Killing Gods: I Control Gods in the Mist and Learn to Kill Gods

After a certain disaster caused by the gods, why does human society still pray for the gods to return and rule? ——On the necessity of human self-improvement and the exploration of paths to achieve common prosperity and eliminate dependence on gods Abstract: Based on the background of the apocalyptic disaster caused by the alien gods in the Crusu myth, this article explores the phenomenon of human society still praying for the return of gods to rule when facing desperate situations. Through literature review, theoretical framework construction, empirical analysis and other methods, this paper deeply analyzes the motivations for belief, explains the theoretical basis of human self-improvement and the importance of the concept of common prosperity in eliminating dependence on gods, and proposes corresponding path exploration strategies, aiming to emphasize that humans should rely on their own strength to get rid of dependence on gods through realizing common prosperity, and promote the sustainable and healthy development of society. 1. Introduction The alien gods in Crusu's mythology, such as Azathoth, are powerful and terrifying beings that transcend human understanding and cognition. In a hypothetical doomsday scenario, the activities of alien gods trigger global disasters, including but not limited to the collapse of ecosystems, the disintegration of civilized order, and huge psychological trauma to human beings. It has brought unprecedented impact and challenges to the traditional belief system of human society. The traditional concept of gods is often associated with images of protection, love, etc., While the Crusu god is a symbol of chaos and destruction. This puts the original framework of human religious belief in a crisis of collapse and reshaping. It also prompts us to think about why in such an apocalyptic context, humans have the strange phenomenon of praying for the return of gods to rule. 2. Literature review Throughout human history, religious beliefs have often played an important role in the face of natural disasters such as the Black Death, earthquakes, and floods in medieval Europe, as well as social unrest such as wars, revolutions, and other crises. From a social psychological perspective, religion gives people spiritual sustenance and alleviates fear and anxiety. For example, during the Black Death, many people sought inner peace through prayer and believed that gods could determine the fate of life and death. Religion also has the function of social integration. In turbulent times, church organizations often become an important force in uniting the people and providing charitable relief. In the development process of modern society, the spirit of human self-improvement has gradually become prominent. Marxism emphasizes the all-round development of human beings and social progress, and believes that human beings can transform the world through labor and practice. Driven by the scientific and technological revolution, mankind has made great achievements in the fields of medicine, energy, communications and other fields, demonstrating its ability to conquer nature and improve life by relying on its own wisdom and strength. The concept of common prosperity is put forward in the context of the pursuit of social fairness and justice. It aims to eliminate the gap between the rich and the poor, enable all people to share the fruits of development, lay the foundation for the all-round development of mankind from the economic basic level, and reduce the expectation of illusory redemption from gods caused by poverty and inequality. 3. Construction of theoretical framework (1) Reasons for belief in the end-of-days situation In the apocalyptic environment created by the god Crusu, humans tend to pray for the gods to return and rule, mainly due to various psychological mechanisms. Fear is the primary factor. The unknown and powerful destructive power brought by external gods plunges humans into extreme fear, and praying to gods is seen as a way to escape fear. Despair also prompts people to seek the intervention of supernatural forces. When conventional means cannot cope with disasters, people place their hope in the miracles of gods. In addition, the worship of unknown powers also plays a role. Although alien gods are terrifying existences, human beings may still subconsciously believe that they have "divineness" that surpasses humans, and imagine that they can gain a glimmer of hope through obedience. (2) Theoretical basis for human self-improvement Based on Marxist theory, human beings are subjects with subjective initiative and can understand and transform the world through labor practice. In modern social psychology research, individuals have the ability to stimulate their potential when faced with challenges, and groups can form strong action forces under a common goal. For example, in the face of a global public health crisis, scientists from various countries collaborated to develop vaccines, and all sectors of society collaborated to fight the epidemic, demonstrating the potential of mankind to respond to crises on its own. Human self-improvement is not only a necessary choice to cope with the apocalyptic disasters, but also the fundamental way to achieve sustainable progress of human society. (3) Common prosperity and elimination of dependence on gods As an advanced form of human social development, common prosperity weakens the social foundation of god dependence in multiple dimensions. Economically, a fair distribution system eliminates the need for people to pray to gods for wealth due to poverty; politically, democratic and equal political participation allows people to believe that they can influence social decisions instead of relying on the rule of gods; culturally, popularizing scientific education and improving humanistic literacy enable people to view the world with rational thinking and reduce reliance on supernatural explanations. 4. Empirical analysis Imagine that in a city affected by the god Crusu, if the government chooses to pray to the gods, it may invest a lot of resources in religious rituals and sacrificial activities and ignore actual rescue and reconstruction work, leading to further chaos in social order and making people's lives more difficult. If non-governmental organizations focus on self-improvement actions, such as organizing volunteers to carry out rescue operations, rebuilding infrastructure, and popularizing scientific response knowledge, they can stabilize the social situation within a certain range and enhance the people's self-rescue capabilities and confidence. If ordinary people blindly pray to gods, they may passively wait for rescue and miss the opportunity to save themselves; if they actively participate in self-improvement actions, they can contribute to their own survival and social recovery. These different choices show that praying to gods often brings negative consequences, while self-improvement action, although facing difficulties, is the right path to promote social development. 5. Path exploration (1) Education and ideological innovation Education system reform should focus on cultivating critical thinking and scientific spirit. Add rational analysis courses on supernatural concepts such as the Crusu myth to all levels of education, so that students can understand the fictional nature behind their cultural phenomena. At the same time, by promoting historical cases and successful experiences of human self-improvement, we create a positive ideology so that people can rely on their own wisdom and courage when facing crises. (2) Social system and technological innovation In terms of institutional innovation, establish and improve social mobilization mechanisms, resource allocation systems, and democratic decision-making procedures to respond to crises to ensure that social resources can be efficiently integrated and the forces of all parties coordinated in an apocalyptic situation. In terms of technological progress, increase investment in research and development such as disaster early warning technology, life support technology, and energy replacement technology, improve society's material foundation and technical means to cope with extreme situations, and enhance society's resilience and sustainability. 6. Conclusion and outlook In an apocalyptic situation, praying for the return of gods to rule is a negative and
