The soul movers watched silently as the strange flame twisted on the ground, gradually blooming into a ghostly picture.

As the flames were extinguished, a black shape remained on the ground, and their throats, which were almost suffocated, could exhale their first breath.

"What does it mean?"

Lin Yilu asked his sister in a low voice, "Didn't the Rat Clan know long ago that their creator is dead?"

"It's different."

Lin Yiyan said solemnly, "Among the big lies fabricated by the national teacher, although the human beings who are the creators have all fallen in a 'battle of the gods', there is still a glimmer of hope left as long as the Rat Clan can complete all of them." God's mission, the gods will be resurrected, and they will be summoned to the eternally gorgeous and endlessly rich paradise under the blue sky and white clouds.

"This kind of saying that the gods are dead, or temporarily dormant for various reasons, and will be resurrected, exists in many belief systems, and it will not weaken the power of belief, but will strengthen the piety of believers.

"However, the yelling of the wise man of the rat race just now obviously did not mean this, but that they had already seen through the lie. The so-called gods, true gods, gods, creators, creators, whatever you call them, do not exist .

"Once existed, then died, and will be resurrected, that's a concept.

"Never existed, it was a goddamn hoax from start to finish, which is yet another concept.

"Judging from the performance of the Rat Race in this stronghold, now, all the Rat Race in the Longtooth Kingdom probably know the truth. This kind of belief collapse and the impact of being betrayed by the creator is certainly something that many Rat Race cannot bear. "

"Just the collapse of faith can make intelligent life lose the courage to live?" Lin Yilu sighed, it was really hard to understand the behavior of the Rat Clan.

"Don't use the thinking mode of modern humans to measure a Rat Race who is still in the primitive ignorance stage."

Director Mu said slowly, "In fact, modern humans have experienced repeated industrial revolutions, religious reforms, and renaissances before gradually abandoning ignorant and backward belief systems and establishing a scientific worldview that seeks truth from facts. A hundred years ago, religious belief was also one of the important meanings for two-thirds of human beings on the earth to survive, or even the only meaning.

"At that time, human beings would send scholars who preached the 'heliocentric theory' to the stake, and they would kill rivers of blood because of the different names of the true gods. Just think about it, if at that time, there was a kind that was above the times and could not The irrefutable force tells them that the true God they believe in and fight for all their lives does not exist at all. What will become of them?

"The order collapsed, the society was chaotic, and he committed suicide by caesarean section... The human beings at that time were probably not much better than the Rat Race at this moment, right?"

"That's the reason."

Chu Ge added, "Human civilization is a primitive civilization from many perspectives. We have learned the mysteries of drilling wood to make fire, grinding stone tools, making bows and arrows, cutting wheels, and building cities by ourselves, and relying on our own With hands, feet and hard sweat, slash-and-burn cultivation, difficult roads, digging canals, building the Great Wall and pyramids, we have everything we have today bit by bit.

"So, we can easily figure out the truth of 'the gods don't exist, everything depends on ourselves'.

"But the rat civilization,

But it is a secondary civilization. In the process of their birth and evolution, they are extremely dependent on the materials left over from the wreckage of human cities, and the traces of humans scattered in the surrounding environment tell them all the time that a civilization far more advanced and A powerful species that once existed.

"It is a matter of course to regard this extremely powerful and intelligent advanced life form as a 'true god'.

"In addition, the Rats live in a dark, deep, dangerous underground world, facing the threat of death every second, and facing the extremely suffocating life, they need to paralyze their nerves with faith.

"Therefore, the word 'faith' accounts for a much higher proportion in the social activities of the Rat Clan than in human civilization. It is simply an important pillar for the existence of the entire civilization and the functioning of society.

"Now, this pillar has been broken. It is not an exaggeration to say that the world has collapsed. The reaction of these rat tribes is also unexpected and reasonable."

"yes……"

Lin Yilu's eyes were straightened, looking at the burnt-black rat shape underneath, he was a little dazed.

Lin Yiyan connected with him, and immediately asked, "What are you thinking?"

Lin Yilu said thoughtfully: "I was thinking, what is that 'beyond the times, irrefutable' power?"

Lin Yiyan was slightly taken aback: "What do you mean?"

"Just now, didn't the director say that if in the dark and ignorant Middle Ages, there was an irrefutable force that transcended the times and told people at that time that the true god did not exist, human beings would definitely collapse."

Lin Yilu said seriously, "Then, I was thinking, who told the whole Rat Clan about this now?

"Think about it, such an important matter is related to the continuation of the entire civilization and the meaning of the existence of an individual life. It must not be just a few nonsense words from any cat or dog to make everyone believe it, right?

"It's like promoting the heliocentric theory in the Middle Ages. Although it is more scientific than the geocentric theory, people at that time would not believe it in all likelihood. Instead of breaking people's faith, they would be sent to the stake.

"Suppose, now there is also a fearless warrior 'Bruno' who pursues the truth in the Rat Race, and it shouts loudly, telling all the Rat Race the truth that 'the gods do not exist', will the Rat Race easily believe it, immediately Crash, chaos?

"This is too...too childish, isn't it?"

Everyone was slightly taken aback, and then became excited.

"Yilu, what you said makes sense!"

Director Mu said, "Although the Longtooth Kingdom is limited to a corner of Lingshan City's underground, due to the many underground gaps, twists and turns, and inconvenient transportation, the speed of information transmission must not be so fast. If it is an ordinary rat clan' If the rumor spreads to the public', the news will definitely not spread throughout the kingdom, and it will be arrested.

"In other words, the person who throws out the saying 'True God does not exist' must be in a high position in the Fang Kingdom, have the ability to convince all the Rat Race, and be able to transmit their voice to the Rat Race civilization. Each cluster of nerve endings can create the effect we see before our eyes.

"Chu Ge, there probably won't be too many characters like this in the Long Fang Kingdom, right?"

"Yes."

Chu Ge replied in a deep voice, and the loyal face of the national teacher appeared in front of his eyes.

If anyone could break the will of all the Rat Clan with a single sentence, it would be the National Teacher.

It’s just that Chu Ge couldn’t figure out how to do this, what good is it for the National Teacher? If it is to help the Celestial Organization deal with the Earth Alliance, it doesn’t have to take the initiative to surrender at the beginning, and it will directly lead the Rat Clan , the snake demon led the swarm and turned Lingshan City upside down, wouldn't it be more clean and tidy?

Moreover, Chu Ge had a faint feeling.

The national teacher is by no means willing to be manipulated by others.

The Alliance military cannot manipulate it, the Extraordinary Association cannot manipulate it, let alone the Celestial Organization.

It is always loyal only to itself, to its soul that burns to the end of its life but is still struggling to survive.

"Come on, let's move on, and we'll find out soon."

Chu Ge looked over the dilapidated stronghold to another gap leading to a deeper underground, and said softly but firmly.

Continuing on the road, everyone's heart is heavy.

The deeper you crawl, the higher your vigilance.

Along the way, they met a few lonely Rats, most of them lost their helmets and armor, stunned, poking at the side of the road like statues, muttering in their mouths, immersed in their fragmented spiritual world, and asked them what they wanted. I don't know the answer, or I don't understand the words at all.

There were even some mutated insects that hurried past these mentally broken Rats. They didn't know how to attack, and they seemed to have completely lost even the most basic desire to hunt and survive.

In order to avoid revealing their identities, the soul movers did not pester them, leaving these collapsed Rat Clan behind and moved on.

The tunnel ahead looked more and more familiar, as if Chu Ge had passed by when he followed the expeditionary army towards the snake demon's lair.

Judging from the excavation traces neatly arranged like scales on both sides of the gap, this is the masterpiece of the "Mountain Rat" troops.

Moreover, Chu Ge was still on the rock wall, and found several light spots painted with luminous plant juice in the shape of the Chinese character "pin".

These are the traces he deliberately left when he passed here as a "long tongue" last time.
