Chapter 224

Dr. Ratio: "... lthough I don't want to admit it."

Dr. Ratio: "But Nihility is like the opposite side of the universe."

Dr. Ratio: "Although it cannot be glimpsed on weekdays, its shadow has always been silently looming over the entire universe."

Dr. Ratio: "And when the entire universe is shrouded in the shadow of Nihility, the meaning of the universe will cease to exist."

Miss Qingque: "Doesn't this indirectly mean that everything we do now has no meaning?"

Miss Qingque: "After all, the universe will head towards Nihility sooner or later..."

Stelle: "No, compared to the explanation that the universe will eventually head towards Nihility."

Stelle: "I think Acheron's words are saying that people will eventually die."

Stelle: "Sooner or later, the people we met on the journey, best friends, and even family... will leave us."

Stelle: "And we ourselves will have such a day."

Stelle: "If, before we step onto the journey, or our own life, we knew this predetermined ending that seems meaningless."

Stelle: "Would you feel fear?"

March 7th: "I think this question is easy to answer."

March 7th: "Would you give up living because you are destined to die of old age?"

Lumine: "Survival is a human instinct."

Lumine: "Even if you know your lifespan has an end."

Lumine: "But before you truly reach the end of your life, almost no one will actively give up living, right?"

Paimon: "Yeah, as long as it's not someone who is discouraged and can't think straight."

Paimon: "Then they definitely won't seek death on purpose!"

Himeko: "From the perspective of Nihility, everything that happens in this universe, and even the universe itself, has no meaning of existence."

Himeko: "But for us intelligent life, even a short life can be called meaningful."

Stelle: "Meaning is something you give yourself."

Stelle: "As long as I think my life is meaningful, that's something even Nihility cannot deny!"

Guinaifen: "I understand!"

Guinaifen: "This is the 'I think, therefore it is' method!"

Guinaifen: "I think life is meaningful, so it is meaningful!"

Firefly: "No one can deny the meaning of our existence, although we may be very ordinary on the scale of the universe, very insignificant, as small as dust."

Firefly: "But Nihility cannot deny our existence, and Order cannot deprive us of the right to live in reality!"

Miss Sushang: "Miss Firefly is so right!"

Miss Sushang: "Although I don't have much culture, I also know that my life should be decided by myself!"

Miss Sushang: "Instead of handing it over to the so-called sweet dream of Order!"

The video continues.

【I will trailblaze forward without hesitation.】

Stelle's answer is as firm as ever.

【I am very happy.】

【The answer is not important, what's important is that you have made a decision.】

【Listen, touch, think, and from this you will gain feelings.】

【Cherish it, by feelings, we are able to exist.】

【This is also the only answer humans can give in front of Nihility.】

【If Nihility is the most primitive fear and trembling of life, any lofty belief seems insignificant under its huge shadow...】

【Then behind this shadow, there must also exist the most intense light source in the world.】

【Just like every life heading towards death is growing enthusiastically, towards the end of Nihility...】

【We chase that initial light.】

Nahida: "Every life heading towards death is growing enthusiastically towards the end of Nihility..."

Nahida: "Yes, living beings are born to move towards the end of death irreversibly."

Nahida: "But we are still full of hope for life."

Zhongli: "Not fearing the abyss of Nihility ahead, still actively looking forward, creating more memories in a limited life..."

Zhongli: "Isn't this a meaning of human existence?"

Fu Xuan: "Things will develop in the opposite direction when they reach the extreme; Yang will decline when it reaches the extreme."

Fu Xuan: "The world contains the principles of Yin and Yang, everything has two sides."

Fu Xuan: "And behind the extreme Nihility, what is hidden is the extreme existence!"

Acheron: "So, I believe that behind this deep, endless black sun, there must be the most brilliant light in the world!"

Acheron: "That is the light called existence, the light of meaning, the meaning of the universe's initial birth!"

Dr. Ratio: "Regarding whether there is an opposite side behind Nihility."

Dr. Ratio: "This is really a profound topic."

Dr. Ratio: "If you want to study this, the papers could fill hundreds of galaxies."

Stelle: "I suddenly have a question."

Stelle: "If Nihility denies the meaning of all things' existence."

Stelle: "Then why does Nihility itself exist?"

Stelle: "What is the meaning of its existence?"

March 7th: "Ah this..."

March 7th: "Oh no... your few short sentences are making my brain crash!"

March 7th: "Yeah, what is the meaning of Nihility's existence??"

Herta: "The meaning of Nihility's existence?"

Herta: "Good question!"

Herta: "Very well asked, don't ask again next time."

Aventurine: "Hehe, exploring such brain-burning questions, besides wasting our precious time, is simply meaningless."

Black Swan: "Being too obsessed with this question will make you fall into the abyss of Nihility~"

Black Swan: "For the sake of everyone's mental health, I advise everyone not to think too much about this question."

Silver Wolf: "Stelle, being able to ask this question, you really are a little smarty-pants..."

The video continues.

After Acheron finishes speaking,

the scene continues to turn into her memory.

【Being in Nihility, yet having to watch over people leaving Nihility...】

【What an absurd and meaningless mission.】

Tiernan's phantom looks at Acheron,

unable to help but sigh.

【But it must be completed by someone.】

【As for the meaning you speak of...】

【Even without it, haven't I walked to this day?】

Stelle: "Jumped to this scene again."

Stelle: "So Senior Tiernan and Acheron's farewell isn't over yet?"

Miss Qingque: "Miss Acheron's words made me suddenly enlightened!"

Miss Qingque: "Yeah, when people live, do they have to find some meaning?"

Miss Qingque: "Without this thing, can't they still live?"

Sunday: "Based on human nature, some people feel like walking corpses after losing their self-worth."

Sunday: "These people are still alive from a physiological perspective, but they think they are already dead."

Ruan Mei: "From a biological perspective, alive is alive, dead is dead."

Ruan Mei: "As long as biological cell activity is still there, even if they think they are dead, it's just self-deception."

Paimon: "I feel like this also depends on the person."
