Chapter 759: There is no God in this world
To be honest, Hughes agreed with this idea from the bottom of his heart - what he believed in was power, not the gods themselves.
But the person who said this was the head of a religious group, and it seems that the five major churches also hold the same idea?
Thinking back to what Jules said, that the church did not believe in God, he always felt a sense of incongruity.
There are also many churches on Blue Star. Almost all of them will designate one or a group of gods to worship, and few directly believe in power itself.
In this world, almost all churches have unanimously abandoned their belief in God. Why?
Xiusi suddenly remembered something and opened the letter again.
"The Church of Poseidon believed in God. That's why they perished."
This was mentioned casually by Jules.
Why is belief in God juxtaposed with destruction? Is there any connection between the two?
"You... no, all churches don't believe in gods?"
Chloe was clearly hesitant. After a moment's hesitation, she replied, "I seem to have heard that some small religious sects have this unique hobby. That's quite rare."
"So, in your mind, what kind of existence is God?"
"Good stuff, very valuable resources, very powerful power, but unfortunately there is no way to communicate."
Xiu Si was stunned for a few seconds before he suddenly realized: "You are talking about evil gods like the Moth Lord, right? If we can't communicate, then that can't be an evil god or an outer god. I'm talking about gods."
"Aren't gods referring to evil gods? Outer gods are actually a type of evil god, but they may not bring as much pollution and are much less dangerous."
"Could it be that the gods you're talking about are other beings?"
This time, Xiu Si was completely stunned.
He suddenly felt that he knew nothing about this world.
He has traveled to this world for so long and has dealt with so many churches. Now he is told that there are no gods in this world, only evil gods?
What a joke!
But when he thought about it carefully, Zeus really couldn't remember hearing anyone mention the gods.
Even if it is the sea god, people only fear his power, not his existence itself.
Now thinking back, it seems to be true. He locked the sea god in the furnace as fuel because he was originally from the Blue Star and had no reverence for the gods.
But his subordinates did not have much objection and just carried out the order directly.
He subconsciously ignored this point. In fact, this is extremely wrong. Beliefs are not so easy to change. Whether giving up faith or embracing faith, it should be accompanied by a huge price.
Even the existence of the Banshee took people a long time to get used to. There was no reason to suddenly give up faith in the gods.
Zeus felt a little confused for a moment, as if he had seen cognitive interference for the first time. How many secrets did this world hide?
"Um, are you okay? Is there something wrong with what I just said?"
Hughes shook his head: "No, the problem is this world."
『.』
"By the way, do you know what is above the extraordinary?" Xius suddenly spoke.
"Extraordinary. Above?"
"Yes, a power above the extraordinary, a power more powerful than the extraordinary."
"[Named Ones] are much stronger than Transcendents, and there are even higher-level Transcendents, such as Brother Keschi, a second-level Transcendent."
"Brother Keschi is a second-level transcendent?" Xius was a little surprised, and then he showed a look of sudden realization.
Brother Keschi had been in Castres the whole time, but he was almost like a statue, barely able to move.
Being able to only communicate in very simple ways occasionally was indeed consistent with the characteristics of the high-level transcendents that Beatrice had told him before.
"He is [Cocoon]?"
"Oh, you actually know this name. Did Beatrice tell you? Or Nora? Never mind. He is indeed the Cocoon. I am able to exist now because I have deposited my soul with him. The diary is actually just a vehicle for me to communicate with you, just like, just like..."
“Like a cell phone.”
"What is a mobile phone?"
Xius didn't answer, but continued to ask, "What about above the second-level extraordinary beings? Isn't there a third-level one? Or some other stronger existence?"
"Level 3? How is that possible?"
"Even second-level transcendents cannot exist stably in the present world. Their true bodies are near the Three-Pointed Gate, and they can hardly escape the Sea of Unconsciousness. How can there be any higher existence?"
"The Three-Pointed Gate!" Zeus's eyes lit up. This sounded like some kind of boundary. Could it be that this world had a mechanism similar to the ascension mechanism for immortal cultivators?
"What's on the other side of the Three-Pointed Gate?"
"What do you mean by 'opposite'? There's no opposite to the Three-Pointed Gate."
"Why not? If it's a door, there should be a way to open it, right?"
"It's just called a door; there's no actual opening. It's just a landmark used to describe the deepest part of the Sea of Unconsciousness. I know you're probably wondering what lies beneath the Sea of Unconsciousness, and whether there's anything higher than the Sea of Unconsciousness."
Chloe finished speaking and continued without waiting for Hughes to speak:
"Don't ask anymore. No, there's no such thing. Transcendents are already the most powerful force in the world. Evil Gods are more like some kind of disaster, a phenomenon similar to storms and earthquakes. It's not like a Transcendent works hard to become stronger and then suddenly becomes an Evil God!"
Xius pursed his lips and said unwillingly: "I remember you said that extraordinary people will lose control."
"Yes, losing control will turn you into a monster, but monsters are not evil gods. Evil gods and the extraordinary have little connection. There is a limit to becoming stronger. There is nothing above the extraordinary."
This made Xiu Si silent.
Indeed, he always felt that there should be such a thing as a "God" in this world. After learning that there was only an evil god, he was unwilling to accept it and fantasized that a sufficiently powerful extraordinary person might become a god.
Now it seems that he may have thought too much. As a time traveler, his habitual thinking has influenced him. He always feels that it is strange to have a church but no gods.
This world is inherently strange.
Comforting himself in this way, Xiusi was about to accept it, but suddenly he felt something was wrong.
He seemed to have overlooked something.
Xius frowned and thought for a long time, then suddenly laughed.
How could he have forgotten himself? If the extraordinary were the pinnacle of this world, then what was the existence of the Golden Throne and the Hall?
"What are you laughing at?" Chloe asked curiously. "Have you come up with any weird questions? Feel free to ask them!"
It can be seen that she is also interested in exploring the extraordinary.
"There is indeed a question - since the second-level extraordinary person is not a continuation of the ordinary extraordinary person, why is it called the second-level extraordinary person?"
"Could it be that the Three-Pointed Gate is actually blocked?"
