Chapter 428: Ocean God Cult
After a series of tortures. Ah no, talking, Ji Chen gradually got a little bit of understanding about this little little guy called Nola.
His real name is Nora, the lower god, the god is the god of starlight, and the power of control is the starlight power of seventy lower powers.
It itself is a race that can live in the void by nature, called the Void Elves, but apart from the fact that its name is related to the Elves, it has nothing to do with the Elves in the Overworld.
However, it is still a god who belongs to the camp of order.
"Your power was sealed by a dark god called the Strange Lord, and in order to escape, you had to take the initiative to fall from the void into the Overworld to escape, and then be chased and killed by those black beasts?"
"Yes, the Lord of Weirdness is a dark god with good strength among the mid-rank gods, and his power [weird] ranks twentieth among the mid-rank powers!"
Nora nodded, looked at Ji Chen, and added, "Of course, this is definitely not as good as your [Thunder] power." β
Ji Chen nodded, his face became serious, "What I'm more interested in now is, does the Guardian Spirit know about the invasion of demons in the main world?" β
"Of course, I know, the prayers of the believers have long been known to the great gods." Nora sighed heavily, "But we have no way to respond and interfere, we can only watch." β
Ji Chen's pupils shrank suddenly, which was undoubtedly in line with his previous conjecture through the information provided by Leneker, Ladifa, and others.
That is, the gods of order are not unaware of what is happening in the Overworld, but they are unable to do anything about it.
"Are you haunted by dark spirits?"
Nora looked at Ji Chen with some surprise, "It seems that you still know a lot?" β
Ji Chen shook his head, "I don't know, it's just a bold guess based on some information, whether it is an elf or a church, there is no way to get the oracle and reply of the gods they believe in, and watching the minions of the dark gods wreak havoc on the earth, slaughtering the believers they depend on for survival, thinking about it, there is only this possibility." β
Nora nodded in appreciation: "Not bad inference, it's really not bad, but if you want to explain this matter clearly, you have to talk about the last god war." β
"You should know that hundreds of thousands of years ago, the dark gods were defeated in the divine war and were suppressed by the gods of order in the abyss of chaos, right?"
"Of course, I know."
"As long as there are believers and beliefs, then the gods are almost immortal, even if they are killed, as long as the gods remain, they can rely on the believers' faith power to be reborn."
Nora spoke eloquently, looking like a party concerned, "The same is true of the dark gods, although the divine war was won by the orderly side, but there are still a large number of evil believers on the earth, and after the instruction of the dark gods, after the defeat of the god war, they will be reduced to pieces to avoid liquidation, so that they will have a chance to make a comeback." β
"But most mortal spirits don't know that the Chaos Abyss is actually a special space in the void with an extremely harsh environment, full of disorderly chaotic energy, even if it is not harmful to the gods, and the gods and souls will gradually decay if they are contaminated for a long time, which is why the gods of order unanimously agreed to lock those dark gods there, let their souls decay, and achieve the goal of complete annihilation."
Ji Chen nodded suddenly, it turned out that there was such a doorway in the Chaos Abyss, but then he asked suspiciously.
"After hundreds of thousands of years, how can the dark gods still haunt the order gods in turn?"
"The dark gods seem to have mastered the way to protect themselves from the chaotic energy, not only did they not decay, but they became much stronger, and then they collectively attacked."
Nola's face was full of indignation and said: "Who would have thought that they would be so insidious, that they could endure more than 100,000 years without making the slightest movement, and then suddenly rush out while one of us is not paying attention, it is really despicable!" β
In fact, the energy of the Chaos Abyss can not only damage the divine body and soul, but also isolate the prying eyes of the gods, which makes it impossible for the orderly gods who are guarding outside to clearly know what is happening inside.
They could only vaguely feel that those dark gods were becoming more and more "weak" as time passed, and they were naturally overjoyed, and their vigilance relaxed.
The number of vigilant gods on duty was reduced, and finally the enemy broke through the suppression with the weak dark gods.
Ji Chen pursed his lips, but he didn't expect it to be because of this reason, he didn't know whether to say the tenacity of the dark gods in desperate situations, or the arrogance of the gods of order.
It seems that the so-called gods are not without seven emotions and six desires, but also have characteristics similar to mortal spirits, such as the shameful star god in front of him is an excellent example.
Feeling Ji Chen's somewhat offensive gaze, Nora waved her fist angrily, "Human, what kind of eyes are you, don't think that you can be so rude in front of a god if you hit the luck and get the power of thunder!" β
Ji Chen pursed his lips and said, "A god without power can also be called a god?" β
Nola's face froze, and she decided to swallow her anger for the time being.
When she regains her powers, she must let this human know what the gap between gods and mortals is!
Hmph, bear with it now, let this human with decent strength help her find some believers to provide the power of faith, and it is the right thing to lift the power seal as soon as possible to restore her strength.
After thinking about it, Nora quickly straightened her mind and smiled.
"Well, I'm just a small lower god, not as good as the great gods of Iluvita."
βIlluvita.
Ji Chen's spirits perked up, he already had many questions in his heart about this famous god, but this was obviously not the time to ask.
"Now let's go back to my territory and talk about the future."
Ji Chen returned to the crown of the ocean with this mortal god, but he did not use the storm power to hurry away, nor did he show any other powers other than the thunder power.
Prevention is indispensable, and hidden power is the best way to deal with emergencies.
With three powers, he still has a certain grasp of suppression for a god who has been sealed with power and has been injured, leaving his body strength.
Nora had the idea of restoring his strength with his hand, so why hadn't he had the idea of getting more information about the Orderly Spirit, Iluvita, from him?
It's just a matter of using each other.
Humans and gods come after each other, each with different intentions.
Soon, the Crescent Islands came into view, and Nora looked at the busy crown of the ocean with a little curiosity in her eyes.
Her race is the Void Elves, who have lived in the Void since she was a child, and rarely come to the Overworld, and have hardly been there in the hundred years since the Dark Gods broke the seal.
A hundred years is enough time to bring about a lot of changes in the main world, the change of dynasties, the collapse of empires, and the emergence of a prosperous settlement in the vast middle ocean is not unusual.
But it's just a little curiosity, for this serious god, this mortal land is nothing at all, and only the kingdom of God can enter her eyes.
The kingdom of each god is their true refuge, and the kingdom of God is big and small, good and bad.
The Kingdom of God condensed by powerful gods is like a small world, which can accommodate hundreds of millions of living beings, with its own rules and systems, and the small Kingdom of God is also equivalent to a giant city.
However, Nora didn't know that the Crown of the Ocean had been starting from scratch until now, but it had only been more than a year.
After Ji Chen settled this "mortal" god of starlight, he asked Willus to learn about the current demon battle situation.
With the addition of players, the battle situation in the southern continent is gradually improving, and players who are not afraid of death, have no poor information, and have a changeable combat style have brought great trouble to the greedy army and are very headaches.
Now, thanks to the efforts of the Desert Alliance, the Combined Fleet, and the players, they have been able to fend off the attacks of the Greedy Legion and sometimes organize counter-offends, and as more and more players are tempted to join the Southern Continent campaign because of the lucrative bounties, this sandy land will return to the control of the orderly side.
There is news from the Western Continent that the goblins seem to have finally taken out their hole cards and mobilized the large war puppet army at the bottom of the box to counterattack, and has now recaptured thousands of square kilometers of land.
And the Eastern Continent, which is the most worried, seems to have ushered in a turning point, the Marcus Empire seems to be in a hurry, and it has tried its best to resist with the Church of Light and other forces in the Eastern Continent, so that the Void Demon King, who has been soaring, is deflated for the first time, and he is dead blocking it in the south of the Hogg Mountains.
The demon did make a lot of preparations, but the Orderly camp was not vegetarian, and it also burst out with a force that should not be underestimated at the moment of destruction.
Especially when the five demon kings have gone, the demon's stamina seems to have a tendency to keep up, but it still makes ordinary creatures fearful.
The demons invaded, and the various forces focused on resisting the demons, and naturally they had no time to take care of the ordinary people, so they naturally fell into fear and dazed emotions all day long.
Especially when he heard how many miles the demon had inflicted on the legions of the Orderly Camp and pushed the battle line forward, his face turned pale with fright, as if the demon was going to attack them tomorrow.
In troubled times, living beings always need some faith to sustenance in their hearts, and in the past they could place their trust in various gods, but now the gods have not responded, and there is nowhere to put their hearts.
This time.
A church called the Cult of the Sea God appeared almost overnight in the coastal cities along the middle ocean of various continents, and it was not only extremely organized, but also very well-funded.
The method of proselytizing is also quite innovative, and those who come to the lecture are given eggs, meat, cloth and other food or practical daily necessities at the end of the meeting, and if approved, they are given special amulets.
It preaches that as long as you believe in a deity called the god of the sea, you wish him peace and well-being in the sea, a good harvest of fish, and protection from calamity.
The waves in the middle of the ocean are turbulent, storms are frequent, and the slightest carelessness can cause ships to be wrecked, so fishermen, sailors, and merchants who rely on the sea for food will believe in one or two sea gods and gods to pray for a safe voyage to the sea.
Some fishermen and merchants attended the lecture with the idea of believing that they would not lose meat at all, and that they would not lose any meat and that they would have peace of mind.
At first, they didn't think so, but as some of the fishermen who had been given special amulets returned from the open sea with an unprecedented harvest, they couldn't help but get excited.
Belief in the god of the sea, it seems to really work!?
The Northern Continent, the Duchy of Reinhardt, the coastal city of Rasul.
In a towering stone building to the east of the city, a church preaching meeting belonging to the Cult of the Sea God is underway.
The priest, dressed in a blue priestly robe and with a kind face, was listening to the believers.
"Priest, I felt the gods bless me when I went out to sea! The wind and waves at sea are no longer turbulent, the sky is no longer raining, and I caught almost three times as many fish last week as before! β
"As long as you believe from the bottom of your heart, God will always open his arms to you, and you will only catch more fish."
"Lord Priest! I haven't encountered any bad weather when I've been out to sea these few times, is God bless me? β
"Of course, you are a devout believer, and God has watched over you, so he will naturally protect you throughout the whole process."
One by one, the believers rushed to talk about the peace and harvest of going to sea since they entered the church, and the priests patiently answered them one by one, and looking at this scene, the eyes of other believers also lit up, making the faith in their hearts firmer.
The aborigines who were watching from the side to see whether they wanted to join the religion or not couldn't help but drum in their hearts when they saw this scene, could it be that they believed in the god of the sea and could be blessed on the sea and have a safe journey?
Soon, when the lecture ended, half of the Aboriginal people present chose to join the Cult of the Sea God and become Protestants.
If anyone has been to the Crescent Islands, they may be able to recognize this kind-faced priest, a worker of the Crown of the Sea, one of the first few groups to join the Crown of the Sea, and the most loyal and fanatical group of residents to Ji Chen.
On that day, he and thousands of his companions gathered together, and when they saw the supreme divine power and orders displayed by the adults, they did not hesitate to set out with a large amount of money to preach from the Crescent Islands to various cities along the coast of the Middle Ocean.
Propaganda meetings like the present one are taking place in various coastal cities, and the fanaticism of the Sea God Cult is gradually fermenting.
Such a novel way of preaching was naturally moved by Ji Chen from the Blue Star, and it turned out that this drainage method was quite effective in the other world.
In essence, after joining the Cult of the Sea God, after obtaining the so-called special amulet, believers will indeed receive different degrees of blessings from the sea, which is based on the territorial protection of the crown of the sea.
With the promotion of the territory to the domain city, the territory protection has also undergone a lot of changes.
[Territory Protection]: Ocean Gift (Lords and troops can catch more fish in the ocean, greatly improve their sense of water and direction in the ocean, and reduce the chance of encountering disasters at sea)
After investigation, Ji Chen found that as long as the believers believed in him, they were regarded as his subjects to a certain extent, and enjoyed the protection of the territory to varying degrees, which became the core driving force for the development of the Ocean God Sect.
Believe in other gods, they will most likely not notice you, but if you believe in Ji Chen and join the Ocean God Cult, you can really get a certain amount of protection.
Therefore, it is clear which is higher and which is lower, and the aborigines are not stupid, especially the fishermen, sailors and merchants who rely on the sea to eat and act according to the weather, and there is a very high demand for this.
This is Ji Chen's unique advantage, which is difficult for others to copy.
Under the heavy pressure brought about by the demonic invasion, the expansion speed of the Ocean God Cult was astonishingly fast, not counting the believers in the native area of the crown of the ocean, in just two weeks, the number of believers on each continent reached as many as 500,000.
This is still a situation when the popularity of the Ocean God Cult is not very high, as long as the base of believers continues to increase, then its spread will only increase exponentially, and finally show explosive growth.
And Ji Chen, who was sitting in the crown of the ocean, also felt the power of faith from all directions of the continent, condensed in the ocean godhead like a river flowing into the sea.
The road to becoming a god has taken a step forward.
