Chapter 179: The World Seems Wrong

"It's different from the description of the creation of the world recorded by the omniscient God." Ximu withdrew his hand from stroking the mural, "The humans here only encountered the omniscient God after they developed to a certain level."

In the game setting of Mysterious God, there is no priority for the birth of gods before humans. On the contrary, the concept of gods came into being after the emergence of human civilization.

However, this world is different from the reality that gradually requires development. After the arrival of the omniscient god, civilization has undergone superhuman changes, ignoring the process of technological accumulation and resource limitations. Civilization no longer requires humans to develop and accumulate by themselves.

Rather, it is obtained by praying to the gods.

"Isn't the omniscient God the creator?" Su Na pursed her lips. When she was a child, she had long thought about whether this world had always existed and was not created by the omniscient God at all. It was just that history was tampered with by the original omniscient god. .

But later she forced herself to abandon this doubt. It was very dangerous to have such thoughts. However, seeing the content on the mural now reminded her of the doubts she had as a child.

"The existence on the mural is not necessarily the omniscient God, right?" The white-haired wife broke away from Suna's body and reached out to touch the stone wall herself. "Perhaps they are just apostles sent by the omniscient God, not the omniscient God himself. ”

"That's possible." Su Na nodded lightly. If the omniscient God arranged for apostles to guide mankind after creating the world, it would be able to explain everything in the mural.

"And the omniscient God is the only god who cannot be looked directly at. No one has ever known what the omniscient God looks like." The white-haired wife added, "We have no way to identify the existence on the mural as the omniscient God. ”

All gods have a physical form and have a clear appearance and gender. Only the omniscient God has no clear form and gender. No matter the statues in churches or the descriptions in books, there is no trace of the omniscient God. The description only mentions that the omniscient God cannot look directly.

"It's easy to know if he is the omniscient god." Ximu turned his head and happened to meet Eden's eyes. Their eyes overlapped and then moved away from each other in a tacit understanding, and did not discuss this topic in depth.

Suna who was standing by showed a tangled expression when she saw this. This was related to the secret of the omniscient God. As long as Akhtar and Eden exchanged a few words, it could be confirmed immediately. However, Akhtar and Eden just After exchanging a look, they tacitly stopped the topic, which made her feel like her little heart was being scratched by a cat.

Even the three goddesses of destiny behind the scenes also cast their eyes on her, hoping to learn the secret information of the omniscient god through Eden's mouth.

But these two people just didn't talk about it.

"...What on earth is this?" Suddenly there was an exclamation, attracting the attention of everyone in the cave. They saw the white-haired wife covering her mouth with her hands, standing at the exit of the cave, seeming to be extremely shocked by everything in the outside world.

Ximu quickened his pace and came to the white-haired wife. The first thing he saw was a tree. Its vast branches covered the sky and spread toward the end of the world. The shining branches and leaves sprinkled the sky instead of the sun. Brilliant.

Under the tree, there are rows of buildings spread out with the big tree as the center. If you look closely, you can see many humans wearing gray cloth, approaching the big tree with three steps and one tap.

"Is that the tree of omniscience?" Suna asked, her eyes subconsciously falling on Eden. Although she had never seen the tree of omniscience, Eden must know whether the big tree covering the world was the tree of omniscience.

"It's not a good thing to know too much." The white-haired wife shook her head slightly. Although she was just a giant dragon, she knew that it was not a good thing to know too many secrets.

When Su Na heard this, she also withdrew her gaze and suppressed the curiosity in her heart. She knew that what the white-haired lady said was very reasonable.

And right now.

"There is a door to the bottom of hell on the tree." Eden's slender finger pointed at the big tree at the end of his field of vision.

"Understood." Ximu caressed the ring subconsciously, as if he was planning to summon the little mare, but suddenly gave up.

He knew that Eden would not stop him from summoning the little mare, but he also knew that Eden had the ability to take him directly to the Tree of Omniscience instead of taking them to the cave where they happened to see the murals on the cave.

Since Eden said that deliberately and did not take him directly to the tree, he naturally hoped that he could visit the hidden layer of hell in person.

…

…

Soon after.

On the way to the omniscient canopy.

"Have you also received a gift from the gods?" A man blocked the way for everyone, with jealousy on his face. "How come you, an insincere believer, can receive a gift from the gods?"

Ximu asked as usual: "Who are you?"

"Leviathan, God's most loyal believer." The man proudly said his name, and then his expression became cold again:

"Running directly towards the tree crown without kneeling down or praying, you guys don't take the gods seriously!"

"Why do you have to kneel down and pray?" Ximu asked, and Leviathan answered naturally after hearing this.

"Of course it is to show sincerity, so that you can obtain God's favor. The more sincere you pray and pray, the more you can obtain God's favor."

"It's really stupid." Ximu replied coldly, looking at Leviathan's astonished expression, "That's just your self-impression. What if the condition for receiving the gift is not showing piety?"

"This is impossible!" Leviathan waved his hand. In the hundred years since the gods came, people have been praying to the gods in this way. The more pious people are, the more they can get blessings. This is their own experience.

"You are really a self-touching licker." Ximu's expression turned cold, and he said to Leviathan, "If you don't get the grace of the gods after investing so many self-touching rituals, I'm afraid you will collapse yourself, right?"

He laughed sarcastically.

"In fact, you know it very well in your heart. By constantly hurting yourself and paying for your own feelings, you think the gods should respond. This is your true inner thought, right?"

Leviathan's expression twisted instantly, but there was no way to refute it immediately, because no one had said that before.

Ximu ignored Leviathan's twisted expression and continued to hurry with everyone.

This guy was stuck on the way to see the gods every day. If anyone was not pious enough in kneeling and the wording of the prayer was a little wrong, he would immediately step forward to discipline and curse.

This is not because Leviathan loves God so much, but simply wants to give his suffering to others completely... no, double it. If someone suffers less than himself, he will feel jealous and unwilling.

A very boring guy, essentially a tool for players to deepen their understanding of the omniscient God.

Logically, there is no need to pay attention to him, but everything he said was not said to Leviathan, but to Eden beside him.

"There are so many lazy people on the roadside." Suna whispered while observing both sides of the road. What she saw most was not the prayers, but the lazy people lying motionless on the roadside. They just looked at the prayers going to see the gods, but they were too lazy to move, as if they had lost the meaning of survival.

"They won't be so lazy that they don't need to eat, right?"

"God, you can eliminate hunger." Eden gave a calm answer. The concept of eliminating hunger is very easy for her, and it is even simpler for the omniscient God. It is nothing more than giving his people the gift of basking in the sun to survive.

"Won't they be bored?" Suna asked again, and saw Eden gently shook his head, looking at a man who was dreaming and holding a stone bench on the side of the road, thrusting his lower body.

Suna understood why people would not be bored in a second. If you don't have to worry about hunger in real life and can meet your needs in dreams, it is indeed more comfortable to be a lazy man all the time.

But she vaguely felt that something was wrong.

This world... no, this secret hell layer, as if it had fallen into a state of death, except for making requests to the gods on the tree canopy, it was immersed in its own world.

"There is no point in discussing this." Ximu shook his head and quickened his pace to run towards the tree canopy. He only needed to take a look at the status here to trigger a private conversation with Eden in the middle of the night. Now the conditions have been met.

Then he had no interest in staying here any longer.

Everything that happened in this secret hell layer was a replay of the past. If you explore it carefully, you can get a lot of secret information about the omniscient god, and there are many interesting NPC characters, such as Lucifer, the god who admires the omniscient god the most but is most opposed to him.

There is also Beelzebub who has been eating constantly and even wants to gnaw the All-Knowing Tree in the end, and Mammon who wants to get all the favors of the gods.

If it is the first or second round, he will be very interested in exploring the secret hell layer, and can also trigger a lot of dialogue plots with Eden, so as to quickly raise Eden's favorability to a certain level.

However, players who usually explore the secret hell layer for too long are usually reluctant to take the Lord of Ashes route, but try their best to defeat the All-Knowing God without burning the tree.

After a while.

Everyone successfully arrived at the foot of the All-Knowing Tree, and saw that in front of an open heavy stone door, there was an aisle built next to the edge of the All-Knowing Tree.

The believers knelt every three steps and ran towards the crown of the All-Knowing Tree.

The believers of the gods in this era do not need to worry about hunger, life span, and disease. The omniscient and omnipotent gods can come and give people unimaginable grace.

Everyone can go to the crown of the tree through the All-Knowing Tree and get the opportunity to meet the gods. Everyone has equally received the grace of the gods.

"An outsider I have never seen before." A lively and slightly curious voice came from behind the door. A girl wearing a white dress, a few golden bracelets on her wrists, and a very lively expression was seen.

And her appearance is exactly the same as Eden.

Ximu subconsciously turned his head and looked at Eden beside him, and found that she lowered her head and pulled down the gray cloak to cover her appearance.

"Excuse me, who are you?"

"According to what they say, it's a messenger of God." The girl smiled lightly, came close to Ximu, and sniffed gently, "You have my smell on you."

She asked curiously.

"Are you from the future?"

"..." Ximu was silent for a moment, and looked at the illusion of Eden beside him. This was not Eden himself, but the collective memory of Eden by people in that era, which led to the illusion.

"I didn't expect you to be so lively."

"Will I not be lively in the future?" The girl asked doubtfully, and Ximu thought about it and said:

"She rarely smiles, and has always been quiet, as if there is something unhappy, accumulated in her heart."

The girl blinked her eyes and deliberately prolonged her voice a little, "You know me well about the future."

"Who makes us lovers?" Ximu's casual answer made the girl's beautiful eyes widen in surprise. She quickly glanced at Eden wearing a cloak. She seemed to know who Eden was, but she didn't deliberately point it out.

"After so many years, this is not worth being surprised, right?" Ximu said as if joking, ignoring Eden's condemning look at him.

It's a rare opportunity to tease Eden. It would be a pity if he gave up. Who made Eden always keep calm, so it's inevitable that people want to see his emotional fluctuations.

"Really?" The girl smiled and stepped aside, "Let me explain in advance that I am not the person you know. She has been alive all the time, and the secret hell layer has no way to record her memory."

She raised her hand and gently gathered the hair by her ear.

"Whether the person you know is as lively and lovely as me, you should ask me."

"Yes." Ximu nodded, brushed past the girl, and ran towards the crown of the All-Knowing Tree.

The girl stood there, looking at the people who brushed past her, and then sighed softly, with a little loneliness on her delicate face.

She was actually quite curious about what kind of woman the real incarnation of the All-Knowing Tree was, but since she didn't want to meet her.

Then she couldn't force it.

...

...

The All-Knowing Tree of this era is not as widespread as in later generations. Although it is already magnificent and unimaginable, it still stands in the world.

This also leads to the fact that civilization must coexist with the All-Knowing Tree, relying on the All-Knowing Tree to build houses and corridors, as well as various elevators, as if they were parasites clinging to the trunk of the All-Knowing Tree.

The closer you get to the treetops, the more believers there are. Many believers holding children and bringing their families to see the gods, blocking the entire road. Looking around, there are densely packed heads, as if it is a river made up of countless heads, giving people a suffocating feeling.

Fortunately, Ximu never intended to queue up honestly, and flew directly into the temple with everyone.

"God is not here." Su Na stood in the temple that seemed to be made of gold, looking at the empty throne. Only believers knelt in front of the throne, talking about their wishes and expressing their inner piety.

This scene made people feel very weird.

"They are just praying to the gods in their hearts. It doesn't matter whether the gods are here or not." Ximu came to the center of the Golden Temple and asked Eden beside him as if jokingly, "What will happen if I sit down?"
