Chapter 342 - Awakening! Radiant Knight (4)
Zero was not a saint. Although he possessed power that ordinary people did not, he had also seen a wonderful world that ordinary people did not know about. However, the more he knew, the more confused he felt. His initial confusion stemmed from his strength and evolution. He still remembered the time when Asgard joined the new recruit training camp, when Zero found out that he actually possessed a golden right eye that was known as the ”divine object”, he was terrified of power.
Continuously evolving to gain more and stronger abilities and strength. However, what would he obtain at the end of this path? At that time, could he still be considered human? Or to put it more simply, at that time, was zero or was it zero?
That was the first time he had ever been confused about his own path.
And now, it was his second time.
If one were to place their life or death on the lives of the ordinary people of the old era, perhaps no one would be willing to give up such an opportunity to be reborn. However, after experiencing the changes in the new era, this was the first time that he was at a loss for survival.
Was survival truly better than death?
Not necessarily.
The living meant that they had to carry more things with them. While alive, Zero did not realize this, perhaps instinctively, or perhaps because he was avoiding certain questions on his own. But this time, when he could choose death, Zero was tired. Live, fight nonstop. With the same kind, with the other races, the path of evolution meant endless slaughter. Even if he could eventually sit on the supreme throne, the journey would be filled with blood and corpses.
The quality of killing was not lacking at all. Zero's gun never hesitated when needed. However, would such a lifestyle lead to a happy life?
Confusion. The more he thought about it, the more confused he became.
”Alive.” Agladis, who had the same face as Su Moyu, said, ”Why does life have to struggle so hard to survive, no matter how difficult the environment is? Have you ever thought about this question? ”
After pondering for a moment, he spat out two words, ”Instinct.”
”Yes, instinct. The instinct of life is to survive. It is the deepest imprint in life, in genes, which carries on the life from beginning to end. ” Agladis casually waved her hand, and light appeared in the air. Many shadows flashed in the light. There are animals, there are humans, there are different races of life, they or they leave countless traces of life on this planet: ”But zero, is survival really so simple? ”I don't think so. Wouldn't it be too sad if you lived to live?”
Su Yun's words seemed to have touched a soft spot in his heart.
”Zero, do you have faith?” Agladis asked again.
This question was something that Zero was familiar with. He had asked him the same question back in the Asgard. Now, Zero was still the same answer: ”No, I don't believe in any gods.”
”God?” Agladis shook her head: ”The object of faith isn't necessarily a god, it can be a type of faith. More often than not, it is the meaning or reason for being alive! ”
He opened his eyes wide and looked seriously at the man with the same face as him for the first time.
Agladis was like a teacher, but also like a knowledgeable scholar. With a wave of his hand, the scene within the blob of light changed once again. There were two deer in the light, a mother and a child. They lived freely on the prairie, and the scene was so beautiful that the setting sun made the prairie glow. However, as night fell, death also quietly arrived.
In the darkness, a lion leaped out of the grass and lunged at the fawn.
Male lion, the overlord of the prairie. Whenever she saw this beast, the doe would turn and run. Its speed and stamina were enough to shake off a hungry lion. However, it chose to face the lion, and the lion eventually bit off its throat.
As she died, clear liquid dripped from the doe's kind eyes. In the depths of his pupils, the silhouette of a young deer was reflected. Although it was dead, the lion that had eaten its fill would no longer attack the young deer. It would exchange its own death for the child's chance of survival.
The scene ended.
