"So you're saying that as long as we believe in God, we'll surely be rewarded? What a joke! Then why are the people of the Nika Tribe displaced?"

"Hehe~"

The old lady chuckled scornfully and continued speaking.

"How can us lowly mortals possibly comprehend God's thoughts?"

Then the old lady shared yet another thought about God.

Previously, Director Wang bombarded the altar with both planes and missiles.

That's akin to seeing a swarm of ants densely clustered at your doorstep; even if you usually ignore ants, in that situation, you'd probably crush them underfoot, right?

Perhaps God might find it "disgusting," and doesn't even need to step on them like humans do.

Just a mere thought could render all modern weapons ineffectual.

Upon hearing this, Director Wang and Xiaoqian fell silent.

They wanted to argue, but everything the old lady said seemed to closely reflect recent occurrences.

And if God truly reigns supreme, then the old lady's words were likely an accurate speculation.

"The main thing is..."

The old lady eerily fixed her gaze on Director Wang's eyes.

"Humans...how could they possibly understand the thought processes of ants? How can you guarantee that your desires align with God's understanding?"

"If an ant were to ask God: O supreme being of the universe, I deeply love another ant, but she completely ignores me, always dismissing me or treating me as a fool, can you make me the only one she sees?"

To ants, such a question is very "simple."

After all, you can effortlessly obliterate an entire ant nest, let alone make one ant fall for another.

But the problem is, this request is indeed infinitely more difficult for you than destroying an ant nest.

Furthermore, God lacks emotions, and has no understanding of feelings, yet as the 'supreme being of the universe', you definitely can't claim you can't handle such a "small matter," right?

God thought for a moment and decided that the request wasn't very difficult.

So you let the ant invite the one it likes out alone, then poured a pot of boiling water into their nest.

Indeed, God killed all the other ants in that ant nest.

No problem, right?

Surely, from now on, the ant it likes will see only it.

Yet, when the ant returned to the nest with the queen ant it adored, intending to work, it found the nest no longer held the previous joyful and busy atmosphere.

The ground...the ground was strewn with the corpses of its kind, and among countless bodies was a lone survivor, trembling in a corner, psychologically shattered.

Of course.

Even at this moment, the ant wouldn't blame God.

Come on, it's the supreme being of the universe, what right does an ant have to complain?

It would only sob, until its spirit broke, frenetically questioning itself: What kind of foolish wish did I make!

From that point on.

A new rule was added to the ritual of summoning God by ants:

When making a wish to God, you must scrutinize every word of the wish with utmost caution.

Because the wish you make is highly likely to be fulfilled in a twisted manner...

....

After listening, Director Wang was somewhat breathless.

Upon translating, Xiaoqian felt cold in her hands and feet, her body seeming to gently tremble.

Ants, humans, God...

This old lady used a straightforward manner to explain the existence of God, and perhaps a trace of His psychology.

"Is there only one God?"

Director Wang's tone lacked the previous confidence.

"I don't know, perhaps one, perhaps two, or perhaps, like ants, there are countless in existence. How could ants possibly know how many humans there are? Likewise, how could humans possibly know how many deities there are?"

Hiss...

Director Wang touched his chin, his mind was chaotic, feeling as if countless ants were crawling and gnawing inside his head...

"Then, God, are there good gods and evil gods?"

Upon hearing Director Wang's translated words, the old lady's face rarely showed a slight smile.

"In the ants' worldview, do humans divide into good and bad people?"

"This..."

Seeing Director Wang's ignorant appearance, the old lady spoke again to explain.

"If one day, on your way home, you see a bunch of ants at your doorstep arranging sand and stones into the word 'handsome', you'd be amazed and admire their ingenuity, and thus casually toss them bread crumbs from the room."

"Of course, to the ants, this is like a mountain made of food, while as they transport the food, they summarize a summoning array, or a 'spell', so long as they arrange fixed stones in certain patterns, they will receive food they can't finish in a lifetime."

"But the next day, they went to the doorstep again, arranging the letters 'sb' haphazardly with sand and stones. Can you tolerate this? Along comes a spray of urine that causes them massive casualties."

"As the ants flees, they summarize another set of forbidden formations: if they accidentally arrange the letters sb, they'll summon the Evil God! He will rain down golden disaster with unimaginable taste and corrosion, annihilating all ants!"

Director Wang:....

Xiaoqian:....

So this is the truth behind the god summoning array?

Different "arrays" can summon different gods.

Of course, this is merely the old lady's conjecture, after all, how could we as ants know what God thinks?

Perhaps someone with a wicked sense of humor sees the letters sb and not only doesn't blame the ants, but also gives them food.

But next time the ants use the same sb formation, they encounter bad luck.

Subsequently, they name this extremely simple array the [Lucky Formation], [Random Formation], or [Gambling Formation].

Because before God's arrival, they themselves don't know whether they'll summon a good god or an evil god.

Listening more to the old lady, Director Wang realized he had actually learned to deduce further...

Simultaneously, this ant theory seemed very applicable.

It can be well integrated into recent events on Blue Star and those involving Jiang Xiao.

Of course, the old lady's reasoning could be completely incorrect, as she herself admitted, how could an ant understand human thoughts?

All this remains the old lady's wishful guessing.

Nonetheless, as long as this logic currently lacks significant flaws, and can be applied to various "God" scenarios, then even if this theory is wrong, it does not affect its temporary correctness.

Just like before the heliocentric theory was proven, everyone believed geocentrism was correct.

"Xiaoqian, go find someone to inform all psychology and sociology experts about the ant theory, letting them perfect and supplement it as much as possible, while using the second reminder opportunity to convey the ant theory to him."

This doesn't involve God, the Analog Horror surely wouldn't restrict the information, right?
