Chapter 814 Suffering
There has never been a precedent in the world for a superior to accept human nature, at least not since the era of the rise of the old gods.
Human nature is regarded as a fallen thing, and it is a deadly poison to all superior beings, including gods.
The superior ones have always only received the power of faith from believers, which is their immortal reliance and the source of energy to maintain their godhead. The humanity sent along with faith will be dispelled.
All beings enshrined in temples and churches never listen to believers. Those miseries, pains and hopes are all left to the clergy to deal with, or in other words, to fool.
Therefore, believers' requests for help, confession, or confession from the gods often end up in the ears or dreams of an awakened psychic visioner nearby.
This is the first stage of the visionary—the origin of nightmares.
…
It seems that both humans and gods have forgotten the consequences of the superiors accepting human things. They only know that it is one of the reasons for the decline of the gods before the old gods.
…
Imnar made a terrible mistake.
But he doesn’t know it yet.
In its view, it successfully found the divine body Aegon and kept her alive. This was an explanation to Milo, and the fearful curse crisis was temporarily lifted.
Three months is enough time for a lot to happen.
The collapse of the reincarnation system of Wolvados, the Nirvana emerged from Muta, the appearance of the City of Haze, and the shattering of the Sad Godhead, all were intercepted on the other side of the South Wind Sea, and the west knew nothing about it. .
As for Imnar, it does not intend to sit back and wait for the three-month time limit to expire, waiting for Milo to find his conscience and take the initiative to lift the curse on it.
So how to break the curse of fear?
If nothing else, the only solution cannot escape the purest and most powerful force in the world, faith.
…
So, Imnar decided to ruthlessly harvest the herds of faith under the jurisdiction of Gouzhi Temple. Anyway, he is now the old priestess who serves Gouzhi. It can do this legitimately.
In fact, the Priestess helped Aegon when he accepted the trial of faith, making her the first child of the god's body qualified to welcome the god's will.
Therefore, the Priestess, also known as Imnar, has received extremely high recognition and authority in the Gouzhi Temple. Those old people who truly worshiped the God of Gouzhi respected it extremely. .
…
Some strange changes are quietly happening deep in Imnar's soul, but it is still unaware of it.
The part of the chaotic human nature that is fused with it will only cause pain in the soul for a period of time, and then it seems to be cured.
So Imnar went to one of the many herds of the Gouzhi Temple in the west, called "Keim".
This is a forgotten country, because it is located on the deep south coast of the Western Continent. It is separated from the fertile land where the six kingdoms, Ursa, etc. are located by a gravel desert that buries death.
To the south of Keim is the dangerous Nanfeng Sea, and to the north is the vast desert. Resources here are scarce, not that the land is so barren. Usually countries near the sea will not starve to death. The real Scarce resources are the hidden things that psychics and even superiors care about, such as temple stones or some older products.
There is no such thing in Kem, so people born here are destined to live the most mediocre life.
Not long ago, something terrible happened on the silent South Wind Sea.
The seawater overflowed the land, broke through the embankments and city walls, and dealt a devastating blow to the Kingdom of Keim.
The Caim people thought they had offended the gods.
They prayed to Gouzhi and his disciples for salvation.
However, dozens of days have passed, and the sea water has receded, taking away all the rotten flesh and all the food of the deceased, leaving behind a soaked empty city, but the God of Hooks has never appeared.
…
…
Imnar didn’t know why he chose this place.
It is really not known.
Perhaps it was the Caim people who gave Gouzhi their most loyal faith when the disaster came.
When it came to Cam, it happened to hit a small boat rocking on the waves.
Imnar stopped and watched for a long time.
The Keim people on the boat are three brothers. The eldest among them is only thirteen or fourteen years old, and they are all just children.
The three brothers lost their parents and their youngest sister in the horrific tsunami not long ago. The ruthless seawater swept away their bodies.
In Gouzhi’s teachings, everything possessed by believers, including their bodies and souls, is given by gods. In a life long or short, all joys, sorrows and joys are tests by gods themselves. And when they usher in the end of their gods, they must return everything they have left to the benevolent Gouzhi. Even their decayed flesh can still receive the gentle embrace of Gouzhi after returning it, and gain true rest.
So the fact that the body was swept away by the sea was ominous to the Keim people, and it was a sentence against the gods.
Whether out of nostalgia for their loved ones or guilt toward the gods, the three brothers dragged their fragile boat out onto the South Wind Sea, hoping to recover the bodies of their parents and sister.
And now, they are in trouble.
Because the wind and waves on the south wind sea don't care at all about the grief of losing a loved one or the panic of betraying the gods, nor can they care about the three young and living lives on the ship that is about to be overturned.
…
In the wind and waves, the boys prayed to Gouzhi.
But this time they really got a response from the gods. The priest came from the sea and helped them stabilize the boat.
…
While the three frightened boys were stunned, the storm on the sea had subsided, replaced by a warm and soft stream of light…
From then on , stories of gods walking on water spread among the ruins of Kym.
…
…
And then.
Imnar came to the temple dedicated to Gou Zhi in Kaim.
After the disaster, the Kaimu people faced a dilemma more terrifying than the sea water - famine.
That tsunami seemed to have some kind of terrible magic power. The sea areas that the Kaimu people could reach with their sailing abilities were turned into a dead sea. The sea food resources that should have been inexhaustible disappeared overnight.
Even so, the people in the settlement where the temple is located still enshrined the five loaves and two fish they had left under the sculpture of the hook.
You know, at this moment, children are starving to death outside the gate of the temple...
…
Imnar paused for a long time under the sculpture of the hooked finger.
No one knew what it was thinking, and no one dared to step forward to disturb it.
It is from the old days when even the gods dared to deceive them. It is the descendant of the alien gods and the deceiver of the ages. It can do whatever it wants without any reason or scruples...
This is what Imnar said to himself in his heart.
…
Imnar took away the five loaves and two fish given by the people as a stipend.
There were more than five thousand surviving Keim people gathered in a nearby settlement, and Imnar distributed the loaves and fish to everyone.
This thing is worthless in Gouzhi's eyes, but in Kaim, it can save many people, and in Imnar's hands, it can save the entire country.
This is the first time Imnar has not "replaced" the imitated ontology when using fractal rules.
Five loaves and two fish became five thousand loaves and two thousand fish, or even more.
…
On this day, Keim welcomed its god and salvation.
At first they made Imnar a priest and a disciple of God, and in the end they recognized him directly as God.
God helped them restore the lost farmland, cured the patients' illnesses, taught them to find fish in the ocean that had fallen into silence due to the activities of the Mu continent, and helped them rebuild a stronger city wall.
…
Why did He do these things?
Imnar himself couldn't tell clearly.
He only knew that during the sermon, he no longer feared the curse. He obtained the power of faith that was purer and more powerful than Hook Finger, but what really calmed his heart was not the power, but the elusive and invisible human nature known as poison.
Imnar never got rid of fear, but correspondingly, he also gained courage. In addition, there are many, many things that He has never faced up to or come into contact with, perhaps sadness or joy. For the creatures at the bottom, this is the melody that fills their lives, but for the superior ones, it is For Munnar, this is a book more profound than ancient classics.
He is learning, learning slowly.
Even after doing so many things, He still has not understood one thing, that is, what even a mortal Princess Rose knows, human nature is actually the love given by believers.
…
……
Three months passed very quickly.
Imnar even forgot about the curse.
Finally, driven by fear, He hummed the melody to summon Pagon.
…
Pagon’s will descends.
The old god who once defeated and banished Engel Korath came to the Kingdom of Kem.
But He did not banish Imnar to the abyss as ruthlessly as he did when he first saw him.
Pagon stayed in Keim for a while and finally left quietly.
When Imnar asked him why he did not choose to take action, Pagon's answer was:
"The heaviest punishment I can give you is exile, but compared to you The suffering he is about to face is not worth mentioning.”
“Don’t you realize that the godhead is leaving you?”
“Imnar”
