Chapter 121 Choice: "False and Real"
"……yes."
Annan nodded honestly.
He was also aware of the problem.
Yaweng reached out and knocked on the corner of the table in the direction close to Zhi Ji, and then picked up the teacup from the table. Although he didn't look at Zhi Ji the whole time, Zhi Ji, who was standing aside with her hands behind her back, suddenly smiled helplessly.
"Let me tell."
Zhi Ji sighed softly: "It's like this... Pygmalion didn't intend to use the power of the Book of Truth to materialize me at the beginning. He believed that I did exist, but I lacked a body and a soul.
"Therefore, he prepared a large-scale alchemy ceremony. Use his soul as the material to refine my soul, and use his body as the material to refine my body...with willing sacrifices, to carry out the 'one life exchange' One life' living body refining.
"I have passed on his memories, his feelings...everything about him.
"Actually, after he died and before I became a god, I had already emerged from the painting."
Zhi Ji murmured softly, pressing her right hand lightly on her chest, feeling her heartbeat: "I'm just carrying the traces of his soul, recasting his body with his physical body, holding his memories and desires... simply taking over from him. Enter the ceremony and become a god."
The bodies of gods originally didn't need a heart—the gods didn't even need to eat at all, and their body composition was naturally completely different from that of mortals.
When the body is reshaped in the Light Realm, they can become any body they want. And if you wish to change your body, you can return to the Light Realm and reshape your divine body at any time.
Because of this, gods can take any form, even ghosts in mirrors. There is more or less a gap between the general gods and the posture of a mortal... This is the gap between ideals and reality.
And the power of the Light Realm can satisfy this ideal.
Zhi Ji is a rather rare exception - she still has a heartbeat.
That's because this body was made by Pygmalion himself, using Pygmalion's body as the raw material. When she entered the Light Realm, she deliberately left this heart as a souvenir.
It is not only the heart of Zhi Ji, but also the heart of Pygmalion.
"so……"
Annan realized the problem.
Since Zhi Ji is indeed real, why does the Book of Truth claim that she is false?
"You see, that's the problem, kid."
Yaon took up the topic.
He made an old and elegant voice: "Before the Book of Truth was born, didn't there be anything corresponding to the Book of Truth in this world?"
"No... The Book of Truth was born after those concepts."
Annan shook his head.
"So, why can "False and Reality" conclude that Zhi Ji is false? Lisa already existed when she left me with the last stroke... The Book of Truth claims that it can turn Lisa into a 'The closest figment of reality'?"
Jawon asked.
Annan frowned, lost in thought.
The so-called "False and Real"...
"……Could it be that,
"Annan's pupils shrank slightly, "It can indeed 'turn' Zhi Ji into an illusory thing that is closest to reality—"
He realized the problem.
Can the book of truth governing "False and Real" not be able to reverse "False and Real" itself? Why can it only turn Zhi Ji into the closest to the real [illusory thing]?
This actually says it all.
——Because Zhi Ji originally existed for real!
"This is the final test of the Book of Truth!"
Annan blurted out.
He finally understood everything.
If Pygmalion believed in the Book of Truth at that time, he decided to use the power of the Book of Truth to "dug out" Zhi Ji from the painting, so that she has a body that can move freely in reality.
——Because that represents Pygmalion, deep in his heart he still thinks that "Sally doesn't exist". His rationality told him that this was the best.
Since there is no real thing in the first place, it seems that it is purely profitable to turn the false thing into a "false thing that is extremely close to the real".
But that meant that he would never see the real Zhi Ji again.
No matter how real that "Lisa" is, she is not the real paper princess... not the paper dragon who is attached to each other across the dimension with Pygmalion but can never speak to each other.
Because the Zhi Ji who fell in love with him at the beginning has been killed by Pygmalion because of the deepest suspicion in his heart. What he endowed with body, mind and soul is only the "Lisa Gherardini" in his imagination.
The self-hatred generated by this pain, the rebellion against real things, and the heart that no longer desires "false things" can make him a "God of Reality".
——Because it represents the illusory side, which has been killed by Pygmalion himself.
Therefore, his existence can anchor this truth and draw a clear line between the real and the false. It would not allow other existences like Zhi Ji to reappear.
"...It turns out that it was the two of you who were selected by "False and Real"!"
Annan suddenly realized.
That's why Pygmalion got such a strange book of truth...
"Because of the more and more attuned hearts between him and me, I am getting closer and closer to the 'real'...but no matter how close, I cannot become the real thing.
"And because his relationship with me is too intense, this same desire is even enough to distort the world. As a result, self-doubt of 'what is real? What is false' suddenly appeared in this world, so this book was born ——There is only one definite answer to being able or not.”
Zhi Ji said softly.
At that time, he was the only person in the world who could use this book of truth—or in other words, only "one" between him and Zhi Ji!
Either let Pygmalion admit that it is impossible for Zhi Ji to exist independently, and construct an "artificial and real thing" that is very close to Zhi Ji; or prepare a formation for Zhi Ji that only has a body and soul, look at her Whether it can really come to this world, so as to completely break down the barrier between illusion and reality.
"...And the decision he finally made because of that impulsive love made me a god of illusory. This also anchored reality unmistakably, making 'illusory things allowed to exist'."
Zhi Ji said softly, looking at the iron gauntlet flying in the air: "It's like that child.
"The existence of ambiguous concepts that the world does not allow has to be on one side. Either it exists or it does not exist... If Pygmalion finally chooses to let the 'other me' accompany him, then the world will be fundamentally ruled by correct.
"That is to say, 'Paper Girl' never existed from the very beginning... My existence is indeed a vain thing. Although I miss him very much, I actually think that this ending might be better. After all... If I always Doesn’t exist, so isn’t he too pitiful.”
Zhi Ji looked at Annan seriously: "The ascension ceremony of the gods is enough to change the past and the future. The choice in the future may even determine the cause of a certain event in the past... This is why Yaweng didn't care about this matter at the beginning.
"It was Pygmalion who was faced with a choice.
"—and now it's you."
