Chapter 650: The Truth
"Distance brings the unknown, the unknown brings fear, and fear brings obedience, and although it is ironic, in Ash's history, the devotion of evil gods and evil gods has overwhelmingly surpassed that of good gods. But let's put it this way, whether it's an evil god or a good god, they're essentially a thing. β
Because the ability is too special, this book of ten thousand laws that can be banned if you are not careful, Rorschach has been hiding in the reserve, as a threatening hole card, and there is rarely a chance to make a move.
But as discussed before, in Rorschach's eyes, the book of ten thousand laws, which is pregnant with countless knowledge, is its real selling point, and there are absolute taboos and mysteries in the infinite true knowledge brought by infinite souls.
The gods, as Rorschach had seen, had become widespread in this age of information explosion.
Anyone can say a few words about the taboo of the oak god system's love for beasts, and can also slander the great failure of the dwarf god system in the era of magic.
When the unknown and distance between mortals and gods were repaired, the original awe turned 80 degrees in white, and directly turned into an entertainment circle full of rumors and artificial traffic.
And the gods of the new age are happy to see this happen...... Maybe it's not happy, but reluctantly accepting, after all, popularity represents the beginning of being recognized, shallow faith is also faith, there are too few believers in the news of the new god falling into eternal sleep every year, and even the third edition of the entertainment version can't be listed, stirring up some scandals and rumors can expand popularity, what a good thing.
"It's okay for the primordial gods who have a complete body and don't eat the food of faith, they control the divine power and priesthood instead of being kidnapped by the god system, and the belief in the god who relies entirely on the god system is actually a very sad creature, especially the belief god who exists in pure souls, who integrate themselves into the concept and the priesthood for the sake of immortality, and themselves become part of the priesthood. β
In the Book of Ten Thousand Laws, the true mystery of the gods is explained in great detail and thoroughly, and in the complex information storm of modern times, this root and initial information are the secrets that are deliberately hidden by the gods....... They also don't want to be entertained to death, they don't want more than 95% of their followers to be shallow believers with small profits, and they don't want their sons and daughters to put on skirts and act as idol groups to attract believers.
β....... There is no way, this is the change of the times, if you don't adapt and change, you will wait to die. β
In a sense, Ansoreen is their lifesaver, after all, a large number of original inhabitants here are ignorant and simple, and they are the best leeks of faith, as long as they are small favors, they can sit and wait for the harvest, for example, in Ash, you cultivate a devout disciple, a backbone person, you need to arrange a career for him, children's education, etc., insurance and benefits must be updated every year, such as large companies more than churches.
And now in AnsΓΈreen, digging a spring can probably be said to be a miracle, so that the other party can thank for decades or even generations.
In this book, it is possible that there is a hundredfold or a thousand-fold gap between the amount of faith provided by pious faith and shallow faith, and if there is a choice, the god of faith would rather exchange a thousand shallow believers for a fanatical believer, let alone improve the belief that in addition to providing faith, believers can also undertake a series of choices from labor, social influence, combat power, and divine power bearers.
It stands to reason that there are plenty of pious leek seeds here, but why did Ash's belief in the gods behave like this....... Restrained?
It's not that they don't invest or invest, but most of the main forces in the first batch are newcomers and gods in the new era, and the old kings basically didn't end up in person.
Do they think it doesn't matter? That heavy magic book can be said, there are not a few people who believe in gods who have been kidnapped by faith, assimilated by the priesthood, who have betrayed their relatives for the sake of their faith, who kill people and set fires are just routine means, and even those who wear women's clothes on the stage are not one or two, and no matter how much faith there is, they will definitely not dislike it.
Even if their own status is high enough, the source of faith is stable...... As for the speed of Ash's "Vulcan" renewal, it is also necessary to think about the future.
Taking a step back, they don't need it themselves, they can also cheaply follow the gods, the children of the gods, those low-level gods are dreaming of being on the throne, and Ash's current believers are quite limited, which directly restricts the upper limit of belief in gods.
The more they learned about the rules and the of the gods, the more Rorschach believed that their thirst for faith was limitless.
"If you really unite to force the palace, no one can stop them. β
What's more, it is not uncommon for the rule-makers to trample on the rules in private, Rorschach himself found a lot of deliberately left gaps and loopholes from the new god settlement rules, obviously they were not very regular when they made the rules, and they had additional ideas, but there was no old god to intervene, and they were all clean like saints.
Rorschach didn't understand it at first, and he had some doubts about Ansolen's priesthood system, and there was no mention of Ansolen's related knowledge in the ancient mysteries of the Book of Ten Thousand Laws, but as time went on, he understood it himself.
β....... It turns out that this is also a pit. β
It was only during his upbringing in New Tonya that he began to notice that something was wrong.
Indeed, the original local Shima people were pious and unpretentious, not only excellent and high-quality labor, but also the best source of faith, and the triple jump development of the Neo-God Church, including the Game Church, undoubtedly proves the quality of these resources to be expected.
But soon, things don't go right.
"As long as the temptation is in place, honest people will also become. No, to be precise, it is because there is no temptation, no information bombardment, and nothing is known that it will appear to be very honest. β
As a modern city, while attracting locals to settle in with advanced magic goods and modern lifestyles, cultural invasion is also inevitable, and all kinds of Ash's local information and periodicals are inevitably transmitted to new ethnic groups, especially in order to increase the affinity between the two places, these slightly filtered information will inevitably have places to beautify and declare local culture.
The most straightforward difference between the era of peace and primitive society, and the most touching place, is probably the so-called human rights and freedoms, or more broadly, the importance of the individual and the self.
At a time when the people of Isolane are still fighting or huddling together to survive, those cultural pursuits that emphasize the pursuit of personal life, including the enjoyment of love and friendship, cannot be stopped.
This is another consequence of the colonial culture, the area occupied by the Eich, the natives are naturally transformed by the spiritual Eich.
And as they become more realistic, they naturally become picky, especially in the large population centers of the Ish, there are often several or even dozens of Shinshin churches competing with each other, and their continuous employment and recruitment conditions have naturally brought about drastic changes in all aspects.
You work at the Ish, eat food from the Ich factory, watch their TV, like their sports stars, and the history of the tribe has long been forgotten, but the faces of the stars of their historical legends are more familiar than the other.
In fact, some people have done social experiments, unless the two parties are not in contact with the life of the quarantine area at all, as long as they are packed in a social chain, it is only a matter of time before they influence each other, and because of the contrast to Anthorene, who is relatively barren in spiritual culture, Ash in the universe era easily completes all kinds of spiritual assimilation.
And if it is only used as slavery of faith...... First of all, this is very inhumane and has endless consequences, and at the moment when the Eich themselves are divided by countless forces, it will inevitably turn into a very ugly slave-owning war in the end.
In the evolutionary history of New Winteria and the Haraite Federation, Rorschach has witnessed the transformation of many Shima people from simple, responsible residents to modern citizens who are "pragmatic and don't come to give money directly".
Many of them, their attitude towards the gods, has also changed from the initial pious worship, to the later faith stars, to the present, more than ten years ago, the results of seeing the gods every day, not to mention worship and faith, the most thought is still the difference between a good company boss / a stingy bastard boss and so on.
Perhaps, the purity of faith is still more than ten times that of Ash, and the addition of devout believers is just as considerable, according to the current progress, as long as Luo Li becomes the king of the god system of the Harette Wasteland, it is only a matter of time before she supports a powerful divine power, and it is also expected to reach the status of the main god in a hundred years, but .....
β..... This trend is very dangerous, no matter how you look at the fixed percentage of new GDP (G faith) every year, it will be okay in ten years, and it will be ...... in a hundred years Like Ash, if they are all pan-believers, it is very dangerous, especially since Ansolene is mostly immortal, and population growth is also a problem. β
The high elemental tides of Anthoreen make the average bloodline of the ethnic groups here quite high, and it is the iron law of the elemental rules that it is difficult for the strong bloodline to reproduce, and the researchers say that "this is the basic natural rule related to the total capacity of the elements in the world", it is expected that with the replacement of the elemental tides, the reproduction of long-lived species will only develop in the direction of becoming more and more difficult.
β...... If you don't expand wildly, just holding the territory, your faith will drop dramatically over time, isn't that equivalent to a noose that is constantly tightening around the neck of the god of faith?"
There are some things that will not be told even if you are in the game, although such changes may not happen in decades or even hundreds of years, and most human beings will not wait for that day in their lifetimes, but Rorschach knows that most of them will see it, and feel that such a future seems to be in front of him.
"At that time, it's not like there's no way out. The territory that originally raised 10 main gods became only able to raise five, so 7 weaker ones were eliminated, and then 3 were just integrated into the god-king system of the Ansolene god system. The priesthood of order, chaos, death, and light is enough. β
Rorschach has seen the whole blueprint clearly, after the initial widespread seeding, the next is the barbaric growth of each according to his ability, and then the bloody plane war millstone, and finally if it wins, I am afraid that there will be the harshest bloody civil war, compared to Ash's situation, I am afraid that in the end, the gods who will not exceed ten figures will each occupy a piece of territory and establish their own earthly kingdom.
This is a path of supremacy, but it is also a path of killing that smells of blood......
β...... No wonder the original God of War numbers were all four digits, it seems that only we newcomers are stupid. β
Don't say you don't want to fight, the diminishing faith at that time is the countdown to the eternal sleep, destined to force the kindest gods into the gods of war.
This is destined to be a long and arduous battle, Luo Li's priesthood is not good, the will to fight is not good, and the background is not enough...... Considering that most of the opponents in the finals will be the seed aces of the natural camp, the human camp, and the underground coalition forces, Rorschach has little chance of winning.
Perhaps, this is just a proxy war between the major powers.
Seeing through all this, Rorschach also looked down on the plane battlefield invaded by the evil god a lot, he worked hard for so many years, in fact, it was for the sake of his family's better life, at this time, he was not stupid to act as cannon fodder to contribute more to the plane, and he would be able to be rewarded.
"It is estimated that the churches that have been badly damaged on the plane battlefield will be embezzled and fused by similar forces. β
In this meat grinder Colosseum full of blood, those old gods are not cornered, and they will not consider investing no matter how they look at it, that is, these newcomers who have nothing will fight for a chance to get ahead.
Maybe this is what Rorschach thinks too much, maybe this is something that will happen a hundred years later, maybe the game church can't survive the plane war at that time, or maybe the plane battlefield directly loses Ash's forces and returns to their hometown...... Well, it seems that the more hypothetical it is, the more cheating this road is.
"Well, the Divine Descent Passage is going well, and you are trying to harness my life divine power with your body........ Luo Li, I'm going to find a way out for you. β
