The snake god repeated softly, with a trace of surprise in his eyes. He looked at Milo and said softly: "You want to redefine God? This is not a simple matter. Even with our help, you may not be able to
Redefine God, after all there is another one below."
The snake god said, looking in the direction of the bottomless abyss, Milo chuckled and said: "It's okay to have someone take over."
The snake god couldn't help laughing when he heard the words. The goddess of order, Matt, shook her head and said: "You have also been in contact with that thing. You should know how difficult it is. If it could be solved so easily, we would not let it exist for so long.
time."
"It didn't work in the past, but it doesn't mean it can't work now. After all, the snake god has mastered the two poles of good and evil, and has the ability to balance the universe. The value of the bottomless abyss has been lost by most."
Milo's words made everyone stunned for a moment, and the snake god did not react for a while. Milo called him: "Snake god, are you talking about me? That seems to be correct. I am indeed the person in this universe.
The first snake is also the snake with the highest status in the current universe. There is no problem in being called the snake god. As for the latter sentence, I am not sure. Although I am a great divine power in charge of both good and evil, I cannot digest it.
The negative power accumulated in the bottomless abyss.”
"I can just deal with the negative power of the Abyss. What you need to do, Snake God, is to take over its subsequent role and assume the personality and ability to destroy the old universe in the future."
"what you up to?"
The old man holding the tablet of destiny asked in a low voice, and Milo responded: "Didn't the snake god say it before? Redefine God."
"This is not an easy job, and how do you want to define it?"
“God is revealed by heaven and prayed by man.”
Milo's answer surprised several gods, and Mat asked again: "Is there any difference between this and the original?"
"Of course there is a difference. In my understanding, the gods can only say that they have achieved what the heavens say, but what people pray for is far from the standard."
Milo stretched out his hand and made a stroke, separating the two realms of heaven and man, and the divine characters stood in them.
"In my imagination, gods in the future can be the manifestation of all natural phenomena, representing the concept of heaven, earth, universe, and all things. They can also symbolize the changes in people's hearts and correspond to many humane prayers. They can even integrate the two to show heavenly revelations.
It can lead people to pray, but other than that, ordinary prayers can at most allow the person who is trying to become a god to gain divinity and become a demi-god, or even condense the priesthood and become a quasi-god, but it cannot condense the godhead and become a true god."
When Milo said this, he specifically pointed out several gods: "For example, the goddess of abuse, Lovita, although this goddess is in charge of [pain], [injury], [pain], [torture], [suffering],
[Torture] and other priesthoods, but she has never thought of studying her priesthood in depth. She is simply venting her desires. Such concepts are not suitable for being a true god at all, but more suitable for a quasi-god."
Several great powers recalled the teachings of this goddess with weaker powers. The content was not complicated. Lauvita believed that the world was full of pain and torture, and the only thing believers could do was to face these helplessness.
Avoid pain, and return more pain to those who cause us pain. At the same time, Lovita believes that kindness is the best companion of harm and pain, because only the foil of kindness can deepen the pain of torture.
Therefore, Lovita encourages that in the process of cruelty and torture, she should occasionally stop the torture and give them unexpected comfort and medical treatment, and try her best to show her seduction, so that those who crave torture can get what they want.
Those who deserve it receive what they deserve and those who are vulnerable suffer the most profound pain.
To put it simply, this theory is only suitable for masochists, sadists, or people who like to bully the weak. Logically speaking, it can be considered to be in line with Milo's so-called human prayer.
Only the snake god vaguely kept up with Milo's rhythm because of his own authority.
"You hope that Lauvita will go further on the basis of the original priesthood. It is not simply an expression of the concepts and behaviors of harm, pain, torture, misery and torture. It also symbolizes the human nature of harming life and harming the same kind.
A collection of concepts that symbolize part of the dark side of human nature?”
"exactly."
Milo nodded, looked at the many heavens in the material void, and whispered: "The gods should be the transition between heaven and man. In the early stage, they can be biased towards heaven or man, but at the stage of great divine power, they must be between heaven and man.
Find a balance between them, otherwise in the future, either Tianyan will destroy the world, or humanity will start a war against the sky."
"It's hard to control this speed."
A large amount of information converged in the tablet of fate, and the old man interpreted one future possibility after another. The stars flickered, sometimes dim, sometimes bright, but in the end they all fell into deathly silence. Obviously, this great divine power has not found a way out, or in other words, there is no way out.
Find a way out that he thinks is feasible.
Milo chuckled and said: "How much power do the inborn souls have now, and their faith and spirituality have been harvested by the gods from generation to generation, how can they support the concept of people's prayers? I still need to wait until I return my power to the universe, so that it can have
You have to rely on it.”
As soon as Milo said these words, several gods fell silent again. In this universe, all power has its own foundation, so all priests and powers that want to take shape and spread must have power as a basis.
Just as Milo said, the acquired power of sentient beings in this universe has long been cut off from generation to generation, and there is very little left in his hands. Even if it continues to accumulate, it will be difficult to shake the gods in the slightest.
This is the basis of the long-standing rule of the gods and the core reason why all sentient beings suffer and struggle in vain.
But now, if Milo really returns his power to the universe as he said and serves as the support for all sentient beings in the future, then even a few great powers will have to pay attention to the thoughts of the sentient beings in the future.
Matt couldn't help but ask again: "Is it worth it?"
"Is it worth it or not? Anyway, it's all about giving back to the universe. Rather than leaving it to the gods, it's better to give all the spirits of the day after tomorrow more opportunities. After all, it's the spirits of the day after tomorrow that have supported me to this point over the years.
A major contributor.”
When Milo said this, he couldn't help but recall the illusory realms and broken worlds he had experienced in the past.
Indeed, between heaven and man, heaven is the core of everything. Without heaven, there would be no room for the survival of all the spirits of the day after tomorrow. However, all the spirits of the day after tomorrow are also the hope of continuing the heaven. Those too illusory realms, those broken heaven and earth, without all the spirits.
Success after another will not last until you meet yourself, and you will not be able to progress so quickly.
This is one of the reasons why he hopes to redefine the concept of gods.
Of course, in the eyes of great gods such as Matt, Milo is recalling his own experience in this universe.
At the same time, new changes in the brightness of the stars appeared on the old man's body. Finally, a few stars shone brightly and transformed towards the bright moon. He looked at the other two great powers beside him. In the end, it was the snake god who was more familiar with Milo.
Ask: "How far do you plan to go?"
"Naturally, everything is turned upside down and we have to start all over again."
Milo said, directly describing his plan.
"Taking advantage of the fact that the gods have been knocked down from the throne, my power has begun to return to the universe. At this important moment when the overall order is changing, we directly redefine the responsibilities of the gods and make decisions on the promotion to the status of true gods and the promotion to the status of great divine power.
A lock. Unless one clearly understands heaven's instructions or people pray to him, he cannot become a god. Unless he clearly understands the principle of harmony between heaven and man, he cannot become a great divine power."
"Heaven and man are in harmony. It is not easy to achieve this."
The snake god once again raised a key point and said: "Moreover, as the god of good and evil, I seem to be more in line with humans and not much in heaven, which does not fit your theory. At the same time, the old man's state is more in line with
It is in harmony with heaven, and it does not involve much in relation to humans.”
"How come good and evil are not revealed by heaven? Is your corresponding concept of good and evil the concept of good and evil defined by ordinary people?"
Milo asked back: "For powerful divine powers, they already have the right to define concepts corresponding to their own clerical positions, such as justice. For the vast majority of heavens in this universe, justice does not lie in everyone's cognition, but comes from justice.
The definition of the God of Justice, what the God of Justice thinks justice looks like, is what justice should look like. In the same way, after you build the nine-camp system, good and evil are no longer simply behavioral judgments, but the operating rules of the entire universe.
One, how can I not bear the title shown by the sky?"
"And, as I said before, I hope that you will serve as the last gate of the universe. If all sentient beings have accumulated evil thoughts, please take action to overthrow the old universe and open up a new future. If all sentient beings can remain good for a long time, then according to my judgment
, the universe can continue to exist for a long time."
As soon as these words came out, the origin of the universe was shaken. For the universe, it is also possible to continue itself. This time, the Clay Tablet of Destiny was inspired, the goddess of order was pulled, the power of good and evil of the snake god and Milo's five virtues system, the three talents and three
The Yuan system and the nine-character personality system are all inspired.
Everyone had the ability to refuse, but none of them did.
Under the auspices of the origin of the universe, Snake God and others saw the future set by Milo.
In this future, gods stand between heaven and man. Some of the gods that are inclined toward heaven symbolize the concept of natural phenomena. In other words, these gods themselves are the embodiment and personification of natural phenomena and things. These gods are
Nature is the incarnation of natural existences such as the ocean, the earth, the sun, the dark night, the forest, the storm, the light, etc., so their power has little to do with the beliefs of living beings. For them, the belief and willingness are more about stabilizing themselves.
The anchor point of personality and human nature, the core of its power lies in the power corresponding to natural phenomena. Therefore, the personalities of these gods are usually on the high side. Unless they are artificially cut, they are at least medium in power.
Regarding these gods, the snake god said that they were not much different from the gods today.
Secondly, it tends to the human part. Most of the priesthoods in charge are derived from the social activities or experience accumulation of intelligent beings, such as business, war, marriage, family, art, knowledge, music, revenge, murder, etc. The power of this part of the god is the same as
Faith has a great relationship, and it is necessary to obtain power from the corresponding social phenomena and the beliefs of all living beings. However, the relative abstraction of social phenomena and the complexity of human nature make these gods very easy to be carried away by faith, and most of them have low status and absolutely no
Most can only maintain between weak divine power and weak divine power.
"You seem to have deliberately suppressed the possibility of progress of these gods, and also inserted the theory that incense is poisonous into it."
Matt looked at Milo and expressed his opinion. As the goddess of order, one of the concepts she mastered was social order. She knew how helpful this future would be to her, but also because she mastered the concept of justice of order,
She will not sacrifice other gods for her own sake.
Facing the goddess' question, Milo did not answer, but continued to watch the future evolution.
As time went by, all the gods understood the reason why Milo had previously requested to set a threshold for becoming a god.
Because Milo has set restrictions on the gods from the beginning, those gods who are truly human-oriented have their own core concepts. For example, the priesthood of revenge, in the future set by Milo, is no longer just
It's an act of revenge.
In the future concept of the God of Vengeance, the core concept of this priesthood is also constantly expanding. At the beginning, it can be the most primitive, strongest and most natural impulse of intelligent life. It is one of the core and driving forces of life and belongs to the individual.
A kind of emotional catharsis for individuals.
But with development, revenge can be the expression and release of intelligent life's own will and power. In addition to emotional catharsis, it can also be a rational choice. At this time, revenge is not only an individual behavior, but also a collective behavior.
The external manifestation of the behavior is no longer the emotional catharsis of individuals to individuals, but a way to resolve all conflicts in society. Its nature is no longer just a negative expression of human nature, but can accommodate a certain amount of positivity.
strength.
It is precisely the sublimation of this concept that prevents the God of Vengeance from being wrapped up in the power of wishes. Instead, it is similar to the Dinghai Divine Needle, which determines the existence of certain concepts and the legitimacy of certain concepts.
The old man who understood this looked at the clay tablet in his hand and suddenly smiled and said: "So that's it. Gods are not only the transition between heaven and man, but also, well, in your words, they are the lubricant within human nature. So it is calculated that
Down, agriculture, death, and creation of such concepts as gods are products that are inherently intertwined between heaven and man. I guess their concepts are not just what I see now..."
Between words, the future evolves automatically, revealing the arrangements of the gods in concepts such as agriculture, death, and creation.
As the old man said before, although concepts such as agriculture, death, and creation are closer to natural phenomena, they themselves include the intelligent life behavior of social activities. In these concepts, heaven and man are confused or even integrated with each other.
There is no clear-cut statement.
Such gods also existed in the past of this universe. For example, the Father of Oak was exploring this path, trying to find a point of coexistence between civilization and nature, and even proposed the theory of "One Body to Balance".
But it is a pity that this god of nature was more inclined to nature itself in the end, so that his ideas were never spread among intelligent life.
ps: For the sake of the plot, there are some magical changes in the interpretation of One Body and Balance.
