Volume 7 Chapter 57 Mind Control and Enjoyment
Harpy, alas, what should you and I, the Pope, do every day?
After Sean had successfully absorbed the Divine Scepter into his body like an ancient artifact, he realized that he had been here for a whole few months
During this time, in addition to receiving some cardinal archbishops from afar every day, he devoted all his heart and soul to the "sacrifice" of the sacred scepter. Now that this work has been completed, it is natural that there are other plans in mind.
Harpy thought about it for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, in these small matters, you can pray to His Majesty Odinrah, or you can go around to inspect Your Majesty's kingdom, and you can hold a grand sacrifice to the gods to please the gods......"
Sean listened quietly for a while, it seems that there are a lot of things that this pope can do, but in other words, if he doesn't want to do it, then he can also be lazy, and no one will blame him for doing nothing.
After living here for a few months, Sean has more or less learned something.
In the kingdom of God, there is never a shortage of clothing and food, and all believers need not worry about these most basic daily necessities.
Due to the large number of people, the only thing that the vast majority of people have to do every day is to pray and listen to the gods, except for a few people who have a certain amount of simple work.
Unless it is a metaphor from the gods, not many people will take the initiative to do it.
After observing for a few months, Sean's only feeling was that this country with great power was also a country that operated like a machine.
Everything is running as if it were programmed. There was no deviation from the ground.
But. To Sean's puzzlement, yes. Why can these people endure loneliness? What about praying earnestly for countless years? This seems unlikely.
Pondered for a moment. Sean asked cryptically, "Harpy." How many years have you been a cardinal. ”
Harpy was stunned. He pondered for a long time. Said: "Probably tens of thousands of years. ”
Sean blinked. I was really shocked in my heart.
"Tens of thousands of years of cardinal archbishops. Don't you think about it any further?"
Harpy's face suddenly showed a sincere expression of fear, and he said, "Your Majesty the Great Pope, Your Majesty the God King can testify, and I have absolutely no second thoughts about your loyalty. ”
Sean waved his hand, reassured, and said, "I don't doubt your loyalty, I just want to know how long those cardinal archbishops usually hold office." ”
Harpy sighed with a sigh of relief, and said: "When every new district appears, the first cardinal archbishop is usually personally appointed by His Majesty the God King, and after serving as the archbishop for 100,000 years, they will resign from their public office and enter the temple to serve as the elder oracle, as for their heir, you need to appoint it." ”
"I'm here to appoint?" Sean was stunned and asked, "Where am I going to find someone like this?"
Harpy smiled and explained: "Before they leave office, they will report the names of suitable people, and you can choose one of them, or you can choose someone you like, or you can appoint it at will." After a pause, Harpy sighed and added, "Of course, in addition to the first generation of cardinal archbishops, you also have the right to change the position of cardinal archbishop of each district at any time. ”
Sean really changed color slightly this time, and he didn't expect the power of the Pope to be so great. In this way, in addition to the first generation of cardinal archbishops could not grasp, he is already the second master in this kingdom of gods after His Majesty the God King.
This is the real authority, the authority over almost all the partitions.
No wonder the archbishops rushed to the Pope as soon as they heard of the pope's appearance. Maybe in their hearts, there is also a certain desire to please.
Suddenly remembering something, Sean asked, "How many elder-level envoys are there in the temple?"
"I don't know. Harpy sighed and said with a wry smile: "The number of cardinal archbishops in the past is already countless, but at least it must be more than billions." ”
Sean nodded deeply, this is the great power in the kingdom of God, far more powerful than the 100,000 cardinal archbishops.
"So, what about the Pope?" Sean looked at Harpy and asked in a condensed voice, "Where will the popes go after they leave office?"
"Successive popes have been taken away by His Majesty Odin Lach after they leave office. Harpy sighed with envy, and if it was possible, he would rather give up everything than follow him.
"Where does His Majesty Odinrah live?" asked Sean, raising his eyebrows.
"Your Majesty dwells in the endless firmament. ”
"Why haven't I seen it?"
"His Majesty's palace roams his kingdom in the heavens, and there is no fixed place, and if he wants to see you, he will naturally appear in front of you. ”
"Okay. / Sean nodded, this is also the prerogative of the god-king: "Tell me, how long is the term of office of the successive popes?"
"This ......" Harpy frowned slightly, and said, "There is no fixed deadline for this, and the one who has served as the pope for the shortest time has only taken two hundred years to get the approval of His Majesty the God King and enter the territory of the God King. And the one who took the longest time is said to have taken millions of years to be lured away by the God King. ”
Sean greeted him slightly, waved his hand casually, and Harpy suddenly bowed half-bent down and left respectfully.
However, after this conversation, Sean also had a general understanding of the affairs of His Majesty the God King. It's just that now, Sean still can't understand why he chose himself to be his pope.
After thinking for a while, Sean finally stood up and left the room for the first time.
After absorbing the Divine Scepter, Sean also has a deep understanding of the energy of pure light. At this moment, outside, I immediately sensed the surging power of faith and the pure light energy of the earth converging somewhere in the distance.
Such a huge change in energy is definitely not an ordinary situation, Sean's mind moved, and his body had turned into a bolt of lightning, rushing in that direction like flying.
Soon he had already arrived at that place, and after a closer look, it dawned on him.
It turned out to be a huge square, on which at least tens of thousands of people gathered, sitting on the ground in an orderly manner, and praying sincerely under the leadership of a priest dressed in white robes.
The whole square reverberated with their unrelenting chanting, and at this moment, they had given all their hearts and minds to His Majesty the great God King Odinrah.
Sean sat quietly in a corner, and did not arouse anyone
This is of course because of the lightness of his movements, but also because the people here are attentive and have no time to be distracted.
Soon the power of faith in the square became more and more strong, and Sean passed the scepter to manifest, and the people here had already put all their thoughts into it, as if he had seen the divine scepter at the beginning, without the slightest distraction.
In this case, it is natural to be able to stir up the most powerful power of faith to please the gods.
Slowly, when the power of faith was condensed to a certain level, a huge light suddenly shone from the void sky.
This light swayed down like flowing water, and the stars fell on everyone, even Sean shared a part of it without exception.
When the starlight touched Sean's body, he couldn't help but take a long breath.
A feeling of extreme comfort and happiness instantly permeated his body, and Sean's spirit seemed to be trapped in a dreamlike realm, in which his spirit was incomparably satisfied.
What hometown planet, what father, son, relatives and friends, what troll gods, what gods made big 6, all seemed to be far away from him at this moment. He would rather be in this dreamlike state forever than pursue anything else.
Because in this state, everything he wants to pursue has already obtained psychological satisfaction, so why should he work harder?
Just when Sean was in a daze, a voice called anxiously from the bottom of his heart.
Sean's brows furrowed, what kind of person was so ignorant that he dared to disturb him at this time.
However, this voice seemed to be more familiar, and he subconsciously turned his head and saw a slender figure, which seemed to be more and more familiar.
But what is it?
A little doubt was like a small stone thrown into the water, and it made a circle of ripples visible to the naked eye, and spread out in all directions.
Sean's eyes slowly gained focus, and his sloppy eyes began to slowly gather.
Julianna ......
It suddenly occurred to him that this was Juliana.
Then, a cold sweat flowed down like a fountain, and Sean's heart was flooded with the most drastic sense of crisis.
These points of light turned out to be a kind of spiritual energy that made people fall into extreme pleasure. And when he was not the slightest defense, he was unknowingly hit.
"The host, the host ......"
A hurried shout sounded in his head, and Sean looked at it and realized that this slender figure was not Juliana, but a phantom transformed from No. 1.
He secretly screamed in his heart with shame, if it wasn't for the first awakening, he would still be immersed in that kind of joyful spiritual magic at this moment.
"What's wrong?" asked Sean, as calm as he could.
Naturally, No. 1 couldn't understand the complex minds of human beings, and she said as if asking for credit: "Master, I have revealed a secret. ”
"What's the secret?"
"When these people pray, they generate the power of faith, and the space here automatically dissolves and absorbs it, turning it into a strange energy. ”
Sean was stunned, rolled his eyes widely, and asked, "This is your secret?"
"yes.
”
Sean opened his mouth helplessly, forget it, this guy doesn't care if he wakes himself up.
Unexpectedly, before Sean could speak, Number One added: "Master, after my calculations, the space here collects the power of faith and converts about thirty percent of the energy into pure light energy to give back to all the believers in the square who have prayed. ”
Sean's expression was suddenly stunned, and vaguely, he seemed to grasp an extremely important matter, but this thought flashed through his mind like a flash in the pan, so that he didn't have time to think about it at all.
One didn't notice Sean's strangeness, but continued: "Master, you really deserve to be a privileged pope, everyone else has to pay a lot of faith to get thirty percent of the feedback, but you don't pay a little faith power, but you get much more light energy than anyone else." ”
Sean suddenly opened his eyes, the time just now seemed to be very long, but in fact, it was only a moment.
When Sean opened his eyes and looked around, the seemingly endless starlight was still shining on everyone's body.
Sean's gaze looked over the faces of these people, and he could clearly see their expressions of extreme joy, and a thought gradually came to life in Sean's mind.
He finally understood something, something that was unimaginable before.
Faith is a process of accumulation.
In order to gain the power of faith, it is necessary to have believers, and these believers have to keep giving in order to accumulate a huge amount of faith power.
However, for these believers, there are very few people who can really believe in a certain god without caring about everything.
Unless there is a certain benefit, no one can give their faith to another living being forever. Even if the creature is a great deity, it can't.
Those who can come to the kingdom of God are naturally the most devout candidates in the nether realm.
In the kingdom of God, they were able to live without food and clothing, without old age or death, without illness or disaster. This kind of life can be achieved only by paying constant faith, so it is really a dream for people in the lower realm.
Therefore, those who come up from the beginning will surely be uncomplaining and unrepentant, and will do their best to pray and worship the gods.
But human nature is inertia, and this inertia is not just for people, but for the whole biological world.
If they get used to inertia, then they will think that this is all they deserve to be enjoyed. Therefore, after a certain period of time, the generation of this power of faith will definitely be greatly reduced, and all believers will definitely slack off.
However, according to Sean's observations, although the core believers here do not know how long they have existed, none of them from top to bottom have the slightest bit of fatigue when praying and worshipping the gods.
It seems that all of them regard the power of faith in the gods as the first element of their lives.
This situation is a complete subversion of the innate inertia of human nature, and there may be one or two cases by chance, but it can never be the case for all.
Sean was puzzled by this, thinking that it was some special ability of the gods. But after the light of the stars, Sean finally understood the reason.
believer
The power of faith, the god king of Odin Lach did not collect all of it, but the power of faith generated, and transformed a fixed proportion of it into a spiritual enjoyment that went straight to heaven.
Sean has also tasted this taste before, and he can be sure that this spiritual enjoyment is absolutely supreme.
In the world he lived in before, there were similar psychotropic drugs, most of which had a collective name, that is, drugs.
But drugs are nothing compared to the spiritual pleasures of the gods.
It is precisely because of this incomparable spiritual enjoyment that the gods have painstakingly crafted that they will tie everyone to his chariot forever.
Because all believers know that if they want to attain this extreme enjoyment that transcends everything, then sincere prayer will be their only option.
And this 30 percent spiritual enjoyment is not just for believers to enjoy. While they are enjoying themselves, the divine power of pure light is also improving their physique bit by bit. With the accumulation of time, even the most ordinary and unqualified human can accumulate to the level of charism equivalent to the cardinal archbishop.
If such people are sent to the battlefield and use their devout beliefs and the charismatic energy condensed in their bodies to make a human bomb, it will be the cheapest and most expensive weapon in the world.
After figuring this out, Sean's heart was faintly cold at the same time, and he was also very glad that he had this experience as a pope. He had to inform the troll god that he couldn't do it all when it came to exploiting the believers, and that he had to be like this god to be truly lasting.
Gradually, the light in many believers dissipated and eventually disappeared. There was a color of extreme satisfaction and longing in the eyes of all of them. 6 They continued to leave, but one of them suddenly saw Sean, and he was stunned, and then immediately bowed down and saluted respectfully.
Although Sean was undoubtedly dressed like them, and he was not wearing clothes with obvious papal logos, his appearance did not change at all, so there was a good chance that he would be recognized.
With the bow of this first person, it immediately attracted everyone's attention, and when they saw Sean's face clearly, not only these believers, but even the white-clothed priest who presided over the prayer knelt down in great fear.
Sean was slightly stunned, but he was also a character who had experienced big scenes, and he was also the driving force behind the five million people who had personally directed the sacrifice to the gods, so there was no stage fright for these people to bow down.
He stepped forward, took the hand of the white-clothed priest, and said a few words of encouragement.
Of course, when he spoke, he mobilized the divine scepter in his body and the energy of the demigod realm cultivation light jellyfish at the same time. Although the combined energy of these two is far less than that of the gods, it is more than enough to suppress the field.
After listening to Sean's encouragement, sensing the terrifying pure light energy around Sean's body that was so powerful that it had no bounds, everyone was very excited.
This is a pope, a pope that they rarely meet once in their lives.
Sean's gaze swept away, the intensity of the energy emitted from these new paths was uneven, some were not much, but some were terrifying.
He could clearly sense that three of the old men, who did not know each other, were also looking at him with the same blazing eyes full of fanatical emotions.
And the energy intensity of these three old men is no longer even under those cardinal archbishops!
Heritage, this is the heritage accumulated over a long period of time, Sean looked at all these devout believers in front of him, and sighed with great emotion in his heart, if all this really belongs to me, it would be great.
The crowd in front of him seemed to be getting more and more, Sean immediately made a decision, and said nonsense in his heart, "May the God King bless you." ”
As soon as these words fell, a little light suddenly appeared in the sky again.
After seeing this familiar scene, including the white-robed priest, they all wondered with joy.
Then, these points of light poured down again, plunging the group of people who were almost crazy into great pleasure.
Sean's face was faintly pale, and he said casually, how could it be so powerful? This is absolutely impossible, is everything about himself under the gaze of the God King.
He turned around and hurried away while the men were enjoying the light and couldn't help themselves.
With Sean's ability, it was naturally impossible for people to show his traces, and it didn't take long for him to return to his palace.
Several maids were already waiting beside him, and immediately stepped forward to remove his cloak and offer him a warm wet towel and the most comfortable shoes.
Sean glanced at these extremely beautiful girls a few times, and knew that this pope was not taboo in certain aspects, and looking at them, it was also a posture of love and me.
But at this moment, where did Sean still have such thoughts, he shook his head slightly, and said, "You all go down."
”
Seeing that Sean's mood didn't seem to be too much, the maids immediately bowed down and retreated, and walked away in an instant, leaving Sean alone in the huge room.
After a long and long silence with a calm face, Sean finally made a decision, he took out the divine scepter, and used it as a guide to start asking the god king Odin Rach to get in touch.
Ever since he became the God-King, Sean had not once prayed to the great god, and he was quietly waiting, because he did not believe that there was love for no reason in this world. Since the God-King had given him so much power, there was definitely something that needed to be exchanged.
He was waiting for the God-King to summon him, but for months, God-King Odin Rach had been slim and had not heard from him.
He can't afford to put off such a situation, people have lived for countless billions of years, and he doesn't care about this little time, but Sean is different after all.
Wisps of spiritual thought passed through the sacred scepter and reached some mysterious space.
But at this moment, Sean's face changed very subtly, with his city, after sensing a certain energy and coming into contact with it, he would be so out of shape.
In fact, he was not shocked by the other party's great energy, because no matter how strong His Majesty the God King was, it would not surprise Sean at all. However, the moment he came into contact with His Majesty's breath of the God King, he had an extremely strange feeling.
This energy fluctuation is too similar......
:Today, Monday and Friday_
Tomorrow will be the same.
