Chapter 1385: Chapter 228: Frozen Fish Tutor and the Fae Emperor
Two fae and two humans sat at the table, with Frozen Fish as the host, earnestly saying to Ian: “Putting aside miscellaneous matters, do you truly want to completely rebirth as a fae?”
“I do want to. But what does this ‘completely’ an?”
Ian clasped his hands and placed them on the table, saying to Frozen Fish: “Are you saying there’s an incomplete thod of rebirth?”
“Of course.” Frozen Fish solemnly swayed his tail: “In reality, humans basically cannot beco true fae.”
“Ian, fae are a life form completely different from humans, their thinking patterns and logic are also distinct from humans. You humans are very arrogant, very self-centered, with many prejudices and inherent perceptions, and are very good at self-deception.”
“Just like how you felt surprised and amused by my na and ntality, such a ntality is a thinking pattern unique to humans.”
“Of course, precisely because of this, humans can always retain their self without getting lost, can create obsessions that transcend themselves, and can continue civilization to this day, constantly self-elevating.”
“I know, you didn’t truly laugh at , you were just surprised by my uniqueness, and delighted by the expansion of your knowledge, so I acknowledge Hua’an and Gansong’s words, confirming you indeed have a ‘nearly fae-like’ thinking pattern.”
“But this is still not fae.”
With this said, Frozen Fish’s voice beca solemn at this mont, a solemnity and gravity impossible for ordinary fae: “Because fae are not afraid of death.”
Ian was slightly taken aback.
“Not afraid of death?” He beca interested: “What does this an?”
“Literal aning.” Frozen Fish said calmly: “The world thinks fae are an immortal race, so since ancient tis, strong individuals have tried to rebirth as a fae to extend their lifespan, among which, Fifth Energy Level strong individuals are not few.”
“But they all failed… because they fear death. They want to live. So, they simply cannot achieve the first step.”
“Which is to destroy oneself, and with one’s fragnts, reconstruct oneself as a brand new fae.”
“Oh…”
Ian squinted his eyes, nodding slightly, indicating he understood: “Rebirth in Death, so that’s how it is, indeed.”
Upon careful thought, it is true.
If it were just the Chosen Ones who could beco fae, then with so many Chosen Ones on Terra Continent, why have none beco fae?
To say nothing else, there are quite a few Chosen Ones at the Fifth Energy Level, having favor with fae, several Monarchs closely connected to Falling Star City, why have these strong individuals not pleaded with the fae to transform them into immortal fae bodies?
The answer is, of course, impossible to achieve.
To beco a fae, one must abandon the body, shatter the soul, and rebirth a brand new soul according to fae logic… in other words, this is using one’s human soul as an obsession to catalyze the ergence of a new fae.
Rebirth in Death. Like Worm Nest devouring and transforming sentient beings, Embrace Light using Sacred Artifact to transform Clerics, fae’s rebirth is truly dying and then becoming fae in the next life.
Those who did so have completely transford into fae, and those who cannot accept this kind of suicide also cannot beco fae.
The answer is just so simple.
“Only the human Chosen Ones, the ‘Child’, can transform into fae, which is also the origin of the fae ‘tempsychosis Child’ ‘Swap Child’ legend, but all these are with consent.”
Frozen Fish said calmly: “Prophet, you’re a Prophet, perhaps you saw a scene of your success in the future, but I still want to ask, have you truly prepared to beco a fae? Have you decided to abandon your human identity?”
“No rush to answer, we fae absolutely won’t force humans to make a choice.”
With that said, Frozen Fish spoke no more, only released his breath.
And as his will spread, a formless cold current surged.
In an instant, Ian felt as if he were by the northern coast, witnessing a massive wave surge.
In torrents, the frozen tide roared against cliffs and beaches, bone-chilling sea wind mixed with ice sand descending from the skies, all things were engulfed in this abnormal cold current, plunged into desolate stillness.
Bodies. Many bodies. Fish, sea birds, dolphins, jellyfish, great white sharks, whales… many sea beast bodies piled on the beach, they died before reaching land, and in the distance, the ice sea triggered by ‘natural calamity’ was gradually spreading.
Everything was frozen, any life struggling to survive would not escape, yet in a surging wave, a small fish desperately tried to dive into the sea’s depths, seeing the bodies of its kind on the shore, seeing those predators, predators’ predators, and the bodies of behemoths in the sea. It absolutely wouldn’t allow itself to die like that.
It fought vigorously, desperately.
But it was too small, lacking strength, so with the waves beating, it failed to dive, eventually sealed by the frosty calamity, like an insect trapped in amber.
The life’s last struggle, unceasing spark, this will has not ended even in death, it persisted, surged, finally amidst swirling frost, coalesced into an intent.
This is Frozen Fish… Frozen Fish JiShuang.
