The White King's eyes were gloomy, a little lost, and he nodded, "At that time, I had a low status in the clan, and I had just reached adulthood, and I had only mastered a few dragon clan abilities......

Hey, after all, I was young at that time, and I was eager to build up my career, so I chose to secretly help the people of Jidu develop their faith. ”

Joyna asked, "Help the people of Jidu develop their faith?" Why would you do this? ”

Bai Wang said, "Although their race is in a prosperous period, and their technological strength cannot catch up with the Atlanteans, they are also very powerful. It's just that under the glossy surface of the unknown, they are morally degenerate, blind and arrogant, and even more indifferent to the belief in the gods.

When I first walked through their city, I saw the glorious buildings and the smoke rising from the city; Seeing aliens who were burned at the stake in public; When I saw the black and oppressive fanatical crowd in the square, as well as the big pit full of corpses, in addition to puzzlement and shock, there was another indescribable feeling in my heart.

We dragons came from that ancient era, and we have seen the rise and fall of the ancient races with our own eyes, and we know that the changes that are taking place in their society, but these people originally believed in Genshin Impact, why did they become like this?

From my observation, in a collective, individual emotions are easily manipulated, and the opportunities for receiving external information are reduced.

When everything is relatively consistent, a person's ability to think is limited.

However, due to the general environment, other religious beliefs will emerge in an endless stream, and all kinds of statements and speeches will have a place. Those who blindly follow the masses will choose theories that the majority of people support.

Mythism is accepted in people's minds, but their beliefs today are not created by the original god and his followers as I know it.

When the majority has expressed its opinion, the minority will weaken its independence and choose to submit to the opinion of the majority, or simply choose to "silence" and become obedient lambs.

We've been at war with otherworldly creatures many times, and they've often fought with each other, with similar results, with some being forced into seclusion in the depths of the sea and retreating from the human world, while others have disappeared and never disappeared.

Because the fertility rate of our dragons is extremely low, and their strength is constantly weakening.

So after several wars, and after such a long time, the dragon clan decided not to participate in the conquest of the mortal world anymore, but they were thinking about how to restore the faith of Genshin Impact all the time.

After all, this world was created by Genshin Impact.

Unlike the Atlanteans, who focused on the development of technology, these people paid more attention to the development of spiritual abilities, and the cultivation of spiritual power has become a tradition for most people.

The reason for the decline of these races' beliefs may be that they rely too much on their own cultivation and do not pay attention to everything. Eventually, atheism rose among them, and the belief in Genshin Impact was gradually declining.

That's another reason why I chose them. ”

Joyna fell silent after hearing this.

She knew what the White King was trying to convey – the logic behind unconscious collectivism and dictatorship, which eventually developed into distorted religion and belief.

And the disappearance of faith, in the hundreds of years after the cataclysm, human beings lived like the walking dead, and they also experienced it.

This is the domination of blind will, or the unconscious at all.

The history of human development for thousands of years is inseparable from faith, counting from the primitive era when Ru Mao drank blood, even if science and technology are developed, those religions that have risen in various eras still occupy most people's lives.

Thousands of years later, people are still relied upon.

Blind life, completely unbelieved, atheism or polytheism is an idea, and it is also the embodiment of faith. These people who have common preferences and common cognitions can always find their own group.

In short, the ruling class needs faith to control people's minds, just as dictatorship is the embodiment of everyone's control over their own consciousness.

But she doesn't know too much about psychology, and as an ordinary person's reflection, conflicts caused by faith are not uncommon, which really makes her chill.

People who are outside the group tend to overestimate their independence of thought and self-control, and most people think that they can control their thoughts well and will not be brainwashed.

But it's the opposite, at the beginning, most people also thought that they wouldn't be brainwashed, so they just didn't have a match, and they just cooperated with the ruler's words and practices.

In fact, people are often more susceptible to the environment around them than they think.

In an environment controlled by collectivism and religious beliefs, the will of the individual is infinitely compressed.

But the positive effects of this collective on people, especially those who lack a sense of belonging, such as encouragement and support, and friendly responses, can make people ignore the negative effects of this collective brainwashing thought.

Human nature has weaknesses, and few people can resist the feeling of self-esteem.

As long as enough rights are granted, the ruler will choose to use spiritual power, religion, and other means to control others. Even if there is really a saint who can resist the self-esteem, the pursuit and use of history and the surrounding people will also push him into an involuntary whirlpool, unable to extricate himself.

The rulers of the Holy City clearly knew this, and they plunged all the people of the Holy City into that kind of fanatical worship.

If there is no God, they will make it themselves, and if they can't make it, they will use what is ready, whatever God is.

"Well, these things are unbelievable...... And then, how did you guys fight side by side together? Joyna asked again.

"Don't worry, listen to me first."

The White King let out a long sigh and said, "On that continent, there is a pitch-black flooded place that has sunk to the bottom of the sea, called the City of Mist. The city was ancient, centuries before our dragons were born. ”

Long Yantian frowned, and said lightly, "City of Mist? I also have the impression that I was supposed to be sent there on a mission. ”

"Hmph—it's good you didn't go, or you would have died."

"I don't know where the news came from, saying that the sunken City of Mist was originally a treasure trove with many secrets." The White King shook his head and continued, "So, after a few contacts, the High Priests and Elders of the Holy City made me ask me to tell them the exact location of the City of Mist......

You don't have to ask to know that they want to take the treasure inside.

Unfortunately, because the City of Fog drifts and doesn't have a fixed location, even I can't know its exact location, but I can only sense its presence occasionally.

According to the ancient lineage of the dragons, the City of Mist has wonderful energy fluctuations, which are emitted by the ancient city left behind by the fallen angels. ”

Joyna asked, "You don't know the place either?" ”

The White King nodded, "I don't know at all, in fact, even if I knew, I wouldn't tell them the secrets of that place, maybe the dark things are in it."

In short, a taboo is a taboo, and I won't let them use their brains. It was listed as a forbidden place for the dragons, but the other elders of the dragons probably knew the origin of the place. ”

"Oh, do you dragons pass on knowledge from memory?" Joyna asked.

"Sort of, each generation of our dragon clan will turn knowledge into a spiritual carrier and pass it on to the next generation with the secret methods of the dragon clan."

"Well, since it's a secret method, I won't ask. One more question...... Do the priests of the Jidu people know that you are a dragon? ”

The White King shook his head and sighed, "I don't know, but they shouldn't have been able to see it at the time!"

Although I had just reached adulthood at that time, the spiritual source accumulated in my body was enough for me to use the dragon's unique transformation ability. Like now, if I don't tell you, can you recognize me as a dragon from the crowd? ”

Joyna hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "That's right." ”

She continued, "What happened? Just because you can't tell you where the City of Fog is, your private deal fell through? ”

"No, am I that stupid? I'll look at other options. And, I soon found out something else. ”

"What is it?"

"At that time, I was almost obsessed, and I only wanted to establish a meritorious deed, complete my mission, and restore the faith of those people and the worship of the ancient gods of the past."

"Why do you have to do this?"

The White King's expression was very sincere, and he looked at Joyna and said, "Why? Maybe you don't understand how our Guardians feel. For countless years, a strong desire existed in us, and whenever I fell asleep, there was a constant sound in my head.

I know that it is the blood of the ancients flowing in the dragons' bodies, calling for the spirit of the collapse of the Genshin Impact.

So, of course, I did this to restore the original order, to faith in God!

You don't understand, but the dragons know that reverence for the gods is the greatest lash against the enemies of the gods!

And faith comes from spiritual power. Genshin Impact's flames can warm people's hearts, cook for people, and dispel horrors in the dark.

My philosophy is simple, God needs spiritual offerings. As for the believers, of course, the more the better. So, for the ultimate purpose, I came up with a condition that they couldn't refuse. ”

"Can't refuse?"

"Heh, what a can't refuse!" Long Yantian didn't speak for a long time, but at this time, he couldn't help but mock, "You just saw the power tilting within the Holy City, playing a little trick of political power scheme, using the open and secret battles between several gangsters to magnify your own interests!" ”

The White King's eyes froze, and he said with disdain, "So what? Even if these politicians eat steamed buns with human blood, I only think about my own interests, is this wrong?

They are lawless, they are crazy about each other's power, they are already hooligans before they put on the sacrificial robes, and what do I have to do with the most sinister ideas?

Even prostitutes and beggars know how to protect their territory, how can those who are high and powerful not know to protect their wings?

I didn't create the faction of your rulers in Jidu, the high priests of the Holy City were all ambitious, I didn't teach them, and I didn't participate in your power struggle, but I also helped you deal with the war of the alien races, didn't you have to obey their orders at that time! ”

"Hmph—what right do you have to lecture me?"

Hearing this, Long Yantian just sneered and did not refute.

After all, what the other party said is also the truth.
