Chapter 2796 Source of Divine Power (Ⅲ)
In order to explain this problem clearly to Joan, Valentina simply used herself as an example.
"I have been pursuing the priesthood of 'Agriculture' for many years, and related fields include 'Earth', 'Sunshine', 'Water', 'Nature', 'Plant', 'Life', 'Healing', 'Reproduction' and 'Nurture' etc."
"Suppose I finally got a source of divine power, opened it, and found that there were four fields of 'flame', 'killing', 'war' and 'terror', all of which were in sharp conflict with my ideas, it would be embarrassing .”
"In this case, I have only two choices, either give up absorbing this source of divine power, or do the opposite, give up the idea I have always insisted on, stop taking the priesthood of agriculture as my goal, and pursue the priesthood of war chaos instead, and I will be able to Use this source of divine power."
"Choosing the second path and betraying my own ideals is equivalent to betraying the 'Ring of Harvest' created by myself. Then this society is worthless to my road to becoming a god. I can only start from scratch and create a new one. A religious order that advocates war and slaughter."
"Doing this is not only more troublesome, but also seriously violates your own beliefs, and you can't help but suspect that you have gone astray."
"On the road to becoming a god, the most important thing is not strength, power, or even luck, but firm belief."
"We can deceive others, but we can't deceive the true self in our hearts. Once our beliefs are shaken, Dr. Vader, the dream of becoming a god will come to naught."
"I understand." Joan suddenly sighed, "A person who only seeks profit can only become a god of selfishness. If a hypocrite can become a god, he can only become a god of hypocrisy."
The so-called divinity is actually the main component that decomposes and abstracts the complex human nature. In the process, all contradictory components are discarded.
For example, a person can be both a cruel murderer and a generous philanthropist. There are many aspects of complex human nature, which allows contradictions to a certain extent. When a person is promoted to a god, the specific human nature abstracts into divinity. "" and "benevolence" are two conflicting divinities, only one can be retained, and it is difficult to be both "God of Slaughter" or "God of Charity".
Thinking of this, Qiao An asked Ms. Jin Long: "I wonder if you have noticed that statistically speaking, it is more difficult to become a good god than to become an evil god."
Valentina froze for a moment, then turned her head and cast a look of help to Roland.
Roland shook his head lightly, spreading his hands and smiling wryly.
"Dr. Vader's thinking is too detached, we can't keep up with his thinking, let's ask him to explain."
no? Such a simple truth, you can't figure it out?
Qiao An suppressed the urge to complain and patiently explained the reasoning process to the two demigods.
"Your Majesty, Ms. Valentina, we know that the divine domains contained in the 'source of divine power' are divided into phases, which can be roughly divided into three categories: good, neutral, and evil."
"The fields that Ms. Valentina desires, such as life, healing, reproduction, nurturing, sunshine, etc., are mostly kind or neutral. In the same way, demigods with such fields are mostly kind or neutral. As for the evil God of Agriculture... I don't need to say, you guys have to think about it for yourself, is this style of painting very offensive?"
"Okay, now that you want to seize the kind-hearted source of divine power, I'm afraid you can only use the idea of the demigods of the kind camp. No matter how kind they are, they won't be so generous as to give up the precious source of divine power, right?"
"If someone doesn't give it to you, you can only grab it, kill him and forcefully take the source of divine power for yourself, right?"
"If you really did this, murdering a kind demigod for your own selfishness, this is obviously a blatant evil deed, which is contrary to your belief in goodness. May I ask you to let it go?"
"If you feel sorry and feel guilty, your will will inevitably be shaken. Even if you win the source of divine power, you will have no hope of being promoted to a true god, and you will stop at the demigod rank."
"Dr. Vader, your argument is very exciting!" Ms. Jin Long couldn't help applauding, "Snatching other people's source of divine power is an act of violence no matter how you say it, and applying violence to a good person is tantamount to an evil act. This road to becoming a god is too unfriendly to those who aspire to become good gods."
"That's right, this is a typical paradox, whatever you do is wrong!" Roland echoed with deep emotion.
"Let's examine the demigods of the evil camp again. They need to seize the source of divine power that is biased toward evil, and those who master this kind of source of divine power are precisely the demigods of the evil camp. This wave, this wave is called' Dog eats dog', fight evil with evil!"
"Evil demigods kill each other, even if it is not an act of good deeds, at least they have no psychological burden. They have seized the source of divine power that is compatible with each other, carried out their beliefs from beginning to end, and ascended to the throne of God with confidence. How much smoother is the road to becoming a god for kind-hearted people with restrained hands and feet and entangled hearts?"
Joan's question made Roland and Valentina speechless and bitter.
The reality is just as this young mage understands, this world is unfair to good people, and it is much more difficult to be good than to do evil recklessly.
In the same way, it is much more difficult for you to become a good god than to be an evil god. Not only do you have to shoulder more responsibilities and abide by more principles, but you also have to face the torture of your soul. It is so difficult to truly have a clear conscience.
"Is the world unfair?"
Ms. Jinlong smiled frankly and answered her own questions.
"It is indeed unfair, but because it is so difficult to have kind thoughts and stick to the bottom line, this road is more worthwhile for me to persist until the end."
Plain words, like a stone falling into a well, stirred up waves in the hearts of Roland and Joan, and they were both moved by it.
His Majesty the Emperor firmly held his girlfriend's hand, as if conveying some kind of belief that he would never leave her.
Qiao An also added three points of respect to Ms. Jinlong, and said with sincere emotion: "Madam, I am afraid that I will never be able to reach your spiritual realm, but this does not prevent me from admiring you and being deeply impressed by your great personality. Admire... on your journey to become a god, if there is a place for me, I will do my best to serve you!"
Valentina smiled moved, and said softly: "Dr. Vader, thank you very much for your kindness, but to be honest, my road to becoming a god is not as difficult as you said just now. Despair... In fact, most of the god-given domains do not have strict attributes of good and evil. For example, the "sunshine domain" is not always a positive image, and it can also become a symbol of disaster in the "God of Drought"; there is also the "life domain" And the 'reproductive field', in the good gods, represents the great power of motherhood, but in the evil gods, it implies the immorality of moral depravity and the unrestrained expansion that destroys the ecological balance."
