The Solna River flows quietly, giving birth to a third of the life of the Eldor Peninsula and forming many river valleys, among which the Solna Valley, which is called by the name of the river, is home to several city-states, which are second only to the city of Bethlethor due to their abundant water and fertile land.

Outside the newly built temple of the Lord of War in Husum was a wide plaza with a half-height platform in front of it, crowded with linen-robed populaces who spontaneously gathered to uphold the gods of their faith, while the bronze cuirasses of the Angnoma Empire soldiers lazily guarded outside, oblivious to the few religious disputes, as if wishing that the infidels would kill themselves and restore peace to the world.

On the half-height platform, the god of the moon, the god of thunder and lightning, the god of wind and rain, the goddess of the earth, the lord of the underworld, the god of the sun and justice, the god of wisdom, If they do not let the power of their own gods surpass the other gods and become one of the three most powerful gods, they will be expelled from the valley by the Lord of War, lose a stable source of faith, gradually decline, and finally be differentiated and absorbed by the corresponding gods of the Angnoma god system, completely fall or become an incarnation of the other party.

Although each priest knew that this was a means for the "Lord of War" to divide and rule, and that it was inevitable that their respective gods would truly enter the Angnoma gods, no one dared to resist, this was the fate of the betrayers and losers, and for them, this path was not necessarily hopeless, after integrating the beliefs of the Solna Valley. The power of one's own gods will inevitably increase significantly, and it is still unknown whether it will be absorbed by the corresponding gods of the Angnoma god system or vice versa.

The priest of the "Lord of War" who sat on the golden throne above was a beautiful woman with brown hair, dressed in an Angnoma-style white robe, with a slit at the hem that reached her waist, and her slick and powerful legs were occasionally exposed.

She is the second chief priest of the Temple of Bethitham, and Nena, who also belongs to the high priesthood level.

"Salute to the Great Lord of War, Lord of all strife and destruction. "The sixteen priests of the eight gods saluted in unison, just as they had faced the main god Afando.

Nena herself danced a war dance to please the gods, and then solemnly faced the lower part to announce the beginning of the "theological" debate.

Suddenly. Two black-haired men dressed in washed-white robes stood in front of the half-height platform. He said loudly to the guards: "Let us go up, we come to the theological meeting on behalf of the great God of resurrection, abundance and redemption." ”

"There has never been such a god name, it must belong to the false gods, the guards. Banish them from the city!" Norbu, the priest of the moon god Asin, rebuked severely.

The strength of the moon god Axin is in the middle of the eight remaining gods. It's hard to say whether they will be the last three winners. In the face of competitors who appeared out of nowhere, Norbu, an old man dressed in complicated and gorgeous clothes, naturally did not have a good face.

Francis, as a "retinue", motioned with his eyes to Lucien to hurry up and say the prepared words.

Lucien met Nobu's eyes without fear and said, "Whether or not our God of Resurrection, Fertility and Redemption can participate in this meeting is up to the Lord of the Great War to decide. Instead of the Moon God, you spoke before the High Priest of Nena, did you rank the Moon God before the Lord of War?"

Francis raised his eyebrows in slight surprise, this is not the words discussed before, but in the current situation, the effect seems to be better, it can more effectively provoke the relationship between the moon god and the lord of war, and more effectively provoke Asin to achieve the real purpose, "This Leviathan has the ability to play on the spot......"

"You ......" such a big hat was buttoned down, and Norbu, the high priest of the moon god, was so angry that he was speechless for a while.

Lucien frightened Nobu, stopped the other priests from speaking, and looked at Nena "sincerely": "Honorable High Priest, according to the oracle of the Lord of War, it should be that all the gods who preach in the Solna Valley are qualified to participate in this meeting, I wonder if I understand it wrong?"

"Nope. Nena replied as coldly and briefly as a female warrior.

Lucien smiled: "Our Lord, the God of Resurrection, Fertility and Redemption, also has believers in the Solna Valley, and I beg the High Priest to allow us to attend this theological meeting. ”

"You have to prove it yourself. "One more deity has no effect on the Lord's arrangement, but can make the contradiction sharper and more conducive to future annexation, so Nena did not object, and said succinctly.

Lucien raised his right hand, and Ancius, who was hiding in the shadows, applauded softly, and the secret believers of the former "God of Fire and Destruction" in front of him applauded loudly, praising El, the god of resurrection, abundance, and salvation.

Nobu and the priests of the other gods looked at each other, and they could not imagine that this strange god of resurrection, abundance, and salvation had been secretly preaching in the valley for a long time, and that he and others were too careless.

They didn't expect this to be the incarnation of Afando at all, because before Francis put forward his opinion, according to the understanding of the gods, the importance of the priesthood is more important than the name of the god, it means the amount of power and the number of spells, so even if they change the name of the god, they will not change the godhood, often after annexing other similar priesthoods, by changing the name of the god, turning into a "vest" to swallow the original faith, like this, it is difficult to associate with the resurrection, abundance and salvation that seem to be completely unrelated to the "fire and destruction" priesthood.

Under the hostile gaze of the priests and believers, Lucien took Francis to sit on the newly added silver chair, and listened to Nena: "This theological meeting is to debate the power of the gods you believe in, so as to discern who is the true god and who is the false god, and who is more worthy of faith. ”

With this sentence, no matter how far the final debate goes, the victor also obeys the oracle of the Lord of War, and in the hearts of the believers below, it is obvious that the Lord of War is even higher.

"My Lord is the embodiment of the sun, shining on all things and dispelling darkness, like a flame, symbolizing the power of light and the power of punishment, and at the same time, he is the ruler of the rules and binds the gods. It binds humans, so it is undoubtedly above the other seven gods. The priest of the god of the sun and justice preemptively spoke, depicting the power and power of the gods in order to win the yearning of the believers.

The uneducated believers nodded slightly, the sun hung in the sky every day, making people feel warm, in contrast to the darkness, and they knew by feeling that the Tao must be important, and the sun and the god of justice must also be very powerful, and believing in him may be more beneficial.

The Lord of the Underworld saw the expressions of the believers below. He immediately stood up and said, "There is life and death." Every intelligent life cannot get rid of the shadow of death, and life is short, but death is eternal, and the great master of the underworld controls the world after death. It is the last destination. Rightfully more important than the other gods. ”

The fear of death is something that is inherent in every human being. Thinking of the darkness, coldness, pain, and eternal slumber that comes with death, it seems much more useful to believe in the Lord of the Underworld than to believe in the Sun and the God of Justice, and just by listening to the description, you know how powerful and important He is.

"The earth carries everything. The underworld also depends on it, and the earth is pregnant with life and death, and anyone who angers the mother earth goddess will suffer famine, earth movement, and mountain collapse. "Mother Earth priests terrorize believers.

Compared with the slumber after death, real life seems to be more important, especially the terrible famine that many people have experienced, which is as terrifying as the earthquake that destroyed the world, so that they dare not deviate from the belief of Mother Earth Goddess.

"The gods are the masters of the terrible lightning, which can kill every person and every god, and whoever disobeys him will be struck by lightning. ”

“...... If you turn your backs on the God of Storms, He will send down forty-nine days of continuous torrential rain, which will cause the seas to gush, and rivers to overflow, and mountains to be flooded, and the whole earth to be turned into a land of floods, and all living things will be destroyed. ”

Gradually, the priests used skillful intimidation methods to coerce people into faith, and the priests of God of Love and Wisdom could not contend with it, so they could only withdraw from the argument with a pale face.

They had little hope from the start, but they only shouted a few words of wisdom that would free people from suffering, and that love and reproduction could sustain the race.

For such a debate that whoever blows more will be stronger, without philosophical speculation, Francis seemed a little uncomfortable, he controlled the air fluctuations, and said to Lucien secretly: "Wait a minute, don't care if you anger the Lord of War, you can describe the great Elr as much as you want, which is what I call the circular theory of 'creation, control, destruction, and resurrection'." ”

"The Silver Moon has existed since the beginning of the worldly realm, never changing, symbolizing the immortality of life, expelling darkness, merging with darkness, and bringing peace of mind. Norbu said with sweat on his forehead, compared to intimidation, it seems that the moon god Asin is very different from other gods, which is what the god of fire and destruction is best at.

After one round, all the priests' eyes were focused on Lucien to see what might this god of resurrection, abundance, and redemption could do.

Lucien sat on the silver throne and said unhurriedly: "The alternation of the seasons and the rise and fall of the sun mean that things are born and destroyed, but they can be reborn after destruction, and my Lord is the God of Resurrection." ”

The priest of the sun god stared at him, is this the transformation of the sun into a phenomenon, and the resurrection down to the essence?

"Death is not the end, life will have a different destiny, according to what they have done in life, they will be judged justly, the good and the virtuous will be freed from the cycle of life and death, and will enter the holy place of our Lord and receive eternal happiness, the neutral, the ordinary, the good and the evil will once again become the spirit of life, fall into the mortal world, be born as a baby, and continue to suffer the joys and pains of life, while the evildoers, the despicable, will be punished in the underworld and suffer a long suffering. ”

"And whoever believes in our Lord and is willing to repent will be redeemed and become the first kind of people. ”

Such a theory had never been heard of by the believers below, and they were more willing to believe in the circular theory described by the young priest than the eternal darkness and coldness after death, which gave them hope in a life of pain and a touch of warmth, and that there was a way to salvation!

Francis felt more and more that Leviathan was talented, and that he could construct a fairly complete theological world system based on his deliberately simplistic circular theory, and secretly said in his heart: "There are talents in this backward alien space......

The face of the priest of the underworld suddenly darkened, and such a theory simply described his own god as a follower, subordinate, and vassal of the resurrected god.

In the face of such a system, Norbu, the priest of the moon god Asin, will be heartbroken, anyway, if you lose, everything will be over, it is better to use the help of alien myths to turn defeat into victory!

"You are all just gods of a specific duty in the operation of the world, and my Lord is the god who created the world and all things, the god of light and creation, and in the first darkness, it was He who split the tranquility and brought light, and fabricated the earth, all things, and living beings!" Nobu completely ignored Nena's face and threw out a version of the creation myth of the moon god.

At this moment, the priests of the other gods were stunned, they all claimed to be the creator god, how could they be above him, and they all recalled the myths related to their own gods to see if there were any similar rumors that could be borrowed.

Suddenly, the priest of the god of thunder and lightning, Ha Lu Ha Da Da Lang, laughed: "The moon god created the world and all things, but my lord will destroy everything, destroy the world and bring everything back to darkness, and only believers in Him can attain eternal peace." ”

He borrowed slightly from Lucian's theory of salvation.

With the beginning, the priest of the god of the sun and justice is not far behind: "My lord is the god who sustains the world and delays destruction......"

"My Lord is the first darkness, the first tranquility!" the priest of the Lord of the Underworld sneered at the devotees of the god of the moon, the god of thunder and lightning, the sun and the god of justice.

"Is this a theological debate? It's a braggart contest. Francis rubbed the corners of his forehead and sighed to Lucien secretly, "It's not what I'm good at, you can play it yourself." ”

Seeing that the four great gods had the upper hand, Lucien smiled indifferently and said: "This is just the creation, development and destruction of just a small world realm, and only the beginning of a small world realm, and such a small world realm can only constitute a middle world realm every three thousand, and three thousand middle world realms can constitute a great world realm, and the number of great world realms is as large as the sand in the Solna River, and the immeasurable land that contains so many great world realms is the creation of our lord." ”

"My Lord said that there would be immeasurable land, and there was immeasurable land. ”

"My Lord said there would be light, and there was light. ”

"When my lord speaks that he will destroy, he will be nothing. ”

Who is afraid of whom? (To be continued......)
