Outside the Pope's Hall, which collapsed into ruins, the rising smoke and dust swam like clouds and mists among the trunks of giant trees. Under the roots of the twisted tree, three people, as small as ants, looked up hard. After a moment, Dion turned slightly and looked at Nick who didn't say a word:

"Are you relieved now?"

"Yes." Nick withdrew his gaze, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and emerged from his contemplative state, returning to his original appearance of being soft and hunched and lazy.

"This person... is so delusional." Sarah pursed her lips and frowned slightly.

Dion lowered his head, and the spring at his feet looked like boiling water, swelling bubbles continuously, and a thin layer of thick green mist was released from the broken bubbles. In two or three breaths, it spread from Dion to Nick and Sarah's feet.

Seeing the poisonous fog surrounding the three of them, but it no longer spread out. The other people who had been silently guarding each other walked closer a few steps. York carried the giant hammer and walked to Deon. John, who had put on his helmet, put down his armor, held the hilt of the sword and approached Sara step by step. A trace of light appeared in his deep eye sockets. Qi Youfeng solemnly drew out his two swords and faced Nick.

The twins stood there without movement, their empty eyes and statue-like stagnant posture clearly defined his offline state at this time.

"You don't have to worry too much," Nick looked at Qi Youfeng with a calm expression. "Simir did not sacrifice anything particularly important, he would not be qualified to seek repayment."

Qi Youfeng knew it and nodded with a smile: "Although he wouldn't have this opportunity no matter what, thank you."

York looked at Nick, then Dion and Sarah, and curled his lips: "It seems that there is still some time, why don't you all explain it to us?"

"After all," York added, "who knows when the next meeting will be."

Sara pondered for a moment, and saw that Dion and Nick had no intention of stopping her, and spoke in a complicated tone:

"That arrogant guy in Simir... this is not a tree of life and death, but a tree of reincarnation. He... tries to restore human reincarnation, not a cycle of karma, but a refresh of memory that is controlled by individuals."

Sarah has an Indian background and has a respect for the concepts of sasāra (samsara, Sanskrit) and karma (karma, Sanskrit) and is most dissatisfied with Simere's idea.

She could probably think about how Simire had born this idea.

If, in the future, spiritual upload becomes a part of life and can continue to move in the virtual world in the form of a data body after the end of human physiological life span reaches its end, then you will inevitably have to face a long time and memory accumulated over time.

When becoming a data body, memory is the bytes stored in the database. Active forgetting may become an operation that is difficult for individuals to complete. Then, various feelings and experiences accompanied by memory data - pain, anxiety, joy, excitement, etc., will emerge as if the memory is reproduced every time.

Just imagine the mental load, she felt very tired and exhausted.

Therefore, in order to reflect the glory of human nature in the new future concept, Simire decided to give humans a chance to choose to refresh their memories and start over again. It is not too strange and whimsical.

"This should be just an experimental version. Human consciousness is a very mysterious thing," Nick pointed his forehead. "No one can determine whether the data body that has undergone this kind of reincarnation operation will still have self-awareness, so he is just using NPC to conduct small-scale experiments."

"The life and death tree in Huaxia District is a small reincarnation system simulation, and the life and death tree belonging to the Gaia continent in this setting should be a large-scale attempt." Dion said.

"The three items that make up the tree of life and death belong to two camps. That is to say, according to the plan, this tree of life and death here on the continent of Gaia will not appear in a short period of time."

Nick closed his eyes and continued to analyze half-guess and half-deducedly.

"From east to west, from division/split to integration, there will inevitably be many data refreshes, which personality aspects can be retained by the system contained in the world of 'reincarnation', and which are harmful memory residues that must be eliminated, these... well... what aether is used for is not explicitly stated. From the perspective of the fifth element, it may be a device that restores and reorganizes."

"Collect, fix, screen, remove, and then distribute individual consciousness data, this should be a set of procedures."

This tree is based on Dion's staff "Uktrashir" and is irrigated by him, Dion and Sarah. When the concept of the "World Tree" was covered by Simir with the concept of "Life and Death Tree", the three people who supported the growth of the giant tree can naturally capture some meanings about this concept.

Feedback in the sense will naturally be a little blurry, but this is enough for Nick.

This is the real purpose that Nick had when he forced Dion and Sarah to achieve this whimsical idea.

Simire was unwilling to explain more, so he would investigate it himself.

Nick is not curious about Simire's ideas and conceptions, he just wants to know what Simire sacrificed for Cy.

Now it seems-

"Since that's the case, this reincarnation system should be the world's inner-level rules that Simire decided to destroy, because this is not only the basis, but the most important point is that this is the future."

Although it is just the germination of two systematic rules that are still in the experimental period, it is also one of the important cornerstones for the future. It can naturally achieve the effect that Simire wants to achieve, allowing this virtual data world to make a judgment on danger at the level of "fatal crisis", thereby activating self-enclosed protection measures.

Qi Youfeng breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes darkened: "This is really a great sacrifice."

Nick glanced at him and sneered: "Sacrifice is nothing more than something he is already hesitating to abandon. It's just that cy's matter gave him a reasonable excuse, which made him finally make up his mind."

"Can you be sure?" The other people looked at him at the same time.

Nick just looked at Qi Youfeng: "What do you think?"

Qi Youfeng lowered his head and thought, and after a moment he showed a slightly bitter smile: "That's true, because if Niannian knew the meaning of the so-called life and death tree, she would definitely split them into firewood with great disdain."

"Yes," Nick looked at the giant tree in front of him sarcastically, "it was a waste of self-righteousness."

I'm afraid that at that time, Simire was complacent and thought that he had given the "gift" of the future new human beings a chance to choose life and death freely. He might have prepared to give the option to repent, but in fact this was a more serious blasphemy!

"Although I really want to forget some past things," York grinned, "but if there were no past events, I wouldn't be the me now, and I wouldn't be standing here at this moment. If I really want to die, I can end it all. Why do I need him to do such a thing? If I don't want to die, then the past events are things I have to carry, and I don't need that kind of mess."

“forwhyismyfreedombeingjudgedbyanother’s conscience” (1 Corinthians 10:29) John whispered.

"Unless, refresh the memories of all people related to me, this kind of thing is meaningless."

Dion agreed that he had simply forgotten everything. So what about other people who had had an intersection with him? This idea of ​​reincarnation may be a relief for individuals, but it is a bit cruel to others.

If I hurt you and I am unwilling to face this memory, so I chose to forget everything and start over again. How did you let the victim face this slippery and thrifty situation?

The "death" of memory may also be regarded as death - at least in consciousness, but lacking the decisiveness and regret that is heart-wrenching and heart-wrenching, which is equivalent to reducing the value of "life". Loyalty, integrity, courage, kindness, generosity and other human virtues are inseparable from the one-way journey to death in life.

——I have lived a decadent life, but it doesn’t matter. When I am completely bored, I will refresh myself and start over in the future.

Once the cycle of life and death becomes an option to support the future and a miracle that can be achieved without praying, the time that passes by now will easily lose its meaning.

Life becomes something that can be wasted at will.

"I struggled so hard every day, and tried my best to continue her short life, not to live like this." Qi Youfeng unconsciously smiled when he thought of Nian.

Although he had only been with Nian for a short time, he thought he knew Nian very well, whether it was her past or her present.

Since Simir has received the "dream" that he has left him specifically every year, he will naturally have the same understanding and judgment at least on a certain level.

Therefore, Simire did not sacrifice anything important to every year. On the contrary, he actually helped him correct a mistake in advance.

This fact made Qi Youfeng feel much better.

"Speaking of it," Nick curled his lips maliciously, "This guy is obviously the guy who is most likely to have a heart-to-heart relationship with Cy early. This is really a trick of fate."

Qi Youfeng gave him a free and easy smile: "That's right, this is fate."

Nick curled his lips boredly, looked back at the twins who were still moving, and then looked at the character's blood volume that was constantly falling above his vision, frowned almost imperceptibly.

"Theoretically, I can control the toxin content a little." Dion noticed Nick's movement and spoke.

Nick nodded softly and didn't say anything.

The three people who stood outside the range of the poisonous fog carefully stopped chatting and waited solemnly for the slow passage of time.

A few minutes later, the ruins of the Pope Hall were still covered with various thick vines. Simere and Adam struggled to drill through these hideous plants, and finally saw the few people standing together as if they were holding some ceremony.

Simire's questions were about to turn into substance, and the bone staff flashed red, and a narrow passage burned by black flames appeared among the entangled vines in front of him.

Guided by the strands of black flames, Simere and Adam approached the Christmas clown mercenary group and looked at the twins who had just stretched.

A smile appeared on the twins' faces, and Jekyll and Hyde spoke in a relay:
Chapter completed!
