33 Faith
At Aqua Blue Star, Ryan has seen a movie.
Interstellar.
There is a theory in the movie, that is, human beings are sucked in by black holes, consciousness exists in a higher dimension, without the limitation of time and space, and can return to the past that has happened, where the protagonist of the movie tries to influence his past self through some means, he pushes a book off the shelf and turns to a certain page to remind his past self.
On the other hand, if the protagonist in reality understands this prompt, he will take it as a sign, some kind of apocalypse.
Ryan's current situation is different from the movie, he can't reverse time and space, his consciousness is with the help of the Golden Book, plus certain conditions, so that he can ignore the limitations of space, but he can't do anything about time.
Also, there are limits to this space.
He can't do everything, he can't think a thousand miles, this side is still in the northern ice field, and the next moment he will go to the hot Amur continent.
Of course, if you keep cultivating and walk on the right path, and you don't fall halfway, it is not impossible to finally break through the limitations of time and space, after all, it is equally incredible to be able to travel to this mysterious world.
One day, maybe you will be able to return to the Aqua Blue Star.
"Heavenly Father, my Lord Almighty
Walk on the earth
Aromatic all over the road
......”
Ryan can feel Old White's emotions, full of happiness, extreme piety, these emotions are all turned into the power of faith, in Ryan's consciousness, materialized into a golden thread, swimming in the chaotic space.
That's power.
The source of the Golden Book's energy.
It's very faint, but it's getting stronger little by little.
The more pious Old White became, the stronger the power became, and it seemed like a drop in the bucket, but as time went on, it was like a drop of water, and in the end, it still worked.
The ocean is vast, but it is also made up of droplets.
Perhaps, you can find more believers?
As long as the power of faith is strong enough, you will be able to understand the secrets of the Golden Book better.
Not long after, Ryan returned to Chaos Space.
Actually, that's not accurate.
It should be said that Ryan's consciousness has always existed in the chaotic world, but it is like an extra pair of eyes, and he went to Jeff White along that golden thread, and there was an extra perspective.
Over here?
It should be where your mind is.
At the same time, it is also the embodiment of the golden book.
In other words, Ryan's consciousness is now in the Golden Book.
Consciousness can be incarnated in thousands of ways, and a wisp of faith that can appear next to Old White can follow Old White's belief, but his existence in that space requires energy, so it's best not to stay for a long time.
The current situation can't help but remind Ryan of the fantasy novels he read when he was on the aqua blue star.
In some novels, human beliefs give rise to gods, and they are born out of their beliefs, and gradually develop their own will, and the gods will even fight with each other for faith, and if the faith is not there, the gods will fall into a deep sleep and then fall.
When people no longer mention the names of the gods, stop believing and fearing them, and even forget them in their memories, then the gods cannot escape the fate of death.
So, the gods need the market to send down miracles, either to be admired, or to be revered, or to be feared......
In short, in any case, it is necessary for mankind to remember his name, to recite it all the time, to pray all the time, so that it can exist for a long time, and once it is slack, forgotten, unable to perform miracles, it will also go to old age.
In Ryan's view, the gods in the novel are more like a giant bank.
The gods derive their faith from human beings, just as a bank absorbs depositors, and depositors withdraw money from banks, just as the gods perform miracles in front of humans, and there is a difference in interest between savings and mortgages, and the gods are the same as banks.
Most of the reasons why banks fail are that they cannot make ends meet, they cannot recover the money they lend, they face a run, and there is no money to return to depositors.
Most of the reasons for the run are credit bankruptcy.
The same is true of the gods, once the credit is bankrupt, the believer is lost, and without the support of the power of faith, it becomes more stingy, and it is easy not to send down miracles, and without miracles, there is less faith to gain.
In this way, it is inevitable to go bankrupt.
Now, Ryan feels like the gods depicted in those novels.
He was able to obtain the power of faith through the Golden Book, and this power of faith could be converted into some kind of energy for his use, and in the same way, he could probably return this energy to the believers, but now there was only one believer, and the power was too weak to do that.
In Aqua Blue Star, the Golden Book is in Egyptian legend and is a sacred artifact of the god of death.
In ancient Egypt, it should have had a lot of faith power, but in modern times, the legend has become ethereal, and not many people believe in the golden book, and this thing has fallen into a deep sleep.
At that time, he broke into the underground palace and obtained the golden book.
The Divine Soul and the Golden Book fused and were able to penetrate the Endless Void and come to this world.
It's hard to imagine what the situation will be on the water blue star.
Most of the energy originally stored in the Golden Book was consumed when he crossed over, but there was still some left, so he was able to be safe in the face of those strange existences.
Now, that energy is gone.
It's like an electric car, the battery is running out.
If you want to get back on the road, you have to recharge.
For Ryan, Jeff White is the power plug, and there is a steady stream of electricity from there, although Jeff White believes in the Father and recites the Father's name, but the power of his faith cannot go to God, and halfway, it is stolen by Ryan.
However, humans are fickle creatures.
As time passes, Old White may forget the life-saving grace of that night, and his faith is no longer pure.
Of course, this is unlikely.
After all, Old White is already in his old age, and he still longs for redemption after death and wants to go to heaven, so his faith will not be mixed with many practical factors, and he will not desire too much fame and fortune.
Compared with the Oriental society on the Aqua Blue Star, the beliefs of the people in this world are much purer.
Or maybe it's because there are supernatural powers in this world, and gods and monsters are not ethereal legends.
Jinni?
Does it really exist?
He stole his faith, does the Heavenly Father of Old White know?
Will it be ignored like an ant, or will it rain down with thunderous wrath after a while?
Ryan didn't think much of it.
If you want to live, if you want to be free and detached, you must have power.
The golden book is his golden finger, faith is the source of strength, he will not stop because of unknown dangers, give up, let alone be afraid and uneasy, that is not his style.
