"I understand." Iapetus bowed slightly in front of Lyanna. "I will definitely convey the meaning of the Lord of the Spirit World. But I hope you can give a more detailed description so that I can present it to the God King." Nodding, Lyanna calmly said the decision that Lyanna had made in advance. "The Lord can give thoughts to all things, but the gods need to create life themselves, determine the nature of their creations, and give them corresponding powers." "Whether it is appearance or ability, it is the gods' own business. The Lord will only give them souls at the end of everything according to the pre-determined requirements, and when they die, the souls of all things will return to the arms of my Lord." "Death?" Hearing this, Iapetus was a little surprised. This is a word he has never heard of. There is no "death" in the language of the gods where Chaos was born naturally. "Yes, "death". This is a word in the language of the spirit world that describes extinction and the end." Nodding, Lyanna explained.
Ryan used the oldest source of text on the oracle slab to evolve the spirit text, which naturally has its own pronunciation. Many words that are not in Chaos's divine language can be found in the language of the spirit world. 'Death' is one of them, and the 'wine' that is indispensable at the banquet of the gods now comes from this. "I'm very sorry, but respected goddess of the underworld, I don't quite understand why life will 'die' after gaining thinking?" On the side, after listening to Lyanna's explanation, Iapetus was still a little puzzled. The Lord of the Spirit World is not interested in fabricating a body, and the God of Speech is not surprised. Even if he hasn't done it yet, he can think of it. Creating life is by no means an easy task. But when it comes to 'death', Iapetus can't understand it. In the past years, he has never seen a spiritual thing die, or he doesn't understand why there is death. In the impression of God, all conscious existence is eternal. Being imprisoned in the abyss is already a terrible punishment, and eternal sleep is the most unacceptable ending. As for the end and extinction, people cannot imagine and understand things beyond their understanding, and so can gods. Facing Iapetus's doubts, Lyanna said lightly: "Before the Lord gathered the power of spiritual life, it was not that there was no life with consciousness, such as plants. You cannot perceive their hazy thoughts, which does not mean that they do not exist, but that this weak thinking is not enough to form a soul." "Just as plants can be destroyed, thinking life can also die. In this world, only gods are immortal. Unless the gods sever part of their divinity, all things will eventually die, which is also the destined ending of fate." ".What about the soul?" After a moment of silence, the God of Speech keenly discovered The question: "The body of life will 'die', but won't their souls die?" "Of course, but it will die more slowly." Lyanna had expected the ignorance of the gods in the outside world, so she continued to explain: "In the world, matter is easier to manifest than spirituality, so the body is easier to decay than the soul. When the mortal body dies, its soul is far from the end. Life belongs to the gods, but the soul belongs to my Lord. When they lose their sustenance in the world, they should naturally return to the spiritual world and return to the embrace of the spiritual master." "I understand." Iapetus nodded, indicating that he understood. He could accept such a result, but the gods might not have objections to it. But that had nothing to do with him. After all, he was just a messenger. "Life and 'death' are really magical phenomena, but they also make sense. How can the creations of the gods be compared with their creators? 'Death' is indeed a very good existence. It allows them to realize the difference between gods and themselves after they have thoughts." With some emotion, Iapetus finally said: "I will convey His Highness Ryan's intentions truthfully, but the specific decision will be handed over to the God King for the final decision."
"Then go." Lyanna said lightly: "The decision of the gods is their business, and my Lord's intention has been expressed." "If anyone still has objections, let him try to come to the spirit world. If he can come in, my Lord will take the time to see him." "Now, you can leave." After calmly saying the last sentence, Lyanna's wings behind her fluttered gently. In a trance, she disappeared silently in front of Iapetus. Watching Lyanna disappear as she came, the God of Speech waited for a while in the same place, and then turned and left. He didn't know whether the gods would accept the idea of 'souls returning to the underworld after death'. After all, 'death' was a new thing for all the gods today. But since the result had been received, Iapetus simply handed the decision back to the gods. No matter what the final result was, his mission was over. ······ Three days later, with the help of wind and space, Iapetus rushed back to the sacred mountain. Just like six days ago, the banquet of the gods was still going on, and they were all waiting for the return of the god of speech. In front of the gods, he recounted his experiences of this trip one by one, especially emphasizing his own difficulties and how he cleverly used his divine power to convince the mysterious ancient god. "I tried my best to persuade him, and finally, His Highness Ryan told me that only when the body and soul come together can life have thoughts. He promised to give souls to all things after the gods created them, and I am very grateful for his kindness." After listening to the God of Speech, the gods were moved by his words. They really felt Iapetus's hard work, and even many gods with weaker powers respected him. "But in the end, His Highness Ryan told me that non-god life will "die". All things will die, and the decay of matter is much faster than the soul, so the soul of the living after death should also return to the spirit world." "Death? Excuse me, is this a new word?" Next to the Queen Rhea, the three white oak goddesses born from the blood of Uranus asked. Like Iapetus before, the gods present also expressed doubts. Seeing this, the God of Speech repeated in detail the news he got from Lyanna. The gods had different reactions to this. When the true gods pay attention, they can sense the hazy thoughts of plants. Just like people don't care about ants, the gods in the past never cared about this. In the end, they all accepted the existence of "death". It is reasonable to use life and death to define the difference between mortals and gods. It may be more troublesome later. Every few thousand years, they have to create a batch of life. The last problem of creating life has been solved. Seeing that this trip is complete, the God of Speech is ready to return to his seat. But at this moment, the eldest son of the ancient sea god Pontus suddenly stood up. That is the sea friendliness, a sea god with a good relationship with many gods. Even in the Ocean God system, many gods have a good impression of him. "His Highness Ryan is willing to give life a soul, and I am very grateful to him." In his usual spring breeze tone, Nereus looked at Iapetus and said slowly: "But is the ownership of the soul still to be discussed?" "I think this should not be my own idea."
