Chapter 440: Seizure of Godhead
When Ares said this, Dewey was in deep thought.
The truth of history turns out to be like this? The so-called legendary gods, those supreme beings, also have these secrets that make people speechless......
The hero who once "saved" mankind, who once defeated the powerful demon god with the "spear of Longcinus", the strongest god of war in mankind, Ares, is in front of Du Wei's eyes at this moment.
The tone full of sadness and despair existed so vividly in front of Du Wei...... This is God! The God of Man?!
I see!
I see!!
The human world now only knows the "Goddess of Light", and the goddess has become the only god worshiped by human beings, and has also become the only dominant god in this world. And the former male god Ares stayed in this place and was sealed for 10,000 years!
Du Wei thought for a while and shook his head slowly: "I still don't understand." Since...... She plotted against you and imprisoned you here...... However, what about the Demon God?Why didn't I see the Demon God here???!!", as if the sorrow of ten thousand years in Ares's heart had been vented a little, and his tone sounded less sad, so the male god did not directly answer Du Weidi's question. Instead, he asked him a question first:
"Human, I ask you, what is God in your opinion?"
Du Wei looked at the figure in the crystal stone above his head speechlessly, he thought seriously for a moment before replying: "Possess supreme divine power." Creating the world, creating living beings? Hmmm...... In my opinion, the power of the divine earth is like being in one's own realm, and everything can be controlled by one's own will...... Then create or destroy, change or eternal......"
"No, no, no, that's not what I asked. Ares said slowly, "I ask you, what does God seem to you to be, or to put it another way: where does God come from?"
Where did God come from?
This question is like in all religious canons. None of them have ever said exactly.
In a general sense, almost all religious doctrines hold that God is the creator of the world, and that everything in the world is on earth. Sky. Rivers, mountains, forests, living things, everything, were created by the gods. But...... Where were the gods "created"?
As if this answer never existed. For it seems that God is so eternal.
Perhaps, if you ask anyone in this world, the answer is the same.
But Du Wei is not, because after all, he has the memory of his previous life, and he was in his previous life. He was a believer in atheistic materialism. So he quickly said, "I think." The so-called gods are not the beings who created this world at all...... Ares, maybe in front of you. I'm not very respectful to say that. But I think that although you are very powerful, you are not really strong enough to create such a world! Therefore, I think that the so-called gods are just ordinary beings in the first place, but you are lucky enough to have a strong strength, which is higher than that of ordinary beings. ”
Ares smiled, and his laughter seemed satisfied, "Human, anyway, your answer is very good. Last time, that Aragorn said the same thing here. Truly...... We are called so-called gods, but the name of gods is just shouted by ordinary gods. ”
Then he slowly said:
"A long, long time ago, when the world was very young, there were already all things and creatures in the world. There are races, there are humans, there are demons, there are jīng spirits, there are dwarves, there are orcs, and there are even some other races that you don't know about now. And I, she, the demon god, and the so-called beast god, jīng spirit god, or dwarf god, etc., in the beginning, we were just ordinary gods, ordinary humans, ordinary demons, ordinary dwarves, ordinary jīng spirits. It's just that later, with the opportunity and development of individuals, among ordinary beings, some powerful individuals appeared, and these powerful individuals comprehended the true meaning of power and comprehended the rules of space......"
Hearing this, Du Wei's mind immediately remembered the theory of the so-called "fish in the river" mentioned by Bai Hechou.
He even thought of Bai Hechou's body. Isn't this guy an ordinary human being, but he began to change from an ordinary fish to a strong fish, able to jump out of the water and see the rules of the river in front of him, and at this time, he reached the holy level. Later, he grew stronger and stronger, and gradually grew from a fish in the river to strong enough to walk on the riverbank......
That's the breakthrough!
A breakthrough on the path of the gods!
Whether it's this Ares, or the gods that existed in ancient times, it's probably like this!
"At the beginning, we understood the rules and thought that it was the limit, the end. But later, there were some powerful individuals who found new breakthroughs and found that it was just a matter of understanding the rules and knowing how to use them, which was not the real end. Then, gradually, it progressed to the point where some people could change the rules, or even create new ones...... The power is getting stronger and stronger. Even after reaching a higher level, we can have a long life! a much longer life than ordinary beings!
So, gradually, we became an awe-inspiring existence in the eyes of ordinary beings, we had power that ordinary beings could not understand, and we had eternal life in their eyes, because our power was so strong that we could even change the fate of many, many people with our own power. It's even beyond the imagination of ordinary beings......
Therefore, in their eyes, we have become idols that must be respected and feared.
Moreover, over the years, ordinary beings have been born. Death, generation after generation. And we have always existed, which makes them even more incomprehensible and more awe-inspiring.
And then, in the eyes of ordinary people, they mistakenly believe that it seems that we are truly eternal.
Although we have great power, we are not really world-creating beings, we are just ordinary people who have evolved. We also have our own thoughts and emotions. Therefore, the strong people born in various races will still unconsciously take care of their original race.
Gradually. Those races regard the god who takes care of their own race and their own race as the guardian god of their race...... And, after a long time. Everything turned into a tradition.
It's as if we were born to exist. Born to be high. And these gods also have a hopeful side, an evil side, a good side, a vain side, and so on and so forth......"
"I understand that you are just human beings, but you are much stronger than ordinary people. Du Wei said lightly: "Then according to what you say." The so-called gods. It's just that it's just a stronger and stronger person than the Holy Order. Isn't that right? The so-called earth gods just have their own realm. ”
"Nope. ”
Unexpectedly, Ares denied Duwe's claim: "Your answer is wrong this time. Do you think that when you reach the realm level, you are a god? It's a little worse, and it's a lot worse!"
Du Wei frowned, then quietly listened to Ares continue.
"As you said, we're just some people who are particularly powerful and exceed the limits of ordinary people. However, no matter how strong a person is, there is a limit. Even if you can reach the realm level, you can only create your own realm and control everything in your own realm. But how big can your realm be? 100 steps, 1,000 steps, 10,000 steps?"
Du Wei was speechless.
Because in myths and legends, any god seems to have the power to destroy the world. Unless, your strength is so strong that the scope of the realm that supports it covers the whole world?" After Du Wei finished speaking, he immediately shook his head: "No, I don't think it's that powerful. ”
"It's true that no, even the most powerful realm powerhouse can't expand his realm to envelop the entire world in it. So...... The realm is not really god-level. ”
"What's the difference?" Du Wei couldn't help but ask.
"Godhead!" Ares's voice seemed mysterious, and he uttered a word that Dewey was not unfamiliar with.
Of course, Du Wei had heard of the term, but the meaning of the word always seemed so vague.
Fortunately, now in front of Du Wei, there is a real god who can answer this question for him. "When a person's power is already at its limit, we can only seek other sources of power. Ares said slowly: "I think since you have reached the realm level, then you should understand that the so-called domain power, controlling the rules, this power does not come from [**], but from the heart. It is the power of the jīng divine consciousness space! However, no matter how strong a person's strength is, there is always a limit. So, I don't know who was the first to discover the earliest domain powerhouse, but in my opinion, it should be the first Demon God to break through. The way to break through this is faith and religion!
To use faith, to use religion - or rather, to use the worship of ordinary beings. Take advantage of the worship of us by those who are the most devout to us in their hearts, their devotion to us. When a person's heart is filled with piety and fanaticism, his jīng divine power becomes stronger than usual. And this time...... We will open our realm and envelop these ordinary beings who believe in us.
Then, you should know. When your realm is open, it is within the realm of it. Everything is under your control, and these ordinary beings in the faith, the jīng divine power sublimated by worship and piety, can also belong to you!
And all we have to do is use their power!
Collect the divine power of thousands of living beings who believe in jīng, gather them together, and finally collect them for their own use!
From the initial accumulation. In the back, more and more, more and more, then, your power will become stronger and stronger...... This is the so-called Godhead!
So, from this point of view, as a god, if the more ordinary beings believe in him, the stronger the faith, the more devout and fanatical the faith, the stronger the power of this god, because the more powerful the godhead he has!"
Du Wei heard this. Suddenly, a cold sentence came out and sneered: "Then if a god does not have the worship and belief of ordinary beings, then the power will become weak." Right?"
Ares seemed to acquiesce. Du Wei sneered in his heart: Robber!
"It's a cycle. You open the field. The more power you have gained from the beliefs of the people and the earth in your realm, the more your power will increase, and then the greater your realm will become. And the larger the field, the more creatures can be covered, and the more faith power can continue to be absorbed...... It's like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger. All you have to do is store all the power of faith. In this way, the so-called power of God is naturally powerful beyond imagination. Compared with. A domain-level powerhouse. It's just that we've just touched the threshold. ”
When Du Wei heard this, he laughed: "I am already a domain powerhouse now." Aren't you afraid to tell me this when I'm out? And use this method to increase your power and become a new god?"
Ares seemed calm: "You can't do it yet. Because although you are in the realm, you don't know how to absorb the power of faith in this way. You don't know how to build up your Godhead in this way. And that's what I can't tell you either. ”
"I understand. Du Wei seemed to smile, and laughed a little mockingly: "You are a group of beings living at the top of the pyramid, and the top of the pyramid should have belonged to only a few lands. Of course, the original existence would not want a new guy to appear to snatch the already not spacious place!" Ares smiled, and he smiled peacefully: "Maybe I did think so before, but now, after 10,000 years of captivity here, do you think I will think so......?"
"My name is Du Wei, you can call me by my name. Because when you call me human, I don't like it. That makes me feel like you're really a god...... After all, you're just someone who is stronger than me and has lived longer than me. ”
"All right, Dewey. Ares seemed to be calm: "Then what I want to say to you is that it is not that I am unwilling to tell you how to build a godhead, but that this is a realm of comprehension, which cannot be spoken. You need to understand it yourself, so that you can truly understand...... Words can't describe that feeling. ”
"Well, I accept the explanation. Du Wei nodded: "But you haven't told me yet, why isn't the Demon God here...... Does this question have anything to do with what God is?"
"There is a relationship. Ares said, "Now you know that God is only a human being, and he also has human desires and emotions. Then you can imagine our way of thinking in a human way. ”
Du Wei was listening.
I heard Ares' voice say slowly: "When that day, she suddenly stabbed me with the spear of Longcinus, I was heartbroken and desperate, and she imprisoned me in this Tower of Babel. And outside...... That Oskilia and that Jīng spirit, who were also subordinates of the Demon God, were also imprisoned here together. The only difference is that they are only Holy Steps, while the scope of the Tower of Babel is a realm, and they can't enter. Therefore, for these 10,000 years, they only stayed outside, and they didn't know what was going on inside, and they didn't even know that the demon god had already left here!
Just because, after I was injured by the goddess and locked up in the Tower of Babel, for the rest of the time, I and the demon god were left here together, and the two of us were originally enemies' opponents, and after a period of getting along, the hearts of both of us have changed!
The biggest change is the Demon God!
He is a strong man, and he is deeply in love with a woman. Then he was betrayed by love......
After the initial despair, sadness, and pain, if it is an ordinary person, it is lucky, because it can die in one ...... But when we got to this point. Even wanting to die is a very difficult thing to do.
So, after a period of pain -- but even if it is a great pain, there will always be a time when it will gradually calm down, when he has calmed down. Naturally, according to the way of thinking, after experiencing pain and despair, in the end, all these emotions are finally transformed into ......"
"Hatred!" Du Wei replied coldly.
"Yes. It's hatred. Ares said lightly: "He loves very deeply, and his hatred is also very strong." And I, too, was hurt and deceived by that woman. took advantage of it. So. I also have hatred in my heart! And in this case, if two men who have been deceived by the same woman are locked up together, do you think we will continue to hate each other?"
At first, even if the two were hateful, but after being together for a long time, they will slowly fade after all. It is even possible to give birth to a possibility of "sympathy".
Then, by chance, we finally communicated. At last. We reached a settlement. And after the reconciliation, the common wish of the two of us is to take revenge on Ares, and his tone is a little helpless: "But after all." He's still better than me. Even if he is in the center of the earth, he is much tougher than me...... Maybe it's because he's hurt more than I do. I wanted revenge, but I didn't want to face her anymore. So we ended up with an agreement...... Let him go out and take revenge! And I, stay here. ”
"Get out?" Du Wei's heart moved.
"Yes, get out!" Ares laughed, his laughter getting louder and louder, with a hint of mockery, "Although she deceived me and plotted against me here, she seems to have left a flaw in her." Because, in order to consume my divine power, and then take advantage of my weakness to plot against me, it was I who used my divine power to arrange the seal here! The strengthening of the seal here was arranged by my own hands. So, even though I was plotted by her, I could still find a way to release him! Unfortunately, I needed to be imprisoned instead of him.
There is such a unique flaw in that seal. So, in the end, I let him out.
And he, before leaving, swore to me that he would complete his revenge...... And, one day, he would personally defeat that woman and bring her here, and then ...... Let her taste captivity too!
I have only one request for the Demon God......"
Ares said this, and his voice became cold:
"I want her to accompany me!" Ying was slow, and he could hear that this sentence was full of incomparably strong hatred!
However, Du Wei still couldn't help asking: "So, 10,000 years have passed...... It seems that the demon god didn't succeed. Because I came from the outside world, and now on the outside continent, your old lover is revered by all mankind as the goddess of light, and is still the only lord of this world, the only supreme being! There is not even a trace of him appearing...... Even history has been completely tampered with by the goddess. In the current history of mankind, it seems that there is no trace of the existence of the demon race at all! If it weren't for the fact that I happened to know a jīng spirit who ran to the mainland from the north, I wouldn't have known any other mythical era in history!"
"This is not surprising. Ares said lightly: "It's only 10,000 years." You know, after imprisoning both of us here, the strength of the goddess has increased tremendously, and even if the demon god goes out from here, it won't be easy to defeat her!"
"Isn't the Demon God the most powerful god?" Du Wei frowned. It used to be. Ares' voice was a little helpless: "Because ......"
After a pause, he sighed helplessly: "After she conspired with the two of us to imprison here, she took advantage of our weakness to use her divine power to take away most of our godhead!"
Captured ...... After walking through the 3,650 steps, Vivian and Elu, following the Jīng Spirit King Luoxue, came to the huge square at the top of the snow-capped mountain.
Looking at the empty square, Vivian couldn't help but feel a little anxious: "Mr. Falling Snow...... Du Wei, he, where has he gone? You, didn't you say, he's, right there, on the mountain?"
Luoxue didn't speak quietly, her eyes seemed to have crossed the square, and looked in the direction of the Witch King's throne far ahead......
Ai Lu's face suddenly changed: "Could it be ...... They went to the cave where the teacher practiced together?!"
Following Elu's finger, Vivien looked into the distance.
And at this time, in the distance, Bai He's cold voice came.
"Jīng Ling, why did you go and come back? Are you not convinced by the defeat in your heart, and you still want to try again?"
Luo Xue said lightly: "Mr. Bai Hechou, I just abide by what I once said, and there are still three days left in the time I agreed with Du Wei...... I just decided to accompany Du Wei's wife up the hill and stay here until the end of our agreed time...... I don't have any doubts about your strength. ”
Bai Hechou's voice was silent for a while, and then came softly: "That little Du Wei's wife? Hmph, in that case, you guys should come in together." ”
After a pause, his voice became cold:
"Leave me outside, I'll stand there until I have any other commands!"
