Stefan was stunned by the question and he was at a loss of how to answer within a short period of time.
His silence astonished the students in the entire class. They assumed that Stefan would certainly be able to answer without the slightest hesitation.
Life would cease to exist because it was just a simple question that required only common sense.
Every man would die indeed and any life would come to an end. Was this not something that everyone was aware of?
If life would not end, the earth would have already fallen apart after existing for a few billion years now.
Stefan was silent for a long while before he let out a forced chuckle, shook his head and said, “I don’t know.”
A look of approval flashed past Paxton’s gaze upon hearing the answer.
Yes, anyone would find Stefan’s answer to be absurd. Even a first year elementary school student would not answer in this manner yet Stefan could not answer it despite being one step away from invincibilis state and possessing profound knowledge.
“What’s going on? Stefan doesn’t know the answer? You must be joking.”
“You’re right. That’s just a give away question. Life will certainly cease to exist and nothing will last forever in this world. If life doesn’t end, how will the world be by now?”
“Who the heck is this guy? Could it be that he’s here to make a fool of himself?”
“That’s right. Prof Brookes, why did you ask him such an idiotic question?”
All at once, many students queried Stefan and assumed that he was a fool. Even though Stefan answered the first question logically, he was a fool for not being able to answer such an easy question.
At the podium, Paxton knocked on the surface lightly so the class would settle down immediately. Paxton asked Jordan, “Which part don’t you understand?”
Stefan knew that Paxton was teaching him a lesson to solve his puzzlement.
“Mr. Brookes, I don’t understand if there are any other forms of life other than the physical body and soul. Or, I wonder if soul exists. If it does, what is soul then? If the physical body is dead, where does the soul go?” Stefan asked the question in all seriousness.
The question had been troubling him during this recent period of time.
Stefan had been attempting to figure out the definition of soul and consciousness all this time.
The rest of the students assumed that Stefan was a psychic dealing with mysticism after hearing his query.
Stefan could not care less about these people’s opinion, of course. Stefan wanted Paxton to solve his puzzlement and he believed that Paxton would certainly know in view of him being an invincibilis fighter.
Paxton pondered for a while before he cracked a smile and said, “That’s a great question. Firstly, the soul does exist.”
Next, Paxton spoke tirelessly and began to explain the meaning of soul. In his elaboration, the soul was an intelligent form of life.
Stefan was immediately enlightened after hearing it.
Next, he inquired closely, “Mr. Brookes, do you think that life will cease to exist?”
Paxton said with a smile, “Yes and no. It depends on the situation.”
“Ah? I wonder which situation you are referring to?” asked Stefan with interest, eyes lit. In truth, he had already figured some parts of Paxton’s answer.
