Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 450 I've never been so excited before...

This eternal realm may have been created by God. The eternal angels represent the sky, the holy dragons represent the sea and all the magical beasts on the continent, and King Easton represents nature and life.

The original elves were perhaps the most devout believers, but the later ones were definitely not; otherwise, the event of "changing faith because other gods came to the territory of other gods" would not have occurred.

The elven race today is not devout in its faith in the gods!

The purpose of this second test was simply that the Eternal Lord hoped to see the faith of the beings within the Eternal Realm become devout once again; nothing more.

But Tang San didn't want that to happen.

Unity of faith?

What does "unity" mean? Does it mean believing in a certain entity?

Tang San didn't think so.

"Do you know what a god is?" Tang San asked Mengmeng and Nian Nian.

"have no idea."

Mengmeng, Niannian, and the other sixty-odd elves all sat down cross-legged, shaking their heads like rattles, which looked quite spectacular, but also adorably silly.

Elves are, after all, a simple race.

In this eternal realm, apart from the conflict of faiths, there are probably no other dangers. Therefore, the creatures here are relatively simple, including the three gods.

Of course, this so-called naivety is relative; Tang San will not really let his guard down.

"God created all things, but why did God create all things?" Tang San said slowly. "For the sake of faith in all things? If He can create all things, why does He need faith?"

Mengmeng, Niannian, and the others were puzzled, but their eyes grew brighter, as if Tang San was explaining a truth they had never known before.

For example, God does not need faith.

King Easton, the Holy Dragon, and the Eternal Angel, who were secretly observing, stated:

you fart!

But that's how Tang San explained his own set of "truths"—no, that's how he did it.

"Miss Mengmeng, where do you usually live, what do you eat, and what do you do?"

"Me?" Mengmeng was taken aback, then said, "I live inside the Elf Tree, and I eat the fruits that grow on trees. What I do usually is cultivate, decorate my house, plant trees and flowers, pick fruits, and so on."

Tang San nodded, then asked Nian Nian, "And what about you?"

"I'm similar to Mengmeng." Nian Nian also described her daily life. She had no defenses against Tang San at all. Her innocent appearance made Tang San's conscience ache a little.

"So, did God help you in building treehouses, planting trees, and making food?" Tang San asked all the elves present, and after listening to their similar answers, he continued to ask.

"No...no."

Mengmeng and Niannian both shook their heads. "Since the elves were born in this forest, these are techniques that our ancestors figured out by trial and error. They weren't given to us by the gods..."

As they spoke, their voices grew softer.

After all, according to the line of thought given by Tang San, gods seem to be of no use at all?

"so--"

Tang San opened his arms and raised them upwards, as if embracing the world. "God created the world and doesn't care about faith at all. You live here, so just live according to your own ideas. Whatever your faith, as long as you don't hurt others, that's enough."

"God gave you the freedom to live, and He doesn't need your faith, so why are you fighting each other over faith? You're even sisters!"

"As the elves who love life the most, we should respect each other's choices even more."

"The right to faith belongs to all living beings!"

Nian Nian paused, then repeated, "The right to faith belongs to all living beings!"

Mengmeng murmured, "The right to faith belongs to all living beings!"

The eyes of the other elves shone brightly, as if they had witnessed the greatest truth!

"You and she used to be friends, often picking fruit together. Why did you fight each other just because of your different beliefs?"

"She's your sister, so why are you living apart over such a small matter?"

"And you two, why do you hate each other? You both said you were best friends who could talk about anything when you were kids."

"·····"

Tang San asked each of the elves sitting around him, and before they could feel ashamed, he continued, "Great faith comes from within. There is no need to fight to persuade the other party. This forest is very rich in resources. Compared with the number of trees, the number of elves is not even a drop in the ocean. You don't need to worry about survival at all."

"Even if one of you convinces the other, what do you gain?"

"Is it a false sense of satisfaction?"

"That would only strain your relationship. Therefore, I think you can believe in King Easton, or you can believe in the Holy Angels, or you can believe in nothing at all. Just live your own lives well, and that will be enough."

"I think you, who love life, are an enlightened race, right?"

Mengmeng and Niannian nodded vigorously, saying in unison, "That's right, elves are an enlightened race and wouldn't have narrow-minded thoughts!"

Meanwhile, the ruler of the Eternal Realm, the Lord of Eternity, was somewhat disoriented after witnessing all of this.

He didn't understand what Tang San was doing.

Although the elf tribe led by Mengmeng and Niannian did achieve unity in their beliefs, was this unity of faith?

Something feels off.

Tang San slowly stood up and said to the two of them, "Now, let me introduce myself."

"By the way, I still don't know who you are? Why do you possess such a strong life force? For all elves, even the Moonlit Elves with their innate dark constitution, this is a fatal attraction." Mengmeng also came to her senses at this moment, curiously looking at Tang San, even swallowing her saliva, "I think I'm falling in love with you."

Niannian nodded: "Me too."

"Hmm?" X2

The two suddenly turned around, glared at each other, and neither was willing to give in.

In matters of love, they are bold and unrestrained. If they set their sights on someone, they will speak their mind without any pretense. Only the Moon Elf would lie about this.

"Don't fall in love with me. Besides, your love is too naive. We've only known each other for a few minutes." Tang San shook his head and chuckled, then introduced himself, "My name is Tang San. I come from Douluo Continent. I came to the Eternal Domain because I accepted the Creator God's test to become the true ruler of the Eternal Domain."

"Not a temporary replacement, but a replacement—"

"Eternal Lord!"

Mengmeng exclaimed in surprise, "So you are the next Creator God!"

Tang San laughed and said, "Don't say that. A god is just a powerful person. My test is to make the creatures of the Eternal Realm love their lives."

"Live for yourself, not for your faith."

"It is acceptable to have faith, but one should not force others to follow suit in order to have faith."

"This is what the Creator God expected!"

Lord of Eternity: [I have never looked forward to this much before...]
