Chapter 440 [Seizing the Godhead]
After Ares said this, Du Wei kept thinking.
What is the truth of history? The so-called gods in legends, those supreme beings, actually have these speechless secrets...
The hero who once "saved" humanity, who once defeated the powerful demon god with the "Spear of Longinus", humanity's strongest god of war, Ares, was in front of Du Wei at this moment.
That tone full of sadness and despair existed so vividly in front of Du Wei... This is God! The God of mankind?!
I see!
I see!!
The human world now only knows the "Goddess of Light". The goddess has become the only god worshiped by humans and the only dominant god in the world. However, the former male god Ares stayed in this place and was sealed away for thousands of years.
Year!
Du Wei thought for a while and slowly shook his head: "I still don't understand. Since... she plotted against you and imprisoned you here... But what about the Demon God? Why don't I see the Demon God here? The Demon God
Where have you gone?!"
After such a long talk, it seemed that the ten thousand years of sadness that had been trapped in Ares's heart had been vented a little, and his tone didn't sound so sad anymore. Therefore, the male god did not answer Du directly.
Wei's question, but asked him a question first:
"Human, let me ask you, in your opinion, what is God?"
"??" Du Wei looked at the figure in the crystal stone above his head silently. He thought carefully before replying: "Have the supreme power. Create the world? Create living beings? Well... in my opinion,
The power of God and Earth is as if it is in its own domain, and everything can be controlled according to one's own will... Then, creation or destruction, change or eternity..."
"No, no, no, that's not what I asked." Ares said slowly: "Let me ask you, in your opinion, what is God? Or let me put it another way: Where does God come from?"
Where did God come from?
It seems that there is no precise explanation on this issue in any religious scriptures.
In a general sense, almost any religious doctrine anywhere believes that God is the founder of the world. Everything in the world, the sky, rivers, mountains, forests, creatures, and everything else, are created by gods. But...
…Where were gods “created”?
It seems as if this answer has never existed before. Because it seems that God exists so eternally.
Perhaps, if you ask anyone in this world, the answer will be like this.
But Du Wei was not, because after all, he had the memory of his previous life. In his previous life, he was an atheistic believer in materialism. So he quickly said: "I think the so-called God is not a creation at all.
The existence of this world... Ares, maybe when you are on the ground, I say this a little disrespectfully. But I feel that although you are very powerful, you are not really powerful enough to create such a world! So, I
I feel that the so-called gods are just ordinary beings originally, but you are lucky enough to have strong strength, which is higher than ordinary beings."
Ares smiled, and his laughter seemed satisfied this time: "Human, no matter what, your answer is very good. Last time, Aragorn said the same here. Indeed... we are called so-called
'God'. But the name God is just what ordinary gods call it."
Then he slowly said:
"A long, long time ago, when the world was still very young, there were already all things and creatures in the world. There were various races, including humans, demons, elves, dwarves, orcs, and even
There are other races that you don’t know about now. And I, she, the demon god, and the so-called beast god, elf god, or dwarf god, etc., at the beginning, we were just ordinary gods.
Ordinary humans are ordinary demons, ordinary dwarves, and ordinary elves. However, later, with personal opportunities and development, some powerful individuals appeared among ordinary creatures. These powerful individuals understood
Understand the true meaning of power and understand the rules of space..."
After hearing this, Du Wei immediately thought of the so-called "fish in the river" theory mentioned by Bai Hechou.
He even thought of Bai Hechou. Wasn't this guy originally an ordinary human being? But he began to change from an ordinary fish to a strong fish, able to jump out of the water and see the rules of the river ahead.
, at this time, he reached the holy level. Later, he became more and more powerful, and gradually became powerful enough to walk on the river bank from a fish in the river...
This is a breakthrough!
A breakthrough on the road to godhood!
Whether it is Ares or the gods that existed in ancient times, they probably all came here this way!
"At the beginning, when we understood the rules, we thought it was the limit and the end. But later, some powerful individuals found new breakthroughs and discovered that it was just about understanding the rules, knowing how to use them, and
It is not the real end. Then, it gradually developed to the point where some people can change the rules, or even create new rules... The power becomes more and more powerful. Even after reaching a higher realm, we can have a long life.
!A life that is much longer than that of ordinary creatures!
So, gradually, we have become awe-inspiring existence in the eyes of ordinary creatures. We have power that ordinary creatures cannot understand. We have 'eternal' life in their eyes, because our power is so powerful that it even reaches
He has reached a situation where he can use his own power to change the fate of many, many people, even beyond the scope of what ordinary beings can imagine...
Therefore, in their eyes, existences like ours have become idols that must be respected and feared.
Moreover, over the long years, ordinary living beings experience birth and death, generation after generation. But we have always existed, which makes them even more incomprehensible and awe-inspiring.
And then, in the eyes of ordinary people, they mistakenly believe that we are truly eternal.
Although we have powerful power, we are not the real beings who created the world. We are just evolved from ordinary people. We also have our own thoughts and emotions. Therefore, strong people born in various races will still not be able to create the world.
Consciously take care of your original race.
Gradually, those races regarded the gods who took care of their own races as the patron saints who protected their own races... And, after a long time, everything became a 'tradition'.
It’s as if we were born to exist and to be superior.
And these gods also have desires, evil sides, kind sides, vanity sides, etc..."
"I understand. You are just humans. You are just much stronger than ordinary people." Du Wei said lightly: "Then according to what you said, the so-called gods are only stronger than saints.
They're just people with more power, right? The so-called earth gods just have their own domain."
"No."
Unexpectedly, Ares denied Du Wei's statement: "This time your answer is wrong. Do you think that after reaching the domain level, you are a god? Let me tell you, it's still a little bit worse, and it's even worse.
Quite a few!”
Du Wei frowned, and then listened quietly to Ares's continued story.
"As you said, we are just some extremely powerful 'people' who have exceeded the limits of ordinary people. However, no matter how powerful a person is, he is still limited. Even if you can reach the domain level, you can only create your own domain.
, just control everything in your own field. But how big can your field be? One hundred steps? One thousand steps? Ten thousand steps?"
Du Wei was speechless.
Because in myths and legends, any god seems to have the power to destroy the world.
"Unless your power is so powerful that the area you support covers the entire world?" After Du Wei finished speaking, he immediately shook his head: "No, I don't think it is that powerful."
"There is indeed no earth. No matter how powerful the domain expert is, he cannot expand his domain to cover the entire world. Therefore... the domain is not truly god-level."
"Then what's the difference?" Du Wei couldn't help but asked.
"Godhead!" Ares's voice seemed a little mysterious, and he said a word that was familiar to Du Wei.
godhead?
Of course Du Wei has heard of this word, but its meaning has always seemed so vague.
Fortunately, Du Wei now has a real god in front of him who can answer this question for him.
"When a person's power has reached its limit, we can only seek other sources of power." Ares said slowly: "I think since you have reached the domain level, you should understand that the so-called domain power,
The power to control the rules does not come from the body, but from the mind. It is the power of the spiritual consciousness space! It is a kind of spiritual power. However, no matter how powerful a person's power is, there is always a limit. Therefore, the earliest domain is strong.
I don't know who discovered it first, but in my opinion, it should be the Demon God who made the breakthrough first.
The method for this breakthrough is faith and religion!
Using faith, using religion, or in other words, using the worship of ordinary creatures towards us. Using the worship and devotion of those creatures who are the most pious to us in their hearts. When a person's heart is filled with piety and fanaticism, his
The spiritual power will become stronger than usual. And at this time... we will open our own domain and envelop these ordinary creatures who believe in us.
Then, you should know that when your domain space is opened, everything within this domain is under your control! And the spiritual power of these ordinary creatures in the faith that have been sublimated due to worship and piety can also
All yours!
And all we have to do is use their power!
Collect the spiritual power of faith from thousands of living beings, concentrate it together, and finally use it for your own use!
From the initial accumulation to more and more and bigger, your power will become stronger and stronger... This is the so-called godhead!
To be continued...
