Whether it is the priests of various families on the half-height platform or the believers below who are listening to the theological debate, they all suddenly feel that their heads are not full. What is the small world, the middle world, the big world, what is the infinite land, the sand of the Solna River
Numbers are simply unheard of, unseen, and even unimagined. However, such a world structure and such huge numbers make people feel majestic, which further highlights the supremacy of El, the "God of Resurrection, Fertility and Redemption."
Anhui Si, who was hiding in the corner, looked at Lucien and Francis blankly and murmured: "Is this really great El? I, why don't I recognize him..."
Francis looked at Lucien with an attitude that wanted to laugh but also admired him. Although he couldn't bear the pain in his stomach, he had to give a thumbs up quietly. Talent, indeed talent! Even if he can't be a true "disciple" in the future,
He doesn't know how to play musical instruments, so becoming a bard who specializes in telling stories and rumors will not bury his "outstanding ability" in this area, and he will inevitably become an epic figure.
Opposite him, Norbu looked at Lucien who was talking and laughing freely. He felt as if his imagination had been crushed and he couldn't even brag to others. He was angry and angry, his body was shaking, and he seemed to be about to collapse from brain congestion at any time.
Although according to Lucien's ideas, it is possible to arrange the small and immeasurable land, the medium and immeasurable land, and the immeasurable land, placing the Moon God above the El God, so that there will be no pressure to "blow" it until this time next year, but
In this way, even the uneducated believers below can see that this power is purely copied from the "God of Resurrection". Except for a few diehards who are willing to believe it, most people will think that the Moon God has no choice but to
If you can rely on repeating the other party's words to gain a sense of presence, you will undoubtedly lose the debate and even give people the impression that you are lying from beginning to end. This will cut off the only hope after being expelled from the river valley.
Similar thoughts appeared in the minds of the Lord of the Underworld, the God of Thunder, and the priests of the God of Sun and Justice. They all frowned and grimaced, trying to find a concept that was superior to the Leviathan worldview.
But they all belong to primitive religions and have not even developed simple philosophy. Their imaginations are limited by themselves and the times. What can they use to continue to "brag"?
The priests of the Mother Goddess of the Earth, the God of Wisdom, the God of Wind and Rain, and the God of Love had already lost the theological debate before. At this time, they all looked at the other priests with distorted schadenfreude expressions as they were about to be expelled from the river valley, so they would be expelled together.
out.
Lucien smiled and said leisurely: "My Lord opens up immeasurable land, maintains immeasurable land, destroys immeasurable land, and creates new immeasurable land from destruction. He is responsible for creation, maintenance and destruction.
The function is for circulation and resurrection.”
It's really an exaggeration... Norbu and the other priests racked their brains but couldn't think of anything, so they could only secretly curse.
"Our Lord has created a new paradise outside of this endless land of endless birth and death, which will last forever. This is what I just said, so that brothers and sisters who truly believe in the Lord and repent devoutly can be saved and enjoy
The place of eternal peace and happiness, our Lord calls it..." Lucien originally wanted to use Paradise Mountain directly, but it was easy for Francis to see that it was inappropriate, so he forcibly changed his words, "Ultimate Paradise, Elysium,
Or the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.”
The believers below made inhaling sounds and exclamations one after another. They didn't expect that El God would be so great that he would redeem himself and others. But this was consistent with Lucien's previous description, echoing back and forth, making people feel vaguely.
If you are willing to believe that paradise really exists, and if you believe deeply in the great "God of Resurrection, Fertility and Redemption" you can really escape from this world full of pain and degradation after death.
He is indeed the God of salvation!
The momentum of the priests such as Nobu was taken away. Their faces turned pale and they wanted to refute but could not find a breakthrough. Niena also narrowed her eyes slightly, as if she was deep in thought.
Suddenly, Norbu stood up from the silver chair, took a step forward, and shouted loudly: "Leviathan, let me ask you, before your so-called god created the world, what was the original state of the Infinite Land? Where was the Paradise?
What's the situation again?"
Lucien didn't expect that he could ask this key question. He was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that because Niena's lips were moving slightly behind, others might not be able to see it, but how could Lucien, who has the strength of a knight, not notice it.
It seems that the priests of the Lord of War cannot sit still either.
"It is nothingness, it is also chaos, it is the origin of space and time." Lucien deliberately exposed his flaws, and his excessive performance would arouse Francis' suspicion.
Nobu laughed loudly: "Then let me ask you, where does nothingness come from, where does chaos come from, and what is beyond nothingness and chaos?"
He added in his mind that he is the great moon god.
The believers are also confused, yes, where does nothingness come from, what is before nothingness, and what is beyond nothingness. Is it a greater existence?
Francis' eyes lighted up slightly after hearing this question, and he seemed to have finally found his own rhythm. After signaling Lucien with his eyes, he stood up and said: "Beyond nothingness and chaos is indescribable, that is, my Lord!"
"Indescribable? What is that?" Norbu and other priests laughed loudly.
Francis said seriously: "Whether nothingness, chaos, or the origin of time and space is the definition of human beings, the concept of human beings is within human imagination. The existence of our Lord transcends all definitions, all meanings, and all cause and effect.
A concept, all matter, all spirit, all language, so it is indescribable and cannot be described."
Huh? This is even more terrifying and incomprehensible than the "Leviathan" world view just now. No matter whether it is Nobu and other priests, or Nina behind it, they all look dull.
Francis smiled: "I come from a country in the desert to the east. Lucien Evans, a famous wise man there, once had a profound explanation of this..."
Lucien the Wise = Evans...Lucien almost burst out, but luckily he held it back.
Nina, Norbu and other priests and believers wondered in shock, has the greatness of God El already enveloped the east?
"He said that our observation of things is limited by the conditions of our body and soul, and we can only get a one-sided understanding. For example, the light in front of us is actually colorful, but we can't see anything and can only occasionally pass through it.
Only with the help of water or bubbles can we discover the original appearance of light. Therefore, our understanding is human and mortal. The definitions we make, our logic, and our imagination are all mortal, and mortal definitions, meanings and
Logic certainly cannot describe the truly great being who is our Lord."
"That's why I say that our Lord transcends all definitions, all meanings, all cause and effect, all concepts, all matter, all spirits, and all languages. Whether it is nothingness or nothingness, it is not a reality that you can understand or imagine.
It is blasphemy to use mortal definitions to understand the existence of God."
As soon as this concept came out, Nina, Norbu and other priests seemed to have been mentally cleansed. It turned out that their previous understanding of God was so superficial. They were using mortal minds to describe an existence that transcended all. However, they often manifested themselves and acted lewdly.
It seems that the gods who enjoy themselves do not meet the definition of gods except for their power.
Lucien also stood up and said with a gentle smile: "Our Lord both exists and does not exist, is both nothingness and non-nothingness, and cannot be described by concepts such as attributes, differences, shapes, time and space, limitations, subjectivity, cause and effect, etc.
Essentially beyond them, there is no need for faith or worship.”
"However, we humans need faith and salvation, so our understanding of the true Lord is in the next level concept, which is manifested as the great God of resurrection, abundance and redemption, who is the incarnation of the true Lord.
One body."
"We only need to worship and believe in the God of Resurrection, Fertility and Redemption, and perform pious repentance, and then we can obtain salvation. We cannot understand and describe the real Lord, and the real Lord does not need our understanding and description. We cannot
If it affects the true Lord, the true Lord will not try to influence the world."
Francis nodded in agreement. Leviathan was able to construct a duality in the philosophical sense of "the true Lord and the Lord's incarnation in the material and spiritual world" based on his simple statement. His theological talent was truly outstanding, but it was still too great.
It’s complicated and inconvenient for preaching.
"But, might he have something weird?" Francis thought with a slight twinkle in his eye.
When Lucien said this, he smiled inwardly. It is not affected by the world and will not affect the world. It is even meaningless to discuss whether it exists or not. According to the principle of Occam's razor, there is no need to exist at all.
, is there any difference? If such an existence represents God, then we can justly say "God is dead".
And whatever has caused an impact must leave traces and must be able to be explored and explained.
After listening to Lucien's expression, the lower-level believers who had been confused by Francis' description probably understood. Anyway, it is right to believe in "the God of Resurrection, Abundance and Redemption". The backstage is very hard!
Niena, the high priest of the Lord of War, could no longer find any questions to refute. She exuded a cold feeling all over her body and clenched her right hand into a fist. It seemed to symbolize that the Lord of War was not good at fighting "verbally", but could fight from the body and soul.
Kill the enemy on both sides.
Lucien suddenly felt something strange in Francis's eyes, and understood that he had gone too far and aroused suspicion, so he smiled calmly: "Don't try to pry into or understand the real Lord, otherwise you will be infected by the infinite unknown and transcendence.
, became an indescribable monster, entangled in eternal pain."
Phew, the believers and priests who were still thinking about Lucien's words just now subconsciously stopped thinking about this. Isn't this too terrifying?
However, when they thought about it, it seemed that a truly great existence should be like this. This was in line with their past understanding!
Francis shook his head indifferently. "He" still couldn't get rid of the intimidating concept of primitive religion, and he couldn't get rid of the limitations of the surrounding environment. Although he was talented, he fell into vulgarity. However, this idea and concept seemed to be quite good...
Further away, El was watching closely here. His eyes were flaming violently but gentle and quiet, with a sense of purification. He said to himself in unusual confusion: "Is this me?"
