Chapter 18: Instability
"Childe's move is absolutely unacceptable. Huai Bo stopped: "A god has tried this trip in the past, and it is true that he has obtained this unrestricted divine power, but if you think about it, can he really do anything?"
"Since it is omnipotent, should the wishes that mortals make to the gods in their daily lives be fulfilled?"
"When every mortal is in danger, ask the gods to bless him, can the omnipotent gods come down to the rescue?"
"Shouldn't every mortal god of all kinds, needs, and omnipotence be fulfilled for it?"
"If you can't do it. Huai Bo sneered: "The gods will be questioned, and as soon as there are many doubts, the believers who sacrifice to him will no longer agree, and even curse and resent, and if this power accumulates too much, it will easily cause the gods to collapse and the gods to fall." ”
"And mortal doubts are forgotten......"
Huai Bo said: "Ben Bo still remembers that it was the landlord of Cai Guo who shot at that time, and he only asked this god one sentence, since you are omnipotent, can you create a kind of supernatural power or thing that he can't create? ”
"Childe, as far as the gods are concerned, it's not that the more power and ability, the better. ”
Just like a mortal does things, the more he does things, the more people he affects, and the more he falls, the more he asks, and complains, and mortals who are not gods are just complained about, but their popularity is not good, and the gods must be unstable if they suffer too much complaining and questioning. ”
"This is the principle that it is better to do more wrong than not to do or do less. ”
"When Ben Bo fell in the source and the Dragon Palace was destroyed, he saw the water demon of the water vein in Huai Shang rampant, so he simply subdued the water demon and restrained it, so he got the sacrifice of the Huaishang people, and was considered to be Huai Bo, who had the ability to control the water vein in Huaishang. ”
"After that, Ben Bo didn't need to do more in Huaishui, as long as he maintained the existing order in Huaishui, no one could question me. ”
"And the smaller the range of capabilities. In the future, there will be more and more room for development, just like Gongzi's proposal to change Benbo's name to the river lord, this is the expansion, and in the future, Benbo will be sacrificed to other rivers outside the Huaidi. There is a fact out of Huaidi, and then the name can be changed, and the name can gradually get rid of the limit of a place. ”
"Childe, because of the power of the gods, it is within the scope of the knowledge of the sacrifices. ”
"There are many people in Huai, and Benbo has accumulated for thousands of years. Even if the divine power is not under those gods, even if it is called the river lord and has the approval of the Huai Shang people, the power is still only in the Huai land. ”
"I see. Saying this, Wang Yue thought very far, according to Huaibo's theory, it is not difficult to become a god. At least it's not difficult for a great supernatural or equivalent realm person who has refined the form, it's just a matter of window paper.
Therefore, there should have been gods on the earth, and the founders of that kind of religion are most likely the gods of the past, and their religious theories are much more complete than the crude legal principles of the gods and the earth in this world, and there have even been more glorious periods in history.
But where did they all go?
Unconsciously, Wang Yue felt a little disappointed in his heart, just like his mood after reading the secret of the temple collection, and there was no joy when he first heard the mysteries of the gods.
The world is changing, and society is progressing. The times are developing, and the ancient things are not necessarily good, but more are eliminated, and the Shinto on the earth is far more developed and perfect than in this world. It may just be eliminated.
The dependence of the gods on the human heart, and the conditioning of the human heart, is far greater than he had imagined in the past.
But the human heart is the most unreliable and volatile thing in the world.
Power can sway him, power can oppress him, lies can deceive him, reason can persuade him, and interests can tempt him......
If there is power. In ancient times, the Son of Heaven could seal the god of nothingness with a word, and he could also brand the true god into evil worship and obscenity.
If there is power, it can force mortals to obey and believe, or it can make them spurn and convert.
If there is a lie, the three of them will become tigers, and they will be constantly brainwashed, which can wash people to the point of brain-dead and make people believe in gods that do not exist.
It can also spread rumors and spread rumors, causing the resentment of all the people to pull the gods down from the altar.
......
From the perspective of people's hearts, Wang Yue can think of too many directions for casting and slaughtering gods, and he can even think of more constraints on the gods.
By extension, if a god really wants to be immortal, he must have power, that is, divine power is higher than the law in the hearts of people, or divine law is the law of the land, establish a kingdom of ********, have a strong force sufficient to suppress and resist everything, compile a strict relative truth and righteousness that can keep pace with the times, and pass it on to all believers through countless priests and priests, so as to deal with lies, and must be able to benefit the people for a long time, and must not lead to suffering in the world...
It's just that it's easy to complete a few of them, but it's hard to complete them.
If it is not complete, the foundation will be unstable, and sooner or later it will fall off the altar.
In ancient times, no religion could do this, and it was inevitable that the relevant Shinto system would be eliminated by the development of the times.
"The gods are so powerful and immortal, and they can be so restricted by the mortal world?
Seeing Wang Yue silently, Huai Bo smiled at him and said: "It is precisely because of so many restrictions that the gods must build a temple after casting the god position, which can not only regulate people's hearts through the temple, but also make it inconvenient for many gods and priests who make the power of the temple to do things, and they can also be done by the forces under the temple." ”
"What is inconvenient for the temple to do, it can be done by the influence of the temple or by supporting other forces. ”
"In addition to building a temple, you must also use the immortal power of the gods to create a more and more powerful and perfect god body for yourself. ”
"The true body of the gods?" Listening to Huai Bozhi's description, Wang Yue's heart moved: "Is it the powerful body of the adult now?"
"Yes, that's it. Huai Bo replied, "Unlike the power of the gods to gather people, the true body of the gods is the power of the individual's body, so that the gods can not only exert their divine power in this body, but also get rid of some of the restrictions of the gods in the gods." ”
"For example, if Ben Bo is only Huai Bo, he can't leave Huaishui at all, but with this real body, he can be no different from ordinary people, and he can go anywhere in the world, but out of Huai Shui, Ben Bo can only rely on the magic power of his true body, and he can no longer obtain the blessing of divine power. ”
"In the face of the collapse of the divine throne, with this true body, it can also tear apart part of the spiritual origin, and retreat to the true body after giving up the divine position. ”
"Although this method will cause the spiritual origin to be temporarily created, but with the power of the true body, it is not difficult to recover, as long as the temple and sacrifice are not dispersed, the divine position can be easily recast, so the true body is extremely necessary for the gods. ”
"Just like Ben Bo's real body of the tortoise, it is Ben Bo's thousands of years of achievements in integrating the advantages of the human body and the tortoise, although the body is a human body, but it has the ability to evolve all kinds of water spells, and when needed, it can also incarnate into a tortoise to increase its strength, and it has also gained the longevity of the tortoise for 1,200 years.
"Although it is extremely difficult to conceive with this body, the offspring born naturally has strength and bloodline, and it has a strong affinity for the power of Bember and has no rejection. ”
"For example, most of the power and blood in the bodies of the princes and doctors today can be traced back to which god in ancient and modern times. ”
Wang Yue nodded, compared to the various dependences and constraints of the gods on people's hearts, this is good news.
But he was thinking, could it be that the method of refining immortals in the existing several major cultivation sects on the earth was actually the technique of the ancient gods to create a true body?
If you think about it carefully, the foundation of Shinto is difficult to stabilize, so it will be eliminated, but the immortal path that casts the true body of the gods only asks for individuals, and there is no other dependence on the outside.
Next, Huai Bo talked to Wang Yue about many taboos for gods.
Because he knew the mysteries of the gods, he had guesses, and these things were very simple for him to understand, and the more he understood the existence of the gods, and the deeper he understood, even if he was greedy for their immortal characteristics, the more he realized that this way could not be easily involved, and to get involved, it was necessary to deduce and plan carefully.
