Yuanshen: The sea of ​​sand at the beginning, straight to the seat of God

Chapter 297 295 - Choices

"It would also be a lie to say that he is not afraid of his fate."

Nasida, who was listening in, still stood up, "He made everyone aware of what happened to him, didn't he?"

"Yes, he has no scruples in handling this matter." Rama said with a smile, "A traveler from outside the world, his sister was kidnapped by a strange god... He was in Mondstadt We told Mondstadt’s top management about these things when we were there, and we all knew that Mondstadt’s situation at that time was similar to that of a sieve.”

The information I got today is on someone else’s table today.

Mondstadt at that time, it was no wonder that Diluc didn't want to talk about the Knights of the West Wind even when he was talking to Qin.

It wasn't just the helplessness and contempt that forced him to issue a hush-hush order when his father died because he solved the dragon disaster. More importantly, he really looked down on him.

"Of course, this was because he didn't understand Mondstadt at that time, but later in Liyue, he still chose to make this matter public."

"He knew the repercussions of doing so, but he just wanted to find his sister."

Rama said softly, "Most things cannot be hidden from him. It's just that he wants to get in and doesn't want to get out. This is human nature."

Whether it was being used as a knife to solve troubles during the trip, or simply embarking on the trip to Teyvat with some worries, Sora actually knew the relationship behind many stories, but he rarely refused these troubles.

If you say it's purely kindness, this isn't it.

Probably more often than not, it's just to get more chips to get my sister back.

"It's not because I'm not afraid, it's just because I have something I want more, so I'll continue on this path." Rama suddenly laughed and said, "You're not asking me for this reason, right? That's it. Ask me, 'Rama, for you, is there anything more worthy of courage than what you are afraid of that would make you regain your courage and embark on the path of adventure?'"

"Your focus is sometimes very strange." Nasida rubbed her eyebrows, "I will not use such words to force you."

He saw the core of this rhetoric at a glance.

"Really?" Rama said, "He is very optimistic about my future, and is even willing to engage in a life-and-death game with Akhmal for nearly a thousand years, just to bet that I and my system will be able to survive one day in the future. Save Teyvat.”

"I don't have these memories, but according to your description, I really respect this Lord Tree King." Nasida said without any hesitation, "But just because I don't have these memories, when I am in trouble, the only thing I can see is All the kindness and light come from you, so I don’t expect you to be a hero.”

His words were serious, "In your stories, heroes always seem to be associated with sacrifice, but I don't need your sacrifice."

"I am not the princess in your fairy tale. I am the god of Sumeru and the god of Teyvat."

"I will protect my country and my world myself." He pursed his lips, "At any cost, including my life."

"But this will never include your life. If protecting them requires sacrifice from you, not me, then the destruction of this country and this world is the right thing to do and the way to go."

Sacrifice is certainly necessary.

Sacrifice deserves respect and should not be trumpeted, because usually, those who have the ability to advocate sacrifice happen to be the part that will not be sacrificed.

In order to achieve certain victories, you really have to make concessions and actively sacrifice some "not important" things.

But Nasida believed that unless it was herself who needed to be sacrificed, such sacrifices would be considered unnecessary sacrifices.

He has a strong sense of responsibility, but is also too rational. He rarely extends his demands to others... It should be said that this is also a characteristic of the gods of Teyvat. They have too much care for the humans who worship them but very few requirements, even though these humans can't do anything for them.

Even General Thunder and Lightning chose to remain silent about everything after achieving "eternity will bring short-term pain and longer-term stability" according to his operating logic.

It's not that I don't know the consequences of my behavior, but after weighing the consequences, I think this is a better choice for Inazuma.

The only problem with this is that this is just what He thinks.

Human beings have a short lifespan and have to pursue a moment of happiness. This is an inevitable trend determined by the length of life. Mayflies that live and die quickly cannot think about a hundred-year plan, and human beings do not want to think about the future after a thousand years.

Unfortunately, after Inazuma's God made this judgment, He did have the ability to impose his judgment on everyone, so there was no possibility of saving Inazuma's situation.

But the bad situation does not affect the occurrence of gods loving people. It only proves that you love a life and are willing to give it what you think is best, but it does not necessarily like what you think is good. .

A bad ending doesn't mean you don't love it, it just means that you love it in a way that it doesn't like, that's all.

Nasida was, and so was Thunderbolt General.

Rama was almost silent for a moment, and he couldn't seem to be touched. He just smiled and joked: "When you say that, I feel the urge to make sacrifices for our great god."

"You see, He is so considerate and willing to understand all your difficulties and sufferings, and is willing to bear all the subsequent troubles alone."

So how can you not stand up properly again for Him.

"I don't say this because I hope you will be moved by this and finally choose to take a path that you reject." Nasida shook her head.

"I believe you, but I have to say, you said these words at the wrong time." Rama agreed, "At this point in time, if you say something right, I will think you are saying something ironic, and if you say something ironic, I will think you are forcing me. I make sacrifices."

"This is not your problem, it's my problem, a coward who has become afraid to move forward."

Rama said lightly, "This matter has nothing to do with you. You did nothing wrong. It is my problem."

"You repeated it twice, so you don't think so, at least you don't think so." Nasida paused.

"That's what I think, but this is the result of my conversation with Kong. I don't know what he said is right, but I don't want to hear it." He rubbed his brows, his words were tired, "Demon God level Power can indeed only be shown in front of mortals."

To put it simply, the level of a brave man must be proportional to that of the Demon King, unless he is an invincible style.

But judging from the performance of the Gemini, Teyvat is obviously not an invincible story, because the number of times he failed in vain is almost the same as the number of times he turned the tide.

Therefore, his strength continues to improve, which means that the crisis behind the scenes is far more powerful than his current strength.

And the strength of Rama now is almost the same as that of Sora who first entered Sumeru.

But this is the benefit of a life-level jump. He will still have a period of rapid growth, but in terms of strength growth, no one can grow faster than Sora.

Rama's growth is a normal life level, just like a child growing into a young man, while Kong's growth curve is similar to that of a medieval farmer turning into an ancient dragon who has nothing to do every day to catch princesses. This has nothing to do with growth, it is a complete mutation.

In other words, if he stops, Sora will find troublesome problems in the future, and Rama can only wait for Sora to solve them.

He retains his only choice before the storm of fate - he can choose to die himself or be crushed to death by fate, but the power of survival is completely given to other people, and the hope of survival will be entrusted to others. hands.    This is the price of giving up.

Rama suddenly felt tired and unwilling.

If you just give up, you can probably eliminate a lot of dangers. Of course, it doesn't rule out that the other party will see you as a showoff, so they no longer have any hope for you, and will take away all the gifts given to you. ······This is really not a good thing.

Even as a chess piece, he is doing quite well now.

Of course it doesn't matter if someone takes away your talent. Anyway, as long as you keep what you have now, it will be enough for Rama who plans to become a mortal.

But if someone has to take away his life, then there is no way to accept it.

He wanted to be a pawn, not because he was afraid of being used as a pawn, but because he was afraid of the inevitable future of having his life taken away after becoming a pawn.

But if the price of stopping is death, then this matter is really quite troublesome.

"No, so no matter how I go, I will be dead?" Rama was suddenly a little surprised.

He rubbed his cheeks, making the expression on his face much more natural.

"Rama, Rama, can't you expect anything good? Why do you have to pursue something that you don't understand at all, but supports many of your plans?"

Rama sometimes doubted himself.

When a normal person accepts the golden finger of the system, would he really doubt its dangers instead of accepting it happily?

But when He asked Himself this question, Rama already had the answer.

"If my words hurt your heart, I am willing to apologize for it." He held the hand of the silent god with a helpless expression, "You know that people always speak ill of those close to them, but they rarely speak ill of those who treat them badly. Bad people vent their anger outright.”

"Because venting anger to your relatives and friends is often the least costly. Your relatives and friends may be angry or even sad because of your bad words, but they are unlikely to directly choose to cut off from you just because of a single bad word. contacts."

"On the contrary, it's the bad guys. If you vent your anger on them, they will really make you pay for your words and deeds right away."

Rama sighed, "I know this truth, so I treat Fa Lushan gently and will not describe my difficulties to Candice, let alone let the girls see my decadence while enjoying the drama. "

"But I still failed to practice this truth in the end, because I doubted your good intentions and regarded it as inflammatory words to force me to die."

Even when you are in the most difficult situation, you still need to dress in a personable manner.

Revealing your difficulties to outsiders will not get you any help, but if you pretend to be human, you may get some unexpected benefits.

So Rama would not describe the difficult situation he faced to anyone.

This is not because of the secrecy of the system... Rama is really not worried about this, he just won't show his difficult side to others.

But He would tell Nasida that He didn't want to move on.

And it was this person who chose to be honest, but he received the only harsh words when he encouraged him. Rama did not dare to say that he had not doubted that the other person's encouragement was a kind of stimulating words to force him to go on the road - Rama Doubts are normal. People like him can even doubt his own innate system, let alone the concern of others.

But this suspicion is unreasonable and should not be uttered at all.

The words that He had not said to anyone, including Sora who was more straightforward in his persuasion, were the only ones he chose to say to Nasida.

"I am always the most indifferent to those who care about me the most, and I will apologize for this." Rama apologized deeply, "So, can you give me a chance to atone for my sins."

Regarding whether to forgive or not, this is the other party's business, and you cannot ask the other party to forgive.

After making a mistake, the only thing a person can do is to atone. As for whether he can be forgiven, this is not something he can interfere with.

"If you apologize and change at this time, then I am really forcing you to take this path." Nasida thought for a moment, "That's not what I thought."

"I just said that I would think so." Rama said, "But I changed quickly. Now I don't think so. I still want to pursue power."

Rama still doesn't think highly of his future choices, believing that even if he works hard, it will be difficult to get a real chance to make a decision in the end.

This is not really because He is pessimistic and dejected, but because the time is too short.

The time required to travel to the seven countries by air is too short. After all, his golden finger is not a deer-type golden finger, and he can easily become invincible.

Rama had already started planning the plan before Kong started traveling, but now, he could only say that he had equaled Kong.

But there is really no way to have a specific measurement of Sora's growth rate.

This can't even be said to be a free cheat, because he himself is much stronger.

Most heroic stories are about brave men becoming stronger, but there are also a few stories about brave men regaining their former selves.

Obviously, Sora is the latter.

In these stages, he is not getting stronger at all, but looking for the powerful self he once was.

Can you catch up with Sora?

It's really hard to tell.

Rama's face was calm.

But if he must fail one day in the future, he still feels that he will fail despite his efforts. It is much better than regretting his retreat and cowardice today when he is unable to do anything in the future.

There is no such thing as just trying your best. If you lose, you lose. If you lose too much, you can’t comfort yourself with anything.

For this kind of game that requires gambling on life, it is a bit too innocent to say that you try your best. This is not something that can be done without regrets. In fact, the harder you work, the more painful the final failure will be.

But at least for a moment, you once held the choice of the future in your own hands.

You only have it for a short time, but at least you do have the power to choose.
