Time is an elusive objective existence that requires subjective definition.
It's very subtle, and also very "playful" - drought will cause death, and waterlogging will cause death! For example, Blue Star people are the kind of people who are dying of drought. Countless people and countless generations have pursued immortality and believe that immortality is out of reach.
Even the myths, legends, and fairy books dreamed up by Blue Star people also have lifespan limits, such as the number of human immortals is 200, the destiny of earthly immortals is 500, the destiny of heavenly immortals is 3000... and so on, as well as divine objects and fairy treasures. The lifespan that can be increased is also limited. For example, a flat peach that ripens in 3,000 years can only make a mortal become an immortal. A flat peach that ripens in 6,000 years can achieve immortality. A flat peach that ripens in 9,000 years can live as long as heaven and earth.
And the so-called life of heaven and earth only represents one reincarnation era!
Mortals can't imagine real gods. The immortality that Blue Star people crave but never get is just "racial talent" for most extraordinary people!
To use a specific metaphor, the Mayfly only has a life of 24 hours, but the Blue Star people have decades of life. Of course, the Mayfly cannot understand why the Blue Star people can live so long.
On the level of time, the source of the void, the sole owner of the void world, has the most say. If he sleeps casually, hundreds of epochs of reincarnation may have passed in the world on the side of the material world, like Blue Star. The world of Samsara that updates faster may be able to break through 10,000 epochs!
However, Nyarlathotep's statement is different from the past and has real basis.
"Azathos has just issued an order for all members of the Void World to move out into the material world, and suddenly fell into a deep sleep..." Nyarlathotep squirmed his huge body and let out a dull exhale, "Do you think it is reasonable? ?"
Azathoth, the name of the source of the void, is a name that will be sensed by the void as long as it is spoken. It means "Lord of the Void", "Tree of the Void", and "Endless Origin".
"There is nothing reasonable or unreasonable in the void world. There is no truth at all here." As usual, Shabuniculus gave Nyarlathotep a retort, and then got down to business, "But Asa Toss really shouldn’t fall asleep at this time.”
"In order to wait for the opportunity to enter the material world, Azathoth has stayed awake for 108 consecutive voids. There is no reason for the opportunity to come, and he went to sleep just as the passage was opened." Yog-Sothoth added.
Void is the unit used to calculate time in the void world, but this unit is a bit... anti-traditional!
Every time Azathoth goes from sleeping to waking up, or from waking to sleeping, it is a new beginning! And whether Azathoth is awake or asleep, there is no fixed time. It can be long or short. If it is long, it must be calculated according to the great era of reincarnation of Blue Star. If it is short, it will be hundreds of millions of years.
Therefore, the time unit of the void world - emptiness, is truly emptiness! Not accurate at all!
What Yog-Sothoth said about Azathoth never sleeping in the 108 Void means that every time Azathoth dozed off, he would immediately force himself to wake up again.
Being able to resist sleeping shows how much Azathoth values the opportunity to enter the material world.
Now two of the three channels have been opened. Just wait for the last channel to be opened, and the void world will be completely connected to the material world. No one will be able to close it by then. In this great situation, Azathoth fell asleep... It's strange no matter how you look at it.
"Is there something affecting Azathoth?" Yog-Sothoth asked Nyarlathotep.
"Maybe there is, maybe there is not..." Nyarlathotep couldn't be sure. He wasn't trying to shirk it, but he just didn't understand. Judging from the last time he met Azathoth, Azathoth's Void Temple There is some more energy that was not there before, but the void world is inherently chaotic. New energy is born every moment, and old energy is annihilated. It is not surprising that Azathoth suddenly "creates" some new energy. .
However, after those energies appeared, Azathoth immediately fell asleep... This made Nyarlathotep have to think about it.
"Only by connecting to the material world can we have the opportunity to go further. This principle has not changed." Nyarlathotep concluded: "Whether Azathoth's will exists or not, we all need to do our own thing. "
Sabnigulus and Yog-Sothoth stopped talking and took the time to dig hard in order to make the passage larger to accommodate more family members to pass through at the same time.
At the same time, deep in the void, where the stars meet, a temple stands alone between reality and reality. The temple's appearance is rough and dilapidated. It is not only dull, but also constantly absorbs the light of the stars surrounding it.
Of course, the light of the stars is not very dazzling, but it has a somewhat chaotic and nauseating feeling, like distorted oil paint.
The temple is extremely huge. With the visual ability of Blue Star people, it is impossible to see how high, how wide and how deep it is.
In the center of the temple, there is a throne that is so broken that it is difficult to see the original shape. On top of the throne are chains as thick as the diameter of a blue star. The chains are tied to a huge... tentacle ball! There are crater-like structures scattered between the tentacles.
The tentacles were squirming irregularly, as if they were breathing and trembling.
This is the source of the void and the lord of the void - Azathoth, a gigantic creature whose size is similar to that of Arcturus and whose real size is hard to estimate. It sometimes actually exists and sometimes disappears!
Arcturus, the brightest star in the constellation Boötes in the blue star universe, has a diameter 21 times that of the sun!
Azathoth is so huge that it is impossible to distinguish the various parts of his body, but this is normal. The body structure of the evil god is different from that of normal gods.
At approximately the center of Azathoth's head, a "little man" with a height of more than ten meters is suspended. He is transmitting energy to Azathoth little by little - dark energy!
If Taiyi were here, he could use his spiritual sense to tell who the "little man" was with one "eye", even though the appearance of this "little man" was completely different from when Taiyi saw him.
It is a pity that Taiyi is not here, and no one in the void world knows this "villain".
"The Void World? Another interesting world." The "villain" said to himself while transmitting dark energy, "I have traveled to so many worlds, and this is the first time I encountered the Void World. This is the world where the God Emperor can be born. , is it unique and special?”
"The efficiency of these void energies in converting dark energy is too high!" the "villain" continued, "A conversion rate of ten to nine? With such efficient energy, why go to the material world to plunder those three melons and two dates? The Dark Energy Realm is also strange enough... I really want to go there and take a look if I have the chance."
The "villain" seems to be very accustomed to casual chatting, even when there are no other people around.
Thanks to the efforts of the "villain", Azathoth, whose skin color changes, is gradually changing to black.
