Chapter 130: The Church of the Seven Gods, Time Changes; The influence of modern society on the gods
The Church of the Seven Gods, the seven main gods are:
Lord of the Storm and the Sea, Lord of Eternal Light, God of Knowledge and Wisdom, Goddess of Wealth and Love, Mother Earth, God of War, Goddess of the Night.
On this planet, the blue sea occupies most of the area, and the sky storm is so terrifying that it is almost impossible to cross it by manpower, taking the sky storm south of Provence as an example, if it is not for its natural dissipation, it will be difficult for people on this continent to explore and reach the new southern world for at least one or two hundred years.
But from another point of view, what is behind the storm, no one knows, is a new land full of gold? Or will it be like now, and it will directly lead to a war of civilizations? No one knows at all.
Therefore, with the power of the storm and the sea, this god lord is so powerful that even the Eternal Light Lord has to take a back seat in front of him, although the power of the Eternal Light Lord is also extremely powerful.
In the Age of Ancient Magic, the Lord of the Storm was a powerful god, and when he appeared in front of the world again for more than a thousand years, he was much calmer, but still did not change his formidable nature.
Believers in the Lord of the Storm and the Sea are coastal humans, fishermen, and even the mighty hunters of the rainforest.
Especially the tribes of the rainforest, who have remained unwavering in their sacrifices during the long millennia of the Storm Lord's slumber, although this is due to a combination of many reasons, the Storm Lord still gives his faithful servants a rich reward after awakening. Without their continued help, the Lord of the Storm might not have been able to claim the authority of the seas!
Eternal light domination, symbolizing light, the sun, justice, hope, the coverage of believers is the most extensive among the seven gods, after all, the vast majority of ordinary people have a natural affinity for light, for the sun, his church is also the strongest, the power of the Holy See of light radiates to all countries, and even controls the politics of some countries.
However, with the development of the times, due to the lack of a strong deterrent, although there are many believers in the Eternal Light Lord, most of them are shallow believers, and believers are more inclined to take than give something, which leads to the Eternal Light Lord, although shepherding sentient beings, is somewhat large and weak.
The concept of gods feeding on the faith of all beings, although somewhat biased, is not entirely unreasonable, and when the believer's faith is no longer religious, and it is full of many worldly desires and distractions, the faith received by God will not be pure. Just like harvesting rice mixed with sand, it must be filtered before it can be eaten.
If the harvested rice is half mixed with sand, then it's okay, but if most of it is sand, but there are only a few rice, then this income is not good!
Of course, even so, because the Eternal Light Lord's base disk is so large enough, He is still very powerful, especially in this day and age, and is getting stronger and stronger over time.
The god of knowledge and wisdom is driving the development of this era, science and technology is the primary productive force, and it is also the extraordinary power that benefits the ordinary people the most, so the god of knowledge and wisdom is actually not particularly powerful in the ancient magic era, at least in such a high-end church of the seven gods, this god should not be among them.
However, time has passed, and this weak god in the ancient magic era is now being dug into his own god system by the Lord of Eternal Light at any cost, because in the past thousand years, the faith power accumulated by human belief in "science" has been too strong, and the height of this god has been infinitely improved. The god of knowledge and wisdom is arguably the luckiest of the Church of the Seven, and he wins by lying down veritably and inexplicably.
The goddess of wealth and love, originally two goddesses, but now I don't know why they are combined into one, and its emblem is made up of the combination of the left and right half of the faces of the two goddesses, although there are extreme examples, but in this era, wealth and love have become twins, and in most cases, the lack of one cannot obtain the other.
"You say you love her, but you never want to give her happiness, you watch her accompany you to eat and sleep, wander around, and ask yourself if you are selfish or love her?"
Of course, on the positive side, if a person really has sincere love, then love will stimulate the unlimited potential of men, to obtain social wealth, unremitting efforts, in today's society, huge wealth is difficult to obtain, but a steady stream of wealth, can still be obtained.
From a woman's point of view, even if you don't like the old man in front of you who can already be your father, this old man can give you a superior life, help your family, and satisfy your various desires. He can protect his wealth well, and even continue to increase in value, for a long time, can there really be no trace of love?
Love has always been a high-end luxury, this concept was first born in the Middle Ages between a noble lady and a knight, originally needed a lot of money as irrigation, at that time, the folk did not have the concept of love.
It was only later that it became popular among the nobility, and it slowly spread to the people, and it was difficult to grasp the essence of it.
The priesthood of Mother Earth God mainly covers the fields of agriculture and medicine, and some radiation extensions. Modern society: "Whoever controls oil controls all countries; Whoever controls the currency controls the global economy; Whoever controls the grain controls the human race. ”
The more basic the power, the more terrifying power can be extended, the followers of the Mother Earth Goddess are mainly farmers and nurses, she is a gentle and generous god, she has a high reputation in the ancient magic age, and of course, when the good old man is angry, it is also indescribably terrible.
The god of war, his emblem is a blood-stained battle axe, although he was quite weak when he just woke up, after all, mankind has been peaceful for a long time, but with the arrival of the transcendent era, with the start of the civilization war on the continent, this ancient god is recovering rapidly.
Sometimes gods don't need faith, an existence like the god of war, as long as there is a constant war in this dimensional world, the force of war will continue to boil, and his power will continue to increase, especially in the ancient magic era, the god of war chooses to surrender to the master of eternal light, so that when he is weak, he is protected by the master of eternal light, and when he is strong, he becomes the sharpest and most terrible weapon in the hands of the master of eternal light.
Shar, the goddess of the night, is in charge of the power of darkness as opposed to the light, night, recuperation, shelter, these are all concepts she has, and, recently, the goddess of the night seems to be trying to involve the realm of death, although this effort is subtle and slow, but it is still perceived and understood by some people.
However, after the formation of the Church of the Seven Gods, this is actually the proper meaning, the Church of the Seven Gods will inevitably begin to involve all aspects of human life, and some priesthoods will be given to God even if the main God is not suitable. The seven gods of the Church of the Seven Gods are all the main gods who have their own gods, and these main gods can collect and recruit slaves from the gods, and use this to continuously strengthen themselves.
But this kind of thing will not easily happen in a short period of time, because the era of low demons has just passed, and all the gods who are gradually awakening are basically in a state of extreme lack of their own divine power, and their own needs are not enough, and it is undoubtedly impossible to confer a subordination to the gods in such a state.
Dominated by the Lord of Eternal Light, the alliance of the seven gods, which is undoubtedly the big deal of this era, supports each other to speed up the awakening, and then suppresses the gods left over from the previous era, which is taking advantage of his illness to kill him, and the god in the first awake state is extremely weak, and it can be said that it is in the most easy to kill historical period, which is also the meaning of the establishment of the heresy of the Church of the Seven Gods.
However, due to the problem of the concept of priesthood, the subordinate forces recruited by the Dark Goddess and the Dark Holy See are basically neutral evil camps:
Among them, extraordinary mercenaries and witchers are all relatively good, and there are also werewolves, ghost women, necromancers, dark knights, and red dragon families. In other cases, these people would have fought first if they just got together.
……………
A noisy and chaotic underground tavern, it seems that some mysterious fantasy story will always be born in such a place.
But it's normal to think about it, underground taverns are always better than places like coffee houses and history museums, suitable for the gathering of transcendents in the dark world.
This underground tavern is built next to the small town of Quishank, the underground of the forest, is developed with great strength, reinforced with magic ability, although because of the large number of people, so crowded, it does not seem to be very large, but the bar counter, casino, Liuying Hall, these facilities are readily available, basically can meet the needs of everyone.
At the door of the underground tavern, a spell was set, and all ordinary people who did not possess magic approached would subconsciously want to leave, and there was a big man at the door who was disguised by a spell, it was a minotaur warrior, at this moment, under the effect of the spell, in the eyes of ordinary people, it was a fierce person who seemed to be a cowboy in the modern West.
"If you go in, you will have to pay four hundred marks, and Daniel Tribute Magic Coins, the Holy See's Atonement Scroll, and the Federation Contribution Scroll will also be collected."
"Thank you for coming, and I hope you have a great time."
Shi Yi threw out two crystal-like coins and walked in, he prefers to use Daniel Tribute Magic Coins as a general equivalent, because compared to the Holy See, the Federation, or the Mage Association is more neutral, even if you are their enemy, they will not directly freeze or abolish the monetary value in your hand, and in this regard, the Mage Association has done a better job than the Holy See and the Federation.
Walking the rivers and lakes for so many years, killing people is not counted, and the storage equipment of the legendary powerhouse has also robbed a few pieces, so Shi Yi's worth is very rich, but Shi Yi doesn't pay much attention to this, and the money is enough for himself.
"Hey, have you heard, there has been a legendary sword master challenging everywhere recently, some time ago, he picked Jamako Smit and Alaudddin Cadiz, it's really fierce, Alauddin is a legendary Minotaur warrior, and he is not an opponent!?"
"Legendary Sword Saint, how many Sword Masters are there in this world? It should be that Lord of the Teton Mountains has arrived, no matter how strong the Minotaur is, can he wrestle with the Red Dragon? Does it qualify? In the corner of the tavern, there are two mercenaries who are speaking in a low voice, one of them is a human, and the other is actually a cat man, in the Church of the Seven Gods, only the camp of the dark goddess Shar is so open and inclusive, and the other gods can't do it like the goddess of darkness even if they don't exclude it, and the eternal light lord among them is a pure human belief god, which may not be the original intention of the light master, but the light church has hunted non-human creatures and dark creatures for thousands of years, and this blood feud has long been unresolved.
In addition, there are pros and cons to this kind of thing, although it is true that there will be a large number of enemies, but it can improve the unity within the order, and under the condition of external enemies, it is easiest to unite within the organization, which is also a common sense law. Therefore, the Lord of Eternal Light finally gritted his teeth and confessed.
However, it is a classic case of the lower-level order, which changes the intentions and decisions of the upper level.
(Luo Tianhong has already started to do it, there are seven known legendary masters, the masters of the dark world are unruly, it is not so easy to ambush, and I will never give up the seat of the dark archon.) )
The Shi family of Dongling Mountain sent two legendary powerhouses, if they couldn't take the position of the dark archon, it would be simply ridiculous and generous, and this would also have a huge impact on Shi Yi's personal reputation.
In the underground tavern where people flowed through, Shi Yi first went to the bar and ordered a piece of food, thick fried pork steak and meat offal soup, although the price should not be low (I don't know the price very well), but the taste is quite good, and the energy supplement is not low.
Shi Yi chewed and felt the meat and oil, and looked around, not far from him, there was a ghost woman who was selling medicinal powder, she should have some good things on her body, and if she stayed in this place for a long time, she would have some targeted information.
To the left of the tavern is another space covered by a gauze curtain, which may be the Oriole Pavilion or the VIP room.
In the flow of people, there are always a few tall and strong men with unusually strong muscles who are vigilantly observing the surroundings, Shi Yi can see through the camouflage spells on their bodies, these people are all bull-headed strong men with sharp horns on their heads, then, it seems that this should be a temporary stronghold established and operated by the Cadiz family.
The Cadiz family is the subordinate family of the legendary bull-headed warrior who was defeated by Luo Tianhong, in fact, most of the seven legendary powerhouses of the dark world gathered this time, most of them are about 100 years old, and they do not meet the requirements for becoming the Seven Consuls of the Earthly World, but if they cannot be suppressed, even if they become consuls, they will have no real name.
While eating, Shi Yi thought that tonight was the agreed assembly time, and only by suppressing the powerhouses of these dark worlds could he become the dark archon.
