the vast world and promote its own existence to a real world, then it is definitely the existence of the end.

  Although I don’t know if the person in front of me can go that far, but Yakumo Zi thinks that this is a very possible thing, maybe compared to her own time concept, that day will not come would be too far away.

  Because it's like the other party shared thousands of her past...ahem, like seventeen years of life, the monster girl also shared the other party's memories.

   She knows very well that no matter how long Xia Ran has spent in other universes and other time axes, how much progress or changes he has made, in reality, it is often just one night.

   That's why I said, that day really won't be too far away.

   After pressing some thoughts, Yakumo Zi carefully observed the grand blueprint in front of him. With the perspective and authority shared by someone, he focused on the two mirror images of the earth "world" as the center, reaching the solar system. After the scale of the gravitational field, the attention was diverted.

   She quickly checked and reviewed the subspaces and demi-planes, and found that they were indeed evolving towards the "planetary world", growing all the time, and although the speed was not fast, it was a change that could be detected.

   It seems that in the vast chaotic storm and the tide of annihilation in the void, there is a steady stream of "source quality" that supplies nutrients, promotes the growth of small worlds, and slowly expands these positions. face space.

  Storms and tides seem to be simulating the real world, the chaotic environment of the void, between the erosion and the raging erosion, although it brings huge pressure on each time and space, it is also testing them, bringing them More growth motivation.

   Just like the fact that towering trees cannot grow in a greenhouse, they can only thrive if they survive the wind and rain.

  The thoughtful monster sage continued to observe the small worlds one by one, and found that some seemed independent and closed, and had no intersection with other time and space;

  There are also several time and space spliced ​​together by the power of creation, magnificent and vast, vast, and the whole world is composed of different exotic physics;

  The only thing that can be called similar is that they all have their own different scenery, presenting a thriving scene, each small world deduces all kinds of things, a variety of prosperity and glorious history /

   Just because in this independent space-time system, the seeds sown by the "Creator" have already taken root and sprouted before the time scale of infinitely long ago.

  "Life and soul... have you touched this field?"

  Yakumo Zi's face couldn't help showing shock, she couldn't help but asked, she noticed that every "planetary world" seemed to have a life course.

   She didn't notice it at first, but later found out that Xia Ran seemed to be tricking.

  Because the area of ​​many subspaces and demi-planes is not large, far from reaching the scale of the real world, if the body size and quality of humans or other animals in the existing earth ecosphere are used as a reference, then the establishment of Can't afford a normal ecological one.

   So Yakumo Zi also subconsciously ignored these small worlds, and just swept them away roughly, thinking that maybe those worlds were still primitive and desolate, and even a little fluctuation of vitality was very weak.

   Maybe it's just some moss growing on a wetland, to the extent that it has some green vitality, she originally thought it was like this.

   But after a deep inspection, I found that these relatively small demi-planes were all regarded by Xia Ran as a miniature sand table. Although it is impossible to support the normal biological size in the real world, if Scale down...

   Then these demi-planes are also a huge "world" that is so vast that they can't explore completely for their entire lives.

   So the green color that she thought was moss at the beginning was actually a forest of dense forests covering the land, and there were also long winding rivers, snow-capped mountains and rivers, and sun-scorching deserts... Etc., etc.

   In these vast worlds, there are also various races and civilizations.

  There are ordinary, unremarkable worlds, only primitive tribes of barbarians chasing prey such as mammoths on the ground; or some worlds have no intelligent creatures at all, not giant creatures like dinosaurs Dominating the world is the rise of the clumsy apes who have just walked upright.

   also has a world full of miracles and magic, belonging to the era of sword and law

   Some planes are just like the classic Western fantasy background. Elves, dragons, giants and other brilliant races emerge in an endless stream. Many kingdoms, hundreds of city-states, and uncountable tribes and villages scattered all over the place. A continent dotted with magic has written the chapters of the Golden Age.

   There are also some worlds where the legends and myths of the past have withered away. After thousands of years, the cities of the elves have been turned into ruins. The new overlord's territory continues to expand.

  Deadly magic and terrifying monsters have been reduced to legends of the past. The existence of humanoids, undead, gods, etc. has once filled every corner of the world to become secretive and rare, even the entire I can't find a few in the mainland...

   eventually became a strange superstition in a remote place, and a mysterious and fascinating story.

   In addition to this, there are many, many more, countless races, and they are evolving wildly in different planes and worlds. Civilization has grown with the world over time. The monster girl beside the Creator couldn't help but be astonished.

   Those two relatively complete mirror image "worlds" of the earth are easy to understand, but these are not the planes that Xia Ran moved in from somewhere, right?

  In other words, the rise and fall of species, the evolution of civilization, and the change of history, everything was born out of nothing... So, can he really create life and give his creation a soul? ?

   "Designing their templates with alchemy beings is just like Alice Phil can give birth to Illya. As long as the previous generation can rely on its own genetic information to spontaneously breed the next generation, then the reproduction of life is not Too big of a problem."

  Xia Ran nodded lightly without denying it.

  "As for the creation of souls, it can only be said that the size of these beings has shrunk countless times. As long as I separate out a trace of soul energy, I can endow the life of the entire plane world with spirituality, so it is not a problem, the loss is not as good as I refill quickly..."

   "In other words, it still hasn't reached the level of creating a soul?" Slightly relieved, Yakumo Zi asked with confirmation.

   "No, that is indeed the realm of the gods..." Xia Ran spread her hands, "But this situation is quite in line with the situation in our world."

   "...the origin?" The realm monster understood what he meant after a little thought.

   "That's right." Xia Ran continued to nod, her eyes were a little strange, "Everything in the world, everything flows from the original source, you and I are the same, we all flow from the source and differentiate part of..."

  "That's why some people think that as long as you can reach the root, you can have the power of "God"..."

   Having said this, he turned around and opened his hands to the blonde monster girl

   "In terms of the laws and the world within me, don't you think that's the case?"

  In mysticism, there is a "force" outside the world that stands at the apex of dimension theory, which is both the beginning and the end of everything, recording the whole of this world, and the seat of the beginning of everything mark.

  Xia Ran is indeed the source of the events unfolding inside him, and all laws and worlds flow from his origin.

   As long as you can reach the root, you can have the power of "God"...

  If there is any life that can really return to the original point, it is equivalent to returning to the existence of Xia Ran... Then in the entire world on the inside, isn't it a "god"-like existence?

   "And another point, but because everything is there, there is nothing. If the individual human being can step in, the meaning of existence will disappear..."

   said this in a strange tone, Xia Ran twitched the corners of his mouth: "Isn't it because the trace of soul projected from my root, which is projected back to me, can only be re-assimilated by me? So I survived. The meaning disappears..."

  “…”

  “…”

  "You mean..." Yakumo Zi was a little surprised and hesitated to speak.

   "I didn't say anything, at least for now, the root itself should have no intelligence and no driving force..." He shook his head, but his expression was still strange.

   means "in the beginning there was the Word", and also "the Word became flesh"?

   He probably understands what the so-called narrator is, but he can't imagine how these extremely noble existences appear. It is said that such existences are absolute, but in front of the same existences, they are not only.

   Is there more than one source, and they themselves are the embodiment of Tao?

   Or did you really use some method, in the infinite world of the past, different seekers have mastered the authority of the root cause one after another?

  Xia Ran vaguely felt that it should be the latter... But how could this be possible? It's like a trace of soul that he differentiated, after returning to himself, not only was he not assimilated by him, but he assimilated him in turn?

   This is obviously absolutely impossible, no matter how weak he is, even if he is about to die completely, but he is the origin of all phenomena unfolding inside himself, and the laws and the world flowing from him are nothing but dream bubbles for him General delusion.

   This is the inevitable fact that the living cannot reach the first cause...

   Well, unless someone like Mephala is stronger than him and has another origin, if one is not good, it may be resurrected inside him and become a new "god" to replace him.
