"How to deal with it?"
Folding his arms, Zhou Li didn't look like someone who wanted to achieve great things at this time, but he was quite informal. "My God is really good. Medical education, water, electricity and even national defense are all one-stop services for you. You can All they need is faith. You have to know that faith is worthless to them when it comes to filling their stomachs.”
"yes."
Helpless sighs seemed to have become the norm. Helinen played with the wine glass in his hand, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, "I used to think that if we let the people have enough food and clothing, have people to rely on when they are old, and have medical treatment for their illnesses, then people will They will be bound by the gods. But even Mosk, the most prosperous city in Tariq, has 25% believers."
"Actually, there is another way."
Rubbing his chin, Zhou Li said with a strange smile, "You can become a god."
"What?"
Herinen was stunned for a moment, unable to react for a moment, "Am I a god?"
"Extreme personality worship can even surpass gods."
Zhou Li played with the badge in his hand, looked at the fine lines on it, and put forward his own opinion: "You can choose to use the power of the country to shape your personal image and make you a perfect being. You can make several Make an unjust, false or wrong case, and then solve it yourself, and then lead others to slander and attack you. At that time, you can use real evidence to refute those false slanders and slowly accumulate public prestige."
Holding the badge in his hand, Zhou Li raised his head and continued to Herinen with a faint smile: "This country is the country of the people. They will subconsciously think that they are the masters of this country. Of course, you can also use it. These trends of thought make them regard you as the god of the people, that is, every move you make represents the god. You will write your name in textbooks, compile your own slogans, and deeply imprint your image on everyone. In the hearts of the Tariq people."
Approaching Herining's ear, Zhou Li whispered softly like a demon, "By then, you will become the only god. The Tarik people will only believe in you."
Herinen was speechless, and his expression could not be seen clearly in those slightly cloudy eyes. But his hands were clenched tightly, as if he was struck by emotion.
"If you are not a brave man, I will definitely let the guards control you."
For a long time, Herinen breathed a sigh of relief, and the cold sweat on his forehead confirmed the turmoil in his heart just now.
Zhou Li's words have no meaning when compared to countries such as Magnan and Yingnan, and are even a bit ridiculous. Because in this kind of country, the word profit will overwhelm all personal worship. But only in Tariq, as Zhou Li said, the cult of personality is very easy to succeed.
The masses have the tendency to blindly follow the herd, but the conditioned reflex of being whipped out of memory and the blindness caused by thinking are two different concepts. The former are like the common people of Yingnan and the common people of Magnum. They are used to being whipped. For them, before discussing whether they are the livestock of gods, they also have a "livestock of kings and nobles" "There is no doubt about his identity.
But the Tariq people are different. For them, this country belongs to them. ....And it is natural for them to want to promote a god.
"Actually, I just had a shameful heartbeat."
Sighing, Helinen said with some self-deprecation: "I was still saying that gods restrain human beings, but after I heard what you said about personality worship, I was really moved. I think I am smarter than other people. Others have a broad vision. I understand the harm that gods can do to us and how to fight against them. So if I really become a god and lead mankind, then it will be easier for me to realize my ideals."
"Then why not?"
Zhou Li looked at Herinen with a smile and said in a calm voice, "You can definitely do this."
"But how am I different from a god like that?"
Helinen looked at Zhou Li, the expression on his face did not change much, but more of a calmness stemming from his inner self, "I alone cannot represent humanity, and even I cannot represent the people of Tariq." Rep. I don't even know how many bachelors there are on Third Street, how many civilians want to have a meal of meat. Like this
I am not qualified to become a god. "
"Mr. Zhou Li, I really like what you once said, only those who save themselves are qualified to survive."
Herinen stretched out his hand. This time, he was talking to Zhou Li as an ordinary person. "If humans only want to be fed and waiting for heroes to rescue them from the abyss, then there will be no end to what awaits humans." the abyss, and sooner or later the hero will give up on humanity."
He looked at Zhou Li, with memories and understanding in his blue eyes, "Before the disaster came, there were many countries in this world, and they all had splendid civilizations and powerful strength. But in the fight against the disaster, At this time, these people gave up hope and resistance, and just wanted to let the brave rescue them. As a result, these countries that were waiting to be saved were completely destroyed, and only a name in history was left."
"What you said was also said by Magnum III."
Thinking of the old man with whom he had difficulty dealing with, Zhou Li smiled and said to Herinen: "He said it very euphemistically and in an old-fashioned way. Of course, I think this old man is a tsundere. I am very pleased that this Although there are many idiots and imbeciles in the world, there are more people like you who always keep thinking."
"Disaster is very close, isn't it?"
Helinen looked at Zhou Li, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly asked: "Brave people and disasters will definitely appear at the same time. This is the experience brought about by three disasters. In fact, it was as early as when you emerged in Magnum. , countries around the world have fallen into panic and are actively preparing for disasters. But after several years, it seems that the disaster still has not appeared."
"But, did the disaster really not appear?"
Under the bright light, the old man's expression was unclear. He seems to want to get the answer he imagined, but he also knows that reality often does not allow him to achieve his wish so easily.
"I have no idea."
However, this time, Zhou Li did not give the answer Herinen expected. He met Helinen's gaze and shook his head calmly, "Although I am a brave man, I have no connection with the disaster. I don't know whether the disaster has appeared or not, and I don't know who the disaster is."
"But there is no possibility. In fact, I am the disaster?"... Zhou Li's words were very simple, very arrogant, and very heart-breaking.
It's like you were walking on a dark road and found someone sneakily following you behind you, and then you called the police. At this time, a cell phone ringtone came from behind you.
This is scarier than the midnight bell.
"Stop joking."
Helinen twitched the corner of his mouth and smiled stiffly: "Your joke... is a bit scary."
"happy."
Zhou Li smiled, then looked at Mosk under the night outside the window, turned his back to Herinin and said, "About the disaster, the only thing I know is that a person who should become a disaster does not become a disaster."
"Should it be a disaster?"
Helinin frowned and asked in confusion: "What does this mean?"
"literal meaning."
Picking up the wine glass on the side, Zhou Li glanced at Eluma, who was chatting with Tiya not far away, and said calmly: "A person should become a disaster, but she didn't. So I don't know whether the disaster was transferred or not. It’s been postponed, but I’m sure this disaster will be even more terrifying than before.”
"How can it be?!"
This time, Herinen lost his composure. He looked at Zhou Li in disbelief and exclaimed: "The last void invasion took away one-third of the world's population, and in the three disasters, the void invasion It is a disaster with the least destructive power and the least loss.”
"And the first disaster destroyed a golden age."
Zhou Li calmly took over Herining's words and continued: "As the first professional in the world, Ao Yu destroyed those crazy primitive gods. Of course, before he successfully destroyed those ancient gods, the once brilliant The civilization has been destroyed, leaving only ruins. The second disaster, the elements of the entire world were reshuffled, half of the world's humans died in accidents, and one-third of the professional unions fell into madness."
However, if according to the original
According to the trajectory, the Demon King's army will slaughter nine-tenths of the human beings in the entire world. Even if I finally lead the human counterattack and defeat the Demon King, the world will be on the verge of collapse.
and...
"You know what? I saw the countdown."
Zhou Li pointed at the quiet starry sky and said with a normal expression: "God's countdown."
The disaster of this life has gradually emerged in Zhou Li's heart.
Not Demon King Torrea, nor another race from another world.
It's a god.
The god whose countdown is over.
Zhou Li understood that according to the trajectory of his previous life, the gods would "end the countdown" twenty-five years after he came to this world. They will kill themselves, of course, the greater probability is to use themselves as the tinder to ignite something. But in this life, Zhou Li could clearly feel that the countdown of the gods was accelerating.
Needless to say the reason, Zhou Li didn’t even have to guess. When he came to this world, everything he did did not follow the instructions of the gods. Whether he severely defeated the Goddess of Life in Magnum, or killed the God of Death in the Battle of Muqi, he was like the bane of the gods, constantly breaking through the secrets buried by the gods.
But the most puzzling thing is that Zhou Li has already lost his excuse in the face of the twelve righteous gods, and they have all been dancing in their minefield. Except for the one shot of the Goddess of Life, these gods will never do anything again. There were no more attacks or targets on Zhou Li. Moreover, instead of targeting Zhou Li, they cowered even more, as if they had been accommodating Zhou Li. ….A dog that doesn’t bark is the scariest, because you don’t know where he is hiding or when he is going to bite you.
Everything Zhou Li was doing at this time was to break the god's conspiracy, but this would also speed up the god's countdown. From this point of view, for humans, Zhou Li, who kept urging the gods to speed up the countdown, was more like a disaster.
--------------------------
Atalona, the goddess of life, looked at the empty space and said with a gloomy face: "He no longer spoke or refuted, he just stayed in his own world and became silent."
"It seems someone has pointed him out."
The silver giant on the side slowly walked out. Shankos, the God of Commerce, looked at the void and said with a little regret: "Obviously the trend of thought has loosened, but we still can't step into that world."
"Not enough has been done."
The goddess of life shook her head, gritted her teeth and said, "What Zhou Li did is too much..."
"No one thought he could do this."
A little sigh appeared on Shankos' face that looked like it was made of pure silver. "I destroyed ninety-five percent of my experimental subjects, and found the gifts from the pioneers. If he hadn't smashed those things, I’m afraid we have already come to the human world through experimental subjects.”
"pioneer····"
Gritting her teeth and reciting the name, Atalona's beautiful emerald eyes were full of hatred, "They are the biggest hidden danger. If we hadn't found them in advance and controlled them before Gaia, , we are all finished."
"Don't worry, at least until now, the pioneers still hate this Gaia who almost killed them."
Shankos smiled with joy from the bottom of his heart, "Even our brave men seem to have doubts about Gaia now. After all, people from home will not lie to her. Let alone a group of dead people."
"Hmph."
Hearing this, Atalona's face showed some balance. She looked into the void and said with a sneer: "The most stupid thing about Gaia is to give everything to that stupid woman. It's because of her stupidity Only a brave man would hide such an important thing if he is weak. I estimate that after a while, the brave man will doubt the origin of this woman. At that time, we only need a little guidance, and Gaia will lose everything."
"A person who is unscrupulous will not trust a weak person."
Shankos smiled calmly, "The brave man's strength and inner pride are destined to prevent him from trusting the child left behind by Gaia. She is too weak, and she is guilty.
The heart is too weak. The current brave man may need her power, and may also develop those low-level human emotions. When we are unbound from humans and the day he gains our power, he will understand that only the strong will be his eternal partner. "
"It's all that bastard Katz's fault."
When mentioning Katz, an expression of disgust appeared on Atalona's face, "His weakness allowed the pioneers to learn about our plan, and it was also his stupidity that prevented Gaia from completely disappearing. If I hadn't taken action back then, That remnant with the Eye of the Pioneer knows everything."
"It doesn't matter, he has completely dissipated."
Shankos consoled him: "His descendants have all perished."
"The surname Morgan has completely disappeared."
Only God knows.
The warning Azka saw on the inheritance was not written by the pioneers.
But Gaia.
She was warning the pioneers that it was the gods who were truly crazy.
