    There was a man and woman in the world who loved each other. Thanatos took away the soul of a seriously ill woman. When she died, the undead of the woman was full of grief, and the man was guarding the body of the woman. Cupid, the god of love, bumped into it, and Cupid felt that the god of death was ruthless at that time.

    But Cupid doesn't know what happened next. The woman enters the Elysee Paradise after her death, and falls in love with another undead after a few years of missing her lover on earth. The man has been suffering in the world for a few years, and he also spends his life with a beautiful girl as husband and wife. Later, the man and his wife came to the Elysee Paradise together, and met the woman they once loved and her new husband, who happened to be neighbors, but neither of them recognized each other.

    The only one who remembers that they once fell in love was Thanatos.

    There are many more such examples in Elysee Paradise.

    The world is impermanent, everything in the world will change and disappear, this is the eternal truth. Nothing lasts forever, not life, not love. People are always quick to accept and start a new life.

    This is actually quite good, and it's not good to dwell on the pain of the past. Just being a god who lives forever and sees everything, Thanatos can't help but feel tired and melancholy.

    At first glance, Thanatos just sighed at the modern facilities in the underworld, and ancient ghosts can also learn to use modern products. But Yama, as Thanatos's "confidant", understood more than just the surface meaning.

    Yan Luo said: "Humans are creatures that are very adaptable to new environments. No matter how much you feel reluctant to give up when you graduate from high school, you will have a group of new friends when you get to college. After work, the social circle will change again. I forgot the names of my high school classmates. What I once thought would be unforgettable and unforgettable, were finally forgotten in the timeless years."

    "Similarly, mortals have a lot of nostalgia for the world when they die, but as time goes by, they will gradually get used to the days in the underworld, and they will no longer miss their past lives frequently. There is no need for Meng Po soup, and they will no longer be able to remember their past."

    "They didn't die, they just completed the graduation ceremony of their lives."

    Yama looked at Thanatos: "And you are the teacher who awarded them the diploma."

    Some ghosts died unexpectedly after only ten years in the world, but they lived in ghost towns for thousands of years. For them, the underworld is where they belong.

    Death also means new life.

    Death is the graduation of life, and death is issuing graduation certificates.

    Thanatos heard this for the first time.

    But that statement can make him a lot easier.

    "Zeus ordered me to kill Sisyphus." Thanatos said suddenly.

    The topic turned unexpectedly, and Yan Luo was a little surprised, but he still took the attitude of listening.

    Unexpectedly, this conversation has a tendency to make Little Death open his heart. Yama had heard the story of Sisyphus from Poseidon, but now he wanted to hear the little Reaper tell it himself.

    "Zeus kidnapped the daughter of the river god, and Sisyphus told the river god the whereabouts of the daughter of the river god, so he angered Zeus, so he ordered me to take away the soul of Sisyphus." Thanatos said in one breath. A long sentence, after a long pause, the voice dropped.

    "I think Sisyphus was right and didn't kill him."

    "Sisyphus used a trick to lock me up. I saw through his plan at a glance, but I was still locked by him." Thanatos whispered, "I did it on purpose."

    Yan Luo had guessed it long ago, and he replied, "Because you don't want to see another death in the world, you think you are the culprit, so take this opportunity to be captured voluntarily."

    Thanatos turned to look at Yama. He remembered Bai Wuchang's sentence "If there is anyone in the world who can empathize with you the most, it is not us, but His Highness the King of Hell".

    He suddenly felt it.

    "Yes," Thanatos admitted. "I've been locked up for ten years. I could break the chains at any time, but I didn't."

    "In the beginning, people found out they wouldn't die, everyone was happy, and I thought, the world is really beautiful without me."

    "Later, more and more human beings were born. Newborns were born every day, but no one died. Food, water and land became insufficient, and people began to compete for limited resources, killing people and even starting wars. Killing more people. But I am not here, those who are mortally wounded will not die, nor can they be cured, and live in pain every day." Thanatos spoke slowly, not wanting to remember what it was like Human purgatory.

    "...So, I broke free from the chains and took away those souls."

    It is rumored in the Greek gods that Zeus sent Ares to rescue Thanatos. In fact, when Ares arrived, Thanatos had already broken the chain and left.

    Ares, unwilling to give up the opportunity to establish merit, did not explain that Thanatos was not actually saved by him. Anyway, Thanatos is taciturn and will not jump out to explain.

    "I went back to the underworld to plead guilty to His Majesty Pluto. He said that I was not to blame for being locked up for ten years, but Zeus and Sisyphus. I want to say no, I deliberately went on strike, and it was my fault to cause such consequences, but His Majesty Pluto should be blamed. Don't let me say it."

    "I understand that His Majesty Pluto knew I was doing it on purpose, but he shielded me."

    Yama could know Thanatos's heart knot in a short period of time, how could Hades not know Thanatos's fear. But Hades is not good at psychological counseling. He indulged Thanatos to strike for ten years, told Thanatos the meaning of death with facts, and finally did not blame him.

    Thanatos blamed himself for a long time.

    "You are right, the world is a school, there are always new students coming, and there are always people graduating. If you don't graduate, the school will not be able to accept so many students, and the whole school will collapse." Thanatos's voice became louder. lighter.

    "Parting is inevitable and necessary, but I am always reluctant to face parting... I am afraid to face it."

    Perhaps it was because he was too sad about what happened to Yama, and Thanatos stopped hiding his thoughts and said so much without knowing it. Perhaps he also wanted to comfort Yama.
