Chapter 23 Soul
What can beat death?
The Prophet Yaar had to face this question anew.

He asked God, and God said to him:
"That which does not condemn, that does not fear, that does not persecute, that endures long, that knows no end, overcomes death."

He thought deeply about this, but found nothing. In addition, in the long years of prophetic life, many mundane things bothered him, and Yar would often forget the questions he had asked God, because he saw that the Logos people gradually accepted With the exception of death, the question seemed less urgent, less necessary.

The Logosians seem no longer attached to death.

However, his brother, King Sabo, has now drawn the eyes of the Logosians back.

The Man on the King's Throne is asking the whole civilization to find the cure for eternal life.

Does eternal life mean victory over death?

Al didn't think so, but he couldn't find a cure for death.

King Sabo has already taken action. With the vigorous energy of a young king, he leads the strong hunters in the kingdom to open up in a big way, no matter what the cost, just to find the path that leads to eternal life in body and spirit. path of.

For some reason, every time Yar recalled Sabo that day, he would feel a little panic from the bottom of his heart.

This panic was looming, always breaking through the ground like wheat every night before going to sleep, alerting his spirit.

For this reason, the Prophet made a decision. For the next hundred years, he must sit in the law garden all day long and discuss with the priests. Those who are closest to God and those who have searched for countless laws in the world must be one step ahead of everyone. , to know what is better than death.

................................................

Flash forward nearly a hundred years.

God stands on a high mountain, and He can often see the crowds bustling by the altar on the mountainside.

Over the years, Chen Yi has traveled to many places, almost half of the world by herself.

And I seldom, or never, worried about the Logos.

Now that the Logosians have the ability to stand on the ground, they are no longer ignorant apes who cry for their fur.

God has no intention of marking out a certain path for them to walk, nor does he intend for them to live according to certain norms.

It's not that He doesn't love the Logos, on the contrary, sometimes people just need to lose their way and make mistakes from time to time.

Always walk on the right path, and there will be endless troubles.

Civilization needs real growth, not false prosperity.

Since Yar has already been chosen, let Yar, who is a Logos, lead this civilization.

Let Yar serve as a bridge connecting man and god.

And compared to the current situation of the Logos people,
In the past hundred years, I have something more worthy of attention.

Above the high mountain, there is a pool of water.

In the pool, there is a pile of fertile soil, and a branch is implanted in the soil.

That was the branch used to bestow rationality on the Logosians, and Chen Yi brought it to the top of the mountain.

He took good care of the plant while observing any changes during the period.

After being planted in the soil, the branch began to grow, but the growth rate was very slow, and it grew no more than one centimeter throughout the year. It took several years for young shoots to emerge from the branch.

God is very patient about this, and decades of time are but a snap of his fingers to Himself.

Chen Yi stepped forward slowly, stepped across the water, and approached that plant, little by little faint light was contained on the buds drawn out by the plant. It was not the refracted sunlight, but a kind of light from the inside. Outer, spontaneous light.

Inside this branch, there seems to be something called "soul".

"When I randomly used this plant to endow the Logos people with reason, I unintentionally planted the seeds of 'soul' on this branch."

Chen Yi made a rough judgment, he still needs more time to observe.

There is no life in this world that has a soul, but I can create something out of nothing and endow it with a soul.

god can see

His own existence seemed to transcend the rules of this world.

thump.

As God watched the plant.

An imperceptible voice came from an extremely distant place.

That voice came from the ancient Chaos at the edge of the world.

God turned his head, looked into the distance, and slowly narrowed his eyes.

This ancient chaos seems to be ready to move again.

Thinking like this, God waited for a moment, however, nothing happened.

The sound just now was like an illusion.

God frowned.

"My existence is not secure enough."

Chen Yi said to herself.

If the original will deliberately hides the direction of power and changes the world secretly, it is sometimes difficult for me to detect it as far as I am now.

And what I can do is to wait for the Logos people to develop and gradually stabilize my existence.

........................

In vain did the Logos search for a recipe for eternal life in the vast world, like searching for a embers in a heap of dead ashes, trying to blow it up and rekindle a long-dead flame.

Nearly a hundred years later, King Saber witnessed the old and wise men among the Logos people step into the dream of death, and the Logos people whom he admired and respected so much were far away from his vision.

King Saber was terrified.

He led the strong and strong hunters to open up, established new strongholds one after another, and killed one after another prehistoric beasts with spears. Time passed like this. The muscles were smaller than before, and when throwing the spear, the whole body was trembling. The spear that pierced the giant mammoth was no longer so deep into the flesh and blood, but was blocked by the thick fur of the mammoth.

The king is old, and he feels that his vigor is fading away day by day. Regardless of his painstaking efforts to keep him alive, the days of vitality, together with his endless courage, have become memories worth remembering, but cannot be traced back in each cold winter. past.

Those strong young people showed their extraordinary demeanor, spears pierced the prey's heart accurately, and also pierced the pride of King Sabo. Gradually, the past glory was shelved by him .

"Dertullian, I will reward you."

Sitting on the king's throne made of stone, King Sabor looked at the Logos people in front of him with disdainful eyes.

That was Ar's second son, Deltullian, who is also a hunter and warrior well-known throughout the kingdom. Not long ago, he killed a four-legged earth dragon that was half as tall as a mammoth and saved a whole team. Logos hunter.

Tertullian knelt on one knee in front of the throne, and King Sabor looked at him, slightly absent-minded. This young man's face resembled his brother's, and his astonishing bravery was so different from the previous one. Similar to yourself.

There was no one like Tertullian among his own children.

Tertullian raised his head now, and looked up at King Sabor, his eyes sparkling.

"king!"

King Sabo came back to his senses and asked:

"Dertullian, what reward do you want?"

"My lord, I don't want any reward."

Tertullian simply replied,

"I just wish I could go back to Law Garden and meet my parents."

King Sabo was surprised immediately, then smiled wryly, and then said:
"Well, since you don't need any rewards."

Tertullian nodded solemnly, then rose, and was about to exit the palace.

"Stop, Tertullian."

King Sabo stopped him.

Tertullian turned his head suspiciously.

"You just said that you want to meet your parents...how about your brother Alesto?"

King Sabo asked, he had heard the rumors that Ar's eldest son was at odds with his second son.

Tertullian looked a little embarrassed, and then replied embarrassingly:
"Yes... of course I will meet my brother too."

The tone of his answer just confirmed the rumor.

"Then, go back."

King Sabo did not keep him anymore and let him leave the palace.

Tertullian left, and in the empty palace there was only the one on the throne.The whole palace inevitably fell silent.

King Sabor stared at the direction where Tertullian was leaving, his slightly aged eyes revealed a hint of jealousy.
