The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 386: Zhengshen

The "Gallery" in Frozen Water Port has proven that if twisted nightmares are left alone, they will continue to grow and recover themselves.

According to the records of the Silver Jue Church, it is not completely impossible for nightmares to grow to the point where they directly affect reality.

The Silver Jue Church is completely powerless against the "gallery".

Nightmare is not a mechanism that can be solved by being "powerful". Although priests have great advantages in the field of nightmares compared to ordinary people... nightmares are still relatively fair to everyone.

No one can guarantee that they can purify a certain nightmare.

The final result is to send one person to sacrifice - that is, using human life as a consumable and using one's own erosion rate in exchange for more opportunities to see the full picture of the nightmare.

And try to constantly purify the nightmare and curb the expansion and growth of the nightmare...and this is the second phase of the task.

Annan couldn't help but ask: "In the end, no one wanted to go?"

"No, if we talk about preparations for sacrifice, many of them have already been made."

Alexander shook his head slightly and denied: "There are many bishops in the royal capital who have resigned. Either because they are too old or because the erosion is too high, they can no longer guard one side.

"However, they are always ready for the final sacrifice - as long as necessary, they can go to places and use their rich experience and last sense to pry into the most difficult and dangerous nightmare rules, or Just purify it."

"Just because, when Louis learned that someone needed help and someone had to put himself in danger...he was the first to sign up.

"Other than him, no one else from the Silver Hand has signed up. But this is beyond reproach, because the Pope did not intend to choose 'victims' from the Silver Hand. We have a rich 'reserve team' and even There is a respectable elder who has taken up his position near the frozen water port."

When Alexander said this, he sighed in a low voice with a very complicated tone: "But Louis...he is a very serious and well-behaved man. He comes from the heart and thinks that he needs to use his life to help. Others; thinking that he who is younger and has more sense to resist erosion can last longer than the old man. So he went.

"And I recognize...and respect his choice."

Annan remained silent for a long time after Alexander finished speaking.

He felt like something was surging in his heart...

But because of the interference of the Heart of Winter, Annan was still able to remain completely calm amidst the perpetual motion of this emotion.

"...That's it."

After a long time, Annan breathed out slowly: "I thought that with Sir Silver here, you wouldn't have any difficulties that you couldn't solve. My understanding of the gallery was wrong... I'm very sorry."

Hearing this, Alexander laughed heartily: "What's there to apologize for? You helped Louis purify this nightmare, I should thank you.

"And you are still too young, Your Highness Annan. What God knows may not be all correct..."

"...including Sir Silver?"

Annan hesitated for a moment before asking in a low voice.

After all, this is Noah's First Bank.

Sir Silver's highest church is located on the warehouse of the First Bank - the straight-line distance from here may be less than 500 meters.

Isn't it bad to let a Silver Knight speak ill of Silver Siren from such a distance?

But Alexander had no taboos.

He just waved his hand casually: "Of course, even Zhengshen is like this. Don't be so nervous. Even though you are not wearing that dress, I know that you are the one Yin Jue loves. And Yin Jue never cares about this. Kind of something."

Alexander looked at Annan and said teasingly: "Why, are you surprised to say such a thing to me?"

"...To be honest, I'm very surprised."

Annan nodded honestly.

The complex relationship between these clergymen and gods was not in line with his common sense.

Alexander just smiled and suddenly asked: "Your Highness Annan, do you think extraordinary people and mortals are the same species?"

"I think so."

Annan replied quickly.

"Isn't that okay?"

The uncle who gave people a reliable feeling laughed loudly: "Extraordinary people are just powerful and more noble mortals; and gods are just more powerful and more noble than extraordinary people.

"There are no natural gods in this world. Even the souls of righteous gods only rose from the earth a long, long time ago. It is normal for gods to lie, make mistakes, and get angry."

When Alexander said this, he glanced at Zhi Ji next to him.

Zhi Ji nodded, turned to look at Annan and said: "Annan, don't be too afraid of God, we were all mortals once."

"...Including the Twelve Righteous Gods?"

"Of course. The difference between true gods and obedient gods, and ordinary false gods, is just that we will never die - every year when our holy day comes, if we die, we will be reborn on that day. This That's what 'anniversary' means."

Zhi Ji slowly explained: "And not all true gods are necessarily stronger than false gods - they are powerful because their fields are important and they have survived for a long time, not because they are powerful and they are true gods.

"In addition to not needing to eat, drink, or sleep, having no lifespan constraints, being able to use the power of elements infinitely, and being able to empower believers, there is no essential difference between gods and powerful truth-level transcendent beings. ”

No, I think the difference is already huge...

Annan thought in his heart.

But a question that had been bothering him for a long time finally arose in Annan's mind at this moment.

In the presence of a senior Silver Knight and a follower, perhaps his doubts can be revealed:

"——So, why is Zhengshen the Zhengshen?"

Annan asked Zhiji: "What is the essential difference between real gods and false gods... Can you answer this question?"

"...Is this really the problem?"

"I also asked this question back then?" Annan suddenly understood.

"Yes. The first question you ever asked me about the gods was this. This knowledge is not a deep secret, nor is it too heavy. I should be able to tell you."

Zhi Ji made a rough assessment in her mind, silently filtered her words, and then slowly said: "Let's put it this way, Annan...

"——At least in the first era, there was no distinction between 'righteous gods' and 'false gods', and there was not even the term 'god'. Although by that time, the twelve righteous gods had already become gods. .

"At that time, in the language of the elves, they called the 'god' the 'lord', the centaurs called it the 'living pillar', the dragons called it the 'king', and the giants called it the 'elder'. '...and all changes occurred at the end of the First Era.

"The complete fall of a 'god' has led to the complete demise of the areas controlled by him in the world. In fact, the fall of gods has happened many times...each time it has resulted in some concepts being removed from the world. Complete erasure. But only that time was particularly serious.

"I can't tell you what concept has been erased. That knowledge is too heavy and your current soul cannot bear it...at least you won't be able to understand it until you reach the golden level and complete the perfect dyeing.

"You only need to know ~IndoMTL.com~ The race of demons was born at that time - because of the lack of a certain concept, 'humans' could become 'devils'. This led to the First Age The epochal disaster.

"In order not to repeat the same mistakes, later at the beginning of the Second Era, all the gods joined forces to arrange a huge ceremony. They divided the year into twelve parts, called 'December'. With the words that belong to time and history Power has preserved the twelve most important gods, ensuring that they will not really die, causing the realms related to them to collapse, and thus leading to the demise of the world or civilization.

"Following gods comes later. As the number of false gods increases, the number of very important gods that cannot die increases... After they are born, there will be true gods to invite them to become themselves. As a follower of God, share part of the power of rebirth with the other party, just in case.

"Except for the ability to be reborn in the long river of time, there is actually no difference between gods and false gods."

Zhi Ji concluded: "In other words, it is not because the Zhengshen are 'powerful' enough, but because they are 'important' enough.

"They are the twelve pillars that support the world... As long as they are still there, the world will not be destroyed."
