[Chapter 219 To Bury Is To Forget]

Longevity is naturally good.

But it would be better if they were born to live forever.

Resisting death is a betrayal of all the “life” one has experienced so far.

Every painful choice, every sorrow hatched by loss, and every joy ignited by gain… The love and hatred of the past will also be erased by time.

When looking at the tombs of the grandsons of lovers and enemies or the tombs of great-grandchildren, the emotions of the past that arise in my heart seem so absurd.

It seems that everything that I worked hard for and suffered for in the past has become meaningless because of the great continuation of life.

From this point of view, the strong desire held by the Golden Rank and the concept of using the fuel of the “soul” as a substitute for lifespan is to pave the way for a completely reshaped world view after they become gods. use.

The short-lived species’ outlook on life is completely different from the long-lived species – which is naturally reasonable.

Giants themselves are immortals.

But the undead and gods are the most immortal species in this world.

——The Skeleton Lord is both an undead and a god.

“The so-called ‘burial’…is the gift of farewell to the deceased.” The

skeleton man was still kneeling in front of the burial mother, and said in a low voice, “The earliest burial…was formed in the early part of the First Age. The so-called ‘burial of bones’ Li’, that is, use the earth to engulf the dead…

“The ancients, why did you think…to use the earth to bury the dead?

”

His voice was calm and cold, and just listening to it was enough to send chills down the spine.

“Naturally… not for rest.”

The connection between ‘burial’ and ‘rest’ comes after people think of… [the earth is always silent, like winter, like a corpse].

“—Fundamentally, burial is for forgetting. Burial is for not seeing each other again.” The

skeleton said here, and was silent for a moment.

He seems to want to take a deep breath… but he no longer has the function of “breathing”.

“Therefore,” whispered the Skeleton, “to be buried—is to betray.

“People will remember the dead, but they have known from the depths of their blood… that people will eventually face death.

Therefore, people’s fear of death itself is not so much.

More, because of the ‘death’, which means that they are absolutely separated from what they already have.

“The

skeleton’s words became more and more fluent: “It is not ‘death is coming’ that they fear, because they already know that ‘death is coming’.

From the very beginning, what they feared was that ‘death’ cut off their lives.

“It’s like being exiled to the end of the sky. I was exiled to a world other than this world with empty hands… The ancients’ imagination of the afterlife also roughly came from this.”

As He gradually adapted to modern grammar, the skeleton spoke. It is no longer so intermittent… Therefore, the heavy and pleading pressure has been reduced a lot.

The heart of Longjing Tea was beating fiercely.

His instinct made him feel uneasy and excited.

He vaguely sensed…

The skeleton seemed to be doing something big.

Because the first meeting was too abrupt.

Now, he suddenly recalled…they didn’t perform any ritual of calling the skeleton.

Then it is impossible for the skeleton to come here on his own initiative.

In other words.

The skeletons appear here, and they have nothing to do with them.

They just happened to catch up.

He must be—and can only be, returned to the Duchy of Song of Songs early.

Here comes the problem.

This empty-nest old bone, why do you go back to your hometown alone?

Visiting relatives?

Or……

“…It is because of the ‘Five Laws of the Dead’ that death cuts everything and abandons everything, so it becomes scary. And except for the fear of abandoning the unforgettable, death itself is not scary.

” My country was once called the “Mourning Song”.

It’s not its real name.

”

No one responded, the old voice of the skeleton man resounded to himself in the very center of the sea of tombs.

“Because it had resounded throughout the country for a month.

But it is different from what other countries think… This is not because of their bravery, but because in the long-term thinking, the giants such as me have been able to look directly and face death.

It was actually a celebration and a farewell.

“There is an old saying among you dwarves that giants have no vision when they are young, and can’t speak when they are old. The first half of the sentence is true…because giants have only one huge eye, and giants in their youth, open Open your eyes a little longer and you get tired.

“We’re not like you, hunting and crafting.

So eyes are not needed to locate prey—giants have psychic abilities, and psychic abilities alone are enough to gain a sense of space.

Then, in the age of nutritional deficiency, nutrition should be given priority to the brain and trunk, while the eyes may not develop for the time being.

“When the body is strong and the brain is fully developed, the giant will open its eyes. This is used to find a mate… The clearer and brighter the eyes, the better the development of the brain and body, the more Competitive.

“And the aging giant can actually speak.

But they don’t speak in front of people… This is because they are gradually severing their ‘bond’ from the world.

“If you are separated after quarreling with someone, it will be a pain for both of you. But if the two sides don’t see each other for a long time, all emotions will be washed away. After a giant grows old, he is already dying for himself. Prepare—just as you prepare for your teenage years as a baby, and you prepare for your adulthood as a child.

“It’s just that you don’t dare to look directly at death…so the older you get, the more you want to escape, the less you listen to death.

As if death would never come as long as you couldn’t hear it…”

“—But death does come.

”

The skeleton said so calmly.

It is ironic to say this in his current capacity.

Because Duke Skeleton itself is a god born to escape death…

In the records, Duke Skeleton was the last grand duke of the Principality of Sangge—at that time, the Great Barrier had collapsed, and the Principality of Sangge was the principality closest to the Great Barrier.

Before the small enchantment was propped up, the Duchy of Song of Songs had already been submerged in gray fog, and there was no way to retreat.

In the face of “must die”, all superhumans who believe in the burial mother-in-law immediately use their last strength to kill other superhumans in the duchy, and absorb all the curses on them…then take the poison and die before they die. In the past, he sealed his own bones with the unique magic of the burial mother-in-law.

After everyone committed suicide, the Bone Lord silently launched the sublimation ceremony.

He absorbed everyone’s “death” and turned it into the foundation of his own ascension.

Beneath his empty cloak, bound the souls of all citizens.

– It was He who gave no rest to all, and who turned his back on death.

It is this betrayal of “must die”, the betrayal of fate, the betrayal of mission, and the betrayal of the nation that makes him the god of betrayal.

So now…

Longjing Tea’s unease and excitement are getting stronger and stronger.

What did the skeleton man want to say?

What is he trying to do?

Longjing Tea became more and more aware that something was approaching… Even the delicious wind goose and the stray children, who were not so strong in perception, began to feel the chills on their backs.

“I buried everyone. I said goodbye to everyone. I betrayed everyone. I forgot everyone.” The

skeleton said word by word: “I have cut off from everyone. Contact. I say goodbye to everything I am – my world was destroyed that day.”

He rose slowly from the ground.

His stature is tall and majestic, like a pure white mountain.

“I always felt that something was wrong.” The

old man’s voice sounded leisurely: “So it is.

“I have already buried myself…”

After that, the skeleton standing like a knight was silent for a moment.

“— I’m sorry, mother-in-law.

”

It was a very low voice.

Only Dove caught this whisper.

The next moment, the skeleton did something that no one in the room thought of –

I saw him chanting calmly.

“[Destroy] -”

– Destruction of the Proverbs.

The supreme edict blurted out.

In front of the skeleton man.

The dark gray, tsunami-like cone of aura hummed forward –

and

the first to bear the brunt.

The tomb that was guarded by him behind him. In

just a moment – both of them were completely destroyed to ashes!
