Chapter 64 A Pleasant Conversation
What does it mean to provide the concept of being human?
What does it mean that you want to be my follower?
Ai looked at the smiling Wheel of Life in front of her, trying to tell from its tone whether it was joking.
But the other person's demeanor didn't seem like they were joking at all.
Ai couldn't help but speak up: "Lady of Life, you want to be my follower? Do you know the current state of humanity? And you are a powerful deity, how can you so rashly say you want to be my follower..."
【Wheel of Life】A pair of dark eyes stared straight at Ai, her tone gentle and devoid of any emotion, "It is precisely because I know this that I have made this decision! You cannot remain at the level of a weak god forever. As His successor, you will eventually return to that position."
However, as things stand, although you are very powerful, you are ultimately a weak god.
You still need my help, and I need to get something from you... You have no reason to refuse now!
The words of the Wheel of Life silenced Ai. If He truly was the successor to the God of Light, He would surely accept it gladly.
After all, having an additional powerful henchman means that the God of Light's path back to great divine power is almost guaranteed, if not smooth sailing.
The problem is that Ai is not the true God of Light, and what he truly desires is not to become a powerful god as the God of Light, but to achieve resurrection as the Gluttonous Dragon.
Ai Yi could never allow the other party to become her follower, because that would expose too much about herself.
Finally, Ai met the gaze of the Wheel of Life and gave a perfectly reasonable explanation.
Sorry, I don't trust you!
"..."
This time, it was the Wheel of Life's turn to fall silent.
He closed his mouth and stopped speaking. A faint fragrance reappeared, and a gentle voice resurfaced in Ai's mind, carrying a hint of bitterness and guilt.
"I'm sorry, I was being presumptuous!"
In the eyes of the Wheel of Life, Ai, as the successor to the God of Light, has far too many reasons not to trust herself.
At least, when humanity was shattered by the fall of the Throne of Light, the Wheel of Life did not step in to help them.
Although the entire ant race was in great danger at the time due to the sharp drop in magic power in the world of Errol, it still had some power left to protect humanity if it wanted to.
Ai didn't respond to the Wheel of Life's question, but instead started a new topic, asking, "Lady of Life, I'd like to ask, what is the concept of 'being human'?"
Upon hearing Ai's question, the Wheel of Life was slightly taken aback, but it quickly understood: "When a being truly becomes the chief god of a race, it automatically grasps the 'life concept,' or rather, the life blueprint, of its own people."
Through this life blueprint, the main god can modify the existence of his own race to a certain extent, either by enhancing his perception of magic or by improving the overall intelligence level of the race.
However, this modification requires the main god to pay a huge price, and the overall strength of the race will be limited to a certain value, achieving dynamic balance as various characteristics change.
For example, if you have a long lifespan, you cannot have strong reproductive abilities. Or, if you have a powerful physique, your perception of magic will certainly be diminished.
Oh, each race has fixed base stats. If one stat is too high, the other stat will definitely be too low.
Ai nodded thoughtfully, then asked with some curiosity, "So, the division into Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Iron races is actually based on the strength of the entire race's racial stats?"
"Racial stats..."
A faint fragrance emerges, carrying a hint of dryness and melancholy.
"You could say that. It's been a long time since I've heard that. You really are His successor!"
The information contained in this pheromone further confirms the stance of the Wheel of Life; He is indeed on the side of the Throne of Light, and the Throne of Light may even be a fellow countryman.
After all, Ai knew from the [Time and Space Dominator] that the Gluttonous Dragon did not come from Earth.
Furthermore, considering that the Wheel of Life was "given" to him by the Time-Space Ruler, it can be inferred that the Wheel of Life might know of the existence of Earth...
No, when I met the Time-Space Ruler, the Gluttonous Dragon's power almost went berserk.
If the [Time and Space Dominator] was indeed given to me by the [Wheel of Life], then did the other party discover my true identity?
No, some things seem perfectly clear, but suddenly a single thought can make them incredibly chaotic.
Ai Yi remained silent, while the Wheel of Life shook its head slightly.
The strange aroma suddenly changed, becoming sweet and encouraging.
"Although you are nominally the chief god of mankind, you are actually only the object of faith for a very small number of people. You cannot be considered the true chief god of mankind, so it is normal that you cannot grasp the blueprint of mankind's 'life'."
Clearly, the Wheel of Life believed that Ai's silence was due to the life blueprint.
And Ai, of course, couldn't possibly explain...
Then, the two gods sat in the conference room behind the Supreme Temple and chatted idly.
One is trying to build goodwill and make themselves trustworthy in the future.
One of them continuously increases their understanding of the world and of that predecessor from a thousand years ago through communication with the other.
Just as the two gods of different races were getting along surprisingly well, the situation in the mortal world was also developing rapidly.
When Ai was kicked out of the world of Eror, the orcs of Sogoria basically surrendered. After all, even the most devout believers would have their hearts shattered if they watched helplessly as their ten gods were easily killed by human gods.
Faced with surrendered enemies, the players originally intended to eliminate them completely and transform the cold orcs into warm experience.
However, as a player living in the great Celestial Empire in the mid-21st century with twelve years of compulsory education, it was difficult to take action against the orcs who had given up resistance due to their shattered faith and were left to be slaughtered by humans.
It was at this time that some "moral" players realized that if they continued to slaughter orcs in this highly realistic game world, wouldn't they also become those evil invaders who kill without hesitation?
So they joined forces and called on players to treat prisoners of war well and not to slaughter orcs indiscriminately, otherwise what would be the difference between humans and orcs?
They morally blackmailed a large number of players and human NPCs, advocating that humans should learn to treat and accept orcs kindly, and not treat humans the way orcs treat humans, but should learn to repay evil with kindness and influence orcs.
Young Caesar didn't understand those bullshit morals; he just wanted to know why!
Why are those orcs allowed to survive?!
Ignoring his injuries, he found Hua Kai Fugui and questioned him, "Hero, why, why should we let those orcs go? They killed so many of us and oppressed us for thousands of years, why should we let them go? Why should we live in peace with them?"
