Chapter 29: No Conscience
After a long time, why did you come back with an apple?
Turning the apple in his hand, he saw the smiling face on it turn into a crying face little by little, Gu Jiancheng wondered if this thing still had a change of face?
He remembered that the one he had chosen before was obviously an invisible black gas, which didn't look like a good thing, but instinct told him that it was good for him, and after a little hesitation, he still took the black gas from the boy's hand.
As a result, it turned into a smiling apple in his hand, oh, and now crying......
He has also heard of this thing for a long time, and he has seen and heard it twice, spanning 4,000 years of history.
The fat man hadn't caught up with the corrosive seed in front of them, but he didn't expect him to get another one.
Naturally, the family contract was not signed, and it was just to test whether he could respond to the prayers of the believers, and he only responded to the boy's prayers.
After he took in the black qi hovering around the boy, there was a pure power response, washing the dying woman lying on the hospital bed behind the boy.
He didn't feel the flow or source of this power, and he hadn't figured out how it worked.
But in the previous ritual of responding to the prayers of believers, he figured out two cores, one is the believer, and the other is equivalence.
The so-called equivalence refers to the "offerings" offered by believers, which are roughly equivalent to the gifts of the gods.
Of course, after all, it is the king of the abyss, flexibility, and this equivalence needs to be put in quotation marks, and the bottom line is flexible, and it can be advanced or retreated, all according to conscience.
It seems to be the principle of equivalence, but in fact there is a fatal problem hidden in it, that is, the immeasurable gap between the praying gods and the praying gods has led to the incomparable values of the two sides, and the final right to speak.
Take the boy from the moment earlier, for example.
His prayer was to save his mother, who for him was all he had, a priceless thing.
If this is calculated, even if he accepts the boy's soul, he may not be able to balance the equivalent balance of the ritual.
But for the supreme abyss, saving a woman who has suffered from the plague is not even a "thing".
So there's a lot of room for manipulation, and although it's said to be "equivalent", it's actually all up to the conscience of the gods.
The other core is the believer himself.
In the flow of information that Gu Jiancheng just got-
All souls are born on the river of origin and go down the river.
Only the gods swim against the current.
Swimming against the tide has given them extraordinary power, but also made them face inescapable calamities.
Some people call this "Taoism" and "Harmony", but more gods call it "lost".
As long as you embark on the path against the current, you will face the possibility of getting lost in the long river of origin.
This is a constraint, and it is also a part of the circular heavenly principle.
That's why the gods need the Anchor of Survival.
The core of the "Anchor of Existence" is to strengthen the connection with the present world.
The "observation" of a large number of intelligent life is the most important means to effectively deepen and strengthen the anchor.
This is also where the importance of all spirits to the gods lies, and it is also the meaning of the existence of the kingdom of God and the path.
Before the [Star Territory] is constructed, unless it is a completely detached [Great], even the gods cannot live in isolation.
And now, the [Greats] who are standing at the top of the world can no longer avoid the problem of being lost, and the backlash of the long river of origin on the creatures on both sides of the other side has reached the most serious level.
The first of these is the [Lord of the Stars] who suppresses the tide of silence.
The significance of the "Anchor of Survival" is becoming more and more important.
As a god, responding to the prayers of believers and being [observed] by believers is in itself equivalent to deepening one's connection with the world and stabilizing one's own anchor in the world.
But there is a hidden danger here, or a restriction on the gods.
Believers have the qualifications to choose gods, but the gods do not have the qualifications to refuse to believe, and how to choose the right believers is a compulsory subject for every god.
In the flow of information obtained by Gu Jiancheng, it is clearly recorded that there are many gods in history who were finally polluted by their anchors because they were unrestrained and absorbed the power of believers' beliefs.
The best ending of them is also to be coerced by the thoughts of hundreds of millions of sentient beings, to be ignorant of spiritual wisdom, and to become the [unity of thoughts] that hosts the expectations of all souls.
He had previously encountered numerous black bubbles.
Those are the "harmful" believers, and they are the easiest to identify.
After getting this secret from the flow of information, Gu Jiancheng was thinking, is it because of this reason that the [Lord of the Stars] rejected all beliefs from the beginning?
After pondering for a long time, there were a few questions that he couldn't figure out even if he wanted to break his head, and he felt a little boring, so he wanted to have some fun.
He weighed the apple in his hand: "Give Ye a smile?" β
(ΰ²₯_ΰ²₯)β(κͺοΉκͺ)
Gu Jiancheng: (a''one)
Is a foolish smile a laugh?
"What, emotional?"
(κͺοΉκͺ)β\(^o^)/
"What are you doing with such a bright smile? A shy and timid smile! β
o(*////β½////*)q
"It's not a yellow flower girl, what are you doing with such a reserve? Do you understand the kind of eyebrows and eyes that have both the shyness of a girl and a little bit of the charm and affection of a mature woman......"
β¦β¦
It's hard to get down.
Gu Jian Cheng finished the work satisfied.
The expression on the apple has turned into a puddle of "mud" and is completely unmoving.
As for why the seed of dignified corruption is so humble now, Gu Jiancheng attributed everything to this place.
It's the palace of the Great Abyss, and it is effortless to suppress the power seed of an evil god.
And since he can bring things in from the outside, it means he can bring them out......
After a short leisure, Gu Jiancheng decided to review the homework just now.
He once again responded to the prayer of the believers of the Great Abyssβ
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
"Got it figured out." The woman said coldly, "The boy you chose is a member of the slum, and his mother is the carrier of the 'plague', and the 'plague' attacked ten minutes ago, and the boy was desperate and chose to sacrifice Dayuan, who took the corrosive seed you gave him. β
"You didn't bring the boy back?" The man frowned.
"The old lady is an intelligence group, not a combat group!" The woman said impatiently, "Do you know how many people in the city are eyeing that boy right now? Ji Ranglan personally led people to block the slum! I can get the news, or the previous inner line has not been completely removed! β
The man's heart sank suddenly.
In fact, he had already expected it, after all, it was a suspicious [King of the Great Abyss] gaze.
Even if this was the territory of the Star God System, that boy was bound to receive unimaginable attention.
"What's next?" After calming down, the man asked.
"Let your people organize sacrifices!" The woman said decisively, "We have to determine the state of the Great Abyss first!" β
"But I don't have the seed of corrosion!" The man said in a deep voice.
"What's the use! Don't you still have a corrosive heart? The woman asked rhetorically, and then analyzed, "Since Da Yuan is interested in the Seed of Corrosion, he will inevitably be interested in the Heart of Corrosion!" β
And after seeing the man's face change instantly, she couldn't help but accentuate her tone and said solemnly,
"You can apply for compensation as much as you want afterwards, the church will not treat you badly, the most important thing now is to confirm the state of the Great Abyss, you have to distinguish the form!"
The man's face is stiff, and he can carry the seed of corruption in his body because of the corrosive heart.
As the Seventh Apostle's weapon [Corrosion] created on the other side, its body is hidden deep in the deep world below the "three".
Only His chosen "chosen people" can receive the seeds of corruption and spread the power of corruption in this world.
The heart of corruption is the symbol of the "elect", and it is also the core of the continuous regeneration of the seeds of corrosion.
It can be said that this is the foundation of his foothold in the church!
"I only have one Corrosive Heart!" He growled, "You only have one chance to verify, and you have to take it!" β
"I know!" The woman said viciously, "I will come to this sacrifice!" I have come to worship the King of the Abyss myself! β
"What do you want to do?"
"I have the [believer mask] of the church, and I can pretend to be a fanatic believer in the abyss." The woman's face was gloomy and she said, "Trade the Corrosive Heart for a chance to communicate, if he is really interested in the Corrosive Power Seed, He will not refuse!" β
"And as a fanatic, I care about the state of believing in the gods, and he will not be suspicious!"
The woman's kiss is unusually firm.
But her turbulent and undulating chest, as well as the panic in her eyes, revealed her true mood.
The man warned: "Aren't you afraid that you will be put on a hard fight by Him and get nothing in the end?" According to the information collected by the church, this majesty's reputation among the gods is not good, and he has played with countless gods, which can be said to be infamous! This is not a fabrication made up by the Church out of thin air, but a true record that He is the complete opposite of the righteous Aurora One! β
The woman said irritably: "Equivalent exchange is originally the first law of god-man interaction after the Age of Stars!" He has just broken through the barriers to this world, and now is the critical moment when it is urgent to develop believers to stabilize their anchors. Moreover, the legendary king of the abyss is all harmed by gods, not the humble ten thousand spirit ants! β
"Got it? He only pits the gods! β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Gu Jiancheng sniffed.
I don't know if someone was talking to him, causing him to sneeze again.
He looked at the black mist in front of him that was countless times more condensed than the previous one, faintly showing a smiling face.
Some hesitation.
Although some things have not yet been clarified, this does not prevent him from getting a lot of authority.
For example, just now, he centered on the boy in the imperial capital and sifted through the area, and most of the countless bubbles that were originally dense suddenly disappeared.
There are only a thousand Dao left, all of which belong to the territory of the imperial capital.
Although thousands are still terrifying, under the huge population base of the imperial capital, it seems very small.
Ninety percent of them are "fake" black.
Where are so many false believers?
Gu Jiancheng wondered if he would find a time to finish off this group of false believers another day.
And in this pile of garbage, there is a pale golden bubble that is particularly conspicuous, which makes Gu Jiancheng's eyes shine.
Pale gold, like the previous boys, should be normal, right?
Let him be Kangkang, the request of this believer......
Well, the other party is willing to offer a corrupt heart, just to meet the great king of the abyss, and listen to the holy voice and guidance of the gods......
The requirements are really not high, to put it simply, the ten-year-old fans come uninvited, and they are willing to go bankrupt just to see an idol, which is not comparable with the value of the offerings.
It turns out that this thing is called the Heart of Corrosion...... Well?
Gu Jiancheng instantly became alert.
Under what circumstances would someone indicate that they are willing to worship a corrupt heart to see God?
Combined with the fact that he just got a corrosive seed from the boy in the imperial capital not long ago, saying that there is no problem in it, who believes it?
It seems that pale gold is also not a symbol of absolute security...... Gu Jiancheng secretly remembered.
He is now having some difficulty riding a tiger, should he answer this prayer?
In terms of his life creed, it is already stupid to take the initiative to walk in when he knows that there is a trap.
But another credo tells him that taking risks is often the quickest way to get something out, provided you can afford to fail.
He calmly thinks about gains and losses.
His heart was inclined to "take risks", because he wanted to see who in the imperial capital was trying to plot against the King of the Great Abyss.
He can't choose the camp anymore, so he must at least find out who the enemy is and then take the initiative.
After confirming that he could cut off contact at any time, Gu Jiancheng decided to take a risk.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Looking at the sacrificial ritual under his feet, the man said in a hurried tone: "He has answered you, Dayuan......"
"Shut up! Get out! The woman shouted, and then stopped paying attention to the man behind her.
Even with the [Disguise Mask], she still didn't dare to be careless in front of a god of this level!
Revealing flaws is death, and there is no way back!
She calmed her mind, and with the blessing of the mask, reverently recited Obuchi's name according to the process she had always had, repeating her prayer over and over again......
"Come, O God, so that the lowly believers may see you as ......"
"Please save us from fire and water......"
"O great king of the abyss, please have mercy on your devout believers......"
A slight breeze blew across the woman's countenance.
The air froze, the flickering candle flame stood still, but the darkness on the walls still wriggled until it filled every corner of the room and engulfed the candle flame.
In the lightless world, the solemn and cold figure stood out in the darkness, lowering the eyes of the ancient gods.
The woman trembled slightly, lowering her head more and more, she was uncontrollably afraid!
This is the [King of the Great Abyss], the most ancient king known as the second pillar of the world!
He is the Lord of Billions of Evil Gods, and the King of Endless Demon Gods! Even if the four gods on the other side come out together, they can't let him completely annihilate!
She kept reciting the name of Obuchi, and with the blessing of the mask, her heart was really filled with fanatical faith, and she became a fanatical believer, but she never lost the last clarity.
Untilβ
god
It's coming.
The woman felt that she was being watched by a majestic and cold gaze, and she fell to the ground and said respectfully:
"God is above! Please allow me, who is under the stars, to offer you the most devout faith! β
In ancient legends, Obuchi and the stars were once a pair of mortal enemies, and gradually shook hands and made peace in countless wars, but this did not prevent the two from secretly stumbling on each other.
In the name of the stars, she praised the majesty of the abyss, which was a clever plan.
Then there was a silent silence.
Depressed, silent, like the tranquility before a rainstorm, it makes people almost crazy.
Until another indescribable voice echoed in the woman's ears.
ββ¦β¦ Lately fewer and fewer people have believed in me, and I have come to the world to see who is robbing me of my glory. β
The woman suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, this god showed an intention to communicate, which is a good thing!
She hurriedly said, "Even the stars can't overshadow your brilliance!" β
She didn't look up, but she seemed to feel the figure in front of her slowly nodding her head, giving her affirmation.
"Very well, I see your piety and zeal, it is good, keep your faith, I need you to tell the world on my behalf that the time is near, and my kingdom is coming."
The woman's heart was shocked, as if she had been hit by a heavy hammer.
The great abyss is about to return from the kingdom of God?!
"Believers who pray to me, tell me your prayers."
The majestic voice sounded again.
The woman hurriedly came back to her senses and said reverently: "I don't have any requirements, a humble ant like me, it is a blessing in my life to see you!" It would be ...... if it could follow you from now on."
"Raise your head."
The god interrupted her.
The woman looked up tremblingly.
In the endless darkness, the silhouette of the figure is still majestic, making people want to bow and worship, taking away all the glory of the world.
"Is this what you're praying for?"
The woman's heart tightened, knowing that the critical moment had come!
Her real purpose was naturally not just to meet each other, she wanted to extract more information from this person's mouth.
In the conversation just now, His Majesty seemed to have a good impression of her! If you can take this opportunity to become a family member or even a beacon of this majesty, it will be ......
Just imagined the future for a moment, and she almost couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart.
"Your Majesty, I ......"
"Then this response is over."
The woman was about to speak, but the whisper from the gods made her stunned.
"It's a fair deal."
The Venerable God of the Great Abyss emphasized in a deep tone.
