About a week later, Luo Songxi received a letter from Ivelan.In the letter, Ivelan scolded him as a noob in a word, and asked him why he didn't tell her about such an important thing when he was in West Star City?
Ask him if he knows the meaning of the power of faith, and does he understand the nature of the event that the power of faith represents?
Of course, Luo Songxi didn't know or didn't understand.Before that, he had only heard the term power of faith."
What is the power of faith?"
He asked 77.77 has not appeared for quite a long time.Ever since 77 pressed down on that three-year mission of cultivating to Legend, she had become more and more unstable.According to 77, as she began to develop a growing sense of self and was being suppressed by the on-chip regulatory process, she had to put her full mind on confronting it.So in recent months, 77 has not even been able to form a reaction after Luo Songxi called her.Only when 77 temporarily suppressed the regulatory process, he took the initiative to contact Luo Songxi.But even if the regulatory process is temporarily suppressed by her, it won't be long before it returns, and 77 will fall silent again.Today is exactly 77 hours online."
The power of faith, hehe, this is complicated."77 responded, "Master, let me ask you first, what do you think of Shendi?"
”"Shendi......"
Luo Songxi couldn't answer for a while, "That's a kind of metaphysics......
"In Tia's side, especially in this era of science and technology, "gods" generally refer to strong people who break through the limits of life, and those ancient gods handed down in mythology have long only existed in mythological stories, and no one really believes in their existence."
But in fact, Shendi is not metaphysics, and the generation of primordial gods is also completely in line with the laws of the universe."77 said."
It's too obscure to talk about pure theory, I'll give you an analogy.For example, in the process of planting crops, human beings hope to obtain a good harvest, so they pray to the existence of the underworld to be able to adjust the wind and rain, and this existence in the underworld is called the god of harvest. ”"One day, this underworld being gave birth to the Spirit of Chaos, which used the spiritual power of the believers to leverage the power of the laws of nature to influence the weather and ensure the growth of crops and thus obtain a good harvest."
As a result, more believers prayed to the God of the Harvest for a better survival, and the ability of the Chaos Spirit increased, allowing them to respond to the prayers of more believers, thus entering a positive cycle.When this chaos spirit's ability reaches the level of a god, it truly becomes the god of harvest. ”Luo Songxi listened in a fog, and he asked incredulously77, "Are you sure that if you explain a mythical story with an obscure theory, it will become true?"
Is there a real thing that resembles the god of weather?
”"Master, you are blaspheming when you say that.The spiritual power of the believers collectively resonates and collides, generating chaotic consciousness, producing a life form with spiritual power as the body, and then cultivating into a god through faith, which is the law of creation. ”"To a certain extent, my consciousness is also based on such a law, but what collides is data and calculation, so I can't form a spiritual body, and I can't collect the power of faith to become a god.""
Besides, you are also a person who has seen black magic, and black magic is the best proof of the existence of primordial gods.The essence of black magic is to ask the primordial gods to borrow their powers. ”"That blood ritual in Tartar Town is to pray to the god of shadows who can pry the laws of space to borrow its power.""
But what does this have to do with the power of faith?""
The spiritual power of the believers to believe in their faith and to give when they ask is the power of faith."77 said, "But the point is that the power of faith not only helps the Chaos Spirits to attain Godhead, but can also be acquired and used by all beings, becoming a shortcut to their entry into the divine ranks." ”"A shortcut?""
Yes, understanding and mastering a law is the threshold of stepping into the god level, which is a common principle in all planes.But how can the law be so easy to grasp thoroughly?
In most planes, because of the lack of exercises that directly point to the Great Dao of the Law, no one can step into this threshold at all. ”"Then, there is a shortcut to take - as long as there is a strong enough spiritual power to support, you can also leverage the power of the law and have the ability of the god level.However, the cultivation of one's own spiritual power may not be easier than comprehending the law, so it is the easiest way to let one's spiritual power resonate with the spiritual power of the believers and use the power of faith to pry the law. ”"Oh, I remember, you said that becoming a god like this will have great side effects, such as becoming dementia or something.""
Yes, the resonance with the spiritual power of many believers for many years will gradually lose their sense of self-thinking over a long period of time.This is not the right path to becoming a god, which is why Professor Flopp 'does not understand the law, does not enter the divine level'. ”But most of the strong could not resist the temptation to become gods, so the power of faith became precious.You can imagine that there are only so many people in one plane, and in order to win over as many believers as possible, many planes will try to marginalize the primordial gods, and the same is true for your plane?
”"Marginalize the primordial gods?""
Yes, through generation after generation of missions, the people are convinced that myths are all fiction and that primordial gods do not exist."77 said, "In this way, the strong may become gods of the world by establishing sects and gathering the power of faith for their own use." ”"In this way, the gods are real, but the strong can erase their existence?"
Luo Songxi felt deeply shocked, this was simply a subversion of what he had known since childhood."
Yes, I think the Elven Rangers forbade the dark arts, because they were afraid that the power of the dark arts would be too great and uncontrollable, but in fact, it was also to prevent the primordial gods from having the opportunity to show miracles."77 continued.Especially in a plane like Tiamen, where the Divine Word has been basically lost, even if the strong can gather the power of faith, they cannot respond to the prayers of the believers, and can only keep the believers in faith by doing something specific in reality.In this way, the collection of the power of faith is even more inefficient, and they will not allow the primordial gods to share the power of faith. ”Such a plane secret 77 said casually, but Luo Songxi was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time.These secrets almost subverted his long-standing perception that faith was not pure, that the gathering of believers was only a source of power, and that the rejection of Shendi by science was only the source of monopoly power......
Forget it, these things are still a little too far away from you.Luo Songxi returned her attention to Ivelan's letter.Ivelan also mentioned two things in the letter, one is that according to the information provided by the Elven Rangers, the turtles are from the Imperial Rhino Horn Peninsula, and the person in charge behind the scenes is very likely to be the Imperial Jinghai Hou West, who commands the Imperial Navy on the Rhino Horn Peninsula.The Grey Group is in collusion with the Imperials, and the UNSC has raised the danger level of this organization to the highest level.At the same time, Ivelan reminded Luo Songxi not to let anyone know about his relationship with this gray-clothed organization, otherwise he might encounter unpredictable dangers.Reading this, Luo Songxi felt quite warm in his heart.Another thing, also according to the Elven Rangers, the role of the blood sacrifice ritual is to open the portal to the prehistoric ruins located in the Dwarven Continent in advance.Everland emphasized that while this sounded unbelievable, even Hepsius had said that he could do nothing about the barrier that shrouded the ruins, but the Elven Rangers emphasized the truth of this claim.At the same time, the Elven Rangers speculate that West's preparation for this dark magic took a long time and cost a lot, which proves that there is still something of great value in the prehistoric ruins that has not yet been taken out—most likely something more valuable than what has been found in the ruins before.The natural opening hours of the prehistoric ruins are in the next year.There is a good chance that one or two places for the Federation to explore prehistoric ruins will go to students in special training schools.Ivelane tells Songxi that if he can get a spot, it's best to explore and find out what West wants.At the same time, she reminded Luo Songxi that West was also likely to take action again during the natural opening of the prehistoric ruins, so it was important to be extremely careful."
But you little rookie doesn't know any magic at all, and you have little hope of getting a place, so let's think too much."
At the end of the letter, she said:Luo Songxi remembered that Old John had mentioned the prehistoric ruins before the decisive battle with the Grey-robed Man, but he didn't know that the source of the Elven Ranger actually came from Old John."
What are the prehistoric ruins?"
Luo Songxi asked 77.However, 77 did not know much about the things that were unique to Tia's face, and she suggested that Rosong Creek find an opportunity to ask Professor Flopp or Professor Magni.But before he could find a chance to consult the two professors, Leonardo came to find him."
General Wei Tiancheng is coming."
Leonardo said to him.………… A few days later, the combined forces of the Northern Military Region of the Federation and the Dwarven Kingdom were once again frustrated in the autumn offensive of Blackstone Mountain, and more than 3,000 soldiers could no longer return to their homes in the Federation.Countless citizens of the Federation took to the streets of major cities to express their anti-war sentiment, which had swelled to the extreme, with marches and rallies.One of the most striking was the influx of 450,000 young people into a small town called Woodstock, north of Fort St.
John.They hold gatherings here and enjoy crazy musical performances together.They are unbridled on drugs, alcohol, and sex on the lawn.At the end of the three-day music rally, everyone sang their famous anti-war song with the band Bumblebee: "Give Peace a Chance" "All you need to do is give Peace a Chance......
The Federal Post, while avoiding coverage of the Woodstock Festival, ran a front-page interview with young Builders lawmaker Lucy Wilde King.In the interview, Congressman Lucy called on all parties to sit down at the negotiating table with reason and restraint to end this senseless war as soon as possible.At the same time, the congressman said that he would not be afraid to go to Blackstone Mountain to meet with the rebels in the most sincere way if the Federation needed it.The headline of the report, in bold: Give Peace a Chance.Leonardo began to build momentum for Councilor Lucie, which meant that his meeting with General Wei Tiancheng, the number two man in Blackstone Mountain, was finally about to begin after a year of delay.There are four days left until the New Year of the 125th year of the Federal Republican calendar.
