Su Mingan walked into the church.觧
Sunlight shines through the stained glass windows and reflects into the walls engraved with ancient legends. Firefly-like dust particles float in the air, clear and shining. He saw a dozen young female students sitting on the benches. They were reading with their heads down, and the sound of books was loud.
The female students were wary of strangers at first, but after seeing Su Mingan's face, they quickly relaxed.
"Wen Sheng, are you looking for the godfather again today?" A female student with a ponytail stood up and said, "He is in the back room."
"Yeah." Su Mingan nodded.
"Brother Wen Sheng, I still don't understand some of the talisman seals you taught me before. Can you give me some more guidance?" asked another short-haired female student. There was a name tag hanging around her neck, with her name "Jiang Xiaoshan" written on it.
Su Mingan understood the situation - it seemed that these female students were all protected by their godfathers. They might have lost relatives in the war and had been displaced. If they are allowed to live alone in the city, they may encounter misfortune at any time. The godfather took them in, allowing them to live and study in the safest church, and also asked Su Wensheng to teach them talismans occasionally.
Su Ming'an glanced at the talisman in Jiang Xiaoshan's hand. It happened to be the "Jiu Order: Stillness" he knew. He exchanged a few words with Jiang Xiaoshan, and she looked grateful.觧
"So that's it, thank you Brother Wen Sheng!" Jiang Xiaoshan smiled.
Other students immediately came together and asked Su Mingan for advice, but Su Mingan was not the original Su Wensheng. His foundation was not solid at all and he could not deal with these people.
"I'll go find the godfather first." Su Mingan turned around and ran away.
"The godfather is inside, chatting with a customer." The ponytail female student named "Jiang Yunmeng" said to Su Ming'an.
"Brother Wen Sheng, the college entrance examination will be held in a few days. Let's go together then." Jiang Xiaoshan said coyly.
"I know." Su Mingan glanced at the main mission. The previous main mission of "Let Surolo's fans reach 10,000" has been completed.

[Perfect Clearance Mission·Third Ring: "College Entrance Examination"
Task requirements: Take the college entrance examination and get admitted to Beiqing University. During this period, be sure not to reveal your other identities.
Mission reward: 5% progress for perfect clearance
Task notes: In the third step, you need to be admitted to Beiqing University as an ordinary student so that you can have access to more talents. My dear Wen Sheng. 】
…
This was the first time that Su Mingan encountered a task prompt that guided him so carefully. The first step is to "go to the library to learn talismans", the second step is to "let Su Luoluo have 10,000 fans and gain her trust", and the third step is to "get into Beiqing University for the college entrance examination". These tasks have nothing to do with each other, but they make the entire plot line traceable.
——It seems to be really depicting Su Wensheng's "life". First it’s study, then it’s getting along with good friends, and then it’s the college entrance examination. Could it be that the fourth link is finding a job?觧
Su Mingan said goodbye to the female student and went straight to the end of the church. There was a large cubicle inside, and there was a faint sound of conversation. It seemed that the godfather was in the cubicle.
Su Mingan stopped for a moment and listened to the conversation between the two people inside.
"...Bishop. If an apple claims to be an apple, its appearance is an apple, social recognition is an apple, and self-recognition is an apple, then even if its essence is a pear, it is now an apple." The voice of the speaker Clear and elegant, it reminds people of silk-like texture, with a unique charm.
When Su Mingan heard this accent, he felt familiar - isn't this the tone of voice of the player Burris?
What are you talking about? fruit?
"Burris." The godfather's voice came out, as cold as jade beads, which was in sharp contrast to Burris's pretended elegant tone: "If society and appearance only fixed it as an apple, it would always claim to be a pear. ?」
Burris chuckled: "What's the use? The whole world thinks it's an apple, so what can it be? It can only be an apple. No matter how you emphasize it or claim it is a pear, even if its essence is really A pear, everyone will declare it to be an apple."
觧
"It can't be changed no matter what?" asked the godfather.
"It's hard to change anyway," Burris said.
"What if this "apple" is powerful enough to use force or even the power of faith to change the world's perception, so that the world has to admit that it is a pear? "said the godfather.
Burris laughed, a low laugh, like red wine poured slowly into a glass.
"Then - it is what it thinks it is. If it says it is a pear, then the world can only think of it as a pear. Even if it says that it is a grape, a peach, or a synthetic watermelon, the world can only recognize it. Self-perception and the entire social cognition will change with its words." Burris paused, and his tone was filled with a more contagious smile: "This apple is powerful enough to change the world. Cognition, to the point of calling a deer a horse. All newborns will be indoctrinated by adults: "Look at that thing that looks like an apple, it is actually a pear. If you don't believe it, our whole family will be declared a heretic, so you must believe that thing "It's a pear", so "apple" became "pear" from then on, and it has continued throughout human history, so much so that in history books for dozens of centuries, humans have called it "pear". "
Su Mingan listened to the two people inside riddles to each other. It seems that the two men were using metaphors and hints to discuss issues of belief in gods.
If the "destiny" of human beings is arranged by the gods, no matter what, "Apple" can only die as "Apple" and accept the ending of death as "Apple". And it had the chance to become a "pear", but was deprived of the possibility of changing the outcome by social cognition. So what caused all this - it was human beings' ignorant beliefs that fixed the so-called "social cognition".觧
People originally use their five senses to perceive the world, no matter whether something is real or not. Human cognition is inherently constructed, and the values that determine the perpetrator and the victim are dualistic. This is also true for determining what is an "apple" and what is a "pear".
At this time, there was a soft sound inside, and Burris seemed to stand up: "Bishop Li, it's nice to talk to you this time, but do you still want to persist in serving the gods? I am in Queen Bronte's Assante Kingdom. Founded a church called "Lighthouse Religion", dedicated to resisting fate. If you can help us, maybe the gods are not invincible. "
The godfather sighed softly: "You don't understand the enemy you face at all, nor do you understand how huge this world is. Looking at the sky in a well, you are still a frog. I forgive me for not being able to help you."
"Do you think the gods are invincible?" Burris' voice became a little angry.
"Yes. But you are not enough," said the godfather.
"Am I not enough? Then who do you think is enough? Dream Patrolman Yi Zhongyu? Yang Jiajun who masters the ancient inheritance of talismans? Or the leader of the old Holy See? The leader of the Human Self-Salvation Alliance? Which one of them is better than me?" Burris heard the godfather Looking down on him so much, he sneered. He originally only heard that the church leader in this abandoned city was very powerful, so he came to try to recruit people to join him, but he didn't expect that the other party was so aloof.
"Billions of "yous." "said the godfather.觧
Burris was silent for a long time this time.
With this sentence blocking all answers, Burris stopped talking to the godfather and opened the door.
As soon as Burris opened the door, he bumped into Su Ming'an who was waiting at the door. Burris took a look and passed by Su Ming'an, not recognizing that it was Su Ming'an.
When Su Mingan saw it, he felt complicated. Burris was wearing an extremely gorgeous robe. The base is red silk, and gold threads are embroidered on the silk in a radial pattern, outlining a straight lighthouse with the words "Lighthouse Cult" written on the back. He also held a 1.5-meter-long golden lighthouse scepter in his hand, which looked extremely sacred.
Take a look, it's weird.
Su Mingan took another look, and it was still strange.
No idea what Burris is playing.觧
Burris didn't notice Su Mingan's gaze and walked out.
"...Is Wen Sheng at the door?" The godfather's cold voice came from inside: "Come in."
Su Mingan stopped looking at Burris and walked into the inner room. Facing the front is a giant stained glass - a picture of a blue-eyed angel descending to the mortal world and reaching out to the devil in the abyss.
A man all in pure white stood in front of the stained glass. The sunlight shone on his body through the glass, shaking the colorful light spots. It seemed that there were invisible white wings following the clear sunlight, slowly moving on his arms. Expand.
"Sit down." The godfather turned around, revealing a jade-like face.
At this moment, Su Mingan discovered an astonishing thing - the godfather in front of him had pure white hair, pure white eyes, and no trace of color in his body, as if an angel had descended into the world - this man had the same relationship with the game "Lou Yue Kingdom" The national teacher Li Mingyue is exactly the same.
"How have you been lately?" Godfather asked.觧
"...It's okay." Su Ming'an said.
"Yes." The godfather responded, looking at the thick book in his hand without looking up.
Su Mingan sat for a while and never heard the godfather's next sentence. He raised his head. His godfather was still standing by the stained glass, looking at the book in his hand, as if he had forgotten that Su Ming'an was sitting here. Such a selfless attitude is exactly the same as the national master in the game.
"Godfather..." Su Mingan shouted softly.
"Huh?" The godfather tilted his head.
He looks very young, even though he is Su Wensheng's godfather. But he looks only a few years older than Su Wensheng, as if he is eternally young. The white pupils give people a sense of trance, as if they can reflect all the colors in the world.
"Lou Yue Kingdom..." Su Ming'an only said three words and then said nothing more, hoping that the godfather would take over the topic by himself.觧
However, the godfather just looked at him quietly, like an elder waiting for his junior to speak. There was no trace of impatience on his face. It seemed that even if the two of them were in a stalemate for eternity, he wouldn't say a word.
"The national master of Lou Yue Kingdom is Li Mingyue." Seeing that his godfather did not answer, Su Ming'an could only finish the sentence by himself: "Is that you?"
"Are you sure you want me to answer this question?" the godfather said.
At this moment, Su Mingan's sense of crisis suddenly shook.
"No, forget it." Su Mingan immediately denied.
This is a world full of [rules]. He suspected that if he rashly asked questions that he shouldn't ask, he would violate some kind of [rule]. After becoming the "Baishen" profession, he is particularly sensitive to human emotions and crises.
"But I can answer part of your question," the godfather said.觧
Su Mingan straightened his posture.
"Once upon a time, there was a confused child. His memory was not good and he easily forgot things. So whenever he went to school, he would secretly copy the text on his arms and stomach, so that he could hide it from the door and avoid being stolen. An old scholar of books. After this child left school, he spread the text so that people in the world could read. In this way, everyone in the world has wisdom and knowledge, and is no longer a fool who works hard. " said the godfather. .
Su Ming'an was still listening attentively, but the godfather suddenly stopped without further words.
……what is this? Storytelling, metaphor, suggestion?
Su Mingan was stunned for a moment and secretly wrote down the story.
"By the way, I came to you this time because the gods want to talk to you." The godfather said.
"Huh?" Su Mingan was confused.觧
...gods?
"Get ready and I'll ask Him to come over," the godfather said.
"Wait..." Su Ming'an realized what the godfather meant and immediately reached out to stop him.
He's not ready at all!
He originally thought that he would meet the ultimate BOSS, God, at the last moment, either fifteen days or twenty days later. By then, he would have fully developed and conquered the world, surrounded by powerful comrades, and the clues and plots had been explored. That's almost it - but it's only the second day, and the gods are about to strike him in the face?
What is the difference between this and the final BOSS blocking people in Novice Village?
Just when Su Mingan was about to speak, he saw his godfather closing his eyes.觧
The sunlight shines through the stained glass on the man's white hair, as if the snow is about to melt in the clear morning light. The man's eyes closed for a brief moment, and when he opened them again, he seemed to be no different from the previous second.
"Godfather, wait a moment before calling on the gods. I need to prepare
one time. "Su Mingan grabbed the godfather's hand to prevent him from making any movements to summon the gods.
The godfather lowered his head, his eyes wandering over Su Ming'an's hands, his eyes darkening slightly.
"Su Wensheng?" The godfather's voice was cold.
"..." Su Mingan instantly understood that the person in front of him might have changed - the person he was talking to now was the "god" of this world.
The one who caused Evet to be brutally smashed to death by a steel frame, turned countless believers into fanatics, and arranged the fate of countless human beings to death - the cold, ruthless, and powerful "god". His religious dominance is better than that of Su Lin, and the world he controls is far wider than Xiao Ai. Even the terrifying deep-sea tentacle monsters are under his command. He is the most suitable individual unit Su Ming'an has ever seen to be called a "god". .
It is impossible to imagine His strength, His weakness, and His nature.觧
Facing the cold gaze of the god, Su Mingan shook his head and thought for a moment.
"No, I am the leader of the Lighthouse." Su Mingan said.
The god's face showed visible surprise, with an expression of "What are you talking about?"
