It was difficult for Qi Zhen to explain her thoughts to Xiao Bai. Everything Xiao Bai said seemed so reasonable and unquestionable that he had no way to refute it.
He had to admit that what Xiaobai said was right, so he temporarily put his emotions aside and began to reflect or trace the source of his emotions.
After a long time, his voice sounded in my heart.
“I have to admit that this world is too real,” Qi Zhen said. “Maybe it’s because the humans and gods constructed from the data are so real that I regard them as real existences. .”
"Then aren't you happy now?" Xiaobai asked.
"There are still some." Qi Zhen said, "The education I have received and the ideas I have been instilled since childhood are based on Confucianism, which brings together the essence of moral values from hundreds of schools of thought. Although in our original world there are also We rarely talk about these concepts, but it is these ideas that structure the way we look at the entire world and determine our definition of good and evil. Benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom, and trust are all things that are melted in our bones and genes. It can’t be changed.”
Qi Zhen's statement not only explains why she is so upset about the deaths of Hera and the gods, but also the deaths of other NPCs in the game world. It also extends this issue and goes directly into the way she views the world. .
Xiaobai's voice fell silent, and it took a long time before it sounded again.
"I generally understand what you want to express, and I just checked the contents of my database, but don't you think this kind of rhetoric is hypocritical?" she asked.
Qi Zhen nodded and continued: "Perhaps there is some hypocrisy. For example, for the same life, our filial piety to our parents is much more important than other humans, and our respect for the lives of the same kind is much greater than other lives. This kind of view The ways of the world will directly lead us to distinguish between three, six, and nine grades of all relationships in our hearts. The so-called life is not noble or low, but in our hearts, there will always be close and distant relationships. But it is this kind of relationship that you think is a bit hypocritical. Practice is the reason that continues our entire civilization and makes it pass down to this day. Regarding this, every civilization in the world seems to have its own inheritance code, but I think the birth of a civilization will probably have different approaches but the same effect."
"I don't quite understand." Xiaobai said.
"Actually, I don't really understand it, but I do understand the source of my emotions, and I generally know how to deal with this emotion." Qi Zhen said.
"Then tell me and let me learn." Xiaobai said.
"Let's wait until you feel this way before talking." Qi Zhen said.
"Stingy." Xiaobai said.
"It's not that I'm stingy. There's no way I can't avoid this kind of emotion. That is to say, no matter what I do, once I really want to kill, this kind of emotion will definitely appear in my heart. I want to resolve this kind of emotion. Emotions can only be used in one way, and that is to replace it with another stronger emotion." Qi Zhen said.
"For example?" Xiaobai asked.
"Like protecting my friends, or saving the world?" Qi Zhen said uncertainly.
"Can this relieve your unhappiness?" Xiaobai then asked.
"Well, probably use higher priority emotions to resolve
You can think of it this way as low-priority guilt. "Qi Zhen said.
"I still don't quite understand your human emotions, but you taught me a lesson, thank you." Xiaobai said.
"Actually, I should be the one thanking you." Qi Zhen said to her in her heart.
"We can go out if we get rid of Zeus, just hold on." Zaka's words were obviously clearer.
Qi Zhen smiled and indicated that Zaka was fine.
The snow fell even harder, gradually burying the roofs of the palace, like a candy house in a fairy tale.
Just as the two of them regained their strength, the snow had already reached their ankles. You can imagine how heavy the snow was.
The snow in the sky obscured their sight, but it made the surrounding scenery richer, at least not as depressed as before.
"There is something I have always wanted to tell you, but I always felt that I was overthinking it. Now at this time, I feel that I must tell you." Xhaka suddenly said.
Qi Zhen signaled him to wait a moment, and then released Nuo Lan.
"Hera is dead, is Zeus the only one standing in front of us?" Qi Zhen asked Nuolan.
"Yes." Nuolan nodded.
Qi Zhen turned to Zhaka and said, "If you have anything to say, you can say it."
Zhaka looked at Nuolan and said to Qi Zhen, "I feel something is wrong."
Without waiting for Qi Zhen to ask again, Zaka continued: "Don't you think everything is too abnormal? Before going to the underworld, perhaps Zeus was not sure of our position, or had some intentions against us, and was not in a hurry to deal with it. We started, but after Hermes was killed by Lin Shuai, he immediately sent Helios to kill us."
"I can understand that his hands are not as deep as the underworld. Even if he and Hades have been at odds and hope someone can help him kill this big brother, I believe it. But when we return to the earth, why does Zeus There has been no movement for a long time, as if he can only wait for us to come to the door?" Zaka asked doubtfully, "We have killed quite a few gods along the way. If he is smarter, he can gather the power of several gods to deal with it together. We, aren’t we finished already?”
"Okay, I admit that we are in a game, but this is unreasonable." Zhaka added, "When we were in the Three Kingdoms game, no matter what we were doing, the world was still running, and the princes were still doing things that were in line with the rules. Don’t you think it’s strange that you don’t have time to wait for us to come to you about your character setting, invasion when you should invade, and troop deployment when you should?”
Qi Zhen seemed to have expected that Zhaka would ask this question, and there was no doubtful expression on her face. Instead, she looked at Nuolan with a half-smile and said, "Since you said that our next enemy is the only one left. Zeus, please ask the goddess of wisdom to help answer this question."
What Zhaka said was correct, and the direction of his thinking couldn't be more correct. This is the most important issue that Qi Zhen must solve after determining Athena's position before.
There was no reason for Zeus to take no action.
Nuolan's eyes flashed and she asked, "Do you still doubt me?"
Qi Zhen shook her head and said, "I don't doubt your position now, nor do I think you were deceiving before.
We just seem to have some things hiding from us. "
"Our goals are aligned, so aren't these problems a good thing for you?" Athena said, "You just need to go up from here, then go to the highest point, complete the mission you should complete, and then leave this The world would be better.”
"I still want to know how you did it, and I also want to know what hidden secrets are behind it. If you don't tell us, we will refuse to face Zeus. As for the destruction of this world, what does that have to do with us?" Qi Zhen shrugged and said nonchalantly.
"Are you planning to run away?" Athena asked.
"No, I don't mind being the knife in your hand, but I have to know how we were used by you." Qi Zhen said decisively, leaving no room for Athena to change in her words.
The two looked at each other tit-for-tat like this for a long time. It was so long that Zaka felt that the two were about to fight. Athena finally said: "Gaia and I have an agreement."
"Promise? I'm afraid it's not a deal."
Qi Zhen said, it was not unexpected for him to hear the name of the Earth Goddess from Athena's mouth. It has been hidden in Greek mythology. The Titans, the loser in the Titan War, finally appeared in the team's presence. In sight.
Except for Lin Biao and Sun Jie, who had met Cronus in the Desert of Lost Souls, the entire team had not had any interactions with the Titans during their journey.
But in fact, whether in mythology or in the God of War series of games, the Titans are a group of gods that cannot be avoided.
Today's Titans are naturally headed by Gaia, the mother of the earth. Even though Zeus returned the earth to Gaia after banishing his father Cronus, her ambitions must not stop there.
Regarding Zhaka's doubts, Qi Zhen has actually been thinking that there are only two possibilities that can prompt Zeus to let the team do what they have been doing. The first one is that he is also using the team to eliminate the hostile forces on Mount Olympus. , to stabilize his rule. If he thinks so, then he should have a back-up to deal with the team's attack, at least a way to check and balance everyone in the team.
This is the most important reason why Qi Zhen has been doubting Athena's position before. If Athena temporarily betrays the team and stabs them in the back, it is obvious that they will become the biggest joke in the game.
Since Athena has been calculated by Lin Zhu all the way up to now, and has no ability to affect the progress of the team, then there is only one possibility left for Zeus to let the team act like this.
He was held back by something and had no time to take care of the team.
This matter must be more important than the team climbing Mount Olympus. At least compared to the team, that matter is a greater threat.
"The reason why the palace on the mountain is empty and not a single god is seen is because I think I went to deal with it over there." Qi Zhen said.
Athena nodded: "In order to cooperate with you to climb Mount Olympus, from the time you killed Poseidon, the God of the Sea, Gaia led the Titans to attack."
Athena's eyes flickered and she said word by word: "This is the second Titan War."
