One of the reasons is that Zoroastrianism does not trust the middle and lower level gods and Buddhas, but it still trusts the upper level gods and Buddhas.
Azdahaka even felt that some top gods and Buddhas might cooperate with human heroes to perform.
The lower- and middle-level gods and Buddhas do not feel that the final trial of the sealed humans will threaten them.
The human heroes pretended to think so, and the lower-level gods and Buddhas could not refute it.
The threat actually still exists, but it is within the scope of what the top-level gods and Buddhas can handle, and the middle and lower-level gods and Buddhas cannot refute it.
Because of this attitude of human heroes, the top-level gods and Buddhas can only give most of the benefits to human heroes, and it is not the turn of the middle and lower-level gods to refute.
What can we, the top gods and Buddhas, do with your attitude?
In order to invite human heroes to take action, we have no choice but to bleed heavily!
The top gods and Buddhas will transfer the benefits to human heroes in an open and aboveboard manner, and then continue to squeeze a share of the merits from the middle and lower-level gods and Buddhas.
Many top-level gods and Buddhas trust human heroes more than they trust lower-level gods and Buddhas.
All human heroes stuck at four digits, who are eligible to attempt the final trial of humanity, will be eligible to attempt to reach three digits after abandoning their human identities.
To a group of gods, an ordinary three-digit number is not even as important as a powerful four-digit number, but importance is importance and situation is situation.
It is possible for top four-digit numbers to fail when active in the sandbox, but for three-digit numbers, this possibility is very low.
In terms of danger, top four-digit numbers are more dangerous than three-digit numbers.
The same goes for the prospects. If the top four digits become three digits, perhaps they can quickly become stronger.
But unless you are qualified to directly become strong enough to be able to stand on your own among the three-digit figures, otherwise...the gods have invested resources to allow you to adjust your spiritual power countless times at the four-digit level and exert a fighting power comparable to that of a three-digit figure, just to make your way forward smoother after you become a three-digit figure?
Of course not.
After reaching three digits, it is not easy to adjust your spiritual power and become stronger, but compared to the top four digits who are stuck in four digits and become stronger, the prospects are much better.
The importance of the top four-digit numbers is even higher than that of the ordinary three-digit numbers, but in terms of comfort and development prospects, they are not as good as the ordinary three-digit numbers.
When it comes to gaining merits, perhaps the top four digits have more, but the merits gained from the top four digits can only be used to continue developing one's own spiritual power - and in the four-digit range, it is extremely difficult to make further progress.
Most of the top four-digit people, especially humans, are voluntarily stuck in this range.
A small number of them do it to accumulate merits for their growth after reaching three digits, but most of them like humans or like small gardens.
For the top gods and Buddhas who are loyal to humanity, what they trust most is themselves. They are sure that only when the resources of human history are in their hands can they be better invested in the construction of human history.
But if there is no way to get the resources into one's own hands, then one should settle for the next best thing and give the credit to human heroes rather than to the lower-level gods.
Azdahaka thought of everything clearly. His retreat and sealing gave the human heroes who might be able to defeat him an opportunity to seek benefits for humanity.
Some top gods and Buddhas may understand it, but can human heroes understand the situation in the box garden...
We can only leave it to fate.
Azdahaka even felt that now was the best opportunity.
During his previous crusade, the crusaders suddenly lost their human identities during the process—this reason was simply too good to be true.
Why did we lose our human identity? It must be the work of gods and Buddhas.
The gods and Buddhas certainly don’t think that humanity’s final trial poses much of a threat, otherwise how could such a thing happen?
Human Hero: Don't use righteousness to coerce me. Look at the situation of the last trial against humans. Do you think that the continued expansion of absolute evil will really destroy the small garden? I don't believe it.
Furthermore, the danger of fighting against absolute evil was clearly highlighted, and humans had an excuse to shirk their responsibilities.
Human Hero: I have some chance of transcending Absolute Evil, but what if something goes wrong along the way? I am about to win, but a god or Buddha appears and is simulated by Absolute Evil. What if I am expelled from the human race for no apparent reason?
The human heroes have every reason not to conquer the final trial of humanity.
The more frustrated we were in the previous crusade against absolute evil, the more benefits we can negotiate for in the new final crusade against humanity.
Azdahaka is looking forward to this.
He is an out-and-out demon king who will not give up in a battle, but at the same time he is also an ancient type of demon king who is looking forward to heroes defeating him.
In order to make the hero qualified to defeat him, he is even willing to take the initiative to help the hero become stronger, and will even point out to the hero where the holy sword that can hurt him is, so that the hero can get it, and be able to stand on equal terms with him.
Underground, Azdahaka slowly opened his eyes.
The lock is unlocked.
Chapter 71
Azdahaka did not want to leave the seal.
In older literary works, the demon king usually has his own pride. In the works, the demon king is naturally invincible except for the brave men, so the demon king has the capital to be arrogant.
In the small garden, humans are far from invincible in the final trial, but they will not die at the hands of gods and Buddhas, so they can be considered invincible to a certain extent.
However, due to the direction of Azdahaka's spiritual development, a problem arose.
——His health bar is too thick. Before defeating him, you must clear the spiritual energy that serves as his armor.
Before the real battle can begin, a great deal of consumption must be done - and, because human beings' attitude towards the gods has become increasingly hostile throughout history, only humans can take action.
Azdahaka is a Zoroastrian god. He believes that evil is the foundation of good. He hopes that a brave man can surpass him. He also admits that there is motivation only when there is pressure. His actions are destroying human history, and as a result of his actions, brave men who can stop humanity will be born in human history.
But this doesn't mean that he likes to destroy human history.
His intention to destroy human history is based on his hope that a human hero will surpass him. The premise of his evil deeds is his desire to give birth to further goodness based on the evil entity.
He does evil, as absolute evil, destroying other communities like a natural disaster, in order to call for the arrival of good.
Azdahaka recognized the necessity of this matter and was determined to do it.
But there are some things that he doesn't quite agree with.
For example - the sacrifices that one had to make in order to defeat him.
……
How many four-digit strong people are there in the small garden?
There are few well-known four-digit numbers, but the total number of four-digit numbers is not small.
Most of them are active outside the box garden, and the strong ones who can stay inside the box garden are the essence of a group of gods.
Outside the box garden, each group of gods will manage their own power and rely on a large number of people to interfere with the conclusion of human history.
The people in the small garden are very competitive. The five-digit and six-digit people in the large group of gods must be the type who have special skills among their peers and can win the grace game of their peers.
When it comes to the final trial of conquering humanity, now that 'living people' are needed, the conditions are even more stringent.
For example, Hercules, Yang Jian, Arjuna... these have a good reputation in human history, but most of them are regarded as gods, and few people believe that they really existed in human history.
These are not living people.
For example, Guan Yu and Confucius are people that humans believe existed in human history, but no one thought that these people could live until 2000 AD.
To conquer the final trial of humanity, one needs living people, that is, people who are generally recognized as alive by humans today and meet this condition to become four-digit strongmen.
This is difficult. During the period in human history when Confucius was believed to be alive, his number would naturally be in the four digits, but the number of Confucius' disciples was severely limited.
It is too difficult to reach four digits based on just a few decades of achievements and understanding of the world view.
Speaking of Confucius' disciples, at the level of the Seventy-two Sages, except for a few who died midway, the number must be at least in the four digits.
However, it was with the later development of Confucianism that these people were gradually given credit for their achievements, and their number of talents reached four digits.
There are many four-digit numbers in the sandbox, but after excluding various non-human races, there are not many four-digit humans.
After removing the dead, four-digit living people are even rarer.
Whether human heroes appear in human history on their own initiative, or human heroes are cultivated in the box garden and are intended to be incorporated into human history, there are age requirements.
There is no very clear age requirement. For example, some worlds have clear regulations that the life span of the Human Emperor shall not exceed 200 years.
The closing of the sandbox is more gradual.
You say you have lived to be a hundred years old. In human history, some people believe you can live that long, while some people don’t.
You said you have lived for a hundred and twenty years, but the number of believers has decreased, and the number of non-believers has increased.
If you say you’ve lived to be a hundred and fifty, most people won’t believe you.
The older the person is, the fewer people will believe that you are still alive, and the more serious the rejection in human history will be.
But this is just a trend, not a definite age.
For example, according to rumors, until the Qing Dynasty, there were still people claiming that they had met Zhang Sanfeng, and some people actually believed it.
Zhang Sanfeng is clearly recorded as a historical figure in human history, so he is naturally considered a human being.
Until the Qing Dynasty, there were still a very small number of people who believed that Zhang Sanfeng was still alive in the world... To a certain extent, this also counts as a living person.
It's just that this is a special case, and there are very few people who believe it. Compared with those who don't believe it, it is difficult for the gods and Buddhas in the box garden to use "Zhang Sanfeng is a living human being" to conclude and interfere in human history.
For the gods, the requirement for judging human history would not even be as good as setting a clear requirement of 200 years.
Those before the age of 200 are considered living humans, and those after the age of 200 who possess human genes are considered dead - it is good to have such a clear distinction.
But in reality, let alone two hundred, for most of the powerful four-digit humans, before the age of seventy, it becomes a bit difficult to conclude human history as a living person.
Not only do people not believe that you are still alive at the age of seventy, they also do not believe that you can still be strong and healthy at the age of seventy and beat up a certain monarch.
On the contrary, research talents who specialize in the conclusion of human history are more likely to produce results as they get older.
In the field of research talent, it's completely the opposite.
Research talents use the grace of barely reaching the conditions for closure, and use the convenience of being alive (their own people) to try to converge on human history.
When the parties involved are young, human history will mostly not want those favors that can be concluded or not.
By the time a person is in his sixties or seventies, human history will most likely have come to a close.
Humans generally believe that people who have reached this age are knowledgeable and respected, so human history naturally approves requests that can be concluded or not.
——Of course, if it is a request for a favor that is extremely beneficial to human history, human history will not hold up the approval process and may even grant it direct approval.
The criteria for judging human history once made gods and Buddhas, and even humans themselves, feel a little disgusted.
Human history does not really care about the internal affairs of human beings, but one must know that there is no end to this matter within human beings.
Conclusion is a request made by the sandbox to human history. Even if it is a real living person who concludes human history through the sandbox, it is still an external affair that needs to be handled by human history.
Therefore, whether the person concerned is alive or not is not determined by facts, but by all of humanity after a comprehensive assessment of human history.
A human hero in his seventies or eighties who is still alive in the records of human history wants to conclude a certain event through what he has done in the small garden - human history will not care about the truth for the time being and choose to wait and see.
