Pacific Ocean - Kesslot:

The magnificent and huge palace sits on the slope of a hundred meters high on this artificial island, which is the Temple of the Future, the sacred place of the Church of the Future God. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

A headquarters was essential when the Cult's organization grew strong enough, and in order to avoid some factional disputes, the temple was eventually built on this artificial island.

For the vast majority of the time, the temple was kept afloat by only its caretakers, but today, the tarmac outside the temple is filled with flying machines from all over the world

And in an incomparably splendid and magnificent hall in the temple, the high-ranking members of the Future Cult were sitting around at this time, discussing the important affairs of the Church.

This conference hall, if only in terms of solemnity or atmosphere, is not much more than the United Nations Headquarters, and most of the early members of the future god cult who built this temple were famous mythologists, fantasy novelists, or tycoons with strange imaginations, so the style of this temple is also very fantastical.

Huge idols of deities stand on the walls surrounding the main hall and overlook the people who are meeting below, their images are all modeled after the early members, and the bizarre creatures surround these imaginary gods, creatures that exist only in fantasy.

The twelve elders of the Moha Sect had all arrived at this time, and they were sitting at the conference table in the middle of the main hall, and if anyone in the know knew the identities of all the people present, I am afraid that they would be shocked, and among the twelve people present, almost all of them were famous figures, either the heirs of such and such a large consortium, or the managers of such and such a famous scientific organization, and even the big figures in the political circles - although most of the early members were scholars, but with the development of time, The identities of the high-ranking members of the Church of God in the future have also changed greatly.

Politicians and businessmen with the resources and influence to actually carry out their plans have replaced the creators of the past who only knew the fantasies and bombastic rhetoric.

However, they still retain some of the traditional rituals left over from their early members, perhaps simply because these rituals and rules satisfy their extremely deep secondary souls.

It's like the gorgeous black robes decorated with all kinds of strange runes that the twelve people are wearing now, and the high-backed chairs with intricate patterns that sit under their butts, making them look like the bosses behind the secret control of the world.

This feeling made their tone of voice much deeper.

"I still don't understand why we didn't use the Internet, and it took me three hours to fly here from Australia, and every time I came to the meeting, my wife would ask me if there was a woman outside."

A chubby elder grumbled with some dissatisfaction.

A bearded elder sitting next to him smiled slightly, "You already have women outside, and there is more than one." ”

"But I also think it's easier to connect online."

These words made many elders nod.

The thin elder sitting next to him explained slowly, "Internet contacts are easy to be tracked by people from the State Grid Bureau, I don't want my words to be recorded, after all, everyone present is an important person, although the Moha religion is still a legal religious organization, but if it is discovered that you have a special religious background, it is not a good thing." ”

This silenced most people, and it is true that, although the people believed in the teachings of Moha, at least on the surface, no one was a fool, and this mystical religion in general had no good reputation, let alone its goals.

Until now, it is unknown that the Ha religion has been very low-key, but if their identities are known, if they dig deeper, I am afraid there will be a lot of trouble.

"Alright, everyone is here, so let's get started." The skinny elder glanced at the last empty seat and announced.

"As the 152nd Speaker of the Moha Sect, I will preside over this meeting, and the first thing to say is that our plan seems to be going well so far.

Players have begun to enter the labyrinth of thoughts, proclaiming the names and wills of the gods, and although they don't believe in these slogans in their hearts, as long as they keep repeating them, sooner or later they will fall into it. ”

A lie repeated a thousand times can become the truth, and this is exactly how the people of the Moha religion want to take advantage of it.

"Next, I would like to ask Elder Lin to introduce the situation of the Wanderer Project."

An old man with an eastern face stood up.

"The miracle project is going very well, the code has been implanted into the game accounts of many players, and over time, more and more players have absorbed the special code we have released.

Now we can say that they have been pulled into our miracle project, and in fact we have experimented with it on several important characters without raising any suspicion. ”

The Speaker nodded with satisfaction, "Now that the miracle plan has entered the orbit, then the next step is the most critical step, the battle of the gods, we must pick out a suitable image of the future god to absorb the power of faith." ”

Hearing his words, everyone immediately began to discuss.

The speaker was not in a hurry, and waited until the voices of the crowd subsided, and then he said slowly: "The plan of the battle of the gods, I think everyone has already understood before, this is a plan initiated by our god-making faction, if it succeeds, we can create our future god, but in order to avoid the situation of misunderstanding, I will repeat it here." ”

"We believe that the power of faith exists, and that as long as there is a suitable vehicle to absorb the power of faith, and there is enough power of faith, a true god can be created.

And this carrier must be fully verified and most in line with people's hopes.

In Clash of the Gods, everyone in the room can choose the identity of a god, create their own image, develop their own followers, preach their own teachings, and attract as many players as possible.

Then, we will have a melee with each other in a year's time, and the gods with more believers can naturally defeat those gods with fewer believers, and the defeated gods will automatically become the believers of the victors, so that the final winner will be decided, which is the image of the god who can make people the most satisfied, and it is the prototype of the future god.

At the same time, it can also let us understand what the greatest hope of the player or the world is for God, and what the image of God they yearn for in their minds will be like, which will be a great honor for the person who plays this god, and it is even possible to become the incarnation of the god of the future.

So, please write down the identity of the god you want to play, in this list in front of you, you have already listed the abilities and fields of the gods that have appeared in the current battle of the gods, of course, you can also create and set your favorite god name and image, of course, you don't need to make it immediately, just send me your settings within a week. ”

Several priestesses dressed in priestly robes began to hand out setting sheets, and soon everyone had a set sheet in their hands.

"Very well, then in the next year, the competition will officially begin."

A bearded elder suddenly raised his hand.

The Speaker nodded, "Ah, Elder Spencer, what's the problem?" ”

"On behalf of the European Division, I have one thing to question, is the power of faith really there?"

"I think we Europeans have the most say in this, after all, Europeans are the most devout religious believers."

"It is precisely because of our religious history that I ask this question, in the past, we believed in God sincerely, but God never showed his divine power, so what is the meaning of the so-called power of faith?"

The Speaker shook his head, "No, first of all, I would say that your faith is not religious enough, and second, your belief in God is not scientific enough. ”

These words made Elder Spencer speechless for a while, how could this belief still be related to science. ，

"I'm still a member of the church, and my understanding of the doctrine is not very clear, so I hope the speaker can explain it."

The Speaker nodded, thought for a moment, and began to speak.

"According to our theistic theories, what we believe in God will be like, and if people believe that God is tyrannical, then their God will show all kinds of cruel and unkind behavior.

If people believe that God is merciful, then God will treat believers benevolently.

But the premise is that all believers must believe in the same goal,

In layman's terms, if people all over the world believe that God will throw a pie to someone from heaven, then God will throw a pie to that person.

But if believers believe in something different, or even conflicting with each other, then the power of faith is negated.

In Christian teachings, it is not said that God will answer prayers at any time, and that God will help you when you are in danger? That's not something God would do.

The central idea of Christianity is the Day of Judgment, the day when the world is coming to an end and the fate of mankind will be decided. The dead will be raised from the grave, and all will be called to the judgment seat of God, the outcome of which will be determined by God.

This is something that all Christians believe, and praying to God to help you when you are in danger is something you believe in alone, and it will not be answered.

Heaven and hell in Christianity, for example, are also unprovable.

And this is the irrationality of your religion, the goal of Judgment Day can only be fulfilled at the end of the world, and there is no way to prove it until then.

Heaven and hell can only be gone by the dead, and it is equally impossible to prove whether they are true or false.

They don't set a goal for a belief that can be proven in the short term.

In fact, this also shows that the founders of those religions did not really believe in God, so they set the time on the day of the end of the world, because in this way, as long as the end of the world has not come, they will not be responsible for their own words.

And if the end of the world does come -- hehe, even if the doctrine they set out is not fulfilled at that time, no one can blame them.

Therefore, when we create our gods, we must learn a lesson, first of all, we let the world decide for themselves what they want the image of God to look like, so that people will choose the most reasonable god.

Its abilities are also the ones people want most, such as wealth, or luck, or supernatural abilities.

At the same time, we need to strengthen the believers' faith in God, because there are so few miracles because the believers do not have a strong faith in God. And the less the power of faith, the fewer miracles there are, or even none at all, and this is a vicious circle.

But if we first show miracles to believers and strengthen their faith, then believers will definitely contribute a lot of faith power, so that our god can really become a god and show real miracles.

In a sense, this is an advance of faith.

And our miracle plan is prepared for this, and when the miracle plan is carried out, we can verify whether there is the power of faith. ”

"I see," Elder Spencer nodded thoughtfully, and sat down.

There was a clapping sound. An elder who looked to be in his thirties, with a pair of eyes, stood up from his seat.

Many people immediately recognized it as Joshua Lee, the seventh richest man in the world. Owning a high-tech company, he is also the core figure of Adventism.

"Brilliant theory. But what if, in the end, God doesn't show up as you say, and doesn't show real miracles? Or there is no future god to do at all. ”

"You're blasphemy!" An elder patted the table.

"Hey, hey, hey, calm down, after all, from the very beginning, our church's attitude towards the gods has been from a scientific and practical point of view, and there is no concept of blasphemy, if you look at traditional religious thought, what we are doing is the greatest blasphemy." Another elder said.

The skinny Speaker pondered for a moment, "If my theory cannot be realized, then I will resign from my position as Speaker and be replaced by someone from the Adventists, and carry out your Adventist plans in the next operation."

But you Adventists must not deliberately cause trouble in the miracle plan, or I will refuse to fulfill my promise. ”

Joshua Lee nodded, "This is natural, after all, finding the future god is our ultimate goal, and if this goal can be achieved, factional battles are all trivial." ”

The conversation between the two of them can be regarded as a preliminary agreement between the Adventist and the God-Maker.

However, just as the Speaker was about to announce the end of the meeting, there was a bang, and the door of the hall was suddenly opened.

An old man with a scruffy beard and gray hair walked in through the door, he looked a little embarrassed, but he still couldn't hide the fanaticism and enthusiasm in his heart, and he was dressed in a black elder's robe.

"Good evening everyone, long time no see, did you miss me?"

"Shen Yuan, how did you get out? I didn't expect to see you again. ”

"Haha, it's Shen Yuan, your plan seems to have failed, why, you ran back again?"

"Who is this guy?"

The reactions of the elders were different, and even one of them didn't know Shen Yuan anymore.

Shen Yuan didn't mind at all.

"Hahaha, it's been a long time since I've seen my old friends, and I miss you too." Shen Yuan completely ignored everyone's cynicism, just exchanged glances with the two elders he knew, and sat down directly in the empty seat.

"Hmph, you gave up your position as an elder when you left." An elder said.

"Hey, I never said I'm leaving the church, I'm just going to do an experiment and try to achieve the great goals of our church."

"Your efforts have failed."

"On the contrary, my plan is going very well, at least halfway through." What Shen Yuan said was reasonable, but this made everyone silent for a while.

The speaker glanced at Shen Yuan lightly, "What do you want?" ”

"It's very simple, join this game, the opportunity to become a god should be equal, after all, I am still a member of the Council of Elders."

The black-robed old man glanced at the others, and people were quickly exchanging glances and passing thoughts.

"Yes, you can join the game, but given that you haven't fulfilled the meeting for a long time, your divine power can only be the lowest level of weak divine power."

"Hehehe, weak divine power is enough."

"Very well," the Sect Master said, glancing at the crowd, "Then the Battle of the Gods plan has officially begun. (To be continued.) )
