I was a charlatan in India

"Great Heaven! I will now cultivate even more diligently and show you!"

Agni's gaze was fervent, filled with the madness of a martyr!

Those who frequently become gods know that you should never pay attention to people who look seriously ill, no matter how miserable they look, you should stay far away from them.

Because you never know what kind of cunning schemes they're harboring, or how much trouble they might cause.

But Shenhe clearly didn't grasp this principle in time.

The instant he responded to Agni, he and the madman became in the same boat.

If that old man were to strike with his knife, Shenhe would probably be buried with him!

"Agni, that's enough!"

Shenhe's voice rang directly in the old man's mind.

In his panic, he even learned to speak like the Hindu gods!

"Great Heaven! Is that you, Great Heaven!"

Agni looked excited, but he never put down the knife in his hand.

Of course, this was not intended to threaten the heavens.

In fact, most people have no idea that the blessing system has such serious flaws.

He simply felt that since he had decided to commit seppuku, he had to go through with it.

Otherwise, one's heart is not sincere.

I am the most devout believer of the Great Heaven, a man destined to be the Father of the Great Heaven, how could I possibly have the slightest flaw!

We have to stab them!

Thinking of this, Agni raised his knife once more!

"stop!"

"Agini, my devout follower!"

"What you should do most right now is communicate with me and learn to prioritize!"

Shenhe quickly spoke up to stop him.

Devotion!

Oh! Heaven says I am devout!

Agni was overjoyed.

My decades of arduous cultivation have finally paid off; I have been recognized by the heavens!

Good heavens!

Bless me!

Let me be your dad!

His gaze was fervent as he stared intently at the mud balls clinging to the Shen River.

This thing is called "linga" locally, symbolizing Shiva's fertility divinity.

Its structure is very simple.

Simply find some clay, shape it into an oval, press it onto a square base, and then carve out the crown groove; this will make a qualified linga.

That's right, it's that 18-centimeter design.

Because of its low production cost, more and more people are becoming believers in Shiva, and there is even a saying that lingams are everywhere.

Wearing this kind of thing is a bit...

Of course, now is not the time to worry about appearances; comforting the old man is the most urgent thing.

Glancing at the cold glint in the other person's hand, Shenhe's heart leaped into his throat.

He felt that the broken knife was quite unsafe.

Who knows, even without the old man exerting any force, it might break off on its own and take him with it.

Shenhe quickly spoke up.

"Agni, state your request."

Regardless, first try to stay on the other person's line of thought and see if you can guide them to change their mind.

Although Shenhe already knew the old man's request, he still decided to let him say it himself.

This might help the other party gradually relax.

At least the heavens are willing to listen to you, isn't that a good thing?

Calm down, calm down.

The old man still didn't adjust his posture.

Seeing that the other party was still holding the file knife and looked like he was about to be killed at the slightest disagreement, Shenhe was quite helpless.

No, are all Indians this brave?

"Great Heavens!"

Agni exclaimed excitedly, "Please allow me to be your father, so that you may be even more complete!"

He didn't seem to think his request was excessive at all; on the contrary, he had an expression that suggested he was waiting for praise.

Clearly, in his mind, his actions were absolutely correct!

Yes, Agni really thought so.

In his mind, he had gone through countless hardships to complete his arduous cultivation and offer up a father to the heavens!

What piety, what glory!

"……I see."

Shenhe did not refuse immediately.

To persuade someone, you must first show agreement and listen; otherwise, even if they have a lot to say, they won't listen to anything.

He carefully chose his words, trying to make himself sound as divine as possible.

"Agni, answer me, why do you think the heavens need a father?"

Water has its source and trees have their roots. Shenhe planned to listen to the other party's logic first, to see how this idea came about, and then offer his advice accordingly.

Maybe the other party just wants to beat up the Heavenly Emperor. In that case, we can investigate whether we can give him power.

Why can't you die in the daytime, and why can't you die in the night...?

Then play word games to kill him.

Indian traditional virtues emphasize rigor.

But Agni clearly didn't intend to follow his usual approach.

"Because you deserve everything!"

The old man spoke as if it were perfectly natural.

"You are perfect and omnipotent. Since I have any thoughts about you, they must be correct!"

"Otherwise, I wouldn't even have had such a thought!"

"Great Heaven! You have bestowed upon me this mission! You have guided me to become your father!"

Agni spoke with righteous indignation.

Shenhe felt a series of headaches.

Damn it, this old man's logic is different from that of normal humans.

The communication process that works for me with ordinary people may not work for him.

As Agni's knife twitched again, Shenhe's heart skipped a beat.

Actually, it's not that Agni is evil; it's just how Indian culture is.

From a young age, they are taught that "if you have any thoughts, it must be God's arrangement."

Therefore, in the local view, if I had a thought, I had to obey it, otherwise it would be considered disobeying the gods.

This way of thinking is so deeply ingrained that it even overrides right and wrong to some extent.

For example, the high number of rapes in the area is not entirely due to hunger and evil; it is closely related to this ideology.

I am an animal under the command of the Great Heaven!

What's wrong with animals wanting to reproduce?

That's perfectly normal!

The idea that you have is a divine guidance; you should feel honored!

on!

Even without humans, they can find pigs, cows, sheep, and even taxi exhaust pipes.

This is a kind of piety, an obedience to the command of Heaven, and something to be proud of.

This kind of piety allows them to numb themselves, feel at ease, and experience pleasure!

Of course, when a few people without connections are caught and beaten to death, they will curse and swear, or even wet their pants in fear.

Look, this is a manifestation of piety.

If you are not devout, it's no wonder that Heaven doesn't protect you.

It wouldn't be unjust to beat you to death.

So although it seems absurd, the old man's unwavering faith is truly admirable.

It is not Agni who needs to change his mindset, but Shenhe.

The good news is that he quickly understood the other party's logic.

You can't help but understand, after all, they were able to lose both their child and their unborn child.

Moreover, this logic isn't too hard to fathom; some of the abstract clients we encounter in our daily work are not as good as this old Indian man.

Thoughts are divine will.

Shenhe quickly grasped the underlying logic behind the devastation that ravaged India and caused countless tragedies.

Arguing with him is useless; you can only go along with him and find opportunities to twist his thoughts.

In his world, the very thought of wanting to be Shiva's father was a sacred mission bestowed upon him by the heavens!

However, the energy of the Shenhe River was simply insufficient to fulfill this outrageous demand.

Only by creating a new dream for him can we get rid of the threat of traveling together!

"So, Agni, what qualities do you think the father of the Triad should possess?"

hum.

Shenhe sneered inwardly.

Don't you respect the heavens?

Don't you worship the heavens?

You can't exactly say that Da Tian's father is a slovenly old man, can you? Even if you want to be Da Tian's father, you still have to become a better person, right?

Let's change our demands: money, power, and health!

You need to become more down-to-earth, my friend!

There are so many things in the world to pursue, why do you have to be my father?

Pshaw, pshaw, pshaw, be the father of the heavens!

And could you please put that broken knife down?! What if it falls and hurts someone? Who's responsible then?

It's very difficult for me to have a calm and peaceful conversation with you like this!

Unexpectedly, Agni's reaction made Shenhe's head buzz again.
