"Three gods?" It was really amazing, Lu Ran felt that he had really come to an unprecedented, unheard of foreign country. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
"Yes. ”
"So, have you seen a god, what is a god like?" Lu Ran asked curiously.
"No, no one has seen it. ”
This answer made Lu Ran a little disappointed, "None of you have ever seen a god, so do you all still believe in the existence of these three gods?"
"Well, the three gods do exist. They are the gods of calamity, hope, and time. The people here believe in the god of hope. Huang Dewen replied in the affirmative.
"None of you have ever seen a god, so why do you believe in it?"
"Because there are witches. The words of the witch, her prophecies, without exception, all came true. Witches live on this island, on the highest mountain, in the most secret place in the mountains.
When there is a will in the divine realm, or there is a change, she will come down the mountain and bring us the news.
She is also our human spokesperson, helping us to regulate and communicate with the gods. Huang Dewen explained.
"I see. Lu Ran could feel that when Huang Dewen talked about the gods they believed in and this mysterious witch, his tone and demeanor were very serious and reverent.
This made Lu Ran also respectful, "You said, you believe in the god of hope, what about the other two gods?"
"I'll start from the beginning. Huang Dewen said as he naturally folded his hands.
"A long, long time ago, when our ancestors were still alive, the first witch opened the eyes of heaven and saw three gods.
But she could not describe what the gods looked like.
She tells us that God is nature, law, and power.
They are far away and close at hand.
In the beginning, every god was worshipped.
But later, it was discovered that the god of calamity always brought calamity to our land from time to time, and the people were unbearable. Its devotees then fell to their knees and begged for mercy and offered offerings, but it became apparent that no matter how much they tried to please the deity, it did not show the slightest mercy.
On the contrary, seeing how cowardly humans are only fostered is the joy and arrogance of bullying them.
Disasters have become more frequent.
On the earth, floods and droughts often break out.
When there is no harvest, people can only starve to death.
The more people fear God, the more it plays with it, and at the same time, because of our fear, it can get more offerings.
As a result, people gradually realized that this became a vicious circle. It is becoming more and more a nightmare for people, while God Himself is enjoying more and more, and is becoming more and more greedy.
At this time, people finally realized that the god of calamity, although powerful, was not something we should bow down to and bow to. For it never has mercy on us because of our piety and weakness.
At this time, others who believed in the god of hope found that their gods were much more merciful.
Those who believe in the God of Hope, like other believers, pray day and night to the God in their hearts and make offerings.
They found that the people who survived and lived better in disaster after disaster were often those who believed in the God of Hope.
Gradually, people discovered the goodness of this God.
As a result, people who used to worship the god of calamity have slowly turned to believing in this god of hope who helps people live better lives.
The belief in the god of calamity has become very rare, and when people talk about God, they mean the god of hope, and this has become a common thing.
However, this circumstance finally angered the god of calamity.
It found that there were fewer and fewer people who feared and believed in itself, and it was very dissatisfied.
It became angry and vowed to defeat the god of hope, bring the end of the world, and bury humanity completely in disaster.
Oh my God, bless us. ”
Huang Dewen said as he spoke, and couldn't help but prayed with his hands folded.
"So, has the God of Hope been defeated by the God of Calamity?" Hearing this, Lu Ran looked at the group of passers-by who had fled from them, and carefully asked a question that he was most concerned about at the moment.
Huang Dewen looked blankly ahead and muttered, "So it seems, that's the case." The expression was a little desperate.
The gods of faith have fallen, the people have lost their shelter, and their homeland is about to be destroyed.
Lu Ran didn't know what he could say to comfort the boy next to him at this time.
"What about the god of time? You didn't seem to mention Him just now. Lu Ran thought of this.
"Oh, the god of time, yes. This is what the witch told us, that we have three gods, that it rules time, that it keeps a balance between time and space. ”
"Well, that sounds like a lot of power. Lu Ran pondered and thought it was quite interesting.
Speaking of this god of time, Huang Dewen smiled and said, "Well, at first, we thought so too.
Like the other two gods, at first, there was a group of believers who believed in the god of time.
They praised Him, sang praises to Him, and made offerings to Him.
However, it was discovered that this God, who had never shown any special miracles, neither helped people to ward off evil spirits nor sent disasters to people in fear like the god of calamities.
Some of those who pray to Him wish that time would pass more slowly so that they can enjoy their present happy and abundant lives for a longer period of time, while others pray that time will pass sooner so that their current suffering may be shorter.
However, no one who wants to be faster or slower has ever been able to get what he wants.
Time still follows its own rules, maintaining everyone's time. In the face of time, everyone is equal. Gradually, fewer people prayed to Him.
They no longer believe in the changes they can bring to their lives by believing in the god of time.
People even wonder if the first generation of witches said something wrong, or if it was too long, so there were rumors and misinformation.
In fact, there is no such thing as a god of time?
No one can give a definite answer, no one has seen Him, and no one has ever felt Him.
He is like air.
He is the one with the weakest sense of existence among the three gods. ”
Even devout believers like Huang Dewen will compare this god to air, and bluntly say that he is the one with the weakest sense of existence.
can only say that his sense of existence is really weak......
"In this way, although you have three gods, you only really believe in one god of hope. Lu Ran understood what Huang Dewen meant.
"Yes, the god of calamity, to us, is a devil who is now going to devour us. Huang Dewen said distressedly.
"Do you know where your God of Hope is the refuge left for you?" )
