The Social Life of the Supreme God

Chapter 124 Faith
"Faith...and gods." Messiah murmured and repeated these two words that the little god mentioned repeatedly: "What does it mean?"

Seeing the Messiah who had been silent for a long time, the little god finally spoke again. Bian Ye responded generously: "Now, since you asked the question sincerely."

"Then I will tell you briefly and to the point." The little god said and took out the red book and started reading it: "There are many types of faith. Pursuing a certain belief is faith. Worshiping a certain god is also faith."

"In terms of religious belief alone." The little god read the words on the red book: "It refers to the unwavering belief that living beings have in some kind of supernatural and otherworldly existence."

"Do you know what is the essential difference between faith and creation?" The little god said like a teacher, first pointing to the ground under his feet. Then he pointed to the face of the Messiah.

But the Messiah did not answer, He was still thinking.

Seeing this, the little god continued: "Few people believe that creation is real."

"For example, whether people are reading novels, watching movies, or playing games, they all abide by a conventional and self-evident default rule..." The little god said with relief: "That is, regardless of these works Any characters or plots that appear in it are all imaginary, created, and fictitious creations by the narrator.”

"Faith is different." Little God then gave a few examples: "The story of Jesus' crucifixion was told more than two thousand years ago. After dissemination and preaching, it has now evolved into more than 20 billion believers around the world. The religion of man.”

"In BC, there was a story about an ancient Indian prince who attained enlightenment and became a Buddha under the bodhi tree. As time went by, it spread to all parts of the world."

"Faith therefore breaks through the boundary between fiction and reality. A very dangerous dividing line." The little god made the final summary: "This is the difference between faith and creation."

The Messiah spoke his inner thoughts unhurriedly: “My dreams and ambitions.”

Messiah's voice was filled with exhaustion.

He, who is being eaten away by nihilism, has completely lost the joy he felt when he first came to the creation layer: "The sky above my head, the earth under my feet. What I see, hear, and feel..."

"What I care about, what I don't care about. Even my past, present, and future."

"There are many more believers who firmly believe that God is real."

"The human civilization that created these gods has no way to prove that these gods really exist. It is also impossible to find and confirm the reasons and purposes of the narrators who originally narrated the stories of these gods, and created the stories that affected later generations. The gods of heaven.”

The long discourse ended here, and the Messiah finally spoke again.

"This is... because it's ridiculous, so I believe it."

"It cannot be falsified by reasoning."

“It can’t be falsified with data.”

The little god said and began to summarize: "The gods that these beliefs point to, their existence itself. It cannot be falsified by experience."

"It cannot be falsified experimentally."

"As for the gods born from such stories." The little god thought about it and said, "It is often said that those who believe in it have it, but those who don't believe it don't."

The little god took a deep breath: "The believers of the gods are therefore more convinced that this supernatural and otherworldly absurd existence. It is truly a part of reality."

"Why do you have to patiently answer my question?" At this time, Messiah lowered his head and half-squinted his eyes. He looked lonely like a lion that had just lost its territory: "What's the point of telling me this now?"

Messiah's words gradually increased as he spoke: "Everything is just an insignificant novel! Even a novel whose collection is being dropped every day!!"

"Let me ask you..." Messiah stared at the little god: "What is the meaning of my existence?"

"Everything I have done, and everything I want to do. What's the point?" Messiah said, raising his hand and pointing to his face.

Due to excessive force, His nails even scratched the skin on his cheek. Then golden blood flowed out: "Tell me. Who am I?"

The little god did not respond immediately to his question.

The Messiah's emotions rose again: "Answer me!"

He roared and flew forward, and then used his left hand to pinch the short neck of the little god, which was only the size of a milk tea cup: "Originally, all my hopes were placed on the Lord!"

The Messiah is referring to His dream of "coming to the level of creation to seek psychological counseling from God."

"Now that you told me, the Lord is a monster!" For the Messiah, beneath his feet is a land of faith that feeds on creation. To be described as a monster is not an exaggeration.

"Then take responsibility and tell me..." Messiah's voice gradually became deeper: "How should I survive?"

"Knowing the world and one's own existence is meaningless and worthless. Yet it possesses omniscience and omnipotence that is immortal and cannot be forgotten."

"This feeling..." Messiah slowly raised his right hand. Then he weakly hammered his heart, making a muffled sound: "This feeling is really painful."

"please."

Messiah said as he released his grip on the little god's neck: "Give me an answer, or give me a goal to live on."

"It doesn't matter even if it's a lie." Messiah's words contained some pleading: "As long as it can alleviate this pain... No matter how you lie to me, I will believe it."

"Yes... just do it! Lie to me, come and lie to me!" Messiah said and started to laugh crazily again: "Come on! Don't you like to play with me? Don't you like to watch me? Are you showing any ugliness? Now that the opportunity has come, I will believe whatever you say!"

Messiah's voice became lower and lower: "Please lie to me again, just once."

On the other hand, look at the little gods. Seeing that the Messiah's mental state beside him became increasingly unstable, He finally gave the answer: "I can't do it."

The words fell and Messiah fell silent.

The moment he heard the little god's reply, the light in his eyes disappeared in an instant.

Subsequently. When Messiah's eyes became more and more hollow, he was about to be completely broken.

The little god spoke again: "I am just a person who has been entrusted with important tasks by the supreme divinity. Therefore, my authority is slightly higher than yours, another concept of omniscience and omnipotence."

"We are very similar in some aspects. The truths that make you feel painful also make me feel pain." The little god pointed his hands at himself and Messiah at the same time: "So I can't help you."

"But I know someone who can help you." The little god said and waved his hand, and then a space-time rift was torn in the sky: "You go back to him, and he can fulfill your wish."

Across the crack is the Ferris wheel at the center of the amusement park.

And the little dragon that is soaring over the Ferris wheel——

A dragon from the world of "Dragon Ball".

"As for what kind of wish you want to make," the little god said, waving his hand and sending Messiah back to his original world: "I'll leave it to you to decide."
