The man paced slowly in place, and gave another example,

"In the 30s of the 20th century, someone made up a story that people are divided into several grades, and that all the suffering is caused by some bad guys hiding around us, and we need a script, a great script, and the content of the script is to eliminate those inferior races and let us evolve into a better race. ……

And then a war broke out that swept the world, involving dozens of countries, and the war lasted for six years, causing more than 5 trillion losses and 70 million deaths.

"This story is simply fake, made up by a madman, but why are the consequences so serious and real?"

"Can scripts, blind editing, and the real world really be distinguished?"

This is a big event in real history.

Li Xinyi was a little unable to answer for a while. He hadn't really understood the other person's train of thought yet.

"Then let's stretch it a little more. Push the clock back even earlier. The man said,

"In the early days, people simply lived together, and although there were many, many people in the world, all of them were not distinguished, and there were no names.

"And then, a story was born, maybe because of the need for war, maybe for some other reason, in short, someone made up a story,

"The story says that we are naturally one, that our ancestors are the same people, that we have common blood, that we share a common geography, that we have many things in common,

"But apart from us, there is also a 'them', we are not the same as them, we want to exclude them,

"So, everyone is aware of this 'we', and this 'we' is regarded as a heavenly principle since ancient times, do you know what I'm talking about?"

Li Xinyi shook his head.

"This story is called 'The Nation', and this script is called 'We Are the Chosen One'.

"This script is pretty much the same everywhere in the world."

……

Li Xinyi didn't expect him to say this.

As the man spoke, his mind was spinning rapidly, what was this madman talking about?

Is religion a story? Nation is also a story? How did he get connected? Does this stand up?

Before Li Xinyi could react, the man said, "Let me change the version,"

"Everybody used to live simply, they didn't have any natural debts, and they weren't managed by anyone.

"Suddenly one day, a group of well-equipped people came from afar and told them a story, telling them that you were born into a certain system, you were born with debts, and you must obey this system unconditionally,

"From then on, they had to work, pay taxes, be governed, and have a strong sense of pride in being part of the system.

"This story is called the country."

……

Of course, the things that these middle-aged people said did not really happen in history.

But he is talking about an abstract process. What he's talking about is how the 'state' thing came about.

There was no such thing as a 'country' before, but with the story of 'country', everyone believed it, and so there was a country.

Li Xinyi was shocked,

Is that really the case?

The reason why Li Xinyi was shaken was because he vaguely remembered something in his mind......

The religion, the nation, the country, the man is talking about...... What does it relate to in your memory?

……

Concept, yes, is the thing that the gods deleted, the concept!

Nation, state, these are all concepts.

What would the world be like without countries? People will regress to a completely diasporadic, tribal way of life.

Concept is story?

In the earliest times, perhaps concepts were born from stories and were passed down in the form of stories.

And the story that everyone knows and agrees with is knowledge.

For a while, Li Xinyi's mind was confused, and he couldn't figure out these clues.

The man nodded and continued:

"To give you another example,

"In the old days, people simply kept their clothes warm. Clothes are just an ordinary thing.

"But then someone made up a story that told people that only 'those kinds of clothes' are high-end, the mark of a superior person, and only those clothes will make you more beautiful and noble.

So, people started to buy that kind of high-end clothes like crazy.

"They used to have clothes for only 20 yuan, but now they are willing to pay 10,000 times the price,

"This kind of story is called fashion."

And also......

And also......

And much more......

Li Xinyi felt completely stunned.

I only heard the man shouting at him, "Do you understand? Do you understand?

"Humans have lived in stories since time immemorial! Humans are story-driven! There's no way you can get rid of the TV series! ”

……

Li Xinyi only felt as if his brain had been washed out,

Oh no, I'm really going to believe him!

He really didn't expect that there would be such a person under the rampant guide.

From the moment he saw Rampant Dao, he felt that Rampant Dao was a chaotic madman, how could he have such a subordinate?

This man seems to have a very clear mind, and he has a strange power of persuasion.

This is probably the smartest person under the rampant man.

"Say no more!" Li Xinyi categorically interrupted him, "What do you want me to believe?" Is the world the way it is? ”

"No,"

"What I want to tell you is that the essence of human civilization is a story. This has been the case for thousands of years,

"You're in the TV series from the beginning, everyone is, and there's no way you can leave."

The essence of civilization? ……

Li Xinyi thought of the concept of god deletion,

When the gods delete the concept, they delete the old story. And now the rampant guide is weaving a new story......

He forcibly interrupted his thoughts,

Li Xinyi roared, "Enough! No matter what you say, no matter what, I must eliminate the rampant!

"What he did was sin! I'm not much of an actor either! ”

The wise man frowned,

"Why resist? You're just a character, and I'm just a character. Acting is something you have to accomplish. ”

Li Xinyi roared, "What if this character doesn't recognize what he wants to play!" ”

Even if Ma Tian Town is a story, he is not an actor!

The smart man looked at him and didn't speak for a few seconds.

When he spoke again, his voice became a little distant. He said:

"Wang Donkey, you are not really free from the control of the gods."

What!

Li Xinyi was shocked, "What do you call me?" Why do you call me King Donkey? ”

Wang Donkey is the name given by Li Xinyi to that character in "Strange Book".

"Is the king donkey really free?" The eyes of the wise man looked at him through the lenses,

"Does the donkey really have free will? Did he really want to get out of the darkness on his own? ”

"No, it was written by the gods.

"You wrote it,

"Wang Donkey, just like you, tries to break free from the control of the gods, disobeys the identity arranged by the gods, and breaks through the original shackles,......

"Maybe he's proud of his 'freedom'!

"But actually, it's all up to you!"

Li Xinyi......

He set the king donkey to rebel against the gods, so the king was free, but in fact the king was only obeying the words he wrote.

So, so what does this mean?

All their own confrontations are actually ...... Determined by the gods?
