Chapter 578
The will of the gods was beyond human comprehension.
The gods saw further and wider than humans ever could.
Moreover, the belief that these gods necessarily acted for the benefit of humanity might be nothing more than a kind of bias or misunderstanding born from a long history of faith.
The very belief that gods would act for good was already a form of arrogance.
The good that the gods perceived might differ from what humans considered good.
If the extinction of humanity were considered good in the eyes of the gods, then perhaps they would desire it. In that case, the gods might not only permit the destruction of humanity, but actively will it.
Ludwig was stunned by Rowen’s words.
Believers and even priests had turned away from Ouen and Alse after a change in their beliefs, but it seemed even those who had stayed had had to change the way they thought about their faith in order to endure.
They had to fundamentally restructure their mindset just to hold on to their faith.
"If... If the gods truly desire such a thing... then why are they helping people...?" Ludwig asked, his voice filled with confusion.
"It's merely a hypothesis, not the truth," Rowen replied.
The will of the gods was ultimately unfathomable.
