Valkyrie Flavor Tasting Guide

Although the documentary was quite entertaining, I didn't learn much from it.

"Hmm, Sakura, what's wrong?"

Karen stood up and looked at Sakura, who was supporting her shoulder.

"There's nothing wrong with my posture while sitting, so my legs feel a bit weak after sitting for a while."

Chapter 134 Deceiving Karen into Studying Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism

"Ms. Karen, would it be convenient for us to speak privately?"

Seeing that Karen was getting sleepy, Lu Mo took a step forward and looked at her with a serious expression.

"?"

Mr. Lu Mo wouldn't be... confessing his feelings to me, would he?

Lu Mo and she didn't spend much time together.

Although Karen has a considerable amount of affection for Lu Mo, it is far from being enough to go beyond the level of "friends".

In just a few minutes, Karen had mentally prepared herself to reject Lu Mo.

Commonly known as giving someone a "nice guy" card.

"Well then, shall we all go our separate ways for now?" Yae Sakura wisely went off to explore the museum of the new era on her own.

It seems that modern people have developed quite a bit in recent years.

"Lixue, come for a walk with me."

Fu Hua hesitated for a moment, then decided she didn't dare to continue spending time with Lu Mo.

Who knows how much more her partner might abuse her?

Even the immortals of the Divine Land chose to avoid it at this time out of fear.

Fu Hua is now very clear—Lu Mo is a freak!

"Mr. Lu Mo, my feelings for you are actually..."

"Miss Karen, do you still believe in God?"

"?"

How awkward! Was he going to confess his feelings to me?!

Karen almost died on the spot.

I also think I'm a little narcissistic.

"Now that Kiana is the Goddess of Earth, do you still retain that piety?"

Lu Mo suppressed his admiration for Kallen and looked at her with a half-teasing smile.

"Of course I still believe in God."

"Kiana may be a god, but she is not... the god I believe in." Kallen's faith did not seem to have wavered.

"Rather than saying you believe in God, I think..."

Seeing Karen's reaction, Lu Mo decided to use a slightly unethical method.

Anyway, he's told so many hellish jokes in his life that he's not afraid of not getting into heaven.

"Before that, I'd like to introduce you to some of the beliefs in China!"

Lu Mo had no intention of attacking Su.

However, it must be admitted that due to differences in worldview, Su's portrayal of "Buddha" is of very low value.

"A belief that is somewhat related to destiny."

"A belief that there is no 'God,' or that there is no need to believe in God."

At this point, Lu Mo also felt a little strange.

I'm not a monk, but I know more about this stuff than a bunch of monks.

"A faith that does not believe in God?"

Karen can understand the existence of polytheism, and she can also understand the existence of atheism.

But this is the first time I've heard of a faith that doesn't believe in God.

Lu Mo continued to explain: "To put it this way, the god you believe in is not the same god they believe in."

"What kind of things need to be proven to exist?"

"I don't understand. You should let someone else do this. My ability to debate scriptures is very poor!"

"This isn't a debate. Only things that don't exist need to be proven. Because things that already exist won't disappear just because of debate, but things that don't exist need to be established to be real through debate. Is that right?"

Lu Mo began to patiently guide Karen.

"But I feel like something's not quite right... Although I don't know much about these things, the debates scholars have about the truth don't seem to fit your statement?"

"The theorems of science will not change. Truth or falsehood belong to the category of concepts. Through dialectics, you can determine the concept of truth or falsehood, but the corresponding truth itself is not necessarily absolutely related to cognitive judgment."

Very well, Karen can't understand anymore.

It's not her fault; even someone who loves learning might not have been able to understand it.

"So, the god they worship is also a concept?" Fortunately, Karen at least managed to glean something she could understand.

"You can say that."

"But you say that believers don't believe in this concept."

“This point is not something to be believed in,” Lu Mo said after a moment’s thought, continuing to explain to Karen.

"Based on what I said before, your beliefs and my beliefs differ because our understandings are different, and so are the core of our beliefs."

"Let's make a slightly bolder attempt," Lu Mo continued to entice Karen.

"Even if I believe in a God of destiny, my God is different from yours. So, to you, is my belief heretical?"

Karen fainted.

If Lu Mo and she believe in the same god.

If Lu Mo sincerely believes in God, then he is naturally not a heretic.

However, the god in Lu Mo's heart is different from the god she knows; that is heresy.

But to so hastily label someone as a heretic...

Karen suddenly recalled some dark historical records.

At the same time, it felt like I had grasped something.

"As I said, since we have different understandings of God, then the concept of God does not exist for each other. Does that mean that, as I said, we do not believe in God because of this way of thinking?"

“What is this faith? And this… this kind of thing is too bold for me.” Karen smiled wryly.

Lu Mo's words were so egregious that burning at the stake would have been the least of her worries in her time.

"Then let's continue,"

"When such people are about to be executed, if their resolve does not waver at the brink of death, it proves their faith. The so-called nothingness can then be interpreted in another way—omnipresent. In this vast world, no matter which direction you go, you can reach your faith."

"Wait a moment!"

Although Karen couldn't understand the reasoning behind Lu Mo's words, she could understand his meaning.

"Haven't you been urging me to live these past few days?"

"Why are you suddenly praising me for having the right idea to commit suicide?"

Karen didn't understand; Karen was deeply shocked.

Aren't you afraid I'll kill myself?

"Are these two things in conflict? I'm just presenting this from different perspectives."

What Lu Mo was about to do next was something Karen never expected.

"And Karen, haven't you noticed? Your beliefs actually perfectly match my description?"

"????"

Have I become a heretic?

Karen felt that Lu Mo's persuasive skills were somewhat frightening.

Even though she didn't understand, she still thought Lu Mo was right.

My own faith in God seems to be no different from the faith that Lu Mo talked about.

But different doctrines should interpret faith differently, right? Otherwise, why would there be heretics?

"Karen, you are a very interesting person."

"Despite feeling lost, I remain steadfast in my faith."

"So, I want to make a bet with you."

"Bet...bet on what?"

"I'm betting on faith!" Lu Mo made his most crucial and risky gamble. "In the time to come, I will continue to use the knowledge of China to answer your questions."

"And I bet you'll fall in love with me while you're in it!"

“This bet seems pointless,” Karen shook her head. “You seem to have some misunderstanding about me.”

"I don't think so." Lu Mo was about to say something when he was interrupted again.

“That’s not what I meant… Although I don’t reject Chinese culture, I am, after all, a nun.”

"Then please answer me, would your god be such a narrow-minded being?"

Even on its home planet Earth, that pigeon is indeed quite stingy.

But the one Karen believed in was clearly different.

"Is a god who gets angry if you learn the right thing in the wrong place, worthy of faith?"

Chapter 135 I, Kiana, will be Kiryu Sento today! (Part 1)

Meanwhile, Kiana made a rare trip to the prison.

I went to see two old acquaintances.

"It's been a long time, Cocolia, Natasha Ciora."

Kiana sat in the meeting room, looking at the two people who appeared much thinner than before.

"I didn't expect you to come all this way to see us."

Cocolia crossed her arms, and even after years in prison, her demeanor remained largely unchanged.

However, her expression was much gentler than the Cocolia that Kiana remembered from the past few years.

"We don't have much time to meet... Before that, I'd like to show you this."

Kiana took out a data report and waited for Cocolia's reaction.

"Because I told you about Siegfried's death, you became the Herrscher of the End, capable of destroying the world? Sirin is my daughter? What kind of mythical story is this?"

After quickly reviewing the information, only two words came to Cocolia's mind.

"Bullshit!"

The things recorded here are utter nonsense no matter how you look at them.

But Kiana wouldn't waste her time on something like that for no reason.

"It's not a world bubble, but a story that takes place in a world outside the Tree of Imaginary Numbers. No, it should be called history, or prototype, which is more appropriate."

"So?" Cocolia asked back, her tone not showing much impatience.

Is Kiana going to come after her for this? Siegfried is still alive. She won't take the blame for this; besides, the information says that fate was responsible for Siegfried's death.

Before I explain the cause and effect to you, let me ask you a question first.

"Do you want to change the fate of those who die because of you?" This is Kiana's true purpose.
