Rinaudo didn't understand. He didn't understand what the Earth Goddess wanted to tell him.
But yes, if the Earth Goddess directly tells him the answer to this test paper, then the answer to this question will have a fixed direction in his impression. No matter how the final result changes, he cannot escape from that center in the end.
But he was asked to think about the two mysteries of life, life and death, in 30 days. How could he figure it out so easily?
If he can really understand the two so easily, then no matter who is high or low in life and death in the world, he must have a share.
Rinaudo thought about what the goddess told him in distress, and finally sat down on the ground of the temple without any image.
“Isn’t decay the process of a corpse returning to the earth?”
Rinaudo even took out the rotten divine power and looked at it many times. At these times, after he had a stronger godhead, he rarely used the rotten power. Now when he took it out again, it felt like he was reunited after a long separation.
It was obviously the godhead that he had studied for the longest time before.
It seems that it is correct that a godhead cannot have too much, but having too much energy is not enough.
30 days sounds like a long time, but if you really let time flow, it goes by in the blink of an eye.
Rinaudo racked his brains, hoping to come up with something different, but in the end he couldn't give himself a satisfactory answer.
According to the last agreement, the Earth Goddess appeared in the temple on time.
The originally neat and majestic Earth Temple is now half entangled with vegetation, while the other half is filled with nutrients left by the decay of the plants.
After a series of efforts, Rinaudo only succeeded in adding something called biogas to the power of corrosion, and it did not even form a godhead alone.
Fortunately, the goddess didn't care about the scrawled temple. She came to Rinaudo and asked softly: "Rinaudo, do you have your own answer?"
The soft voice of the goddess was like a breeze blowing on the face, giving no pressure at all. Rinaudo really felt that he was quite embarrassed. He couldn't think of an answer, and he didn't know if he had let the goddess down.
It's like a child, no matter how lawless he is outside, but his parents still don't want them to see his embarrassing side.
But you have to face what you have to face, and Rinaudo could only shake his head honestly.
None of this seemed to be beyond the goddess's expectations.
"Come out with me and have a look. No matter how magnificent this temple is, it is still just a residence belonging to the earth. If you think hard here, even on the day when the world is destroyed, it will be difficult to think of anything beyond your knowledge. matter."
Rinaudo was a little hesitant, but still nodded.
"where are we going?"
Rinaudo asked, who had recruited Bai Yun as his substitute, but saw that the goddess Gaia had no intention of walking onto the clouds.
"Life and death are everywhere, but the life and death on the earth are the most intense. The sky is really empty and too vast. Its former owner was too self-centered and did not want any life to rest there. , it is the farthest place from life and death.”
Rinaudo heard it half-understood, but he also understood what the goddess meant.
So he dispersed the clouds he had summoned, came to the goddess, and walked with her in the world of the earth.
At the first stop, they came to a lush grove, which seemed to be newly grown. The traces of time here were not strong, but it was much better than the scorched earth outside that was affected by the aftermath of the battle and now had no signs of life. .
Perhaps the scorched earth along the way represents death on earth?
Rinaudo asked the goddess.
"The earth will not die, at least not until the world collapses forever. It just changes its form, protecting children who are different from the past, and allowing new children to take root in itself."
"Then does this forest represent life again?"
"Perhaps forget it. Plants are quite ancient. When your brother Cleos, the god of growth, was born, the whole world was born with trees, flowers and plants, and famous names emerged from a huge land and silent ocean. Plants are the embellishments of the world, but those plants only know how to grow without restraint. Later, they provoked Ouranos, and the owners of the plants were punished by Uranus. Whenever the plants grew to At a certain height, all life will be lost.”
"Is losing all vitality the precursor to death?"
"Maybe, at least after Ouranos cast this curse, it didn't take long for my sister to give birth to the twins."
After speaking, the two gods continued to walk in the forest.
Both Rinaudo and Gaia have a natural affinity for plants. The former symbolizes the other side of plants. Although that side is not very good, it is still real. The latter is sought after by all creatures on the earth, even if that thing does not A little wisdom.
They were like elves without divine power, walking quietly on the earth without even leaving any traces.
This forest is also so peaceful.
Until a small rodent beast came out of nowhere, glanced at them, and then ran out in the other direction.
This thing looks a bit like a rabbit.
Unfortunately, there happened to be a strange creature with a long tail and a sharp mouth like a fox in the direction he ran out. It opened its big mouth and bit the little rodent beast in one bite.
Rinaudi subconsciously wanted to protect the weak, but his outstretched hand was blocked by his mother.
Facing Rinaudo's confused gaze, Gaia just shook her head.
"The world has its own rules. Gods should not be above the world, and they also have their own rules for survival. We cannot be above the rules either."
Naturally, Rinaudo would not do anything drastic because of such a little animal that had nothing to do with him, so he just did nothing and watched the little animal lose its life and become a meal.
Then he followed the fox-like beast for a while, watching the fox being preyed upon by stronger beasts and becoming a new meal.
"But what does this have to do with decay? Those dead animals become food for more powerful animals. Those more powerful animals can live by filling their stomachs. This is indeed life and death, but I am not a god of animal hunting. I There is no way to learn anything useful from it.”
Rinaudo really didn't understand what the goddess wanted to do, until he once again saw an animal of the same kind as the rodent he saw last time. It was like going back in time, another fox-like animal. He also happened to be hiding in the grass.
This time Rinaudo didn't intend to take action, but the goddess Gaia gently picked up the little animal.
"Rigidly abiding by the rules you already have will be trapped forever by an invisible network. Sometimes not all rules must be strictly followed. All pioneers are those who do not abide by the default rules. God, for example, the flute you made a few days ago, no one before you has ever thought that trees can be turned into instruments that can always play tunes."
"So what do you want me to pursue?"
"Stupid, keep walking."
"Ah, uh, okay."
"So what do you mean?"
"Just follow me."
