Chapter 722: The Secret of the Crazy Pope(1/3)
Just like when I came here from the classroom before, the teacher walked in front and Karen followed beside me. The teacher was talking and Karen listened quietly most of the time.
When the lecture reaches a certain point, the teacher will deliberately set the stage, stop, and wait for Karen's pick-up or answer.
Karen's short answers always hit the most itchy spot in the teacher's heart, causing him to take deep breaths quickly and uncontrollably, and his body began to sway slightly.
It can be seen that the teacher is really comfortable.
History is boring and rigid in the eyes of many people, but in fact, it is alive. When looking back at history, people always like to compare it to the "long river of history." So what many historians do is on this river.
When fishing in the river, you not only need to know when the fish swam here, but you also have to carefully examine and record the scales, gills, tail, and even every scale of the fish. You also need to figure out where it swam from.
Where are you going to swim when you come here?
The difference between theologians in the church and historians in reality is that their perspective can be longer-term, because there is a huge gap in the "civilization years" that everyone focuses on.
This teacher is really capable. Although it was just a simple lesson and he did not prepare lessons in advance, through his narration, the reasons and manifestations of the differences between the God of Order and the God of Light were restored in great detail.
and presentation.
Many of the historical materials cited are ancient versions of mythological narratives of major religious sects, and many of them were obtained by searching ancient books of the Annihilation Cult. He even participated in the excavation of many ruins in the first half of his life, and he had countless "
smuggled goods".
While chatting, the two of them returned to the classroom. Everyone was still sleeping soundly. The teacher asked Karen to sit in front of the podium, and the two of them continued to talk face to face.
"Actually, to study the differences carefully, consensus is often indispensable, and this consensus is divided into several stages. Although God has always been praised by us as an omniscient and omnipotent existence, I do not deny this view, but at least in the early days, God was also
Have their own thinking and cognitive process.
The earliest stage: [Light awakens order].
Well, this record is no longer in the recent editions of "Symmetra". It exists in the old editions, and it is clearly recorded in the mythological narratives of all the major religions.
I don’t want to simply think of the awakening here as something similar to the way I teach “awakening.” It is not the God of Light who allows our God of Order to awaken.
I would rather understand that it was the God of Light’s ideas and ideas that gained my Lord’s approval and enlightened my Lord’s thinking process.
The beginning of the civilized era was when the Eternal God led the gods to raise the torch on Mount Allah. It was the Eternal God who ended the dark history of the era. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain the destruction of previous civilization records. However, the loss of the Eternal God led to
He is unable to continue to lead his camp to the next step of development after ending darkness and starting civilization, and is no longer able to shoulder his subsequent historical mission.
Of course, it is also possible that the God of Eternity knew that he could not do it, so he pursued the taboo of time.
In short, the bearer of the next stage of historical mission is the God of Light. He broke the era of gods enslaving people and created a hierarchical system in which gods and humans coexist. The way to achieve the goal is the war between gods.
Do you know what is the factor that has the greatest impact on the destiny and status of mankind in the war between gods?"
Karen replied: "Broad involvement of the church."
"Crack!"
The teacher clapped his palms, and the goat's beard seemed to be curled up.
"Yes, the war of gods, the war of gods, sounds like a war between gods, but the battlefield is not just about gods. That period was the golden age of the rise and development of major churches. Human beings were followers of gods.
, God's subordinates, God's supporters, extensively participated in the gods' wars.
Old gods continue to fall, and new gods continue to be born. Where do new gods come from?
Therefore, I have never fully agreed with the argument that the camp led by the God of Light established the new relationship between man, God and the world, because the participation of the church's power was a key factor in the light camp's final victory in this war.
.
This change in human status is not complete.
It all depends on the charity from God above, but it is something that the church representatives, while wearing the cloak of God, fought for on their own.
Only when the superior needs your power, will he loosen your status; similarly, when your power can influence the fundamental interests of the superior, you will naturally gain an improvement in status.
In short, the God of Light has led this change either actively or passively. In other words, the God of Light has completed his historical mission here.
But history will continue to develop. Perhaps it has stagnated in many previous eras, but from eternity to light, the wheel of history has been pushed forward.
The God of Light can no longer undertake this mission of continuous change, so history has chosen a new executor, our Lord.
It was at that time that our lord and the God of Light began to have constant disagreements. When the other gods divided up the fruits of victory, delineated the territory and built wonders after the victory in the divine battle, our lord clearly raised objections many times.
But the God of Light is the representative of the camp, and what he carries is the collective interests of his camp. Back then, our Lord belonged to a special minority in that camp.
Our Lord finally chose to leave the light camp, and gathered around our Lord a small number of gods, but at least they had the same beliefs. The most famous ones were the seven founding gods of the Crypt Cult.
However, during this period, for a long period of time, the conflict between our Lord and the Light camp did not break out sharply. Many historians believe that this is because the God of Light is still there. You must know that the Light camp can win the war of gods.
Part of the reason is because of the eternal loss, so they take it for granted that it is the disappearance of the light that allows our Lord to see the opportunity.
I don't agree with this view. I think it was the existence of the God of Light that ensured the lower limit of the gods during that period. After the God of Light disappeared, the gods who lost their lower limit began to gradually transition to the old gods they had defeated back then.
Therefore, in my opinion, my lord’s crazy slaughter of the gods at the end of the last era and my lord’s dominance were not a betrayal of the God of Light, but..."
The teacher stopped.
Karen then said: "Inherit and deepen the reform."
"Hiss...hoo..."
The teacher started to act like an old smoker who had been without food for a long time and took a long puff of cigarette.
Karen said: "Teacher, you have actually given me the answer."
"Well, as a teacher, it is a pleasure to get students' answers after laying the groundwork."
"I see."
"In fact, from eternity, to light, to our Lord, they spent two eras, the roles they assumed, and the historical missions they assumed, all for one thing, that is, to let this world... gradually return normal civilization.
Do you know what the historical mission I am referring to here is? Wait a minute, I need to reorganize the wording so that you can answer it better, it should be..."
"Are you asking me about my perspective? The historical perspective?"
"Yes, that's what I mean. You complemented the question very well."
"It's human."
"Yes, we are human beings, so I never think that my opinions are objective and fair. I can even put a label on my forehead called: absolute bias.
Because my theories and research foundations are all emanated from a human perspective, because... I belong to this group, what do you think?"
"This is right. We should stand from the standpoint of the vast majority of mankind, and our thinking should be based on their most fundamental interests."
The teacher blinked and seemed to be inspired.
"I know that there is darkness, injustice, oppression, and exploitation in human society, but since I gradually saw the behavior of other religious cults, and after I went to the Crypt Cult to experience it in person... I understand deeply what my teaching is protecting.”
"Yes, that's right. As a believer in Order, it is a blessing to be responsible for the research on the history of God in Order University, because our religion, our God, and our stance are actually the same.
Of course, many
People don’t think so, and neither do the theologians in outside religions think so, because many of them no longer regard themselves as human beings.”
"They are separated from humanity."
"Yes." The teacher stretched greatly, "But this period of historical data is not easy to talk about now. You know, because in this era, our religion has experienced a long-term confrontation with the Guangming Cult, and our religion has won. It has only been a thousand years, but believers in the light are still defined as the remnants of the light."
"Yes, but this is a practical necessity."
"Haha, I have never regretted the disappearance of the God of Light, nor have I mourned the demise of the Light Religion. Although light has awakened order, but..."
Karen said: "The dead light is the best light."
"Hey, that's what it tastes like. It's also because the light is dead that we can sit here and talk about the historical role of the God of Light and the Church of Light, and we can reflect on it with a sad atmosphere. Otherwise, the topic of our chat It should be the same as it was a thousand years ago, racking your brains to figure out how to kill it."
The teacher looked at the time and saw that get out of class was about to end.
"Time flies so fast."
"Listening to your class, I really don't feel that time has passed."
The teacher glanced down with a kind look, as if he was pleased that the future flowers of the religion would be nourished by more adequate sleep.
"By the way, you said that you have been in contact with many other churches and have also been to the Crypt Cult. Classmate, your family is in good condition, haha."
"It's a tolerance."
"Business service?" The teacher was slightly surprised, "You have a position now?"
"Yes, there is."
"It seems that you are valued by your family. You will have a good future. I believe that people who like history can easily see the essence of things more clearly. No matter which system you are in, you can do well as long as you Don’t come to the history department.”
Karen took out the class schedule from his pocket. He needed the teacher to sign here to prove that he had attended class.
Seeing this, the teacher was a little surprised: "Hey, you are a part-time student? It seems that your leader attaches great importance to your training."
After taking the form and preparing to sign it, the teacher glanced at it and his eyes widened immediately: "Oh, it turns out that the leader who values you is yourself."
After the teacher signed the form, he did not rush to return the form to Karen, but said with a smile: "You are Karen, no wonder you look familiar to me. I have seen you in the newspaper for a while, including now.
Also, I often see some female students on campus holding your photo as a letter. I suggest you wear a hat or mask when walking on campus. Female students are becoming more and more open-minded nowadays, and so are male students.
"
"Thank you for your reminder, teacher. I am very happy to attend your class and listen to your teachings."
"My name is Sidrod."
