Chapter 949: Chapter 465: The Divine Spirit’s Philosophical Question (Part 2)

Zosia glanced at Inanna.

"Primordial Being, do you not have mortal desires?" Li Ang asked.

"Yes," Zosia answered decisively.

"We may have inclinations towards things, but we don’t have the fluctuating emotions of mortals. If there are few things that stir waves in our hearts, we will pursue them endlessly, whether we understand why or not.

"In this process, we undergo changes, becoming endowed with some of the attributes of mortals. Since this change is rooted in ourselves, I consider it growth, but no Primordial Being acknowledges it, so I named it ’Completion Process.’

Li Ang heard the first half of the sentence and was wondering if Jenova wasn’t very interested in combat until he heard the answer in the latter half.

Indeed, although that Marble Divine Spirit was passionate about battle, he always carried a near-calm repression, and an unreasonable forcefulness, which was a sign of his incomplete emotions.

"For many Primordial Beings, ruling over servants changes their inner self, which is why they are enthusiastic about it, even if they don’t realize they are subconsciously completing themselves," Zosia said.

So there’s another layer of connection.

Li Ang felt, not sure if it was the Creator God’s intention, or the overwhelming Power wore down the body’s emotional response function. Primordial Beings should be emotionally apathetic, needing intensely strong emotions to stir them slightly.

This situation, in the Human race, could easily lead to mental disorders.

However, Li Ang understood why Zosia was so obsessed with this issue.

Is this also a kind of fairness? Born without a lack of Power, but lacking self.

"I’d like to hear, what does a mortal who can wield the same Power as us perceive about this question," Zosia said.

This is a philosophical issue. It seems Zosia’s previous attempts hadn’t yielded satisfactory answers, Li Ang thought.

He is someone between a Primordial Being and mortal, perhaps Zosia hopes he possesses a unique perspective to resolve the confusion.

"The meaning of life depends on your perspective..."

Li Ang mined and pieced together fragments of knowledge from various videos, essays, novels, and his own understanding.

"Perspective?"

"Well, for example, if viewed from a broad and macro perspective, perhaps life is inherently meaningless."

"That’s absurd, Father God created us and the world; it couldn’t be without pursuing meaning," Zosia denied.

"What if it becomes so broad that Father God is also a trivial existence?" Li Ang said.

Zosia furrowed his brow, wanting to refute but kept silent due to reason, appearing more curious about what Li Ang would say.

A curiosity about things might be the unique inner attunement path of Zosia Shaher.

After hearing about the Starry Beast, Li Ang realized that beyond Nebis is still a space as vast as the universe. The dimension of "Beyond the Star Dome" in the current era was formed for some reasons after the Ancient Era.

If one considers the "infinite similarity" theory explaining parallel worlds, this is hard to say, as it might be in a universe with other planets alongside Earth. Magic Power and Extraordinary Ability could be explained as unique Laws beyond the observable universe.

However, these are not what he intends to discuss with Zosia; he merely expanded this speculation of Nebis being within the cosmos, to explain what the universe and infinity are...

On the infinite scale, a change such as the birth of galaxies is just a common result of the collision of cosmic Energy and matter. Explosive Power forms endless stars, and worlds above stars rarely manage to give birth to life.

On the cosmic scale, life is so tiny it’s barely detectable, even if life might be an extremely rare occurrence, it remains insignificant. Any small disturbance on the cosmic scale might annihilate the world wherein life exists.

"...from this angle, life can even be considered meaningless."

"The knowledge we were born with was given by Father God; indeed, as you said, the starry sky we haven’t recognized precisely presents such a vista. This explains why among us, those who ascend to the starry sky multiple times never have the desire to delve deep into it."

"So you’re saying our lives are just a whim of Father God, even this world; so our existence doesn’t hold special meaning?"

"I think from the perspective of birth it is like that. I don’t believe any race is naturally superior to another."

"Were it not for encountering mortals mastering Spirit Casting Art, I could immediately refute," Zosia said.

While describing the cosmic panorama, Zosia showed no trepidation or anger; he could accept what Li Ang said, even though Li Ang hadn’t proven it.

And in his eyes, there seemed to be inexplicable light flashing several times, as if Li Ang’s narratives struck his chord—thoughts he pondered several times but couldn’t express or receive a response to.

"Is this the conclusion?" Zosia continued to ask.

"It’s not necessarily so; I just mentioned, it depends on how you view things."

"What’s your perspective, mortal?"

"My thought is entirely the opposite."

Li Ang smiled: "When I was younger, or perhaps, all mortals have some period when they ponder similar questions like why we are alive, and then feel lost, not knowing what the meaning of moving forward is.
