Chapter 0331 - I'm a Man with the Power of a God (3/3 Ask for Subscription)
Compared with the Greek and European Middle Ages in other worlds, the Middle Ages in this world are obviously much more prosperous.
Argos is a country, and the most populous city in the world, with a permanent population of two million, the seaport city is so close to the other side of the interior that there is no sea in sight.
After all, there were no high-rise buildings in the Middle Ages, and if the houses were low and wanted to accommodate more people to live in, the building complex would spread very widely.
Qin Heng took Diana and Fiona, as well as Perseus, who was taken hostage voluntarily, and Athena, the goddess of war and wisdom, who came to study with him, but actually came to supervise it, and a group of five people appeared at the gate of the city.
After reaching an agreement with Zeus, Qin Heng is about to start his missionary journey in this world, unlike the one who once pretended to be a god in the world of "Godzilla" to gain believers, and now he can call himself a real immortal, but Qin Heng chose to use the most primitive and simple, and it can even be said to be the least efficient way.
"You can snatch our faith in a faster way, and even like you said, the human civilization that destroys this world leaves only the fire, and then kills us who have lost our divine power, and then allows the human civilization in this world to develop again."
Athena is not afraid of Qin Heng, she is in charge of war and wisdom, she herself has very strong combat effectiveness, and she is also very smart, so she was sent by Zeus to supervise Qin Heng, but even if he has wisdom, he is still very puzzled by Qin Heng's behavior, and asked when he followed Qin Heng into the city.
"But why choose this most difficult way, and the rules do not allow inducement, you know, the human beings in this world have lost their fear of God, and they are no longer willing to believe in human beings, and even sent troops to surround Mount Olympus more than twenty years ago."
Qin Heng walked in the medieval-style city, listening to the sound of the whole city in his ears, but he did not feel the slightest irritability, and his eyes were also appreciative of these ordinary emotions, because this is human civilization.
Hearing Athena's question, she smiled and asked, "You are the goddess of war and wisdom, so, do you think your wisdom is higher than all humans?"
Athena nodded with a natural expression and said, "Of course, even the smartest humans, when they are wiser than me, they will not be much better than ants who are wiser than me." ”
This sentence is somewhat familiar
Qin Heng sighed slightly and didn't say anything.
Athena frowned and asked, "If you don't agree, please give your reasons and come up with evidence to refute my words." ”
Diana's dislike of Athena is a natural rejection between the godhead owners of different worlds. And Athena is actually very beautiful, even if she uses her divine power to disguise her appearance now to avoid seeing her human beings and causing turmoil, she is still Athena's original appearance in her eyes, and Qin Heng thinks that when she sees Athena, she looks the same as herself.
Whether it is a woman or a goddess, nature will be hostile to the same sex whose appearance and body are not weaker than their own.
Seeing that Qin Heng didn't want to argue with Athena, he was secretly happy and asked directly: "Do you know Newton's laws, do you know Einstein's theory of relativity, do you know quantum mechanics, do you know what is called a burst channel?"
Athena sensed Diana's hostility, in fact, she had the same hostility towards Diana, for the same reason.
Fortunately, Nie Xiaoqian doesn't like Western barbarians, so she returned to Qin Heng's world, otherwise these two people would be 'competing for favor' in front of Qin Heng, and they would not have to educate the two of them.
Although Nie Xiaoqian can't beat this pair of goddess sisters.
Yes, Athena was the daughter of Zeus, and Diana was actually too, so she was sister.
"You should just say what you think I don't know, not just by name." Athena sneered.
Diana was just waiting for Athena to respond to her like this, she knew that Qin Heng also liked science, plus she had experienced the technological era of human beings, and had seen the scientific and technological knowledge of Krypton and Apocalypse, so she was not a vase who only knew the names of those laws.
"The standard definition of general relativity is ......"
Qin Heng interrupted Diana Xiu's IQ, because there was no point in talking about technology with an old god, and said: "These things are a bit complicated, and you will find that you are the one who will be hurt in the end, because you have to explain too much knowledge, including the meaning of some nouns." It's better to use some simple questions directly, such as: stone or wood, which one hurts more to hit people's heads"
Diana looked at Athena with a slight smugness.
Athena frowned and said: "Your problem itself is problematic, you didn't say who hit people with wood, who hit people with stones, and whether the person who was beaten was an ordinary person, or a demigod like him who had some divine power in his body." ”
It was not the first time that Perseus, who was suddenly mentioned, had heard that he had divine power in his body, but he had no intention of feeling and looking for divine power in his body at all, because he didn't want to be a god, he just wanted to be a human being, and he hated gods, especially the gods represented by Zeus.
Qin Heng smiled and asked, "Perseus, which one do you say hurts more when you hit someone?"
Without any hesitation, Perseus replied directly: "Stone." ”
Athena said dissatisfiedly: "Questionable questions can only get questionable answers, which does not mean that human intelligence is higher than mine, but rather that human intelligence is too low, and they don't do more comprehensive consideration at all, and don't go to know more information, which is a sign of stupidity." ”
Although Perseus was dissatisfied, he did not refute it, after all, Athena was not Zeus who killed his biological mother.
Qin Heng smiled again, and did not respond to Athena's words, but continued to ask: "Perseus, you just heard Athena's question about my question, why didn't you ask?"
Perseus replied: "Because there is no need, if you asked a question that I needed to know that information, you would have told me, but if you didn't say it, it proves that the answer has nothing to do with the factors she said, but only literally." ”
Athena snorted twice and said, "Stupid, this is the stupid side of human beings, they only know how to look at the surface of the problem, if they think seriously about the relationship between us and them, they will not give up their faith because we have not reciprocated their prayers, if they seriously think about the gap between them and us, they will not want to declare war on us." ”
Qin Heng sighed and said, "On the contrary, I think this is the smartest side of human beings. ”
Athena frowned and said, "Give me a reason." ”
Qin Heng stopped and stood on the side of the street, and some of the people who couldn't hear them, but who followed because of Diana's beauty, also stopped, as if they were gathered around Qin Heng and them.
"I have a question." Qin Heng said loudly: "If anyone can say the correct answer, then this silver coin is his." ”
Saying that, a silver coin appeared on Qin Heng's fingertips, it was not that he didn't have gold coins, not to mention that all kinds of minerals had appeared in his world, and he had also transported a lot of resources into it, so it was said that when his current strength used the characteristics of material reorganization, he could directly make gold.
You can take gold coins, but you don't have to, silver coins are enough.
There was a fiery emotion in the eyes of the people around him.
"The question is: which hurts more when a stone or a piece of wood hits someone?"
When the question that sounded simple was asked, no one immediately answered it, and everyone thought about it seriously.
This scene made Athena think about it too.
It was a little later that someone replied, "Stone."
This answer seemed to stir up a thousand waves, and the people around him spoke one after another.
"Wood, it must be wood, if the answer to such a simple question is so normal, why is it worth a silver coin"
"No, it's people who hurt more, because neither stone nor wood knows that it hurts."
"There is a problem with this question, I think it should depend on who hits people with stones or wood, I can kill people with wood, and that child may not be able to kill people with stones."
Qin Heng laughed when he heard this, and with a flick of his fingers, the silver coin appeared in the hands of the first person to answer.
The others were naturally unwilling, and they began to argue with Qin Heng, and they all said their reasons.
"Fiona."
Qin Heng spoke, Fiona directly grabbed the long sword on the waist of the person who was shouting the loudest, and with a slight force, the metal long sword broke into two, and the surroundings instantly quieted down, and no one reasoned with Qin Heng anymore.
The group walked forward unhindered, and although there were still followers, there were far fewer than before.
"In the absence of interests, human beings are unwilling to use their brains, and in the case of interests, human curiosity is hot enough to melt glaciers." Qin Heng said: "You think that human beings are stupid, just because you and those gods who have a complicated relationship with you are looking at human beings from the perspective of gods. Do you feel that you have used your divine power to maintain the stability of this world, so that the sea will not flood the land, so that the four seasons can be cultivated and harvested as usual, and all kinds of creatures have formed a biological chain in an orderly manner, which can be captured and domesticated by human beings...... But have you ever thought that for human beings, these things should be like this?"
Athena argued, "We told them about our contribution to the world. ”
Qin Heng smiled and said: "Yes, you told them, but what evidence do you have to prove that those phenomena that they think should be like that are because of your contributions Moreover, are those really because of your contributions There would have been a period of stability in the world, a period of prosperity and development of life, or rather, these are actually the power of Gaia, which is integrated with the world." ”
Athena was enlightened.
Qin Heng said again: "Because you are the creator of human beings in this world and the gods of this world, you have always been high up, and you feel that everything is as it should be, human beings should believe in you, and they should spend time praying to you every day, and they can't just pray to one god, but they never think about how much time they need to pray every day, and how much their lives will change if these times are used for work, study, and rest." Then, can human beings also think that the four seasons of this world, rain and sunshine, grains and prey, etc., should also be like this, regardless of how much divine power you have put into maintaining these?"
Only the state officials are allowed to set fires and the people are not allowed to light the lamps, which is really easy to get into trouble.
Something big has happened in this world, and mankind wants to overthrow the rule of the gods.
Athena understood what Qin Heng meant, and also understood why the relationship between gods and humans in this world has become like this, her wisdom itself is very high, but no matter how high her wisdom is, she is also a god, and gods will not consider problems from the perspective of human beings, unless someone beats them these gods and has to change their perspective.
"You are also a god, why do you understand human beings so well"
When she asked this question, Athena looked at Qin Heng with a tentative look in her eyes.
Qin Heng didn't hide it and said: "Because I am a human being, a person with the power of a god, a person who can claim to be a god king but let the natural god king choose to submit." ”
Firm that his essence is human is that Qin Heng will not get lost on the road of pursuing strength with the inheritance characteristics in his body.
If he is lost, not only will many untold lives die in his hands, but he will also die in the search for greater power.
Athena suddenly felt that Qin Heng was very charming, powerful and wise, as well as the kindness and kindness he showed.
But she was one of the three goddesses of Olympus who swore to remain a virgin, not to mention that she was a true god and was naturally proud, so she just looked at Qin Heng with appreciative eyes.
As for why there are three goddesses who take this oath, the reason is also very simple, Zeus, Poseidon, Apollo, Ares, Hades These male gods do not care about the relationship between father and daughter, uncle and nephew, brother and sister.
Apollo, the god of light, and Poseidon, the god of the sea, once proposed to Hestia, one of the three goddesses, and Apollo was the son of Zeus, and Hestia was the sister of Poseidon and Zeus......
After that, Hestia swore an oath and became the first virgin.
"Then what are you going to do?" asked Athena, "you can't slander coercion, you can't deceive and entic, how do you want them to believe in you and pray to you every day when God has broken his faith in mankind"
Qin Heng said with a smile: "I never said that I wanted them to believe in me, although I want them to believe in me, as for prayer, I don't actually advocate it. ”
If someone is really willing to pray, of course Qin Heng will not refuse to stop him, although his power of faith does not have the function of believers praying to increase the power of faith, but Nie Xiaoqian, Diana and others who have a godhead are born with it, just like the gods of this world.
After walking around the city and really feeling the city, Qin Heng took the group out of the city again.
At the end of the far sea, Qin Heng found a clearing some distance from the city, and stood there quietly, without making any movements, but silver-white metal grew out of the soil in front of him.
The first to break through the ground were sharp diamond-shaped metal thorns, which continued to thicken and grow towards the sky.
There were nearly a hundred of them who had come over, or who had some other ideas, and when they saw the metal that grew out of thin air, there was greed in their eyes, and in the Middle Ages, metal was wealth in itself, let alone this silvery-white, brighter metal than silver
But when the metal grows to ten meters tall, the greed in their eyes begins to fade.
When the metal grew to thirty meters tall, looking at the width of the metal, fear appeared in their eyes.
They already knew it was a miracle.
They knelt down when the metal had grown to a hundred meters tall and formed a massive structure that was an inverted triangle from all four angles.
The rumble reached the city, and thousands of people at the edge of the city saw the all-metal pyramid growing.
When the all-metal pyramid grew to a height of 999 meters, and the width of the four sides at the base was 330 meters, it finally stopped.
Seeing such a splendid building taking shape, let alone those humans, even Athena showed an expression of amazement and said, "If it was me in the past, I could easily do it, but now...... In fact, you can gather more people and perform miracles later, which will increase your faith. ”
Qin Heng's expression did not change at all, as if doing these was as easy as drinking water, and said: "The miracle has nothing to do with them, the faith obtained through the miracle does not last, this is not a miracle, its name is the school." ”
Athena frowned and said, "If you want to use knowledge to gain faith, then it is a temptation, and Zeus will not agree." ”
Calling her father's name directly, Athena's attitude is a bit interesting.
Qin Heng laughed and said, "Who said that I want to exchange knowledge for faith, I will teach them knowledge for free, as long as they want to learn, they can come, and I will not ask for anything from them, including faith." ”
Athena was stunned, she only gave benefits without asking for anything in return, taught for free, did not build temples, and did not arrange people to guide the faith, which was naturally not a temptation, but a simple gift.
"You're really human, and there's no point in this kind of thing." Athena said: "If you expect humans to be grateful to you and then believe in you spontaneously, you may be disappointed, because humans are forgetful, as if they had forgotten how we had helped them." ”
Qin Heng looked at the nearly 100 people kneeling on the ground in the distance, as well as the thousands of people who were rushing towards them in the distance, some people were spreading the news of the miracle in the city, and some people were angrily wiping their weapons and preparing to give the gods a good look.
In the royal palace, the king, queen, princess, and general, who had received the news that they were looking at the pyramids from the highest palace in the city, were arguing about what to do...... The list goes on.
"Humans are forgetful, but knowledge is passed on." Qin Heng said: "And human beings who popularize knowledge will record history." ”
Athena said: "History is always contemporary history, and the human rulers of an era can change the history of the past. ”
Qin Heng smiled and said, "Very good, you have already begun to think from the perspective of human beings. But have you forgotten...... You are God, and you can live many ages"
Athena was stunned.
