Slums and places like slaves, serfs, prostitutes...... It can be said that people at the bottom of society are the most likely to be transformed into believers in other gods because of some small favors.

What makes it even more a headache for the rulers of various countries is that they have no way to contain it, or even effectively prevent it.

If they are deliberately hidden, the followers of the alien gods have no characteristics that outsiders can find, and the only ones that can be used as a basis are that they suddenly possess knowledge or power that they should not have in a short period of time, or that their strength has increased greatly in a short period of time, and that they have paid too much price due to their lack of greed in the contract with the alien gods, and that their spirits are abnormally weakened.

However, as long as the person concerned does not actively expose these characteristics, how can outsiders detect them? Moreover, these characteristics are not necessarily unique to cultists of other gods, but also to believers or contractors such as notorious 'evil gods and demons', and even if someone follows these clues, the person caught will probably have nothing to do with the "alien god".

Even if a coercive measure is taken to conduct a physical examination of all the people under his command like a census, not to mention the difficulty of implementation, the method itself may not be effective.

And if it really angers these alien believers, they are not based in the Western Continent and can simply withdraw like the Holy Light Church, when the time comes, if they encounter the other party's retaliation every day like the previous Holy Light Church, come to a 'harassment every three days, blasting every five days, assassination is non-stop every day, you have to be careful when you go out, you have to be careful if there are mines buried under your feet, and you have to be careful if you will encounter human bombs'...... Those emperors, kings, city lords, and high-ranking officials and nobles from all walks of life, as long as they thought that the kind of experience that might happen to the priests of the Holy Light Church in the past might fall on their own heads, they couldn't help but feel their scalps tingle.

If it comes head-on, everyone is naturally not afraid, but people like to play yin with you, it can be called a pervasive attack, and anyone will feel uncomfortable.

- Hell knows where those Alien Cultists got their hands on so many dangerous weapons, and how they managed to bring them into a city full of patrolling sentries and heavily guarded cities!

Thanks to the various spiritual guidance weapons that are often used by the cultists of the alien gods when they launch attacks and retaliation, for a period of time, several powerful countries in the Western Continent led by the empire and the kingdom that have the technology of large-scale manufacturing of spiritual guide weapons have suffered a lot of suspicion and impeachment, and if there is no evidence, the world even wants to directly blame the black cauldron caused by the cultists of the alien gods on the heads of these big countries.

Well, in the eyes of the Holy Light Church, no matter what the truth is, for some reason, the church leadership has already strongly suspected that this black cauldron should actually be borne by the empire, if it weren't for the oracle of "Holy Son Selection" suddenly passed down from above, I'm afraid it will only take a while, the contradiction will continue to escalate, and the church will launch a declaration of war against the empire.

It is difficult to prevent, difficult to eradicate, and the potential danger is extremely great, but the other side is keeping to itself, and there is no real threat to its own rule for the time being...... For all these reasons, the rulers of the Western Continent did not adopt the same extremely hostile attitude towards the cultists of the other gods as they did towards the Church of Light.

In view of the fact that at present, as long as they do not take the initiative to harm these alien god believers, the other party will not take the initiative to make trouble, and the forces of all parties have invariably chosen to remain vigilant and temporarily observe and monitor them from the beginning.

However, after everyone watched for a while, it seemed that they could not do so, and the emperor of the Duragon Empire, who was known for his iron fist and foresight, took the lead in taking action, issuing an edict to take the initiative to negotiate and even try to solicit the followers of the alien gods.

As a result, countries have followed suit.

After a period of temptation, the nations came to a deeper understanding of these pagan believers.

First of all, it may be a bit inaccurate to say that they are 'believers', because the "alien gods" basically do not take the initiative to control their actions, and they do not give any action orders on weekdays, and the believers make a contract with the "alien gods" to pay various costs to get the feedback they want from the "alien gods", and the relationship between the two parties seems to be more like that of a trader in nature.

Believers can use whatever they want from the "alien god", except for the part that is bound by the highly secret mysterious contract, it is the believer's freedom to act as he wants in other aspects, and the "alien god" basically does not care.

Business, politics, or even allegiance to others, or the formation of their own private forces, can be said to be basically unlimited in what they can do, whether they are good or evil.

In addition, there is another piece of information that makes the eyes of the top leaders of various countries shine: if a believer is persecuted by outsiders, it depends on the situation to determine whether the "alien god" and other believers under his command will take the initiative to intervene in the rescue and revenge actions of the victims.

The only ones who will be intervened are those who truly have a devout belief in the "other gods"!

The words of the false believers are at best 'traders' for the 'alien gods', and unless they voluntarily pay more to satisfy the 'alien gods', the 'alien gods' and true believers will only leave them to fend for themselves.

There is also a reason for this discrepancy, because according to in-depth investigation, the high-ranking people of various countries have found that the "contract" given by the mysterious "alien god" is divided into two categories.

One is a highly binding contract that is almost equivalent to a 'deed of sale', and those who sign this contract can be regarded as true 'followers of the alien gods' and can enjoy the protection of the alien gods, but they also cannot disobey the orders of the alien gods.

The other is a contract that can be regarded as a 'commercial transaction', that is, the pseudo-believer pays the price to the "alien god" in exchange for what he wants, and the pseudo-believer will not be protected by the "alien god", but also does not need to be controlled by the "alien god", except for the principle that certain information must be passively forced to be kept secret, they are basically free.

And the vast majority of those who have made a pact with the 'alien gods' and gained extraordinary power are actually just 'false believers'!

At the very least, most of those who have been identified by the top leaders of various countries are 'false believers'.

This kind of information seems to be a secret for the "alien gods", and many cultists of the alien gods who have been found by various countries have happily confessed this kind of information.

This kind of information has been tested by means such as 'Lie Detection Technique' and 'Confession Elixir', and some of the more ruthless forces have also used secret techniques such as 'soul searching', and the same answer has been obtained from the few fragments left in the soul memories of those pseudo-believers, so it can be said that the credibility is quite high.

And the fact that the actions of the false believers are not actually controlled by the 'alien gods' gives the rulers of various countries a reason to recruit these people.

After all, the cultivation of transcendents in any world requires a lot of resources, and it is not easy to cultivate, although these pseudo-believers who have obtained extraordinary power from the hands of the 'alien gods' have taken a shortcut, they are also good combat power, especially for the high-level leaders of various countries who are now tense and have already smelled some wind and rain.

In particular, the world has found that it seems that thanks to the clever methods of the 'alien gods', the power obtained by these 'alien god believers' by taking shortcuts is almost no different from the power obtained by normal cultivators, and it is not weaker than that of orthodox cultivators!

This discovery has aroused great attention from the top leaders of various countries.

You must know that a traditional transcendent, such as an elven envoy, normally it will take at least five years to cultivate to the point where it can be used to fill the combat power on the battlefield, which is still calculated at the level of 'cannon fodder', and if it is at the 'elite' level, it even takes more than ten years of training cycle! Moreover, it also requires a large amount of human, material and financial resources to be consumed simultaneously.

As long as you pay some price to trade with the 'Alien God', you will be able to instantly gain a powerful power that is not inferior to that obtained by others through the orthodox cultivation path!

Not only the elves make this kind of positive combatants, but also other apothecaries, spell array masters, healers, psychic technicians and other support personnel, ordinary people can quickly create through the trade with the "alien gods", and in the same way, they are not inferior to those of their peers who have achieved it through their own penance!

To be honest, if it weren't for the mystery of the identity of the 'Alien God', the high-level leaders of all the forces would be wary and jealous of it, and they would all want to let their soldiers all trade with the 'Alien God' to create high-level elite and transcendent professional legions in large quantities to improve their national strength.

It's just a small price, it's a big deal to reduce the average life expectancy of the soldiers under his command by ten or eight years, if it is just a little loss of life span, it can be exchanged for a substantial increase in one's own military strength, and in the eyes of the high-level of those big forces, this kind of transaction is completely worth it.

But unfortunately, as the leaders in power, these high-ranking people always instinctively have a sense of distrust of such an external force, so although there are many people who are tempted, there is no big force that really dares to ask their loyal soldiers to take the initiative to ask for a contract deal with the rumored "alien god" for the time being.

However, while their own precious and loyal soldiers can't take that risk, that doesn't stop them from recruiting those idle 'cultists of the other gods' to expand their own combat power, right?

The only thing to pay attention to is whether these 'cultists of the other gods' will turn against themselves, but in order to increase their own combat power in the future tensions, the high-ranking leaders of each country still dare to take this risk.

Well, mainly as the representative of the most powerful force in the Western Continent, the Duragon Empire, under the decision of that powerful emperor, was the first to make the decision to recruit these 'Alien God Believers', and soon put it into practical action, recruiting a large number of discovered 'Alien God Believers' into the army and various departments in the form of employment, making a leading role in the lead.

As a result, the rest of the Western Continent followed suit, especially the Kingdom of Rhine, which followed suit almost the next moment the Empire made its move.

After all, if we don't act together now, the already existing gap in the national strength of all parties will be further widened. Even, if because of this disparity in treatment, the 'Alien God Believers' from all over the Western Continent feel that the Empire is the only good place for them, and all of them completely surrender to the Empire, it will be very disadvantageous to the rest of the countries.

Even if the countries of the Western Continent would be very tacitly united in their external stance against the Holy Light Church, there is also internal competition, and it is not surprising that they even start wars against each other. The rest of the Empire, while happy to see a powerful Empire rise to the top, resist pressure from a cult that is inherently in conflict with them, but they never thought of making the other side too powerful and then encroaching on themselves.

Now, Lux sees Jiang Yan as a believer who has made a pact with the "other gods".

After all, Lux personally created Jiang Yan, the person who is descended from artificial dragons, and judging from his understanding of Jiang Yan, although this kid's talent is very good, it is really too abnormal to make his strength skyrocket in just two years, and it is really too abnormal for such a large span, and it is no longer a genius who can summarize the past.

Coincidentally, Jiang Yan's strength has grown rapidly in the past two years, and the time is almost the same as the period when the rumored 'Alien God Believer' appeared!

Although, until Lux was officially recruited into the Slint family by Angus, he had almost never relaxed his surveillance of Jiang Yan in the past two years, and he had never found out that this kid had contact with the rumored "alien god" or its believers, but the way the "alien god" and the believer made a contract itself was very mysterious, and no abnormalities were found, which does not mean that this kid is really fine.

"Believers...... Facing Lux's fierce gaze and the hint of murderous aura that came from the impact like the tip of a needle, Jiang Yan's expression was slightly stunned, then he shrugged his shoulders and said with a relaxed smile: "What you said is wrong, because I am not a 'believer', at most I can only be regarded as a 'contractor'." ”

After the countries of the Western Continent began to implement a recruitment strategy for the followers of the alien gods, in order to distinguish the two different groups of "true believers" and "false believers" of the "alien gods", now all forces have tacitly unified the name, and the only people who can be called "alien god believers" are true believers who are truly loyal to the "alien gods", and the false believers are all officially titled "alien god contractors".

What countries want to recruit is obviously 'contractors', after all, the terms of the contracts they have with the 'alien gods' are more lenient and easier to control by the countries.

In the case of 'believers', even if they are reluctantly recruited, these 'believers' are definitely more willing to obey the oracle of the mysterious "alien god" than the orders issued by the high-level officials of various countries, which is obviously intolerable to those in power.

Therefore, now after hearing Jiang Yan say that he was not a 'believer', but a 'contractor', Lux's expression suddenly softened. If you love it, how can you not pay attention to this or the hot online article, and chat about the online article together~
