After lunch, Isaac said goodbye to the enthusiastic Jeremiah and the others and returned to his residence.

Thinking back to the scene at the dinner table where Jeremiah and the others were close to his own toast, he thought that if he was a woman, these bad old men must have swallowed him alive.

It's so enthusiastic that Isaac can't resist it!

However, thinking that he was the only five Heavenly Dao Monument holders in the entire United States, Isaac felt a trace of heroism in his heart.

Humming a minor tune, he returned to his residence and pushed open the door, which was filled with well-equipped officers' quarters. TVs, air conditioners, washing machines, microwave ovens, etc., are all available, and the Huaxia military cares for these inheritors meticulously, not only arranging independent suites for each person, but also responding to various needs in various living needs.

There's no CNN, no Wall Street financial news, no damn political correctness, no annoying office culture, and Isaac has fallen in love with it, even though it's only been a short time.

After walking into the bathroom and taking a cool shower, Isaac changed into clean clothes and sat down on the sofa. After thinking about it, he took out the small Heavenly Dao Tablet and played with it in his hand, he knew that if it weren't for this little thing, everything he was enjoying now had nothing to do with him, maybe he was still the poor worm who lost his job and was betrayed by his wife.

It was it that changed its own destiny.

"It's just that this thing seems to have a very deep relationship with the Chinese people, and the words on it and the inheritance objects found by following its guidance are all written in Chinese......"

After all, he is not a member of the Chinese civilization circle, and Isaac, like most of the inheritors of Western society, is confused by these things with strong oriental cultural colors, and cannot truly understand the meaning.

"It would be nice to be more straightforward, preferably with the magic or alchemy described in the novel, so that Wayne and I can easily grasp it!"

Wayne is Isaac's new friend and one of the five heirs of America.

Wayne, who was born as a miner, is an ordinary middle-class citizen of the United States, like Isaac, and they don't have much opportunity to experience the influence of oriental culture, so even if they get a martial arts school, they don't know where to start, and the effect is naturally greatly reduced.

If it could be more simple and the "legacy" of inheritance is magic or alchemy, which is generally accepted in Western society, then they must be able to master it very easily.

Isaac thought so and shook his head slightly, knowing that he was a little too whimsical.

However, at this moment, he suddenly found that the Heavenly Dao Tablet in his hand actually lit up.

"What's going on!" Isaac looked slightly stunned, and the next moment, he suddenly felt a trance in his spirit, as if his spirit was attracted by something, and his soul desire was separated from his body. After a brief period of dizziness, the brain quickly returned to normal.

And in his brain, there is an extra set of things.

"Golden ...... Metal sacrifices? Isaac's eyes widened in disbelief.

Suddenly, I felt that God had not abandoned Western society.

……

"What you said is true, can you really sacrifice metal in exchange for the power bestowed by the gods?"

Jeremiah, who rushed to hear the news, led a group of scientists to firmly surround Isaac, and it was not until Li Ruiyuan and Analin came to the base that Isaac had time to break free from the questioning of these scientists.

"Little brother Isaac, tell us more about this "metal sacrifice......"

Annellin had a friendly smile on his face, as if Isaac were his own brother. Of course, the eagerness in his eyes could not hide from anyone present.

Isaac looked at President Anelin, who was clutching his hand with a posture of "Corporal Lixian", nodded and said, "That's right, Mr. President, according to the description given by the Heavenly Dao Monument, this metal sacrifice system is a very special 'exchange system'. The sacrificer can communicate with the gods by offering 'metal', and after signing a master-slave contract with the gods, they can borrow the power of the gods and make these powers manifest in the human world......"

"Is there really a god? Ahem, I mean, the gods are really willing to give it their powers? ”

Annellin was so excited that he almost missed his mouth, but fortunately, he reacted quickly and stopped his mouth in time. Well, how could he question the existence of a god, he was a very devout "believer in God".

Isaac nodded and said, "Yes, the gods are willing to sign a pact with us. ”

Li Ruiyuan, who was on the side, asked at this time: "Has the god in your mouth ever revealed his identity?" What should we call Him? ”

Li Ruiyuan was very curious about the mysterious existence of the Heavenly Dao Monument, and he also wanted to find out his identity very much.

"There is an indication!" Isaac thought for a moment, and emphasized in his not-so-standard Mandarin, "If I'm not mistaken, Lord Kamimei claims to be the 'Shepherd Emperor Datenzun'. ”

"Shepherd Emperor Great Heavenly Venerable?" Li Ruiyuan muttered to himself.

Da Tianzun is an honorific title, that is to say, "Shepherd" is the name of the gods?

"Yes, it is this Shepherd God!" Isaac confirmed.

"The Emperor God ......"

Li Ruiyuan repeated, and suddenly thought of something, Li Ruiyuan's body trembled, and a huge wave suddenly set off in the depths of his mind.

"Shepherd God, Shepherd God, could it be that the pronunciation of this Isaac is not standard, and the real title should be called Jade Emperor God? Or is it wrong that the legend handed down in ancient times is wrong, and the Jade Emperor God in the mouths of Taoism and Confucianism should actually be the God of the Shepherd Emperor or the Great Heavenly Venerable of the Shepherd? ”

The Jade Emperor, also known as the Jade Emperor God, is known as the full name of "Haotian Jinque Supreme Supreme Nature Miao Mi Luo to the True Jade Emperor God" or "Taishang Kaitian Zhifu Imperial Calendar contains the true body Dao Haotian Jade Emperor God", referred to as the Jade Emperor or Haotian God.

It is the supreme god enshrined in Taoism and Confucianism.

In ancient times, it was the privilege of the Son of Heaven to worship the "Haotian God", and the Son of Heaven in the world usually regarded himself as the "Son of Heaven", and in the traditional Zhou ceremony, it was believed that the criterion for becoming the Son of Heaven was "virtue".

Virtuous people obey the heavens, are chosen by the heavens, become the son of heaven, and the virtuous are abandoned by the heavens, so the revolution goes to the mandate of heaven, that is, "to respond to the order" and "revolution. The origin of the word "life".

In the sense of religion, the Son of Heaven is the pope of the Eastern sect, and the imperial power and the divine right are one.

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, foreign missionaries came to China to preach, and when they saw the emperor, they had to kowtow and kneel, but now many people understand that the feudal emperor was arrogant and had to kneel to others. As everyone knows, in addition to the full. The enslavement consciousness of the Qing Dynasty was indeed deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the emperors of the previous dynasties of the Chinese Kingdom did not kneel because he was the ruler of the world, but because of his divine side.

For example, in ancient times, when the emperor went to court, he did not just sit on the steps one block higher and listen to the music of hundreds of officials, as everyone thinks, but sat several feet above the ground, like a shrine-like place. That atmosphere, condescending, is the god who is offered high. And when foreign missionaries come to China to meet the emperor, they kneel not to the worldly emperor, but to the pope, and in their eyes, the pope who kneels to the East is just as natural as the pope who kneel to them.

It's just that later, the power of the East gradually declined, and the Western powers knocked on the door of China, followed by all kinds of ideas that deny history and reject traditional culture. As the tide surged, the great powers secretly changed their concepts, and through propaganda and education, they demoted the Chinese state from a "kingdom of God" with a pope to an ordinary secular government, so that the role of "emperor" lost its divine aspect and was demoted to a simple secular ruler.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that in fact, the title of "God" is not imported, but a native of the Central Plains.

Nowadays, when people think of God, they think of Jehovah in Christianity, and in the past, the word God was used specifically to refer to "Haotian God" or "Jade Emperor God".

It means "Emperor of Heaven".

During the Ming Dynasty, the Catholic Jesuits came to China to preach, but due to differences in values and customs, the missionary mission in China was extremely difficult. After asking the government of the Ming Dynasty, the government allowed him to preach, but he had to sinicize Christianity, and at that time Matteo Ricci was very resistant, believing that "God" was a word in the Central Plains, and that there was a god "God" in ancient China, which was the highest god in the Eastern religion, and the "God" he preached was not a person, and had a completely different nature.

Eventually, however, he relented and chose "God" as the supreme deity of the religion. But as his mission deepened, Matteo Ricci began to feel that the word "God" was inappropriate, so he used the word "God" instead. At the same time, in order to prevent the Chinese people from thinking that Catholicism worships the goddess, he replaced the statue of Our Lady with a statue of Jesus. Since then, the Catholic Church has completely banned the use of the words "God" and "Heaven", and has uniformly used "God".

AND "PROTESTANTISM", ANOTHER BRANCH OF CHRISTIANITY, DOES NOT TRANSLATE THE TITLE OF THE SUPREME GOD "GOD" AS "GOD" OR "GOD", BUT AS "GOD". Although there was a dispute within the country, some people thought that the title should be "God", while others insisted that it should be translated as "God", and the final vote was put on hold by 2-2.

As a result, the translation of "God" has become a point of contention between the two schools.

Of course, Li Ruiyuan didn't think about it so much, what he doubted now was whether the Great Heavenly Venerable of the Shepherd Emperor in Isaac's mouth was the "Jade Emperor" he thought he was.

If it was, he was so excited that he got goosebumps.
