A person who is still determined to die in a firm and mentally stable state will often appear gentle and free.
When Aleister first met the two of them, he could clearly feel a strange sense of alienation - that weird sense of dissonance was hard to describe, just a bit It's like a theater actor dressing up in a play but using an everyday tone that's just as weird as your normal speech.
Because he was "prepared to die", he said everything he could without any scruples, as if he was giving his last words. There is no need for intrigues or exchanging information... As long as Aleister wants to know, they will tell it.
...That kind of mentality is like a player who has made up his mind to afk (leave the game for a long time or permanently). If he encounters any trouble or help from other players, he will try his best to Give the other person whatever you have to solve the problem.
It is an attitude of "I don't care much about these things anymore". Even if the person being helped is not very familiar with this game, he can always clearly feel that "the other party seems to be planning to quit."
Adolf is obviously planning to quit.
It’s just that the game he plans to quit is called “life”.
Matthias sighed slowly: "Why bother..."
Aleister read a rather complicated meaning from the tone of the first generation of the dark side.
Obviously, Matthias does not agree with Adolf's undead transformation.
But he was also helpless... As the most powerful man in the world, he still couldn't stop his students from embarking on this wrong path one after another. After all, he himself was walking on this path, and he could not give his students a new path.
Just like a demonologist will always be promoted to a demon incarnation - there is no way ahead, this is the only way.
Once the undead transformation is completed, you may immediately gain powerful power... but it also means that you will no longer be a transcendent person, but become a fantasy demon.
It is different from the demons who can still serve the Fallen Sky Division and continue to achieve transcendence through contracts and devouring souls. Becoming an undead means losing the possibility of going further. Unless he gets the favor of the Pillar God or Tiansi and is named an apostle...that's basically it.
For example, the King of the Wild Hunt - he was already so strong when he became the King of the Wild Hunt. Even if hundreds or thousands of years pass, he will still be so strong. The same goes for the Earthbound Spirit Alice... they will only become weaker due to various accidents, or gain some gains due to the blessing of an environment that is too yin-qi, but they will not become stronger.
Once you become an undead, your emotions will inevitably become indifferent.
Even if one preserves one's body completely and becomes a "dead person whose remains remain", at least the adaptability of the four paths will be stripped away. Except for the twilight path, it is equivalent to only half of the emotions and thoughts of a living person.
However, Adolf just shook his head: "You also know... If we can get to this point, we will inevitably pursue a peaceful eternity."
"No matter in matter, In the world, he became an undead, or was sent into the amber forest, or became a memory trace imprinted by Lingbo Tiansi... In fact, there is not much difference. The former at least means I can protect the ziggurat for a few days, doesn't it? "
"Could it be that other generations of black men are also..."
Hearing this, Aleister reacted: "So they all disappeared, right? ? ”
Theoretically speaking, the life span of the Twilight Path Extraordinary is the longest - as far as she knows, there is even a Twilight Path Extraordinary who has a life span of more than five thousand years and is still alive in the world. However, the frequency of the black phase of the Ziggurat is several times faster than that of the red phase. It will basically change once every 20 to 30 years. However, the number of extraordinary beings at the fifth level of Star Antimony has not increased much. < /p>
Aleister originally thought that these dark figures died in accidents, or fed the ziggurat with their souls...or they were actually hiding, It has become the hidden power of the Spiritual Tower, but this cannot explain why there is no movement in the Spiritual Tower after the arrival of the Fallen God.
It can be said that the first generation of Black Phase has fallen into a sleep that cannot be awakened. —What about the previous black men?
They are not lichs and have no need for "dragon sleep".
"You guessed it right. "
Adolf nodded happily: "This is a fate for us. The shackles called 'The Path' can drive people crazy.
“But becoming undead...means that we will gradually forget everything in our lives, and eventually sooner or later we will leave the ziggurat and go to a more peaceful and lonely place. Because by then, through The pagoda will be too noisy for them... This kind of separation has been repeated more than once. It won't be the last time for me."
The original Aiwass may not be able to understand it." What kind of power is "Tour Impulse"?
But now Aleister understands very well that they will make such a choice.
After all, the influence and control of the path of love she has endured can be said to be only higher than that of the black figures in the Ziggurat.
The upper-level extraordinary people in this world may not be able to live much better than the lower-level extraordinary people. Although the strength has become stronger and the circle has become more advanced, you will soon encounter difficulties and enemies of the same level. It is rare to encounter a fourth-level transcendent who can rely on his strength to suppress the domineering transcendent below the fourth level... After all, there are many fifth-level powerful men above his head.
Only when one is powerful enough to be considered a head in the fifth energy level, one can barely escape the shackles. But even so, it will still be supervised by the Theocracy... From this perspective, although the world is full of crises, it is still in order.
But on the other hand, once the extraordinary profession is promoted to the fourth level,The influence of Tao on personality and psychology immediately becomes obvious. If one is not careful, he will be affected by Tao and lose control and go crazy.
"...I remember that the 'eldest son's disaster' during the Herasl Empire also came from this."
Aleister thought of the events during the Herasl Empire. This kind of difficult and complicated disease: "If you reach the limit of your energy level, but refuse to enter the promotion ceremony and no longer continue to be promoted, the long-standing impulse on the road will drive you crazy. It must be separated by giving birth to a child. Only part of one's own path impulse can maintain one's sanity."
In fact, he occasionally wondered whether those crazy children of the moon were stuck at the limit of the corresponding path for too long and were unable to become stronger. Crazy.
"...This statement is not accurate enough. It comes from the summary of the troubles of geniuses or the survival experience of overly conservative cowards."
Adolf sighed with regret. He took a breath: "Because, not everyone's talents are enough to 'reach the limit'."
"For example, myself - although I have reached the fifth level of transcendent, I am not even the fifth level." One-third of the journey to the fifth energy level has not been completed. However, I have clearly sensed that I have reached the end. The power of the path that my soul can carry has reached its limit, like a lake filled with water.
"But the 'desire to become stronger' that comes from the impulse of the road is like a heavy rain. It still keeps bringing me new rain. It cannot make me stronger, it can only make me The pressure increased. The larger the lake, the greater the pressure.
“I knew I wouldn’t reach the finish line, but that didn’t matter.
"——Our destiny is just to climb, reaching the peak is the career of the next generation."
...That's it.
Aleister suddenly realized that he had finally completed the last piece of the puzzle.
Even if you don’t reach the limit of the path, as long as you reach the limit of your own talent... or in other words, as long as you cannot improve for a long time, the impulse of the path will gradually accumulate to the point of making people mad. That's why many people have lived for a long time, but their extraordinary abilities have not reached the fifth or even fourth level, because their talents have reached their upper limit. Unless there is some major event that changes their mind and personality drastically, they may have almost exhausted their potential after becoming a transcendent for more than 20 years.
From this perspective, this may also be a potential "lifetime lock".
Although the giants back then had long lifespans, their mental state was obviously not very good... basically everyone was crazy.
...Wait?
Aleister was startled when he thought of this.
Could it be that this is also the reason for Ning Po...?
If you want to make the path impulse less obvious, you can suppress or neutralize it through another path impulse. Just like Aleister himself is trying hard to suppress love with impulse beyond the roadThe impulse of the road is the same.
But if you say so...
...Doesn't that mean that Ningpa itself is the guarantee of the elf's immortality?
This idea is based on the fact that all elves will become extraordinary beings - it is precisely because of the influence of leprosy that those elves who become extraordinary beings can survive for so long without having their lifespan extended. Short-lived species are just as prone to going crazy.
After all, the slow lifestyle of immortality is indeed an important factor in maintaining mental health. It makes the mind age very slowly; just like rich people who have money and leisure, and pay attention to physical and mental health, they are also better than Hard-working migrant workers look much younger - being carefree is what makes people look younger.
But the road impulse accumulated over time will not become weaker just because the elves are immortals. The concept of time belongs to the path of balance, and its characteristic is equality. Therefore, in principle, the accumulated path impulses of all races should be the same.
And another reason, perhaps because of the blessing given by Lingbo Tiansi, is why the elves will always have a stronger and stronger tendency to Lingbo as they age.
This actually reduces the nine possibilities of losing control to one, allowing the path impulses of other paths to offset the path impulses of the dusk path. Unless the impulse of the path of the dusk path completely overwhelms their original impulse of the path, it will lead to Ningpa... So only those elves with twilight thinking can become amber, but basically I have never heard of elves from other paths losing control. .
No wonder after Lingpo Tiansi was pulled down, all kinds of strange problems appeared in the Theocracy.
This is not even just because the blessing is invalid...
——It turns out that the principle of "this system relies on bugs to run, do not try to modify any bug" sounds like So reasonable!
But in this case, Lingpo Tiansi’s position...?
Aleister frowned.
However, she suddenly remembered another thing: "You just said... you want to create sixth-level undead? Is this really... something that can be completed in two years? "
Not to mention that Lily may not have two years at all - and where did this somewhat accurate time come from?
"At this point, the matter can actually be made public..."
Adolf glanced at the skeleton, then explained to Aleister: "What I am saying to you is The reason why we accepted it so easily is because we have already made up our mind to leave Lingbo Tiansi’s route.”
“——Winter Girl?”
Ah. Lester blurted out.
She remembered that the resurrection and rebirth of the undead originally belonged to the power of Lingbo Tiansi - and later the Winter Maiden took this power to go out independently. From then on, necromancy no longer belonged to Lingbo Tiansi, but became Dongsi's ability.
Mr. Adolf was shocked: "You evenDo you know this too? ”
“I only know what I know. "
Aleister shrugged and said with a smile: "Just think of it as astrology. ”
But she also knows... Dong Dongsi is actually a bit more crotch-stretching than Lingbo Tiansi. The undead is an area that Lingbo Tiansi actively cuts out, and her own strength is not very good. Enough. This directly led to Dongsi being dragged down within a year after being promoted to Tiansi.
In this case, she may not be able to hold on to the sixth level in the material world. ...
...The ziggurat in the original world line has been silent during the Ring of Ending Ceremony. Could it be that he was tinkering with his "sixth-level undead"?
However, when it comes to the sixth-level undead...
She seems to have another way.
Aleister paused and confirmed: " You want this sixth level undead...how do you plan to use it? Will it harm or destroy it? "
"To accommodate Gray Tiansi's soul, a sixth-level undead is needed as a container to prevent it from escaping," the Lich replied calmly, "Please forgive me, Miss Aleister. ——The friendship between Cyril and I in the past is not to the extent that I need to consume a sixth-level undead. "
"In that case...if I can get a sixth-level undead, can the ceremony start immediately? "
Aleister confirmed.
"That's natural. ”
Matthias said with great certainty: “And I will express my sincere thanks to you - if I have the opportunity to come into contact with the sixth-level twilight power, I maybe... can also Get closer to that realm. ”
“Okay,” Aleister nodded, “Just wait for me, I’ll be right back.” "
"How long? "
Aleister had already mentioned this, and the well-informed Mathias was not surprised, so he just asked.
"Two days. Three days at most. "
Aleister thought for a while and gave a more conservative answer:
"——In three days, I will return with the King of the Wild Hunt. "Recent transcoding has been serious, which makes us more motivated and updates faster. Please use your little hands to exit the reading mode. Thank you
