Chapter 1558: like a god

Under the darkness of night, Gawain felt a cold that penetrated into his soul.
Ms. Ye's amber eyes looked down at the earth from the sky. In the depths of the clouds and mist, those eyes seemed to be without warmth and emotion like the light of the evening sky. Under the purest and calmest gaze, Gawain instantly understood the other party. Meaningful words.
He didn't speak for a while, but Ms. Ye obviously knew that the "mortal" in front of him knew exactly what his warning meant, and after a moment's pause, he slowly spoke: "Your great achievements are numerous, and this includes your own wisdom. And vision, there are also unrepeatable luck and situation promotion, and there are also the efforts of many ordinary people who are like you, but most ordinary people do not distinguish these things. The great emperor Gawain Cecil It represents the most dazzling light of this era. Even though there are countless firewoods under this light, it is only that brilliance that illuminates the world.
"And that's going to be a huge problem.
"Gao Wen, your arrival and activity have greatly promoted the progress of the world, you have accelerated many things that may have taken generations to complete to a certain extreme, what you have done has exceeded many people's imagination, and You have lived in this world for many years, and you should know very well what the consequences will be when sentient beings face things that are beyond imagination."
Gao Wen listened to Ms. Ye's words quietly, and he said solemnly after the other party's voice fell: "The Theocratic Council will try its best to avoid this situation, and the widely opened people's wisdom and the popularization of the concept of ideology will also eliminate the one you said. possible."
"Ah, the Theocratic Council, and the series of literacy campaigns you lead..." Ms. Ye said slowly, "Indeed, when I woke up from an uncontrollable sleep and saw these things appearing in the world, I was really shocked. Surprised, I admit that these are all very effective means, especially the research work on the popularization of knowledge and the systematic analysis of the mechanism behind the gods. This is indeed a fundamental solution to the problem of 'sacred disaster', but... high Man, you should know it takes time.
"You need at least one or two generations to complete the 'sinking' of literacy, and only after this sinking reaches the bottom of the population and the most ignorant and closed backcountry, can the shadow of the disaster be truly controlled, but in Before this?
"There is a time difference of several decades, especially when you lead the world to solve the magic tide crisis, your personal achievements will reach a peak, and the whole world will survive because of your leadership and blessing. At that time, you will have How much energy does it take to check the cognition of every idiot in the village and the villagers, and how much time does it take to guide ordinary people to look at you as a 'savior' with a calm and rational attitude?"
Gao Wen's brows furrowed tightly. It's not that he didn't think of this shocking possibility, and he has been using various methods to try to avoid this situation, but at this moment, Madam Ye's attitude made him vaguely aware of it. To, this shadow has not really been eliminated.
At the same time, he also heard Lady Ye's voice continuing: "Worship of great men... This is a dangerous borderline between reason and blindness. One step back, in the eyes of the people is a great leader, The first step, in the eyes of the people is a savior from heaven, I know that you have made a lot of efforts to avoid people deifying you as much as possible, which includes national and even worldwide intellectual literacy, including prohibiting any form of personal Idolatry, especially for your personal idolatry, you even acquiesce to some... 'publications' that are not so friendly to your personal image, because these things can make you more like a living person in the eyes of the world, and Not being a symbolic steel leader, these efforts are not useless, just… not useful enough.
"Because you can only formally prohibit or push something, you cannot precisely control the minds of everyone in the world, even if under your guidance, the people maintain a sensible and sober awareness of you on the surface. , But what about in private? In the backcountry that you can't take care of? In the depths of their hearts? There will always be people who think you are like a god, and even regard you as the incarnation of the savior, even if not now, there will be soon …
"The human heart is uncontrollable, and the scary thing is that this uncontrollable human heart will always turn into some kind of material disaster. The transformation process is slow but difficult to stop, and the beginning is silent."
Gawain's expression became more serious than ever before, his face was watery, and his voice was low: "This kind of thing...has happened before?"
"Yes, it happened," Ms. Ye replied calmly. "The great leader is regarded as the incarnation of the gods. The leader's denial and all his efforts have had little effect. What's more tragic is that he did succeed in stopping him during his lifetime. He idolized himself, but only ten years after his death, the memory and gratitude from all over the world brought him back to life as a 'God'... Due to the huge contradiction between human nature and divinity, this The sad new quickly went mad, and I saw his end."
Gawain pinched his chin and fell into contemplation, the shadow in front of him made him feel a lot of pressure.
Idolatry, personal deification... These are the things he doesn't want to see the most, but what Ms. Ye said is irrefutable. He can indeed formally and superficially prohibit such deification and worship, but he blocks it. The "superstitious imagination" of a great person in the minds of ordinary people (especially those who still occupy the majority of the population and whose ideology and cognition are relatively backward) cannot stop, and this kind of thing that happens at the level of the human heart... The most dangerous in the world.
Of course, he also knows that this kind of personal deification and idolatry will never be a long-term situation. The people will one day become enlightened and rational, and the wise people of later generations will learn how to correctly view a great figure in history, but the problem is that ...before this day comes, his divine transformation may have been completed!
He was silent for a long time in contemplation, but he was not thinking of a solution in vain because it was not something he could come up with on the spot, and he knew better that since Lady Ye chose to take this matter at this time On the stage, it means that the ancient should have already made arrangements. The reason why he pondered quietly for so long was just sorting out his thoughts, sorting out the existing information, adjusting his mentality, and preparing to face the present The ancient god's "suggestion".
Finally, his troubled thoughts calmed down again, and his mind was calmer than ever before. He raised his head and looked at the gaze in the clouds: "So what's your suggestion? You told me so much, it shouldn't just be Play to scare people."
Behind the hazy fog, a smile appeared on Ms. Ye's face: "I do have a plan, but it requires your cooperation and your choice."
"Cooperation and trade-offs?" Gao Wen frowned, "What about the specifics? What should I do?"
"I can't tell you directly at this point in time, but soon you will know," Ms. Ye laughed, "First of all I want to ask you a question... You know, this world has gone through many reincarnations, Season after season of civilization, batch after batch of gods have been born, and because mortals have the same primitive awe of nature, these batches of gods are always repeated. Have you ever wondered why they are experiencing After so many reincarnations, there has never been a new 'God of Shadows' born in this world, why is it that I am the only 'old antique' who is in charge of the Shadow Realm?"
Gawain was stunned for a moment, but he soon had the answer because he had studied this question a long time ago: "Because the reflection of thoughts is exclusive. Thoughts can map new gods in the blank area, but they cannot be reflected in the area where the reflection already exists. Covering a new reflection on this planet, the shadow authority has you occupying a place, and the mortals' thoughts in this area cannot shake your existence."
Speaking of this, Gawain stopped suddenly, and he vaguely guessed what Ms. Ye meant: "You mean, if you occupy the 'position' in advance, you can avoid the problem of divine transformation?"
"It's a bit close, but it's not that simple," Ms. Ye said with a smile. "Our ultimate goal is to avoid a...how to call the you might be transformed into? Ah, it's called the 'God Emperor' Well, we want to avoid a emperor, so even for the purpose of 'occupying a place', we can't get a similar to occupy this place, so we have to start from another angle and firmly fix you in ' On the non-god position, all thoughts that can point to the concept of 'God Emperor' should be blocked, and even let it become a 'vacuum' in the deep sea.
"In fact, that's why I can maintain my sanity while continuing to hold the power of the shadows."
Gao Wenwen was full of thoughts and wanted to complain about how the word "God Emperor" came out of the other party, but when he heard the last sentence of the other party, he was suddenly stunned, and then he responded: "You mean... that used for Anchor generator that maintains your existence?"
Ms. Ye's eyes fell to Gawain, and she smiled behind the clouds: "According to the information I collected after I woke up, the satellite you are living on is not very good now, even though you use a mortal body to walk in the world now. , but that satellite still maintains most of your thought threads, and on the other hand, if I mean what happens to your body someday, you also need a more reliable carrier to relocate your Soul, isn't it?"
Gawain's expression became weird: "So what you want to say is..."
"What I want to say is that now that you have taken over many permissions of Cangqiong Station..." Ms. Ye said casually, "So do you want to consider moving in directly? My neighbor."
Gao Wen: "…"
He finally confirmed that Madam Ye is indeed unreliable. Although the temperament revealed after his appearance is always mysterious and majestic, his style of painting has really been rubbing secretly under the shell of coercion. The earth swayed from side to side, or why did the last few words of His sound become more and more wrong? !
But after the initial surprise in his heart, Gawain quickly began to analyze the suggestion given by Ms. Ye with a serious attitude. He realized that this suggestion was not a joke. Behind the seemingly strange sentence, what was revealed In fact, it is a very serious plan.
He looked up at the sky and his expression became very solemn: "You mean, like what the sailor did to you, bind me to that 'anchor generator'?"
"This is the simplest solution, and it is possible to realize it precisely because of your special situation," Ms. Ye did not deny, "Because you have merged with the Legacy of the Navigator, I can solve you in a relatively simple way. The hidden dangers on the body cannot be directly bound to the anchor point generator, there are some special existences, but it will take a lot of work for me to build a suitable 'anchor' for them."
As soon as Gawain's heart moved, he immediately wanted to ask what the other party said about "special existence" and "building a suitable anchor", but before he spoke, Ms. Ye led the topic directly: "Then what about your answer? ?My neighbor, do you want to consider 'moving a house'? You can rest assured that this process is just a data-level migration and reconstruction of a series of mapping relationships, and will not affect any of your thinking or actions, and you won't even feel it happening. The only thing that has changed is that we have completely solved a hidden danger."
Gawain was lost in thought.
He is indeed hesitating, but not the matter of "data migration" itself, because the situation is indeed as Ms. Ye said, the satellite he is currently serving as the main body has reached the end of its service, even under the lowest load conditions, He also always receives error messages or warnings from satellites. Although he is indeed using the body of "Gawain Cecil" to survive, once the satellite is completely scrapped, he will inevitably be greatly affected. , not to mention what to do if something really goes wrong with his body.
In contrast, the situation of the sky station is of course much better. The semi-permanent space giant is by no means comparable to a small satellite in terms of service life. Even if the sky station has been in a sleepy state for many years, the most recent period The engineering team led by Time Nicholas has also returned a lot of evidence, showing that the gradually awakening space station is actually in a much better state than Gawain imagined at the beginning.

Gawain himself has even considered whether it is possible to switch his "ontology" from the satellite to the sky station, instead of manipulating the space station through a series of indirect jumps like now (this is very energy-consuming. and trouble), but he never found a way.
And now, the solution is in sight.
Except for one question, is this ancient god's suggestion really safe and reliable?
He stared at the amber eyes in the sky, and those amber eyes stared at him.
He saw something familiar to him in those eyes.
After a certain sense of enlightenment, he nodded slowly: "How do we start?"
"The moment you nod your head, it's already started."
Gao Wen was slightly taken aback: "...Then the 'cooperation and trade-off' you mentioned just now refers to..."
"…you guess?"
Madam Ye's voice fell, and a violent dizziness suddenly hit from all directions!
The confused five senses, the intermittent thinking, the dancing lights and shadows, the massive amount of data that is enough to make ordinary people mentally collapse flooded Gawain's mind like a gust of wind and waves. He even forgot his name at this moment. His origins, he forgot himself, he kept falling in weightlessness, as if falling from the clouds into the abyss, and this terrifying process lasted for an unknown amount of time.
But in the end, the wave of madness died down.
He opened his eyes and found himself standing on the edge of a forest, with camps in the wilderness not far ahead.
Earthly Dawn is quietly suspended in the sky.
Without warning, a voice suddenly appeared beside Gawain: "Old Zongzi! You finally came out!"
Gawain was startled by this sudden voice, he turned his head to look, saw Amber standing beside him, and the shadowy mist behind him was gradually dissipating.
