Alien Knights

Todd was a little confused: "You mean, it's not an accident that I entered this world?"

Rachel said: "If your inference is correct, then your appearance in this world cannot be an accident."

Todd closed his eyes and recalled while saying: "The last memory I had in my previous life was an accidental death. I always thought it was a coincidence. However, if that was Jingsu's intention, use me as an experiment. If the object is brought into this world, then this thing would be too incredible. I mean, why me, I am just an ordinary person, nothing special."

"You see yourself this way, but that doesn't mean others see you the same way." Rachel said with a smile: "But like you said, all this is speculation. In a sense, Jingsu He is the creator of this world, and we can only speculate on his thoughts and purposes.”

Todd sighed: "Maybe the experiments and observations I just mentioned are just my conjectures, and everything is just my random thoughts."

After thinking for a while, Rachel continued: "Actually, you don't have to rush to deny your guess. According to the historical materials I compiled in the library, a lot of evidence supports your guess. Putting aside everything else, if, we assume , everything is really like what you said, Jingsu doesn’t care about the outcome of the battle of God’s Choice, nor who the winner is, he is just conducting an experiment, so what should we do?”

Todd took a sip of Coke, feeling the coolness in his mouth, and said slowly: "First, we must win the battle of God's Choice. If an ambitious man or a madman wins and becomes a god, then the whole world will only Entering another vicious cycle and ultimately dying."

Rachel agreed.

"Secondly, after obtaining the power of the gods, you must cooperate with the forerunners to jointly create a world with racial control mechanisms. For example, the balance of fate, the measurement of good and evil, the soul heaven, etc., use a complete management system to control the world Minimizing the possibility of doomsday is what I am working towards."

Rachel nodded and said: "A world with a control mechanism can restrain the behavior of individual races, which can delay the end of the world to the greatest extent. However, there is one last problem. If the crystal host actively triggers the end of the world, what will happen to us? What can be done?”

Todd thought: "I think there are two prerequisites for Jingsu to trigger the doomsday. One is that someone attacks the beacon tower, and the other is that he is tired of this world and decides to reset everything."

"The former is easy to solve, as long as you don't destroy the beacon tower; but the latter... you must understand what the ultimate appeal of Jingsu's experiment is."

"Only by understanding Jingsu's ultimate goal can we negotiate with him and reach a consensus to continue the entire world."

Rachel smoothed her hair: "In the past few years, I have spent most of my time in the library. Let me tell you about some of the things I found. According to Jingsu's three conditions for launching the God's Choice War , the chosen god, according to historical records, whether it is Odin in the Age of Gods, the Descendant of the Two Realms Age, or the Honored Master in the Corona Age, these gods care about power and territory. and the expansion of believers, no god has ever been wise enough to think about the continuation of the race and the maintenance of the world."

"Odin was greedy for pleasure, was indolent, excessively consumed resources, ignored Jingsu's warning, and finally ushered in Ragnarok; the Skyborn was arrogant, expanded wantonly, used bloody suppression, enslaved other races, and was eventually attacked by other races. Finally, they had to use doomsday weapons to usher in a world-destroying battle; Master used spiritual power and religious high pressure to control the Corona Empire for more than 2,700 years. In the end, due to fear and greed, he kept grabbing spiritual power. , ended up going crazy."

Rachel said softly: "Todd, have you seen it? These gods chosen by Jingsu have infinite power. At first, they may care about others, but as time goes by, they inevitably start to become selfish. , greed, tyranny.”

Todd closed his eyes: "Jingsu did not choose a savior."

Rachel shook her head vigorously and whispered: "Todd, you don't understand what I mean."

Seeing the puzzled look on the other person's face, Rachel was silent for a long time. Finally, she looked into Todd's eyes and asked slowly: "Todd, do you really believe in such a thing as the Eternal Empire?"

Todd didn't react for a moment: "What?"

"Todd, I understand your thinking. Neither monarch nor democracy can guarantee the smooth continuation of the country. So, you found the forerunners, cooperated with them, and designed a system for the entire world that can operate permanently and will not Faulty system, but is it really that simple?”

Todd said helplessly: "Rachel, just say whatever you think of without taking into account my feelings."

Rachel gritted her teeth and said: "In my opinion, nothing is eternal. Even the truth will dry up and fade with the passage of time."

"You don't believe in the king, and I agree that a person will lose his original intention as he grows older. You don't believe in the people, and you think they are easily deceived and will destroy their future. I also agree with this. But, you will Hope is placed on the forerunners and the laws of heaven, won’t there be problems with this?”

"You once told me that Leviathan once openly disobeyed Jingsu's orders in order to protect the ocean race. So in the future, will he change and change the laws of heaven established by you and the forerunners in order to protect his children? "

Before Todd could speak, Rachel continued: "As for the laws of heaven in your mouth, use the two extreme weights of good and evil to measure everything in the world... However, some things - feelings, honor, fate, Responsibility and cause and effect cannot be simply digitized in terms of good and evil.”

Todd waited for Rachel to finish speaking, then said with a wry smile: "I understand everything you said."

"Then why are you so persistent? As long as we solve the mystery of the beacon tower's time travel, we can leave this world forever, and everything here will no longer be related to us..."

Todd interrupted her: "Rachel, listen to me... I have experienced the beauty of life in two lifetimes, and I have also witnessed the death of the end. This strange circle of world destruction is like a lingering... The nightmare has been haunting me."

"Years ago, Muxi City was still a barren land, and even the poorest farmers were unwilling to settle there. But now, it has become a pearl in the world, and it may even open up a prosperous land. era."

"However, every time I think about the possibility that this city and this kingdom will decline and die, my heart feels like being pricked by needles."

Todd held Rachel's hand: "I know that the forerunners also have a sentimental side, and there are unstable factors in their souls; I also know that the laws of heaven are not perfect, and they have many drawbacks. But , after the monarchy and democracy failed one after another, the path of the law of heaven is the only path I can try at the moment."

"Although Leviathan is hostile to humans, he also understands that racial diversity is the development trend of the times. It can only guide but not bias; as a recorder of history, Scathach has witnessed the rise and fall of countless empires. She clearly knows how to design Only by establishing rules can we maintain balance as much as possible.”

"In addition, the two of them are also actively looking for those lost forerunners, hoping to contact them and jointly maintain the stability of the world."

Todd sighed quietly: "The laws of the Kingdom of Heaven seem very rough now. That system of either good or evil cannot accurately measure the value of the soul and judge the inner nature of things."

"However, with the efforts of Scathach, Leviathan and their creations, this law is constantly being improved. For example, the soul memories between people are gradually forming links. Bad consequences have occurred on others, but blessings have occurred on others. This information will have an impact on the judgment of the soul, and the laws of the Kingdom of Heaven begin to become more comprehensive and precise. Everything in the Kingdom of Heaven is making slow but steady progress, although there is no People know whether those changes are good or bad, but in order to continue moving forward on this untrodden road, I and the forerunners are working hard.”

Todd kissed Rachel gently on the forehead: "I know clearly that the path I am taking now may be just a meaningless struggle. The torrent of history will eventually destroy all civilizations. Where does everything start? It will end wherever it begins. But, Rachel, do you know? When we grow old, before we die, when I close my eyes, I just don’t want to regret, regret that I once sacrificed for this world. I gave up the opportunity to fight for permanent peace... Even though the probability of success in this opportunity was less than one in ten thousand..."

Rachel sealed Todd's mouth with her lips, and two lines of clear tears slowly slid down her cheeks.

"No matter where the end of this road is, no matter whether our efforts pay off, I will accompany you all the way."

"Todd, remember my promise."
