Chapter 30: The Edge of Doom (30) The Definition of God
Mo Chen didn't react to Professor Wen's words, how interested he looked, after all, if Professor Wen had something to say, he naturally couldn't stop it, and the opposite was the same.
Sure enough, Professor Wen took the initiative to ask Mo Chen, "Then you don't want to improve your ability?" β
Mo Chen pretended to smile bitterly, "What you said is light, this is not for students to cope with the exam, where I want to work hard, I can do it immediately." β
"Uh-huh......" Professor Wen nodded in understanding, paused for a moment, and then he said, "Remember what I told you, right?" The reason why God became a god and was believed by human beings is that he can satisfy the greed and desire of people's hearts. β
"Yes, I remember." Mo Chen responded, he vaguely felt that Professor Wen seemed to be making a foreshadowing for what he was about to say.
Professor Wen looked at Mo Chen at this moment, with a hint of plucking, and his eyes seemed to say, "Don't you understand?" β
Mo Chen didn't say anything, nor did he ask, he calmly looked back at Professor Wen, waiting to hear what he would say.
Professor Wen glanced in the direction of the stairs to make sure that the others were not paying attention to the two of them, and then lowered his voice.
He suddenly changed the topic, and said in a mysterious way, "But God, this supreme title, after all, is only what human beings think and create. And the guy who is called God, as far as he is concerned, does not have the duty of blessing or protection to mankind. β
Mo Chen raised his eyebrows unconsciously, although he didn't have any religious beliefs, Professor Wen called God "guy", and the arrogance and contempt unintentionally revealed in his light speech were extraordinary.
Mo Chen was silent, and listened to Professor Wen continue, "So! There has to be a balance in everything, and if human beings want something from God, they will have to lose something else.
And the so-called lost thing, our ancestors also gave it a name - that is, sacrifice. β
Professor Wen then turned the topic back to Mo Chen, saying, "As a descendant of God, you want to inherit the power of God, so in addition to studying hard, worshiping God, and being pious, what sacrifice do you make to your god?" β
Mo Chen shook his head, not daring to agree, "No, professor, I can't agree with this." The reason why God is called a god and not a devil is rooted in his selflessness and great love, not that people give something to God in exchange for God's protection.
As you say, God can fulfill all people's wishes, so how can he, who is so powerful, need people to contribute anything to him? Do you think he needs it? β
"You're so naΓ―ve!" Professor Wen waved his hand again and again in disappointment: "If the gods are loving, then why didn't the gods in your mouth ever reach out to you?" Others may not know, but as a descendant of God, don't you still have enough experience?
Just like now, when a small stone wall is blocking your way to life, can you pray to your god now and ask him to save you? Save us all? β
"Maybe I can try." Mo Chen said stubbornly.
Professor Wen stared at Mo Chen's eyes incredulously, didn't speak for a long time, and held back for a long time before he said, "Okay, let's not talk about such an illusory topic, let's talk about business."
Now, I have a way to save us all, don't you want to hear about it? β
"I'm sorry, Professor. If your solution is to sacrifice someone, or to sell your soul at the expense of others, then let the younger generation say it bastardly...... I really don't want to hear it. Mo Chen said firmly, and stood up with his hands on the ground.
Professor Wen stood up excitedly, staggering to block Mo Chen's way, obviously very anxious, but he wanted to lower his voice and hurriedly said, "Now there is a way in front of you, you can save yourself, and you can also save all of us out." Because of your stubbornness, will you cut us all at risk? β
Mo Chen trembled all over, stunned in place, Professor Wen softened his tone, and said, "I can see that you are different from other gods, as long as you sacrifice a soul to your god, he will definitely agree to help us out." β
Mo Chen didn't answer, Professor Wen thought he was worried, so he hurriedly followed, "It's just a soul, it doesn't have to be yours, you can ......" Professor Wen said, his eyes swept to the others present
Mo Chen tilted his head sideways and asked suspiciously, "Why am I different?" β
Professor Wen smiled and said in a tacit tone, "Your god lives in your body." β
Mo Chen's heart was exposed, and he turned sideways and squeezed past Professor Wen, not wanting to have any more conversations with him.
Mo Chen walked in the direction where Li Fang was, Professor Wen unwillingly caught up with two steps, and said in a low voice, "Think about it again." β
......
In the time that followed, Mo Chen barely spoke, everyone was hungry now, and no one cared why Mo Chen's mood was so lost.
The excavation was tired, and everyone lay on the ground again, only Li Chao was still very stubborn and continued to struggle against the rubble wall. Fortunately, the curtain was lowered from heaven, and he finally found a way to dig a gap the size of a dog's hole, and the gravel and soil did not continue to slide.
Feeling tired, Mo Chen leaned against the wall, looking like he was asleep. In fact, he went to see Zeus, and in the dark space of his mind, Zeus sat proudly on the silver throne, looking at him indifferently.
Mo Chen stepped forward and pleaded, "I need your help." β
Zeus smiled coldly, raised his hand, and a silver wine glass appeared, shook it gently, and took a sip to show a satisfied smile.
"Sacrifices?" Zeus raised his hand and motioned to Mo Chen.
Mo Chen frowned, "Did you hear that?!" β
Zeus didn't speak, he looked at Mo Chen with a smile, and the answer was self-evident.
Mo Chen sighed and asked in frustration, "Does the god also want to reach out to his followers to ask for offerings like demons?" β
There was a snap, it was the sound of the wine glass falling to the ground, Zeus's figure swayed, stood in front of Mo Chen, and grabbed Mo Chen's throat.
"Who do you think you're talking to?" Zeus said viciously.
Mo Chen was choked in the throat, his breathing became more and more difficult, and he squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth with difficulty, "Kill me, you will also disappear......"
Zeus increased the strength of his hands, and his face distorted with anger: "You think too much! With a host like you, I want as much as I want. β
Mo Chen reluctantly squeezed out an ugly smile, "Your business, righteousness is ...... Told me...... In my inner world...... Is...... Fight like Kilkenny cats. β
"Yes!" Zeus suddenly said faintly, his cold hand, and Mo Chen, who pinched it, could clearly hear the sound of his bones being misaligned.
Mo Chen closed his eyes, if Zeus really wants his life, then come! He is not capable of being an enemy of God, but he will not sell his soul in order to survive.
