Chapter 79 Faith is the last line of defense

After hearing Zuo Yi's answer, Ji Xiu felt ashamed.

He really hadn't thought about becoming a god, but he could understand why Zuo Yi made this decision.

As he said before, the disappearance of Yu Jingshen has caused the people to gradually lose faith, and the cohesion of the entire country has therefore weakened.

In the future envisioned by Zuo Yi, mankind must have a new spiritual support.

"Why not make up a god?" Ji Xiu couldn't help but asked curiously.

Facing the inquiry, Zuo Yi shook his head regretfully:
"It's not true. Belief in gods in peaceful times can be just a matter of spiritual sustenance, but the future of Yu Jingguo will definitely be full of turmoil. In order to develop, we will enter the offshore battlefield and compete with all races for resources. The entire country needs to contribute to the victory of the war. A force, under such a social system, what people need is not an illusory god, but a god who can truly bring strength to themselves."

"Just like the previous challengers, they are both gods in the eyes of humans and pioneering warriors. This will also be your future path."

Having said this, a smile appeared on Zuo Yi's face:

"Don't forget, the way you collect will power is affected by the loyalty of your faith. The replacement body is just a passing scene after all. Only faith based on your soul can run through all timelines. In the future, you may be able to recover from the state of soul transfer. Breaking away and becoming a true god in soul form is a mutually reinforcing path.”

"On the third day I went there, the resource island was invaded by aliens. The battle was extremely brutal. After the alien forces were repulsed, only three of the garrison team and myself survived. Ling Bo, who fought tooth and nail to protect me, was there. During the battle, he was exposed to the mental toxin released by the alien race and fell into a coma."

"When I heard this, I felt unbelievable. This kind of spiritual toxin was sent to the Yujing Church for research and was regarded as an unsolvable spiritual poison. But Ling Bo told me that this was not the first time he had been poisoned. trick."

"It wasn't until I went to the front lines of the outer sea that I realized that there is only one antidote to this kind of spiritual poison, which is impeccable spiritual will. In the eyes of the warriors with the strongest faith, this is nothing at all."

"Now that you have decided to take the road of breaking the situation, why are you still hesitating? Afraid of losing? Afraid of responsibility?"

The breeze blowing from the window lifted Zuo Yi's long gray hair, and his eyes flickered:

"At that time, I naively thought that Ling Bo had a special constitution and that his body was resistant to mental toxins."

After hearing these words, Ji Xiu already understood Zuo Yi's thoughts.

As he spoke, Zuo Yi pointed to the blue warning flag on the wall:
"In the eyes of the non-believers of this era, Yujing's faith is an auxiliary to the powerful rule of the Yujing Church, a tool to fool the people, and a waste to amass money and consume the people."

After learning the truth, Zuo Yi has already started his "trick" to tie him to the future of mankind.

"What gave Ling Bo spiritual strength was the God Yu Jing he believed in. For a warrior like him who regarded it as an honor to sacrifice his life for the God Yu Jing, you can defeat his body, but you cannot defeat his spiritual will. , Even if his hands are broken, he can continue to fight in desperate situations. If his hands are broken, he will use his feet. If his feet are broken, he will use his teeth. Even if his body cannot move, his will is still burning the fire of faith."

Behind treating him as a god is the hope that he can shoulder the burden of leading the rise of the human race.

"But in the eyes of the people of Yujing at its peak, the word "Yujing" represents the strong cohesion within the human race, the source of strength that is not afraid of death in battle, and the spiritual sustenance in desperate situations. The word "Yujing" has shaped countless powerful people. human warrior."

"This is a mental toxin that is considered fatal. The pain it causes is beyond imagination. I have exhausted all the medical methods I have learned and cannot remove it. But just when I thought Ling Bo would eventually die in pain, But he woke up from a coma, endured the mental pain, took off his blood-soaked armor while I was dumbfounded, smiled and patted my shoulder with his bare upper body, and told me that this little mental pain was nothing. This is not the first time I have been attacked in the past eighteen years, so I will let it go."

Zuo Yi heard this and shook his head with a smile.

Turning to look at Ji Xiu, Zuo Yi continued in a hoarse voice:

"The last line of psychological defense, a belief that can keep going even if everything is lost in turmoil, a strength that can rise up to resist even in the face of despair."

Looking at Ji Xiu who remained silent, Zuo Yi continued:
"When I was young, I once met a senior in the sea. The deep impression he left on me has never been forgotten. At that time, as a divine envoy, I was sent to a small resource island in the sea to serve as the chief priest of the prayer ceremony. There I met A group of military soldiers who guarded the resource island in a difficult environment. Their leader was named Ling Bo, a veteran soldier who had guarded the resource island for eighteen years and never returned home."

"Do you know what faith means to a country that is about to fall into the quagmire of war?"

Taking a deep breath, Ji Xiu's eyes flashed:
"Lao Zuo, is faith really that important to the people of Yujing? Can't we build a godless social system?"

"What?" Ji Xiu asked confused.

"I hope that you can become the new god of the human race, become the goal of people to follow their faith, and reunite the entire human race... Although this process will not come soon and it will take time to settle, but when the day of success comes, you will have to pay for it. In exchange, you will get a group of warriors of faith who are willing to burn themselves for you."

After listening to Zuo Yi's story, Ji Xiu felt shaken in his heart, and there seemed to be an emotion taking root in his heart.

"Since you have chosen to embark on the road to break the situation, there is no point in being indecisive. Becoming the God of the Human Race is one of the choices to break the situation. Why not be brave?"

Looking at Zuo Yi, who was smiling and seemed sure that he would agree, Ji Xiu thought of the domineering words he said in the previous timeline:
"They all say that mortals cannot resist gods, so I will create a god!"

This scheming old guy always looks calm or kind to the outside world, but only when you are really close to him can you see his true side. This is a man who dares to face desperate situations and challenges, and shouts with the most domineering attitude. A tough guy who says "If I don't accept it, do it!"

At the pre-war meeting fifty years ago, Zuo Yi, who slapped the table and pointed at the Yu Jing church leaders who opposed the war at the meeting, scolded all the senior leaders of the church, was even regarded as the spiritual leader by You Hong.

This old guy has both strategic skills and courage and courage. He is simply born for this turbulent era.

"Lao Zuo, why do I feel like you are brainwashing me?"

"I'm just stating my thoughts. The choice is yours. Living in a four-year cycle of death is not an option, right?"

Speaking of this, Zuo Yi suddenly became serious:
"But I believe you will make the choice to fight. It is fun to challenge difficulties."

Looking at Zuo Yi with a smile on his face, Ji Xiu wanted to punch his face covered with traces of time.

You've used all the provocations, right? You're a scheming old guy.

"Lao Zuo, what name do you think I should give myself?"

"Most gods take their own divine power as their divine name. For example, the divine power behind the Thousand Faces Organization comes from the power of trickery, so he is called the God of trickery, but there are also some gods who give their own names, such as Our Yu Jingshen, its divine power has nothing to do with the name of the god... In fact, it doesn’t matter what name it is, you can even use the word Ji Xiu, time will give this name weight and majesty."

"Time given?"

Zuo Yi nodded:

"Changes in faith do not happen overnight. At least this generation of people will find it difficult to recognize you as a new god. However, through the reform of the education system and the indoctrination of doctrines, people's minds will be subtly changed, and your image will be promoted in the new era in a step-by-step manner. The eyes of the people of the era will be magnified until the era that truly belongs to you comes."

"How long will that be?"

"It will take at least two generations to change. The inherent ideas will fade with the passing of one generation. People in the new era will have ideas to adapt to the new era... Just like this generation's distrust of Yu Jingshen, It didn’t happen overnight. In the early days when Yu Jing disappeared, people’s belief in it was still strong, and it has gradually faded away until today. However, there are still staunch believers in Yu Jing in this era.”

After listening to Zuo Yi's explanation, he understood what Zuo Yi wanted to express.

The replacement of beliefs is not the transformation of thoughts. Time is an important catalyst for the creation of gods. Only when old thoughts fade away can new seeds have room to take root and grow.

Zuo Yi asked him to plan for the future, erase the word "Yu Jing" at the right time, and establish his own divine dynasty as a new god.

Before that, he should accompany the people of Yujing to grow up as a high priest. …

After leaving Yujing Temple, Ji Xiu had a lot of thoughts.

He always felt that Zuo Yi was brainwashing him, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

The opponent's open cards told him what he was going to play, but he felt that the opponent's idea of ​​​​playing cards was completely correct, and he had to follow suit.

"As expected of a believer in the God of Trickery."

Returning to the Science and Technology Research Institute, Ji Xiu came to the underground level.

The Horror Game Department does not yet have its own research base. At this stage, it is borrowing the underground floor of the Science and Technology Research Institute to serve as a studio. During this period, there are also staff from the Science and Technology Research Institute to cooperate with them in the creation of horror games.

"Ding!"

The elevator reached the -1 floor, and the metal doors opened to both sides.

The area in front of you is comparable to the basement of two football fields, and the design of the scene is very futuristic and sci-fi style.

A three-dimensional image modeling shadow is cast on the ceiling. The staff standing on the ground use their hands to control the color and shape changes of the modeling process to build the model. The entire underground square is intertwined with light and shadow.

In the center of the square is a huge circular workbench, which is covered with advanced technological equipment. Among them, a rough prototype of a virtual game warehouse made with 3D printing technology is being refined and carved.

Everyone is busy, and anxiety is written on almost everyone's face.

Through the crowd, Ji Xiu came to a stop in front of a modeler.

The modeler who was busy at this time did not notice his arrival. There was a mutant model suspended in front of him. After calling out the control panel with his right hand forward, he began to change the skin color of the mutant, and then The tools were also changed to make detailed adjustments to the appearance of the mutant.

After a long time, the modeler seemed to be satisfied with the mutant he had made. He clapped his hands and the projection of the mutant suddenly enlarged to a height of three meters.

After looking around the mutant body, the modeler suddenly shook his head and sighed. He clapped his hands wearing sensor gloves again. Suddenly the three-dimensional projection of the mutant body shrunk, and he began to re-modify the details of the modeling.

In this regard, Ji Xiu has very high requirements for them.

Details determine the degree of reality. If you want to give players an immersive sense of being on the scene, the virtual modeling must be as perfect as possible in terms of details.

Passing by him, Ji Xiu came to stand in front of another virtual modeler.

This is a very young-looking woman, who looks to be in her 20s. She is building the "Ceratopsian" fishing boat that appeared in the opening scene of "Pollution Crisis" with a serious expression.

The three-dimensional image projected from the ceiling condensed into a miniature model of the fishing boat in front of her. Wearing sensor gloves, she moved her hands on the fishing boat, creating traces of time on the surface of the fishing boat.

During this period, I clapped my hands from time to time to zoom in on the fishing boat model and observe whether there were any unnoticed details that needed to be processed.

Rust, sea moss, and scratches, with her embellishment, the traces of time on the Jiaolong fishing boat are gradually highlighted.

After completing the step-by-step modeling, the woman breathed a sigh of relief, then raised her head and looked into the distance and shouted:
"Stick, how's your wave simulation going?"

Facing her inquiry, a young voice came from afar:
"Sister Li, it's almost done. Do you want to use it?"

"pass it to me."

"it is good."

As he finished speaking, a fist-sized three-dimensional projection icon was thrown from a distance. The projection system on the ceiling even simulated the gravity parabola during the throwing process of the icon, and it accurately landed in the woman's hand.

The woman tapped the icon with her sensor-equipped palm, and the projection of the waves immediately magnified in front of her eyes.

Drag the Jiaolong fishing boat and place it on the waves, and the two models are immediately combined, and the Jiaolong fishing boat begins to rise and fall with the waves.

The woman carefully observed the physical performance of the Horned Dragon fishing boat, then snapped her fingers to call up the engine panel, and a progress bar popped up next to her.

As she was dragged along, the waves intensified, and black lightning even flashed above.

As if she felt something was missing, the woman raised her head and shouted into the distance again:
"Stick, where's the sound effect of the waves?"

"The sound effects team hasn't sent it to me yet."

"Go and urge them to speed up. If they can't get it done, work overtime and stay up late to get it done."

As she spoke, the woman continued to drag the progress bar. The Jiaolong fishing boat in the violent wind and waves swayed greatly in the undulations of the waves. It can be seen that the hull of the boat was obviously worn through the mold, and the combination with the waves seemed very unnatural.

Seeing this scene, the woman couldn't help but sigh.

Drag the wave retraction icon to the tool panel, send it to her colleague, and she starts a new round of modifications.

As if she had thought of something, the woman turned around and opened her mouth to shout, but when she saw Ji Xiu standing behind her, her expression became obviously stiff:
"Discipline...discipline management."

"You go on, I won't disturb you." Ji Xiu smiled and nodded, then passed by the woman.

Ji Xiu was very satisfied to see the team members working so hard.

But their efforts came less from their own supervision and more from the pressure given by Zuo Yi.

The woman who just made the Jiaolong fishing boat is named "Wang Xiaoli" and is one of the core members of the modeling team. Before she joined the team, she received a promise from Zuo Yi to help her treat her father's genetic disease for free, and she will use it during the period. The best herbs and medical team.

Treatment for his father had begun after she joined the team.

But if the production of this game cannot be completed, not only will she be held responsible, but her father will also be implicated.

Under pressure, she completely turned into a workaholic.

After passing through the busy crowd, Ji Xiu came to his office desk and sat down.

After turning on the computer, Ji Xiu was infected by the work atmosphere and decided to continue working hard today.

Start writing a new plot, goal: 30,000 words per day!
