Chapter 924 God's Tendency

It took Gawain a lot of time to suppress the bullshit in his mind, and he was very fortunate that he didn't bring Amber with him this time—otherwise the half-elf would have guessed a lot from the change in his face, and then Several exaggerated versions of "The Sacred Words of Gawain Cecil" will appear in the next issue of "The Emperor's Sacred Words" that circulates secretly...

He shook his head and looked at the god of nature in front of him, who let out a chuckle: "Obviously, you don't intend to help me lift these confinement."

"We have already discussed this issue," Gawain replied indifferently, "I am more concerned about what you said just now, you said 'there really is such a day' - do you mean that you have done something to the goddess of magic early? Any expectations?"

Ammon responded calmly: "...I didn't expect the details, but I know that there must be other gods trying to break the cycle like me, and of all the gods most likely to take action...only the goddess of magic."

"Why do you say that?" Gawain frowned, "And didn't you say before that there is no communication between gods under normal circumstances, and you don't know much about other gods?"

"Because of the constraints of the realm of belief and the trend of thought, there is really no communication between the gods, and I don't know what other gods are thinking and planning..." Amoen's tone seemed to suddenly bring a smile, "But It doesn't affect my 'propensity' to infer other gods based on certain laws..."

Gawain immediately noticed a certain key word mentioned by the other party, but before he opened his mouth to ask, Amoen suddenly threw a question: "Do you know how and why 'magic' was born?"

Veronica, who was on the side, wondered why a god of nature would suddenly ask this question, but she answered after thinking for a while: "Magic originally originated from mortals' understanding of some natural monsters and extraordinary creatures in nature. Imitation and summary of phenomena - Although many scholars and believers in later generations also attributed magic to mysterious races or gods such as dragons, most of the real magicians did not agree with those statements.

"As for the purpose of magic...of course it is to survive in the cruel natural environment."

"Yes, in order to survive in the cruel natural environment, mortals began to draw wisdom from nature, steal power from nature, and turn those thunder, lightning, wind, frost, rain and snow, which were once considered miracles, into the hands of mortals. The power of the goddess, and its resistance to the harsh environment... This is the birth of magic," Ammon said slowly, "so, this is also the birth of the goddess of magic."

Gawain's mind suddenly became clear, and he already understood what Amoen wanted to say.

"Magic is the embodiment of human rebelliousness, learning, desire for survival, and fearlessness in the face of the mighty forces of nature," Amoun's voice was low and sweet, "Therefore, the goddess of magic has a strong ability to learn, and she will be better than all others. Gods are keenly aware of the changing laws of things, and he will not succumb to those parts that are not good for him, he will be the first to awaken and try to control his own destiny, just like the mortal sages trying to control the dangerous ones. Thunder and fire, he is more eager to survive than any god, and can do many daring things to survive... Sometimes, it can even seem reckless.

"The irony is that all of his fighting behaviors are actually the result of his own 'operational laws', and the ironic irony is that Miermina acted recklessly in accordance with the laws, but succeeded, at least to a certain extent... If all the evidence is valid, then 'he' is now 'she'."

Gao Wen listened attentively to these key information revealed by Amoen. He felt that his thinking was clear. Many things that he had never thought about before were suddenly explained, which made him speculate about the nature of other gods for the first time. With clear and quantifiable ideas.

Veronica, who was beside him, also frowned subconsciously, with a look of surprise on her face: "Gods are born from thoughts... It turns out that this can be thought like this!"

Then she suddenly remembered something, and her eyes suddenly turned to Amoen: "You tell us this 'knowledge' directly, is there any problem?"

"If I told you this not long ago, you would have been tainted by the 'truth from magic'," Ammon said lightly, "but now, this level of knowledge has little effect."

"Not long ago..." Gawain suddenly showed a hint of doubt, and there were many guesses in his heart, "Why do you say that?"

"The mortal world has moved forward with a bang, and many things are changing rapidly... But for me, there is only one direction of change that deserves attention..." The smile in Ammon's words became more and more obvious, "Druid General education and the "Township Pharmacist's Handbook" are really good things...even seven or eight-year-old children know where the alchemy potion comes from."

The remaining "divineness" entangled in Amoen is loosening!

Gawain instantly realized what the changes that had happened to the former "God of Nature" meant, and guessed the reasons behind these changes. He stared, looking up and down with three-point consternation and seven-point inquiry. This Julu several times, as if to confirm the authenticity of the other party's words, and at the same time couldn't help but ask again: "You mean, you have now further got rid of the identity of 'God'?"

In the fall of the White Star 3,000 years ago, although Amoen successfully escaped from the position of the "God of Nature" through suspended animation, and even destroyed the position of the God of Nature, Gawain could clearly see that his "separation" was actually It is not complete. He still has many qualities left by gods, such as polluted flesh and blood, an invisible body, words and knowledge that are fatal to ordinary people, etc. Naritel can be the best reference in this regard: Also the "God of the Past", Naritel experienced another death after the separation of divinity and humanity. In addition, her original ideological basis—all the sandbox residents died out, and she herself re-emerged through Gawain's memory. Plastic has achieved complete regeneration and transformation, and now those "limitations of God" are completely gone.

Naritel can appear directly in front of any neural network user, but Ammon is still imprisoned in the deepest part of the shadow world.

Naritel's "success" is obviously unrepeatable for the gods of this world, but now it seems that Ammon has found a complete path to liberation from another direction - the path of liberation. asxs. Right in Cecil's New Order.

To be honest, Gawain was not completely unaware of all of this. After knowing the fact that "gods are born from the tide of thought", he and his technical experts have been pushing back and breaking the situation. Many people in the Cecil Empire In addition to the necessary social needs behind the religious reform and the new education system, a large part of it also bears the shadow of the research related to the Disobedience Plan. He just didn't expect...

All of this really took effect, and it took effect right under his nose--although the object of the effect was a "god of the past" who had left the divine position and was constantly fading away from his divinity.

"In a sense, I am one step closer to 'freedom'," Amoun's voice sounded in Gawain's mind, "I can clearly feel the change."

"I remember the last time you came here, you were still in bondage," Veronica said suddenly, "and at that time our Druid General Course had been promoted for a while... So where did the change come from? Node happened?"

When she said these words, she obviously had the tone of a researcher.

"It's hard for me to give an accurate reference value for a 'sudden change' in time or state," Amoun answered patiently, "It's a vague process, and I think we may never be able to conclude the change in thought. The law of the mortals—we can only roughly speculate about it. In addition, I hope you don’t be blindly optimistic—the changes in me are not that big, and just a few years of education and popularization of knowledge cannot change the minds of mortal groups, much less Reversing the trend of thought that has been formed for thousands of years, it can at most have a certain impact on the gods on the surface, and it will have an impact on a 'god' who has been separated from the god position and no longer has divinity supplements, but If it's a god of normality...I can't say whether this wide-ranging, rapid, and rude change is good or bad."

Gawain felt that Amoen's words were a bit abstract and eloquent, but it was not incomprehensible. He heard a trace of worry in the other party's last words, and immediately asked, "What do you mean by your last words?"

"Remember what I just mentioned, the goddess of magic has the characteristics of 'rebelliousness, learning, and desire to survive'?"

Gawain nodded: "Of course I remember."

"Different gods are born from different trends of thought, and therefore have different characteristics, which I call 'propensity' - the goddess of magic tends to learn and adapt to survive, the Holy Light should be inclined to protect and save, fertile The three gods should be inclined to harvest and become rich. Different gods have different inclinations, which means... when they face sudden changes in human thought, their adaptability and possible responses may be completely different.

"The Goddess of Magic faced the magic technology developed by you, and he quickly learned and began to find content that is conducive to his own survival, but if it is a god who tends to be conservative and maintain the inherent order, he..."

Amon paused when he said this, and then continued in a serious tone: "He may be driven crazy by these sudden changes."

The voice in his mind fell, but Gao Wen felt a huge wave in his heart. He suddenly realized that he might have overlooked something all along, and subconsciously looked at Veronica next to him, only to see that the other party was also ignorant. It also casts a complicated line of sight.

They looked at each other.

"...Ah, it seems that something may have happened in a place that I can't reach..." Amoen obviously noticed the reactions of Gawain and Veronica, and his voice came faintly, "What happened? What's wrong?"

"...The state of the God of War is not quite right," Gawain did not hide, "His priests have begun to die mysteriously."

"...God of War...I'm not surprised," Strangely, Amoen's tone was not much surprised, just as he had guessed that the Goddess of Magic would take the first self-rescue action, and he seemed to have expected it at this time. The God of War will have a situation, "When the critical point comes, He is indeed one of the gods most likely to have an accident."

Gawain asked subconsciously, "Is this also because of God of War's 'inclination'?"

"The God of War, closely related to the concept of war, was born out of the mortal awe of war and the artificial constraints on the order of war.

"War is the most extreme and cruel method used by mortals to seek benefits. Since its birth, it has been direct killing and plundering. No matter how many glamorous decorations and excuses are added, war is bound to be accompanied by bloodshed and murder. Huge profit plunder, this is the basic concept of war recognized by mankind during the birth of God of War.

"At the same time, human beings are also full of fear and vigilance when using the terrifying weapon of 'war', so human beings have added many preconditions and mutually recognized 'rules' to war, such as the name of declaring war, such as The 'bottom line convention' of armistice and exchange of prisoners, such as the distribution of spoils and the assessment of merit - although sometimes kings and lords did not implement these agreements at all, and would change their bottom line a little for the sake of profit, but they at least Show respect for the promise of war in public, and most people also believe that there is order in war.

"They implemented this 'war contract spirit' into their beliefs, believing that the God of War is a god who witnessed a series of war treaties and conventions, and they have believed in this for thousands of years.

"Therefore, the tendency of the God of War is: to maintain the basic definition of war, and he has a strong 'contract tendency'. He is a stubborn and rigid god, and only allows war to be carried out according to a certain template - even if the form of war Change is required, and this change must also be based on a long time and a series of ceremonial appointments.

"Based on the above 'tendency', the God of War has the worst ability to accept 'change', and the possible response to change in the face of change will be the most extreme and the closest to losing control."

After Amoun finished his patient explanation, he paused for a few seconds before breaking the silence again: "So, what exactly did you do?"

"...a war without bloodshed and without killing, most of the participants have smiles on their faces, there are no links to openly declare war or truce, only a series of commercial contracts and exchange of interests," Gawain didn't know how he was feeling now, He had a complicated expression and a serious tone, "This kind of 'war' is spreading all over the world, and the speed of spreading is far faster than the education popularization project of the Cecil Empire - after all, interests can have the greatest impetus for human beings, and this new type of 'war' The benefits are too great..."

Amoen fell silent completely for half a minute.

In the end, even Veronica couldn't help but take the initiative to speak: "So..."

"You are forcing him to die..." Amoen finally broke the silence, "Although I have never communicated with the God of War, I only need to speculate to know... God of War's brain... How can he accept it? These?"

I don't know if it was an illusion or not, but Gawain felt that what Amoen almost blurted out was "How can the God of War receive this" - this is obviously not a very elegant and stable statement.
