Nightmare Corrosion - #837 - Chapter 818 Eternal Life and Descendants!
What is the existence form of the Nightmare Lord?
Lu En has actually been thinking about this question for a long time, because except for when he first entered this world and was sealed by the power of the Nightmare Lord together with the Scarlet Lord, at other times, he could not find anything about the Nightmare Lord or his larvae. clues.
This is undoubtedly extremely abnormal, because this area is unmistakably a hatchery belonging to the Lord of the Starry Sky. However, the larvae that need the most nutrients are also the most vulnerable. Lu En’s journey from the real world to Skynet space has no clue at all. Can’t find it.
Of course, if this is the case, it can also be considered that the power level of the Nightmare Lord is higher than that of Lu En, so he cannot see through the opponent’s arrangement. However, what makes Lu En feel even more weird is that he was captured by the Nightmare Lord and used as a weapon. After the ancient man of nourishment fell, the final beneficiaries would be just a few ordinary people?
Several human beings in the real world reached the sky in one step, inherited the authority and power of the ancient ones, and then became dominant-level existences. This change made Lu En unable to figure it out no matter what, and it could even be said to be puzzling.
Because generally speaking, when the Nightmare Lord arranges the star hatchery, the biggest beneficiary should be the Nightmare Lord larvae. No matter what, it is not the turn of a few ordinary people, and it will last for hundreds of years. It was as if the Nightmare Lord’s purpose in capturing the Ancient Ones was for them.
So according to the inference that whoever benefits in the end is the Nightmare Lord Larvae, Lu En came to an absurd answer, that is, the Nightmare Lord Larvae = the master of Skynet space.
Of course, putting this aside, another question worthy of Lu En’s deep thought is: Nightmare Lord, do so-called larvae really exist?
From a genetic and biological perspective, the creation of a descendant of life is ultimately to pass on its life factors and occupy a dominant position in the group. Therefore, all male creatures will have a strong desire to possess females of the same kind. .
If you analyze this social habit more deeply, you will know that the reason for this instinct is because no living individual can survive in the world forever, so it is necessary to use descendants to continue its existence and make its own The life factor spreads forever.
So if we look at it from another perspective, would a living being with powerful power, even enough to maintain “immortality”, still have the need to reproduce?
Descendants are the continuation of one’s own life, but if a life is immortal, then why is it necessary to waste strength to produce one’s own descendants?
You must know that ordinary creatures need to pay a huge price to reproduce offspring, including a huge amount of time and nutrients, and will bear a certain degree of risk because of this behavior. The more powerful the existence, the more difficult it is to reproduce offspring. The price paid will be greater.
This is a truth that prevails in the universe, and the reason is very simple. If the reproductive ability of the strong is the same as that of the weak, then what space can the weak have to survive?
If existences like the Ancients or Nightmare Lords want to reproduce, more specific issues of authority will be involved. That is to say, in order to keep their offspring strong, they must actively split their authority, otherwise The offspring conceived will be extremely weak, and the act of reproducing offspring will have no value.
For a more specific situation, you can refer to the relationship between Lu En and the Scarlet Lord, because in a sense, Lu En also experienced the larval stage of the Ancient One and can be regarded as a descendant conceived by the Scarlet Lord.
The final result was that the Scarlet Lord insisted on maintaining the integrity of his authority at all costs, chasing Lu En to the point of death, and finally had to take a risk to find himself in this situation.
It is precisely because of understanding this that Lu En has always been skeptical about the Nightmare Lord’s behavior of reproducing offspring. First, he can’t find any reason to do so. Second, he doesn’t believe at all that for a person who doesn’t exist yet, The “maternal love” of descendants can transcend the desire for complete authority.
The so-called “divine nature” is the last remaining part of the self, the transcendent and rational part, after abandoning biology, sociality, and even instinct.
Of course, before meeting the Fog Lord, Lu En’s above-mentioned conjectures were originally just some groundless speculations buried deep in his heart without any supporting evidence. After all, without the right to investigate, there is no right to speak. Who knows the life form and will of the Nightmare Lord? What about thinking?
Xia Chong was incapable of saying anything, and Lu En was unable to deduce the various behaviors and purposes of the Nightmare Lord based on guesses.
It wasn’t until he obtained more detailed intelligence and information from the Fog Lord not long ago that some of the long-standing questions and puzzles in Lu En’s heart were gradually answered.
The pitter patter.
The Flame God Lord was crushed into pieces by the huge glorious palm, and completely turned into a mass of strength and authority. Lu En did not kill him, because only Skynet can decide the life and death of these Lords, but here At this time, with its fragile human will, it is impossible to control the power of fragmentation and riots.
On the contrary, under the Hand of Glory, Stike floated in the air with sharp eyes. The power of the Flame God above his head turned into strands of liquid, which quickly penetrated every pore on his body, causing his skin to instantly It became dark red and rough, covered with cracks.
“You want to turn an ordinary person into a master. Do you think you are Skynet?”
In the black hole on the side, the sealed Master of Origin saw what Lu En had done, and suddenly felt a sense of sorrow for the death of a rabbit and a fox, and couldn’t help but taunted him.
“Is this all you can see?”
Suddenly, Stike, whose whole body was already burning, turned his head, his eyes had turned into two dark blue fire cores, his tone was still calm and calm: “Of course I can’t blame you, in your eyes, I can only see When you see the existence of Skynet, you will think that all this is the power of Skynet. This is not because of ignorance, but because of incompetence.”
Incompetence means lack of ability. Of course, expecting a master who has reached the sky in one step to have the strength and will worthy of the name is a demanding thing in itself, so Lu En did not ridicule, but just calmly recounted a fact.
From this point of view, the Forgotten Lord is indeed an anomaly among the Lords, because to a certain extent, he already has the will to match the Lord’s power, so he is the first to fall.
The wind rises at the end of Qingping. On the eve of the storm, the first to die and the last to survive are often the strong among the crowd. As for the weak, they just go with the flow. In the end, they can survive by being ignorant.
