Chapter 1234: Riddle
—Water?
The dorm keeper seemed to be in a good mood. She nodded with a smile. “Not the water in our everyday life, but the water of the eternal river in mythology. It’s the essence of the world and the origin of everything.”
—I don’t get it.
“The philosopher believes that everything is sentient. The world isn’t simply a random combination and accumulation of countless isolated entities, but under one single rule—the rule of the great God. God gives rise to all creations, existence, and operations. They are not to be seen yet omnipresent, just like the eternal river that never ceases.”
—What are you getting at?
“Well, we have time. Just want a chat. Do you believe in God, Gao Yang?”
—I don’t know.
“I don’t know, either. But something’s been bothering me.”
—What?
“See. Humans have never seen God. Why do humans believe in God?”
—The textbooks say that humans try to rationalize what they do not understand. That’s where the earliest mythology came from.
