Chapter 521: Cooking Small Fresh and Painting Flatbread (7)
"Grandpa, Chairman Dou personally went to pick up Geng Jiangyue......"
On the edge of a small lake on the south campus of Tianjing University, Han Mingming sat on a low portable folding chair with a fishing rod in his hand.
Han Keyong sat on the sidelines, staring at the immobile fish drift on the lake, and hummed lightly.
Han Mingming was puzzled: "Aren't you curious what they say? The Bright God Cult settled in Sea Lion City, and in the future, it will be a large global organization with an organized and based base, and what about billions of followers around the world......"
"So what?" Han Keyong turned his head, glanced at Han Mingming, and said slowly, "Since the matter has already happened, what's the use of worrying about this? What do you think if the Illuminati Sect really has this or that mind, what can be the worst outcome?"
Han Keyong looked at the old man, thought for a moment, and asked weakly, "Global belief in God?"
"Alas...... How did you read this book?" Han Ke shook his head and sighed lightly, "What is the result of believing in God? One billion people in Donghua Kingdom believe in Tianxuan Orthodox Religion, more than four billion people on the plateau continent believe in nearly 200 religions, and the Rainforest Continent has its own natural god religion, what's wrong with believing in religion? Everyone doesn't live the same life, just believing in a religion, can it be regarded as a big problem?"
Han Mingming couldn't help but say, "Then why do you treat the Light God Sect like that...... That?"
"Why?" Han Ke raised the corners of his mouth, patiently guiding Han Mingming's train of thought, and asked, "Then let me ask you first, why do we never restrict our activities to the Tianxuan Orthodox Sect?"
Han Mingming replied as a matter of course: "From ancient times to the present, it has always been there, what is the restriction on it?...... Oh, I see, because the Cult of the Illuminati was created by man in recent times!"
"And then?"
And then ...... And then what?"
Han Mingming went from sudden realization to dazed, only less than ten seconds apart, he stared at Han Keyong with wide eyes, and saw that Han Keyong was speechless, and could only explain: "Human beings are social animals, and they can develop from a long natural evolution to the present, relying on collective strength. However, the collective thing seems to be easy to form, but it is very difficult to maintain stability.
In the earliest days, the most stable collective must be based on blood and kinship, but when the size of this group becomes larger, supported by blood and kinship, and the authority that directs the orderly division of labor of the collective, it is difficult to have a legitimate reason to lead the group. At this time, even if the collective collapses, it splits from one large collective to countless small collectives.
In terms of physical fitness, human beings are inferior to many animals, and in terms of survival ability, human beings are also very weak in the wild, and once the large collective becomes a small collective, the social nature of human beings will be weakened again, and survival will be more difficult. And those who survive are not stupid, and they will quickly understand the truth that there is great power in numbers. However, there is a question here, who listens to whom?
This problem cannot be solved, the small collectives are barely together, and in the end they still can't escape the fate of splitting, so at this time, leaving everything to the 'heavens' is the best arrangement. Whether it is religion or belief, in the final analysis, it is essentially just a human consensus and the greatest common divisor. Only with similar things can a collective not be easily divided, and only when small collectives and small collectives form larger and larger collectives can there be a legal basis and internal logic that is self-consistent.
After a long time, the theory of the greatest common divisor will naturally become more and more perfect, what can be done and what cannot be done, the teachings of many religions seem to be only about morality and ethics, and have nothing to do with local management and national politics, but it is precisely these morals and ethics that are essentially set for the purpose of maintaining collective stability, and to a certain extent, it is precisely because they are used as cultural soil that there is a national consensus and a national consensus.
Tianxuan Orthodoxy is the greatest common divisor of Donghua Kingdom, the Natural God Cult is the greatest common divisor of the Rainforest Continent, and the Light God Religion is the greatest common divisor of the Central and Southern Subcontinent Alliance, the Heber United Nations, and the Northern Ice Fields Alliance.
But now, the greatest common divisor of the Cult of Light is now out of control......"
Han Mingming listened very carefully and asked, "Why?
Han Keyong asked, "Have you read the book The History of Heber?"
Han Mingming said: "Roughly flip through the ......"
"Then you should at least know very well that the Cult of Light is just a young religion founded more than six hundred years ago, right? It should also be known that the founding background of the Cult of Light is that after the first invasion of phantom creatures, humans stopped using brainwave technology for hundreds of years, the spiritual power of human demon hunters was weakened on a large scale, and the Heber family gradually lost the ability to rule violently, and finally the family split, one group of people tried to restore the brainwave technology and find the foundation of military rule, and the other group of people hoped to stabilize the bottom of the country by pretending to be gods and ghosts, and then this is how to get the Cult of Light out, right?"
Han Mingming nodded: "Hmm...... It is taught in history classes at the university. ”
"So herein lies the problem. Han Ke sighed, "At the beginning, the Cult of Light was actually just an attempt by the Heber family to save their lives, hoping to rely on this new consensus to maintain the Heber Empire. But then you also know that the Heber Empire became the Heber United Nations, and the Heber royal family gradually became the current Thirteen Families along with their acolyte families. The Cult of Light did not save the Heber Empire, but brainwave technology did.
It's a pity that some things, even if they are brainwave technology, can't be unredeemed......
The new thirteen families have successively stepped onto the stage of Western history, and it has taken nearly two hundred years to go before and after, and in such a long time, the Bright God Cult is very popular among the common people at the bottom because of its combination with the secret techniques of the Heber family, such as [Illumination] and [Healing]. In this way, after nearly two hundred years of development, this religion has taken root at the bottom.
But at the same time, because it has taken root at the bottom, the Heber family's control over the Cult of Light is getting weaker and weaker. And finally, if you look at the world map now, it's divided into three branches. One group became the current Central and Southern Subcontinent Alliance, which was the most supportive of the combination of politics and religion, so it was the first to establish the country; the other went to the north and became the current Northern Ice Fields Alliance, because it did not agree with the Heber family's right to interpret the Cult of Light, but in terms of religious beliefs, it could not be seen as fanatical as the Central and Southern Subcontinent Alliance.
At this time, the Cult of Light was no longer the Cult of Light of the Heber family, but the Cult of Light of every believer of the Illuminati, in the words of Ma Zhongying, 'the purest religion in human history'. Such a cult of the Illuminati does not exist for the purpose of maintaining the collective, but for religion's sake. The purpose of their existence is simply to hope that all people in the world will believe in the same God as they do.
As for the purpose of believing in God, everyone who believes in the Illuminati religion has their own understanding.
Therefore, it is precisely because of this that one day, if this force is united, and once there is a voice that gives an explanation to all the problems, then then religion will become extremely dangerous, and everywhere they go, all those who meet them, must have only two choices, either they will be forced to convert or they will be destroyed......"
Han Mingming said: "But the Central and Southern Subcontinent Alliance, isn't it all founded? Why didn't you set up a base for the Bright God Sect at that time, why did you have to delay it until now?"
Han Keyong said very succinctly: "Three reasons. First, in the process of the founding of the country, the Heruni family only used the Cult of Light as a tool to realize their family ambitions, and after the founding of the country, the Central and Southern Subcontinent Alliance regarded itself as a democratic country, with high-level control of force and resources, and religion became a piece of toilet paper. The matter of believing in the Illuminati Cult only happened at the bottom of the Central and Southern Subcontinent Alliance. In order to prevent the Cult of the Illuminati from seizing power, the most fervent country has the strictest control over the establishment of fixed places of worship by the Cult of the Illuminati. At this point, the sea lion city is freer than them.
Secondly, the second one, the headquarters of the Illuminati Cult, is the headquarters of the world's cultists, and it is impossible for the Central and Southern Subcontinent Alliance to have the final say. If the South-Central Subcontinent Alliance declares its headquarters on their side, then there will certainly be other centers in the rest of the world, and if there are many centers, it will be the same as no center. After the second invasion of phantom creatures three hundred years ago, there was such a situation in the world, and everyone claimed to have saved the world, but then they were attacked by various governments one after another, and the matter of the establishment of the headquarters of the Cult of Light was also extinguished. Falcon City was the Holy City of the Light God Sect selected by those disciples within the Central and Southern Subcontinent Alliance at that time. ”
"Oh......" Han Mingming looked like he hadn't read a book, nodded suddenly, and asked again, "What about the third point?"
"The third point is this Falcon City. Han Keyong continued to lecture, "Soon after the second invasion of the Phantom Realm, the Global Demon Hunter Guild was formed. These demon hunters can not only kill monsters, but also heal, light, and even resurrection, and from the root, they have robbed the business of the Cult of Light.
Later, the world formed a demon hunter system, and the grassroots governance system of all countries in the world was slowly infiltrated by this system, and the power of the Cult of Light was never able to be exerted. In terms of some analysis on the Internet now, it is the Global Demon Hunter Guild that occupies the ecological niche that should belong to the Cult of Light. As long as the Global Demon Hunter Guild exists, the Cult of Light will not be able to become a climate. ”
Han Mingming said, "So now, as soon as the Global Demon Hunter Guild is disbanded, the Light God Sect can make a move?"
"It's not that simple, it's just one of the conditions. Han Ke said, "The Cult of Light threatens the world, and it still has to be said that the headquarters of the Cult of Light is set up. Over the past few hundred years, although the Cult of Light has lived a very hard life, the number of believers has remained very stable, so they have not been without their efforts. On the Butterflye continent, almost every community will have its own Illuminati Cult, with a pope in the order, a big pope in the big diocese, sacrifices, pastors, and deacons, and the hierarchy is very clear.
They did this in an attempt to form a whole, from the bottom up, but due to the control of governments around the world, the Cult of the Illuminati has always lacked a legitimate global leadership body, both internally and externally. As long as there is no such legitimate global leadership body, their scattered forces in various countries will always be scattered and unable to unite, and if they make any moves, they will soon be extinguished by the power of national governments.
On the other hand, governments around the world have gone to great lengths to prevent them from uniting. The Archpope of the Diocese of St. John Petersburg in the United Nations was appointed by the Heber family themselves. The archpope of the Union of the Central and Southern Subcontinents, whose surname is Heroney. As for the Northern Ice Alliance, they don't have an archpope at all......"
When Han Mingming heard this, he immediately turned his tune: "Then you're still afraid of a fart? Personnel power is in the hands of all governments, even if he is allowed to set up a headquarters, what waves can they make?"
"But here's the real core problem. Han Keyong said, pulled up the fishing rod, and found that the bait had been eaten, but he didn't even catch a hair, so he shook his head before he continued, "The Cult of Light has an election tradition. Once there is a headquarters, those candidates in the hands of the government will easily be selected, after all, believers are not stupid, and they are also very smart.
So what governments are afraid of is not the Cult of the Illuminati itself. What everyone fears is a powerful force composed of 8 billion believers, and this powerful force, their only program of action, is the voice of the unified world. What everyone fears is the destructive power of this religious wave of 8 billion people. ”
"The tide of the people can sweep all ......" Han Mingming whispered to himself thoughtfully, quoting Ma Zhongying's words.
Han Keyong nodded, and said, "But whoever survives in the end is the people." If the Cult of Light is integrated, it will be a big battle, and maybe the human race will kill itself before it is killed by the creatures of the Phantom Realm. ”
Han Mingming suddenly shook his head and said, "Then what now? Geng Jiangyue has agreed to settle down!"
"It shouldn't be......" Han Ke moved, "Geng Jiangyue just agreed to the landing of the Holy War Knight Battalion, and didn't say that the headquarters of the Bright God Sect would land, that was just Di Liger's words. And now, it's not without remedies. As long as Geng Jiangyue is willing to cooperate with the Donghua government, this flame should still be easily extinguished. ”
Han Mingming couldn't help asking, "How to snuff it out?"
"I don't know. Han Keyong shook his head, "But I'm sure they'll have something to do." ”
Han Mingming was puzzled: "Why are you so confident...... What about the wave of eight billion people......"
"Huh. Han Keyong smiled, "It's easy. With Donghua's state-owned resources, Geng Jiangyue has strength. In the face of the ruling class, which has mastered absolute productive forces and force, no matter how big the tide, it can only be wiped out. ”
