Something's wrong with my undead

To be honest, Heine never thought that God was born in this way.

But this series of explanations perfectly fits his understanding of the Elemental Spirit, spiritualism, and the current belief systems of the four nations.

According to the strength of the Mad King, faith was the evaluation standard that was ultimately recognized by both parties.

That is to say, God was born after all people compromised.

This also explains why the belief system is so closed and why gods are so exclusive.

This is both to maintain one's own purity and to weaken others.

When a system closes itself off, refuses to communicate with the outside world, regards all communication as an invasion, and regards all exchanges as prying, then it will inevitably prevent others from getting involved in its own achievements.

The most terrifying thing is that this is not the arbitrary decision of one or two decision makers, but a democratic consensus.

If closing the country to the outside world is like blocking with iron chains, then this is like sealing the heart with cement.

Under this belief, even if later comers do not think so, they must obey the decision.

In this way, they lost the possibility of making further progress.

As a child Heine had heard a fable about a god who could grant a man his wish, but whatever he got, his neighbor would get double.

So, this lucky man's initial ecstasy gradually turned into trouble, and after pondering for a night, he finally decided to let the god cut off one of his arms.

Only in this way can his neighbor avoid enjoying happiness that makes him jealous, while also experiencing twice as much pain as he does.

Heine thought this was absurd at the time, but now he understands it.

This also explains why the basic spells of extraordinary energy are interoperable.

Such as energy channels, energy protection, energy attachment and so on.

Because they come from the same spiritualism.

Thinking of this, Heine suddenly couldn't figure out the Veritas people.

What role do they play in the subsequent story?

They do seem to be a different kind of people from the four countries, and they have indeed inherited Sai Weng's will.

But their methods are even more extreme...

Perhaps, Sepitija was really killed completely by the gods as the Mad King said, so his successors - the earliest psychics learned a lesson from it and gradually became what they are today after going too far in correcting their mistakes.

If the people of Veritas are regarded as the "upper people" mentioned by the Mad King, this is truly a kind of reincarnation.

...

The Mad King seemed very satisfied with Heine's silence. He spoke again:

"I can tell you another interesting fact. In my time, people were not divided into different races. There were only slight physiological differences caused by different regions.

"But I know that you have it now, and that racial barriers exist not only in physical features, but also in the heart."

Heine was stunned: "You didn't have dwarves and elves back then? Then why is Lakaz a dwarf?"

“He was an exception, and he was a latecomer.”

The Mad King said: “As I said before, different supernatural powers will have different effects on people’s personalities. My people always keep a certain distance from power and will not let it pollute their souls and blood.

"But the untouchables are different. They forget themselves and are eager to have everything. They have no idea what moderation and long-term thinking are.

"Before my empire collapsed, they began to divide themselves into camps based on the same type of supernatural powers, looking for their own 'kind'.

"After this phenomenon of 'spontaneous gathering of supernatural beings with the same attributes' occurred, the gods began to split, and then 'each god' appeared. Then, each god began to polarize its believers, to the point that even their physiological structures were affected.

“This is ridiculous, isn’t it? My kingdom has lasted for tens of thousands of years, and there has never been such a terrible change. And how long has it been since Sepitija bestowed power on those untouchables?

"Besides, since you are a psychic, you must have discovered some unknown changes."

Heine's eyes were dim, and a sense of sadness rose in his heart for no reason.

The Mad King's words made him think of a possibility. His excessive affinity with the spirits made him feel empathetic grief.

"It looks like you finally realized it."

The Mad King was very pleased: "This is definitely the most ironic thing. The spirits that were originally born for 'equality', 'liberation', and 'freedom' - the creations of Sepitiga, were enslaved and dominated by the people they rescued, and then alienated... Yes, the spirits are also divided into 'races'.

"They are the cornerstone of the belief system that can be born from extraordinary energy. They are the bridge from thought, emotion and will to energy. They stole power from me in the past, and now they will use the same means to punish 'heretics' and maintain the belief system...

"Nothing could be more comforting than this ending, not even the death of Sebitiga.

"So, after listening to all I have to say, do you still think that your career will not end up like that savior?"

he asks.

"Is this your real purpose?"

Heine looked at the skull on the throne.

He finally saw the latter's fangs.

"Yes, I don't bother to lie to gain your trust."

The Mad King's voice was still as arrogant as ever.

"I see the shadow of Sebitiga in you. You are just as mysterious. Now he is dead, but I am still here. Who do you think is the winner between us?"

"Tsk..."

Heine couldn't help grinning.

He stepped back a few steps and put up a black shield in front of him.

Mad King: "What are you doing?"

Heine: "I have something to say to you, but I'm not sure if you'll pull out a dagger and cut me after listening to it, so make some preparations."

The Mad King didn't say anything for a few minutes. I don't know if he was very angry or he didn't know how to respond.

After a long while, he snorted without comment.

"You can't guess the king's temperament. Did you hear me speak harshly to Sepitija?"

"Okay."

Heine removed his shield, but still quietly held the bottle containing the War Dog.

"Long story short, I think you're a complete loser."

"what?"

The Mad King thought he had heard it wrong.

Heine: "If this is a 'match' between you and Sebitiga, you're losing miserably no matter how you look at it."

"Are you trying to irritate me again?"

Heine: "Don't rush to refute me, let me explain it to you.

"First of all, if we look at it from the perspective of the survival of civilization, everyone knows the story of Sai Weng. As for you, Your Majesty, you have been swept into the garbage dump of history due to some human factors and most objective factors. If it weren't for some coincidences, I wouldn't even be here."

"But he is dead!" the Mad King shouted, "Sebitiga is dead!"

"I said - don't rush."

Heine consoled him, "Before discussing a person's 'life and death', we must first define 'life and death'. If you think your current situation can be considered 'alive', then I can confirm that Sebitiga is not 'dead' either."

"What!?"

"I don't want to lie to you, but this is the truth." Heine spread his hands. "I'm from Mackala. You obviously don't know that place, but there is Sai Weng's legacy there. That is to say, after you knew that 'Sebitiga was killed', he himself left a legacy in Mackala - you might as well think about it yourself."

He dared to say this because this setting was written into the database by Huihui.

And when she played George and gave a speech, this slogan became a consensus.

Therefore, the Mad King who spied on Macara should have also discovered the shared memories of the Macara people.

In addition, he had a guess.

Because according to the plot development described by the players - after Sai Weng was sealed by the four major camps, the players were completely tied to the chariot of the gods.

So, if Sai Weng is already dead in the game, then there is no point in sealing him!

The only possibility is to survive in another form.

Sure enough, the Mad King was savoring the memories he had acquired like a cow chewing the cud.

Soon, his emotional voice sounded again.

"But he paid the price for his stupidity! His Macara - your Macara is now surrounded by powerful enemies. This is not the survival of civilization at all!"

Good, he believed it.

Heine: “But it still exists, and it is expanding and growing—but it doesn’t matter, if you say it’s not, then it’s not, we can just use a different method of judgment.

“After eliminating the two criteria of ‘individual’ and ‘civilization’, the only thing left to judge ‘win or lose’ is ‘attribution’ based on objective facts.

"So whoever looks more foolish in the fall of your empire and the death of Sebitiga loses, right?"

The Mad King said coldly: "It is undoubtedly him!"

Heine: "Why? I'm curious about why you insist on this point."

The Mad King seemed to be laughing out of anger: "He tried to save those untouchables, but died in the end... and failed because of the untouchables. Doesn't this show how stupid he is?"

Heine: "In other words, you believe that the final situation created by those 'untouchables' represents the 'failure of Sebitiga', and your empire has not really collapsed, so Sebitiga lost and you are the winner, is that right?"

Mad King: “You can say that.”

Heine: "But in my opinion, those 'untouchables'... can't say they won, but at least they didn't lose... Do you want to hear my opinion?"

Mad King: "You can argue as much as you want, but I will expose your loopholes without mercy!"

He is so rational, it makes me cry.

Heine thought with relief, and then sorted out his thoughts a little.

"First of all, where do the 'untouchables' come from? Obviously, it is your 'empire' that caused them. You used the wrong methods to educate your people, so they can only become the untouchables you are talking about.

"Your empire is divided into classes based on power. The mercy of the superiors is a noble virtue, while the submission of the inferiors is their due duty.

“That is to say, you do not give them the path to nobility, refuse to popularize extraordinary knowledge as common sense, and instead use morality and knowledge as indicators to measure nobility and humbleness.

"So the only thing the 'untouchables' learn is what others have implemented and what they have experienced themselves - the weak obey, the strong rule, the weak are despicable, and the strong are noble.

“It is not that one becomes noble because one becomes strong, but that one becomes noble because one becomes strong.

"So when Sepitija brought power to them, they instinctively followed this rule, making themselves 'strong', becoming 'superior people' as you define them.

"In other words, after the emergence of 'strong' and 'weak' psychics, the strong ones will represent your 'upper people'."

The Mad King did not refute, but asked after a pause:

"so what?"

"So, although it may seem like an 'internal war among the untouchables', it is actually still a continuation of subversion. The 'weak' represents Sebitiga, and the 'strong' represents you. Do you agree?"

"Yes."

"So, who wins in the end in this war between the weak and the strong?"
