The church, or rather the sanctuary of Ningfeng, fell silent after he finished speaking.
Thoughts surged through the two women's minds as they suddenly received a flood of information, tearing apart the tranquility of their hearts like a storm.
To be an enemy of God.
Such words, such awareness...
"When I was questioning Rhodes earlier, I was actually reflecting on a question myself."
Ning Feng's tone remained relaxed, as if he were simply stating something perfectly natural, and he remarked with a sigh:
"What exactly is a Watcher? Or rather, what does it take to be a Watcher?"
Ning Feng gently returned the handshake, telling Xilin and Jiang Wan not to be too nervous, and said in a relaxed manner:
"Although we've heard this question many times, it seems we still haven't reached a conclusion."
The Watchers are the world’s largest organization of awakened beings, a terrifying force that occupies the strongest throne with absolute military superiority, but they have never had any intention of openly dominating the world.
Why is that?
They set up teleportation beacons in every corner of the world, ready to switch to wartime mode at any time, and were constantly training their troops.
What is it for?
Is it really just as it sounds, that it's all for the sake of protecting this beautiful world that belongs to humankind?
"But if we observe carefully, we can understand the true intentions of the Watchers, since they have never actually hidden them."
Leading the two to the center of the sanctuary, Ning Feng looked up at the stained glass windows of the dome.
Through the stained glass that resembled a giant eye, Ning Feng looked up at the sky, recalling the dazzling, star-like figures he had once seen.
"The purpose of the Watchers, no... our purpose is actually very simple."
He said:
"We don't need gods; humans don't want such things."
This is the purpose that Watchers were founded for.
Some people work hard, wanting to become superior to others.
Some people work hard, hoping to rise above others who have none!
The Watchers, however, have even greater ambitions.
They want people to ascend... there is no more God!
Those cold-hearted, crazy, self-proclaimed great people, all of you get off the positions that don't belong to you!
Is it blasphemy?
Arrogant?
Perhaps this dream and ideal, which seems unattainable to superhuman beings or even other humans, is crazy and presumptuous, but the Watchers have never given up on this ideal.
Ever since the gods descended, this world has gone mad.
The sky no longer belongs to humankind, the world no longer belongs to humankind, and destiny no longer belongs to humankind.
In that dark age, humanity had nothing.
In that case, wouldn't it be better to make the world even crazier?
Since you want to take all of this away, then...
Why can't we take everything away from you?
"Therefore, in order to achieve this goal, we... must replace them."
Blasphemer?
We are not only blasphemers, but also usurpers of God.
"However, there is a prerequisite for achieving this goal: that we must actually have the resources to do so."
“Some of us will once again embark on the path of seeking divine power.”
Ning Feng looked at the two people's wide eyes, which were filled with all sorts of crazy information, and a smile appeared in his eyes as well.
That path is called "The Ascendant".
"It's okay if you don't understand now, we have plenty of time to explain slowly."
...
...
"We are going to... hold a deification ceremony."
"We must create a new god!"
Bang!
The tranquility of the sacred sanctuary was shattered by a tremendous noise, followed by angry shouts:
"No! Absolutely not!"
Dongdong!
Although his expression was hidden behind the mask, the way he waved his arm and slammed it on the table clearly showed his anger.
"Blasphemy!"
!
He glared at the person who had made that absurd suggestion and shouted at them:
"This is blasphemy against the gods!"
!
"If we really do that, how will we explain ourselves when the gods return?"
His roar and rhetorical questions did indeed make some of the agents around him, who were wavering, think things through.
"Moreover, even if someone were to be deified... who should hold that position? And how should their divine office be chosen?"
The believers are secondary; there are no contenders now, as all extraordinary beings can temporarily act as believers of that god.
However, there is one problem that cannot be avoided.
[Cleric]
This is a topic that the gods can never avoid, and it was also the most direct cause of the past wars between the gods.
Even the gods are not immune to worldly desires and cannot tolerate other gods vying for power. And now someone is actually proposing to support a new god?
Where does his power come from? How should the priesthood be decided? From which deity should flesh be taken?
These are problems that must be faced; there is no way to escape them.
Even if we take a step back and assume that the deification was successful, what will the gods do when they awaken and see the one who was forcibly deified?
"Then what do you suggest we do? Are we just going to wait like this forever? My lord, nobody knows when the gods will return!"
Even so, you cannot make such a decision!
...
The noise over there was fierce, but to the demons who didn't engage in such activities, it seemed utterly boring.
Still dressed in that classic aristocratic attire, the transformed Karan exudes a complex aura that blends elegance and madness, far removed from those conflicts.
Karan shrank back, coldly observing the reactions of the others.
"Ugh, how boring."
"They all looked tense, as if they were about to engage in a bloody battle with humans, but none of them were willing to be the first to do so."
The nail that sticks out gets hammered down. All supernatural beings know that humans will show no mercy when facing the first traitor, so they all try to avoid being the one who gets taken advantage of.
If you lose your life, you lose everything, so don't talk about ambition or anything like that.
Therefore, in order to avoid taking the initiative, they have all come up with outrageous suggestions such as "creating gods".
Her main purpose in attending this meeting was to observe the other side's forces while also seeking her own benefit.
A week passed, during which she never gave up on checking her body.
And she did indeed discover something unusual; there seemed to be something special inside her body.
Like fragments of a soul, but even more...noble?
She couldn't quite explain what it was, but intuitively she felt it wasn't something as simple as the soul.
After searching through a large number of ancient books, and even making an exception by using his own privileges to collect some books from other places, Kalan finally found a relatively close possibility in one of the books.
Divinity.
