Monsters Will Die if They Are Killed

Death, what does it feel like?

Most lives in the mortal world cannot answer this question, because the dead cannot speak, and even if they can, their perception is the touch of the soul that ordinary humans cannot understand.

And the real death is nothingness where even the soul and memory are dissipated, inheritance and bloodline are wiped out, and it is impossible to spread any information that can be perceived by people.

Therefore, sentient beings can only imagine.

Some people say that the deceased will enter the underworld, where they will wait for reincarnation. This life will end, cause and effect will be determined, and the true spirit will continue its journey in the next life.

Some people say that after death there is emptiness and silence, only the embrace of endless darkness. It is impossible to think, have no perception, and is indescribable. Sleeping in the void of space.

Others say that death does not exist at all, because death is a new beginning, and after the end is a new creation.

They say that there is no 'death' in this world, because no one will truly die and no one will truly disappear.

Because, in this gentle multiverse, there is ‘love’.

There is a great being who watches over all things, and everyone, even the smallest life, will be remembered forever, just as the right thing is eternal.

The so-called 'dead' are just sleeping and have left the big stage of the multiverse. As long as the great beings are willing, no matter who they are, they can return to the world.

Therefore, this cannot be called 'death', and there is no death in the world, only temporary departure.

Therefore, there are many opinions but no answer.

However, if we don’t just talk about ‘absolute death’.

It's just a simple death like the decay of the body and the dissipation of the soul, but there is a being in the universe who can explain his feelings, not just once.

He believes that 'death' is the end that even longing cannot reach, and is the endless cycle of birth and death.

He believes that 'death' means the elimination of all meaning of life, and even if it is still alive, it is nothing more than a walking corpse.

He believes that 'death' is actually a two-way street. Life may exist forever, but the old world has died long ago and will never return.

That is the answer that a life born from stardust, dead and reborn countless times can give.

In the glorious and majestic early days of the universe, filled with countless brilliance and heat, when neutrons and protons had not yet converged, the initial universe shone with light trillions of times more brilliant than today's supernovas, announcing the creation of all. The beginning of 'birth'.

And this light is rapidly cooled under the arrow of entropy, and the quark plasma condenses into neutrons and protons, and finally turns into an endless cloud of heavy hydrogen molecules.

That is, the original ‘stardust’.

The first thing that was born was the hydrogen element...and what was formed by the aggregation and collapse of a large number of molecular clouds was the first thing in the universe that could be called a star.

The collapse and aggregation of molecular clouds will release the heat of fusion. When the energy released can stably resist the gravitational collapse process caused by its mass, the first generation of stars will be born. As the molecular clouds continue to collapse, they will continue to release terrible energy. energy.

However, due to the non-extreme speciality of hydrogen, the efficiency of releasing energy through energy level transition radiation is very low. In order to compete with this continuously accumulated energy, it can only rely on greater mass for stability. Therefore, the mass of the first-generation stars is generally extremely large. And its lifespan is extremely short.

Therefore, the initial supernova explosion and black hole, as well as the continuously spreading "stardust cloud" at the scale of the universe, were born.

Life, as long as it is stable, can reproduce itself, spread itself, and can be born in an environment that produces evolution.

Whether it is a star, a gas giant, a nearby planet, a distant planet, or in the dark dust, life can be born as long as the conditions are met.

So in a corner of the universe, when the first-generation stars have dissipated, huge galaxy cluster-level giant attractor black holes are stirring up the sky and sea, and infinite negentropy is spreading, life originates from stardust.

The most primitive life seems to be no different from a cellular automaton that can only automatically copy itself, but it was indeed born and became intelligent in the high-spirited environment.

Precisely because spiritual enlightenment is a truly random process, endless stardust lives are born in the endless torrent of negative entropy.

It's hard to explain what kind of days those were. Stardust life forms devoured each other, united with each other, and even developed a social structure similar to a feudal slave system. Most of the stars relied on electromagnetic waves and spiritual power to communicate and store information. Beings on earth can perceive time thousands of times faster than humans. They have even established a joint ruling society that is close to a country in the scorching areas where supernova torrents are less frequent.

But this is the beginning of the universe after all. As the universe expands and spreads, the environment for star life to survive begins to dissipate, the hot interstellar dust begins to cool, and new generations of stars are born. Because of many supernova explosions, the elements in the universe As the number and types increase, the possibilities for light radiation increase, and stars can remain stable without being super massive.

Therefore, conversely, many large-sized stardust life forms feel very uncomfortable in this ice age of the universe that is gradually getting colder.

They begin to release energy more efficiently due to energy level transitions, and then gradually become colder. The essence of coldness, that is, the loss of energy, will cause the "collapse" of star life.

For this reason, they can only constantly throw away their own quality, throw away the memories and histories retained in their stardust bodies.

In some cases, this is actually a kind of suicide, just drinking poison to quench thirst.

But they had to do it.

But even so, in the increasingly dead and cold universe, most of the stardust life has dissipated and died.

Perhaps they had never thought about the difference between life and death, so they felt uncomfortable and disintegrated themselves. Perhaps they were indeed unable to adapt to the current cosmic environment and were frozen to death in the vacuum.

Regardless, these first plasma life forms are indeed close to extinction.

Except for a stardust life with just enough mass to form a stable star.

Maybe it wasn't just him, but for the stardust beings who didn't have the means of communication across time and space at that time, they were no longer able to communicate with each other. For both parties, the other side almost didn't exist.

In the first period of time when it became a star, this stardust life actually didn't have many thoughts, but it knew better than anyone else the consequences of using power indiscriminately. Breaking the balance was tantamount to suicide, so it fell into silence, sealed most of its consciousness, and maintained Stability of astral form.

In the process, he gradually figured out a reliable way to control part of his power while maintaining his stellar body.

But he didn't know that in essence, it was a kind of 'cultivation', a kind of 'inheritance', a way to continue oneself and increase the knowledge of the same kind.

One kind, the original ‘Tao Dharma inheritance’.

Therefore, it is engraved in the universe and within the essence of endless spiritual energy.

Immortality is born from this.

And He doesn't know this.

In short, compared to other natural stars, as a living star, it has done a good job in this regard. The stable planetary system environment surrounding its meteorite is more suitable for the birth of life.

And such a stable time lasts for hundreds of millions of years in an instant.

The scattered stardust wandering around the stars eventually condensed into planets. Compared with the turbulent environment of the original universe, the environment of rocky planets can be considered very stable and pleasant even with countless geological movements.

Under the gaze of stars, life emerges.

And then destroyed again.

Under the long gaze of the stars, various forms of life appeared due to high spirits, and were destroyed and reappeared due to the turbulent geological movements of the planet. The corpses of the previous generation of life can even become the raw materials of the next generation of life.

This cycle of reincarnation has been repeated hundreds of times.

This not only reminds the star beings of their compatriots, those who either collapsed into black holes or disintegrated into nebulae, and every molecule of the body was reconstituted into a new substance.

A considerable part of all matter in the entire universe today originated from the ashes of their kind - those small primitive lives, or the starlight passing through the curtain of the universe, without exception.

Are they dead?

Or is it that they have always been there but just changed into another form?

It's hard to imagine the logic of the star's thinking. He was not confused, he just kept asking questions one after another, and then fell into his own almost eternal thinking, bringing up a meager corona.

But the universe is always dangerous, and even stars are just a drop in the ocean of this huge entity.

Especially in the original river system, the orbits of stars were not completely determined.

Even river systems will collide with each other.

Just when a rock elemental life form that had existed for more than seven million years was finally derived on the planet and was about to evolve into truly intelligent life, due to the collision and fusion of the primitive river systems, two stars from the surrounding galaxy nuclei The collision of massive pulsars caused the orbital deviation of many stars and triggered a large collision event.

Stellar life lies within the ranks of the stirred stars.

Being involved in a celestial-level collision is a disaster even for stellar life. When a life collides with other stars and eventually collapses its structure, the last thought in its mind is not to lament its own 'death'.

On the contrary, he felt sorry for those planets on which he had watched for more than a billion years before the little budding lives were born.

——It took a lot of effort to stabilize, but they were destroyed because of this unreasonable natural disaster. They must not be able to understand why they died, right?

Stardust himself had a hard time understanding it.

But being incomprehensible and meaningless is the nature of the universe.

The life of the star disappeared in the turmoil caused by the chain collision of multiple stars. His brilliance collapsed and flowed, turning into a gorgeous nebula.

This may be called death.

Stardust himself felt the same way. It was time for him to die, he should die - all his kind had perished. This cold and dark universe was really far from the bright, happy, initial high-heat universe in his memory. It was too far, so far that he could only feel strangeness, even fear.

He does not love the universe.

Moreover, the only lives that mattered, the lives on that small rocky planet, eventually dissolved into the light and returned to the original stardust.

He has no worries anymore.

The star dissipated in a brilliant explosion, and its remnants began to change under the violent collapse. The star composed of original hydrogen molecules began to turn into gold, into iron, and billions of years later, it became gold coins in the hands of some creatures, and some The sword in the creature's hand.

Just like the fragments of his former compatriots scattered throughout the universe, no one knows that before other civilizations gave these metals meaning, they, and they, in the beginning, were nothing more than the condensed product of stardust that shone millions of years ago.

He should be like all the 'original giants', whose body became part of the heaven, earth and universe.

That should have been the ending He deserved.

But He rose again.

From nothingness, from the torrent of stardust, from endless time, from ‘immortal inheritance’.

Stardust's life has come back from being engraved in this aura universe.

In some random corner of the universe, the original nebula rolled, condensed, and collapsed, and a star that had just emerged became a star. Because its structure was very similar to the star of the past, it became conscious, a fragment of thought that belonged to stardust. condensed here, and finally brought together into the whole of Him.

As long as there are similar fluctuations of spiritual energy, the inheritance engraved in the spiritual energy will spontaneously condense and resurrect it.

As long as there are no obstacles from powerful people of the same level, there will be no omissions in the resurrection.

This is true immortality.

At a loss, he had already begun to enjoy the peace of death, but he was forced to revive the celestial life in the world and look around the dark starry sky.

He did not know what death was, nor did he understand the meaning of life.

He came back to life, but he did not have the intoxicating joy of those who pursue immortality after their first resurrection.

He was so confused and lost, and did not understand the cause and meaning of all this.

Life...what's the point of life?

It's just dust that will eventually dissipate, and the stardust in the sky is condensed and then scattered.

【Why am I alive? 】

This kind of confusion has plagued the celestial body for all the years after its life.

During this long time, He died countless times, lost his memory many times, and then picked up many fragments.

Although it is ancient, it is not the strongest. Rather, it is because it is too incompatible with the stable cold universe and its weaknesses are too great. Stellar life is even occasionally regarded as excellent scientific research data by some powerful races that emerge later and captured. Or kill.

Because there are no peers, there is no collaboration, no integration, no relevant knowledge exchange, and he has no sense of inquiry from weak to strong. He even has no curiosity, and has no instinct to transcend himself and become stronger.

Nothing makes sense.

Star life is just confusion.

For example: a human being was born in the autumn of 1895. The smell of his hometown in his memory is the rice fields on the Jiangnan Plain, or it can be the rich fruity aroma and the fishy smell of grass and earth in the western mountains and forests, or even the northern region. In the cold and heavy snow, mankind remembers this day. He lived with his own kind for a long time, grew up, grew old, and died in the soil of his hometown.

Whether he is happy or not is another matter. When he died, he was in a world he could understand.

But a hundred years later, in 1995, he revived, with the body of his childhood again, looking blankly around the world that had changed greatly.

Rice fields were filled, mountain forests were cleared, the heavy snow was replaced by solid concrete buildings and heaters, and all familiar things disappeared.

It's a whole new world that he can certainly adapt to.

Just as 'star life' can adapt to an unstable universe that is no longer filled with hot stardust, it can adapt to this stable universe that is gradually becoming colder.

But reincarnation after reincarnation, because of the inscription of 'Tao', He who returns again and again after death is always confused.

Just as a person can adapt to new environments again and again, he will always remember the taste of his hometown.

Everything familiar no longer exists.

Even those fragile little lives built an era of great exploration of the universe called the 'Glory Era', and began to drive spaceships to explore the other side of the distant starry sky.

Life still exists and creates a new world.

But the old world has been killed by time by the never-ending entropy, the eternally expanding universe.

【Why do I exist? 】

He asked himself: "If the essence of the universe is nothingness, why did I come back from the dead?" 】

[If the essence of the universe is not nothingness, what is the purpose of my resurrection from death? Does it have some meaning? 】

[I am immortal, immortal life, but why? 】

[If I chase death, will death embrace me? 】

The answer is no.

Immortality cannot be denied.

Stardust Life itself doesn't even know how it got immortality.

Therefore, as long as there is still the possibility of "star enlightenment" in this world, He will not die.

In a daze of confusion, the stardust life wandered in the universe. After wandering for millions of years, and resurrecting from death again and again, it began to try to copy and transform into the forms possessed by other life forms.

This is not difficult, everything is a derivative of Stardust's life. As long as Stardust abandons its own mass, he can imitate those small lives and integrate into their prosperous society.

Stardust then witnessed the destruction and end of countless civilizations.

These little beings can build great civilizations that are better than planets and stars. They can form terrifying fleets that can easily destroy a planet. Their power can pull several galaxies into subspace and assemble them there. Giant buildings that are incredibly huge and beyond the laws of physics.

It is not difficult to create artificial stars. They have even created a brand new star life...but it is not the same kind as the star life, it is just a plasma fireball.

Of course, not every race and civilization can achieve these miraculous wonders, but for almost eternity, Stardust can always encounter such civilizations.

And such civilization will also be destroyed.

Because of wars, internal strife, self-division, and natural disasters in the universe.

Even just because he didn't want to live, he could die - a death that made Stardust envious.

Everything will disappear, and great civilizations will destroy themselves or be destroyed by war...

The glorious era ends and the age of war begins.

More and more civilizations are being destroyed for some strange reasons and some inexplicable causes and conditions.

In order to prove who is more powerful, for some ridiculous resources, for some people's greed... the destruction of lives happens constantly.

These reasons are far more nihilistic and sad than the pulsar collisions that destroyed the living bodies of stars and life on rocky planets in the past.

- Life is meaningless.

——Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a huge irony if someone really deliberately created these existences and then used such reasons to destroy them?

——I would rather believe in nothingness than malicious stupidity.

Thinking like this, this thought took root in Xingchen's thinking.

And during this time, He met such a group of people.

A group of people travel in the starry sky, but they are like ghosts. They never interact with any life, they are just bystanders who watch quietly and then leave quietly.

They found the inconspicuous stardust life hidden among the crowd, and started communicating politely.

[We are the Order of Nothingness, ancient stardust life forms, we have been looking for you]

They said this in a soft and friendly tone: [Confused by meaning, not wanting to exist but still eternal, empty life, we are your kind]

Stardust Life could sense that the group of people in front of him did have an aura similar to his own.

It was the same nothingness, but it was not at a loss or confused, but instead had an aura of peace.

【……similar? ] He stood up slowly, and then said with some confusion: [Same kind? 】

[Here among us are the last remnants of the extinct civilization, warriors exiled by their race, and beasts wandering aimlessly in the starry sky]

The leader of the crowd, a brain floating in a psychic tank, said softly in a synthesized psychic tone: [There are also people like me who can’t distinguish between illusion and reality, and feel that everything is meaningless]

[Life is not necessary. Mortal life desires to survive, which is the instinct of genes. And you are not a product of evolution. Stardust life, you represent the initial existence and the final nothingness]

[So, after we learned of your existence, we looked for you and hoped that you could join us]

[Join...] Muttering to himself in a low voice, Stardust Life said in confusion: [What’s the point? 】

【No】

The brain calmly said: [So why not? 】

[It is meaningless in the end, so we just wander the entire universe, looking for similar people, until death comes, or the end of all things, waiting together for the day when nothingness comes - why not? 】

--indeed.

--why not?

Nothingness has no reason to do, and no reason to refuse.

If you want to do good, you don't need a reason. If you want to do evil, you don't need a reason.

Nothingness is like this, always extreme, always wandering, always confused.

Therefore, Stardust Life agreed to accompany the other party and accompany such a group of silent people to travel among many river systems and visit every corner of the universe.

This is the oldest Order of Nothingness.

This is a very long journey.

It lasted so long that before nothingness ushered in, all members of the cult returned to nothingness.

So long, Xingchen's life has become the oldest one in the Void Religion, and he has become the new leader of the Void Cult.

Eternal stardust wanders among the stars. In this cold universe, we watch the complexity of reincarnation.

His confusion remained unanswered.

【Why do I exist? 】

Meaningless nothingness.

But this question is no longer important.

Because, in contrast to this question, "Why should I die?" ], is also meaningless nothingness.

In a life full of emptiness and loneliness, Stardust's heart gradually gained peace.

But confusion remains.

So... all this is not the end.

Therefore, until that day.

He heard the ‘great’ voice.

Everything changes.

…

The trading capital, the core.

The aura from the far end of eternity was drawn, causing the stars in the sky to rotate and turn into phantoms.

The leader of nothingness tightly closed his six pairs of eyes, which simulated the eyes of a certain family in the universe and could see through all changes in reality and reality, and observe every energy fluctuation in the universe.

Through eternity, he can witness the nothingness of everything. He firmly believes that this is the meaning of his immortality and immortality.

[Lord, please guide our future path]

The discrete stardust aggregates revolved around the complex assembly that appeared in front of him, and a calm voice whispered: [Zhu Zhou—the apostles of other Lords, are now hindering our plans, and we cannot accelerate the activation of the barrier. Even if it is broken, it cannot destroy this universe]

He expected the Lord to tell him—it had been this way for hundreds of millions of years.

Those who are nihilistic are most likely to be confused.

Therefore, it is easiest to be guided.

The purpose of the Order of Nothingness has always been simple, which is simply to destroy the great seal of the 'barrier' and destroy the entire universe.

And after that, is what happens next.

Stardust life believes that destruction is creation, and the death and nothingness of life are normal. He simply wants to know where the end of everything is, and whether there will be a new beginning after the end.

Without destroying the universe, He would not be able to see the broader goals in the future.

And can my own immortality perish with the demise of the universe?

As long as there are still problems in Xingchen's heart, he will always linger.

Also hungry for guidance.

However, it is always unsatisfied.

In response to the peaceful prayer of the leader of nothingness, the phantom composed of a plurality of extremely complex geometric figures rotated slightly.

【Do what you want】

An ethereal voice sounded, and the harmony of the autumn wind contained a little tranquility: [If you want to bring an end, then end this universe that makes you feel pain and cold, without any kind, only nothingness]

[If you want to create, create a world that can make you feel warm, and create an era that you have missed for a long time, but can only look back and say goodbye to.]

Although this voice is not loud, it seems to resound forever, until the end of the mind: [Stardust, what Zhu Zhou does, what Chaos does, it doesn’t matter, all the thoughts of the Lord, it doesn’t matter]

[What matters is what ‘you’ want to do. 】

The stardust bodies dwelling among the man-made stars and lingering around the star core paused for a while.

Immediately afterwards, accompanied by rumbling vibrations, all the cracked areas on the surface of the entire trading city began to light up with layers of colorful light and dust, overflowing with infinite brilliance.

【Why? 】

Almost angry, He once again asked in confusion: "Why is it always like this?" 】

This question and answer has always been the same for hundreds of millions of years.

Stardust's shapeless wandering body condensed huge claws, grabbing at the complex phantom, as if wanting to hold it in the palm of his hand: [Lord, I just want to know the answer, I want to know the correct answer Guidance - I just want to know what you want me to do, I will do it]

At this moment, the entire Void Order fell into silence.

Although no one knew what the leader was saying or what he was doing, no matter it was the Annihilator, the Conqueror, or the Herd Master, all powerful beings could not help but hold their breath and stop motionless at this moment.

Because the colorful light of stardust, just like the sun, overshadowed the dim yellow sun of the Trade Alliance capital and illuminated the entire galaxy.

But behind the colorful stardust rainbow, behind the phantom totem, there is still peace.

【Everything you do is correct】

The voice that was originally as quiet as the autumn wind changed at this moment, like the storm of time and space blowing between the worlds, with endless stability and grandeur in the turmoil: "Everything you do is wrong."

[Guide, we will no longer guide... Stardust, choose according to your will and fulfill your right... No matter you think it is right or wrong, as long as you want, just go on]

【And the only thing we can do...】

The sound changed again. This time, the sound sounded like strings entwined by countless fine nets. The sound of countless strings undulating was calm and long: [Is giving you the key]

[Power, authority, and the right to choose, we put the past and the future into your hands—in everyone’s hands]

[You will use your strength to implement your will, rightly or wrongly]

The sounds began to change.

[And you who are the most confused in the universe, who obviously have the least faith in the Lord, who have the least faith but have joined the Order of Nothingness, are indeed the loneliest and emptiest you]

Either grand, or calm, or long and resonant.

[Just because you are like this, you can bear all the mistakes and correctness]

And in the end, they harmonized: [And what choice will you make in the end? 】

Stardust Life listened to all this blankly.

He tried to understand, but could not.

[Why don't you tell me the correct answer? 】

He asked in confusion: "Lord, why don't you send the gospel?" I know your power very well, if you are willing...]

[True correctness requires no guidance. Stardust, make your own choice]

However, in His palm, the distant totem slowly dissipated without reply.

In the end, it left only a little spot of light and submerged into the body of Stardust's life: [Don't test, don't ask, we only give the key]

And just at the end, all the sounds disappeared.

There was only a faint heartbeat left, emerging in Xingchen's heart.

[Even if it is nothingness, you have to choose your own nothingness]

【Not 'Twilight'】

The six eyes were closed for a long time.

Hugely, the body surrounding the entire star core slowly tightened, causing the entire planet to shake.

After a long time, a long sigh and a decisive command could be heard.

[Abort the ‘Galaxy Star’ capture plan]

He said, announcing to the top leaders of the entire Nihility Religion: [Shrink the main force of the Religion, we will change the main goal]

[Notify Sky Prison and Ghost to let them go to the ‘Twilight Star Territory’]

[As for the conquest envoy, all members will go to the subspace rift]

…

At the same time, on the other side of the starry sky.

The Judgment Death Star, which merged with Celestia's golden fleet, has now been replaced with the most advanced biological jump engine, and is now returning to Earth at the fastest speed.

Su Zhou's feat of defeating an Annihilator and frightening away the will of the Flood is now being circulated throughout the galaxy. The commander of the Golden Fleet, a member of the Celestia Elders, was originally angry at the man who had been chased and beaten for two years. The Earth Fleet was still a little contemptuous, but now when facing Su Zhou who came to visit, he directly served him the best tea.

[Sorry for the poor reception! 】

Contrary to what everyone on earth imagined, the Order of Nothingness's Annihilators were the ultimate demon kings who had been notorious in this galaxy for hundreds of thousands of years. Those who could eliminate their existence were without exception the strongest ones in the galaxy at that time. Omega-class psyker.

Now, although Su Zhou has not yet advanced, everyone already regards him as one of the strongest in the future.

——It’s not considered wrong at all.

"Yara."

During the jump, halfway through time and space, Su Zhou slowly asked in his heart: "Are all great beings unable to lie?"

"It's not that I won't lie...but it's not necessary."

After being asked, Snake Spirit thought for a while before giving the answer: "Let's put it this way, if we were fighting monsters back then, let alone lying, no matter what vicious methods were used, as long as they were effective, we would have used them all, and there was no trace of them. I don’t mind either.”

"But between great beings, it is essentially a hands-on, fierce debate with fists and kicks. If you use any dirty tricks at this time, it will not only damage your correct image and confidence, but will also be punished. A shame."

"At this point, he swung his tail, like a human shrugging: "Especially for a being who has never reached the transcendent and has never spread the correct gospel, lying... Hey, I can't imagine such a great being. How sad, knowing that fate would not do such a thing! "

"As long as someone asks, He will directly give an absolutely accurate prophecy - He doesn't even do it, so it's basically impossible."

A wave of fate was revealed, but Yara's attitude was very clear.

"Yeah……"

Su Zhou closed his eyes and said softly: "That's right."

But then, he opened his eyes again and said in a confused tone: "But in that case, how was the Order of Nothingness distorted by other great beings?"

"Or...did other great beings really distort them?"

Asking for a monthly ticket!
