Hearing Qiu Tu's sudden inquiry, Qin Shuman couldn't help but become serious.
Standing by the French window with her arms crossed, she then solemnly said, "Qiu Tu... I must tell you: there are no 'gods' in this world."
"All those who claim to be 'gods' are merely elusive charlatans trying to play god."
"They usually fear the light. That's why they deceive the people with deities and faith."
Possibly fearing that Qiu Tu would stray onto the wrong path, Qin Shuman thought carefully for a moment before expanding on her explanation.
She said, "Now... after all, it is the post-Cataclysm era, and the entire world's Order is very chaotic. Moreover, the matter of Catastrophe Power hasn't been publicized to the masses."
"This leads to some powerful Cataclysmics or Cataclysmic Creatures exploiting the information gap to masquerade as deities, attracting followers, and harvesting their faith."
