Chapter 71 Are They Really Gods?

"Is there any connection between the Pantheon and the Jiashen Rebellion?"

Zhao Fangxu shook his head and said uncertainly: "Maybe there is, maybe not, but it is undeniable that the Pantheon was at its peak the year after the Jiashen Rebellion."

Zhao Fangxu said solemnly: "The Pantheon organization can be traced back to the first photo, which was in 1937. That was the first time they appeared and were known to the world.

"Look, the god-like figure in this photo actually exists. After all, there was no way to synthesize photos in that era. Inside the Pantheon, it is called the Yuanshen Dharma Image!"

"The Dharma image of the primordial spirit?" Xu Xiang repeated in confusion.

"Yes, in Taoist terminology, Yuanshen means soul. We later found someone to do some research on it. Yuanshen Dharma may be a universal method in the Pantheon.

It can cause a person's soul to mutate, gradually develop towards the appearance of a god, and even give rise to similar abilities, but whether this guess is accurate is still to be determined." Zhao Fangxu explained.

At this moment, Xu Xiang suddenly remembered the golden-armored monkey phantom that Zhang Xilin had displayed before his death. If he was correct, that was the so-called primordial spirit form.

However, he had no intention of reporting the news about Zhang Xilin. After all, it involved Feng Baobao, so he had to be cautious as much as possible.

He can check the related matters slowly and verify them one by one.

Xu Xiang picked up the first photo again, and his thoughts gradually came together: "A god?"

He looked at the vertical lines on the statue's forehead and asked Zhao Fangxu, "Is that Erlang Shen in this photo?"

"It's not wrong to call him Erlang Shen, but the people in the Pantheon prefer to call each other by their titles. This person should be: Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun."

"True Lord? Are there really gods in the Pantheon?"

After hearing this, Xu Xiang seemed to realize the seriousness of the matter. Although there are strange people and many strange things in this world, the existence of some gods and ghosts is also denied, and ordinary people tend to have aversion to these.

Just like the witch trials in foreign countries in the Middle Ages, there were also many actions to destroy Buddhism and suppress Taoism in Chinese history.

"god……"

Zhao Fangxu hesitated for a moment, not wanting to draw any conclusions, and continued, "After the appearance of Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun in the first photo, the Pantheon disappeared in the following years."

"At that time, some people really thought it was a miracle. After all, it was like something only God could do, killing tens of thousands of animals and keeping them out of the city gates."

"After that, the Erlang Temple in Jincheng has been visited by many people."

“It wasn’t until four or five years ago that the person in the second photo came out and officially announced the establishment of the Pantheon and did something earth-shattering.”

"What's the big deal?" Xu Xiang asked quickly.

“Seal—God!!!”

Zhao Fangxu uttered these two words very solemnly. It was hard to imagine that this calm and well-informed chairman would one day have such a solemn expression.

"?!!"

"No, you're not kidding?"

Xu Xiang was obviously a little unconvinced. What was the point of being deified?

Thousands of years ago, only the mythical Jiang Ziya had accomplished this.

Now someone tells you that when you were a child, in the same era, there was a person who actually conferred titles on all the gods. This is a joke!
The event of ascension to heaven has not happened for hundreds of years, so it is still unclear whether it is true or not.

There actually existed such a saint-like person in modern times, who accomplished such an earth-shattering thing. If it wasn't Zhao Fangxu who said this, he would have thought that he was being played a joke!

What?
Myths shining into reality?
Is this still the world I know?
"Alas!" Zhao Fangxu sighed and said helplessly: "Old Xu, I know this sounds like a joke, but don't worry, there are more outrageous things to come!"

"The Conferred God event is real. There were many people who witnessed it. This photo was also taken by some people back then. However, not many of them have been passed down. There are only a few of them in total. Now they are in our hands."

"The Pantheon is called the Pantheon because the gods of the world truly exist in this organization."

Xu Xiang frowned. He suddenly received so much information that he couldn't process it all at once and his brain seemed to be at a standstill.

Then, he tremblingly took out a piece of gum from his pocket and put it in his mouth to chew.

There was no other way. Zhao Fangxu had taken away his cigarettes before he entered the information room. If he wanted to satisfy his craving for cigarettes and force himself to calm down, he could only chew something.

After a long time.

Xu Xiang digested all this information and said, "Old Zhao, I just want to ask you one thing. Are the gods in the Pantheon still alive?"

"Although I really want to deny it, to be honest, according to the information we know, these gods are still alive, and there are still many of them alive in the world." Zhao Fangxu said earnestly.

"After decades of vicissitudes, these gods have now become the elders of various sects and the founders of the Pantheon. The influence of the Pantheon has lasted from four or five years ago to the present day."

"Also, there is another secret. You should take a look at it. After all, too much debt is better than too much trouble. You should know some of what you should know and what you shouldn't know."

As he spoke, Zhao Fangxu picked up the last notebook and handed it to Xu Xiang.

Xu Xiang slowly opened the notebook that looked a bit old, and found that this notebook was actually very close to modern times. It only looked a little old because of the frequent use and wear and tear by the owner of the notebook.

"Ninety-four?"

"And looking at the handwriting, was it you, Old Zhao, who wrote it?"

Zhao Fangxu nodded with a look of nostalgia and said, "It's my notebook. At that time, I wasn't even a director of Nadutong. I was just a member of the special team and had initial contact with the people from Pantheon."

"These notes record our various speculations and investigations on the Pantheon at the time, as well as our observations. Among them, the most noteworthy point should be this."

Zhao Fangxu turned to the last few pages of the notebook and showed them to Xu Xiang.

"Taishan, Hades, the netherworld!"

Xu Xiang pretended to be relaxed and asked, "Old Zhao, don't tell me that the Pantheon is really like a god and controls the underworld, right? That would be a big joke!"

Zhao Fangxu remained silent.

But sometimes, silence means everything.

This also made Xu Xiang depressed.

After a long time, Zhao Fangxu said in a slightly hoarse voice: "What the Pantheon revealed is just the tip of the iceberg."

"From what I understand, they even hold the power of reincarnation. Reincarnation is not just empty talk. There are countless ghosts and ghost soldiers in the netherworld. The structure of the underworld is exactly the same as in myths and legends."

“Sometimes even I have to doubt, the Pantheon, are they really gods?”

After listening to Zhao Fangxu's introduction, Xu Xiang's face looked even more gloomy. He had been exposed to too much information today.

Compared with these things, Feng Baobao's immortality doesn't seem to be that important.

Before this, it seemed as if he had never truly come into contact with the essence of the world.

Do you want to truly live?
Do you want to know the truth about the world?
