Chapter 133 Faith and God
Chapter 133 Faith and God
The map clearly showed that Tian Zhen was currently in a remote port in the southeastern corner of the continent, called Wudujiao Bay. This port was geographically remote, but possessed unique advantages. It sat at the mouth of the Misha River, a river of abundant water that nourished the vast plains and brought prosperity to Wudujiao Bay.
Traveling upstream along the Misha River towards the center of the continent, you'll arrive at the renowned Elven Forest. This vast forest has been home to the elves for generations, and legend has it that it hides countless ancient magics and ancient trees that guard the elves' secrets.
Continuing north along the Misha River, past the rolling Div Mountains, lies the capital of the human kingdom. Every territory in the human empire is relatively close to the sea, with the exception of Xingbuli and the Datan Plains. The entire empire, as depicted on the map, resembles an eagle with its wings spread, only inverted.
To the south of the Elf Forest lies the fortified walls of the Dwarven Kingdom. Dwarves are renowned for their forging prowess and unwavering character, and their kingdom, filled with ancient mines and majestic stone buildings, stands in stark contrast to the Elf Forest.
North and west of the Elven Forest lies a region of chaotic power, a realm unrecognized by the human kingdom. Passing through this chaotic zone and continuing northward, one arrives at the snow-capped plains and towering snow-capped mountains. Here, the snow is perpetually thick and the cold is biting, leaving only a few hardy creatures able to survive. Legend has it that deep within the snowy mountains lies the lair of an ancient dragon.
To the south of the border between the Dwarven Kingdom and the Human Kingdom lies a series of islands. These islands are known as the dragon's territory, and are said to be home to various types of dragons.
Looking at the map, the geographical location of the human empire here is very 'good', and it is surrounded by various races.
Tian Zhen came here with no intention of changing the place. He just came here to travel and see new things. He didn't feel any sense of belonging here. Naturally, he would not interfere with the balance of power here.
After making the plan, Tian Zhen planned to go to the capital of the human kingdom first to see the scenery there. After paying several gold coins, Tian Zhen left Udu Cape Bay through the magic teleportation array here.
Tian Zhen observed the magic circles here. Although the patterns were different, the meaning of balance was the same, just like the words in different languages describing something. Just like banana and bulala.
As his body began to turn into light, Tian Zhen instantly felt the coordinates of another space. Without resistance, he followed the rhythm and came to a very prosperous place. He seemed to be in a huge and vibrant city, with towering buildings rising from the ground. Their outlines were not the ordinary Chinese symmetrical beauty, but full of streamlined curves.
The building's exterior is like a giant shell meticulously carved, smooth and layered, with distinct ridges and depressions. The roof lacks the usual ridge, but instead uses smooth arcs to create a unique shape.
Accustomed to appreciating Chinese-style architecture, Tian Zhen felt an inexplicable sense of pleasure when he switched to another Western European aesthetic.
Following the flow of people, Tian Zhen used the universal storage device to quietly observe places that ordinary people were not allowed to visit. This allowed him to see the guilds of various professions, such as warriors, thieves, archers, mages, etc.
Tian Zhen also "visited" the church's chapel, and saw and heard the light on the statue through the universal storage.
After several days of careful observation, I discovered that this was a relatively successful "god-making project." While not a true god, it was a deity similar to a divine soul. It was a deity portrayed by the divine souls of many individuals, but in a sense, or for the individual divine souls, it was a god.
Describing a god is actually very simple. It is actually a belief, a filtered belief that is divided into ordinary believers, believers and fanatics, representing three types of activity groups.
The first type is the common believer, a widespread group who believe in the faith to a certain degree, muttering a few words during moments of joy or sorrow, but without interfering with their lives. The second type is generally church members; these individuals are the core of the faith, spreading it. The third type is the fanatic, the core of the core, the soul of the church, maintaining the purity and unity of the faith. Each fanatic depicts a different image of God, and this difference reflects the scope of their belief in the God they believe in.
These three types of people are like the three balances of essence, energy and spirit. They use the religious emotions such as "Merlin's beard" that ordinary people chant when they are extremely happy or sad as essence, the sense of identity of church believers as energy, and the religious objects in the consciousness concepts of fanatics as spirit and soul.
This concept of consciousness is actually very similar to the language and text that everyone agrees on, but the concept of consciousness of belief in God is more three-dimensional and easier to achieve a resonant closed loop in group consciousness. It is like all the memories of a person, in which there is a concept of "I", and there are differences, so a pseudo-closed loop of resonance balance is achieved.
The character of a god is entirely determined by the image portrayed by its fanatics, so these followers are specially trained. However, if any link in this process goes wrong, the consequences can be devastating, just like the giant ancient tree that was mistaken for a wishing tree.
This conscious cultivation of a pseudo-god in control cannot be said to be against nature. It can only be said that Tian Zhen cannot appreciate it. Although he looks down on the system formed by excessive interference in life consciousness, how can a fish understand the joy of being a fish?
Whether shaped by others or born naturally in the natural environment, life consciousness has an "I". Life will find its own path, and consciousness will eventually recognize its own identity.
The reason why Tian Zhen looked down on it and even hated it was nothing more than that the cultivators had a history of doing this, possessing the body! This kind of thing was considered to be hovering on the edge of the bottom line.
Tian Zhen has observed many "gods" from different sects, covering all aspects of life, and some have completely become gods. The god Tian Zhen observed was called the God of Light. His soul was no longer in this universe. The light condensed on the statue was like a calm lake, and it had no reaction to changes in the outside world, like a vegetative person.
But Tian Zhen could feel that this was more like a coordinate, the coordinate of this world space, the coordinate terminal, that is, the terminal of the coordinate of every believer's soul.
It seems that the existence that is aware of itself and actively seeks changes in the outside world can completely break free from the influence of cognition and give itself Ragnarok. Then, it can leave this world and become a true god.
The ancestors who overcame the tribulation and ascended to heaven were also expelled from this world and this universe.
This made Tian Zhen very curious. The main terminal and the sub-terminal are interdependent and connected with a certain resonance. If Tian Zhen imagines a world himself, among countless possibilities, he can find a world that knows himself and has a certain understanding of himself, then can he find such a world through the world anchor without becoming a god?
