Volume 3: The King of Waste Chapter 440: First Generation
The world woke up at this moment.
The incandescent light gradually condensed into a consciousness. Xu Shen felt confusion, doubt and other emotions from this revived consciousness, as well as a trace of evil thoughts and a desire to devour him.
"Main body?"
The next moment, this consciousness uttered a faint whisper.
Xu Shen was surprised and looked at Maeve beside him.
He could feel that this consciousness was sending a signal to Maeve.
Maeve smiled and said, "I am not your true self. You are just a part of my shed shell. It is the part I abandoned and has nothing to do with me."
The consciousness murmured to itself: "No wonder I feel such a familiar taste from you. If I eat ... I should be able to replace you, right?"
"Do you want to eat mommy?"
Maeve laughed.
"think."
The conscious being answered seriously.
Not only did he say this, he also did this. When he finished speaking, Xu Shen felt the energy around him fluctuate violently, and his consciousness rushed towards Maeve at a rapid speed.
But the next moment, Maeve raised her hand and stopped it in front of Xu Shen.
"Eat it."
Maeve said to Xu Shen: "If you eat it, you can control its remains."
Xu Shen was shocked. Maeve's identity was beyond his imagination.
But it was not appropriate to ask more questions at this moment. He immediately took advantage of the moment when Maeve imprisoned this consciousness and released his own will to cover it.
With Maeve's help, Xu Shen could feel the other party's struggle, but the force of the struggle was blocked by Maeve. He easily invaded the consciousness body and then gradually devoured and digested it.
As his consciousness gradually faded away, Xu Shen's own consciousness grew rapidly, and his connection with the world became closer, as if the entire world had become his hands and feet, and he could control any area at will.
The increase brought by the power of the world can strengthen each of his abilities by hundreds or thousands of times.
When the enhanced ability is enhanced a thousand times, and then other abilities are enhanced, the increase can be imagined.
For Xu Shen, at this moment, let alone the king, even if it was a king of hundreds of thousands or millions, he could destroy them with just a thought. This... is already a god-level existence.
All things are born and destroyed in a single thought.
After he had completely finished wearing the world, Xu Shen looked at Maeve beside him and said, "Just now..."
Maeve smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you before that the gods wanted to create a perfect container, but failed. In short, the gods tried twice, and I was the first failure, that is, the first generation of perfect container created by the gods. Unfortunately, I am not perfect enough to become the goal of the gods' immortality. Although I can live longer than the gods, I will still perish."
"Most importantly, the gods didn't expect the container to have self-awareness, and... they hated them."
At this point, Maeve stuck out her tongue playfully.
Xu Shen was speechless.
This... He could almost imagine the frustrated feeling of the gods.
The existence that was created with great difficulty looks down on them.
"No wonder you said that the perfect container does not exist." Xu Shen said with a wry smile.
Maeve smiled and said, "Yes, because I am infinitely close, I understand this better than them. Unfortunately, the desires of the gods are a million times stronger than those of mortals. What they have determined cannot be changed. They became gods because of their thoughts, and they will only be gods because of their thoughts. They cannot move towards a higher level... perfection."
"No wonder the gods slept, but you didn't."
Xu Shen understood everything.
Maeve is not of God, but beyond God.
For endless years, the gods slept, waiting to be awakened by the key.
Maeve, created by the gods, does not need to sleep, so she can only spend countless years in boredom.
What a boring life that is.
It is no wonder that Maeve doesn't care about the existence of the perfect container of eternal life. The limited life alone already makes her feel long and boring, not to mention infinite life, which is more like a curse and a cage.
"If I go to awaken the gods, will they do anything bad to you?" Xu Shen asked.
Maeve smiled sweetly. "No, they can't beat me or do anything to me, unless they really create a perfect container, but that's impossible. I really want to see their desperate look after they wake up, it should be very interesting."
"Yeah, I want to see it too."
Xu Shen laughed.
As expected, Maeve is the cutest.
Xu Shen was proficient in controlling the world, and it took him some time to become proficient in this control. With his current existence, the effect of time on him was extremely weak, and he could pause and reverse time at any time. And for the gods, time was not a tool to record their deaths. What really made them perish was the fighting among gods and the natural loss of their bodies.
This loss cannot be avoided by traveling back in time.
Resetting time only resets itself to the past, but in the course of time, it still exists in the future, until a certain point in time when its own loss reaches the maximum and it comes to an end.
Just like a movie, although you only see the beginning, the ending has already been filmed, and you can only choose to jump to a certain time period at any time. Even if you watch it repeatedly a hundred thousand times, it will not affect the ending which has already been determined.
The gods have a more powerful ability, which is the ability to change the plot and changes in a certain time period at any time. Unfortunately, no matter how the past events are changed, the future may lead to another fork or another situation, but they still cannot change the future and will inevitably perish.
Because unless a perfect container is created, extinction is the end.
All different paths will lead to the same destination.
This is something that even the gods can't do anything about.
No matter how many times you change it in the future, it will be useless, the only difference is the way you die.
Xu Shen can now modify time, go back to the past, and even change the situation when he first met Maeve. He can go back to the three months he spent in the house with his "mother" and return to that time.
With his current will, if he were to descend at that moment, he could easily help his past self pass the level and quickly become a god.
All the hardships you suffer along the way will be solved.
But Xu Shen didn't do that.
Because all the hardships he had experienced before are now a thing of the past for him. Some people fall before suffering, while others rise from suffering. Suffering cannot affect success or failure, but it can change a person's thinking.
Xu Shen is quite satisfied with his current thoughts, so he doesn't want to change anything. It is meaningless and worthless.
Perhaps it was precisely this thought of his at the moment that determined the hardships he had gone through in his previous growth. He was not favored by his future self and could only walk on his own in silence.
This is fate. Xu Shen can change it, but no matter what kind of change it is, or what the result is, it is fate.
If he could go back to the past and help himself solve all his sufferings, he would have a smooth destiny.
"Let's go and see the gods."
After mastering the world, Xu Shen had nothing else to do. The feeling of controlling the world for a short period of time was equivalent to a mortal's entire life.
No wonder they say it’s lonely at high altitudes. It’s not just because of the lack of companions, but the higher you are, the more scenery you see. You don’t get the feeling of surprises along the way as when you climb a mountain. Instead, it feels a bit boring and lonely.
"good."
Maeve responded with a smile.
Xu Shen immediately sat up from the End Sea. Outside the body of the world he felt was a starry sky without soil. Maeve said that those stars were the gods who had been buried, as well as the gods who chose to fall naturally.
Among these stars are seven other huge worlds. Some are like sea urchins with sharp peaks, and some are like cracked spheres with a collapsed deep trench in the middle. These are quasi-perfect containers of different shapes.
Xu Shen could see that some of them had tiny races on them, with varying numbers. One of the quasi-perfect containers was surrounded by flying vehicles, and it seemed to be very prosperous and developed.
As Xu Shen stood up, the sticky liquid in the End Sea slid down from the edge of the world. These were the rotten mucus on the quasi-perfect container.
Xu Shen shook his body and shook off the liquid. At this moment, under his clothes, the decay of the world stopped temporarily.
