Chapter 667： The long-term plan of the disobedience

The study was quiet for a few seconds. Ophelia seemed to be sorting out his thoughts. Gao Wen was digesting the information provided by the other party. After a while, he broke the silence: "You started the rebellious plan, just because of these two sentences. What?"

Not waiting for Ophelia to answer, he added: "I thought of a possibility - is it possible that the knowledge and essence of the gods are too much beyond human perception, beyond the processing power of the human brain, so any close to the gods The behavior itself leads to madness, which has nothing to do with whether the gods themselves are really malicious. Will the death explorers and the semi-mad returners see only the knowledge that leads to human madness, not the **** itself?"

These words seem to be excusing the gods, but Gao Wen knows that Ophelia will understand what he means - he is not a believer in God, nor does he have any innate affection for God, just for rigorous considerations. He must say the possibility of his own thoughts, and Ophelia as an ancient empire researcher, this rigor should also be her professional ethics.

Ophelia's reaction really did not come out as high as expected: "This is a possibility, we also thought about it at the beginning - so we did a series of verifications and more investigations, but the more in-depth study of the gods Knowledge, the more faint of the truth, the more disturbing.

"In the process of excavating the ancient ruins, we found some fragments of the legacy of the civilization that had been lucky enough to survive the magic tide. Their demise was sudden, without warning, and ushered in the most prosperous and stable society. Extinction, which allowed us to rule out almost all possibilities except 'the gods are destroyed.'

“We have touched some ancient races, including the Kraken and the Dragons that you know, and the ancient lords of some elemental worlds – the ancient empire and the elements of the world are closely related, and the powerful creatures of the elemental world are not subject to magic. Influenced by the tide. In the words of those ancient races, we find that the destruction of ancient civilizations usually occurs in the stage of major changes in their belief systems.

"And in some of the rarest archaeological gains, we have also dug up some literary records on the eve of the ancient civilization's demise, occasionally mentioning 'God is not allowed', 'The mortal has crossed the border', 'God has come, and the end is coming Words like 'this seem to be the words left by the few in the ancient civilization who noticed the change of the gods in advance, but those 'prophet' could not save the situation."

Listening to Ophelia's article, Gao Wen nodded slightly.

The rebellious people started the huge plan really not because of impulsiveness - they found the increasingly desperate truths in the process of in-depth investigation, and the dark future made these "deviant" have no choice. I had to secretly open a plan against the gods.

"Perhaps we still can't completely determine the truth of the 'death of the gods', but the magic tide is approaching, the shadow of God is approaching, even if the end is only one percent of the possibility, we must also make 100% preparation - Maybe all our efforts will prove to be a joke in the end, but if it does happen, we must always come up with some means of resistance," Ophelia said in a deep voice, "Living and setting a safe environment." The next person probably can't understand this extreme behavior, but you should understand it as a pioneer."

"Humans are a suspicious and timid creature," Gao Wen sighed. "So we always have to arm ourselves."

"This suspiciousness and timidity ensure the survival of our ethnic group."

Gao Wen adjusted his sitting position and looked at Ophelia's eyes: "You mentioned that you have discovered that the destruction of ancient civilizations usually occurs in the stage of major changes in their belief systems. What does this mean? ?"

“In short, their temples are rapidly diminishing, and the size of all churches is shrinking almost at the same time.”

“Abandoning the faith, so angered God?” Gao Wen frowned, and suddenly he moved. “Then the Reform of the Church of Light is now going on...”

"This is exactly what I want to say," Ophelia said. In her always light, gentle smile, like a masked face, Gao Wen actually saw a rare enthusiasm, that is hair Since the sincere expression, "the reforms we carried out in the Church of the Light did not cause the 'revitalization' of the Holy Light."

Activation - Gao Wen noticed the words used by Ophelia at the moment.

Then he asked: "What you mean is that the content of the Holy Spirit is in the heart of the heart, the morality and justice take precedence over the dogma, and the belief that everyone has freedom of belief does not lead to the Holy Spirit. What bad reaction does the **** of light produce?"

Ophelia smiled: "People are still pursuing the Holy Light. With the core elements of the Holy Light, that is, guarding, exorcism, justice, and light as creeds, our temples have not been reduced, and the size of the church has not shrunk, even though we Replaced a lot of it, but... The Church of the Light is still the Church of the Light, isn't it?"

Gao Wen looked at Ophelia, who was smiling, but his heart suddenly thought of the obvious movements of the Church of the Light in the past few years, and the role of the Virgin Princess, the Virgin Princess, in the church. I didn’t see anything related to it, but at the moment it’s a little bit connected -

The rejection of heretical thoughts of the Church of the Light promoted the rapid development of the church, but it also led to the emergence of a large number of low-quality, poor-educated grassroots priests; the magical reforms reduced the threshold of the use of the Holy Light and expanded the size of the gods, but also Let the priests who are not good and the same can use the same magic, shaking the conviction of a large number of original devout cult Buddhist monks; the power of classical interpretation and morality led to the division of the lower and middle priests in the church, like Wright and Severn. Such a progressive priest is produced in this context...

These seem to be the natural changes that the church has caused after the development to its fullest, and the internal power splits. However... What if these “natural changes” have a pair of eyes that are full of scrutiny from the researchers?

If all this is to test something, such as ... test the "law of operation" of the gods, test the "personality boundary" of the gods?

No wonder Ophelia will actively cooperate with Wright's reforms to support Cecil's new policy - how can a researcher make a decision easily without enough experimental data? !

Ophelia just smiled faintly and looked at Gao Wen: "What are you thinking?"

“These are the “research results” you got in the Church of the Light?”

"If there is no gain, why should a hiccup stay in the enemy church for so long?"

Gao Wen’s gaze turned around and involuntarily fell on the Platinum Scepter in the hands of Ophelia. This Platinum Scepter has been in her hands since the fall of the former Pope, even though Wright’s Dharma She took over the Northern Church and she did not hand over the scepter.

This scepter was originally the possession of the pope. It is said to have the function of communicating with the kingdom of God and listening to the gods. It represents the bridge between God and man. However, due to the reform of the church, all the upper-level priests have been reorganized. The problem of this scepter has been It was thrown into the mind by people intentionally or unintentionally, but at this moment, it was reminiscent of the words that Ophelia had decided that the **** of the light did not "activate", but Gao Wen vaguely guessed one thing.

"Are you monitoring the state of the Holy Light? Passing this scepter?"

“Any experimental project needs to be closely monitored and recorded,” Ophelia raised her scepter slightly. “This is the attitude that researchers must have.”

Looking at the Platinum Scepter in the other hand, Gao Wen suddenly couldn't help but come up with an idea - do you want to try it yourself?

This thing seems to be able to establish a certain connection with the Kingdom of God. It can even be used to monitor the gods when used properly. Most people will be directly brainwashed into honest people when they touch it, but he is a hundred thousand or even millions of years. The satellite is very resistant to brainwashing--the experience of touching the eternal slate proves this. Now touch the Platinum Scepter... Should it be okay?

Will it be the same as touching the eternal slate, what others hear is the god, what you hear is another message from the super fleet, or even... something more unexpected?

At this moment, Gao Wen’s curiosity was suddenly ignited, and burning was difficult to suppress.

He even prepared for the violent operation on the spot.

But at the last moment, he still had a hard time to stop his curiosity, because he realized a huge hidden danger - the eternal slate is dead, and now the **** of the light is alive...

Although the **** seemed to have been killed once in ancient times, he is now mostly resurrected.

Do you rush to touch the Platinum Scepter, will it stimulate the Holy Light? The things that Ophelia and Wright are doing now can be said to be "stealing theocracy". The most important thing is that they can't stimulate the god. They are stunned by the **** of the light. Look at the world - what about my church? How big is a church?

The efforts of the rebellious people for a thousand years and the results of their own achievements are finished.

After forcibly controlling the impulse, Gao Wengan coughed twice to cover up the cockroaches, watching Ophelia say: "If the reform of the Church of the Light is successful, we will successfully shield the 'world bridge' without causing the attention of the gods. What are you going to do next?"

Ophelia calmly greeted Gao Wen’s gaze: “With this experience, transform all the beliefs of the world.”

As an ancient soul who has lived for a thousand years, she seems to have patience and time.

“The gods will really wait to be shielded by us? Although our transformation of the Church of the Light has not yet led to the activation of the Holy Light, but it is the day when all the gods and the mortal world are cut off, the gods Can it still react?"

Ophelia nodded slightly: "The operation of the gods is regular. Although the 'answering machine' conjecture put forward by a few scholars in the early days is not completely correct, it is close to a part of the truth, so just grasp it. With this law, we can bypass the sight of the gods in a relatively safe situation and complete the replacement and transformation of the faith.

"Secondly, according to our research results, although the power of the gods is not entirely derived from mortal beliefs, the transfer of mortal beliefs will indeed greatly weaken them, and if the "faith benchmark" of the mortal world is lost, the gods want again. On the other hand, mortals will become powerful because they regain the power of magic. On that day, the gods will not be unable to confront us... ”

The words behind her did not say anything, but the subtext is already obvious:

It was the day that the gods who came to the world...the evil spirits that invaded the mortal world from different worlds.

The Church of the World will fight back and fight in the name of faith.

This is the plan of the disobedient, but it is still not all of their plans, but only one of them.

It’s just this corner, it’s already amazing.

However, Gao Wen still believes that there is something wrong with this plan. There are too many variables that cannot be controlled. Even if everything is implemented smoothly, it will not be the best result.

At least at this stage, this plan still needs to be carried out - the transformation of the Church of Light is inevitable, whether for social stability or for the development of a new empire, he must ensure that this has the greatest influence in the country, The broadest sects of believers follow the laws and regulations of the “God of God”.

After talking about some details about the rebellious plan and the church transformation, Gao Wen slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"This is the case today. The topic of the rebellious plan is here," he leaned back on the chair. "I have to sort out the information. If I think about something, or if you think there is anything else, tell me." We will continue to talk."

"As you wish," Ophelia smiled. "But before I leave, I still have something."

"Oh? You said."

"It was the previous topic about church reform," Ophelia said. "The female priests in the church are currently in a better position... oh."
