Chapter 52 The Answer Is No
What is God?
The power that transcends all things.
The person who controls the world.
Indescribably sublime.
God said, let there be light.
In the world shrouded in darkness, only blazing white remains, and everything rises and falls in the light, warm and burning.

The thunder in the clouds, the sun in the sky, the boundless earth, the rising water vapor, the howling storm.
All are lost in pure light.
…
Three days later.
Xu Xi took Krisha to a new city called "Wage", which was the new settlement chosen by Xu Xi.
In the newly purchased house, Krisha was checking and filling in the gaps to see what other furniture needed to be bought.
Xu Xi was sitting on a soft chair in the living room.
Recalling the "divine punishment" three days ago.
"Incredible..."
"Should I say he is worthy of being a god? He actually managed to accomplish that kind of thing easily, annihilating the monsters in Ellenson City with one blow and protecting the remaining soldiers at the same time."
“The topography centered on the city of Allenson has almost evolved again.”
"How much power was used..."
"10%? No, maybe not even 1%."
Xu Xi closed his eyes and meditated, holding in his hand a wand that was almost broken into pieces.
On that day, the god's main attack target was monsters, but his attack was too grand. Even though they were far away, the violent shock wave forced many of them to use all their cards.
Dozens of level 7 magics were cast in a row.
It was enough to offset the aftermath of the "light" landing.
Protected himself and the witch.
Such an experience was really dangerous and bad, but it was worth it. By witnessing the arrival of God with his own eyes and the enthusiasm of the rescued soldiers, Xu Xi finally understood the truth of the matter.
"Extra number! Extra number!"
On the street outside, there was the sound of newsboys shouting excitedly.
"Ellenson City in the north was invaded by monsters, several large legions were defeated, and Ellenson City was almost destroyed!"
"The great God of Light took action and saved the surviving people!"
"Extra number! Extra number!"
"The God of Light has sent down His grace!"
The shouts spread farther and farther, and more passers-by noticed the news, quickly bought the newspaper, and watched it curiously and eagerly.
They looked sad when they saw Ellenson City being invaded.
Seeing the human legions defeated, they looked terrified.
Seeing the God of Light coming to the world, their faces showed enthusiasm.
"Praise the great God of Light, praise the Lord of infinite brilliance. May the light last forever in the world and protect the weak until death."
"Thank you for saving us again!"
There were believers of the God of Light praising and singing on the spot.
People sighed and prayed, and the expressions on their faces gradually became pious.
The excited ones burst into tears.
Even those who are not believers, in this fanatical atmosphere, are inevitably affected by it and silently recite a few words of thanks to the gods.
all all all.
They were all seen by Xu Xi.
He saw through the plans of the gods.
"Proactively create a situation where monsters invade, and then let the human legion die, which further highlights the power of the monsters and the critical situation."
"In the end, the superior gods took action, not only harvesting human faith, but also making human beings reverent in return."
Xu Xi thought about it and sighed: "What a cruel method."
The psychological control of humans by the gods.
Obviously to a very high level.
They know that if humans are made too comfortable, no one will believe in gods.
Therefore, the gods take the initiative to create dangers and disasters, and then act as saviors to help humans when they are struggling and desperate.
In this way, people's faith can be harvested and believers' piety and love can be ensured.
I have to say.
This trick is really effective.
Within the sight of Xu Department, many people have chosen to join the Church of Gods, hoping to feel the power of gods more closely and become magicians who believe in gods.
"Perhaps this is also one of their purposes."
Xu Xi said.
His index finger tapped lightly on the armrest of the chair, causing a slight reverberation.
Faith Mage and Elemental Mage.
They can also release magic, but have completely different paths.
The source of a mage's power comes from the god he believes in. The mage has as many gifts as the gods give him.
Therefore, the highest point of this path is the demigod, and there is no way further.
Dependents cannot surpass their masters.
This is how the world works.
But elemental mages are different. Mages of this faction observe the world and understand the truth. They can ignite the divine fire in a true sense and exalt the authority of the world.
The gods seemed unwilling to have new gods born, so they used various obscure methods to promote the convenience of faith mages bit by bit and reduce the living space of elemental mages.
This way.
The gods can sit firmly on the clouds and overlook all living beings.
"If this is really the case, then you have to be more careful when you act in the future." Xu Xi clicked his tongue.
He had a gut feeling.
In this magical world, he is very likely to be the most powerful elemental mage. If his strength continues to improve, he will most likely attract the attention of the gods.
That kind of result was not what Xu Xi wanted to see.
He didn't want to wake up and find that he, who was just a great magician, had to face dozens or even hundreds of true gods.
I am beating the gods, is it true or false?
This scene was too funny and desperate, Xu Xi didn't want to face it at all.
"Ignorance is also a kind of happiness."
Xu Xi slowly stood up, stretched his waist on the spot, and looked through the window to see the streets outside full of excited believers of the gods.
The believers thought that the gods loved the world.
But in fact, the gods only love themselves.
Such lies, such carefully woven scams, cannot be said to be bad.
People provide faith, and the gods provide power. This is a mutually beneficial transaction.
Ninety-nine percent of people are destined to fail in the path of elemental mages. If they can exchange higher achievements from the gods with the fanaticism of faith, it would be a good thing.
If there is any price.
It is that from time to time, you need to be frightened to prevent yourself from becoming a victim of "miracles".
Like this time in the city of Allenson, the death toll of local citizens and supporting legion soldiers is close to one million, which is a pity.
"Beep--"
"Beep--"
The sound of steam hissing sounded.
A light mist filled the new house.
Krisa was walking towards them, and she started the steam equipment of the new house.
"Teacher, everything is ready, and there is nothing missing."
"Thank you for your hard work, Krisa."
Looking at the girl with long silver-gray hair, Xu Xi subconsciously looked at those eyes. Just like last time, the only thing he could see from them was Xu Xi's own figure.
"Let's go, I'll cook today."
"Eh...?"
The witch was a little surprised, but she still followed Xu Xi obediently.
As time passed, the home was no longer the home it used to be, and the surrounding environment was completely unfamiliar.
But because there was a familiar figure in front of him.
So he didn't feel scared.
On the way to the kitchen, Krisa also heard the crazy shouts from the outside world, blessing the gods.
She ignored it and followed her "god" step by step.
