No strange things are allowed to evolve!

But for some reason, Jiang Shu gathered troops and used his divine power to forge weapons, yet he still had more divine power left than he had done nothing else.

This should never have happened.

Jiang Shu snorted coldly.

"That's why I say you're an evil god. Do you think everyone gains the loyalty of believers by exchanging divine power for benefits?"

My head was itchy, and I was startled.

What else can we do? Rely on personal charisma?

"To tell you the truth, I don't need divine power to gain followers. I rely on the connection between hearts. As long as I sincerely want what's best for my followers, they will feel my enthusiasm, respond to me, trust me, and follow me!"

This is pure nonsense...

My head was itchy and I simply couldn't believe it.

If you don't use divine power to prove yourself, only a fool would believe you're a mountain god, right?

And it was at this moment.

The people of Zhao Village, who had just crawled back from the brink of death, finally came to their senses.

Hearing their conversation, he finally understood what the evil god Jiang Shu was talking about was all about.

"It turns out that the god worshipped by the people of Wangzhuang was actually using divine power and benefits to bewitch them!"

"That's despicable!"

"That's why they were crushed by our righteous equipment!"

He frowned, his head itchy, and asked, "Then why do you believe in him?"

"Of course, it's because we can feel that the Mountain God truly cares for the good of Zhao Village. He has brought us unprecedented unity and a bright future, so we have no reason not to believe in him!"

He remained silent for a long time, his head itchy.

He automatically translated unprecedented unity into excluding dissidents and forming cliques, while the bright prospects automatically turned into empty promises and manipulation.

turn out to be...

Was the reason for my failure that I was too kind?

"But it still doesn't feel right." His head itched as he thought about it carefully, but then he frowned: "Although I expended some of my divine power, I used very little, and I only maintained the most basic expenses every day, so why am I so much worse off than you?"

"Expenses?" Jiang Shu asked, puzzled.

"Won't loyalty decrease, you bastard?!"

"I don't know." Jiang Shu shook his head: "I only know that my followers are very beautiful."

He paused, then continued, "And just this afternoon, all the villagers of Zhao Village have become my followers. I actually came here with the determination of a decisive battle, but I didn't expect..."

Jiang Shu looked at the ruins all around him and the few remaining villagers of Wangzhuang, and sighed deeply.

"Why are you still clearing land?"

Upon hearing this, her head itched and she stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

So what I consider my developmental stage is actually the other person's late-stage stage?

Just as he was in shock.

The sound of "loyalty" echoed across the mountains and fields.

Another group of people from Zhao Village arrived. In front of them were the people from Wang Village who had fled earlier and had just run into them. They were all driven back and looked like they had lost their parents.

"We're not running anymore! We're not running anymore! From now on, Wangzhuang belongs to the Zhao family! Stop fighting!"

It can be said that three blows shattered the soul of Wangzhuang; sir, I am a man from Zhaozhuang.

This is the true value of the Zhaozhuangmiaowadi transportation unit.

This also serves as the best evidence for what Jiang Shu said.

At this moment, Jiang Shu, in a truly chilling tone, said to the man with a complicated expression, "Head itchy."

"I could have played with you a little longer. Tonight's night raid was initially just an attempt to further squeeze your living space, but I didn't expect that I overestimated you. It turns out that your operations are so poor."

So, I'm not going to play house with you anymore. I've decided to end this as soon as possible and then go win my next game.

He shook his head:

"Gathering all divine power in your own hands, achieving great power at an extremely fast pace, and then crushing your opponents—that's how you've won before, isn't it?"

But how can God be considered God if there is no support and faith from believers?

From the moment you chose to believe only in yourself and were unwilling to share divine power with your believers, your failure was sealed.

A god who is separated from his believers will eventually be abandoned by his believers!

Upon hearing this, the person with the itchy head was first taken aback, then turned pale with shock.

"Are you fucking crazy?! It's just a competition, why are you making such a big deal out of it?! Don't let me lose my job!"

Having said that, knowing he had already lost to Jiang Shu, he immediately surrendered and hurriedly left the incubator without even saying goodbye.

"Huh? It got away?"

Jiang Shu was somewhat surprised.

Although the itchy head had consumed a lot of divine power, it wasn't entirely without the power to resist. Jiang Shu had originally thought there would be a battle to finish things off.

But unexpectedly, everything came to an abrupt end.

This gave him the illusion that his last words seemed to do more harm to his itchy head than all the advantages he had accumulated before.

Did I say anything that was taken too seriously...?

"No, really? That's strange..."

And then, after watching their god declare defeat, he vanish into thin air in front of everyone.

Whether they had already surrendered or not, the people of Wangzhuang were all stunned.

They felt that it all happened so suddenly, it was like a dream.

But soon, the shouts and cheers of the people of Zhao Village brought them back to reality.

Then, confusion and fear enveloped them, and they had no idea what the future held for them.

Conversely, the people of Zhao Village are the opposite.

The fact that their own mountain god had driven away the evil god not only signified the power of their mountain god, but also meant that from now on, no one could bully the people of Zhao Village.

They will become the dominant force in this area, and even Wangzhuang, which used to be their equal, will now contribute to Zhaozhuang's path to happiness.

"Lord Mountain God!"

The idea king dropped his gun and excitedly raised his arms, shouting:

"We won!"

Zhao Xiaojie even shed tears: "Although I don't know why things turned out this way, we won!"

The people from Zhao Village who arrived later kept calling out "Mountain God" while helping to treat the wounded or crowding around Jiang Shu.

But at this moment of universal celebration, Jiang Shu had a serious expression.

"Children, it's time for me to go."

Idea King's heart skipped a beat; all his joy vanished instantly, replaced by a sense of foreboding. He asked, filled with fear and unease, "Where...are you going?"

"I'm going to become the King of Resistance."

"What is 'opposing the King'?"

Jiang Shu did not explain, but said, "I said before that everything I did was for the sake of our Zhao Village. Now that the evil god has been driven away and the future of our Zhao Village has been laid out, it is time for us to say goodbye."

"Wait...wait a minute." Idea King felt something blocking his throat and said with difficulty, "Aren't you going to stay? Aren't you going to share the glory of victory with us?"

"No."

Jiang Shu shook his head:

"You earned your own glory. All I can do is protect you from beings that you cannot stop with your own strength."

"However, there are still many things we don't understand about the blueprints you've drawn up. If you leave..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Shu raised his hand to interrupt him.

“I am very grateful for your trust, so I hope you can understand that even if I am God, I am not necessarily right all the time. What you should do is learn and absorb the concepts and ideas I put forward, and then walk your own path, instead of blindly following them. Otherwise, you will never be able to grow.”

Jiang Shu said earnestly:

"From now on, I hope you will trust yourselves more than the gods. I entrust the future of Zhao Village to you."

But the idea king was still unwilling to give up and didn't want to see Jiang Shu leave like this.

Even so, we must continue to make offerings to you to repay your kindness!

Jiang Shu paused for a moment, looked up at the sky, and said with a melancholy yet earnest tone, "There's no need to worship me anymore. I've already demolished the mountain god temple."

"What?! Why?!"

"because..."

Jiang Shu sighed:

"This is a historical inevitability. Since industrialization has already begun in Zhaozhuang, it means that the world should enter a new era."

"A new...era?"

"That's right!"

Jiang Shu suddenly shouted:

"Welcome to the Renaissance! What you are about to awaken is the spirit of humanism!"

The core of humanism is to propose a human-centered rather than God-centered approach, affirming human value and dignity.

It advocates that the purpose of life is to pursue happiness in real life, promotes individual liberation, opposes ignorant and superstitious theological ideas, and believes that humans are the creators and masters of their own lives!

The idea king's eyes widened in surprise.

But I didn't understand a single word.

"But doesn't God really exist...? Aren't you...?"

"It will no longer exist."

Jiang Shu waved his hand:

"Well then, goodbye."

"Wait...wait a minute!"

The idea king's outstretched hand was ultimately a step too slow.

Jiang Shu disappeared before his eyes.

After a long pause, he withdrew his hand and looked down at his palm.

Are people the creators and masters of real life...?

......

Jiang Shu opened her eyes and saw Sebastian and Brother Bing with strange expressions.

He looked around: "Where's that bald guy?"

“He ran away as soon as he came out, as if he was afraid to face you,” Sebastian replied.

"What about my bet?" Jiang Shu frowned.

“You don’t need to worry about that. From the moment you left the incubator, your evolution points should have already been transferred to your account, and your points have also been synchronized,” Sebastian explained.

"That's good." Jiang Shu was finally relieved.

"Let's not talk about that now. You mean..." Brother Bing pursed his lips, "You've successfully convinced your followers that there is no God?"

Jiang Shu nodded.

"You're truly amazing..."

Jiang Shu shrugged: "There's nothing I can do. It's just a personal habit. Anyway, we've already won, so it's not bad to bring some advanced ideas to the natives in the incubator."

“But it’s a bit of a pity, young master.” Sebastian shook his head.
