Chapter 155 - Huaxia Gods Guard Huaxia (2/2)
“No, I finally understand,” Liu Shuai nodded, holding Nezha’s hands with admiration on his face. Xiao Hong also understood, and solemnly said, “Big Brother Ling Zhu Zi, Jiang Ziya is really the first person of Taigong in the ages. Hong Hai’er admires him!”
“What do you mean?” When Hao Ning saw Liu Shuai and Xiao Hong’s attitude, he asked, “Why do you admire a person who has been bewitched?”
“There are things which you don’t know.” Liu Shuai looked at Hao Ning. “Only mortal can seal the god and this person must have no selfish desire when he seals the god. If Jiang Ziya was bewitched and became evil, then his soul would inevitably become impure and malicious. At that time, he would not be qualified to seal the god, so the whole Sealing God Ceremony could not be completed. In that case, these evil gods would not be sealed.”
“Yes, Uncle Jiang was planning that.” Ne Zha nodded, with some sadness in his eyes. “Uncle Jiang was planning that even if he needed to sacrifice himself, or even all the gods in the war of Creation of Gods, he would not let these evil gods go to the real world!”
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to predict him with malice,” said Hao Ning. “As you said that Jiang Ziya sacrificed himself, I can understand that this is a person’s justice, but why did he not hesitate to sacrifice the gods who had fought along with him in the war to protect the real world?”
“I got it, and no wonder you thought so,” Xiao Hong answered with a nod. “As a man in the real world, you intuitively think that your own world is the most important. For your world, you can sacrifice other worlds ‒ so you would think that the gods of the world in the books have the same idea, but in the worlds like the Creation of Gods and the Journey to the West, that’s not the same case.”
“Why? For them,” Hao Ning disagreed with Xiao Hong and asked him, “is the real world more important than the world they live in? That is also a world. Who would they think that their own world is not as important as the world of others?
“Not the real world is more important, but the Huaxia civilization in the real world is more important.” Xiao Hong thought for a moment and said what Zhang Quan once said, “All the worlds created by people’s beliefs in these books are the beliefs come from the Huaxia civilization after all. It originated from Huaxia’s source ‒ ‘Celestial voices, gentleman renewing strengths’. Therefore, for any world created by the beliefs of Huaxia, they naturally know where they originate from, so they would rather sacrifice their own world than let the Huaxia civilization be destroyed! That’s the bottom line!”
“Hao Ning,” Liu Shuai understood Xiao Hong’s words, “so as Xiao Hong just said, in the May 4th Seal God event, Huaxia gods costed their own Nirvana, in exchange for the continuation of Huaxia civilization. I didn’t understand it just now. Now I think I can figure it out. The Huaxia gods and Huaxia descendants, after all, are the inheritance of the Huaxia civilization. In the past period, the moral degeneration of society was getting worse. Huaxia civilization encountered unprecedented disasters. From normal people to the upper class, all people’s beliefs were greatly impacted. How many people tried to totally deny the Huaxia civilization and westernize it? How many people insisted on their own opinions and tried to shut up their country? It is slightly lighter to say that the Huaxia civilization was suffering from disasters. Not to mention the Huaxia civilization, even the whole continent would soon become a dish for outsiders. If this came true, we might also ruin our own civilization, like the Republic of Asan.”
“For a nation, people can die and even country names can be changed, but if the civilization has been broken, even if the people in this place are still the same,” Zhou Yuan understood, and suddenly felt his throat went dry. Somehow his eyes were moist, “but with the absence of civilization and ancestral temples, would it be different from destroying our own world?”
“I see,” Hao Ning looked at Nezha and nodded. “It turns out that I misunderstood Jiang Ziya. But why would Jiang Ziya ask me to take him out after I entered the world of Creation of Gods?”
“Hao Ning, I suddenly realized something strange.” Liu Shuai seemed to find the problem at that time. “Every time you borrowed the power from books or used “Stellar Transposition”, you never entered the world in books. Only when you were using the power of the Creation of Gods, you entered the world of that book?”
“Hm? Wasn’t it because that the Creation of Gods is very special, or Jiang Ziya pulled me in with his power?” Hao Ning didn’t notice this detail. He was stunned when he heard Liu Shuai’s words, “I thought it was a normal phenomenon. Neither of you was surprised at that time, so I didn’t feel strange.”
“Come on, bro. Is your rigorous logical reasoning only used in the real world?” Liu Shuai could not help but roast, “If you told us earlier, we would have discussed these things long ago. No matter how powerful the Creation of Gods was or how powerful Jiang Ziya was, it was also limited by the boundaries of the word of Creation of Gods. How could you be pulled in? According to what you said, if I wrote a book at random in which the character can destroy the whole universe with one blow, would he be able to come out and destroy S city by himself? It’s impossible. There must be something wrong.”
Saying this, Liu Shuai could not help standing up and walking back and forth in the conference room with his head bowed. He whispered to himself, “But what went wrong?”
“Liu Shuai is right. We don’t have the ability to pull you in ‒ and we don’t even know how you got into the world of the Creation of Gods. But after you came in, the whole thing got out of control,” Nezha continued, ignoring Liu Shuai’s self-talk. “Uncle Jiang’s plan was that after he was bewitched, the world of Creation of Gods would become a world of evil gods who could not be sealed, but the real world was safe. But after you come in, the bewitched Uncle Jiang found that you were his chance.”
“What chance?” Hao Ning said in confusion, “As you said, Jiang Ziya had been bewitched. So even if he came to the real world with me, he would not be able to seal any god.”
“He can’t, but you can!” Liu Shuai patted his thigh. “It’s too dangerous. It’s too dangerous! Hao Ning, what other secrets are you keeping from us?” Said Liu Shuai and came up to choke Hao Ning.
