Douluo's ice devil Yuhao

Chapter 452
Watching the process of large-scale machinery working seems to contain a unique charm, and people can watch quietly for a long time without getting bored.

The Sun and Moon Temple of Heaven is expected to become the largest landmark building in Mingdu in the future, and the construction site is also unprecedentedly grand.It was the first time for Huo Yuhao to see many large-scale soul guides specially used for engineering in operation, which satisfied his curiosity.

He just hung in the air, watching with interest.

The outer circle of the altar is a large open space, and looking to the north is the direction of the center of Mingdu.Now you can't see the shadow of the altar from a high-rise building in Mingdu, but when it rises from the ground, you can even see it from the top of the palace.

Whenever the emperors of the sun and moon in the future generations stand on the imperial city and look south, they will remember the great achievements of the ancestors of the Xu family.

Of course, Huo Yuhao will not remember these things that he thinks have no meaning. The Sun and Moon Xu family will probably not be passed down for eternity, and they will die before the second generation.

Since ancient times, the supreme rulers of all civilizations have been keen to build functional buildings with strong political implications for themselves.Although these buildings have become valuable cultural heritage after the precipitation of history and time, they inevitably involved a lot of effort during the construction process, wasting people and money. Huo Yuhao was quite emotional about this.

But at the moment, Huo Yuhao feels that the construction of the Sun and Moon Temple of Heaven is okay. After all, there are no workers here in the ordinary sense. All the people involved in the construction are at least a second-level soul master. Most people who want to participate are not qualified to participate.

Huo Yuhao looked at the operating engineering soul guides below: "Tsk, tsk, this is the benefit brought by the development of science and technology. The productivity leap brought by science and technology benefits all aspects."

Huo Qiuer raised an eyebrow: "For example?"

"For example, there are many high-rise buildings in Mingdu, but there are not so many high-rise buildings in Xingluo City." Huo Yuhao explained casually.

Tianmeng got a little bored and asked lazily: "Yuhao, is this place so important? I think it's just two weird platforms..."

The Snow Emperor smiled slightly: "It is said to be a sacrifice to heaven, but in fact this is an important place used by humans to sacrifice their ancestors. The ceremony naturally needs to be particularly grand."

Tianmeng whispered: "Actually, I just can't understand how important it is to sacrifice ancestors..."

Huo Yuhao asked: "Are you unable to understand sacrifices or ancestors?"

Tianmeng fell into silence.

Seeing her silent expression, Huo Yuhao nodded: "It seems that he doesn't even understand."

Ice Emperor interjected coldly: "It's really not very understandable from the perspective of our soul beasts. Many soul beasts have never seen their parents since they were born, and there are even soul beasts and parents who prey on each other, let alone Ancestors who don’t even have a concept anymore.”

"In my opinion, this is just the spiritual sustenance that short-lived humans seek for themselves. After all, soul beasts can live for thousands of years, while humans only live for a few hundred years. Whether it is a human or a soul beast, death is death. There is no point in sacrificing or not, so we will spare no effort and use every possible means to pursue eternal life."

Huo Yuhao was touched by her words, and after a few seconds, he spoke.

"Actually, I thought this way a long time ago, but now my mind has changed."

"Undead magic tells me that the essence of life is the soul, not the body. Even if the soul is broken and there is no possibility of resurrection, we must have the most sincere respect for death."

"As a necromancer, I should maintain respect for the act of worshiping the dead."

Huo Qiuer snorted: "I didn't see it."

After Huo Yuhao finished praising him, a malicious smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Of course, this is just the professional ethics that a necromancer should possess in theory. As for me, I will treat some people who are innocent enough to die differently."

Hearing this, Huo Qiuer muttered again: "Maybe the souls of the deceased have traveled to an unknown world."

"Maybe, in reincarnation, lucky people like me may not be the exception."

Huo Qiu'er looked down and said lightly: "Actually, I'm very confused."

"why?"

"As Electrolux said, a person's soul is the soul, not the body. Does that mean that everyone you know so far is just a superficial body, and you have never known anyone before? His soul?" Huo Qiuer analyzed it very seriously.

Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes at her: "Have you forgotten that I am a necromancer? I can see other people's souls directly through the body."

Huo Qiuer's mouth twitched and she asked reluctantly: "Then let me change the question. Since the soul is where a person is, then where does his soul go after he dies?"

As she spoke, she paused and asked carefully.

"If there is no soul in the world, then as the Ice King said, death is death. But there are souls in the world, where will they go after death? Isn't this question more embarrassing than the death of a person and the extinguishing of a lamp? Don’t you think about food and tea?”

Huo Yuhao looked at Huo Qiu'er speechlessly, wondering if she was struggling with this issue because he couldn't use undead magic.

He originally wanted to tell Huo Qiuer the answer to this question from a theoretical point of view, that the soul would naturally dissipate from the world and be reincarnated, but suddenly he felt a tremor in his head for no reason.

Huo Yuhao's expression was originally very easy-going, but after hearing these words, he calmed down in an instant.

He didn't know why, but he just felt that this issue was somehow related to something extremely important, and even the power of destiny in the sea of ​​​​spirit had a special movement.

Huo Yuhao frowned and subconsciously glanced at the sky.

"Can't answer?" His behavior aroused Huo Qiu'er's surprise.

"No, that's a good question." Huo Yuhao said solemnly, "Compared to the known complete demise, the unknown road may also lead to a worse situation."

"I have written this question down. When Yi Lao wakes up, I will definitely ask him for advice. Remember to remind me."

"No, no need to remind you."

After speaking, he took out a memo, recorded the issue in a book, and then stared at the words on the paper coldly.

Where does the soul go after death?

For ordinary people, this is just a philosophical question after dinner, but for the necromancer, the connotation of this question is too far-reaching.

After a while, Huo Qiuer looked down again and asked: "It seems that you, a national traitor, do not intend to help them continue to worship heaven. What do you plan to do with this temple in the future? Will it be demolished or destroyed?"

Huo Yuhao then put away the banknotes and said matter-of-factly: "This kind of precious building left over from the previous dynasty must be well preserved. How can it be simply demolished?"

"In the future, the land around the Temple of Heaven near Mingdu will be circled and developed into a tourist attraction, allowing people from all over the mainland to come here to visit. Then introduce to them, oh, it turns out that this is the Xu family, the former ruler of the Sun and Moon Empire. Foundation.”

"Okay, let's go when you've seen enough."

"Where?"

"Go to the palace and show Xu Tianran's muscles."

　It’s better to write slowly and at your own pace. There are still a lot of things to explain later...it won’t be good if you finish it in a hurry.

　　Let the author complain at night. In fact, writing a book has had a huge impact on me. First, it has greatly affected my work and rest. I don’t get enough sleep every day and suffer from frequent insomnia.Second, colleagues and leaders know about writing a book, but to be honest, the author himself has not done his job very well, so the leaders have opinions and wonder if you don't work hard and spend all your energy on writing the book.The author will become a full-time employee immediately and still wants to perform well at work.

　　I've been really anxious lately and I feel like I can't write at all. I'm really sorry.
