Chapter 573: The Dark Side of the Divine Realm
"The rules of the divine realm are made by God."
"God, there is no mistake, and there is no mistake."
"Because they're strong, they can make rules. And because they are strong enough, they can trample and tear the rules at will. And sentient beings can only choose to obey. For this is the only hope for their protection, even if it depends on God's attitude."
Su Luoheng's tone was calm.
"But ......"
Reiah was not reconciled, "But aren't they gods? Isn't God a symbol of fairness and justice? Isn't it their duty to uphold justice and protect all beings?"
"God? Huh—"
Su Luoheng said disdainfully, "Liya, this is indeed the most ideal image of a god in most people's minds, but unfortunately, whether it is Tang San or the gods of the God Realm, they are not."
"If this is God's standard, then there is no God in this world at all. Those self-proclaimed gods in the Divine Realm, those who deceive the world and steal their reputations, are not worthy of being called gods!"
"The so-called gods are a group of beings with extraordinary powers. In order to distinguish their identities from ordinary beings, they let sentient beings call themselves gods."
"God, put a splendid cloak over their position. At the same time, to establish in the minds of all beings that God is only a symbol of supreme glory and power, in order to reap the faith of all beings."
"And the land where they dwelt became the so-called divine realm. And set up that only after all kinds of tribulations can they inherit the divine throne and ascend to the divine realm. Become a god for the faith of thousands of living beings."
"Therefore, the so-called god is just a title set up to distinguish one's own status and rights. The gods who are high up in the sky don't care about the suffering of ants, and naturally they can't talk about working for the well-being of all beings."
"Put away your childish thoughts, Riya. When you say responsibility, it's just a rhetoric they use to gather the beliefs of sentient beings. This is the truest side of the gods of this world."
Su Luoheng looked at Liya and said in a deep voice.
Perhaps in the beginning, there was a God who wanted to protect all beings. But the alms above all living beings have gradually changed the taste of this shelter. Their hearts began to corrupt. From the initial rescue, it has evolved into enslavement and oppression, and even brutal killing!
It's not that the gods must protect all sentient beings, after all, it is not easy to ascend to the divine realm and transcend sentient beings, and you must always have some privileges. Otherwise, wouldn't it be in vain to ascend to the divine realm?
It's just that since the gods draw faith from sentient beings, then in exchange, they should also fulfill some responsibilities, otherwise why should sentient beings sincerely believe in the gods?
The gods of the divine realm are obviously not qualified.
To be exact, they are not worthy of God!
The collapse of the soul guide civilization in the ultra-ancient times, and the Douluo Star that was devoured by the Divine Realm ten thousand years later, etc., all prove their hypocrisy, darkness, indifference, bloodiness and greed.
「……」
Hearing this, Liya was stunned.
Such subversive remarks made her realize for the first time that the divine realm was not as glorious as the legend, but had an ugly, vile and dark side like all living beings.
"Su Senpai ......"
"Huh?"
"You and the sea god...... Tang San, he has a grudge, right?"
"Almost."
After a pause, Su Luoheng said meaningfully, "Even if I don't go to find Tang San, he will find me."
"Here...... It's going to be destroyed, right?"
"Well, it will."
"But, not now."
「……」
Receiving an affirmative reply, Liya's eyes became determined.
Through her previous words, she saw that Su Luoheng was not only strong, but also far beyond ordinary people in his knowledge of the divine realm. If you can form an alliance with him, there is no possibility of revenge.
After all, if it were only up to their Sea Princess clan themselves, there would be no chance.
Of course, they can also choose to turn a blind eye and ignore it, and continue to worship the god of the sea as before, as if it never happened. Let the souls of his people be imprisoned.
therefrom
in exchange for the peace of the race.
But Ria has her own pride, she can die standing up, but she can't tolerate her soul being played with with such blasphemy.
She believed that her mother, the patriarch of the mermaid clan, the sea princess, was the same. Even if the mantis arm is a car, even if the enemy is a god, you must see their blood!
「……」
There was silence for a long time.
In the end, after taking a deep look at her grandmother's soul body and the soul body of thousands of sea soul beasts imprisoned here, Liya followed Su Luoheng and the Snow Emperor to leave this space.
……
……
In front of the Temple of the Sea.
Three figures walked out of the door.
Looking back at the towering hall behind him, and the statue of the sea god standing in the center of the square.
"Hehe, Poseidon...... What a hypocrisy for you, who protect the creatures of the sea, to imprison the souls of believers in this dark cage for eternity......
At this moment, Liya's mood has been completely different, and there is no longer the previous piety and respect. She sneered, and there was a deep hatred in her eyes that could not be erased.
"Tang San, Seagod, I'm very you."
"You are not worthy to be our god of the sea."
Thinking of the endless years, I don't know how many people's souls have been imprisoned in this Sea God Temple. And they still regard it as an offering of incense for faith, and the anger in Liya's heart burns.
Hehe......
What did their convincing, their willingness, get in exchange? only in exchange for his intensified oppression. In exchange, the souls of countless compatriots and clansmen have suffered here.
This is even more hateful than simply becoming a soul ring of a soul master!
"It's time for us to go."
At this time, Su Luoheng opened his mouth to remind.
Liya looked at the statue of the sea god and said, "Senior Su, I still have a question to solve."
"Huh?"
"What effect does the belief of our sea soul beast have on him?"
"Well, the strength of the gods in the divine realm, in addition to the limitations of their own god ranks, is also related to the beliefs of all living beings."
"The magical strength level can be roughly divided into five levels, from low to high, they are Divine Officer, Third-level Divine Only, Second-level Divine Only, First-level Divine Only, and Divine King."
"And the level of the god determines the upper limit of the strength of the god, and the power of faith provided by the believers is the lower limit that determines them. For gods of the same level, the higher the power of faith, the stronger their combat power will be."
"Tang San needs your faith to strengthen him. Therefore, he didn't put the matter of imprisoning the soul of the sea soul beast on the surface." Su Luoheng explained.
「……」
Riya suddenly thought of something, her eyes flashed slightly, and she asked, "Then, what if we don't provide him with the power of faith anymore? What will happen?"
"If it were only your Sea Princess, it would have little effect on him. After all, the followers of the sea god are spread all over the continent, and you are only a small part of them."
After a pause, Su Luoheng reminded, "As the god of the sea, the ocean is his home field. If the entire Sea Soul Beast Race breaks off their faith, then the result will be a different matter."
