Chapter 336: The Most Famous Betrayal in History
Whether it's us, or the original ancient Greek gods and goddesses -- in the West, have you ever heard of something that can turn ordinary people into gods?
No!
The gods of ancient Greece all had fixed ones, whether it was the sun god, the moon god, or Zeus, the father of the gods. Just those guys. Of course, some new minor gods also appeared later, but they were all descendants of those gods. For example, a son or daughter of a god can become a god because of his bloodline.
But other than that, is there an ordinary human being who is really good to become an immortal?
No!
What about Christianity?
God is the only God! As for angels and the like, they are just servants of God.
But in the East it's different.
Simon's smile was a little bitter, but it didn't seem that he was really uncomfortable, but rather looked very relaxed.
"Your development in the East is very strange. Your gods have actually taught some strange methods to human beings, so that some ordinary people can cultivate into new immortals! That is what you Eastern cultivators call cultivating into immortals! This is simply amazing! Even, according to legend, even your Oriental animals and some other non-human creatures can cultivate into immortals! For example, the famous monkey!" Simon smiled strangely, and his tone was even more strange: "As a result, there are more and more gods in your East, and their power is getting stronger and stronger. Moreover, an ordinary person, after cultivating into an immortal. When you become a new god, you will be summoned to the fairy world, which is called 'ascension' in your place, and after you ascend to the fairy world, you can bring new and powerful earth mana to the fairy world! This is far more powerful than us using religion to gather the spiritual power of ordinary human beings! To put it simply, we are still using the spiritual power of ordinary human beings to maintain the world of heaven, and you in the East can already directly create new gods to supplement the energy of the fairy world -- there is nothing we can do about such changes. β
Speaking of which. Simon added: "Or, when life has reached a certain stage of development and has broken through a bottleneck. It's a higher level of evolution -- in fact, in general, the so-called earth gods are just one kind of life. It's just that they're more advanced than humans. β
"Of course, we also tried to learn this kind of behavior from the Eastern godsβbut in the end, we found that we couldn't make ordinary humans cultivate into new godsβ" Simon shook his head.
Xiao Lei's expression at the moment is somewhat exciting.
Needless to say, it must have something to do with my own discovery!
The three souls and seven spirits of the Easterners and the Westerners are different! Westerners are born without a "soul spirit" than the Easterners, so they cannot cultivate the spells of the East and become immortals!
"Well, that's the first accident you said. Xiao Lei said lightly: "You just said that there were two accidents. And what about the second one?"
Ximendi's expression was a little mysterious: "The second accident is that something happened inside us. β
He sighed, "Jesus was crucified, you know. He was betrayed by Judas the traitor - so, in all the legends, Judas was an abominable traitor, Jesus was the Son of God, came into this world to spread the teachings, but was betrayed and died by Judas - and Judas himself was one of the thirteen disciples of Jesus. β
Xiao Lei immediately felt a little vigilant in his heart. He looked at Simon coldly for a while, "You don't have to beat around the bush. Ye Buqun, that is, all the things that Lafayette discovered, I know -- that so-called Judas is actually a blood family! Six of Jesus' thirteen disciples were blood families, right?"
"Yes. Simon was still quick to answer, "Including Judah." There are six of them, all of them of blood. They are a superior bloodline, a higher bloodline than the prince you know! β
Lei sighed: "This is exactly what I haven't been able to figure out since Ye Buqun told me, Blood Clan, why are you an accomplice?"
"There's nothing strange about that. Simon said lightly: "The thirteen disciples who came to the world with Jesus at that time, six of them are also not creatures of the earth, they are from another world, just like the angels of the Feather Clan. Equivalent to allies. Everyone's goal is the same, to overthrow those guys on Mount Olympia in ancient Greece, take their place, and gain the religious dominance of mankind. Both the Feather Clan and the Blood Clan were sent. We are all of different races, but we come from the same place. It's because after the Yu clan came to the earth for the first time, they experienced the disaster of the earth, and when they came back for the second time, they brought some more people. β
"Well, I can understand what you mean. So the second accident you mentioned was that there was a problem with your internal treatment, what do you mean?"
"Division. Simon smiled: "Little Lei, you don't have to play stupid with me, I know, Lafayette must have told you all about his discovery, he found that six of the thirteen disciples were blood clans, and found that the blood clan also believed in God, and found that Judas was once a blood clan."
Xiao Lei smiled and said, "Not bad." So, it's because the Bloods suddenly betrayed you, and then split you, right?"
"What you're saying isn't accurate. Simon smiled mysteriously: "First, it's not the blood clan who betrayed 'us'. To be precise, it's 'the Bloods who betrayed the Feathers' - I can tell you that I'm not the Feathers. The betrayal was that Judas betrayed Jesus -- but there was something else to Judas betraying Jesus! Lafayette knew so much that he had to be put to death, but he ran out to get it out -- and he must have told you about the 'Judas suicide note' that he saw on Billy Bull Hill now
Xiao Lei was silent for a while, recalling the 'Judas's suicide note' that Ye Buqun told him that day-
Simon, on the other hand, read slowly, in a calm tone: "We have heard the truth of God, and if we deliberately sin again, we will no longer have the opportunity to atone for our sins, but we will tremble and wait for the coming of judgment and the fire that will extinguish the people." So I am guilty, and even if it is a sin that God has given me, I will bear it coming. Betrayal is a sin, and being betrayed is also a sin!
What came out of his mouth was the 'Testament of Judas' --
Xiao Lei was a little shocked, have you read this suicide note?
Simon sighed: "Of course I look at this, and. I saw it a long time ago, a long, long time ago, many, much earlier than that Lafayette saw itβ"
His tone changed: "It's not hard to understand what it means - Judas betrayed Jesus. So he has a 'crime', but the tone in this suicide note seems to be very helpless. Don't you think it's strange that it's a tragic look? That's not the tone of a traitor at all. β
Xiao Lei had already gathered his mind and quietly waited for Simon to say the answer.
Sure enough, Simon smiled and said in a calm voice, "Because the reason why Judas betrayed Jesus was that Jesus ordered him to do so."
After speaking. These, Simon looked at Xiao Lei with deep meaning, waiting to see his expression change.
Xiao Lei's face didn't change, he didn't even look surprised, he didn't even give Ximen a little shocked reaction, just looked at Simon quietly.
"Aren't you surprised?" said Simon with a smirk.
"Should I be surprised?" Xiao Lei pouted: "This kind of story has been written in the Nine Streams novels for a long time.
Simon smiled bitterly: "At least, you should have asked me the question, 'Why did Jesus not let Judas sell himself?'
"Wellβ" Little Ray smiled disdainfully, "Why would Jesus order Judas to sell himself?"
"Because it's a must. Simon said slowly: "In this world, where there is light, there must be darkness." Do you understand that?"
Xiao Lei's face changed, he lowered his head and thought carefully for a while, and when he raised his head, his face was solemn. Looking at Simon, he let out a long sigh and said helplessly: "I understand-"
He closed his eyes and thought for a few more seconds, then opened his eyes and sighed, "What a way! This whimsical method really surprised me." β
Simon raised his eyebrows: "You actually figured it out?" He seemed a little surprised.
Xiao Lei sneered: "It's not hard to guess. β
He exclaimed, "Your purpose is to establish a religion and then draw spiritual strength from the believers of mankind. However, as you said, if there is light in this world, there must be darkness! Just as there are all kinds of religions that preach justice in this world, whether Christianity is a tool for you to absorb the spiritual power of human faith, but there are still many good theories in its teachings. Let's call it a 'light' or 'righteous' religion. β
After a pause, Xiao Lei said again: "However, there are good and evil in people's hearts, and this kind of righteous and bright religion can only gather those human beings who are kind in their hearts. Just as you said, if there is light in this world, there must be darkness, and if there is goodness, there must be evil! You not only need Christianity, which is our good and positive religion, but at the same time, you also need a cult! Sometimes, cult followers are even more fanatical and devout in their belief in religion than orthodox religions! Therefore, the church established by the angels of the Yu tribe is bright. And the dark race, the blood race, is built on evil beliefs. However, in fact, the two organizations are doing the same thing, and they are both using religion to absorb the spiritual power of human faith. It's just that everyone has a different division of labor, right?"
Bang Bang -
Before Xiao Lei finished speaking, Simon had already smiled and began to applaud, he looked at Xiao Lei's eyes with a little appreciation: "I really can't imagine it, just one sentence from me, you can actually guess most of it." And in such a short period of time, I figured out the key to it. β
