"Is there any point in asking this now?"
Lu Li said calmly: "I told you, I came here today just to talk about things and not to kill anyone. Although I did have the idea of killing you when I saw you, I know that killing you will not solve any problems at all. Even if I kill you sitting in the temple, I can't completely disintegrate the religion."
"As for why I can guess that there is more than one you, you should ask yourself this answer."
"You told me yourself."
"Did I tell you?" Pope Shenhua looked at Lu Li, as if he suddenly understood something. He smiled first, then shook his head and sighed: "It's wonderful, it's really wonderful. Lu Li, I have to admit, if it weren't for you If you are unable to become a servant of God, I even want you to join the Divine Religion and spread the gifts of God with me."
"Pity."
"We are destined to never be friends."
Pope Shenhua slowly stopped smiling, waved his hand to signal the men in black robes not to be vigilant, and said softly: "In my current state, if the devil wants to kill me, what can you do?"
"grown ups… "
The middle-aged man in black robes with scars on his face seemed unwilling to give in and wanted to say something else, but when he looked at Pope Shenhua's firm expression, he couldn't say a word.
"Tell me, Lu Li, with the way you act, since you are here, you must have a lot of questions to ask."
This time, Pope Shenhua directly dismissed the men in black robes, and then he sat quietly on a stone and said calmly: "If I can answer you, I won't hide anything."
"It seems you know me very well." Lu Li smiled, "You also know what I want to ask."
Although I am not sure what kind of state the Shenhua Pope is currently in, whether it is an incarnation, or whether it has cut off his soul and consciousness by some means and can create unlimited 'self', no matter which one it is, the current Shenhua Sect Zong obviously also has the same memory as the 'Shenhua' of the divine religion.
Moreover, judging from his actions in dismissing those men in black robes, Lu Li knew that Pope Shenhua should have guessed what he wanted to ask.
As expected, Pope Shenhua took a deep look at Lu Li and said calmly: "You want to ask why the Divine Religion creates gods and why it wants to control the situation in this Zhenwu Domain?"
Lu Li did not answer, but the expression on his face proved that Pope Shenhua's words were correct.
Pope Shenhua chuckled lightly, "Creating heavenly beings is not the first work of the divine religion."
"I know that before you, Gu Ting and Dou Zun have already walked on this road. It's just that Gu Ting is not so pure. They are more like a group of lunatics who will do anything for power."
Before Pope Shenhua could continue, Lu Li said: "Strictly speaking, the current divine religion is the 'Guting' that has inherited those legacies."
A trace of astonishment flashed across Pope Shenhua's face, "I didn't expect that you really know a lot of things."
He really didn't expect that Lu Li's understanding of the divine religion had actually reached this point.
However, he quickly nodded and continued following Lu Li's words: "That's right, the current divine sect is indeed a force established on the ruins of Guting. It's just that you are wrong. Guting does not They are not a group of lunatics who do anything for power, they are more like the pioneers of this world. What they really want is not power, but the truth."
the truth
Lu Li frowned slightly.
Pope Shenhua explained: "Have you never thought about why there are powerful alien races such as gods, demons, and water gods outside the heavens? Where does their power come from? In what way is the personality of the world Evolving? What impact will a world of self-awareness have on warriors? A strong person can turn over rivers and seas, even break through the void, travel across the heavens, and destroy a world. Even if we know that such strong people are also trained from 'human beings' OK, then is there an invincible 'god' in this world?"
"Why is the highest state of human warriors called seeing gods? Some people say that it is because the gods of alien races are outside the sky. Only in the state of seeing gods can one break through the space and see the gods. In other words, only by reaching Only by meeting the realm of gods and becoming heavenly beings can we stand at the same starting point as those alien races outside the world."
"Don't you think this statement is weird?"
Lu Li's brows furrowed even more tightly, but then relaxed again.
In fact, he already has some ideas about the division of human martial arts realms. Especially the experience that belonged to Ling'er's father, Jing Qian, who was seen in the God's Killing Seal. He created the Gate of Heaven and Humanity and banned martial arts so that the development of the human race would not get out of control and lead to the promotion of the True Martial Domain. , appearing in the eyes of a more powerful person.
Therefore, seeing the divine realm most likely means breaking the shackles and seeing the truth.
"In my opinion, everything seems to be covered with a layer of mist. Although I can see some things dimly, I can't see them clearly at all."
Pope Shenhua said lightly: "Gu Ting must have had the same idea back then. There are too many secrets in this world. The more powerful you are, the more afraid you are, and at the same time, the more you want to know the truth. Therefore, someone proposed to pass The nature of these 'powers', in turn, is used to study the true secrets of this world."
"Man-making heavenly beings is just one of the projects."
"What the religion really pursues is not to create a paradise belonging to God, but to create a world without secrets."
When he said this, he adjusted his sitting position slightly, looked at Lu Li and said, "Believe this, you are just like us. You are extremely bored with those secrets, and even the process of pursuing them has begun to feel boring."
Lu Li did not deny this, but asked instead: "According to your statement, the divine religion should be the kind of force that has no struggle with the world. But your behavior is different from what you say now."
"Rights, power, and all the other things in this world can make people lose themselves."
Pope Shenhua said as if he was mocking himself: "I am just a mortal. No matter how firm the thoughts in my heart are, I will eventually be immersed in these desires and be unable to extricate myself. But it is precisely because of this that I will use this method to win over God. When the trajectory of teaching begins to deviate from the original intention, stop yourself from continuing to make mistakes."
"The so-called reformists are just a poor man's self-struggle."
Sometimes, when the truth is revealed in front of your eyes, many things will become extremely ridiculous.
Lu Li was also pondering.
Does he believe what Pope Shenhua says
I believe it, but not entirely.
Pope Shenhua must be an old antique who has lived for who knows how many years. His words may be true, but at least half of them are lies!
But even if he didn't believe it, Lu Li would not fall out with Pope Shenhua today.
Thoughts swirled in his mind for a while, and Lu Li suddenly showed a relieved smile and said calmly: "Either you are struggling with yourself, or you simply want to control the whole world. I have always believed in profit cooperation, and now you are innovating The power of the sect is obviously no match for the divine religion itself. You, on the other hand, have managed the divine religion so well that it is a headache even for you, right?"
"The person who knows you best is often you. Now you are fighting with your left hand and your right hand. I don't care what your ambitions are. I only know that instead of letting the lunatic who is still in the cult continue to be crazy, it is better to let you Give him some trouble."
"Lu Li, you think things are too simple." After hearing these words, Pope Shenhua couldn't help but laugh and said: "Even if I want to overthrow myself now, let the divine religion return to its proper track. But this does not mean that I will join forces with you to severely damage the divine religion."
"The person who knows me best is myself. I know that no matter how I fight with him, the interests of the divine religion come first. It is impossible for me to join forces with anyone who wants to be an enemy of the divine religion."
Pope Shenhua sighed and said, "I'm afraid your wishful thinking will come to nothing this time."
"Really?" Lu Li also smiled and said, "I think the truth is not what you said, right? If you really think so, why did he send people to warn me several times not to get involved with you? "
"Pope Shenhua, let's be more honest, what do you think?"
