Variety: I Loaded the Dream Game

For them, this is the perfect candidate for a "settlement".

"Look, Rick, there's an underground spring here!"

Chroni's voice of surprise came from the front, and the sound of water she heard after approaching also proved that what she said was true.

Another good news.thought Rick.

It seems that since meeting those two people, his luck has suddenly improved.

Because there is no need to worry about encountering wild beasts and monsters on the road, the migration time has been shortened a lot, and the food and grass that were originally expected to be insufficient have turned out to be a lot left, which means that there are many people who would have starved to death. So survived.

Just this is enough for Rick to be grateful to the boy.

Not to mention, the other party took him to find such an excellent place to live.

"Wait, Croni!" Rick called out to Croni who was about to take off her shoes and put her feet into the water.

"Huh? What's the matter?" Chroni held up her shoes and looked back at him suspiciously.

"This spring may be our most important source of fresh water in the future..."

Starry sky: ⒏2②47650⒌

"so what?"

"It's better to keep the water source as clean as possible..." After hesitating for a moment, Rick said "Please don't pollute the water source" in a more euphemistic way.

Chroni blushed slightly, and secretly glanced at Xia Zhi and Suwako. Seeing that they didn't seem to be paying attention, she was relieved. Head away, looking a little angry.

Rick didn't know why the girl was angry, maybe she was... sorry?

"It's a pity...it's a little smaller."

The boy's low murmur came to his ears, making Rick stunned for a moment.

"Isn't this still young?"

"Just a few thousand people should be enough, but if the "settlement" is bigger and becomes a "town", it will definitely not be enough. "Xia Zhi replied after calculating in her heart.

But it doesn't matter too much. If they really wait until then, they won't need to rely on this kind of thing to hide and protect themselves.

"Well, since the housing problem has been temporarily resolved, let's talk about more important things."

Rick froze for a moment, and after taking a deep breath, his expression became serious.

If there is a matter more important than the present problem of housing, it is only that.

"About...the future of humanity."

……

"There are two ways to get human beings out of the previous situation of being slaughtered by others."

The flickering dim light illuminated the small "room". Xia Zhi sat in front of the wooden box used as a table, stretched out a finger and said to the two people in front of him:

"First, whether it is an external war or an internal coup, we will use all means to weaken the combat power of other races, divide their goals, dismantle their camps, intensify their conflicts, and let them disintegrate their own power."

It is impossible for a community to have internal contradictions. The larger the organization and the longer the system, the more internal contradictions there will be. Whether it is through external stimulation or internal conflicts, as long as these contradictions can be detonated, the Create enough trouble to make them scramble.

It is true that because of the supreme existence of the gods, those races are unlikely to split because of this, but as long as they can cause some trouble for them, it is enough for them to not notice for a while, or have no energy to pay attention to humans.

Others can be handed over to "others" to solve.

After all, in this era when the various camps are opposed to each other, and each side is eager for the other to die immediately, seeing the enemy falling into turmoil due to internal conflicts, who would let go of such a good opportunity?

"For us now, the closest ones are the elves and the orcs, which means they pose the greatest threat to us, so I suggest starting with them for comparison..."

"Wait, wait!" Rick interrupted Xia Zhi: "This will only make the battle worse?"

Indeed, those races 937 may temporarily have no time to care about human beings because of their own turmoil, and even go further, because they are defeated in subsequent wars and lead to the destruction of the country, but that is not very beneficial to human beings.

Because of their weakness, human beings don't even have the capital to benefit from the chaotic situation. Instead, it may become more difficult to survive because of the chaotic situation.

"That's why we need the second method."

Xia Zhi raised his second finger and continued: "The reason why human beings are bullied and despised by various races is, in the final analysis, because of their own lack of strength, or because they do not have enough strength behind them to protect them."

Just imagine, if a god-species as powerful as the God of War claimed to protect human beings, would human beings still be like this, fearful of being affected by the war all day long, and not even have a stable place to live?

But unfortunately, that is impossible.

Human beings are not the creation of any spirit species in this world, nor will any spirit species create a weak race like humans.

Therefore, human beings will not be protected by any spirit species.

"Then, the next thing is very simple." Xia Zhi looked at Rick who didn't know why, and said with a smile:

"Since no gods are willing to protect human beings, wouldn't it be good if we create 'gods' ourselves?".

Chapter 120 Why is Suwako a God?

Just like what Xia Zhi said, there are also two ways to allow human beings to have the power to protect themselves.

One is to allow human beings to have their own power, and the other is to seek protection from sufficiently powerful external forces.

For the former, although Xia Zhi already has some ideas, but the current dream points are not enough, so he can only temporarily consider the latter method.

It is true that relying solely on Xia Zhi's own strength, protecting this group of people should not be a problem, but that is only in terms of the current situation.

There are still relatively few people in the settlement now, and they can barely maintain their livelihoods by relying on animal husbandry and hunting alone. However, when the population increases, the development of agriculture must not be left behind, coupled with the demand for other resources and land... If you want to For human beings to develop, it is impossible to stay in this small cave all the time, and it must expand outward.

But Xia Zhi alone has limited energy, and he doesn't have the relevant authority, so it will be very troublesome to manage, and he still wants to fish... Ahem, there are some more important things to do, and it is impossible to stay in it all the time. Protect them here.

Therefore, creating a "god" that belongs to human beings has become the best choice at the moment.

That being said, how exactly do you do it?

The gods of this world are concepts, thoughts, and beliefs that are materialized through the activated essence, that is to say, if you want to create a gods, you must have faith and the essence.

But in fact, it doesn't need to be so troublesome at all.

The conditions for the birth of the above-mentioned gods are just the rules of this world, but beside Xia Zhi, there is a real god born from the belief of "human beings".

"It's her!"

Under the puzzled eyes of Suwako beside him, Xia Zhi hugged her and put her in his arms, and said to Rick, "Although the way of existence is different, Suwako is a real god."

"As long as you offer your faith, you can gain the protection of the gods. And not only that, birth, agriculture, production, military...all are within her scope of authority. And all these, you only need to offer your faith and prayers. Got it, how about it, it’s a good deal, right?”

Essentially, the relationship between gods and believers is like a transaction.It is very reasonable for believers to offer the belief that the gods rely on for their survival, and the gods to give believers the guarantee of survival and life.

Now Suwako needs faith, and human beings also need the protection of gods, so it can be said that everyone gets what they need, and it is a win-win thing no matter how you think about it.

"Wait!" Rick looked at the petite and cute girl in Xia Zhi's arms in surprise, but was ignored by him because he didn't make much noise, his heart was full of astonishment and disbelief.

"You said she was a god!?"

"Is there any problem?" Xia Zhi asked suspiciously.

The problem is big!

Rick grumbled in his heart.

He didn't know what kind of mood he was in now.

Compared with Xia Zhi, since Suwako has never shown anything special, Rick subconsciously just compares her to a cute girl on the spot, but unexpectedly, is she the real god?

"What a lovely god..." Chroni sighed softly, it seemed that her focus was completely different from Rick's.

Lala...

There was a faint pulling sensation in his arms, Xia Zhi lowered his head, and met the girl's beautiful light gray eyes.

"What's wrong?" he asked suspiciously.

"I don't have that kind of power right now." Suwako looked at him and said.

Part of her power comes from herself, and part of it comes from the gods she controls.But after coming to this world, the sources of these two powers are all lost. The belief provided by the young man can only barely maintain his own existence, and he cannot do as many things as he said.

After thinking about it, she stretched out her white and tender little hand and shook it lightly.

"Boom--"

Accompanied by her movements, the entire cave they were in began to tremble violently.

Earth, is there an earthquake?

Rick hurriedly stabilized his body, trying to pull Chroni who was sitting next to him to call for a few people to run out of the cave, but before he could say anything, the shock ended quickly.

He breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and was shocked to find that the narrow space inside the cave suddenly became much wider.

……what happened?

These...was that girl doing it just now?

"At most, it can only be done to this extent." Ignoring the shocked Rick, Suwako withdrew her hand and looked at Xia Zhi again and said.

"Just this level is enough." Xia Zhi patted her little head and said.

"As for other things, it doesn't matter if you can't do it now, you can always do it in the future."

In the final analysis, the ability of a god mainly depends on what people "believe" she can do. Of course, this must also involve a lot of "clergy" and "divine positions" and other messy things, but that is very important to Xia Zhi. nothing.

"You just need to be the same as before, and leave the rest to me."

Regarding his baseless, unreasonable, self-confident remarks, Suwako did not refute, but nodded silently.

Seeing that the girl agreed, Xia Zhi raised her head, looked at Rick again and said, "." So, what do you think? "

"..." Rick fell silent.

If he still had some doubts about Xia Zhi's words just now, after seeing the girl's power, the doubts in his heart have completely disappeared.

"The protection of the gods..." Rick murmured in a low voice.

Gods belonging to human beings themselves, this kind of thing was unthinkable before.

But just like what Xia Zhi said... If no gods are willing to protect humans, why can't humans find a god to protect themselves?

A weak god...a weak race...Think about it carefully, doesn't this combination feel very interesting?

What's more, human beings don't need to pay anything, only "faith". (No Good Zhao)

Originally in this cruel world, human beings could give up anything in order to survive, but now they only need to pay a mere "faith". Such a "deal" can be said to be a big profit.
