Since the end of the mythological era, although religious organizations have emerged in an endless stream on the mainland, gradually, people have regarded gods as words that only appear in mythological stories, and religion has been wiped out in the long river of history due to the lack of soil for development in the long period of poverty.

Today, however, a new sect has been founded in the city of Muradin in the Sultanate of Salander, with the name of the simple and straightforward Cult of Natural Deity, which focuses on being close to nature and protecting the environment, as well as taking into account the aspects of harvest and hunting, as well as health. At present, there is only one high priest Lorraine, and only two believers, Hu Bin and Fanta, and the temple is also under construction, but there is no trace of it. But it's not important, what matters is that there is a real god standing behind the sect.

With the tide of magic surging, the warband world has entered a new era. Magic reappears before people's eyes, not just in mythology. The advent of the gods was only an inevitable event that followed the trend of history, and the war of faith broke out.

The old order was shattered, and a great era descended on this world that had been silent for a long time. When people trace history and look at the beginning of the great era, they find such a history.

On August 5, 1257 in the continental calendar, the first god to descend into the world, the goddess of nature, Elune, sent an oracle to order the faithful believers Lord Reed to establish his first temple in the holy city of Muradin, and at the same time established a sect, called the Cult of Nature Deities. This day is regarded as the beginning of a great era by later generations, and the year 1257 of the continental calendar is also regarded as the first year of the new calendar.

Who is Lord Reed, maybe no one knows, the legendary holy city of Muradine has also disappeared, but the top name of the Cult of Nature God is known to everyone, this behemoth across five continents in its heyday dominated the world pattern for two full eras, until the late Second Age because of its tolerant and moderate doctrine, the leadership was replaced by the hard-line Cult of the Illuminati, but it still has a huge influence among the people at the bottom.

And Lord Reed, the founder of the sect, is now listening to the teachings of the great god Lorraine.

The priests in World of Warcraft are not believers in the gods, their beliefs are more like a belief, and this object of worship called the Holy Light by the priests and paladins is actually an unknown positive energy. The stronger the positive belief, the more these energies will be attracted, and with some special means, the priest can use this energy to cast spells. Such a system is similar to a sacrifice, like the belief in an unconscious god, but it is fundamentally different.

But whether it is the light or the gods, there is not much difference in the spread of faith.

"To spread the faith, you must first clearly let people know the benefits of faith, so that you can attract believers and take the first step. Realize these benefits while strengthening the faith of believers, and then use them as seeds to attract more believers, thereby expanding the power of the sect. Lorraine Kaikai talked, without the usual appearance of going crazy when he talked about the holy light, and Hu Bin was very puzzled by this.

"The belief of the goddess of the moon also exists in my world, and we are in the same camp of order, and we have almost no doctrinal conflicts, and most of the goddess's followers are oriented to justice, which is convenient for my great cause in the future." Looking at Lorraine, who had made another old mistake, Hu Bin rolled his eyes, thinking that digging the foot of the wall is also a great cause, and you can also say it.

What Hu Bin didn't expect was that the goddess Elune actually named Lorraine to take the position of high priest, not caring whether he was his own believer or not, digging his own corner or not.

The subsequent events proved how sharp the goddess's vision was, and Lorraine, with her good popularity in the city, actually recruited many people to participate in the actions of the sect. These people cover all walks of life, and there are materialists like scholars joining them.

Hu Bin then learned that Lorraine had visited several villages under his rule, and that he had won the trust of the villagers at the cost of just a few glimmers of treatment. The ensuing Accelerated Growth Divine Technique conquered these people who lived on the land, and the name of the Cult of Nature entered the hearts of these people.

However, the missionary matter is not without resistance, and a large urban expansion project like Muradine City cannot be started casually, even the Sultan of Hakim has asked Hu Bin about this matter, but Hu Bin has sufficient reasons and confidence, and the Sultan will go with him, after all, this is not a bad thing for Saland.

Due to the limitations of his vision and cognition, Hakim Sultan did not know what Hu Bin was doing, he would not understand the power of faith, nor would he know the power of the gods, nor would he know what kind of great changes would happen in the future of the world. But the ruler's astuteness made him feel that Hu Bin's proselytizing behavior would threaten the interests of the nobility. After all, for many years the noble lords ruled over the commoners while giving them shelter, while the commoners contributed taxes and soldiers while obeying the orders of the rulers. At this time, there was an additional cult of gods, you must know that since ancient times, divine power and monarchy have been a contradiction, Hu Bin had long expected that Sultan Hakim would ask about this matter, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

Hakim Sultan was surprised to learn about the teachings of the Cult of Deities and Hu Bin's demonstration of the effects of the magic that accelerates growth, and then became excited, and decisively issued a decree throughout the country to vigorously promote the Cult of Nature. After all, Salander's land is too barren, and food production has always been a major problem restricting national strength, and now that he sees hope for a solution, how can Sultan Hakim not be excited.

As for the question of the right to rule, Lord Reed himself is the ruling class, how can he deliberately harm the interests of the nobility, and the teachings of the moon god are known for being peaceful and tolerant, and they are not too dominant, and most of the divine arts are related to the people's livelihood, but can stabilize the country's ruling power.

The missionary cause of the Cult of God was unprecedentedly smooth in the territory of Salander, and the Sultan of Hakim even united several major families to inject funds into the Cult and build temples in major cities, hoping that the Cult could quickly spread to various territories and let the convenience of the Divine Art affect the whole country.

While there was a vigorous wave of religious belief in Salander, the reaction of the kingdom of Rhodok was much more lukewarm. As soon as Fanta returned to Viruga, she began to preach, but as a result, she ran into walls at every turn.

Although Fanta does not have the same great popularity among the commoners as Lorraine, she is a lord-level nobleman after all, and it stands to reason that she will not encounter much resistance. However, even Hu Bin expected that Rhodok was really not interested in a series of convenient conditions for the Divine Cult.

Rhodok could not afford much change now, and in the past few years he had suffered a series of blows, especially the destruction of many villages, and the inability of the army to support him, which called into question the country's right to rule. If the faith is spread in the country now, it may lead to the instability of the regime. King Graves also saw the merits of the cult, but he said that the Rhodoc ruling class would not accept any religion in the short term.

Hu Bin estimated that at this stage, the Divine Church was not capable of preaching to foreign countries, so he temporarily gave up the missionary plan of Rhodok, after all, it is very difficult to select clergy in China, and there are many people who are pure in faith, but there are not many people who can serve as missionaries. As a result, in many areas, there are priests who have no dogma but do not preach and solve doubts, and even there are cases of misinterpretation of doctrines. As a result, Lorraine had to use a group of scholars to temporarily serve as priests to solve some doctrinal problems with believers, needless to say, the cost of hiring people fell on Hu Bin's head.

However, it is not enough to have a doctrine without the corresponding divine arts, Hu Bin can only say that the plan cannot catch up with the changes, he did not expect that the speed of the development of the divine cult in Salander is so rapid, and now it is impossible to digest it, and the temples in various places are still under construction, there is no way to cultivate sacrifices, and there is no way to use divine magic on a large scale to appease the expectations of believers. But if there is a delay now, the disappointed civilians may abandon their newfound beliefs, and then Hu Bin's joke will be bigger.

Even the nobles who were good friends contacted Hu Bin one after another, trying to seek some magic skills, after all, this magical power was really attractive. Hu Bin, who had no choice, could only contact the goddess Elune to see if there was any way to temporarily use some magic to ensure that he would survive this awkward period.

Goddess Elune was very satisfied with Hu Bin's efficiency, in just one month, her religion had actually developed in a good way, and she could even feel a trace of faith slowly condensing, knowing how difficult it was to do this in such a short time without a temple. When the goddess in a good mood learns that her followers are in trouble, she allows him to use the divine power stored in the Moonshadow Stone to perform miracles to strengthen the Cult's position in the hearts of the newborn believers.

After finishing the prayer, Hu Bin took out the Moon Shadow Stone that had been placed on his body, and the attributes on it had been revealed to him.

"Moon Shadow Stone (Gemstone): A magical and rare gemstone with a wide range of uses, created by the gods.

Grade: Epic

Attributes: Stores the divine power with the same attributes (the upper limit is unknown, the remaining divine power is unknown), can be embedded (the attribute is unknown), can be used as a medicine (the effect is unknown), and can be used as a spell center (amplification unknown)

Additional attribute skills are unknown

Synopsis: The color of the moon god Elune"

The goddess gave Hu Bin the right to use part of the divine power quota, and 5,000 points of divine power can perform many large-scale divine arts, which solves the urgent need of the current divine cult. And what made Hu Bin even more excited was that these divine powers could actually be converted into divine power essence through the moon shadow stone, for the numbered person with the body template, this is just a product that can quickly replenish the divine power value, but the transformation loss of divine power is also quite large, and it is not as affordable as the moon well water mass-produced by the temple. However, this thing can meet the needs of nobles, after all, there is no concept of energy system in the warband world, and directly taking the essence of divine power can extend their lifespan, and even if they wear it for a long time, they can also improve their physique and nourish their spirits.

While Hu Bin was busy with religious matters, the situation on the mainland was becoming more and more complicated, although all countries were more restrained during this time, but everyone could see that this was the calm before the storm, and the clouds of war once again loomed over the continent.
