The moment His words fell.

Xia Lian's mind cleared instantly, and he returned to the grassland again, the warm power seemed to acknowledge him, stored in his soul, he could communicate with it, and for him to tend.

He seemed to be connected to a strange universe, in which there were a large number of numbers, but most of them were negative, and a large number of the same powers that flowed through his soul were almost endless, but he could not use them.

Because these energies do not belong to him.

"If it weren't for the wisdom given by Athena, you might have gone crazy by now." Alayya's voice came to his mind, "No human being can remain sane in such a death and resurrection. ”

"Isn't that what it is?" Xia Lian said with a smile.

Xia Lian looked at his hands.

"I'm now, with the Divine Factor?"

"Looks like yes, you can try using the fifth element."

"How do you use it?"

"Imagine."

Xia Lian raised his hand and began to try to imagine the flames, and in his hands, a small flame was slowly appearing and burning quietly.

He looked at the flames, but there was no excitement on his face, but said with a slight frown.

"Why is it so expensive?"

Although it was the first time he had used this power, the wisdom that Athena had given him in his mind told him that it was not a normal drain.

"Because this is not the time of the gods."

Alayya's voice appeared in his mind again, "The rules of the universe have been basically determined, and the fifth overhead element has become the cornerstone of maintaining the rules, and it has settled in the dimensional space on the back side of the universe.

It's hard to get out of the way. ”

"What rules?"

"Everything you are familiar with, there is gravity on planets, people standing on planets will be attracted by gravity and will not float into the sky, sound depends on vibration and air transmission, so it can't travel sound in space.

Everything is made up of atoms, and atoms have nuclei and electrons. ”

"I see, you mean, that the universe is now made up of scientific rules called physics and chemistry, and these rules are locked and cannot be changed.

Everything in the world has to work according to this rule.

So, it's going to be difficult to use what the fifth overhead element used to call "magic" and that violates those rules, right? ”

"Almost."

Xia Lian's eyes flashed with a flash of brilliance.

"And what if, without violating the rules, use power within the framework of the rules?"

"What do you mean?"

"There are three elements to make a flame, combustibles, combustibles, and sparks."

Xia Lian raised his hand and muttered in a low voice.

"The combustibles are already around here, and Helios is an oxygen-rich planet, so I just need to empty some combustibles and add a little Mars ....."

"Whew~"

With the sound of flames emitting as they burned, a flame larger than the one just now appeared on his hand.

Xia Lian quietly stared at the flame in his hand, the orange flame light reflected in his pupils, reflecting his face red.

The energy consumed by this flame was less than the energy consumed by the flame he had just emptied.

It's even more economical than summoning flames in an era where there are no rules.

"Alayah, this force may not be the opposite of technology....."

"I've never said they're opposites, and the rules by which technology works are created by that power.

It forms all the common sense you know, and the truth that only technology can use. ”

"Still, I don't quite understand." Xia Lian continued, "Were these physical rules created by the gods? ”

"Yes, but no, they just created a prototype and deified these rules in themselves, and what really made these rules stable and became the physical rules they are today is the emergence of civilization.

In the process of civilization understanding the world, the rules are also stable. ”

"But it affects the theocracy of the gods, right?" "This is also the reason why the gods disappear, the rules are locked, and the gods are no longer omnipotent." ”

"Yes."

"Why didn't the gods stop the birth of civilization? Wouldn't there be no such thing as just exterminating humanity? ”

"Because the power of the gods also comes from humans, otherwise, why do you think humans worship the gods, and why do they leave behind those legends?"

Xia Lian seemed to realize something: "You mean, the gods can gain some kind of power bonus through human worship?" ”

"Humanity is also made up of a fifth alternate element, which they connect with and convey to the gods through their beliefs.

The gods, on the other hand, use this divine power to protect humanity, and in this way the two coexist and even rely on each other. ”

"No wonder in many legends, the gods were so concerned about human submission.

But when human beings developed and there was no longer a need for gods, gods withdrew from the stage of history, right? ”

"Yes."

"It feels like the gods were created to be the babysitters of mankind." Xia Lian said, "Is there anything special about human beings? ”

"What you say is not accurate and irresponsible."

Alayah denied his words, "Humanity has not developed because of the favor of some being.

Instead, he has come to this point step by step with his own strength.

The gods needed humans, but their arrogance never looked at humans, they only saw them as a kind of food, a kind of captive livestock.

In Greek mythology, if it weren't for Prometheus, humans wouldn't even be able to use fire.

And in some of the rest of the divine realms, there is not even Prometheus.

But they relied on their own power to create flames, to face all kinds of monsters themselves, to face the flood, people work together to dredge the river, tame the river.

In the face of disease, people devote themselves to research, try herbs, and declare war against disease.

Human power is weak, but just a brick can be built by everyone.

When everyone has put up a brick, a wall appears, and a city appears.

Everyone does their own thing, unites as one, and civilization grows as a result.

The gods and humans could have coexisted, and the world was just for everything.

But the gods are ruined by their own arrogance, while humans rise from their own indomitability. ”
