Chapter 240: Contact
To be honest, Luo Ming only said a few words to Liana before, and now he naturally can't recognize that this "Yaliana" is different from the past.
Not to mention the others, most of Liana's acquaintances have been killed or sold elsewhere, and no one cares what kind of person this Ariana used to be.
Besides, the two have unified their voices and confessed to each other, saying that one of Ariana's ancestors became a demigod, and they inspired her through blood connections.
It is not uncommon to get divine inspiration and realize that the personality has changed drastically, at least everyone has heard such a saying when they listen to heroic legends on weekdays.
Leslo, the dragon slayer brave 300 years ago, used to be a genuine mountain king who robbed houses and houses, and was famous for being able to cut off a bull with an axe; the "Green Shadow Hero" who stole a cult relic 500 years ago and bankrupted their plot was actually a professional thief who had been employed by the nobles for a long time, and when the nobles saw something of art and the owner refused to sell it, they would ask this "hero" to steal it directly.
At least now Ariana seems to be a relatively standard pious clergyman.
The so-called standard piety means that all the purposes of acting are for the glory of God, and there is no copper plate at all to do with meritorious service and commendation, and even self-sacrifice.
Miss Hills, who believed in the goddess of agriculture, was not afraid of bloodshed when necessary, but her criterion was that "sacrifice for the sake of the gods can become a model of church propaganda, and it is a great achievement, and you can receive rewards and preferential treatment when you go to heaven."
In fact, most pastors are somewhere in between, and while they are loyal to the gods, they also want to be honored by the gods for their meritorious deeds.
People like Shears, if used well, can do great things and greatly benefit the church and the gods, and if they are not used well, they can go wrong and become a disaster.
And people like Ariana, who completely disregard herself and devote herself wholeheartedly to the cause of the gods, are generally only called fanatics, and most of them are used as death squads.
But if this kind of completely selfless fanatical believer is combined with enough sanity, it is a person who is valued by any church, enough to be the real pillar and backbone of the church.
Because they have no selfishness, they will not betray, they are the most able to take care of the overall situation, and they have the most firm position. They will not be rash and will not engage in political struggles because of contradictions between individuals.
If the god of cleansing is really a newly debuted demigod, then he has really picked up a treasure - such a talent is certainly worth spending divine power to inspire. There are also countless princes in the mortal world who are willing to pay a lot of money to invite such a person to be their retainer.
But Luo Ming couldn't be clearer, the position of the so-called god of cleanliness itself was fabricated out of thin air by His Highness the Black Sun, and Aya was in charge of all the power of this "demigod", and Yaliana was originally her own doppelganger, of course, she could be loyal.
Moreover, Ariana was able to comprehend the will of Aya and even His Highness the Black Sun perfectly, which was equivalent to being able to talk directly to the gods every day - what church leader in the world has such good treatment?
Ordinary gods spend a lot of divine power every time they issue an oracle, and most of the divine power reserves have to be used to prevent emergencies - such as the attack of evil gods, so the gods will not pass down an oracle for every trivial matter, and must carefully control the cost, and only use the oracle to convey a few major things briefly.
Speaking of which, Luo Ming admired the great power of His Highness the Black Sun: if there were many benefits to sending a doppelganger down to be the head of the church, why didn't the other gods follow suit?
The answer is actually very simple: if you don't want to, you can't.
The reason why the human world is called the human world is not without reason, and the human environment is actually very unfriendly to powerful beings.
The strength mentioned here is not just a great swordsman or a legend or anything, but a demigod as the dividing line.
If a powerful being above the demigod wants to enter the human world, it will endure a huge repulsion, and every move will be much more laborious.
To use an analogy, it's like letting a Russian go to the tropics to live.
If you wreak havoc, change the terrain and kill millions of people in battle...... The repulsion force will be dozens of hundreds of times stronger, and it may even be thundered by the sky - just like the people who were originally on land soaked in the sea, they must keep splashing in the water every moment so that they will not sink, and the cold sea water is constantly robbing people of the heat on people, even the strongest people have to swim ashore to rest for a while, otherwise they will run out of strength and sink to drown.
In general, this is the will of the world.
Although I don't know the specific principle, there seems to be a relatively stable order in the territory of the world today, with many mortal kingdoms, the alliance of gods in the sky, and even the operation of the world, all of which are part of this order—if you want to disturb this order, you will suffer from the backlash of this entire order.
The doppelganger of the gods, if it is too strong, will suffer a huge repulsion when it runs into the human world, and waste a lot of power for no reason.
If it's too weak, it's just a strong mortal, although the repulsion is almost none, but the danger is much greater - no matter how weak it is, it's also a doppelganger of a god, with a trace of divine immortality, if a mortal can grab it, it will be a huge gain, and it may even realize a legend and even a trace of mystery in the realm of gods.
Even if ordinary mortal powerhouses would be afraid of the majesty of the gods and dare not attack these weak clones casually, the people of other churches, even cultists, would not have so many scruples.
It may be possible to send a weaker divine envoy down to the earth as a spokesman for the gods, but there is still one problem that has not been solved, and that is the problem of communication.
There are many ways to transmit information remotely, but the least costly and most effective ones are the mysterious connection between the doppelganger and the ontology.
But there is a limit to this connection, and if it spans an entire plane, it will become very weak, or even temporarily cut off, unless a strong person like the gods can maintain this connection.
The divine envoy could not rely on the connection between the doppelganger and the body to transmit information to the divine kingdom of the upper realm, which sealed the last way.
His Highness the Black Sun was able to make Aya, the acting god, communicate directly with Ariana, the doppelganger as a priest, without expulsion or high cost problems, which made Luo Ming awe-inspired.
