Chapter 71: "Madman!"
The God of Wisdom played a joke and immediately confessed the reason.
He came to Sur to say this.
He gently asked Xia Xifeng: "Are you satisfied with this world?"
Xia Xifeng wanted to say that he was satisfied, but when he opened his mouth, the word "satisfied" got stuck in his throat, and for some reason, no sound came out.
He hesitated for a moment and said, "Is it okay?"
The God of Wisdom smiled.
He glanced around, his eyes wrinkled with laughter. "I'm very satisfied with the City of Hope. This city is very vibrant, isn't it?"
Su Er said angrily, "Just say what you want to say, don't beat around the bush."
The God of Wisdom raised his hand and waved, "Alas, you're still as impatient as ever. I'm not beating around the bush, I'm just expressing my feelings."
Teacher Su Er was impatient? Xia Xifeng was filled with disbelief. Teacher Su Er had a saintly temper, so how could he be impatient? Wasn't it Mr. Amuruo who was impatient?
The God of Wisdom looked at Xia Xifeng, whose face showed everything, and his smile became even more kind.
He said he would not continue beating around the bush, but he also didn't speak directly. Instead, like a scholar standing at a podium, he slowly laid out his "argument": "When you first came to this world, were you confused by the fragmentation of its productivity?"
The word "productivity" spoken by the God of Wisdom gave Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang a somewhat awkward feeling.
Xia Xifeng said, "Indeed. But with magic being such a useful energy source, it's inevitable."
The God of Wisdom smiled and shook his head. "When encountering an enemy, if we don't have magical weapons, can we not just use ordinary iron tools? If iron isn't available, there are still weapons made of wood and stone. In battle, people strive to find the most effective weapons at hand. How come labor has become so much more ineffective?"
He didn't wait for Xia Xifeng to answer and started talking to himself.
As the god of wisdom, spreading wisdom is his "vocation" and also his "obsession".
As the God of Evolution, he wants to see not the evolution of two individuals or groups, but the evolution of the entire "world." To achieve this goal, the entire "civilization" must evolve.
So the two gods hit it off immediately.
As soon as the God of Wisdom's "self-awareness" was born, the God of Evolution invited him to form an alliance.
The two gods traveled the world together, imparting wisdom and trying to promote the evolution of civilization.
Civilized society did develop rapidly at first, but when did this development stagnate?
When all development relies on personal strength, an evil "legend" can destroy civilization in an instant, and a friendly "legend" will also aggravate the inertia of civilization - a legendary druid can easily produce daily food for thousands or tens of thousands of people, so why would mortals think about improving agricultural technology?
"Peace breeds laziness, and war promotes evolution." The God of Wisdom asked Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang, "Is it the same in your place?"
Xia Xifeng's mind was in a knot.
"It doesn't have to be a war, competition is fine too." Qin Lang patted Xia Xifeng on the shoulder and told him to stay away from the God of Wisdom to avoid being tricked.
This was the first time he took the initiative to replace Xia Xifeng in "passing the plot".
"I understand what you mean. When class structures solidify, the ruling class will tend to suppress technological development to prevent others from overthrowing their class. At this time, external forces are needed to force the ruling class to seek change." Qin Lang said, "You and the God of Evolution want to take advantage of the invasion of the outer gods to disrupt the existing order of the dream world, forcing the powerful who live too comfortably to pay attention to people and things they originally didn't pay attention to, and forcing ordinary people who are living in precarious situations to actively seek progress while racking their brains to survive."
So they became "evil" gods, gods of war and conspiracy.
The God of Wisdom still maintained a scholarly smile: "Do you think this is a mistake?"
Qin Lang said, "Right or wrong depends on the perspective of the evaluator. There's no simple distinction. But I think it's disgusting."
He held down Xia Xifeng, who was about to argue, and continued, "After coming to this world and getting to know its gods, I've been wondering: what's the difference between a god with self-awareness who can interfere with the mortal world and an eternal, unchanging king who tramples over everyone?"
Qin Lang lazily looked up at the sun.
Bored Hope Day was eavesdropping again.
"In our world, the lowest class can shout slogans like 'Are kings, nobles, prime ministers, and generals born noble?' and overthrow corrupt kings and dynasties. In this world, you ignite the flames of war for what you call 'evolution,' and it's much more difficult for the creatures burned in the flames to overthrow you gods." Qin Lang said calmly, "Whether gods are good or bad, it's better if those who can interfere with the mortal world don't exist."
Qin Lang withdrew his gaze from the sun and looked at the God of Wisdom: "Actually, you and the God of Evolution think the same, right? The murders of the Eternal King and the Sea Emperor both had your influence."
Qin Lang said that it would be best if gods who interfered with the mortal world did not exist. However, the God of Wisdom did not get angry because of this offense. Instead, he smiled more kindly: "It's not a shadow. They descended to the mortal world, and so did we. This is an open and aboveboard war between gods. Compared to them descending to the mortal world and using divine power, the God of Evolution and I completely eliminated them as mortals. You see, after learning their lesson, they have calmed down a lot."
Xia Xifeng finally calmed down.
When the God of Wisdom said that he and the God of Evolution started a war for the "evolution of civilization", Xia Xifeng almost punched him.
He doesn't care about any lofty goals. Anyone who takes the initiative to provoke a war and harms countless lives deserves to die!
Xia Xifeng's feeling of nausea was slightly alleviated when he heard that the God of Wisdom and the God of Evolution also killed the gods who hindered the spread of wisdom and the evolution of civilization.
At least these two guys are not hypocritical.
Judging from their actions and the subsequent "game plot", they themselves are willing to die for their ideals.
When encountering such "villains", even if Xia Xifeng disagrees, he has to admire their persistence in their ideals.
These bastards will definitely move forward towards their set goals with unwavering determination, and no amount of empty talk will shake them in the slightest.
What is a super villain whose determination is even stronger than the protagonist? Xia Xifeng is most annoyed by this kind of character.
"The Sea Emperor is a projection of the Water God. Whose projection is the Eternal King?" Xia Xifeng asked curiously, "Doesn't he call himself the Son of God?"
The God of Wisdom smiled and explained to Xia Xifeng: "He is the projection of the World Tree."
Xia Xifeng: “…”
He took a deep breath and said, "Impossible! I don't believe it!"
Although the projection of a spirit is like reincarnation, and anything can happen, how could I, the gentle and kind World Tree Mother who deeply loves all living things in the world, be the arrogant and tyrannical Eternal Elf King who strictly enforces racial segregation?!
Xia Xifeng turned his neck stiffly and looked at his teacher.
The teacher should know a lot of secrets about the gods, right?
Although Su Er was reluctant, he punctured Xia Xifeng's beautiful fantasy and nodded slightly.
Xia Xifeng opened his mouth slightly and took several gulps of cold air.
No, this is impossible... How is this possible?
The God of Wisdom said gently, "If He had not been killed by a mortal once, how could He have ignited His love for mortals as equals?"
Xia Xifeng swallowed a mouthful of cold air and almost choked himself.
Qin Lang glanced at Xia Xifeng.
He even told Xia Xifeng not to talk to the God of Wisdom. See, his defense is broken, right?
The God of Wisdom described in detail his ideals and the efforts he and the God of Evolution had made to achieve them.
Even though he didn't tell Sur his purpose directly, Sur understood.
Su Er said tiredly, "You and the God of Evolution want to take advantage of this opportunity to start a war again, and want me to stay out of it?"
The God of Wisdom nodded slowly: "Don't worry, your Free Alliance is doing well, and the war will not affect you here."
His gaze was looking into the distance.
Under a big tree outside the city gate, an ordinary-looking mercenary was bargaining with a halfling who was setting up a stall, trying to get a cheap magic device at half the price.
The halfling was so angry that he jumped up and down.
50% off, are you here to cause trouble? Go away!
The mercenary ignored the halfling's fury and continued to bargain slowly.
In the end, the halfling was worn out and lost his temper, so he got another 10% discount.
The mercenary decided to quit while he was ahead and bought new equipment at 30% off the original price.
The halfling sold his things, but he looked extremely sad. He packed up his stall and went home sadly.
The corners of Soul's mouth twitched slightly.
He strode up to the mercenary and asked, "Are you short of that little money?"
The mercenary smirked and said, "What does the joy of getting a bargain have to do with money? Have you reached an agreement? Then take me on a tour. I'm very interested in your child's workshop."
Sur really wanted to reveal his true form as a dragon and whip the god away with one blow of his tail.
Wasn't it just an excuse that the God of Wisdom and the God of Evolution wanted him to stay out of their plans? They were simply interested in their own two little dragon eggs and had come to observe his eggs!
The mercenary reached out to grab the little Amuruo on Su Er's shoulder and said, "Long time no see."
Little Amuruo teleported to Suer's other shoulder: "Do you want to fight?"
The mercenary smiled and retracted his hand: "Now I need to save some strength. I don't want to fight you."
He looked at Qin Lang and Xia Xifeng behind Qin Lang.
"Don't be so vigilant. I'm really just here for a visit." The mercenary greeted Qin Lang and Xia Xifeng cheerfully. "The impending war won't affect this place. You don't need to be wary of me."
Xia Xifeng poked his head out from behind Qin Lang and said, "War will weaken our strength and faith. Aren't you afraid of the destruction of the world?"
Even though he knew the result would be as the God of Wisdom and the God of Evolution wished, he couldn't help but want to say a few words.
The mercenary shook his head. "In order not to weaken our own strength and faith, the God of Wisdom and I have surrendered to the Outer Gods, helping their pawns in the mortal world to provoke war."
Xia Xifeng: "..." Although he already knew the future, he was still choked by these words.
Su Er's expression was distorted: "Madman!"
The mercenary raised his index finger and shook it. "Sul, I am a god. Gods' thoughts are inherently different from those of mortals. The crazy comments you mortals make cannot be applied to gods. Don't waste your time. It's not easy for me to come to the mortal world once. Be my guide. I'll be waiting here for you to invite me into the city. That's enough honor for you."
Su Er protected Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang behind him: "Okay. I'll take you to see whatever you want to see."
The mercenary crossed his arms and said, "That's right. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
Sur once again wanted to use his tail to whip the god in front of him away.
Many gods follow their own way. The God of Evolution's personality is unbearable even for the other gods. It's hard to believe that the God of Wisdom has always been willing to partner with him.
"How did you and the God of Wisdom come to the mortal world?" Sur asked as he led the way.
The mercenary and the God of Wisdom walked side by side, pointing and commenting on the mundane things in the city with great interest.
Hearing this, the mercenary laughed out loud: "Didn't I just say that? The God of Wisdom and I have joined the Outer Gods and distorted the rules."
Su Er: “…”
He might as well whip this god away with one blow of his tail.
