Maybe for magicians, magic really means everything, but for the vast majority of people present, no matter how mysterious and gorgeous magic is, it is really just a means to achieve an end. So Cohen's words are not
It did not cause strong resistance from everyone. To put it another way, even if it was ten times more extreme than this, it would not be likely to be contradicted if Cohen "said" it.
"How stupid, humans! You have refined a Dharma God, but you don't realize how many things you have thrown away that are more important than the Dharma God!" Nizam also had a smile on his face, but this smile was not so kind.
But with contempt, even a little cruel: "This reason can also explain why human beings are not eager to pursue the purpose of survival and believe too much in the method of killing!"
These words were very rude, and the spectators who understood it felt a little pain on their faces.
"This kind of ignorance can be seen everywhere - is it innate to human beings?" Another slap hit the same place.
After repeated demonstrations, most of the audience understood what "Cohen" said, and were convinced and thinking about it. A very few people were convinced and a little aggrieved at the same time - but this emotion was not against the Supreme Being, but against another kind.
exist.
To be fair, in a civilization that has lasted for tens of millions of years, there cannot be a shortage of thinkers among human beings. There will always be people who think about problems like this, and there are even such people among the scholars present.
But unfortunately, they are not Cohen. They do not have the strength of Cohen, and they are not likely to have any influence on the group. Gods, demons and the two palaces are absolute forces for ordinary people, and they can completely block all wisdom and knowledge.
Communication channels. This creates a harsh reality - you see it, but you can’t think of it; you think of it, but you can’t say it; you say it, but it’s the same as not saying it!
"For me, I can have questions that I haven't found the answer to yet, but I can never deceive myself. I can't afford to make up a god to flatter myself. I can't afford to lose this person."
"You don't lack gods. You have invented countless gods like the God of Dharma. Let me tell you what you lack - wisdom. This is the basis of everything." The smile on Nizam's face did not shrink, and his tone was also tense.
It is changing to a tough one: "Wisdom allows humans to see the essence, and essence allows humans to find the truth. This sentence will be a major tenet of the new faith!"
"The God of Dharma himself is not guilty, but the way he exists blocks human beings' vision, so in the new faith, I cannot tolerate such a shoddy god." Nizam repeated his old trick and closed the gold with a "snap"
Book, called over a priest standing in the outer circle, pointed to the statue of the God of Dharma.
The latter took a few steps forward, his steps staggered, and the staff in his hand poked the waist of the statue with a "whoosh" sound!
With a sound of "Dang!", the statue of the God of Dharma exploded. In an instant, golden fragments were flying all over the sky!
"Okay!" The supreme accusation, the injustice of fate, and the accumulated negative emotions of the spectators seemed to be broken together with the statue of the God of Dharma! Hundreds of thousands of people cheered!
However, some people are still worried.
As early as when Nizam criticized the God of Dharma, scholars were somewhat mentally prepared, but no one expected that the subsequent scene would be so violent. The new faith actually destroyed a statue of a god with a wide range of believers in public! This news
Once word spreads, the magicians on Bis Continent will probably become furious, right?
A cold snort came out, and the face of the eldest princess of the God Clan became even colder, and her eyes when looking at Cohen were full of haze; and the face of the eldest princess of the Demon Clan, who was sitting opposite her, also looked a little ugly... Although he is not the God of Dharma,
The gods belonging to the two tribes of gods and demons were born for the rule of the two tribes. The new faith smashing the statues means that it must compete with them at least in terms of magic interpretation.
Logically speaking, since the new faith is brand new, it will naturally be different from gods and demons in many places, and the gods can also have their own explanations. But the point is that Cohen used a conventional deity like the God of Law to operate.
, had a greater impact on the gods and demons, and he concealed such steps in the advance announcement, which made the two eldest princesses more and more wary - God knows what other back-ups Cohen has prepared, if the gods and demons are there
Being suppressed in full public view would be a shame that cannot be washed away!
"It's eye-opening to me that Mr. Cohen uses the Dharma God to establish his authority. The new faith has vigorous vitality, which also makes me happy. However, too much vitality may make people act recklessly." After a short silence, the God Clan said
The eldest princess spoke. The standard official warning tone, coupled with her frozen expression, caused the surrounding temperature to drop suddenly.
"Since it has been broken, it must be established." The Demon Clan's eldest princess took over the words: "The new faith will not leave only fragments of this place, right?"
"Yes, it is logical to break and establish, but don't be impatient, you have to do things in order." Cohen smiled: "Today is the new faith establishment ceremony, and I also want to finish it early and let everyone go eat and drink - but
Before the faith is established, I must explain the proposition of faith to everyone, otherwise this ceremony will be no different from a cocktail party."
There was no humility at all in his answer, and there was an aura of "I am the boss here, you guys just shut up and listen". If he were not facing the nurturing Her Majesty Hermini, it would have been someone else.
I'm afraid I'll be pissed off on the spot. From this point of view, Cohen's style really hasn't changed, and it's more refined in use.
"When I was an ignorant young man, I wanted to ask what God is and what God should be like... But unfortunately, I did not have the conditions to seek the answer at that time. Sorry, Your Highnesses, gods, demons, or deities,
Although faith has many names, it is essentially the same." He pressed the hilt of his sword lightly with his left hand and strolled leisurely in the square, exuding a strong confidence in his behavior and speech: "Do human beings worship because of their own needs? Or do humans worship because of their own needs?
Are gods automatically worshiped because they are too great?"
"Let's bring the topic back to the God of Magic. He has been reduced to pieces, but this does not prevent us from talking about him - why do humans worship him so much? It is nothing more than wanting to get more magical power, nothing more than wanting to use this
Strengthen your ability to master magic. There are many similar gods. The common feature is that they are the first people in a certain industry. But normally, for those who founded a certain industry, latecomers only need to be grateful and respectful.
Just pray to it and repent, why is that?"
"From this point of view, most of the current beliefs are motivated by human beings' own needs and their eagerness for quick success. Human beings' short-sightedness and laziness prompt people to quickly find a god and use petitions to pray for rewards, thinking that
This can be exchanged for wealth, security and even survival - thinking back, is God stupid? Will he satisfy you just because you ask for prayers?"
"Okay, assuming that the gods will satisfy you, but just like the northerners want the land of the southerners, and the southerners want the lives of the northerners, who do the gods want to satisfy? Even if the gods are the biological fathers of humans
, and probably also have a hard time thinking about who to help and who not to help. Let us also assume that the gods cannot satisfy both parties at the same time. What is the reason? Is it because one party is not pious enough? Continue to assume that the gods have to use piety to decide.
If one party is satisfied or not, what is the difference between this and a bidding auction?"
Just now, Nitzan was reading from the script, and it was not easy for others to interrupt even if they had any objections. But now that Cohen is personally explaining it, there is no such convenience! Not to mention that he is actually denying the previous beliefs of mankind.
"Your Excellency's remarks don't seem to be clarifying your own opinions. They are more like a conjecture or even a vent." The Demon Clan Princess interjected without thinking. For her, this has become urgent. She can neither
Let Cohen continue to exert unlimited power, and she cannot let the eldest princess of the God Clan come forward - based on her understanding of the former, the latter's speech is very likely to cause conflict.
"I agree with His Highness's words, speculation, venting, doubt, you can use this to describe my behavior." Cohen nodded, not feeling offended at all: "But at the same time, Your Highness also has to admit that this is human nature.
The reason why Sibia is able to achieve what it is today, and the reason why humans can come to this square to examine themselves today, is also because of this kind of nature - if humans were content with shacks in the wild, there would not be today's cities;
If human beings were satisfied with having enough food and clothing, there would be no writing, language, or art!"
"These achievements of mankind were all achieved under the guidance of God." The eldest princess of the gods finally spoke to her, just as the eldest princess of the demon clan had worried, the person who came here was evil.
"Yes, human beings have these under the guidance of God, but what about tomorrow? Do they still have these?" The smile on Cohen's face faded: "Please answer me, Your Highness, today humans know how to kill, so should they still have it tomorrow?
You only know how to kill and poke?"
"That's nonsense - ridiculous!" The eldest princess of the God Clan couldn't help it. She almost stood up, but she seemed to realize that the situation was different and forced herself to hold it back.
"Both of you, please come back to the ceremony." The demon princess came forward again, trying to get things back on track: "I think there are countless people waiting for the declaration of new beliefs. Why doesn't His Highness Cohen do this first?"
"I'm doing it." Cohen shrugged nonchalantly, not shying away from touching the most sensitive nerves of others: "What is faith? What should faith look like? What kind of gods should humans worship?
What kind of faith should human beings carry towards tomorrow? This was a question I had before - fortunately, I have the answer to this question."
The spirits of the scholars were lifted. After a lot of questions and foreshadowing, they could finally hear the key statement of faith!
"I, Cohen Keda, am standing here by chance, but I did not intend to become a god or a believer before." Everyone present felt that Cohen was staring at them: "I know what you are missing,
I know what mankind lacks, and in the whole world, I am the only one who can give you this!"
"Human beings should have a faith that goes straight to the heart and cannot be changed; worshiping gods should not focus on the appearance, form, and abilities of the gods, but on the characteristics and properties contained in the gods - you understand,
The reason why God is called God and is qualified to be worshiped by humans is because he is filled with divinity!"
"Even if something like the God of Dharma is embodied in detail - what should be held in his hands and what should be worn on his robes can be clearly seen - but he has no divinity and has not pointed out to you what you should achieve.
A place that can be reached. Even if there is such a god, all you get from him is to make other people more afraid of you."
"He grows as high as a mountain, can drink as much water as the sea, even if he can destroy a continent with just a raise of his hand - he can only be said to be powerful! There must be an even more powerful person above the powerful, and today humans worship him
Well, what if a stronger one comes tomorrow? Do you want to switch to it? You will become a shield and victim of chaos."
"And the gods in some alien beliefs, such as natural totem gods like the Moonlight Goddess, have no divinity. They never advocate anything and do not respond to people. It is delusional to get guidance from them. So the elemental ones
So what about gods? I think their status is probably not even comparable to that of Dharma Gods."
"What is divinity! Divinity must be higher than human nature, and can show people a more perfect realm that is unimaginable. Divinity must also accept human nature, and it is not that it requires people to do things that are simply impossible. God
Sex can guide people, instead of reaping disappointment after repeated efforts. When human nature is integrated into divinity, people can be promoted and can restrain greed, arrogance and all temptations that lead people to disaster."
After saying this, Cohen happened to be standing in the center of the square. He paused and spoke slower. The eldest princess of the God Clan obviously wanted to interrupt, but was unable to do so after being swept away by Cohen's aggressive eyes.
"When I was young, I didn't know how to think carefully. I thought that impulse was everything I had, and I thought that what I saw in my eyes was the whole world. Today, when I can look at the world with a maturity, when I know that I should use '
When I try to define 'god' in terms of divinity, I have already lost too much..."
Cohen's eyes were confused for a moment, and he slowly raised his head. His voice was the only one left in the square. Everyone was listening intently, for fear of missing a word. The core proposition of the third faith is in the vast legend.
In the sound system, every word was disclosed by Keon Keda...
"Today, I will give you gods!"
"God cares for every life, regardless of high or low, rich or poor, regardless of race or region." His voice was rich, with waves of tremors that went straight to the heart, and the words he spoke were unforgettable.
"God does not ask for offerings, does not demand prayers, only a minimum of reverence." He spoke clearly, and there was no ambiguity or doubt in his words. It was like an iron mark, indelible.
"God will take care of mankind in his own way and spend time with those in need, no matter when and where." He had a calm demeanor and slowly conveyed the thoughts he wanted to express to everyone without forcing them.
, not showing off, not threatening, restrained and generous.
"One of the divinities, wisdom! Makes life renew itself." Cohen pointed his finger, and a jade sculpture slowly rose on the edge of the square. It was the image of a young woman with her head tilted in contemplation: "The God of Wisdom!"
"The second divinity, courage! Makes life progress." Another jade statue rose. The mighty man stretched out his right hand to the sky, with his five fingers bent like a hook, as if to grasp the sun and stars: "The God of Courage!"
"The third part of divinity is dignity! Let life define itself - the God of dignity!"
"The fourth of divinity, faith! Makes life indomitable - the god of faith!"
"The fifth of divinity is love! What makes life different from nature - the god of love!"
"The sixth divine nature is justice! Make life generous and kind - the God of justice!"
"The Seventh Divinity, Pride! Make life feel glorious - the God of Pride!"
Following Cohen's announcement, statues rose up one after another and were evenly arranged on the edge of the square. The image and face of each one were so ordinary. If these statues were shrunk and placed in the seats, they would be no different from the spectators, and they would even look different. There are shapes taken from alien races - the wings of the elves, the beards of the dwarves, and the palms of the water tribe. These remarkable features can be found in the seven statues!
Careful people can find that among the statues of the gods, some should be familiar figures, such as the God of Faith. His old and firm face is very similar to the late Marshal Martin Luther!
There were too many ordinary people in the audience. Maybe they didn't understand what Cohen said before, maybe they didn't understand the confrontation between faiths, but the names of the seven gods have undoubtedly been engraved in their hearts! This is the third faith. A unique god who is also the god of humans in Bis continent!
The priests all over the place knelt down and buried their heads on the ground. While listening, they chanted the previous sentence in unison. In the second half, they gradually became more passionate and merged into a wave that shook the world, reaching the strongest sound in the human world!
"God and divinity are eternal and unchangeable and cannot be defeated!"
"God and divinity coexist with me and cannot be surpassed!" (To be continued)
