Chapter 616: 'Coming Home'
While the vast expanse of the mainland has been covered in snow while winter is approaching, the island of Hell is still full of greenery and life.
Wuli Ancestral Land, as the place where the legendary miracle was first manifested, this dense forest, which was originally only inhabited by barbaric natives, has suddenly become the political center of more than 60 million square kilometers of land shrouded by Wuli's beliefs.
The populace who lived here had long since moved away, and there was not a single bark house left, except for the newly built majestic temple community and the countless priests of Wuli who walked through it, dressed in various flowing robes.
And surrounded by hundreds of temples connected by zigzag corridors, a thick totem pole that reaches into the clouds stands majestically.
Under the stone pillar was a huge animal skin tent, and at this time, Zhang Lisheng was sitting on the wooden couch in the middle of the camp tent, looking at the dozens of most elite believers kneeling around in front of him, with a contemplative expression on his face.
"Tugla, Tu'an, your words are good, according to the description of ancient books, in addition to the Green Leaf Continent, there are three continents in the Gaia Realm: Frost, Fertile Soil, and Abundance.
And the area of the largest fertile continent in these three landmasses is less than half of the area of the Green Leaf Continent, so I am now almost equivalent to conquering half of the world's realm, and it can be said that the overall situation has been decided, and it is time to officially establish the Holy See in the situation of a 'holy canon'.
Well, Tughra, you and Aruba have always been by my side, and they are the two pillars on which I can spread my faith with peace of mind, so I have decided to divide the Holy See into three parts: consul, theology, and judgeship, of which you will hold the position of 'consul', nominally the supreme authority of the mortal world;
Aruba is the 'dean of theology' of the Holy See, who is in charge of all seminaries;
As for the inquisition, I haven't decided who will run it yet. Leave it alone for the time being..."
When he first mastered the power to bestow divine magic on believers, the young man's idea was to make all the priests become 'scientists' in the Gaian realm, but after the number of lands he ruled several times more, he found that such an idea was unrealistic, and in order to establish a true theocracy, all levels of government must have the status of priests, so he secretly made a compromise.
Hearing the words of the god Wu Li, the faces of the land people in the tent quietly changed color, but no one dared to refute it, so they could only watch the head of the Wu Li tribe and the leader of the craftsmen happily prostrate at Zhang Lisheng's feet to thank the gods.
Fortunately, they immediately heard the comforting news, "Aruba." My devout theologian. I will bring together all the wisest scholars and craftsmen in the Land of Faith under your command, and I hope you can make the 'Wuli Civilization' more brilliant and glorious.
Tugla, unlike Aruba, is ruled by the Holy See in the vastness of the mundane realms. You can't be a dictator alone. I will divide the land of faith into eight dioceses. The Hellish Islands are the Archdiocese, and you are in charge of the government.
Tuan, you are the vice-consul of the Holy See. All the cities of the former Catamane city-state and the Duchy of Fernando... For the Second Diocese, you are in charge of the administration of the government;
Translation Gang, the original oasis of the Xiongqi Desert and the plain of Turin on the Atantine Peninsula are the third diocese, and the government affairs are presided over by you...
Cha Ya Sudo, the stubborn stone plateau is the eighth diocese, and you are in charge of government affairs.
The Privy Council shall be formed jointly with the President of the Holy See and the Dean of Theology to make joint decisions on all major and secular political matters.
With three votes from the Governor and the Dean of Theology, and two votes from the Vice-Governor, a single person may propose a Council in Council..."
Zhang Lisheng combined the various political power structures in the history of the earth in his head, balanced the political interests of the barbarians and terrestrial people in the 'Sea Shrimp No. 2 World Realm', and painstakingly created a hodgepodge of theocratic systems.
After ten years, it will be rotated, and then it will be permanent, and the Holy See Inquisition will not only investigate heresy but also punish priests of all ranks who are corrupt and corrupt, and every diocese will be established in the future.
By the way, in the future, the attire of the diocesan ruler should be different from that of the ordinary high priest, and the robes will be mainly in four colors: water blue, earth yellow, muddy red, and wind blue, and the cuffs will be embroidered with flame patterns.
The consuls, theological prefects, and deputy consuls were added to their chests, and the inquisition was all dressed in black robes, and that's it. ”
"Yes, great deity. After bowing down in unison, everyone's faces became mixed and bowed respectfully.
In the next few days, Wu Li created the Holy See Inquisition with the 'fanatics' as the backbone, and after everything was safe, he arranged the situation in the place where faith was shrouded to further stabilize, and then used the diocese as a unit, recruited the holy war army, waited for the opportunity to attack other continents, and quietly left the 'Sea Shrimp No. 2 World Realm'...
Christmas has just passed, and at this time of year, cold New York is still immersed in the cozy time of winter break, and the rich enjoy the pleasant natural scenery in the resort;
Some of the middle class are far away from the hustle and bustle of the city to celebrate the festival in their hometowns, while others stay in the metropolis and live happily on pre-holiday hoarding food, various electronic entertainment equipment, and soap operas.
Even if the poor homeless were able to enjoy more delicious meals and warm beds than usual provided by various charitable organizations, this year everything was completely different.
From the moment Zhang Lisheng quietly crossed the light curtain separating the two 'worlds', dived into the sea to avoid the 'microphoton broad-spectrum isolation weaving instrument' that stretched out thousands of thin mechanical arms, constantly dancing in the void, and futile to prevent the expansion of the space gate, and landed on the land near the suburbs of New York, he felt that something was wrong.
On the surging beach, he looked at the dark night under his impression, which was always brightly lit, and there was a long line of traffic outside the door, and there was no light shrouded in the gloomy night, and his face showed a suspicious expression.
"Even if the slaughtering business is not good during the Christmas holiday, it is impossible to even turn on the billboard lights..."The young man muttered to himself, and instead of sneaking back to the office as planned, he walked cautiously to the side of the suburban road, stared at the cold wind in the wilderness, and shook his thumb aimlessly towards New York City.
Although it was early in the morning, New York, the 'Apple City' that never sleeped, would still attract many travelers to drive along the interstate highway at this time, but today the young man walked a full distance of more than ten kilometers, his fingers were stiff in the cold wind, but only three cars with flashing headlights passed by, and he had no intention of stopping at all.
Fortunately, when the fourth car with loud rap music was speeding past, it suddenly stopped suddenly, slowly reversed, and a head that blended into the night stretched out from the passenger seat, baring snow-white teeth and shouting wildly: "Hey, man, do you really want to take a ride or plan to rob?"
"Oh, of course I was going to take a ride, I was going to Boston with my friends tonight, but the group of idiots left me behind when the car leaned on the side of the road to pee en masse.
Shit, this is really the most hateful prank I've ever encountered in my life, especially at this unlucky time..."Zhang Lisheng raised his hands and made a harmless appearance, and as he approached the car, he said the reason for making up nonsense.
"Aha, it's not a good idea to go to Boston, we just came out of there, and although the forces of the 'Tuhuan Man' have been repulsed, the whole city has become a garbage heap, and it is a good thing to leave your friends behind. The young black man who stuck his head out smiled and beckoned loudly, "Come on, let's go to New York and give you a ride." ”
Hearing the words 'Tuhuanren', Zhang Lisheng's heart tightened, but he walked to the back door of the car quietly.
"Thank you very much, sir. He sniffed the thick smell of smoke, and with a glance of his eyes, he could clearly see the black youth in the co-pilot retract his head and put a carbine back at his feet.
But this is also reasonable, if it weren't for the reckless young man with a weapon in his hand, in the middle of the night when there were few people, it would be impossible for anyone to be kind enough to let a stranger hitchhike in the wilderness, so Zhang Lisheng opened the car door casually and got into the car.
The car was just an old blue Ford Fiesta, the space was not too big, and there were already two passengers in the back seat, but fortunately they were all slender women, so the young man did not shrink back after squeezing in.
"Thank you for your help, my name is Lisheng, Zhang (Zhang Lisheng), you can just call me Lisheng. As soon as he got in the car, Zhang Lisheng, who was about to talk, introduced himself in a friendly manner.
"Oh, are you planning to run for president of the United States in the future, man, so you are so 'regular' when you talk to everyone. The black man in the front row picked up a homemade 'cigarette tube' from a large plastic cola bottle and said with a big smile: "Why don't you have some marijuana to relax, I grow my own high-quality products in potted plants, so you can call me 'gardening expert'..."
As he murmured, a gloomy voice came from the driver's seat, "Shut up Bob, you're about to enter the city, throw away your 'cigarettes' and open the window for air."
New York should also be semi-military now, and I don't want to get in trouble and be crushed by those white soldiers. ”
"Collapse, oh dear Davin, I have long said that I am not a pure ',' and that I am a quarter of white blood, and that those white GIs must have thought me like a brother when they see my chocolate complexion. The black man in the passenger seat yelled with a smile on his lips, but opened the window and threw the cigarette pipe out.
The four windows of the speeding car fell, the cold wind poured in, and in just a few seconds, the black smoke miasma of the car disappeared without a trace with the temperature in the cabin, and when the windows were closed again, the passengers who came from afar seemed to be much more awake.
When the heating was turned on to the maximum and the temperature was slowly rising, Bob, who had been smiling hippie, patted his shoulders and said to himself, "Hell, it's finally warm." He suddenly turned his head to look at Zhang Lisheng and asked, "Man, didn't you just come out of New York City, how is it there?" (To be continued......)
