Chapter 9: Will you join my order?
"The essence of Israel's legendary power is 'will actualization'. Well, it's an interesting power. β
"His life, his existence, his faith, his soul, everything is condensed, and as long as he knows that he will never die, then he will not die."
"You have to beat him in a head-to-head fight and make him feel like 'he should be hurt' so he gets hurt and make him feel like 'he should die' and he will die."
"If you attack him without him knowing, it is useless, he does not know your attack, and your attack does not exist for him...... This is a relative force, and he can't sneak up on others, because if others don't notice his attack, his attack doesn't exist. β
"In the same way, because of this power, Israel has lost the right to deceive himself, he is the most honest and just person in the world, even if he treats himself equally, even in the face of death. At the same time, as a legendary powerhouse and emperor, he is the most powerful power in the world - because of this similarity and resonance, Xingzheng will go to Israel, hoping that the other party will become his successor. β
The god of love stands in the middle of the street.
He calmly recounts Israel's relationship with Xingzheng, and tells Joshua and Eagle why they came to an agreement on the lineage.
"Israel has reached the limits of humanity β himself. He knew that he was only a human being, and he could not deceive himself into being able to resist the evil gods, nor could he feel that he 'should' be able to defeat the evil gods, and reason told him that he could not be limited by human identity, and that becoming a god was the best and fastest way for him to become stronger, and that the things that he 'should be able to do' would increase exponentially. β
On the other side of the street, is Joshua.
Old Pope Eagle had already sat on the chair of the stall next to him, and he knew that this time the joy had come because of the presence of the warriors.
"Then why did His Majesty Xingzheng ask me to communicate alone?"
Knowing the connection behind things, after Joshua understood the logic of the events at that time, he couldn't help but have even greater doubts: "Since I am not the heir in his mind in the first place, and he has already found his heir, why do I care so much, have I found my own order?" β
"In the same way, Your Majesty, although you said that you came to Moldavia to tell us the information of the 'lowest part of the abyss', I can see that you have come here to observe whether I have found my own order."
Why do you care so much about this?
This is something that Joshua cannot understand now. He knew that there was a deep contradiction between the seven gods because of the different orders, and this contradiction was explained in popular terms, that is, the battle of the gods on the avenue, but this contradiction was only limited to the gods, what does it have to do with them ordinary people?
Even if you are looking for allies, you should be looking for an existence similar to your own order, just as Xingzheng found Israel...... The god of power is barely similar to Joshua, at least both believe that great power is the foundation of order, and the god of love and decay...... What is it that is similar to yourself?
"You think that I am too different from you, not only are they not similar, but they are not even compatible at all, right?"
Needless to say, Joy could see his thoughts just by looking at the warrior's eyes, and a smile appeared on the face of the god of love, but this smile turned into a sigh: "But Radcliffe, you are wrong. β
"The similarity between us is far greater than the punishment with you."
"Love and death, I may have something to do with death, I am indeed better at sending enemies to hell."
In this regard, Joshua shook his head honestly and said: "But in other aspects, I don't think there is really any connection, there may be a place for love in my heart in the future, but now, I just want to destroy the enemy as much as possible." β
"Radcliffe, your views are so biased...... How can order be so simple? It is the cornerstone of society, the core of civilization, it exists, and will always exist, from time immemorial to the eternal future. β
Shaking his head, denying Joshua's point of light, the god of love and decay walked slowly in the direction where the warrior was, and said in a calm and calm tone, "My love is not love. 'Love' is not such a superficial thing. β
"Radcliffe, 'love' is everything, it is the cornerstone of all things, the foundation of civilization and order."
"Love is the reason and passion for the existence of all living beings in the world."
"What you like, what you love, what you pursue, what you want to protect, these are all love, all of which are 'love' that is immersed in silence, inconspicuous, imperceptible, as silent as death, and maintains the motivation for you and me to 'live'."
The goddess, who had the appearance of an elf, came to Joshua's side.
There were no spectacular special effects, no falling flowers, no amazing visions, nothing, Joy and Sorrow walked like a mortal, like a mortal, and like that, he raised his head ordinarily, looked at Joshua who was frowning, and then spoke, whispering: "'Love' is the pillar of existence, the origin of order, and the will that cannot be erased by death. β
"Radcliffe, just as you love to fight, all living beings live and exist because of loveβeverything that man admits to comes about because of love, whether it's the birth of a newborn or a new invention of technology, it never happens without a glimmer of love from the hearts of parents and technicians."
"Love is order."
As she said this, Yue Wai closed her eyes and let out a clear laugh, and the goddess's somewhat hoarse voice fluttered in the wind.
"And to lose love is to die. If love is the origin of order, then death is the end of everything. The cycle of love and death is the life of human beings. β
"Radcliffe, you love the world so much, how can you say that you are not like me?"
The god of love and decay revealed his order to Joshua van Radcliffe.
The god's violet pupils stared at the black-haired warrior in front of him, patiently awaiting his answer.
"You're right."
At the same time, Joshua let out a breath.
He confessed that His Majesty's love and death were indeed very similar to his.
Yes, it is true, his faith is so existent, he loves to fight, to exist, to live, until his own death. If there is a day when Joshua van Radcliffe is not in love with fighting, then it is indeed the day he dies.
If people don't work hard for what they love, but just spend their lives at a loss, not knowing what they are pursuing, then what is the difference between death and death? Love and death may seem unrelated, but they are one of the most intimate relationships in the world.
Just like might and justice, the order of the gods does have their underlying logic.
It's just that that's not enough.
In the city of Moldavia, on the streets frozen in time, Joshua raised his head and looked at the god of love for the second time, he understood the order of the other party, just as he understood the order of punishment before, but he didn't care how similar this order was to himself, he just wanted to know what kind of 'civilization and world' the other party was seeking.
"Your Majesty, I know that what Your Majesty is pursuing is a world in which power proves 'justice'."
Joshua raised his head and looked at the sky that was also violet solidified by divine power, he lowered his gaze and said calmly: "Just like Israel, what he wants is an orderly world completely shrouded in the 'Skynet system', where the strong hold 'justice' and 'power' and judge all the evils that occur in the world, extreme authoritarianism. He and Israel are completely the same kind of people, which is why he does not hesitate to choose each other as his heir. β
"I will not support this dystopian order, only vigilant surveillance...... Therefore, even if His Majesty is convinced of me, I will not support Him. β
"And you? You have come to me, Your Majesty, because I will support your orderβI confess that the way of order you speak of is very similar to mine, but even so, I want to know what the 'civilization and the world' you are looking for. β
Joshua has never been a fool who doesn't think.
He has his own logic and rebellion in his heart, and his own justice and love in his heart.
The idea depicted by Xingzheng and Yue Wai is indeed beautiful, but it is only the idea of others, who wants him to help, as a member of civilization, Joshua is not responsible, but if he wants his support, then even God must give a reason that can convince him.
In this regard, the god of love and decay is not surprising. He blinked and smiled faintly, "Naturally, I was prepared. β
After speaking, Yue Wai raised her hand, and a blue-purple light containing countless information galloped towards the warrior.
On the other side, Joshua, who was standing like an iron tower, also raised his hand and took the light.
Then he knew the world that the god of love and decay wanted.
It is a world where any being can freely choose 'to love or not to love'.
- Any emotion, whether it is liking, disgusting, loving, resentful, comes from the judgment of the brain, the thinking organ, the core center. It's affected by hormones and is essentially just a complex form of neurofeedback.
A person's aversion to reading, to work, to communicating with others, and to everything in the world is because his brain secretes technology that makes him disgusted with all things, making him decadent and autistic, unwilling to communicate with the outside world, and preferring to shrink into his own small world.
Even if you like something, human beings can't put 100% of their energy into it, people will always be distracted, distracted, and feel tired, and need to do something else to change their mood.
This is the limit of mortals, and it is the limit of love. The prosperity and progress of civilization should be removed because this instinct is hindered, and it can be removed.
The god of love and decay will descend his own divine power, so that all living beings will have the ability to control their own 'love and hate'.
People who don't like to read can adjust their mood and make themselves fall in love with learning.
People who are disgusted with their parents because of adolescent rebellion can also adjust their radical form and communicate with their parents from a rational and objective perspective.
People who are disgusted with work can also fix their boredom and make themselves as enthusiastic and hopeful as they were on the first day of work.
Of course, if you can love, you can naturally hate.
Those who have become addicted to drugs by accident will have a chance to regain their lives, and they will be able to correct the wrong 'love' in their minds and thus free themselves from this mistake.
People who are so fanatical about something that their lives are affected can also curb their crazy 'love' a little bit through self-reflection and return to a more normal life.
As long as you are willing to repent, then even the worst of the wicked people can reform themselves, and through self-adjustment, they can become good people who love society and are willing to contribute.
Love and hate have always been one, and the two cannot be separated, just like life and death, it is precisely because of each other that you have yourself.
Being able to choose a life of self-love and hate with one's own will is the real free life. Fat people know that they should lose weight, otherwise excess fat and weight will lead to unstoppable pain in the future, but the instinct to eat and the mind of laziness make them unable to adhere to the exercise of weight loss diet, but if the fat person has the ability to control their love and hate, then even if the instinct is reluctant, they will choose to let themselves go to healthy exercise with their own will.
This is just one aspect of life, the ability to control self-love and hate, it can be said to be the ability to change the foundation of human beings, the desire to urge human beings to move forward, if you can freely control the direction through the switch, then the speed of human progress will undoubtedly far exceed the imagination of everyone in the past thousands of years.
The god of love and decay, looking forward to such a world.
He expects that people will be free to choose what to love and how to love, or they will be free to choose to dislike and choose to banish bad habits and bad things from their lives.
- Compared with black power and justice, violet love is the path to order and happiness, and to reject any sorrow.
"Man can choose by himself, modify himself, and decide the path of his own freedom with his own free will."
The god of love, the god of love and decay, Yue Wai stood quietly in front of Joshua, the slender elf body was so tall at this moment, like a whole world, the gods at this moment, without any reservations, showed their will and the future they wanted to reach.
He asked in a low voice, expectantly, "Joshua van Radcliffe, will you join my order?" β
