Chapter Eighty-Three: Divinity
ββ¦β¦ Huh? Usurpation of divinity? Is the wolf a sacrifice? β
The wolf god's words made Sherea stunned.
"Let's explain them one by one." The wolf god explained: "I am the wolf god, and a hundred years ago, people called me ...... Sundake God. The god of the mountains was born out of the awe of nature and the mountains. β
"Oh?" Xiao was also a little surprised, "What kind of god are you?" β
"That's right." The wolf god shook his head, "As for why I became the wolf god I am today, it has to start from a hundred years ago, a hundred years ago, a world-class war broke out, and countless gods participated in it, and I, a god of the mountains, could not interfere, I could only bear it." β
"And the people of that time were also ravaged by war and famine, and the will to live swallowed up the faith of reverence, and weakened my strength. Then, the devastation of the land by the war, and the attack of the gods from other countries at that time, left me so scarred that I could not even get up. It was then, as if as fate would have it, that a human child appeared before me. β
"The child, who had fled into the mountains in search of food, was filled with hatred for the invaders, and was on the verge of starvation, causing his reason to crumble, and even though he knew that I was God, his madness was still beyond the fear of God. The child tore open my belly, gnawed at my flesh and organs, and drank my blood. β
"So the kid ate you?" Xiao couldn't help frowning, he also understood the source of the wound on the wolf god's abdomen, it was indeed a tearing wound, there was no blood and internal organs, it turned out to be eaten up.
"I did, but I didn't eat it completely, after all, I'm quite big." The wolf god then said, "But a part of my divinity was also acquired by the child. The so-called divinity is the power to absorb people's emotions as a force and respond to people's expectations and turn them into reality, which is the origin of the legend that the so-called gods will respond to people's beliefs and create miracles. β
"Moreover, there is also the concept of origin of divinity, and my origin is the awe of the heart, and as long as there is reverence in the heart, I can draw strength from it. And the origin of the child's divinity is madness, which is why the child will always perform the feasting rituals that lead people into madness. β
"I tried to stop it, but the child knew the nature of divinity, and I was originally a wolf, so he kept tampering with my legend in secret, causing me to gradually change from a natural god of Xunyue to a wolf god of beasts, and also used my existence to perfect his feasting rituals."
"Because the legend has been tampered with, people's perception of me has been changed, and I have become no match for the child at all, so I can only secretly hinder the feast without being discovered, and the child's divinity comes from me after all, and I can still do one thing, that is, to restrain it from leaving the mountains, so that the sins I created cannot harm more people, until today."
Listening to the words of the wolf god, Xiao couldn't help but wonder: "You...... Is it just being played with casually? β
"God is created by man, worshipped but always inferior to man." SherΓ©a explains: "As long as there are ideas and the ability to convince others, God is nothing more than a plaything in the palm of man's hand. β
Sherea paused for a moment, and then said: "I see, since the false gods have divinity, they must also use the ability to make people fall into madness, and it is no wonder that everyone is so radical and does all kinds of irrational crazy behavior. God cannot directly create human emotions, because God exists because of human emotions. Just like human cooking, people cannot create food out of thin air, they can only obtain food through various means, and they also need to have superb skills to make food into delicious dishes. β
"That's true, yes." The wolf god agreed, but it couldn't help but be a little worried about whether Xiao Yi could understand, after all, he didn't believe in this.
However, Xiao Yi's face did not have a trace of doubt, but said: "In other words, as long as we think you are what you are and what you can do, you will make changes accordingly." I see, I understand that the so-called god is a quantum being. β
Xiao Yi actually thought about it carefully, it is indeed a little strange that a dog can live for a hundred years, and it must have been transformed. Coupled with the dialogue between the wolf god and Serea, Xiao has already figured everything out.
It seems that the war of a hundred years ago led to the explosion of technology, and people have developed weapons that can determine war. A quantum existence like a wolf god has also been studied, and if it weren't for that, a wolf wouldn't have survived for so long.
It was customary to call powerful beings gods, and in those days, it was not uncommon for this quantum being to be called gods.
Xiao Yi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it turned out that the development of such extraordinary abilities had been there a hundred years ago, no wonder some awesome characters can be seen now, it seems that this system is very mature.
Since he saw the existence of special abilities in the professor's house, and gave the professor's inheritance, that is, the original text, to Mao, Xiao Yi felt that he had gradually come into contact with the hidden side of this world, and he was more or less a master, otherwise the Dragon Kingdom would not have come to him specifically and gave him such a good treatment.
As for the strange rules, it should be a special mission that only the capable can participate in, and what can be done anywhere, and the capable people all over the world will participate.
gradually saw a new world, and Xiao Yi also felt that his previous common sense seemed to need to be revised slightly.
ββ¦β¦ Quantum? The wolf god was stunned, and he wondered if quantum was not an existence of this nature?
"Don't you know? What bizarre abilities are explained in the movie by quantum mechanics. Xiao Yi smiled confidently, "How else can you explain it?" There can't really be any gods, right? β
Xiao couldn't help but feel that the superpower system was really complicated, but fortunately he was smart enough to understand. Xiao Yi also understood now how to deal with the enemy who is called a god in the future.
The ...... wolf god and SherΓ©a were silent for a moment.
I didn't expect the existence of God to be so deconstructed...... But they're not going to explain anything more, so let's just take it as it is.
Shereya asked, "So the child is a false god, so you should know who the false god is, right?" β
"Unfortunately, I don't know." The wolf god said: "That was a hundred years ago, and I don't know what the child, that is, the false god you call now, and what his identity is, after all, I can't be discovered by the false god, I can only choose the night that is not easy to be discovered." β
"Really?" Shereya was a little helpless, and there was no way to do it.
The wolf god continued, "Let's continue the conversation...... The reason you were chosen as wolves is because you two are the most resistant to killing. β
"The most resistant to killing?" Sherrea instantly understood the meaning, "If we really kill people, the madness caused by strong emotions is a perfect delicacy for a false god." β
From this point of view, Xiao's decision not to kill people is indeed quite correct.
"That's right, that's why I wanted to kill you directly to stop his plan, but ......" The wolf god still glanced at Xiao Yi with some fear, "I failed." β
"All in all, what kind of false god is the real murderer." Xiao also made a conclusion and gave the next course of action, "Then let's find the pseudo-god and then kill the pseudo-god ruthlessly!" β
"Unfortunately, I'm afraid you're no match for the false gods." However, the wolf god said so.
"What does that mean?" SherΓ©a asked: "Even if I am not strong enough, Xiao can still defeat you, and the false god was born based on you, no matter how strong can it be?" β
"That's true, but ...... That pseudo-god got the power of rank far beyond Xiao Yi out of nowhere! I'm afraid we're no match for it! β
The wolf god looked at Serrea and explained:
"There is a hierarchy between powers. If there is a conflict between two people's powers, the priority will be determined by their rank, and if they are of the same rank, the two powers will cancel each other out or even invalidate each other. Sherea, although your strength is far stronger than mine, however, your power and mine are still on the same level, and if our power conflicts, our power will be invalidated, and we will need to use other means to decide the winner. β
The wolf god looked at Xiao Yi again and continued to explain:
"The higher level power has a higher priority, and it can directly override the power of the lower rank, Xiao Yi, your power level is above the power of the gods, that's why you can defeat me. However, the mysterious power of the false god is still above you! That's why I say you're not a false god opponent. Knowing this, are you sure you want to challenge the false gods? β
When Sherea heard this, her brow furrowed. Are false gods invincible?
Shereya couldn't help but look at Xiao Yi, and he believed that Xiao Yi would definitely bring hope.
However, Xiao Yi, who was watched by a man and a wolf, asked an unexpected question.
He asked the wolf god, "How did you know our names?" β
"......" The wolf god is almost not restrained, at such a critical moment, do you actually care about such trivial matters?
But the wolf god had no choice but to answer: "The hook-nosed man just now shouted your name so loudly, I don't think it's hard to hear it." β
"I see."
"In short, you should also understand that you can't defeat the false gods, right?"
"Understood." Xiao Yi nodded, and then asked, "But so what?" β
ββ¦β¦ Huh? The wolf god was stunned.
Xiao Yi's expression was not moved in the slightest because he knew the strength of the enemy.
Xiao also said: "If you can't beat it, you will know if you try it." If you do it, you may not succeed, but if you don't do it, you will not succeed, you should understand such a simple truth, right? β
ββ¦β¦ Well, you're right. The wolf god seemed to smile, "You really make me feel like a fool, if only I had trusted you earlier." That would have ended sooner. β
Subsequently, the wolf god changed from a sitting posture to a majestic battle posture.
"Let me help you, it's my responsibility. Actually, thanks to you, this feast has not allowed the False Gods to get enough madness, and the False Gods must be crazy right now. Even if the false gods have higher powers, they are still weak, and that power does not necessarily restrain us completely. Our odds are low, but by no means zero. β
"Well, Xiao Yi is right, how can you know if you don't try." Sherea asked, "There is only one question left, who are the false gods?" β
"Hmm......" Xiao Yi thought about the question that was far beyond his own ability, and he also showed a distressed expression because of this.
"The only clue at the moment is the sudden death of those two people, and it is very likely that the mother-in-law was killed because of the clues about the true identity of the false god. β
"Mother-in-law? The old human? The wolf god suddenly sighed and said, "On the first day of the feast, I came into contact with this human who had been collecting information about the feast, and I killed her. β
"Contact?" What did Serreya think, and he hurriedly asked the wolf god, "What did you do then?" β
"Nothing." The wolf god replied, "It was I who told her the truth about some of the past events and the feast by writing on the ground, hoping that she would stop the feast." β
"Writing?" Sereya hurriedly asked, "What did you write at that time?" Maybe my mother-in-law deduced who the false god was from this! β
"Speaking of which......" replied the wolf god, "the human's face changed suddenly after I wrote what I had written, and he hurriedly recorded what I had written. I remember what I wrote was...... A hundred years ago, the human child who usurped my divinity was named Xiyun. β
