Whether it is the priests on the half-high platform, or the believers listening to the "theological debate" below, they suddenly have the feeling that their heads are not enough, what small world, what middle world, what big world, what immeasurable land, the number of sand of the Solna River, it is simply unheard of, unseen, even if they have never imagined it, but such a world structure, such a huge number makes people feel grandiose, and it is more and more set off the supremacy of the "God of Resurrection, Abundance and Redemption".
Ann Hughes, who was hiding in the corner, looked at Lucien and Francis blankly and muttered, "This is really the great El, how come I don't know each other" Francis looked at Lucien with an attitude of wanting to laugh and appreciate, obviously he couldn't help but laugh and endured a stomach ache and had to quietly give a thumbs up, talent, indeed talent, even if he can't be a real "disciple" in the future, he doesn't know how to play a musical instrument, and he will not bury his "outstanding ability" in this area to be a bard who specializes in telling stories and rumors, and he will inevitably become an epic character.
Norbu, who was on the other side, looked at Lucien, who was talking and laughing freely, and had a feeling that his imagination was crushed, and he couldn't brag about others, he was angry and angry, his body trembled, and he seemed to fall down with cerebral congestion at any time.
Although according to Lucian's ideas, it is still possible to arrange the small immeasurable land, the middle immeasurable land, and the large immeasurable land, and put the moon god above the god of El, so that there is no pressure to "blow" until this time next year, but in this way, even the uneducated believers below can see that this is purely copied from the power of the "resurrection god", except for a small number of die-hard people who are willing to believe, the vast majority of people will think that the moon god has no choice, and can only rely on retelling the words of the other party to find a sense of existence, and there is no doubt that they will lose the debate, It even gives the impression that it is deceiving from beginning to end, so that the only hope after being expelled from the valley is gone.
Similar thoughts appeared in the minds of the priests of the Lord of the Underworld, the god of thunder and lightning, the god of the sun and justice, who one by one frowned tightly and grimaced, trying to find a concept above the Leviathan worldview, but they all belonged to primitive religions, and even simple philosophies had not yet developed, and their imagination was limited by themselves and their times, so what to continue to "brag" about The priests of Mother Earth, Wisdom, Wind and Rain, and Eros, who had already lost the theological debate, looked at the priests of the other families with distorted schadenfreude expressions, and if they were to be expelled from the valley, they would be expelled together.
With a smile on his face, Lucien said leisurely: "Our Lord has opened up the immeasurable land, maintained the immeasurable land, destroyed the immeasurable land, and created a new immeasurable land out of destruction. ” It can really be exaggerated, and the priests such as Nobu racked their brains but couldn't think of anything, so they could only slander secretly.
"My lord has created a new paradise of eternal doom and eternal existence in this immeasurable land of life and death, and this is what I have just said about the salvation and eternal happiness of my brothers and sisters who truly believe in the Lord and sincerely repent, and our lord called it "Lucien originally wanted to use the Heavenly Mountain directly, but in this way, it was easy for Francis to see that it was inappropriate, so he forcibly changed his words, "Paradise, Elysium, or Pure Land of Bliss." ” The believers below continued to inhale and exclaim, not expecting that the god El, who was already so great that he would redeem himself and others, but this was consistent with Lucian's previous description, echoing back and forth, making people faintly willing to believe that the paradise really existed, as if the devout belief in the great "God of Resurrection, Abundance and Redemption" could really completely get rid of this world full of pain and depravity after death.
Sure enough, it is the god of salvation Norbu and the other priests were taken away, their faces were pale, and they wanted to refute but couldn't find a breakthrough, and Nena also narrowed her eyes slightly, as if she was deep in thought.
Suddenly, Nobu got up from the Silver Chair, took a step forward, and asked in a loud voice, "Leviathan, I ask you, what was the original state of the Immeasurable Land before your so-called god created the world, and what was the original state of the Paradise of the Extreme."
Lucien didn't expect him to be able to ask this key question, he was slightly stunned, and then woke up, because Nena's lips were squirming slightly, others might not be able to see it, but Lucien, who has the strength of a knight, couldn't find it.
It seems that the priests of the Lord of War could not sit still either.
"It is nothingness, it is chaos, it is the origin of space and time."
Lucien deliberately showed his flaws, and his performance was too much to arouse Francis's suspicions.
Norbuhaha laughed: "Then I ask you, where does nothingness come from, where does chaos come from, what is beyond nothingness, what is beyond chaos" He added in his heart that it was the great moon god.
The believers also wondered, yes, where did the nothingness come from, what was before the nothingness, what was beyond the nothingness, could it be a greater existence Francis's eyes lit up slightly when he heard this question, and he seemed to have finally found his rhythm, and after gesturing Lucien with his eyes, he stood up and said, "Beyond nothingness and chaos is the indescribable, that is, my lord."
"You can't describe what that is," Norb and the other priests laughed loudly.
Francis said very seriously: "Whether it is nothingness, chaos, or the origin of time and space, it is the definition of human beings, and the concept of human beings is within the imagination of human beings, but the existence of our Lord transcends all definitions, all meanings, all causes and effects, all concepts, all matter, all spirits, and all languages, so it cannot be described and cannot be described." ” Ah, this is even more terrifying and incomprehensible than the worldview of "Leviathan" just now, whether it is Nobu and other priests, or Nena in the back, they all look sluggish.
Francis smiled: "I come from the land of the desert to the east, and one of our famous wise men, Lucien Evans, once expounded on this profoundly" Lucien the Wise Evans Lucien almost squirted, but fortunately he forcibly held back.
Nena, Norbu and other priests and believers were stunned and wondered if the greatness of the god Elr had already enveloped the east "He said that our observation of things is limited by our physical and spiritual conditions, and we can only get a partial understanding, for example, the light in front of us is actually colorful, but we can't see anything, and we can only occasionally discover the original appearance of light with the help of water or bubbles, so our understanding is human, mortal, and the definitions, our logic, and our imagination are all mortal, and mortal definitions, meanings, and logic certainly cannot describe the truly great existence, that is, our Lord."
"Therefore I say that our Lord transcends all definitions, all meanings, all causes and effects, all concepts, all matter, all spirits, all languages, neither nothingness nor nothingness, which are real and imaginable that you can understand, and it is blasphemy to forcibly understand the existence of God by the definition of mortals."
As soon as such a concept came out, Nena, Nobu and other priests seemed to have been spiritually cleansed, and it turned out that their previous understanding of God was so superficial, and they were using the mortal mind to depict the existence of transcendence, but their own gods who were often holy, silvery, and hedonistic, as if they did not meet the definition of gods except for power.
Lucien also stood up and smiled gently: "My Lord is both being and non-existent, both nothingness and non-nothingness, and cannot be described by the concepts of caste, difference, shape, time and space, limitation, subjectivity, cause and effect, etc., He is essentially beyond them, and does not need to be believed, nor does it need worship. ” "But we human beings need faith, we need salvation, so our perception of the true Lord is conceptually manifested on the next level as the great God of resurrection, abundance, and redemption, who is the embodiment of the true Lord, and they are two in one."
"We only need to worship and believe in the God of resurrection, abundance, and redemption, and engage in pious repentance to be saved.
We cannot understand and describe the true Lord, nor does the true Lord need our understanding and description, we cannot have an impact on the true Lord, and the true Lord does not try to influence the world. ” Francis agrees with the fact that Leviathan's ability to construct a philosophical two-inity of "the true Lord and the Lord's incarnation in the material and spiritual worlds" based on his preceding simple statement is a theological genius that is truly outstanding, but it is still too complex to be missionary.
"Isn't there anything else he's weird, though?"
thought Francis, his eyes flickering slightly.
Lucien said this, smiling inwardly, he was not affected by the world, nor would he affect the world, and it was meaningless to even discuss whether he existed or not, from the point of view of Occam's razor principle, there was no need to exist at all, there was no difference between him and him.
If such a being represents God, then it is fair to say that "the gods are dead".
And whatever has had an impact will inevitably leave traces and will be able to be explored and explained.
After listening to Lucian's expression, the low-level believers who were confused by Francis's description probably understood that it was right to believe in the "God of Resurrection, Fertility and Redemption" anyway, and he was very hard behind the scenes Nena, the High Priest of the Lord of War, could no longer find a question to refute, and her whole body exuded a cold feeling, and her right hand was clenched into a fist, which seemed to symbolize that the Lord of War was not good at "verbal" fighting, but could obliterate the enemy from both physical and spiritual aspects.
Lucien suddenly sensed that Francis's gaze was different, and he understood that he had shown too much and aroused suspicion, so he smiled quietly: "Don't try to spy and understand the real Lord, then you will be infected by the infinite unknown and transcendence, and become an indescribable monster, entangled by eternal pain." ” Phew, the believers and priests who were still thinking about Lucian's words just now subconsciously stopped thinking about this, this is too terrifying However, on second thought, it seemed that this was what truly great beings should be, which was very much in line with their past perceptions Francis shook his head slightly, "he" still can't get rid of the intimidating concept of primitive religion, and he can't get rid of the limitations of his surroundings, he has no talent but falls into vulgarity, but the idea and concept seem to be quite good Farther away, looking closely at El here, his eyes were violently jumping but gentle and quiet, with the smell of purification, he was extremely confused and said to himself: "This, is this me?"
"I, I'm so great":
