I held out two fingers to the white worm: "For two years at most, I promise you will be able to eat more delicious food than this every day, but until then, you will have to live on the black tumors in the wormhole." ”

The people of this world can't understand the deceit in the civilized world at all, so the white worm will not say "Why should I believe you?" like the Rat King and Ymir. ”。

He is alert, very intelligent, and has a sensitivity that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve.

Most of the people who have lived in darkness for a long time have a sensitivity that the inhabitants of the light world do not have.

It was because of this keen presence that the white bug quickly realized that I didn't lie to him.

He could feel my honesty.

After a moment, the white worm asked, "How can I cooperate with you?" ”

I reminded him, "Just now, the new god killed the old god, and now, the new god will replace the old god." ”

I guess in your opinion, what I mean by this is to let the white worm tell a lie for me, tell others that I am the new god who came to replace the monster, and let everyone give up their faith in the old god and believe in the new god instead, but in the eyes of the white bug, I just told him my identity.

I told him that I was a god, and I told him that I was here to replace the old gods.

I told him that the new faith would lead to tastier and more hearty food.

After five minutes of silence, the white worm struggled to get up, then crawled at my feet, and called out the name of the new god.

Until now, the White Worm didn't know what my name was, but he had an idea, because I had just attached a talisman fire to the blade of the spear, and he called me "Vulcan".

The god of fire is the god of fire, at least it is much better than the blind god.

It's really interesting to say that if a god is only female, the world can directly call her "goddess", but if the god is only male, believers usually do not call him a male god, but use other prefixes to modify his god.

The reason why this phenomenon occurs is because in a patriarchal society, women's gender itself has become a kind of label, "heroine", "heroine", "goddess" and so on are innumerable, the reason why such words appear is because everyone will generally believe that heroes, chivalry, gods and other powerful life forms should belong to men alone, and the biggest significance of the existence of labels is to define heterogeneity.

To put it bluntly, this is a form of sexism.

Do you think that I am a bit too extreme to say this, for this, I can only say that the truth of this world is often so extreme.

You might also say that as long as none of us consider it discrimination, then it is not discrimination.

Many people believe that the truth of a thing depends on what meaning we give it.

This is not wrong at all, just as the people of this world regard monsters as gods, and the spider silk turned into black paste as a unique delicacy in the world.

In their eyes, that's their gods, that's their faith, that's what they live by.

But in my opinion, the truth is that they were all deceived by the King in Yellow.

So which one do you think is the truth?

The answer is that they are all truths, and the truth we see is different because we give the truth a completely different meaning.

The difference in our perception of the truth stems from the fact that we follow a completely different moral system, and the difference in moral system comes from the difference in the living environment.

I'm no smarter than the people of the Underworld, and they're no more stupid than I am.

But fortunately, I have one advantage that the underworld doesn't have, and that is that I'm smart enough to make me realize how stupid I really am.

It was because I was able to realize my stupidity that I was able to remain at peace when they exalted me as a god.

I clearly know that what I do is not based on the moral high ground, and I am indeed out of moral considerations when I save people in the underground world, but I kill gods in the underground world to a large extent for the sake of the word "profit".

By being clear about this, you can prevent yourself from making some too stupid moves in the future.

At first, only the white worms were calling out to my new god, but gradually, the others were also inspired, and they all fell down and chanted "Vulcan".

The reason why I chose to trade with the white bug is also because I saw early on that this guy's strength should be considered outstanding among the residents of this level, otherwise he would not have such a good weapon in his hand, and he would not have two masks on his shoulders.

If you want to change the faith of the inhabitants of this level, you need a strong person to set an example for them and take the lead in bowing to the new faith.

Now, my purpose has been accomplished.

Next, I told the people present that your old gods wanted to kill everyone here, and I, in a merciful way, came to save you, even though the old gods are dead, you don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and in the future, I will bring you more delicious and abundant food.

Anyway, it's all clichés, and it doesn't matter whether they believe it or not.

After all, the old gods are dead, and they urgently need new faith to fill the void in their hearts, and right now, they have no other way out than to choose me, the new god.

The new faith means new rules of survival, and just like in the previous level, I have made the white bugs my agent, managing the inhabitants of this level while I am away, and at the same time making new rules that do not kill people at will.

When something was ready, I left the ruins with the white worms and returned to the wormhole.

Only the White Worm was behind me, and the others were kept out of the cave, which was now a place where only Shinkin and his agents could come and go at will.

It wasn't until we came to the entrance of the hatchery again that the white bug spoke: "If we don't kill each other anymore, next year there will be a big bunch of children waiting to be fed." ”

The inhabitants of this layer kill each other day by day, which seems to be barbaric and bloody, but in fact it is not completely without benefits, it is precisely because they fight every day that the population base of this layer is not too large.

I thought for a moment before I said to the white worm, "Marriage is forbidden for two years...... You shouldn't understand what marriage means, in other words, for two years, it is forbidden to have children. ”

The white bug looked a little helpless: "This thing is difficult to prohibit." ”

"That's your business, after I'm gone, this layer will be in your hands, but don't worry about it, I'll come back from time to time."

"Where are you going?"

"Go and talk to the King in Yellow about life."

With that, I stepped into my shoes and went into the deepest part of the tunnel.

Before I could take a few steps, the white bug called out to me: "Wait! ”
