Chapter 350 The Origin of the Reborn
Since coming to Loren, Mu Hua realized that his understanding of this world was still very one-sided.
For example, he did not understand the Star Patrol Conference and was unsure of the specifics of faith and gods. Although he knew that magic silver and mithril were forging materials and that demon gold was an energy source, his understanding of their consumption was very biased.
Demons used to be like urban legends to him, witches were objects of his occasional sexual fantasies, and vampires and werewolves were ghosts from his previous life.
He knew about the King and the Shadow of the Laurel, but they were only vague concepts, and he didn't even know the existence of ghosts and gods.
At the same time, there are actually quite a few time travelers in this world. Strictly speaking, those demons that come to the human world should be considered time travelers.
There are humans in hell, but it is hard to say whether they are humans from this world.
When humans enter hell, it is like wild beasts entering a city. There are no wildlife protection regulations in hell. Whether they are captured or enslaved, killed or eaten, the situation they will face will never be good.
It is said that the First King has always wanted to lead mankind into hell. Just as the devils threw the courtyard in the human world, he also seemed to want to drag the battlefield to hell.
As for how to get to Mu Hua specifically, no one knows. Anyway, if one uses space magic to travel normally, facing the dimensional turbulence of a higher plane, humans will just be turned into a pile of rotten meat.
In addition to time travelers, there are also reincarnated people in this world, such as Odysseus, who is definitely a reserve reincarnated person.
Mu Hua could barely understand and accept all of this, but after learning from Odysseus that the reborn was also a concept that could barely be considered a rare existence, Mu Hua's brain began to freeze a little.
Rebirth and the like seem to be much more unreasonable than time travel and reincarnation, right?
"Those who are reborn usually die an untimely death, and then return to a certain point in their past lives to be resurrected."
"Of course, they cannot provide any actual evidence to prove their 'rebirth'. After all, they only have memories of the future that talk to themselves." Seeing that Mu Hua had no idea about those who were reborn, Odysseus began to talk to Mu Hua.
"Since they can foresee the future, if the future events they describe actually happen, wouldn't that be the best proof?" Mu Hua questioned.
"But the future is not set. From the moment they were reborn, the future has begun to change." Odysseus said with a smile.
“So, some people believe that the so-called reborn are favored by the gods, and the gods have given them an undesirable future in the form of dreams.”
"They can indeed foresee things that have not yet happened, but the major churches classify this foreknowledge as prophecy."
"Because those who are reborn usually experience a bad death before being reborn, the church believes that the gods sent them to humans in order to reverse that bad future."
"So the church will designate these reborn people who can predict the future as holy sons and holy daughters." Odysseus said. Only then did Mu Hua realize that his original understanding of those holy sons and holy daughters was a bit problematic.
"It's all the same, that's also very powerful. Predicting the future, if coupled with enough power support, I'm afraid the world will revolve around them." Mu Hua muttered absentmindedly.
It's hard to tell whether he's a time traveler or a reincarnated being, but he seems to be much weaker than others. At least he can't peek into the future.
"Haha, it's not as powerful as you think." Odysseus laughed.
"What? Didn't they say that the future will change? Or is it difficult to reverse?" Mu Hua frowned.
"That's not the case. It's just that the world is so big. How many things can those who died in vain in the future experience? How many people can they come into contact with?"
"They usually only know about people and things related to themselves, and at most some major events that can be foreseen without their knowledge." Odysseus shook his head, and Mu Hua suddenly realized something while thinking about it.
Indeed, human energy is limited. With birth, growth, reproduction, and aging, how many things can we experience and remember in our lifetime?
Maybe you will end your life in mediocrity revolving around work and family, maybe you will experience an ongoing business war between several companies, or maybe you will make a group of good friends and hunt monsters.
Even if one is busy in the political arena, how many people and events can one experience in a lifetime? Not to mention the impact on the world. After all, even for those politicians who are remembered by people for a long time, how many years can their policies affect the outside world?
Five years? Ten years? Any longer than that is basically nonsense. It is either beneficial to spread their praises, or someone needs them to carry the bag, or even simply respect and praise them. The probability is actually not high.
The previous wave will inevitably be beaten to death on the beach, leaving a mark, and it will only leave if it is beneficial to the next wave. And more importantly, how can the so-called major events that affect the world pattern happen suddenly? Do you really think that the consultants and think tanks from all walks of life are just for show?
Not to mention man-made events, even natural disasters probably have people who can foresee them, even if they are not reborn.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that those so-called saints and saintesses are not that exaggerated. They can barely be considered as being content with a small fortune, while being extremely rich will lead to death?
What's more, there are countless courtyards in this world, and mastering the dynamics of one courtyard would probably be enough to consume someone's entire life.
Perhaps we can regard those reborn people as the protagonists of a certain film? It's wonderful, but if you look closely, there are only a few supporting roles and a few passers-by who can be directly affected by them.
"Besides, it's not that the future is difficult to change, on the contrary, it's that prophecies are too easy to change." Odysseus shook his head.
"The future predicted by those who have been reborn is very prone to deviations. It's the butterfly effect. Even if we don't mention the future that has been changed because of them, in their predictions about their own life trajectories, there are often people and events that shouldn't exist."
"They call those people and events 'fate singularities'. It is precisely because of the existence of these fate singularities that many people do not believe that they have experienced rebirth, but instead regard them as a group of people who have gained the ability to predict the future."
"Maybe it is a kind of inherent magic with a certain universality?" Odysseus said again.
Well, not counting the butterfly wings, there are also people who mess up the plot? What are the reborn people most afraid of? Not the boss, not the mastermind, definitely the intruder!!!
If those singularities of destiny really exist, it is no wonder that others would question their rebirth.
After Odysseus' explanation, Mu Hua only felt that the status of these reborn people was declining again and again, and the image of a group of scratching their heads and salted fish filled Mu Hua's sense of déjà vu.
Sure enough, in addition to being born into a good family, life also depends on a golden finger.
"You mean that Lin Feng might be a reborn person, and you can't confirm it?" The big boss in his mind turned into a special group of people who could provide special sources of intelligence. Mu Hua's awe was completely gone.
Look at them, the Son of God, the Holy Daughter, these reborn people are just mascots in the hands of powerful forces.
"There's no way. I'm relatively marginalized in the Hall of Samsara, and I have no access to any information about the Son of God. The church only told me to take good care of him. You may not know that the Hall of Samsara generally only takes care of people who are about to die." Odysseus spread his hands.
"Is the Hall of Samsara very powerful?" Mu Hua pondered. Odysseus had the ability and his status was at least somewhat well-known in Loren. Even he was marginalized. Mu Hua could not estimate the strength of the Hall of Samsara for a while.
"Powerful? Ha, do you know what reincarnation fears the most? We fear continuous death before our souls mature. That will cause us to lose our memories, and one day we might really think we are a slug."
"Let me tell you, there are cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, pigs, sheep, cows, and horses in the Samsara Palace. Fuck, I've even seen a few goldfish kept in fish tanks."
"It was because of seeing those things that I was so worried when Tamara got into trouble earlier." Odysseus laughed strangely, and Mu Hua was speechless for a while.
Well, he forgot that the reincarnation of people who signed the sharing contract is random, and the origin of human beings makes it impossible for humans to reincarnate into monsters, and it is not certain whether they will be human in the next life...
"The Samsara Hall should be relatively wealthy. After all, the believers are people who want to live for several lifetimes with their memories."
"They have methods to find reincarnated people, and they are relatively united internally. Most of the believers are more worried about their own reincarnation."
"If someone has signed a contract with the devil, the church will gather believers and find a way to get rid of the devil."
"But they should have really contacted a certain god. The god of fate, Amra, may be real, and there should be some powerful people in the Hall of Samsara." Odysseus explained.
Odysseus was worried that he was going to die, so he was more obedient in the Hall of Samsara. However, the class division of believers in the Hall of Samsara was a bit strange, and believers who had not been reincarnated were not taken seriously.
Now, Odysseus is probably free from the threat of reincarnation for the time being, and he comments on the various things in the Samsara Palace without much piety.
Obviously, Odysseus is also a guy who will only look for the coffin lid when he is about to die.
