Joshua scratched his head, rubbing his fingers with his hair, and a series of lightning sparks exploded.
Joshua pondered for a moment, and even a blind man could tell that he was thinking.
Joshua touched his chin with his right hand and finally sighed.
"With all due respect, Your Majesty Yue'ai, I don't think your order is acceptable."
He said this with a sincere and sincere tone: "To be honest, it's a bit silly."
"oh?"
The God of Love and Decline raised his brows and said softly: "Then, where is the stupider thing?"
Neither of them paid attention to His Majesty the Pope, who was gesturing desperately at the side. Yue Ai laughed softly and seemed not to be angry because of Joshua's outspokenness: "We often do debates between orders, don't worry about words. The excesses are of no consequence to God.”
"It was stupid from the start."
The warrior lowered his head - because Yue Ai was very close to Joshua at this time, and with Joshua's height, he had to lower his head to look directly into the other person's eyes. He said solemnly: "As long as it is the person who makes the choice. 'Rather than a purely logical machine, then whether you choose to love or not to love is just the result of the hormones secreted by the brain when making a choice."
"Students who are good at painting choose to love literature because of a moment of anger, or are surrounded by friends and parents, and the son of a mage who is good at archery has to become an alchemist because of family reasons. If these students do not find what they really love and are good at, Things, because of a momentary enthusiasm, choose to 'love' those things that you are not good at or don't like, then can this kind of love be considered freedom?"
Joshua loves fighting and is good at fighting. He knows what he wants. This is the answer he came up with after experiencing the battlefield and facing countless challenges.
But what about everyone else? Do they really know what they are good at and what they love? Are the beliefs in their hearts really not just impulse
"People need medicine for regret, and the order specified by Your Majesty can only lead to darkness."
The soldier raised his head and looked around the streets. Ordinary people in Moldavia were maintaining a "gathering" posture to watch the excitement. Joshua looked at these ordinary people and whispered: "You are just avoiding them."
"Let human beings avoid conflicts and use the divine power and authority given by Your Majesty to escape from the struggle with self and desire."
"Because God has given the ability to choose to love or not to love, human beings do not have to fight with their own instincts or think about their own path. Instead, they can take refuge in the name of God and enjoy what is called 'freedom', but in fact it is just 'freedom'." Escape' happiness."
The God of Love, who took on the form of an elf, was watching Joshua at this moment.
His eyes were burning. Regarding the warrior's accusation, Yue Ai paused for a moment, and then replied in a natural tone: "But no matter what, this is the path chosen by life, isn't it? It doesn't mean that you have to do whatever you are good at. What? It is human freedom to choose a path that they are not good at and that they are not clear about. The power I give them is just to allow them to make a more determined choice."
"And, no matter what, there will no longer be any crime and darkness in this world, because all people, even those with natural antisocial personalities, will choose a path that treats everyone equally. Doesn't this solve the problem of civilization once and for all? All internal friction?”
In response, Joshua shook his head and replied in a cold tone: "Since when can freedom be granted by others, and 'choosing' good and evil requires the power of gods to do it?"
"With the progress of social systems, the popularization of civilized culture, and the improvement of moral standards, sooner or later these things will be able to be accomplished without any external force and with the development of civilization itself. Just like human beings, people should indeed control their own Desire, against one's own instinct, against all the unfreedoms that exist in this world, but."
At this place, Joshua emphasized his tone. He took a step forward, greatly closing the distance between him and Yue Ai. He bent down, faced the God of Love, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, that should be Human beings can do all this by themselves. From a child who drifts with the tide and knows nothing, he gradually grows into a strong man who can go against the long river of destiny and find his own destiny."
"And this process is a life called growth, life, and fighting!"
At the beginning, Joshua was almost convinced by the God of Love and Death, because the concept he told, the explanation of the belief that 'love is order', and the pure warrior who loves fighting, really resonated.
Only love can make you firm, and only love can make you unhappy. If you don't really love, how can you devote 100% of your energy to work and fight
But the future world that the God of Love later told made Joshua frown.
Because that kind of logic is not the logic of intelligent life at all.
It was at this moment that Joshua discovered that this was actually a battle.
A battle that does not require the use of fists or feet, or the use of energy, but requires the exposition of one's own views and one's own ideas, called the 'Battle of the Great Roads'.
The seven gods who protect the Mycroft civilization each maintain their own order. The god of power and justice has found his successor, Emperor Israel. Two powerful beings are shaping the entire northern world. The world of 'order by might'.
The God of Love and Decline found himself, and he hoped that he could join him and build a world called the 'Order of Love' together.
There is no doubt that the other gods, who seemed to be watching the reincarnation and had not taken any action until now, must also be looking for their companions at this moment, preparing to build their own order. They do not influence the world and do not promote faith, because this is meaningless. Fanatic believers are the people farthest from God, because if you do not carefully think about God’s teachings, understand the order and logic behind it, and recognize it as an independent individual If God is correct, then they will never be able to become God's power. At most, they can only help a little on the side.
Gods do not need faith. What they long for is the 'order' that determines the direction of civilization, the destiny of the race, and the future of the world!
so.
Now, this is a battle.
Then you have to defeat the enemy you don’t recognize.
"Your Majesty Yue'ai, the love and freedom you talk about are nothing but a cold society that gives up the possibility of life and transforms itself into an efficient machine."
The soldier said bluntly that he was not afraid of offending a god at all, and clearly described his concept: "The kind of human beings you are talking about, and robots, artificial puppets, and artificial intelligence that have set work goals and development plans What's the difference?"
"Human beings, as independent intelligent beings, should not be at the mercy of fate or instinct. Everyone should make choices on the forks in life based on their own wishes and beliefs - without fighting against their own instincts or trying. To understand and analyze one's own desires, not to fight against the world, but to just set a goal and start running like a machine, how can this be said to have been lived?"
"It's just a machine."
Irresponsible choices are the origin of evil. Only those who truly understand what they want to do and what kind of existence they want to be in the future can make truly free choices.
"Your order is extreme, wrong, and even more dangerous than the future expected by Israel and the God of Power. As you said, 'love' is not such a superficial thing that ordinary people can choose to go." Loving something is like the choice a teenager makes when his hormones are excessively secreted during adolescence. This kind of love is undoubtedly unreasonable. Only those who have experienced this period and have a job can Only those who support themselves, think about the future, and can be responsible for their own decisions can make choices that can be said to be free.”
After saying such a long string of words, Joshua couldn't help but sigh, then subconsciously moved his arms and clenched his fists.
Letting him think about this is really more tiring than beating up the Great Khan.
But facing a god, he can't deal with it so casually. This kind of irresponsible behavior is not his character, because if he doesn't seriously refute, there is no doubt that Yue Ai will really put his order into order. Let's be realistic - if a god carried out such an extreme social experiment all over the world, the harm might be greater than the invasion of evil gods. If the scale was larger, it would not be impossible for civilization to self-destruct.
But because of this, Joshua couldn't help but be more confused.
What is the origin of the Seven Gods
Is it a defense mechanism left by the sages to protect the Mycroft civilization? He himself wanted to go to the center of the multiverse to explore the rotation of chaos and order and the truth behind the evil gods, so he left the Seven Gods as nannies.
But in that case, why do the Seven Gods, as nannies, have their own beliefs
They are not the survivors of the old gods of the Glorious Era. No matter what kind of ancient books, there is no trace of the existing seven gods, but they are not the achievements of mortals who ascended to the gods in the Starfall Era. When the ancestors met them, they were already gods.
Joshua already knows the nature of the evil gods as enemies, but he still doesn’t know the nature of the Seven Gods as allies. I have to say, this is really a black joke.
In front of the warrior, Yue Ai was not angry because of Joshua's words.
Even though he was bluntly denied by the other party, or even called 'unreasonable', he showed no sign of being angry.
In fact, He even laughed.
"You really look like him..."
The God of Love and Death stared at Joshua's face, and whispered in a confused voice: "Back then, he also denied my idea like this, asking me to change a topic and complete this graduation assignment again... Even the reason for the denial was Likewise, people can only have the right to make choices after struggling with their own instincts and desires."
"It's just that why should I revise it in such a hurry? It would be better if it takes longer... Unfortunately, the war broke out, and it is meaningless no matter how much I revise the topic. Anyway, no one will review it anymore."
"Wait, what did you say?"
Hearing this, not only Joshua, but also Eagle, who was sitting aside and helplessly watching the two arguing, immediately stood up. Both of them stared at the 'God of Love and Decline' in front of them, frowning. Frowning: "'He'? There are still topics, graduation homework?"
What on earth is this god talking about? !
But it was obvious that Yue Ai did not answer the two people's doubtful thoughts. The God of Love and Decline just raised his head and looked at the sky that was stained violet by his divine power. He murmured in a soft and incomparable voice: "He loves He loves the world and loves everyone, and just because I love him, I also love the world."
"Radcliffe, I am very satisfied with your answer. You are right, my order is unreasonable and just a joke."
Yue'ai's voice returned to normal. He lowered his head and said calmly: "I know that you are looking for the way to the 'bottom of the abyss', and I happen to know the answer to this question."
"No, wait, Your Majesty Yue'ai, who is the 'him' you just mentioned?!"
At this time, Joshua's attention was not focused on the 'bottom of the abyss' - although he had no clue about the answer to this question yet, he would probably have clues when he asked other gods. The God of Loveliness and Decline revealed The message can reveal a part of the other party's true identity: "Listen to your words, you are actually his student? Taking a civilized future as the subject..."
"This question is not important. Even if you know the answer, it will not be of any benefit."
Yue Ai interrupted Joshua's words, and his tone was calm: "Because we are no longer who we were before. Compared with this meaningless question, the information about the 'bottom of the abyss' is of great significance to the entire Mycroft civilization. Words are more important.”
The soldier exhaled and suppressed his desire to ask questions. Eagle beside him also took a deep breath and calmed down. The two looked at each other and could see that the other party was already aware of the current situation.
Today's Yue Ai obviously can't answer this question in half a sentence. In this case, instead of getting entangled, it is better to get the answer to the bottom of the abyss as soon as possible. As for the speculation about the relationship between the seven gods and the sages, there is plenty of time to study it.
But what the God of Love and Decline said next was once again like a shocking thunder, severely shaking the spirits and hearts of Joshua and Eagle.
"The lowest level of the abyss, in the past glorious era, was called the 'Nirvana of the Abyss'. The steel fragments of all the destroyed worlds in the entire abyss gathered there, waiting for the flames to be rekindled and the world to be reborn. That day. Its coordinates have long been changed because of the 'Final Battle'. Now, it is located at the core of the Black Domain of the Abyss No. 949, the place where the Evil God of Fertility and the Sage battled, and also their cemetery. Right there.”
Yue Ai turned around, and the field of divine power that solidified the Moldavia Territory began to collapse. Time began to flow again. People's voices began to become noisy from far to near. He did not care at all about the doubts expressed by Joshua and Eagle at the same time. Inquiring, the incarnation of the god began to fade, dissipating like a shadow.
"I know your doubts and shock. To this, I can only say that as far as I am concerned, he has been dead for a long time. The person who came back from the bottom of the abyss and was resurrected may be the 'sage' you call him, but But it’s not him at all.”
Before disappearing, the beautiful elf lady, the God of Love and Decline, softly spoke the last few words: "So, for me, the bottom of the abyss is the cemetery where he died together with the Evil God of Abundance."
"As for you, Joshua Van Radcliffe. We also look forward to the order you look forward to."
The shadow was so thin that it was impossible to detect, and Yue Ai looked back slightly at this moment, leaving behind a complicated but expectant look.
"So, if you may, Radcliffe."
"Please show us that future."
Sages are indeed not backgrounds ()
However, this is just the words of Yue Ai's family.
Yesterday’s third update, there will be another update later today.
