Lord Yunzhong in Douluo

Chapter 275
"Fan Yun, what do you think of gods?"

Hearing the topic mentioned by the second priest, Fan Yun looked embarrassed for a while.

Probably due to the old man's influence, Fan Yun's attitude towards the so-called gods has always been respectful, especially in this era when the gods have not appeared for a long time, he feels that human beings should go at their own pace.

But is it appropriate to say these words in front of this pious second priest?

After thinking for a moment, Fan Yun said like this:

"I think humans are to gods what ants are to giants."

"The ants lived in the nest for a long time. One day, by chance, they met a giant passing by their nest. The ants were very frightened, fearing that the giant would destroy their home, so they tried to dedicate their favorite and precious things as tributes to the giant. , for the giant's forgiveness."

"The giant left the ant nest without destroying anything. The ants cheered very much, thinking that their offering was recognized by the giant, so they built a monument for the giant to commemorate the giant's immortal grace."

"After a long time, another giant passed by near the ant nest. The ants absorbed the experience of last time, and this time they still offered their favorite and precious things. However, this time the giant is not like the last time. Similarly, he held a huge mallet in his hand and smashed it at the ant nest with boundless coercion."

"The giant left the ant nest, leaving only a large piece of ruins. The ants felt very uncomfortable seeing their dilapidated homeland. For this disaster, a new stele was erected, and a better tribute than the first stele was placed under it."

"After a long time, although the ants worked very hard, the damage caused by the last giant was too great, and the ant nest was still not completely repaired. However, another giant passed by nearby."

"Thinking of what happened the last two times, the ants don't know how to respond this time, but the dilapidated homeland can no longer withstand another destruction. In order to avoid repeating the same mistakes, they exhausted the strength of the whole clan this time and killed the entire ants. All the precious things in the nest were brought out, praying for the giant's departure."

"But this time, the giant didn't leave immediately, nor did he destroy the ant nest. Instead, he distributed some of the newly collected honey to the ants before leaving."

"The ants tasted a delicacy they had never tasted before, and they were grateful for the kindness of this giant, so they set up a monument again and placed their best tributes, hoping that this kind-hearted giant will bless them in the future. "

While telling the story of these ants, Fan Yun silently observed the reaction of the old man beside him, and he didn't seem to want to get angry.

Just as he was speaking, Fan Yun walked over to the side of the second priest in order to observe the other party's reaction, and whether he wanted to continue talking. Now it seems that there is no problem.

Taking a deep breath, Fan Yun continued:

"The ants thought that it was because of their own offerings that caused the different behaviors of the giants, but they didn't know that to the giants, the dead branches and rotten leaves they worshiped were simply unattractive sundries, and they didn't take the ants into consideration at all. It is not the tributes of the ants that affect the actions of the giants, but their own mood."

"For the first giant, he just passed by the ant nest, didn't notice the ants around him, and ignored the passing by; while the second giant was in a bad mood, and felt even more irritable when he saw the densely packed ants on the ant nest. , just hit a stick casually; the last giant found the ant nest destroyed by the previous giant when passing by, felt pity for them, and gave them some honey they had collected themselves. "

After listening to Fan Yun's whole story, Golden Crocodile understood his views on gods and humans, and shook his head with a smile:

"Your story is really novel, but it should be said that you are indeed Fan Zhe's disciple, and your thoughts are highly consistent with his."

"This is the attitude towards the gods, respect, but rejection."

After looking at Fan Yun's complexion, Jin Crocodile said, "But I think you made some mistakes."

Fan Yun: "What is it? Please make it clear to the second priest."

"Gods and humans are indeed very different, but they are not insurmountable like ants and giants. For humans, although the chances are slim, it is indeed possible to step into the ranks of gods."

"I know this, it was mentioned in the teacher's book." Fan Yun nodded.

It is recorded in the old man's book that there are two ways for a mortal to become a god. One is to temper oneself, with an excellent talent, a firm will and a body that has been tempered into steel, and finally set foot on the stage of life as a mortal; , is to inherit the power and position of the existing gods, and transform the body and soul through external power, so as to become a god.

"In addition, it is the relationship between gods and humans."

"Gods have their own ideas and are willing to protect the species they prefer. Humans are like this, not ants who don't care."

Speaking of this, Golden Crocodile put his hand on Fan Yun's shoulder: "In fact, there are quite a few gods left on the Douluo Continent. In addition to the place where the gods are inherited in our Spirit Hall, there is also the Sea God Island overseas." As well as places of inheritance such as the capital of killing."

"Although the gods have long since left, they have not given up on the humans here. They have more or less special expectations and visions for humans."

Holding his hands in front of his body, the golden crocodile made a special gesture in front of his chest, with his white head drooping and a pious expression:

"Take our noble Angel God as an example. She is the goddess who brought the first ray of hope to mankind. She led mankind through the endless dark night in ancient times, and provided great help for our survival and development. , and finally made a huge sacrifice for mankind."

"If it weren't for this, the Spirit Hall with only the blood of the gods would not be able to get to where it is today. After all, power can bring fear, but it can't bring respect and faith."

Fan Yun: "Hmm..."

Speaking of this, Golden Crocodile stood upright and looked at Fan Yun with a very serious expression, which made his original appearance of a kind old man suddenly become calm and majestic.

"Fan Yun, what I want to tell you next is some guesses made by your teacher and us old people. I don't know if he has told you, but I think I have to tell you, just in case You don’t know. The following statement only represents your teacher’s personal opinion, and I do not comment on it.”

Speaking of this, Golden Crocodile did not leave time for Fan Yun to react, but went on to say:

"Your teacher once read a lot of ancient documents, and after many discussions with us, he believed that compared with humans, the gods are at a higher level of life, but the power they have may not come from this. And It's not that you can get that power by becoming a god, but that you can bear that power only by becoming a god."

"That power, that is, the divine power of the gods, is called by Fan Zhe as 'power'. It is the source of the power of the gods to control the world. It is recognized by the world and the only 'rule' mastered by the gods."

"Although there has been no one who has become a god in Douluo Continent for many years, according to previous ancient data, we can also find that there are many more people who inherit the position of gods and become gods than those who ascended to the rank of gods with mortal bodies."

"Fan Zhe believes that the reason why it is easier to inherit the position of a god and become a god is because it is reserved by those who have already become a god. The key 'divine power'."

"And if you want to become a god by yourself, let's not mention the difficulty of tempering a mortal body, just say that this 'power' is enough to make it difficult for most people."

Hearing this, Fan Yun frowned, and asked a little puzzled, "Why?"

Seeing Fan Yun's performance, Jin Crocodile knew that Fan Zhe probably hadn't told him about this, so he explained:

"Your teacher believes that the reason why 'power' is powerful is largely because of its uniqueness, just like the angel god controls the light, and the sea god controls the sea. There is only one 'power', and the gods control it all." If the latecomers who have followed the path of the gods do not choose to inherit the position of the gods, how can they have the 'powers' required for promotion?"

"Besides, your teacher believes that 'power' can be snatched away. It doesn't mean that a certain god can only have a certain kind of 'power'. If this is the case, in order to become stronger and master more powerful power, the gods More 'powers' will be collected and absorbed, and less will be left for us humans."

"Why does my teacher think that this...'power' can be taken away?" Fan Yun frowned.

"Because whether it is your teacher or the rest of us, there is one thing that is unclear. That is why the Shura god who is in charge of killing has the divine power called 'law enforcement'." Golden Crocodile frowned when he said this .

"The foundation of Asura God's becoming a god is killing and fighting, which has little to do with law and justice. We would not be surprised if he mastered 'execution', but he has become a god of law enforcement. Your teacher thinks that this may be It is the new theocracy that was snatched after Shura became a god."

After saying this, Golden Crocodile shook his head: "I'm not a researcher, so I can't judge your teacher's conjecture. Now I will pass it on to you. I hope you can get your own answer."

After hearing this, Fan Yun was silent for a while, and suddenly asked: "Second Priest, why did you tell me this and explain to me the difficulty of becoming a god? Do you want me to choose to inherit the inheritance of the gods that have been handed down to the world? ?”

Hearing Fan Yun's words, Jin Crocodile suddenly laughed.

"Hahaha!"

"No, on the contrary, I actually hope that you can walk out of your own path, the path of human beings."

"The closer you get to the limit of a mortal, the more you can feel the majesty of the gods, the more obvious the awe of the gods in your heart, and the more you feel the humbleness and insignificance of human beings..."

"Your talent has never been seen since ancient times. As a human being, even if I believe in angel gods... I really hope that human beings can have their own 'human prestige' instead of simply relying on gods..."
