Chapter 1102： Theocracy

In this two-way locked cage, gods, like humans, are one of the victims of the cold laws of nature. This is not only Gao Wen’s characterization of the matter, but also all the people who participated in the disobedience plan and understood all the inside information so far. The consensus reached, even the former high-level rebels, Carmel and Veronica/Ophelia, have now agreed with Gawain's views.

For the representatives present, the greatest emotion in their hearts at this moment is not the nature of the incident, but the fact that the supreme gods have become the "victims" of something—this kind of perception The huge subversion on the Internet has complicated the expressions of all people. The cognition they have developed since birth makes them instinctively think that this statement is somewhat absurd, but the irrefutable facts make them have to admit these things in front of them. .

"Well, the gods are victims... I don't think anyone has thought of this theory, but since it is a fact, we have to admit it," Paladin Huishanyan, the plenipotentiary ambassador from Forge City, stood from his seat. When he got up, his voice was low and powerful, as if the sound of a boulder rolling from the cave, "Then what can we mortals do? If this is a contradictory cycle that even the gods can't break away..."

"God is saving ourselves, of course we must save ourselves," Gao Wen replied calmly, "We are facing a path that has no choice. In the face of natural laws, there are no options for surrender and detour, and cold laws will not. Care about the personal wishes of mortals-either solve this problem, or everyone will die, even the gods who shelter the world, they will also die.

"It’s not that this kind of thing has never happened. The dragon's records can prove that civilizations that have been destroyed during the development process are like grass in the wind, and they cannot survive one after another.

"So we have to save ourselves, and this is essentially a self-salvation of mortals and gods working together-although due to certain factors, we cannot communicate directly with the gods, and cannot directly cooperate with the gods, but since we have some Laws, this kind of "self-help" is theoretically feasible."

"The common self-saving of mortals and gods..." Under the banner symbolizing Tarrond, Melita Penha subconsciously raised her head. She looked at Gawain, who was speaking solemnly, with a bit of astonishment. Subconsciously repeating the other party's conclusion just now-in her long memory, this is the boldest and even the most arrogant speech she has ever heard from the ordinary people, but this boldly almost arrogant statement is like a lightning bolt It lighted up in her heart. For some reason, she suddenly thought of the scene when she was summoned by the Dragon God for the last time. She thought of the eyes of the **** who once looked at her gently. She felt that she understood something, but this feeling Soon it flowed away like water in her heart.

"Help yourself together..." Rosetta Augustus murmured a few words softly, his brows frowned slightly, but soon he gradually relaxed, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he knocked He knocked on the stone table in front of him, and he seemed to be muttering to himself very happily, "As expected of you, I really dare to say it..."

"How are we going to save ourselves?" The leader of the Union of Northern City-States broke the silence. The tall man looked into Gawain's eyes, "You have already thought of a specific plan?"

"The connection between gods and people is based on'thinking trends', and this is a long-term and subtle influence. We cannot roughly cut it off, and we cannot rely on the execution of a few powerful countries to make'partial cuts'. The safest and most feasible way is to carry out a controllable'mind release' movement throughout the world, to carry out a comprehensive, orderly and safe'unbinding'," Gao Wen nodded in response, "Based on this, I It is proposed to establish a special organization, the "theocracy council".

“The Theocracy Council can be regarded as the spiritual continuation of the rebellious plan in the Gondor era, but the specific operation mode and the methods adopted have been changed according to modern conditions. The fundamental goal of the Theocracy Council is to eliminate the potential danger of the'divine disaster'. It is planned to be composed of the following departments: theological research institute, theocratic arbitration tribunal, theocratic planning agency, the anti-disaster countermeasures agency...

"The Theological Research Institute is the main technical department. It has a series of facilities such as various **** analysis laboratories, theological knowledge bases, and divine material storage warehouses. Its responsibility is to analyze all the knowledge related to the gods, including its birth mechanism and operation. Mechanism, extinction mechanism, out-of-control mechanism, from theory to technology, establish a set of system tools that are understandable, accessible and applicable to mortals;

"The Theocracy is used to interface with the specific Holy See. Its duty is to ensure that the order of the various denominations is controllable, to ensure that the series of plans formulated by the Theocracy are thoroughly implemented, to rule on orthodox and cult behaviors, and to rule on legal and illegal gods. Depending on the situation of each country, the arbitration tribunals may operate as secret agencies, but in any case, it must function effectively...

"The Theocracy is responsible for formulating a series of plans for'adjustment' to ideological trends and theocracies. Its members are all of you present here, and it has another part of the seats that will be reserved for church leaders of various denominations in the future-this is what I must One point to emphasize. We are not trying to fight or eliminate any legal and useful church, let alone eliminate the gods behind them. This is a joint self-saving, so church leaders who are willing to cooperate are also our natural allies. We must To win the active support of various sects, let them realize the seriousness of the problem...

"Of course, if some people are unwilling to support, then we have to find a way to make them willing-it is a matter of life and death for all, unfortunately, there are some things that cannot be discussed.

"The Divine Disaster Countermeasures Agency is an extremely important'disaster response unit'. They will directly apply cutting-edge technology from the Institute of Theology to directly fight against gods who have a tendency to lose control or even have begun to lose control. This is the second point I want to emphasize: Although the gods are the same as us as victims, this is limited to the gods before they lose control. Once the gods lose control, their actions will no longer be controlled by their subjective consciousness. They will evolve into unconscious natural disasters, like a tsunami. An earthquake is like an earthquake, and we must firmly eradicate this kind of disaster... Just as Augustus and I did on the battlefield of Winterhold, as the dragons did in Tarrond..."

Gawain slowly said his plan, and behind every word and sentence, there are countless people's contributions-from the research group led by Carmel to the continuous observation and accumulation of Veronica for 700 years. From the data that comes to the End of All Things and the lessons accumulated by the Eternal Sleeper and the Children of the Storm on the wrong path, and even to the knowledge that the Augustus family "stolen" at the expense of several generations of lives in the past two hundred years, Even going back to more than a thousand years ago, going back to the first rebels... In this arduous journey that spanned ten centuries, the scattered fragments accumulated by mortals finally gradually merged into shape, becoming this vow The voice echoed in the stone ring.

The leader of the gray elves from the Ogure tribal nation stood up. The short lady stepped on her chair indifferently: “In terms of the specific actions of controlling thoughts and interfering with the operation of the gods, there are relatively clear Your plan?"

"Yes, according to the information we currently have, it is feasible to guide the whole people in the fields of culture, thinking, and belief activities," Gao Wen nodded. "Specifically, it includes a large-scale education and popularization to reduce people's awareness of gods. The habitual reliance on the habitual re-interpretation of the theological classics reduces the blindness of the public’s belief...

Gawain explained patiently, and as he told his story, nearby Rosetta Augustus and Bersetia also nodded slowly: they are no strangers to what Gawain is saying at this moment.

"I have another question." After Gao Wen finished explaining, Wenna Baizhi still did not sit down, her expression became more serious. "After our series of measures took effect, we weakened the public and the public at all levels. After the connection between the gods...how will the gods be affected? After losing so much support of faith, will they really not die?"

Facing the doubts of the gray elf leader, Gao Wen's expression became solemn.

He was not surprised by this question-the Ogure tribe has always been a country that values ​​traditions very much, and they have unique belief activities that have a profound impact on their own society. Among the high mountains of the tribe, many different races They all believe in a variety of gods, including the main righteous gods on the mainland, as well as the mountain gods they believe in. People in this country have different things to their gods than people in other places. Deep feelings, so facing the series of "theocracy reform plans" proposed by Gao Wen, the gray elf leader must have doubts in his heart.

"They will not die-I can guarantee that," Gao Wen looked into Wenna Baizhi's eyes, and said solemnly, "Unless you are in the early stage when the thoughts are not yet formed and the spiritual body is unstable, otherwise A normal **** who has been worshipped by believers for a long time and has the ability to deliver miracles will not die after the chain of faith is broken. After they are formed, they will form a stable self-circulation, and their power will be controlled and will no longer continue. Dissipate, even if the connection of faith is interrupted, they will only stop growing or undergo a certain degree of decline-this is better than going mad or dying."

Wenna Bai Zhi couldn’t help asking: "Has this been confirmed?"

Confirmation...How is confirmation? Anyway, the big white deer in the backyard has been playing online every day recently, and his spirits are getting better and better every day. Moreover, according to the report sent two days ago, there might be a goddess who is rubbing the net in the backyard-half a year has passed since the funeral of that sister, and now she is robbing the remote control with the **** of nature every day. Like dying...

But this kind of evidence cannot be said outside. Although it is all facts, speaking it out will quickly reduce the seriousness of the entire meeting and even the credibility of all the previous information. Gao Wen can only think about it in his mind. Thinking, his face still maintains a solemn expression: "There are actual observations, but at this stage it cannot be made public."

Wenna Baizhi looked at Gao Wen, and after a few seconds she breathed out gently, her expression relaxed, and she sat back on the chair: "I understand. But I hope I can get more from the shared information later. Empirical evidence."

Gao Wen nodded and scanned the audience: "The Theocracy is no less significant than the community alliance we just established. It requires the close cooperation of all member states, the sharing of knowledge and technology, and the cost input of all countries. Establishing a united front equivalent to a'joint alert circle', and it is difficult for us to get the same visible economic or political gains as the establishment of a circum-continental route. Of course, this benefit will appear sooner or later, but it is destined not The fundamental purpose of the theocracy.

"The biggest benefit it brings to us is only'survival' itself.

“It’s not easy to make a decision. Next, each of us will have ample opportunities to speak. Who agrees, who opposes, and who still has questions... Everyone speaks freely. I only hope one thing: under the solemn banner of each country, we don’t have Any reservations."

……

In the chaotic and gloomy courtyard of the Rebellious Fortress, the light and shadow projected by the terminal of the magic net and the faint white brilliance of the giant deer Amorn’s body are combined, creating a light that is not bright but feels reassuring in this dark and gloomy place.

Mirmina, who was covered with magical clouds and mist, watched intently at the magical drama screen displayed on the holographic projection, until the music sounded and the list appeared, she couldn't help but muttered softly: "Why did the apprentice master last? I have to die... the scriptwriter is really ruthless..."

Amoen, who was closing his eyes and rested his mind, ignored the old **** who had watched four magical dramas in a row. It took a while before he suddenly opened his eyes and said casually, "What are you talking about now?"

Milmina didn’t react for a moment: "They? Who? Those craftsmen in the previous play?"

"...Take your brains out of the magic movie, they are about to rot and mold, ma'am," Amone seemed to sigh, "I'm talking about that meeting-you are not curious that they will be there. What's the last talk?"

Milmina turned her head, her eyes filled with arcane brilliance narrowed slightly, and a moment later she chuckled softly: "You have been away from the material world for three thousand years, still can't let go of the children?"

"Elves can live for a long time, and some children may still be alive now... But the world has become something they cannot adapt to, and after this meeting, it will change more rapidly," Amone said slowly. His gaze fell on Milmina, "Are you just letting go of it carelessly? Even if most of the world is just your shallow believers and pan believers..."

"I don't care, they all wrote the mage apprentice to death...my little Ravencrest..."

"...Don't blame the playwright, it was adapted from real events, you should read the introduction before the show."

"I know, so I am even more angry..."

The courtyard was quiet for a while, and after a few seconds of silence, Amone’s voice broke the silence: “Actually, I always wanted to say, do you feel your humanity... Recently, you have been'awakened' more and more rapidly Now? You are thinking almost like a mortal now, with such distinct emotions, anger, sorrow, and joy. Although this may be a good thing,...this is not like the speed you originally expected."
