Chu Ge listened to this, and suddenly became a little strange, "If everyone knows the truth of the gods, why are there so many people who believe in it devoutly?" ”

Vera shook her head: "Not everyone knows, in fact, most of them don't know this, after all, not everyone has a sister who is a saint, and not everyone has the opportunity to enter the library of the Church of Light to consult materials, and most of them can't understand even if they have the opportunity to consult it, after all, not everyone is literate." ”

The so-called saint in Vera's mouth should refer to Kara, but Chu Ge recalled that Kara looked holy at the beginning, and it really matched the word saint.

As for the problem of literacy, Chu Ge is not difficult to understand, although he has only been to the world of Akaram twice, but he feels very backward, it is estimated that it is stronger than medieval Europe, but it is certainly not as good as Renaissance Europe, and because the religious culture is too strong, the secular humanities must be very bad.

Chu Ge nodded, indicating understanding, and he asked another question that he was very concerned about.

"So does the god of light himself have a consciousness of his own? Or could he only accept the settings given to it by the founders? ”

Vera shook her head, "No way, the gods are all false, just phantoms condensed by the power of blind and fanatical faith, and the joys and sorrows, holiness and depravity they show are only a reflection of the believers' hearts." ”

Chu Gexin said, isn't that the same as a computer program? If that's the case, what about the hint that El gave him? Was it just a coincidence, or maybe the hint that El wanted salvation was only because the hearts of his followers longed for salvation, so he gave himself that hint?

Doesn't that mean that you don't need to worry about El's affairs at all?

However, at this time, Xin Jiuniang, who had been listening attentively, suddenly came to say.

"No, gods are not false, they have their own consciousness and feelings of good and evil, and the reason why the gods of your world are so easily influenced and manipulated is because they are not gods in the strict sense of the word."

Vera was stunned when she heard this, "Huh? What do you mean? ”

Xin Jiuniang recounted the distinction between gods and spirits that she had told Chu Ge about, "So the gods of your world are probably just spirits, but with so many spirits and so powerful, it seems that the natural power of confusion in your world must be very strong." ”

Chu Ge was puzzled, "The power of natural confusion? So what? ”

Vera also had an expression of listening to your teachings.

Xin Jiuniang didn't hide her selfishness, and gave the two of them a bit of science.

It turns out that in the foreign world, there are also some spirits, but the number is not large, and the appearance of these spirits is often more regular, and only appears in some specific places.

It may be a mountain, it may be a river, sometimes it is a spring, sometimes it is just a stone, these places where the 'spirit' can be born are often full of vitality, and there have been many people who have cultivated the Tao and practiced the Dharma who want to use this to improve their cultivation, but these people often end up in madness, and whenever people meditate in these areas, they often feel a vast will, and it is therefore difficult to concentrate and calm down.

This inexplicable force is called the power of natural confusion by cultivators.

Until now, no one has figured out the principle of this power, only that it is easier to start the 'spirit' in such a place.

"Does that mean that our world is all enveloped by the forces of nature's temptation? You must know that there are gods everywhere. As she spoke, Vera suddenly showed a look of sudden realization, "I see, I see." ”

"Got what?"

Navera said eagerly, "In fact, there is also magic in our world, and you can even buy all kinds of magic books in the black market, and there are wizards and witches who can use magic, but these wizards and witches are often evil and crazy, like madmen, they will do all kinds of terrible and terrible things, so both wizards and witches have a bad reputation."

When I first got the magic from the dungeon, I was almost caught and burned as a witch several times, I'm afraid it's because of the power of natural confusion, but fortunately I learned the magic in the dungeon, otherwise I'm afraid I would have been like those guys. ”

Vera showed a frightened expression, and suddenly her eyes lit up, as if she remembered something.

"Maybe I know where the source of the power of natural confusion is, it should come from the abyss!"

"The abyss? I was about to ask you, what's going on in that abyss in your world? ”

Vera explained that in the center of the world of Akalam, there was a huge black hole, bottomless and pitch black, and when people gazed into it, they often felt that there was an incomparably terrifying will in the deep darkness.

In the first records, the abyss was not harmful, and there were even human villages living near the abyss.

People have stumbled upon the power emanating from the abyss that can enhance human strength, mental ability, and human potential.

As a result, many scholars and occultists began to study the power of the abyss, and some knights and warriors also wanted to use the power of the abyss to strengthen themselves.

However, I don't know when it began, a terrible force began to spread out of the abyss, and people infected by this power often became crazy, full of aggression, and often became extremely powerful, and occasionally had some kind of ability, this force also had a terrible contagion, and this force became more and more powerful over the centuries, so that people in the area around the abyss migrated and fled, but the power of the abyss spread unstoppably.

Those infected by the power of the abyss did not die, but gathered together, stubbornly surviving, constantly attacking the surrounding human city-states, their purpose was to make the whole world fall into the power of the abyss.

These people whose minds have been corrupted by the power of the abyss are often very powerful, and they have the power of the abyss in them, and it is often difficult for human armies to resist, either killed or infected.

Arguably, the Abyss is the most formidable enemy of the world of Akaram.

Fortunately, there is an organization called the Abyss Monitors, they are the descendants of those who studied the power of the abyss, they have mastered a method of controlling the power of the abyss, which can avoid being corrupted by the abyss to a certain extent, and at the same time, they can use the power of the abyss to exert great combat power, they condense the power of the abyss into something called the mark of the abyss, and use it to obtain great power when necessary, they stubbornly fight against the abyssal spreaders sent by the abyss, However, the fate of these abyssal monitors is often more miserable, because after years of exposure to the power of the abyss, they are fine when they are young, but once they are old and their minds are weakened, they will easily be completely controlled by the abyss and fall into madness.

As a result, Abyssal Watchers tend to commit suicide before they reach old age.

"Abyss Mark? I seem to have one in my hand, you can help me see it. Chu Ge said, taking out a black coin-like object from his pocket, which was a special item he had picked up from the Silent Light Monastery.

【Mark of the Abyss (Consumables)

Use: Grants you access to dark power from the abyss for 24 hours.

Item description: A strange black item containing powerful power from the abyss. 】

Navera's face was solemn when she saw this.

"That's right, it's this thing, I've seen this thing on an Abyss Spreader before, maybe it was obtained from the Abyss Watcher, it does contain a trace of abyss power, but since it's obtained from a dungeon, it shouldn't make you go crazy, but I think it's better not to use it lightly."
