Chapter 1202: Clue to the Heavenly Sword Fragment
Xi Tong has set two currencies, one is the skill points generated and consumed in the skill tree of the career system, and the other is the currency used in the trading and circulation of the heavens and all worlds.
In the heavens and worlds, each small world has its own currency, such as shell money, copper coins, silver coins, gold coins, etc.
These currencies come and go, and their value varies.
Some of the well-made ones can be collected as crafts in other worlds, but some of them are too hard to wipe their butts, and they are disgusted in this world, let alone outside.
This kind of currency will definitely not be able to circulate in the heavens and all worlds, let alone be used as the unified currency of the heavens and all worlds.
For the setting of currency, Xi Tong also scratched his head.
Previously, the currency was based on the Power of Faith, and all items were priced according to the Power of Faith.
But after understanding the nature of the power of faith, this monetary system is bound to be invalid.
It's just that Xi's monetary system has not yet been established, and it has not even been determined what to base it on.
This is not a small business, just grab a stone can be regarded as an equivalent, this is the cornerstone of the heavens and all worlds, involving countless worlds, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a thing that condenses merit and luck.
Wait a minute......
The power of merit, the power of luck.
In the previous currency setting, above the power of faith was the power of fanatical faith, and then up was the power of merit.
The power of merit is condensed and pure, scarce in number and extraordinarily effective, and is the product of the qualitative transformation of the power of fanatical faith, which, of course, is as difficult and long as a carp jumping over the dragon gate.
Many gods with unique flavors have specially designed special systems to collect the power of fear, abomination, killing, etc.
These powers are very difficult to obtain, but with fire, a world is completely smelted, and then various forces are precipitated and shaped into life, race, and even civilization.
In other words, with the Tinder, the power of merit will become common and commonplace, and each god will have a continuous and steady way to obtain the power of merit.
Xi Tong weighed it again and again, and finally changed the power of faith to the power of merit.
Although the power of fanatical faith may change qualitatively under certain circumstances, the power of faith and the power of merit are completely different things.
Beliefs are directed at a person or something and are inherently private.
But the merit comes from a certain group and is also directed at a certain group, usually for the group itself.
To put it another way, faith has a strong purpose and utilitarian nature, and cause and effect are deeply involved, but the power of merit is completely opposite.
The power of merit has no purpose or utilitarian nature, nor does it have any deep causal involvement.
For example, Nuwa made people.
Before she created a human being, Nuwa did not know what the consequences of doing this would be, nor did she know what benefits it would have for her.
But she did it anyway.
Since then, the Terrans have flourished.
In essence, the folk belief in Nuwa is not a religion, nor is it aimed at the power of faith, but belongs to the kind of love or disbelief.
Moreover, Nuwa has always ignored her own believers, because there is no cause and effect between the two sides.
That's why she can achieve merit and sanctification.
Similarly, there are Suiren's clan, Youchao's clan, Fengfeng's clan, Shennong's clan, Changzu, Cangjie and so on.
Xi Tong couldn't help but think about the difference between the two.
Faith is something that is known, old, and fixed.
Merit is something that is unknown, future, and unshaped.
At this time, a flash of inspiration flashed in Xi Tong's mind.
The essence of life is repetition, and the essence of civilization is also repetition, and faith is derived from these countless repetitions.
Merit is the power to break repetition and create change, and the appearance of each merit means a large or small variable.
Therefore, the power of merit is inherently higher than the power of faith, and the purest power of faith is not as good as the power of merit at the lowest level.
Hongjun is the opposite of the old ruler, and he is the future revelator, so he will frequently appear in the world of gods, so the world of gods will have a huge power of merit and creation.
As for the other worlds, they are all parallel worlds of the God World, which is essentially repetition, so one is counted as one, and none of them have the existence of Hongjun.
Not to mention anything else, just with Hongjun's footprints, the world of gods is destined to be different.
The reincarnation of millions of lifetimes has left a deep imprint of light in Xi Tong's soul, making Xi Tong subconsciously think that the light faith is the strongest and only faith in the world.
Although this influence has been partially erased by the old dominators, it has not been completely erased.
In the past, when Xi Tong thought about problems and looked at things, he also took this as a premise.
But thinking of Hongjun and the many saints in the world of gods, Xi Tong has a new understanding.
The God of Light may be well developed and powerful, but it is not necessarily the only one, nor is it necessarily the right path to eternity.
There are many powerhouses in the world of gods, especially saint-level bigwigs, not to mention going everywhere, they are also getting together.
However, there is no faith in light.
The Light Faith, which is active in many worlds, almost all of which have its presence and influence, is the only one that is absent from the world of the gods.
Is this a coincidence, or is it inevitable?
The bright faith has the salvation of the ark, and the Western religion later has "the sea of suffering is boundless, and the shore is the shore".
The Bright Faith has all sentencing sins, and the Western Religion has later had sentient beings suffering.
What is Sea of Bitterness? Is it the sea where the ark is located?
What is sin? Is it original sin or suffering?
In Xi Tong's view, both express the same thing - transcending the long river of time and reaching the other side of eternity.
However, the Buddha said that the boundless sea of suffering is the shore, does it mean that they have done the same thing as the God of Light, or even gone further than him?
Persistence does not mean rightness.
The God of Light was short-sighted, so he firmly believed that the ark could carry him to the other side, and the Buddha had a long-term vision, so he sent out the feeling of turning back to the shore.
Xi Tong couldn't help but wonder if before the God of Light, the Buddha Sect had also dominated thousands of worlds, so that there was a saying that there was a flower and a world, and many worlds were divided into large worlds, middle worlds, and small worlds.
In this way, whether the transformation of Western religion into Buddhism is the cause planted by the War of the Gods, the product of the collision between the ideas of Sectarianism and Western Religion, or the doomed result of the past, the revival of a lost sect.
Either way, it shows that the other side of eternity is an unattainable goal.
The road is destined to be difficult and dangerous.
Even those with great ability, great wisdom, and great perseverance cannot cross this path.
Xi Tong does not think that he is stronger than the sages.
Mastering the power of time only gives you a slight advantage, and it may be that increasing the win rate of zero to the level of 0.01% does not mean that you have a chance to win.
At this time, Luo Tianyi came with news.
After a long period of hard searching, the power of the heavens and all worlds has been searching, and finally found the clue of the fragment of the Heavenly Sword.
Direct leads, not indirect leads.
