To study a God?
This was something that ordinary creatures couldn't imagine, including Se. Se.
Se's belief in God was no different from that of other creatures. They believed that God was omnipotent. They believed that God could take their lives at any time. They also believed that God could guide their souls. They believed that God … created them.
It was this kind of belief that persisted, until …
God did all kinds of things to them, causing some of them to be unbelievers.
Many unbelievers were killed, but this group of unbelievers was … low-key.
They called themselves researchers. This group of Se didn't do anything openly against God. They just observed from the side.
After some research, they discovered how to connect to the dream for a long time. Of course, Se didn't call that hazy world a dream. They generally called it a "double world," which meant a world that overlapped with reality but was different.
After learning how to enter the dream for a long time, they began to study all kinds of things in that world.
God didn't restrict them from entering the dream, so they were relatively free to do these things. Although they said so, generally, Se didn't do anything when they entered the dream. They just observed.
They observed all kinds of things inside and then recorded them.
Soon, they found that the black shadows wandering in the streets represented the real Se. These black shadows could be said to be their … souls.
In addition to their souls, they also found that there were some other things floating outside the city, like huge luminous objects and some things in the form of fog.
Although they could never see the sun in this dream world. The sky was hazy. But they could still see things here clearly.
And the thing that made Se the most concerned. It was the huge object that covered most of the city.
This was the thing that called itself God. It seemed to be mainly made of metal fragments. It would send out some signals from time to time.
These signals were actual language for Se. They could often "hear" in the dream. Even if it wasn't spoken to them, they could still receive it.
And this God didn't care that Se was observing it in the dream. It seemed that it didn't notice at all. So Se could study here for a long time …
They found a lot of … special things.
For example, the buildings they built.
God asked them to collect special materials to build buildings. In the dream, there would be a special color or light. For example, there was a tower-shaped building. It looked like a tall tower. It didn't look special in reality, but in the dream, it emitted a dazzling light.
These lights gathered together to form a huge pillar of light that shone directly on the god's huge body.
The other buildings didn't look any different from reality, except that there were more overlapping images and they looked very blurry. However, those specially built buildings could basically emit this kind of light.
Se was observing. He came to a conclusion.
This world was formed according to a special kind of energy, and those buildings were built with special materials. They had some sort of ability to transform dreamscape energy. They could transform one type of energy into another type of edible energy for the gods to absorb.
However, this conclusion was only a guess. After all, Se did not have any tools to detect dream energy. They came to this conclusion purely through observation.
In short, they believed that the gods were using them to provide food for themselves.
Those buildings were not 'permanent'. Se found that their light would slowly dim after a period of time.
At this time, the gods would ask them to build new buildings and throw away the original ones.
This made the researchers even more certain that the gods were using them to build buildings and provide them with food.
In the dream, Se also observed the whole process of the sacrifice. The researchers once went to the sacrifice square to observe.
They found that the souls of the Se, which were the shadows, would scatter into a large number of glowing fragments after committing suicide.
These fragments would be slowly absorbed by the gods covering the sky above the city. However, a small amount of fragments would be left behind, and these fragments would fly to another place.
Usually, they would fly to a place where a new Se was born.
At this time, the researchers also determined what their own 'life cycle' was like. It was not the same as what the gods told them.
What the gods taught them was that after their death, the gods would temporarily keep their souls, and then guide this soul to the newborn children.
At present, it seemed that the gods would eat a part of the soul.
Then, what would happen if the newborn children did not have a soul? In fact, that did not seem to happen.
Even if a newborn child did not have any fragments of soul attached to it, it would slowly produce a soul on its own. The soul of the child would be glowing at first, then it would slowly turn black. When it reached adulthood, it would be completely like a shadow.
The researchers did not know the situation here, nor did they know the specific meaning of the sacrifice. Because if the gods fed on the souls of the sacrifices, then they should not limit Se's development. In any case, the researchers believed that the sacrifice must be a conspiracy of the gods. It was using this method to do something.
In the end, they also saw how the gods killed them.
In fact, it was quite simple, because there would occasionally be some unbelievers in Se, and the gods mainly attacked these unbelievers in the dream.
The large number of fragments on Se's body would fall on the unbelievers' heads. Although it would not hurt the real Se, it would 'flatten' the soul in the dream.
Without a soul, the real body would soon die as if there was no damage.
The gods used this method to control Se.
Then it was very simple to avoid this attack. They just had to run out of the city, to a place not covered by the gods, so they would not be hit by the fragments.
After observing most of the phenomena in the dream, the researchers gathered together.
They began to discuss … how to deal with the gods.
They did not care if the gods led them to victory over their creator. They believed that the entire population of Se must find a way out, or they would always be the 'gods' … food providers.
But what should they do?
