298 - Orders and Beliefs
"It's hard to do."
Nahida asked subconsciously.
"I'm glad your first reaction was the technical difficulty of doing this, not the ethics of doing it." Rama was satisfied, "It is true that there are some difficulties, but these difficulties are still within the scope of solving. ”
He raised his hand, and the fire element in his palm condensed into a seed.
"A question I told you a long time ago, I have never been able to understand why in a world where elemental power is the basic rule, the humans living in this world cannot master elemental power."
Teyvat's native species is the dragon lizard, but the humans that Fanes pinched out are actually one of Teyvat's native life.
After all, they are also under the protection of Phanes and have lived in this world for a long time.
However, for such a long time, humanity is still far from the distance between elemental power.
The fact that the only transcendent power in a world, the human beings, who almost occupy the master personality of this world, is completely unable to grasp it, is something that Rama has never been able to understand.
"I didn't care about the answer to that question anymore, after all, it had already happened, and to understand why it happened, I think that should be something later." Rama skipped the question lightly, "But this matter is not critical, I just need to know that humans are not able to apply elemental power naturally. ”
"I was able to turn the elemental power into a seed and plant it in the body of any person to help him master this elemental power." Rama's eyes lit up, "In the early days, of course, this kind of behavior needs to be handled by me one by one to avoid any accidents. ”
"But once the technology matures, it can be promoted in large quantities and help almost all ordinary people obtain a certain amount of elemental power."
His words paused, "And if I can extract even one percent of the elemental power from it, then when this technology spreads across the continent, it will be the people of the entire continent who worship me as a god and help me accumulate elemental power." ”
This inspiration comes from the logical chain under the world view of the divine caster in the Western fantasy story, that is, a true belief in the gods.
Teyvat wasn't such a system of gods, and Fukalus proved that there really was some power in human faith, but the gods before him also proved that they didn't care much about faith. Most of the power they have gained through faith has been used directly on human beings, not on making themselves stronger.
The logic of this required Nahida to answer for Rama, but Rama had already perfected the plan before the question could be answered.
In fact, this matter does not need to be described in too much detail, in short, Rama intends to build a true god system in this world.
The seed is the medium of faith, and everyone can complete a short prayer ritual through the seed, and after the prayer ceremony, they are like completing a precursor to the casting of a divine spell - summoning the attention of the gods and releasing the spell through the power of the gods.
In line with Teyvat's worldview, they invoke Rama's name, and Rama uses seeds to temporarily divide a portion of his power to help them complete their drive to the elemental forces.
Of course, there are technical difficulties with this behavior, but the trouble has always been that if it is not difficult to implement, it will not be used to deal with some difficult problems.
Nahida was able to understand the description in Rama's words, which was not too complicated, in fact the seven gods were more or less active in this regard.
They are all able to collect faith through some means, and turn illusory beliefs into concrete forces to do certain things.
But the difference is that what Rama wants to do is to fully utilize the beliefs of mortals.
The Seven Gods don't have much to do with their faith, as they don't usually have a moment when they actually use this power.
Unlike Rama, he had his eye on this power from the very beginning.
"If that's the case, Sumeru's faith can be handed over to you directly." Nahida didn't hesitate, "It's very difficult to do this, and besides, this should be your plan later, right?" ”
The intermediate plan was to find a few suitable people to grow the seeds, which was also technically difficult, and Nahida was skeptical about the success of the plan.
He didn't even have time to question the reasonableness of doing so, but he took Rama's shoes and thought about how difficult it would be to do it.
"It's not about the ceremony, it's about how the faith is manifested, it's how it really works." Rama had apparently already thought about it, "I don't know about it, but I'm sure that the seven gods of all ages should have done this. ”
"This means depends on the heart of God." Nahida nodded, "I don't know much about this because I don't know much. ”
"But faith is clearly something that has nothing to do with me."
He was imprisoned in the Pure Shrine for 500 years, and during this process, Sumeru continued to operate as usual.
It can be said that Teyvat's belief system is based on the Seven Rulers of the Earth, such as the core of Sumeru is the god of grass, not the demon god Buyer.
Whether or not Bouyere works affects the efficiency of the heart of the gods in extracting faith, after all, many gods have attested to the relationship between the prosperity of the country and the faith of the people.
The only god who lied on this matter was Barbatos, and Wendy said early on that he didn't care, so as the god of wind, he was naturally the weakest of the seven.
There was no way to question this statement in the early days, after all, among the few who appeared at the time, only Wendy gave a clear message in this regard.
However, this old man can't hide in the back, he doesn't care about it, it's true, but the people of Mondstadt have a fanatical pursuit of the god of wind, and in terms of faith, Wendy is not weaker than any other god.
But the only thing that the Seven Consuls can meddle in is the efficiency of collecting faith and how to use the power of faith.
But it's not a secret that they will know how the heart of God works.
After all, the heart of God comes from the gift of Sky Island, and as of today, the mystery of Sky Island has not been removed.
"So I'm going to have to challenge the theocracy above." Rama shrugged, not looking very concerned.
Originally, he also obeyed the rules of the continent, and he could be said to be respectful of forbidden knowledge outside the world.
But as everyone knows, the rules you are willing to follow must be in your own interest, and Rama is willing to follow Teyvat's rules, not because he is a good boy, of course, but because the choice seems to have been more stable before.
Unfortunately, it turns out that whether you will encounter a life-and-death crisis has nothing to do with whether you are sensible or disobedient.
Since then, Rama has decided that he has no taboos.
Anyway, if you are obedient and don't follow the rules of the other party's game, how bad can the ending be?
"Before we do, we'll have to get the Void back to work." Rama looked at Nahida, "Regarding Sumeru's beliefs, this should be your thing. ”
"Since I'm tempted by it, no amount of explanation I can explain it will change the fact that it offends your interests."
Nahida shook her head.
He has already said that he is willing to let Rama take over his faith in Sumeru.
This matter is really not difficult, because of the top operation of the six sages of the past dynasties, they pressed the desert people to the ground and rubbed them, but miraculously retained the divine power of the desert, instead of letting the divine power of the rainforest directly destroy the faith of the Red King.
The outrageousness of this behavior was such that Rama was once able to justify their choice by saying that they might not bother to do it because they were in the palm of their hand.
Disdain is a rhetoric of high emotional intelligence, to put it bluntly, a bunch of wastes who have not considered the war of faith, and won the war without thinking about breaking the backbone of the enemy, giving the desert people a chance to stand up.
Until the time after Brother Kong's arrival in the desert, the desert people were still able to gather together because of the belief of the Red King.
There are many other reasons for this, but the fact that a god who has been dead for a thousand years can still provide his followers with a kind of foundation for a union after a thousand years is a testament to the desert people's pursuit of the faith of the Red King.
Rama's victory made the faith of the Red King stand up again, after all, all the desert people were preaching that Rama was the chosen one who had received the power of the Red King - they were right, Rama was really the "chosen one" of the Red King.
With this publicity, and the current status of Rama, many of the people of the rainforest have proposed to hold certain festivals for the Red King.
This has nothing to do with the Red King, it is purely out of respect for Rama's power.
With his position in Sumeru, if he had the faith of the Red King, he would soon be able to harvest a group of devout followers who did not even know the name of Ahmar.
If Rama wants to build the faith of the Red King in Sumeru, in the case that the throne of the Red King has been usurped by him, he can completely complete a means such as modifying the name of the god and modifying the doctrine to occupy the magpie's nest, directly omitting all the accumulation in the early stage.
With Nahida's cooperation, this is not a difficult thing to do.
Nahida didn't care who the gods of Sumeru were, and his attitude was always simple and efficient in this regard.
But Rama can't help but care.
"I can help with getting the Void back to work." Nahida weighed it for a moment, "Despite the loss of the God's Heart, the [Void] was created by me, and I should be able to reactivate it." ”
It's just that if you lose the heart of God, its effect will be a little bit of a frustration.
But this is a good start after all, there is a road that has been set foot by predecessors, and there is really no need to force yourself to go alone.
"If there's anything I need you to do for me, how about you come forward for me during this time and take a good look at the country?" Nahida whispered, "I can give you everything you want." ”
"I don't want anything, you're definitely not going to be satisfied."
"Since that's the case, then you can take my place and take a good look at this country."
He cupped Rama's cheek and said softly, "You are so nervous, you want to see results as soon as you get nervous, I can't dissuade you from trying in this regard, but you must at least know that Sumeru is also your thing." ”
Although it was not mentioned too much, Nahida certainly knew that Rama's new research needed new material.
This is the price He must pay for personally encouraging the other person to get them alive again.
Rama was so anxious that when he was anxious, he couldn't wait to do something to fill in his gaps and give himself more leverage.
If Rama was to stop, it would be better to let him lie down in the first place.
The solution to this problem, Nahida felt had to be for Rama to take a good look at his own things.
The country of Sumeru is not only Nahida's, but also Rama's.
Rama had almost no such awareness, and he always treated it as a bargain, providing Sumeru with technology and some special creations, and Sumeru providing him with Mora and experimental materials to support him.
It was only in the beginning, before entering Sumeru, that Rama briefly took these things as his own and thought about how to run the country.
However, when Rama found out that Nahida was doing well, he let go of his hands and did not hesitate or linger any further.
From the beginning, He refused to have more contact with the country, choosing to run a business like the Fatui.
The reason for this is very simple and straightforward, he does not want any superfluous factors in the process of re-contact to influence the choice.
After all, Rama at that time was still a warrior with a heart for progress, until he was hit by two arrows in the knee, and he thought that it might be good to lie down, so he simply lay down and did not move.
Nahida hesitated for a long time, but chose to motivate Rama.
But if Rama really regains his faith, it is obvious at a glance what He will do.
Nahida couldn't stop Rama in this regard, and he could only try to strengthen this bond, so that Rama would do things with a little care and not act recklessly.
After all, Rama was still a little afraid before, wanting to play the game within the rules, without considering the power outside the world.
And now, Nahida hardly doubts that if he had the chance, Rama would still choose to step into the abyss like Ahmar back then.
This is an inevitable choice determined by experience, and it cannot be changed by this experience, and naturally it cannot be changed by theirs.
Obey the rules because the rules will bring benefits, if you follow the rules, you will be hit hard, and it is really impossible to follow the rules well.
Of course, Rama gladly agreed, "I will, I will take a good look at the country of Sumeru and see how well you run the country." ”
It's worth the effort, because it's worth the time and experience to choose the right seeds, to pick the first group of people in a Order.
