Chapter 119: Too Many Gods (1/2)
"Huaiguang...... A godslayer?"
Ian was stunned for a moment, then slowly repeated, "The one who killed the outer gods?"
At this moment, Ian even wanted to laugh a little - the Huaiguang Sect, the most prestigious of the four major orthodox churches of Terra, was actually a god killer? Sounds so weird.
But when he thinks about it, he understands somewhat.
The God of the Huaiguang Church 'Huaiguang' does not have a specific image, that is, the so-called 'no idols,'
At its core, it is an illusory concept, an insistence on faith, in the sense that the God of Light is with all the priests who uphold the teachings, and the divine power of their gods is the spiritual power of the Priesthood of Vision.
However, the god in the mouth of the spirit of the sea of trees is different, and the god in the mouth of the robe has a specific image, and even has a physical body and exists as a 'god of reality,...... It is an existence similar to that of the ceremonial priest and the sacrificial spirit, a living being, a life that can be seen, perceived, and affected by reality.
For example, Shenmu.
Ian could roughly guess the image of the Spirit of the Sea of Trees on the Robe Planet...... That is the living will of an entire ecosystem, the spirit of the divine tree controls the ecology of the entire planet, and it is enough to exterminate all life races with a single thought, but the robes did not do that, but let many intelligent beings coexist with the pools, and even provide convenience for them.
In this way, all things that live in the wilderness of the sea of trees will naturally worship as 'gods' the beings that have given them all the prosperity.
Although they are a common word, the two gods are very different.
As for the so-called outer gods......
"Could it be an alien god as the name suggests?"
Ian complained in his heart.
But that's not surprising either.
Just as the same deceased king can take all his people away from the original planet and become the spirit fire after becoming a spirit god, in a planet where there are gods, of course, there will be beings like the spirit of the sea of trees, who use the gods as the fire and carry everything in their hometown to another land.
In a sense, it is also a kind of salvation ark, a fire for God.
Even if there are not many such fires, there are more than a thousand fires in the ghost place of Terra, even if it is one-tenth or one-twentieth, there are dozens or hundreds of outer gods.
In this way, Huaiguang really needs to kill it, otherwise Terra, who was originally dancing with demons, is really dancing with gods and demons.
And the next words of the Spirit of the Sea of Trees confirm this.
[Our life forms are different from most of the life forms in this universe]
The tall statue of Our Lady lowers her eyes slightly, and the blades of the robe can accurately imitate any kind of human posture, but there is a divine compassion that is beyond human beings: [We are the collection of many lives, we are the convergence of many souls, we are the life born of life, and we are the will behind the entire ecosystem]
[For example, an existence like ours that integrates the ecology of the entire planet and dominates it is the so-called 'God,']
[When we become a wilderness completely, the whole wilderness will fluctuate because of our breathing]
[It is not a bad thing to have a planet like us - there are many intelligent races that thrive in our realm, and we help each other, support each other, and let each other grow to a higher state]
[But in Terra,' God, is not welcome]
Speaking slowly, the tone of the Spirit of the Sea of Trees carried a hint of helplessness: [Because]
[There are too many gods]
Hearing this, Ian couldn't hold back a little.
yes, Terra's gods, but there are too many.
Not to talk about the four major orthodox religions, aren't the powerhouses of the fifth level the gods of the world? With such a god in existence, the Spirit of the Sea of Trees slowed down during the beginning.
Moreover, according to the spirit of the sea of trees, there are many life forms similar to the pools, which can also be regarded as 'gods,'.
For example, Ian had heard of 'Karin's Flower', and 'Hive'.
The flower of Karin is rooted in the sea of human souls, or the souls of all intelligent beings
A super psionic creature in the sea, it can assimilate the souls of all beings into a part of itself, and although it is still self-conscious, the soul has essentially become a sub-plant of the flower of Karin.
The so-called free will is meaningless in the face of a super-life like the Flower of Karin, which is not at all disdained to be deprived of - human beings are beings that can be influenced by the slightest hormones and a little hint of speech, and the self-consciousness of the non-sublimated person is essentially a feedback of the body, and the Flower of Karin, which has a soul, can make people think of it as a 'god' from the heart.
As a god, this is not insignificant.
Not to mention, the hive can devour the entire planet and turn everything into its own biomass, while the hive essentially has only one master, even if it is a special hive like the Ancestral Swarm that can divide into semi-autonomous hero units, its semi-autonomous individuals are also the descendants of the hive, and will naturally regard it as a 'god,'.
In this way, according to this algorithm, the number of outer gods on Terra ...... There are too many to count.
Coincidentally, whether it is the hive or the flower of Karin, there is Huaiguang to make a move, and even host.
Over the years, Ian knew that the Church of Huaiguang had wiped out more than a dozen hives, and similar cataclysmic creatures were estimated to have the same number...... According to this calculation, Huaiguang has killed more than thirty outer gods, and in addition to this, similar to the spirits of the sea of trees were warned by Huaiguang, so there must be more 'demigods' lurking in one place without acting openly.
In this way, Huaiguang's 'Gods-killing Dao System' is truly worthy of its name, and it is no wonder that the Spirit of the Sea of Trees is so cautious and even afraid.
- In the eyes of other alien gods and demigods, the Huaiguang Church is simply a super killer, eighty meters tall and eighty meters wide, with dozens of skulls hanging on his body as pendants, and asked the robes in a rough voice This group of small fry that has just woken up from the fire is still a god? ,
...... Could there be any other answer to this?
- Big brother, you have the final say, if you don't say it, I won't do it!
"Why did Huaiguang kill gods like this?"
After you can't hold it, you will naturally hold it. Ian managed his expression and asked appropriately, "I'm from Terra, but I'm still young, and I don't know much about this too old history...... The same is not true of Huaiguang's performance in human society."
"What is the difference between the Spirit of the Sea of Trees and the Light of the Sea for you and for humans?"
[There is no difference]
But the answer of the Spirit of the Sea of Trees was very surprising: [The strong man of Huaiguang back then, although he had the power to destroy me, did not do anything, but just told me one thing]
They said...... Closing his eyes, the tall statue of the Virgin whispered, "Whether the end is the final destruction of nothingness or the hopeful redemption"
Humanity needs to choose its own path.
Far away on the other side of the continent, under the majestic holy mountain.
Located three kilometers underground, the 'Doctrine of the End' is an extremely large spiral abyss, leading to a super-giant underground structure in the deepest part of the earth's crust, in which an almost eternal icy wind blows from its bottom, like the last breath of a dying god, bringing the sound of lamentation.
The three of Huijian, Ransom and Reflection walked silently on the spiral staircase of the Last Doctrine, slowly circling the deep abyssal void, feeling the cold underground wind rolling their sleeves as they walked step by step towards the deepest part of the sacred mountain.
That is, 'the truth, where it is.'
"We are not true light, we can't shine on all beings, humans are our chosen race, and they are also the native race on the continent of Terra, most of our members are from humans, and they do have extraordinary potential and wonderful wills - Huaiguang values human choices, and Huaiguang wants to know the end of humanity."
At this moment, Huijian's eyes shone with white spiritual brilliance, and he said in a strange tone, his voice echoing in the final dogma zone, "Huaiguang's true purpose is not to protect humanity, nor to protect humanity."
"The reason why Huaiguang fought against natural disasters and killed the outer gods was just to get rid of them
All external factors that affect the development of mankind itself."
Sister Dragonman listened in silence to the familiar and strange elder brother, saying key information that she had never known, but that made her feel suddenly clear.
"I see...... Therefore, Huaiguang is not light......
Yingguang muttered to herself, but she soon had doubts, "But Brother Huijian, according to what you said, the Huaiguang Priesthood will not do good deeds on weekdays, nor will they negotiate with human society...... We should be a hermit community, not a huge Orthodox Church that has a presence throughout Terra!"
"Because that's what humans choose."
Hui Jian said calmly, "If humanity needs Huaiguang to become an orthodox religion, Huaiguang will become an orthodox religion. It's like if humanity needs a god to worship, then Huaiguang won't be an enemy of a foreign god."
"Huaiguang doesn't care whether the end result of human choice is good or bad, Huaiguang just wants humans to make their own choice...... Whether it is weak or strong, whether it is an ordinary person or a sublimated person, we agree with how the beings of this world choose."
"But until all beings agree, we will prevent all calamities from coming, because a peaceful life is the greatest consensus of all beings."
"Hui Jian, you haven't revealed anything in the past......
Ransom muttered to himself, "I thought our relationship was really good buddy......
"It is precisely because we are true friends that we cannot tell you this."
Unmoved, the young and powerful priest with a good face said calmly, "There are some things that you can never return to normal when you know them, you can't pretend that you don't know them, you will think of them from time to time in the rest of your life, you will be terrified by this news, worried about this news, and your whole life will be changed."
"As I'm going to tell you part of the truth...... As long as you know, you will never be able to go back to your old life.
