Chapter 259 Vivian, the Fairy of the Lake

Darkness only happened in an instant, and before Steve even had time to sigh that it was finally dark, he was already in darkness.

I can't see my fingers.

Steve suddenly felt wet underneath him. He stretched out his hand to touch, but he didn't touch the board of the boat, but wet water.

Water and even soft things, but Steve's palms could not penetrate the water at all.

Then Steve's other hand suddenly became free, and the paddle he was holding tightly disappeared.

"How is this going?"

Steve couldn't help but panic. He couldn't see anything now, and the things around him disappeared strangely. He tested the surrounding environment and was sure that he was no longer on the ship.

When did you get off the ship?
No! Steve confirmed that he did not get off the boat, the boat disappeared on its own!
After the boat disappeared, he did not sink, but stood on the river.

Maybe... it's above the river...

"Ah...don't you understand my language?"

Feeling as if he was traveling in a long corridor, he ran faster and faster, and a little light appeared in front of his eyes. Is that an exit?
He cheered and ran forward.

Steve wasn't even sure where he was now.

The more he walked, the deeper his doubts became.

A huge sound of water came from the exit, and a water curtain hung at the exit, isolating the inside and outside.

The water reflects the sky, as if the world is divided into two heavens and earth, upper and lower, or I shouldn't say heaven and earth, because there is no land here.

Steve was a little embarrassed. If this was the case, it would be really difficult to continue communicating.

Steve stammered, he had never seen such pure eyes.

……

Looking back, he saw that the place he came from was a huge mountain wall with waterfalls like water columns, penetrating the water and holding up the upper and lower sky.

The girl tilted her head, puzzled by Steve's greeting.

Steve finally came to the bubble. He looked at the girl in the bubble and was very curious. What was this girl dreaming about?
The girl sleeping on the water, will she have a hometown in her dreams?

At least three meters high.

He didn't know how long he had been walking, or how long he would go.

Are my eyes open? Why is there no light at all? Am I talking? Or is this just my inner monologue?
Everyone who walks in the darkness never knows when the light will appear. It may be the next second, but it may never come.

Although she only looks like a girl, her body is quite huge.

"Sure enough, the world has completely forgotten me."

Steve walks in the dark.

Steve kept walking until he started to hear water dripping around him.

He stared blankly, forgetting language and time.

……

I don’t even know the purpose of my walking.

Rumble, rumble, rumble——

Steve just felt baffled. This was the first time the two of them had met!

Opening his eyes, he saw a pure white world with a piece of water beneath his feet. His feet stepped on it but did not sink.

But the girl suddenly spoke, and her light voice echoed in the empty and pure world.

I stood up, thought for a while, and realized that standing here would not help, so I might as well move forward.

There was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl in white curled up among them, her long hair almost covering her whole body.

"Do not you know me?"

Finally, he saw what it was.

In such a pure white world, Steve saw something far away on the water.

"Um...should I get to know you?"

Her eyes were closed and she was sleeping deeply.

Shouldn't this be the water surface? Where does the sound of water dripping come from?
Steve started running, he wanted to find the answer.

"You... hello!"

It was a huge bubble, suspended in the air.

Darkness enveloped him.

Steve walked through the water curtain. The impact of the water made him unable to lift his head, so he had to close his eyes and rush forward. Finally, when he took a certain step, all the pressure on his body disappeared and he walked out. .

Tick, tick, tick.

That thing was like a sign that allowed him to find the way forward. Steve struggled to
Run towards that thing, the closer you get, the clearer it becomes.

As if feeling Steve's gaze, the girl's eyes opened. They were a pair of black onyx eyes with soft gaze inside.

There was a trace of regret on the girl's face, and she said sadly, "My name is Vivian, and I come from a lost myth.

"If you find it confusing, you can also call me... Vivian, the Lake Fairy."

Vivian? !

Steve seemed to have heard of the name.

The Lake Fairies are several fairies with magical powers who appear in Welsh mythology. Their actual identities are noble and evil fairies who were born in the Lake of Avalon.

Vivian is their representative.

A young and beautiful witch.

Now, this huge girl appears in front of Steve, claiming to be Vivian, the "Fairy of the Lake".

Steve's first reaction was, there's a problem!
According to legend, the bubble cage should be Vivian's method to imprison others.

She once imprisoned the great wizard Merlin in a bubble cage in the forest, making Merlin obey her orders.

The one who is now locked in the bubble cage is Vivian herself.

I always feel like something is wrong.

However, Steve found that the environment he was in now was very similar to a place described in other myths.

In the mythology of a certain ethnic group in the East, in the most ancient times in the world, there was a bubble of water that was neither divided into heaven nor earth.

The sky is like water, the water is like sky, and sky and water are connected.

The bubbles gradually grew bigger and bigger, and the Heavenly Mother was born in the bubbles.

All things in the universe and the gods were generated from a single, primitive water bubble.

But this is the account of other myths.

This pure white world does not look like the place of creation in the history of the British kings.

At this time, the girl who called herself Vivian asked timidly: "What time is it outside now?"

"What time?"

Steve checked his watch.

No matter how many days and months I spend in my consciousness, my watch will always only show the time in the external reality.

"About two o'clock in the afternoon."

Hearing Steve's answer, the girl frowned and said, "I'm not asking about that, I'm asking about the year. How long has it been since King Arthur's time?"

King Arthur? !

Steve thought to himself, this is really asking him.

Which era King Arthur lived in has always been a mystery. According to research, the more reliable theory is the fifth century AD.

Then let’s count it this way.

After making a simple subtraction, Steve said: "About fifteen hundred years."

"Fifteen hundred years? It's such a long time. I don't think it was long even if it was tens of millions of years ago." There was a nostalgic look in Vivian's eyes, and she could tell that these fifteen hundred years were a long time. A very special part of her life.

"What was the world like tens of millions of years ago?"

When Steve heard the exclamation of the Lake Fairy, his heart moved and he asked tentatively.

"The world thousands of years ago was a bubble of water with neither sky nor earth. The sky was like water, the water was like sky, and sky and water were connected..."

Vivian told it, but in Steve's opinion, she was just telling a certain fairy tale again.

has a problem!
Steve thought to himself that there was definitely something wrong with Vivian's memory.

In the 4.6 billion-year history of the earth, there was indeed a period when it was completely covered by water, but that was 2.5 billion years ago.

Since then, land has appeared.

Vivian showed up so early?
Obviously impossible.

Unless, as Lorraine once said, this so-called god is actually an alien!

Moreover, Steve couldn't help but think deeper.

If the gods are all aliens, then what is the authenticity of the myths?
How credible is it?

You know, each myth has a different earliest description of the world.

Various mythological systems are contradictory to each other, and one world cannot satisfy them all.

There are many kinds, as far as Steve knows.

But in fact, although myths from different places are different, there are also similarities that are easily overlooked.

Take the legends of the four ancient civilizations in past lives as examples:
The earliest description of the world in Chinese mythology comes from the "Three and Five Calories": "The heaven and earth were chaotic like chicken eggs, and Pangu was born in it. He was eighteen thousand years old; the heaven and earth were opened, and the clear yang was the sky, and the turbid yin was the earth."

This is the legend that Pangu opened the world. According to legend, Pangu later transformed into all things.

There are similar records in ancient Babylonian mythology.

"Shanghai Realm" records that the original world had no heaven and earth, only gods.

The saltwater god Tiamat and her husband Apsu gave birth to countless second-generation gods, but they could not sleep peacefully because of the noise of the little god, so they wanted to kill all their children.

Word leaked out that after the war between the gods, Tiamat was killed and her body was split into two, with one half becoming the sky and the other half the earth.

Ancient Babylonians believed that heaven and earth were the corpses of gods, which coincided with Pangu's transformation of all things.

The same is true for the other two ancient civilizations.

The ancient Indian mythology "Rig Veda" says that the world is originally one person, either male or female, neither male nor female.

He has thousands of heads and eyes, and the world is within his body.

Heaven, earth, gods and demons are all parts of his body. This huge man was called Purusha, also known as Purusha.

In order to complete a great sacrifice, the original man sacrificed himself to himself.

In the raging fire, his body was decomposed, and all things were born.

This is another example of a god who incarnates into all things after death.

Only Egyptian mythology is slightly different.

In Egyptian mythology, the original world was also chaotic. After awakening, the god Atum created a hill so that he could gain a foothold in the chaotic world.

From his mouth he breathed out his son Shu, the god of air, and then his daughter Tef, the goddess of moisture.

From then on, these two gods were responsible for changing the chaotic state of the universe, and gradually the world came into being.

Only in Egyptian mythology are the heavens and the earth not the corpses of the gods.

In all myths, the concept of "separation" is mentioned invariably.

In Chinese mythology, Pangu divides heaven and earth, in Babylonian mythology Tiamat separates heaven and earth, in Indian mythology Purusha incarnates heaven and earth and separates all things, and in Egyptian mythology the gods divide chaos into air and moisture.

This coincidence made Steve couldn't help but think about it.

Is this world originally separated from a certain whole?

Steve couldn't think of how to argue this.

It can only be considered a coincidence for the time being.

After withdrawing his thoughts, Steve was dubious about the girl calling herself the Lake Fairy, but since she dared to claim so much, Steve had a way to continue the topic.

He asked: "Vivian...right?"

The girl's eyes flickered for a moment, then dimmed, and she sighed: "Forget it, it's no longer my time, and I have lost the power I once had, so you can call me whatever you want.

"If you had dared to call me by my name before, I would definitely take revenge on you."

In the West, names have very special mystical meanings.

This is what it means to not call God by his name directly.

Steve thought for a moment. After all, he still had half-doubts about Vivian's identity, and he didn't even have respect for her in his heart.

What he wants to know most now is why the Lady of the Lake is in the Black Knight's consciousness.

So Steve asked, "Then why are you here?"

The fairy in the lake sighed: "Since you can come here, it means that you have the ability to enter consciousness. If this is the case, then why haven't you discovered the specialness of this place?"

What’s special?

Steve had figured it out a long time ago.

There is almost no difference between this conscious space and reality. Steve has forgotten that he is in other people's consciousness several times and can't help but feel lost.

Because the feeling is too real.

"This is the dream of the gods..."

Vivian, the fairy in the lake, said softly, “A dream of the gods is a new world.

"Many years ago, someone discovered this dream and thought it was a small piece of unowned world. From then on, he used this dream to carry some important things.

"I've seen it all, but I've never shown up. After all, as the Lord God, I've seen too many things. The darkness of human nature is not uncommon.

“They never knew that this was actually my dream.

"You ask me why I'm here. It's not actually a problem. This world was born because of me."

Steve didn't know how to respond to Vivian's story.

There is too much information.

The dream of the gods, the new world, the people who discover this world...

Steve said dubiously: "Then what is hidden in this place?"

"You want to see it?"

Vivian smiled and let out a melodious whistle.

It's like the whistle that fishermen would blow when fishing in ancient times.

As the whistle echoed in this pure white world, ripples suddenly began to appear on the calm water surface, and then became more and more intense, as if a giant beast was writhing under the water.

A huge black shadow appeared in the water at Steve's feet.

The black shadow is like a bird or a fish, and it is still getting bigger, which means that the owner of the black shadow is rising from the bottom of the water to the surface.

A cry like a baby suddenly resounded throughout the whole world.

Steve braced himself, because he didn't know what was about to emerge from the water, which made him want to move away.

"Don't worry, he is a good boy!"

Vivian smiled and said, "You should be smaller, so as not to disturb our guests."

The second half of the sentence was not meant for Steve.

When the dark shadow under the water heard these words, it actually began to slowly shrink until it was only three meters long before slowly emerging from the water.

Only then did Steve see clearly that what emerged from the water was a divine bird that was emitting nine colors of auspicious light and was extremely holy.
