Yuanshen: The sea of ​​sand at the beginning, straight to the seat of God

Chapter 21 - Chapter 20

"This path is the most orthodox path. I drive the tribe with righteousness, and coerce others to submit to the tribe with theocratic power, so that we can reach a bright future."

"But you, but Rama you." Babel looked complicated, "Why did you get a good result?"

After the violent killing, Rama took out the elders' killer in the dark of night.

When the elders realized that Rama was tricky, the first step of his plan was successful.

Before the action, Rama had already explained this truth to her.

I know they won't listen to my reasoning, but that doesn't matter, it's enough that I know my reasoning works.

I don't need them to understand, I don't need them to agree, I just need them to obey.

Power can bring the answers I want, and their obedience is the only thing I need.

Babel then watched Rama triumph.

A 16-year-old boy, he used a method he never thought of to directly win the victory.

His success was a blow to Babel, who wanted to rely on righteousness and theocracy to succeed.

Why can this be successful? !
"You really shouldn't have too much jealousy and hatred towards me," Rama sighed, "Everyone knows that I am Tanit's child, and you are my adoptive mother, my mother."

"But you are not my child, you want to fight for my power." Babel said indifferently.

"That's right." Rama didn't deny it. "When it comes to power, the so-called mother-child relationship can be a lie. What's more, I am not your biological son, but just an adopted son."

It was difficult for him to reason too much with Babel.

Because Babel knew these truths herself, she just dismissed them and stubbornly moved towards her goal.

"Alright, alright, let's recount the path." Rama's gentle smile returned to his face.

"I think the path you have chosen is the right one."

"But the truth is not that if you are right, then I am wrong." Rama explained gently, "The road to the future is wide enough, and you and I are walking on the right path."

"You have to integrate the power of the tribe, and then use the power of theocracy and town spirits to grow the tribe."

"And what I have to do is the same, except that I don't rely on the power of the gods, but plan to rely on my own power."

Rama paused for a moment, as if he had thought of something, "And a simple truth is that whether it is the power of the gods or my power, their essence is the same."

"Strength brings might, not justice."

"What justice needs is another bargaining chip."

Rama shook his head and lowered his voice: "Mother, your embarrassment is that you directly regard the gods as the embodiment of justice and axiom, as if everything they do is correct."

"So you can't accept my power, because I'm not a god, I'm really weak, but I get the treatment that only a god is entitled to."

"That's all, you're so wrong."

Babel couldn't hold back, she was in a hurry.

"Don't the gods symbolize justice and justice?"

Theocracy itself is just a tool for rulers, and the war of faith is essentially a battle of interests.

But Tewat does have a god, even for a deserter like Babel, she has received the same education in this respect.

The core of the Seven Kingdoms in the world is the Seven Gods. Of course, the power holders who ruled the human kingdom in place of the gods knew this, so they worked hard to promote the answer that God loves the world.

It doesn't matter whether God loves people or not, but I have to let God know that I, us ordinary people, think that God loves us.

We honor the gods and celebrate their care for us with ceremonies.

These are all means of pleasing the gods.

When an inhuman entity has the power to easily destroy an entire human world, the only thing you can do is pray that it is kind to humans.

Because the rest, you can't do anything.

On this foundation stone, what kind of education can they propose?

It's nothing more than lies that the gods are great, the gods are gentle, and the gods are lovers... and so on.

"It's not like that, Elder Babel." Rama explained seriously, "I've heard such a short joke, and this joke is likely to be stamped on Mond's head in the future."

"Every effort we make is not to protect the people, but to convince the people that they are being protected."

This absurd answer made Babel instantly stunned.

"Similarly, we teach that God loves people, not because God really loves people, but because we want ordinary people to believe that God loves us."

If Babel knew that Nasida was imprisoned by the sages of the Order Academy, she would know that the so-called gods symbolize justice and justice, which is completely a hypocritical lie.

But she doesn't know.

So she made the judgment that an ordinary person in the Tivat world should make. Gods are individuals who cannot make mistakes and always walk on the right path.

But Rama knew, so he knew very well that people respect gods not because of justice or wisdom at all.

all fake.

They fear the gods, but they only fear the power of the gods.

When you die if you don't respect them, you will naturally think about how to say every word, whether every word will bring some unnecessary misunderstandings.

There has never been any unintentional offense. Any offense is essentially that you are not worthy of the other party's wasted effort to think.

Babel just lived in this environment for too long. She knew that gods would die, but she didn't know that gods would also be imprisoned by mortals.

In this world, there is no great feat of killing gods by mortals. In any legends or records, gods are life forms higher than human beings.

"We should look at things like gods more objectively and rationally." Rama's face was flat, "Gods are just life forms with powerful power."

"The point is nothing more than [having great power]."

"Then to put it another way, if I have great power, I am a god."

His words were casual and gentle, as if he was telling a well-known truth, so his pitch was not high-pitched.

"You don't have this power!"

Babel made a final resistance.

"No, indeed not." Rama nodded and admitted, "But the reason is this, the gods can take their lives at will, and I can easily do the same thing."

"Then I am certainly not a god to the world."

"But for them, what is the difference between me and a god?"

Power is something that can never be wrong.

When it is wrong, it is defeated.

Can a power that has been defeated be considered a power?
When Dekarapian was defeated, history was qualified to give him the title of tyrant.

After the death of the Red King, the scholars in the rainforest were able to denounce the cruelty of the Red King.

Righteousness and justice are not correct enough if they can only crown the dead, reveal themselves only after the reign of might is over.

Justice delayed is not justice.
