Chapter 584: Bloodbath Heresy
What is Faith?
Faith refers to the belief and admiration of a certain idea or someone or something, and to enshrine it as its own code of conduct.
Faith is tinged with the subjective and emotional experience of reason, and when extreme, it can even lose its reason.
A philosopher defined faith: "A strong belief usually expressed in stubborn trust in things that lack sufficient evidence to convince every rational person." ”
The Temple's fanatical belief in the gods.
The entire Western Regions it rules also have gods as a religion.
When the twelve temples collapsed, the twelve-winged holy angels were nailed to the heavens and wailed silently.
Their faith collapsed.
But there are also some fanatical believers in extreme belief in the gods.
While they were afraid, they prayed for the gods to send down their divine power to judge Lu Chen.
Even the black battleship flew all the way, and there were some fanatical believers who suicidally intercepted and attacked Lu Chen.
Of course, all of these fanatical believers were directly crushed by the black battleship.
Lu Chen's face was calm in the face of the crazy suicide attacks of those fanatical believers.
He knew that the power of faith would make people lose their minds and do crazy things that ordinary people could not understand.
Conquering the Western Regions is simple.
But it will be very difficult to conquer the hearts and minds of the people of the Western Regions.
Lu Chen's eyes revealed a cold glow.
He was never merciful to his enemies.
If they dare to resist, then they will bloody the Western Regions and kill them until they surrender.
When the Black Battleship arrives at the Temple of Light.
The temple, once a spiritual symbol, is in ruins.
Lu Chen looked at the Templars and bishops kneeling in rows, and frowned slightly.
The Templars surrendered much sooner than he had imagined.
He was ready to wash the temple in blood.
Because he knows that the power of faith can drive people crazy.
The fanatical believers of the temple did not give up their resistance altogether because of the collapse of their faith.
There will always be fanatical believers who continue to believe in the gods and believe that the gods will send down their divine powers to punish him as an intruder.
Lu Chen set his eyes on the leader of the group of kneeling worshippers.
Dressed in a holy white robe, he looked up at himself reverently.
She's Sally Ann.
Former Speaker of Darkness on Earth, Holy Maiden of Light.
Sally stood out from the crowd and knelt at the front, as if she had led the temple to surrender to Lu Chen.
Beside her was a majestic peak powerhouse, and his strength was not much better than that of Dark Speaker Sphilot.
The peak powerhouse had injuries on his body, obviously after a fight.
Lu Chen looked at the people behind Sally again, who were also more or less injured.
He already knew in his heart why the temple had surrendered to him without resistance.
Because those fanatical believers who want to rebel have been suppressed.
In the past few days since he crucified the twelve-winged holy angel to the Temple of Light, the temple has been bleeding from its own killing.
Lu Chen's gaze returned to Sally An, this girl's methods were really extraordinary.
Sally's bright eyes met Lu Chen's, and her soft voice said reverently, "Sally Ann meets the Holy Envoy. ”
Lu Chen listened to what she called herself, and said with a faint smile, "How did I become a holy envoy?"
Sallyan's ethereal voice said, "Your Excellency is the inheritor of the Creation God of the Cultivation Realm, so naturally you are the Holy Envoy. ”
It is not unreasonable for her to say that the power of opening up the cultivation realm is the god of creation.
"God", in fact, in the world, refers more to monks with great magical powers.
After all, the true Protoss rarely appears in the Great Thousand Worlds.
The earth is because of the special region, leaving a diversified inheritance, there will be the inheritance of the gods.
Sally called Lu Chen the Holy Envoy, and dressed him in a layer of "gods", making his rule over the Western Regions more legitimate.
Lu Chen actually didn't like to deify himself, but Sallyan's words were ambiguous, so he acquiesced.
They can only wait for the cultivation realm to communicate with the earth, and then slowly and completely change their way of believing.
This kind of thing still has to be subtle, as long as it works up and down, he believes that two or three generations can completely change.
Sally continued, "The heretics of the temple have all been cleared, and the Holy Envoy is requested to send an oracle to guide the temple forward. ”
The group of Templars and bishops who knelt down said in unison, "Respectfully, the Holy Envoy oracle." ”
Lu Chen flew the prepared jade slip to Sally and said, "On the fifteenth day of July, bring people to Feitian City to attend the meeting. ”
Sally said reverently, "I respect the oracle of the Holy Envoy. ”
Lu Chen didn't say anything else, and the black battleship restarted and left the Temple of Light.
He knew that Sally was a smart person, and after reading Jade Jane, he understood what he wanted.
"Greetings to the Holy Envoy. ”
Sally fell to her knees and watched Lu Chen leave, her eyes shining brightly.
Lu Chen asked her to bring someone to the meeting, which confirmed her status.
She will be Lu Chen's spokesperson in the Western Region.
After the fall of the Twelve God Kings and the collapse of the temple, she sought out the presiding judge of the Inquisition, and used words to trick him into purging fanatical believers and swearing allegiance to Lu Chen.
Her actions are bold and dangerous.
If the presiding judge was also a fanatical believer, she would be the first to be hanged.
But she was right.
The so-called faith is nothing but a means to fool the world.
The Presiding Judge is also a faithful believer in the gods, but is based on the fact that the gods can maintain his position and can give him benefits.
Even the twelve-winged holy angel was crucified to the heavens, and the presiding judge did not have much of a mental struggle, so he listened to Sally's advice and bloodied the fanatical believers who wanted to resist in the corner.
The Twelve Divine Kings have fallen, and the Presiding Judge is the most powerful person in the Temple.
He summoned the archbishops of the Twelve Temples to discuss the next move.
There was no shortage of fanatical believers in the temple, and the archbishops who were the first to express their intention to resist to the end were all killed by him.
Then he joined forces with other people who wanted to give up resistance and be loyal to Lu Chen, and bloodied the rebels together.
At this time, in the eyes of the presiding judge of the Inquisition, anyone who believed in the gods and resisted Lu Chen was a heretic and needed to be hanged.
A bloodbath ended soon in the thunderous tactics of the presiding judge.
There may be some fanatical believers, but they can't make a big storm.
The resistance among the archbishops who were eligible to attend the meeting was all wiped out.
Sally watched coldly in the bloodbath.
When she was bewitching and judging Lu Chen, she pretended to be Lu Chen's person.
Because she was from the same earth as Lu Chen, and had ceded the Temple of Glory to the Dark Council, the presiding judge did not doubt her identity.
Therefore, when Lu Chen arrived, she naturally greeted the arrival of the "Holy Envoy" in front of everyone.
Sally knew that these little tricks of hers would not be able to hide from Lu Chen's eyes.
The reason why he made himself the spokesperson of the Western Regions was because he valued her ability and let her deal with the situation in the Western Regions.
There was a glint of confidence in Sally's eyes, she had grown up in the Temple of Light and knew best what this group of believers needed.
As long as Lu Chen is satisfied, she will be able to sit firmly in her current position.
