The old lady's eyes flickered a few times, and finally she seemed to have made a decision. She took a deep breath and slowly spoke.
“You...you don’t understand. Our god is indeed powerful, but gods also have their own rules and cannot help us at will. As the chieftain, I cannot allow the innocent children and people of the tribe to be harmed because of their faith. We surrender to protect them.”
"Bullshit!"
Director Wang slammed his hand on the table and stood up angrily.
"So you mean that the lives of your people are more important to you than your faith in God?"
"Don't try to trap me with words. In my heart, the lives of my people are important, but that doesn't mean I don't believe in God. The two are not contradictory. When you destroyed our homeland, God was just restrained, otherwise you would have all died long ago!"
Director Wang stared intently at her, his eyes filled with pity and mockery.
What's there to say about someone like that?
Did God ever help the Nika tribe, even once, from beginning to end?
"How pathetic. Just as you said, you mortals are like ants in God's eyes. What makes you think God can help you?"
The words spoken two minutes ago have become a bullet, striking the old woman squarely between the eyebrows.
These primitive tribes, which have never been exposed to modern civilization, even though they have their own set of "basic logic".
However, when facing modern people, there is a clear feeling of "intellectual deficiency".
Seeing the old lady's conflicted expression, Director Wang continued to add fuel to the fire.
"Oh, by the way, the useless god you worship is called something like Cthulhu, which doesn't sound like a good thing at all~"
"What do you know!!"
Seemingly stung by Director Wang's words, the old lady tried to defend herself with red eyes.
"Why can't Cthulhu be summoned by us lowly humans!"
coming!
Director Wang felt a pang of anxiety, but maintained a nonchalant and sarcastic demeanor.
"Why can you? You said that in the eyes of God, we humans are like ants. Do you even deserve to summon a great god?"
"Hehe~" The old woman chuckled coldly twice: "Yes, in the eyes of God, humans are like ants in the eyes of humans. But I want to ask you, will you be summoned by an ant?"
can you?
Director Wang frowned, pondering this seemingly absurd question that he absolutely had to answer.
Seeing that Director Wang remained silent for a long time, the old lady answered herself expressionlessly.
"of course can!"
She then presented another theory.
Imagine you're passing by your house one day and suddenly notice a group of ants using some sand and pebbles to create a strange pattern.
Then the ants even used their bodies to form the shape of your name.
The highly intelligent ants even used some pebbles to spell out words expressing their wishes, and could even make some sounds similar to human speech.
If this happened in front of your house, could you resist the urge to look at them?
After watching for a while and learning about their wishes, you took a photo, posted it on your WeChat Moments, and prepared to leave, feeling satisfied.
Just as you were about to leave, the ant spoke in a muffled voice.
"The most respected and benevolent being in the entire universe, please do not leave. You, the ants of the whole colony, have called for your arrival, hoping that you will listen to our humble and insignificant wishes."
Since you're idle anyway, you might as well see what the "ant" really wants.
Of course, their "wishes" are also very simple:
There's a very powerful warrior in the neighboring ant colony. As long as it lives, our ant colony will never have peace, and we'll never be able to get food again. Can you help me kill it?
O omnipotent being, could you bestow upon us a mountain of food? Our ancestors will forever remember your great kindness and virtue.
And you did it, after all. Why not?
Come on, a group of talking ants who believe in you is just so cool!
So you kicked the neighbor's ant nest away, crushing countless ants in the process. Did that strong ant die?
It's probably dead; you can't possibly go to great lengths to find that strong ant.
As for food, you can just throw two apples at them; to them, that's a mountain of food.
Director Wang gave Xiaoqian a strange look and couldn't help but ask.
"Did the old lady say this herself?"
"Uh"
Xiaoqian blushed and shook her head, indicating that the old lady's words were too dry, and she had added some of her own feelings.
But that's exactly what the old lady meant!
Chapter 581 The Ant Theory: Peeking into the Heart of God
"Haha~"
The old lady chuckled coldly twice and continued speaking.
"How could we lowly mortals possibly understand the thoughts of God?"
Then, the old lady told another story about God.
Previously, Director Wang had bombed the altar with both airplanes and missiles.
This is like seeing a swarm of ants densely gathered at your doorstep. Even if you usually ignore ants, you would probably crush them underfoot in this situation, right?
Perhaps God would find it "disgusting" and wouldn't even need to step on it like humans do.
With just a thought, all modern firearms became ineffective.
Upon hearing this, both Director Wang and Xiaoqian fell silent.
They wanted to argue, but everything the old lady said seemed to fit perfectly with everything that had happened recently.
And if God is truly high above, then what the old lady said is most likely a very accurate speculation.
"Most importantly..."
The old woman stared menacingly into Director Wang's eyes.
"How could humans possibly understand the thinking of ants? How can you guarantee that what you seek is the same as what God understands?"
"If an ant were to ask God: 'O supreme being in the universe, I love a certain ant very much, but she completely ignores me, always disregards me or treats me like a sycophant, could you make me the only one in her eyes?'"
For ants, this problem is very "simple".
After all, you can easily destroy an anthill, let alone make one ant fall in love with another.
The problem is, for you, this problem is indeed many times more difficult than destroying an ant nest.
Furthermore, God has no emotions and knows nothing about emotions, but as the 'most supreme being in the universe,' you can't say that you can't do this 'small thing,' can you?
God thought about it for a moment and realized that the problem wasn't too difficult.
So you let this ant invite the ant it likes out alone, and then take a pot of boiling water and pour it directly into their nest.
Yes, God killed all the other ants in the anthill.
no problem?
Indeed, from now on, the ant it loves will only have eyes for it.
When the ant returned to the anthill with his beloved queen ant to start working, he found that the joyful and busy atmosphere in the anthill was no longer there.
The ground was littered with the corpses of their kind, and a survivor who had narrowly escaped death among the countless corpses was now huddled in a corner, trembling and mentally broken.
of course.
Even in such a situation, the ants do not blame God.
Please, that's the most supreme being in the entire universe. What right do I, an ant, have to blame it?
He would just cry his heart out until he went insane and frantically questioned himself: What the hell did I, the idiot, wish for?!
From now on.
A new rule has been added to the ants' ritual of summoning the god:
Because the wish you make is very likely to come true in a distorted way.
After listening, Director Wang's breathing became somewhat rapid.
After translating, Xiaoqian felt her hands and feet were ice-cold, and her body seemed to be trembling slightly.
Ants, humans, gods
This old lady explained the existence of God, and perhaps a glimpse of God's psychology, in a simple and easy-to-understand way.
Is there only one God?
Director Wang's tone had lost its earlier confidence.
"I don't know. Maybe there's one, maybe there are two, or maybe there are countless gods, just like ants. How could an ant know how many humans there are? Similarly, how could a human know how many gods there are?"
