"have no idea?"
After repeating these three words, Soshiyang smiled and joked:
"You didn't deny it directly, that is to say, there is such a possibility, right?"
Mardell responded with silence.
"It means you have suspected it, but you can't touch such a core secret, so you don't know. Well, I can understand it. After all, neither Asuryan nor Szarak will really trust you."
"What you think is up to you."
"By the way, you called me Xu Cong's body before, so that means you shouldn't know anything about Gray Marrow. I said, don't lie, otherwise the consequences will be serious."
"I really don't know what gray marrow is. I only know the spiritual marrow used by the ancient sages to reconstruct Asuryan."
"Hey, are you playing a word game with me?"
Just as he was about to teach the other party a lesson, Soshyan suddenly remembered that Orode's previous photo mentioned that the Barathonilash tribe, the servants of the ancient saint, also knew about the spiritual essence.
Spiritual Essence: Is this the truth about Gray Essence?
"Then tell me, what is this spiritual essence?"
"My understanding is limited. I probably only know that it is matter obtained from some singular spaces in the universe, but only the ancient sages can touch those mysterious areas. They are separated from all space and time, and are empty spaces with zero entropy. .That’s all.”
"What does it have to do with Blackstone?"
"I can only speculate that the manufacturing technology of black stone is probably related to the singularity hole that produces spiritual marrow. However, the difficulty of the two is very different. At least the Necrontyr has never touched such a mysterious and unpredictable thing related to the soul. substance."
"Then what does the spiritual marrow have to do with me being the body of a slave?"
"Do you still need to ask knowingly?"
"I just wanted to ask."
"Although there are some changes, the strange energy groups that are gradually stabilizing in your body are basically the spiritual marrow. The core of Xu Cong's consciousness uses this as an anchor to continuously move in reality and subspace."
"Where's Asuyan?"
"I have no idea."
"Then say what you know."
"I said, no! Know! Dao!"
Soshyan laughed and walked around the other party.
"You still have a bad temper? Get up. Since you are Asuryan's messenger, you should know his character very well. Tell me what kind of god he is from your personal point of view."
Mardell stood up from the ground, even so he could reach Soshyan's waist height. After that, his withered and decayed face showed many strange expressions, and finally became calm.
"It is meaningless to judge a god with mortal language, but if you insist on telling me, the ancient sage must have given it too much mortalness when shaping it, perhaps in order to subdue the core of Xu's consciousness. The animal nature or primitive instinct, but it turned out that this was a failure. Asuryan's divinity had to fight against its mortal nature and animal nature for a long time after that, which made it difficult for the Ada race. Its attitude has a very contradictory external expression, which also makes the surrounding beings unable to understand many of its behaviors. Probably only Isa can know what it is thinking. During a certain period, Asuryan's divinity finally prevailed. , and it was at that time that it began to stay behind closed doors in the Holy Vault. Generally speaking, during the war in heaven, it was a very just, wise, and sometimes even sentimental god who often fought for the survival of the Adas. and worry about development. During the period just after the War in Heaven, it began to become a little chaotic, suspicious, and behaved chaotically. In the end, only indifference remained."
Soshiyang always felt a little familiar when he heard this, as if it was slightly similar to a certain existence.
"Is the Blood-Handed Kane among the Elda Gods also a Star God?"
"Yes, and it was captured by Asuryan himself, but it is not powerful, and the ancient saints also had reservations about transforming it, perhaps because it does not have the special ability of Xu Cong."
"What about the other gods of Ada? How did Isha come to be, for example?"
"These all come from the collective consciousness of the Adas who have developed psychic talents. The first one born was Val, because the duty of the Ada family was not a war race at first, but to make psychic protective gear for the Krocs on the front line. Craftsman is the craft race among them, and craftsman is their most common occupation. Val is a spiritual entity born from the dedication and intoxication of the Ada craftsmen in their crafts. And because the ancient sage gave the Ada a powerful reproductive ability, the Ada clan's Women have been giving birth to offspring for a long time. Their worship of fertility and prayer for the health of their children gave birth to Isa, the god of motherhood. And because the men in early Ada society were all craftsmen and warriors, the basic The gathering and production occupations are all held by women, and Isha has become the embodiment of nature."
"Huh? Can collective consciousness produce gods?"
"Of course it's not that simple. The Ancient Saints created so many lives, but there are only a handful of races that can reach the spiritual sensitivity of Ada. Occasionally, there are some who can surpass Ada, but their numbers are rare due to their own shortcomings. Only Ada With their strong reproductive capabilities, once their numbers reach a certain level, it will not be that difficult to create psychic entities."
"You just said that the ancient saint used his mortal nature to suppress the animal nature of the Xu followers. Does that mean that now I also have a mortal nature that suppresses the beast nature of the Xu followers?"
Mardel thought for a moment and nodded.
"It should be, but what kind of mortal nature can be comparable to the consciousness implanted by the ancient saint? Even Asuryan's mortal nature was slowly obliterated in the end."
In response to Mader's rhetorical question, Soshyan did not answer, but nodded thoughtfully.
At this point, it seems that the context has emerged. The Immortal Star Ruins has always been Asuryan, and it has always existed. It was just that Asuryan was suppressed by the mortal nature created by the ancient saint in the past, but I don’t know why. Is there a conflict between mortal nature and divinity, or is the so-called core of consciousness of Xu Cong too strong? Asuryan's mortal nature eventually faded away, and what will happen once the mortal nature fades away?
Will Asuyan become a slave? But it still has its divinity, and logically it should be able to suppress the followers. However, judging from the information obtained from mortals, the gray marrow should be able to accommodate divinity.
Could it be said that if only divinity is left, it will be merged with Xu Cong, wouldn't that be great?
Or is it that once they merge, what will be born will be something else?
Anyway, it is obvious that Asuryan should not have made such a choice, otherwise it would not have arranged the gray marrow and its subsequent events, but what happened to it is still the most critical information, from Asuryan to Xu Cong and even The current gray marrow must have a very important process. Knowing this process can explain the core goal of this plan.
And a key question——
Is Asuryan still there?
The only person who can answer this question, as Mardell said, is Isha who can enter the Holy Vault and was with Asuryan at the last moment of the Eldar's fall.
