Hearing her say this, Zhang Mu confirmed what he had in mind - to create a god!
Avril held her chin with her hand: "I once thought that the demise of the Ice Empire was due to the chivalry law that trained the Griffin Cavalry. Later, I speculated that the last Ice King violated some taboo, such as trying to destroy the church that represents God.
Later, when I accepted the inheritance, I realized that it was not because of these things. The fundamental reason was that the successive Ice and Snow Kings longed for the throne of God and kept trying to activate the artifact of faith, even though they knew it was impossible to succeed. "
With a slight sigh, she continued, "Sol Continent has been ruled by the current god, and all the people of Sol Continent have devoted their faith to him."
Zhang Mu was puzzled: "If faith can create gods, the church that obeys gods should work hard to cultivate believers, but they don't seem to be very enthusiastic."
It is well known that the church never forces the creatures of the Sol continent to believe in God.
"Faith does not refer to worshipping gods, or placing a firm belief in them." Avril looked at the sky through the open window on the left. "Yes, there are many people who never go to church, and never kneel down to worship gods, but they are all very sure that there are gods in Sol Continent, and there are indeed gods in Sol Continent.
Believing in the existence of this god is faith.
Do you understand, fellow student?
The so-called faith refers to the firm belief that there is such a god in the world, and the people of Sol Continent are extremely devout in their "faith" in this. "
Zhang Mu pondered for a few seconds: "When the god was born in ancient times, he sealed the artifact of faith in order to suppress his competitors. Over the past tens of thousands of years, all creatures only believe in his existence. There is no soil in the Sol Continent that can breed another god, so he doesn't care about unsealing the artifact."
"Yes, it is like that."
"Then what if someone successfully activates the artifact of faith and collects faith in his name?"
"Then the god will be very happy because someone has taken the initiative to help him strengthen his faith."
“That’s right, they believe in the existence of this God.
Even if all the artifacts were unsealed and could be used again, it would only be to help him."
That's how it is. It's impossible for a second god to appear on the Thor Continent. However...
Zhang Mu laughed.
In Avril's eyes, his smile was a little strange: "What's wrong?"
"No, nothing." Zhang Mu raised his hand to smooth the corner of his mouth, "I was just thinking, if I become a god one day, I will definitely take my senior sister with me."
Avril raised her beautiful eyebrows and said, "I hope your dream will come true soon. I also want to experience what it feels like to become a god."
Zhang Mu was overjoyed. He continued chatting with Avril for a while, then stood up and left the palace, calling out a portal to return to Blue Star.
As soon as he came out, Zhang Mu immediately ran to buy some mythology books and immersed himself in the "world" to study hard.
Don't get me wrong, Zhang Mu is not planning to use the name of Blue Star's native god to spread faith.
"Firmly believing that there is such a God" is faith.
According to this principle, if Zhang Mu used the image of a local god, he would probably not become a god himself in the end, but would create a god out of thin air.
He read the mythological books with the intention of referring to human’s understanding of God, so as to design an efficient plan for becoming a god that conforms to human cognition.
Recently, Ame, Ying, and China have been relatively peaceful and not suitable for trouble. Russia, which is currently conducting the selection competition, is undoubtedly the most appropriate experimental subject.
"Believe firmly in the existence of such a God." After reading all the books in one day, Zhang Mu stood up and muttered, "This is much easier than the belief in common sense.
Well, let’s try it first.”
His mind moved slightly, and the light gate leading to the exit of Russia opened. Zhang Mu activated the shadow technique and walked into the door.
Chapter 368 God Comes from Heaven
Russia.
An unknown mountain.
In the open space on the top of the mountain, Zhang Mu sat cross-legged on the ground, looking at the statue in his hand.
The stone sculpture has no visible features, as it has no face at all. The carving technique is very crude, and one can only infer that it is a person from the outline that resembles a human.
It has hands and legs, no hair, a flat chest, and no Adam's apple on its neck, but this does not mean it is a female.
Zhang Mu looked up and down at the stone sculpture and understood why the statues enshrined in the church were faceless, because this was the most effective way to suppress competitors, and it also made it easier for him to collect faith.
Zhang Mu raised his head and looked into the distance.
The pure white mountains covered with snow stretch out and rise and fall, half of the setting sun is blocked by the peaks, and the afterglow falls and sparkles on the white snow.
"There are two problems." Zhang Mu thought about the plan to become a god, and said to himself, "First, how to guide the faith to bless me smoothly, and second... how to contract this thing?
My senior gave me the blueprint of the contract magic circle. If all else fails, I can steal it from Novak. But the question is... can the owner of a faith artifact that has been contracted be changed?
Try it."
Zhang Mu stood up and bent down to set up a magic circle on the open space on the top of the mountain.
High-quality magic crystals that serve as nodes are placed one by one in specific locations. When the last one lands, the crystal extends lines outward.
The lines appear chaotic, but they actually meander in a regular rhythm, connecting perfectly with the lines of other crystals.
A contract magic circle slowly took shape.
When everything was ready, Zhang Mu took out a long sword from his storage bag and used local materials to carve a square pillar half a person's height out of rock. He placed it in the middle of the magic circle, and then placed the stone sculpture on top of the square pillar.
"Tsk, I wonder if there will be thunder." Zhang Mu took out the magic crystal to infuse energy into the magic circle while recalling the information he overheard from Novak, "It shouldn't be.
He said that the lightning struck to unseal the artifact. This stone sculpture has been unsealed and is no longer needed.
But what about changing owners?
If the owner changes, I need to do it again..."
No matter what, Zhang Mu would never give up on becoming a god, so even though his tone was hesitant, his movements did not slow down at all, but became faster instead.
Soon, the magic circle's energy was filled, and all the lines lit up with a dim blue light.
“Success or failure depends on this one move.” Zhang Mu stood in front of the square pillar, closed his eyes, connected his mental power to the core, and controlled the magic circle to start operating.
The light on the lines gradually became brighter, and the person being stabbed could hardly open his eyes. But after a long time, the stone sculpture remained motionless, and did not slowly open its eyes like Novak did.
However, he was not anxious at all, and the corners of his mouth slowly rose.
He could feel a vague connection between the statue and himself, and as time went by, the connection deepened until the stone sculpture became a part of himself.
The stone sculpture's eyes finally opened, but its look was a little dazed.
This is... I see.
Zhang Mu looked at "Zhang Mu" who was facing him with his eyes closed, and suddenly he understood.
The task was accomplished. Zhang Muxin happily returned to his body, walked forward and held the stone sculpture, sorting out the information he received from the stone sculpture in his mind.
“So… a long time ago, a war between gods broke out on the continent of Thor, and all the gods died.
They were unwilling to give up, so they left their bodies behind, hoping for the day when a miracle would happen.
Who knows...haha, the humans from the Thor continent took advantage of it."
Zhang Mu's expression became extremely strange: "If those gods had known that many years later, a creature that could use their 'corpses' would appear on the Thor Continent, they probably wouldn't have taken the chance to leave their remains behind."
The humans of Sol Continent...
According to Novak, before the ancient war, humans were just livestock of alien races, and they were free to take whatever they wanted. They had the strength to not only resist slavery, but also to survive.
The result... was really lucky.
"Speaking of which, why do humans and gods have similar physical appearances?"
Zhang Mu thought about it for a long time, but it was obvious that there was no answer, so he gave up.
“Maybe you’ll know after you become a god.”
Muttering something, he walked to the edge of the clearing and looked down at a chase taking place at the bottom of the mountain.
On one side is the Warcraft, on the other side is the Russian man. The former is chasing, the latter is fleeing.
The Russians ran madly, leaving a trail of footprints in the snow behind them, which were quickly replaced by footprints of disaster.
He was holding a rifle in his arms, which was the greatest confidence of humans when encountering wild beasts in the wild. But at this moment he did not have the courage to turn around and shoot, he just kept running wildly.
The man and the monster chased each other to a slope. Behind the slope, in the snow, a Russian main battle tank stood quietly, and next to the tank was a long table with various weapons on it.
From small pistols to large individual rocket launchers, we have everything.
Zhang Mu knew that the weapons were officially supported by Russia. He didn't care much about this "foul" in his heart. After all, the condition of killing the disaster alone was to delay the construction of No. 17.
Now that the completion date of the 17th is approaching, it naturally doesn’t matter when the selectees pass the assessment.
The Russian's physical strength was obviously exhausted and his speed gradually slowed down. If the monster had not been injured twice by Zhang Mu, he would probably have died under the monster's claws.
But even so, the Russians who had been fleeing for days had already reached their limit, and the monsters were already right behind them.
Fortunately, they finally climbed over the top of the slope and the Russians saw the tanks below.
He didn't have time to be surprised at why weapons appeared in the snow in the wilderness, or whether it was a gift from nature. With all the remaining strength in his body, he rolled and crawled down the tank slope.
Judging from the direction he was heading, his target was clear - a tank.
Zhang Mu, who was watching, became interested.
With good luck, it looks like he can drive a tank.
With Warcraft's current injuries... he can win if he successfully enters the tank, and he can save his life even if he can't fire. The dying Warcraft can no longer break the tank's armor.
Who will the goddess of luck favor?
Zhang Mu sat down with his legs hanging in the air: "It's a pity that Senior Sister is not here, otherwise we could make a bet."
The "two men" who were chasing the enemy certainly didn't know that someone was looking down at them from the top of the mountain. They were both very busy, one was busy getting into the tank, and the other was busy preventing the other from getting into the tank.
Yes, Warcraft knows what the Russians want to do.
During the more than half a year it has been stranded in Russia, it has seen "clumsy big guys" like tanks more than once.
Before it was seriously injured again and fell into a coma, it often wandered around the tanks it had captured, took a nap on the turrets, and sharpened its claws on the armor.
So it is very familiar with tanks, at least as far as armor is concerned.
If it was before the second serious injury, he would not care about the prey entering the body of the "clumsy big guy". It sharpened its claws several times without paying attention, and used too much force to grind through the armor.
But times have changed. The past is the past, and the present is now.
The monster's pupils contracted, and a strong murderous intent emanated from its body.
We must catch up with him before he gets close to the "big stupid guy", otherwise...
