201. Gods and Heroic Spirits
In front of me, there is a noisy playground.
The national flag stand, the green grass, the plastic runway that smells of rubber and paint in the warm sun, and the crisp bell of class......
"Isn't this my high school playground?"
Li Xiang rubbed his eyes, and the scene in front of him was exactly the same as the school he remembered.
I remember that when I was in my third year of high school, I often came to the playground during my lunch break at noon, and found a shade to sit quietly, or take a nap, or think about something that I didn't have.
"Did I just have a dream?"
He looked around for a moment, then stretched out his hand, intending to grab a passing classmate and ask what time it was.
When his hand touched the other's shoulder, his hand easily passed through the other's body.
?
Li Xiang looked at his hand in a daze, what was going on?
"You're awake."
A slightly cold voice came from behind Li Xiang, he turned his head and saw a "person" who was exactly the same as himself.
The reason why he is said to be human is because he has most of the elements of a human being, and he has all five senses and limbs.
The reason why he is called "human" is because his appearance is exactly like himself, but his body is like a light bulb, emitting light.
"Who are you?"
Li wanted to forcibly relax his body, and now his condition is unknown, and only his relaxed body can enter the fighting state or turn around and flee for his life faster.
"Please don't be nervous, I am one of the gods of all worlds, the name of the god, the bond. At the same time, they also lead the priesthood of 'connection', 'relationship', 'connection', and 'society'. It's one of the most relaxing places you can remember composing, so I set this up as our place to talk. Not...... In order to make it easier to accept, I changed my image to the way it is now, and it seems to have the opposite effect, so let's change back to my original appearance. ”
The self-proclaimed god snapped his fingers and turned into a bare white ball of light.
"I'm sure you must have a lot of questions, but please put them aside for now. By the time I've finished my explanation, most of your questions should be solved. ”
Li Xiang was about to speak, but when he heard the other party say this, he temporarily swallowed back the words that came to his lips and quietly waited for the other party to give his explanation.
"Thank you for your cooperation. It all starts with our origins......"
The high school playground in Li Xiang's memory disappeared before his eyes, and the scene he was in turned into a magnificent universe.
God's voice sounded in his head:
"Earth, the third planet of the solar system, has an equatorial radius of 6378.137 kilometers, a polar radius of 6356.752 kilometers, an average radius of about 6371 kilometers, and an equatorial circumference of about 40076 kilometers. With a surface area of 510 million square kilometers, 71% oceanic and 29% terrestrial, the atmospheric composition includes the vast majority of nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and some other gases. ”
"The temperature here is neither high nor low, with a lot of moisture, and many other conditions, this place has become the only planet in the universe known to mankind that can produce life."
"Life, what a wonderful existence, everything in the universe is developing towards disorder and chaos, but life takes all kinds of matter from the disordered environment and constructs an orderly self. Most of the life on Earth has its own DNA, which contains the genetic code. This genetic code can be transmitted through reproduction, and as a result, life replicates itself. ”
"Life itself, the reproduction of life, is highly ordered, which is undoubtedly contrary to the trend of the entire universe. But if it ends here, then life is just a miracle in the vast universe, and hundreds of millions of years ago, the arrival of a meteorite finally made this miracle transform in the direction of miracles. ”
"Meteorite?"
Li Xiang couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the other party's narration.
"Yes, the meteorite, this meteorite, brings the soul! Wisdom! Conscious! You can use any words to describe it, in short, from this moment on, life began to change! ”
"Wait, wait...... You say the soul is brought by this meteorite? But the soul ......"
"If you want to explain it scientifically, you can't do it. Besides, do you really think that all the energy you had in the past can really be explained by science? ”
God's voice is still calm and warm:
"What meteorites contain, what we call soul matter, was initially dispersed in the Earth's atmosphere, and in small quantities. These soul substances did not change the earth in the first period of time, but thousands of years later, a primate, with a highly developed brain, contained these substances into their bodies. This is the origin of the so-called 'Homo sapiens', which is now the species of 'humans'. ”
"When the soul encounters a 'life' that is capable of constantly replicating itself, transforming the material in the environment into itself, the soul also has the ability to replicate itself."
"The reproduction of human beings, in addition to the reproduction of the body, also copies the souls of parents to children. The thin soul matter at the beginning eventually increased exponentially with the reproduction of human beings. ”
In front of Li Xiang's eyes, the earth continued to enlarge, and a jungle appeared in front of his eyes, and a group of primitive people with shawls and animal skin clothes and stone weapons were hunting an elephant.
"The physique of human beings is not the largest among all living beings, and the strength is not the strongest among all living beings, endurance, resistance and many other abilities are not strong, but since the fusion of the soul in the atmosphere, human beings have become the most intelligent species on the earth, and after dozens or hundreds of generations of reproduction, when the number of soul substances continues to increase, quantitative changes cause qualitative changes, and human beings have since opened 'civilization'."
With the narration of the gods, the familiar ruins of ancient Babylon, ancient Egypt, ancient India, ancient China and other civilizations flashed in front of Li Xiang's eyes.
"The birth of civilization, the emergence of the concept of human beings, marks the final establishment of human beings as a species on the spiritual level, and the subsequent history is no different from what you know."
Li Xiang nodded,
"I guess I understand, but you don't seem to have mentioned anything about the Void?"
"As I just said, the operation law of the entire universe is to turn everything into chaos and disorder, and the so-called void is the embodiment of this will, or in other words, the void is part of the will of the great universe."
"Intelligently human beings have built civilization and formed a scientific system based on logic, mathematics, and physics, all of which are contrary to the trend of the entire universe. Perhaps it is the innate aura of the human soul that has an innate attraction to the creatures of the Void - let's call them creatures - they will erode the consciousness and soul of people in various ways, and the people who are successfully corrupted by the Void are the madmen or psychopaths that you often see. ”
"So those mental illnesses are all caused by the erosion of the void?"
Li Xiang shuddered, but felt that this self-proclaimed god should have no reason to deceive himself.
"Yes and no. There are some people who are not eroded by the void and go crazy, but their thinking has entered a dead end and they can't get out, these people may be too smart to be understood by ordinary people, and the so-called genius and madman are only a thin line between these people. ”
"The typical Void Eroder will exhibit a strong desire to destroy, and these people are prone to suicidal and murderous desires. Some of the most dangerous of them even retain their sanity, although their logic is difficult for you to understand. They take pleasure in killing, destroying, disrupting order. In a word, the human beings who are polluted by the erosion of the void are themselves the destroyers of the human race. ”
"Some of the celebrities among the Void Eroders, you must be familiar with them, including Germany's mustache, England's Jack the Ripper, and so on, are all Void Eroders who have been identified."
"No......"
Li Xiang felt as if he was approaching the reality of the world.
"Although the power of the void is very powerful, it does not mean that human beings are helpless against it, morality, etiquette, rules, goodness...... These are all powerful weapons for human beings to arm their consciousness against the erosion of the void. If all of a person's actions are in accordance with 'human reason' and he has basic morality and good values, he is basically not in danger of being polluted by the void. ”
"The purpose of these good gods is to make these crystallization of human civilization, these beautiful things accepted by all, to resist the threat of the void to mankind."
Li Xiang frowned slightly and asked a question:
"I have a question, if the void is something that exists in the universe, then how did you gods come about? Do you also exist naturally? ”
God does not exist forever, but rather God comes from human faith. When a tribe, a nation, or even a group of strangers who share a common belief invest in the same concept, gods will naturally arise, from the earliest god of wind, fire, and sea, to the god of time and space and even the god of the Internet in recent years. However, although we are called gods, our power comes from faith, from consciousness, and therefore can only function in the world of consciousness. ”
"The world of consciousness? You mean the spin-off world I went through before? ”
"That's right, the derivative worlds produced by these new works are also typical of the world of consciousness, only in these worlds of consciousness, can we exert the kind of power depicted in people's myths and legends, for example, I, as a fetter priesthood, I can connect the heart, let people have the same mind, the power of the god of power can move mountains and seas, the god of fire can burn mountains and boil the sea, the more people believe in the god, the more people pay attention to the concept, the stronger the power it has. However, the power of God can only be exercised in the conscious world, so it has nothing to do with the real world, and although sometimes people's prayers can be heard, people's wishes cannot be fulfilled. ”
"I probably understand what you mean, so what are you looking for this time?"
"This time, I want to sign a contract with you, and I hope you can join us."
"Join you, aren't you God? I'm still the god of the worlds with a very big name, but I'm not. ”
"That's not what it means, the so-called gods of the worlds do not refer to me or a god, but a camp established by a god and a heroic spirit to fight against the threat of the void, you should have seen a few of our Heroic Spirit contractors in the derivative world before, they are all heroic spirits who have signed a contract with the gods of all worlds."
"You say they're Heroes?"
"That's right, Heroic Spirit. They are all dead souls, because of their strong will, and they have a certain "immortality", they still do not dissipate after death, and after we find them, they sign a contract with us to dedicate their last strength to mankind, which we call Heroic Spirits. ”
"That's why the uncle named Xu Zhengping will ......"
"Yes, the belief of a single person cannot fight against the fate of extinction after all, only the collection of a large number of human will can form an immortal heroic spirit, Xu Zhengping is a representative of tens of thousands of Chinese workers who have crossed the sea, and became a heroic spirit after carrying their beliefs, but unfortunately, history will eventually be forgotten, not to mention the unbearable history of a nation, his power is decreasing year by year, and his existence is getting weaker and weaker. At the end of the Heroic Spirit's life, he chose to use all the power of his roots to give up his own existence and fill the void rift in the derivative world. ”
Li Xiang was silent for a long time, and this upright uncle left a deep impression on him.
After a long time, Li Xiang asked again:
"Since Xu Zhengping's existence will dissipate with oblivion, is it still possible to 'die' after becoming a heroic spirit and a god?"
"If the weakening and dissipation of the root of existence is death, the answer is - yes, the god will eventually die, but the lifespan will vary depending on the source of the god, such as the god of fire and the god of wind, which have been around for thousands of years. By the way, there is not much difference between the Heroic Spirits and the Gods, and it can only be said that the faith and conviction acquired by the Heroic Spirits are insufficient compared to the Gods. Some Heroic Spirits possess powers that are no less powerful than gods, such as Albert Einstein and Newton, whose energy is not much higher than that of gods. ”
"Cow ...... Newton??! ”
Li Xiang was shocked.
"That's right, he used to be one of our members, but it's a pity ......"
"What a pity?"
"Compared to the Void, the power of human beings is too small, and in the past great cataclysm, Newton, Descartes, Hua Tuo and other heroic spirits chose to use the Root, exhausting their power, in human terms, death."
"What......"
Today's surprise was more than the surprise Li Xiang had experienced before.
Although Li Xiang judged that the other party should not be lying, the amount of information in the other party's words was too large, and Li Xiang decided to concentrate on solving the most important problem first.
"According to you, God can't affect the real world, why is Irel able to affect my body, and where has Irel gone? Besides, I'm still alive, so why do I have to make a contract with me, who is not a Heroic Spirit? ”
