Chapter 440 The Collapse of Faith
The Jade Emperor pondered for about a second before saying, "No, let's see..."
He pointed his finger to the sky, and Yan Nishuang and the other gods followed the Jade Emperor's finger and were immediately startled, because the clouds in the sky dispersed, and everyone found that the moon was right above their heads, and it was more than a hundred times larger than it appeared in the real world.
"This...this...this doesn't make sense!" Ron stammered. He must have read some basic physics knowledge and knew that the distance between the Earth and the Moon follows the laws of physics. According to observations, the closest distance between the Earth and the Moon is 363 million kilometers, while the Roche limit between the Earth and the Moon is about 9500 kilometers. Under normal circumstances, the Moon cannot be that close to the ground.
"I heard that the moon itself is not a planet, but a spaceship from an alien civilization..." Eddie muttered, though he didn't seem to expect anyone else to believe him; it was just something he said casually.
"The ancient gods are insatiable and will surely return. I intend to establish a celestial palace on the moonship, recruiting extraordinary individuals to protect Earth and block all invading enemies. This will also resolve internal conflicts among Earth's races and prevent damage to the star soul," the Jade Emperor declared righteously.
"Wonderful!" Both the previous expert and the female expert exclaimed in unison.
The other, tallest deity, said, "Mortals, even with some extraordinary power, cannot survive on a moonship. How can they resist external enemies?"
The Jade Emperor waved his hand and said, "Why should I need their mortal bodies? I only need their souls!"
Upon hearing the words of the Jade Emperor, the gods fell silent. Yan Nishuang, Ron, and Eddie exchanged bewildered glances. It seemed that the Jade Emperor intended to kill all the extraordinary beings on Earth, and that their souls could be used by him to form a fighting force.
The top-ranked deity then said, "Brother Dao, you often say that education should be for all, regardless of background. While you are widely recruiting extraordinary individuals, you should also eliminate all kinds of demons and immortals..."
The fifth-ranked expert, who had remained silent until now, suddenly spoke up: "Heaven and earth are ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs; you should have no compassion!"
The female deity also said, "This is indeed the best method, and it can protect most of humanity..."
Upon hearing this, Yan Nishuang knew exactly what had happened. These five great gods were clearly the Jade Emperor, Nuwa, and the Three Pure Ones. What they were plotting was the "Investiture of the Gods" plan. Simply put, it was to instigate an internal war among humans, drag all the extraordinary beings on Earth into it, kill them all at once, and then absorb their souls into the "Heavenly Palace" on the moon to become weapons to resist external enemies.
Throughout the entire plan, all extraordinary individuals on the ground, whether born with divine strength, loyal or rebellious, good or evil, belonging to any faction or sect, or being disciples or offspring of any great god, are treated the same. As long as they possess even the slightest bit of extraordinary ability, they are "eliminated" without any regard for feelings.
Like watching a movie, this historical echo has unknowingly lasted for more than a decade. Two foreign children who had never read the Investiture of the Gods before thought that these great gods were going to form an assassin group to kill the extraordinary people on the ground one by one. However, they only realized in the end that this was a war of enormous scale in the human world. Almost all civilizations on the ground were involved. No small country, tribe, or village was spared. Thousands of extraordinary forces joined the war, fighting each other and displaying their supernatural powers. Countless people perished.
Before these extraordinary powers, the lives of ordinary soldiers are nothing but grass. In a small battle, several extraordinary individuals may perish, but they will be accompanied by hundreds or thousands of ordinary soldiers. The five great gods sitting on the clouds watch coldly, just as the saying goes: Heaven and Earth are ruthless, treating all things as straw dogs.
Are you saying these great gods were wrong? They weren't wrong. Their original intention was to protect the Star Soul and the Earth, while also removing beings with extraordinary powers, such as humans, gods, and demons, from human society, giving mortals a relatively fair world. You have to understand that if these extraordinary beings are allowed to continue to exist, humanity will eventually be reduced to inferior beings and slaves. From this perspective, this "Investiture of the Gods Plan" is necessary.
Do you think these powerful beings are righteous? After witnessing the entire process, Yan Nishuang can only say that there is absolutely no justice to speak of. In order to drag all the extraordinary beings into this mess, the powerful beings have taken countless "insidious" actions, spreading the flames of war to every corner of Earth's civilization. In this process, human lives are often directly ignored, and even their souls are despised by the Jade Emperor, ultimately becoming lonely ghosts.
"Is this what neutrality is?... " Yan Nishuang's expression was not good. It was precisely because she belonged to the good group in the neutral camp that she was even more confused and questioning after seeing the cruel scene on the ground. Just as her thoughts were in turmoil, a shadow gradually formed behind her, like a black fog that was about to surround her.
As Yan Nishuang was approached by the shadows, the protective effect she had cast on Eddie and Ron gradually dissipated. If Bai Lin were present, he would definitely be able to see that the three of them's SAN values were declining rapidly.
In the present world, Gracchus couldn't help but let out a cold laugh, much like a human's: "In the world of the one true god, how weak and helpless these lost sheep are... Question them! Question them! As long as you abandon your original allegiance, the one true god Hastur will accept you! Come! Follow in the shepherd's footsteps..."
In the other illusion, Catherine, Harry, and Hermione had already followed in Dante's footsteps and "tourized" most of Hell. Of course, the process was all about killing anyone who got in their way and vanquishing any monster that stood in their way. Dante's fighting power was simply incredible. No matter how terrifying and powerful the various demons and monsters in Hell were, in front of him, it was just a matter of whether they died horizontally or vertically.
But Catherine and her companions' attention was no longer on Dante's rampage, but rather on the devastation of Hell caused by lust, gluttony, greed, wrath, and cult worship. Dante faced trials for the eight sins: fraud, betrayal, and treachery. During these trials, he encountered many familiar faces, met his father, and learned the reason for his mother's suicide. Catherine even found her deceased ancestors, all of whom were suffering endless torment for the sins they had committed in their lives.
It is worth mentioning that in the seventh circle of Hell, they saw many corrupt officials, including officers from the Crusaders and the Holy Crusaders. They did not receive any so-called "forgiveness and redemption". Even more outrageous, they saw the previous pope in the eighth circle.
As the hellish scenes unfolded, their belief in order gradually crumbled within them. Catherine's golden wings dimmed, and her ability to protect Harry and Hermione's souls diminished.
