Chapter 341 339. Great Life (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Vulcan still had some doubts about His plan:

"But now our confrontation with the Federation has also failed, and weren't we originally planning to use their agreement with Atlantis to force them to send Shenxiao to participate in the war? But now, because Ma En, who has Shenxiao's instructions behind him, defeated Ivani."

"Since this mortal is arranged by Shenxiao, shouldn't we kill him? Moreover, he has also shown talent no less than Ivani. For such humans, we should eliminate them as soon as possible. If you are willing, I can…"

The Sun God replied:

"He is indeed a somewhat talented mortal, and there is a negligible possibility that he will become an enemy worth paying attention to in the future, but if we take action against him casually now, it is more likely to expose our intentions and cause our plan to deal with Shenxiao to be shelved.

"Even if this mortal's talent is multiplied several times, it is not worth taking action against him."

Vulcan continued:

"But he once took action against us in the Southern Federation, hindering our ritual, and I have personally met this Ma En. I think he is indeed a possible…"

The Sun God glanced at him indifferently:

"I know your purpose is not to eliminate some talented mortal, and I don't care what you are for. If you really want to take action against this mortal, you can, but at least wait until Shenxiao is re-imprisoned by us."

Vulcan lowered his head slightly, but this answer was enough for him.

He was indeed not thinking for the gods as he said. Although there were not many humans with talent comparable to Ma En, there were actually a few who were not rare. Naturally, a few without the protection of any forces could also be found.

However, among the many inhuman forces, the gods actually belonged to the kind that had no interest in weakening humans. If conflicts happened to arise, they wouldn't mind killing a few mortals who wouldn't believe in them, but they wouldn't usually take the initiative to do such things. After all, their relationship with humans was not completely antagonistic. If possible, they would rather recruit such mortals to their side.

And the reason why he repeatedly proposed to kill Ma En naturally had his own reasons. Since it had been determined that Ma En was the leader of the Salvation Alliance who killed his people in Gowen Province, it meant that the castle connected to the Titan ruins was in his hands.

Moreover, not long ago, Vulcan personally went to Gowen Province to look at the castle. It seemed to be in some kind of special seal, and he had not heard of any Titan relics being lost. It was estimated that the members of the Salvation Alliance might have still sealed it off.

In other words, Ma En probably didn't know what was below. As long as he didn't disturb him, there probably wouldn't be any problems, but it wasn't a good thing to always leave this thing in his hands, and he couldn't snatch it by force, otherwise it would attract the attention of others.

Most importantly, he couldn't attract the attention of the Sun. He knew that he was doing something secretly, but he didn't know that what he was hiding was the entrance to the Titan ruins, which was why he let the Sea God, who was at odds with the Sun, watch over the castle.

If he wanted to get the castle back under his care, he had to find a way to retrieve it without alarming Ma En and others, and the easiest way to achieve this goal was to kill Ma En.

If he could get the Sun's support, killing Ma En and retrieving the castle would become very simple, but the current situation was not unacceptable to him. Although Ma En, who was protected by the Federation, was still a bit difficult to deal with, he could always find a way.

Moreover, he had plenty of time and could patiently wait for the opportunity to appear. If it really didn't work…

He could also wait for Ma En to die of old age.

"What should we do now?" Vulcan asked again.

The Sun God looked up to the south:

"The Federation and Atlantis have now reached peace, which means they can be considered to have established communication. If the sea race hiding in the deep trenches suddenly riots, the Federation will also receive the news."

Hearing this, Vulcan seemed to have thought of something:

"You want to cause them to riot and attack Atlantis, putting them in a predicament that they can't handle alone, forcing the Federation, which originally didn't need to support them, to intervene?"

The Sun God replied:

"You're getting close, but even so, the Federation may not be willing to let Shenxiao take action. What I want is not for the sea race to attack Atlantis, but to destroy Atlantis. Only when the Federation has no other choice will they let Shenxiao take action.

"At that time, they will either send Shenxiao, or wait for humanity to be destroyed."

At this time, Vulcan had new doubts in his heart:

"But the sea race has not been able to break through Atlantis's defense line for so many years. How can we make them destroy Atlantis?"

The Sun God asked:

"Do you know what the sea race is?"

Vulcan shook his head:

"I heard the Sea God and several other gods mention that they are not living things, and they are quite dangerous, with the potential to destroy the entire world, but I don't understand their essence."

Although he, as a god, had a long lifespan, among the many gods, only the Sun had never "slept." He was as eternally existent as the Sun itself, and only He knew these ancient secrets and truths best.

Of course, this was also because the secrets of the sea race were not important to the gods, so Vulcan had never actively inquired about them in the past. This was not something that needed to be concealed. The Sun God would naturally tell them when they needed to know.

"If you have learned about it, you may know that the sea races have terrifying growth abilities," the Sun God said. "Atlantis also has several principles specifically for dealing with them. The warriors there will turn into seawater after death to ensure that these things do not eat their flesh. The Atlantean sirens have to use dark magic to conceal their figures, and these are all to prevent them from becoming stronger.

"If these special measures are not strictly followed, the sea races will grow enough to destroy Atlantis after several large battles. In fact, even the initial sea races did not have Tier V individuals.

"It was Atlantis and their wars that shaped them into what they are today. They can imitate other creatures through various senses of 'observation' and continue to become stronger to ensure that they can maintain balance with their enemies."

Vulcan asked doubtfully:

"Then if Atlantis doesn't actively fight them, won't they become stronger?"

The Sun God replied:

"Atlantis has never actively fought them. They have always been forced to fight, because if there is no external obstruction, these things they call the sea race will expand in other forms. This is also why the ocean itself built Atlantis.

"Although Atlantis created a group of terrifying monsters, they actually avoided even worse possibilities."

Vulcan said:

"Then why not destroy them completely earlier."

The Sun God gave a very reasonable answer:

"Because it can't be done.

"I once discussed the possibility of doing so with the ocean at its strongest, but ultimately did not make this choice. Atlanteans have also made similar mistakes, which has led to them being able to grow directly from rocks."

Vulcan then asked:

"Then where is their limit? They can't possibly become infinitely stronger, right?"

The Sun God looked regretful:

"You're right. In my strongest period, this sentence was indeed true, but for us who are now imprisoned, they really have no growth limit. If they are provided with moderate stimulation, thousands of Tier V individuals can be born among them in just a few decades, and Tier VI individuals will only take a short hundred years."

Hearing this, Vulcan found this fact a bit unacceptable:

"How is that possible? What exactly are these things?"

The Sun God finally answered his question:

"They are a self-protection measure. You should have seen that there are many creatures in this world that can adapt to the environment, right? In fact, this idea most likely originated from this kind of thing. Those humanoid sea races are just their external appearance.

"You know that the mortals of today think that life was born from the ocean, right?"

Vulcan nodded:

"I have heard of this theory. I think only you among the gods knows the truth."

The Sun God replied:

"The truth is very simple. This is the fact, and it is also a rare correct speculation by mortals about ancient times, but their understanding is somewhat biased. The correct statement is that most of the life on the planet Eluenz is personally created by the 'ocean'.

"The ocean I am talking about here is the giant life lying on the surface of this planet—the whole that we and the mortals jointly call the ocean. The earliest life was the creation of this great being, a miracle that surpassed herself.

"A form of life that can evolve autonomously was born in her body in the most distant era. Billions of years later, those tiny creatures gradually evolved into what they are today according to the ocean's plan.

"You should also have noticed that the flesh and blood creatures on this planet have similar consciousness structures. Although the consciousness forms of insects and humans may still have relatively large differences in their internal views, if you stand in the vast universe to look at them, you will deeply realize that the difference between the consciousness structures of humans and insects is actually negligible.

"As for why this is the case, you can refer to the situation where the Titans created flesh and blood and steel puppets to fight against us.

"At that time, those humans naturally shaped these two unconscious creatures with their own consciousness and soul patterns as templates, but in fact, these two lives could use completely different consciousness patterns from humans. The Titans could also create such creatures, but they still preferred to create creatures similar to themselves."

Vulcan revealed a look of realization:

"The ocean also used its own consciousness as a model when creating the native creatures of Eluenz. This is why humans have similar social structures to the Guna, and if you didn't mention it, I would have thought they had no similarities at all."

The Sun God nodded:

"The reason why you think so is also normal. Whether it is humans or Guna, they actually only possess a few characteristics of the ocean's consciousness. The overall consciousness of this great life is more vast than the sum of all native lives in Eluenz.

"And neither you nor I are transcendent to this vast consciousness."

When Vulcan heard this, a terrifying thought suddenly flashed in his mind, and then strong resistance and doubt emerged in his heart. Although this thought could not possibly be true, he was still surrounded by strong fear.

Because this could perfectly explain why the Sun had not told them about the ocean.

The Sun God also saw his concerns, but did not actively answer:

"In fact, this is also why the ocean, a great life that seems completely different from flesh and blood creatures, can communicate with us. When she communicates with us, it is like humans talking to an unformed low-level artificial intelligence. All of our languages are only equivalent to a few words in our language to her.

"But in fact, although she is our origin, we don't need to pay too much attention to her now. This is a great being who will not randomly influence and interfere with our world. She transcends all the good and evil we know. Don't speculate about her with our small concepts.

"She is just enjoying observing her creations,

and judging from the current perfection of humans, I'm afraid this generation of native life in Eluenz is not her first creation.

And what He said that the ocean would not do anything to them was also true. In fact, she could not quickly influence this planet. The ocean's own sense of time was also different from theirs. The difference between her and the gods was like the gods and humans. The life of the gods was only a short moment to her.

When she really wanted to do something, the gods and humans in this short time scale could not perceive and realize it at all.

Vulcan realized the problem:

"But she established Atlantis to worship herself?"

The Sun God nodded and said:

"Most of the life you can see, yes, as you think, including us, actually originate from the ocean. Although we may actually have some characteristics that she does not possess, in any case, we are very similar.

"But the sea race is not included. They are the defense measures of another great life.

"A great life that is completely different from us and the ocean."

Vulcan asked:

"Are you saying that under this trench, there is also a great being comparable to the ocean hidden?"

The Sun God shook his head:

"No, it is lying on the crust of this planet. This is the difference between this great life and us. It is very good at understanding and imitating the materials around it. When it landed on this planet, it chose to disguise itself as part of the planet.

"The word disguise may be ambiguous. In fact, it has no difference from the other crustal structures of this planet. At least from our point of view, we can't find any difference. If it has consciousness, it also has a completely different structure from ours.

"This difference is much greater than the difference between insects and humans, close to the difference between rocks and language. To it, soil and humans are the same.

"And these sea races also originate from its imitation and adaptation to the surrounding environment. When it is sleeping, it protects itself through this characteristic. When living things with threats approach its body, it naturally imitates 'us'—the life created by the ocean.

"To this great life, creatures like us are no different from rocks and dirt. Our impact on it is no different from that of a meteorite crashing into it. It probably can't comprehend or care about our so-called life, and it's difficult for it to even realize how we differ from the rest of this planet.

"Just as we don't understand whether it is dirt or something else.

"It is a completely different life form from us, and even the ocean itself cannot communicate or understand it. Normally, there is no need for any so-called communication between them, after all, they will not affect each other."

"The so-called Sea Race is just a mimicry of flesh and blood creatures created by this great being for another great life, which is why the Sea Race can become stronger almost without limit, and cannot be easily killed or exterminated. Even suppressing them will only make them stronger.

"Because they are actually just a defense mechanism of a powerful being, their strength depends only on the threats this being encounters.

"And they look like the life we are familiar with only because they imitate us. If the things living next to this great being were living knowledge, the form these Sea Race present would be another group of living knowledge.

"Speaking of which, you should naturally be able to think that the ocean definitely doesn't want it to 'wake up' and leave this planet.

"Because that would just be a passing encounter for them, but for most of her creations...

"That would be the end of the world."
