Chapter 436: Darkness doesn’t understand and is puzzled by his fellow tribesmen
The gods' gaze slowly shifted from the murderous Yin Xiu to Ye Tianxuan behind him.
After noticing this inconspicuous human, the God of Longevity approached him with a puzzled look, "Why is your lifespan so strange? You are a human being."
Ye Tianxuan smiled and waved his hands, "This is a long story, I won't go into details."
"Instead, I want to hear the reasons why you suddenly disappeared from your respective cities. Do you know what happened to your cities after God disappeared?"
Faced with Ye Tianxuan's question, the gods fell silent.
"We certainly know what happens to the city after God disappears."
"That's the result we want."
"Humans are so tiny, with such a short lifespan, that a large number of them die without us noticing. To us, those who disappear are like grains of sand in the desert, not worth noting."
"Will you remember that flower in the sea of flowers you once passed by that has now rotted in the mud?"
"You don't remember, right? Because humans treat us just like you treat flowers and plants. Every flower is incredibly similar, yet they wither and grow quickly. Even if this batch of flowers dies because they lack our care, new ones will soon bloom."
The gods described the suffering happening in all the cities now very simply. Perhaps their eyes were looking at a wider world, the cycle of life, or endless time.
But the smile on Ye Tianxuan's face disappeared silently.
"Flowers won't pray to me, nor will they seek my help. Humans are very different from flowers." Ye Tianxuan stared at the four gods intently. "Lin allowed you to come into contact with humans, chose humans as high priests, and transformed into humans, not to let you despise human life with this human attitude."
"To those people in the city, you are gods who can save the world. You can save them, but you deliberately abandon them. Why?"
Facing the stern questioning of this insignificant human, the four gods raised their heads in aloof pride. "Humanity will eventually die. We simply started this cycle prematurely. The disappearance of the believers in the four cities is of no concern to us. It's those high priests whom we truly wish to see die..."
When God mentioned this, Ye Tianxuan already understood.
The gods could not kill the high priests, but the death of the high priests was connected with the gods. In short, the gods disappeared on purpose, wanting to cause chaos in the four major cities, wanting the high priests to die in the chaos, and wanting their long lives to come to an end.
Not to mention other cities, even the high priest of Lifefall City, a force that is difficult to kill, gradually gave up on himself and waited for his own death under the endless exploitation of the citizens.
If they had not appeared, judging from the results, the gods did it. The high priests of each city were looking forward to the return of the gods, while being pushed to death bit by bit by the gods.
The truth is so cruel to those high priests.
They are completely unaware of this and still hope for God's return, suffering just like those believers, trying to hope for a future.
Hearing God's answer, even Zhong Mu gritted his teeth, "When you were chosen as the high priests, you gave them hope! Now it's you who are bringing them despair! You only care about your own death and don't consider the feelings of the high priests at all.
"Not just believers and high priests, but everyone in your eyes is a being that can be given or taken away. A true God is not such a selfish being. You are all false gods!"
Before they came here, every city they passed through was a place where countless believers prayed and pleaded, full of hope for God. Even in such a chaotic situation, everyone still firmly believed that God would not abandon them, and they would not abandon God, and they never gave up the faith in their hearts.
Some places have become places of purgatory because of God's indifference.
All cities are like toys in God's sight, to be discarded at will, and so are all lives.
Thinking of the high priests of all the cities, Zhong Mu was furious. He never thought that all this was caused by God forcing the high priests to die.
Facing the angry gaze, God remained calm, "That's because you don't understand. If we want to free them, we can only give them up. We gave them hope, so why can't we give them despair?"
"In this silent place, we have lost our beloved gods. All that is left for us is an endless loneliness. If we want to disappear, we must sacrifice the high priestess. Their lives are our lives. From the moment they are bound, they no longer belong to themselves, but to us."
"Even if you're angry, it won't help. This is the relationship between God and the high priest. Only if they die can we die."
Ye Tianxuan shook his head helplessly. It seemed that he could no longer communicate with the four gods.
God thought they were condemning them for causing the death of the high priest and condemning their indifference.
But they were completely unaware that if they had not suddenly disappeared, but instead talked and asked questions with the high priests, the pain they suffered would not have reached this extent.
The reason for all this stems from the gods' coldness and indifference to the lives of the high priests.
Perhaps it is true as Lin said, they have been changed and are no longer the gentle and loving gods in the eyes of the high priest.
"Okay, I don't have anything else to ask." Ye Tianxuan waved his hand and turned to walk towards the cabin. "Thank you for your help, Great Killing God. I don't want to get involved in backbreaking work. Things like killing gods should be left to killing gods."
Zhong Mu looked at Yin Xiu, then at Li Mo, and then turned his gaze to the Four Great Gods. Although he felt that he could not help much in front of such powerful gods, he still asked in a low voice: "Brother Xiu, if there is anything I can help with, remember to call me, I will definitely come."
As he said that, he grabbed Muhe, turned around and trotted to the door of the wooden house, and put Muhe in a safe place.
The battle between gods is not something that ordinary people like them can participate in. The origin of everything is Li Mo who was born here, and the gods' murderous intentions are mostly directed at Li Mo. This is a matter between the two of them, and those of them who come along by the way can't help much.
Facing the gods who were emitting hostility towards him, Li Mo smiled innocently, "Aren't we of the same race? Why do you hate me?"
He was really looking forward to meeting the gods here. He thought they were just a group of black creatures crawling around. He was ready to turn into black and join in the crawling. But when he came here, he saw so many complete and beautiful human figures, as well as their extremely loyal believers.
Li Mo felt that although he and they were of the same race, the treatment they received was very different.
He tried for a long time but failed to transform his body into a human form to accompany Yin Xiu. He was trapped in the seal and had no loyal and loving believers.
It was obvious that the gods here easily possessed all these, yet they were so hostile towards a poor, dark-skinned man like him.
Heiqiqi didn't understand and was puzzled by his fellow tribesmen.
