Chapter 64: The Merging of the Two Realms
Otherworldly, the Temple of the Highest.
There are three planes in the other world, namely the lower plane where ordinary people exist, the divine realm where gods and their servants live, and the Supreme Temple, which was created by the god king to convene the council of the gods once every hundred years.
The Temple of the High is both the temple of the Council of the Gods, which takes place every hundred years, and the residence of the god-king in peacetime.
Among them, there are also devout believers in the gods who live in the divine realm - or devout believers who enter the divine realm through pure faith and continue to believe in their own gods after death.
In other words, "those who believe in me go to heaven after death" does exist in this world.
But the requirements for going to "heaven" are very high, and only a few of the millions of believers are often qualified to become devout.
A devout believer is the most devout of all believers, and if a believer becomes a devout believer, then the god he believes in will sense it at the first time and send an oracle to him.
Devout believers are destined to enter the divine realm after death, and their only responsibility while they are still in the lower plane is to believe in the gods and spread the teachings until their souls ascend to the divine realm after death.
The devout have no real power in the sect of their gods, but they are equal to the Holy Woman, the Holy Son, and the Pope.
In addition, if there is a fight between sects, generally no one will take the initiative to harm the devout members of the rival sect.
"In other words," Gu Yunze sat on the gorgeous golden divine throne and looked at the god king opposite, "The power system of this world was not a belief system at the beginning, it was after you discovered the existence of pious believers, and then discovered the power of faith from them, and then created the current power system based on the power of faith. ”
"Yes," the God King nodded, "This Supreme Temple and the Divine Realm below were created by me using the power of faith in the lower planes, although I don't rely on the power of faith myself. ”
Hilart, who was obediently standing beside Gu Yunze: ......
I seem to know some big secret...... I'm not going to be silenced, am I......
She quietly looked at the God-King.
"Why does the God King look like he's stupider than me? Can such an important thing be said so casually?! ”
Hilat's heart twitched.
"Belief in the system of becoming a god......" Gu Yunze pondered for two seconds, "To be honest, this world is much better than I imagined. ”
In Gu Yunze's prediction, a world that believes in gods and gods really exists should be a world similar to the middle world of Blue Star, Xizhou.
The foolish people of the church rule the believers with the help of faith, guide the believers to "give", and from time to time eliminate a "heresy", tying "witches" and "wizards" to the stake and burning them.
When there is nothing to do, they will attack and invade places that are different from their beliefs, and in the name of "spreading faith for God"
To put it simply, the pope wields power, the people are not able to make a living, and mortal life is like a mustard, which is only used to provide a tool for faith.
But in fact, after seeing it with his own eyes, Gu Yunze found that this world was far more civilized than he imagined.
First of all, there are not many wars in this world, and the way in which the Church propagates faith for its own gods is mainly reasoning, and "wars" are only waged when there is a clear conflict between different churches that neither of them is willing to back down.
But this kind of war often rarely kills people, and in most cases it is injured, and it is generally just to divide the winner and loser, and the losing side has to take the initiative to back down.
With the exception of sects in which the gods of faith are opposed to each other, the relationship between them is generally immortal.
For example, the goddess of light and the god of darkness, the god of elves and the god of dwarves, their followers are eager to die on the other side.
In addition, faith is not forced, and ordinary people can choose not to believe in gods, or abandon the gods they believe in now and join the arms of other gods - provided that they are not in a hostile camp.
However, changing beliefs repeatedly will be rejected by all denominations.
People of different faiths can also form families, again as long as they are not in opposing camps.
Therefore, although it is relatively rare for a family to have two beliefs in the lower plane, it is actually a normal phenomenon.
There are many creatures in the lower plane who believe in gods, and almost nine out of ten of all creatures will believe in gods, among which human beings mainly believe in the four main gods: the goddess of light, the god of darkness, the god of earth and harvest, and the god of sea and life.
Each of these four deities has its own religion, and the people of the religion are their followers, and there are also a large number of believers outside the religion.
In addition, there are other deities, large and small, that do not have a religion, but have their own sects.
Some of them are subordinate to the Lord God, such as Hilat, who is the god of dawn and starlight.
The biggest difference between this world and the medieval Western continent of Blue Star is that the believers are people, not lambs.
And the belief in the gods can eat enough and not starve to death.
Devout belief in the gods can at least get a good harvest of grain.
The gods will bless the land of the faithful through the clergy, so that the land can be harvested.
The more powerful the gods, the better the blessings given to the believers, believing in the gods, and being rich and noble is not something that everyone can have, but at least it is still okay not to starve to death.
In addition, the strongest main god is the dragon god, and the god of the earth and the harvest is the god of the earth and the second strongest with the most believers.
In His church, everything that grows out of the land is not taxed, because it is so large that there is no need to collect it.
"I thought I would see a world where gods fool mortals and exploit faith," Gu Yunze groped his chin, "But what I didn't expect was that the people in this world seemed to be doing well?" At least very few people will starve to death. ”
"This can be regarded as the reason why I have established a system of faith power," the God King nodded, "The existence of the gods and the divine realm has turned the ethereal faith into a real blessing. ”
"However, the individual transcendent path of this world is basically equivalent to a broken ......," Gu Yunze pointed out the drawbacks.
"Not necessarily," the God King shook his head, "Although the lower plane that has been transformed by the power of faith is no longer suitable for the cultivation method before the appearance of the god system, it may not be that there are no new methods. ”
The God King's gaze fell on Gu Yunze's body.
"Oh? His Excellency the God-King means ......"
Gu Yunze narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully.
"Let me be straight, I want to join forces with Your Excellency to fuse the laws of the two worlds together."
The God King said bluntly: "After the laws of the world are fused, my world can follow the path of your world's individual transcendence, and your world can also use the laws of my world to complete and improve the cultivation system. ”
"It sounds like a win-win deal, but ......" Gu Yunze put on a curious look, "Why do you want the system of my world?" There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the god system in this world, so why do you want to add variables? ”
"Do you think the lower plane is stable now?"
"Hmm...... It should be said that it is very smooth. ”
"But this kind of stability has lasted for two thousand years, and the lower plane has been like a pond of stagnant water for the entire two thousand years, and this world is a little too stable, and it has even lost its ...... change."
"If you are poor, you will change, and if you change, you will be able to do it for a long time, it seems that you mean this?"
Gu Yunze nodded, indicating that he understood.
"But there are still two problems, first of all, the fusion of the laws of different worlds is equivalent to a drastic change in the original laws of the world, in which the risks that ordinary beings have to bear cannot be described in words, and when the time comes, if you are not careful, the integration of the two worlds may become the same end."
"Unless we can control the laws of our world to blend in order to minimize risk and minimize losses." The God-King answered.
"I'm a little sure, but it's going to take some time."
With the help of the characteristics and permissions of the chat group, Gu Yunze can increase his half-percent grasp to fifty-percent certainty, and give him some time and preparation, this certainty can be even greater.
"I have no problem, the system of the power of faith and the gods was created by me, it has lasted for 10,000 years, it is the only mainstream power system in this world, and after 10,000 years, I have enough control over the laws of this world."
The God-King is confident.
"In a little while, I'll be fine here."
Gu Yunze's words were equivalent to agreeing to the plan of merging the two worlds.
"However, after the fusion of the two worlds, although it is not the world that merges, but after the laws of the two worlds are unified, I am afraid that something that crosses each other may happen......"
"It doesn't matter, as long as I can't wait for the war, it's just a small fight."
The God King was very confident, although he could only learn about the other world when Hilart crossed over with Gu Yunze, but he was sure that there was no one on the other side who could be stronger than him on his home field.
The god system of this world originated from him, and tens of thousands of years was long enough for him to completely control this world.
This is his self-confidence as a supreme being of the world.
As for Gu Yunze, the other strongest person in the world, well......
He said it looked like his disguise was successful.
