Chapter 421 The Enemy Is in the Divine Realm, the Shepherd and the Sheep
"No! Who said no!"
Regarding Zi Zhenzhu's pessimism, Su Mo shook his head.
"In your endless sea, there is indeed no such force, but in Douluo Continent, our Spirit Hall is working hard in this regard."
"But if you want to realize everything I told you, in addition to having a powerful soul master force willing to protect the interests of civilians and promote these measures, you also need the cooperation of the will of the country."
"So our Spirit Hall is now joining forces with the Tiandou Empire to try to unify the Douluo Continent. The emperor of the Tiandou Empire has the same idea as us. The only way we can help her unify the continent is to succeed."
"Only in the future can she have the absolute authority to propose these measures, and only then can she concentrate the power of the country to help us implement and promote these measures."
"But unfortunately, even with the help of our Spirit Hall, it is not easy for the Tiandou Empire to unify the continent, because our enemies are not only other countries like the Star Luo Empire, but also the legendary God Realm..."
Speaking of this, Su Mo couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
"What! God Realm?!"
Hearing Su Mo mention the God Realm, not only Zi Zhenzhu was stunned, a little unbelievable.
The same goes for other pirates.
Because compared to Douluo Continent, gods are almost just legends.
In the endless sea, due to the existence of Poseidon Island, the belief of Poseidon, the god of the sea, has been spread day by day for hundreds of thousands of years. Even pirates like Purple Pearl believe in the existence of Poseidon, the god of the sea. .
Previously, they learned that Poseidon Island was destroyed by the Sea Soul Beast from the Endless Sea led by the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King. Purple Pearl and others were still very sad for the destruction of Poseidon Island.
Because although Poseidon Island has not done anything for the sea soul beasts, sea soul masters can go to Poseidon Island to take the divine examination.
Among sea soul masters, Poseidon Island still has a very high reputation.
"Your Majesty, Titled Douluo, do you mean the divine realm like the one ascended by the great Poseidon?"
"But shouldn't the great gods want us to live a better life? How could they oppose your Spirit Hall and the Tiandou Empire's unification of the continent?"
"Could it be that the great gods have been deceived and don't know the purpose of your Spirit Hall and the Tiandou Empire to unify the continent?"
In disbelief, Purple Pearl tried hard to whitewash her behavior in the God Realm.
But Su Mo laughed a few times with disdain and ridicule, and then said: "Captain Purple Pearl, you have all been deceived by these hypocritical gods..."
With that said, Su Mo directly used Poseidon, the God of the Sea, as an example to expose the hypocrisy of the divine world.
Through Poseidon Island, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King has been slandered as a ferocious beast, but the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King has never done anything harmful and has only lived in the Demonic Whale Sea. As evidence, Su Mo easily killed Poseidon. Dong slapped him in the face.
In the past, Purple Pearl and other pirates were also brainwashed by the Poseidon legend spread by Poseidon Island, and their thinking became one-way thinking that could only think in the direction pointed by Poseidon Island.
But there were too many loopholes in the story of the sea god Poseidon saving the endless sea. As soon as Su Mo pointed out these loopholes, Purple Pearl and other pirates felt something was wrong.
As pirates, Purple Pearl and others are deviant people who are unwilling to obey the rules.
So after Su Mo pointed out the hypocrisy of Poseidon, the God of the Sea, and after some serious thinking, Purple Pearl and the other pirates had an incredible feeling that Su Mo might be right.
"Your Majesty the Titled Douluo, are the true faces of those gods actually like this?"
Purple Pearl still couldn't believe it.
"It's not that their true faces are like this, it's that there is no love for no reason in this world, and there is no hate for no reason. Everything is driven by interests!"
Su Mo shook his head and said with emotion.
"Actually, the God Realm is opposed to our Spirit Hall helping the Tiandou Empire to unify the mainland. The reason is very simple. That is, if our Spirit Hall helps the Tian Dou Empire to unify the mainland, it will harm the interests of their God Realm!"
Having said this, Su Mo briefly explained why the God Realm thought so.
Among them, the God of Destruction, those ancient gods who were not born in the Douluo Continent, have always been afraid of the Douluo Continent, the birthplace of the Dragon God, because of the Dragon God's calamity.
In addition, in the last era of their Douluo Continent, the Soul Guidance Empire invented the soul guidance device. The soul guidance devices created by the Soul Guidance Empire should have also threatened the God Realm, so the Soul Guidance Empire was destroyed.
And because of the example of the Soul Guidance Empire, it is impossible for the God Realm to allow them to reunify the Douluo Continent. What if they continue to research and develop soul guidance devices like the Soul Guidance Empire and threaten the God Realm?
From the perspective of the God Realm, it would be best for Douluo Continent to split up.
As long as they remain in a state of division, the countries on Douluo Continent will only focus on how to annex other countries and prevent themselves from being annexed, and will have no intention to research and develop soul guidance technology.
In addition, the situation of many countries in Douluo Continent will also make each country focus on its military, either actively or passively.
Since it is extremely expensive to feed the military, the state will go all out to squeeze the civilian population.
Only when civilians' lives are very unsatisfactory will they place their future on faith, and then the gods in the divine world will gain the power of faith they want.
On the contrary, if the Wuhun Palace unites with the Tiandou Empire to unify the continent, the lives of ordinary people will become better in the future.
Then civilians will definitely pursue the life they want, instead of pinning their hopes on illusory beliefs.
This offends the interests of those gods who need the power of faith to ascend from Douluo Continent.
Among them, Poseidon, the God of the Sea, controls the beliefs of all sea soul masters in the endless sea, and can also be said to control the entire endless sea, so his reaction to this will be even more intense.
Because if their Wuhun Palace unites with the Tiandou Empire to unify the Douluo Continent, they will definitely set their sights on the endless sea in the future, which will threaten the faith of the sea god Poseidon.
Therefore, Poseidon, the God of the Sea, is the person who least wants to see the unification of Douluo Continent.
However, these gods may not mean that they are unwilling to see the lives of civilians on Douluo Continent become better. As long as their interests are not violated, they definitely don't care.
But if civilians want to live a better life and it threatens their interests, then they will definitely not agree and will do their best to prevent this from happening.
Because after all, in the eyes of gods, their relationship with humans is like that of shepherds and their flocks.
Shepherds would like to see their sheep eat better because then they can get more output, whether it's milk, wool, skins, etc.
But if your eating well will endanger his interests, then that’s not okay!
Because in essence, gods are willing to be good to humans, but they still think that humans are just the property of their gods. How can property harm the interests of the owner!
"...Captain Purple Pearl, do you now know what the gods are like?"
After saying all this, Su Mo looked at Zi Zhenzhu, smiled calmly, and asked.
In response to this, Zi Zhenzhu felt a little shocked and silent.
Although the gods in Su Mo's words are somewhat real and explicit, and can even be called hypocritical and shameless, from a realistic perspective, such gods are probably the real gods.
Because the legend only talks about how majestic and upright the gods are and how they care for the creatures of Douluo Continent.
But why the gods behave like this, the legend has never said.
According to the legend, gods care about the world unconditionally.
If you don't think about it, you must be only grateful to the gods in your heart, but if you seriously think about why the gods are like this, it will only make people feel uneasy and fearful.
After all, the real world is not a fairy tale, as this adult knows.
How can there be love without reason in this world!
But according to Su Mo, the reason why the gods care for the creatures in Douluo Continent is because they need the power of their faith. This relationship is the same as that between a shepherd and a flock of sheep.
This is understandable!
