Chapter 509

Dr. Ratio: "..... Although I am reluctant to admit it."

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

Dr. Ratio: "Although it cannot be glimpsed on ordinary days, its shadow has always been silently shrouding the entire universe."

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

Miss Qingque: "Isn't this just another way of saying that everything we are doing now is completely meaningless?"

Miss Qingque: "After all, sooner or later the universe will step into Nihility....."

Stelle: "No, compared to the explanation that the universe will eventually step into Nihility."

Stelle: "I feel more that what Sister Quan said is that all people must die in the end."

Stelle: "Sooner or later, the people we meet and befriend by fate during our journey, our close friends, and even our family.... will all leave us."

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

Stelle: "If, before we set out on our journey, or rather our own life, we already knew this seemingly meaningless predetermined ending."

Stelle: "Would you then feel afraid?"

March 7th: "This question, I, this young lady, feel is very easy to answer."

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

Ying: "The desire to survive is human instinct."

Ying: "Even knowing that one's own lifespan has an end."

Ying: "But before one's lifespan truly runs out, almost no one would voluntarily give up on living, right?"

Paimon: "Right, as long as they're not someone who suffered a blow and can't think it through."

Paimon: "Then they definitely wouldn't deliberately seek to end their own life!"

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

Himeko: "But for us intelligent beings, even if it is only a brief life, it can still be called meaningful."

Stelle: "The thing called meaning has always been something we赋予 ourselves."

Stelle: "As long as I feel my own life is meaningful, then even Nihility cannot deny it!"

Guinaifen: "I get it!"

Guinaifen: "This is my 'I-think-so' Great Law!"

Guinaifen: "I think my life is meaningful, then it is meaningful!"

Firefly: "No one can否决 the meaning of our existence, although by the scale of the universe we may be very ordinary, very insignificant, as tiny as specks of dust."

Firefly: "But Nihility cannot否决 our existence, and Order cannot strip us of our right to live in reality!"

Miss Sushang: "Miss Firefly is absolutely right!"

Miss Sushang: "Although I don't have much great learning, I also know that one's own life must be decided by oneself!"

Miss Sushang: "And not handed over to the so-called beautiful dream of Order!"

【I will press forward without looking back.】

Stelle's answer was as resolute as always.

【I am very glad.】

【The answer is not important; what matters is that you have already made your decision.】

【Listen, touch, think — through these you will obtain feeling.】

【Cherish it; through feeling, we are able to exist.】

【This is also the only answer humanity can give in the face of Nihility.】

【If Nihility is life's most primal fear and trembling, and any lofty belief appears insignificant beneath its vast shadow........】

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

【Just as every life marching toward death is growing passionately, toward the end of Nihility........】

【We chase that original light.】

Nahida: "Every life marching toward death is growing passionately toward the end of Nihility..."

Nahida: "Yes, living beings are born to move irreversibly toward the final outcome of death."

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

Zhong Li: "Not fearing because what lies ahead is the abyss of Nihility, still looking forward positively, and within a limited life, creating more memories......"

Zhong Li: "Is this not also a kind of meaning of human existence?"

Diviner Fu Xuan: "Things turn into their opposites when they reach the extreme; yang at its extreme must decline."

Diviner Fu Xuan: "The world contains the ultimate principle of yin and yang; everything has its two-sided nature."

Diviner Fu Xuan: "And behind the ultimate Nihility, what is hidden is the ultimate Existence!"

Huang Quan: "Therefore, I am convinced that behind this profound, endless pitch-black great sun, there must be the most resplendent light in the world!"

Huang Quan: "That is the light named Existence, the light of Meaning, the meaning of this universe's original birth!"

Dr. Ratio: "Regarding whether behind Nihility there exists a side completely opposite to it."

Dr. Ratio: "This truly is a profound subject."

Dr. Ratio: "If one were to research this, the papers alone might铺满 hundreds of galaxies."

Stelle: "I suddenly have a question."

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

Stelle: "Then for what reason does Nihility itself exist?"

Stelle: "And what meaning does its existence have?"

March 7: "Ah, this...."

March 7: "Oh no.... Your few short sentences have crashed my brain!"

March 7: "Yes, what is the point of Void's existence??"

Herta: "The point of Void's existence?"

Herta: "Good question!"

Herta: "Well asked—don't ask it again."

Serval: "Heh, probing such brain-burning questions is pointless—it only wastes our precious time."

Black Swan: "Too much obsession with this question might drag you into the abyss of Void~"

Black Swan: "For everyone's mental health, I advise you all not to dwell on it too much."

Silver Wolf: "Stelle, to even ask this question—you really are a clever little thing......"

The video continues.

As Huang Quan finished speaking,

the scene shifted again into her memories.

【Though surrounded by Void, one must watch over people leaving Void........】

【What a absurd, meaningless mission.】

Tieernan's phantom gazed at Huang Quan,

unable to suppress a sigh.

【But someone must carry it out.】

【As for the meaning you speak of....】

【Even without it, didn't I still reach today?】

Stelle: "It jumped back to this scene again."

Stelle: "So Tieernan's farewell to Miss Huang hasn't ended yet?"

Miss Qingque: "Miss Huang Quan's words have opened my eyes!"

Miss Qingque: "Indeed, must one find meaning just to live?"

Miss Qingque: "Can't one live just fine without it?"

Sunday: "Based on human nature, some people, after losing their sense of self-worth, feel as if they're walking corpses."

Sunday: "These individuals are still alive physiologically, yet they believe themselves dead."

Miss Ruan Mei: "From a biological standpoint, to live is to live, and to die is to die."

Miss Ruan Mei: "As long as biological cells remain active, even if they believe themselves dead, it's merely self-deception."

Paimon: "This feeling also varies from person to person."
