Chapter 899: The writing style seems to have declined.
The writing of the Bible was far more complicated than Yuta and his friends had initially imagined.
After eating and drinking their fill, Dansheng Valley and Yuta continued their work on writing the Bible, ignoring their weekend homework and immersing themselves wholeheartedly in this work that they also loved.
The reason they had a party last night was partly to relieve work fatigue, and partly because they felt their Bible was very well written, and although it wasn't completely finished, they were satisfied with it.
However, Fang Wuwei rejected it entirely after reviewing it. Of the nearly one hundred pages they had compiled, he believed that only about 20% was usable.
The reason is not really that simple; it's probably just that these chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) individuals completely failed to consider that this Bible is meant to be promoted to the public, not used to create their own narratives.
Fang Wuwei still can't understand why they would write such a damn Dragon King plot in a religious Bible that needs to be used for missionary work: "The believer is harassed by thugs on the street, and the God of Thunder suddenly descends from the sky and smashes the thugs with lightning."
Where's the logic? Where's the sophistication? Where's the divine power? Absolutely nothing's left!
How did he, a righteous god worshipped by a religion, become a male protagonist in an urban drama? This plot... when did they secretly read face-slapping wish-fulfillment novels?
Fang Wuwei was lying down reading the Bible while clutching it, gasping for breath. The thought that the Thor mentioned in the book referred to him made him blush and his mouth go dry. If Zhang Ye hadn't been sleeping soundly in his arms, he would have scratched his toes raw.
For example, there's the issue of combat power. In the Bible, his fighting power as the god of thunder is terrifyingly high. When these chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) individuals face this living, breathing god of thunder, their first thought is naturally about his combat power. They don't know how strong Fang Wuwei is now, but they don't care how strong Fang Wuwei is either. Anyone can boast on paper.
The consensus among this group of delusional teenagers was that they couldn't lose to any other god, so the Thor they created was ridiculously powerful and had a certain science fiction feel to it...
For example, he wrote a whole bunch of things, like waving his hand to destroy the universe and then waving his hand to create it, which made Fang Wuwei blush with shame.
While it's not uncommon for people to boast about their God in the Bible—anyone can talk big—the problem lies in modern society. People's understanding of the world has moved far beyond the ancient notions of a flat earth and a celestial sphere. Modern people generally have a certain understanding of the universe and the nature of the world. Therefore, to highlight the awesomeness of this Thor, Dansheng Valley and her group included everything...
It included everything from hand-crafted galactic starships to the annihilation of alien space fleets to protect humanity, to the destruction of other alien civilizations for the sake of human supremacy, to a Thor temple on a neutron star, and even two eyes that are black holes...
This truly stunned Fang Wuwei. He stared at that page in silence for a long, long time before finally deciding to reject it. This concept book was too outrageous...
But Yuta and his friends weren't just sitting idly by. Some of their writing was indeed quite good. After all, they were all seasoned chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) sufferers, and there were even powerful scholars like Nibutani among them, so it was still readable.
For example, in their historical account of thunder gods, they combined all the thunder gods from mythology, such as Thor and Zeus, into Fang Wuwei.
According to what they wrote, the different thunder gods that appear in various mythological systems are actually all incarnations of Fang Wuwei, the 'real thunder god', who has been protecting humanity since ancient times and coexisting with humanity. However, he has been asleep for thousands of years for some reason and has now awakened again.
The reason for his awakening is... Thor's nemesis, the Dark Flame Dragon, has awakened, and Thor has reappeared in the world to suppress this evil god...
That makes sense, since the first time he, the God of Thunder, fully appeared in the public eye was because of the appearance of the Dark Flame Dragon. In order to fight, he had to expose himself. The Dark Flame Dragon was also present in his second manifestation... Writing it this way actually makes sense.
Even if he later fights alongside the Dark Flame Dragon, it could be written as Thor subduing the Dark Flame Dragon to make the story more palatable.
While writing it this way might infringe on other previous mythological systems and potentially provoke discontent, it also has one advantage: it integrates all the Thors, and once it gets out, it can directly harvest the faith power of those who worship those Thors.
He would then have a certain number of believers, and those almost readily available and ownerless powers of faith could directly become his possession.
As for being refuted... that's easy to handle. He can let that pope be a little tougher and give a hard rebuttal, since he, the God of Thor, is really standing here, existing here, and can even bestow blessings. And they'd better bring out their own God of Thor as well.
His very existence is the strongest support for the development of the church; that reason alone is enough.
Fang Wuwei looked at the manuscript in his hand. These were just outlines of plans compiled by Dansheng Valley and his group. It was impossible to complete them in one night if they were to be perfected. It is worth mentioning that on the back of the paper about Thor's appearance and his nemesis Dark Flame Dragon, there was a large area of crossed-out drafts.
The previous text used more words to introduce the Dark Flame Dragon than it did to introduce Thor, and also wrote a lot of nonsensical and supernatural settings, but it was all roughly crossed out with a few strokes and turned into a scrap.
It's obvious who wrote it, and it's equally obvious who crossed it out...
It is indeed very discouraging to have your hard work completely rejected. This group of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) sufferers, while not entirely devoted to this task, were still very dedicated. They worked through half the night to write this part of the Bible, researched a lot of information, and put in a lot of effort to get it done. But as soon as Fang Wuwei, the real deal, returned, he rejected more than 80% of what they had written.
Tu Shou was completely deflated. The idea of Thor's street appearance, which was the one that Fang Wuwei scolded the most, was hers because she thought it was cool. But this chapter was met with a terrible scolding from Fang Wuwei. Now she sat on the ground, looking empty and dejected.
Danshenggu couldn't bear to watch any longer and, for the first time ever, began to comfort Fang Wuwei, not forgetting to glare at him as if blaming him for going too far.
However, Dekomori is Dekomori after all. She had already lost her motivation, but after being comforted by Nissouya for a while, she was fully revived. However, her first words after getting up were that she didn't need comfort from this fake Morisummer, which angered her... If Shichimiya hadn't intervened, the two of them would have fought again.
