Traveler in the Pirate World

Chapter 190 Belief in God

As night fell, under the colorful sky, the night here was not much brighter than the dark forest. The starlight in the sky was dispersed after penetrating the leaves. Only the hazy moonlight illuminated the palace in the treetops, as if covering it with a layer of veil.

Qinasi lay in front of the window, listening to the rhythm of nature in the night, and her green pupils reflected everything in the darkness.

The chirping of insects and the croaking of frogs are the norm in summer. Long snakes are secretly spying, swallowing their tongues and curling up under the tangled roots, looking for prey.

People living at the bottom of society light expensive incense in their houses to repel snakes and insects. Although it is painful, it is a necessary expense for them to survive in this kingdom.

Brahman incense is a business monopolized by the royal family, nobles and church of the Kingdom of Collefu. It is a necessity for the lower class people and those living on the edge of the dark forest. Its cost is extremely low, but its selling price is enough to empty the daily savings of the lower class people.

It is not only a weapon for the kingdom's upper class to maintain their rule, but also a tool for gathering a large amount of resources.

The main raw material of Brahma incense is the trunk of the giant Caixiatian tree that the Kingdom of Kelufu depends on. Although it can be found everywhere, only tree doctors and families qualified to preside over the funerals of dead Caixiatian trees have the right to share in the benefits.

Qinasi did not like such a kingdom without any room for development, but such a country was the norm on the planet and lasted for eight hundred years.

Civilization is constrained by the power from above, and all people and things that can push civilization forward will be extinguished by the great power from above the sky.

Although they are still a step away from being real gods, they have already seen most of the truth on this planet.

But Qinasi didn't care about all this. What she cared about was that the three lively people in the room didn't play cards with her just because she always counted cards instinctively.

After all, with their own computing power and observation skills, there is no secret at all in a game of this level.

"I won, I won, hahaha..." Zeli, with a face full of white stripes, shouted excitedly. Her best body was shaking with laughter, and the white strips of paper stuck on her face like white beards were also swaying, which looked very funny.

Everything seemed to be as usual under the night sky. Dozens of figures moved mysteriously. There were men and women among them. Most of them had cautious expressions mixed with fear and excitement.

They lowered their heads, looked around from time to time, sneaked around the crowds that were active at night, and carefully stayed in the corners, which made people feel that there was something wrong when they saw them.

Soon the arrival of the guard team broke the silence of the night. The captain of the guard looked at the snow-white queen bee ant in his hand, which had two wide fleshy thorns on its back, and the small hole drilled in the trunk of the Caixiatian tree, and his expression was very ugly.

"You bunch of damn parasites, do you know what you are doing?" He couldn't help but look at the old man in front of him angrily, his eyes were red as if he would pick up a knife and kill someone in the next moment.

The old man was frightened by the look in the guard's eyes. He instinctively trembled with fear and suddenly collapsed to the ground.

"Why should I be afraid of him? What right should I have to be afraid of him?!" As if he remembered something, the old man roared in his heart at himself for being so disappointing. He felt ashamed of his cowardice and sad for his past.

The flames of hatred and madness burned in his eyes, and the old man suddenly looked directly at the burly man in front of him.

What kind of look was that? In these eyes, there was no distinction between high and low, life and death, only madness and hatred that destroyed everything. This made him involuntarily take a step back. He realized that the old man in front of him was a madman who didn't care about anything.

“I know… of course I know, I will destroy this place, haha… hahahaha…” The old man suddenly laughed loudly, like a madman, “I should have done this earlier, if I had done it earlier I would not have lost everything, my wife, my daughter, everything I have, it was all taken away by you, by this era!

I should have become a pirate when I was young, so that you wouldn't oppress me, but I would plunder you!"

A burst of strength suddenly burst out from the old man's body. He broke free from the restraints of the two guards and attacked the captain of the guards with the drill hidden in his sleeve.

The sound of bullets exploding rang out. The drill in the old man's hand failed to kill the chief guard, but only left a shallow scar on his stubbled cheek. At the last moment of his life, the old man still stared at the chief guard. "I'll wait for you in hell, all of you. The devil will destroy everything. Long live the devil!"

Such things were repeated in this dark night. Qinasi's eyes slowly raised up, following the power of faith that was invisible to ordinary people, until it sank into the crescent moon and poured into the huge blood-red figure that was still roaring.

"He's that guy's believer!" Elsie's voice rang in her ears. Looking back, she saw that this guy had two white eyebrows. It seemed that he had only lost two games and was lucky.

"Lady Lily, that guy has so many believers now, and he swallowed up all the power of faith. Will he really become an evil god in the future?" Elsie looked at the growing torrent of faith in the past few days and couldn't help but click her tongue. Faith is a poison that carries the thoughts of all living beings. If it is swallowed up like this without any treatment, it will cause big problems.

Lily raised her eyes to look at the sky, a ray of light flashed across her blue pupils. Her originally ordinary eyes seemed to have the power to see through everything at this moment.

"It has no main consciousness. The desires of all living beings are mixed with pure faith. This unfiltered absorption will only make it more crazy. There are only two final results. Either a main consciousness emerges from the countless consciousnesses and becomes the dominant one, turning into a demon god that controls destruction, desire, and madness, or it becomes a collection of multiple consciousnesses, becoming an evil god with an absolutely chaotic will and constantly releasing a large amount of rule information to the outside world.

This sea is filled with oppression and violence. The number of people who follow and believe in it almost exceeds the total number of your believers. Once it becomes an evil god, its influence will easily encompass this planet. This is not good!"

After she finished speaking, the girl gently raised her hand, and a ball of faith belonging to her surrounded her hand. A wisp of green smoke rose up, and the wishes of all living beings contained in it went away with the blessing and fulfillment of the vows.

This breath of air is not enough to fulfill the believers' wishes, but it is equal to the value of this faith.

Lily did not use the method of keeping all living beings in captivity to harvest faith from the God of Faith, but instead borrowed the method of burning incense and repaying vows recorded in the jade slips stored in the system to forge the throne.

The God of faith is different from the God of rules, and there are multiple factions within it.

The most common of these is the method of theology, which is to keep all living beings in captivity, harvest faith in large quantities, eliminate the complicated beliefs of all living beings, and only leave divine authority and pure faith, condense them into theology, and ascend to the throne of God.

The divine method has the advantages of being quick and simple, and the gods are immortal as long as the believers are immortal, but the disadvantages are equally serious. Although there is a method to make up for it by retaining the pure faith of the believers after their death and leading the believers to the kingdom of God and achieving eternal life with God, its characteristic that the great power does not belong to itself still cannot be erased.

Among them, the method of becoming a god by burning incense is also known as the method of fulfilling vows and the method of worshipping gods in the human way. Of course, the method of becoming a god by burning incense should actually be regarded as a general term that includes the method of fulfilling vows and the method of worshipping gods in the human way. Compared with the method of deity, most of the beliefs it obtains have resolved cause and effect and are pure. It is only one of the sources of its divine power.

Most of these gods are highly respected people during their lifetime. After death, their human aura dissolves into their souls and becomes human yin gods.

The faith relationship between the priest and all living beings is more like a transaction. If all living beings make wishes and their requests are reasonable and do not violate the authority of the priests, they can be fulfilled based on the value of their faith, thus severing the cause and effect and leaving only pure faith.

If this is a matter classified as a divine duty, regardless of whether one has faith or not, one should do it with all one's strength. Although the power does not belong to oneself, it relies on human beings, so it is not affected by faith itself.

As for the Law of the God of Heaven and Earth, it is more inclined to the God of Rules. Its divine duties are based on the laws of Heaven and Earth and are intended to maintain Heaven and Earth itself.

If sentient beings believe in Him, they will mostly ignore things that are not related to sentient beings. Only when there is a need for faith, they may respond one or two times by fulfilling a vow. To them, faith is more like heterodoxy.

Lily didn't want a chaotic evil god to be born. The rules emanating from its chaotic will would distort everything. Now that Elsie and the others had mentioned this matter, Lily, who was not in a hurry at first, decided to solve it.

As the root of the mythology of this world and the source of all mythological power, the power of faith that belongs only to Lily is also supreme to other gods of faith. It symbolizes that the throne of the king of gods is gathered under Lily, and it also means that the rules of faith are perfected in this world.

On the white throne, there are dense runes engraved, and countless tiny marks are intertwined, as if recording and controlling everything in this world. A girl in white sits with a sword, and the crown representing the God King appears above her head.

As the girl raised her eyes slightly, the faith that was unnoticed by the world created a hurricane and gathered towards her.

Feeling the approach of this terrifying storm, Qinasi and the other two quickly blocked their extraordinary vision and perception to prevent themselves from being impacted by the will of all living beings caught up in this sudden storm.

The horrifying storm kept shrinking as it approached the throne. Endless faith and the desires of all living beings began to separate. The pure power of faith intertwined, like a pair of invisible hands weaving in front of the body, slowly forming a blank piece of silk cloth, and becoming increasingly solid.

The inky black desires of all living beings began to decompose continuously, turning into colorful silk threads that were entangled behind it bit by bit, interweaving an endless picture of all living beings behind the white silk cloth.

Thus, a Shinto foundation built entirely of faith and the thoughts of all living beings was born in Lily's hands, and it was called the List of the Gods.

Anyone who is recognized by all living beings can have their name recorded on it and ascend to the pinnacle of humanity, regardless of whether they are good or evil.

At this moment, bloody words are flowing on it, representing the name of the devil being written invisibly. It is only waiting for the only will to be born above the sky, and the god representing destruction and devastation will truly come to this world.
