"Daddy, I'm back. ”

Throwing the dead pig-like Trump back into his rust-dusty lair, the pink wings of myth carried Ratis back to the warm and secluded Rose Manor in the cold winter night.

Albert, who was concentrating on reading, responded to his greeting with a calm nod as always, and Laces had long been accustomed to his attitude, taking off his coat while talking to himself about the surprise harvest that he had pressed for a long time today.

"Dad, a lot has happened today. ”

"Well, it's handled pretty well, although it seems a bit nosy to me. ”

"You got it?"

"Of course, as long as I haven't left this plane, what happens around you won't escape my eyes. ”

That's a chilling statement······ But there is one thing you must not know, I actually received the belief of the townspeople in me, and because of this, I have my own original magic text! Even my spiritual power has improved a lot, and it is the first time I know that I have such a way to improve my strength······"

"Pak~"

The sound of heavy books falling on the table interrupted Radius' chatter with interest.

He looked back blankly, only to see the gloom on Albert's face—the first time he had seen such an expression on his face.

"How... What's wrong······ Is it?"

Albert exhaled lightly, calmed his mood for a moment, and then warned him in an unprecedentedly stern tone: "If you still want to live in peace, then you should never try something like this again, it is not a good thing for you." ”

Latis was shocked in his heart at the moment, he never thought that Albert would react like this after knowing about this, which made him can't help but ask:

"Why? Is there any hidden danger to the power obtained in this way?"

"No, or rather, to make a meritorious deed, to create a reputation, to win the hearts of the people, to accumulate faith······ These are the regular ways for the Son of God who has a divine fire or godhead to become a god, and it is also the way for most gods to attain, but ······

Because you are our son, a relative of the members of the Holy Mountain, and sooner or later you will face your own identity, and the Holy Mountain does not allow the appearance of selfish gods under their management, and if you embark on the path of becoming a god, you must abandon your own existence before becoming a god, and your mother and I have taken you out of the Holy Mountain to avoid this, do you understand what I mean?"

Ladison was silent, he actually had some guesses, after all, he was still mentally intelligent when he was born, and he still remembered the scene in the tower at that time, but he knew too little and didn't understand it deeply, but now it seems that his previous thoughts were too natural.

The idea of relying on the power of the divine fire to get the people's faith and strengthen themselves turned out to be the routine that the gods who had done enough great deeds and then unified their beliefs and ignited the divine fire to become gods should have, and it turned out that they had unconsciously embarked on the road to becoming gods?

Maybe that would be good, but Albert's explanation poured cold water on him.

Because of the existence of the holy mountain, if he wants to become a god, he must abandon his ego side?

I'm sorry, but if that's the case, then why am I still a god! No matter how powerful a god is, it's just a special machine!

Ratis was just a mortal, he really couldn't do such an enlightenment, and he couldn't understand such a reality.

"Why? Does the gods have to be selfless beings without ego······? Not a little bit of humanity?"

Albert shook his head heavily: "I know what you think, indeed, it is not that there are no gods who maintain selfish desires and selfishness, in fact, there are many such gods, and the seven gods who manage the plane we are in now are the gods who maintain a certain self, that is because they have become gods before the Holy Mountain has taken over this plane, and after the Holy Mountain discovered this plane, these gods have not committed major and It may be impossible for the Holy Mountain to destroy the mistakes of the order before it collapses, and will only invite them to join the Pantheon and maintain a relationship of cooperation in managing the order of the plane.

But in the plane that has been taken over, the Holy Mountain does not allow the new gods to have selfish desires, it is an absolute rule. ”

Radis couldn't help frowning: "So absolutely, is the god with ego so threatening in their eyes?"

"I hope you can understand this, after all, the gods are plane managers with great power, if they can't be absolutely impartial, they will always make the behavior of management deteriorate, and in the long and endless time, no matter how small a probability event is, it will evolve into an irreparable big event, creating loopholes for the invasion of chaos, and eventually leading to the collapse of the plane. ”

"That's too mysterious, isn't it?"

"You haven't experienced anything like this, and it's normal to be incomprehensible. ”

Such a statement is obviously not satisfactory to Latis. You haven't experienced it, so you don't know, you just have to accept it obediently – that's the answer that most young people hate.

"I'm really sorry that experience limits my imagination, but isn't the world in front of me an example? The seven gods are all gods with their own self, isn't this world still good?"

"Do you really think it's good? What do you think the Zelota Empire rebelled against the gods hundreds of years ago? If there is no oppression, why would they rebel against the control of the gods?

Even in this era of peace, isn't there a lot of contradictions between the churches of the seven gods? If the gods who are truly selfless and act only on the basis of the peace and development of the plane are to manage this plane, then these contradictions will never occur, and there will be no struggle for faith, no forced brainwashing and preaching, no racial contradictions, and no even national divisions, and they will only make useful guidance, whether it is spiritual or material······ It is a world where the power of the future and life is truly in the hands of the masses······ Maybe I should take you to such a plane, and then you will understand the difference between the two. ”

"Well, I'm looking forward to what the day will be. ”

Radis pursed his lips, barely convinced.

Albert still stared at his eyes, and said word by word: "Promise me, except for those divine arts texts that you already have, you will not obtain such power again, and you will not show that you have the ability to restrain your faith in front of outsiders." ”

"Yes, I won't, after all, I don't want to be a tool to lose myself, and I don't want to be forced to become such a tool. ”

"That's good. ”

"It's time for me to go back to my room and continue exploring the ocean of magic, Father, you are right, it seems that magic can only be used as an aid to me, and magic is the way I should go······

Ah~, but I still want to thank the lovely townspeople again, thanks to them, I think my current mental power should be enough to break through the higher apprentices, let's take this step tonight, do you have any suggestions for this?"

"I just want to say I wish you success. ”

"Thank you. ”
