Chapter 137: The Gods
Wen Yue stood beside Lin Shu, she had to stand here, because Ao Yun had lowered her big head and maintained a head-level angle with Lin Shu, Wen Yue had been instilled with the concept of reverence for gods since she was a child, and now seeing this god that has always existed only in the album, circulated in people's mouths, and solemnly hidden in her own mind, Wen Yue has a sense of absurdity and confusion.
"Ao Yun, what about that guy?"
"That, that's him, he's been killed by his own magic!"
Ao Yun said embarrassedly, and looked at Lin Shu with some carelessness, but Lin Shu was taken aback, and then asked in surprise: "How could he be killed by his own magic?"
Ao Yun immediately came to the spirit, and told the story of the time in a vivid voice, Wen Yue only then realized that there was a seventh-order powerhouse chasing Lin Shu, and couldn't help but glance at Lin Shu, and at the same time a little afraid, fortunately he didn't chase too close, otherwise if he was discovered by the seventh-order powerhouse, it would be over!
"So that's the case, but Ao Yun, do you have to use your vortex magic like this? can't make it small, just throw it next to the person, or throw it into the shield, or get a few more, put a few in all directions, then he will be dead when he runs that way, you make such a big one, isn't it a waste!"
Ao Yun was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "Yes, I'm so stupid! If the vortex is very small, it is enough to be fatal, hehe, I will know how to use it in the future, this is the magic that I have just comprehended!"
Lin Shu glanced at Wen Yue and found that her emotions had gradually calmed down, so he turned his head with a smile and asked, "Wen Yue, tell me about you, why do you think Ao Yun is a god?
"She's a god in the first place, isn't it!" Wen Yue retorted loudly, but then her face turned slightly red, and she looked at Ao Yun apologetically, and Ao Yun grinned. Wen Yue breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the gods were still an existence in her heart that she couldn't face calmly.
"That, that, the picture book I saw when I was a child, and the legendary god I heard was like this, so I naturally thought she was a god. She can only be a god, otherwise what would she be?"
Lin Shu looked at Wen Yue's somewhat stupid eyes, and hurriedly asked, "What you said is confused, not only do I not understand, I'm afraid your gods don't understand either, let's make it clear!"
"Oh!" Wen Yue glanced at Ao Yun respectfully, Ao Yun smiled proudly again, Wen Yue sorted out her thoughts and said slowly:
"Just look at me, I'm not a Green Star. I'm from the underworld, and I'm an enemy of your Green Star. ”
Lin Shu nodded, with a very calm expression, Wen Yue couldn't help but ask curiously, "I'm your enemy, don't you care?"
"Alien? It's just a different race, and it's beautiful, hehe, as for the enemy or something. I only represent myself, not anyone else, when you are not my enemy. You are not my enemy. ”
Wen Yue's eyes flashed, turned her head to look at Ao Yun and continued: "There are eight races in the underworld, in fact, these eight races are divided into three camps, one is the radical faction, that is, the faction that advocates invasion and snatching of living space, one faction is the liberal, advocates independent development and seeks their own way out, and the other faction is the moderate faction, hoping to seek cooperation and coexistence through compromise. ”
"By the way, are there skeletons, ghosts, or anything in the underworld?"
Wen Yue rolled her eyes: "No, we are in the underworld plane, not the necromancy realm, nor the underworld, there are no things you expect at all." ”
"Uh, okay when I didn't ask. ”
"Hee-hee" Ao Yun snickered.
"Our clan is called the Nine Shadows, and we belong to one of the three moderates, the other two moderates are the Nara and the Dragons, the liberals are the Rakya and the Ganda, and the radicals are the Shura, Yancha and Garud"
Lin Shu's heart suddenly moved, and he interrupted Wen Yue's narration again: "Wait, what you said about the Nine Shadows is a transliteration, in your local words, what does the Nine Shadows mean?"
Wen Yue looked at Lin Shu in surprise, but still replied seriously: "It represents the meaning of heaven and man, that is, the descendants of the gods who rule all beings." ”
Lin Shu sighed, frowned tightly, and then said with relief: "I see, then please continue." ”
Wen also looked at Lin Shu in confusion, but did not continue to investigate.
"This kind of division has begun to occur since the discovery of the plane channel, and I don't know why the path has developed to the point of war to resolve differences, our three clans have always been gentle, naturally not the opponents of the warlike Shura, Yancha and Galou clans, and then we were coerced to participate in the plane war, of course, this is just a legend within our clan, but I believe that it is not far from the truth, because our people don't like to lie!"
Lin Shu glanced at Wen Yue, Wen Yue's face turned red, and he said softly: "I live here, in order to survive and complete the task, I must live in lies, please understand this." ”
"Hehe, you don't have to explain, I fully understand. So, let's talk about the gods. ”
"Well, at that time, it was more than a thousand years ago, because of the unfavorable plane war, our gods were asked to come to the Green Star to participate in the war, well, the gods of the other races came, the plane war at that time was very fierce, and the Green Star also suffered heavy losses, and the eight gods of our eight clans fell, including the gods of our nine ghost clans. But in the following hundreds of years, the gods of various races awakened one after another, and only the gods of our Nine Shadows have not heard from them, which has brought devastating consequences to our Nine Shadows. The territory of the Nine Shadows was divided, and the people were scattered, and we, as a family of worshippers to the gods, made a great wish and began to search for the whereabouts of the gods. As for the place I will find, it is also the last two generations, that is, my grandmother's sister, who once sensed the breath of the gods here, so I was sent to the Green Star and tried my best to go deep into the Moon Lake Forest to find the location of the gods, thanks to the blessing of the omnipotent gods, and now I have finally found it!"
Wen Yue finished speaking in one breath, thinking of the gods who had gone forward and exhausted their lives to find them, and today they were finally found by themselves, and they couldn't help but burst into tears.
Lin Shu looked at Ao Yun, could this demonic beast of unknown race be a god? Judging from her last advancement, her body was indeed very magical, but it was definitely not out of the category of living beings. Could the gods be living beings, or is it just the apotheosis of some powerful creature in the underworld?
After Wen Yue's mood stabilized, Lin Shu asked again, "Wen Yue, is the god you are talking about a creature or a transcendent being? What are her attributes? Doesn't she have a name?"
"This, our god is called the god of darkness and water, the ruler of the river Styx, and his name is Kaya. She is omnipotent. Therefore she is not a living being, but a detached being. ”
"But Wen Yue, look at Ao Yun, she is obviously a life form, and she is only a water attribute, not a dark attribute, and she is not strong enough, just an eighth-order creature. It's not enough to fight, but it's like this, and it's going to be a god?"
"I don't know what to do, but she is exactly the same as the god of my clan, and she feels exactly the same as the residual breath of the Holy Land. How can this be explained?"
"This, perhaps, your god wants to be a human or a demonic beast!" Lin Shu didn't dare to say this, with Wen Yue's pious appearance. I guess it's not over with myself!
"Well, can I speak?" Ao Yun blinked and interjected carefully.
"Of course. You are a god, and I will listen to your words. ”
"Hehe, in fact, I have a familiar feeling that Wen Yue said something, I want to ask Lin Shu, I think you seem to have another understanding of God, or have your own opinion, what kind of existence do you think God is?"
Lin Shu thought for a while and said: "God may be two kinds of existence, one is a living being, a powerful creature, or an evolution from a creature, such as a human or a demonic beast, through continuous cultivation, slowly find a stronger evolutionary method, a more advanced survival method, so for us who are backward, they are gods, just like the fish and shrimp in the Moon Lake must be Ao Yun is a god!"
"Hee-hee, yes, what about the other one?"
"The other is called public consciousness, which can also be called racial or planetary consciousness, which is an aggregate of souls, also called an aggregate of beliefs, which is based on the beliefs and desires of man, and this kind of god is a pure soul aggregate, a transcendent being, but they are strong and vulnerable, because they must depend on the soul beliefs and desires of intelligent beings to exist, and once no one believes in them, these gods no longer exist. Just like the elemental god that once existed in Green Star, due to people's perception of demonic energy, the last thing is that the elemental god fell in Ragnarok ten thousand years ago, it should be like this?"
"Ragnarok, isn't that a battle for humanity against the oppression of the gods?"
"Hehe, this is what later generations said, in fact, when humans began to rebel against the gods, the gods were already doomed. ”
Wen Yue shook her head desperately: "However, God loves the world, we believe in her and love her, how can she persecute us, if there really is, then it must be someone who did something wrong." ”
"Perhaps, but human beings are so greedy, and it is difficult to suppress the spread and erosion of this greed, and one day, even the gods will not be able to stand them, or the gods will abandon people, or people will abandon the gods who can no longer satisfy their endless desires, but the end will be the same. ”
Wen Yue was stunned, but Ao Yun suddenly said, "You mean, because God is tired of it, or is she no longer able to fulfill people's constant prayers?"
"Hehe, people worship God itself is utilitarian, there may be people who are not utilitarian, but most of them are utilitarian, if God has enough wisdom, it should be easy to understand this, if God is still willing to be with human beings, or God also has his own ideas, of course, there will definitely be tired. ”
Wen Yue shook her head vigorously: "No, no, it's not like this, we love God, God loves us, we, we are like a family, we just need her to exist, can, can"
Lin Shu and Ao Yun looked at Wen Yue and sighed secretly together, suddenly, Lin Shu raised his head and looked at the night sky in the distance, there seemed to be something not very good, and this bad feeling was rising rapidly! )
