803. About faith
Oh, and this matter, Zhou Ke'er forgot about it - the reason why that guy is so strong, and he can even directly break through the space of the Divine Academy and forcibly enter, is precisely because he forcibly occupies the position of the will of the world.
So it just so happens that he alone is equivalent to the faith of an entire world. Good guys, that's a lot of money.
Zhou Keer and Chen Tian withdrew from the faith space and returned to Chen Tian's dormitory. Chen Tian still had an expression that was a little suspicious of the world, looking at Zhou Ke'er incredulously, and couldn't think of what this guy in front of him had done to make a supreme existence in the subworld, the will of the world, believe in him.
"However, I did not become a god when I got his faith, but after I gained a person's faith in reality, I obtained divinity."
Zhou Keer asked again in a blink of an eye: "You should also see that there are a lot of them, or most of them are NPCs in this game...... Can this also be considered a true believer? ”
Chen Tian looked at him with a strange expression: "You don't still think that the NPCs in this game are all data or something, right?" Not to mention what their essence is, just from the fact that the boundary between the game world and the real world has been broken, these NPCs have been infinitely close to the real "people". And...... Maybe the "humans" in this game may be a little more pure-blooded than the "humans" in reality. ”
Ah, that's true. Most of the humans in reality are mixed with evil, and pure humans are very rare, but it seems that there is no such distinction in the game.
"As for why they didn't become gods after gaining the faith of these NPCs, this is better understood. It's better to say that it is impossible to obtain the divine position by grabbing one's own faith in this game world...... Do you really think those guys up there don't care about anything? The premise of what I said from the beginning was all in the real world, didn't you hear it? ”
Chen Tian then continued to explain: "Let's not talk about the artificially created world like the game world, from the origin point of view, there is no share of gods outside the established program, even if there is, it must be issued by those so-called "administrators", do you think it is possible for them to distribute it to you?" So you've been at a tipping point where you have enough faith, but you can't become a god.
In this case, you return to the real world and grab a faith that is not important in itself, but it is a bridge that blurs the lines and connects the vast amount of faith you have acquired in the game world. As a result, the will of the world in the real world perceives that you have fully met the criteria for becoming a god, and then it will naturally grant you the permission to become a god. ”
"Oh, I see! You have a point! ”
Zhou Ke'er suddenly realized, and instantly felt that he understood everything. No wonder, he said, originally he just wanted to use the "Xuanjun Seven Chapters of the Secret Sutra" to make Hu Tao his dependent, so as to repair her body, but he didn't expect to automatically skip this step directly after gaining faith and send him to become a god. In fact, even he himself did not expect such an outcome.
I didn't expect it to be a great help. Is this the charm of a senior licking dog?
"By the way, I have one more question."
Zhou Ke'er continued to ask: "I found in the world of faith that a few of those believers are simply dead and can't die anymore. Can the dead still offer faith as believers? ”
"Of course."
Chen Tian laughed out loud: "Isn't it normal that even such a thing as faith crystallization can exist, and the faith originally provided by the dead will not dissipate?" In fact, in the process of believers' beliefs, the resulting beliefs have been solidified into a certain form of energy, and what they originally gained will certainly not be automatically lost. It's just that dead believers don't have faith anymore – and, most importantly, ...... Where do you think those so-called resurrections came about?
At the same time, believers upload and store their "personal data" in the "terminal" of the world of belief in gods, and as long as they copy and extract it, regardless of the philosophical question of whether the person who copied it or not is not themselves, it is enough to call it resurrection. It's just that the consumption is not proportional to the gain, so basically no one or god does it. ”
Zhou Ke'er listened to Chen Tian's words, as if listening to a seat's words, nodded while showing a thoughtful look: "Why do you say this, you feel that the existence of God has instantly become science fiction?" The "data terminals" are all out, but it's okay. ”
"It's just a metaphor. Is there anything else? ”
Chen Tian leaned back to the head of the bed, reached out and picked up the book he had just put down, obviously after experiencing Fang Cai's surprise, and now he had quickly calmed down - after all, the other party was Zhou Ke'er, and it was normal for any inexplicable situation to occur.
Besides, when it comes to abnormality, she, who was possessed by an existence that traveled through the old era, and now even went to a place like "God Academy" to study, which is outrageous when she hears it, is obviously not a normal person. Nothing to fuss about.
"A few last questions, a few last questions."
Zhou Ke'er hurriedly asked, "Then what if the believer repents on his own?" He didn't want to continue to believe in the gods he originally believed in, and if he apostatized, would that affect the faith that was originally generated by him? ”
"Oh? I'm not sleepy if you talk about it, it's really a topic worth studying. ”
Chen Tian suddenly sat up again and put down the book: "Logically speaking, purely from logic and theory, the original belief has been solidified into an energy form, and whether the believer continues to believe in the future should have no impact on it." But here comes a very idealistic point - when believers cease to believe, and when they convert to other religions, the original beliefs disappear.
My personal understanding is that the energy generated by each believer through faith is stored in his "data" located in the world of faith, and he converts to other gods, that is, he voluntarily deletes the "data" that was originally "uploaded" to you. ”
Zhou Ke'er scratched his head, he just asked for a conclusion, but he didn't expect Chen Tian to answer such a long list.
In a word, that is: after gaining the believer's faith, kill the believer, the faith will not change and disappear, but if the believer himself converts, it will disappear.
Wow, isn't that obvious what to do? For the existence of uncertainty, just exhaust the water and fish, and it will be over!
Zhou Keer said that she had completely understood!
