Chapter 334: Holy Scripture

"The world is full of hardship; mortals all suffer. Relying on others or the gods for salvation is unreliable; only one can save oneself. If you long for light, you may also join our cause, struggle with your own hands, transform this world, and make it better."

"Struggle is long, the future is bright, but the path is winding. In this process, we should seize the time to enjoy every moment of joy."

"Entertainment activities such as drama, chess, and songs can bring joy and also spread our ideal of longing for light. We should use culture and entertainment as a means of propagation to widely disseminate our thoughts and doctrines."

After waking, Li En sat before his desk and silently wrote down these words.

Li En had already received the doctrines of the "Lord of Drama and Joy" from the god, but he did not use them directly.

The same words, after being interpreted by different people, become completely different things. When it comes to something like "doctrines," Li En must firmly grasp the right to interpret the scriptures in his own hands.

He could wait for the heirs of the Heroic Soul Gods to appear; among them, there should be outstanding "religious talents."

If he negotiated with them, the doctrines might be more complete and better suited for this era, but Li En could not accept a new god's doctrines that did not align with his own "worldview."

He would let professionals review this "Holy Scripture," even making certain minor adjustments, but the core ideas would not change.

To him, gods are always tools and banners. It is only when they truly come alive and truly have "One's thought" that it becomes a headache. If it ever reached that point, Li En would rather they did not exist.

"... Respect every life; everyone should have the permission to pursue sunlight and enjoy joy."

Black ink flowed quickly across the page, and on this thick, blank book, a faint Jin Guang began to bloom.

Perhaps the power of the sacred began to pour into it, seeping into the ink and brushstrokes, turning the black characters into gold.

Li En was writing the god's "Holy Scripture," yet it was not merely a scripture.

"Voom!"

In the void, something was reorganizing.

Within a plane of the void, inside a certain vast "continent," a small portion was actively torn and separated.

It was not large, perhaps only about 1%, yet it possessed power sufficient to distort reality.

He, or it, or perhaps It, was constantly "reshaping."

With every character Li En wrote, new content was also written into Its core.

This was akin to a computing base allocating a few percent of its computing power and several machines to form a virtual machine, beginning to operate as an independent "computing center" for data verification.

At this moment, it could truly be called the birth of a new god.

However, considering it possessed no self and was merely a fake god virtualized by massive "computing power," perhaps "flashing" would be a more fitting term.

Other gods choose popes who share their interests based on their own needs and bestow the Divine Scripture. Here, the "pope" writes whatever they wish; once the scripture is compiled, the god corrects itself, forcibly achieving "shared interests."

Li En did not know what this meant. The prerequisite for accomplishing all this was the immense power to treat a god as a doll.

This, perhaps, was the strength of the Third Seat of the Gate, one of the oldest guardians, the Thousand-Faced Dragon.

And this investment was destined to yield several times the return. If this fake god truly strengthened alongside Li En's rise, perhaps this "computing power investment" of less than 1% would yield a return exceeding 5%, and it might even give birth to a new "computing center (part of the system)."

"... To obtain sunlight and joy, when necessary, we must take up the sword."

When he wrote this, Li En found he could no longer continue.

It was not that the "computing power" had reached its limit, but rather that as the god of "culture and sunlight," adding doctrines about resistance when necessary was already the limit.
