Originating from the Eternal Sleep Pass, the "Light of Divine Punishment" breaks through the atmosphere of the Prison Gate Star and illuminates the space near the planet. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Roland and Valentina and their entourage also sensed the moment the "Light of Divine Punishment" erupted, and they all stopped their steps, turned their heads to look at the Prison Gate Star, and watched in amazement as the planet originally covered with ice, snow and oceans was cut and shattered by countless blades of light, and finally disappeared into a cloud of gray dust......

"Prison Gate Star, it's completely finished......," Valgentina broke the silence with a sigh, "This is the power of God, compared to how small and fragile we mortals are, even if we enter the legendary realm, we are just frogs in a well, what we see in front of us is nothing more than a palm-sized sky, but the true god is the master of the sky." ”

Roland was silent, deeply touched in his heart. All the gods are ants, and it is only because the gods have signed a pact that they will no longer enter the mortal world as true gods, that mortals gradually become arrogant, and they really think that they are the masters of the universe. In the past, his greatest pursuit was nothing more than the realm of legends, and entering the legend meant that he could greatly extend his natural lifespan, have more time to run his business, and create and protect a nation-state belonging to the people of the Far East. However, at this moment, witnessing the magnificent and desolate scene of the destruction of the planet, he couldn't help but doubt his pursuit, just like Valentina said, the legendary powerhouse is just a frog at the bottom of a well compared to the true god, and he can't get rid of the shackles of life itself.

In the Prison Gate Star, there may also be a prosperous kingdom, and in that country, perhaps the vast majority of people live happily, stable and prosperous for thousands of generations, but when the apocalyptic catastrophe comes, the entire planet turns into dust in an instant, and there are no eggs under the nest, how can the mortal kingdom survive? A thousand-year-old dynasty and a thousand-year-old empire are all fleeting in the final analysis.

When the gods walk in the world, the life and death of mortals are determined by the hands of the gods; When the gods realized that it was not wise to interfere too much in mortal things, they decided to cut off the channels between the gods and the human world in the form of the "Styx Agreement", and forbade the true gods to descend to the earth, mortals felt great trepidation at the same time as they were free, and even preferred to give up part of their freedom in favor of the survival guarantee promised by the old rules.

In the land without gods, there is certainly less strife and less oppression, but when the evil gods leave the world, the good gods also say goodbye, who will help the weak mortals resist the demons and beasts in the future?

Mortals who have lost their true God are like newly liberated slaves, lacking confidence in their own abilities and feeling lost in the unknown path. There is an attempt to change the status quo and restore the old order of coexistence between man and God: since the gods have left the earth, why not build a tower leading to the kingdom of God, so that mortals can enter the kingdom of idols and continue to receive the protection of God?

Someone thinks so, someone will do it. The Tower of Babel and the World Tree have similar stories in the realms of the ancient civilizations of the multiverse, which reflects the universal consensus of mortals at that time. Unfortunately, this effort was not approved by the gods, the Tower of Babel was never completed, the World Tree was cut down, and in the West, people called this event the "Fall of the Tower of Babel", and mortals who had entered the kingdom of God were expelled from Paradise; In the East, it is known as the "Jedi Celestial".

Perhaps in the eyes of the gods, the mortals of that era were like newly weaned children, always wanting to return to their mother's arms, and the mother had to coldly reject them, otherwise the child would never grow up. The Jedi Celestial Powers have a direct consequence: when mortals recognize the reality and realize that it is impossible for the gods to return to them, then the power vacuum left by the gods needs to be filled urgently. An urgent question arises: who will rule over mortals in place of the gods and bring a new order to the world?

The true God left the earth, leaving freedom but taking order away. Mortals can have order without freedom, but they cannot have freedom without order. Now that the true God has left, it is necessary and motivated for people to assemble and create a new God, a man-made God.

Originally, this social system of mortals was called "Leviathan", and later it was popularly called "state". This man-made new god has a variety of different systems, but without exception, politics is the heart, law is the skeleton, the army is the muscle, and the economy is the blood, and every subject under the rule of the state is a cell of the "Leviathan". The power of the "man-made god" is determined by the above factors, the state apparatus runs smoothly, the national power grows, the man-made god will expand, conquer, and seize more power; And when the state apparatus fails and society is full of evils, this man-made god will get sick, rot and even die, and then the collapse of the state and the decline of the nation will follow.

The gods watched from above the heavens, watched with great interest the creation of various "Leviathans", quietly watched one empire after another rise and flourish, reached the limits of the system, and had insurmountable drawbacks, and then turned from prosperity to decline in the form of riots, uprisings, revolutions, or foreign invasions, and finally collapsed, and new maggots multiplied on the corpses of the artificial gods, starting a new cycle.

After a long period of observation, the gods discovered that the nation created by man lacked a key element, and that the "artificial gods" who lacked this element always lacked some spirituality and drifted away from the objects they aspired to imitate. So the gods either sent apostles or inspired the elect, commanding them to spread doctrines and ideas on their behalf, and to help mortals to inject a more energetic energy into the "Leviathan" in a philosophical or religious way, which is "faith."

The state apparatus with faith is like a body that has acquired a soul, becoming stronger and more resilient, and even if it is destroyed by foreign enemies, it can continue to be passed on in the form of civilization, seeking opportunities for future restoration. However, the "man-made gods" who have faith also have extreme tendencies that make mortals who arm themselves with faith more belligerent, and thus many religious disputes have arisen to this day.

How will the mortal world evolve in the future, and will there be an absolutely perfect social system that will make the "Leviathan" created by mortals become the true god, create a kingdom of God on earth, and settle all disputes? To this question, the wise men of the ages have given various answers, but none of them have been verified in practice.

Witnessing the Prison Gate Star turn into dust under the shroud of the "Light of Divine Punishment", Roland felt an indescribable sense of urgency in his heart. In this world where there is a true god, only by becoming a god can you truly protect what you cherish. The Hand of God provided him with a door to the Pantheon, but there was a long and treacherous staircase to climb to push it open.

"What are you thinking?" Sister Jinlong's concerned voice came from her ears.

"I want to be a god." Roland replied without thinking.
