Chapter 205: Its Life is Renewed
"Or, in the words of your hometown, it should be called to be ordained by heaven?" Aya said, "Your Highness is much more generous than those ordinary divine powers of kingship." ”
This is indeed something that shocked Luo Ming.
Although he lived in a place that called itself an atheistic country in his previous life, how could the thousands of years of Celestial Empire tradition disappear completely in a few decades?
"Ordered by Heaven" - this is one of the theories that have maintained the Celestial Empire for thousands of years and once it has been divided and reunited, even if it is divided, it will be unified again.
This theory was borrowed by Japan next door, and it developed a big killer weapon such as "National Shinto". Not to mention how many heinous crimes have been committed, but the power brought is genuine.
So many Japanese shouted "Long live the emperor" to charge, and if they failed, they shouted "Long live the emperor" to commit suicide, which is really a terrifying force, and the American emperor is faintly frightened.
The reason for this is that they believe that the emperor is a living god and that if he dies in battle, he can ascend to heaven and enjoy the blessings of the heroic spirits, and every year the national government personally worships these "heroic spirits."
On the earth, whether ghosts and gods exist or not, at least they are impossible to manifest, the Holy Son is still about to be crucified, Lao Tzu can only sigh and avoid in the troubled times, and Shakya's hometown is only crying and sighing when it is slaughtered.
Without divine art, without the obvious sanctity of God, then religion on earth is destined to decay and backward.
Even so, these two theories have allowed the Celestial Empire and Japan to exert great power.
At the time of the Three Kings of Antiquity, on the day of Yao Shunyu Soup, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States and even the Qin and Han Dynasties - how many people of the Celestial Dynasty claimed to be the people of the gods, slaughtered, expelled, and assimilated the barbarians, shouted the slogan of the blessing of the Emperor of Heaven, expanded the territory for millions of kilometers, spread the clothes and words throughout the land of Kyushu, and finally condensed the monster dynasty like the Qin and Han dynasties.
And if His Highness the Black Sun crowns himself, this is a genuine order from heaven, and there is no need to find a wizard to pretend to be a god and a ghost, and there is no need for a group of ceremonial officials to formulate all kinds of cumbersome rituals as proof.
As for whether this "sky" is genuine? Luo Ming didn't care at all.
In the pre-Qin era, there were hundreds of races, dozens of cultures and languages on the territory of the later Celestial Empire, and naturally there were thousands of different beliefs.
However, the concept of "Emperor of Heaven", which has existed since the beginning of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, has been passed down in a commensurate line by the later Yao Shunyu Tang and even Zhou Tianzi.
With the expansion of the Celestial Empire, other beliefs were crushed one by one, and in the end, the Han people who believed in the Emperor of Heaven won to the end, and the Emperor became the true supreme god of the whole territory of China, and the rest of the gods in the faith, some became the pseudonyms of the Emperor of Heaven or the courtiers of the Emperor of Heaven, and some became demons and died.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion, the White Lotus Sect in later generations, and those great monks...... In short, they have been educated by the iron fist of the emperor's dictatorship, and those who kneel can live, and those who do not obey the emperor will die, who calls the emperor the son of the emperor.
In the same way, His Highness the Black Sun himself is unfathomable, and even Aya, an apostle, has no respect when he talks about some minor gods who are not strong.
Then, if he has achieved excellent results on the land of the world, then His Highness the Black Sun has enough foundation of believers in the world, and he can appear in a grand manner, and then insert himself strongly into the gods, retreating as the overlord of one side, and advancing as the king of the gods!
Still, Luo Ming still has a question about one of them.
"Commanded by Heaven...... There is a big difference between it and the divine right of kings, and I still understand it. Is Your Highness really willing to do this?"
Ordered by the sky, it is a genuine ****.
The ruler is nominally the son of the supreme god, the god of the world, who has obtained the "mandate of heaven" and has the right to rule over everything on behalf of the heavens, as long as he does not betray the gods, he can not only rule over all mundane affairs, but also have absolute dominion over the church.
Except for the things that the Supreme God himself issued an oracle against, everything he did was sacred, and it was in the interests of the gods—he himself was a god.
Nowadays, however, the kingdoms have basically a system of divine authority of kingship—the king claims to be a descendant of a certain god or a person favored by a certain god, and that god recognizes his status as a king, and that's it.
As for the church...... Basically, even if they are the number one independent princes in the country, they will do their best for the country only when it is in the interests of the church and the gods, otherwise even if the king is recruited, they will only give a few percent of their efforts, or they will simply disobey the yin and the yin.
Sometimes the king is cowardly or the king's power is declining, and he will be used as a puppet by the church, or he will be reprimanded and humiliated in a grand manner.
For the gods, the church always comes first.
When the gods gave orders, the secular nobles rarely resisted directly, but there were not too many who disobeyed or retained their strength, and sometimes even led wolves into the house - attracting another god to replace the original local god.
Only the church is truly full of people who can abandon their families and children to fight for God.
If His Highness Black Sun really plays a "mandated by the sky" in the future, it will be to put the foundation of the church in Luo Ming's hands for safekeeping......
It's a scary thing. Although this can be said to be the supreme trust, it is enough to make people sweat in a cold sweat to bear this trust.
After all, this matter is still out of reach, Luo Ming now has only one knight leader, and he is still a hundred times away from the entire Brandon City, so he also put down some heavy thoughts and made a joke.
Did you know that Lucifer in the legend is known as the Dawnbreaker, the archangel who is second only to Jehovah's glory, and leads an army of angels.
But he refused to obey the Son, did not want to bow to the Son, and was reprimanded, so he rebelled. He enveloped a third of the angels and nearly tore the kingdom of heaven apart.
Later, although he was defeated, he was still not killed, and fled to hell with a large number of angels, and continued his struggle against Yahweh as demons. ”
"I can see why His Highness the Black Sun trusts you so much...... I dare to say this kind of heart-wrenching words. Aya smiled bitterly, "But His Highness the Black Sun really doesn't care about this, and he doesn't care about 'that' either." ”
"Huh?" Luo Ming's mind was full of questions.
"Lucifer disobeys the Son, but you are as important as the Son in our plans, and only others disobey you.
Moreover, His Highness did not disdain the situation in which the church and the royal power were fighting each other and intriguing with each other. Inspired by you, Your Highness has also thought a lot and will definitely be able to solve this problem. ”
As she spoke, Aya said proudly: "Although Your Highness is an ancient existence, his ambition is a great innovation - just like the saying in your hometown: Although Zhou is an old state, its life is renewed!"
