Chapter 56 The soul born of books

"Of course it was born because of books." Ketria did not hide too much this time, and replied directly: "Books have become the carrier of our stories. The more people you see, the more people you know us, the more people you like us, and the more people you will hope that we will always exist, so we will really exist."

"This method... seems very familiar." Panis rubbed his chin and said in a deep thought: "In addition to those ancient primitive gods, there is a part of the regular gods that seem to be born in this way."

"I didn't say that." Ketria narrowed her eyes and smiled, with the cunning and mystery unique to the clergy: "You said these things, but you dare to say such words. This is disrespect to the gods. Be careful to be punished by God."

"Hey, hey, it's too much." Panis rolled his eyes with a headache and said, "How could he shirk responsibility like this?"

"Hehe, just a joke." Ketria smiled happily with her lips pursed and said, "However, our birth is indeed the reason. Therefore, although the form of our existence is different from that of the gods, from a certain perspective, we are actually similar to some gods, but we are far weaker than gods, because what made us born is not faith, but affirmation and wish. The difference between the two before is too great, so we cannot reach the height of the gods."

"So that is to say, you who have existed have been awakened again after death?" Panis asked in confusion: "This has already crossed the boundary between life and death."

"You are wrong. We are not reawakened. The hope in your heart is destined to be lost." Ketria shook his head and said, "We are not the person who has actually existed. We are just using that person as the prototype and reborn from people's affirmation. In essence, it has nothing to do with the prototype. Therefore, it is impossible to use this method to awaken the person you want to awaken. Even if it is awakened, she is no longer her. And do you think this is easy? Have you found that each of our existence was born in books with a history of thousands of years? Why do you think it is? It is because our birth will take a long time to transform, and there is also a high probability of failure, that is, a certain amount of luck."

"I didn't think about reawakening anyone. I was just curious." Panis turned his head and muttered awkwardly, but continued to ask: "But, when the elf priest Ms. Tifa saw Flar, he once said a string of numbers to her. That's what only the real Tifa knows. Since he has that part of his memory, how can he say that he is not the original person?"

"Even if she retains the unique memory, it is still no longer her, because that is only a person who affirms us. 'think' she should know that, so she knows. People's will is actually very strong, strong enough to create us out of thin air." Ketria explained patiently: "Like Diana, she still remembers the appearance of her hometown, and the names of every direct subordinate she once belonged to, but is that really her memory? No, it's just that people think she should know this, so she knows it. But in a real world, do we really remember those? What is our true character? Does Isabella really devour the soul? Did the blood girl really eat the flesh and blood of the enemy? Did I really have no complaints when I sacrificed my life for the God of Light? Then no one knows, including us."

"That's a problem." Panis asked, thinking, "Based on your story or novel, people think you are like, so you are like, right, but what if people have conflicts in their perceptions? For example... forget it. For example, Isabella, some people think she was just smeared because of political struggles, but some people think that maybe it's not smearing, but she really can't devour the soul. Two Isabellas can't appear."

"Do you know how much effort I have used to soothe her and didn't let her come out to bite you? Why can you use various methods to provoke others to hit you when talking about such serious things?" Ketria sighed helplessly and shook her head helplessly and explained: "So, the regular gods born because of people's beliefs also have the same problem. In fact, the answer is very simple. When we are born, there will be an automatic correction process for all cognitive contradictions, which will take the cognitive cognition of one side as the truth, and the cognition of a few people will be automatically abandoned. If the cognition of the two or several sides is not much different, and there is no absolute majority dominant, then the laws of the world will choose one of them based on some rules that mortals and even gods cannot understand, thereby promoting the birth of the gods."

"That's right." Panis nodded, "Theoretically, the gods born from faith do do this."

"But we are not so lucky." Ketria sighed and said, "The first part is that if we have the dominant cognition, we will be born as smoothly as a god. But the second part is that if there is no dominant cognition and several cognitions are contradictory, haha, why do you think I just said that our birth has a success rate? We are not gods, and the laws of the world will not compromise for us."

"Sorry." Feeling Kateria's pity for those who have disappeared before they appeared, Panis could only use an apology to express his comfort. Kateria smiled and shook her head and said, "It's nothing, I just feel a little regretful."

"What if there were a few people who created different personalities and images based on you as the prototype?" Panis asked, and he smiled bitterly and patted his head and said, "It's so stupid, it must be based on the dominant one."

"Ha, that's right." Ketria smiled and patted Panis on the head, "It's indeed a stupid child."
