Chapter 1028: A Study of the Kingdom of God
"Father Twilight!" When Xiang Ningxuan received the report from the Southwest Expeditionary Force, he couldn't help but feel a little bigger. According to the setting, this Twilight priest is none other than Benedictas, the Archbishop of Stormwind City in Azeroth.
Archbishops who believe in the Holy Light can be corrupted, and you can imagine how terrible the Twilight cult's corrosive ability is.
And Benedictas himself is average, only a five-person boss, but he is more active in the Twilight Sect than Gugar, and his destructive power is also stronger. His addition brought about a perfect organizational structure of the Holy Light Sect, allowing the Twilight Sect to evolve from the sheep-herding management of Gugal to a super cult organization with a strict hierarchy and a complete system.
Father Twilight not only operated in the Tianzhu War Zone, but also appeared in the Dragonbone Wilderness, plotting various conspiracies against the Wawang, the Temple of Dragon's Sleep, and the Blue Dragon Legion.
Intelligence shows that Father Twilight first appeared on the territory of the Republic, but the Republic is very vigilant about the foolishness of the gods, and most of the common people have no religious foundation, and after recruiting a few small cults, they were hit by the Divine Might.
However, Xiang Ningxuan didn't have time to trouble Father Twilight now, because the Monster Thief Legion had already appeared.
A few days ago, the followers of Galakron were surrounded and annihilated by the Dragon Clan's army.
The offensive of the main force of the Dragon Xiang Army was not at all something that those ragtag believers who were not even an army could withstand, and even with the help of Galakron's will, they could not save the fate of defeat.
Some of those believers blew themselves up, some turned into flesh and blood constructs, and some released their souls to detonate, but many more were killed by ferocious long-range fire before they could get Galakron's divine power feedback.
After all, it was a disembodied deity, and it was impossible for Galakron to respond to the prayers of more than 10,000 believers at the same time. As long as the critical point is broken, it can be crushed with hard power. Such an opponent is also the level of the male and female snake gods that Xiang Ningxuan met three years ago.
A few of the monsters mixed in with these cultists could no longer hide their identities, and they were all found out and killed.
Now, Xiang Ningxuan sat in the position of Galakron's skull, locked it with the Immortal Sword, and then ordered the Long Xiang Army to build fortifications around.
If Rafam and his army of monster thieves do not appear again, the Dragon Warriors can directly destroy Galakron's bones, cut off the connection between his soul and the physical world, and disintegrate the kingdom of God that he has built for thousands of years.
Actually, it's still interesting to sit on the skull of Galakron and study this doomsday dragon.
This is a newborn deity, and the composition of his divine kingdom, the use of the power of faith, and the mode of control over believers are all very instructive for Xiang Ningxuan's path after the legend.
The key is that Galakron is obedient, lying there and unable to move, let Xiang Ningxuan study, what kind of god can be ridden on his head like this to check and study?
Of course, Galakron's divine consciousness was furious, but what was the use? A pile of bones from an unknown number of thousands of years ago, and they can't get up and bite. He could only curse this damned human in his mind, and occasionally his divine power manifested into a real curse, but he couldn't break through Xiang Ningxuan's body protection spiritual energy shield.
Let's talk about the Kingdom of God first, Xiang Ningxuan felt that the small universe containing all his followers was the Kingdom of God, which was not entirely true. The small universe should be the kingdom of God that has not yet unfolded, or the embryo of the kingdom of God, still relying on the main body of Xiang Ningxuan. If Xiang Ningxuan hangs up one day, his small universe will also disappear. The kingdom of God can exist separately from the subject, just like Galakron, although the main body is hanging, but the kingdom of God is still there.
Therefore, the small universe is limited by the strength of the subject, and there are limits on boundaries and energy. The kingdom of God, on the other hand, can theoretically be extended infinitely, and the energy cycle is self-contained. However, there is also a disadvantage to extending too much, that is, the kingdom of God is no longer completely controlled by the subject, but has its own set of operating rules. The ultimate form of the Kingdom of God is the Heavenly Court built by the joint efforts of many immortals, and it is completely a world above the main plane.
Of course, Heavenly Court has no reference value for Xiang Ningxuan, he hasn't graduated from elementary school yet, why is he studying high mathematics? On the contrary, Galakron's kingdom is more valuable for reference.
Unfortunately, even Galakron may not be able to tell how he became a god, and his kingdom was formed tens of thousands of years after it was hung up. If you really want to make an analogy, it is probably similar to Guan Erye, who was posthumously named the embodiment of loyalty and righteousness by later generations, and became a god by incense.
One of the most commendable things about Galakron is that he responds to believers in a very timely manner and is almost always responsive. Much better spoken than other gods. As long as it is within the scope of the rules, even if Xiang Ningxuan comes to pray, he can get a response, of course, the harvest is only seventy percent of what he pays.
This is the simplest and most direct mode of using the power of faith, which is just for a rookie like Xiang Ningxuan to learn.
The Galakronite is still the most primitive totemic religion, with a rudimentary missionary model, a chaotic organizational structure, and a management structure like a primitive tribe, which is far from the Cursed Sect and Twilight's Hammer in the villain alliance.
But such a low-level sect managed to resonate with the kingdom of Galakron.
Xiang Ningxuan compared his situation with Galakron's and found that he had more advantages.
First of all, he is a physical being, with more room for improvement, and can give full play to his subjective initiative, while Galakron is a corpse that has been hanging for an unknown number of thousands of years; Secondly, his connection with his retinue is obviously closer than that of Galakron's followers, and among them, there are many high-ranking retinues with different characteristics and independent consciousness, such as the Kui Wood Wolf, the Fire Monkey, and Emerys; Third, he is also the commander of the Divine Power Army, and he has contacts with all the gods of the Republic, worships Yuding Zhenren as his teacher, and at the same time cultivates the exercises optimized by the Tongtian Sect Master, and his starting point is much higher than that of Galakron.
The disadvantage is that his own strength level is much weaker than that of Galakron before his death, and there is no long-term time accumulation.
If you want to talk about believers, in fact, there are a lot of Xiang Ningxuan.
In addition to a large number of Hearthstone system followers, Xiang Ningxuan also has a Night Elf base, which has broken through the population limit at this time, and currently has more than five hundred mixed elf troops and thousands of elves.
The Troll Dragon tribe worshipped him directly as a god. With the Dragon Army's conquest of the north and the south, all the trolls recruited were stuffed into the Tenglong tribe to transform, and the total population was already seventy or eighty thousand, much more than the followers of Galakron. There were hundreds of troll warriors who were willing to sacrifice their lives, and were turned into followers by Xiang Ningxuanka to form a personal guard battalion.
Wormman Amethyst has also incorporated tens of thousands of Worm troops in the Canglan World.
The retinue Wu Anjun controlled an army of 10,000 Qin warriors.
After the Battle of Uldem, the vixen Su Jingling captured some of Magda's men.
Originally, the Heavenly Demon King's two subordinates, the Desire Demon and the Fear Demon, controlled thousands of subordinates in the Neon and Great Desert regions respectively.
It's not that I don't know, but I'm shocked.
The total number of these subordinates is more than 100,000. It's just that these guys belong to different places and have different natures, and Xiang Ningxuan never thought of integrating them.
"Hey! I was stupid to have such an abundance of resources but didn't make good use of them. If I can integrate these subordinates into a consistent faith, even if I can't become a god, I can still hold up the shelf of the kingdom of God! Xiang Ningxuan slapped his thigh and said secretly.
But then, he struggled again: trolls, night elves, bugmen, and miscellaneous subordinates, how could these guys integrate into a coherent faith?
"It seems that I have to go to the training class of the Central Political Commissar to learn and improve!"
