Deceitful Game

Chapter 293 The Five Elements of God

"Besides these, what other magical artifacts are there?"

Mingpo asked, "And the God of Strength and the God of Wisdom, right?"

"The divine artifact of the God of Wisdom is the Eight Trigrams of Fuxi. However, this artifact was torn apart, and you must know a part of it..." Gao Fan said slowly, "That is the [Heavenly Questions]."

"Is Tianwen a divine artifact?"

Mingpo paused for a moment, but immediately realized that it was indeed reasonable.

Because it was controlled by different people in different timelines, but its name and abilities were the same.

Paradox technology has advanced significantly, yet Tianwen remains a black box. One of the eight giants is specifically designed to control Tianwen… This alone proves that Tianwen is a unique entity. At least its terminal is unique and cannot be replicated. "Yes, the complete version of the Fuxi Pre-Heaven Bagua should be able to see the past, present, and future simultaneously, making it truly omniscient. However, its ability to see the future has been maliciously removed, so it can only see the present and the past."

"And what about the divine weapon of power? Which god is that?"

Mingpo asked, "Is it Pangu?"

"No, it's the Holy Grail."

Gao Fan shook his head: "Brother, you still haven't grasped the essence of the Domain of Power..."

"...Oh, I understand."

Mingpo realized what was going on: "Actually, it's 'conquest' or 'victory'?"

Jehovah, the God of Hosts... so this is what his [power] is.

"If that's the case..."

Mingpo realized something else: "Could it be that the five major areas don't actually mean what we see? How is that possible? Is it a translation problem?"

"It's less a translation issue..."

Gao Fan thought for a moment and said, "It's more accurate to say it's been contaminated."

"……pollute?"

Mingpo never expected that Gao Fan would bring up this word.

What exactly did they experience during that world war?

He felt like he'd missed at least a season of the story compared to his two companions, and now they were like spoilers, relentlessly giving him, the local, all the spoilers...

But they clearly don't know much either, and now they speak mostly by guessing and inference.

If the essence of the realm of "power" is actually victory, and the essence of the realm of "intelligence" is actually "omniscience"...

What does the Realm of Balance mean?

Mingbo fell into deep thought.

The realm of balance is the most mediocre and the most versatile realm.

Any charlatan who cannot be categorized into other fields is essentially a charlatan in the field of balance.

From this perspective, the Realm of Balance is actually the realm with the most abilities, and those who deceive the world within the Realm of Balance are also the deceitful ones capable of the most. Perhaps… it is actually [omnipotent]?

"Omniscience, omnipotence, victory... and the realm of virtue and the realm of slaughter."

Mingpo murmured softly, "This seems to be..."

He felt that this looked familiar more and more.

"If we consider the Domain of Virtue as 'compassion,' 'salvation,' 'sacrifice,' or 'resurrection'... then the Domain of Slaughter should be what Mingpo suddenly realized."

His previous lack of clarity regarding the location of the Slaughter Domain was largely due to interference from the Dionysian Cabinet.

He once thought the Realm of Slaughter actually represented the Dionysian spirit, symbolizing revelry, rebellion, instinct, and the challenge and transcendence of order. But now…

When Mingpo harmonized the four-in-one title, he obtained a domain called [Forbidden]. That power instilled in Mingpo an instinctive fear, as if its release could lead to the destruction of the world.

If we say that "Slaughter" is actually a corrupted realm, then "Taboo" is a name closer to the truth.

What it signifies might be...

"Ragnarok?"

Mingpo murmured softly.

The color of the Slaughter Domain is dim yellow, and there is a special kind of being capable of destroying the world called the [Twilight Species]. They may be things of the same origin.

If the Realm of Slaughter is Ragnarok, then its concept is very likely "destruction," "end of the world," or "apocalypse"! That's why the deceivers of the Realm of Slaughter emphasize the ability to kill, create chaos, and instill despair!

The Domain of Power and the Domain of Slaughter look very similar at low levels, but the difference becomes obvious at higher levels.

"Omniscient, omnipotent, invincible, merciful savior, the end of the world..."

Mingpo suddenly realized: "I understand!"

"Whether it's called five major areas, five major paths, or five major routes... it doesn't matter what it's called."

"In essence, they are the 'five elements of God'!"

God must be omniscient, knowing everything that has happened in the past, present, and future;

God must be omnipotent and must be able to do whatever the pool wants to do;

God must be invincible, and no one should be able to challenge God's position;

God must be merciful and radiant, and must be able to unite people around the pool;

God must be able to bring destruction in order to explain the end of everything.

Not all gods possess all five elements simultaneously… In most mythologies, these elements are distributed among different deities. But generally speaking, the basic elements are fixed.

That's why they are called divine artifacts and given the name of a god!

It's not that these gods actually existed in the past, nor that they were deceivers or hosts of the past... No, that's not impossible either.

But most importantly, this means that the game of deception is actually a "test to become a god".

No wonder you can become a god by passing the so-called final test!

The leader of the Noble Blood Society who passed the final test was called a "demigod".

Mingpo initially thought it was just an exaggerated way of saying that the person was very strong.

Now it seems that he really is a "demigod"!

Although he didn't know why he didn't become a complete god, but...

"No wonder, charlatans can usurp the authority of gods; the power of time's chips possesses a greatness that only gods can wield..."

Mingpo felt everything was going smoothly: "If the game of deception hadn't expanded to this scale..."

It should actually be a cult game that's popular on a small scale!

The God used to select the new world!

The mutual annexation of ancient myths may very well be an example of deceitful individuals from different fields attacking each other.

For example, the conflict between Gonggong and Zhurong, the contradiction between Jehovah and Baal...

In primitive societies, it's quite possible that the high-ranking figures within a tribe were actually the "gods" protecting the tribe. And the closer they got to the top, the closer they became to the true god!

Sun Wukong rewriting the Book of Life and Death might be an allusion to how he altered the fates of his friends through his deceptive games; Joan of Arc, who could hear divine revelations, might be a deceitful figure like Gao Fan, possessing the prefix "lucky" in her title!

And those divine children and demigods who were reincarnations of "gods in human form"...

It's possible that they really are "reincarnated" gods!

Because they had come into contact with the artifact, they have the possibility of retaining their memories in the next cycle of reincarnation.

They retain the ability to create miracles, but they do not possess omnipotent divine power.

Because they are probably like Ai Shiping and Gao Fan, who retained their memories and some of the abilities of the Deceiver, but did not regain all the permissions like Ming Po did.

But in doing so, Mingper also realized something else.

The difficulty of ending the game of deception...

It might be even higher than he imagined.

If the myths of all human civilization in the past were built on deceptive games...

To end the deceptive game, we must transcend the entire Age of Gods!
