Chapter 227: The study is decided
Listening to Luo Ming's words, Aya couldn't help laughing: "Haha, it seems really right to say this, even if it is the strongest god...... Or any known powerful being cannot create energy out of thin air.
The gods are just a higher utilization of energy, they collect the power of faith, which is unavailable to mortals, efficiently transform it into their own divine power, and then send a part of this divine power back to the world as a divine magic, blessing, or miracle.
Just like cotton, it is almost impossible to match the quality of cotton cloth made by hand at home. A yarn mill buys a large amount of cotton, processes it into cotton cloth efficiently and quickly, and then sells it – a portion of the cotton is sold for more than the price of all the cotton, and the rest of the money is the profit of the mill. People do not feel that they are at a loss, but they are happy that they can buy cotton cloth that is cheaper and better than homespun cloth.
It's a special form of bargaining, and it's a win-win situation in a way—of course, we apostles know that this kind of thing is fine, but don't go out and say that it's better to say that it's going to cause a decline in the devotion of ordinary believers.
In short, Your Highness only needs your loyalty, and you don't need that kind of unnecessary fanaticism - fanatics are useful as ordinary warriors running into battle or carrying out suicide attacks, but their brains are often awkward and stiff, and it is difficult to take on heavy responsibilities.
That is to say, for the average believer, it is better to believe that God is great, almost omnipotent, that people take it for granted that they believe in them, and that they give magic and blessings are rare favors, and that they can give everything for God.
For you, faith is as simple as trusting your God on the right path to lead us to victory. It is perfectly permissible to point out God's mistakes once in a while as a remonstrance, and even to be meritorious. Just as mortal courtiers serve their own kings.
For example, 'a black cat and a white cat are good cats as long as they catch mice', and no matter what means they use, they can bring benefits to their own gods, and God does not alike such things, they are the most qualified apostles—of course, there are not many apostles like us who can think for themselves. Most of the apostles were actually completely crammed with fanatical beliefs, doing whatever God said, and being like marionettes. ”
After this tirade, Luo Ming finally put his mind at ease, but he still asked again: "Then as an apostle, I will at least put on a pious and holy appearance in front of the believers in the future, right?" Tell me a little more information about His Highness Black Sun, such as prayers or something, I can also practice in advance." ”
"Pose, you're making fun of me...... Well, however, it seems that there is a real need for this, so I will ask Your Highness for advice. ”
Just do it, I don't know what the principle, Aya immediately transmitted a complex encoded encrypted information to the lower realm.
Luo Ming shook the porcelain cup in his hand, although the spring water was sweet and cool, but after all, it was just water, and he was a little tired of drinking it - at this moment, Aya said that she had received a reply from His Highness the Black Sun.
"Hah...... Your Highness probably took one of your suggestions, and without my knowledge, you did such a great thing in a quiet way?
It's really worthy of His Highness......" Aya's voice was a little strange.
Luo Ming sank his consciousness inside, and saw a strange expression on her face.
"So, what did Your Highness do? Luo Ming asked curiously, "Does it have anything to do with what I just asked?"
"Of course there is...... Aya couldn't help but cough a few times before continuing, "Your Highness's power is unfathomable, and it is impossible to know exactly what it did, but I can confirm three things:
First, Your Highness has created a demigod called the 'God of Cleansing', probably thanks to your knowledge of hygiene brought from the earth, and the credit for this is already on your head anyway. ”
Just hearing this first thing, Luo Ming was stunned for a moment.
However, it is true that it is difficult to do this without oneself - although cleanliness is important, if it is not for the knowledge of hygiene that one brings from the earth, it is difficult for anyone to associate cleanliness with health and other important factors, and it is absolutely impossible to rise to the level of priesthood.
"So, what's the second thing?"
Aya said: "The second thing is that somehow, His Highness actually succeeded in falsifying all the information of the 'God of Cleansing', and made the goddess of spring water believe it to be true, and secretly announced that he accepted the God of Cleansing as his subordinate god. ”
Luo Ming pondered for a moment, and was not too surprised: "First of all, His Royal Highness is stronger than the goddess of spring water, this should be a fact, there is still a certain possibility for the strong to deceive and hide from the weak, pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger."
Besides, although the goddess of spring water is now on the verge of promotion and looks beautiful, the risks she has to face have also become very great, and at this time, she can't wait to borrow even the cat's paws, even if a big demon runs to her, she will probably accept it. ”
"I guess that's ...... the same," Aya sighed, "And the last thing, should I say honored, or do I feel tired and annoyed?"
"As an oracle, can you complain about your work so casually?" Luo Ming asked in surprise.
"Alas...... People don't know, they can't predict it. Of course, a person's destiny depends on self-struggle, but it is also necessary to take into account the course of history. ”
Aya suddenly began reciting a popular quote.
"What's wrong with you? Okay, don't recite famous words. Luo Ming had just said this habitually, but he immediately thought of what followed this sentence, "...... Wouldn't it?!"
"That's it, no. Aya angrily continued to quote the famous words of the earth to explain her own almost speechless and choked emotions, "I said that I would ask for another wisdom, but His Highness himself could not spare time, and the other apostles also studied and decided, so they put the matter on my head."
Now, this girl is the acting god of cleansing...... Speaking of which, it seems that you Luo Ming still have a share of credit?"
Her tone became unkind: "Look at your bad idea, what did you say at the beginning to see if I can take on the responsibility of a demigod, but now it's okay, you crow's mouth has made this come true!"
always felt that if it weren't for the fact that she only had her soul living in her body, and her soul had been weakened, she would definitely beat herself up...... Luo Ming couldn't help but sweat.
