CHAPTER 565: CHAPTER 531: GOD IS EVERYWHERE
Invaded by a god?
Madman?
Jiang Xiao remembered the last few medical logs he saw on the computer.
The owner of the diary’s mental state seemed to have also become somewhat abnormal...
It was all about deicide, killing gods, and such.
Could it be that anyone who encounters this deity is doomed to a bad end?
"It seems that this god is rather petty," he mused.
Hearing Jiang Xiao’s words, several elders exchanged glances, then slowly shook their heads and said,
"No, it’s not about God. God is exalted, uninvolved with the mundane world. In the eyes of God, our actions are as trivial as ants pretending to be humans. Those who covet Him simply cannot bear the consequences of witnessing God."
Jiang Xiao: ...
"Why uninvolved with the mundane world? Didn’t you just say that this virus was created by God? If one simply looks at Him, He turns them mad. Isn’t that petty?"
"Perhaps He did it out of a whim. For instance, if you see a pile of ants, you can’t resist stepping on them, or seeing an anthill, you can’t resist urinating into it. You don’t think about what the ants are feeling. It’s not about right or wrong, God just did something very ordinary, like eating or drinking..."
The old gentlemen, noticing that Jiang Xiao was a bit slow on the uptake, tried their best to explain their understanding in a simple and clear manner.
"So why does God turn those who spy on Him into madmen?"
Historically, the Prophets were, the owner of the diary was, and in the end, they all seemed to have gone mad.
"This has nothing to do with God. Imagine, if you were an ant and you could in no way comprehend human beings and their existence, let alone medical technology and everything else. If one day you discovered humans and tried to understand them...imagine the inner sadness of that ant, so going mad is the natural consequence."
Jiang Xiao thought for a long time before he understood the old gentlemen’s point.
It seemed that perhaps God didn’t intend to destroy humanity.
Rather...
It was akin to accidentally dropping a grain of rice under the table while eating or sneezing because you choked on water.
Nothing more.
As for those who went mad.
It was entirely because the discrepancy in their hearts was too great after "observing" the existence of God, and they chose the path to death on their own.
This was also recorded in the medical logs of the diary’s owner.
The historian died a terrible death, but he had an incredibly happy smile on his face at the end.
"This is a bit troublesome..."
Jiang Xiao furrowed his brows tightly. Was this entity truly something he, as one of the chosen ones, could deal with?
Before, he had been full of confidence, thinking that he could just let Bai Liu take over.
But the deeper his understanding of ’God,’ the more he felt a sense of powerlessness.
...
Director Wang followed the aboriginal for nearly an hour.
The soil underfoot became softer and softer, and the dense trees gradually thinned out, finally arriving at what they called the tribe.
However, the scene before him was somewhat unexpected, as it didn’t look like an organized settlement at all, not even a decent fence to be seen.
In the center of the tribe, a group of dark-skinned natives sat on the ground.
The men formed a circle, buzzing and discussing something fervently.
Meanwhile, the women were busily dealing with food and other housework on the side.
A few mischievous little black children were climbing all over the place, their laughter and screams overlapping, full of vitality and vigor.
Director Wang looked around. Although the living conditions here seemed very primitive.
But the faces of the tribe’s people brimmed with simple smiles, which made him feel a tinge of warmth and tranquility.
The moods of the rest of the group also relaxed somewhat.
Thankfully, the Nika Tribe was not the bloodthirsty, eerie, and bizarre type they had imagined.
However, the most eye-catching was an extremely old, dark-skinned elderly woman sitting in the center of the tribe.
Her skin seemed to have weathered countless years of exposure, covered in wrinkles, yet her gaze was exceptionally sharp, as if it could pierce into one’s heart.
Around the elderly woman were scattered a few odd items, seemingly the sacred objects of the tribe.
The elderly woman noticed Director Wang’s arrival, she slowly lifted her head and said something with a tone filled with wisdom.
Xiao Qian took the initiative to step forward, and after a long conversation with her, she finally turned to Director Wang and said,
Her meaning was,
"Foreigner, you have come from afar, surely seeking something."
Director Wang’s heart tightened; he had not expected this seemingly fragile old person to see through his intentions at a glance.
He took a deep breath and then tried to make his voice sound as calm and respectful as possible.
"Yes, I indeed have come to ask for help. I heard that your tribe has a long history and profound knowledge, and I hope to receive some guidance."
Xiao Qian frowned, struggling to convey Director Wang’s intended message to the elderly woman.
The locals here all seemed very amiable and did not immediately reject Director Wang, but instead signaled that he could ask whatever questions he had.
Subsequently, Director Wang inquired about the altar, as well as the complex patterns on it; what were they exactly?
Did they have any deeper meaning?
"She says, those are symbols bestowed by the gods, they are their bridge of communication with the gods..."
It took a while before Xiao Qian translated the underlying meaning of the elderly woman’s words.
Gods?
Again, the gods?
Was the god the elderly woman spoke of the same one discovered by the diary owner in Kaidan?
If not, why were the symbols so similar?
If so, one god in the world of Kaidan and another on their Blue Star, why was there the same god?
"Should we tell them that we’ve seen similar symbols in Kaidan as well?"
Someone suggested.
"Sure."
When the elderly woman learned that Director Wang and the others had seen similar symbols elsewhere, she got so excited that her whole body trembled!
The originally calm and kind eyes suddenly turned into unparalleled madness!
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Xiao Qian added that the symbols were not discovered in this world, but in another world.
This barely managed to bring the elderly woman back to a semblance of composure, though excitement still shone on her face.
"God, it must be God, only God could traverse through each world, ah no, that’s not right! To be precise, it’s that people from every world can witness the existence of God! Because God is omniscient and omnipotent, present everywhere! God is the creator of all spirits!"
Uh...
Director Wang couldn’t help but interrupt the impassioned Xiao Qian.
"I mean, Qian, the old lady didn’t strike that many poses, right? How come you’ve translated so many words?"
"I’m telling you, the whole country should promote Xiao Qian’s mode of communication, huh, a three-second motion can be converted into a long speech."
"Cough." Xiao Qian couldn’t help but cough awkwardly as she explained, "Well, I added a bit of personal emotion to the information given by the old lady, doesn’t it sound less dry this way?"
The others: ...
