Chapter 2 Waste Goddess and Summoner(2/2)
"???" Janna made a question mark in her heart.
And Li Wei is still saying his strange words that make people understand but not understand:
"Miss Janna, your story is too simple."
"Nature worship, fire worship, moon worship, and wind worship are things that existed in the Neolithic Age. In the final analysis, they are just the primitive worship of natural elements by ancient humans."
"Now that Piltover and Zaun have reached the industrial revolution and even cyberpunk, they can even build robots, and they can do math and physics better than me -"
"If you ask them to pray to the wind again, they will be able to give you a "Fluid Mechanics Calculation Method for Wind Action" on the spot."
"Even if there is indeed a god in this world, to these Twin Cities people who are accustomed to using science to understand the world, god is just a 'powerful magical creature'."
"Tell me, can your story still fool people?"
Janna had nothing to say.
After being taught such a disrespectful lesson by Li Wei, she realized that...as a goddess, she really didn't seem to know how to be a god like Li Wei.
"So, what are you going to do?"
"Simple, since the doctrine is completely outdated, then we must overturn it and compile a theory of faith that is more suitable for the times."
"You?!" Janna couldn't help but want to scold Levi for blasphemy.
Belief theory, can this be made up casually?
Doesn't that mean she, the goddess, is cooperating in lying?
However, being angry, Janna quickly understood Levi's actions: "I see..."
"You are so serious about asking me about the history of Piltover and Zaun because you want to grasp the historical background here so that you can make up your story?"
"You can think so."
"Then what kind of story are you going to tell me?" Janna was worried that Levi would tamper with her teachings and turn her into an evil god like the Maw of Despicableness.
Faced with her question, Levi just murmured:
“What kind of story do you want to tell?”
"This is indeed a problem..."
Zaun and Piltover have entered the era of industrial revolution, and even have a flavor of 2077.
Based on what Livy saw and heard, there are roughly two types of beliefs that have strong vitality in this era.
The first is, of course, to continue deepening on the path of metaphysics.
Abandon the primitive nature worship, describe hell to believers, promise heaven, depict reincarnation, and promise the afterlife.
In short, we should give the suffering people a glimmer of hope. Even if this hope is after death or in the next life.
As for the second one...
"Janna." Levi did not answer directly, but asked meaningfully: "Suppose a person is sick, very sick. And I have two medicines in my hand:"
"One is an anesthetic that allows people to die painlessly."
"One is a strong medicine that can cure the disease, but the treatment process will be very painful, even more painful than the disease. Many people will die from the pain before the disease is cured."
"Jana, which medicine do you think is better?"
"I choose the second option." Janna said without hesitation: "If it can't save people, what's the use of medicine?"
"Well said, Janna."
Levi had actually already made his decision.
If it was before traveling, he might choose the first way. Because if the first way is passed, it can bring him endless wealth and endless enjoyment.
But after time traveling, he inherited all the memories of this body.
He experienced firsthand what the life of the Zuan people was like.
The young man who died suddenly on this narrow bed...what he wanted must not have been anesthesia.
"I would also choose the second option."
Li Wei picked up paper and pen and wrote a line of speech in front of his newly compiled "story":
