“Shao Qing, you should have some guesses in your mind about what immortals and fairies are, right?” Xiao Jingsan spread out his hands. He was wearing a robe that looked like clouds and mist, like a jade tree brushed by the wind or a beautiful bud wrapped in snow. He really had the temperament of an immortal.
Su Mingan looked at the fairies around him, and he suddenly realized that the aura of these fairies was not so awe-inspiring, but just the temperament of ordinary people. It was Su Mingan and others' admiration for Penglai Fairy Island that made them feel like they believed in these fairies.
In other words, Xiao Jingsan is doing the same thing as the gods in the world today - making people spontaneously develop belief in immortals.
There are no immortals in this world. Only when many people believe in Him can He become a real immortal.
God is the product of human beliefs and expectations.
Once Su Mingan discovers that there is nothing worthy of awe about these immortals, the halo around them will naturally disappear, and he will no longer be able to feel the urge to worship them.
"Xiao Jingsan, I do understand." Su Mingan said, "I found it strange at the beginning. Obviously, 'Louyue Kingdom' is just an ancient style game. Even my fifth-level strength can defeat all opponents in the world. Why is there an ultra-standard 'Penglai Fairy Island' setting? Now I realize that this is your 'God-making Plan'."
"You made up the legend of Penglai Fairy Island and built an ordinary island to look like a fairy island. You put on clothes that looked like those of a fairy, you gilded yourself, and gave yourself the title of 'fairy'."
"You colluded with the Louyue royal family, causing them to constantly release fictitious stories about immortals, so that the common people would yearn to seek immortality. You used tempting words such as immortality and power as bait, spreading rumors among the people, making people fear immortals. Even though they have never actually seen an immortal."
"Once everyone truly believes that you are an immortal, you will truly become the 'immortal' that you have created."
"——Amid worldly rumors and yearnings, you gradually changed from an 'apple' to a 'pear'."
Mo Yan was shocked: "Brother is so smart! You can even think of this!"
The corner of Su Mingan's mouth twitched. Isn't this kind of reasoning very normal?
Seeing the emotions sparkling in Mo Yan's eyes, Su Mingan nodded and said "hmm".
After listening to this, Xiao Jingsan sighed, "Excellent. You have deduced almost all of my actions. Shao Qing, people are so stupid - any event, no matter how outrageous or absurd it is, as long as enough people spread it and believe it, it will become the 'truth' that is set in stone in the eyes of the world."
Su Mingan said calmly: "There is no God in this world. It is people's vision that makes a person become a 'God' in the end."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingsan clapped his hands and laughed, "That's right. Just like the first player?"
He clapped his hands, and the fairies around him gradually gathered around, blocking the way of Su Mingan and others.
Now, Su Mingan and others have seen the true nature of these fairies - they are not fairies with ethereal auras, but ordinary humans. They wear white clothes and skirts and put on some cold makeup like fairies. It is obviously just cosplay, but under the influence of the "collective unconscious" and the spirit of awe for fairies, people will subconsciously recognize that these people are real fairies.
Mo Yan took a look at the fairy who had led them before, and he was shocked - the fairy's face had many wrinkles and pimples. When he saw it before, the fairy's face was still as smooth as jade.
"We were just... affected by the collective unconscious." Mo Yan murmured.
He finally realized the horror of the word "recognition". In this world, as long as you recognize, you will be confused and you can only see what you want to see.
The fairy didn't actually stay young forever, but Mo Yan thought she was a fairy from Penglai Island at the beginning, so he could only see her perfect face. Now that Mo Yan realized she was not a fairy, he could see her true face with acne all over it.
…It turns out to be like this.
The feeling of this truth being revealed made Mo Yan break out in a cold sweat and tremble all over. A sense of fear ran up his spine and filled his brain.
What you see is not true, what you hear is not true.
Once deceived, you will be unaware of your own stupidity until the truth is revealed.
——When an apple looks like a pear, society also perceives it as a pear, and most people say it is a pear when they see it, then it will really become a pear.
This change is real.
Su Mingan finally realized the difficulty of this copy. What you see may not be true, and what you hear may not be true.
"But you only guessed half right." Xiao Jingsan said with a smile.
"Half?" Su Ming'an felt a sense of crisis in his heart. He thought Xiao Jingsan might be about to take action: "Xiao Jingsan, you have to pay attention to the situation in the present world."
Su Mingan's words were hinting at - Xiao Jingsan, I am a member of the Old Church, and now you want to attack me in the game?
However, Xiao Jingsan just shook his head: "You may have misunderstood. I am not the Xiao Jingsan in the present world."
……Um?
Su Mingan understood - Xiao Jingsan meant that he was now an NPC in "Lou Yue Kingdom", not the Meng Xunjia Xiao Jingsan in the real world.
This is the game NPC acting on his own, not the real Xiao Jingsan possessing him!
"Let's go!" Su Ming'an summoned the mechanical roulette and jumped on it with Mo Yan. He already felt a very serious sense of crisis and didn't want to continue arguing with Xiao Jingsan.
