645 Bane
"We have a lot of time, you can ask slowly."
Arceus nodded, unfazed.
There are many ...... Time?
Su Bai looked at Arceus strangely, and automatically attributed the reason why Arceus said this to the particularity of this space.
After all, it is said that the human brain's thinking has reached the speed of light, and it is not impossible for time to stand still.
He thought about it for a moment and asked the first question seriously, which was also the question that he had been buried deep in his heart since he got the system.
"I'm ...... Did you get it into this world? β
Arceus seemed completely unsurprised by the question, and said unhurriedly: "Yes, it's me." β
"But it's complicated to explain why I'm doing it."
Su Bai spread his hands: "Like you said, we have a lot of time. β
He had always had questions about why he came to this world and kept the memories of his past life.
And...... As a tragic working person who died suddenly in the process of going to work...... He believes that there are many more such people.
Why among so many people...... Did you choose yourself?
Because you're special?
However, this idea was immediately and ruthlessly shattered by Arceus.
"No, you're not special, at least you weren't special at the time."
Arceus took a sip of tea and said lightly: "To explain this...... It started a long time ago. β
"First of all, I want to tell you that the will of the world is real."
"It's just that most of the world's will, or according to your previous life, called the Heavenly Dao, has no autonomous consciousness."
"They will only operate silently, and everything that happens in the world is only a passing cloud in the eyes of the will of the world."
"You should be able to understand that they are high up above everything and have no concept of good and evil at all, right?"
Su Bai nodded hesitantly, it was true.
As the will of the world, it should not have its own preferences, otherwise, the world is destined to collapse due to loss of balance.
Whether it's a human being, it's a matter of other forms of life.
These struggles should not affect this level, which is in line with Su Bai's impression of the description of "Heavenly Dao".
After all...... Heaven is ruthless!
"But the 'world' is so big that anything can happen, so there is actually not a lot of world will that has consciousness."
"The birth of these consciousnesses of the will of the world is often accompanied by disasters that threaten to destroy the world."
"This is a means for the world to save itself...... Or as you put it, it's a self-preservation mechanism. β
"And this kind of world will is actually very rare."
"Any world will that has an autonomous consciousness...... Eventually, it is possible to grow into something like me. β
"Actually, it's what you call a god."
"They are in their own world, they can do anything, they have the power to change everything."
"But since you are 'gods', these gods do not have any 'desires' of their own, which may be difficult for you to understand, but your needs as intelligent beings are not attractive to the gods at all."
Arceus's words made Su Bai a little confused.
But more or less, I can still understand a little.
After all, a life form at this level, even if it has desires, should not be understood by a life form at this level of human beings, which of course includes him Su Bai.
"The fact that there are such 'gods' in any universe is a good thing for other 'gods'."
"We don't need desires, but we also crave like-minded people."
Arceus tried his best to explain his feelings in a language that Su Bai could understand.
"Therefore, once one deity sends a signal to 'ask for help,' the other deities will often do everything they can to help this new 'life.'"
"Two thousand years ago, because the war of mankind reached the upper limit of what this world can carry, the world will of this world awakened."
"Maybe it's because consciousness has just been born, and this 'god' is very naΓ―ve in his way of doing things."
"This childish method has planted a curse for himself."
Arceus shook his head, clearly regretful.
There are very few places in all the universes where 'gods' can be born.
Outcome...... The way in which the 'gods' born in this world deal with things...... It's really not cautious enough.
"The power of the 'gods' is almost invincible in the native world, and often when this happens, the awakened 'gods' will choose to destroy the entire world and zero everything to zero."
Su Bai nodded in a sudden realization, remembering those legends of the destruction of the world before the crossing.
If that's the case, then those great floods or some kind of catastrophe will destroy the world...... Isn't it also a reboot?
Even meteorite impacts that lead to species extinction...... Maybe it's also an option for the 'gods' under ecological imbalance?
The avenue is merciless...... The survival of life forms of this level of human beings is for the existence of this level...... It doesn't seem to make sense.
"But...... This newly-born 'deity' did not choose to do so. β
Arceus's face showed a rare trace of regret.
"He thought that allowing humans to use thermal weapons to kill each other would cause the world to collapse, so he spent most of his efforts rewriting the rules of this world."
"Rewriting the rules of the world is a very draining thing, and after doing all this, he chose to let humanity fend for itself, and let humanity decide whether it can continue to exist."
"Therefore, He divided the remaining sources of power into two parts, light and darkness, and gave them to the two teenagers."
Su Bai nodded suddenly in realization, these two teenagers are the godfather and his younger brother, that is, the second uncle.
So...... How powerful are the gods?
Just a little bit of power left to make such a big impact?
"The power level of the 'gods', even if it is a 'god' who has just awakened, the power level is beyond your imagination."
Arceus shook his head suddenly, a rare hint of regret in his voice.
"Originally, according to His idea, whether the light side wins or the dark side wins, the flame of civilization will be preserved, and He can continue to sleep until he regains his strength."
"For the 'gods', a well-established civilization is also an important source of strength, and he may have taken this into account to prevent everything from going to zero."
"But...... He underestimated humanity. β
"To be precise, underestimate the child who was 'darkly' chosen."
About nineteen years ago, He discovered that He was ...... It's being eaten away! β
