Chapter 1026 God? It’s so Painful…

"In your time, how many gods were there in the void?" Bingtis suddenly looked at Xiaoxue and asked very seriously.

Xiaoxue was just here to join in the fun, because the line of cause and effect was broken in front of her, so she basically did not participate in everyone's discussion: it was meaningless and might mislead others, so from now on she has been concentrating on the ecology The little crow in the environmental warehouse makes a face. At this time, Bingtis suddenly asked her a question. The girl didn't react for a while. It wasn't until the other party repeated it again that she answered: "Oh, oh, how many gods? At that time, few people mentioned this statement. , since I can remember, people around me have only mentioned 'Dragon God So-and-so', 'Dark God So-and-so', 'Light God So-and-so', but few people say 'So-and-so from the God Clan'. ”

"That's a good guess," Bingtis breathed out, "Xiling Apostle has been promoted to a complete god after the Void Cataclysm. Not only has his power reached the level of a god, but he also possesses all the characteristics of a 'god'. For example, the power of information disturbance, the symbolic meaning between words and deeds, and the ability to interact with believers. If the Xiling Apostles after the Void Cataclysm have evolved to this level, then you will naturally gradually get used to mentioning Star Territory. No longer add the title of 'god' to specific people, because you yourself are also a member of the gods!"

Bingtis's analysis became more and more surprising. At this time, no one interrupted her. Although this female gangster usually had a crazy personality, her knowledge was incredibly profound. She has a deep understanding of the history of the Star God Realm, and has her own understanding of various information disturbances in the void and the nature of the power of the gods. Now only she can analyze things from the current situation that others cannot see, and we can only I can be there and listen honestly. She thought for a moment. Give us an analogy: "Just like how humans call other people on the earth, when you refer to foreign races, you will say 'British so-and-so', 'American so-and-so'. But I believe absolutely no one will Say 'Human so-and-so'. Xiaoxue may have grown up in that environment, so she didn't hear what these names meant. But we should have heard it. After she was born, everyone was not used to it. Think of 'gods' as a name for another race. At that time, the Xiling apostles will at most say Bingtis, the goddess of light, but no longer talk about Bingtis from the gods."

Bingtis got up and poured himself a glass of water. Sandora also had the opportunity to express her thoughts: "The Xiling Apostle was once called the supernumerary God Clan, or the third God Clan. This statement itself means that the Xiling Apostle is not a true god. , and in fact judging from the level of power alone, the Xiling Apostle is not weaker than the gods, so an important reason for judging that the Xiling Apostle is not a true god is that our race cannot have the 'symbolic' power like the Star Realm God Clan."

"Symbolic" power is a very abstract term, and its explanation is not very clear. It is easier to understand that the true god of the star field is in various daily activities. Having the ability to turn one of his "actions" into a "symbol" that can have substantial influence, and after mortals reproduce this "action" or are associated with this "action", they can promote certain phenomena. In this process, mortals The actions taken are often called "rituals" or "sacrifice" and the phenomena they facilitate are called "miracles". Ding Dong likes to eat lollipops. Her hobby can produce symbolic power. When the believers of the Goddess of Life offer tributes, they will first present various kinds of honey, and this kind of tribute can truly produce magical power: after offering honey, the believers of Dingdang will Depending on the degree of piety, various blessings such as recovery, health, and longevity will be obtained. However, Dingdang did nothing during this process. What worked was her "symbolic" power.

The True God has such symbolic power, but the Xiling Apostles who are as powerful as them do not. This is an important reason why the Xiling Apostles of the old empire are always called "supernumerary" gods: the difference does not lie in who is more powerful.

"The essence of symbolic power is a kind of information disturbance, and the ability to extend information disturbance to other mundane things." Bingtis looked into my eyes, "It is different from the information disturbance principle of void creatures. Void creatures are because It is the source of all information. To use the example you are used to as a metaphor, the void creature is an energy source. Fluctuations in this energy source will cause all systems to fluctuate accordingly, and the reason why the gods generate information disturbance or symbolic power is We are the entangled point of a large amount of information, which is equivalent to a magnet for the world. When a magnet passes above the magnetic field, it will inevitably disturb the original magnetic field. There is an inheritance relationship between the two kinds of information disturbances. The reason why our star gods can become various The focus of the information is because we were created by God the Father, just as the electrical energy output from the power source flows through the coil to create a magnetic field - this example should be familiar to the earth, that's what it is, God the Father is the power source, and we are the coil . Before this, the Xiling Apostles did not have symbolic power, because they themselves evolved from the inside of the world to the high level. They lacked the key link to become the source of information disturbance, which is void infusion. In this case, if they want to become The only way for a 'god' to be believed in and allow believers to generate tangible power through faith is to master the power of the void. The old empire stumbled on this last step. And now... If I guessed correctly, Xiling The apostle has finally reached that critical stage. Chen, your existence will sublimate the entire race in a few years."

Everyone was silent for a while, as if they were digesting Bingtis's astonishing prophecy. Only Sandora spoke thoughtfully: "I don't think it's quite right. Arjun's information disturbance ability was there from the beginning. , Qianqian and the others all gained the power of a true god because of this. Why didn’t you expect that he could transform the Xiling apostle into a true god at that time? Now a crow has mutated and become a harbinger? "

"This is the 'inheritance relationship' I just mentioned," Bingtis explained seriously, "Father God has the power of information disturbance, and then he created the gods, and the gods 'inherited' the weaker ones from him. Information disturbance power, so the gods have the ability to be believed. It depends on whether the Xiling apostles can become true gods. The key is to see whether ordinary members among them can also inherit this power. Before, I could only be sure of Qian Qian They became stronger because of Chen's influence, which does not mean that they inherited any symbolic power. Only when Chen can let the things he affects also affect the next level things. I can be sure that he will soon become Father God and Xiu. A mature void creature like King Lun. The one that mutated this time was a crow - think about it, in that yard, crows were not even among the things Chen came into contact with every day. They just stayed in Chen's sight. That’s it, why don’t the flowers and plants mutate? Why don’t the tables and chairs mutate? Why don’t the tableware that Chen Ping uses mutate..."

I said casually: "Because I had no time to mutate, I was eaten by Sandora." Everyone: "..."

"Brother, can you look at the environment when you tell cold jokes?" Bingtis looked at this side with an unfriendly expression. I quickly shrank my neck: "You continue, you continue."

"There are many things that come into contact with Chen, and most of them are closer than those two crows. However, the crow family was the first to mutate. Why?" Bingtis looked around us and suddenly lowered his voice, " Because Anweina, who takes care of them, is a crow. Well. Or at least she already thinks of herself as a crow."

"So, the information disturbance force showed a phenomenon of inheritance, and Anweina became the second disturbance source that can affect the surrounding environment?" Sandora frowned, "Why does it feel wrong?"

Bingtis waved his hand: "She is not that strong yet. In this process, it is Chen who really caused the information disturbance. Anweina only acted as an inducement to deflect the incident. However, even if it is an inducement. It is still. It becomes the starting point for the next source of information disturbance. Do you think something is wrong here?"

Qian Qian said bluntly: "We were the ones who got involved with Ajun in the first place. Why weren't we the first source of disturbance?"

I slapped myself on the forehead: This girl is becoming more and more innovative in her choice of words and sentences. What does it mean to mix things together... But what she said is indeed something we care about: Who should be affected by me first? Of course, Qianqian and her sister are the most influential. Even Sandora ranks behind Pandora. But the current situation shows that Anweina was the first to show the tendency to spread information disturbance: she herself did not mutate much, but the crow family she came into contact with was prioritized and promoted.

Am I usually that close to Anweina?

"This may be related to some of Chen's subjective tendencies... It's hard to explain." Bingtis' words almost drove me into eternal damnation. Sandora immediately narrowed her eyes: "Oh, Ajun even has birds and animals." Even the ghosts won’t be spared?”

Fortunately, Bingtis knew how to save her: "That's not what I meant. I mean, Chen, do you usually have the idea of ​​​​promoting Anweina or thinking that she has developed a divine nature?"

I thought for a long time and said uncertainly: "Does it count that I often say she is the God of Maid?"

Bingtis was stunned and nodded with great difficulty: "Mom, maybe it's true..." Then the whole family was stunned.

"No? Is this okay?" Sandora couldn't help but lose her composure. The situation in front of her was too unscientific, which surprised Her Majesty the Queen, who has always been very scientific. So she grabbed my hand and shook it, "Arjun Then try again and see if you can influence me."

I stared at Shandora's eyes for a long time, and suddenly turned my head awkwardly: "Forget it, if I really succeed, then your portrait will only be kept in the kitchen of every household..." I especially After thinking about it for five minutes, I suddenly came up with the word "eat"!

"This can't be rushed. It takes a long time for void creatures to mature. Father God did not create the divine world in just one or two years." Bingtis stretched out, as if he did not intend to discuss this topic. It was a waste of words, "In short, there is only one thing that is certain. As Chen gradually matures, he will spread the ability of information disturbance to everyone around him. Through the spiritual connection network, the first to gain the overall promotion of the race It should be the Xiling Apostles, and then your vassal races. After Chen finds a way to control his power, he can accurately decide the promotion level of each race like Father God - just like the God Realm, except for the four In addition to the major gods, we actually have other gods, the god of the element of fire, the god of wind and thunder, the god of water, the god of music, etc. These small gods also have a place in the pantheon, and they have some of your predecessors. It is absolutely unimaginable: the God of Fire is the flame created by the Father God when he first performed the barbecue skills he learned from the next session on the Goddess of Darkness. The God of Wind was born from a sneeze of the Goddess of Darkness, and the God of Water Undine is a dragon Created by God..."

Qian Qian's mind was spinning at that moment: "The Dragon God created the Water God? Why?"

Bingtis spread his hands: "The God who is best at pouring water in the God Realm created the Water God. Do you have any questions?"

I was so Spartan on the spot that I couldn't help myself!

"Xi Ling is the main god, Keprulu is the slave god. Azeroth is the slave god, and Vidis is the slave god... It seems to be an interesting future," Sandora smiled. His face glowed with great interest, "Arjun. Look, you are quite remarkable all of a sudden."

I thought about it and looked at Bingtis with a serious expression: "You are a god, so based on your experience, if the Xiling apostles are really promoted to true gods, what will happen? I mean... the benefits Something like that, such as Xiling Apostle becoming stronger, or being able to solve the chicken-and-egg problem..."

Bingtis was stunned for a moment. Then he touched his chin and muttered: "That's right. You can do almost everything that gods can do now. So if you become gods... it will be easier to control the world than before? Or install a world operating system? You can quickly decompress when you are in trouble..." She talked for a long time, and the results were all things that Xiling Apostles can do now. In the end, she was at a loss and spread her hands: "The only advantage is that you can be a magic stick in the future, and then There will be a lot of believers building a lot of awesome temples for you, and you won’t be able to live in any of them..."

"What? So that's what being a god is, boring..." Lin Xue shook her head and walked away in disappointment.

My sister also spread her hands: "That's it? The change is not as big as an equipment update. I'm going back to cook."

Sandora quickly followed her sister: "Oh, then I'll go back to eat."

Qianqian smacked her lips: "It doesn't matter if I have a big house. My current house is quite big..."

So a bunch of people lost interest at about the same time. Turning around and walking away, Bingtis looked at him dumbfounded, and finally jumped to his feet and shouted: "Hey! What's your reaction! What's wrong with becoming a god! It's more or less a sense of glory, okay! This is at least a senior professional title! You guys are just getting a one-level salary increase and you are dejected, but you should explain it to me clearly!"

I patted the female gangster on the shoulder comfortingly: "Forget it, it's not like you don't know the temper of our family. And to be honest, I really don't think the real god is a good job. The daily work of the world management god is like property management." …”

This is the truth. As I understand more and more about the priesthood of the gods of the star field, I now know their various powers very clearly. Creatures like gods cannot rule anything at all, because nothing can bring them benefits. Believers cannot give the gods power, the world cannot give the gods resources, and the allegiance of 100 billion mortals in the world is nothing to them. As a number, true gods can completely transcend any world, because they themselves are both laws and concepts. Everything they need comes from their own will. The world management gods are the most common among the gods in the star field. Gods who communicate with the lower world, and their "management" of the mortal world is more akin to voluntary labor. Repairing the damage in the universe, clearing common bugs, guiding traffic among the stars, and occasionally cleaning up messes for believers... Without the spirit of Lei Feng accumulated over hundreds of billions of years, who would do this hard work?

Sometimes I feel that if they weren't chasing after the abyss, these gods would probably prefer to hang out in the God Realm and wait until the end of time to die - if this end existed, I would definitely do that anyway.

And if Xiling Apostle is really promoted to a true god under my influence, I really don’t know if he will be engaged in the same boring job. In fact, the current Xiling Empire is similar to the behavior of the gods. Except for scientific research materials, we basically don’t need any world resources now: those resources are for vassal races, and we don’t need living space: All empire facilities are built in a different space created by oneself. Whether it is a new empire or an old empire, the only reason for expanding the territory is to kill the abyss and other messy enemies, not to fight for a living environment. When I think about this, I suddenly feel If there is no abyss in the void, will those imperial soldiers who are often passionate about death be bored to death...

Soon, the experts at the institute discovered that they could no longer explain the mutated three crows: technological equipment could easily scan the structure of every basic particle in the crows' bodies, and it could also explain the future. What is the principle of the various abilities of the Crow God? However, their research ends here: the specific process of mutation is an indescribable mystery. It involves the knowledge of the void and the wonderful results produced by the entanglement of various information. Perhaps only Only God the Father can figure it out: Of course, in a few years, maybe I can figure it out too.

Early the next morning, the three crows were sent back to their home, and the crow's nest in the yard became lively again. In order to celebrate the three mutant creatures successfully completing the physical examination and starting a new life, Anweina even gave them prescription drugs. A small banquet: she personally cooked two dishes for the crow!

That ghost maid may have completely regarded herself as one of their kind...

Crow chick...well, I'm embarrassed to call it a chick now, that little guy grows up so fast, it's doubled in size in forty-eight hours! Let's call it a little crow. I personally put a seal on the little crow to temporarily suppress its dangerous energy control ability to prevent the little guy from accidentally spraying his parents to death, or from flying out and causing the city to burn. Incidents like flames.

Now, I have begun to think about the next question: If the Xiling Apostles successfully become gods in the future, then... what about the miserable fallen apostles?
