Hogwarts: Becoming a god from reselling fresh food

God was killed.

Those guardian spirits were only the original gods, with weak divine power and chaotic consciousness, and their magic power was attached to the stone tablet. After the stone tablet was destroyed, they naturally died.

But Murphy became the new god.

The destruction of those stone tablets not only did not destroy the faith of the shamans, but gave them another faith due to the powerful power displayed by Murphy.

As Murphy traveled around the world, destroying newborn gods everywhere, a legend gradually spread through the mouth of the shaman: the only true god descended from the sky and killed all the false gods with divine thunder. From then on, there was only one great existence in the world.

So when he returned to the original valley again, he found that the broken stone tablets were missing, and in their place was a statue that looked very similar to it.

Wisps of spiritual power converged on the statue from the shamans and worshipers, and when Murphy got close, they returned from the statue to Murphy.

An extremely full and high-spirited feeling filled his heart, and countless emotions, emotions, fears, hopes, desires, etc. mixed with those mental powers were like all kinds of condiments, sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, all passing through his heart. , which made him feel dazed for a moment.

He seemed to have truly become a god sitting high in the sky overlooking all living beings.

Fortunately, he quickly understood that these were all impurities in the spiritual power passed down by those believers. They were their "definition" of their own God in their minds, and their imagination and shaping of God.

It took him a lot of effort to suppress the influence of these impurities.

Then I felt a little dumbfounded.

Mental power is another dimension of magic power. With a little conversion, Murphy can transform it into magic power. This is why those gods have huge magic power.

It is naturally a good thing to have this magic power. The previous time transformation has almost consumed the magic power obtained from Pan Shen. He can just accumulate some magic power for the next time transformation, so he does not have to worry about being trapped in this era.

But the man who originally planned to destroy the gods became the only true god. This result is somewhat ironic.

Speaking of which, he might be able to take this opportunity to develop followers and become the only god by relying on his knowledge and magic that transcend this era.

Just imagine, if he could continue his belief as the only god for tens of thousands of years, until a future with tens of billions of people, how huge the magic power he could possess would be?

This is even very feasible. At this time, all the gods are still in their infancy. He has a big first-mover advantage over them, and he knows better than any other god what is more confusing and more attractive to believers. , coupled with the miracles brought by the huge divine power, it is not difficult to unify the world's faith.

But this idea only took a moment before Murphy abandoned it.

First of all, he doesn't like to manipulate people's hearts like this, let alone do it for tens of thousands of years.

Magic is a good thing, but if you have to do work that you don't want to do for ten thousand years for the sake of magic, then do you master the magic, or does the magic control you?

Secondly, although the magic brought by faith is huge, it is not without cost.

Most believers' belief in gods is very utilitarian. Their beliefs are mixed with countless personal obsessions and desires, as well as fantasies and shaping of the gods themselves. If they accept too much of this kind of spiritual power, the gods themselves will inevitably become corrupted. contaminated.

What's more, he destroyed the gods in order to make mankind as a whole embrace reason and bring him more knowledge and development. In a certain sense, it was to make mankind wake up from the worship of gods and stand upright to face the reality of the world. Not to make more people kneel down to me.

Perhaps the upper limit of taking the path of faith will be very high. With his huge magical power, he may be able to perform magic that can truly change the world and be worthy of a miracle. However, he is the only person left in the world with free will. Others They are all reduced to vassals and NPCs, living in obscurity in flattery all day long, and how empty it is.

After all, it is just a self-centered idealistic world. Even if you become the ruler of that world, new knowledge cannot be generated. It will only be continuously stacked and passed with secondary information derived from the original cognition. Fitting will eventually lead to self-closure and rigidity.

That was definitely not the future he wanted.

However, this incident also reminded him that it is meaningless to simply destroy those gods and idols. What should be destroyed most is the "god" in people's hearts.

Otherwise, no matter how many times he destroys the bodies of these gods, they will always be reincarnated back into the dirt.

In the process, Murphy also figured out the elements of the birth of gods.

He visited various places and realized that the birth of gods was inseparable from wizards.

The spiritual power of ordinary Muggles cannot be condensed. Only wizards can outline the image of gods through the power of imagination during prayer, and gradually give life to the idols they worship through long-term and continuous mental projection.

In other words, gods are actually created by wizards.

However, those wizards were unaware of this.

Since the magic network does not exist in the world today, it is actually very difficult for wizards to convert their magic into magic. The amount of their magic is not much inferior to that of future wizards, but they lack both sufficient knowledge and systematic training. , and without the regulation and assistance of the Magic Network, the probability range of "wave function collapse" that its magic power can cause is very small, so it is extremely difficult for them to release a magic.

Only by chance, they can release one or two magics with their own magic power, and those magics usually behave more like a "coincidence", "good luck" or "miracle", and it is difficult for them to conclude The laws of magic are difficult to reproduce.

In contrast, the spirits born from their prayers have received more spiritual power and therefore have greater magic power, so that these newborn gods can complete a kind of magic just by "imagination". And its success rate is much higher than that of wizards. In the eyes of wizards, they naturally have a higher status than themselves.

They could never imagine that this god, who was far beyond their own abilities, was actually created by themselves.

As a result, Murphy decided to try to teach the wizards some knowledge about releasing magic. Perhaps, if humans can exert magic on their own, then gods may no longer be needed.

But this process is much more difficult than he imagined. Without the magic network to help the wizard sort out and guide the magic power, if he wants to use the magic power in the wizard's body to complete a more powerful magic, he must give more information. It is an accurate "path imagination", and the closer the "path imagination" realized by magic is to physical reality, the easier it is to succeed.

Therefore, if Murphy wants to teach them magic, he must impart some more systematic knowledge.

But even some common sense that modern people are accustomed to may be a celestial book that they have never heard of for tens of thousands of years ago. If you want an ancient person to be able to freely release some relatively simple magic with their own knowledge, Murphy will likely spend years or even a decade teaching.

He did not have such patience, so he adopted a more trouble-free method. He found the most knowledgeable and intelligent shamans from each tribe and taught them the basics of each discipline directly into their minds through "memory copying" common sense.

They would then pass on this knowledge to the remaining wizards.

Afterwards, he lived under the worship of believers for another half a year to ensure that the knowledge he passed down was not too out of shape. Then he used divine power to activate the third time converter again and sent himself two hundred years in the future.

He didn't send it further into the future because he wanted to verify the results of his attempt.

However, this time, when he returned to the valley again, he found that a magnificent city had been built there.

In the giant city, there are several tall statues of gods standing. The faces of several of them are vaguely familiar. They are the shamans who have been taught knowledge by me.

With knowledge and magic, they literally no longer needed to create additional gods.

Because they themselves have become gods.

"Haha..." Under the shadow of those statues, Murphy couldn't help laughing.

He finally fully realized the ultimate meaning of "the immortality of gods" spoken by Cornunnos.

It's not that people's belief in a certain god will not disappear, but that the overall belief in gods as a whole will not disappear.

As Christ God said, people are always indolent, and people are always willing to place their thinking ability on an authority more powerful than themselves.

And there will always be people who, because of power or interest or various reasons, will take advantage of the weaknesses of others and make themselves gods.

God is immortal, unless humanity as a whole gives up its illusions, unless everyone can be conscious, self-reflective, self-loving, self-improving, able to not blame others, avoid or shirk, and have the courage to take on their own destiny.

However, that is such a difficult thing.

For the first time, he felt that in this war between himself and the gods, he might really have no chance of winning.
