"What if there were no 'gods' in this world?" said Moshi to Opal Zirconium at one point.

"Never, you mean?"

"Yes. ”

"Doesn't the world just don't exist?" Opal laughed.

"So? What if the world wasn't created by God? Then, let's talk about the previous question, if there is no God in the world. ”

"You're serious about trying to discuss this with me?" Opal put down the herbal book in his hand.

"The wise man of Gouniper said, 'Son of man, search for all that is possible and impossible.' ”

"You should be a Ph.D. in logic. ”

"Logic is really worth the effort. So, what do you think?"

"Is there a world where the Lord of the Empty Wheel does not exist...... I can't imagine. Yes, God has punished us, and He will not set foot in the land of the north until we have atoned for our sins, but if He does not exist, how can there be rain and dew, how can there be sunshine, how can there be love, how can there be beauty, how can there be life?"

So Moser talked to him about Feuerbach's theory.

But of course, he does not mention Feuerbach's name, and is careful to use the word "hypothetical" as a starting point for the topic.

Feuerbach analyzed religion from an ontological point of view, arguing that the basis and object of religion are consciousness.

In The Nature of Christianity, he put it this way: "What is the essence of man that man himself is aware of, or what is the thing that forms in man kinds, that is, what forms the original human nature? is reason, will, and mind." ”

Christianity claims that their only God, God, is all-knowing, all-powerful, and loving.

Feuerbach pointed out that this essence of God derives from the absolute nature of man, i.e., reason, will, love. Man splits his own essence and shapes "God" because this essence is finite in man, and man expects the good to conceive of it as infinite, concentrated in God.

Such gods are nothing but man-made things.

Therefore, the world in which 'God' does not exist is the world that truly belongs to man himself. ”

Moshi looked at Opal, waiting for him to speak.

"Your theory is interesting, but it's nothing more than sophistry. Because God exists, He created existence itself. Opal Zirconium, who represents the Snowwalker community in view of God's voice, commented.

Now Mo Shi stood in the center of the hall, surrounded by black-clad clergy, red-clad clergy, and white-clad clergy.

Their problems focus on two main areas:

First, they were concerned about what Mo Shi himself had experienced and how he thought of this "miracle."

"This is grace, needless to say, and I will not disappoint him, and his light will always shine on me. "God wants me to be born again, to take away my memories of the past, to give me a new identity." ”

"How do you prove that a miracle has happened?"

"With my hands as smooth as marble without the use of blades, with my pointed ears borrowed from the heads of angels, with my magical spells that call the wind and rain—all are miracles. He lowered his voice a little and said, "But God did not ask me to dedicate myself, because I am not yet qualified, and I must continue to strengthen my human wisdom in the mortal world......"

"You mean, the Lord wants you to assist the royal family in the court. ”

"No, it's my choice, but there is no doubt that God will guide me. ”

"The Lord doesn't want you to worship Him in the temple?"

"I'm not qualified enough. The time has not yet come. ”

"If you go the wrong way, will you not fail the Lord's kindness to you?"

"If I go the wrong way, God will make me blind, deaf, and severe, and my teeth fall out and my skin will rot and sores, and I will atone for my sins with eternal suffering. ”

Second, whether the story holds up from a theological point of view. The questions are asked mainly about many details.

For example, where does the Lord of the Empty Wheel appear, whether it is on the sea, on the beach, above the sea, or in the sea, whether it is a light falling from the sky or a light falling from mid-air, whether it is a thunderous voice, or a gentle and rich voice, whether it speaks in the old Nepal language of classical times or in the current language of Sno, whether the gods ask Moshi to answer, whether he gives Moshi anything...... Wait a minute.

The priests asked Moshi to show what he called "God-given spells".

"The Holy Gods have warned many gifted mages in the Holy Scriptures, 'How can they give people the power of the gods unless it is for the sake of the Lord's majesty?' It tells us to be cautious in our spells, and to use them only when we need them. ”

"Now is the time of great need, and the Lord will allow you to cast spells to prove your innocence. ”

Moshi didn't think the priests here had heard of the magic he had ever shown—

Ice bridges covered with rivers, out-of-control shifting magic, spherical enchantments that traverse the battlefield...... After all, none of this happened in peacetime.

And he expected this request, so he prepared a rather harmless, but visually stunning technique. It is a beam twisting magic that has developed from the extension of "God wants light".

As he knelt on the ground, clasped his hands together and chanted, the shadows became as black as night, the sunlight as white as angels' wings, and the light in the hall was reshaped and woven into a web of spider silk and webs, forming a multiplicity of great rings of silver radiance, suspended beneath the dome.

At nightfall the meeting finally ended, and he was privately summoned to St. Ant's lodgings to dine with him.

The old man didn't accuse him, but he didn't feed him either.

"You don't like raw food?" asked the old man.

Inside the plate were only the surface of the meat that had been grilled, and inside was cold blood and tissue fluid. This kind of food is commonly known as "raw food" in the northern country.

"My stomach is too fragile. Mo Shi replied.

"yes. Your body is weak, and it is indeed difficult for you to maintain your ascetic practice. ”

Mo Shi could feel a tense atmosphere that he hadn't felt in his previous meetings with the Holy Priest. And he also knew that he was having a weak heart.

The temple will not take your word for it, and the scrutiny and questioning will certainly continue for a long time to come, so remember to be careful with what you say and do. The Holy Priest reminded him, "And it seems to those who believe in you that you have not shown enough sincerity that you are not willing to join the temple and become a servant of the king—"

I saw the old man wipe his lips with a napkin and drink the last sip of warm wine.

He simply put down the knife that cut the pieces of meat.

"What do you think of me now, Lord St. Tuan?" asked Morse. He found himself sounding mournful, but childlike.

"Child," said the old man, "you are not to blame you for what you say, for I know that words are naturally artistic, and I do not blame you for not telling me those things before, for I understand your fears. And I am troubled by those parts of your words that are true. ”

"What are the parts that are true?"

"You must have received divine grace. The old man said, "As you say, otherwise, why are you different?"

Mo Shi was silent.

The old man sighed: "This land is guilty of the people she conceived, the Lord of the Empty Wheel will not set foot in the land of the north, so he only appears on the sea beyond the coastline, the sins of the snowwalker are not atoned, the body that bears the soul is dirty, so he wants you to be refreshed and give you a new soul...... But he didn't tell you, what are you supposed to do? Didn't he ask you to save the world?"

"In this world, only the Lord of the empty wheel has the right to give and forgive sins. Mo Shi saw the old man's empty gaze, he was a little unbearable, he was eager to make up for some kind of mistake, "If he intends to make me a help, but I am only the Son of Man anyway, if the Son of Man wants to save the Son of Man, he obviously needs more...... More ......"

"What's more, kid?" asked the old man gently.

More ......

More –

Power.

The shepherd has a staff, a dog, and a sword.
