Chapter 666: The beginning of the hiccup plan

Gao Wen has always been interested in the huge “rebellious plan” of the ancient Gangyan Empire. In a sense, this plan can not be described by him as a huge one. It can even use greatness. To describe.

This is a plan for human beings to confirm the existence of the gods and to take the initiative to fight for the gods as a means to survive in the reality of the supernatural power of the world. In the modern after a thousand years, human civilization has declined, beyond humanity. The various races seem to be trapped in the quagmire. Gao Wen saw too much rigidity, backwardness, obscurity and decline in this era. However, some sparks of the rebellious plan still continue in this dark chaos, even if it is only one star and a half, it Prove one thing to Gao Wen:

The human beings in this world are in the bones and have factors of resistance and survival.

But if you look carefully and think carefully, Gao Wen finds that there are too many doubts in the rebellious plan - this huge plan seems to be built around the "rebellious gods" from beginning to end, although its ultimate goal seems to be against the devil. Tide, but is it just to let humans survive in the magic tide?

The Gangyan Empire tried to fight against the gods with such a decisive attitude. Even after the end of the magic tide, after the emergence of the new kingdom, there were rebellious people like Ophelia who continued the study of the old empire. The focus of these studies seems to be It has been completely transformed into a simple analytical god, against the magic tide... but more like an accessory product of this series of plans.

Even if you leave these doubts aside, there is such a living rebellious person as Ophelia. Gao Wen will inevitably want to hear the old secrets from this "party". After all... Gossip is human nature. One, the same as the satellite essence.

"The rebellious plan... I thought you would discuss this with me at least after the situation was completely stable," Ophelia smiled shallowly. "The subject of this topic is not clear in a few words."

"Just talk casually and satisfy my personal curiosity," Gao Wen said. "You don't have to answer my question completely. If you think there are some secrets that must be retained, then we can keep it to our two sides to build more. After trust - after all, just chatting casually."

Ophelia was sitting on the high back chair next to the Gaowen desk. She turned her head slightly, and her cheeks seemed to be infiltrated in a layer of light: "Reassured, I am happy to tell you about this, the disobedient Never reject the fellow travellers, except for the necessary confidentiality of the public, our business is not invisible."

Gao Wen nodded. "That's good - I already know that the hiccup plan is actually divided into many project teams. The 'God' project by Carmel is actually only one of them. I am very curious about it. How many projects are there, and which part are you specifically responsible for?"

Ophelia was a little addicted: "How many projects are there... I am afraid I really can't tell you this, it's not that I intend to keep it secret, but because... God may hear it."

Gao Wen brows a wrinkle: "God will hear?"

"I'm not sure if you can understand these overly abstract knowledge. I can only say what I know about the original book: there are some projects... The hiccup has gone too far and went to the world between the mortal world and the gods." In the field of chaos, where you know God, God knows you too - we have taken some security measures to ensure that we can mislead the sight of the gods, let the gods look elsewhere in the process of our research, but if If you raise them at an inappropriate time, especially by mentioning them through the mouth of the rebel, these misleading measures may be immediately punctured..."

“The gods have a certain conceptual trait, so that if they mention relevant knowledge in certain specific fields, they will attract their attention?”

"...you have excellent understanding," Ophelia looked at Gao Wen with a little surprise. "This is a sincere and sincere compliment."

"After a life and death, I have more or less contact with some hidden knowledge," Gao Wen said casually. "While the gods have such qualities, how do you really study projects that cannot be mentioned?" ”

"...even this can't be mentioned," Ophelia shook her head helplessly - this is the first time Gao Wen has seen a helpless expression from her face. "The security measures set in the past have now expired. I can't discuss any related topics with you in the real world. In a sense, these hidden projects have been 'killed' on the edge of the domain of the gods. Sorry, I have not found a way to break the game."

"...It doesn't matter, you can't force everything," Gao Wen sighed. "Tell that you are responsible for the project, pick those that can be said."

"Researching the nature of the gods and the many laws of them and trying to find loopholes from them is my main task," Ophelia nodded. "In addition, I also manage several rebellious bases, including you. The rebellious fortress that you know."

"Several bases..." Gao Wen suddenly raised his eyelids and was surprised. "There are still many bases like the rebellious fortress?"

"How can such a dangerous plan put all the projects in one place?" Ophelia said faintly. "The rebellious fortress you know is just one of many bases. But as far as I know, the rebellious fortress is indeed It is the largest of all bases, the earliest one built - it is connected to the fallen place of Julu Amoen, our original project started from there, and therefore, it is eligible to be called 'rebellion' Two words."

Gao Wen couldn't help but ask: "The other rebellious base..."

Ophelia's next answer temporarily dispelled all his thoughts: "It's just ruining the wasteland."

"...well," Gao Wen sighed. "This is a goal we can't solve for the time being."

Ophelia looked at Gao Wen: "What else do you want to know about the hiccup plan?"

Gao Wen thought about it, tapping his finger on the desktop in front of his eyes: "The goal of the hiccup plan is just to fight against the magic tide? In order to fight against the magic tide, you must disobey the gods? Or change the question... Why must Can humanity survive against the gods? Is it because only the power of stealing the gods can make people resist the magic tide, or is it because the gods have triggered the magic tide?"

This is exactly the question that Gao Wen has been thinking about for a while: What is the original reason and motivation for the disobedience against the gods?

As a former atheist, coupled with the habits of his life, he did not feel that the plan was wrong when he first knew the plan of rebellion. In his view, the shackles of mortals trying to break free of the gods can be said to be a kind of "Innately correct": Pursuing freedom, knocking down the ghosts and gods, the gods oppress the world, isn't that the case?

But the longer he lives in this world, the more he feels the violation from the local world view:

What is the relationship between the gods and the mortals? They do control the source of the power of the gods, control the beliefs of mortals, and may even create a "steel seal" to ensure mortal belief in themselves, but apart from that, they really intervene in the operation of the mortal world. What?

The church is responsible for the deeds of the gods - this is one of the rules of the mortal world. In other words, in fact, the group of priests is the real exploiter and oppressor, even the interpreter of theocracy, and Wright This was confirmed after the takeover of the Church of the Light. Although the gods existed, the number of gods was actually very small. Except for the connection in the field of magic, they can be said to be completely free. Outside the world, what really does things is just the priest...

Of course, the high-text people still have full taboos and even hostility towards the gods, but this is due to his personal experience and worldview.

So what about people other than him? What are the indigenous people born and raised in this world? What about the rebellious people of ancient times?

The disobedience initially decided to fight against the gods. There must be a more impetus for the reason. According to the information revealed by Ophelia, the rebellious plan can be said to be against the gods in all aspects, not only to steal their power, but also Study their nature, find their coordinates, find their weaknesses, and go further... they certainly don't mind killing those gods.

If they just want to let mortals live in the magic tide, they don't have to do this. They do, for sure, need deeper reasons, such as...

The existence of the gods to the mortal itself is an "absolute threat."

In this regard, only Carmel, who is a senior researcher and group leader, can't give a high-text answer, but as a member of the old imperial royal family, Ophelia Norton, a senior manager of the rebellious plan, must know something. .

Gao Wen’s question may have really cut the point. The expression on Ophelia’s face is faintly abrupt. After a long time of indifference, she opened her mouth:

"As long as the **** exists, mankind will one day be destroyed."

Gao Wen frowned: "...so is it that they have triggered a magic wave?"

"On the contrary, the gods have never triggered a magical wave, even according to our research, in the lost civilization of the ancient times - do you know the lost civilization of the ancient times?"

Gao Wen nodded: "I have contacted the dragons and know some things about ancient civilizations. It seems that you know these too."

"That's a good exchange. According to our research, ancient civilizations have also encountered magical tides. Some of them have survived disasters. These civilizations that have survived disasters are not all based on their own strength..."

"You mean..." Gao Wen’s action on the table suddenly stopped, and his eyes were dignified. “Is God helping?”

"It is the help of the people - the darker the light, the more dazzling the light, the more catastrophic the mortal encounters, the more the gods will spare no effort to protect the mortal. There is evidence that there may even be a direct ontology of the gods in the ancient times, help Where mortals resist the magic tide, although not every time they succeed in surviving civilization, those gods have done so clearly."

Gao Wen thought for a moment: "...is the news reliable?"

"We can't determine the things of the ancient times, but we have more than one clue, including some of the insights revealed by the ancient races, as well as some of the ancient relics we excavated in the central part of the mainland," Ophelia said without hesitation. "The magic tide is not triggered by the gods, but the latter will help the human body to resist the magic tide. As a pioneer, you should also know that there are many priests who are active in the front line as an important force in the pioneering army. Is the magic in the hands of these priests from the gods they believe in?"

Gao Wen couldn't help but think of the direction of the conspiracy: "In case the gods triggered the magic tide, and through the miraculous way to increase their beliefs?"

“Is increasing the number of believers by cutting the population by more than 70%? After the magic tide, the number of believers in all churches has dropped sharply, and many beliefs have been directly cut off, not to mention the fact that in ancient times there was a direct revelation of the magic tide. Destroyed civilization... From this point of view, I think your guess is not true."

"Well, this seems to be too conspiracy theory," Gao Wen also realized that his guess was not well thought out. "So, in this case, what is your reason for fighting the gods?"

Ophelia took a deep breath and said seriously: "More than one civilization survived the magic tide in ancient times - but those surviving civilizations, where are they now?"

In just two or three seconds of silence, Gao Wen’s mind came up with a concept that Melita had once told herself -

Black trap.

"Is God finally destroying those survivors?"

Ophelia nodded slowly: "I am afraid it is."

Gao Wen stunned, and suddenly his face was eccentrically opened: "...Is God schizophrenic?"

"We don't know why -- and we didn't find any clues or evidence that would support the death of the gods. We just found the record of the gods protecting humans in the magic tide, and all the civilizations that survived the magic tide. The fact that they are extinct.

"We didn't know at the beginning what destroyed the survivors, until in the process of adjusting the magic flow of the Deep Blue Well, we accidentally opened a wrong crack and connected the 'Divine boundary', which was distorted in that way. In the splendid cracks, we witnessed for the first time a little illusion of the gods...

"At that time, the Gangster Royal Family organized a secret exploration team consisting of the most powerful priests and scholars. The purpose of this team is actually very simple. It is to look at the cracks and look at each other. If you can, face God. A tribute to thank them for their protection of the world - the team will not really enter the kingdom of God, nor will it make any offensive.

"However, when the 'cross-border' behavior occurred, the situation was out of control, and the fissures exuded extreme chaos and crazy malice. The brilliant images of the heavens instantly turned into the most horrible nightmare scene, hidden under the glory. The distorted 'knowledge' of the mental collapse and the 'truth' that the human mind cannot understand, the team that crossed the gap is almost instantaneously destroyed, and only two and a half of the mad legendary strongmen sighed back to the world, they only left before the death. Two sentences:

"He will destroy us.

"This is a countdown."

Ophelia stopped and looked at Gao Wen quietly. After a few ten seconds of silence, she softly broke the silence:

"These two sentences are the beginning of the rebellious plan."
