Truth is at the heart of breaking down superstition. When people are ignorant and helpless, they instinctively turn to the gods for help. And in order to receive the help of the gods, people will be comforted by other believers. Thus not free.

Shen Xi was solemn, and so was Ruan An. Even the clown stopped talking. They all know the meaning of this entrustment.

"This guy is crazy. After a long time, the clown muttered under his breath. "Dig your own grave. ”

Nazareth's body began to dissipate from his feet, and the Holy Blood behind him stretched out a pair of huge hands from the cross, gently holding Longinus into the palm of his hand. The dissipated body turned into a grain of white light, submerged in the Holy Blood, which converged on the hands that held Longinus.

"When man seeks the truth, the authority of God will be overshadowed. Shen Xi said approvingly, "Encouraging believers to be self-reliant and promoting their development is the way of the old man." ”

"What you just said is self-contradictory. The clown clown clasped his hands on his chest, "If this kind of behavior would disgrace the authority of the gods, how can it be the way of the old man who is a god?"

Shen Xi glanced at the clown at his feet with some pity, "You just stole the godhead, but you've never tried the work of a god, right?"

"Work, do I look like someone who can work?" said the clown dismissively, "I'm not interested in that kind of thing at all." ”

"So you can't understand the wisdom of Nazareth. Shen Xi looked at the dissipating prophet and said with feeling, "This is an excellent way to be lazy. ”

"Lazy?"

Ruan An smiled, "The work of the gods is very complicated. Every day, countless believers pray in need of an answer. However, once believers are able to become self-reliant, they will naturally become less dependent on the gods. By the time they are able to face disasters and difficulties on their own, the number of prayers they need to deal with each day will naturally decrease considerably. That's the perfect way to be lazy. ”

"Pointless. The Joker's criticism was very stubborn, "and as a result, fewer and fewer people believed in the gods, and his power as a barbarian god became weaker and weaker." ”

"Who said that?" Shen Xi smiled, "When Nazareth was still alive, there were only 100 million people in the world. Among them, there are only tens of thousands of people who believe in him. But with the progress of human self-improvement, the population of the whole of Gaia today exceeds 7 billion, and 2 billion of them regard Nazareth as their savior. Shen Xi looked a little emotional, "If Nazareth is still alive, I'm afraid he will become the most powerful barbarian god in the entire C173 world." ”

Yet he died. Now give all the inheritance to that centurion. The clown looked at the holy blood ball that was gradually absorbed by Longinus, "The bamboo basket is empty. ”

So, Nazareth was different from all the other barbarian gods. Shen Xi looked at the sarcophagus with respect in his eyes, "From the beginning, he didn't intend to spread his doctrine to other places through violence, or to seek any benefits for himself through religion. His fundamental purpose has always been only one, to save as many ordinary souls as possible who are lost in life. This purpose continued throughout his life, even after his death. ”

The chamber was filled with a chant, and a white light suddenly filled the chamber, and the centurion's short hair turned into the same long flaxen hair as Nazareth's. He had a red pattern on his forehead, which looked like the mark of the crown of thorns on Nazareth's head. Red circles appeared on both hands and feet, as if they had been left by hanging on a cross.

The light faded away, and the centurion landed lightly on the ground. He stretched out his hands, looked at the stigma left on them, and laughed in a low voice, "This is going to be put in a cell when I still have a job, and other colleagues will directly put me in a cell for torture." ”

"Looks like you're in pretty good shape. Shen Xi picked up the centurion's short spear on the ground and handed it to him, "I'm still in the mood to joke." ”

"I have inherited everything from Nazareth. The centurion's eyes were calm and resolute, which were replaced by humor, "and he has never been discouraged even when he was hung on the cross, so what right do I have to be sad? His mantle has been officially inherited, Gaia has gained his own barbarian god, and I have a role to play in your fight against the Wendus. What's not to be happy about?"

Ruan An took out a bottle of wine from his personal space, "Take a sip? to celebrate your becoming a barbarian god." ”

"Oh, of course. The centurion smiled gently, "It is said that every bottle of wine in the world is the result of the blood of Nazareth. I'm going to taste it and see how his blood differs from those holy bloods. ”

The cork spontaneously jumped out of the bottle under Ruan An's gaze, and the dark red liquor swayed in the bottle. The centurion took the bottle directly, poured two sips into his mouth, and showed a satisfied smile, "It tastes really good." The blood of the gods is so delicious, I even want to forgive the sins of the vampires - they really have no reason to resist such a delicious taste, do they?"

"Jokes can be kept on until they're over. Shen Xi interrupted his pleasure, "The Fourth Fleet has agreed to my request, and the Federation Computer will speak to me directly. I'll talk to the computer by myself in a minute, and you'll hide here first. If it is not negotiated, I will let Ruan An issue an order, and then I can only trouble you to act outside. ”

"I hope that as soon as you step into the battleship, you will be beaten into a sieve by the wrath of the barbarians." I'd love to fight those Wendu people in the open. ”

"I wish you success. The centurion shoved the short spear in his hand back into Shen Xi's hand, "I don't need this thing anymore, but you might be able to put them to use." ”

The golden spear has a lot of weight. When Shen Xi held the body of the spear with his hand, the short spear itself was slightly elongated and became more comfortable.

"It had pierced Nazareth's body. This gives it the power to hurt the gods. The centurion explained to Shen Xi, "In front of its spearhead, nothing can stop its power. But you need to be careful, if you are captured by your opponent, they will also gain the ability to damage you. It's important to pay attention. ”

Shen Xi weighed the short spear a few times with satisfaction, and after thanking the centurion, he directly pressed the short spear on the chest of the clown doll.

"What are you doing?" asked the clown calmly, "are you going to cross the river and tear down the bridge?" let me remind you, there is still a fleet of Wendu people in the sky, do you really think they will listen to you?"

"I can't do that kind of thing. Shen Xi smiled and threatened, "Return my Blue Shadow Sword." Otherwise, I'll make a few clear holes in your chest. ”
