Holding the food in his arms, Anduin happily followed Lin An, secretly thinking about today's harvest.
Although he didn't quite understand what Lin An was doing, he only knew that everyone who talked to Lin An alone ended up yelling and then walked out of the tent in silence.
After coming out, people seemed a little different.
"Lord Ling'an, I want to tell you something."
Without thinking much, Anduin returned to his youthful appearance. After hesitating for a moment, he carefully pulled the corner of Lin An's clothes.
"Sir, we harvested a lot of food today. I would like to exchange some food for something. Do you think that's okay?"
In deep thought, Lin An looked at Anduin who was carefully asking for his consent, and nodded casually.
Although food is very important, it is also in short supply for him now.
But Lin An knew that Anduin would not waste food, let alone open his mouth for no reason.
After he nodded in agreement, Anduin bowed gratefully to him and ran away.
Not paying attention, Lin An looked at the young man's back and just smiled.
He noticed that Anduin seemed to go to a place selling products for women and children. Maybe Anduin also had someone he liked?
Skipping this episode, unlike the joy of Anduin and others, Lin An felt a little heavy at this time.
"The power of faith, why is it anger and why is it hatred?"
Silently recalling today's test results in his heart, Lin An frowned and even walked heavier.
He never thought that after repeated testing, the final result would be beyond his expectations.
It is different from the power of faith gained in the amoeba world.
This time, after these scavengers clearly provided him with signs of the power of faith, Lin An suddenly discovered that his cognition had been subverted.
When everyone recounted their past, when they opened their hearts and asked God for salvation, the main emotion exposed was actually hatred.
"They hate the Awakened."
"They hate themselves for not being ruthless and cruel enough."
"They hate themselves for missing the opportunity to become awakened in the early stage because of their temporary kindness and hesitation, or they hate themselves for sacrificing their own interests to help others."
"Under this hatred, after they tasted the bad consequences and became ordinary people. When they saw hope once, all this hatred was inspired and eventually turned into the power of faith?"
There was a rare confusion in Lin An's eyes.
After coming to this conclusion, he didn't know why this happened.
He had never thought about whether the samples he tested were too few, and the scavengers were a special group, not the most common type of ordinary survivors.
Therefore, just because their hatred can be transformed into the power of faith does not mean that the power of faith is the emotion of hatred.
But in fact, thinking back carefully, Lin An recalled his experience with amoeba, and he believed that it was not because his sample was too small that led to such a result.
"In the amoeba world, people chant my name and believe in me when I display extraordinary powers."
"I used to think that they saw hope and thought that I could save them. But analyzing its essence, it is not that they hate those nobles from the depths of their souls?"
"Especially when I executed the senior officials and those nobles, the power of faith provided by people reached its peak!"
"And the power of faith that I inadvertently triggered in Soviet Russia is essentially the hatred of awakened people in Soviet Russia against blood corpses and monsters. When I kill some monsters, this hatred turns into faith."
"God is a collection of hatred, resentment, and anger? Rather than positive emotions?"
"People believe in God, but they just hope that a transcendent existence will help them kill their enemies!?"
Subconsciously, Lin An couldn't help but look at his hands.
For some reason, he suddenly remembered something.
The most primitive desire of human beings, besides reproduction, is revenge.
Hate is the strongest human emotion.
The history of human civilization is essentially a battle of hatred that has lasted for millions of years.
"Kill all the awakened ones and absorb the faith of the bottom to become gods?"
"It's not about letting the awakened ones oppress the bottom, and then killing the awakened ones when the hatred has accumulated to a certain level."
"Rather than repeating this process and killing all the awakened ones"
Lin An murmured in a low voice, and suddenly, Lin An's steps froze, as if he thought of something, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
