Gods Vanish on a Cloudy Day
Shen Gao
I'll state in advance that I've already written most of the next chapter and will post it later. The main reason I'm posting this single chapter now is that I saw a lot of inexplicable replies in the chapter comments, and I felt very upset. I wouldn't have the energy to update if I didn't say something.
First of all, the Water God's massacre of the city was not incidental, but deliberate. It's true that the Nai'ser City only caused a flood, but that's mainly because the Labyrinth Great Temple is underneath. If they find it, they can restore their power, so there's no need to waste energy for the time being. After regaining their power, they will still kill. I described it in the original text. They don't think this is a massacre either, it's just killing chickens and cows.
Is this evil? You can judge for yourself. I'm too lazy to explain. There are even people who think the Whale God was just passing by and killing people casually. Friend, do you think the original text I wrote doesn't exist?
Some people also say that Su Zhou judges the good and evil of the Water People based on subjective divine powers—I don't think this statement is appropriate.
After Su Zhou came to this world, he was first robbed by bandits hired by the Water God's followers, and then he saw the Water God's followers interrogating civilians, even killing children. Then, the Water God sent news of the city's massacre, and almost flooded the city where Su Zhou used to live, where he had several acquaintances (Nai'ser City).
He saw with his own eyes that the other party was going to massacre the city, and the evidence was irrefutable. Yet some people say that Su Zhou had no reason to take action, that Su Zhou's judgment of the Water People's good and evil relied on the devouring demon lord's divine power, and that this matter had nothing to do with him—let me just say this, if it were any other starting point protagonist, the Water God's side would have had their ashes burned into pencil leads, and even the pencil shavings would have been burned. To say that this has nothing to do with him, it could be said that Su Zhou is kindhearted for not slaughtering the entire Water People.
I would like to reiterate that, as far as Su Zhou is concerned, race is bullshit. If humans were slaughtering the Water People, you think he wouldn't kill people? The thugs who commit massacres are not human beings at all. To equate massacre with 'continuing the race' is utter nonsense. It's a shortcut, but it's definitely not the right choice.
In the previous volume, I wrote a volume about the views on race in the transcendent world. Surprisingly, some people still think that Su Zhou is helping the Earth People because the Earth People are human. In the previous chapter, I clearly said that Su Zhou's fight with the Water God was not because the other party was a fish person and the Earth People were human, nor was it because Elias and the others were acquaintances. These reasons are simply impossible to be the reasons for Su Zhou's desperate fight. He is simply acting because of the reason: 'The weak are bullied, women and children are slaughtered, and someone is suffering, I cannot turn a blind eye.'
I'm just too lazy to write a non-human race that doesn't look like humans at all as the Earth People, which would make the theme of this volume even more complicated.
If the Water God massacres the city, he will kill the Water God. If reincarnation is evil, he will break reincarnation. These are not in conflict, and he also said before, since there is a right choice, why not do it?
And that's what the next chapter will be about.
Although I know that everyone on the internet sweeps through quickly and no one will read carefully, and I don't think what I write is so sophisticated that everyone can scrutinize it word by word, when you post comments, please think about what was written in the previous text, otherwise some people will abandon the book because of the poisonous points, but they are just setting up a target and hitting the air, then I am wronged.
