Chapter 838: Faith and Civilization(1/2)
In contrast, today's era is better.
Even a former absolute beneficiary like Jameson, a complete royal family, thinks so much, not to mention others.
Perhaps to some extent, for ordinary people in this world, the era in front of them is like a paradise, the world they dream of.
Of course, there is no absolute perfection in everything in this world.
Even in this era that Jameson thinks is already an extremely beautiful time, many people are still dissatisfied with it and even want to subvert it.
But this cannot change the facts and truths of this era in the slightest sense of reality and truth than in the past.
All the thoughts in his mind passed by, Jameson looked up and looked forward.
Chris' promotion has been completed nearly half of it at this moment.
In other words, most of the threshold has been crossed by him, leaving only the last slight obstacle.
But this is only a matter of time for Chris.
In Jameson's heart, Chris could not fail to pass this promotion.
Even if he fails by himself, Chris will not fail. This is Jameson's confidence in the opponent Chris.
To some extent, this confidence has been accumulated over a long period of time.
In various occasions in the past, no matter what you do, Chris will never disappoint and will always be ahead of everyone.
It is this once glory that gives everyone confidence and firmly believe that the other party can succeed.
But if this continues, how far will the other party go?
Jameson couldn't help but think of this: "After the ninth level, it seems to be it"
The noun that had almost become obsession flashed through his heart.
Holy Son.
Above the ninth level is a demigod, which is also called the Holy Son in this world, meaning the Holy Son.
In this world, the demigods are the descendants of the former ancestors, and are the sacred sons he was bred through various means.
It is impossible for mortals to peek into that field.
Even now, it is impossible.
But now doesn't work, what about the future?
Jameson couldn't help but think of this flash in his heart, and his body couldn't help but start to throbbing.
There have been countless times, he wanted to see a holy son he had cultivated himself.
But now, it seems that he himself can reach this point, as a mortal, to the level of a former sacred descendant.
Thinking of this, his face became calm, and his emotions became more and more firm, as if he had already strengthened a certain belief.
Things that Jameson and others didn't know were also watched here when they watched the promotion ceremony.
Moreover, the viewer is not an ordinary person, but a full three holy people.
Chen Heng stood quietly in nothingness, looking at the scene above the earth below.
Above that scene, a tall tower stands with Chris on it.
He worked there and roared towards the whole world.
Looking at his appearance, Chen Heng couldn't help but smile: "It seems that the first sacred in this world will be born soon."
"What do you think?"
He looked at the two gods of shadow in front of him and asked with a smile.
Regarding Chen Heng's inquiry, the God of Shadow and the Lord of Nature were speechless.
At this time, they looked at Chris under their feet and felt very complicated.
In just so many years, this world has actually given birth to an existence with the potential to reach the sacred.
“Excellent”
The Lord of Nature spoke, and his tone sounded a bit complicated: "It's only five or six thousand years, and he has come to this point. If he is given ten thousand years, there may be a possibility of reaching the sacred."
Chris undoubtedly has the possibility of reaching the sacred, which is the conclusion that the two Gods of Shadows reached early.
But in the past, in the eyes of both of them, this possibility was not very high, but now it is another matter.
With their eyes, they can already feel a certain degree of fate.
Therefore, when they felt the throbbing, they realized that if nothing unexpected happened, a future sacred saint would soon be born.
This speed is really fast.
"How is your situation?"
After seeing Chris here, Chen Heng turned his gaze and looked at the God of Shadow.
For thousands of years, the God of Shadow has been trying.
He used the Cardo Empire as an experimental site and made various attempts to find a balance between faith and development.
However, in the end, what he greeted was a complete failure.
At the beginning, he tried to reduce the lifespan of the priests and weaken their strength, etc. to reduce the priests' obstruction to the world.
This attempt was undoubtedly a failure.
Because the God of Shadow soon discovered that if the power of the priest is weakened too much, it will lead to the resistance of secular power. At that time, the church with the priest as the backbone will be impacted and faith will no longer be respected.
By then, the situation will be much worse than before.
This attempt has since failed.
Then the God of Shadow made various attempts. For example, while strengthening the power of the priests, he also focused on supporting some secular geniuses, making them the sons of destiny for a period of time, and leading the Kado Empire to complete changes again and again.
This kind of operation is not rare.
In certain periods in many worlds, there are basically similar situations. A man from the sky appears and smashes everything, and can't stop anything in front of you.
Of course, in the Kado Empire, where the priests are so powerful, it is still difficult to succeed in this trick of a fierce man from heaven.
Under normal circumstances, no matter what kind of macho you are, you must lie down honestly under the blockade and suppression of powerful priest power, and there is no room for you to play.
Whether it is a dragon or a tiger, they are lying on their verge.
However, with the strong support of the final backstage of the priest, the Shadow God, this almost impossible change was successful.
With the blessing of all kinds of luck that are comparable to winning the lottery, those changers have achieved the possibility of impossible things again and again in the impossible and completed the changes again and again.
Then the God of Shadow fell silent again.
Because when the change came into being, productivity developed greatly, but the situation did not develop towards the scenario he imagined.
The growth of productivity will lead to a large population explosion, but it will also greatly develop people's wisdom.
When education keeps up, believers’ piety towards faith will no longer be the same as before.
Only those who are in despair are the most devout believers.
Because the man in despair has nothing, he can rely on only his God.
But when the masses developed, people were shocked to find that they could rely on their own work to get everything they wanted, sufficient food, gorgeous clothes and a better life.
In this case, faith inevitably dissipates and retreats.
Perhaps in the traditional atmosphere, many people will enter the church to worship and pray, and pray to the gods for various wishes.
But this is no longer the so-called faith.
This belief is no longer pure, but just a transaction.
True believers will not give up faith and worship just because the gods do not give up gifts, but will integrate faith into their lives.
If you pray to the gods only when they need it, and throw them aside when they don’t need it, then is this faith?
It is precisely because of this that the God of Shadow is silent and no longer knows what to do.
If productivity is developed, the people's wisdom will inevitably be greatly expanded, and then faith will fade.
But if we forcefully cut off these things, suppress the wisdom of the people and return everything to its original state, it will lead to the death of a large number of people and believers.
This is also a serious waste.
Compared with the two, it seems that neither of them is better.
So, is there a way to get the best of both worlds?
There seems to be some.
As long as all the believers are suppressed, while doing this, they provide them with enough food to reproduce, and they can eat and drink without worrying about it, then naturally, conflicts can be reduced, riots will no longer occur, and priests will no longer suppress believers who belong to the Shadow God.
Simply put, it is to obtain materials from the outside world to support your own believers.
Just like humans keep their own livestock, they keep their believers as livestock.
The sacrifices of gods become shepherds who guard domestic animals.
