Chapter 240: Unscientific Beliefs (I)
Blue Mercury, White Sand Anchorage.
Standing on the Lidong, the fleet did not change much, as usual, but Tianming still noticed that the atmosphere around him was a little abnormal.
"His Majesty the God King!" A blue star man knelt and said.
"His Majesty the God King!" A few more Blue Star people knelt down.
"His Majesty the God King is back!" One shouted.
"You haven't been in the storm lately, have you? Is there an enemy? Why have these Blue Star people even changed what they call me? ”
Look at the bow of the Lidong, there is a huge statue, the statue is 3 meters high, this is its own statue, there are many intricate words engraved on it.
This statue must have just been carved, and the stone statue placed on the island of the Ritsu was broken in the waves.
"Elder Maiga is here."
Elder Maiga, dressed in a white robe, walked over, holding something in his hand, followed by many people, with a stern and solemn expression, and walked towards Tianming.
There seemed to be a 'sacred' smell in the air.
Dozens of soldiers holding conch arms quickly stepped forward, standing in two rows on the deck, "Buzz~~Buzz~~~Buzz~~~" The conch in their hands was blown in unison, and the melody spread throughout the surrounding sea area for several kilometers.
The other Blue Star people on the ship, including the elderly, women, and children, also meticulously sorted out their clothes and faced the Lidong in unison, staring at the man standing next to the statue at the bow of the ship.
"Old man, what are you doing here?" Tianming looked at Elder Maiga in front of him in surprise.
"Put on the crown for His Majesty the God King!"
Several soldiers ran over, squatted on the ground, and built a ladder, and Elder Maiga stepped on the ladder and put a crown made of colored coral on Tianming, who was a lot taller than him, and the top of the crown was inlaid with a blue crystal.
"This?" Tianming was even more surprised. Wearing a crown? What does that mean?
"Put on the holy robe for His Majesty the God King!"
Elder Maiga took out a neatly stacked purple robe from the wooden tray held by a blue star girl next to him, and put it on for Tianming.
Seeing that Elder Maiga was too short, Tianming wanted to half-squat down to make it easier for him to put it on, but Elder Maiga stopped him, "The God King doesn't have to bend his legs and bend over", and then stepped on the back of a soldier and put on Tianming's holy robe.
Finally, a newly made scepter was placed in Tianming's hand for the entire coronation ceremony. It's finally done.
"Lift the throne out." Elder Maiga said to the soldiers behind him.
Soon, a seat with many mysterious patterns carved on the surface was carried out by twenty soldiers and placed next to Tianming.
"What is this?"
Elder Maijia took Tianming's hand and said to the people around us: "We have believed in the god king and the god of the sea all our lives, and we have never forgotten to pray twice a day in the morning and at sunset, hoping that God will lead us out of the sea of suffering. Our faith is not ungodly, but our piety has not been rewarded with God's mercy and redemption. God has forsaken us, or the God we originally believed in, forsaken us...... A man appeared. He saved us, saved us all, and He is the Son of God who came down on the sea, ours"
"God!" The Blue Star people around shouted loudly.
"To God. What should we do? ”
"Believe in Him!"
"By what faith?"
"Our lives and souls."
"Meet His Majesty the God King!"
Under the leadership of Elder Maiga, everyone knelt down and looked reverently to the sky. willingly gave up their faith.
……
"It's not scientific!"
Tianming still thinks this kind of thing is too absurd.
Yesterday, after Elder Maijia completed the coronation ceremony of the god king for him, he felt that something was wrong that night, and when he was resting, in his sleep, he felt a lot of voices appeared in his head, these voices were all from the Blue Star, very mixed and messy, as if he was in an assembly hall, and what was even more strange was that Tianming understood the meaning of these voices, mostly some prayers, blessings and other words, and the meaning was very clear.
The most important thing is that he can understand the words of the Blue Star people.
For example, when he got up in the morning, Tianming understood what the golden melon seed and another guard who were guarding the door of the lounge said, and discussed the question of who was the strongest, the golden melon seed said that he was the strongest, and the guard said that the new one named Nabo was the strongest, and he was a high-ranking chosen warrior.
The golden melon seed said with some contempt: "I heard Gakka say that he has defeated the Chosen Warrior, nothing powerful, I can defeat that Nabo!" ”
Jinguazi has always believed that he is the strongest guard under his master, and when he suddenly heard someone say that others were better than him, he was naturally very unconvinced, and he wanted to talk to Nabo.
"His Majesty the God King!" The guards stand on the right path.
"His Majesty the God King!" After the golden melon seeds next to him saw Tianming, they immediately straightened their standing posture.
"Excuse me, just call me master." Tianming is still not used to the title of God King Xià.
"Yes, Lord ......" Jin Gua Zi's face suddenly shocked, Lord... The host said what we said.
Tianming said indeed the Blue Star dialect, the authentic Blue Star dialect, after waking up, the previous difficult to learn how to learn the Blue Star dialect, now unintentionally, casually said it, fluent and clear like the original Blue Star people.
"What will the master say about us? His Majesty the God King will speak our words! The golden melon seed shouted loudly, and for a time spread the news throughout the fleet.
……
Tianming approached Elder Mega and asked him about what had happened to him last night.
"Old, what the hell is going on?" Tianming took off the crown from his head and placed it on the table and asked.
"Your Majesty, Honorable God King, you have now become the God King of our faith, you can feel your sea of faith, if I guess correctly, there is already a rope of faith in it."
"Sea of Faith?"
Elder Maiga passed the rope of faith in his own head and sent a message to Tianming's mind: This is your sea of faith.
A clear voice sounded in his head, Tianming was startled, approached this voice, and found himself in a void, in the center of the void, there was a glowing gem, and connected to this glowing gem was nearly a hundred luminous white lines of different thicknesses.
This thread. It is the rope of faith that Elder Mega said.
Elder Maiga stood up, walked to the bookshelf, picked up a book, and said slowly: "In a school of whales, there will be such a king, who swims in front of the school of fish, leading the school of fish forward, sensing the direction, and avoiding the undercurrent. When encountering a powerful predator, it bares its teeth. Rush to the front and fight the fiercest predators, the more powerful this king is, the stronger this whale group will be. ”
"We are like a school of fish, but we are weak, and the undercurrents and hunters we face are extremely strong, and we lack a king to lead the fish."
Elder Mega turned. Facing Tianming: "You, you are the king, in you, I see responsibility, courage and hope!" Only you. can lead us through the apocalypse, only you, can give us hope of survival, you. It's our chosen God! ”
"Doomsday? God? Tianming's heart was shocked, what doomsday? What God?
Elder Maiga continued: "The Savior of the New Era, King Pula, once said: The reason why man believes in God. Not because of God's strength, but because of God's mercy and redemption. The greatness of God lies not in the grandeur of the statue, but in the mercy of God. We choose to believe in you and bow down every day in the hope that you will shoulder the responsibility of God, that when you become strong, you should ward off calamities for me, and when your god is like a great and lofty god, you should still love all people, so that we can maintain our loyalty. ”
"Our faith contract is equal, I believe in God, God protects me, if God does not fulfill His promise, does not fulfill His mission, believers naturally have the right to abandon their God, cut the rope of faith, and no longer provide faith, this is the right of believers, but also the freedom of believers, even if the God King is angry and deprives us of our lives."
Elder Maiga, who is proficient in spiritual manipulation, of course, knows the secrets of faith, and also knows the consequences of becoming a believer, if it is a gentle god, he may not draw a large amount of the believer's faith power, but if it is a cruel god, he will not only draw a large amount of the believer's faith power, but may even deprive the believers of their thoughts, and convert the believers into fanatical believers and puppets at will, and the believers will completely lose their freedom and become a slave or tool.
This is something that Mega does not want to see.
What Maiga has always believed in is the goddess of the sea, which is a fictional god, although there will also be a rope of faith, but the god of the sea will not extract the faith of the believer, on the contrary, the more devout the belief in the god of the sea, the more faith the sea will feed back, through guò In this way, the god of the sea priest who believes in the sea god can practice much faster than the god king priest who believes in the god king.
Of course, this is when the God King does not return divine power.
The belief in the goddess of the sea is broad and broad, and the believers are free, but the end is coming, and in the face of endless death threats, Elder Maiga has to change his mind and has the intention of cultivating a god king.
This god king is naturally Tianming.
There are three things that make Elder Mega determined: first, he has the ark, the ark that symbolizes the hope of life; Second, he has a powerful divine power, as well as mysterious space divine power; Third, although he is a foreign race, he is approachable, gentle and kind, and selflessly gives a lot, but he never takes the initiative to ask for anything, which is really commendable.
After getting along with each other over time, Elder Maiga felt that he was a qualified god-king, and believing in him was a wise choice.
The end has come, and only the strong can lead the weak to survive. Only by believing in the strong and making the strong stronger, can the strong shelter more believers.
……
"So I became your god?"
Tianming is still a mush, what Elder Maijia said is too informative, and there are a lot of allusions in the middle, this god king and that god king, which means one, he has become a god, more than 34,000 people in the fleet, all of them have become believers in him, he, the god king, must protect them Yunyun, Tianming was said to be very dizzy.
"Old man, you still start from the beginning, what is going on with this apocalypse?"
Elder Maiga picked up a few books and told Tianming about the legends of the end and the history of the Blue Star people, and Tianming finally understood it completely.
It turns out that Blue Mercury does not always have such big waves, but because the eighth epoch is coming to an end and the ninth epoch is about to begin.
At the end of the old era, before the beginning of the new era, the planet will experience a great flood that will last for ten years, and this flood will sweep across the land, destroying all living beings, and no more than one hundred people will survive.
It's now the 192nd year of the Eighth Age, the end of the world, and it's been less than two years, and as the Demon Star continues to approach, in a few years, the flood will get bigger and bigger, and it will be difficult for any ship to survive except for the Ark.
Moreover, due to the influence of the deflection of the Earth's axis, the great vortex that appears at the North Pole of Blue Mercury will also appear after a period of time, when the axis of the earth deflects to the South Pole, and the polar day appears at the South Pole, and after the glacier completely melts, the Antarctic Vortex will also appear.
Because Blue Mercury is relatively large, the speed of deflection of the Earth's axis is slower, and this cycle is about three years.
That is, after a year and a half in the Antarctic, Tianming's fleet will have to return to the North Pole.
This time is roughly equivalent to 200 days on Earth.
"At the end of the decade, six times crossed, what perseverance did these Blue Star people rely on to survive?"
Tianming admired these Blue Star people a little, such a big disaster, they were able to survive eight epochs and pass on civilization, how strong is the indomitable spirit in their bodies?
Back to the question of faith.
The end is coming, it is not enough to have an ark, there must also be a powerful god king and a priest army, only these people together with the ark controlled by divine power, can cross the whirlpool sea and the wall of the world in the back and forth of the North and South Poles.
If the god-king is not strong enough, and the number of priests is not enough, even the ark may sink - there are more than 30 arks recorded in eight epochs, but 15 are still famous.
The new ark of the Lidong made a high-profile appearance in the southern hemisphere, and the coveting of various forces must have emerged in an endless stream, including the Pangmen God King that Elder Maijia also saw last time.
To the south, there is more than one god king who is more powerful than Pang Men.
Therefore, when Tianming returned to Earth, Elder Maijia called several older old priests over, and after discussing for a while, Elder Maijia held a general meeting, announced the declaration of belief in the new god king to all the Blue Star people, and delivered an impassioned speech, which was unanimously supported and supported by 34,000 Blue Star people.
What about meeting such a powerful and benevolent master, even if you change your faith?
Some people are even more happy, in their hearts, the master has long been in the first place, they have long begun to believe in him, but now the faith is a little more thorough.
Elder Maiga began to dig up sea stones, carve stone statues, carve crowns, cut holy clothes, cast divine thrones, and choose saints......
After chatting with Elder Maijia for a day and a night, he finally figured everything out, and Tianming's doubts were all gone, and he was only full of emotion in his heart.
"Is this the reward you get for beating a large dungeon? If so, then the reward is simply too great. ”
