Chapter 58 Faith and Deification
Chapter 58 Faith and Deification
With a sympathetic pat on the shoulder, Lee from Game of Thrones sighed:
"It's easy to cause trouble for Aunt May; she's just an old witch who knows a bit of magic."
We may not know magic, but there are actually many ways to kill her.
However, there's really no way to cause trouble for the Lord of Light, Rahlo.
After all, R'hllor, the Lord of Light, is a true god who has clearly demonstrated miracles on numerous occasions.
Upon hearing this, Lee's heart sank.
Although the Game of Thrones world appears to be a micro-magical world with very weak magical power, it is not even comparable to the Harry Potter world.
But no matter what, it is a fact that there is magical power and gods in this world.
Those spells are one thing, but who knows just how powerful these gods are, or how terrifying they can be when they unleash their fury?
To try and cause trouble for the Lord of Light, R'hllor, as a mere mortal is like an old man eating poison—it's suicide!
However, at this time, the martial arts hero Li Ke was concerned about the recent large-scale construction of temples by the people to commemorate his story with Chi You.
I had a lot on my mind, so I tentatively asked:
Do you still remember the story of the Faceless Man and the Thousand-Faced God?
"The story of the Faceless Man and the Thousand-Faced God?"
Li Ke from Demon Slayer and Game of Thrones was slightly taken aback, then recalled the story of No-Face and the Thousand-Faced God.
In the world of Game of Thrones, there are many gods, and R'hllor, the Lord of Light, is one of them who frequently performs miracles, clearly proving his existence.
Among them, besides Rahlo, the Lord of Light, a god symbolizing light, life, and fire.
There are actually other deities who have clearly demonstrated miracles, proving their real existence.
They are the Old Gods, and the Children of the Forest, the First Men, and the People of the North are the main believers in the Old Gods.
The second person to demonstrate his divine power was the Thousand-Faced God, and the assassin organization, the Faceless Ones, were the main believers in the Thousand-Faced God.
After that, the god of cold, awakened by the Children of the Forest when they created the first White Walkers, was also the mortal enemy of R'hllor, the Lord of Light.
In addition, there are gods in the original work who have not explicitly shown miracles but may actually exist.
They are the horse god, the drowning god, the seven gods, the storm god, the great shepherd god, and the Valyrian gods...
Among these deities, the story of the Faceless Man and the Thousand-Faced God is the most magical and chilling upon closer examination.
This is simply because compared to ancient gods such as the King of Light, the God of Cold, and the Old Gods, who have lived for countless years.
The God of a Thousand Faces is actually the youngest deity, after all, the earliest records of the God of a Thousand Faces are only a few thousand years old.
The earliest record comes from the depths of the mines of Valyrian Freehold, where slaves from all over the world mined minerals.
These slaves from all over the world had different races, cultures, and gods they worshipped.
Among them, they all share a common desire: to be liberated, even if that liberation means death.
After all, being a slave and mining minerals in the mines was a living hell, with absolutely no hope in sight.
Rather than living such a painful life, it's better to die.
But their prayers for relief do not mean that the gods will respond to them, so in their despair, they naturally overthink things.
Among them, the first Faceless One, Ryūjō, attained enlightenment, realizing that although they came from different places, the gods they worshipped were different.
But in reality, the god they worshipped was always the same god, and they considered death a blessing.
Thus, the belief in the Thousand-Faced God arose, and then it spread rapidly throughout the mines.
After that, the Faceless Ones gained amazing abilities, such as using spells, special potions, and magic.
They can quickly change their facial features, voice, and even body shape to impersonate others and complete assassination missions.
The high-ranking Faceless Man, Jaqen H'ghar, can even change his face in an instant, which is nothing short of amazing.
With this ability, the Faceless Ones naturally became the most powerful assassins in the world, a tradition that has been passed down for thousands of years.
If you delve into the story of the Faceless Ones and the Faceless Gods, you'll discover something truly chilling.
This is the place where the God of a Thousand Faces came from.
Why was there no Thousand-Faced God before this? Why did the Thousand-Faced God appear after the first Faceless Ones?
"You mean the deification of people through belief?"
Lee said thoughtfully.
"That's right."
Wuxia Li Ke nodded slightly, then said:
"Among these types of deities, there are those who are naturally divine and holy."
There are also gods who cultivate themselves to become gods, gods who are born from the mating of gods, and gods who become gods through faith and enshrinement.
I suspect that this thousand-faced god is a deity who became a god through faith!
Upon hearing this, Li Ke from Demon Slayer and Game of Thrones fell into deep thought, then nodded slightly, feeling that this possibility was quite high.
This is simply because compared to the gods in myths and legends who can pluck stars from the sky and seize the moon, and who can destroy the world and humanity at will, this is a far cry from the gods in myths and legends.
The divine miracles performed by the gods in the Game of Thrones world are far inferior.
This situation, where a deity's divine abilities are surprisingly underwhelming, is very similar to the kind of god Li Ke believes in.
After all, the god of faith is the weakest deity in the pantheon.
The power of this faith in God comes from believers, and its strength depends on the number of believers and the sincerity of their faith.
At the same time, it also faces drawbacks such as the toxicity of incense worship, making it arguably the worst type of deity.
However, no matter what, even if a god of faith is weak and troubled by the poison of incense worship, it is not something that mortals can provoke.
Because gods are gods after all, they can use the power of laws, and if they really want to kill someone, there are countless ways to do so.
Moreover, many of the gods in the Game of Thrones universe possess prophetic abilities.
They've practically turned on their precognitive abilities; how are you supposed to win?
Thinking of this, the expression on Wuxia Li Ke's face became even more solemn.
"I think you're in big trouble. The Lord of Light, R'hllor, has the ability to prophesy, and the series has shown many prophetic miracles."
If you want to cause trouble for R'hllor, the Lord of Light, he can definitely foresee the future through his prophetic abilities.
So even if you hide it very well now and don't reveal your murderous intent towards the Lord of Light, R'hllor, it doesn't mean you can hide it forever.
If you ever make a move against the Lord of Light, Rahlo, He can use His prophetic abilities to foresee the future.
So when you return to the Game of Thrones world, you'll likely face the hostility of R'hllor, the Lord of Light, and might even have to endure his powerful blows!
Upon hearing this, both Demon Slayer and Game of Thrones Lee fell into deep thought, their hearts heavy.
For a god with prophetic abilities, no matter how much he hides his hostility or his murderous intent, it is useless.
Unless he completely gives up on revenge and chooses to become a coward, find a place to hide, and never cause trouble again.
Otherwise, it will definitely attract the attention of Raholo, the Lord of Light, and then you will be met with a heavy blow from him!
Thinking of all this, a resolute glint flashed in Lee's eyes.
"Fuck you, Lord of Light R'hllor! You think you can make me a coward? Don't even think about it!"
"So what if you're a god? I'll become a god too, and bring you down!"
