People in the sandbox, starting the final trial

The integration of Lingge into human history is indeed a way to solve the problem from the root.
Human history has nothing to do with exploitation or privilege. Even if there were no gods or Buddhas, there would be no shortage of such things within human history.
Human history is about external affairs.
Human history represents the human group. If we think that there are other lives in the outside world taking advantage of our human history, that is not acceptable.
But as long as it is internal affairs, human history is of no concern.
Human history does not regard three-digit numbers as human beings. The most crucial point is that three-digit numbers are too powerful and can easily destroy the human history of a world. This poses a considerable threat to mankind – but what if this threat is removed?
Zeus’ method was not to give up power, but to give up the independence of his own spirit and completely integrate into human history.
Taking the prehistoric world as an example, this is roughly equivalent to Hongjun merging his body with the Tao.
In the prehistoric world, Tongtian is definitely not as strong as Hongjun, but Tongtian can re-refine the earth, water, fire and wind as long as he wants, but Hongjun cannot.
The minor trends in the prehistoric world can be changed, but the major trends cannot be changed. Tongtian can try to change the major trends, but he will almost certainly fail. However, it is impossible for Hongjun to try to change the major trends, even though the major trends are determined by him and the way of heaven.
Zeus completely integrated the spirit into human history using a similar method.
Human history feels that if gods and Buddhas are too powerful, they will threaten human history?
The key is to be threatening, not to be too strong.
Zeus completely integrated the spirit into human history, so the threat to human history naturally disappeared.
At that time, Zeus completely gave up his previous spiritual character, started from scratch, and relied entirely on the beliefs provided by human history to shape his current spiritual character.
In a way, it is similar to Yahweh completely obeying the prayers of His believers in human history, but it is also completely opposite.
Yahweh’s spiritual character is not entirely determined by believers. Yahweh’s ego is extreme, but He firmly believes that responding to believers’ prayers is the meaning of His existence.
In essence, Yahweh can ignore the prayers of believers, but He wants to listen to the prayers of believers.
Zeus is just the opposite. Although the character of Zeus in the box garden is much better than that of Zeus in other worlds, Zeus does not believe in Yahweh.
But in order to integrate human history into his spirit, Zeus’ spirit is indeed entirely composed of the prayers of his believers – and he cannot try to completely use this part of the prayers for himself, he must ensure that this part of his spirit has human characteristics.
The spirit of Yahweh belongs to Yahweh himself, and He responds to the prayers of believers throughout human history with His own thoughts.
Zeus’ spirit is from human history. Zeus is using his own ideas and will to get rid of the influence of human history as much as possible.
The spirit of Yahweh is given to God by human beings. It is a belief in God, and God chooses to give it back to human beings according to His own will.
The Yahweh camp is divided by God.
The spirit of Zeus is given to God by humans and belongs to the faith of humans. God uses his own will to make himself as unaffected as possible by human prayers.
Zeus’ camp is divided among people.
Yahweh is a god, and Zeus is more like a manager after raising funds.
Yahweh listened to the wishes of believers in human history because He wanted to listen. He has the right to ignore the believers in human history. There is no direct relationship between believers and the feedback from gods. It is just that Yahweh believes that this is the relationship between God and man.
Zeus was influenced by the wishes of those who provided him with spiritual energy in human history, but Zeus could only withstand this partial influence, and he could not completely bring this part of spiritual energy under his own control. He was the manager of this huge amount of spiritual energy, not the owner.
Humans provide Zeus with spiritual energy, and humans also have a certain ownership of Zeus’ spiritual energy.
Zeus’ situation is somewhat similar to that of some gods in the Western fantasy world. Humans provide faith and gods accept faith, but after accepting it, they need to use divine fire to forge the distracting thoughts in the faith, otherwise they will be kidnapped by the wishes of the believers.
In Zeus’s case, he lacked the step of being forged by divine fire, and could only rely on his own will to resist.
However, there are still some differences. In the small garden world, the essence of gods and Buddhas is life born from faith.
No matter how much water there is, it can’t drown a fish.
Even if Zeus really couldn’t stand the distracting thoughts of human believers, his own will would not be affected, but his control over his own spiritual power would decrease.
The more Zeus wanted to finely control his spiritual power, the more he needed to resist the distractions in the faith provided by a large number of humans.
Unlike those gods in Western fantasy novels whose believers kidnapped them and turned them into unconscious gods, in Zeus’s case, if he did not strengthen his own will, at most his means of controlling his spirit would become increasingly crude.
The core of Zeus’ own will will gradually begin to be unable to drive the overall spiritual power of ‘Zeus’.
But the core is still the core, the spirit is still the spirit, it’s just that the core configuration can’t keep up.
There is no danger of losing oneself after being infected by believers under the belief system of the box garden.
In the late period of human history, Zeus’ spirit gradually developed towards the direction of the only god. Zeus single-handedly fought against all the gods of the Greek pantheon and won… It was because Zeus and Yahweh had similar spirits.
First, based on the experience of their predecessors, the Greek gods imitated them to see if they could gain anything.
Even though they hated Yahweh to death, the Greek gods had to admit that Yahweh was indeed stronger than them.
If you can learn from it, you should learn from it.
When there are more gods and Buddhas like Zeus, the attitude towards human history will improve a lot.
Zeus’s spirit has integrated human history and operates with Zeus’s own will, carrying the spiritual power belonging to human history…so this naturally poses no threat to human history.
Human history doesn’t matter either, as it only deals with external affairs and not internal human decision-making.
When humans are dissatisfied with the box garden, human history can come up with a destruction mechanism called the final trial of humanity – when humans feel that they should be destroyed, human history will not stop it even a little bit.
Relying on the decision of a single strong person to judge whether the human history of a world will be destroyed is a threat, so human history regards three-digit numbers as non-human.
But even if Zeus now intends to destroy human history, it is not a decision made by Zeus himself, but rather the countless people who believe in Zeus who have provided Zeus with their own ideas and beliefs.
Even if these people do not want Zeus to destroy human history, it was they who gave Zeus the power to destroy the human history of a world.
That power that Zeus did not completely master belonged to humans. Zeus used his will to call upon the power that belonged to humans…Humans destroyed humans and had nothing to do with human history.
In this mode, no matter how powerful Zeus’s spirit becomes, he is just a part of human history.
If there were more gods and Buddhas like this, there would be no decadent trend destroying the small garden.
Never mind how ordinary people lived in human history, but Zeus’ spirit was counted among humans.
Even though ordinary people are living in dire straits, the gods and Buddhas whose spiritual powers are integrated into human history are extremely powerful – in terms of total volume, human history is also prosperous.
Human history only cares about the external world, not the internal world.
In this way, no matter how turbulent human history is, the decadent trend will never appear and destroy the box garden.
The sandbox is just a mechanism. When human history is generally satisfactory, the core of the sandbox cannot send out the decadent wind and destroy itself.
Chapter 68
If it is a completely natural universe, for example, before the box garden is built, it is possible that some big guys will jump out from that corner.
In fact, the box garden is now gradually expanding its observation range, but it is just getting slower and slower.
Moreover, new groups of gods are indeed gradually being discovered… such as the Cthulhu group of gods who were rejected by the box garden because they were too ugly.
The existence of the box garden is just a set of rules created by the gods themselves.
After the strong men leave the small garden, who will have higher combat power is a question.
Among the strong men in the box garden, who has higher combat power is another question.
Any new group of gods joining the box garden will not be able to achieve great results in a short period of time.
Even if you are strong, talented and capable of making all kinds of plans, you must understand and adapt to the rules of the box before you can make use of them.
In the small garden, there are no top three-digit numbers that are completely hidden.
The stronger the person, the more obvious the basic framework of the box garden will be.
Azdahaka’s understanding of the small garden is even top-notch among the top three digits.
After Zoroastrianism declined, the Mother of Evil did not do nothing.
The Zoroastrianism’s dualism of good and evil was broken by Yahweh, and the good god died halfway through his career.
The Mother of Evil looked inside the group of gods and saw only a few big and small cats left. After thinking for a moment, she felt that if Zoroastrianism wanted to revive, she could not count on others.
She can only do it by herself.
But problems also arise.
In Zoroastrianism’s view of good and evil, evil is the foundation of good, and evil is to prove the existence of good.
In this worldview, the evil god of Zoroastrianism is inherently weaker in combat power and is tainted with a bit of the definition of failure.
The Mother of Evil wants to rebuild her group of gods, so naturally she won’t think of taking on this negative buff.
Failure is the mother of success, and evil is the mother of good… It’s not impossible, okay!
We are the mother of evil, not evil, so what’s wrong with being a good god?
The universal truth of goodness is in my hands. Isn’t it easy to change my job and become a good god?
The Zoroastrian worldview is a dualism of good and evil. The Mother of Evil wants to return to the box garden and take the position of the God of Good, so the position of the God of Evil will become vacant.
That was the place she left for Azdahaka.
Azdahaka holds the Theory of the End in his left hand and the Simulated Star Chart in his right hand. He also follows the Mother of Evil and is being trained as a pillar of the gods.
If there were no such thing as the dystopian demon king, Azdahaka would be the next evil god of Zoroastrianism.
Without the final test of human spirit, Avesta would not be so exaggerated and would have all the current functions, but with limitations.
When facing gods and Buddhas, one can only copy their spiritual energy. Azdahaka became the Queen of Absolute Evil, and without the limitation of spiritual energy scale, Avesta’s spiritual energy simulation had no upper limit.
Today’s Avesta can easily simulate a million gods and put their power on Azdahaka.
If Azdahaka had come to power normally, and was only one of the two gods in the Zoroastrianism, the Avesta would have been greatly restricted.
Either specialized consumption, can only simulate a few three-digit spiritual power, but does not consume much energy during use.
Either it has specialized strength and can simulate a large number of divine spirits, but Azdahaka will suffer great losses during use and will not last long.
The now unlimited Avesta is invincible in the three-digit box garden. The only one who can fight Azdahaka alone is Indra.
If Azdahaka was not the final trial for humanity, with Avesta, which had a limit on the size of its spiritual power, gods and Buddhas of the same level in the box garden would have a certain chance of winning, but the chances were not high.
And they are afraid of a round-robin battle.
——However, this is the normal strength that a top three-digit person should have. Even if others cannot break your spiritual advantage, three or five people of the same level will definitely wear you out in a round-robin battle.
The current Azdahaka’s spirit is extremely specialized. The flaws still exist, but the advantages have been greatly enhanced.
He is no match for Indra in a one-on-one fight, but when facing a group of dozens of gods, he can defeat these gods and kill Indra at the same time.
Azdahaka also knew his own situation. He was not a cannon fodder, but an heir who was taken by the Mother of Evil to be trained after the decline of Zoroastrianism. He would have become the new pillar of Zoroastrianism.
He himself knows the plan of the Mother of Evil, and human history also knows part of it, but human history does not care.
