The Growth of a God

Chapter 85 The Concept of God (25)

"Go to the bottom of the sea to negotiate with the mermaids?"

He slammed the bone table suddenly, stared at someone not far away with an angry look on his face and shouted loudly.

"Are you crazy or am I? Do you know what this means?"

With a calm expression, he glanced at the other prophets present, and Gu Sheng saw opposition to his trip on their faces.

"I'm not crazy yet, and banging the table won't help solve the problem."

After signaling Xiong Xiong beside Ali to stop the rage of their prophet, Gu Sheng said calmly.

"Negotiations must be done in good faith."

"What do you think is a more sincere act than me going to the bottom of the sea to negotiate with the mermaids?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the prophets, who had previously been taciturn, suddenly fell silent.

The rules of "think tanks" make them reluctant to speak in areas they are not good at.

"Sincerity?"

“What sincerity do we need?”

"We're not the only ones afraid of a war! There's also that group of cowards hiding at the bottom of the sea!"

"Besides, isn't it just a war? It's not like we haven't fought before!"

The angry Ali raised his voice again, but this time he was met with a sharp question from Gu Sheng.

“We did fight, but did we win?”

This question stumped Ali, and Gu Sheng continued speaking.

"It's easy to start a war. All you have to do now is go to the beach and kill a mermaid. Then the second 'God's Punishment War' will begin."

"But the question now is, is it really necessary?"

Looking around again, Gu Sheng's expression seemed a little angry.

"We are different from those creatures. We are a species between life and death, and we don't have so many needs."

"Food and water are meaningless to us."

"All we need is a piece of territory to live on."

"Isn't this exactly why we built the 'City of Bones' in the first place?"

Ignoring the prophets who were looking at each other in confusion, Gu Sheng's voice returned to calm again.

"This world is huge, and it is destined not to have the concept of 'country' as leaders talk about."

"Because every piece of land in this world belongs to the Creator..."

"We are just creatures living on this land, not the masters of this land."

In a world where true God exists, no race dares to claim that this land belongs exclusively to them.

Boneborn understands this better than any other skeleton, because it is an offense to the power of the gods.

Coupled with the influence of the undead over the years, all living beings in this world are very clear that "they are children of the Father God."

As long as God the Father exists, the possibility of the "children" separating and becoming independent is extremely small.

Of course, it would be another matter if the skeleton people and the hundreds of tribes in the mountains and seas could have a "glorious world" that belongs only to them, just like the undead.

At least within the scope of the Mountain and Sea Realm, most far-sighted races know where the bottom line is.

"This guy named Gusheng... is indeed a very capable leader."

Looking at the meeting on the computer screen with a strange expression, Li Hao realized for the first time his position in the Mountain and Sea Realm.

He is not just a "creator" in name only, his existence even affects the future development trend of the world. As long as the race believes in the existence of the Creator, the Creator is the greatest patriarch of the entire mountain and sea world.

The children at home are allowed to make noise and fight.

But when it comes to things like dividing the family property, no one dares to bring it up unless the head of the family speaks up.

"This leader of the Skeleton People is indeed very far-sighted."

Huashe, who was also watching the meeting, spoke at this time.

"However, its theory does not apply to all worlds."

Huashe was very clear about his identity and started to explain without Li Hao even asking him any more questions.

"First of all, not all gods are like you, caring and protecting the growth of their own races."

Huashe was indeed flattering, but what he said was also true.

"Secondly, not all races are as...'filial' as the undead and the skeletons."

After thinking for a while, Huashe used the word "filial piety", which is relatively able to reflect the intimacy, to describe the relationship between the two.

"How the gods treat us is how we will treat them."

"This is a sentence my father God once said, and it also reflects the relationship between most gods and living beings."

"When the gods only want to harvest faith, the creatures living in the gods' world will only offer faith."

"I even heard Father God say that some arrogant creatures would even take the initiative to leave the world protected by the gods, even if it meant going to war with the gods."

Li Hao nodded thoughtfully. He could understand what Huashe said.

Since there are families with loving fathers and filial children in this world, there are naturally also families with unkind fathers and unfilial children.

"Under normal circumstances, how would gods deal with this kind of problem?"

Hearing this, it was Huashe's turn to stare at Li Hao with a strange look.

"Generally speaking, gods won't deal with such 'small matters'."

"As long as it doesn't lead to the extinction of a race, the gods won't even pay attention to such things."

"Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that some gods with dark tendencies will take the initiative to trigger and promote a war between the two races."

Still as considerate as ever, Huashe took the initiative to explain again.

"After all, the progress of civilization in a peaceful environment is not the same as the progress of civilization in an extremely harsh environment."

"It's just like raising Gu. No one would think that raising Gu is a cruel thing, and the same is true for gods."

"Perhaps you haven't adapted to your current identity yet, so you feel this confusion."

"In fact, if you regard the wars in the Mountain and Sea Realm as a process of breeding Gu, you won't have such thoughts."

"The harder they fight, the stronger their faith in you will be, and the faster their civilization will improve."

"My father once mentioned a main god named 'God of War and Civilization'. He has the ability to cultivate an advanced civilization in just three or four hundred years."

Huashe didn't say anything else, but Li Hao had already understood the subtext of his words.

A race like the Skeleton People, who have only developed the most basic civilization structure after tens of thousands of years, has no value at all in the eyes of normal gods.

“It’s a little cruel, but unexpectedly reasonable.”

Li Hao, whose worldview was once again refreshed, was silent for a while, and then he showed his signature smile.

"But 'time' doesn't seem to be that important to me."
