Fortunately, he had actually been to the world of immortal cultivators, so he thought about it and said, "Actually, when gods say something, we generally think that our ancient ancestors worshiped natural phenomena and the leaders of the ethnic group.
The significance of the existence of gods lies in the deepening of belief, which makes it easier to unite one's own ethnic group and thereby improve one's own survival and expansion rate.
If the myths have something in common, then the inevitable reasons are also similar.
In addition, similar things may have really happened before, but there were no written records. Later people regarded them as stories.
As for the Ark or water control just mentioned, it may be a local effect.
After all, geological and archaeological research has found that during the Great Flood era of all mankind, we humans had not yet developed a large-scale civilization at that time. "
The leader smiled: "So the teacher thinks that gods do not exist?"
"That's not true," Xu Mochen shook his head decisively, "As researchers, the most important thing for us is evidence.
In fact, scientists in history who are better than us do not deny gods.
But to prove its existence, or its non-existence, evidence is needed.
But since it doesn't exist, there is naturally no evidence.
So this is the 'paradox of the non-existence of gods'. "
After hearing this, everyone in the car laughed.
Lian Shu Wuyin couldn't help but pursed his lips and shook his head.
"Teacher," someone laughed so hard that he couldn't breathe, "You are just changing the concept.
What does it mean that there is no evidence to prove that gods do not exist? Then it is impossible to be sure that gods really do not exist! "
"That's right! There are no gods in the first place. Where is the evidence that they don't exist?"
"This is similar to an alien paradox."
Xu Mochen spoke again amidst the discussion: "What I'm talking about is just a direction of thinking.
We don’t often say, I think, therefore I am.
Therefore, if we think about the existence of gods, they exist.
But since they are gods, their methods must be better than ours. They don’t want us to know, so we can’t know. "
"Hahaha——" The team leader and everyone laughed.
"I can't tell that Teacher Xu has a humorous side. This god is indeed a god. Most people can't see him."
Xu Mochen kept smiling and said nothing more.
But he was secretly relieved.
Mortal thoughts can usually reflect the direction of the world.
Especially in today's era, information transparency is very high, and there is little that can be concealed.
If the immortal cultivators in this world intend to interfere with the human race, there are more or less traces to follow.
For example, in the main world, when he "traveled" to the past and became emperor, he never thought about the possibility of gods existing.
After all, the shadow world he came from, which is where he comes from, is only regarded as legends and stories about gods.
Then just like in the beginning, once the gods were exposed, they had no scruples.
The reason is very simple. They are not afraid of being known by mortals at all, because in terms of status, they belong to the upper class.
But it's obviously different here. Everyone talks about the gods without restraint and can even make fun of them.
In other words, there are no traces of gods in the mortal world.
Even if it is possible, it should be like him, with magical powers sealed away.
This is the law of the shadow world. You can cultivate immortality, exist, and come to the mortal world, but you must abide by the constraints and laws of mortals.
At the same time, it may also mean that if a god walks as a mortal, he will have to pay a heavy price if he dies.
Among them is the real fall.
This kind of world structure... is completely different from the main world.
Does that mean that gods are insignificant here?
No, because from the discussion just now by the people in the car, we can see the desire of mortals to "cultivate immortality".
In other words, gods here have become more of a belief.
They are the faith in the hearts of all mortals, and the dreams that are beyond the reach of all mortals but always in their hearts.
Xu Mochen thought about what he had just said, "I think, therefore I am."
So in this world, when "missing", gods will exist.
Of course, Xu Mochen believes that this kind of longing is not a simple thought of an ordinary person, but must have a rather complicated connection.
A given that should exist objectively has turned into a vague subjective meaning. It is really a trick.
This may also be because Tu Dao Xiaoyao has experienced the main world and has new ideas.
This is another kind of eternal life, not just the concept of physical body, soul, spirit, and soul.
"The gods that exist in the mind can't be denied even if they say they don't exist. They can appear at any time," Xu Mochen sighed in a low voice, "It's really a good trick!"
No wonder, there are not many immortals from Blue Star who followed Tu Dao to the main world, but they can occupy a corner in each realm and help him complete the tenth life agreement together.
Shu Wuyin raised his eyes and glanced at him: "Did you discover something?"
"Well," Xu Mochen was very sure, "there are no immortal cultivators in this world."
Shu Wuyin smiled: "You are right."
She did not object to Xu Mochen's statement, because no matter how she said it, it was meaningless.
The vehicle drove for most of the day, and at night, it was finally close to its destination.
Naturally, they are all barren mountains and wild ridges, but now archeology generally has outposts, and they have built temporary residences, so when the large troops arrive, they are not so embarrassed.
Xu Mochen and Shu Wuyin got out of the car. Their cultivation levels were sealed, but their perceptions were still much sharper than normal people.
"There is a little bit of spiritual energy," Shu Wuyin looked around. "It's very weak. From our side, it's almost negligible."
"The too weak spiritual energy led to the severance of the immortal path in this world?" This was Xu Mochen's immediate guess, "The words of the gods have become history."
"You're not saying that maybe the immortals in this world have different ways of cultivating immortality from us." Shu Wuyin pursed his lips and smiled.
"So maybe we are going in the wrong direction," Xu Mochen hugged her and walked towards her residence. "Aura may exist, but it is hidden in the mortal world in other ways."
"Where is the immortal fate?" Shu Wuyin continued to ask, "I don't seem to feel it either."
"It's naturally hidden deeper," Xu Mochen was not in a hurry, "Now that we're here, and we've appeared in this way, the answer won't be too far away."
The house built was also an iron house, but it was very cold here at night, so the house was kept warm.
Xu Mochen and the others are not afraid of the cold, but as mortal bodies, it would be easier if they could.
The members of the archaeological team thoughtfully sent the two of them a salute and some daily necessities.
Xu Mochen opened several large boxes. In addition to clothes, there were also a lot of information and books.
He has no memory of these books.
It's strange to say that his memories of "before time travel" are now even more blurry.
It seems that it ended not long after graduating from college, but what about before?
Nothing seemed too impressive, not even his own parents.
After thinking about it, he took out the book and opened it casually.
They are all of the ancient material type.
He thought it was nothing, but after looking at it for a while, he suddenly felt a heat between his brows.
The words on the book actually flashed with light.
Immediately, a circle of spiritual energy swayed inside the room.
This unusual movement made even Shu Wuyin turn his head and look over.
Xu Mochen couldn't help but smile, that's why.
This world is not without aura, but it is hidden.
No longer like before, the spiritual energy is very intuitive and thick enough that most people can perceive it.
Just like the main world, where there is abundant spiritual energy, mortals feel differently. If they live there for a long time, even if they don't absorb it intentionally, there will be spiritual energy in their bodies.
In that case, it actually means that the road to immortality will be easier.
But not here. For example, Xu Mochen now discovered that spiritual energy is contained in books.
Moreover, he had just flipped through a page or two, touching the spiritual energy in it and creating quite a ripple.
In other words, the aura of this world is no less than that of the main world, but it is just more difficult to discover.
Not to mention other media that carry spiritual energy, just books. How many books are there in this world?
Based on Xu Mochen's understanding of Blue Star, although civilization after the beginning of human writing only lasted a few thousand years, the number of books was very large.
There is no way, everyone likes to write books.
Not to mention that nowadays, there is a lot of online literature.
It is simply incredible that words can contain the power of spiritual energy!
Shu Wuyin was also very surprised: "In this case, could it be that the immortal cultivators in this world are following the route of the Natural Sect?"
"I'm afraid it's not just that," Xu Mochen breathed out, "Maybe it's not just words, but also language, images, etc. Otherwise, immortal cultivators in other realms will not exist."
That is, if you can only rely on reading to become an immortal, then there is nothing that monsters, elves, etc. can do.
But Xu Mochen doesn't think that the way of heaven here is so single.
To test it further, he opened his laptop.
There is no internet nearby, but there is satellite data communication.
Once connected, he casually started browsing the web.
Shu Wuyin came closer and she looked at it with gusto: "This world is very nice. Are everything written in it true?"
Xu Mochen briefly explained a few words, and she sighed with emotion: "Our world is said to be all-encompassing, and gods can see through the world at a glance, but in fact they don't have the same ability as this little guy."
"Technology is superimposed on part of the magic," Xu Mochen pointed at the screen. "The root cause is that the origin of the gods is also human beings, and the things they initially pursue are consistent in many places."
This time, Xu Mochen did not get inspired by the Internet.
Of course, this doesn't mean it's impossible.
He searched some more ancient books, but found nothing.
Thinking about it, he continued to browse the Internet.
After a while, my eyebrows felt warm again. This time, some words appeared on the laptop screen, and then glowed.
As usual, a ball of spiritual energy spread out in the room.
But these auras quickly disappeared.
"So that's it," Xu Mochen couldn't help but shake his head, "Not only the aura, but also the magical powers are also hidden in the words."
Yes, this is one of the secrets of immortal cultivators in this world.
Unlike the main world, the aura is so obvious and the magic is clearly recorded.
Here, everything is broken up and hidden.
All words, if they can touch the connection between each other, can stimulate spiritual energy.
In the same way, magic can also be discovered.
As for immortality, Xu Mochen believes that it is also among them.
Text can be used, other languages, images, etc. are also possible.
Therefore, if birds and animals come into contact with mortals, listen to what they say, and watch what they do, they can also touch the path of immortality.
As for becoming an immortal cultivator, that means entering another dimension, which is different from ordinary people.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Mochen searched for information about gods and other things, and it was exactly as he expected.
Viewed rationally and objectively, it is more about legends and myths, as well as entertainment fun.
Shu Wuyin looked at the movie special effects and couldn't help but marveled: "It's a different way."
"Well," Xu Mochen also noticed, "This is a movie, there is nothing surprising about it.
Everything you say is fake, such as flying, or using magical powers, all are fake post-production.
Then it was turned into a movie and remains as video material.
However, this contains spiritual energy and magic.
Those who are predestined can naturally gain insights from it. "
"So here, spiritual energy and immortality can be said to be nowhere to be found, but they exist everywhere." Shu Wuyin let out a long sigh, "As for the immortal cultivators, will they be the same as ours over there, with a more complicated composition."
"Without deliberate interference, the foundation for forming the Immortal Road was like this," Xu Mochen thought for a moment, "the world would not have become like ours.
However, the gods here may not be able to live forever. I deserve to be a physical body or a soul.
We don't know what will happen after ascension, but if they have eternal life, they can exist forever relying on the human race. "
Simply put, as long as someone "remembers" the existence of a certain god, then this god can exist.
Of course, this thought must be conditional.
No matter which world it is, those at the top of the pyramid are destined to be a minority.
But even so, compared to Shifang World, Xu Mochen felt that this place was really beautiful.
Immortal cultivators pursue something more pure.
Perception is more important than absolute strength.
"Then...you said he is the way of heaven in this world?" Shu Wuyin asked.
"My memory at the time told me that it was like that," Xu Mochen frowned slightly, "But..."
He vaguely felt that there seemed to be something different.
At this time, a pleasant ringtone rang in the house.
Shu Wuyin's cell phone rang. She didn't know how to use it, so she naturally handed it to Xu Mochen.
Xu Mochen smiled and took it, it was a video communication.
"I don't know..." As he was saying, he suddenly looked at the name displayed on the video number and was stunned.
The word "baby" is clearly written on it.
In an instant, Xu Mochen felt that some things might not be as simple as he imagined.
He was always calm, but his finger that pressed the call button actually trembled a little.
As soon as the call was connected, a young boy's voice sounded: "Mom and Dad!" (End of Chapter)
