Chapter 1148: The Truth of Reality
Although Elistra has subdued some of the forest elves, it is up to the forest elves who believe in her to spread her faith. However, this is not to say that Eliestria's path to spreading the faith was smooth sailing.
Within the forest elves, there are also a large number of people who are not interested in believing in Elisetsu. And among humans, there are also many human beings who are sexually deficient in believing in a god from the elves. In particular, in addition to swordsmanship and hunting, the three priesthoods that Elistra mastered, such as dancing, singing, and beauty, were also detrimental to the spread of faith.
In addition to the priesthood of beauty, she can attract quite a few women to believe in her.
Because women always love beauty, and Elisetsu's beautiful priesthood makes many women not stingy with the act of praying before and after bedtime. In addition to these, there are only swordsmanship and hunting priesthood, which attract the faith of a group of hunters and rangers.
The former needs to live by hunting, and it is necessary to worship a deity who holds the priesthood of 'hunting', and for the hunters to seek spiritual refuge. As a result, in the process of spreading the faith of the forest elves, a considerable number of human hunters chose to believe in Elisetsu. After that, there were some people like the Human Ranger who believed in Elisestere.
Elistra not only gave her priests more beautiful looks, but also taught them swordsmanship and hunting skills. In the same way, these priests traveled deep into the human realm to spread the faith of Elystrium, and also taught the humans who became Elisestere's followers swordsmanship and hunting skills. And this is not only what the goddess Elistry is good at, but also the priests who have been trained by the goddess are also good at this kind of skill.
However, although the goddess has gained a group of believers in the human kingdom. However, compared to the incomparably 'huge' population base of human beings at present. There are still not many human beings who choose Elistra as their lifelong faith and only faith. At least, compared to most struggling ordinary humans, they would rather believe in their dead ancestors than in Elisestere.
They didn't have much desire for Elisetree, and the power she wielded was not conducive to her faith spreading rapidly among humans.
What can humans gain by believing in her?
Is it to learn to dance, or to sing? And the desire for beauty? Or is it the skill of swordsmanship and hunting?
All this is too far away for ordinary humans, whether it is dancing, singing, swordsmanship and hunting, it is not something that ordinary humans can touch. For these human beings, who do not even have enough to eat, these professions belong to the real 'aristocratic' professions. It is those real aristocrats and wealthy merchants who do not worry about food, clothing, and shelter, and have enough time and energy, so that they have time to think and learn. And what about them? Every day is busy, doing the hardest work, eating food that is hard to swallow, waking up earlier than chickens and sleeping later than dogs......
Even if you still don't earn enough food to feed yourself and your family, where is the leisure to believe in a god who can't make your life a little better?
Although Elistriad's church often conducts various relief activities and fundraising, it is compared to the large population. The church's share of alms is a drop in the bucket. Moreover, in human society, these resources are not gratuitous. It still needs to be purchased with money, although the forest elves do not value yellow and white things, but in the human realm, they must abide by the rules set by humans. Therefore, the forest elves still need to find a way to earn money in the process of preaching, and they can only rely on themselves in this regard, because the base camp will not give the slightest help.
After all, Elistra was an alien deity, not the one who created their elves.
If it is to preach the belief of the 'God of Nature' and 'the creator of the forest spirits' Yininville, then the forest spirits will be very happy, they clearly know how 'powerful' the Father God who created them is, although they still can't understand this power and how powerful it is. However, this does not detract from the high status of Inningville in the eyes of the forest elves.
On the other hand, Elistra is just a god of unknown origin from the outside world. Although, Elistra seems to have an unusual relationship with Inningville. However, before Inningville admitted it himself, the forest elves did not like Elistra very much. They treat the gods with the humility and respect that they should maintain. However, if it was because he wanted to spread Eliestria's faith, so that the forest elves would spread the glory of the goddess at all costs, the forest elves would not do this at all.
Unless it was Inningville's own order, the forest elves would definitely not do this.
Nor would Inningville give such an order to force the children and people he created to spread Eliestria's faith at all costs for the sake of Elistra. In this way, the nature of this is completely different. After all, it was remarkable that Inningville had allowed Elistra to spread her faith among the people she had created.
If you want to force your own people to pave all the ways for the spread of Eliestria's faith at all costs. Then, the status and relationship between the two parties will be completely different.
At least, the very realistic Yiningville has not seen a qualification in Elistrian so far that he is worthy of such a 'bloody' investment. On the contrary, Elistry owes Inningville a debt that has not been repaid. Among the gods, this is also important, and it is more realistic than that of humans.
After all, friendship is friendship, and things other than friendship cannot be confused.
Besides, if Elistra can't even spread her own faith, then you can imagine how capable Elystry is. Such a little thing is not a trivial matter, and it can not be done well, it can only prove Elisetsu's ability, so far there is only so little. At that time, Inningville will also decide his attitude towards her based on Elise's actual performance.
He has a lot of things to do, and the reason why he is willing to open up the faith of the forest elves to her is also an investment. And in the future, Elistra is bound to repay this, and Elistra herself understands this truth. She also understands this, although her relationship with Inningville maintains a special relationship that is vague and inexplicable. It seems to be a friendship, but it is a little ambiguous, at least Elistra has more than just a friendship in her heart for Yiningville, but also some other thoughts, in short, it is not pure.
Until all this is fully understood, the relationship between the two sides is maintained at the current level.
And in the time she has been in contact with Inningville, Elistry has also learned something about Inningville. She knew very well that this god, who had been promoted to a powerful divine power in a very short period of time, had a scheming as deep as the sea and was undetectable! No one knew what was going on in his mind, but Elistra felt that he was going to do something earth-shattering.
And his 'investment behavior' also shows that at some point in the future, when the other party asks her for help, Elistra can't refuse. Whether it's saving herself from the spider god Queen Rose, or letting go of the faith of the species she has created. These are in themselves an act of investment, and she is bound to return them in the future.
This truth goes hand in hand with the gods.
Even a divine couple themselves have to maintain such an unspoken rule. At this stage of life, ordinary emotions cannot sustain the relationship between the gods. Only the mutual binding of interests can maintain the relationship between the gods, even if the gods are husband and wife. Whether it is family, or love and friendship, it has a certain effect on mortals, but for immortal gods, all this is nothing.
It's brutal, but it's such a naked side of reality.
