Pivot of the Sky
Chapter 163 161, Hundred Years of Solitude
The first option was to stay, when Best was a pure state of soul, unprecedented sobriety, but she could not remain on her own. The vast Aussies of the Divine Spirit can use the spirit to master the magic of death, can leave her in the Underworld, use the power of the Underworld to repair her soul, and once again adhere to the idols everywhere, perhaps regroup the shape, until one day she can truly become a god beyond eternity.
This seems to be the best option, and she is also the Best Goddess, the servant of the Underworld, with hope of transcending eternity.
The second option is to forget that the mark of the soul is the soul itself, which cannot be forgotten by itself. Osiris asked Best to give him the mark of the soul, as Schrödinger did to Amon today, by saying "name” and “true language”. But Osiris didn't just experience it, he had the means to incorporate it into his soul, and then Best didn't exist.
This seems to be the worst option, meaning the end of everything, 300 years of practice eventually disappeared, and the soul trace was left to Osiris.
The third option was to reject it, because the first two options had to be Bast's own, otherwise Osiris would not be able to stop her. Best can pretend that Osiris never showed up at this moment, still combining her soul with the newborn to be a cat as she wished, the only thing she could do in the end of 300 years.
These three choices are complicated, but without the concept of time, it's a moment of soul sobriety, and once Best makes his decision, it's all over.
……
Amon finally understood what was meant by the "questioning of destiny, the trial of the last day”. In this part of Schrödinger's soul mark, he did not open his eyes, but sat fully for a whole day before barely slowing down. Although he was not the one who endured the ultimate test, he was also in a situation where Ammon's soul was wounded and could not be repaired in a day or two.
He is in a village built by Moses and others, like a small town of Duke, with two neat rows of stone houses in the centre of a temple and a square in front of it. Amon sat in front of the altar of the temple as he spread out the signs of Schrödinger's soul.
The temple was built by Moses and others for their god Arojo, who had never seen the face of Arojo, who was “the only god” and did not allow Moses to build idols like any other, so there was only one symbolic totem on the altar - the Cross of Light.
The cross is divided into four parts: upper, lower, left and right, equally long, while the lower part is twice the length of the other three sides. At the centre of the cross there is a sun-shaped circle that emits light, while at the top, left and right tips of the cross there are three small rings of radiation, each of which looks like three small crosses.
This image flows widely across the heavenly pivot continent, symbolizing “light”, the light that shines upon the world to awaken all things, and on many occasions it symbolizes the sun at the same time, giving all things to grow and to be the source of life.
Apart from the glow and the modification of the sun, the cross itself is a mysterious totem that has been prevalent in the heavenly pivot continent since ancient times. In Baron and the Kingdom of Hati, the cross is a tool of punishment that hangs the perpetrators of serious crimes on top of the public. Thus the cruciform totem also symbolizes suffering and the desire to be redeemed in suffering. In Ecu, people were stuck on the beach with cruciform wooden stakes, and the cross frame represented the height of the flood rise, a totem that was later regarded as a symbol of life and reproduction.
Moses stands in the temple with a light cross that symbolizes faith in Arrocho, with complex meanings.
Schrödinger stood right in front of Amon, from sunrise to sunset to sunrise again, and Amon finally opened his eyes. Schrödinger asked with concern, "Are you okay? Are you hurt badly? ”
Amon held the cat up and gently caressed it in his arms: "I'm fine, I'm just losing my strength, I'm afraid it'll take a while to recover. ”
Once again, Amon lost his power, unlike the last test, but rather a feeling of confinement. His soul marks in Schrödinger were injured and needed to be rehabilitated for some time, but his body was normal and he was a 20-year-old strong young man.
Amon stood up with Schrödinger in his arms and looked at the cross on the altar, which symbolized the faith of the Turks in him, yet Moses and others were on a painful journey. He sighed and walked out holding Schrödinger, holding the cat in his arms like a baby, walking and saying: “The weather is nice and the air is fine, let's go for a walk in the mountains and play some wild. I can't use magic for a while, so I won't go down to catch fish today. ”
Over the next month, the servants of the Territory saw the Great General recover from a relaxing and comfortable life without horseback riding or accompanying him, leading a cat around with wine and food every day to see the scenery. The most common place they went was along the banks of the Ronnie River with the wilderness near Mount Ho, and no one could hear Amon talking privately to the cat.
Amon once asked Schrödinger, "It's normal for you to reject the second option, but why not the first? ”
Schrödinger replied in disgust: "When I got to the end of the road, I understood what the 'quest of destiny, the judgment of the end' was. The gods led me on that path, and what I did on that road was ultimately my own ending. Should I go back to being Best? Besides, being a lonely soul in the underworld is actually a source of power for Osiris. ”
In a certain sense, Best has been a tool of the gods, and she has slaughtered so many powerful demons that, at the time of the final test, she could not bear to practice 300 years of fierce demons, all of whom she sent to complete her mission. On the other hand, the Spirit allowed her to enjoy sacrifices in the temple, and countless prayers and beliefs counteracted most of the shock of resentment at the end of the trial, allowing her to preserve her soul.
Amon asked, "When you come back, you don't want to be an instrument of Osiris and the Nine Legions. Have you ever resented them? ”
Schrödinger shook his head: "No, I don't resent it! I'm just a cat lucky enough to open up wisdom. I don't know what fate would be without Isis' guidance. It's too hard to find the right path in those thousands of differences, more likely to end up like the demons I've slaughtered. Being introduced to the Jiulian Divine System has gained powerful power to become a goddess in the altar, with 300 years, I am already a lucky enough cat, should not complain about anything. What I do is what I'm willing to do, and I've taken the consequences, that's all. ”
Amon: "The gods tell you everything, but they don't tell you the final test. Do you know why? ”
Schrödinger: "When I finally understood, I didn't resent Osiris, he never told me there was a reason. If I had known a long time ago what the end of the road would have been, I would probably have been afraid to move forward, and the previous tests would not have passed and would not have taken that step at all. That test, though terrible, must also be qualified to face it, and its advent is a symbol of achievement.
But I won't thank Osiris, and if I guess from my own heart, I can't achieve that, and it's useless to him. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ”
Amon suddenly thought of something and looked down at Schrödinger and said: "Tseni once reminded me of three things that seemed to have to do with that final test, did you tell Bell? ”
Schrödinger looked down at the dirt on his feet: "I warned Bell, but not necessarily in good faith. I once said, knowing if this secret is good or bad for you, what would you do? ”
Amon laughed: "I don't do much, knowing is no different than not knowing. Actually, I warned my disciples as well, but there are things like fate that you have to face. ”
A group of ants climbed over Schrödinger's feet, and the cat seemed to say to herself, “This is simple, but it is also hope to reach the end of human achievement. Can you really do that? ”
Amon sighed softly: “I don't know, if that's what you're saying, go ahead and prove it. ”
……
A month later, for the last time, Amon unveiled Schrödinger's soul imprint.
Feeling a sudden turn, Schrödinger became a newborn kitten who finally opened her pale blue pink eyelids in obscurity and looked at this strange and unknown world. At this moment, the kitten is still blind, unable to even struggle to stand steady, unable to understand who she is, but her eyes are extraordinarily clear.
As it grows, it gradually embodies a different kind of magic. It recognizes a lot of things around it. Although it has never seen them, it naturally knows what they are and what their usefulness is, which makes its instincts avoid a lot of harm. The survival rate of kittens in the wild is very low, and it is a natural rule that pups born that year will be frozen to death in at least half of the first cold stream in winter.
The few lucky ones who survive also face the predation of beasts, the difficulty of finding food, and unforeseen injuries and illnesses. Schrödinger has been making his own nest since he began to tread. He brings all kinds of things that keep him warm in search of a safe place to stay out of the rain. After the first winter, for many things in the world, the feeling of knowing each other is getting stronger and stronger.
Finally, one day, it followed a stray cat from a secluded corner to the square in front of Isis Temple and suddenly realized it had been here!
This is what Best has accomplished, and she can reintegrate her life with her memories, but in the beginning these memories are tranced and need to be awakened one by one. The reason is also simple: physical and mental, soul is limited by vitality, a kitten's head does not have the ability to think or recall so much complex information that it can only understand what it could understand at the time.
Best is not extinct, but continues in one form and has another opportunity to come back. But that doesn't mean it's going to be able to recover from its past achievements, and a cat is weak, and a big dog might kill it before it has time to cultivate power. A wildcat can grow up to two years old and is already a lucky fellow.
Its memories grew clearer and clearer, retrieving them from shadows that seemed to have known each other, and once again opened up wisdom. If it was lucky enough, it might eventually return to the path to the Spirit, but without the shelter and support of the Divine System, it would be difficult to imagine. Shortly after it was enlightened, Osiris reappeared.
One day he fell asleep at the base of the wall outside the temple, and the cats around him all of a sudden woke up and ran away. Schrödinger opened his eyes and looked up and saw a god in the shadow, suddenly recognizing the recogniser. Osiris said, "Best, welcome back! ”
It was Osiris who awakened his soul in advance, and practiced his magic to tell him about his past experiences.
When it was finally able to refresh, Osiris found it again and asked, "Best, you're not dead, you're just new in another way, and I've been waiting for you to recover, and your experience has allowed you to do it again, and how fortunate you are to be compared to the countless strong ones who have fallen through the test in history. All you have to do is spread your soul trail to me, and you're still a member of the Nine Legions. ”
Schrödinger replied, “Great god of the underworld, I want to make a new choice, and I don't want to be associated with the Nine Unions. ”
Osiris said, "This is not your choice. The guidance of the Nine Legions makes you a magical cat, and you cannot break the oath you made back then. If you renounce your mission, you also renounce your strength and your path. ”
At first Schrödinger didn't quite understand what Osiris meant. Later Schrödinger began to practice. After many years of breaking through the test, his strength never recovered. But this does not prevent Schrödinger from continuing his practice, which proves that the realm is unobstructed, but merely does not use that power and passes the never-ending test. It became a cat with a captive soul, always like a cat.
Did Osiris imprison its power? Let it always have nothing but a cat's body. This confinement has also been loose, and Schrödinger is a cat with a Grade IX achievement of original strength, occasionally able to do something with cohesion, but with great physical loss to it.
Later, Bell came to Isis Temple and found a cat in the archives peeking at the classics, and Schrödinger tried to find a way out of his soul confinement in various records. Bell was surprised to find out that the cat could not be detected by detecting magic, which was almost divine divine skill, so he stole the cat by hand and wanted to know its secret.
But Schrödinger gave Bell only three reminders. The genius Bell guessed Schrödinger might be a sealed god and once said, "If I can find a way to unseal your seal, you tell me the secret. Man's sealing divinity is nothing more than the conversion of intelligent information divinity, and I am the most intelligent master of information divinity today. ”
The next thing Amon knew, Bel fled to the deep mountains of the Valley and threw Schrödinger out of the air with that magical bone at the end of the day. Schrödinger landed safely, but when his bones closed, he fell into the pool. Schrödinger took Bell's last message to Duke Town to find the old lunatic and waited until Amon showed up.
From beginning to end, after a long 400 years of experience, Amon returned as a bystander to the town of Duke, where he grew up, where he saw himself in a baby swaddle and his mother, who had died at an early age.
It is an unspeakable feeling for Amon to experience everything as Schrödinger in his soul trail, but to see himself in this memory. He finally thought, and together he couldn't stay in Schrödinger's soul tracks, and it was over.
When he opened his eyes, the sky had not yet dawned, and the cat's eyes in the darkness glistened like gems, Schrödinger looked at him with anticipation, but asked in a worried tone: "What is wrong with you, have you not experienced the whole thing? ”
Amon whispered, "Yes, how did you know? Aren't you in a state of ignorance when expanding your soul tracks? ”
Schrödinger jumped onto his leg and arched his head into his arms and said, "Because your eyes are full of tears. ”
Amon reached out and held Schrödinger in his chest: “I'm so sorry, I missed it! Because I saw my mother and for the first time I saw her face completely. I was too young when she died. Thank you so much! ”
Schrödinger's voice got a little lost, mumbling in front of Amon's chest: "Why are you saying sorry? I'm the one to say thank you! It is a miracle that you have lived through this, even without any thought in the doomsday trial, without any hesitation to endure 400 years of loneliness, just to help me.
You don't stick to the end, because the last impressions are mostly cold eyes watching your own experiences. You have endured a lifelong test in my soul trail, but it is not your own test, after all, and you do not possess that realm. You can't really prove it until you've broken through the ninth level yourself in the future. ”
Amon softly held Schrödinger in his arms and said, "Why don't you ask me something? ”
Schrödinger plunged his head into his arms: “You know more than I do about my 400 years of experience. Did you find the seal that trapped my soul? ”
Amonlio apologized: “A little trace may have been found, but it's not very clear. Can you give me a few more days? I'm going to shut the door and meditate alone, not to see anyone for the time being, including you. ”
Schrödinger raised his head: “I see. You have to prove it in practice. Thank you for your hard work. I will wait for you. ”
The Grand General closed the door and ordered no one to be disturbed, practicing in silent meditation, experiencing and rejuvenating everything. Half a month has passed since the waters of the Ronnie River passed, and Amon, unspoken, has lived a hundred years in solitary meditation. He ordered his servants not to be disturbed, but a messenger came from the distant kingdom of Hati, forcing Amon to walk out of the quiet room and receive him personally.
The messenger arrived with Amon arranged six months ago, and the Empire General had already planned to leave Ecu.
