Chapter 1078: The things he felt (1) (1/2)
The battle is not that important to Azief.
He had expected that the Heaven would try to reclaim back his domain of power from him. Since he had the eye of the Oracle, he notices that the premonition instinct that he had is getting stronger.
Before, when such premonition came, it is only his heart that would be affected.
He would feel uncomfortable when he had premonition of a problem. Or when there is some kind of fortuitous serendipity, his heart would feel calmer than usual
But since having the eye of the Oracle, this premonition is no longer just that. Sometimes, he had a glimpse of what will happen next.
Like he is seeing some kind of spoiler of some sorts.
When he felt the premonition of the Heaven Will getting stronger and is about to make its move, in that brief of moment that did not even last for a second, he saw a glimpse.
He saw the purple clouds and the blue clouds. But Azief quickly shut down the vision. Seeing too much of the future is not that good.
The act of seeing it might seal that future in place. This probably would take some time to get familiar with
He is also confident he could defeat the Heaven Will. The Heaven Will is still young. It had power but its consciousness is simple.
Like a toddler.
The attack he did might look like a sword attack. But it is an attack of Laws.
The gap is like a vast sea that separated the domain between the authority that the Heaven Will wielded and the authority that he wielded.
As such, the rift of Voidless gash that he had created is like a barrier or a wall, preventing the Heaven Will trying to push his Will out of the Heaven Will.
But while it is easy, it did not mean that Azief did not expend any energy. After all, he had to acknowledge that the Heaven Will had gotten even stronger than before.
He brought his hand to forehead and he could feel sweat on his forehead
His hands are also trembling and he chuckles
'It seems I should never underestimate it. And the burden on the mind…or soul when merging with the Will of the World is not a simple burden at all'
Azief felt the mystical experience of merging with the world, but he also felt like if he did not have an anchor to his own existence, then he would have truly merged with the Heavens and become one with everything without any of his feelings and desire
To Azief, that sound a lot like death
To become simply a force, a source of power without any consciousness, following the rules that is in place.
To lose what made you, you. To shred any individual desire and will. Like some kind of particles that floats all over space and time.
That is what he felt when he is in that state. And what anchors him to his existence? What made him not forget who he is?
It is his memories.
Of course, this memory did not refer to something that is in the mind. If that was the case, then those who had memory problems would surely be easily assimilated.
This memory comes from the soul. Like a s second backup.
A memory that look at everything with an objective view.
A soul is hard to explain because no one could objectively prove that it is there.
Emotions explained as the chemical reaction in the brain. Every feeling in science seem to be explained with biology or the neurons of the brain
The brain itself is the most complicated structure in the whole of human body. Even Azief who is now infinitely close to being a lifeform of pure energy has a brain
But his brain is unlike the brain of any humans before the Fall. If he were to be extinguished, the way he would regenerate itself is the same as a human fetus come into existence.
But what about the brain?
The brain structure of such a being would follow the neuron pathways and nerves just like the human brain before the Fall.
Regenerated but in essence still the same.
Even if he someday become a being of pure energy and it appears that he had no brain, it is simply because he had understood truly the pathways of neurons all over the nerves of the brain and could mimic and imitate those neurons
Brain…...this could be explained. There is a solid form to it. But where is the soul? How could one explain things that one could not see but yet felt it?
Each time one felt the soul, the crying and screaming of it, they thought to themselves, this is the chemical reaction of my brain.
