Chapter 409 Who stipulates that you can only believe in one god?
"No, no! No!"
Wanyan covered her ears and screamed, the collapse of her faith making her almost crazy at the moment.
She stumbled to her feet, her eyes were bloodshot, and her originally tied hair had become a mess. She shook her body and pointed at Zhongli and roared, her voice sharp and harsh:
"That's not the case. The Salt Demon God was killed by Morax, how could it be killed by her people! Lie to me! You are all lying to me! You want to shake my faith in the Salt Demon God! You are all
Together!"
"She's so pitiful." Pamon couldn't stand it anymore.
"This truth is too cruel." Sora sighed.
"Poor ass!"
Jiang Bai poured a pot of water directly on Wan Yan's forehead, "The emperor was scolded by her all the way, so the emperor is pitiful!"
After being doused with cold water, Wan Yan finally woke up from her long dream and sat on the ground blankly.
There was no focus in her eyes, and they were gray and dull. The things she had persisted in for so many years were like a joke, which made her lose all her energy. She no longer had any passion when she accused the Rock King.
"Xiaobai." Zhongli stopped him from stimulating further and shook his head at him.
"The Rock King Emperor doesn't care what people think of him. Whether it is the Demon God of Salt or the Rock King Emperor, they have all passed away. It is not a good thing to believe in a dead god."
Jiang Bai, who wanted to continue scolding, muttered unwillingly, "The emperor doesn't care because he doesn't care, but I do."
"And I think what you said is wrong, Master. I think it is not a bad thing to believe in a dead god."
Jiang Bai corrected his mistakes very seriously:
"For me, the so-called faith is, in the final analysis, a wish for a better life.
"The emperor has passed away. If the people of Liyue encounter difficulties again, they will not hope that the emperor will appear to help them calm down the disaster. They will still pray to the emperor and ask for his blessings, but they will only simply seek peace of mind, not the truth.
They thought that the emperor would appear to help them.
"When the people of Liyue gradually adapt to the passing of the emperor, Emperor Yanwang will become a symbol of faith like the wind god of Mondstadt, instead of a god who appears every year to guide their development."
Jiang Bai couldn't help but think of Mond.
The God of Wind seems to be absent, but he is everywhere in Mondstadt.
Wendy said that she was weak because she gave up her rule over Mondstadt, but if faith is the source of power, then Wendy is undoubtedly very strong.
After all, the people of the Kingdom of Wind have very pure faith in the Wind God, which has not appeared for thousands of years. They practice the freedom of wind and turn the Wind God into a symbol of belief.
This belief is not mixed with many benefits, but is a simpler prayer and blessing.
And pure things often bring stronger power.
Zhongli looked at this from a god's perspective, but from Jiang Bai's perspective, it was a completely different perspective.
Seeing that Zhong Li was listening seriously, Jiang Bai continued: "It's not that faith will disappear when gods die. On the contrary, when gods die, faith will become purer."
There is no god in Jiang Bai's hometown, so he directly substituted the environment in which he originally lived.
Although there are no real gods there, there are many man-made gods. People give these gods various powers, whether they create the world, destroy the world, make people rich, or bring about marriage.
But in the final analysis, these are just artificial symbols of belief.
Until the destruction of that world, these created gods never appeared.
But does this affect faith?
No!
Who would resist bowing to the God of Wealth when they see him?
But Emperor Yanwang is different. Emperor Yanwang is different from all the gods Jiang Bai knows.
The people of Liyue revere him and believe in him because of what he has done, rather than because of his own power.
Even if He has died, human memory will not disappear, His achievements will not be erased, and faith will naturally not disappear.
And how can faith, a symbol of belief, be a bad thing?
Once upon a time, the people of Liyue still had the idea of letting the omnipotent Prince Yan fulfill their wishes, but after the emperor passed away, their faith was just faith, and they no longer really wanted anything from the emperor.
After listening to Jiang Bai's opinion, Zhong Li thought about it carefully and said, "Based on common rationality, your words make sense."
Indeed, the content seen is very different from different angles.
As a god, Zhongli lives as a human, but his essence is still that of a god.
God's perspective is definitely different from that of humans.
From his perspective, he is considering things that are hundreds of years, millennia, or even beyond.
There will be a second rock god in Liyue, and when the second rock god appears, where will these people who believe in the lost rock king go?
For Jiang Bai, Zhongli was limited by his inherent thinking.
Who stipulates that you can only believe in one god?
"It does sound reasonable." Paimeng looked at him in surprise as if he had gotten to know Jiang Bai again.
Jiang Bai corrected her statement, "It doesn't make sense, it makes a lot of sense!"
"What do you think?" Jiang Bai looked at Kong.
As an outsider, Sora's views are quite constructive.
Kong nodded temporarily, "It does make sense."
Zhong Li saw Jiang Bai's expression full of relief, "Bringing you here is indeed the right decision."
Yes, who stipulates that you can only believe in one god?
Jiang Bai felt like he was floating after being praised by Zhongli.
He quickly coughed and stabilized himself.
He looked at Wan Yan, who was soaked all over and looked ashen as if she had lost her faith, and he was not in the mood to argue with her.
"The faults of your ancestors are your ancestors' fault, not your fault. Although their behavior is shameful, without them, you would not be where you are now. As the younger generation, you must accept and recognize the faults of your predecessors.
And the pain mixed between ancestors and faith is the punishment that the Demon God of Salt will give you a thousand years after his death."
Wanyan's eyes moved.
"Is it punishment?"
Seeing her reaction, Jiang Bai pointed at these salt sculptures and continued: "If you want to feel better, you don't have to regard these people as ancestors, but this is just deceiving yourself."
Wan Yan turned her head to look at the statue that was still holding the sword, and her eyes regained some agility.
"No, they are my ancestors. If it weren't for them, there would be no tribe of mine today."
"I didn't understand before why the elders didn't tell me how the Salt Demon God died. Every time I mentioned this, I kept silent and looked painful.
"At that time, I thought it was because we lived in the territory of our enemies. We knew clearly that the King of Rocks had assassinated the Demon God of Salt, but we had to accept his false kindness and it was painful."
"It turns out that we ourselves are the murderers who killed the Salt Demon God"
"It turns out that every generation of us who dare not forget our past is trying to atone for our sins."
