Chapter 436: Civilization Needs Faith
“Thank the gods for the gift that allows us to continue to live on this beautiful planet.”
“How magnificent, so spectacular, how grand! This is the might of a God from the east!”
“Across the world, I, God of the Eastern Sky Taiyi, am invincible.”
“It’s a loong! It’s the Yingloong! I have finally seen a real loong in my lifetime!”
“Now this is the majesty and dignity of a loong! It’s not like the renditions in ?Journey to the West? where the loongs are simply a bunch of reptiles.”
“The loong inside ?Journey to the West? isn’t a true loong. Take a look, they don’t even have wings!”
“Those who have been deceived by modern novels should read more books from the Qin and Han dynasties. These are the most magnificent chapters of Chinese civilization. I hate those who treat novels as real stories. Simply incorrigible.”
The Fengshan ceremony was so important that not everybody knew that it was happening. It was only after Taiyi had manifested and destroyed the moon to save humanity that the event was made public.
The video taken by the astronauts of the ISS of the giant palm extending through the universe became the world’s major news topic. The God of the Eastern Sky and the Yingloong of ancient Chinese civilization was thrust into the global spotlight.
The Christian God, Islam’s Allah, and Buddhist Sakyamuni were all famous and widely known. On the other hand, the ancient Chinese gods such as Fuxi and Nuwa were only circulated within China and were even devoid of faith.
China’s name (Hua Xia) came from these ancient gods. Hua originated from Huaxu, the mother of Fuxi. While Xia signified the greatness in the ceremonial etiquette of the ancients After a long time, these two merged into one meaning, and that was the Chinese people. Though this ancient nation did not perish, its citizens forgot their original identity as the ages passed.
After the appearance of the Taiyi, the Chinese government made up its mind. Taking in the essence of Xia, many ancient rituals gradually regained popularity. The ancient traditional costumes once again became the norm during important festivals and ceremonies. This civilization that no longer had unique characteristics finally found its own heel and revived the glory of the ancients.
People couldn’t be without faith, but China had always been without one. After the appearance of Taiyi and the Yingloong, the ancestral faith was once again reignited. The Yellow Emperor’s tomb and other places had also become shrines for people to worship.
On the other hand, modern youth were excited. In this modern era where gods had appeared, the debate on which god was stronger began. Such topics had also appeared in the past and everyone began mixing in unrelated things. It was very strange in that it seemed that there was a hidden war of words.
……
In the United Nations building in New York, the leaders of major countries once again held a video conference.
“I would like to represent the Chinese government to protest against a certain country. Because of a certain country’s government’s ignorant behavior, mankind almost went extinct. This time, China united as one to solve the crisis in the nick of time and paid a great price. I hope that a certain country could clean up their hearts and share some information. If another such crisis occurs, we human beings dare not guarantee to be able to pass through it peacefully.”
The Chinese representative’s tone was stern and righteous.
Unlike Christianity, Buddhism, or other religions, only the Chinese people could understand the glory of these ancestral gods who are part of their unique faith.
If Christianity and Buddhism represented the religious civilizations of many countries, the Chinese gods represented the absolute civilization that belonged only to China. Perhaps only Hinduism could compare to it in its uniqueness.
Unfortunately, the Hindu gods hadn’t appeared at all, resulting in many people questioning them. There was also nothing about Hindu supernatural forces that had appeared in the whole world.
The US government felt a bit resentful at the chastisement. Nonetheless, they could only swallow down their anger against the verbal criticism. Although it was an exaggeration to say that the Chinese government paid a great price, it was still the truth that they saved the day and brought the world out of trouble.
In this meeting, even the allies of the USA stood on China’s side. They only sided with the USA due to USA’s power, but it did not mean that they were willing to die with them
After some arguments, the representative countries led by China obtained some benefits from the United States of America as well as some advantages in bilateral trade. The United States of America was gradually losing its hegemony, but its economic strength was still the strongest.
The appearance of the gods only brings people spiritual satisfaction, but it could not solve material satisfaction. Compared to faith, gaining some preferences could promote the standard of living of the people.
The world of San Soliel served to prove one thing, the existence of true gods did not necessarily mean that people were living happy lives.
“By the way, where is the President of France?”
This post-apocalyptic crisis meeting continued. It was only after a while that a representative noticed that the President of France was not even there.
“Hehe, that guy that’s afraid of death is probably still in space, thinking of how to come back to Earth. The last time we finished the meeting, that old boy already escaped…”
England’s prime minister said contemptuously. England and France had been long rivals, but seeing the old rival acting so disgracefully, England’s prime minister could not help but let out words of mockery.
Naturally, the prime minister of England could not say that he also wanted to run away, but many facilities in England were out of order. The rocket that he was going to run away on was urgently being repaired because of aging equipment. Luckily, the humanitarian crisis was solved before the rocket was fixed.
After the meeting, the President of the USA known for his love of spreading information felt pained. This time, USA was denounced by other countries, but he could not say a word of rebuttal.
“Your Excellency, this is the fall site of several meteorites that came from Jupiter LXVI. One of them happens to have fallen near Hawaii, should we salvage it?”
‘The new director of S.H.I.E.L.D. handed a report to the president. Because of the major mistake of the previous director that almost caused human extinction, he was sent to the international military court by the USA to take the blame.
