Faith and spirit
After a brief moment of surprise, everyone looked at Shen Hui.
That's incredibly audacious! How dare they call Old Zhang "the old codger"!
Someone immediately reprimanded Shen Hui.
"Shen Hui, how dare you be so rude! How dare you speak to an elder like that!"
The remaining four elders also looked at Shen Hui with cold eyes.
No one has ever dared to be so rude to them.
That kind of address is completely disrespectful to them.
And this happened in front of so many people.
"Shen Hui, let's solve any problems slowly. Maybe it was just an accident? Why are you making such a fuss? Do you really think you've never met any of us elders before and don't respect us?"
An elder spoke in a deep voice.
Shen Hui showed no fear whatsoever. "Your face isn't something you choose; it's given to you by others!"
"Everyone else is fine, but something unexpected happened to me?!"
"If you have ulterior motives towards me, and I have no means to retaliate, wouldn't I be at your mercy today!"
Shen Hui's loud voice echoed throughout the hall.
Apart from Ji Xinfeng, everyone else nodded in agreement instinctively.
For these creators, the Creation World is the foundation of their power.
It's even related to one's own life.
They forcibly invaded the world without prior notice.
If it were them, they would probably be even more furious.
But whether those present would have the same courage to refute and resist as Shen Hui... that's hard to say.
The four elders were completely taken aback that Shen Hui would dare to contradict them like this.
He was instantly furious.
"You..."
but
Before they could say anything more, Shen Hui interrupted them.
"What, did you four elders know in advance that this old codger planned to dissect my world, and that you're on the same side, which is why you're in such a hurry?"
"Could I be acting under someone's orders? I've been targeted by the Giant God Cult all along, could it be...?"
Shen Hui didn't finish his sentence, but the rest of his words were self-evident.
This was quite a huge accusation, and the four elders were furious.
"You're talking nonsense!"
At this moment, Chi Yan stepped forward.
"Elders, this matter could be serious or minor. If it were truly an accident, why are you all in such a hurry with a junior?"
Ye Long immediately shouted, "That's right! There's right and wrong in things, but it's not Brother Shen's fault. Why don't you show us your own world too?"
"Elders, my son was rude, but what he said is indeed reasonable."
Ye Yitian also stepped forward from the ranks of the Guardians.
More and more people are standing up for Shen Hui.
Shengnan, along with Sun Jingjing, Zhuge Hongjing, Bai Fan...
Although the others did not stand up, they all murmured in agreement.
Of course, Ji Xinfeng was an exception; his expression was just as unpleasant as the elders'.
He was already cursing under his breath: How could these old bastards be so useless!
The four elders, who were otherwise normal, began to have their own doubts as they watched the situation escalate.
This is going to be bad; they are definitely in the wrong.
The best way now is to shift the blame onto Gu Cheng.
Anyway, he's not quite right in the head right now, so let's just consider it an accident.
I helped out and received benefits in return.
There's no guarantee it will work out.
This is a world where only Ji Xinfeng suffers.
The four elders snorted coldly and stopped dwelling on the matter.
"Take Elder Gu Cheng down there and have his mental state checked."
Shen Hui didn't pursue the matter further, deciding to stop while he was ahead.
Otherwise, continuing to cause trouble would not only be bad for himself, but also for those who helped him, such as Chi Yan Ye Long.
The staff helped the delirious Gu Cheng away, while the remaining four elders continued to set up restrictions on those participating in the trial.
However, Shen Hui was not among them; he left directly and went to the waiting area.
The four elders didn't say anything; they could participate in the test even without any restrictions.
However, if the world goes wrong, then you have to take responsibility for it yourself.
Having just had a disagreement with Shen Hui, I naturally wouldn't care about Shen Hui.
The others slowly stepped forward, all with a hint of wariness.
Having learned from Shen Hui's example, they were all somewhat apprehensive.
However, apart from Shen Hui, everyone else had a smooth journey.
"Next, let Zhuge Zhaixing, the main initiator of this test, explain the specific testing method to everyone."
An elder addressed the people below.
After the four of them came down, a middle-aged man with graying hair and a spirited demeanor went up.
Upon hearing the name, Shen Hui realized that the other person was clearly from the Zhuge Family.
As expected, the Zhuge Family collaborated with the World Association in their research on the Creation World.
Zhuge Zhaiyue spoke in a magnetic voice:
"Most of you have experienced the turmoil of the past; those members of the Giant God Cult were able to create Creation World in the Real World."
"Although their Creation World is different from ours, it is broadly similar."
"The dangers posed by the Creation World unfolding in the Real World are evident to all."
"In order to cope with this, we must also have ways to counter it."
"Therefore, through our research, we have finally discovered a way to bring the Creation World into the Real World."
Everyone listened attentively; that was why they had come.
That is faith and spirit.
The concepts of faith and spirit left everyone below completely bewildered.
I didn't understand what that meant at all.
However, Zhuge Zhaixing was at the very top, continued:
"This faith is not faith in the conventional sense; it can be understood as belief."
"The reason those members of the Giant God Cult were able to do this was because they had an almost fanatical belief in the Colossal Creature World."
"We are the creators, the masters of a world; the will and rules of this Creation World are our embodiment."
"When we achieve a certain harmony with our own Creation World, our spiritual connection to that Creation World is strengthened."
"This will allow us to establish a connection where our Creator resides, thus linking our world with the Creation World."
This explanation seemed to be understood by some, while others did not.
Shen Hui, however, seemed to have understood.
Death World that others cannot develop in and do not have a positive outlook on.
But Shen Hui had extreme confidence in his Death World.
Because of the knowledge Shen Hui possesses, the Death World will surely develop!
This is faith in one's own Creation World; this is belief!
That's all the explanation I have. If you understand, great; if not, there's nothing I can do.
"Next, we will provide everyone with a private space where we can enhance our mental strength."
"It helps us better find the feeling of connecting the Creation World with the Real World."
"Don't worry if it doesn't work out; it's still in the testing phase."
Let's begin now.
Shen Hui didn't hear a word Zhuge Zhaixing said after that.
Instead, he was constantly reflecting on his own understanding, and for a moment, Shen Hui felt that he was different.
"What would it feel like to bring your own Creation World into the Real World?"
"What if we could bring those Eldritch Beings, fantastical creatures, like Cthulhu, into reality..."
