Chapter 270 God Is Not Omnipotent
To put it bluntly, if God really exists, then what Kagali said is almost equivalent to "blasphemy".
What kind of consequences will blasphemy have? Thousands of years of theocracy have already told everything.
That is absolutely the ultimate cruelty and the embodiment of fear.
Therefore, even these elders who are equally ruthless and eager for war are terrified at this moment.
But Kagali's words continue.
"If it is really an omnipotent god, then wanting to end the war must be just a matter of words. I think everyone has not forgotten that famous debate, and the conclusion is that God does not exist, and even if he exists, he cannot be omnipotent - since he is not omnipotent, he is at most a powerful spellcaster. Since we can pull the spellcaster off the throne of invincibility, why can't we also pull the 'God' off the throne of omnipotence and irresistibility?"
Kagali's voice was not surging, but her tone was very powerful.
Some people are indeed thinking.
This is definitely a great rebellion. If there really is an omnipotent god watching everything in this world, I am afraid that there will be a punishment from heaven at this moment.
Let alone these people, Cagalli will definitely be punished by God.
However, this does not seem to have happened.
This seems to further confirm the reality that "God is not omnipotent".
Some people's eyes are getting brighter and brighter.
It must be said that the great changes in the world in the past two hundred years have not only changed the thousands of years of theocracy, but also liberated the minds of many people.
Things that were impossible and even unimaginable in the past thousands of years have become a reality in just two hundred years.
And this reality is still expanding.
The changes and developments in the world are like pressing a shortcut key, and there can be new changes almost every year.
In this case, people may still be in awe of "God", but this awe can never go back to the past.
Therefore, after a leader appeared at this moment, many people really responded.
"Yes, I am more inclined to this view. If God is really omnipotent, then the war in this world should also be over."
"If it is not omnipotent, then it is not a true god."
"It is just a powerful spellcaster."
"There is no enemy in this world that cannot be solved by artillery. If there is, it only means that the power of artillery is not strong enough!"
"In any case, we can't change the glorious future of the empire just because of a "miracle" whose truth is unclear!"
"."
With these voices, some elders who were originally afraid and preferred to postpone or even stop the war were not in a good position to speak at this time.
Because war is indeed the greatest interest of the entire empire.
Unifying the entire continent is the goal of the entire empire from top to bottom.
If you say you want to give up at this time, even if you don't talk about the people in front of you, even ordinary people in the empire will probably not accept it.
"Of course, no matter who is behind this 'miracle' and what the truth is, the current situation is still unclear, so there is no need for us to act rashly." Kagali spoke again, "I have urgently sent people to get first-hand information. In addition, I am ready to create a truly tragic war. This war may not require us to take action personally, but the degree of tragedy must be achieved."
The rest of the people easily understood Kagali's purpose.
This is forcing "God" to take action.
Since God said that war is evil, if such an evil war occurs and God does not take any action, then there is no doubt that God's authority and power will be questioned by the whole world.
They have nothing to fear.
"You are really brave." An elder even sighed with a smile, "You dare to test even God. Two hundred years ago, it was unimaginable."
"But this is our empire!" Cagalli's face finally flushed a little, and her eyes shone with excitement and pride, "When we conquer the entire land, even the sea and the sky, we are gods!"
"That's right!" The other elders also straightened their chests one by one, and their hearts and eyes were filled with the same pride.
How weak they were in the past, and how powerful they are now.
Artillery fire is the greatest confidence. The miracles brought by industrial technology in these short two hundred years far exceed those of the past thousands of years!
They will be even stronger in the future!
God? The empire is the gods!
At this moment, everyone's will is unified again, and a plan emerges in the voice.
However, what they don't know is that in the conference room, a figure that is completely integrated into the air is watching them silently.
This is an eighth-level interstellar superhuman who possesses the same psychic properties as Shadow Blade.
After realizing the existence of the empire and understanding its history, Kuang Tianzhi knew that the empire would be the biggest obstacle to their complete conquest of the world.
Even the only obstacle.
In this case, he would not neglect the investigation of the empire.
He mobilized a lot of direct reconnaissance troops in the territory early, including a newly recruited intelligence hero named Qianmian.
Qianmian is not his real name, but it has become his real name.
Because this hero has the superpower of transformation.
He can turn into anything he wants to turn into at will, not just humans. If he is matched with the psychic force, he is invincible and can disguise himself as a person for a long time without being discovered.
For example, at this moment.
Among the eighteen people present, one is Qianmian in disguise.
Coupled with the personal surveillance of the reconnaissance people, it can achieve a nearly crushing effect on the civilization of this world.
In this case, Kuang Tianzhi knows all their attitudes and plans clearly.
"Very good, just keep it like this." Kuang Tianzhi said, "We can properly control and influence some people, integrate our intelligence system into it, not just the empire, but also the intelligence of other kingdoms, as much as possible."
"Understood!" The resident in charge of reconnaissance nodded, but he didn't seem to be in a hurry to leave.
Kuang Tianzhi just looked up and understood his situation.
So he stopped what he was doing and asked, "If you don't understand anything, just ask directly. Training you is also one of my jobs."
"Indeed, if the divine punishment was given when Cagalli just opened her mouth, there should be a chance to shock everyone." The resident seemed a little confused.
In his opinion, it is not difficult to control this country.
On the contrary, it is very simple.
There is no need to do anything extra, just capture them directly, and then let the people of the Psychic Force conduct one-on-one control and brainwashing, and the entire empire will fall directly into their hands.
However, this question is indeed a bit naive in Kuang Tianzhi's opinion.
"Sometimes, the quality of a plan cannot be judged by only one aspect, but by multiple aspects." Kuang Tianzhi said, "Doing so can indeed shock everyone in a short period of time, but over time, they will eventually understand that we are not omniscient and omnipotent. In addition, our goal is not to destroy, but to control for a long time. We cannot just rely on fear or spiritual power. Such rough and incomplete control will leave hidden dangers for the future. Therefore, we must give them hope, allow them to struggle, and then give them despair little by little. We must also achieve our goals in this process, for example, show the importance of industrial development, so that it will not be abrupt when we turn this world into our factory world in the future."
Kuang Tianzhi's teaching can be said to be very meticulous and patient.
In fact, this is also Shen Fei's requirement.
Although the number of heroes is increasing, it is obvious that the kingdom is still expanding. At present, it can use the Zhutian Mall to go to different worlds, future territories, or small worlds, and the demand for talents is increasing.
The requirement for the people is just to be able to fight.
Even though they were just born, their potential is not low. Over time, some truly mature talents will always emerge.
At that time, the territory will be considered to have reached another level.
The questions of the doubtful subjects were answered, and they returned to the world named "Industrial No. 1" with more thoughts.
At this time, the empire obviously did not know that everything about them was under the control of "God", and they were actively promoting their own plans.
- A cruel war.
This is actually not easy. Although wars are breaking out everywhere on the entire continent now, they are actually restrained. All kingdoms are wary of the empire and are unwilling to increase their investment easily, not to mention that at this moment, there are sudden reports of "the return of the Lord of All Things", "the appearance of the oracle", and "the God judges war as evil".
Regardless of whether these news are true or not, within a few days of the news spreading, some ongoing wars have been buffered.
This is the instinct left over from thousands of years of theocracy.
It is conceivable how difficult it is to secretly lead a war that you are not actually involved in under such circumstances.
However, the empire is the empire after all.
They had been preparing for war for a long time.
This naturally included the means laid in other kingdoms.
At this moment, they were going to directly take out one of the reserve plans that had been prepared for a long time.
Just two days later, in the western part of the continent, in a relatively poor land area, two kingdoms that had accumulated feuds for competing for water resources suddenly discovered an extremely rich iron ore on the border of their respective kingdoms!
That was iron ore!
