Chapter 375: The Supreme Humane Priesthood
Giving birth to a powerful priesthood of the God-King?
Tarn's mind raced: And it involves His Highness Ceres?
The god of ceres, Loya, seized the priesthood of wealth, and was already qualified to attack the main god in the rehearsal of the gods of agriculture. But would this deprive her of the possibility of obtaining the most humane priesthood?
After the concubine left, Tarn didn't dare to stay here for long, packed all the books and left in a hurry, going to the temple of Saturnalia to meet the god of plants.
Seeing Tarn's smooth return, the plant god relieved his heart and asked with concern, "She didn't embarrass you, did she?"
"The Mother Goddess has taken a stand and does not interfere in the struggle of our brothers. As long as we don't take the second brother's life, she won't ask. β
"That's good. When Suri loses his priesthood, he is just an ordinary high-ranking god, who wants to trouble him? As long as he is well-behaved, I don't have that much spare time. β
"That's right. Tarn asked his friend, "Which priesthood do you think is the most powerful among the humane priesthoods?"
On the way back, Tarn himself thought about it for a long time.
Humanity, could it be that the three talents of heaven, earth and man are together, so there is a powerful priesthood comparable to the god king level on the humanitarian side?
The Yuanmeng universe evolved with the three creation gods of heaven, earth and water, so the origin priesthood of the three creation gods can all evolve the power of the god king.
But with the fall of the Sea Emperor, the two gods of heaven and earth came out together. It leads to the evolution of the laws of the universe into another strange process.
The Heavenly King is keenly aware of the direction of fate and chooses to support the Heavenly Concubine to control the fate node. In addition to the two major god systems of the gods of heaven and the earth (the god of the underworld), the humane god system was created to control the process of the rise of the gods of humane faith.
The humane gods cooperate with the gods of heaven and earth, which is the pattern of the three talents of heaven, earth and man. Moreover, a powerful divine rank that unifies all the human priesthoods is indeed comparable to the god king level.
The plant god thought for a moment: "The scope of humane priesthood and conceptual priesthood is similar, but different. The conceptual priesthood includes space, time, war, memory, and many other fields, and all artificially defined priesthoods belong to the conceptual realm. However, space-time is a natural phenomenon and the cornerstone of the objective existence of the world. Only on the humanitarian side are acquired priesthoods such as memory and war. β
"But to say which of the humane priesthoods is the strongestβthe priesthood must be excluded from the powerful concept of 'time,' and the time-related priesthood of aging and history must be discarded only in terms of its impact on humanity. β
"The priesthood of love, war, wisdom, and memory involves all of humanity, is the inevitable behavior of human beings, and naturally occupies the most powerful source of faith. β
"The second is the natural protector that affects various industries. Like the god of law, the god of forging, the god of commerce, and so on, judges, craftsmen, and merchants are believers who are naturally subordinate to the gods. These priesthoods reflect the progress of civilization and are extremely important priesthoods. β
"In the end, it's the protector god of such and such a city-state, or the god evolved from the totem spirit. They don't even have the power to win the worship of believers widely, and their faith is confined to every square corner. β
The plant gods are older and have studied the human gods. He methodically divided the humane side of the priesthood one by one.
In addition to the god Tarn, the goddess of Rifeng and the goddess of Jinmai also came over and listened to him quietly.
But when the god of plants classified the "god of agriculture" into the second-class industrial priesthood, the goddess of Nippon was dissatisfied.
"Your Highness, our Saturnalia is very powerful, and we can indirectly control the life and death of all mankind through food, how can we only be regarded as second-class priesthoods?
"That's right, the simple god of agriculture and the god of commerce belong to the gods of the industry. The plant god earnestly said, "For many people are not engaged in agriculture and cannot provide us with faith." Can you expect a judge to be as devout as a peasant?"
"But His Highness Ceres, through the power of the god of agriculture and the god of wealth, is qualified to attack the main god. is also the god of the industry, the god of navigation, the god of identification, and the god of textiles, how can he not attack the main god?"
"This is because the priesthoods of the 'god of agriculture' and the 'god of wealth' are huge and have a large number of believers. β
"But that's not all. "The god of ceres, Luoya, did not know when he walked to his god's seat. After seeing the two sisters plus Yuanxi also come in, he explained to the goddess Niphong: "Antimony is right, the priesthood of pure agriculture and commerce belongs to the gods of industry, and they can't even touch the essence of human beings. β
"But the 'good harvest' as a common prayer for all human beings has led to an elevation of the status of our god of agriculture. β
"Who doesn't want a bumper crop, who doesn't want to have enough food and clothing?"
"Therefore, 'abundance' and 'wealth' are the good wishes of all mankind. The leading gods of these two industries have the same status as the gods of wisdom, love, and memory. β
"In the same way, mankind's yearning for 'justice' will also lead the God of judgment and law to the throne of the Lord God. Ceres glanced at Tarn meaningfully.
Thinking of his old-fashioned eldest brother, Tarn was a little touched in his heart.
"The main deity on the humanitarian side is different from the natural side, and the throne of the main deity is condensed with the priesthood on the humanitarian side, and it must cater to the most essential prayers of all human beings. My choice is to have a good harvest and wealth, to meet the most basic needs of human beings for food and clothing. β
Luo Ya continued to say to the goddess Rifeng: "Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, seeing that I can influence the course of civilization and affect the agricultural output of the entire continent, they feel that my divine authority can be very powerful. But I knew in my heart that my strength was not even the most powerful in the humane priesthood, not even the highest level. β
"In terms of essence or not, my god, the Goddess of Hunger, is closer to the essence of humanity than I am. β
Without agriculture, mortals could feed themselves by animal husbandry or by picking fruits.
But hunger is an inevitable part of human metabolism. Because I am hungry, I have to eat.
In a sense, the goddess of hunger is a rival to Ceres. Their goal as the main gods is the same, which is to fulfill the good wishes of mortals for "food and clothing".
It's a pity that the goddess of hunger is weak and shallow-sighted, and she can't be compared to the god of grains at all. The eldest daughter of the Earth Mother brought the goddess of hunger under her command through her own means, and regarded hunger as a kind of ability for her to punish mortals.
At present, in the understanding of mortals, the god of agriculture is the great god of people's livelihood and clothing, and the goddess of hunger is only her vassal.
Tarn: "In the opinion of His Highness, what is the strongest priesthood on the humanitarian side?"
Looking at the appearance of this goddess, it seems that she understands the essence of the priesthood very well, and has her own understanding. So, did she voluntarily renounce the most powerful humane priesthood?
"The priesthood, which deals with the essence of humanity, is the strongest. Memory is a treasure that human beings must have, and only with memory can we shape personality. War, because strife is an unavoidable root of human inferiority, is also powerful. Wisdom, which represents the accumulation of knowledge and talent of mortals, is the inevitable evolution of civilization. β
"But to say the strongest...... The most basic motive force that drives mortal activity is 'desire'. β
"Desire is the most powerful priesthood of mortals. Desire for survival, curiosity, competition, love...... These desires are the driving force behind the development of humane civilization. It is precisely on the basis of mortal desires for us that the corresponding humane priesthood is condensed. β
Tarn bowed his head and pondered: Desire? Then look at it this way, isn't the strongest priesthood on the human side in the hands of the Mother Goddess? But if this is the case, why does the Mother Goddess specifically remind me? And His Highness Ceres, who is a little far away from this priesthood.
The god of love, according to the elaboration of the celestial concubine, is love, which is based on human emotions and primitive eros. She is in charge of this kind of priesthood, controlling everything with the most primitive power of eros, thus deriving many priesthoods such as seven emotions and six desires.
This priesthood can almost be called the driving force of human activity. But if even this priesthood cannot be considered the strongest of the humane priesthood, then what priesthood can be considered the strongest?
But Ceres is a bit far from this realm. Is it necessary to regard hunger as the most basic instinct of human beings, so as to sublimate the priesthood of desire?
Tarn thought about it, he vaguely felt that there was something wrong with Ceres's words, but he had to admit that the mother and son were very reasonable.
The essence of mortal worship to the gods is to pray to the gods for a better life.
The "desire", which is the driving force of mortal life, is undoubtedly the most powerful.
Think about it, the prayer of all mankind for food and clothing and stability can prompt the god of agriculture to ascend to the throne of the main god. The prayer for abundant wealth can lead the god of wealth to the altar. And the scale of this priesthood, which unites all desires, can be called the strongest in human beings.
"Tarn, I don't know why you're pursuing the 'Most Humane Priesthood'. But strictly speaking, your mother goddess is the closest to this priesthood. β
"Well, that's the end of the conversation. Yagami arrived, and we continued to discuss the agricultural plan. The new year is over, and the new year is about to begin spring planting. We need to redefine the annual output of the countries of the earth. β
"According to the plan, this year is still a bumper harvest in the summer country. However, the other kingdoms need to be slightly regulated, and the ordinary city-states will be further suppressed, forcing the disintegration of the land states and forming a new era of federations or alliances. β
......
After the meeting of the gods of agriculture, Motoki informed Ji Raku of the words of the gods.
But at this moment, Ji Le was immersed in the tragic fate of the national spirits, considering the plan to build a Xia civilization circle and completely shelter the surrounding national spirits, and he was in no mood to pay attention to Yuan Xi at all.
When Yuan Xi asked about the strongest priesthood of humanity, Ji Le looked a little impatient.
"The strongest humane priesthood?" he said casually, "Eros is not worthy." β
"What's the use of so many divisions of the humane priesthood? At the most basic level, the humane ministry exists because of human beings. β
"If humanity and heaven and earth stand side by side, then the 'human being' itself is regarded as a priesthood, which is the most powerful. β
"Of course, there are too many races in the human race, and humans are only one of many living things. You see, the God of Wisdom created the spirit to ascend to the throne of the Lord God. This shows that a single and powerful race god is comparable to the main god. The god of mankind is strong enough to be the most powerful main god and stand at the pinnacle of the gods. As for the priesthood comparable to that of the god-king......"
Ji Le came back to his senses and thought of the "dispute between a hundred countries and ten thousand races" mentioned by the Earth Mother God in the catastrophe of fate.
Yuan Xi hurriedly asked, "What is that priesthood?"
"Nature is life. Ji Le's expression was a little serious, and he sorted out the relationship between the creators of the Heavenly King, the Earth Mother and the Heavenly Concubine in his mind......
In an instant, Ji Le jumped up from the throne and put on his coat again.
"Come on, drive to Hades!"
