    ¡°Out of their ignorance, they tried to create a static and constant world, where all things live forever and are immortal.¡± ¡°But they overestimated their abilities, and the new world they created did not fully comply with their will.  , but are in constant change, with all kinds of uncertainties. ""This dangerous uncertainty strongly conflicts with their constant nature, and they become very weak and thus eliminated.  Trapped in this limited world and unable to escape, they gradually weakened and had to adjust their forms of existence. Some transformed into the bones of the world, while others used reproduction to consolidate their infinite lives before the end.  "Zero continues." "When the first of them was forced to choose to use reproduction to preserve themselves, the concept of life and death was formally established. Then, as the method of reproduction became popular among them, this abstraction was established.  The concept gradually solidified into its own form and sublimated into a member of the Holy Spirit - he is the so-called god of reincarnation, Akai. "" Ms. Decay stopped explaining to allow me to fully digest what I had just learned.  content.  The content contained many obscure sentences, but I could barely understand the gist of it.  The "us" in Lady Decay's words should refer to the Daedra; and "them" must refer to the Andras who created the world of Nirn.  I learned from Musk before that in the ancient elven language, Andra means "our ancestors" and Deidra means "not our ancestors".  The Andras - the Holy Spirits - created the world of Nirn, but this world trapped them like a cage. Trapped in a cocoon and unable to escape, they had to find ways to adapt to the environment in the cage in order to continue to survive.  In other words, the current humans (including the Redguards who migrated from another continent), as well as the elves, or other intelligent creatures that have not been seen before, are essentially those trapped on the planet Nirn and cannot  Descendants of the departed Andras.  This secret sounds far beyond my common sense, but I have no ability to falsify it.  What's more, the person who recounted them was a Daedra king older than Nirn. I wasn't even qualified to doubt it, so I could only choose to accept it.  After digesting it, I continued to ask Ms. Decay for advice from the last part.  "Dear Ms. Decay, what is the reason why you hate Akai? It's just a disagreement about the disposal of the corpse, right?" "That's just the most superficial appearance. Listen carefully, I will tell you to get closer.  The essential answer." "I'm all ears." Now I just need to take out a blank piece of paper to take notes.  "Akai, his reincarnation of life and death is a complete lie. And I will expose this lie and establish a true cycle of life and death." Ms. Decay bluntly denied the existence of Akai, the god of reincarnation.  She sounds confident in her ideas.  "Lies? What do you mean?" "Do you think the concept of life and death exists for the soul?" After stopping to explain tirelessly, Ms. Decay suddenly asked me a question.  soul?  life and death?  In my knowledge system, my understanding of the soul is still very shallow, and I do not have enough initial conditions to complete a theoretical derivation.  But this doesn't mean that I don't have an intuitive feeling about the soul.  In the western outpost of Xueman, I once killed a dragon with my own hands and absorbed its soul.  I have experienced it personally and clearly remember that as a fragment of Akatosh, the dragon's soul is immortal and no one can completely erase it in the true sense.  Although another dragon or dragonborn can accept this soul that has escaped from the container as part of itself, essentially, there is no loss in the total amount of the soul.  "You mean, the real life and death is for the body and has nothing to do with the soul?" "Yes, you are very enlightened." Ms. Decay made a sound of approval and continued, "In order to establish a real cycle, a kind of  Brand new creatures are created by me. They are small, humble, and underappreciated, but they can make everything that should be decayed return to dust. Only from decay can new life be born  ¡­A flash of inspiration came to my mind, and I immediately realized, isn¡¯t this the decomposer in the ecosystem?  Decomposers such as bacteria, fungi, and protists completely decompose the bodies of dead animals and plants, allowing the organic matter contained therein to be released back into nature and participate in the reconstruction of new life.  If there are no decomposers in the ecosystem, the material cycle will be terminated, and the ecosystem that has lost its foundation will completely collapse.  When I thought of this, my thoughts suddenly became clear.Be cheerful.  If all life is immortal, then there is no need for decomposers to exist in this world.  But in fact, the Holy Spirits failed to create a static and constant world as they wanted, and everything was messed up.  "So, this is why you created these creatures, to make up for the shortcomings of this world?" Ms. Decay did not waste any time in affirming my inquiry, and she did not raise any objections. It seemed that she acquiesced to my statement.  .  Following this line of thought, the ideological conflict between Akai and the Decaying Lady no longer seems confusing: due to the limitations of the Holy Spirit, Akai adheres to the philosophy of the "Immortality Sect", so his followers will make corpses into mummies for long-term preservation.  while Lady Decay has seen through the flaws of this world, adhering to the philosophy of the "Decay Sect", and her followers and creations are committed to maintaining the healthy cycle of the ecosystem.  Ms. Decay¡¯s cleansing was so successful that I almost fell in love with her - but what I¡¯d seen before still left me feeling grudged.  "So eating corpses is a very 'decent' behavior in your eyes, because it is imitating your creations and paying tribute to your ideas through actions?" "Haha, I know what you are thinking. Altar  The few mortals above don¡¯t understand my philosophy at all. If they think they can gain my favor and protection by eating corpses, they are totally wrong.¡± I nodded thoughtfully, ¡°Then.  "Dear Ms. Decay, what is the reason why you have given me your favor and protection?" "Because you are a dragonborn." Ms. Decay revealed my identity.  "Uhhow did you know this identity? As far as I know, I did not absorb the soul of a giant dragon under your eyes." "We will also have private contacts. Your identity is very important to me.  "There is no secret at all." "Well, what does the identity of the Dragonborn mean to you?" "The dragon is the fragment of Akka, the closest thing to immortality in the world.  He has the ability to change the world, but he is helpless with the fragments of Aka." Ms. Decay paused and continued to me in a hopeful tone, "Only the Dragonborn can complete this important task." "Aka?  Depending on the context, and related to dragons, this may be another name for Akatosh.  I roughly understand what Ms. Decay means. In this world, it is impossible for dragons to kill each other. Only dragonborn can completely eliminate the immortal dragons - I think Ms. Decay would be very happy to see this situation.  "As you wish."  "Haha," after the dust settled, Ms. Decay let out a happy laugh and sighed with emotion, "After many years, finally a voter who can fully understand my intentions has appeared." I am right.  This result is also satisfactory.  Being able to serve as the chosen one of another Daedra king has only advantages and no disadvantages.  As for what the specific benefits will be "Dear Lady Decay, as your elect, what kind of token will I be given?" "That woman is wearing a ring, take it off. Next I will give me  The divine power is attached to it. "According to Lady Decay's request, I took off a silver ring from the businesswoman on the altar and put it on my left index finger.  Immediately afterwards, a black mist spread out from the altar and rushed towards the ring, turning the color of the ring into pure black.  "What is the use of this ring?" "When you wear it, you are blessed by me. The ring can give you unique abilities. When you perform actions that please me, you will gain strength.  ¡± To please?  Does Lady Decay mean cannibalism?  Several black lines appeared on my forehead. I tried to confirm with Ms. Decay, "Does the carcass of animals count?" "Haha, according to you, aren't the mortals in the world pleasing me all the time? My gift.  How can it be so easy to get? It seems that you understand what I mean, but you seem to be unwilling to do it." "I'm sorry I really can't do this. Can I change it to another token?" "That's fine.  Then I¡¯ll give you another one.¡± Still, a black mist rose from the altar and wrapped my left index finger.  After a while, the fog dissipated, and I took a closer look, only to find that the appearance of the ring had turned into a smooth, pure white, completely reversed from before.  "Then what function has this ring been given now?" I curiously asked in the direction of the altar.  "Hehe, there is an opportunity to use it right in front of me." Well, she is indeed a goddess, and she can't be anything else except hehe.Kind of laughter?  ¡ª¡ª 4E201, FROSTFALL Month 30th, the protagonist contacted the decay lady in the rotten lady's temple, and therefore became the voters of the decaying lady.  ?Another: The world view of The Elder Scrolls is too vast. The above is just the tip of the iceberg, plus some personal understandings and attachments of the author.  In addition, there are many things not mentioned in this chapter, ranging from the role played by Lork Khan to whether the elves have the custom of making mummies. The author will fill in the space at the appropriate time in the future.  (To be continued.)
