Boiling Beast Bloodline-Chapter 1326 - 372: Slaying God? {Middle}

"Even if the gods really are using us as pawns in their game, what does it matter? As long as we’ve lived once true to our nature, whether we live or die is immaterial!" Andulan’s elder chuckled. "Look at the teachings of the major religions—doesn’t each one advocate for goodness? Although there are a few evil deities, they are extremely rare! If gods really do exist, I think most of them undoubtedly possess kind hearts. So, there is no real need to investigate if they exist or not!"

"You have experienced much more than I have, and with your wisdom, is it possible for gods to come into this world?" Richard asked in another way.

"Richard, remember the most basic principle of spatial knowledge, this is also the natural law summed up and explored by generations of human Mages!" Damai’s elder laughed. "Our world is always a balanced world!"

"A balanced world? What do you mean?" Richard was confused.

"Have you ever seen ants?"

"Yes."

"An ant society is the most orderly, with clear divisions of labor and responsibilities. Broadly speaking, our world is no different from an anthill. You, Richard, are comparatively a stronger ant, while I am a weaker one!" Andulan’s elder sighed. "If gods really exist, then we might as well imagine them as Giant mountain creatures, imposing and powerful!"

"Heh... why not imagine gods as Giant Dragons?" Richard joked with a smirk.

"It doesn’t matter, you can also think of them as Giant Dragons if you wish; it makes no difference!" The elder laughed heartily. "A Giant Dragon destroying an anthill—would you say that’s easy?"

"Easy!"

"If gods do exist, even the weakest of them could easily destroy our world, just like a mischievous child wrecking an anthill!" Andulan’s elder laughed heartily again. "But then, destroying our world, they would also be devoid of purpose."

"What about the Mages’ view of a balanced world?" Richard became more bewildered as he listened.

"The so-called Mage’s view of a balanced world means—if gods exist, they could destroy our world effortlessly! However, to integrate into our world, they cannot exceed the balance of this space! Could a Giant Dragon enter an anthill? Yes! But only if it turns into an ant!" Andulan’s elder smacked his lips. "Do you understand what I’m saying?"

"I understand," Richard laughed heartily. "That is to say, if gods truly exist, they would have to become very weak to enter the Aegean Continent in person, because the fundamental balance of the world cannot be broken. Is that the idea?"

"Exactly! Destruction and integration are entirely different matters! You might recall all the divine miracles on the Aegean Continent, including the legendary heroes that the history books claim were personally visited by gods. They’ve actually illustrated this theory of balance in the most direct way!" Andulan’s elder nodded. "In all the legends, there has never been a god landing in person; they all come through avatars. This is what’s known as divine incarnation."

"Now that you’ve explained it like that, I understand completely!" Richard took his cigar and blew vigorously on the glowing cherry. "Back when I joined the Dark Elves’ ’Ceremony of Degradation’ underground, it seemed like the Goddess Luo Si had temporarily possessed Tan Ya’s body at the climax. It’s apparent that Spider Queen Luo Si couldn’t appear in person and had to incarnate her divinity through Tan Ya, taking a roundabout approach!"

"Obischillaci!" Andulan’s elder picked up his walking stick and gave old Richard a thump on the head. "You little rascal! If you are lecherous, it’s because you are lecherous! Don’t pin it on someone else! Didn’t you say it yourself? Your mind was in chaos at the time, could it not have been an illusion? A goddess interested in you? Who do you think you are?"

"What do you take me for? Would I lay a hand on a coral?" Richard said aggrievedly.

"It’s not impossible that Goddess Luo Si descended to the mortal world as an avatar," Andulan’s elder paused, contemplating. "Although your conduct is unsavory, it seems you are not so desperate as to be indiscriminate."

"That’s true." Richard, shoulder hunched, guffawed with his cigar clenched between his teeth.

"What exactly is Tan Ya? Not everyone can become an embodiment of divinity; there must be restrictions we don’t know about if the gods want to merge into our world," pondered Andulan’s elder, tilting his head and frowning.

"Come and go as they please?" Richard hollered raspily. "Even if a Giant Dragon wanted to enter an anthill, it would need to be at least Fourth-rank or higher, possessing the ability to shapeshift into an ant!"

Andulan’s elder glanced at him coldly. "Enough of that nonsense! If you’re free tomorrow, why don’t you communicate spiritually with Tan Ya... Hmm... in three months she’s due to give birth. Talk to her, and let me understand what kind of life form this is..."

"Are you encouraging me to be naughty, old man..." Richard laughed embarrassingly.
