Chapter 335: Two Accidents
Simon sighed: "At that time, the war between the East and the West escalated too much, and the two sides fought very fiercely, but as a result, it caused a huge disaster. You know, in that era, the two great races of the East and the West, they had very, very powerful power! In other words, they were all gods! And the human beings at that time were just tools that they made to absorb the energy of faith, for example, they were shepherds, and human beings were just sheep that they raised. ”
"The result was beyond our plans, the war between the two races was so large that it nearly wiped out the planet. Well, how did you record that mythical story in the East? It's the story of Nuwa mending the sky. Well, the two gods fought, and as a result, the sky was broken, and the fire outside the sky spilled in through the hole in the sky, and the world was facing destruction, right?" Simon smiled: "Actually, you and I both know that in this world, the sky is the atmosphere, and outside the atmosphere, is the cosmic space, where is the so-called fire outside the sky? However, this legend is not a pure story, it is true. ”
Speaking of this, Simon looked at Xiao Lei with a playful gaze, as if he wanted to see if Xiao Lei could understand the mystery.
Xiao Lei smiled. If he asked anything else, he might not really be able to answer, but about the story of this Nuwa mending the sky, he really studied it with Ye Buqun at the beginning.
It was a few years ago, when Xiao Lei first dealt with Ye Buqun, he had studied the story about Nuwa mending the sky because of the church's pursuit of treasures.
Based on conjecture at the time. The so-called "gods fought and broke a hole in the sky" in myths and stories actually refers to the "ozone layer" in the atmosphere.
You must know that the role of the ozone layer is to isolate the sun's ultraviolet rays! It is precisely because of the existence of the oxygen layer of bed bugs in the earth's atmosphere that life on the earth can survive by isolating ultraviolet rays!
In the story, the so-called "flames from outside the sky flow in from the holes in the sky", and the flames outside the sky refer to "ultraviolet rays"!
Don't underestimate ultraviolet rays! It's a terrible thing! Because of the ozone layer, most of the ultraviolet rays that hit the earth are isolated. to ensure the survival of life on Earth!
According to Xiao Lei's understanding, what if—of course, just if!
If. What happens when ultraviolet rays, which are not isolated by the ozone layer, shine directly on the earth?
It's a terrifying assumption! It's enough to wipe out the vast majority of life on Earth. Especially humans!
If those ultraviolet rays shine on the human body --
For example, if you try it, put a ripe peach in the microwave and heat it for three minutes.
Inside and out, it's all rotten!
Xiao Lei said these things in a cold tone, and after listening to this, Simon gave Xiao Lei a strange look. didn't say anything, and was silent for a while before he said slowly: "What you said is good." ”
He turned his gaze to the sky again: "That accident almost destroyed this world. If this world is destroyed, then our plans have failed. However, the race in the east is really powerful, and they actually have a way to replenish the hole in the sky! But this world has already experienced a great disaster. Massive human beings are dying. The two races were exhausted from fighting. A lot of energy has been lost. At that time, although the hole in the sky had been filled, the life of the earth was almost extinct. Helpless, the two tired races temporarily abandoned this world and retreated to the new space they had created. They all take a while. to take a break. ”
After that, I don't need to go into too much detail. In this world, there are actually some human beings who have survived, but because the gods who created them have retreated to another dimension, they continue to live in this world as if they were abandoned orphans. They went through the Dark Ages, the Age of Barbarism, and then established their own civilization, which developed step by step to today's world, forming today's human civilization world. ”
Simon slowly continued, "At that time, we had already left, because on that earth, human beings had become savage creatures, unable to draw on the power of faith. So, we gave up on this place for the time being. But when we came to Earth again, things were different. Humanity has developed its own civilization, and we could have taken the world away and established a religion to draw the energy of faith - but we are one step too late. Simon smiled bitterly: "After that disaster, the two major races of the East and the West retreated to another dimension, but after that, they never returned to this world. Soon, he re-established his religion and divided his sphere of influence. By the time we come again, the world will be divided into spheres of influence. The situation seems to have become the situation we first came into. ”
The Western race was the so-called ancient Greek gods at that time, the so-called gods on Mount Olympia. And the races of the East, needless to say, you should understand, are the gods of your Eastern mythology. Because the great war in history caused a catastrophe, the East and the West have no intention of going to war again for the time being. But we can't let this continue—"
Xiao Lei interjected coldly: "So, what the hell are you going to do, right?"
"Yes. Simon unabashedly admitted: "Our approach was successful. At least for now, it has been very successful. We decided to start directly with the human race, because we found that the human race had reached a very advanced stage, that they had their own way of thinking, and in many cases, they were able to think for themselves, and even the gods who made them could hardly limit their development. So, this time, we decided to use human beings themselves, but subvert their gods!"
After that, you only have to look at the history books and look at the history of how the Church achieved religious dominance in Western countries. I don't need to elaborate too much. To put it simply, we provoked mankind in Western countries to wage war, and it was an Eastern Crusade, that is, the Eastern Crusade of Alexander the Great in human history, but unfortunately it was a great war that was doomed to failure. As a result, the failure of human civilization in the West, the turmoil of the country, and the rise of the Roman Empire - "
Xiao Lei immediately said: "Then, Jesus came to earth and preached with his thirteen disciples, and you directly began to establish your own religion among Western humans!
"Yes. Simon admitted: "Because of the war and national turmoil at that time, mankind's belief in the gods of ancient Greece has gradually decreased, and the shaking of religion has weakened the power of their spiritual beliefs, so that we can gradually eat away at them and finally overthrow them." Of course, in the middle of the process, we even put aside our own identity and went to cooperate with mankind! You should know that the Roman Emperor who was the first to establish the legitimacy of Christianity in the Western countries! As I said earlier, mankind has reached a very high stage of development, and you have gradually escaped the control of the gods. For example, the emperor of the Roman Empire, who chose to cooperate with us, and we helped him establish his rule among the Western human race - it's as simple as that. ”
"What is this—a salary from the bottom of the kettle?" Xiao Lei sighed, and suddenly looked at Simon: "Are you going to do the same to the East?"
"So yes. Simon nodded, his expression becoming extremely strange: "However, two more unexpected events have occurred. ”
"Another accident?" Xiao Lei frowned.
Simon stretched out a finger: "First, we have found that the races of the East have completely exceeded our expectations, in other words, they have evolved to even exceed our existing capabilities!" He glanced at Xiao Lei strangely: "Aren't you surprised? According to what I just said, the gods are in another dimension, but in order to maintain their space, there must be a large amount of spiritual belief energy to maintain. But at present, it seems that you Eastern human beings are far less faithful to your gods than Western religions! I will even say something unpleasant, you Eastern people do not actually have a strict religious system now! Aren't you surprised?"
Xiao Lei is a smart person after all, he rolled his eyes, and immediately said: "Could it be that the gods of the East have already found other ways to maintain their space, well, that is, the fairy world?
"Yes!" Simon's expression was serious: "This is the first accident I said! The gods of the East have found another way to absorb energy, and they don't need to rely on religion to control human beings, and they can obtain great mana from human beings." Speaking of which, after we had taken away the religious status of the West, we were supposed to expand to the East, but this discovery surprised us! That is to say, the method we used to defeat the Greek gods in the first place, that is, the method of drawing salaries from the bottom of the kettle, and the method of using human beings to deal with the gods in turn, could not be applied to the gods of the East. ”
"So-in the end, what method did the gods of the East use instead of religion to absorb the spiritual mana of mankind?" Xiao Lei stared at Simon.
Simon smiled bitterly, and then two stiff words popped out of his mouth.
"Xiuzhen!"
