Chapter 92: The Creation Myth (2)
Roach's mind turned quickly, he had a lot to ask, but the other party was just a phantom, it was a one-way communication process. Not being able to ask questions would have killed him, especially since he had a very curious question to ask right now.
But Mr. Shi, who is a good storyteller, pauses, "At this point in the story, you must feel that there is a dissonant part of the story." Since ascension to God is a choice, is there any other common cause in the world that can surpass becoming a god? ”
Roach nodded happily, knowing that the phantom would not see him.
Mr. Shi smiled and said, "First of all, what is God? This is a question I don't know the answer to. God, as we understand it, is a concept that arises from our and human cultures. We think that there was a god first, and then the second first parent attained the Godhead. But it may be the opposite, that it was our ancestors and the ancestors of humanity who witnessed the ascension of the Second Patriarch and its followers and then called the state in which they became gods. ”
Roach thought quickly, switching Mr. Shi's logic, and he soon realized that theoretically speaking, the Second Ancestor did not become a god, but a false god.
He thinks about what God is, everyone knows what God is, but in summary, God should be a supernatural supreme being, without a physical body, who created the world and all things, is not limited by the laws of nature, and can even formulate the laws of nature, and can dominate the world.
The ancestors originally created the wizarding world and formulated the natural laws of the wizarding world, and their magical abilities were so powerful that they were almost unrestricted by the laws and naturally dominated the world. This is almost God, and according to the concept of God, the ancestors only had one more physical existence. The Second Ancestor went to the extreme, and even abandoned his physical body, and in doing so, he obtained a higher degree of existence than the other Ancestors, and this form of existence made him not care about the ants in the world, and he did not care about the supreme great deeds, and he might even regard the First Ancestor as an ant.
This feeling makes Luo Qi uncomfortable, just like he Luo Qi, suddenly one day he doesn't care about the world, Du Zhengyi doesn't care if he is alive or dead, he doesn't care if his parents have successfully escaped Qionglin's sanctions, and he doesn't want to know if his friends are doing well...... This is indeed what the Highland Mages persuaded him to do, and they persuaded him to join their community, become a part of them, and eventually become an immortal. But he didn't want to choose this way, there are benefits to becoming a god, but there must be exchanges and trade-offs. For him, not wanting to be God does not mean self-sacrifice, but rather that he is truly content with his present state of being.
Mr. Shi continued, interrupting his musings, "Humans have their own way of explaining all this, they have observed the ascension of the mages, and maybe some of the mages are also happy to let them try, so they have taught them some ways to prepare for the ascension. These have left many shadows on human beings, such as Buddhism and Taoism, human beings imitate their behavior, try to let go of their obsession with the world, reach a certain state, and expect to become another form of existence. ”
Luo Qi's heart calmed down a little, he thought of countless cultivators, and also thought of more people who sank in the red dust. Inside and outside the door, human beings have been thinking about trade-offs, there are always people who choose to practice, and there are always people who choose the sorrows and joys of the world. Roach can understand the first one, but he can also understand the choice of the second ancestor, for him it may be all in vain, and finally realize the true meaning, and become a god with a thought. Becoming a god may have been a better choice at the time, and Mr. Shi's story also said that almost all the other Ancestor Mages went with him.
So in other words, after that, only the head is alone in his common cause? Roach suddenly thought of this, and felt a lot of sadness, but also a trace of fear.
But Mr. Shi's first next sentence shattered the sympathy of the founding deity of Luo Qidu.
The Second Ancestor was gone, and the punishment fell on his descendants, the descendants of the Du family. The sons of God and man are born with divine powers, and the Lord uses them with ease. From the very beginning, the Doons became the blades in the hands of the head, bound by all sorts of tight and loose knots, and they helped the Supreme Council to maintain balance and order in the world. In the golden age, the Du clan was the God of War clan, and most of them were brave and good at fighting and had bright brains. However, after a few more millennia, the decline of magic began to become apparent, and under this general trend, Du's ability naturally weakened, but compared to ordinary mages, they had a more difficult problem of their own. I think you've probably thought that generation after generation, millennium after millennium, the bloodline of the second ancestor is constantly being diluted. Every three to five generations, Doo's magical abilities will decline significantly, and if expressed in a curve, the decline in their abilities is much greater than that of ordinary mages. The Ares clan is gradually becoming more and more mundane, getting closer and closer to ordinary mages, and it is only by chance that they will give birth to a descendant similar to their ancestors. So, it was against this background that the second catastrophe of the family began. ”
Mr. Shi's voice lowered, and Rocky saw that the light in the forest had dimmed, and the angle of the sun had fallen on the ground covered with pine branches. The day is coming to an end, and in such a season, the days of the Silver Pine Forest are getting shorter and precious.
"With the ancestor's bloodline, but their abilities are close to those of ordinary mages, this makes many mages start to have the guts to covet them. There have been countless rumors circulating in the mage's world, saying that by pouring an ancient magical structure with the blood of the Du clan, the ancient treasure of the ancestor mage can be destroyed. Someone did try, and more than one Du Shi was killed to take blood, and it turned out to be nothing more than a rumor. Of course, for Du Shi, this is a disaster and a tragedy, and by the time the world finally believes that the stupid words of taking blood are useless, many people have died in vain. The Du family had no choice but to shrink, and this family had been very close to each other before, and after the weakening of their power, they completely lived together. ”
Luo Qi thought of the town in the south of the Yangtze River, which was the old mansion where the Du family had lived in the last few hundred years, and it was also the ancestral place where Du Tingxiu finally gathered his people to return.
"What we do know is that about a thousand years ago, someone did use the Du clan to open the gates, and as a result, the rebellion was triggered, and I think you know it. For this world, there will never be a shortage of careerists, let alone madmen, and Du's power is constantly weakening, but it may still be used as the key to open the door, and the outcome may have been doomed. Mr. Shi said, his voice trembling slightly, as if a powerful emotion was about to erupt from under her calm and wise appearance.
A chill swept up from below Roach's spine, and his scalp tingled slightly.
Mr. Shi controlled his emotions, and his tone was slightly weird, "Of course, directly executing all the weak Du Shi is a choice once and for all, just like dealing with a harmful and failed asset. ”
