What is God? This is a good question. Different people may have different answers, but most of them find it difficult to answer this question completely.
After all, different worlds have different understandings of God, and according to different religious beliefs, they also have different identification standards for God.
For example, in Japan, if something remains for a hundred years and becomes a spirit, it can be considered a god, and it is called a fusangshin.
As for the number of mountain gods, river gods and the like, there are countless gods. It is precisely because of this that there are so-called eight million Tianjin gods.
In China, the standards for identifying gods are more formal, but there are also many kinds of monsters, ghosts, and snake gods, because for China, as long as you can be worshiped and enjoy the four seasons of incense and blood, you can be considered a god.
It's just that without the canonization of Zhengshuo from Heaven, he will always be just a wild god, without being orthodox.
During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Taoists cut down mountains and destroyed temples, but they killed a number of these unorthodox mountain and wild hairy gods.
But even if they are canonized by heaven, strictly speaking, such gods cannot be regarded as real gods, because they only have one god's name, and their abilities, strength, and personality cannot be regarded as gods in the true sense.
Otherwise, in various storybooks and legends, the land of the mountain gods would not be reduced to a domestic servant being ordered around by strong men from all walks of life.
Those who can truly be called gods in China are actually those powerful beings born between heaven and earth. They do not need to be canonized by the heavens, and they can still be called great gods. They may not care about any specific affairs, or even have been hidden in mythology.
Behind the legend, their existence is still the foundation and pillar supporting the entire world.
This distinction is roughly the difference between the God of Rules and the God of Faith. The former cannot even be regarded as having a specific personality and image, but is more of the simple worship of the heaven, earth, mountains, rivers, sun and moon by ancient ancestors, while the latter is a kind of spiritual worship.
.
The Western world also believed in regular gods at the beginning, such as the ancient Egyptian gods, the Greek gods and the Nordic gods. The gods at the beginning of the myths of these gods also had no specific jurisdiction and did not need to be worshiped by believers.
But when humans and civilization emerged, the newly born gods needed to be worshiped, sacrificed, and even needed to bring disasters to mortals to demonstrate their existence.
To put it in a more online way, the real God is incredibly powerful and does not require worship or sacrifice. Whether you believe it or not, He is there.
The false gods may not necessarily have strong power, but they require you to believe in them devoutly and offer sacrifices on time. If you make any mistakes, they will impose divine punishments.
If classified according to this standard, Chen Mo should undoubtedly belong to the latter "false god".
Because the entire empire worshiped him as the emperor, the imperial official even issued a decree stipulating a complete set of rituals for worshiping him. It also established various festivals related to him and established them in legal form so that the people of the empire could
Be able to worship on time at four o'clock and eight festivals.
From this point of view, Chen Mo is indeed a believer in God, and he has indeed taken the path of belief in gods. This is similar to his cousin's family who forcibly dismantles the rules of the world and uses rules to cast gods.
Essential difference.
But one thing Chen Mo has that is better than his cousin is that he is the emperor of an empire, the emperor of a huge multiverse empire that spans dozens of worlds. All the subjects of the entire empire are his believers. This huge belief is condensed
The power that comes out is not something that the rules god of a certain world can match.
After all, the difference in size between one world and ten worlds is enough to cause a qualitative change.
However, for the gods themselves, the differences are not that big. Whether they are gods of rules or gods of faith, they are different from mortals from the moment they become gods. They have become higher-dimensional beings.
Strength or weakness is a contrast between gods and gods, not a comparison between gods and mortals.
For beings who truly become gods, even the weakest gods are infinitely more powerful than mortals.
Therefore, things that are difficult for mortals are just a piece of cake for gods.
It was as if Grindelwald was still worrying about how to overthrow the existing old order in the magical world, let the entire magical world reappear in front of Muggles, and break the law of secrecy. Chen Mo only needed one thought to do this.
thing.
But...he didn't do that.
"Like I said, this world is too boring. Even if I forcefully break the barrier between the magical world and the mortal world, it will only make this boring world slightly less boring." Chen Mo's hand appeared.
A golden wine glass, but it looks very simple, as if it is just carved out of wood, and it is filled with red wine. It looks ordinary, but it exudes an indescribable divine brilliance.
.
Chen Mo drank the fragrant red wine in the cup, and then continued: "I asked you to cooperate to make the world more interesting. It would be too boring if I did it myself, so I can do it for you."
You provide convenience and help, but you will not intervene personally. As for the rest..."
Having said this, Chen Mo put down the wine glass in his hand, pushed it in front of Grindelwald, and motioned for him to pick up the glass.
The wine glass was carefully picked up by Grindelwald. He could sense that it was a very powerful strange object.
Moreover, Grindelwald also noticed that even though Chen Mo had been drinking from this wine glass just now, the wine in the wine glass was not missing at all, and even if he tilted the wine glass, the wine inside would not spill out.
Although it is not certain what kind of cup this is and what is special about it, it is by no means just a wine glass.
"This is the Holy Grail, the legendary one." Chen Mo saw Grindelwald looking at the wine glass in his hand, so he took the initiative to explain: "Don't ask me why it is in my hand, and don't ask me why it is in my hand.
Is it true? I can only tell you that it has the power to heal everything. As long as you drink the wine in the cup, it can heal all physical pain. It will be effective as long as you are alive.
And this Holy Grail has a powerful blessing, and the person who owns it will not be defeated. For wizards, it has another effect, that is, it can help you resist all black magic attacks, and the wine can also guarantee
You are always full of energy.”
After listening to Chen Mo's introduction, Grindelwald couldn't help but his eyes lit up. This is really a good thing.
Even ignoring the powerful fame and other blessings of the legendary Holy Grail, the powerful effect of the cup itself is amazing enough.
It is even more powerful than the Three Hallows of Death that have been legendary in the magic world.
After all, among the Three Deathly Hallows, except for the Elder Wand, which is a powerful wand, the other two are not intuitively powerful.
Grindelwald, who possesses the Elder Wand, knows the power of the Three Deathly Hallows, but he feels that if he were asked to choose between the Three Hallows and the Holy Grail, he would probably choose this cup.
If this cup is in Dumbledore's hands, even if he has all the Three Deathly Hallows, he can't defeat him, right?
This thought came to Grindelwald's mind, but he quickly pushed it out of his mind. Compared with such an unlikely event, it was more important to focus on the present.
He had not forgotten that this powerful Holy Grail was just a cup that Chen Mo casually took out to drink from. This being who was more powerful than he imagined was not a benevolent god, but a god who was waiting for his performance to please him.
existence.
"What do you want me to do with it?" Grindelwald tentatively asked Chen Mo. Perhaps to this being, it was just a cup, but Grindelwald needed to confirm his will.
Chen Mo shrugged indifferently, and took out another cup from the void. This cup was obviously much more gorgeous, and the wine inside was also completely different. It seemed to be changing all the time, not fixed.
A sort of.
"This is the wine cup of Dionysus, the god of wine. Its function is a little simpler than the Holy Grail, that is, the person holding this wine cup can use the power of the wine god." Chen Mo did not answer Grindelwald's question, but just picked up the cup.
This wine glass continued to taste the wine: "I still have many wine glasses of this level, such as the wine glass of Hera, the glass of Odin drinking from the fountain of wisdom... These things are just wine glasses to me, if you can
Let me find it interesting, you can say whatever you want."
Grindelwald understood what Chen Mo meant. Since powerful strange objects of this level are just ordinary drinking utensils in this person's eyes, it is obvious that he does not care how he uses this Holy Grail. Then he has a lot to control.
of space.
Of course, the premise is that you must make this great being feel happy, otherwise, I am afraid that what awaits you will not be a reward.
Grindelwald has not forgotten the sudden appearance of a cloaked giant wielding a giant scythe when he encountered Chen Mo. That was the closest he felt to death.
Chen Mo seemed to have read his thoughts and just raised his hand to make a gesture. The cloaked giant who had appeared before appeared again. This time he did not put the scythe on Grindelwald's neck, but stood quietly.
aside.
Only then could Grindelwald take a closer look at this giant and get a glimpse of his whole face.
This was a giant that was at least three meters tall. Standing in the bar box, his head almost reached the ceiling.
The giant was wearing a bone-white armor that looked thick and sturdy. Grindelwald even doubted whether the spells he fired could penetrate such thick armor and cause damage to the giant's body.
As for the cloak that covered the giant's body and the giant scythe that was almost taller than the giant's body, the impact was not as strong as the giant's own.
"This is one of my subordinates. He is proficient in various war skills such as stealth, concealment, and killing. He will stay with you temporarily. If there is anything inconvenient to do, you can ask him to do it for you, or you can notify me through him."
Chen Mo explained briefly and then stood up: "Behave well, Mr. Grindelwald. As long as you let me see interesting things, I will not be stingy with my rewards. I can help you with anything you hope for."
Realization, even if it means coming back to life.”
After saying that, Chen Mo disappeared from the box as if he melted into the water, leaving only the giant beside him and two sacred wine glasses on the table.
Grindelwald looked at the two wine glasses, then glanced at the giant beside him, hesitated for a moment and then asked: "What's your name?"
————————————————
After leaving the bar, Chen Mo came to New York's Central Park, where Newt and Tina were taking Xiao Yixi to capture the magical animals that had escaped.
It must be said that the people who originally proposed the construction of Central Park were very thoughtful and creative, and successive generations of governors have also been working hard to maintain this oasis in the steel jungle.
It takes courage and decision-making to let out such a large piece of green space in the most prosperous city in the world. After all, even if only a small part of such a large piece of open space is developed, it can be sold in New York, where land is at a premium.
At a sky-high price.
However, since the establishment of this park, successive New York City governors have only expanded and not reduced the park, leaving only this piece of green that can be called a wonder in New York City.
However, it is winter now, and the vitality of the entire park is somewhat withered. The water surface is also covered with a thick layer of ice, which can allow a poisonous horned beast that is stronger than a rhinoceros to gallop on the ice without breaking at all.
Looking at Xiao Yixi who was riding on the back of the poisonous horned beast and trying to tame this big beast, Chen Mo couldn't help but chuckle.
From Chen Mo's perspective, of course, we can see Newt wearing a simple protective suit and Tina holding Newt's suitcase. Obviously, they are planning to follow the habits of the poisonous horned beast that Newt is familiar with, and Newt is responsible for attracting them.
Poison Horned Beast, and then Tina waited for an opportunity to shut it back into the box.
However, the two of them did not expect that the quiet and cute little girl Yi Xi would be so brave and jump on the back of the poisonous horned beast, and even tried to subdue it.
The poison horn is a large magical animal. The big horn on its head is similar to a rhinoceros horn. It is its main attack weapon. When it runs, its power is not something that a wizard can easily face.
In fact, the danger level of poison horns is also ranked among the animals in Newt's suitcase, second only to several particularly dangerous guys.
Not to mention a little girl like Xiao Yixi, even Newt himself would not dare to jump on the back of a poisonous horned beast and ride on it to subdue a poisonous horned beast.
But obviously, for Xiao Yixi, this is about the same as the rocking music in the amusement park, and it does not make her feel the slightest bit of danger.
On the contrary, it will only make the little girl feel excited and want to have more fun.
In fact, even basilisks and flying dragons, which are deadly and dangerous to wizards, are no more intimidating to Xiao Yixi than her two pet cats.
So after Xiao Yixi used the strange power brought by the dragon's bloodline, this poisonous horned beast, which was comparable to a giant rhinoceros, was pushed into the ice from its back, and it was stuck under the ice with only its butt exposed.
outside.
By the way, the two cats are a blue dragon that possesses the medium power of storm godhead, and the other is Chen Yu's magic pet that can share his godhead.
