Chapter 1148 The Curse of the People

"I once heard a story. Once upon a time, there was a wizard who raised a flock of sheep and slaughtered a sheep every day for his own food. As a result, the sheep on the grassland ran away as soon as they saw him, causing him to catch more and more sheep. It's difficult."

While Han Chen's shadow clone was presiding over the prayer meeting, his real body stood in the void, standing side by side with Janet.

"Later, the wizard thought of a way. He began to say to a sheep, you are not a sheep, you are a lion, and lions and people should be companions, and then said to another sheep, you are not a sheep, you are a sheep. A wolf, who is a good friend with humans, said to the third sheep, you are not a sheep, you are a human being, and I am of the same kind."

"If things go on like this, the sheep on the prairie don't think they are sheep anymore. Instead, they think that they are friends with that wizard. When the wizard catches the sheep, he won't help the sheep, but will stand on the sidelines. Anyway, the target of the wizard's arrest is What does a sheep have to do with me?"

"After waiting for a longer time, the wizard was shocked to find that when some sheep thought they were a real sheep, other sheep would come to him and tell him that the sheep was a heretic. , so the wizard slaughtered the sheep."

After hearing Han Chen's story, Janet felt mixed feelings.

The believers under the high platform kept praying, and one believer after another was struck to death by lightning, but the rest of the believers not only had no fluctuations in their hearts, but were even more devout.

They know that they are loyal believers of the gods, and they will not be punished by the gods, but will be rewarded and blessed by the gods.

So when their companions were struck to death by lightning, they would only think that those people were dishonest.

Anyway, those who were hacked to death were all false believers, so what does it matter to me?

How come they didn't find out?

If they have this brain, will they become true believers?

"The most powerful part of the gods lies in the power of faith collected from believers, but this is also the weakness of the gods."

"The gods can easily send believers to the battlefield and let them die, because this is the teaching of the gods in the scriptures. Everyone must obey the will of the gods and obey unconditionally."

"But when the gods promote themselves, they will promote themselves too supremely."

"There is no way around this. Otherwise, if we tell the people that our gods are actually just like you, but stronger people, then who will come to believe in this god?"

"A supreme existence will not lie to deceive those ants. This is the cognition in the heart of every believer."

"But the God of Light, in order to mobilize all the strength of the believers and make them willingly burst out with all their lives, deceived them that after this war, they can all ascend to the kingdom of heaven."

"But there is a limit to the capacity of the kingdom of God, and the gods are destined not to be able to do this kind of thing."

"So to pray for the people at this time is equivalent to directly questioning the gods, why would the gods above lie and deceive the ants?"

"In this way, their actions will be contrary to the beliefs in their hearts. The power of such beliefs is no longer the source of power for the gods, but a deadly poison."

Listening to Han Chen's slow explanation of the weakness of the gods, Janet felt a little terrified.

What does this man want to do?

At first, she thought that Han Chen should also be an ambitious man, or a person with a high desire for power, but as she kept getting in touch with him, she found that she couldn't figure out what the real Han Chen was thinking. She had never once been able to guess what this man was thinking.

Now, Han Chen was teaching her the weakness of the gods.

What is he thinking?

"So this act of praying for all peoples should have increased the power of the gods, but now it has become a curse from the gods."

"These believers are like those flocks of sheep. They think that the heretics who are not sure to be gods are the ones killed by the gods, but they don't know that the ones that the gods want to punish are precisely their own kind."

Han Chen said.

"Master, are all believers really like lambs?"

Janet felt a little uncomfortable.

"So what if it is, so what if it's not?"

Han Chen said, "There are many blasphemers in this world, but the so-called blasphemers are actually people who want to replace the gods. Only a few are really dissatisfied with the gods. Even if they can really defeat the gods, but They themselves will become new gods, and the believers will still be lambs."

Janet was silent.

When she wanted to become a god, she thought she was special.

She thought that by becoming a god, she would be able to bring true happiness to her followers.

This is also her obsession.

But accompanying Han Chen and witnessing the birth of so many gods, she suddenly realized that sometimes what determines her actions is not necessarily her own thoughts, but the external environment.

When you are in an environment like Chaotic Star Sea, will your behavior after becoming a god have anything to do with your beliefs before becoming a god?

Is there really no one in this world who is dissatisfied with the gods?

If not, then what about those land reclamation legions who want to be independent?

It wasn't because they participated in land reclamation and created labor with their own hands that such thoughts arose in their hearts. They just let the thoughts that had been suppressed in their hearts explode after they obtained the fruits obtained through labor. out.

More and more lightning came, and more and more believers were killed.

The remaining devout believers are still praying, praying.

"Master, is that why you want to overthrow the old system?"

Janet said suddenly.

Could it be said that this great king stepped on the gods under his feet for this reason, and made those gods a tool for him to manage the country?

She looked at Han Chen with a little admiration.

"Overthrow? Hehe"

Han Chen smiled and shook his head, "Maybe he has such an idea! But overthrow is not the goal."

If overthrowing the gods can achieve his purpose, then he will overthrow the gods, and if it is more in his interest to preserve the system of the gods, then he will keep it.

Overthrowing the past system is only a means, not an end.

He has never been the kind of stubborn or pedantic person. A person with firm beliefs is not firm in the path he is walking, but firm in his own goals.

Everyone knows that the Great Qin Kingdom is his painstaking effort, but what no one knows is that those people who were expelled by him to the wild areas are the ones who put the greatest hope on him.
