Stray Chapter 11: Creator’s eggs?
"Forget it, I don't understand what you said, it's too far away..."
Yakumo Zi naturally fell into contemplation, but after a while, he shook his head again and said with a little regret.
"People always have some pursuits, what if they are realized..." Xia Ran smiled slightly, but also restrained her mood, and did not let those chaotic thoughts affect herself.
After all, as Yakumo Zi said, all this is too far away.
"Anyway, I'm not a human being." The monster girl's eyes flickered, she gently lowered her parasol, then raised her fan, gently covering the lower half of her beautiful face.
“…”
“…”
is a very convincing answer!
Xia Ran shook her eyebrows helplessly and said, "Actually, if you're serious, you are actually closer than me, Zi, after all, you know that although everything flows from the original source, and then becomes like a tree branch. Generally, it differentiates into various forms..."
"So in theory, all the concepts of things, all things, everything, all existence can actually be traced back to the first cause of the original reason for existence... But there are always some existences, which are closer to the root innately and belong to The first branch to differentiate..."
Tao produces one, one produces two, two produces three, and three produces all things.
"Everything" is the most inferior concept. It is the formation of all visible and invisible forms after the root has been differentiated for countless times, and it is a concrete and metaphysical form;
Then "one", "two" and "three" are the process by which "Tao" creates all things, although it is not "Tao" itself, but compared with the specific lower-level things that have been differentiated countless times, they are naturally A more metaphysical concept, innate is closer to the original cause.
"Because of the power of my realm?"
The monster girl pouted, knowing what this person was referring to.
"Yes, just like talent, aptitude, and talent, it has been decided from birth, and is often described as the so-called bloodline, gene, but in fact, it belongs to a deeper level as the cause of existence direction.”
Xia Ran said calmly:
"If there is a past life, then there should be a past life of the past life? Even from a scientific point of view, there is a theory of so-called reincarnation, all molecules will flow, and all things can be converted into other things ..."
Therefore, even if the previous life was not a person, the previous life was not even a thing.
But the thread of existence continues and must be traced back to some beginning of what determines what a thing is.
"That's the so-called origin. In the vortex of all sources, a certain directionality occurs like lightning, and it will never change from birth. The essence that is more essential than the previous life has been determined innately... "
said in a slightly sour tone, Xia Ran looked at the blonde monster girl with a subtle look.
"As a monster in the realm, your origin is very close to the original nothingness, so you have this ability to approach the root... From this point of view, you are actually closer to that place than me, Zi."
That's why the magician of the realm behaves so terribly, even if the illusory existence is like a mirror, it can easily shake the law of cause and effect.
Even the current Xia Ran is still not sure of winning over the combined state of herself and Yayunzi. That realm is like an extension of her own siblings, and everything in the world seems to be the same as herself, both inside and outside. The powerful feeling is really unbearable.
"What's the use of being close, just like Buddhism says that everyone has Buddha-nature, but is it really possible for everyone to become enlightened and become a Buddha? This is obviously impossible."
Yakumozi didn't feel so happy because of this, but replied casually: "As long as you can't reach the root cause, then everything is the same, the concrete things in the metaphysical, and the higher-level concepts in the metaphysical are actually the same. ..."
"People always have dreams... Well, forget it, why are you so salty, Zi..."
Xia Ran helplessly twitched the corners of her mouth. She was going to continue using the previous routine, but thinking about the other party's answer not long ago, she wisely shut up. Because it is of no use, the other party is Xian's righteousness and reason.
This monster idler seems to have been completely helpless. In the memories she shared, she has been a frightening monster for thousands of years.
The power of is absolutely strong, after all, it is also the peak of the big monster, and the wisdom is even more frightening...
She foresaw the decline of the fear of heaven and earth, and the mysterious decline, so she also started planning early, to find the last place for inhumans to live. How many discordant dudes have been dropped.
For example, because she couldn't convince most monsters who only had muscles in their minds, she turned to start the war between the monsters and the moon, and easily achieved the goal of eradicating aliens.
Although later with civilization, people gradually believed in science and intelligence, and excluded the dark part from life as superstition. The history of humans and monsters turned a new page, and everything proved that Yakumo Zi is correct.
However, the skill and character she showed still made countless people fearful, respectful and awe-inspiring, so she was called "Monster Sage".
It's a pity that it is such a fascinating legend, but what Xia Ran sees now is that she has only black belly and bad idler or salty characteristics... God, it's really even worse than Yuyouko-
After all, Yuyuko is still very ambitious and motivated in some aspects.
So, how did she become like this? After Gensokyo was established, in just a few hundred years, her comfortable life made her lose all the integrity she had accumulated over the past thousands of years. clean?
Xia Ran felt a little heartbroken, and even hated that iron could not become steel. After all, for him, who had mastered Yakumo Zi's entire life and all his memories and experiences, the realm of monsters really had no secrets at all.
So from his point of view, he naturally saw very clearly how the monster girl lost all her morals little by little. From the past, she had both strength and wisdom, and gradually turned into such a black belly and bad appearance. ...
"Are you thinking of something bad again?"
The blond youkai girl suddenly felt a chill, as if someone had launched a deep slander against her from the soul level.
"No..." Of course he wouldn't admit it, Xia Ran sighed to distract the other party's attention, "Okay, seeing now, Zi, you should make a decision too? Which land are you going to enclose? , tell me directly."
"Huh?" The monster sage was slightly taken aback, "You know my plan?"
"I know, after all, if you don't have any ideas, then after reading my memory, you'll already know what I've gained. There's no need to go on a field trip, right?" Xia Ran felt that this was Obvious.
"Oh, then I'm welcome..."
said softly, the blond youkai girl covered the lower half of her face with the fan in her hand, her curved eyes full of smiles.
"Can I choose?"
"Well, except those two are not suitable for you to interfere..." The creator in the void nodded calmly, just stretched out his hand lightly, and pointed out the two blue sky surrounded by a false solar system Planet, indicating that these two are exceptions.
He probably also knows what Yakumo Zi wants to do, so these two plane worlds are naturally not suitable for her to interfere.
"Well, what a stingy man, why can Moriya Shrine interfere, but I can't..."
Yakumo Zi actually didn't have the idea of choosing those two goals, but she still had some bad tastes. She pretended to be resentful and complained like this.
During the inspection just now, she naturally discovered that in a certain world, Dongfengya Sanae was talking with Mordred.
Maybe it was out of a professional habit she had developed in the past. She peeped... ahem, she watched the discussion between the two girls, so it was naturally very clear that the blue and white witch was excitedly preparing to preach in another world. And with Mordred's permission.
This is the difference, Reimu is probably holding a cup of tea, sitting in front of the steps of the shrine, sighing "Today's Gensokyo is also a peaceful day", by the way, waiting for the evening banquet to start...
Obviously they are all witches, why is there such a big gap? Reimu is so salty, wouldn't she feel ashamed?
——Yakumo Zi couldn't help but feel worried about the lazy Hakurei priestess.
But that's not the point. The point is that it's not that Mordred allowed Moriya Shrine to enter the venue, but that Xia Ran didn't object... Isn't this favoring one over the other?
"It's different, they're mainly for preaching, and they don't have much impact. It's not the same as what you're going to do." Xia Ran wasn't affected by Yayun Zi's pretense at all, and she didn't even lift her eyelids.
"Hey, I really don't understand the style... But forget it, a girl like you probably won't be liked by a girl in her lifetime, so I won't care about you, so thank me..."
Yakumo Zi sighed and quickly stretched out his hand, pointing in a certain direction.
"That's it, you don't need a lot of investment, just test the water with one first... If you fail, you won't lose anything, so what, am I good enough for you?"
“…”
“…”
"That's what I said, but the choice is the largest and most complete time and space, it's not convincing at all." Xia Ran's eyes twitched a few times, Zi was really kind to himself, he Couldn't help being moved.
But this is really not a big investment. He directly manipulated his various management rights as an authority, and in an instant, he locked the plane world that was evolving at a high speed and replaced it in front of him.
It seems that time and space are flying at high speed, so whizzing past, a huge crystal wall shell ball quickly approached from far and near, appearing in front of Yakumo Zi.
It is a huge shell sphere containing a "planetary system" inside, and it seems to be simulating the star system of the real universe. It is a multi-structured plane world formed by splicing multiple time and space, and it is perfected to a certain extent.
The monster sage looked at her with great joy, and her line of sight passed through the blurred crystal wall-like shell, and looked at the plane world she was going to use as an experiment.
In the temporal evolution accelerated by someone's own thoughts, fallen leaves drifted to the earth, seeds fell asleep under white snow, flowers bloomed and withered rapidly, in the shadow of the flowing light, the star map was constantly changing , high mountains rise in the sea, and the land sinks into the sea.
is like the enhanced footage in some programs, which is obviously accelerated and fast-forwarded, fully expressing the feeling of time rushing.
And in this process, the rise and fall of species, the evolution of civilization, the change of history, everything is accelerating. For the countless creatures in those worlds, the turning point that determines the civilization and affects the history of hundreds of generations, the magnificent changes are often only in an instant.
"In fact, rather than what you think, I recommend that you throw those monsters on the plane without intelligent beings..."
At this time, Xia Ran gave his own advice carefully. He knew that Yakumo Zi felt that he saw the way out for the next stage of Gensokyo, but he always felt that this monster sage was also caught in some kind of recognition. within the limits of knowledge.
"Why?" The blonde monster girl glanced at him.
"You always need fear or belief to maintain your own existence and strength. This form of existence cannot last long..."
Xia Ran gave an example: "I talked to Kanako and the others before, Kanako used to collect beliefs only to support herself, but never relied on it. As for Suwako, it was because she was born without a soul, and she was purely driven by Indigenous gods composed of beliefs, there is no other way..."
"If there is no environment to fear, they will all die." The monster sage frowned slightly.
"Life will always find a way out..." Xia Ran scratched her cheek and couldn't help complaining, "And Zi, you have to consider the actual situation, even if it is the most common demon wolf in the magic forest, In these worlds, that body type is..."
How to say it, it is simply crushed.
is like Gulliver in Lilliput. These "prehistoric beasts" that are hundreds of meters long and can easily cross mountains and rivers and oceans. It will cause a devastating blow to the ecology of Lilliput.
itself can't last long. If the little creatures in the plane world are extinct like this, no one can continue to provide them with supplies such as fear or faith.
It's impossible for them to develop like locusts, so they must find a way out by themselves... Because the versions are not compatible at all, and the style of painting is completely wrong, so we can only give them some territory to develop on their own.
instead of rudely putting them into the sand table system that has been developed, in that case, it will only cause both sides to collapse and perish at the same time.
"I'll think about it first..."
Youkai Sage did not make a rash decision, but just thought about it.
But soon, she seemed to remember something, raised her head and looked at each other playfully: "By the way, you actually have a simulated world, remember?"
"...Remember." The boy blinked and said noncommittally, "What's wrong?"
"Because of the flow of time, and you outsourced that simulation world, so you haven't paid attention to it for a long time, right?" Zi's smile was a little dark, like a little fox who stole a chicken, "It seems that I forgot to tell You, that world is in trouble right now..."
"Could there be any trouble?" Xia Ran didn't care, and didn't take it lightly, "It hasn't been long since the real time, and aren't you still watching? If something really happened, Zi, you would definitely be the first to do it. Tell me, how could I forget?"
"Humph, you are very selfish, but what if I told you that someone found the easter egg you left behind?"
"Is that group of people like me?"
"Huh? You know?" Yakumo Zi was not very happy, she was going to give the other party a "surprise", why did it seem that the other party seemed to be in control.
"It's just a guess, but it should be only them. After all, if the aborigines find the creation egg, they won't understand what it is. For them, it's either weird or sacred. Anyway, they are superstitious and naturally won't feel it What is the impact of the collapse of the three views..."
The creator put his hand on his chin and said thoughtfully, his expression was very calm.
"If you are a player, you definitely don't have the strength to find those places at the moment. If you take 10,000 steps back, even if you find them, you will laugh it off. , that world is a game, and it's normal to find easter eggs that don't fit in with the world view..."
"——So, it's probably just my colleagues?"
