Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

After confirming the safety issues, Sun Lili took out an apple-like fruit from the fruit plate next to her, then focused her fingertip on a force field blade, peeling the apple while talking about her discovery.

"Big news!" Sun Lili blurted out, immediately grabbing the attention. "This church is preparing to create a god!"

"Huh?" Su Li's first reaction was, how could this be? But then she thought about it again, and realized that this "god" probably didn't refer to a true god like Old Deng, the pioneer, but rather to a deity in the local beliefs.

"As soon as I got there, I sensed several people with strong mental fluctuations talking in a room. So I opened a small portal and eavesdropped from a distance using my hearing."

"Perhaps this matter is not a big secret to their superiors, so these people are not adequately prepared to prevent eavesdropping. I heard it clearly."

“I’ve simplified it for you. What these priests mean is that they are performing a ritual, and so far the ritual has been very successful, and they will be able to create the gods before the Great Judgment Day.”

"When they create new gods, with the help of the old gods, they can separate certain divinity from the bodies of the old gods and then merge it with the new gods to form a new god belonging to the three-eyed people."

"If you can't defeat the enemy, creating an entity equal to them isn't a bad option when facing a desperate situation," Su Li commented, then asked, "Have you found out about the ritual for creating a god?"

“No, not at all. They know the whole story perfectly well themselves. There’s no need for them to go through the whole process like villains in an anime, just in case the viewers don’t understand.” Sun Lili shrugged. “After confirming that the ceremony was normal, they started discussing the Evangelistic Army.”

"Although the Evangelistic Army parted ways with them, they still maintained certain contact. Perhaps they had the idea of ​​not putting all their eggs in one basket."

"The fleet we destroyed earlier was a major force within the Evangelical Faction. This army only had 13 warships in total, and the one we destroyed was the second strongest fleet."

"They discovered that the fleet had not sent regular communications, and their own communications had gone unanswered. Considering the current strange situation, they were worried that something unusual had happened at sea that they were unaware of, so they began to discuss whether to speed up the ceremony."

"Then came the issues of resources, distribution of benefits, power struggles, and personnel transfers, which I won't go into detail about."

After sharing the intelligence she had gathered, Sun Lili divided the apple into six pieces and distributed them to her companions.

Zuli put the apple down first, then said, "Let me tell you about our findings."

Zuli recounted what she and Sophia had seen and heard in the arena, as well as the changes in the reef's pendant.

As she was talking, Sun Lili stopped what she was doing.

She stuffed the apple, core and all, into her mouth, chewed it twice, swallowed it, and then clapped her hands, shattering all the juice into powder. "Let me go check on the reef."

Sun Keke maintained the room while Su Li brought Sun Lili to the reef.

Sun Lili grabbed the pendant on Jiao's neck, her face darkening, and then pried open Jiao's eyes on his forehead.

Su Li then noticed that there were many bluish-purple blood vessels in the eyes of the reef.

Sun Lili let go of Su Li's hand and led her back into the room.

“This is troublesome.” Sun Lili’s first words were bad news. “Now I understand what the evil gods and the creation of gods in this world are all about.”

Su Li and the others' expressions turned serious.

"It is known that the three-eyed people in this world have gained the ability to communicate with others through their third eye, and they are able to share their joy and pain."

"This is a race that is extremely gifted in the realm of the mind."

"In the realm of the mind, the soul, thoughts, and desires all contain energy."

Sun Lili leaned against the wall, organizing her thoughts. "So, let's make an assumption. Suppose that one day, hundreds of millions of living beings are connected spiritually and emotionally. What would happen?"

Su Li's mind drifted to something less than pleasant.

Sun Lili saw Su Li's expression and nodded. "That's right. Given the productivity level of the three-eyed people in this world before the apocalypse, virtue is probably weak, and depravity is the mainstream."

“I had this idea before, but I wasn’t quite sure. Later, I saw those priests. They were very confident that they could create gods. Their discussion didn’t involve creating gods; they were just worried about how to operate the gods after they were created.”

"Isn't that strange? In our view, creating gods is actually the big problem, but in their view, it's something that's bound to succeed and doesn't need discussion. I guessed at the time, with such confidence, could it be that they succeeded before?"

"After seeing the pendant on the reef, I'm certain that they did succeed."

"The pendant from the reef is no ordinary object; it contains a great deal of fervent spiritual energy, all of which has a clear target—the so-called Holy Spirit. It is a collection and storage device for spiritual energy, and the technology is already mature."

"Let me share my guess. While I can't guarantee 100%, I'm confident it's about 90% accurate."

Sun Lili looked up at the ceiling and shared her guess, "In the future, with the development of technology, the three-eyed people's observation methods became more advanced, and they began to explore the power of their third eye. The progress in productivity led to a continuous increase in the world's population. Perhaps something like the Internet on Earth appeared."

"In short, the development of communication technology has made it easier for them to communicate. Population growth has enabled their empathy to connect with more people."

"Because of empathy, they are able to share their feelings. Even a penniless beggar can taste the most delicious food in the world if someone is willing to share with him."

"However, happiness quickly turns into decadence. Happiness has a threshold. When a person is not satisfied with simple happiness, and happens to have the resources, he will pursue a higher level of happiness. Then this happiness will be passed on to everyone else."

“If this is not stopped at this point, this race will soon sink into the abyss of pleasure and continue to fall.”

"At the same time, those who can produce higher levels of happiness will also become idols and be worshipped."

“Extreme hedonism developed without restraint, and decadent emotions settled in the hearts of the entire race. And idols provided a clear target for these emotions.”

“The mind and emotions inherently possess power in this world. This decadent emotion, once it has a clear carrier, gradually gives birth to a peculiar power.”

“After reaching a certain threshold,” Sun Lili said, looking at everyone.

Su Li finished what Sun Lili was about to say: "The evil god has descended!"
