Chapter 402 I don’t know why Ye Shen is in such a hurry to leave
The people below understood everything and lamented the disappearance of the old gods, but they were not as sad and unable to accept it as the high priest, because the new gods had come and they were not without hope.
Only the high priest sat there in a daze, while the others had gradually accepted the existence of Ye Shen.
"Actually, I don't ask you to accept my existence. God is not something you must believe in." Ye Tianxuan squatted down and stared at the high priest with a lost face.
"Even if that god disappears, she is irreplaceable in your heart. The years spent with her cannot be forgotten. So you don't necessarily have to accept me as her replacement. You can always believe in your god and regard me as a tool to maintain your Changsheng City."
He said it lightly. Actually, it didn't matter to him. He was leaving anyway, and it would be inconvenient for him to leave as a god.
But in the eyes of the high priest, this was the supreme tolerance.
This god does not need believers. He unilaterally gives to the residents of this city without any faith or reward, and without any constraints from God. It is as if his appearance is just to save this city.
"Aren't you going to... become the god of Changsheng City?" The high priest was stunned, and she wiped her eyes with tears. At least she had never thought that there would be a city without gods, or even without the need for gods.
"I don't have that intention." Ye Tianxuan shook his head, reached out and touched the high priest's hair, and whispered: "The God of Changsheng City will always be the God of Immortality in your hearts. I have no intention of replacing her. I appear here just because I hope Changsheng City will not disappear."
"If even you, the believers connected to her, forget her, then God has truly disappeared. So remember your God and live well."
He stood up, looking down at the countless believers gathered below, and loudly declared, "The God of Changsheng City will always be in your hearts, and I am just a God passing through here. I will grant you the lifespan you need, and I will make Changsheng City exist forever, so that your disappeared God will live forever in your hearts, and you don't need to believe in me."
At this moment, his whole body exuded divinity, and his selfless and holy tolerance tolerated the meanness of many people in Changsheng City.
The day before, they hated this man of unknown origin to death and couldn't wait to welcome the old gods to drive him out, but at this moment, they began to waver again.
The old gods are gone and the new gods have come. The new gods are not only willing to accept their continued belief in the old gods, but will also selflessly dedicate their own lives to give them the strength to continue living.
If He is not God! Then what is God?
"Although the God of Immortality is indeed very important to us... I am also willing to believe in God Ye!" A group of people who had followed Ye Tianxuan early on rushed out at this moment. They held high the banner of God Ye, and the inspiring momentum made those who were wavering unable to help but change sides.
"The God of Immortality has been with us for many years and is an important god to us, but the God of Ye has brought us new life and is also a very important god. I can't choose the best one between them. The God of Immortality is good, and the God of Ye is also good..."
"I thought so too... I cannot forget our deceased god..."
When everyone was extremely confused, Ye Tianxuan slowly spoke.
"If you can't choose, you don't have to make a choice. I told you, you don't need to believe in me. If you have enough lifespan, you can survive here without the Immortal God. You can still survive without me.
"Whether or not there are gods isn't really important, right? Even if I leave tomorrow, you can just clean up Changsheng City and it will be back to normal. The existence or disappearance of gods isn't that important to you."
The gathered residents fell into a brief silence. In fact, if they thought about it carefully, the God had disappeared for so long, but Changsheng City still existed. The chaos that had emerged was still the pressure caused by their own anxiety after losing the God. Whether it was the people or the high priest, none of them accepted the disappearance of the God calmly. They relied on the return of the God to cause such chaos.
They had always been protected too well by God, so they were at a loss after losing God.
But the chaos caused by the arrival of Ye Shen was enough to make them independent.
They learned what is truly precious and what is not that important.
The gold coins of life span that people once wanted to bury are now everywhere, but the cheap materials squeezed out of them make them out of reach. Infinite life span is really not that important, it is better to live well every day.
"Can one really be saved without faith?" someone murmured.
Ye Tianxuan nodded in response, "Okay."
"Without paying any price?"
"right."
"You don't want anything?"
"don't want."
Faced with Ye Tianxuan's repeated affirmative answers, the people of Changsheng City were in a complicated situation. They were not used to receiving such unequal favors.
After a brief silence, the people of Changsheng City knelt down collectively and prayed as if they were facing a true god, "Thank you for your favor, Lord Ye. We will always remember you in our hearts."
"We will never forget the Immortal God, nor will we forget your salvation."
The public's attitude was already clear; Changsheng City had accepted Ye Tianxuan, and the only one whose attitude remained unclear was the High Priest.
"It seems you are indeed a true god." The high priest sat there dejectedly, staring at the people below and muttering, "God once told me that no matter one's status, as long as they engender respect and love in people's hearts, they are no different from God."
"I'm just passing by and want to help Changsheng City. I don't want to see this city, which could have gone a long way, destroyed just because the gods disappeared." Ye Tianxuan tried hard to keep smiling. "I don't want to be your god, nor will I replace your gods."
The high priest sighed softly and lowered his head, "I understand."
She had lost hope of waiting for God's return and could only choose to continue to be the high priest of Changsheng City and maintain the city.
Because only she, and only the people in this place, would remember their former god. If this place disappeared and she died, then the god she worshipped would truly disappear.
"Thank you... for saving this place." The high priest covered his face, sobbing and mumbling awkwardly.
Ye Tianxuan tried to keep smiling, "It's okay, today's summoning ceremony ends here, you go back and have a good rest, we will meet again tomorrow and let this city regain freedom."
The high priest responded hesitantly, and Ye Tianxuan waved his hand under the gaze of everyone and walked down the summoning platform.
The people wanted to rush forward to greet their savior, but just as they were about to go forward, they were stopped by a cold-faced man, "Master Ye has something to do and needs to leave for a while. You should go back and think carefully about your future lives."
They looked at Ye Shen's back with disappointment as he left under the support of two people.
I don’t know why Ye Shen is in such a hurry to leave. He hasn’t even had a good talk with me yet.
