The starting point is auspicious; the fiancée will not call off the engagement.
Chapter 82 The Arrogant Prodigy
"Arrogance? What does He want from me?"
Fang Zhou looked at Gluttony with some curiosity.
He had no connection with Pride at all, so why would Pride approach him?
Gluttony shook his head and sighed helplessly.
"You know that the battle you fought with the war has already been unleashed by Chaos, right?"
Fang Zhou nodded. He and Ye Ninghan took out the sacred stele and looked at it during their break.
The filming of Chaos was quite good, and they even thoughtfully added a mosaic, background music, and subtitles, making it quite exciting. Many fans gave it positive reviews.
"Is there a problem? Does arrogance also want to fight me?"
Fang Zhou shrugged indifferently; he hadn't used his full strength anyway.
If someone wants to come to his door and challenge him to a fight, he's happy to oblige, considering it a good workout.
Gluttony looked at Fang Zhou's indifferent expression and his expression became somewhat subtle.
"It might be a little different from what you think. Arrogance wants to learn from you how to be arrogant."
Huh? Do you want to hear what you're saying?
All I did was not use my full strength and defeat the enemy in one punch, right? Is that considered arrogance?
No, the key point is arrogance.
A god who sounds arrogant wants to learn from me?
Fang Zhou stared at Gluttony in shock. Were all the gods in this world this abnormal?
Seeing Fang Zhou's shocked expression, Gluttony looked helpless.
"Don't be fooled by His name. Pride is actually a very introverted god. This time, He was encouraged by Chaos to muster the courage to approach you."
Fang Zhou remained silent for a while, his expression gradually changing from shock to subtlety.
"Arrogant...introverted?"
"Yes, as you should know, we are born with responsibilities."
Gluttony sighed and explained to Fang Zhou,
"When we are still ignorant, duty guides us to understand the world. But pride is different; its duty ended before it was even born."
???
Fang Zhou was completely bewildered. Such a thing was possible?
As Gluttony continued to explain, Fang Zhou also understood why Pride had no sense of responsibility.
Unlike primordial deities such as Chaos, which are related to the laws of heaven and earth, concepts such as Pride and War arose from the development of living beings, so their emergence was later.
Before arrogance was born, a genius discovered the principle of the birth of the original gods and knew about their responsibilities.
Through that genius's research, he used a certain ritual to prove to heaven and earth that living beings had transcended the sin of pride.
From that moment on, pride, once born, was no longer guided by duty and could only exist aimlessly among living beings, unaware that it was a primordial god.
Later, he was found by that genius.
Because that genius thought he was wrong, that he denied the existence of divine responsibilities without recognizing their significance, and by the time he regretted it, it was too late.
"Wait a minute, aren't the duties of gods bestowed by the ruler? Why can they be denied so easily?"
Fang Zhou raised questions about Gluttony.
If it is a duty bestowed by the sovereign, then no matter how amazing that genius is, he should not be able to deny the duty of the gods.
"This is precisely the greatness of the ruler."
Gluttony smiled, glanced around, and sighed with emotion.
"The Sovereign allows living beings to relinquish the opportunities He provides. Regardless of the deity, their existence holds some significance for living beings. For example, Chaos, in the cities surrounding the Myriad Saints Sect, is known as an evil god, right?"
Fang Zhou nodded. After all, the duty of Chaos is to bring chaos and disrupt order, so it is naturally an evil god.
Seeing Fang Zhou nod, Gluttony smiled happily.
"What if I told you that in some places chaos is called the supreme god of goodness?"
"Really?"
Fang Zhou looked incredulous. How could that guy Chaos be called a benevolent god?
"I'm not lying. After all, you should know that there aren't many sects like the Ten Thousand Saints Sect."
Gluttony explained to Fang Zhou with a smile,
"It is true that chaos disrupts order and brings disorder, but not all order is good, such as some planets ruled by evil cultivators."
Mortals were raised like livestock, and those with even a little talent were skinned alive and refined into elixirs. Mortals had no power to resist; that too was an absolute order.
"So chaos disrupts this order, giving them hope?"
Fang Zhou nodded thoughtfully. It seemed that Chaos was not a purely evil god after all.
Gluttony calmly said to Fang Zhou:
"Therefore, once Chaos loses its duty, everything else must be overcome by living beings themselves. And because of the existence of spiritual energy, the weak may never have the chance to resist the strong."
Of course, if a living being wishes to relinquish such an opportunity, the Sovereign will not refuse, for it is the living being's own choice.
Fang Zhou was speechless. He realized that the duties of the gods had such an origin. He understood why that genius had regretted it.
"So that genius regretted it after realizing the significance of the 'Arrogance Duty'?"
Gluttony nodded.
"At that time, the genius was very excited after denying the existence of the duty of arrogance, and prepared to continue to deny the duties of other gods in the same way."
Then he discovered the terrible consequences of his arrogance: his sect was destroyed while he was away conducting research.
Because they arrogantly believed they had surpassed the gods, they waged war against them.
Fang Zhou was speechless for a moment, and touched Xiao Yue in his arms.
"Isn't this just plain stupid? What does it have to do with arrogance? They dare to start a war without understanding the difference in strength; don't they deserve it?"
"That's why that prodigy truly deserves to be called a world-shaking genius."
Gluttony smiled and continued to explain.
"At the moment of the sect's destruction, he realized that neither he nor the sect had overcome the test of arrogance, and that they were destroyed by their own self-righteousness."
So he regretted it. The duty of arrogance existed for a reason, but he no longer understood what that duty truly represented, until he rediscovered his own naive arrogance.
That day, the genius found the ignorant arrogance, who was still in a state of ignorance, but he already possessed power worthy of his name.
Those who possess power but lack arrogance are naturally used as tools for domination by the local creatures; whoever possesses arrogance is king.
When the genius found Pride, Pride was ruthlessly destroying the rebel army that was resisting the king.
When that genius stopped him, Arrogance did not resist, but simply looked at him calmly, without a trace of emotion in his eyes.
Later, that genius became a god, attempting to use this to increase his connection with the world and to restore Pride to its rightful place.
He did not succeed.
Fang Zhou looked at Gluttony, otherwise Gluttony wouldn't have come looking for him.
"Yes, he failed, and even transformed himself into a god, attempting to replace Pride in fulfilling His duties."
Binge eating is somewhat regrettable.
"Even this, he failed. In the end, he accomplished nothing except denying the duty of arrogance."
