Hogwarts: Becoming a god from reselling fresh food

"God is actually a concept. It is an imagination. It is the embodiment of human beings' own fear of the unknown."

"Therefore, the gods as a whole are unkillable."

On the long stone stairs, there were countless corpses lying around. Murphy slowly walked up the stairs holding a bloody sword in his hand.

"However, your individuals will still die and be swallowed up by other beliefs. The human soul is like a depression. Even if the water in it is drained, it will still accumulate a pond in the next rainy season, but after all, it once The fish and shrimps living in that pond will also die in this change."

"I have heard many stories about you. You killed many gods. They also said that you have a weapon that controls your destiny." At the top of the stone steps, on the throne of the God Lord, a giant with three faces spoke. , "You are as arrogant as they said. You call gods fish and shrimps, so what are you? A fisherman? A god-killer?"

"I?"

"I'm just a lost traveler, just here to earn some travel expenses." Murphy said, waving the sword lightly in his hand.

The sword suddenly vibrated between the quantum state and the material state one hundred and thirty-seven times, accurately hitting the three-headed god who was motionless as if he was stunned by fright. The sword blade was so thin that it only had one layer of atoms. Breaking through the god's skin that was comparable to gold and iron, it was like cutting through a piece of air without any hindrance.

All three faces showed fear and disbelief.

"I made a prophecy one hundred and thirty-six times, and each time I fled to a different location, I would be killed by you. Why..."

Murphy lifted up the head with three faces and let the giant's body crash to the ground. Blood flowed down like a stream, as if laying a red carpet on the stone steps behind him.

"Magic is useful, especially when it is in the hands of a person who knows how to use it." Murphy said, "The atomic structure on this sword is adjusted and made by magic. It does not have any Flawed nanomaterials, under the influence of magic, can have both microscopic and macroscopic properties."

"When it is adjusted to a microscopic state by magic, all its atoms are in the uncollapsed probability cloud around me, which can be said to cover all the space about ten meters around me, and when it aggregates into a macroscopic state At any time, it can appear anywhere.”

"What determines where it will collapse is not my guess, but the quanta in your body that are entangled with some of the matter in the sword body."

"The one hundred and thirty-six predictions you made, to me, are just one hundred and thirty-six possible probability collapses. But no matter where you choose to appear from, this sword will definitely cut you off. neck."

"The Blade of Destiny." The three-headed god murmured, "So this is the Blade of Destiny."

"Destiny?" Murphy smiled mockingly, "It's just a trick of probability."

Murphy said, completely cutting the three-headed god into pieces, and at the same time stretched out his right hand, as if a vortex was formed between his palms, and robbed the latter of his divine power.

As he said, he was just here to collect money for time travel.

Since turning a group of wizards into gods in ancient times, Murphy has made several jumps through the time turner, but these times are time travel along the flow of time.

Murphy did not give up his plan to eliminate the gods, but kept trying various plans, but the results were unsatisfactory.

For example, during the last time travel, he tried to spread scientific thinking among Muggles, but was just regarded as another kind of magic. Even though he worked hard to cultivate a few people with scientific thinking, But after they passed away, their knowledge was indeed passed down as useful things, but the scientific methodology was still submerged in endless ignorance.

This made Murphy realize that it is almost impossible to implement scientific thinking without a broad educational foundation. It requires a lot of practice and sufficient thinking training, which makes him destined to become something that only a few people can do. skills to master.

So this time, Murphy decided to do the next best thing. He traveled around, trying to inspire people's ability to self-understand, and guide people to give up worshiping others in the way of "self-awareness", not outward, but inward, towards the truth. The self seeks spiritual liberation and becomes its own god.

He has spent five or six years on this matter to ensure that the "Tao of Self-consciousness" he founded based on Buddhism and modern psychology has been widely spread. At this moment, he is preparing to set the time back a hundred or two hundred years. Let’s take a look at the results of this experiment.

Now that he had gathered his "divine power", he took out a time turner again.

He doesn't have many time turners anymore, but with each time he absorbs the melted matter from time travel, Murphy is becoming more and more able to use the power of time more freely. This is reflected in his daily life. Can propel itself into a doubled speed time stream without relying on a time turner.

Even in the battle against the three-headed god just now, in order to compete with his prophecy ability, he actually used part of his time power.

From the perspective of time travel, predictions, especially accurate predictions, can actually be regarded as "observations" of the future.

Once observed, things will inevitably change to a certain extent due to the observation behavior. Especially in the quantum field, this change will become very obvious and may significantly change the probabilities of various possibilities.

In order to prevent the three-headed god from "observing" a certain future through prophecy, changing the probability, "determining" this future to a certain extent, and then adopting different methods to avoid the outcome of being killed, Murphy drew his sword At the same time, he has been using the power of time to keep himself in a superposition state for several seconds at the same time to resist the collapse effect caused by the other party's observation behavior.

At this moment, Murphy injected divine power into the time turner again, and then the same thing happened again. The time turner integrated into his body, and he came two hundred years later.

He immediately began to search for the results of the last experiment.

But soon, he found that he failed again.

After he left, his "self-conscious path" was alienated into a religion. His apprentices preached in his name everywhere. His image gradually changed from an awakened person who preached self-enlightenment to a god-like person. The god who came from the world to save the world.

Looking at the "Awakened God" who had just been born less than a hundred years ago, looked somewhat similar to himself, but had already begun to accept worship like other gods, Murphy killed it in anger.

Several attempts ended in failure, and Murphy couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.

But this also allowed him to fully understand the truth. The overall "awakening" state of human beings changes with the level of material production and life. In terms of the capabilities of the current human group, there are indeed too many different things in this world. The things under their control make it impossible for them to escape from the reality of a low-productivity society and gain a higher ideological consciousness.

Only at that point when productivity and science and technology are highly developed, and humans have driven the unknown beyond daily experience—that is, around the year he lived in 2,000 AD—or even further into the future, will there be a chance to The gods completely disappeared.

But in this case, it will take a long time to eliminate the gods to develop technology. And under the premise of the existence of gods, how can humans have too many opportunities to develop technology and civilization?

This seems to be a contradictory spiral of what comes first, the chicken and the egg.

"No, that's not right."

Murphy suddenly realized that he had entered a misunderstanding.

The original purpose of going back in time was to find a way to contain the gods.

The return of the gods in the future has already shown that from around the fifth century to around 2000 AD, the gods were only temporarily withdrawing from the scene rather than being eliminated.

Under the law of time travel, the future that has already happened cannot be changed even if you go back to the past.

In other words, he should give up the idea of ​​​​completely solving the gods at this stage, and turn to a more pragmatic route of containment.

The important thing is to find a way to contain them and make them withdraw from the scene in these two thousand years, leaving time for human society to develop technology and civilization, that is, time for humans to accumulate resources that can truly eliminate them.

But, what to do?

Murphy meditated for a long time.

Suddenly an idea jumped out.

At this moment, he has a rough understanding of the birth process of gods, and has enough experience in faith and divine power.

Now he already knows that humans are the creators of gods, but at this stage, due to limitations in productivity, it is not realistic from a human perspective to deal with gods in such a direct way as to eliminate faith.

However, what if we change the angle?

Humans can't deal with the gods, but what about the gods themselves?

They have been annexing each other, absorbing and evolving from each other, and the gods are full of contradictions with each other.

Is it possible to use this contradiction to make them attack each other and contain each other?

Moreover, gods are born from legends.

Although after gaining consciousness, gods often enslave believers in reverse, due to the existence of spiritual pollution, believers can actually influence gods to a certain extent.

So, if we deliberately spread the legends of some gods, is it possible to change their behavior and control them?
