Chapter 682: Eternity That Never Changes
Chapter 682: Eternity That Never Changes
"Justice... is something that I don't understand. In short, you just want to protect your beloved Inazuma forever, right?" Her voice was soft but with unquestionable determination, echoing in this silent space.
Tianli, this name is like a mysterious star hanging high above the continent of Teyvat. Everyone knows it, yet it is full of unknowns.
In this vast continent, few people have ever seen its true form. Even the Seven Gods, who are now tasked with protecting the land, only know of the existence of Tianli, but have never had the honor of seeing its true face.
They all understand that although the law of nature does not walk in the world in person, her maintainers are like fine spider silk, covering every corner of Teyvat, existing in the past, present and future, weaving into an invisible giant web to maintain the order of the entire world. This order seems invisible, but it profoundly affects every life and every piece of land.
After listening to Yaezakami's light words, Lei Dianying also shook his head, his expression so solemn as if he was carrying the fate of the entire Inazuma on his shoulders.
Her beautiful face was slightly frowned, and her eyes revealed deep worry. "You put it too lightly."
It is not easy to protect Inazuma. During her years, she has experienced countless ups and downs, honors and disgraces. She summed up a rule that makes her fear: as long as she moves forward, one day Inazuma will disappear in the torrent of history.
The once prosperous country might disappear like a passing cloud, leaving behind only endless regrets and desolation. This was the nightmare she feared most in her heart, and it was also the powerful driving force for her to pursue eternity at all costs.
After hearing what Lei Dianying said, Yae Shenzi thought for a moment, then looked at Lei Dianying with a burning gaze, his eyes full of sharp inquiry. "But does this country have the value of eternal existence? Without desire and change, a country that only exists is nothing but an empty shell. Ha, in that case, what's the harm even if it is destroyed?" Yae Shenzi said this very seriously, and every word seemed to be uttered after careful consideration, and his eyes revealed a deep doubt about the philosophy that Lei Dianying has always adhered to.
Lei Yingying was also a little stunned for a moment when he looked at the serious Yae Godson. In her unshakable belief, the eternity of Inazuma is an unquestionable truth and a goal that she must protect at all costs. However, the words of Yae Godson were like a sharp sword, gently piercing the seemingly indestructible defense line deep in her heart. But then she shouted angrily, "Godson! Take back your nonsense." Her voice suddenly sounded in the Pure Land of One Heart, with an inviolable majesty, as if defending the most sacred thing in her heart. Inazuma will definitely have the value of eternal existence. Even if it is just a body without vitality in the end, she will not hesitate to risk everything to make it exist. "The unchanging eternity for thousands of generations, this is the promise I give to my subjects." Her voice was firm and powerful, with unquestionable determination.
Hearing this, Yae Shinko shook her head gently, with a trace of regret in her eyes. She slowly approached Lei Dianying, her steps light and slow, as if she was afraid of disturbing the silence. "But what your subjects need is not your promise, what they want is your "attention." " Her voice was gentle and deep, like a gurgling stream, but it contained endless power. After hearing this, Lei Dianying instantly understood what Yae Shinko was talking about, "...The Eye of God?" The gaze of God... She knew that the Eye of God represented God's recognition of human wishes. But she believed that human life span was only a short hundred years, and in this short time, they could not afford the losses brought about by the pursuit of wishes. Having experienced countless vicissitudes and great changes, she chose to guide them to the "eternal" path that she believed was correct. In her opinion, it was a path that could allow Inazuma and her people to avoid loss and pain.
Looking at the still persistent Lei Dianying, Yae Shenzi also sighed softly, "Alas..." This sigh was full of helplessness, as if it came from the depths of her soul. It showed that Yae Shenzi really wanted Lei Dianying to leave this isolated pure land and get rid of the lonely and cruel pursuit. Just like she said before, she just didn't want her friend to pursue an eternity that might not exist so cruelly alone. "But "eternity" is too cruel for you, Ying." Her eyes were full of concern and heartache. Looking at the close friend who had fought side by side in front of her, who was getting further and further away on the road of pursuing eternity, she was powerless, and her heart was full of helplessness and sadness.
Lei Yingying was also very confused when she heard what Yae Shenzi said, and her brows were slightly furrowed. "To me?" The pursuit of eternity was what she firmly pursued. In her cognition, this was the only way to protect Inazuma, so she really didn't understand why Yae Shenzi said that this was too cruel to her. In her opinion, if she gave up the pursuit of eternity, it would be too painful to bear. That meant that she would personally give up her long-held beliefs and give up protecting Inazuma's future, which she could not accept no matter what.
Yae Shenzi looked at Lei Dianying who was puzzled, and continued to speak slowly. Her voice was soft but penetrating, as if it could reach the depths of Lei Dianying's heart. "Not only have you stopped looking at the world, you have also stopped looking at yourself. It must be very lonely to be here alone for hundreds of years." As she spoke, she gently stretched out her hand, as if she wanted to touch Lei Dianying's lonely soul. During these long years, Lei Dianying was immersed in a pure land alone, isolated from the outside world, missing countless joys and sorrows of the world, and ignoring his own inner needs. Her voice was soft, but it hit Lei Dianying's heart like a heavy hammer, and every word was like a key, trying to open Lei Dianying's closed heart.
Listening to what Yae Shinko said, Lei Yingying fell silent. Indeed, after hundreds of years of meditation in this pure land, loneliness was like an inseparable companion, always entangled with her.
Every day and night, there was only endless silence and her own thoughts, which was a very painful thing. However, in her opinion, these were necessary sacrifices. Since she had made the choice to pursue eternity, she would always lose something, and freedom was the most important thing she gave up. "But this is necessary..." Her voice was a little low, with a hint of bitterness, as if the words were squeezed out from between her teeth.
