Her 430 Million Years
Chapter 121:
Then, a strong water wave hit.Deep Blue looked back and saw that the rip shark had just avoided another giant ocean floater.
The giant monster is a corner stone, cephalopods, like an eleven-meter-long giant old Beijing chicken roll, with all its tentacles spouting from its head. It is currently the largest predator in the ocean.However, it was not interested in fighting sharks to life or death. Instead, it quickly caught a three-meter-long prehistoric giant scorpion-giant feather-winged horseshoe crab on the bottom of the sea. It wrapped its tentacles around the horseshoe crab, and then pierced the horseshoe crab shell with its beak and sucked it. Internal organs.
"Is this big?" Deep Blue took a breath, "Big and fierce. Because of the increase in their numbers, trilobites have evolved a lot of needles, right here and here." After speaking, she patted. Chest and tail.
"Such a huge volume, it should not survive for many years."
"Don't use crow's mouth, I am still looking forward to watching them evolve."
In addition to sea spiders, they also saw prehistoric giant scorpions on the shore.They are three meters long, just shed their shells, crawled awkwardly and slowly into shallow waters, gathered together with a large number of similar species, and took advantage of the situation to mate and multiply.
Deep Blue got interested, and poked one of them with his finger, twisting it in fright.She kept laughing, but heard the Lord of Ether say on the side: "Naive."
"I'm more than 3 billion years old, why am I naive?"
"Mind has nothing to do with age. You are more naive than most Hai children."
"I don't have one. If you don't poke, you won't poke."
Even though they said that, after they arrived at the freshwater lake, Deep Blue couldn't help but poke the arthropods in the terrestrial strata.These arthropods all have short legs, and they finally climbed ashore to bask in the sun. They had to be repeatedly disturbed by their gods. It was really miserable.
"You said you were naive?" The Lord of Ether showed contemptuous eyes again.
"Really? Then I won't poke it, I will poke you." At this point, Deep Blue stood up and poke his waist with his finger.He conditioned his arm to shrink a little, and made her laugh again: "So ticklish?"
"Do not come near me."
The more scared he was, the happier she was, chasing him everywhere: "Yes! I'm coming!"
After a few laps around a huge rock, the Lord of Ether stopped suddenly, put her two wrists with one hand, and began to counter her waist.She was more ticklish than him, with her arms between her arms, the whole world was full of her laughter.
He had only given her a little warning, but he didn't expect her to react so much.This was the first time he saw her smile like this, really like a child.Then, he couldn't help tickling her all the time, until she couldn't stand still, her body leaned back greatly and almost fell to the ground.He quickly caught her, but accidentally took her in his arms.
He heard her heart beating like a drum.
Deep Blue didn't pay attention to his heartbeat, only knowing that his mind was buzzing, his thinking ability dropped drastically, and his legs were soft.
During this period, the overall sea level of the earth was falling, and ice and snow covered most of the land south of the equator.Therefore, in the cold air, in this Ordovician period when life was just beginning to flourish, the world was so quiet, as if there were only two of them and their heartbeat.
She broke free of him again by instinct and gave him a quick glance.Then, even if he lowered his head, he saw the blue sky in her eyes.
At this moment, a pair of Sea Clan men and women emerged from the water.They couldn't adapt to living in the air. The man shouted to Shen Lan from a distance: "Two of the same clan over there, how do you get on the shore? We won't be able to stay in the air for a while." After that, he dived into the water and passed. It took a few seconds before it came out.
They are the descendants of the Sea Clan far from the area where Deep Blue usually operates, so they didn't recognize that the woman in front of them was actually their master.
"It may be that the race is different. What do you need, let's get it for you." Deep Blue said.
"Can you pluck some earth ears for us? We have finished plucking the ears here."
At this time, the land was barren and there were almost no living things, but primitive plants such as fungi and algae symbionts had landed silently.The earth ears mentioned by the men and women of the Hai nationality are one of them.
"it is good."
Deep Blue took the crude shovel they handed over, patted the Lord of Ether on the shoulder, and asked him to help.But he was still very uncle: "I don't do this kind of thing manually, I can use fel energy."
"Then I'll do it myself, you'll be waiting for me by the side."
He really just waited by the side.
When Deep Blue was busy, the female of the Hai nationality pointed to the Lord of Ether and whispered to her, "Is that your husband?"
"Husband? What does this mean?"
"That's your marriage partner."
"Marriage?" For the first time, Deep Blue felt that she was too shallow to be their god. "What does it mean to get married?"
"Are there no marriage ceremonies in your ethnic group? Marriage means that two or more men and women agree to be together forever, live together, and raise offspring together. The male is called the husband, and the female is called the wife."
"It turns out that there is still such a concept, it's the first time I heard of it."
"Haha, it seems that every sea area is different. Marriage is also a ceremony that was born nearly a hundred years ago, and the older generations of the same race can't understand it. They still like to live in groups and think that our young people are doing isolation." The woman pulled the man beside her, "This is my husband. We have been married for twelve years."
"Congratulations." Deep Blue smiled.
"The man with you is so good-looking, and you are so good-looking. Although you don't have a form of marriage, you should have a relationship similar to marriage, right?"
"Yes, in my'ethnic group', there are only two of us, so we can only have this kind of relationship."
"You don't have such restrictions, so be careful that other girls snatch him. He is like this in our tribe, but he will be too popular."
Deep Blue realized that whenever this woman praised the Lord of Ether, her "husband" would always give her an uncomfortable look.It seems that marriage will produce monopoly.
Collect enough ears for the couple, and Deep Blue watched them leave, secretly adding the ability to transform the sea clan into terrestrial life.Then, she returned to the Lord of the Ethereal and said enthusiastically: "I want to share with you a very interesting thing. The sea people have created a new relationship called "marriage". The male is called the husband and the female is called ..."
"I heard." The Lord of Ether said lightly, "They are not the first tribe to have marriage. The first tribe's marriage model has been in existence for more than 600 years."
"Then are we also considered married?"
"What are you thinking about, of course it doesn't count." The Lord of Ether didn't seem to want to talk about this topic very much, turning around and walking along the lakeside to a nearby cave.
The land here is formed by limestone, so there are many caves and karst pools nearby.The deep blue light stepped on the wet stone ground, followed him and said, "Why not count?"
"The sea people use marriage to bind each other to'forever' in order to nurture their offspring, and is a strategy for low-dimensional creatures to protect their offspring. But even so, their'forever' is at most thousands of years, and it passed in the blink of an eye. Our lifespan is unlimited. How can we fulfill our vow of being together forever?"
"Your life span is unlimited, my life span is. If the sea dries up and the earth is destroyed, my life will be over."
"That's not a short time."
At this time, Deep Blue followed the Lord of Ether and entered the cave.She looked at his back and had an idea: "It's better than this. We are now considered to be married. If you plan to leave the earth, we will not be considered married. Okay?"
Her voice was more beautiful than the wind on the moonlit night, and there were layers of echoes in the cave.
The Lord of Ether turned his head and looked at her slightly surprised.The glimmer of light outside the cave fell on him, and the breeze rippled on the tips of his hair and the support.Because of the sunlight, his eyes are much lighter than usual:
"Although marriage is a concept invented by low-dimensional organisms, it is also a kind of promise and oath. How can you treat such a serious matter so rashly?"
"That's just for your sake."
Standing in the dark blue backlight, the sun weaved a circle of gold around her long hair.Her eyes were deeper than usual.But she was always smiling, with a mysterious and soft enchantment.
He knew that she was so beautiful that she had the ability to manipulate the entire sea, but her mind was filled with water.She has endless curiosity about nature, but she is a blank sheet of paper in front of life and desire. She doesn't even know that this kind of thing is low-level and consumes divinity... No, to be precise, she shouldn't even know what to do to get married .
"Not good." The Lord of Ether said ruthlessly, "I'm not interested."
Although he said decisively, Deep Blue could perceive that he was not really uninterested.Moreover, she also knew that he actually liked her.As for why he refused, this is probably the same as the reason why she avoided him holding hands with herself.She hugged her arms and thought for a while, and said, "Look, you have been with me for more than 3 billion years, and we actually have been married for more than 3 billion years. Whether you agree or not, the facts exist. of."
The Lord of Ether wanted to explain something, but in the end he didn't say anything. He just threw down the sentence "Let's do it with you" and returned to the incorporeal state.
That night, Deep Blue was sitting on the reef, looking up at the stars in the sky beyond the reach of mortals, listening to the surging night waves, and suddenly had a new insight: "The god of time and space, are you there?"
"Yes." The Lord of Ether replied with consciousness.
"Actually, I think the real wisdom shouldn’t be a bird’s-eye view of nature. Whether it’s marine, sharks, cornerstones, trilobites, blue algae... all life is indeed There are strong and weak points. We cannot make all species sit on an equal footing, nor should they be regarded as our slaves. In the endless stream of time in the universe, they are all different races that wander like us."
"That is your point of view. You have been in the world for too long, forgetting who you are."
"Don't be so cold all the time." Deep Blue swings his luminous blue long tail, and his hair shines like jewels in the stars. "How lonely is God, but as long as you consider yourself a part of this world, Don’t you feel lonely anymore?"
"I don't feel lonely."
"That's because I accompany you nagging. Without me, you would be lonely."
"I feel so good."
"This is self-knowledge!"
Deep Blue raised her head and sang softly above the vast empty ocean.Her voice was not loud, she seemed to have been touched by the first wave of high tide seawater in spring, opening the listener's locked heart a little bit, shaking off the treasures in the soul, and quickly attracted a large number of sea people——
"Look, it's my god deep blue."
"Her singing is too beautiful, I can die tonight, oh oh oh..."
"Lord of the Endless Ocean, please bless me and my lover to grow old together and keep healthy..."
With people’s heated discussion, more and more sea people swim to the surface of the sea, gradually expanding the scope of a "sea people circle" with deep blue as the center, and together with her, sing evening to the moon with an ethereal voice.
In the end, Deep Blue stopped singing, but listened to her "children" singing.She just looked up at the stars, as if she could see through the low-dimensional atmosphere of the earth, and see the Lord of Ether in the high-dimensional universe: "You may not be lonely without me, but I will be lonely without you. Thank you for always Stay with me. In my heart, you are already my husband."
Deep Blue's feelings are so full, and she always says something very emotional, which seems very affectionate.But the Lord of Ether knew that the reason she was so relaxed was because her favorite thing was always her ocean, the billions of children she created.For her, he is not a necessity.If he is willing to accompany, she will be very happy.If he leaves, she will be sad for a period of time, but she will return to the state of full maternal love.
To make matters worse, when the Lord of the Endless Sea is in a physical form and an incorporeal form, his way of thinking is completely different.When she is in the high-dimensional space, she is calm and fraternity, and distributes feelings equally to everything.Once she becomes an entity, she is easily influenced by the desire of the organism.In other words, she has a special liking for him only when she becomes a woman.
However, he is different.Perhaps because of his control of time and space, his thoughts are always clear and hardly affected by dimensions.He would choose to protect her more than 3 billion years ago, and it had nothing to do with what dimension he was in, whether it was an entity or an incorporeal body.
For such a fickle woman, he did not want to have any agreement with her.
For the next 8 million years, the Lord of Ether still ignored Deep Blue.I spend most of my time in a high-dimensional space, never actively communicate with her, just like the quietly flowing time, it exists all the time, but there is no sense of existence.Even if she took the initiative to communicate with him, he was only responsible for answering the questions and continued to fall silent.
Deep Blue is still suffering from schizophrenia, the incapable form is more like a god than any god, and the physical form is a movie of a girl running around the world.
She stayed in entity for longer and longer, and often asked him to entity to play with herself.He came out every time, enduring her innocent and cruel provocation.
Over the past few million years, the climate has become colder and colder.At the same time, primitive corals also appeared in large numbers with invertebrates, forming small pieces of coral reefs, and the stromatolites that once flourished began to decline.
On the same night, at the same location, billions of stars fell into the ocean.Deep Blue was swimming in the shallow waters, studying the lush corals day by day, and said to the Lord of Ether: "Let’s take a look, there are so many corals."
"It's just a few more corals. If you are interested, go to your tribe, don't need to call me anything."
"But I want to call you." She lifted her head out of the sea and leaned on the rock, her face relaxed and happy.
"You call me, I have no obligation to come every time."
"We are married, of course you have to come."
"Why do you start making this kind of marriage joke again?"
"I'm not kidding, I like you."
After that, she didn't get his conscious response again.Feeling curious, she suddenly saw a figure appear on the reef. As soon as she turned around, she was pressed against the big rock behind by the materialized Ether Lord.
"Afraid, isn't it?" The Lord of Ether said lightly, "The kind of relationship you want, it is impossible for you to maintain such a holy state. You will be humiliated by me, accept my possession, and you need to be low with me What Weiwei can do."
"I...I know." The deep blue and white eyelashes were long and trembling with her emotions. "I have studied the Sea Clan for so long, and of course I know what marriage means."
The Lord of Ether's Adam's apple moved and said softly: "Can you accept this kind of like?"
"can……"
"Don't answer so fast, think about it clearly. I am different from you. Once I decide to do something, I will never regret or look back. If you want to become this kind of relationship with me, it is true forever Together, I won't let you go again."
He spoke plainly, but Deep Blue opened his eyes wide, and his mood was severely shocked.Because she really didn't think so much as he thought.She just wanted to stick to him now and get closer and closer to him, so she confessed to him every day, thinking that she could conquer him.
But now it seems that she is inviting him to do something that is hard to come by...
"Actually, I'm very curious about one thing..." She scratched her head. "I think whether it is a sea tribe or other animal kingdoms, male creatures seem to like to cast nets widely and don't like keeping a pair. The relationship between one. Especially the one who took the lead. There are many children and many females. Why don't you think so?"
The Lord of Ether looked at the night sky and sighed, seemingly dissatisfied with her question:
"First, the organism is just my carrier, it cannot control my thoughts; second, even if you are born male, it does not necessarily follow most of the phenomena. Look at yourself and choose to be a female instead of a male. Are you living things like creatures?"
"How can I!" Deep Blue blushed, "I only like you, I haven't liked anyone!"
The Lord of Ether smiled slightly, but quickly pulled down the smile: "But you like me for a while, and you don't like me for a while; you miss me for a while, and play on your own for a while. Now you say like me, But I don’t even know if I want to be with me forever, I just want to take advantage of me immediately."
"I didn't! I just didn't expect you to be so serious..."
"That's why I told you, think clearly before speaking. Don't confess it all day long."
"Well, let me think about it again. Then you have to wait for me."
"Ok."
The Lord of Ether knows that Deep Blue only cares about the ocean, and she may spend a long, long time thinking about the matter between them.But his patience has always been very good, and 3.3 billion years have passed. Waiting for another 3.3 billion years is not difficult.
