Chapter 633: Some Things Can Be Handed Over to Mortals, Some Things Never Can Be Done (1/2)
Underground Temple.
As the god with the most comprehensive information on the giant island, Rosen was the first to express his opinion on this small and medium-sized soul ranch.
"According to the basic information obtained by the Ministry of Intelligence, the average life expectancy of mortals on Black Rock Island is about 45 years old."
"There are five stages, namely infancy and early childhood before the age of six, growth from six to fourteen, prime of life from fourteen to thirty-five, and twilight after thirty-five."
"It's not a long time, and the total faith offered is naturally not enough."
"But in reality, this is not the natural lifespan of mortals, but the result of the interaction between mortals and the social environment."
"If the latter can be improved, especially the medical level of society, then the average life expectancy of mortals can be increased to about 90 at most."
"A mortal's body may grow, or be strong, or age, but after the age of 20 and until the age of 70, the strength of the soul generally remains at a fairly stable high level, which can provide a strong and stable power of faith."
"Considering the cost of upgrading, it should be the most reasonable to control the average life expectancy of mortals at 70."
"If it grows for a long time, it will pay a huge amount of additional maintenance costs. If it is less, it will lose the income of faith. ”
"Therefore, my personal thought is that we Logic Divine Alliance should not only care for the souls of mortals, but also take care of the physical health of mortals as much as possible, so as to maximize the role of a mortal believer."
"After all, it takes ten months to conceive a mortal body, and it takes a full 20 years for a mortal soul to fully grow, and it is a pity to die easily at the age of 45."
The gods listened attentively.
After listening, Elantis said: "If you want to improve the level of medical care, it is inevitable to interfere with the functioning of mortal society. ”
"This is inconsistent with the general principle that 'the soul shall be to God, and the world to mortals.'"
The purpose of this great principle, which is to liberate the creativity of mortals, was originally proposed and implemented by the Empress of the Earth, and it has indeed had a great effect, allowing a large number of talents and amazing wisdom to emerge in the mortal world.
Therefore, in the camp of the god of order, this principle is very respected by the gods and will not be violated easily.
Naturally, Rosen will not disobey, because this is equivalent to slapping the empress in the face, but he also has his own ideas.
He nodded: "It is true that there are some inconsistencies, but this great principle proposed by His Majesty is the most ideal state, requiring every mortal to be able to control the world at a fairly high level. ”
"But obviously, the vast majority of mortals, both in wisdom and ability, cannot reach this state."
"Although most mortals like to call themselves intelligent beings, most of the time, mortals are irrational beings who are easily influenced by emotions and should be called emotions."
"Even the most rational mortal logic mages have many moments when they get out of control, so the world will always be filled with uncontrollable chaos."
"In peacetime, there is nothing wrong with this, but at a critical time against the true God of darkness, this kind of chaos is unacceptable."
"As the leaders of mortals, we must grasp some key secular realms in order to better control the direction of mortal society and prevent the devil from stealing the fruit."
Fasclau, the logic mage, was deeply touched by this.
"I fully agree with Gen Rosen, in fact, I'm a little more pessimistic."
"I think most of the time, mortals are a bunch of incomprehensible beings!"
"Of course, I know that my view is too extreme, but it is not too far."
He was a little emotional, and he probably had been troubled by it in his mortal years.
Erantis concluded, "Well, the principle we need to follow should be, take care of the mortal body, so that they are generally in a state of health. also take care of their souls so that they are not tempted by the devil. ”
"As for the other realms, leave it to mortals for self-determination?"
Rosen shook his head: "No, in addition to medical care, there are several areas that we must also grasp firmly."
He looked around at the gods: "From the general principles that Ms. Elantis has said, two important priesthoods can be logically deduced."
"One is medical care. The second is education. ”
"The former takes care of the physical body, and the latter has a greater significance, not only to maintain the soul, but also to improve the soul, strengthen the soul, and even awaken the soul."
"If we do well in the field of education, it will be our biggest source of competitiveness."
"If a good education lasts for up to three generations, the average soul strength of our ranch will be greatly increased, and the resistance to demonic bewitchment will also be greatly improved, and naturally we will be able to gain more faith power, and even a large number of elite allies and countless wisdom achievements."
"Therefore, the priesthood of education is closely related to the entire future development of the ranch, and even determines whether we can win this expedition in the end."
To Rosen's words, the gods nodded in approval.
Nova smiled: "A god of medicine, a god of education, full of the refinement of the logical and legal system, is there anything else?" ”
"I think there is also a need for a god of war to lead mortals against foreign invasions. ”
The gods nodded in approval.
In troubled times, the realm of war naturally cannot be handed over to mortals for self-determination, and must be firmly grasped in their hands.
It can also be expected that during the war years, the status of the god of war will be very high, and all other fields will have to serve the god of war.
Fasclau said, "Then there are three priesthoods left." ”
Rosen naturally thought about it carefully, and continued at this time: "The greater the number of mortals, the more power of faith is provided. ”
"And as far as I know, the rate of dystocia and infant mortality among women on Black Rock Island is very high, and the latter is even as high as two-thirds!"
"In addition, there are many children born out of wedlock on the Black Rock Island, and under the influence of the god of the forest, the union of men and women is very casual."
"This can be seen in the names of civilians, such as riverside, tree, sheepfold, horseback, etc."
"While having children out of wedlock greatly increases fertility, it greatly hinders education and produces a large number of inferior believers, which is not cost-effective."
"So, I think we need a special god of marriage and fertility to reduce the additional losses in this area, and if this is done well, the rate of population growth and the quality of the population on the island can at least double."
It was so important that the gods nodded in agreement.
Rosen continued, "There are two more priesthoods at the end, and I have a preliminary idea. ”
"First, the guardian priesthood."
"Mortals are weak, and their minds are often controlled by fear, and when facing demon gods, they are even more powerless. Even with the help of the Righteous Divine Tower, it is by no means an opponent of the Demon God, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the trap of the devil. ”
"Therefore, there needs to be a god who guards the souls of mortals so that they will not be exploited by the devil."
This priesthood is about the same as a mortal nanny.
"Second, the priesthood of death."
"Mortals will die, but all mortals fear death, and they are most susceptible to temptation by the devil at this point. The establishment of the priesthood of death makes mortals realize that death is not the end, but a new beginning, so that they can calmly face the cycle of life and death. ”
Death exists forever, and the importance of the priesthood of death is naturally irreplaceable.
In this way, there are six very important priesthoods, which correspond to the six gods.
But six priesthoods alone cannot cover the entire social sphere, and there must be many additions.
After some discussion, the gods added many more minor priesthoods, covering all aspects of mortals from birth to death.
Naturally, these minor priesthoods are also held by each god separately.
Ultimately, it is time to determine who will be the corresponding person for the priesthood.
Cedrana self-proposed.
"I want to be the god of war, after all, I'm good at fighting."
"I also know that this priesthood is very important, in times of war, the god of war will get more power of faith, but war cannot last forever, and this is also a reasonable reward for the huge risk of the god of war."
To tell the truth, Cedrana, who has a level 7.8 divine power and has mastered the laws of fire and destruction, is indeed the best candidate for the god of war.
Rosen said: "I have no opinion. ”
The other gods either don't have the confidence to rule over this powerful priesthood, or they don't have the ability to compete with Cedrana.
Nova, the only capable one, is not interested in the god of war.
Eventually, the gods nodded in agreement.
As a result, Cedrana is the god of war on the Black Rock Island, and also serves as a number of war-related minor priesthoods.
Such as weapons, command, courage, and so on.
Elantis also recommended himself: "I would like to be the god of marriage and fertility." ”
This task is important, but it is all about working with women and children, which is tedious and tedious, and requires a lot of patience.
Since she was willing to take on the burden, the other gods nodded in approval.
Fasclau said: "I am personally very interested in life alchemy, and I also know a lot of life alchemy knowledge, if you trust me, I am willing to become the god of medicine." ”
No one grabbed it, after all, this field is extremely professional.
Then it was Nova who spoke.
"Death is the end of mortal life and the beginning of life in the kingdom of God."
"I have lived for so many years, I have seen countless deaths, and I have also seen countless mortals and gods before they die, and I know that what people fear most is not death itself, but the unknown of death."
"So, I'm willing to be the god of death."
Indeed, there is no one more suitable for the priesthood than her.
Finally, there are two priesthoods, which are guardianship and education.
Alain is self-aware.
"My knowledge is far inferior to that of a mentor, and I don't dare to be a priest in education, so I will be a guardian god, focusing on guarding the souls of mortals."
He was Rosen's apprentice and had a clear understanding of his abilities.
Knowing that he was doing this alone, it would be difficult for him to do it thoroughly.
After all, there are tens of millions of mortals, how can they be guarded one by one.
As a mentor, it is natural to help.
In fact, the gods of the old times were very careless in managing believers.
Because there are tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of believers, and the highest number of God's ability to cast spells is only a thousand, it is difficult for even the most diligent God to achieve one-to-one parity with believers.
As a result, it is inevitable that there will be many loopholes that can be exploited, and it will inevitably fail believers and lead to the loss of faith.
In this regard, Rosen naturally has a solution.
So, he said: "As a logical alliance, the greatest reliance is on our wisdom."
"Through wisdom, the impossible is made possible."
"For the management of believers, I have learned from the experience of the Dragon Blood Continent and specially developed an intelligent artifact that works with the godhead, called 'Faith Steward', which should help you better manage believers."
As he spoke, he condensed the spell book corresponding to the artifact and distributed it to the gods.
"According to my calculations, a small butler can help manage 10 million believers, and if an array is formed, there is no upper limit."
This thing is the youth version of the Believer Manager on the desktop.
The features are about one-tenth of the full version.
The gods are no strangers to intelligent artifacts, after all, many mortal civilizations have independently invented corresponding magic weapons.
But at this time, when I saw the spell book given by Lawson, I still felt a headache after reading it, because it was too professional and cumbersome.
Only Fasclau, who was also a logic mage, was like a treasure, and after a quick glance, he couldn't help but pat the arm of his chair.
"Aha~ With the assistance of this wonderful artifact, the godhead can be regarded as truly complete!"
Otherwise, God will either act as a babysitter for believers around the clock, or he will not manage it properly, and lose a lot of faith in vain.
Of course, the other gods are not stupid, and they will definitely think of similar methods to improve efficiency.
But the Godhead of Faith was designed by Lawson, and it must be the auxiliary artifact given by Lawson, the designer, that is the most useful.
In the end, only the priesthood of education remained.
The importance of this priesthood is self-evident, and it directly determines the upper limit of the ranch's divine power income.
For this priesthood, Rosen naturally deserves it.
"Then, I am the god of education."
The gods had no doubts about Lawson's ability, and naturally agreed at this time.
At this point, the six main priesthoods were distributed, and the attribution of some related minor gods was discussed, so the division of labor was completed among the gods.
But this only clarifies the responsibilities and how to do it, but it also needs to be discussed by the gods in order to achieve synergy, so that mortal society can become an organic whole with an orderly division of labor and cooperation, rather than being separated from each other.
However, this matter cannot be done behind closed doors, and it is necessary to combine reality and prescribe the right medicine.
Rosen said: "The god of the forest, Ino, has twelve mortal saints, and there is one in White Deer City, called the White Deer Saint Meng Qili, ask her for help." ”
Just as he was about to summon the White Deer Saint Meng Qili, Nova suddenly said:
"Wait, we haven't built a kingdom of God to house the souls of the dead believers."
When a believer dies, the soul returns to God, which is also a very important income of divine power, which is about equivalent to the power of faith of a living person for ten years.
Nature cannot be ignored.
In the past, it was sent to the resting place of the Earth God Kingdom, but now the empress has introduced a new policy, and during the expedition, ninety percent of the souls are self-determined, so the placement of souls has become a problem.
Lawson has his own space-time divine kingdom to house the souls of believers, but other gods do not, and they will not create a divine realm.
There are currently two ways in which the gods deal with it.
The first idea, to create a kingdom of God beneath the earth, is simply to dig a giant pit in the ground and disguise it as an independent world.
Obviously, this giant pit can't be dug too big, and the world disguised by divine power can't be very beautiful, and the safety is difficult to guarantee, so it can only be said that it can be used.
The second is to build a large artifact with illusions inside to design a new world.
The kingdom of God designed by this method is very beautiful, and it requires a lot of divine power to maintain, and it is easy to collapse if you are not careful.
In terms of cost performance, it is much worse than the first one.
Rosen asked, "Do you think it's an underground kingdom?" Or is it the Kingdom of Illusion? ”
After some discussion, everyone unanimously decided to use the underground kingdom of God, and then decorate it a little with illusion.
The reason is to save divine power.
Rosen said: "Then divide the labor and cooperate, part of it will build the Kingdom of God, and part of it will contact the White Deer Saints." ”
After a little discussion, Lawson, Nova and Arantis went to find the White Deer Saints, while the other three gods went to dig a 'giant hole' underground.
Meng Qili has been completely subdued, and after the soul is summoned, she will answer all questions and be very cooperative.
Because the main body of the Logic God Cult had already been discussed, Meng Qili's role was to perfect the details.
It was very tedious and boring, and after asking for a while, Erantis and Nova made an excuse to dig a hole underground, leaving Lawson alone to communicate with Meng Qili.
No way, who made Rosen a patient and meticulous gentleman?
After some exchanges, Rosen has a fairly in-depth understanding of the mortal society of Black Rock Island, and at the same time makes promises to Meng Qili.
"From this moment on, I logic that the gods will be the guardians of the Black Rock Island, and we respect the tradition left by Yin Nuo, the god of the forest."
"In the future, the island will change, but gradually, to allow time for mortals to adapt."
"Our greatest hope is for Black Rock to become more prosperous, not chaotic. I hope Ms. Meng Qili can rest assured about this. ”
Meng Qili was really a little worried that this new god was bright on the surface and dark on the back, and now when she heard this, she was relieved.
He said respectfully: "Greats, it is the supreme glory of the island to be protected by you, and we are willing to cooperate with the greats to protect the prosperity and tranquility of the island." ”
Thus, a contract was made between the gods and mortals.
The future path of Black Rock Island has been preliminarily decided.
In the following time, the gods of logic began to methodically transform this new soul ranch.
The wheels of time, which had stalled slightly, began to speed forward again.
In the blink of an eye, another two years have passed.
It may not be long, but Black Rock Island has begun to sprout a flourishing landscape that has never been seen before.
Everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, and everyone is at peace and happiness.
The direct manifestation is that in two years, the number of new births has exceeded 6 million every year, while the number of deaths has been less than 1 million.
As a result, the number of believers rose from 40 million to 50 million, providing pure and stable power of faith.
The income is so high and stable, even the Rose Lady Nova, who has seen the big scene, is very surprised, and begins to really pay attention to the soul ranch of the Black Rock Giant Island.
Naturally, Rosen, the god of education, has also gained a large number of devout believers among the people.
Under the new belief model, a mortal can devout several gods.
Thus, in two years, the number of close connections with Rosen's followers increased to a staggering 60 million.
Among them, there are 40 million on the Black Rock Giant Island, and 20 million on the space-time continent that has been in operation for six years.
At the same time, Lawson's body was also quietly promoted to a powerful divine power, reaching level 7.0.
But there was no announcement.
Because he is trying his best to create a youthful version of the source of all laws, so as to achieve complete security and freedom.
In addition, the general situation of the expedition was quite good.
The four powerful gods of Amitel have all gained a firm foothold, and the other fronts are also showing a good situation of strategic stalemate and overall superiority.
Rosen originally thought that he would develop followers step by step on the Black Rock Giant Island and smoothly create the source of ten thousand laws.
But after another month of such calm, a shocking event suddenly broke out in the Eight Realms.
This is really a bit big, so much so that Lawson, who has become a powerful divine power, feels a little frightened.
Message from the front lines of the expedition.
Daldalit succeeded in promoting his powerful divine powers, but at the same time, he also degenerated into a demon god.
And his fall and betrayal directly led to the fall of Tyrod, the 7.7-level powerful god of the Nature God Kingdom, the God of Storms.
The battlefield of the God of Storm is one of the main battlefields of the expedition, the seventh moving star Thrandis, the Windflower Continent.
The powerful god fell, and the battle collapsed instantly, causing 7 medium gods, 20 weak gods to be killed, 5 medium gods, and 18 weak gods to degenerate into demon gods.
The Wind Flower Continent has completely fallen into the hands of the Chaos Demon God, and the strategic posture of Thrandis has been forced to shift from offense to defense.
This is also the first powerful god of order to fall so far from the expedition, and it is also the most disastrous defeat.
When the news came out, the hearts of the emerald expeditionary force were shaken!
As for Rosen, after regaining his composure, he immediately realized the opportunity.
"This is a good opportunity for me to get involved in the frontline battlefield and get more believers!"
It is true that his current God Heart level is level 7, but the management authority of the Source of Ten Thousand Laws is still level 6.7.
Because the authority of the Source of Ten Thousand Laws is only related to the number of devout believers, 60 million believers correspond to level 6.2 divine power.
The minimum standard for believers with powerful divine power is 300 million!
Therefore, the greater the number of believers, the better.
In addition, in the near future, he is about to become completely independent, and he can also start building his prestige and accumulating a foundation in advance.
However, those Great Soul Ranches that were expected to have huge profits were all occupied by powerful gods and could not be squeezed in.
Now that one has been vacated, he is just making up for it!
