"The universe is a dark forest!"
"The world is a savage cave!"
"You must use the sword in your hand to pierce the dark night! Use the boiling blood to ignite the glory of the starry sky!"
"Heaven has a murderous intention, so let's fight against it!"
"If the earth shows murderous intent, then fight with the earth!"
"If someone wants to kill someone, then fight with them!"
"Our souls will never wither!" The tall dean of Starry Sky Academy raised his hands: "Life never ends..."
"The fighting doesn't stop!" The blue-robed wizards waved their fists wildly:
"Fight! Fight! Fight!"
…
…
"What a complicated and lengthy ceremony." Zheng Qing felt the violent fluctuations of magic in the first hall, scratched Poseidon's chin, and murmured.
The little fox squinted his eyes comfortably, his big tail hanging in the air and swaying.
Even the roars of the freshmen at Starry Sky Academy did not wake it up from its nap.
After returning to the circular corridor, the little fox jumped out of his hood and returned to his usual liveliness and cheerfulness. It seemed that the complex magic circle in the center of the hall had some mysterious deterrent effect on it.
"Isn't this what people yearn for?" Xiao Xiao grabbed the brush, licked it in his mouth, spread out his notebook, and wrote something quickly.
His old turtle was like a stone, sinking heavily into his hood and remaining motionless.
"Longing for it?!" Zheng Qing almost laughed out loud when he heard this: "Are you kidding me? People would yearn for this kind of thing?"
Perhaps his voice of doubt was a little louder, and several classmates around him turned their heads and glanced at the two of them.
Xiao Xiao finally put down the brush in his hand.
There was still a trace of ink hanging from the corner of his mouth, which looked a little funny.
But he looked serious and explained in a very serious tone: "Yes, this is what people have been pursuing...or, you can call it a sense of ritual."
Immediately afterwards, he asked a series of questions:
"Do you prefer chaos or order?"
"Do you prefer war or peace?"
"Do you like rules?"
Zheng Qing was a little confused about what Dr. Xiao meant, but relying on the intuition he had cultivated in the past twenty years, he subconsciously chose some nice words: "Peace is naturally better than war... Order is also, it is definitely better than chaos.
Be strong."
"As for the rules," he thought for a while and replied cautiously: "In a sense, the rules have two sides."
Xiao Xiao held his heavy notebook, lowered his head, and looked at the public-funded students in front of him carefully, his tone seemed a little dissatisfied:
"Simpler!"
"Rules are also good." Zheng Qing replied quickly.
"That's right." Xiao Xiao nodded with satisfaction and turned his eyes to the center of the hall, where the students of Atlas were listening to the dean's final instructions.
…
…
"Faith is the sublimation of consciousness and the affirmation of personal will."
"The path you follow is your faith."
"Some people believe in the starry sky above their heads, some people believe in the morality deep in their hearts, and some people believe in the welfare of all living beings and the unity of the world."
"Our desire for love, our pursuit of knowledge, and our unstoppable sympathy for human suffering build the foundation of our faith and provide inexhaustible spiritual power for our faith."
"This is a world where there is still faith!"
"This is a world worth saving!"
"This is where we live and die!"
The dean of Atlas looked at his students calmly: "Our covenant——"
"Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you." The yellow-robed wizards spoke solemnly and looked solemn.
The golden lotus spurted out from the criss-crossing magic circle at their feet like a spring. After hitting Atlas's new body, it disappeared without a trace like an illusion.
…
…
"All intelligent races, including the beasts, ghosts, and even demons in your eyes, are more able to accept an orderly and well-regulated life."
"Even if this order requires some level of cost on their part."
"Only order can concentrate the limited power of individuals and safeguard the interests of the entire race - from a world perspective, the solidarity of the race is crucial to every individual."
Xiao Xiao said this, suddenly turned to look at Zheng Qing, and asked another question:
"So, have you ever thought about how this invisible order manifests itself in real life?"
"You mean these rituals?" Zheng Qing nodded thoughtfully.
"Since being born in this universe, human beings have been fighting against the strong insecurity in their hearts." Xiao Xiao raised his head and looked at the roof of the first hall.
After the white mist dissipated, the magical celestial phenomenon reappeared under the hanging dome.
Densely packed light spots were like a real starry sky, shrouding everyone's heads.
"The inner reflection reflects the real world outside."
"And these rituals and rules are like the order of the real world, building a solid fortress in our hearts."
"Let us be brave and strong to face any challenges."
Xiao Xiao pressed his notebook and looked at the starry sky above his head, feeling a little lost in thought.
"It sounds very complicated..." Zheng Qing looked at the great doctor blankly, feeling that he just talked about a very serious topic.
I don't know how serious it is.
It seemed that Poseidon finally couldn't stand Xiao Xiao's noisy, so he lazily climbed up from Zheng Qing's arms, jumped along his shoulders, and jumped into Li Meng's arms.
The little witch was overjoyed, threw her pigeon away, and happily helped the little fox comb out its long fur.
Pigeon Xiaobai cooed angrily and flew angrily to Jiang Yu's shoulder.
"Let's take the white men in the mortal world as an example." Xiao Xiao frowned and tried to explain with examples that Zheng Qing could understand.
But Zheng Qing's focus was obviously a little off track: "Do you still know that Bai Ding is the problem?"
"Those who believe in authority," Xiao Xiao glared at him and emphasized: "It's not that they dislike freedom, but that authority can more effectively bring a sense of security... And those societies that are organized by contracts, the contracts that people believe in,
It can also bring them a sense of security.”
"For example, in our college, exams are the only way to convince people... But at Alpha College, genealogy is obviously more convincing." Zheng Qing immediately drew inferences.
"Very accurate." Xiao Xiao was obviously very happy that someone was discussing this topic with him: "As small as family, college, as large as country, society, these principles are actually the same."
"Whether it's those ancient families, emerging forces, or our school, people stick to the rules not because they appreciate their complicated and gorgeous appearance, but because of the sense of security behind them."
"Hmm, very correct, very correct." Zheng Qing said perfunctorily, his mind already following a new figure that appeared in the center of the hall.
"They are not from our school." The classmates nearby whispered to each other.
A tall and thin wizard walked through the swirling white fog and walked into the center of the first hall.
Behind him, followed a chubby figure who looked familiar to Zheng Qing.
The young public-funded student couldn't help but squint his eyes.
