Chapter 347 – Existence
"I have replaced your blood. I have replaced your flesh. I have replaced every cell, every chain of DNA that once defined you. What now remains… is it still you?"
Noah stayed silent. Not only him. Even Virgo had no words, because the question forced them to reflect on something they were intimately familiar with, yet had never dared to probe too deeply.
The concept of existence itself. The concept of self.
Who are you?
What makes you… you?
What separates you from the billions, trillions, or even quintillions of lives scattered across the universe?
Was it bloodline? The body? Cells and flesh?
Noah and Virgo had never truly considered it. So they paused in order to think, to search for the answers.
'Will I still be myself if my DNA is rewritten? Will I still be Noah if the Elysiari bloodline I forged within me is erased?'
Noah's thoughts spun violently, circling in every direction as his mind strained for an answer.
