Chapter 289 Finale: The Female Swordsman of the Lion City (two chapters in one, updated today)
“Chapter 1 We once introduced the history of the creation of Parvatiga by the Creator God PCCJJK, and raised an important question as to why the experienced Creator God created the imperfect world of Parvadega. "

"In the tens of thousands of years since the budding era, countless scholars have conducted in-depth research and discussions on this issue. From the budding era's philosophers looking up at the stars and thinking, to the current era's systematic process and method of putting forward detailed arguments for arguments. Although different, the purpose is the same, to reveal the deepest secrets of the world."

"No one can give a point of view that can convince most scholars. The theory of divine testing, the theory of world border resonance, the theory of erosion by mysterious existence, and the theory of swallowing by the void. Various conjectures have been put forward one by one. They do have their own reasonable reasons. However, there are unexplained fatal loopholes in them, which cannot be accepted by mainstream academic circles."

"It wasn't until 50 years ago that a new hypothesis emerged and was recognized by the mainstream academic community at an alarming speed."

"Creation in a dream, this is the name given to this hypothesis by scholars."

"In 6, Parvati Calendar 1937e, that is, 1825 in the Calendar of the Gods, the sea elf scholar Democritus proposed a new hypothesis that he had been thinking about for many years at the annual scholar seminar held by the Temple of Knowledge, that is, The theory of creation in dreams.”

"Before explaining the theory of creation in dreams, we must first explain several important issues, which are very mysterious in the eyes of most people."

"How did the Creator God create the world? Where did PCCJJK go after the creation? Outside our planet is endless void. The conceptual boundary of void is the world barrier. In addition to divinity, both spirits and objects are The Twisting Nether cannot exist, but what is the Twisting Nether? Where does it exist?"

"There have been many conjectures about these issues, mainly focusing on the nature of the twisted void. The more classic ones, such as Heraclitus's concept of existence conjecture, Miletus' theory of air elements, and Anaxagoras' theory of point existence, are all They are trying to use their theories to explain the nature and existence of the twisted void. However, according to the theory of Master Democritus, they are all wrong. The real answer is will."

"What is the way of creation? It is will. In fact, the explanation has already been given in the Epic of Ximit, 'The only one is in darkness, surrounded by the twisted void. The only thinking, here needs an orderly world, and all things are formed by the unique consciousness. Change, and the world of order is born. Only thinking, living things need a safe space, all things change due to the only consciousness, and the Parvatija star stands in the void.' This is the answer to the question, without any behavioral action, There is no need for any materials, the God of Creation created this world with his will, from the world barrier to every particle of dust on the Parvatiga planet, they are all created by the will of PCCJJK."

"Then why did he leave after the creation? If the theory of creation in dreams is true, the answer is simple. In fact, the creation god has never left. He has always been around us. In fact, Parvatija It exists in the great will of PCCJJK, and the countless worlds he created also exist in his will."

"Yes, the so-called twisted void is the great will of the Creator God. All the worlds he created operate spontaneously in his will. He is always with us. Unfortunately, we can never understand his existence."

"After most scholars temporarily accepted the hypothesis that void is will, Master Democritus raised the most critical core issue, the theory of creation in dreams."

"Master PCCJJK, who has rich experience in creation, can shape a perfect world with his consciousness alone, and there is no possibility of mistakes in creation in his consciousness. But this is only in the awake state. What if he is not awake now? What if he is not awake now? Is he asleep? We have all had the experience of dreaming, and we have all repeated the day's work in our dreams, but can we really do those tasks well in our dreams? Unfortunately, we cannot."

"So, why can't Lord PCCJJK just repeat his work in dreams like you and me? He created this world in his sleep, but did not have the conscious consciousness to perfect it. Therefore, Parvatija became It’s so unstable right now.”

"The theory of creation in a dream suddenly seems to be just nonsense, almost like a child's fantasy, but when scholars think deeply, they find that this theory can explain all the questions almost perfectly, which makes people They must be taken seriously. After a long argument (in order to avoid too boring reading, the content of the argument will not be explained. For those who are interested, please refer to the second to the second volume of Dreams and Reality in Master Democritus's book Eight volumes later, the vast majority of scholars were convinced and accepted this hypothesis."

"Finally, Master Democritus soon came up with a more serious conjecture. The reason why the Twisted Void is always in chaos and can only exist with divine protection is because it is a bizarre dream. There is no order in dreams. It can be said that everything is chaotic, which is completely consistent with the situation of the twisted void. In other words, we, including countless worlds similar to ours, actually exist in the dream of Lord PCCJJK rather than in the waking will. As for the waking will , probably another vast void world."

"This conjecture is a powerful supplement to the theory of creation in dreams. So far, with the master's argument, the entire theory can be perfectly self-consistent. This theory has also been quickly recognized by the mainstream academic community and has become the consensus of the current academic community. one."

"However, if you accept this idea, you have to face the most serious problem that affects every living being. This problem is one that every scholar is unwilling to face."

"What the answer is, I leave it to you to think for now. I will reveal the answer to you in the third volume of this book."

"More than two years ago, my writing was really bad." In the library, the female swordsman closed the book, and Saff Sullivan's name was clearly printed in the author column.

Gently stroking the thick cover, smelling the fragrance of paper from the book, Saf smiled sweetly, and her eyes narrowed into crescents.

Saf Sullivan, the librarian of the Great Library of the Temple of the Gods, the core believer of the God of Knowledge, the disseminator of knowledge, and one of several famous popular authors of the Temple of Knowledge, was bestowed the title of Writer by the Temple.

This is not her first book, nor is it her last. For the writer, this "Exploration of the Origin of Parvatika" is just a very inconspicuous one among her many works, and it is not very important in terms of content. To her satisfaction.But for Saff, this is her most important book and absolutely irreplaceable.

"Hey, who told you, a nasty guy, to break into my world while I was writing this book?" There was no one in the reading room, so Saff put the book on her face, and the cold cover disappeared from her face. "It's you who brought me out of depression and despair, hehe. Although you always like to bully others, and like that person, you always like to decide everything for me, but I know your purpose." It’s different, but I just like you, you nuisance, and I won’t tell you this kind of thing.”

Mentioning 'that person', the female swordsman's eyes had a hint of haze, and in her mind, she recalled a scene a few years ago.

Ms. Sapp Sullivan was 17 years old at the time. She was a beautiful pearl in the Lion City and the dream of countless young men.

But she was not happy at all.

Regardless of the cynicism that is common at this age, nor the sentimental melancholy of young people, she was really not happy at all.

In her 17 years, there are not even a few happy memories.

In the eyes of most people, Saff has a beautiful appearance, the strength of a Silver-level warrior, a wealth of knowledge, and most importantly, a distinguished life experience.

Yes, in the human kingdom, apart from the royal families of the three major empires, there are few people with a more prominent life experience than her.

After all, no one's grandfather is the godfather of the imperial prime minister and emperor.

Her maternal grandfather, Duke Silver Fox, is now nearly ninety years old. He has held the power of prime minister for more than 40 years. He has served three generations of emperors and is the most senior among the top nobles in the entire empire.Since his godson, who was also a student, ascended the throne 40 years ago, Duke Silver Fox has taken over the position of chancellor, assisting the young emperor to get out of the vortex of internal disputes, uniting all the noble forces step by step, and restoring the Emerald Empire The head of the three great empires.

The Jade Emperor respects him, loves him, and respects him as his biological father. Over the years, although the Duke has made few suggestions, no matter how ridiculous the suggestions seem, the Emperor will approve them immediately. This shows that His Majesty the Emperor has great respect for the Duke. Trusted.

Having such a grandfather is a blessing that many people cannot even dream of. Moreover, there are not many descendants of the old Duke, and the number of titles and fiefdoms on his head is unimaginable. It is conceivable that once the old Duke passes away, His Majesty the Emperor will express his gratitude to the Duke. With more than 40 years of teaching, Your Excellency must take special care of Saff, the old Duke's favorite granddaughter who has no right to inherit. For her inability to inherit the Duke title and the lack of fiefdom, she will definitely give her a lot of compensation, make an exception, and make her a hereditary title. The fiefdom and the unimaginable wealth are even more than those of her cousins ​​who have inheritance rights.

Perhaps this is the reason why the old Duke insists on not giving Sapph the right to inherit. Not only can he prevent his favorite granddaughter from being squeezed out and attacked by heirs with the same surname, but he can also benefit the family line from his own students. I am afraid that even if he is the emperor His Majesty could only smile helplessly. It was not surprising that a biased old man would play some innocuous little conspiracy for the sake of his favored offspring, let alone the Duke of Silver Fox, a top nobleman who had been at the top of the political world for more than 40 years.

With her grandfather's protection, Sapp was destined to live a smooth life and have a life that would make everyone jealous, but this was not enough. She not only had a grandfather, but of course, she also had a father.

Count Lyman Sullivan, the commander of the Black Feather Legion, one of the three major legions of the empire, once led hundreds of knights to kill nearly ten thousand powerful rebel warriors.

The three major legions have always been the ace legions of the empire. They have continued from the chaotic era to the present day and are the most important military forces of the empire. Each legion commander is the most trusted confidant of His Majesty the Emperor.With these two relationships, everyone who knows Saff's existence is convinced that her future life will simply be the definition of happiness.

But she was not happy, nor happy.

The source is none other than her father.

Earl Sullivan is a very competent soldier. He is strong, straightforward, decisive, perseverant, fair and selfless. All the virtues that a soldier should have can be reflected in him.

It's a pity that he brought these virtues back home and into his daily life, facing his family in the usual way of commanding the army.

Perseverance has turned into stubbornness, straightforwardness has turned into simplicity and crudeness, strength has turned into willfulness, and decisiveness has turned into dictatorship.

It's okay if it's just a mild degree. Most fathers have similar problems to some extent, so it's not surprising at all.But Earl Sullivan may have been commanding the troops for too long, and these habits have been imprinted into his instincts, so much so that they have become the trigger for the outbreak of family conflicts.

According to the two half-brothers, their mother, the daughter of Duke Silver Fox, had a fight with her father on the third day after her wedding.Her mother, who possesses silver-level strength, is a strange flower among the nobility of the Jade Empire. When she was a girl, she once went on adventures into the wilderness with a group. She has an equally violent temperament and cannot tolerate her father's toughness and tyranny. The two are evenly matched tit for tat, from the Earl's Mansion all the way. The fight hit the streets and caused countless chaos, even alerting the emperor, before the commotion was quelled.

After that, the conflict between the two parties intensified. Even when her mother was pregnant with her, she was quarreling and even fighting with her father every day. Even her birth could not alleviate the irreconcilable conflict between the two parties.

In her memory, she would watch her parents argue fiercely with fear every few days over issues of attitude and approach. In the end, she could only hide in her room and tremble. In her young mind, only The most relaxing environment is when no one is around. Once there are people around, she will be filled with fear.

Not long after I could remember this, my mother suddenly burst out and vomited blood and died from a hidden injury she sustained during an expedition. Her mother's death directly led to a rift between the Imperial Duke and the Legion Commander, and the two sides became incompatible.But that's not important. What's important is that without her mother's protection, her father began to treat her like his two older brothers.

There are only orders, no room for negotiation, only obedience, and no self-thoughts are allowed. Everything must be done according to the father's ideas. You must like what he likes and hate what he hates. At least you must show this, and be slightly different. If you are satisfied, you will be severely scolded or even whipped.Her brothers have been transformed by her father into the strong warriors he dreamed of, but she is the only one who still retains a tiny bit of herself.

She likes flowers and plants, but she was scolded for only playing with these boring things and not looking like a warrior child at all. Then she shoveled all the flowers and plants she planted.

She likes to feed stray animals. Being scolded will only make you weak and will be of no use on the battlefield. After whipping her a few times and finding out that she was secretly feeding the little animals, she simply took away the ones that had been mixed with her. All the familiar stray animals were killed and placed in front of her, telling her what the cruelty of the battlefield was.

She likes knowledge, reading, and the aroma of books and ink, but she knows that her father does not like these. What his father likes is force rather than words, so she never dares to have a collection of books for fear of being burned by her father. In order to get more After reading more books, she simply joined the Temple of Knowledge and believed in the Lord of Knowledge.

When my father, who believed in the God of War, found out, he was naturally furious. In his mind, you should join the legion, you should demand yourself like a warrior, and you should believe in the God of War like me, instead of believing in some weak god of knowledge.

What followed was nearly half a month of continuous scolding and beatings. Even though she was an adult, even though she already had Silver-level strength, even though she should have her own will and her own thoughts, in the eyes of her father, this was Never allow it, my idea, you must obey.

After years of accumulating power, she didn't understand what resistance was, but this time, she persisted instinctively. Even though she was beaten and bruised all over her body, she did not give up her faith.

The bishop of the Temple of Knowledge in the Lion City came to warn the earl, telling him that Saf was very talented and a believer who was favored by the gods. If he dared to obstruct her belief, he would be an enemy of the Temple of Knowledge. Only then did his father restrain himself , no longer hold back on your beliefs.

At least no longer openly blocking it.

She could finally stay with her favorite books, and finally be able to spread knowledge like a believer. Those few days were the only days she enjoyed happiness in her 17 years, but she did not expect that these were just the last days before the storm. Just tranquility.

On her 17th birthday, a storm came.

For more than half a year since she began to accept the faith of the Temple of Knowledge, she has been secretly teaching literacy to the children of several servants in the mansion. Although the progress is not ideal at all, she enjoys it.Although she had previous experience with flowers, plants and small animals, she naively believed that these children were human beings and her father would not attack a few of them.Still, she underestimated the fury of a despot whose authority was challenged.

The anger broke out on one of the children.

The father randomly found a crime to put on the child and his mother, and wanted them to be lynched according to the customary military practice, and he wanted Sapphire to do it himself.

At that time, her two brothers and seven or eight of her father's personal guards forcibly suppressed her. The father personally held her hands down and cut the child's neck with her sword. Even though she struggled hard, she could not stop it from happening.

Saff will never forget the look of the child at that moment. Blood spurted out from the broken blood vessels, and foamy blood flowed from the corners of the mouth. The child opened his mouth wide and tried desperately to breathe and scream in pain, but he could only There was a hissing sound.

When blood splattered on her face and red blurred her vision, the string of reason in her brain finally broke, and Saff completely lost consciousness.

When she woke up again, she was already in the lounge of the Temple of Knowledge. She had no idea how she came or why she came. The only thing she remembered in her mind was the splash of bright red and the desperate dying face. Childish face.

It took her ten days to recover from the blow. She only found out what had happened before after many inquiries.

It is said that she suddenly fell into a violent state and easily broke away from the oppression of the people around her. She cut off her father's arm with one sword and was about to decapitate him with the second sword.Thanks to the desperate efforts of the guards, my father barely escaped. However, all the guards in the mansion, including those present and those who came after hearing the news, were all killed. The two brothers were seriously injured and were on the verge of death. Her father, who fled with a broken arm, was chased by her all the way. All the city guards who tried to stop him along the way were killed in the line of duty. Fortunately, he finally escaped into the palace, and Saff walked away with a maniacal smile.

An extremely serious massacre, but it involves the issue of divine rights. The murderer is the granddaughter of Duke Silver Fox. The Temple of Knowledge has a tough attitude. Duke Silver Fox publicly supports it. The two major forces have joined forces. In addition, Saff has taken this opportunity to be promoted. A gold-level warrior with a very transcendent status managed to make such a serious incident go unsolved through a three-pronged approach.

Since then, Sapph has never returned to the Earl's Mansion. Her daily life revolves around the Church of Knowledge and the Great Library, and she will only leave the church occasionally when she visits her grandfather.

The tragedy has left Saff immersed in pain and despair. Her already timid and fragile character has become even worse. She even dares not speak to strangers, and her situation is getting worse.

Until two years later, someone ordered her, I will wait for you at the entrance of the Dark Moon Hall at seven o'clock tomorrow morning.

The already dead heart began to beat again, and it beat faster and faster.
