Because the idol school is really good at reviving life and death.
After Professor Gray was "dissolved" in front of Annan and turned into nothing... Annan was still not sure whether Professor Gray was really dead for a while.
It wasn't until Annan's ectoplasm—that is, his experience bar after he advanced to gold—suddenly increased that he could breathe a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, if the experience bar is silent, then it must mean that he is not dead yet...
Although the spiritual essence that Annan obtained was not enough to increase his level - it didn't matter.
It is a pity that the key to the nightmare was not revealed after Professor Gray was killed.
This should be because Professor Gray's true identity is still in the past... so after his personality was dissolved, the "fall" from Professor Gray's body also remained in that original era.
"Is it finally... over?"
Neusser walked over with a complicated expression.
Although Annan did not activate the healing spirit, the severe injuries on his body had already been repaired by the holy bones.
He looked obviously guilty: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I can't help you..."
"You have already helped me a lot."
Annan said calmly and gently: "Thank you very much."
Although Neusser himself didn’t know it…
But it was precisely because of his "hot-blooded" and almost reckless actions that he provided enough intelligence to Annan who was calmly observing from the sidelines.
It can be said that without Neussel, Annan would have had no chance of defeating Professor Gray.
——His meaning is precisely to provide that kind of "possibility".
"...But I still want to thank you."
Neuser said, and bowed respectfully to Annan: "Because Professor Gray was not your enemy from the beginning. What he wanted to take away was my body and name... and it was precisely because of Naifei
It was because of Ertali that you were involved in this incident.
"I can see that until the end, he never wanted to kill you; from the very beginning, you were able to stay out of it - but you didn't."
"That's because the ceremony prepared by Professor Gray requires my participation. That's why he can't kill me."
Annan shook his head: "And this is not because he has mercy... He has never had any mercy. The difference between you and me is that I am more difficult to solve and I have value in using it.
"Just like large beasts that don't eat small animals, it's not because they are kind. It's just that the energy of the food cannot compensate for the consumption of prey, and it lacks some cost performance. If it is meat that is brought to its mouth, it will still eat it.
.
"——And Professor Gray has this kind of animal nature."
Annan's answer impressed Neussel very much.
From the beginning - from the time Neusser first came into contact with Annan in the form of a stone statue, from the time he didn't know Annan's true identity, he thought Annan was a great and good person.
But Annan guessed Neusser's thoughts and shook his head slightly: "Don't think so much, Neusser. In this world, many things have no reason.
"It's not so much that I killed Professor Gray out of hatred...it's more like a simple stance with a different personality."
Annan declared: "After I understand his essence, I cannot coexist with him. As a heavenly carriage, I will not allow such people to steal the truth from the light realm, or even tamper with the light realm to directly demolish this world."
One of the [pillars] of the world.”
This is also part of the rights and responsibilities of the "Crane".
The Sky Crane originally had the responsibility of screening those who ascended to see if they were qualified.
After all, the gods of this world are not so much the monarchs and overlords of this world as they are the managers and guardians of this world.
Compared with strong personal strength, a conscientious heart, an unswerving will, and a character that can complete responsibilities and protect the mission, they are more important factors.
If it is a Heavenly Chariot driver, it can even directly force a being who had no possibility of becoming a god to ascend - of course, this may also be because there is a certain gap between today's race and the primitive race at the beginning of creation.
Objectively speaking, Annan and Professor Gray have no direct conflict of interest, let alone being familiar with each other.
Although the "predecessor" Gray Master and the Sky Cart Master have a good relationship, this does not mean that the Gray Professor and the Sky Cart Master, as their "juniors", will inherit or reverse this relationship.
The connection between Annan and Professor Gray was just that they met once in a nightmare a few decades ago; they could not ignore Nieussel and Nefertari as friends, so they decided to come over and take care of their own business.
"Compared with whether the person I killed was my enemy...in fact, what is more important and what concerns me more is that I stopped what he was about to do.
"If Professor Gray's plan succeeds, he will be able to kill Gray Master. With the death of Gray Master, the truth of [Memory] will also be erased from this world... It may lead to great changes that sweep the entire world.
"The severance of truth and the replacement of gods will radiate into the mortal world, which is a natural disaster. It will undoubtedly cause huge disasters and people will feel pain for it.
"If you appear at that time and turn all tragedies around - you will definitely become a true [hero]. Respected and worshiped by everyone."
Annan said, the corner of his mouth raised slightly: "But I don't want to be [delayed justice]. I would rather no one knows about this matter from the beginning to the end, and solve this disaster at the earliest stage... even if I don't even act as
It doesn’t matter that the ‘direct victim’ plasterer knows nothing about this——”
In a sense, it is also thanks to Professor Gray.
Annan understood more and more... what is called "justice that is never late".
Only when people are not aware of it and are guarding them in secret - only when people's lives are never disrupted by evil, can "justice" be called "never late."
Rather than being called a famous hero, a great man recorded in history, a hero respected by people...
As long as the final result is good, it doesn't matter even if people regard you as a lunatic or a fanatic.
"Because this is a choice that only the strong can make."
Annan said softly: "If I am too weak... I can only solve those incidents that happen to me. The people I can save and the things I can solve are, at best, only those things that can be touched by me.
"In that case, I might be respected as a hero by people. Because people can only see what happens around them.
"But I am strong enough now - I can fundamentally solve the difficulties that everyone may encounter.
"Invasions from other worlds, the harm caused by worms to the world, the sacrifices of evil god believers, the radiation of high-level power struggles; even the darkness deep in the hearts of people, the tragedies caused by barbaric and backward customs, the poverty caused by economic backwardness and insufficient productivity
…”
Annan slowly tightened his grip on the Three Sirens, looked at Neuser, and smiled openly: "These things that can stump [the hero] can be solved by me. I do have such an ability,
And to have such a will...isn't this a very lucky thing?"
"...even if no one knows what you did?"
"Why should I let them know?"
Annan asked back: "I did not accomplish any great miracles by relying on my perseverance, and there is nothing that others can learn from my deeds. I simply relied on my own ability to achieve this step.
"Publishing my deeds will not make people wiser, nor will it make people perseverant. It will also not make people united or proud - because in the end, this is the same as 'unity and mutual help'"
'has nothing to do with 'a sense of belonging to a group', it's just because I happen to be able to do it.
"If people worship me too much, it may lead to superstition, ignorance and fanaticism. My name will become a weapon for people to hurt each other, and they will move away from one extreme and then into another extreme.
“All I have to do is to lead people to be good and to lead them upward.
"Not all people can detect the light of reason and the fire of desire in their own hearts. I think that there is nothing in this world that needs to be worshiped, not even the [gods]. There are just some things that are worthy of awe.
, deserves to be remembered, deserves to be respected - that's all."
Annan said this.
His pupils were bright, and his words deeply shocked Neuser's heart: "The 'gods' believed by the Yaslan people...actually do not have to be worshiped in the cultures of elves, centaurs, giants and dragons.
.
"When I complete my ascension, I will personally correct this mistake."
Annan calmly spoke out like a madman.
"Varied……"
Neusel's expression was a little stiff.
Although he appears to be a person who grew up in an underground city, he has the appearance of an underground person and also grew up in an underground city.
But at his core, Neusser is a winter man who values tradition.
To this day, Neusser has not forgotten the teachings his father gave him in his childhood. For Neusser, Annan's speech was indeed too bold...
However, what confused him the most was that Annan, who said "worship is unnecessary", happened to be their future god and at the same time his master.
Sensing Neussel's hesitation, Annan smiled slightly and continued:
“…But with their identity and position as human beings, even if they are aware of this error, they cannot make corrections.
"Because their identity and position are wrong. As beings protected by the gods, if they say such words, it will directly become rebellion.
"As long as someone thinks from an objective perspective and does not immediately and completely oppose this, they will be labeled as comrades of these rebels by public opinion; and once these rebels make achievements, there will be a group of people who do not think about it at all.
To them, he began to denounce the meaning of the gods' existence.
"Among them, there will inevitably be speculators who are seeking fame, power and wealth... No matter what, their actions will lead to chaos - and even worms.
"Because [there is no need for religion], if you extend it a little bit, it will become [human beings do not need God]. But these are actually two completely different facts. Not to mention 'no need' and 'abolition',"
The boundary between "no worship" and "disrespect" is also very blurry. Without strong constraints, it is very easy for the worm believers who mix in to push the boundary.
"If there were no gods in this world and people believed in an idol, that would be fine. But gods do exist in this world, and the truth and the world are indeed protected by gods.
"Then, those who fanatically pursue the idea of 'destroying the temple' may become extremists who are feared by people."
"Yes," Neusser nodded sincerely, "That's what you said."
In his deduction, what Annan said is entirely possible.
Annan continued: "But if the gods make such a statement, it seems to be betraying all the righteous gods. Because their status is not enough, they cannot make such a publicity on behalf of 'all the gods'.
"At the same time, it is difficult for the opinions of the righteous gods to be unified. The relationship between the righteous gods is not as close as ordinary people imagine... It is even more impossible for them to make similar statements in vain, because such a statement will definitely
It will cause confusion, and those who take a stand must be held accountable.
"Therefore, even if the wise men and gods realize that something is wrong, they can only remain silent. This is not an escape, but because it is not the most urgent fact facing the world and the fact that needs to be changed."
"Simply put, it is not the primary contradiction in the world."
Longjing Cha on the side concluded: "For the ignorant Yasselan people, the presence and intimidation of gods can actually make them abide by the rules.
"Compared with it, the gray fog that completely cuts off the above-ground connections between countries, the civil strife and shock caused by the changes in high-level power in various countries, and the various problems unique to each country, continue from the virtual world
The incoming demons corrode people's hearts, and the worms and their followers that are eyeing this moment from the future...these things are more noteworthy."
"Not bad at all."
Annan nodded appreciatively and said calmly: "What you said is very good.
"If we don't solve these more fundamental, more realistic, and more urgent problems, we will start to deal with those things that are just details... It will seem too ambitious. This is also a good reminder for me."
…That’s not actually what I’m worried about.
Longjing Tea only responded with silence.
He just felt that... maybe it was because Annan used the sublime false body. The "divinity" in Annan's body had become more and more obvious compared to a few hours ago.
In the past, Annan would occasionally think about some such issues, but the opinions he put forward and the ideas he compiled were all able to be fed back to the people immediately. However, Annan's vision has obviously become much higher now...
It's as if his humanity is gradually diminishing and gradually transforming into "divinity".
But if we say that this is the only way to become a god... But all the gods we have seen in Longjing Tea so far are clearly full of "humanity".
——Now Annan is even more like a god than a god.
Although it may be just an illusion.
But just in case, I still have to ask Yin Jue for advice after I return.
If it's a good sign, it's just a false alarm. If you really encounter any trouble... it would definitely be better to find out in advance. Moreover, Yin Jue is well-informed, and it will definitely be better than messing around on his own.
The most important thing Longjing Tea has learned in life so far is not to show off. Leave professional matters to experts, and expert matters to experts... Don't point fingers and give random opinions.
As for how to select qualified "experts" and "experts", this is within his business scope. And Longjing tea also happens to be an "expert" and "expert" in this field.
...it's really troublesome.
But who asked me to treat you as a friend? I'm still going to take the trouble.
