Absolute Choice Chapter 464: : Virtue and sin
There were three holy trees in the human world, one named "Fate", one named "Time", and one named "World".
The elf family is a special life born in the "Holy Tree of the World". The maturity of the fruit of each holy tree in the world means the birth of an elf baby.
Elf has been called "the embodiment of beauty" since ancient times, not only because the elf is mostly beautiful, but also because the moment when the elf was born, he was blessed with the "seven virtues" by the holy tree of the world.
For humans, the theory of human goodness and evil of human nature has always been a topic of controversy. The behavior of infants is used to explore the initial good and evil of human nature, and to argue that human beings have learned the good in the process of life growth. The behavior is still contaminated with bad habits. Even after arguing for thousands of years, such an argument cannot be concluded after all, because from the respective perspectives and positions, the explanations obtained by both sides are reasonable. Can not completely refute each other, no one can prove that he is absolutely correct.
However, there is no such awkward argument for the elves, because "born in goodness and beauty" is the greatest concern of the holy tree for the elves.
As soon as the elves were born, they possessed seven precious “virtues” —chasteness, temperance, generosity, hard work, patience, tolerance, and humility.
But although the elves have virtues, they also have to undergo worldly baptism, and gradually change in their growth. For example, an elf does not need labor because of a rich family, and lives a life of carefree clothing. Her " The virtue of diligence will be consumed in this day-by-day waste.
The elves who can keep the seven virtues in their lives for a long time are extremely rare and almost non-existent. Only the legendary "Holy Elves" truly have all the seven virtues, but "Holy Elves" are only legends and cannot Judge whether it is fictional or real.
Normally, well-educated elves can generally maintain two to three virtues, but the rest of the virtues will disappear as they grow, becoming no different from ordinary humans.
However, for the elves born with virtue, one thing is never allowed and cast aside-virtue can disappear, but it must not become sin.
For example, "diligence" can disappear, but it must not become "laziness".
Chastity can be lost, but you must not indulge in **** ...
The elves can condone the disappearance of the virtues conferred by the holy tree of the world, and regard it as their incompetence, but they must not be contaminated with the seven original sins corresponding to the seven virtues, because it is to the holy tree of the world that gave birth to them Is the worst betrayal.
Every Elf is contaminated with any of the "sin" of the seven original sins, whether it is an Elven civilian, an Elf aristocracy, or even an Elven Queen. As long as he is contaminated with "Evil", he will be regarded as a "fallen elven", and then expelled, Fight again.
The "fallen elves" are the most spurned race of the elves, but sadly, while the Holy Tree of the World has given them seven virtues, it has planted the seeds of "fallen".
Because as long as you destroy one of your "virtues" and actively "degenerate" into "sin", you can trigger the seeds hidden in the elf's body, and let the elf briefly gain explosive power.
In exchange for "fallen" for strength, this is the most kind gift given to the elves by the Holy Tree of the World, but it is also the most malicious test.
Because even the elves who yearn for peace have to submit to power, then they must choose whether to obtain the necessary power at the cost of contamination, especially in the face of greedy humans During their hunting, their lives, chastity, and dignity were threatened. Whether these things were more important than "virtue" became their most difficult choices.
Most of the elves will choose "fallen" to resolve the crisis at the most critical moment. Even if that means betraying the holy tree of the world, it is easier than betraying yourself.
This is the origin of the fallen and fallen elves. They were originally born as elves with seven virtues.
......
10,000 years ago, the first "doomsday disaster" came to the human world.
The most powerful destroyer of the catastrophe, the original sin of the calamity, gave priority to the destruction of the three holy trees that are the pillars of the human world.
Since then, the seven original sins as "cleaners" have begun to slaughter the living beings in the human world, and the elves have suffered the annihilation.
In that catastrophe, only one elf in the elf family was lucky to survive.
The only surviving elf is the flower that was chosen as the heir by the Holy Tree of the World because of the seven virtues of Cardamom.
Without the reproduction of the holy tree of the world, Huali has become the last elf in the human world.
Since then, Huali has realized her destiny and mission. She secretly vowed that in order to keep the last blood of the elf, she would never use the power of the "fallen seed" and she would never become a "fallen elf".
Fortunately, she has inherited the sacred tree of the world from the beginning, she has almost invincible power, and has been transformed into an "ugly old woman" while traveling around the world of different planes. The years have not encountered the desperate situation that requires the use of "fallen seeds."
Although in her 10,000 years of travel, she lost "forgiveness" because of extinct human enemies, she lost "humility" because she was too powerful, and could travel across half a world of space without having to walk. It is an incredible miracle to lose ability and diligence, but no degradation has occurred and no crisis that requires active degradation has been encountered.
However, not long ago, because of entering the Ninth Turn of the Transcendent Tower, he sealed himself, and was trapped by the 弑 神 弑 法, which was arranged by the four tower lords as an array of eyes. She was in a desperate situation where she had to use the "fallen seeds".
When "Sacrifice Shi Xiaobai" and "Sacrifice Oneself" were placed on the same balance, Huali did not hesitate to choose the latter.
She destroyed the virtue named "Patience" and took the initiative to accept the evil named "Anger". In order to save Shi Xiaobai, she broke her vow, betrayed the holy tree of the world, and became a "fallen elf".
She doesn't regret it, even if she does it again, she will make the same choice.
Although compared with 10,000 years, the time of acquaintance with Shi Xiaobai is almost like a dust in the desert, but to her, this short time is longer than that long 10,000 years. More precious.
Because of the ten thousand years, not only life is long, but also the loneliness of being alone.
In the recent short period of time, she has secretly observed Shi Xiaobai's colorful adventures, watching him sometimes laughing and laughing, sometimes anger and rushing to the crown, sometimes showing sorrow, sometimes blood, surging ... ..
Although he never noticed her space-penetrating gaze, although she knew nothing when she smiled or flirted with her eyebrows, although she was just a lone observer, she But I didn't feel lonely at all.
She got much more from Shi Xiaobai than she thought.
So how could she sit idly by and destroy the life that filled her "emptiness"?
How could she let the young man with a higher ideal than anyone else die at the beginning of the journey?
Even if you have to deceive yourself with the lie that "I am not an ordinary elf, but the inheritor of the holy tree of the world, even if I become a fallen elf, I am just betraying myself. This is only a trivial matter." , She would never let that teenager fall into the sleep of eternal night.
So she chose "fallen" to complete his "rescue".
She doesn't regret it at all.
But the next development made her regretful until now.
Shi Xiaobai did not live up to her efforts and even gave her a return she could not imagine.
He "robbed" her "fallen".
How did she “rob”? The process was a little dazed even by her. Just remembering that she was panicked and shy because he was suddenly “thrown down” by him. When she was distressed about how to refuse, he tenderly returned her efforts. .
It's just this "retribution", but it's like a "retribution" to her.
Shi Xiaobai snatched the evil named "anger" from her, and made her become a pure elf who was not touched by sin. To this end, he paid correspondingly that he could be dominated by "anger" at any time or The expensive price of being lured by "fallenness".
Hua Li feels blame for her negligence, and more is moved.
True love is as selfless as she is.
The true love is the return of "selfishness" like him.
The first thing Huali did after leaving Jiuzhuan Super Tower was to go through all the information about "fallen".
Qiyuan Sin is keen on destroying living beings, but has no habit of burning books. Therefore, she fortunately retained a part of the books of the elven family ten thousand years ago.
However, through the thick books, the more she knows about "fallen", the more confused she becomes.
Because all the books that describe "fallen" are based on a premise that cannot be ignored-the identity of the fallen is an elf.
Yes, there is no description of human beings who have planted sinful seeds because of "fallenness"!
For human beings, both virtue and sin originate from human nature, but it is a normal thing to divide the two ends of human nature. Therefore, when the "sin of evil", which belongs to the elves, is sown in the soul field of human beings, As for what kind of "evil flower" will bloom in time, there is no precedent at all.
There is no lesson learned, which is the most embarrassing situation.
Shi Xiaobai has taken away from her the evil seed named "Angry". What kind of change will happen, and what kind of change will happen is unknown.
Until Shi Xiaobai fell into despair again, she laughed bitterly at the number of crises that the teenager who had n’t cultivated for a long time would encounter enough to die, and waited nervously to make a decision The last moment.
This time is not the same as before, and she has no way to make decisions with absolute calmness. Subject to the deliberate arrangement of the Queen, she can only save one side after all. Once she tried to save Shi Xiaobai, it meant giving up the other seven newcomers named Save Shi Xiaobai, who were in danger. Even if she hadn't taken into account the "moral" habit, such "benevolent revenge" would still be too undetermined "Some.
So he and them, who are on the verge of danger, can only reach the perfect ending together by mutual rescue or self-help.
However, the newcomers who were caught in the shadow by the ninth-level lord "Shadow Ghost" probably have no room to resist.
Holding the girl desperately, Shi Xiaobai, who fell for the sixth time, seems to have no energy to get up again.
Things come to this end, it should be desperate-if Shi Xiaobai's body is not buried with the "Angry Evil" "robbed" from her side.
Angry Evil exerts its reliable but abominable power.
Shi Xiaobai once again gains the power given by the "fallen".
Hua Li didn't expect this at all, because this is the first change that has occurred so far.
The elves can gain strength by destroying "virtue" and causing "sin" corruption, but they can only be used once in their lifetime.
If you can obtain power far beyond yourself like this many times, then it is not a gift from the holy tree of the world, but a "plug-in" that breaks the rules.
But it seems that along with the precedent of human beings acquiring the seed of sin, the rules have been broken.
The elves can gain strength only when they fall for the first time. If the direction of the fall is "anger", then it will become easy to lose control of anger in the future, which is equivalent to being infected with irritable vices.
But Shi Xiaobai is the second time to gain more power than himself because of his anger!
What's happening?
Fall after falling?
After gaining strength after falling into anger, what will he pay?
Hanli was horrified. She forced herself to calm down, and carefully observed the monster in the world of Shi Xiaobai's torture and slaying due to "anger".
Still as powerful and cruel as when the four tower-level lords were tortured, still as a cruel way to smash the prey directly with both hands, and still allow blood to stain himself as a silver-haired devil ...
Compared with the first "anger", it seems there is no change, but if you observe carefully, this time Shi Xiaobai is obviously colder than before, and the shattered prey is more decisive and more like a Follow the "devil" of the killing instinct.
This means that compared with the previous time, Shi Xiaobai's residual self-consciousness has become more blurred in the "anger" state.
—— It's just that despite the painful price, Shi Xiaobai's side has completed "self-help".
While Huali comforted herself with such a lame statement, the story came to a desolate trough.
Because Li Chenxi's wake and call, "Shi Xiaobai", who is already no different from the devil, finally realized her existence.
This silver-haired devil, who fully followed the killing instinct, finally stretched his blood-stained hands to the soft and warm young girl's body nearby.
