Chapter 56: The Soul Born of Books
"Of course, it was born because of books. Cataria didn't hide too much this time, and replied directly: "Books have become the carrier of our stories, the more people who see us, the more people who know us, the more people who like us, then the more people will want us to always be real, so we really have zΓ i." β
"This way...... It seems familiar. Panismo rubbed his chin and groaned, "In addition to those ancient primordial gods, some regular gods seem to have been born in this way." β
"I didn't. Kateria squinted her eyes and smiled, her smile with the cunning and mystery peculiar to the clergy: "These are yours, how dare you say such things, this is disrespectful to the gods, and the heart is punished by God." β
"Hey, hey, it's too much. Pannis rolled his eyes with a headache and said, "How can anyone shirk responsibility like this." β
"Hee-hee, just kidding. Kateria pursed her lips and smiled happily: "However, this is indeed the reason for our birth, so although the form of our existence is different from that of the gods, from a certain point of view, we are actually more similar to some of the gods, but we are far weaker than the gods, because what gives us birth is not faith, but affirmation and wish, and the difference between the two is too great, so we cannot reach the height of the gods." β
"So that is, those of you who originally existed were reawakened by people's affirmation after death?" asked Pannis, who was a little puzzled, "This is already crossing the line between life and death." β
"You are wrong, we are not reawakened, and your hope is destined to be disappointed. Cateria shook her head and said: "We are not the person who once really existed, we are just based on that person, and the new existence that was reborn from people's affirmation has nothing to do with the prototype in essence." Therefore, it is impossible to use this method to awaken the person you want to awaken. Even if she wakes up, she is no longer her. And do you think it's easy? Do you find that no, every one of us is born in a book with a history of thousands of years, why do you think it is? is because our birth will take a long time to get to Β’βΒ’Β’βΒ’β,β m.β.cβomstyle_tt in addition to a large enough number of affirmations; Metamorphosis, in addition, there is a high probability of failure, that is. It also takes a certain amount of luck. β
"I'm not trying to reawaken anyone, I'm just curious. Pannis twisted his head and muttered awkwardly, but continued to ask: "However, when the elven priestess Lady Tifa met Vral before, she once gave her a string of numbers, and that is something that only the real Tifa knows, since he has that part of the memory, how can he not be the original person?"
"Even if she retains a unique memory. It's still not her anymore, because that's just the one who affirms us, 'thinks' that she should know about it, and she knows. People's will is actually very strong. Strong enough to create zΓ o out of thin air. "Like Diana, she remembers the face of her hometown, and remembers the names of every one of her immediate subordinates, but is that really her memory? It's just that people think she should know this, that's why she knows. But in the real world, do we really remember that? What is our true character? Is Isabella really soul devourer? Is the Blood Maiden really ate the flesh of her enemies? Is it true that I gave my life for the god of light without complaint? Including us. β
"That's very problematic. Pannis pondered and asked, "Based on your story or what people think you are, then you are what you are, right, but what if people have conflicting perceptions......? Forget it, such as Isabella, some people think that she was only smeared because of the political struggle, but some people think that maybe it is not smeared, but that she really eats souls, and there can't be two Isabellas. β
"Do you know how hard it took me to appease her and not let her come out and bite you?, why do you still use all kinds of methods to provoke others to beat you when talking about such serious things?" Well, those regular gods born because of people's beliefs also have the same problem, in fact, the answer is very simple, when we are born, there will be an automatic correction process for all cognitive contradictions, and the cognition of the majority will be taken as the truth, and the cognition of the minority will be automatically discarded. If there is not much difference between the perceptions of the two or several parties, and there is no one side with an absolute majority, then the laws of the world will choose one of them according to some kind of rule that mortals and even gods cannot understand, and thus lead to the birth of gods. β
"That's right. Pannis said, "Theoretically, the gods born from faith are indeed like this. β
"But we weren't so lucky. Kateria sighed and said, "The first part is that if there is a dominant cognition, we will be born like a god. But the second part, that is, if there is no dominant cognition, and when several cognitions contradict each other, heh, why do you think I just thought that our birth had a success rate? We are not gods after all, and the laws of the world will not compromise for us. β
"I'm sorry. Feeling Catrea's pity for those kinders who had disappeared before they appeared, Pannis could only express his comfort with an apology, Cateria smiled and shook her head, "It's nothing, I just think it's a pity." β
"So what if there are a few people who use you as the prototype to create different personalities and images at the same time?" As soon as Pannis asked, he patted his head with a wry smile and said, "It's really stupid, it must be the dominant one." β
"Oh, that's right. Kateria smiled and patted Pannis's head like a child: "A stupid boy indeed. β
"I have a question about your birth. The soul in front of him, who did not know how many thousand years old was treating himself in this way, could not refute it, and could only pretend that nothing had happened with a blank face, and changed the subject: "What if after you were born, people's perception of the carrier that carries you has changed?
