If you become a monster, you will succeed

Chapter 598 Garbage Bull [Beep——]!

"tortuous?"

Feng Xue pointedly repeated Qing Xingdeng's words. Qing Xingdeng probably understood what Feng Xue meant, so he explained:

"I am one of the earliest Wus in Infinite City. When I appeared in Infinite City, there was no Tower of Babel. In other words, the Tower of Babel slowly grew into what it is now under my watch, so I will know Something more secretive.”

Qing Xingdeng's words fell, and Feng Xue realized that because of his young appearance and Qing Xingdeng himself did not have an ancient and powerful position in the Eastern Kingdom's ghost stories, he had always ignored that these hundreds of stories were his own. The earliest organization that has been entrenched here since the emergence of Infinite City.

As the core of Hyakumonogatari, Qingxing Lantern's status in Infinite City may be far older than he imagined.

Seeing that Feng Xue recognized her words, Qing Xingdeng did not continue, but changed the topic:

"You know? When I appeared in Infinite City, people here still spoke different languages."

"Different languages..." Feng Xue chewed on this statement, and couldn't help but think of the Tower of Babylon in the Old Testament of the Bible, and slowly frowned:

"You wouldn't say that this Tower of Babel is the legendary one..."

"Absolutely." Qing Xingdeng threw out an ambiguous statement and explained before Feng Xue asked:

"At the very beginning of Infinite City, it was a garbage dump that continuously accepted all kinds of garbage. But garbage is also divided into categories. In mythology, the Tower of Babel was destroyed by God, and the common language was abandoned by God. , in a sense, it can be considered garbage.”

"But this is a fairy tale, right? If it is a ghost story based on this story... Oh, you mean that the Tower of Babel has labels like [garbage] and [waste]?" Feng Xue originally wanted to say that this level of fantasy Things should never be treated as rubbish, but when I thought of my golden finger, I immediately reacted.

Qing Xingdeng was very satisfied with Feng Xue's understanding. He put aside the manuscript he originally planned to explain and continued:

"I remember that in the 1970s and 1980s, a piece of debris that could be called the "Tower of Babel" appeared in the landfill east of Infinite City, which is now Dongshan District, but it wasn't there at that time. The garbage mountain is similar to the garbage dump in the ordinary landfill, except that it is larger.

“Although everyone wanted to take it as their own, it was too big, so everyone gave up after trying and finding that they couldn’t transport it out of the dump.

"You also know the decomposition ability in the garbage dump. After the garbage day, the remaining tower with only one foundation was decomposed by Infinite City. At that time, everyone thought that the matter was over, but three days later, Babylon All the strange stories in the tower have a common language, and the central main control building in the residential area has become the current Tower of Babel.”

"In other words, Infinite City picked up [garbage], picked up the Tower of Babel, and then swallowed it? Isn't this garbage-picking ability too strong?"

Feng Xue grinned, and a bag of salt appeared unconsciously in his hand. Qing Xingdeng rolled his eyes in a rare move and sighed:

"Actually, if you stay in Infinite City for a long time, you will know that there is far more garbage here than you think. For example, those old guys above the 60th floor are not dug out of the garbage dump of history by Infinite City?"

"Ah this..." The salt in Feng Xue's right hand teleported to his left hand, and his whole body was not feeling well. He had been thinking before that it was just those who turned from nothing to ghost stories, such as Seth, Cain, and Kukul How did these old antiques enter the Infinite City? According to Qing Xingdeng, they may not even be native to this world. Instead, Infinite City pulled out information from an unknown world and absorbed it. The knowledge of this world is resurrected.

But in that case, does the so-called "legacy of the old gods" in the secret shop also include the old gods themselves?

Looking at Feng Xue's expression, Qing Xingdeng added in a rather resentful tone:

"Actually, the reason why Hyakumonogatari took such a path is that these resurrected ancient ghost stories bear a large part of the responsibility. After all, it was because we saw the method of their resurrection that we, who were still exploring the road of ghost stories at that time, tried to play the role. There have been strange stories about annexation.”

"You said all this just to explain the rationality of Baimonogatari's actions?" Feng Xue raised her eyebrows, her tone a little subtle, Qing Xingdeng naturally shook his head and said:

"How could it be? Just to let you understand what the situation on the 121st floor is like."

"What do you mean?" Feng Xue thought she had missed some details, so she immediately recalled it again, but she still didn't find any mention of the 121st floor.

Seeing this, Qing Xingdeng could only suppress the Riddler attribute and explained:

"The Tower of Babylon is a tower where humans stole divine power. God was afraid that humans would gain the same power as him, so he destroyed the tower and took away humanity's shared language. So, what do you think the Tower of Babylon wants to do?"

"Take back the shared language... Well, this has been taken back, that is, to seize the divine power? But isn't the ghost story a god? Or is it that in this world, Yahweh has really turned into a ghost story?" Feng Xue's face showed disbelief. The expression, because with the size of this thing Yahweh, it doesn’t have it at all...

Oh, by the way, if you look at the Tower of Babel era, Yahweh was just a military god worshiped by a small group of people. If you think about it this way, it seems that it is not impossible for him to be born...

However, Qing Xingdeng sighed at Feng Xue's lack of understanding and said:

"It has nothing to do with Yahweh. Having said all this, don't you realize that the Tower of Babel was not actually built?"

"Ah? Oh! You're talking about this? So the 121st floor is for the construction or repair of the Tower of Babel? Then after the 121st floor is repaired, will there be a 122nd floor? How long will this take?"

Feng Xue finally understood what Qing Xingdeng meant at this time, but in order to get more information, he still pretended to be stupid. When Qing Xingdeng heard this, his eyes flickered slightly, as if he wanted to see whether Feng Xue was actually there. He pretended to be stupid, but finally gave up this futile behavior and said directly:

"The height of the Tower of Babylon has no meaning. The meaning of its existence is to allow people to obtain the same power as God. In a sense, the current process of 'nothing' accumulating faith and becoming 'weird stories' is just an intermediate stage of this goal. That's all, becoming a layer master is actually to take the path of 'from nothing to ghost stories, and then to real existence'. When you complete this process, you can be regarded as a human being, and then you can gain divine power as a human being. The construction of the Tower of Babylon is complete, do you understand?"

Regarding the old gods picked up by picking up trash in Infinite City, we can probably understand it this way.

Suppose that in a certain world, Iberia was more thorough when it destroyed the Aztecs, and even the legends of the Mayan culture were not left behind. In that world, would Quetzalcoatl and a number of Aztec gods just be there? There are no historical records anymore?

In this way, the strange stories they know will naturally disappear completely and will not be resurrected, but they may still leave some unidentifiable traces.

For example, Quetzalcoatl left a mask with feathers on it. After tens or hundreds of years, the feathers on the mask have become bald, and no one knows what the pattern is. It is not too old, no matter how powerful the archeology is. There's nothing a scientist can do if he gets such an orphaned mask, right?

However, these traces themselves carry information and can be regarded as the anchor point for the resurrection of the gods. It is somewhat similar to the kind of seed file that no one has seeded. Although it can be downloaded in theory, no one has seeded it. So I can't get down.

For this world, this kind of thing is undoubtedly garbage, and it happens to be within the reception range of Infinite City, so the garbage comes to Infinite City.

In the main world linked to Infinite City, although the Aztec civilization was extinct, it was not that complete. There were still some legends and secondary creations. This seed file received new seeds, and the above strange stories were revived in Infinite City. That's probably it. It's a process, but it should be noted that such a resurrected Kaidan is actually closer to the behavior of pretending to be Kaidan in Hyakumonogatari. After resurrection, he still has to compete with the local ancestor Kaidan.
