Chapter 211 Approaching the Gods (Thirty-three)

"If you are a fictional person, and the people in this city are also fictional, then where is the real belief?" Liu Sheng asked in return, "The real Supreme God will not receive these beliefs. Only the fictional God of this world can. In other words, there is no real God in this world at all, just a bunch of codes."

The old priest didn’t know what code was, but he understood the previous words and finally understood why Liu Sheng said that what he believed in was not the true Supreme God.

The statue of the Supreme God in his heart collapsed, but he still said stubbornly: "This is your mission. Why are you pursuing the truth here?"

[Yes, why? ]

[It's just an exam, just complete the task...]

Why do I have more and more things to think about?

[Why do you have to do so many unnecessary things when you can just follow the routine? ]

[Logically speaking, if you have gained faith, you don't need to care about them. Why do you need to repair the fields, set up schools, and build new temples to accommodate refugees? ]

Liu Sheng also had different opinions in his mind.

[Because, there is a part of me that empathizes with them...]

[Maybe because we are one with the world? I don’t know, maybe that’s the reason.]

[The beginning of the world was also like this, so can we really think that these people are not real people? ]

[Strange sympathy...]

【Some kind of respect for digital life. 】

Liu Sheng, who had achieved logical consistency and collective consensus, became a little different.

The old priest thought that what he said would shake Liu Sheng's determination, but it strengthened her heart instead, and the divine light emanating from her body became even more holy.

What exactly is this heretical god?
His determination to pursue the Dao was somewhat shaken.

"Of course, you did come into contact with the real Supreme God. That was when you reported me. Only at that moment were you and the Supreme God connected."

Liu Sheng saw that the old priest looked like his faith had collapsed and his determination to follow the Tao was shaken. Although he didn't know why, he still kindly reminded him.

Anyway, it's almost the end, so it's good to let him be satisfied.

[Maybe it's because you would be happy if you saw your idol before you die, right? ]

Thinking of this, the fragments in the old priest's heart shook and piled up into the shape of a statue.

"But you are special. You are the backup plan left by the Supreme God when he set up this world. Except for you, no one can touch the real boundary of the Supreme God. Do you want them to believe in an illusory existence?" Liu Sheng's words were sharp and piercing. "You use such a perfect fictional identity to cheat people's faith value?"

When the old priest heard what Liu Sheng said, he sneered: "Isn't your Earth Mother the same? Does she really exist? What's the difference between her and the Supreme God? She is just trying to cheat for her own faith points."

Liu Sheng listened to the old priest's response coldly, then shook his head: "It's different."

"What's the difference?" The old priest said in an aggressive tone. He looked less and less like the old man he used to be. "You let these people believe in the Earth Mother just for your own sake!"

Before Liu Sheng responded, the little tentacles behind him were ready to move, wanting to "descend" to prove the miracle.

The basement door slammed open.

One person rushed in excitedly and shouted, "It's different! Mother Earth is different!"

Liu Sheng and the high priest looked at the person who came, and it was the priest of dawn.

At this moment, her dark and thin face turned red, and the corners of her mouth drooped in dejection.

It turned out that she had been eavesdropping outside, and was obviously very angry about the old priest's accusation, so she couldn't help but rush in.

"I'm sorry, High Priest, I didn't follow your instructions." The Dawn Priest looked at Liu Sheng apologetically.

The old priest was stung by this title. It was him who was once called that by Dawn, but now the respect and admiration had completely shifted.

"It's okay, this house is yours, and you would have heard our conversation anyway." Liu Sheng expressed his understanding.

"Yeah, this damn basement is part of your Dawn, hehe."

"Congratulations, after following the heretic, you will have a house, a position, and face." The old priest said with sarcasm, and it was obvious that he was quite disgusted with the fact that the Dawn Priest, who was a priest of the Supreme God, chose to rebel.

"I'm not doing this for these. Although the house is very important to me, this is not the main reason why I chose to follow Lady Mother Earth." The Dawn Priest explained awkwardly.

"What else could it be for?" The old priest looked coldly at his former subordinate. He thought he was obedient and hardworking, and he kept the temple in order. But in the end, he betrayed him without any hesitation, so cruel and cold-blooded.

"I... I want to find the meaning of existence." The Dawn Priest thought for a while before speaking.

The old priest finally understood after hearing this, and turned to ask Liu Sheng: "Oh, you told her the truth a long time ago?"

Liu Sheng shook his head: "No, I just unlocked the lock. She figured it out herself."

"I have always found it strange. Why am I busy in the temple every day? What am I doing for?" The Dawn Priest thought, "How did I get here? Where did I come from? Why do I believe in the Supreme God..."

“So many questions and no answers.”

"At that time, I was making snacks in the kitchen with the sweet potatoes sent by the Earth Mother Priest. This was not my daily task, but I suddenly felt an incomparable joy in my heart. This was a joy that was so real that I had never felt before."

"I suddenly realized why I hadn't been doing this before, and I couldn't remember when I started liking it."

The Dawn Priestess's thoughts were in a mess, but she was trying hard to express her thoughts bit by bit.

"Also, I can't remain indifferent to the fact that the people in the city have been displaced and their families have been separated because of strange things. I'm very surprised why the Supreme God we believe in didn't act in time."

The old priest frowned and said, "What are you talking about? The Supreme God is the only one who can solve the weirdness!"

"Really? Where does this reliance lie?"

The Dawn Priest looked at Liu Sheng and gave him a rare gentle smile.

"I only see the Earth Mother Priestess working hard to save the people, running around every day. I see all of this."

"No, when she was working hard, wasn't she holding the holy sword and holy water I gave her? This is all the power from the Supreme God. Without the power of the Supreme God, how could she be where she is today?"

The old priest retorted unwillingly, his teeth clenched in excitement and veins bulged on his forehead.

“No, although the power comes from the Supreme God, it is she who works hard for the people…” The Dawn Priest shook his head and said, “Perhaps I don’t understand the divine book well enough. I can only see that the Supreme God who promised to save the world has never come. Instead, the Earth Mother has been guiding the Earth Mother Priest to rescue the people trapped in the strange world…”

"The Supreme God did not descend because she was not pious enough to trigger the descent of God!" The old priest argued hard.

Only then did Liu Sheng know for sure that a god would descend, and he was a little surprised.

However, if piety is a prerequisite, perhaps those candidates who rely on spiritual communication to practice can naturally meet this condition, but she really can't do it.

"So we have to give up our devout faith first before we will receive help?" Liu Sheng asked.

"What's so strange about this? It is written in the divine book." The old priest said as a matter of course.

In fact, she also knew that these were clearly written in the divine book.

But she felt that this logic was too bandit-like.

She wasn't someone who really understood theology or faith, so she couldn't tell me what was wrong with it.

Fortunately, she was not the only one who felt uncomfortable with this. The Dawn Priest was full of doubts: "This is exactly what I have been wondering when reading the divine book. Why can't we obtain salvation first and then believe spontaneously?"

"Why do you force us to believe first before you can save us?" The Dawn Priest shook his head. "I think it's wrong. It's very wrong."

The old priest was suddenly speechless when he heard this.

Because he didn't know how to explain this matter, he just knew that this was the setting of God's descent.

But is the setting correct?

He wasn't sure anymore.

There are so many theories about faith, and everyone has different experiences. What I express here is just a reflection under this situation...
