The crowd made a ruckus for a while, but in the end, they did not harass the King excessively.
However, they still cast envious and yearning looks at him from time to time.
However, Chu Lin and Catherine didn't stay far away from them. Instead, they blended in and found some people to chat with, quickly obtaining information about this world.
Shen Yi, on the other hand, stood at the front of the deck.
Probably because he had stood on the main ship of the Clove for a long time, he still liked this kind of place.
The breeze was gentle, the view was wide, and even the mood was very pleasant.
No one dared to disturb him.
After a few hours, Chu Lin and Catherine returned to his side.
"How is it? It seems that you have understood this world well enough. "Shen Yi smiled.
"Yes." Chu Lin's expression was still somewhat emotional. "They have indeed forgotten their true identities and the truth of this world. The history that everyone knows only extends to five hundred years ago. They believe that God created them and this world five hundred years ago. God is omnipresent and protects them so that they can be resurrected after death and avoid the pain caused by illness and pain …"
This was also why they only respected Shen Yi and did not fear him, even though he was far more powerful than them.
In this world, there was only one way for people to die.
That was to die of old age.
In their words, it was to return everything to the Lord of All Things.
In addition, even if they were attacked by wild beasts and killed by others, they would still be resurrected at the resurrection point in their ancestral home.
Of course, they would also be punished. Not only would they have to pay a large sum of money, but their privilege level would also drop by one. Otherwise, their soul would always wander in a place called the Underworld.
More importantly, they could choose their own level of neuralgia.
At the lowest level, even if they were killed by a thousand cuts, they would only feel like they were bitten by mosquitoes.
This also led to the fact that it was difficult for those in a higher position to torture those in a lower position.
Even if a commoner offended the most powerful person, the worst that could happen was to stay in the Underworld.
This was to be expected. After all, the entire world could be seen as a game. So what if the conflict in the game was huge? If it could threaten their lives, then it would be a game of death, and it would go against the original intention of humans to enter this world.
However …
Nowadays, humans had already forgotten the fact that this world was just a virtual world. They treated it as the real world and everything was a gift from "God".
"Any ideas?" Shen Yi asked again.
His tone was casual, as if it was a discussion between friends.
However, everyone knew that this was actually a test for Chu Lin and Catherine.
Faced with this problem, the two of them were obviously much more cautious.
In the end, it was Kathlyn who spoke first. "A mere five hundred years isn't enough for billions of people to collectively forget their origins. This can only mean one thing — the first generation of humans who entered this world had collectively fabricated the lie of 'God' to allow humans to settle down in this world eternally, generation after generation … I'm guessing that they must have used some special means back then, such as forcefully restricting the relevant language, which should be possible in the virtual world."
Shen Yi nodded slightly, seemingly agreeing with this conjecture.
Because the humans in this world did indeed do that.
Kathlyn and the others were still unable to see the past with their strength, but Shen Yi could see it.
Five hundred years ago, the highest political power of humans made the decision to stay in the virtual world permanently. In order to prevent some people from finding a way to leave the virtual world and then causing damage to the automated system of the real world, they fabricated the existence of "God" and supervised everyone, forbidding them from passing on the truth to future generations.
That was why it became the current situation.
"In addition, although they constantly talk about the 'Lord of All Things', in reality, they don't believe in God." Kathlyn continued, "This seems to be because there are no doctrines. Everyone knows that God has bestowed everything to humans, but God doesn't have any requirements for humans. There are no rules and teachings that a normal religion would have. Thus, it would be difficult to mobilize humans in the name of God … Even the nobles with special privileges don't have such charisma."
In the end, she couldn't help but sigh.
To save the humanity of this world, the difficulty was still in mobilization.
They needed to persuade humans to leave this beautiful fake world.
It was difficult to move forward in the real world that was not beautiful at all.
And if people had faith in God, this would be much easier.
But it was a pity.
People worshipped God, and people with high privileges, but they didn't follow them. It was like a normal person facing the world's richest man who started from scratch. When they met, they would be excited, worship, and respect him, but they wouldn't follow him, and they wouldn't blindly do whatever he told them to do.
"There is one more thing that is worse." Chu Lin suddenly interrupted. "That is the education of this world. I have learned a little about it. It is terrible, abnormally messy, and has almost no effect on the development of civilization."
"Yes!" Kathlyn also reacted and couldn't help but complain. "A young man asked me for advice on how to use a one-handed sword skill, but this is completely game content. According to him, fighting monsters is an important part of the Trial of God."
Although to the people of this world, this was the real world in their eyes.
Skills were also things that could improve one's strength.
But this world was fake.
What they studied day and night was only the content of the game.
This was indeed terrible.
Because this meant that the human civilization of this world had seriously regressed in the most important technological development.
People no longer studied science, and they didn't even know the most basic scientific concepts.
It was equivalent to the whole nation being an internet addict.
However, no matter how good you were at playing games, what was the use of coming to the real world?
In a world without psionic power like this, the future of human civilization lay in knowledge, and the future of knowledge lay in a healthy development of the education system, and in scholars who walked at the forefront of knowledge one after another.
From this point of view, this civilization had been crippled, and it was only a matter of time before it went extinct.
Therefore, Chu Lin and Kathlyn's hearts were a little heavy at this time.
In the great hall of the Kingdom of God, there was also silence.
The situation of this world was worse than they expected.
Shen Yi took in their reactions.
"Why, do you feel like you don't know where to start?"
His voice was as gentle as ever, as if there was a magical power that made Chu Lin and Kathlyn's furrowed brows relax again.
Because they reacted.
This time, the president was personally leading the team.
