Chapter 34 The Nature of God and Its Research Applications
According to Cliff, the relevant records did not mention the specific image of the descending god, only saying that 'everything about him is as the old chief thought. '

Gu Xiuya made up the picture described in the text by himself, and was surprised that the image fit the modern people quite well.

Cliff interprets this as a coincidence in the subconscious of the group.

That is: under the influence of the group subconscious, modern people have evolved an image similar to that of the gods imagined by their ancestors.

Rather than gods being similar to modern man.

Gu Xiuya declined to comment.

All in all, at the end of the story, the sons of chieftains and priests were brought into the Kingdom of God by the Advent God.To be with God and share eternal life.

"When I first joined the Bureau of Investigation, I worked briefly in the Dissonance Division. During that time, I saw this story in a document in the archives."

"I originally thought that this was just the ancients' fabrication of the personification of natural phenomena. But then I discovered that there are similar stories in the historical records of various countries."

"Can you imagine that those countries are distributed in every corner of this planet, separated from each other by boundless seas and deep mountains. With the travel ability of ancient people, it is impossible to meet each other in a lifetime."

"Under such a premise, they actually made up almost the same story at about the same time, and even the plot is almost the same... I can't think of any explanation other than the subconscious influence of the group."

"But what I want to tell you is not the story itself, but the message it hides."

"In these stories, the concept of God originally originated from fiction, but eventually became real because of people's belief. This is consistent with the information we have."

"We believe that God is a concept. A concept born of belief."

"There are too many countries on this planet, and the cultures of different countries have created countless bizarre legends. When people who believe in these stories reach a certain level, they will give birth to corresponding gods."

"Once a god is born, it will be firmly entrenched in the ocean of human group consciousness. As long as one person remembers it, it will last forever."

"It's okay if they just stay there obediently. Unfortunately, the nature of their existence based on belief is doomed to be impossible to coexist peacefully with human beings."

"In order for life not to forget their prestige, they will use various means to exert influence downwards, induce human beings to spread beliefs, and even set up rituals to welcome their arrival."

"This is where most of the anomalous events come from."

"At the beginning of the last century, various countries launched vigorous religious rectification campaigns for this purpose. During this period, Baixing Kingdom destroyed countless sects by destroying mountains and temples. A Bureau of Investigation has been established to deal with this trouble."

When Cliff said this, he also took out a pair of pens framed in a glass frame.

[I will firmly believe that all the original things in the world are real, I will firmly believe that all the original things in the world are illusions, legends will end before my eyes, and gods will also turn into nothingness. 】

"This is the instruction left by His Excellency Fast, the then director of the Investigation Bureau. He believes that only by ending the legend can the gods be forever forgotten and human beings return to peace."

"But you also know that not everyone has this determination and courage."

"The decision-making at the upper level has always been indecisive. As an executive agency, we can only block news related to the gods according to orders, and reduce the chances of ordinary people coming into contact with the gods."

"What I said may have a cognitive impact on you and cause panic, but you don't need to worry too much about it."

"God's influence on the world is premised. The distance between consciousness and matter is farther than the two ends of the vast galaxy. It is the ultimate limit beyond latitude, and it is the world's few benevolence to human beings."

"It isolates the intersection of man and God, and allows most people to live in the world of science and spend their lives with reason."

"Only a few people with extraordinary talents can break through this limitation and become a channel for the gods to descend into the world."

Cliff draws two concentric circles with a pen and writes a word between them.

【Boundary of Inspiration】

"Some theologians believe that the mass consciousness of creatures gathers in the high sky in a gas-like form, envelops the entire planet, and forms a boundary. Downward is the material world in which human beings live, and upward is the deep space of consciousness where gods occupy."

"The distance between the two is the limit of inspiration."

"A transcendent person with a special talent and a consciousness intensity greater than 10 Flo and higher can break through this boundary, move closer from the material world to the conscious world, gradually progress, and finally complete the contact between reality and illusion."

"This process is called: [lift-off]"

"The stronger the inspiration, the higher the lift. Every time the altitude increases by [-] meters, the gods you can see will be more and more terrifying."

"At the same time, the distance between reality and illusion will gradually blur on you."

"This is the price of being close to God."

Cliff didn't elaborate on what this price refers to, but Gu Xiuya already had a clear understanding based on his own experience.

——It is a hallucination, a dream, and a spirit that is becoming more and more chaotic.

Gu Xiuya thought of the giant bronze ruler that often appeared in his dreams.

and the scale on it.

If every [-] meters in the air is one step closer to the illusion, what about 'Wanzhang'?

At this moment, he suddenly understood why he was able to witness such a majestic figure twice successively.

"If you understand the nature of God, you will have the basis for research and application. The predecessors have left enough experience in this area, and the richness covers thousands. What the investigation bureau is doing now is only summarizing on its basis, It’s just a more scientific and systematic extension.”

Cliff explained this part of knowledge with one line.

He believes that the intersection of man and god is a chain reaction.

That is: know the relevant knowledge - believe in the relevant knowledge - pass the inspiration limit test - see the gods - get the favor of the gods - control the residing fetish.

"The so-called resident gods are actually the remnants of the consciousness energy of the gods crossing the boundary of inspiration and staying in the material world due to some unknown reason."

"Therefore, some unofficial organizations will also call it: holy relic... This is very similar to a self-developed open world game setting that you young people like."

"It needs to be explained that all the residing fetishes come from the gods. It is the materialized product of a certain ability possessed by the gods in myths and legends."

"For example, my [Knowledge Seeker] originated from Fitan, the god of knowledge in the mythology of Baixing Kingdom."

While speaking, Cliff showed Gu Xiuya his left hand.In the middle of the callused palm grew a ferocious eye, the size of which was comparable to a tennis ball.

He clenched his fist slightly, struggled for a moment with his eyes moving his five fingers, and then calmed down.

"Accommodating the residing fetish requires the price of some limb mutations. Driving the retentive fetish requires the power of consciousness. As the number of uses increases, the mutation will grow and spread throughout the body."

"The current research results show that this mutation only occurs at the level of consciousness and does not cause physical changes in the body. Therefore, except for people with super inspiration, ordinary people cannot see it. It has no effect on daily life. "

Speaking of which, Cliff smiled.

"In ancient times, people like me who have undergone mutations were honored by the ignorant and foolish people as: angels and saints."

"Until now, we in the Investigation Bureau prefer to call ourselves: God-Traveler."

"The pioneer who controls the gods."

"In my opinion, God is just a creature of ideology. It is not nobler than humans, so it does not need to be worshiped. Its only function is to be driven by humans and become a tool for humans to transform nature."

"Thousands of years of development have allowed human beings to master the mighty power of heaven and earth. One day, we will completely imprison the so-called gods in tools just like mastering nuclear weapons."

Gu Xiuya didn't comment on Cliff's boast.

He just said: "Tell me about embers, what are embers?"

"The embers... are actually a kind of condensed spirit consciousness, which is another form of expression of the remembrance of the gods."

Cliff's expression was rare and unnatural at this moment. He seemed to recall some unbearable past events, and his tone was slightly low for a while.

"In the material world, all consciousness energy will spontaneously aggregate under the action of time, and finally present in the materialized form we understand. But only the relatively orderly part can become a resident fetish. Those gods with disordered, The remains of the chaotic parts are the embers."

"The embers can also be accommodated by humans or any other creatures, and like the residing fetish, it also possesses some of the abilities of a god."

"However, unlike the residing fetish, embers are often highly contagious, and the creatures that contain it will be quickly infected, become unrecognizable, and eventually return to disorder."

"At this time, the infected person becomes an ember creature."

"In fact, the original investigators relied on embers to work. In modern times, some pagans still do this. They don't think it is a disaster to return to disorder, but instead regard it as a gift from God."

"The esoteric religion you want to know is one of the advocates of this absurd theory."
