Chapter 341 - 195: Facing the Divine as a Mortal (3)
The events of the past are long buried in the river of history, and Chen Yuan is uninterested in any secrets or unknowns; he only cares about the relationship between Cyan and Qing Bo.
Why did Cyan initially say you shouldn’t have come?
[To execute the seal with absolute rationality and end unnecessary conflict, I stripped away all emotions, thus creating Qing Bo]
Cyan seemed to hear the whispers in everyone’s hearts, and the voice resounded once more.
Qing Bo tilted his head, blinked at Cyan, and let out a cute sound: "Yo?"
Who is Qing Bo?
Why is everyone looking at me?
Suddenly a bit scared, Qing Bo turned and flew behind Chen Yuan.
"It’s okay, don’t be afraid." Chen Yuan patted Qing Bo’s head and looked up at Cyan, "What does the stripping away of emotion mean?"
[Pain, compassion, kindness, courage...]
[These emotions can interfere with the balance of nature, making it difficult to make the most correct decision]
[Only by maintaining absolute rationality can life attain eternity]
Chen Yuan fell silent, quietly watching the utterly confused Qing Bo.
He had expected this child to be special, but not to such an extent.
Is Qing Bo actually the embodiment of Cyan’s emotions?
No wonder this little guy sometimes acts like a silly child, like an absolutely emotional being.
Cyan might represent the divinity of the Divine, while Qing Bo, who embodies numerous emotions, represents "humanity."
"Then why did you say Qing Bo shouldn’t come?" Chen Yuan asked.
[When Qing Bo returns, all emotions will return to me, and I will completely awaken]
When divinity and humanity combine, Cyan will return to full strength.
Chen Yuan frowned: "What will happen to this little one then?"
[Disappear]
Hearing this, Chen Yuan pulled Qing Bo behind him and looked at Cyan: "Then you’d better not fully awaken."
[...]
Upon hearing this, everyone widened their eyes and looked at Chen Yuan’s back in disbelief.
As expected of Mr. Chen, he dared say such words to a Divine.
Lu Ran trembled with excitement, his eyes filled with unprecedented thrill: "As expected of the opponent I recognize!"
Zhang Yu nudged Chen Wenhao and asked quietly, "Has Advisor Chen always been so brave?"
Facing the Divine as a mere mortal.
Chen Wenhao was momentarily speechless: "Uh... maybe my brother has his own thoughts."
Chen Yuan indeed had his own thoughts.
This Divine named Cyan didn’t treat them as insignificant ants as Chen Yuan imagined; their conversation was quite harmonious.
More importantly, Cyan’s words revealed a key piece of information—He highly values absolute rationality and believes life should achieve eternity through it.
Along with His initial words, Chen Yuan speculated that Cyan didn’t want Qing Bo to return.
Furthermore, the authorities likely wouldn’t want an uncontrollable Divine to completely awaken either.
With thoughts flashing through, Chen Yuan looked up at Cyan with piercing eyes: "Those earlier Pet Beasts were actually controlled by you to prevent Qing Bo from approaching you, right?"
"You actually don’t want Qing Bo to return, don’t want to regain those emotions."
[....]
Cyan did not respond, but the silence was the answer.
Chen Yuan instantly firmed up his guess.
"What do you think of my suggestion?" Chen Yuan tilted his head toward Qing Bo.
The system could not collect the Source Point, perhaps because Cyan hadn’t fully awakened yet.
But, but.....
If to get the Source Point, Cyan had to fully awaken, Chen Yuan could only watch this adorable little one disappear completely; he might regret this choice for countless nights.
But if Qing Bo itself wanted to return, then he hadn’t said anything.
Chen Yuan’s thoughts could only represent himself; he couldn’t decide for Qing Bo.
"Yoyo."
Qing Bo raised his head, his azure eyes shimmering with a dazed light. Sometimes it looked at Chen Yuan, then at Cyan.
Then, it shook its head and spread a big smile.
I want to play with everyone!
[I have come to understand your thoughts]
[But with the revival of all things, the awakening of the Divine, old grudges and conflicts may resurface]
Upon hearing this, everyone’s expression changed slightly.
Previously, they did not know why the first Spiritual Energy Revival ended; now that they knew the reason, they naturally worried about those Divines clashing again, causing irreversible impact on the world.
The scenes depicted, such as mountains and rivers shattered, storms and winds swirling, they don’t want to experience that.
"What should we do?" Professor Song stepped forward, asking in a deep voice.
[Find them before they fully awaken and stop them]
Chen Yuan’s eyes flashed with a glimmer, secretly grumbling: "How familiar, the save-the-world plot."
"Got it." Professor Song nodded heavily, then asked, "We are very concerned about your attitude towards humans."
[All life is meaningless to me, as long as the balance of nature remains unbroken, I will not appear]
Chen Yuan nodded silently, indeed, Cyan holds absolute rationality.
To Him, even if a race were to go extinct, it might not stir even a ripple in His heart.
Professor Song nodded in understanding, and asked again: "We really want to know, have the other Divines already awakened?"
[Already awakened]
Everyone’s expression changed dramatically.
[But having been asleep for thousands of years, their powers are a mere fraction of what they once were, far from being fully awakened]
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Professor Song’s expression remained unchanged as he continued to pose question after question: "How do other Divines view humans, where should we go to find them?"
"How did Emperor Yu instigate conflict among the Divines?"
Cyan no longer responded, the large face gradually faded away, as if it had never appeared.
