Chapter 181: The Divine Dilemma
Hearing the other party describe the powerful god with the word pitiful worm, everyone present had a sense of absurdity.
Their reaction was evidently not in a way that the prophet had anticipated, and she said, "Does that sound incredible? Do you know what God is?"
It's this question again, a similar question, Priest Roland, the chief priest of the royal capital, asked Xiao Chen once, the short-lived queen of the elves, the super saint Daheni, asked him once, and now the real god in front of him actually came to ask him. And this time in the face of the gods themselves, Xiao Chen felt that it was particularly difficult to answer, he pondered for a moment and said: "I think it is the gap in the energy level, your level of mastery and mobilization of energy is much stronger than mine. But your way of thinking is quite close to ours, at least there is no communication barrier between us. ”
"Yes, energy. But in my opinion, it's not a question of how much energy there is, it's a question of how much energy I have to do with it. If you humans are beings who control energy, God is a life that is dominated by energy. You've heard Icazar explain to you the difference between magic and divine power, and that's true, but more importantly, gods made of divine power have a great thirst for energy. This is not the kind of thirst that you humans like to get stronger. It is the thirst of hungry beasts in the wilderness to find food, the thirst of addicts in that world who are addicted to drugs, and every god has this instinctive desire to get more magic to strengthen his body. Let yourself be on the path to becoming a stronger energy body. ”
Those present noticed that the Prophet was skillfully using the words of their world, but they did not know whether the other person had spied on their memories like a scholar, or if they had acquired this knowledge from somewhere else.
"Strengthening oneself, isn't it a way of evolution?" Ye Zi asked.
"If an individual devotes most of his energy to strengthening his body, how much of his energy will be spent understanding the nature of the world and changing the way the whole world works? In nature, it is the stupid beasts who want to evolve a strong body and sharp teeth and claws, and then live in this world in a daze. Isn't it ironic that what God is seeking is so similar to a wild boar?" the Prophet pointed to his head, "True intelligent beings use this to make themselves stronger, and the source of strength is the understanding of the world. ”
"Then don't you gods think and invent?" Xiao Chen asked.
The Prophet said, "Of course we will, I am not saying that we are real beasts. But like you said, our way of thinking is very similar to yours, and that dictates that if we want to really make a difference, we have to have a society, a whole, as our foundation. There must be enough companions to work with us.
There are many gifted scholars and inventors in the history of mankind, and there is no one who did not complete his creation on the basis of the entire human society. People always have to learn from each other, promote, inspire and compete. It takes many, many people to contribute their ingenuity and wisdom, and it takes the hard work of generations to accumulate.
But how many gods are there? the god of nature, the god of war, the god of death, the god of wisdom, and me. Every god has a finite talent and interest, and how many of them will have to be a man of human beings who likes to study knowledge? How many of them can become truly great scholars? Not necessarily one out of tens of thousands, right? But we are only five gods, and in fact, none of us have the interest to explore the world.
The god of nature likes to grow flowers and grass, cultivate monsters and subspecies, the world tree is the mutated plant he created, and the elves are the gardeners he uses to cultivate plants.
The god of war's favorite thing is fighting, as well as watching humans attack cities and destroy countries, those war angels were originally cultivated by him to lead humans to attack each other. He used to have these war angels join different countries and then start wars, until in the end only one country remained.
The pleasure of the Grim Reaper is to modulate the human soul, and he uses the souls of the dead or the living to create various illusions, whether it is the Tower of Dreams or the Tower of Spirits, or the inheritance of those necromancers, it has an inexplicable relationship with him.
The god of wisdom always finds pleasure in the intrigues of humans, and court struggles are his favorite plays, and he will even send avatars into human society to cause trouble in it. In fact, what is more in line with what he does should be the title of the god of conspiracy.
I'm quieter and like to slowly observe how human beings evolve and change over the course of history, but I don't go to the foreground to influence them, so that's why I don't know about it.
We gods possess immortal power, but in addition to devouring more magic, we just do these worthless things boringly year after year. The world has not become any better because of our existence, how can this kind of life be incorruptible?"
The hobbies of these gods made Xiao Chen and the others very uncomfortable to listen to, but they also knew that for that kind of powerful existence, it was also a natural result that they would use humans as tools and toys. Even if the person in front of her is really as quiet and kind as she said, it is an unknowable thing. Xiao Chen asked, "If you don't like things like research, then why don't you use the power of humans?"
The Prophet shook his head and said, "Except for the five of us, the others, whether they are demigods or saints, are far from being on the same energy level as us. Our needs for new technologies are as different as those of humans and ants. When humans are studying how to destroy a stone with a single magic, we can turn the stone into powder with a single thought, when we want to fly out of the planet, we don't know it's round, we want to study the nature of the superposition of divine power to form a body, but this is not how humans use energy. Even if one day we use them to find out the secrets of our bodies, we don't know if humans will eventually use it to destroy us or transform us.
Even if the five of us are more powerful in calculation than ordinary people, what is the use? Without the collision of ideas, we are just five unfathomable pools of stagnant water. ”
"I see what you mean," Luo Ling said, "in your opinion, only people or gods of equal strength will have similar needs and bases for communication, and only when their numbers reach a certain scale can it be possible to collide with the spark of thinking together and stimulate their creativity." ”
