Chapter 147: Gods

Were there really Gods in this world?

Patelocke hadn’t expected Su Chen to ask such a question and was immediately taken aback

After a do to answer this exact question”

“And their answer?”

“We eventually concluded that the Forerunners were ‘Gods’”

“The Forerunners were Gods?” Su Chen repeated questioningly

The Forerunners were supposedly the first creatures to ever appear on the Primordial Continent And because they were born from the will of the Heavens, they were incredibly powerful

They were also the first to disappear

After the Forerunners caned over the continent for a long period of ti with each other for sole doreat of a stretch to call the Forerunners Gods

However, that still left a few questions unanswered

As Su Chen’s consciousness crystal made rapid calculations, Su Chen said, “I have a few suspicions”

“Speak”

“The Forerunners existed in a time period that was too far in the past Even if they disappeared, it would y Where could they have possibly gone into hibernation to still be alive? That’sthe Forerunners’ rule, even Origin Beasts didn’t dare lift their heads, let alone the five Intelligent Races We don’t even know if the Intelligent Races were around back then So ould these Gods visit the Intelligent Races, and ould one of them become the Goddess of the Harpies? That’s my second question Anda God anyways?”

Patelocke doht of countless possibilities and made many different conjectures Actually, I personally came up with a hypothesis that can answer all of your questions quite well”

“Oh? Tell me about it”

“Let’s assume that the Forerunners are in fact Gods It follows then that the only reason they would becoent Race is ives them some kind of benefit”

“What kind of benefit?”

“Didn’t you ask me how they could survive to this day?”

Su Chen was stunned “You’re saying that……”

“I’,” Patelocke interrupted “I don’t know the answer, and I have no idea why Gods would become so weak as to need the faith of commoners to survive But if the Forerunners really are Gods, then any suspicions are actually answers When you string all of these questions together, then even the most impossible possibility can become the most likely one”

“Then why don’t humans have their own Gods?” Su Chen asked

“The Harpies have a God because their God answered them The humans have no God because no God bothered to pay any attention to the huhtforwardly

When Su Chen heard this, he fell deep into thought

But for soar that had swapped out his eyes

After a ht, Su Chen said, “Perhaps they did pay attention to humans, but the humans merely never noticed”

“Never noticed?” This time, Patelocke was the one as confused “What do you mean?”

Su Chen shook his head “I can’t really explain either But when I was trying to steal the Divine Feather, I felt a tangible threat wash over me — the power of a God That kind of power is impossible to describe or resist What do you think happened afterwards?”

“What happened?”

“I smashed the statue of the deity apart withup with Su Chen’s train of thought, so he was co toSu Chen continued to say, “We aren’t Gods, so we can’t guess at what they think or what they want But I can confirs First, I personally witnessed and sensed divine power myself Second, they are somehow limited when they act”

“Gods are limited……” Patelocke muttered

“What can limit a God?” He didn’t understand

“I don’t know” Su Chen shook his head “Perhaps an even stronger God, like a God-king, or so else Or maybe…… Method Power? The Will of the Heavens?”

Su Chen didn’t know the answer

However, he did know that the world in front of hiined

This realization her and higher, he was consequently able to see further and further The fundamental truths of the world had also become clearer as a result

This didn’t make him afraid, but rather excited

This was the attitude of a true scientist

Those who liked to rely on others would create a God to worshi+p even if no God existed

Those who liked to challenge others would try and research Gods even if they did exist

Su Chen obviously fell into the latter group

Whether this world had Gods or not wasn’t actually that important No matter hoerful they were, no ambitious person would bon and worshi+p a God

So what if you were a God?

I have my own life and my own decisions to make

Su Chen was exactly this kind of person The only reason he was even interested in Gods in the first place was because he wanted to figure out how to close the distance or even surpass them

Patelocke had no idea about the “blaspheh Su Chen’s mind as he continued to seriously explain, “Your words o into hibernation if they absolutely had to do so Just because they are strong doesn’t necessarilyto the Intelligent Races froreed with conviction

The two of thereed on that subject
