"Hiccup—"

Xia Beiluo took a bite of the potato, divided it by two to solve the battle, wiped his mouth, took a few napkins from the restaurant, pursed his lips, and said:

"What is this? It's useless to think about it here, you have to take action! ”

"What? Got an idea for a dropout chick? ”

"I wasn't expelled from school, I just didn't have a school to ask for!"

Xia Beiluo laughed and picked up his suitcase and guitar:

"I'm just saying, since you don't want to reveal your past and wonder what your identity is—then don't think about it."

Igor gave her a strange look:

"Oh?"

"I have a plan."

Xia Beiluo puffed up his chest and said excitedly:

"Aren't you able to use music to influence the consciousness of others? This method is sure to make a lot of money! Whether it's a concert or a street show, it will definitely attract people to come, and when the time comes, we will definitely be able to make a lot of money by casually advertising and engaging in some peripheral products! ”

"And then?"

"Then, after I earned the money, I went to the church's school, and finally entered the overarching district of the Violet Star - that is the most prosperous, mysterious, and ancient core area of the Violet Star, there must be a lot of knowledge inheritance of the gods, and maybe there will be something outside the [weird] path."

Xia Beiluo said excitedly:

"That way, your goal will be fulfilled and my dream will become a reality – yes, it's a win-win! Isn't it great! Well? ”

Igor looked at her and just asked calmly:

"That's a good idea, so why did you escape from Suro City?"

Xia Beiluo blinked, then scratched his cheek:

"Uh- I'm afraid I'll be arrested by the church because you've made such a big noise......"

"Well, it turns out that you know that if you do this, the church people will target you."

Igor leaned against the wall and quipped:

"The idea is good, but the reality is not so rosy - the church cares about everything, and the gods can't control them. Sometimes I wonder, if the gods are omnipotent, what does He want believers to do? If He really needs to rule over believers, why doesn't He come Himself? If He really cares about the belonging of believers, why does He allow the church to govern believers? ”

"This, there is an explanation in the textbook, the gods are very busy, the gods have to deal with the monsters from the astral plane, and at the same time, they also have to prevent the revival of the five demon gods of [destruction], [master], [fine art], [raid], and [redemption]......"

"Even so, doesn't that sound like a contradiction?"

Igor said lightly:

"If the gods protect their people without expecting anything in return, it means that to Him we are like pets or toys that provide sentimental value."

"But the reality is that the fact that God has let the church govern us in His place means that He doesn't care about what we actually feel, and that we may be some kind of resource waiting to be tapped for God."

"Hey, that's blasphemy!"

"Or else?" Igor spread his hands: "If you were a god, why would you do such thankless things?" While saying that he values the people, let the people manage themselves. ”

"Because, it must be because the gods don't think the same way as us......"

"Then why do you say that the gods created us according to themselves?"

Igor said coldly:

"If God created man according to Himself, then man is the mirror of God, and God must have all our qualities, whether good or evil, beautiful or ugly, and God must have all the good, evil, beauty and ugliness that we do not have."

Xia Beiluo's head buzzed, as if the whole world was shaken.

"Wait, wait!"

Xia Beiluo opened her mouth, and she struggled to find an explanation for it.

Her brain is racing, and she is trying to maintain the worldview that has been cultivated by education and reality for more than a decade.

"I, I think, I think God must have His own thoughts, you see, there are so many gods in the world, the personalities are inherently different, we can't use our own thinking to substitute God's thoughts, God must be higher than us, know more than us, so, so ......"

Igor looked at her calmly and said:

"Who told you this?"

Xia Beiluo blurted out:

"It's the church."

Igor then asked:

"Who made up the church?"

Xia Beiluo hesitated for a moment, realizing that something was wrong:

“…… Person. ”

"You see, that is."

Igor spread his hands:

"Actually, it's not God who rules over mortals at all."

He approached Xia Beiluo and said seriously:

"It is a group of mortals, ruling over mortals in the name of God."

Xia Beiluo hurriedly retorted:

"But, Lord, the Lord is a de facto existence, whether it is the Lord of the Spirits, the Origin Heavenly Venerable, or the Void Emperor, the path they bring is real, and the power will not deceive people-"

"So what?"

"So, since the power of God exists, then God must have authorized the church to do these commands......"

"The gods command mortals to rule over mortals instead of gods?"

Igor asked:

"Why can't it be these mortals who take the initiative to transfer the power to rule and interpret the will of the gods to a small group of mortals, and let the mortals rule over the mortals?"

Xia Beiluo's pupils constricted.

"Tell me, if the gods need to rule over every mortal themselves, then why do they still exist with my rebellious words now? Is He not wanting to punish me for this heresy? Is it that He can't do it? ”

Igor's rhetorical question made Xia Beiluo's mind go blank.

Just when she couldn't react, Igor said:

"Nope. Of course the gods exist, and He is here in the sun, moon, mountains and rivers, in the stars and the vast sea. His power moves the natural world, and He is the essence of everything. ”

"But if He really has all of that, do you think He really needs to control us Christians?"

Xia Beiluo looked ahead in a daze.

"Dropout girl, the answer to all this should be very clear in your heart."

Igor stood beside her and said lightly:

"God doesn't care."

"What bullshit church, what puritans, what indulgences or offerings—the gods are so great that He doesn't care about that."

"From beginning to end, it imprisons the minds of mortals, rules the fate of mortals, and dominates the order of mortals."

"I've always been mortal."

…………………………

"This is the office of the President of the White Candle State, and I'm the acting executive, excuse me—huh? Uh, okay. ”

The woman tapped the keyboard quickly, picked up the phone, and her delicate eyebrows frowned slightly:

"Really? I'm sorry, but President Leoz is out on a trip, and if you have any questions, I can leave a message on my behalf. ”

"Well, okay, okay."

"Please also leave your name and contact information, and I will relay it to His Excellency the President later."

With that, the woman nodded, raised her pen, and recorded the next line of information:

"Dai Yawen, female, 28 years old, nationality: Azure Star - Frost Plating Republic."

"I'm about to descend into the abyss."

"Next up: Narrative No. 9 – "Destroying the Hometown"

Fat intestines: I'm sorry for resting for a while because of a cold
