Chapter 8: The So-Called Faith

"Why?" said Dawn in a timely manner. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"First, because the number of intelligent beings like the human race in ancient times who were suitable for cultivating souls and spreading beliefs was too small, even if they collected souls, they were far less fast than directly collecting the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The other is that if you want to collect souls, the best way is to start cultivating them from the early stage of the soul, such as the Buddha nature of Buddhism and the divinity of Christianity. The sooner the soul is cultivated, the more compatible it will be with the corresponding god system, and the more pure power it will bring. But the time and energy required for the cultivation of the soul are too long, and the soul is too susceptible to contamination and demagoguery, and the progress will be wasted at every turn, so there are no mythical lives in ancient times to do such thankless things. ”

"Actually, it means that in ancient times, there was enough spiritual energy, so even if you didn't need to work, you could have enough food and clothing, and there were more than enough cultivation resources or something. So no one wants to suffer and suffer the idea of cultivating a soul. The gods of the Middle Ages were like herding sheep or planting crops, nurturing the souls of believers from an early age, so that they could grow according to their own needs and eventually reap the harvest. It is no wonder that Christians proclaim Jehovah as their shepherd, and they are not wrong at all. Dawn couldn't help but say indignantly that this kind of fact was really a bit difficult for the Terrans to accept, even if the perpetrator was a god.

"But those who can survive in such a desperate way are indeed some amazing characters, even I didn't expect it, but after more than 4,000 years, the human race has grown to such a large base, and such a total amount of souls is worth cultivating!" Bai Ze said thoughtfully.

"If you still want me to help you, I advise you to give up on that idea. It is no wonder that the wars between the Terran faiths have become more and more cruel and bloody since the Middle Ages. It turned out that it involved the survival of the gods themselves. It seems that those so-called seductive devils are the competitors who have been eliminated in the god war!" Chen Xi said to Bai Ze with a rare toughness.

"Don't worry, I'm a holy beast of the human race. Moreover, the current world has already been completely divided by these medieval god systems, and I don't have time to re-operate it. You didn't notice that even these ancient gods no longer control their own followers now, but instead gather strength to prepare for the catastrophe! Bai Ze laughed.

Chenxi couldn't help but be stunned: "No wonder there is a general lack of faith in all countries now, it turns out that the gods have no time to take care of it! It's really ironic, the long-awaited soul freedom has been obtained in this way, but the world is more chaotic and impetuous!"

"The price of unlimited freedom must be infinite chaos, as has been the case since time immemorial. But then again, what did you mean by mentioning Jehovah? Is that the weapon called the "gun" stained with his blood?

"Well, his son's blood, to be exact. However, Christianity claims to be the Trinity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, so the essence should be the same. The Son's name is Jesus, and he is supposed to be what you call the agent of the human race that the Lord is looking for, and later attained immortality. But in the course of his mission, he was betrayed to Judaism by his own disciples and then crucified. To verify that he was dead, the executing Roman soldier Longinus pierced him in the heart with his spear, and the blood flowed down with the spear, giving the spear an indestructible and divine power. Dawn struggled to recall this account.

"Is this the 'gun'?" Bai Ze had never seen this kind of weapon, and he had always been a little curious about it.

"Of course not, this is the crystallization of modern industrial civilization. The Roman Emperor Constantine made Christianity the state religion and was invincible with the gun of Longinus, which became the object of grabbing by countless kings. With the split of Christian doctrine, the guns were kept in separate churches in three parts under the combined effect of politics and theocracy. A few decades ago, Germany had risen a mad ruler who once thought it was the spear that bestowed on him mystical powers. So, after he gained state authority, he took the fragments of this gun in Germany for himself. The man's name was Adolf Hitler, and his initials were "A? H", my favorite opera is Valkyrie. This man provoked a huge war, and although he was eventually defeated, the fragments of the gun were returned to the WYN church by the victors. But there is another theory circulating in the market, that is, in order to get close to the artifact to gain power, Adolf used the power of black magic to forge the fragments of the gun into a private matching gun, and thus used the power of the artifact to avoid several death-defying assassinations, which should be the thing in front of him. Now it seems that the legend is true, so the fragments of the WYN Church are naturally fake!"

"It turns out that there are still such twists and turns, the soul on the gun should have been collected by him during the war?" Bai Ze asked with some urgency.

"Adolf thought he was the messenger of God Jehovah because of the favor of this gun, so he slaughtered the Jews with the slogan of pure race and revenge for Jesus, you know, the Jews are a people formed by religion and not blood, so his people are all Jews! Now it seems that it is not necessary to have another divine war!" "Dawn hates war and killing, and has no affection for these religions, which often cause global wars.

"How much?" Bai Ze asked cautiously.

"The official statistics are 6 million, but the actual data is only afraid of more, almost completely exterminating a nation. ”

"Shhh "I thought that those evil gods in ancient times were barbaric enough, but I didn't expect that the god wars after the Middle Ages were bloody to such an extent, it was really more civilized and barbaric, it seems that the pressure of survival has driven these gods crazy!" He was silent for a while, and then asked cautiously, "Can I discuss something with you?"

"What's wrong?" Chenxi's interest was a little low, he didn't feel the slightest pleasure at getting an artifact out of thin air, he didn't dare to hold this weapon that had been contaminated with more than 6 million souls now.

"These souls can be transformed into countless spiritual powers, and this gun can also restore the origin!" Bai Ze's voice was a little hesitant.

"Is that even you?" Dawn's voice trembled with anger.

"Or let them be entangled in pain like this all the time?" Bai Ze asked rhetorically.

"We can surpass them, let them be free, and become ......," Chenxi's retort couldn't help but be stunned.

"To be the nourishment of the gods, as they think they are, to live in the vain kingdom of heaven. After learning the nature of the gods, do you still believe them?"

"Are all the heavens of this world a lie?"

"Why do you ask me, at least in ancient times, there was no heaven. The human race of that era was born in nature and returned to nature. I also believe that in all ancient myths, there is only a secret kingdom of gods where gods live, and there is no kingdom of heaven for human souls. The so-called heaven, hell, and Elysium are all concepts that only existed after the emergence of medieval religions, so their essence is nothing more than the energy reserves prepared by the medieval gods for themselves. ”

"What about reincarnation? Is it also fake?"

"That's not it, a soul, only the source after removing emotions and memories is something like Reiki energy, this energy comes from the planetary pan-consciousness, which is unique to you naturally born species, and it is also beyond the reach of us mythical beings. However, the proportion of the soul origin in a complete soul will vary greatly depending on the environment in which the soul grows, so it is necessary to cultivate the soul. The more persistent and condensed a person's emotions and thoughts are, the purer and easier it is to peel off the source of his soul. In Christianity, for example, Jehovah's way of cultivating the soul is to exploit the good of the human heart, while the devil is to exploit the evil of the human heart. But the essence is the same, that is, to be able to better and more strip the soul source to gain power!"

"But what does this have to do with reincarnation?"

"It's very simple, after stripping off the soul origin, how to deal with those impurities, that is, the memories and emotions carried by the soul? Each god system is different, and in Kyushu it is what you call reincarnation, but the soul origin is stripped away, and these memories are scattered, so people sometimes encounter some familiar but never-before-seen scenes, which are derived from these memory fragments. ”

Dawn fell into a long silence, exhausted and painful. The soul, which is a free gift from nature to living beings, is now a resource that these so-called gods have plundered at will. How can you not let the morning light, who is also a human race, feel heartache.

"You mythical beings are like parasites attached to this world!" Chen Xi looked at Bai Ze indifferently.

"That's right, that's the nature of things. But it is not up to us to decide, whether it is to plunder the aura or the soul, it is actually the plundering of the origin of a life world. This is where our immortality comes from, just as there is light and shadow, and if natural pan-consciousness represents creation and growth, we represent plunder and destruction. We live and die together, but we can't quit and escape!"

"If I choose to stand on the opposite side of the medieval gods, will you still be willing to help me?" Chen Xi said after a moment of silence, he could see that there were differences in mythological life, some plundered just to survive, and like Bai Ze, they were willing to live in peace with nature. Some are completely selfish, like many ancient gods, who take souls away and are unscrupulous.

"Why not, as long as you don't deliberately seek death. I'm willing to make peace, and in your words, it can be regarded as beating local tyrants and dividing the land. Bai Ze agreed without hesitation, in his thinking, robbing robbers is a matter that is not burdensome and profitable. "So, let's start with this!"
