Chapter 28: Church Revival
Pan Sen was very pleased with Allen's change of attitude.
This little apprentice is still knowledgeable about current affairs!
"Allen, in order to qualify for four years of cultivation in the secret realm, you must carry out a task assigned by the academy."
"Mentor, what is the specific task?"
"Crack down on cult activities!"
"Cult?" Alan was surprised, "Our South Island Federation, didn't we ban all religious activities a long time ago, and there can still be a cult?" ”
"Not to mention that, there are quite a few!"
Pan Sen sighed, his tone difficult to hide his pessimism.
"Recently, the year has been bad, natural disasters and man-made disasters have occurred together, and the people are living a hard life, so they want to seek a little spiritual sustenance."
"Cults of all stripes have taken advantage of the situation to propagate fallacies and heresies, capturing the hearts of many foolish people, and their influence is also increasing."
"If this continues, as the cult power grows day by day, sooner or later it will threaten the rule of the major warlock families."
Pan Sen wanted to say something, but stopped.
This topic would be too sensitive to go on.
In fact, if the tutor doesn't say it, Alan can guess eight or nine points.
Freezing three feet is not a day's cold.
Cults do not come out of nowhere.
The world of warlocks was once a kingdom of gods and their churches.
It's like those normal fantasy worlds that Allen saw in his previous life.
It's just that the gods who were once infinitely beautiful have long since fallen.
It was the ancestors of the warlocks who pushed the gods off the altar!
Every warlock bloodline that has been passed down to the present day.
Its origin can be traced back to an ancient ancestor.
The power of the Warlock Ancestors is extremely terrifying, comparable to that of the gods!
The struggle between the ancestors and the gods lasted for thousands of years.
The struggle between the two camps is not just for profit.
In essence, it is a struggle for the line of "great power comes from itself" or "great power comes from faith"!
The strength of the ancestors comes from the bloodline and from themselves.
The power of the gods comes from faith, from the gathering of people.
Ancestors, it is very strong to fight alone.
However, it is not possible to impart one's own power to others in an efficient and universal way, such as books.
Just as Eren wants to learn spells from his mentor, he can only inject the bloodline awakening potion.
However, in the time of the Ancestors, even awakening pills that were expensive, inefficient, and risky for side effects did not exist.
The ancestors could only pass on some of their talents to their offspring by having children.
This way of inheritance cannot be more efficient.
On the other hand, the greatest advantage of the gods is the gathering of people!
When a church is established, the more devout believers it has and the more faith energy it provides, the stronger the deities it worships.
The reverse is also true.
The more powerful the gods, the more and more divine graces and magic they can bestow on believers!
This creates a positive feedback.
The mighty church, like a snowball, is getting bigger and stronger.
In the early days of the struggle, the gods led their followers to completely crush the Ancestor of the Warlocks, almost exterminating them.
The ancestors had to abandon their wives and children and leave their homes.
Hide in a secret place that the gods can't find, and practice hard.
After many years, the cultivation is a great success, and then go out of the mountain to take revenge!
Gradually, the ancestors also realized that they could not make it alone.
So they connected with each other to form an "alliance of warlocks" to join forces against the gods.
After years of struggle and too many losses, the ancestors also learned to be obedient.
Don't directly challenge the powerful gods, pinch the soft persimmon first.
What is a soft persimmon called?
Believers in the gods are soft persimmons!
The proper way for the first patriarchs to kill the gods was to start by slaughtering the believers in the gods.
Slaughter the city and exterminate the people!
Kill all over the place!
Bloodshed like a river of killing!
Kill and run!
Change places and continue to commit massacres.
The Church of the Gods, no matter how fast it develops believers, is not as fast as the slaughter of the first ancestors.
After all, it's always easier to destroy than to build.
If violence doesn't solve the problem......
Just use more violence!
It's that simple and crude, but it works!
Ninety percent of the world's population was killed.
Are there any innocent deaths among them?
Yes! Not too much!
However, the Patriarchs were not guilty.
This is a brutal struggle for the line.
It is better to kill a thousand people by mistake than to slip through the net.
Killing and killing, killing thousands of miles to the point where there is no one to live, and the church will lose the soil for survival and growth.
The church declined and died.
The gods also lost the source of their faith and turned from prosperity to decline.
The divine power is declining and irretrievable.
Under the influence of each other, the gods finally ushered in the end of the world.
After the fall of the gods, the Ancestors became the new masters of this wasteland.
So he recuperated and rebuilt his civilization.
And just like that, the world of warlocks was born.
The Patriarchs won the final victory.
The bloodlines of the ancestors spread all over the land, forming the major warlock families of today.
This is a triumph for the aristocratic elite, a triumph for the doctrine of descent, but also a catastrophe for the masses.
The first ancestor and his bloodline family, violently suppressed everything.
There is no need for believers.
There is no need for worship.
There is no need to buy people's hearts.
More capital and selfishness than religion.
More than the gods, they don't care about the lives of the people.
Warlocks of noble blood never mind oppressing ordinary people.
Treat the common people like slaves, toys, and even food.
Such a social system has existed for thousands of years, and countless grievances have accumulated among the people.
Where there is oppression, there is resistance.
The oppressed people, in order to survive, chose to embrace religion again.
Religion is the opium of the people, but the suffering of the people is real, realistic, and cannot be eliminated by taking the opium away.
As a result, folk beliefs were revived, and secret societies emerged one after another.
There are underground churches that pray for the resurrection of the gods and the granting of divine graces.
There are also fraternities that help each other.
The purpose is to rebel against the rule of the Warlock family.
The Warlock family, as the ruling class, also noticed these signs of danger.
In addition to infighting, the major families also have a common mission:
Monitor, hunt down, and destroy underground churches and rebels!
As far as the Austronesian Federation is concerned, one of the more threatening cult groups today, known as the "Cult of Beasts"!
All kinds of beasts and even insects have corresponding main gods in the belief system of the beast worship religion.
Devout believers who worship these half-human, half-beast gods are said to have the opportunity to receive divine grace and awaken the animalistic bloodline in their bodies.
Become a powerful beast!
What's even worse is that the beast people of the Beast Cult can also spread their bloodline wildly in the form of a virus.
For example, the most typical beast man - werewolf.
A person who has been bitten by a werewolf.
There is a high probability of contracting bestiality.
On a full moon night, uncontrollably madness.
From a normal person to a bloodthirsty werewolf, and then to continue to spread bestiality.
It's like a dog with rabies, biting people everywhere and spreading rabies.
Areas where animal worship is rampant are always accompanied by outbreaks of bestiality.
In fact, the virus spread by the Cult is not limited to bestiality.
The rat people, the most despicable of the beast family.
The best thing to do is to spread the plague!
Everywhere he went, the shadow of the Black Death hung over the land.
Now, the same tragedy is playing out on Magic Stone Island.
Magic Stone Island, one of the most important resource points for the Warlock Academy.
The mining industry is well developed and rich in magic stones.
Magic stones, a key resource for meditation practice.
The importance of Magic Stone Island can be imagined.
Starting this spring.
The evil tentacles of the Beast Worship Sect extend to Magic Stone Island.
First, there were small-scale underground churches.
Then there was the plague pandemic, which broke out in multiple locations.
When the islanders were frightened by the epidemic, they were confused.
The cultists, who had been lurking on the island for a long time, stepped forward.
Claiming to join their church, they would be cured of the plague and their families would be safe.
In fact, this disaster was caused by the cultists.
They were both adept at spreading the plague and indeed at curing it.
Through this self-directed and self-acting method, he soon won the worship of the foolish people on the island.
As the power of the Cult of Beasts grew.
The rule of the Warlock Academy on the island is also threatened.
Many of the mines have been freed from the Academy's control and have become the private property of the Cult.
The greedy cultists are doing things on the island, and the ultimate goal is to control the mines and go crazy to steal magic stones.
The major families that dominate the Warlock Academy do not care about the lives and deaths of the civilians on the island.
However, the cult stealing the magic stone resources is equivalent to stabbing the main artery of the warlock family and drawing their blood.
It's unbearable!
Master Randolph, the dean, personally ordered.
A group of elite students were dispatched to form a team to go to Magic Stone Island to crack down on cult activities.
The first team, which set off a month ago, has now lost contact.
The whereabouts of all the members are unknown, and their fate is unknown.
As a result, the college is preparing for the establishment of a second investigation team.
A stronger team.
Not only must they crack down on cults, but they are also tasked with rescuing their missing former members.
This task is very risky.
The team that was wiped out before is a bloody lesson from the past!
Under the heavy reward, there is a brave man.
Enter the secret realm of time and cultivate for four years.
Corresponding to the real time, there is only one year.
That's the quest reward!
The opportunity that Pan Sen intends to fight for Eren is a place to join the Magic Stone Island Investigation Team!
