Chapter 512 There is no eternity
Kong's inquiry was full of expectation. He hoped that Lin Feng could give him a clear answer and solve the doubts in his heart. In his search for his sister and the riddle she said, every possible clue was crucial.
As soon as Kong asked, Lin Feng knew the answer, but he didn't want to spoil it, so he shook his head helplessly. "It's impossible. If it's really that easy, that would be great. Let's just wait and see, don't be impatient, take your time."
After listening to what Lin Feng said, Kong felt that he was indeed acting too hastily. Forget it, it's better to take it slow.
"By the way, do you know what the eternity that Thor is pursuing is?" Kong asked again. He was still curious about the eternity that Thor was pursuing.
After hearing this, although Lin Feng knew the answer, he was not in a position to reveal it. After thinking for a while, he planned to say something vague. He raised his head slightly and looked into the distance, as if he was recalling the time in Inazuma.
"I once lived in Inazuma for a period of time. At that time, the Thunder God's policy of isolation was just beginning, and it was not as severe as it is today. Inazuma at that time had its own order and rules, but it was relatively open, and people lived more freely.
There was no Eye Hunting Order at that time, and the holders of the Eye of God could freely use their power and pursue their dreams. I think the eternity that Thor pursues is perhaps stillness, because only stillness can be the closest to eternity.
In her imagination, the eternal Inazuma should be without change, without disputes, without rise and fall. As for what is eternity... never decaying, never perishing, always existing, regardless of whether the world is destroyed or whether human beings exist, Inazuma will always stand here. This may be her definition of eternity. "
Lin Feng tried his best to explain in plain language, hoping that Kong could understand the meaning and feel the complex and profound logic behind Thor's pursuit of eternity.
After hearing Lin Feng's words, Kong seemed to be struck by a flash of inspiration, his brain worked rapidly, and he thought carefully. His eyes became deep, and various scenes of Inazuma's current situation kept appearing in his mind, whether it was the closed national borders or the people in the streets who were panicked because of the Eye Hunting Order.
Whether it is the policy of closing the country or the issuance of the Eye Hunting Order, it seems that they are all aimed at slowing down the pace of Inazuma's development and pursuing that static eternity?
The policy of isolation isolated Inazuma from the outside world, reducing communication and changes with the outside world; the Eye Hunting Order confiscated the Eye of God, limiting people's power and possibilities, making everything stable and no longer subject to new changes.
All of this seems to confirm what Lin Feng said, that what Thor pursues is a kind of static eternity.
"Lin Feng, do you think there are really eternal things in this world?" Kong raised his head, with a trace of confusion and exploration in his eyes, and asked Lin Feng this question. This question troubled him. During his long journey, he had seen countless people and things, and everything was changing, but what kind of existence is eternity?
Lin Feng shook his head decisively without any hesitation. His eyes were firm, and he believed in his own point of view. "It is impossible. There can be no eternal existence in any world." He paused slightly, as if he was organizing his words, trying to express his thoughts more clearly. "No matter what form things are in, whether it is towering mountains, vast oceans, or prosperous cities, vibrant lives, they will all go to extinction one day. It's just a matter of time. The torrent of time is ruthless, and nothing can resist its scouring. As for eternity, it is illusory in itself, but it depends on personal ideas. Some people pursue eternal love, and some people pursue eternal glory, but in the real world, these are just beautiful wishes. It is naturally unrealistic to pursue eternity too rationally." Lin Feng's voice is steady and powerful. He has his own profound understanding of the nature of the world. These views are summed up from his long experience.
After hearing what Lin Feng said, Kong began to ponder in his heart. That Thunder God really seems to be a stubborn person. She clearly knows that eternity is impossible, but she still stubbornly pursues eternity and forces her will on the people. From these aspects alone, it can be seen that the Thunder God is definitely not a good person. Kong thought of his experience in Mondstadt. The Wind God, who respects life and conforms to nature, is completely different from the Thunder God. The Thunder God's stubbornness made Kong feel a little timid. Moreover, he had learned from Lin Feng that the Thunder God was not the god he was looking for.
"Paimon, I think we should go directly to Xumi? It seems unnecessary for Inazuma to go." Thinking of this, Kong looked at Paimon and said, his eyes revealing a hint of hesitation and worry. Going to Inazuma means facing unknown dangers. Facing the strong and stubborn will of the Thunder God, Kong is not sure if he can cope with it.
After hearing what Sora said, Paimon also fell into deep thought. She slowly circled in the air, thinking back to everything she had heard and seen in Inazuma. From what she knew so far, Inazuma was an extremely dangerous place.
The Eye Hunting Order has cast a fear over the entire country, and everyone is worried about their own safety. If they go, they will inevitably be implicated by the Thunder God, as they attract attention wherever they go.
Xumi is a country full of wisdom and mystery, and perhaps one can get more help and guidance there. Going to Xumi is a wise choice.
Paimon sighed softly and said helplessly: "I understand your concerns. Inazuma is indeed very dangerous. But our journey is full of challenges. Maybe we will make new discoveries by going to Inazuma. However, if you really don't want to go, I support your decision." There was a hint of conflict in Paimon's eyes. She was worried that she would encounter danger by going to Inazuma, but she also didn't want to miss possible opportunities.
Seeing that the two people's eyes were a little erratic, Lin Feng suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart. He knew very well that Kong had a deep affection for his sister Ying, which was the key to persuading Kong to go to Inazuma.
"Traveler, I think it is still necessary for Inazuma to go. Have you forgotten your sister's request for you to continue your journey?" Lin Feng's eyes were full of expectation, hoping that Kong could remember his sister's words.
"If you don't go to Inazuma, your trip will be incomplete. What do you think?" Lin Feng knew that Ying's instructions were of great significance to Kong. It was one of the driving forces that supported Kong to move forward.
After hearing what Lin Feng said, the hesitation in Kong's heart disappeared without a trace in an instant, just like the mist under the sun.
