Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 340 Faith and Gods

After a long silence, one of them said:

"The glass business of the Leviathan family..."

The person who knelt down to pray just now should also be the leader of the group, and said in a sad tone:

"There is no other way, if we want to continue the glory of the Leviathan family, we can only help inherit their glass business.

I will change my youngest son's name to Leviathan and help them keep the business going. "

The others did not express any objection to his apparent robbery.

Ohgami thought at the time that other people besides the leader must have had a similar experience—they must have used this method to obtain the property of other Spring God believers.

The leader's tone was very slow, the dim light in the basement concealed the hostility in his words, even the people around the long table could hardly hear the sharp part of his words:

"We must ensure a sufficient supply of the blood food that Spring God needs."

He said seriously:

"But we can't go on sacrificing our remaining brothers and sisters."

Everyone nodded in response.

He continued: "The God of Spring needs new roots to absorb more nutrients from the ground to survive the long winter."

Ogami could understand that his so-called "long winter" did not mean the real winter, but the end for Spring God.

The man glanced at everyone's face: "The God of Spring needs new believers, and they will give everything for his survival, just as we have done."

Only when these words were said, the faces of the people around the rectangular table were more or less embarrassing.

"Big root."

One of them called him a strange title, with hesitation between his words:

"Except for us Aiir people, other races have never seen the God of Spring at all... they can't even see his great deeds, how can they serve him sincerely?"

The leader known as "Big Pangen" looked at him and replied:

"You might as well put it this way: Even if new believers can really see the God of Spring from our memories, they will no longer be able to benefit from the God of Spring who has been degraded, so why should they believe in the God of Spring?"

Everyone lowered their heads subconsciously.

It's a constant concern of all of them.

People are realistic, especially in an empire with a large enough population, no one will give loyalty to a god who cannot give benefits, even if that god really represents the beauty that people once recognized-goodness cannot make people hungry, Nor can people resist the severe cold of winter.

People yearn for something more practical. If they believe in a certain god, they hope to be rewarded when they chant the name of the god-they want to get something for nothing, even if they don't have the concept of "getting something for nothing" in their hearts.

Da Pangen said to everyone:

"Brothers and sisters."

He scanned everyone's face with his eyes, and then said firmly:
"The world has never witnessed the great deeds of the God of Spring, because the God of Spring is not an evil god. He insists on the way of nature. During the countless years when his godhead was still alive, he never used divine power as a temptation to mortals, but just silently bless us.

Even when our race betrayed Him and assisted foreign countries to tear His flesh and blood, He also regarded flesh and blood as a gift, and he never resisted, but only showed mercy. "

He looked at everyone:

"The God of Spring has given us everything, how can we let him fall like this?"

His tone gradually became passionate:
"Those damned Germanic people dug up the roots of Spring God and cut off his source of life—the Germanic people took our brothers and sisters, took them into factories that would eat people, and put They hid in squalid basements in the lower quarters of the cities of the empire, and made them sleep every night in hunger and disease."

"Before Chunshen was downgraded, whenever Al's brothers and sisters fell asleep in pain, Chunshen gave them his life to fill their stomachs so that they could sleep in the midst of hunger and cold."

"As a result, Chunshen's flesh and blood are exhausted, and his divine power is no longer there."

"But we must remember what Chunshen looked like when we were at the Al Ranch."

Everyone said in unison:
"The Spring God protects the Aiir and their pastures, as a merciful father protects his offspring."

He finished speaking with everyone in unison, his eyes sinking:
"The God of Spring is too merciful.

As His believers, we keep Him within us so that His life may continue.

But we don't have any more beliefs to support His life. Even if we devour ourselves, it will only delay His death.

Without faith as nourishment, the rest of his life will be exhausted until he disappears completely. "

He looked around again.

"We must help him, help him gain new converts—

His greatness is in our bodies, and we can personally demonstrate his greatness to new believers. "

There is incitement in his words:

"We want to be as tyrannical as the believers of the evil gods in the empire, and we don't even hesitate to turn the beautiful relationship between gods and mortals into a transaction.

We will thus get fresh tree roots, and let those roots take root and sprout on the land of the empire, absorb the nutrients here to strengthen ourselves, and then completely purify the entire empire! "

His impassioned speech nearly pierced Ogami's eardrums:

"We will have an infinite number of believers!
They will be the roots of Spring God, and Spring God will be reborn in the empire!

His belief will become the basic law supporting the continuous fertility of this land, and He himself will once again stand on the earth! "

He scanned everyone again:

"And we."

He solemnly said:

"We are His warriors! His missionaries! We will be the beginning of Spring God's great recovery!"

The atmosphere in the basement became heated, because Da Pangen's words broke the shackles in everyone's hearts.

Everyone present knew that the belief of Spring God was easy to spread:
The divine power of the Spring God can cure diseases, expel pain, relieve aging, and even activate certain body parts that have lost their functions.

Everyone has never used the divine power of the Spring God at will before, because the matter of "using divine power to interfere with the world" is something only evil gods of the heretics would do.

They are the noble descendants of the God of Spring, free people from the northern pastures, and they never bothered to use the method of the evil god to develop believers.

This does not delay them from being greedy for the way the evil gods spread their beliefs in this land - exchanging divine power for allegiance. This fast and convenient way far exceeds the "influence people with freedom and beauty" that Spring God has always insisted on.

Now, Big Packing apparently found them a pretty good reason.

This reason is enough for them to fight hard - even if this reason has violated Chunshen's original intention, so what?Chunshen has been asleep for many years—it has been a full ten years, and no Aiel has heard Chunshen's voice again.

When they collected enough beliefs and extended enough roots for the God of Spring, even if they were punished by the God of Spring and turned into corpses, and buried in the soil at the feet of the God of Spring to become fertilizer, their lives would not be in vain.

Just when everyone was elated to solve a big problem, a discordant voice appeared:

"The god of spring was born of the belief of the Aiur people."

It was a woman next to Gottlinde who was speaking. She was shorter than the average Aiel, and her red hair was lighter than the other Aiel present.

Her discordant voice immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"If we change our pure belief, even if Spring God can be reborn, is he still the original Spring God?"

Gotlinde's complexion changed, she quietly pulled the woman, but the woman did not stop speaking.

"Spring God followed the brothers and sisters of the Ayre people to the empire and walked on the land of the empire.

He has seen what happened to the Ayre people, and he must know the future of the Ayre people.

His final decision to distribute Himself as blood food to all is a decision He has already made. "

The woman's voice trembled when she spoke, and her tone was not as forceful as Da Pangen's, but she still said these words, even though she knew what the consequences of these words would be.

Gottlinde seems to have a good relationship with women, in order to protect women, he hastily explained to Da Pangen:
"Atana didn't mean that."

Da Pangen's complexion is already very bad:
"So, Atana, what do you want to express? Do you want us to watch Chun Shen die completely?"

He looked at Atana's face with sadness in his eyes:
"Think about our pasture, Atana, where it was originally fertile and spring-like all year round.

But after the spring god left, our pasture was frozen by bitter cold snow, almost all the crops were frozen to death, and the roots of the big trees were frozen in the permafrost.

Even if those of us don't want to come to the empire, we can't continue to live on the ranch. "

Da Pangen's tone gradually became strict:

"We must live, Atana, we must live with Chunshen, compared with those big forces in Yanan City, we are only the difference between going ashore first and going ashore later, but they have already mastered everything—— Money, power, fame...

They acquired everything that the Spring God didn’t care about, and took away the followers of the Spring God, making the ignorant Ayre people abandon the belief of the Spring God, and instead believe in money, power, and fame..."

Da Pangen looked into Atana's eyes:

"Do you think this is right? Atana, believers and their gods can only be lambs to be slaughtered? Can't even resist?"

Atana said with an ugly face:

"In this way... if we do this, even if Spring God gains new believers, even if the faith given by those believers can make him regain the godhead, it will no longer be Spring God's godhead.

That will be...

A new god with the body of the God of Spring filled with the vision of a new generation of believers! "

Da Pangen's complexion is worse than hers, and the deep seriousness only needs to add a little bit of anger to become fierce:
"Only those who are in awe can witness His great deeds! Atana! You no longer have awe of God in your heart! Hurry up and donate your flesh and blood! Become the fertilizer of God's recovery before you become a heretic!"

A python-like thing covered in swamp grass mud rushed out from the chest of Da Pangen, and was about to touch Atana's body in the next moment.

It was also at this moment that Gottlinde stood in front of her.
