Chapter 141: Faith is the transformation of the soul
"Great Charming Blue God, my Lord, your divine power is the endless waves, which can pour into the sky from above and cover the earth from below. Your divine power is the endless sea breeze..."
Cang Xu knelt on the ground, clasped his hands, and prayed wholeheartedly to the statue of the Charming Blue Goddess.
Divine power appeared in his body bit by bit in some incomprehensible way.
Praying over and over again, when the time was over, Cang Xu had accumulated less than half a bowl of divine power in his body.
If you continue to pray, no divine power will appear.
Meilan teachings record that the best time to pray is at dawn and dusk, each time period is about twenty-five minutes.
During this period of time, prayer can gain the most divine power.
If you do not pray during this time, the efficiency of obtaining divine power will be greatly reduced.
Generally speaking, the more powerful the god is, the more extensive the priesthood is, and the more powerful the god is, the longer the best time to pray. For example, for the Holy Ming Emperor, the whole day is the best time for believers to pray to him.
Cang Xu kept praying. The best time to pray had long ended, but he still didn't stop.
It wasn't until the divine power appeared less and less, until even a drop of divine power could not be increased in ten minutes, that he reluctantly stopped.
He stood up slowly and walked to the table under the statue.
There is a big shell placed on the table, which is the fairy tale of the mermaid.
"As long as I continue to output my divine power and condense a pearl bubble, I can be of great help to my most beloved goddess."
Cang Xu's mind was filled with this thought.
As for why this idea came to him, he did not go into details.
He covered the shell with his hands, pouring all his divine power into the shell while constantly blaming himself.
"Why?"
"Why do I only have the level of an ordinary believer? I obviously only believe in the great Charming Blue Goddess!"
Cang Xu's heart was filled with guilt.
After more than ten seconds, he had no power at all.
A huge feeling of fatigue came over me.
"I must rest."
"Before resting, you need to have a good meal."
"Only by replenishing enough mental and physical strength can I continue to pray."
Another thought filled my mind.
Cang Xu acted subconsciously and walked to the hatch.
laugh.
There was a sound and the hatch slid open to the side.
Cang Xu walked out of the cabin, and the cabin door closed next to him.
The next moment, he saw the fish-man boy and Zidi.
"Who are you?" Cang Xu was stunned. In his eyes, the fishman boy and Zidi were strangers.
"Why did two strangers appear on my boat?" Cang Xu suddenly became nervous.
And at this moment, the hatch behind him closed. The action of closing the hatch was like a switch, suddenly triggering a secret place deep in Cang Xu's soul.
Suddenly, like a floodgate opening, countless memories surged in, almost drowning Cang Xu's mind.
Cang Xu covered his head with his hands, his body shook violently, and then he fell directly to the ground.
Neither Zidi nor the fish-man boy made any move to support him, but instead stared with wary expressions.
Cang Xu's face was pale, he was breathing heavily, his eyes turned white, and his whole body was shaking as if he had been electrocuted.
About a minute later, Cang Xu suddenly coughed violently and rolled his eyes back.
He curled up and knelt on the ground, like a lobster, retching.
"Cang Xu?" the fish-man boy asked tentatively.
Cang Xu quickly stretched out his hand to signal, and coughed a few more times: "I'm fine, my memory has recovered, hoo! God, this feeling is quite bad."
Zidi was very calm: "You'd better answer a few of our questions first."
Cang Xu lay down directly, leaning against the metal wall. His physical energy was not depleted, but his spirit was traumatized, his soul was in turmoil, and he still felt a strong sense of dizziness.
He looked at the boy and girl: "I know, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong with me, I have agreed with you on a dozen questions before the test to initially verify my status."
"These questions are..."
Cang Xu then talked eloquently, asking and answering questions to himself, and his mental state gradually stabilized.
With such performance, Cang Xu gained the trust of the fish-man boy and Zidi.
"Drink some potion quickly." The fish-man boy reminded.
Only after Cang Xu received permission did he dare to take out the potion. The potion was not on his body, but in the secret storage compartment in the corner.
The switch of the secret grid also involves the alchemy circle, which contains the screening methods of the undead school.
Cang Xu successfully opened the secret compartment, took out the medicine, and poured it into his body.
This action proved that his soul had not been distorted or drastically changed.
"So, you succeeded?" Zi Di said happily.
Cang Xu drank a tube of potion, and his dizziness quickly diminished, but he was still unable to stand up independently and remained sitting on the ground.
Facing Zi Di's question, he nodded first, then shook his head slightly.
This statement left both young and girls a little confused.
Cangxu then explained: "Long before I rushed into the Tianzhu, I had successfully transformed my memory. But at that time, I was not sure about praying to the Charming Blue God."
"After the Battle of Tianzhu Haiyan, because of your help, Miss Zidi, I obtained the training record of the ship ghost. It contains the realization of the ship ghost becoming a blasphemous priest, which greatly increased my confidence in deceiving the gods. There are also a lot of memories.
Transformation technology, the most important of which is the hiding technology of memory."
"It can condense all our past memories into one point and hide them deep in the soul. It can also design a switch. When we touch this switch, all the memories can be restored in a very short time.
"
"Now, you two have witnessed with your own eyes that I succeeded. I deceived the goddess, and the magical power obtained from this prayer was infused into the mermaid's fairy tale. The memory hiding technique was also successfully tested."
The fishman boy nodded.
He recalled that before the Sea Eye Pillar rose, Cang Xu had invited him to help and use memory crystals to help him recover his memory.
The two also speculated that the ship ghost who was alone must have the means to restore his memory alone.
Now they have the answer, which is the memory hiding technique.
The young man was a little confused: "If you condense your own memories, won't the gods notice it?"
Cang Xu answered: "That's right, even the gods cannot completely penetrate into all the mysteries of a soul. Unless there is a special priesthood, the gods can only penetrate into the souls of most devout believers and the souls of fanatic believers."
"Even gods lack strong insight into the soul of an ordinary believer or pan-believers."
Having said this, Cang Xu hesitated for a moment, glanced at the two people in front of him, and then said: "From this point of view, belief in gods is actually the transformation of believers' souls, allowing the power of gods to continuously penetrate into
In the body and soul of the believer, until it is completely transformed and becomes the property of the god."
The young girl suddenly showed extremely shocked expressions.
Cang Xu’s words are too sinful and blasphemous!
For any person with religious beliefs, this is a bolt from the blue, and it is an outrageous and heinous statement!
From this point of view, gods are all conspirators who deliberately harvest the souls of believers!!
Seeing that the two of them were so shocked that they couldn't speak, Cang Xu continued with difficulty: "The soul of intelligent life is an important resource. Gods are like this, and transactions between devils in the abyss or businessmen across planes are not all transactions.
Is the soul used as currency? Devils, in particular, have a tireless pursuit of souls. They often use cunning deception, contracts, etc., to squeeze the souls of those who make contracts."
The boy and girl were silent for a long time.
Cang Xu's words were like a giant hammer, destroying the stronghold of faith in their hearts.
Not long after, the young man exhaled a breath of turbid air and looked deeply at Cang Xu: "Perhaps it is because of the insight into this secret that the Necromancer is wanted by all the gods?"
The boy accepted the truth faster than the girl.
Because from the mysterious island, he once mistakenly thought that he was a needle gold and was full of faith in the Shengming Emperor. However, the truth was discovered and his faith collapsed.
After leaving the island, the young man was full of confusion and did not know which god to believe in. He was in a stage of no belief.
He instinctively became wary of belief in gods. Therefore, later on, he rejected the solicitation of Bishop Haofu of Life. This was actually part of the reason.
However, in order to make it easier for him to lead the Justice Pirates, he usually pretends to pray to appease people.
Later, when he participated in the battle of Tianzhu Haiyan, the young man was forced to use the Charming Blue Goddess as a weapon. Such a unique experience reduced his respect for the gods to the bottom. He understood in his heart: no matter how high the gods are, they are just a certain person. Powerful life exists. It's just that it's so powerful that most people in the world can't fathom it.
The boy's castle of faith itself was in ruins, so it was easier to accept Cang Xu's words.
"Okay." Zidi's face turned pale. She put her hand on her heart and felt that she was shaky. "Just because of your words, I already feel that my faith has been shaken violently."
Cang Xu smiled bitterly: "In fact, I have now become a pan-believer of the Dark Lord. I believe that in the near future, I will not even be considered a pan-believer."
"At this moment, I understood why necromancers don't believe in gods. Most necromancers work part-time as blasphemous priests."
Zidi took a deep breath: "Old scholar, it's better not to say this kind of thing in the future. I am also a companion who has shared hardships with you and experienced so many things. But just now, I couldn't help but say something to you. It creates a feeling of hatred.”
Cang Xu sighed: "Thank you both for understanding me. Of course I know the price of saying these words. But just now, I really don't want to hide it from you. Even if you two adults will hate me."
These words touched the young girl's heart again.
Zidi turned her eyes and looked at the boy. She took a deep breath and then said: "There are some things I should have told you a long time ago."
