Chapter 510 Eternity
Although they didn't know why, Fengyuan Manye really valued the Eye of God, and what happened to the Eye of God that lost its light in his hand. Sora and Paimon were both confused by this. They knew that Fengyuan Manye was a very special person, who had a unique understanding and pursuit of elemental power. Perhaps this was the reason why he kept exploring and researching.
However, the mystery of the Eye of God still shrouded him, making him more and more curious. Why did the Eye of God lose its light? Can it be restored after losing its light? What kind of deep connection exists between elemental power and the Eye of God?
Paimon was suspended in the air, tilting his head, looking at Fengyuan Manye with curiosity, his eyes flickering with doubt. "Manye, why are you so obsessed with the Eye of God? To be honest, we have seen many people with the Eye of God, but few of them are as concerned about it as you are." In Paimon's colorful journey in the past, although the Eye of God often appeared as a special and mysterious existence, there were indeed very few people like Fengyuan Manye who devoted a lot of energy to explore it.
After hearing Paimon's words, Fengyuan Manye frowned slightly, and his slender and bony fingers subconsciously tapped the thick tree trunk beside him.
The gentle breeze blew past like a naughty elf, ruffling his black hair. After a long while, he slowly spoke. His voice was calm but with a hint of inquiry.
"What I want to know is, what does the Eye of God mean to the gods? What prompted the gods to decide to grant humans the Eye of God? Sorry, these questions may be a little strange to you."
As he spoke, he looked at the three of them with a slightly apologetic look in his eyes, "But since I have the honor of seeing your wonders, then in return, I will do my best to answer all your questions about Inazuma."
After listening to Fengyuan Manye's words, Kong couldn't help but fall into deep thought. He slowly lowered his head, his eyes fell on the soft grass under his feet, and his mind was like a churning sea, with various thoughts intertwining and colliding with each other.
After a while, he raised his head. The sunlight shone on his face, outlining his resolute features. He spoke with clear and bright eyes, "We want to understand those 'inexplicable' things."
Kong's words made Fengyuan Manye smile bitterly. He shook his head slightly, secretly marveling at how different and unique their focus was. However, since they wanted to understand, he would explain it to them.
"Haha, then I'll explain it in more detail. You should also know that Inazuma is currently implementing the 'Eye Hunting Order'."
Fengyuan Manye paused slightly, as if he was sorting out his complicated thoughts, or as if he was looking for the most appropriate way to express himself, and then continued to speak slowly.
"The Eye of God was originally a generous gift from God to mankind. In the past, people gladly accepted this precious gift, regarding it as a symbol of supreme honor and great power. Possessing the Eye of God means being watched by God and being endowed with abilities beyond ordinary people. With this honor in mind, people display unique powers in their lives and write their own wonderful stories. But in today's Inazuma, everything has changed. The Eye of God has been confiscated for no reason, and those who possessed the Eye of God seem to have become sinners overnight. Sometimes, just because of possessing the Eye of God, one can be killed."
Speaking of this, a hint of indignation flashed in Fengyuan Manye's eyes, which was a strong dissatisfaction and condemnation of this unreasonable phenomenon.
"If the seven gods had their own standards when they bestowed the Eye of God on all living beings, then does the God of Thunder now have doubts about this behavior? You know, it has been a long time since a new Eye of God of Thunder Element appeared in the world. Perhaps this also shows the attitude of General Thunder."
There was a hint of thought and speculation in Kaedehara Manye's voice. He tried to find out the true intention of General Raiden from these clues but ended up in disappointment. He himself had no way of knowing. Perhaps only the general himself knew.
Listening to Maple Leaf's words, Paimon nodded thoughtfully. She blinked her big, lively eyes and tried to find the right words in her limited vocabulary to describe General Raiden. "She sounds like a very...domineering god?"
There was a hint of uncertainty in Paimon's tone. After all, in her not-so-long adventuring career, the act of forcibly confiscating the Eye of God was really beyond her understanding of the normal behavior of gods. The word "domineering" seemed to be the most appropriate to describe it.
After listening to Paimon's words, Fengyuan Manye fell into memories, and the cold face and resolute posture of General Raiden slowly emerged in his mind.
She was dressed in gorgeous and solemn clothes, exuding an aura of majesty that could not be ignored. Every look and every movement seemed to carry unquestionable determination.
After a while, Fengyuan Manye said slowly: "From what I know, she is a god who is obsessed with the pursuit of 'eternity' and will execute her ideas as ruthlessly as steel. In her philosophy, 'eternity' is the supreme goal, and everything should give way to it. But Liyue's 'contract' is for the welfare of all the people in Liyue. It is an agreement based on equality and mutual benefit, and it guides Liyue towards prosperity. And what has Inazuma's current 'eternity' brought to the people? - At least, the people of Inazuma, who are trapped in heavy locks, are not living a good life now."
There was deep helplessness and worry in Kaedehara Manye's tone, and they could only watch the people of Inazuma suffer in the name of "eternity".
After listening to the conversation between Fengyuan Manye and Paimon, Lin Feng looked towards the rolling mountains in the distance. Under the sunlight, the mountains had clear and spectacular outlines.
He pondered for a moment, as if drawing inspiration from the magnificent natural landscape, and then slowly said: "Perhaps this is the price of eternity. Only relatively static things can be closer to eternity like a rock."
Lin Feng's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of the three people hard. They all showed an expression of disbelief, as if they had heard a completely new point of view that they had never encountered before. The door of their thinking was suddenly pushed open, and a novel and shocking feeling surged into their hearts.
"Lin Feng, what exactly do you mean by eternity?" Kong asked with interest. His eyes were full of curiosity.
