Meiman's mutant necromancer

Chapter 78 Rathma's Teachings
"Teacher, what is this?" Kane never knew that Priest Rathma had the ability to create life. The resurrection of a puppet is not a living being. His summoning of a heroic spirit is a bit like resurrection, but the creation is not real. Living people are still between life and death.

"This is not my spell, I just released the power of the spirit itself." Rathma pointed to the flowers on the ground and said with a smile, "Everything in the world is composed of basic elements, but why do some of them turn into sand and stone? , some turned into flowers and trees, some into animals, and some into humans?"

"Humans? Aren't they born of angels and demons?" Kane once knew the background story of the dark world, and he still has some impressions of some important events.

"Hehe, you also know this? Yes, the first generation of Nephalem was indeed born of angels and demons, but there were already traces of humans in the world of Sanctuary before that. During the real war between gods and demons, Nephalem Because of the blood in his body, Nephalem does often play the role of leader, but in fact, the human army is the main force on the battlefield, without their heroic sacrifices, the strength of Nephalem alone cannot defeat angels and demons." Rathma explained patiently.

He sat down among the flowers, gently picked one off, and handed it to Kane, "After a long period of observation, I found that the difference between living things and non-living things is the spirit, which is life force. Species are full of sources of vitality, and the spirit power contained in various species is not the same, and the one with the most is human beings, and when a large amount of spirit power is condensed, a new thing is formed, that is the soul."

Kane frowned, and asked suspiciously, "Teacher, what exactly is a soul? Do animals and plants have it?"

"Souls can theoretically be born in creatures with the power of spirits, but the power of spirits in plants and animals is too little to breed a strong enough soul. In my opinion, the soul is the energy that prompts human beings to think. The difference between intelligent creatures and other creatures?"

"Teacher, scientific research in our world has found that thinking is caused by a neuron discharge in the human brain."

"Yes, then animals also have what you call neurons in their brains, why can't they think?"

"Uh" Kane was at a loss for words. He is not a biologist and cannot answer this question, but as far as he knows, neither his original world nor the Marvel world seems to have explained this clearly. However, Ancient One The master would probably agree with Teacher Rathma's opinion, because the lineage of the supreme mage also has a lot of research on the soul.

But thinking of Master Ancient One, Kane finally remembered an imminent question. He looked at Teacher Rathma and asked, "Teacher, although I don't know how I got here, it's great to see you." Yes, I am eager to know how to improve my strength and make greater contributions to protecting that world."

"Hehe, silly boy, do you think I've been telling you useless things?" Rathma smiled, and he found this youngest disciple more and more interesting. He had the same spirit of sacrifice as other disciples, and The kind of vigor they don't have is rare among the priests of Rathma. They all want to learn his wisdom, but Rathma doesn't want the teachings to confine their respective personalities.

"Sorry, teacher, I may not be very smart, so I didn't understand what you meant." Kane scratched his head with an apologetic expression.

"It doesn't matter, you were able to release your soul to come here, one is because of the help of the badge on your chest, and the other is that your soul finally understands the true meaning of protection, which is also the core idea of ​​our Rathma sect, so I can guide you The purpose of your soul coming back here is to teach you something that it failed to teach you before."

Upon hearing this, Kane quickly sat upright. He has always been a good student in the eyes of the teacher.

"Hehe, don't be so restrained." Rathma smiled and started to get down to business.

"When you came last time, there was not much spirit power left in my body, so I couldn't let you understand the real wonder of spirit power, but this time you came here with so much spirit power, I can also borrow some to help you lay the groundwork."

Rathma pointed to the little flower in Kane's hand and said: "I didn't create this flower out of thin air, but I integrated the power of the spirit into this grassland. This world is like an illusion. It looks green and shady, but there is no spirit power, these grasses are like dead things, but when I pour the power of the spirit into them, even such dead things can bloom beautiful flowers."

"The mages of Xiansai and Cadian release their spells with the help of the powerful and invisible arcane power in nature, and what our priests of Rathma use is the power of the spirit contained in life. There is no distinction between superiors and inferiors, and anyone who has practiced to the extreme can kill gods and demons."

"The world calls us necromancers, and thinks that we are playing with the corpses of the dead and fears us. This is a great misunderstanding. We are wanderers between life and death. We use the life energy we have to balance the light and darkness of the world. This is the real way to protect humanity, because when the balance is disturbed, humanity will face extremely dangerous situations."

Kane is very clear about this. In the world of Sanctuary, angels represent light, and demons represent darkness, but in fact, neither of these two planes has goodwill towards humans. Angels are proud and treat humans as slaves, while demons are cruel. Treat human beings as food, so if you really want peace and tranquility, you need to balance the power between them. If only one is left, the human world will be swallowed.

"By the way, Teacher Rathma, I also found traces of demons in the current world, but Morena thinks that they are not known demons in the world of Sanctuary."

Rasma didn't look too surprised after listening to Kane's report of their discovery, "By tracking the dark soul stone, I have discovered that this world is full of various planes, and they run side by side without interfering with each other. However, there will always be some powerful beings who will covet other planes after unifying the entire plane."

"When these lives believe in the way of order, we will call them angels or gods, and when these lives believe in the way of chaos, we will call them demons or devils."

PS. These two chapters describe some of my insights about gods and demons, and it is also a very important lesson in the life of the protagonist. Don’t hate it if you don’t like it, thank you.
