Chen Guang also let go of the resistance in his heart.
He didn't believe in Hades before. In addition to thinking that Hades was illusory, he also hated the gods' supreme and strict hierarchical teachings.
But at this moment, Lin Mu's words, "All living beings are equal, no one is superior", instantly hit his heart.
In his mind, this is the real god.
Gods should not be high and overlook the world, but should be benevolent, broad and gentle. They should not be the masters of power, but should be the embodiment of truth.
"Sir Messenger, I would like to ask you where exactly Lord Hades is. I wonder if I can see Lord Hades in my lifetime?"
The old patriarch didn't have as many thoughts as Chen Guang, and was completely immersed in the joy of the arrival of the messenger of Hades.
"Lord Hades may be in the underworld, or in any corner of the universe. He has thousands of incarnations and is everywhere. Maybe a leaf or a stone you see is the incarnation of Lord Hades."
Lin Mu is very good at answering this kind of question.
"I understand."
The old patriarch seemed to have thought of something and trembled excitedly, "When I was young, I suffered from a serious illness and I was supposed to die. But when I was about to die, I accidentally saw an eagle flying over. I didn't think much about it before.
Now that I think about it, that eagle might be the incarnation of Lord Hades, who brought the old man back to life."
""
Lin Mu looked at the old patriarch with admiration. This was so relatable that Lin Mu felt that he didn't even need to describe how powerful Hades was. The old patriarch would take the initiative to make Hades omnipotent.
"Master Envoy of God, I am Chen Guang of the Zhuyun Tribe. If Master Envoy doesn't mind, I would like to take the liberty of asking you a question."
Seeing that Lin Mu was indeed gentle and open-minded, Chen Guang no longer had so much fear, so he stepped forward and cupped his hands.
"You don't need to call me Sir, just call me Lin Mu."
Lin Mu smiled lightly, "You can ask whatever you want, and just treat me as an ordinary guest."
"Then I will call the Lord God Envoy Sir."
Chen Guang knew how to be measured and would not really lose his courtesy because of Lin Mu's politeness. He said respectfully, "What I want to ask is why the belief in Hades is declining day by day. Moreover, when I was wandering around in the past, I saw many books.
As well as people with status, they all say that after death, the soul will return to heaven, earth and nature, so the underworld and the god of Hades do not actually exist."
Other young people also looked at Lin Mu curiously, wanting to see how the envoy would explain this problem.
"Chen Guang, I think your skin is really thick. The belief in Hades will wither away because there are too many disloyal believers like you." The old patriarch couldn't bear to hear anyone say something bad about Hades, and he suddenly became angry again.
.
"It doesn't matter."
Lin Mu smiled and waved to the old patriarch to calm his anger, and then said in a relaxed tone, "Actually, what these people said is that the underworld and the god of Hades do not exist, and they are right."
He knew very well that he would have to face this problem sooner or later.
Because in the past, Hades did not exist. If the Hades religion wants to develop well in the future, he must solve this problem.
It is not advisable to forcefully deny other people's previous thinking, as it can easily arouse people's rebellious psychology, so they must find another angle to explain.
"ah?"
Sure enough, everyone in the Zhuyun tribe was shocked for a while.
Especially those young people, they thought that Lin Mu would refute and criticize this kind of thinking in a just and righteous way. They even prepared a lot of rhetoric in their hearts to embarrass Lin Mu.
It's not that they have any objections to Lin Mu, but that except for the older generation of the tribe, none of them, the young people, have really believed in Hades before.
Now if they are asked to accept the belief in Hades, they will inevitably feel a little uncomfortable.
"First point, the underworld will only save creatures who believe in Hades. Creatures who do not believe in Hades cannot enter the underworld after death and will only be obliterated by the magnetic field of heaven and earth. These gods will undoubtedly return to the nature of heaven and earth after death.
"
Lin Mu said calmly.
"Then don't the creatures who believe in Hades not have to return to nature after death?"
Chen Guang frowned.
"Creatures who believe in Hades can reach the underworld after death, but the underworld itself is also a part of the nature of heaven and earth, so it also returns to the nature of heaven and earth. Therefore, whether you enter the underworld or not, it is a return to the nature of heaven and earth."
Lin Mu smiled and said, "As for the second point, in the Hades religion, there is a saying that if you believe in it, you will have a spirit, if you don't believe it, you will have nothing. Those who believe in Hades will one day find out that the God of Hades is real, and those who do not believe in the God of Hades will
God's creatures can never enter the underworld, nor can they see Hades. For them, the underworld and Hades do not exist."
"But it is precisely because of the natural way of God of Hades that he values equality with all living beings, and those who believe in me will come and those who do not believe in me will go by themselves. Therefore, he will not deliberately prove his existence to anyone, so that the God of Hades cannot be like other religions.
The Fanatic Cult is expanding so rapidly, but it is gradually declining. In my opinion, this is not the fault of Hades, but the fault of us believers."
"Those who believe in me will come; those who do not believe in me will go."
The eyes of Chen Guang and the Zhuyun Tribe people present became brighter and brighter.
In their hearts, the image of a god who treats all living beings as one and the same, has unlimited ambitions, and is free and easy. With Lin Mu's words, the image suddenly became fuller.
But at the same time, the old patriarch said with a guilty look on his face: "Master God Envoy, no, Mr. God Envoy, you said that the decline of the Hades Religion is not the fault of Hades, but the fault of us believers?"
"certainly."
Lin Mu said sternly, "The God of Hades is an existence beyond the mortal world. He has no desires or pursuits. Naturally, he will not care about the things of the mortal world. But how can we believers watch the decline of the God of Hades without being indifferent. The rise and fall of the religion depends on everyone.
Therefore, we should not blame others for the decline of Hades, but we should think about whether we have done anything for Hades."
"Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of religion."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Zhuyun tribe felt guilty.
Scanning everyone's expressions, Lin Mu felt secretly happy.
The words "Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the religion" was actually said by Shen Beitang. The original words were "Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world." Li Ruoyu mentioned it when he told him the story of Shen Beilun last time, and he memorized it.
This sentence didn't touch him at first, but now it seems that it also had a great impact on these Zhuyun tribe people.
"No one needs to blame themselves."
Lin Mu slowed down his tone again and said gently, "You didn't think of this before. It's just that there was no one to guide you. That's why the God of Hades sent me here. This is exactly my responsibility."
"Mr. Angel, what should we do in the future?"
The old patriarch said solemnly.
"You don't have to do anything deliberately. You just need to regard Pluto as your guide in life and regard the things that Pluto teaches as your own business. I hope that every believer in Pluto can support each other and make their lives better in the world.
The cause of the Hades Cult is developing with great light and heat."
Lin Mu said, "In the Cult of Hades, each of us is not only a believer, but also a protagonist. There is no distinction between high and low status here, only the distribution of positions. Whatever abilities you have, you can hold whatever position you have, and play your due role
The power of.”
"Everyone is not only a believer, but also a protagonist."
In an instant, the eyes of the people in the Zhuyun tribe flashed with fiery light, and their chests could not help but stand up.
