Chapter 500: Mortal Body
This was all of Shirley’s memories passed on to Adele. Although it was a long story, Adele digested and understood it instantly. The reason for the girl’s silence was entirely because...
“I feel like a big moth!”
“...A strange analogy. I thought you would say a monarch butterfly.” Their commonality was that they both had the experience of “breaking out of a cocoon,” corresponding to the famous idiom “breaking out of the cocoon to become a butterfly.”
What Adele was referring to should be that her body actually broke out of Shirley’s... remains. This Shirley was really a pervert! Was this something a human could think of!?
But in reality, Shirley was also helpless. Only a divine body could give birth to another divine body. Shirley didn’t want to wait for an ethereal future. She wanted to grasp her own fate, so she chose this method to attract Adele’s soul to transmigrate across worlds.
Of course, this didn’t mean that Shirley was Adele’s mother. It could only be said that the relationship was significant, but as for what kind of relationship it was... Adele felt that the least strange one was “sisters.”
So she and Shirley were “sisters,” and she was also “sisters” with that girl who possessed another soul fragment of the Creation God, whom the Lord of Heaven, Yawei, traveled across countless seas of stars and different worlds to find again.
Shirley was born the earliest, so she was the eldest sister. And the Lord of Heaven, Yawei, chose to abandon this world and go to find another girl, which proved that she must have received some information, confirming the other party’s existence, just not knowing where, so she needed to constantly break through the barriers between worlds to search.
So the other girl should be the second elder sister. Then Adele was the third... the youngest sister? Probably reading the random thoughts in Adele’s mind, Shirley said, “Although you appeared the latest and for the shortest time,”
“But in you, there is a hidden instinctive power that we cannot reach.”
“In the world where your soul was born through reincarnation, there is a personality structure theory proposed by a psychologist. After reading your memories, I deeply agree with it.”
“...!?” Adele’s face instantly turned red, and the shame in her eyes was evident.
“Who allowed you to read my memories!”
“You’re too familiar, aren’t you!” If it was just being able to read what was currently in her mind, Adele’s acceptance level was quite high, after all, Xiao Ai had this ability. But unexpectedly, this Shirley... could even read her past memories!
Wouldn’t that mean... she even knew that she had never been in love in that world!? Adele was the harem king of this era, didn’t she want face!
“...But I also shared my memories with you, including those bitter and dark ones.” Shirley’s response made Adele speechless. It seemed... she was right. Compared with the blood and tears in Shirley’s memories, the fact that she had never been in love and was still a virgin... was nothing at all.
Now, the two were standing on the same ground again and could have a normal conversation. “The psychologist you want to talk about... couldn’t it be the famous ‘Freud’?”
It could be said that the only two psychologists known to the entire country were Pavlov, the guy who liked to train dogs, and Freud.
He proposed the famous theory of mental structure, which stated that a complete personality structure should consist of three parts: the id, ego, and superego. It seemed that they had talked about this before, but now, it could be simply explained.
Simply put, the id was synonymous with desire, it was human instinct, the source of all driving forces. The superego was the controller in the personality structure, restricting human desires and behaviors according to moral principles. The ego operated between the “id” and the “superego.” It regulated the id on the one hand and was restricted by the superego on the other.
Shirley nodded. “Precisely. Since you understand, then I’ll make it short.”
“Although there are some slight differences, but directly using It theory for comparison, there are still some merits.”
“Because in the soul of the Creation God, there are indeed three distinct parts.”
“They can be called ‘Nature,’ ‘Balance,’ and ‘Heaven’s Way.'”
“And because humans are intelligent beings created by the Creation God in Its own image,”
“Then it also means that these three indispensable parts also exist in humans.”
“That is, the ‘id, ego, and superego’ that Freud talked about.”
“Nature is the ‘id,’ the source of all desires, the source of all power.”
“Balance is the ‘ego,’ the part that balances the id and the superego.”
“Heaven’s Way is the ‘superego,’ superior to and above all else, the supreme morality that can restrain nature.”
In order for Adele to understand, Shirley had to explain it in detail. As for the passage of time, time would slow down in dreams. Moreover, Adele couldn’t help with the divine war outside now, so she might as well let her fully comprehend and realize her importance.
“You are nature itself, the Creation [N O V E L I G H T] God’s initial innocent heart, possessing the source of power to create everything. Unfortunately, you haven’t awakened your ego yet, let alone discovered that source.”
“The mysterious girl Yawei found is Heaven’s Way, the supreme morality that the Creation God uses to restrain nature.”
“And I am ‘Balance,’ what a ridiculous identity...” Shirley seemed to have something else to say, but Adele was more concerned about the fact that in terms of attributes, she seemed to be completely countered by the “new daughter” that Yawei found!!
“T-Then how can we defeat her... defeat the Lord of Heaven?”
“This is both simple and difficult.”
“It’s simple because now my soul and your soul are one. Nature and Balance are together, and the only thing missing is Heaven’s Way.”
“The three soul fragments of the Creation God will merge into one and give birth to a new Creation God.”
“It’s just that this new god... whether it’s you or her, is still unknown.”
“My power is too weak, and can only be assimilated by one of you. This is the fate I should accept as a loser.”
“It’s also the sin I should atone for.” Shirley’s tone was bitter, her eyes filled with frustration.
Hearing this, Adele swayed, and also smiled wryly and pessimistically, “Then it’s over. Even you said that I’m completely countered by her!”
“And I can’t count on you...”
“Who else could be left in the end but her!” Adele was right, but also wrong, because Shirley left her with a last glimmer of hope, which was also her final arrangement with Lucifer.
“According to my observation, you have now lost your magic circuits, cannot use magic power, and have become like an ordinary person, right?”
“...” Adele had a “why do you have to rub salt in my wounds” expression. She was still feeling depressed about this.
“That’s your only chance to win unexpectedly.”
“If you awaken the power of your source, not to mention ascending to godhood in one step, even surpassing the Lord of Heaven is not impossible, provided that the Lord of Heaven doesn’t obtain the authority of this world first.”
Adele perked up her ears and listened carefully, thinking that wasn’t this the most classic protagonist routine! When encountering an invincible final BOSS, just awaken the power of the past life to turn the tables.
Whether it was clichéd or not, Adele wouldn’t miss any chance to cheat. Was this truly worthy of being the embodiment of “natural desire”...
“But even if you defeat the Lord of Heaven, your final fate will only be devoured by ‘Heaven’s Way,’ completely losing your original consciousness and soul.”
“Ask yourself, Adele, do you want to see such a future?”
Adele subconsciously wanted to nod when she first heard that she could defeat the Lord of Heaven, but then she realized that the price of cheating was to be completely suppressed by “Heaven’s Way,” to the point where even her soul would cease to exist, and her consciousness would also disappear.
The girl immediately shook her head like a rattle! “No, no, no... No!!”
“I don’t want that kind of thing!” If her consciousness and soul disappeared, what would happen to the ones she loved! Ugh, if Adele died, Celeste, Hermione, Sharon, Tang Linlang, Dorothy, Edith, Seraph, Kaiser, Wofoo, First Snow, Xiao Ai... they would all be heartbroken! And they would definitely live as widows for her!
Although it was still unknown whether the world would still exist at that time, because that Heaven’s Way girl, who was almost identical to Adele except for her silver-white hair, would have the power of the Creation God after devouring the souls of Adele and Shirley. When she mastered the authority of the world, she could arbitrarily manipulate the fate and life and death of any living being on the planet, and even destroy it and recreate a new world according to her wishes if she didn’t like this world.
So Adele might be the last hope of all mankind, all intelligent beings existing in this world, and even the entire world. As long as she could defeat that girl. And the only way for Adele to find a glimmer of hope in this desperate situation was to shed her divine body and become a mortal.
Only in this way could she escape the fate of being absolutely crushed by Heaven’s Way because the Creation God always believed that Its creation would one day surpass It. However, this also meant that Adele could only abandon the readily available power, unable to inherit or use it, facing God with a fragile mortal body.
