The indirect angle is different.
Humans cannot attack the gods with knives or bows and arrows.
But humans can dig a hole in the path that the gods walk on, and after the gods fall down, they can starve them for half a month, eventually starving them to death.
There are countless ways to indirectly harm the gods, and when the harmful nature of the gods is slightly exposed, there are so many actions that humans can take.
Among humans, 'nobility' is as rare as a miracle, and the 'darkness' created in order to survive seems bottomless.
As humans gradually come to understand gods and explore their true nature... at least in the future, all kinds of gods will join humans.
After understanding the darkness of mankind, I decided to take a look at the future direction of mankind, and fell in love with that kind of mankind, etc.
By starting with the divine authority and character of the gods little by little, we can definitely win over many gods to the side of humans.
Su Qing felt that Uranus's thinking was too superficial. Since there were billions of years as time units, and he felt that he could not completely kill the gods at that time, he could secretly guide the interests of the gods and control the character changes of the gods to form a cycle.
When the gods become curious about something, analyze why they find it interesting, and force them to give it up temporarily before they get bored of it and focus on other things that interest them.
Stop before the gods find something boring, so that they can form fond memories of that thing, and feel the aftertaste whenever they think of it... Gradually, they will deepen their interest in that thing.
Slowly, a perfect system will be formed.
The gods in the world of Dicuo cannot control their own interests, but Su Qing feels that humans can definitely do something similar.
The gods are not completely reckless. They also have weaknesses. They hate boredom. Based on this, if there is a way to make the gods not appear bored, but it requires the gods to be a little patient, then most gods will restrain themselves.
As long as the gods of the Earthly World are placed in the context of the 20th and 21st centuries, humans can study them clearly.
Compared to humans who have unstable mental states, many of the mental states of gods originate from their priesthood. It is easier to adjust the state of gods through psychology than to treat mental illness.
For a homebody like Hestia, a team is specially arranged to make games for her that collect homebodies, and they keep her hooked with several games a year to ensure that she stays honest. When she is free, she looks forward to the future instead of feeling bored.
Other gods can also be controlled using similar methods.
——Of course, there must be gods who think this is boring, but the most important thing is proportion.
For example, if war gods were placed in the 21st century, some of them would be addicted to lawn-mowing video games, some would be addicted to competitive games, some would limit their physical strength to go to the real battlefield... Naturally, there would be some left who would find the human world boring and plan to liberate their divine power to destroy the human world.
But how much are the gods in the last part?
The gods of the wrong world can play the clan game for a thousand years without getting tired of it. There are definitely not many gods who plan to release their divine power to destroy the human world.
Not much, which is equivalent to nothing.
As long as the gods who are harmful to mankind are always in the minority, when they intend to create chaos, the remaining majority will crush the minority to the ground.
From the perspective of ordinary people, the gods in the world of Dicuo, even if they are just gods of fun, still have some self-control.
——Although that was forced out by hundreds of millions of years of experience, it is because the gods hate boring days and tend to chew on interesting things more when they encounter them.
Su Qing felt that the gods in the Earthly World had completely taken the wrong path.
The gods descend to the mortal world to experience the 'unknown' of the underworld.
But at the same time, after the gods descended to the world, the "unknown" underground completely stagnated and developed.
The biggest problem with the gods in the world of Dicuo is that they have no self-awareness, are too weak and too timid.
If the gods had cleared out the dungeons after coming down to earth, leaving a normal world for humans, and not used that rubbish God's Grace system, in a thousand years humans would have been able to produce results that would satisfy the gods.
As human society continues to develop, more and more "unknowns" will be born. If they reach the level of the 20th and 21st centuries before Su Qing traveled through time, the various scientific principles, literary works, etc. that humans continue to produce will definitely meet the needs of most gods.
But the gods in the world of Dicuo are truly useless.
The gods in the world of Dicuo like the unknown but hate boredom. They only have a superficial understanding of exploring the unknown and want to give up when they encounter some difficulties. If they were normal people, they would choose to be tools at this time.
We gods like the unknown and hate boredom, so let's create props to help us explore the unknown. They endure boredom to explore the world, and we gods experience the joy of their exploration behind them and provide a little help at critical moments, isn't that enough?
At least if it were a human, they would definitely think so.
If you want to make money but don't want to work, then why not create a tool that uses less power but can produce the same effect? Why not just make a robot to do the work?
But the problem is that the gods in the world of Dicuo think they are awesome.
The gods themselves cannot stand the boredom of exploring the unknown. They feel that even perfect gods cannot explore it, let alone other flawed races.
The attitude of most gods is not 'you other races should make up for the shortcomings of our gods', but 'we gods are not good enough, then this is the limit of the world, and you other races will only be worse if you try'.
It is precisely because of this unspoken arrogance that the gods of the Earthly World did something completely contrary to what they said.
The gods descended to the mortal world to experience the unknown that the "imperfection" of the people in the mortal world brought to them.
Meanwhile, the spirit fixed the framework.
This is a game between adventurers and dungeons, a game between dragons and heroes. With the grace of God provided by the gods, many heroes have invested their lives in this game in order to pass it.
——It’s outrageous.
To be honest, the gods cannot be blamed for this matter. Without the support of the gods, humans might have been destroyed by the monsters born in the dungeon. The gods are indeed supporting humans, even if the support is weak, it is still support.
The gods have been mere spectators of the disasters that mankind has suffered over the past thousand years, and they have even helped a little.
The biggest mistake of gods is that they think they are great and are completely unaware of how imperfect they are.
They have been immersed in this game for thousands of years, in which humans grow up and defeat dragons.
——Gods of this level should act as pure supporters and investors, and use their power to allow humans to use that power to develop society and explore the unknown. This will definitely help the gods get rid of boredom.
In this world, not only humans, but all intelligent species, especially gods, are the weakest in "heart".
All living things have experienced the survival of the fittest, and only those individuals that are excellent enough can survive. Only the gods are different. During those hundreds of millions of years, not only will some gods who "do not deserve to survive" not be eliminated, even gods who originally had normal "hearts" will be driven crazy because of these long years.
The gods who are the weakest in heart are the undisputed strongest race in the world.
If that were all, there would still be hope.
As long as the gods can recognize their own shortcomings, step back and act as spectators instead of participants, the world can still develop normally.
It just so happens that the gods are strong, weak, and arrogant. They arrogantly think they are the most perfect race, and that if they are not good, then other races are even worse.
Even when experiencing the unknown in the netherworld, we had to create a framework of God's grace and a game framework for heroes to fight dragons.
Among other races, the best ones devote themselves to the games of gods, learn the knowledge of gods, and then die after a few hundred years at most.
——If you are not crazy, you can’t think of this thing.
Gods come to the mortal world to experience the unknown, so why would they teach what they know to humans instead of watching humans explore the world and develop new things by their own means?
Gods come to the mortal world to experience the unknown, so why do they create a framework like God's Grace instead of providing divine power to humans like immortal spirits, allowing humans to develop their own power?
It's not that the gods are afraid of other races. The gods consider themselves the most perfect and have regarded all other lives as defective races for hundreds of millions of years. How could they be afraid of defective products?
Because the gods think that they are the most perfect.
The knowledge they know is the truth, and the methods of becoming stronger they provide are the most reasonable.
There may be surprises, such as today's heroes not being as powerful as those of the past, but in the eyes of the gods, those are only rare cases and are miracles.
Moreover, if he is a true hero, even if he has God's grace to lock the growth limit, this is an extremely unfavorable condition in battle, the hero can overcome this danger.
Just outrageous.
Anyway, Su Qing felt that the gods in this world were really incapable of doing anything, but it would be fine if they were incapable of doing anything, but they still thought they were very capable.
It's just like the various clients who have no clue in their brains.
The gods of this world, if placed in the context of the 21st century, are indeed worth utilizing.
——But it disappears when placed in the context of the sandbox.
In the context of the 21st century, it is necessary to worship these gods, satisfy and control their various preferences, in order to utilize the power of these gods.
Put it in the box.
...These gods are truly unworthy.
Chapter 16 Questions
Amid the excitement of the gods, the divine meeting is about to disperse.
Sometimes it is hard to say whether to describe the gods in the world of Dicuo as hateful or pitiful. Every time they encounter something of interest, they become so excited as if it were New Year's Day.
For the gods, watching the children work hard to grow and take risks is something they have long wanted to experience.
But having said that, the dungeon does not allow gods to enter. After sensing the power of gods, the dungeon will go berserk - to a certain extent, the safety of all adventurers in the dungeon is in the hands of the gods.
The god of forging can forge weapons that grow with humans, and the god of wine can brew wine that people can't help but be addicted to. Naturally, if there are dark gods or assassination gods who want to enter the dungeon and unleash their divine power, they cannot hide it with the limited manpower of the guild.
When the gods unleash their divine power in the dungeon, a group of adventurers will die instantly because of the dungeon's rampage, and those family members who are on the expedition will inevitably be in danger of death.
For the gods, the clan game in the underworld is a game of this level. As long as a few gods are completely tired of the clan game, the game will be difficult to continue.
But to this day, the clan game is still going on, not for any other reason, but simply because the gods are tired of the boring life.
The gods gradually became bored with the children's growth, but if it were them, it would be a different story.
Become stronger little by little, experience growth like children, and experience new adventures again and again.
Although they were very curious about how Zeus and other gods in heaven did all this, compared to the "fun", it was not important, and most gods felt that there was no need to dig into the details.
The Gods' Assembly came to an end amid heated discussions. Most of the gods left in high spirits, ready to prepare for their adventure the next day.
But the expressions of the few remaining gods were unexpectedly serious.
"Uranus, what's going on?"
A middle-aged male god in front of Uranus asked.
"Just as you see before your eyes, Takemiya Thunder God." Uranus replied expressionlessly.
"If you are the one who established the union and made the rules for the clans in the underworld, you cannot fail to realize the consequences of allowing the gods to become stronger."
Jian Yulei looked a little anxious. If gods could become stronger and experience the joy of adventure and growth, then the necessity for human existence would disappear.
Will there still be some gods who continue to love humans?
But the key is "part". For the gods who cannot kill each other, numbers are the most absolute violence. As a minority of gods, they have no say.
Uranus shook his head slightly and asked, "This is the decision of Zeus and the gods who stayed in heaven. It has nothing to do with me."
