Chapter 246: Innovation and Evolution
After the 9 million square kilometers of the black fog dispersed in the world of strange things were all owned by the Chulong clan, in the next 40 years, in order to consolidate the divine rule, Zhang Longchu used all the harvested elemental energy to manifest miracles, which finally made the vast majority of the surviving aborigines and descendants forget the old country and converted to become believers.

Seeing that the rule had been consolidated, if he didn't want to continue to worry about labor, he could just get through the rest of the torrent with peace of mind.
However, because the strange thing absorbed the source of the demigod's power when it grew up recently, it can naturally produce a very small amount of divine power every day to give people extraordinary power, and although the old theocratic ruling system can barely support the operation of the Chulong Kingdom, if the world of strange things expands again, I am afraid it will become a plate of scattered sand, so Zhang Longchu gave rise to the idea of religious innovation.
In the end, after some consideration, he took the risk of sending down an oracle to divide all the land suitable for human habitation in the already extremely vast Chulong Kingdom into 81 large dioceses in units of 100,000 square kilometers;
Each major diocese has 10 dioceses;
Eventually, 10 smaller dioceses were set up in each diocese to establish ********, but the administrative, judicial, and military ruling bodies were relatively independent.
Among them, the name of the chief executive of the minor diocese is the priest, the prefect of the judiciary is called the sacrificial wine, and the military governor is called the general, and the three stand on their feet and are not subordinate to each other.
Among them, the priests and sacrificial wine are elected by the believers in the region from the city lords of the small cities with a population of less than 100,000 people, and the term of office is 6 years, and the division generals are directly selected from the junior generals in the army, although there is no term of office, but they must be transferred every 6 years.
The name of the supreme administrator of the diocese is the bishop, the prefect of the judiciary is called the commander, and the military governor is called the head of the army, and the three are also not subordinate to each other.
Among them, the bishop and the priest are elected by the many priests and priests within the jurisdiction of the diocese from among the lords of the city with a population of more than 100,000 people, and the term of office is five years, which can be re-elected indefinitely, and the head of the army is directly elected from the middle and middle generals of the army, and is transferred every five years.
In the end, the supreme governor of the archdiocese is the archbishop, the judicial prefect is the archbishop, and the military prefect is the military chief, which is also independent of each other, of which the archbishop and the archbishop are elected by the 10 bishops and priests of the archdiocese by mutual vote for a term of 4 years, which can be re-elected indefinitely, and the military lord is transferred every 4 years in the archdiocese.
In addition, there is also the position of the emperor above the archbishop, the chief priest, and the lord of the army, who rules all the mundane powers of the Chulong Kingdom, and is personally canonized by Zhang Longchu when he sends down the oracle every 20 years.
The benefits of such an earth-shaking political and religious reform were immeasurable, and the Chulong people, who had been accustomed to enjoying peace for a while, suddenly found that their lives had changed from peaceful and orderly to dark and dirty overnight.
In order to compete for power and profit, keep their positions of power or even rise to higher heights, at least more than half of the ordinary-looking clergy began to resort to various means to attack and slander each other, and the entire society involved became turbulent.
In the end, the chaotic order even allowed some remnants of the old indigenous regime to find an opportunity to launch several subversive and rebellions on an astonishing scale in just one or two years through various demagoguery methods.
Fortunately, Zhang Longchu had mastered the power of the true gods in the world of strange things, and the previous theocratic ruling system had been extremely consolidated, so in the end, under the deterrence of the divine punishment that he spared no effort to send down one after another, the political and religious reform was still extremely difficult and slowly advanced.
At this time, through straightening out, there were less than 500,000 clergy in the early dragon clan who held actual political, judicial, and military positions, and most of them were transcendent beings with supernatural powers.
Zhang Longchu did not give any favor to these people, but for the remaining believers who did not have extraordinary abilities but relied on their extraordinary intelligence to hold power as ordinary people, he instilled divine power, extended their lifespan, and gave these people the ability to use the elemental energy points generated by the world of strange things to perform divine magic.
In the past, although there was also a legend in the Chulong clan that after becoming a priest, the great lord would give supernatural power, but after all, it was only an illusory possibility, and now I saw that all the ordinary people who became the lords of a city and a place returned to their youth overnight, and mastered the supernatural ability in one fell swoop, which naturally caused a sensation in the entire territory of the Chulong Kingdom.
The middle-aged and the old men with mature minds were only amazed, but countless children and young people who came from ordinary backgrounds and had no extraordinary talents, but were full of all kinds of fantasies about their future, suddenly became fanatical and pious, so that in the following ten years, the number of fanatics, which was originally very scarce, continued to emerge, and the number of devout believers also increased exponentially.
At the same time, after the comprehensive reform of the religious and political structure, the Chulong Kingdom also slowly ushered in a more stable and peaceful situation than before, so that Zhang Longchu finally had the conditions to slowly accumulate some elemental energy to evolve his transformation ability.
The territory of 9 million square kilometers can provide him with 360,000 points of air, fire, earth, and water elemental power every day, and those clergy who have received the infusion of divine power will theoretically consume these elemental energies with it.
But in fact, these people are already in high positions, and they have long developed the habit of not having to do everything by themselves, and they must abide by the creed of never wasting a drop of divine grace until they are forced to do so, so there will be almost no loss, so without showing a miracle, Zhang Longchu can save almost all the elemental energy points.
Of course, this situation is the most ideal state, in fact, because the territory of theocracy is already extremely vast, even if the political situation is stable but strives for perfection, Zhang Longchu still uses divine magic from time to time to show his existence to the believers, in order to enhance their piety, in this way, in fact, the remaining elemental energy he can have is only half of the ideal state at most.
But even so, the daily harvest of about 300,000 points of elemental energy also made Zhang Longchu feel extremely satisfied.
After all, if these elemental points are converted into primary troops, thousands of troops can be formed in the real world in a day, and even the top alchemy creations in the world of strange things, silver lives, can create as many as 24.
After more than two months of hard work, he finally had a good result, and at noon one day, he felt that he had gathered enough elemental energy points needed to evolve and transform his ability, turned his mind, and returned to the real world.
Outside the window at this time, through the cold wind, sitting upright on the beam and looking out, Zhang Longchu was surprised to see that the entire land as far as his eyes could see had been covered with snow.
"Is the snow in Boston so big and so thick in winter?" he jumped out of the window like a boneless snake in the cold wind, and after landing on the ground, he was surprised to find that the university was submerged in his crotch, and he couldn't help muttering in surprise, and then jumped dozens of meters in the thick snow, and after a while, he came to a small lake far away from the farm.
Looking around and feeling that the environment here was very satisfying to him, Zhang Longchu took a deep breath, lay down in the snow, closed his eyes, and turned into a giant wolf, immersing his consciousness in the world of strange things.
Suddenly, under the control of his mind, the accumulated energy of the two elements of qi and water began to penetrate into his body, and gradually in reality, Zhang Longchu's huge wolf body began to become transparent, and the already crystal clear hairs were transformed into ice crystals little by little.
At the same time, the flesh and bones around his body seemed to be attacked by an invisible and irresistible extreme cold hurricane, constantly shrinking, and as time passed, the skin began to crack into deep lines one after another, and through the cracks, it can be seen that his internal organs have also turned into ice crystals.
Outside of this time, with Zhang Longchu's location as the central point, the temperature within a few hundred meters of the surrounding area began to drop suddenly, so that the snow and soil were firmly cemented together.
After experiencing such a cruel transformation, the giant wolf incarnated by Zhang Longchu naturally continued to struggle in pain, and then the entire body began to twitch violently, and then the corners of the mouth, eyes, ears, and nostrils spurted out streams of bright red blood.
And the blood seems to naturally carry a magical warmth, obviously not very hot, but flowing in an environment where the temperature is already colder than the polar regions, but there is no sign of freezing, but a little bit of diffusion, infiltration, and finally dyed dozens of square meters of ice and snow around the giant wolf into a red color.
As time passed, the blood that flowed out of the giant wolf's seven orifices became less and less, and finally stagnated, and at this time, its body had completely frozen into ice, and there was no trace of its life.
At this moment, the sky was fluttering with goose feather snow.
After a while, the demon wolf that Zhang Longchu had incarnated into was completely covered by the falling snow, but at this moment, his heart, which had completely transformed into ice crystals, suddenly beat slightly.
And again, and again... First, the heartbeat returned, and then the cold wind and snow began to infiltrate the giant wolf's body strangely, like blood began to circulate, and the continued stiff hairs became soft again... In the end, the giant wolf regained its life, but its original huge body was reduced by half, but it had completed the qualitative transformation from flesh and blood to semi-elemental life.
After completing the breakthrough of transforming into a demon wolf, Zhang Longchu's body naturally changed into the appearance of a giant bear in the form of a wolf, and the elemental energy points he absorbed in the world of strange things also changed from water and qi to fire and earth.
So the experience just now was repeated again, only to change from freezing to burning, and about two hours later, the giant bear incarnated by Zhang Longchu was reborn from the fire with the help of a body shaped of clay, and also successfully evolved from silver life to gold level.
