Chapter 271 The Meaning of Being Human
Retrieving the mail-order catalog from the door, Phaethon sat on the sofa beside him.

"Is this the book?"

"Well, you put it there first."

Phaethon put the mail order catalog in front of Shangluo, and then sat back down.She sat in the hole that had been made earlier, curled up there, bewildered.

The previous worldview based on demigods has collapsed.As a newborn, she still doesn't know what her behavior should look like.

"I said." He looked at Phaeton, "Are you too nervous?"

Without speaking, Phaethon just nodded.

"Hey, let me tell you something: first of all, you don't owe me anything. My account with you has been settled. Your father's account with me, he promised me that I will let me succeed in foundation building , We also cleared up. He put forward the additional request of "to rescue you" and repaid the fault on your behalf. This part is that you were punished for violating the law, and he made repayment to the law. This is the fault of not raising the godfather, although the beneficiary is me, but he also paid it off."

"Yeah." Phaethon nodded.Still didn't say anything.

"So, we don't owe each other anything, right? You don't need to be so nervous. We are just working together now. The foundation that your father has worked hard for all his life, which is the Lighthouse Project, is now related to our 'where to go'. So Although I didn’t promise him anything, I’m on the same path as him. So you don’t have to worry about his mission, I happen to be on the same path.”

"Um"

"So, factorization is here. Aside from the axioms and responsibilities, what is it that puts you under heavy pressure and makes you breathless? The last thing left is for your father's own safety, right?"

She stopped talking.This answer was too heavy for her, and now she was a little afraid.

"Okay, do you want to make a call?" Shang Luo asked, "May I help you call Mr. Helios?"

She shook her head violently.

"Is it timid to be close to home? You are not ready to face your father? Okay. Let me call and ask how it is for you? Then I will tell you that you are safe. You can look at the menu first, and I will go out and call. "

He left Phaethon in the living room and walked into the patio in the middle of the yard.

"Call me, Apollonia."

[Well, but you seem to have become more rational. 】

"My heart has not changed, and it is impossible to become more 'reasonable'. It's just that the body of heaven and man has allowed me to obtain more information. For example, I can clearly see Faethon's emotions-not to mention her I have always been like a child, with my emotions written all over my face. The more information I get, the more I will see it. The so-called 'hearing and eyesight' is just like that, it just 'looks' becoming rational."

【is that so? 】

"Well, that's probably why you don't look very smart even though you're a genius. Because you don't have ears."

【I have no way to refute.】

"Ha, call, silly Miss Apollonia."

[Beep beep beep beep] The voice was not very happy, but she still helped to transfer.

"Shangluo, how are you doing?"

Helios' voice came from the other end of the phone.Shang Luo wasn't sure if he was really "answering" the phone, but compared to last time, his voice seemed much normal.Not so weak anymore.

"Mr. Helios, Phaethon is awake. She is with me now, and we are ready for supper."

"Well, is she okay?"

"The strength is lost, but she is ready to re-understand the world with a human body."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Shang Luo froze for a moment - this seemed to be completely in his expectation.He didn't feel regretful at all, on the contrary, he was glad that everything had come true.

"It turns out. Wait, so it's like this!" Shang Luo suddenly realized, "Daozu said at the time that everything was arranged by him. So the reward for giving your heart is...'human'? He gave you back one real people?"

"That's right. The so-called triple greatness of Hermes, one of the highest achievements of alchemy, is the human body - the human body, human identity, and human destiny are the most precious things in this world. I wear armor as At the time of Helios, as the son of Helios, Phaethon was also implicated by me and lost her human identity. If I had known this earlier, I should not have involved her in my ceremony. She should be named Phaeton."

"I can probably understand it. In our words, it may not be a good thing to be on the list of gods."

"That's exactly the reason. As Phaeton, she will inevitably face the fate of being 'shot down by thunder'. However, in the catastrophe she was doomed to die, it was Daozu who saved her. The highest achievement of alchemy, For Daozu, it is just a corner of the alchemy. In the heaven and earth, only Daozu's "Heaven and Earth Oven" can reshape her human body. Compared with the eternal human nature, power is only temporary.

Shang Luo understood - although it seemed a loss, Helios really didn't feel a loss at all.Although there are billions of people in the world, human life is sometimes lighter than a feather and sometimes heavier than Mount Tai. It is ordinary but the most precious thing.like time.

The so-called "immediately passes the youth, Shiping has a lot of gray hair. The body is forgiven by the heavens, how is it not happy?" This Chinese poem written by Date Masamune is very interesting.Time is completely different for people of different age groups. When I was a child, I would take a nap in class and be in a daze, and the day would pass.After growing up, if you want to find this day's leisure, you have to "steal half a day's leisure".

The same is true of human identity for Helios.Just like when I was a child, no matter what my parents said, "Time waits for no one" or "You will regret it when you grow up", as a child, it is difficult to experience this kind of regret.When I get older and the flow of time suddenly becomes faster, I will remember that there are many regrets in my childhood, and there are many things that could have been done better.But it was too late to regret it then.

Shangluo didn't fully understand the "meaning of being human", after all, he hadn't reached that time either.But judging from this transaction, for "gods" like them, they seem to have realized the preciousness of "people", just like adults recognize the preciousness of time.

"I roughly understand."

"But have you made good use of those powers? Although it is temporary, it is also a huge power."

"It seems that my hair has become so cool that I haven't learned how to use my power yet." Apart from using magic tools, he has not officially started practicing.
