There was no third party present in the battle between the King of Thunder and the God of Darkness, so Lin Bai could naturally arrange the plot as he pleased. What's more, there was not a single lie in what he said, which could be identified by the power of truth.
Faith is the source of power for the gods, but also their drawback.
Otherwise, after hearing the news that their godhood had been taken away, they would not have been so excited that they rushed out to fight a few kings without making any judgment.
No god allows others to challenge their weaknesses.
But now, Lin Bai provides them with a new possibility, to get rid of faith and become true transcendent gods...
It's so tempting.
Even the Earth Goddess, who has the most followers, is also moved.
"Is what you said true?"
"But I heard that the God of Darkness also lost his freedom."
The forest goddess and the goddess of wisdom spoke at the same time.
"At that time, there was a battle between the God of Darkness and the King of Thunder. The God of Darkness was completely suppressed by the King of Thunder, and he had no choice but to become a puppet. If you are unwilling, I will not force anyone, let alone coerce you." Lin Bailian.
There was a frank smile on his face, "In fact, I rarely take the initiative to seal others. I have always sealed enemies who provoked me during my growth..."
The excited hearts of the gods sank again. Compared with faith, freedom is more valuable. If you become a true god but lose your freedom, it would be safer to kill Lin Bai.
"Gods, if you know me well, you should know that I am from the Gate of Justice. The Gate of Justice travels over the three thousand worlds and is on the same level as the game company."
Lin Bai could clearly sense the emotions of the gods, but he seemed unaware and continued, "My master once told me that there is a cycle of cause and effect. If you make a cause, you will have to suffer the corresponding consequences. My former enemies once wanted to
If I die, it is understandable that I seal them, and I am not responsible for the cause and effect.
I have no enmity with the God of Darkness, but I have sealed his freedom.
Although it is to save him, I will also suffer the consequences of this incident. For example, you want to kill me now to prevent future troubles.
Is there any grudge between us?
No.
We don't even have any competing interests, and we don't even know each other.
However, because of the God of Darkness and because I rescued him with good intentions, we became enemies for no reason.
This is the power of cause and effect.
Therefore, in most cases, I will not seal innocent people easily. Even if you ask me, I may not seal you. That is of no benefit to me. If I am contaminated with too much karma, I will definitely suffer more.
The big backlash even affected my practice..."
Use retreat to advance.
Lin Bai has always been good at manipulating people's hearts. I've told you the benefits, and I've also told you the consequences you have to bear. You think being sealed by me is a bad thing, but if you want me to seal you, I'm not happy yet!
Do you think I am willing to seal the God of Darkness?
Not at all!
I am innocent too!
An image of someone who did good deeds but suffered bad consequences was successfully established...
…
The gods fell silent again.
"You built a magpie bridge between the two worlds and deliberately provoked a war between the two worlds." The goddess of wisdom continued to question Lin Bai, vowing not to give up until his disguise was taken off.
"Attis, I wonder if you have ever heard of such a story, called boiling a frog in warm water." Lin Bai looked at the goddess of wisdom and asked.
"I've never heard of it," the goddess of wisdom said.
"A wise man has done such an experiment. If you throw a frog into boiling water, it will jump out of the water quickly. If you put it into cold water and then slowly heat it, the frog will not be aware of the danger.
, when the temperature of the water is high enough, it realizes the danger and can no longer jump out."
Lin Bai briefly explained the little story, looked around the gods, and said calmly, "With all due respect, in this chaotic game, you are just the frogs put in warm water, letting those players survive in your world,
You always think that things are under your control, but when you realize that danger is coming, it may be too late to make any reaction, because you have no idea what is happening in the outside world?"
The face of the goddess of wisdom became very ugly in an instant.
"Do you think the players will discover that your power comes from faith, that they are immortal and possess the wisdom of another world? Will it subtly affect your believers?" Lin Bai pointed at the players in Liberty City, "Actually,
, it is very simple to do this, so that believers can be self-sufficient and have enough spiritual and material wealth, they will get rid of their dependence on gods..."
"Shut up." Several gods shouted at the same time.
"You think what I said is ugly, and you think that if I don't say it, they won't realize it? You cover your ears and steal the bell, and you think that if you cover your own ears, others won't hear the bell ringing. I'm talking about you." Lin Bai shook his head and looked at her.
There was a look of disdain in them, "You are too naive. You have not realized what kind of sparks will be created when two civilizations collide with each other? What kind of changes will it bring? What's more, there is a fairyland outside, and there is a fairyland outside.
Are there other game companies?”
"Stop talking." The goddess of wisdom said coldly with a livid face.
"You have lived in your own world for too long, so long that you only want to maintain the status quo. Artis, when a person's wisdom is bound by his eyes, then his wisdom will be covered with dust..." Lin Bai looked at the goddess of wisdom with pity.
, sighing softly, "And what I did was just replace the warm water you depend on for survival with hot water. When you were at the peak of your strength, I piled dangers in front of you and tore away the fog that covered your eyes.
Only then will you get to know the world again, and you won't end up not knowing how you died."
Shocking!
All the gods looked at Lin Bai blankly and fell into silence.
They looked at Lin Bai with mixed feelings, and after a conversation, their perception of Lin Bai completely changed.
"Actually, the opposite world of Xianxia also has this problem. At the beginning, the practitioners there also regarded me as their enemy. But I showed them the ferocity of the players and the miserable situation after ascension.
?Now, they are my good partners who share the same goals..."
Lin Bai's face was filled with a sacred and confident light, "A road can tell a horse's power, and time can tell a person's heart. I have never been a bad person. Even if you think I did something wrong now and harmed you, time will eventually prove everything.
.”
…
In the real world, Takumi and others watching the live broadcast were stunned.
When they saw the murderous gods, they thought that a fierce battle was inevitable, but they never imagined that it would end like this.
Even though they witnessed with their own eyes how much torture the God of Darkness, who was sealed as a puppet, endured at the hands of the Master, they still couldn't tell whether what Lin Bai said was the truth?
They even felt that what Lin Bai said was right...
terrible!
Is this the power of words and actions?
Tu Yan looked at Lin Bai with adoration and admiration for him. Even though he was hundreds of years older than Lin Bai, at this moment, he felt that he was still too young.
The eyes of Xu Longyun, Jiang Qingqin and others were shining. This was their man. His lofty view of the overall situation and his ability to confuse right and wrong were enough to crush everyone.
On the screen, barrages flew across the screen.
"Shopkeeper Lin fights with the gods, he is mighty and domineering."
"I originally thought that Lin Bai would be killed as soon as he appeared, but these gods are so cowardly that they were fooled in just a few words."
"Why do I think what Lin Bai said is the truth?"
"According to the normal game script, when we push these god bosses, we might actually attack their believers. This is a game method that has never been played before. Unfortunately, it was completely destroyed by Lin Bai."
"Sure enough, Lin Bai has always had deep malice towards our players, and his harm is not much less than that of King Mengtian."
"Mengtianwang only uses his skills to force players to delete their accounts, but Lin Bai wants to fundamentally cut off the fun of players' gaming. I really hope that the two of them can die together and give us a fair game world."
"I'm going to the forum to initiate a vote to see who is more harmful, Lin Bai or Mengtianwang?"
"Lin Bai fans, it's time to wake up. Your idol has never thought of letting you play games."
"Who said that games must be fought and killed? If all the world is peaceful, wouldn't it be good for everyone to play games happily together?"
"That's not called a game, that's called playing house."
"Get out of Lindbergh's dog upstairs."
"Get out of the Anti-Linberg Alliance. You are the cancer in the game. Sooner or later, we will drive you out and kill you."
…
After a while, the two parties on the live broadcast screen started arguing through barrages.
Eastern Continent.
General Chen was also watching the live broadcast. Looking at the two sides arguing, he shook his head: "I never thought that Lin Bai would use warm water to boil frogs in this place."
Cheng Xunyun said sadly: "Speaking of which, our world, including the players selected by the game company, is not like a frog soaked in warm water, being slowly boiled by others. By the time they realize the danger, they are already trapped in it and cannot extricate themselves.
Already."
General Chen looked at Cheng Xunyun and smiled: "Xiao Cheng, you have been brainwashed by Lin Bai. This is not a good sign."
Cheng Xunyun was stunned for a moment and said with a wry smile: "But I really think he is right."
General Chen said: "Compared with those gods who are at their peak, we are weak. Boiling frogs in warm water may not be a bad thing for us. At least we can have an adaptation process. Lin Bai suddenly threw us
In the hot water, we might not even have the strength to jump out, and we would be scalded to death."
Cheng Xunyun was stunned: "..."
General Chen sighed again: "Now we are not even qualified to participate in the game."
…
After falling into Lin Bai's language trap, everything will become logical and there will be no flaws.
after all.
Lin Bai was a man who could deceive the whole world by creating a perfect origin for his messy skills that were rewarded by the system.
Up to now, most players and natives still firmly believe in the existence of the law, and tirelessly use Lin Bai's methods to practice, hoping to reach the sky in one step.
"Gods, good advice is hard to the ears but helpful to the deeds. Although my words don't sound good, they are the truth. I have told you all my thoughts and purposes, and I have not concealed anything." Lin Bai smiled and looked at the many silent gods, elegantly
He saluted them and said, "If you still want to regard me as your enemy, then I have nothing to say. I can only seek opportunities to cooperate with the evil gods on the side of the Lord of the Abyss."
"Is there no distinction between good and evil in your heart?" The Moon Goddess couldn't help but ask, "The Lord of the Abyss is a symbol of evil and violence. What will the world look like if you cooperate with him?"
"The lesser of two evils, in any case, it is much better than the destruction of the world. After all, I want to save more than just your world." Lin Bai said.
"Why didn't your master take action?" Earth Goddess asked, "Since they have equal power to the game company, it should be easy to resolve this disaster."
The ears of all the live broadcasting players around him perked up at the same time.
"High-dimensional civilization cannot enter the low-dimensional world." Lin Bai said, "Just like we cannot enter a picture. If they are asked to solve the problem, the best way is to destroy the entire picture.
Boris, do you want to see that result? Now, they don’t want to destroy this painting, so they chose me in the painting to solve this problem..."
The face of the Earth Goddess changed, and she subconsciously looked at the sky, as if imagining what the world outside the painting was like.
"In the eyes of Master, both you and the Lord of the Abyss are the same life, and there is no distinction between good and evil. Therefore, I, who was taught by Master, adhere to the same concept. In my heart, black and white
, Good and evil are the same, and all living beings are equal." Lin Bai said with a faint smile.
"If you solve everything, will you walk out of this world?" asked the Earth Goddess.
"Maybe." Lin Bai also cast his gaze to the sky, "Master told me that the way of heaven that I have always understood is the way to transcend this world. Unfortunately, my path has gone astray, and I have gone further and further on the road of love.
, can’t see clearly where the future is?”
…
real world.
Xu Longyun and Jiang Qingqin were shocked, and looked at Lin Bai with guilt-filled eyes.
Xu Longyun took Lin Bai's hand: "Husband, we..."
Lin Bai looked at them and smiled gently: "As long as you are here, it doesn't matter whether I am transcendent or not. There is beauty everywhere in the world, but the way of heaven may not be suitable for me."
Xu Longyun returned a smile and nestled affectionately on Lin Bai's shoulder.
…
"The Way of Heaven?" The Earth Goddess pondered for a moment, looked at Lin Bai, and said, "Lin Bai, my power is endless. I have lived in this world for countless years, and I no longer feel the meaning of survival. To me
For me, losing faith and divine power may be a kind of relief. I don’t care. But now, you have given me new hope. Next, I will verify your statement. If it is true, I hope I can leave.
Go out and see and experience higher-level beings."
"So, you agree to join forces with me?" Lin Bai asked in surprise.
"Yes." The Earth Goddess nodded and said seriously, "Although I am tired of my current life, I will not watch the destruction of the world where I was born. I must be responsible for every living thing in the world..."
