177 Faith and Faith
What is a god?
As a modern person, Lan Li originally believed that the so-called gods might be some powerful beings with many abilities that transcend ordinary cognition.
They may exist by relying on mortal beliefs, spread their will in the secular world as they wish, or they may be independent and powerful individuals living in a world that is invisible to ordinary people.
He now believes that half of his cognition is correct, that is, gods survive by relying on faith, or there are indeed gods in this world who live by relying on faith.
But this kind of god is not that tall.
If you carefully consider the birth of the gods, the process will inevitably be very complicated, but in general, Lan Li believes that it is very clear - if you believe, you have it, and if you don’t believe, you don’t. Under the long-term worship, the so-called gods are born by gathering many human wills.
The other gods, Lan Li, didn't understand, but at this time, he knew clearly what this thing was on his wrist, or the Iron Islands.
It is the God of Desolation, but it is also Naga, a primitive totem belief.
That's right, Hailong Naga, the legendary first sea dragon in the world, is the most powerful creature born in the sea. It feeds on sea monsters and sea beasts and can swallow the entire island when it is angry.
In the story of the Iron Islands, Naga appeared as a villain. The first king of the archipelago, the Gray Sea King, slaughtered it on Old Wake Island with his own hands, and made it with its ribs into beams and pillars, its mouth into a throne, and its teeth into a towering pale crown.
Finally, Grey Sea King used Naga's fire to warm his newly built new hall, and ruled the archipelago here for thousands of years, and finally walked into the sea.
This story is talked about by countless iron species, and is also considered nonsense by many bachelors, but in fact it is not a story, but a real thing.
It is impossible to determine which year and month of Lan Li existed, but when communicating at the top of the hill, he "saw" the general process of the terrifying Hailong Naga from being worshipped to being killed later.
Human beings fear it, so they kneel down and worship it, and worship it more often, and the so-called God of Desolation was born.
Unfortunately, no one of the Iron Seeds understands that they have inherited the faith of the God of God for thousands of years. In fact, they have long been a "deteriorated" and godless pseudo-god school. In other words, the God of God they are talking about day and night has long been killed by their first king. The God of God of God gathers the divinity brewed by many human beliefs, or the Naga fire in the story has also been extinguished.
So both the body and the spirit, the God of God no longer exists.
But this kind of non-existence is actually not complete, because before this faith is abandoned by mankind, God will not completely disappear.
But this kind of non-disappearance is actually no different from the true disappearance. Losing life and losing spirituality, and He has become a thoughtless existence formed by the convergence of many faiths and wills.
What can this existence do?
The facts of the Iron Islands for thousands of years have proved that He can do nothing because He has become a stagnant mass.
It was not until the appearance of Lanli that the stagnant water showed a little ripples.
Lan Li didn't understand why this ball of stagnant water reacted to him. He guessed that it might be because of the chaotic mark on his left wrist, or that his psychic heart characteristics were sensed by this ball of stagnant water, so he received feedback, and then he took him to experience a hazy "memory flashback".
At the same time, he could not understand why this God of Drowning was "resurrected" on his wrist.
Yes, resurrection.
It is not a true resurrection, but at this moment, a ray of Naga fire, or a ray of divine nature of the god, can be burned out with a slight touch.
What can it do?
Lan Li couldn't be sure. At least, he didn't think that this thing would continue to breed ancient Taoist seeds like the axe mark, because after a few days of observation, he found that this thing was slowly growing, rather than splitting out new flames.
At the same time, he could also "dig out" this wisp of fire like a seed of ancient Taoism, but after digging it out, he could still put it back.
So Lanli guessed that he seemed... maybe... might use this thing to create a god?
What's the use of this?
Or, what's the use after creating a god?
He was not sure. During his communication with Naga, he had seen many terrifying scenes that made the sea water roar, but he was not sure whether it was the ability of the sea dragon itself or the power of the gods.
Because of just such a wisp of fire, Lan Li didn't dare to try it casually. At the same time, he was not ready to use this thing on himself, or he had tried it, but the fire could not be integrated into his body at all.
Maybe this thing is picky?
Everything is unknown. Lan Li only knows that with the birth of this ray of fire, his racial level was "in turn" upgraded to one level. There is not much information on the explanation of the characteristics of Naga's fire, but referring to the legend of the story, it is very likely that he could live for hundreds or thousands of years because of this...
Not to mention the improvement of the racial level, it suddenly changed from a mortal with limited lifespan to an obviously inhuman being. This kind of good thing cannot be maintained in normalcy if anyone in the world is a desire for immortality. Human beings' desire for immortality comes from the desire deep in life, and even many wise monarchs cannot avoid it.
Now that he has "easy" to get it, it is obviously a great thing.
However, Lan Li is still a little kid now and can't feel the existence of aging. He doesn't feel anything too surprised about this. Or at present, he pays more attention to the troubles that follow after the fire is ignited...
Thinking about this, the boy sitting at the head of the bed frowned.
The birth of a god, or the revival of a god, is obviously impossible to be just the appearance of the light, and at the same time, this brand new fire is obviously a great treasure.
It would be fine if no one knew all this, but the movement that day was so loud that hundreds of pairs of eyes saw the vast scene like a god coming to the world. If all this was spread...
Although Westeros is a medieval world that looks normal, who knows what is hidden in this world?
Is it possible that the only one who "knows the knowledge" is himself?
"You can't wait as planned, so as not to be found by some monsters."
He thought to himself.
Leaving Old Wake Island or the Iron Islands is not very difficult for Renley at present, because many Yanren have begun to obey him unconditionally, but if you communicate with Yanren directly...
Lan Li hesitated about this, but his mentality basically disappeared that afternoon.
Because of the arrival of a visitor, a better opportunity was delivered to the door-
