2068 The origins of the believers (1)
It was obvious that the rules here were the same as other places. The core area was guarded by the strongest experts.
If anything happened, the believers who gathered in the square to cultivate would immediately transform and become the barrier to protect the Grand temple.
However, the so-called experts only had empty realms. They were unable to display the ability to destroy the world.
This was also something that Tang Zhen was unable to understand. This was because the rules of this world were very strange. One could clearly possess great strength, yet one was unable to unleash the destructive power that they should have.
For example, he had tried to fly and kill sea monsters with more violent means, but he had failed without exception.
It was like being in water and being unable to light up wood, leaving one helpless.
It was as if the laws of this world did not allow such a terrifying destructive power to exist, so even if he had the ability, he could not display it at all.
Why did the creator of the God’s kingdom make such a rule? was he wary of something, such as being afraid that someone would use this power to destroy the Grand temple?
Just as Tang Zhen was frowning and thinking, the believer who had been chatting with him for a long time slowly walked to a huge god statue.
The statue was covered in a long black robe, and there was a pair of green eyes under the hood, exuding a dark and mysterious aura.
Around its body, there were balls of green flames that burned continuously for years.
The believer’s expression was serious. He stared at the statue for a long time before he slowly bowed.
Tang Zhen stood at the side and quietly waited for the other party. He was not in a hurry to head to the Grand temple.
Not long after, the believer turned around and returned. He nodded gently to Tang Zhen.
from what I saw just now, you didn’t seem to have much respect for the Grand temple, so why are you bowing to this statue? ”
Tang Zhen was extremely curious about this believer in front of him. He kept feeling that the other party was very interesting.
In addition, as a human, he was qualified to come to the Grand temple, so he was obviously an extraordinary person. Perhaps he could learn more about him.
After hearing Tang Zhen’s question, that believer laughed, to be honest, I do respect and hate this God. It changed my original life.
The believer spoke with confidence in public, as if he was not afraid of offending the gods at all, and did not care if others heard his words.
“I was originally just an ordinary person. One time, when I was strolling around the old goods market, I accidentally saw a metal statue the size of a thumb.
That statue looks exactly the same as the one I bowed to just now, just that it’s countless times smaller.
When the stall owner heard that I wanted to buy the statue, he asked for an extremely low price, as if he was eager to sell it as soon as possible.
At the time, I didn’t pay much attention to it and just treated it as an ordinary item. I bought it and left it in a corner of my house.
Who knew that from then on, I would dream every night that the statue had come to life and seemed to be teaching me something.”
“At that time, I was terrified and thought that I had encountered something strange. So, the first thing I did was to throw this statue into the river.
However, when I returned home, the statue was still on the table as if it had never been moved.
You can’t understand how I felt at that time. I was about to go crazy, and I felt particularly terrified and helpless.”
At this point, the believer looked emotional. It was obvious that he had been tortured.
“I took a hammer and hit the statue like crazy. Then I burned it and corroded it with acid, but it didn’t work.
Even when I walked on the streets, I could see human figures transformed from statues everywhere. They were like ghosts, appearing in front of me at any time.
In the end, I completely broke down and locked myself in the room, not daring to go out. This way, I could avoid seeing those strange things.”
Tang Zhen listened to the other party’s description. He frowned slightly and said,”If I’m not wrong, everything you’ve encountered is just an illusion.
In fact, from the beginning to the end, the statue didn’t move at all. Everything was just your imagination, right?”
After hearing Tang Zhen’s analysis, the believer laughed bitterly and said,”You’re right. From the moment I touched the statue, I was already confused by the runic magic circle on the statue.
Whether it was the statue that I had thrown away or the illusions I had seen on the streets, they were all just my own imagination.
However, I didn’t know any of this at the time. I was certain that I was entangled with demons and was in a constant state of panic. I didn’t dare to sleep at all.
after that, I was exhausted and could only fall into a deep sleep with fear. The God statue that brought me despair appeared in my dream again.
Surprisingly, I was able to understand what the God statue was saying. It was actually about the cultivation method.
Due to my curiosity, I tried to follow the method that the statue had told me. As a result, I gradually discovered that I had actually mastered some magical abilities.
“Using these abilities, my fate began to change rapidly. Many things that I could only think about in the past could now be done easily.
From that moment on, my fear turned into joy, and my respect for the statue grew.
Just when I thought that this statue was omnipotent and I had reached the peak of my life, I was suddenly summoned to this world.”
When the other party said this, he let out a soft sigh that seemed to contain endless bitterness and unwillingness.
all the wealth and riches disappeared, and everything around me was so strange and terrifying. This made me fall into confusion and panic again.
I had to start from the beginning. I risked my life to pass the first test and obtained the pass to come here.
I originally thought that after all the suffering, there would be a happy ending. Who would have thought that what awaited me was still endless killing.
After I was dispirited for a while, I pulled myself together again because I didn’t want to die yet. I wanted to return to the world I was originally in.
The only way to achieve this dream was to keep killing sea monsters and accumulate enough battle merits.
In fact, this world was very fair. One could increase their strength by accumulating battle merits. As long as they did not die, there would always be a day when they would make it big.
However, all of this was exchanged with my blood, sweat, and tears, not a gift from the gods, so I would not be grateful to him.
After experiencing a series of unforeseen events, he’s like a fool at the mercy of others. How much respect do you think I have in my heart under such circumstances?”
Tang Zhen nodded when he heard this. He could also sense similar emotions from the other believers.
This so-called Trial of the Gods was full of suspicions. It made people feel that the believers were used to resist the sea monsters and become cannon fodder in a cruel war.
Since this believer dared to talk about this topic in public, it was certain that most of the believers more or less had such thoughts in their hearts.
Even if the others heard it, they wouldn’t care at all. After all, they had the same thoughts in their hearts and were even more furious.
It was just that they were in prison and had no choice at all. They could only act according to the rules here and make their situation better.
“Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. In fact, this place is also considered heaven for those with ability.
For example, you might have a higher military rank than me the next time we meet. After all, your strength is there, so it will be easier for you to accumulate military merits.”
Tang Zhen smiled but did not say anything. To him, a military rank that did not have any real power was not important. The thing that was truly useful was military achievements.
When the believer saw that Tang Zhen didn’t speak, he pointed at the Grand temple in front and said in a slightly helpless tone,”The holiday time is limited, so let’s enter the Grand temple and get down to business first.
If we waste too much time, we’ll definitely lose a large amount of battle merits. It’s not worth it. ”
Tang Zhen gently nodded and walked through the long passage with the believer. Then, under the gaze of a group of soldiers in heavy golden armor, they entered the Grand temple.
