The Soul Shifters silently watched as the eerie flame twisted on the ground, gradually blooming into a ghostly picture.

As the flames went out, a dark mass remained on the ground, and they almost choked their throats before they could exhale their first breath.

"It's ...... What do you mean? ”

Lin Yilu asked his sister in a low voice, "Didn't the rat clan already know that their creator was dead?" ”

"It's different."

Lin Yiyan said with a solemn expression, "In the big lie made up by the national teacher, although the human beings, as the creators, have all fallen in a 'war of the gods', there is still a glimmer of hope - as long as the rat clan can complete the mission of the gods, the gods will be resurrected and summon them to the eternal and gorgeous paradise under the blue sky and white clouds.

The idea that the gods are dead, or temporarily dormant for various reasons, and that they are about to rise again, is present in many belief systems, and does not diminish the power of faith, but rather strengthens the piety of believers.

However, the cry of the wise man of the rat tribe just now obviously did not mean this, but said that they had seen through the lie, and the so-called gods, true gods, gods, creators, creators, whatever you call them, do not exist.

"It once existed, then died, and was going to be resurrected, that's a concept.

"It never existed, it was a damn scam from start to finish, that's another concept.

"Judging from the performance of the rat clan in this stronghold, now, all the rat clans in the Fang Kingdom probably know the truth, and the impact of this kind of faith collapse and betrayal by the creator is of course unbearable for many rat clans."

"Can the mere collapse of faith make intelligent beings lose the courage to live?" Lin Yilu sighed, it was really difficult to understand the behavior of the rat clan.

"Don't use the thinking mode of modern humans to measure a rat who is still in the primitive obscurantist stage."

Director Mu said slowly, "In fact, modern human beings have also gone through industrial revolutions, religious reforms and renaissances again and again, and only then have they gradually abandoned the ignorant and backward belief system and established a scientific worldview of seeking truth from facts.

"At that time, human beings would have burned at the stake the scholars who preached the 'heliocentric theory', and would have killed rivers of blood for the different names of the true God, but if you think about it, if there was an irrefutable force above the times that told them that the true God they believed in and fought for all their lives did not exist, what would have become of them?

"Order collapsed, society was chaotic, and suicide was committed by caesarean section...... At that time, the human race was probably not much better than the rat clan at this moment, right? ”

"That's it."

Chu Ge added, "Human civilization is a kind of primitive civilization in many ways, we have learned the mysteries of drilling wood for fire, polishing stone tools, making bows and arrows, cutting wheels, and building cities, and relying on our own hands and feet and hard sweat, slash-and-burn, blue wisps, digging canals, building the Great Wall and pyramids, and owning everything we have today."

"So, it's easy to figure out the truth that 'gods don't exist, it's all up to you.'"

"But the rat civilization is a secondary civilization, in the process of their birth and evolution, they are extremely dependent on the materials left in the wreckage of human cities, and the traces of humans scattered in the surrounding environment tell them all the time that a species far more advanced and powerful than them once existed.

"It is a matter of course to regard this incomparably powerful and intelligent advanced life form as a 'true God'.

"In addition, the rat people live in a dark and deep underground world full of dangers, facing the threat of death every minute, and in the face of extreme suffocation, they need to numb their nerves with faith.

"Therefore, the word 'faith' accounts for a much higher proportion of the social activities of the rat people than human civilization, and it is simply an important pillar for the existence of the entire civilization and the operation of society.

"Now, this pillar has been broken, it is not an exaggeration to say that the sky has fallen, and the reaction of these rat clans is also unexpected and reasonable."

"yes......"

Lin Yilu's eyes were straight, and he looked at the black rat shape below, and he was a little stunned.

Lin Yiyan had a heart-to-heart connection with him, and immediately asked, "What are you thinking?" ”

Lin Yilu said thoughtfully: "I'm thinking, what is that 'irrefutable and irrefutable' power? ”

Lin Yiyan was slightly stunned: "What do you mean?" ”

"Didn't the director just say that if in the dark and ignorant Middle Ages, there was an irrefutable force that transcended the times and told the people at that time that the true God did not exist, and mankind would definitely collapse."

Lin Yilu said seriously, "So, I'm just thinking, who told the entire Rat Clan about this now?"

"Think about it, such an important thing is simply related to the survival of the entire civilization and the meaning of the existence of individual lives, it is definitely not just a cat or dog that can make everyone believe a few nonsense, right?

"It's like preaching heliocentrism in the Middle Ages, although it is more scientific than geocentrism, but nine times out of ten it will not be believed by the people of the time, and instead of breaking people's faith, they will be burned at the stake.

"Suppose that now there is also a fearless warrior 'Bruno' in pursuit of the truth in the Rat Clan, and it speaks out and tells all the Rat Clan the truth that 'gods do not exist', will the Rat Race easily believe its words and immediately collapse and become a big mess?

"That's not unavoidable...... It's too child's play, isn't it? ”

Everyone was slightly stunned, and then became excited.

"Yilu, what you say makes sense!"

Director Mu said, "Although the Long Fang Kingdom is only limited to a corner of the underground of Lingshan City, because of the many crevices in the underground, the twists and turns are rugged, and the transportation is inconvenient, the speed of information transmission is definitely not so fast.

"In other words, the person who throws out the statement that 'the true god does not exist' must be in a high position in the Fang Kingdom, have the ability to convince all the rats, and be able to transmit their voices to every cluster of nerve endings of the rat civilization in order to cause the effect we see in front of our eyes.

"Chu Ge, such a character, in the Fang Kingdom, I'm afraid there won't be too many, right?"

"Yes."

Chu Ge replied in a deep voice, and the loyal face of the national teacher appeared in front of him.

If someone can break the will of all the rat clans with a single word, it is none other than the national teacher.

It's just that Chu Ge couldn't think of anything good for the national teacher if he thought about it, if it was to help the Celestial Organization deal with the Earth Alliance, it didn't have to take the initiative to surrender at the beginning, it directly led the rat clan, and the snake demon led the insect tide, turning Lingshan City upside down, wouldn't it be cleaner and neater?

Moreover, Chu Ge faintly had a feeling.

National teachers are by no means willing to be at the mercy of others.

The alliance military can't manipulate it, the extraordinary association can't manipulate it, and the celestial organization can't even manipulate it.

It will always be true to itself, to its soul that is burning to the end of its life, but still struggling to survive.

"Let's go, let's move on, we'll find out soon."

Chu Ge's gaze crossed the ruined stronghold and cast it into another gap that led deeper underground, and said softly but firmly.

Continuing on the road, everyone's mood was a lot heavier.

The deeper you crawl, the higher your vigilance.

Along the way, they met several lonely rat tribes, most of whom lost their armor and were stunned, poking at the side of the road like statues, muttering to themselves, immersed in their own fragmented spiritual world, asking them to answer nothing, or unable to understand the words at all.

There were even some mutant insects that hurriedly crawled past these mentally broken rats, and they didn't know how to attack, as if they had completely lost even the most basic desire to hunt and survive.

In order to avoid revealing their identities, the soul shifters did not entangle, leaving behind these collapsed rat clans and moving on.

The tunnel in front looked more and more familiar, as if Chu Ge had passed by when he followed the expeditionary force towards the snake demon's lair.

Judging from the excavation marks on both sides of the crevice, which are neatly arranged like scales, this is the masterpiece of the "drill rat" troops.

Moreover, Chu Ge also found a few light spots painted with luminous plant juice on the rock wall, in the shape of the word "Pin".

These are all traces deliberately left by him when he passed by here as a "long tongue" last time.
