Chapter Forty-Seven: God the Father, Shiloh
If he really wants to put a god statue on it, it will give him a bit of a headache. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
A statue of a god is not simply a statue that can be called a statue. The so-called idol is, of course, blessed by the gods, recognized by the gods as an incarnation of himself, before it can be called a god idol and has the corresponding effect.
So, the question is: Dane is a temple that doesn't even know what god is enshrined, so where can I get a real god statue?
Dane, who had a headache, paced back and forth in the temple, and unconsciously walked to the edge of the stone platform, so, the next moment, a sudden change occurred!
The corners of Dane's eyes were suddenly covered by a brilliant light, and when he looked sideways, he saw different colors of light emerging on the empty stone platform. Black, white, red, black, it's almost impossible to count how many colors emerge in them. At the moment when those rays of light emerged, countless divine thoughts were also thrown into his mind.
"Follow My ......"
"Believe in My ......"
"I will grant you eternal ......"
"Authority, money, what do you want?"
"Reverence for me is the truth."
ā¦ā¦
Countless voices whispered in Dane's ear, some terrifying, some warm; Some are just, some are insidious. Hardly any of them have the same voice, and so do the ideas they tell, and almost none of them are the same.
Almost immediately, Dane realized that these voices were the messages of countless gods from their divine kingdom. They all wanted to erect their idols on the temple of Orinedu, and it was up to Dain to make a choice: what kind of faith should he choose for this newly built temple?
Shaking his head, Dane took two steps back, a little further away from the blank stone platform. The thoughts of those gods were too strong, and the beliefs of many gods were completely different, and at the same time poured into his ears and souls, and his head was about to explode. Even, he thought that if he listened to it for a longer time, maybe he would really be driven crazy by these completely different divine thoughts.
Gods are not something that mortals can resist.
A little farther away from the god platform, after the chaotic thoughts were far away from him, he could calm down and think about it and make a choice.
He himself was an unbeliever, and he had no sense of worship for gods or anything. Therefore, he had not considered the question of what kind of deity he wanted to worship before, but now he had to think about it.
First of all, it is not okay to choose a random deity. He himself is an unbeliever, but that doesn't mean so do others. The world of Orodic is a world where there are real gods, and the influence of gods on the whole world is also very significant. On the mainland, in addition to the state, there are various forces. Among them, the power of the church is undoubtedly the most powerful. In many countries, theocracy is even more powerful than royal power.
For ordinary people, faith is also very important. As far as Dane knew, his subordinate, the Wandering Knight Sacco, was a devout follower of the Lord of Light. Before fighting, before eating, before sleeping...... Almost anything, whenever you have time, you must close your eyes and pray. Another example is the Ranger Delin, he is a believer in the Children of the Wind, although he can't be said to be very religious, but he can be regarded as a true believer. Others, to a greater or lesser extent, have their own beliefs, not necessarily profound, but at least they are pan-believers. An untrustworthy person like Dane would not have more than ten in the entire Terror Mercenary Regiment.
This is still a mercenary, and among the fixed class of peasants and citizens, the proportion of people who are influenced by the gods and have their own beliefs is even larger.
Under such circumstances, it is impossible for Dane to casually promote a faith in his territory. Quite simply, if he had chosen 'God of Tyranny, Bane' as O'Rite's faith, Sacco would have been the first to turn against him.
Of course, this is a very extreme example. It was certainly impossible for Dane to choose the gods of the evil camp as the faith of Orinedu. He is an elven territory with red roots and a tree of life, and it must be unreliable to believe in evil gods. What's more, although the dreaded mercenaries are not good people, and some of them believe in gods such as cunning goddesses and conspiracy walkers, these gods are still neutral after all, and there are really no evil gods such as the Blood Lady, the God of Tyranny, and the God of Murder. Therefore, within the scope of his choice, the neutral god is the best, the good god should be okay, and the evil god must not be good.
After eliminating the evil gods, there are still many neutral gods and good gods left, and the range of choices is still very large, and Dane has to continue to think about it.
His current territory is elven territory, and he has to think about that. Obviously, although the elven population of the elves under his command is not large, in the near future, due to the existence of the Divine Guide Tree Tower, the elven population of Orinedu will continue to increase, and he must take into account the needs of the elves when choosing his faith.
After much consideration, Dane finally made a choice: Shiloh.
Shiloh is an elven god, and among the elves of the world of Orodic, this deity has an extremely high status, which can be seen from his name: the father of the elves, the teacher of nature, and the patron saint of elements and life. In the legend of the Elves, Shiloh created and married Elune, the first elf of the multiverse. Over the long years, the two of them have established a huge elven kingdom. Later, the eldest daughter of the two, the former goddess of hunting, Simani, fell out with other gods of the elven god system, and the ancient elven god war broke out, and Simani, who did not have the support of Shiloh and Elune, was defeated and had to take her followers to the underworld, which was later the dark elves. But despite this, even among the dark elves, there are now quite a few people who believe in Shiloh. This is also the only faith in the drow elf god system that can be accepted by the dark elf world.
The decision to have Shiloh as the main god was made by Dane after careful consideration. First of all, there must be no problem when it comes to elves. Shiloh himself is the most noble status in the elf god system, and it is also the main god who is most widely believed in by the elves, and the other elf gods are either not the heirs of Shiloh, or if they are not made of Shiloh's believers, only a few can be equal in status, and there is no one who is equal in status.
Secondly, the name of the Nature Mentor basically does not have too many enemies except for a few gods such as the Incinerator and the God of Ashes. And the priesthood of the 'Guardian of Elements and Life' is unique to this main plane, with only allies and no enemies.
Such a god who can be widely accepted, does not have too many opposites, and at the same time has strong divine power and ranks as the main god, at the moment, it must be the best choice for Dane.
As a neutral and kind god, Shiloh hated not much. However, the more troublesome thing is that he hates the undead, which may bring some trouble when building the undead base in the future. But then again, let alone the good gods, most neutral gods hate the necromancy. Even some evil gods don't like these things very much, and it is impossible for Dane to find a god who can be compatible with the seven clans of "Heart of Dynasty". In contrast, Shiloh is almost the most lovable.
Among the Seven Clans, the Abyss and the Necropolis, except for these two that conflict with Shiloh, humans, orcs, dark elves, dwarves, and mage academies will not conflict with Shiloh's beliefs, let alone the elves themselves.
In this way, choosing Shiloh as the main god should be the most reliable choice. As for the abyssal demons and the graveyard undead who create conflicts...... Then Dane can't help it. Anyway, the gods who can be compatible with these two races are almost not compatible with other races, and when this thing can't be both, it is natural to choose the most suitable one at the moment. As for what to do if Dane wants to engage in these two territories in the future, then we will talk about it later, and the ship will naturally go straight to the bridgehead.
After thinking clearly, Dane took a few steps forward, and the crowd of thoughts struck again. Under the pressure that almost drove people crazy, he approached the stone platform step by step, and tried to find the voice of Shiloh in the thoughts that poured into his head.
It wasn't a difficult task, and in the back of his mind, there were at least dozens of gods whispering. But what you must know is that Shiroko is a main god with a powerful divine power level, and his voice must be the loudest among all the gods that resounded in his head. There are no more than ten fingers that can be compared with him.
When Dane decided to listen intently to Shiloh's voice, all the other gods' whispers faded away, and only Shiloh was left.
"Your choice is right, man, come, put your hand on the altar of God, and I will bless you and erect the idol of God."
Dane did as he was told, placing his hand gently on the blank stone platform. In an instant, the green light in front of him was so great that Dane could hardly open his eyes.
When the light dissipated, he looked forward and saw a stone statue of a middle-aged elf wearing a gorgeous robe and a handsome and dashing face standing in the stone platform out of thin air. And that's not all, when the statue appeared, the entire temple hall where Dane was was covered by a soft light, and under the gathering of those lights, benches and reliefs appeared one by one, and in an instant, the temple that was originally empty was immediately full of life.
