Chapters 1283 to 1284, Changes in the World
As ordinary humans continue to enter the Hero World Realm and transform into heroes, many countries have obtained extremely precious Dimensional Gate heroes.
Well, this so-called dimension gate hero can be seen from its name alone.
In fact, it is a hero who can open the dimensional door.
It can be said that with the continuous exploration and development of the Hero World Realm, whether or not there are heroes who open the dimensional gate also determines the true strength of a country in the Hero World Realm.
It's simple.
If you have a Dimension Gate hero, then the heroes of this country can be truly integrated, and through the Dimension Gate, you can support the cities of your own country, and you can concentrate your forces to attack the enemy cities.
The coolest thing is that it can bring the troops recruited in the Hero World Realm to the real World Realm, thus greatly enhancing a country's military strength.
In any case, the strength of the class is much stronger than that of ordinary human soldiers.
The last point is that the heroes can re-enter the Hero World Realm through the dimensional gate after leaving the Hero World Realm, so that the growth rate of the heroes can be accelerated.
According to the information gathered by the hacker intelligence network mastered by Steward James, there should be more than ten countries that now have Dimension Gate heroes, and even some countries have more than two Dimension Gate heroes.
Of course, in this regard, countries with large populations naturally have an inherent advantage.
The reason is very simple, if the population is large, then there will be more heroes, and if there are more heroes, then there will be more heroes who will evolve towards mages. As a result, it is possible to appear as a Dimension Gate Hero.
It's as simple as that.
China, the United States, Russia, India and other populous countries have appeared in the territory of the dimensional gate.
Even Achilles Island has a second Dimension Gate Hero, and Achilles Island, which has two Dimension Gate Heroes, is even more at ease.
It is precisely because of the emergence of dimensional gate heroes in these countries that their energy is directly focused on developing the hero world. As a result, the surrounding environment of Achilles Island has become a lot safer.
Of course, this also has a certain negative impact on Achilles.
This negative impact probably lies in two aspects, the first is that after the domestic expert group sent by the domestic dimension gate hero appeared, he received an order to withdraw, for this reason, Cui Jianguo was embarrassed to explain a lot of time to Lao Ma.
on this. Lao Ma felt a little regretful, but this is also an inevitable thing.
The country has a dimension gate hero and has its own city. After having the ability to independently develop the Hero World Realm, it is impossible to work for Achilles Island Bai.
It's not just about resource sharing.
Of course, immediately after the withdrawal of the domestic expert group, Achilles Island also reached a series of agreements with Laos and the United States on the issue of the captured personnel of the aircraft carrier group.
There is no need for Achilles to continue its stalemate with the United States. And Lao Mei can't wait to rescue the captured people now.
The reason for this is the second negative point.
Summoning Boats. It's no longer a spell or ability unique to Achilles.
It's as simple as that.
Lao Mei needs to rescue the captured people and drive the summoned battleships, as for the captured aircraft carriers and other battleships, it doesn't matter.
Achilles Island, on the other hand, needed to obtain legal missionary rights in the United States, and the withdrawal of the domestic expert group made Lao Mei feel that the time had come for the United States to communicate and win over Achilles Island, and the two hit it off, so that the treaty agreement was successfully reached.
Of course, the construction of such an agreement was originally based on the relationship of interests, and it is impossible to say that the two sides will be so good in the future that they will blend oil in honey.
It's just that both sides want to take this opportunity to make their own plans.
Lao Mei wants to build the most powerful military strength and expand the power of the hero world.
And Achilles Island is naturally focused on the expansion of the Poseidon Church.
Less than three days after the agreement was reached. Thirty people, including Li Dawan, an outstanding and outstanding missionary pastor of the Nichimaru branch of the Poseidon Church, boarded a plane bound for the United States.
At this time, the procurement staff sent by James's butler had already purchased real estate in the United States and rebuilt the church.
For now. The development momentum of the entire Poseidon Church is very good, at least in the country of Himaru, and the influence of the Poseidon Church has increased dramatically over time.
In the first year alone, the number of believers in the country of Himaru grew to 400,000.
In the second year, the number of believers in the country of Himaru went straight to the million mark.
In fact, this development of believers is akin to doing business.
If the initial capital is only 100 yuan, then it is more difficult to earn 200 yuan.
If the initial capital is one million, then it is relatively easier to earn two million.
The same is true of this development of believers.
When you only have a few hundred believers, it is difficult to develop more believers, but if the number of believers reaches a certain level, then the spontaneous preaching of believers alone is enough to attract many believers to the Church.
Of course, don't look at the number of believers in the Poseidon Church now, but there are not many devout believers in it.
No, due to the continuous development of science, human beings in modern society think that they have mastered the absolute truth between heaven and earth, so they are extremely impetuous, even if they are believers in some old churches, the faith is not too pious, it is just a kind of spiritual sustenance.
This is completely different from the beliefs of ancient times.
In ancient times, primitive humans believed in lightning, the earth, the sun, etc., although the gods they believed in may be plural and not singular, but because they did not understand the origin of the various powers of nature, they were extremely devout in their belief in these gods.
Because in their eyes, whether it is lightning, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, the sunlight given by the sun is a miracle performed by the gods.
For modern human beings, all this has a reasonable explanation under the development of science, lightning is generated by electric charge transfer, and earthquakes are the release of energy stored in the earth's crust. The sun, on the other hand, is a large fireball that is constantly undergoing nuclear polymerization.
In this way, there are no miracles, and there is no reverence. Without reverence, there is no pious faith.
Therefore, if you want to say that the best believer is the most pure-minded and ignorant primitive human.
In addition to this, due to the launch of Achilles TV, it is in an area around Achilles. However, there were some surprises, and some viewers who watched TV programs became pan-believers in Cheng Kong.
All this is in Cheng Kong's grasp, of course. Cheng Kong only used less than 10% of his attention to receive information from the outside world, and the rest of his attention was still on the analysis of the rules in front of him.
Time passed bit by bit, and some golden light gradually flashed on Cheng Kong's body.
This kind of golden light that gradually flickered was not under Cheng Kong's control.
This is a process of accumulating energy. With the repeated struggle of the demon's fingers with the power of the palace rules. The rules analyzed by Cheng Kong not only complement the divinity of the sea god, but also add some red and yellow brilliance to the sea god's divinity.
Red is an enhancement of the divinity of the flames, while yellow radiance is an enhancement of the divinity of the earth.
In addition to these two unexpected gains, a trace of black was also generated in Cheng Kong's body, similar to the product of divinity.
Although Cheng Kong didn't know much about this black product, he could also feel the evil aura coming from this black product.
This evil aura even made Cheng Kong have some impulses that he would not normally have at all, such as wanting to destroy the earth and other things when he couldn't help it.
After discovering this, Cheng Kong decisively separated the black product from his body. Bound in a ball of water.
Obviously, this is probably a by-product of the demon's fingers. Cheng Kong had no intention of turning himself into a powerful demon full of destructive and tyrannical characteristics.
One year, two years, three years, as time passed, the number of such black products appeared more and more, so that the black products in the water balloon were almost the size of a finger.
Of course, Cheng Kong's whole body was also shining golden at this time, like a human-shaped golden light bulb.
is about to ignite the divine fire, Cheng Kong already has a certain understanding of how to ignite the divine fire, but because of this, Cheng Kong also understands the danger of igniting the divine fire.
There is an incomparably huge gap between igniting the Divine Fire and not lighting it!
If you can successfully ignite the divine fire, then you can completely get rid of the mortal realm and become a demigod, and at the same time a true god, even if it is only the weakest true god.
If nothing else, a demigod who ignites a divine fire can exist forever.
This is eternity, this is immortality!
Even if this demigod falls for various reasons, there is a certain chance that he will return from the long river of time!
Of course, due to limitations for some reason, this odds are not too great.
In the second year, under Lao Ma's arrangement, Poseidon Church selected some of the more outstanding pastors from the Himaru Country branch as vanguards and threw them into Europe, Africa and other places, with a number of about 300 people.
At this time, the Himaru country basically became the base for the priest to deepen the training of the Poseidon Church.
Every month, there is a batch of new pastors about hundreds of people on Achilles Island, who happily go to the country of Himaru to receive retraining from those senior pastors, so as to gradually grow into a qualified official pastor.
This shows the importance of this day pill country to the Poseidon Church.
But in the third year, Himaru Kuni's attitude towards the Poseidon Church quickly changed from his previous indifference to hostility.
Of course, this is not a sudden change, but a little transformation.
The person in charge of Achilles Island, who was responsible for procuring land in the country of Himaru to build a church, felt perhaps the most immediate.
In the past, this person in charge of purchasing land, building churches, and accompanying Yunyun in various parts of Himaru not to mention dignitaries, but at least he was regarded as a big investor, and the local governments were fully cooperative and actively provided services in order to stimulate the economy.
However, with a certain change in the direction of the wind, the person in charge felt that things were not going well, and later, a series of affairs such as the place where the person in charge went, the purchase of land and the construction were affected, so that Achilles Island's plan to expand another 3,000 churches in the country of Himaru soon fell into a quagmire.
Not only that, but there is also a threat to the Poseidon Church in public opinion, and the specific argument is if you join the Poseidon Church. They will become non-nationals, and they will not be able to guarantee the safety of their lives, property, etc.
Even a Poseidon church was stolen. Several pastors were attacked by the mob, and when the police arrived at the scene, several pastors came back from the hospital after bandaging, and the action was extremely slow, and even the pastors provided clear surveillance footage, and more than a month had passed, and the case had not been solved.
It is said that the thieves even sent threatening letters to the church. Send bullets, daggers and things like that.
There are also some members of the Extreme Dao Organization who have nothing to do to do after collecting the benefit fee and marching on the streets of some cities with banners, and after gathering a group of people, they go to storm the Poseidon Church and carry out a series of criminal activities such as smashing and looting the Poseidon Church.
But such behavior has not been curbed.
Thus. Under the influence of such public opinion and reality, many believers who are afraid of becoming non-nationals quit the Poseidon Church in fear. For a time, the Poseidon Church in many places reached Saturday and Sunday, and there were only a few people in the Mass hall. It makes those pastors look a little listless when they lead believers to pray.
As a result, the trend of the Poseidon Church's number of believers in the Himaru Kingdom for two consecutive years was suppressed. Today, the total number of followers of the Poseidon Church in the country of Himaru has exceeded 1.3 million, although this number is far less than that of the local Shinto religion or even the foreign God Sect, but for a new sect, it can be regarded as extremely prosperous.
It has been more than twenty or thirty years since many new sects developed, but the number of believers is only a few hundred thousand.
The number of new believers is decreasing, and many have left the church. The matter was immediately noticed by Steward James, and reported to the old horse sitting on the island of Achilles.
Well. Now within the realm of the Heroic World, the potential power range of Achilles Island has also developed to a bottleneck stage.
It's not that Lao Ma and the others don't have the desire to continue to expand their territory, but after the countries of the World Lu Realm began to develop the Hero World Realm on a large scale, the cities occupied by the countries of the World Continent have sprung up around the power of Achilles Island like mushrooms after a rain.
After all, there are too many countries on the planet, and more than a hundred countries are scattered in the world of heroes, so it is not strange to meet the power of Achilles Island.
To say that with the military power of Achilles Island in the world of heroes, it is not difficult to bulldoze these cities.
However, due to the need to develop the Poseidon Church on the earth and promote the faith, Achilles Island can be regarded as a rat bogey, so for Achilles Island, try to avoid conflicts with other countries in the heroic world, so as to avoid affecting the spread of the Poseidon Church's faith.
But for Achilles, it's not a bad thing.
After all, in Cheng Kong's opinion, even if he occupied more cities in the Hero World Realm, it would not help him to ignite the divine fire.
Now the key is the spread of faith.
Therefore, when Lao Ma passed the news that the Himaru Kingdom began to restrict the Poseidon Church intentionally or unintentionally, to Cheng Kong, and said that he would carry out a devastating blow to the more than ten cities occupied by the Hishimaru Kingdom in the Hero World Realm to deter Himaru, Cheng Kong vetoed this proposal.
For Cheng Kong, igniting the divine fire is right in front of him! If the divine fire is ignited, then these things will not become an obstacle to the spread of faith in the Poseidon Church, and therefore there will be no need to cause more trouble in the world of heroes.
After all, in terms of the huge strength of Achilles Island in the Heroic World Realm, it is too eye-catching, so that the countries of the World Continent have always had a faint vigilance and vigilance against Achilles Island.
If you rashly capture the city occupied by the Himaru Province in the Heroic World Realm, and the rabbit dies and the fox is sad, I am afraid that the rest of the countries are likely to join forces to deal with Achilles Island.
In this way, it will cause a great obstacle to the spread of faith in the Poseidon Church.
"Leave him alone, you wait patiently."
After Cheng Kong sent a somewhat clueless sentence to Lao Ma and the others through the spiritual link, he moved his attention back.
To this day, Cheng Kong has not been in contact with the outside world for half a year, and even if the Hichimaru Kingdom launched a new round of actions to squeeze out the Poseidon Church, Cheng Kong has not returned any information.
It is said that the parliament of the Hishimaru country is meeting to discuss a bill to put the Poseidon Church on the list of cults.
After the news of this incident came out, Achilles Island immediately used some connections to try to veto the bill.
If this bill is passed, then the blow to the Poseidon Church can be imagined.
In modern society, no country exists independently, and there are all kinds of complex relationships and interests linked with each other, so if the Himaru country puts the Poseidon Church on the list of cults to prohibit the spread of faith, then many countries are likely to announce a series of prohibitions related to the Poseidon Church.
In this way, even if Cheng Kong comes out, I am afraid it will be difficult to recover the situation.
The only thing that makes Lao Ma and others happy is that the few parliamentarians that Toyotomi Koji has been supporting with money are very hard, and on the first day of discussing this bill, these parliamentarians directly broke out a series of conflicts with the proposers, throwing shoes, slapping them, etc., creating a series of chaos in the parliament, and finally succeeded in delaying the matter.
For the rest of the year, as soon as the Nichimaru Council discussed the bill, it was in a state of chaos, making it impossible for the discussion meeting to continue.
In this way, it gave the Poseidon Church a chance to breathe.
However, this can only delay the discussion of the bill, and once the majority of the parliamentarians reach a consensus, I am afraid that even if those few parliamentarians run naked and play around, they will not be able to prevent the passage of the bill.
Yang Tian and the others put forward a plan to use force, but they were temporarily suppressed by Lao Ma.
After all, this is not the same as capturing the aircraft carrier fleet and attacking Great Britain on the island turtle, once the force is dispatched to prevent the passage of the bill by the Hishimaru Parliament, then it is interference in the internal affairs of other countries.
This is not the same as simply sabotage, and it will also provoke public outrage in the rest of the country. (To be continued......)
