What is God?

The power to conquer all things.

The One who controls the world.

Indescribably sublime.

God said, “Let there be light.”

The world shrouded in darkness is now left with only blazing white. Everything rises and falls in the light, warm and burning.

Thunder in the clouds, the sun in the sky, the boundless earth, the rising vapor, the roaring storm.

All lost in pure light.

…

Three days later.

Xu Xi brought Krisha to a new city called "Wage", which was the new residence chosen by Xu Xi.

In the newly purchased house, Krisa is checking to see if there is any other furniture that needs to be purchased.

Xu Xi was sitting in the soft chair in the living room.

Recalling the "Divine Punishment" three days ago.

"Unbelievable..."

"Should I say that he is worthy of being called a god? He was able to do such a thing so easily, destroying the monsters in Allenson City with one strike, and protecting the remaining soldiers at the same time."

"The topography centered on Allenson City has almost completely changed."

"How much strength did you use..."

"10%? No, maybe not even 1%."

Xu Xi closed his eyes in deep thought, holding in his hand a magic wand that was shattered beyond recognition.

On that day, the main target of the god's attack was the monsters, but his attack was too powerful. Even though they were far away, the fierce shock wave forced Xu Xi to reveal all his trump cards.

He cast dozens of level 7 spells in succession.

It was barely enough to offset the aftermath of the "light" falling to the ground.

Protected himself and the witch.

This experience was dangerous and terrible, but it was worth it. By witnessing the coming of God and the enthusiasm of the rescued soldiers, Xu Xi finally figured out the truth of the matter.

"Extra! Extra!"

Outside on the street, there were the sounds of newsboys shouting excitedly.

"The northern city of Allenson was invaded by monsters. Several large armies were defeated and Allenson City was nearly destroyed!"

"The great God of Light intervened and saved the survivors!"

"Extra! Extra!"

"The God of Light has sent down His grace!"

The shouts spread farther and farther, and more pedestrians noticed the news, hurriedly bought newspapers, and read it with curiosity.

They were saddened to see Allenson City invaded.

Seeing the human army being defeated, they looked terrified.

Seeing the God of Light coming to the world, their faces were filled with enthusiasm.

"Praise be to the great God of Light, praise be to the Lord of infinite radiance, may light last forever in the world, protecting the weak until death."

"Thank you for saving us once again!"

Believers of the God of Light sang praises on the spot.

People sighed and prayed, and the expressions on their faces gradually became pious.

The agitator burst into tears.

Even those who are not believers were inevitably affected by this fanatical atmosphere and silently uttered a few words of praise to the gods.

All all.

All of them were seen by Xu Xi.

He saw through the gods' plans.

"They actively created a situation where monsters invaded, and then sent the human army to their deaths, further highlighting the monsters' power and the urgency of the situation."

"In the end, the gods from high above took action, not only harvesting the faith of mankind, but also making mankind respond with awe."

Xu Xi pondered and sighed, "What a cruel method."

The gods' control over human psychology.

Apparently it has reached an extremely high level.

They know that if humans are allowed to live too comfortably, no one will believe in God.

Therefore, the gods take the initiative to create dangers and disasters, and then provide help to humans when they are struggling and desperate, acting as saviors.

In this way, people's faith can be harvested and the devotion and love of believers can be ensured.

I have to say.

This trick is indeed very effective.

Within Xu Xi's field of vision, many people have chosen to join the Church of God, wanting to feel the power of God more closely and become magicians who believe in God.

"Perhaps, this is also one of their purposes."

Xu Xi said.

The index finger tapped lightly on the armrest of the chair, producing a slight echo.

Faith mages and elemental mages.

Both can release magic, but have completely different paths.

The power of a mage comes from the god he believes in. The mage has as much power as the god bestows upon him.

Therefore, the highest point of this path is demigodhood, and there is no way to go further.

A follower cannot surpass his master.

This is how the world works.

But elemental mages are different. Mages of this faction observe the world, understand the truth, and can truly ignite the divine fire and uphold world authority.

The gods seemed unwilling to see new gods born, so they used various obscure methods to gradually promote the convenience of believing in mages and reduce the living space of elemental mages.

In this way.

The gods can then sit firmly on the clouds and overlook all the suffering beings.

"If that's the case, then you have to be more careful when you act next time," Xu Xi said softly.

He has an intuition.

In this magical world, he is very likely the most powerful elemental mage. If his strength continues to increase, he is likely to attract the attention of the gods.

That kind of result was not what Xu Xi wanted to see.

He didn't want to wake up and find that he, a mere great magician, had to face the siege of dozens or even hundreds of true gods.

I am fighting against God, is this true or false?

This scene was so ridiculous and despairing that Xu Xi didn't want to face it at all.

"Ignorance is also a kind of bliss."

Xu Xi stood up slowly, stretched on the spot, and looked through the window to see that the street outside was full of excited believers of God.

Believers believe that the gods love the world.

But in reality, the gods only love themselves.

Such lies, such a carefully woven deception, cannot be said to be bad.

People provide faith and gods provide strength. This is a mutually beneficial transaction.

Ninety-nine percent of people are destined not to become elemental mages. It would be a good thing if they could gain higher achievements from the gods through their fanatical faith.

If you want to know what the cost is.

That is, from time to time, you need to be afraid to prevent yourself from becoming a victim of a "miracle".

Like the city of Allenson this time, the death toll, including local citizens and supporting military soldiers, is close to one million, which is really sad.

"beep--"

"beep--"

There was a hissing sound of steam.

There was a light mist filling the new house.

Coming towards them was Krisa, who had started the steam equipment in the new house.

"Teacher, everything is ready and there is nothing missing."

"Thank you for your hard work, Krisha."

Looking at the girl with long silver-gray hair, Xu Xi subconsciously looked into those eyes. Just like last time, the only thing he could see in them was Xu Xi's own figure.

"Let's go, I'll cook today."

“Eh…?”

The witch was a little surprised, but still followed Xu Xi obediently.

As time goes by, home is no longer the home it once was, and the surrounding environment is completely unfamiliar.

But because there was a familiar figure in front of me.

So I don’t feel scared.

On the way to the kitchen, Krisha also heard the crazy shouts from the outside world, offering blessings to the gods.

She ignored him and followed closely the "God" that belonged to her.
