- Chapter 636 Some things can be left to mortals, and some things absolutely cannot be done (12)
Underground temple.
As the god who has the most comprehensive information about the giant island, Rosen first expressed his views on this small and medium-sized soul ranch.
“According to the basic information obtained from the Intelligence Department, the average life span of mortals on Black Rock Island is about 45 years old.”
“It is divided into five stages, namely the infant stage before the memory of six years old, the growth stage from six to fourteen, the adult stage from fourteen to thirty-five, and the twilight stage after thirty-five.”
“The time is not long, and the total faith provided is naturally not enough.”
“But in fact, this is not the natural lifespan of mortals, but the result of the interaction between mortals and the social environment.”
“If the latter can be improved, especially the medical level of society, then the average life span of mortals can be increased to about 90 years.”
“As for a mortal, his body may grow, become stronger, or age, but from the age of 20 to before the age of 70, the strength of the soul remains at a fairly stable high level, providing a strong and stable power of faith.”
“Taking into account the cost of improvement, it would be most reasonable to control the average lifespan of a mortal at 70 years old.”
“If it’s too long, you’ll have to pay a huge amount of extra maintenance costs. If it’s too little, you’ll lose your faith income.”
“So, my personal idea is that our Logic God Alliance should not only care about the souls of mortals, but also take care of their physical health as much as possible, so as to maximize the role of a mortal believer.”
“After all, it takes ten months to give birth to a mortal body, and it takes a full 20 years for a mortal soul to fully grow. It is a pity to die so easily at the age of 45.”
The gods listened carefully.
After listening, Alandis said: “If we want to improve the medical level, we will inevitably have to interfere with the operation of mortal society.”
“This is inconsistent with the general principle of ‘the soul belongs to God and the world belongs to mortals’.”
The purpose of this major principle is to liberate the creativity of mortals. It was first proposed and implemented by the Queen of the Earth, and it has indeed had a huge effect, allowing a large number of talents and amazing intellectual achievements to emerge in the mortal world.
Therefore, in the God of Order camp, this principle is very respected by the gods and will not be violated easily.
Naturally, Rosen would not disobey, because it would be tantamount to slapping the Queen in the face, but he also had his own ideas.
He nodded: “There are indeed some discrepancies, but the general principle proposed by His Majesty is the most ideal state, requiring every mortal to control the world at a very high level.”
“But obviously, regardless of wisdom or ability, the vast majority of mortals cannot achieve this state.”
“Although most mortals like to claim to be intelligent beings, most of the time, mortals are irrational beings whose decisions are easily influenced by emotions.”
“Even the most rational mortal logic mage has many moments of loss of control, so the world is always filled with uncontrollable chaos.”
“In peacetime, there is no problem in doing so, but at the critical moment against the true god of darkness, this kind of chaos is unacceptable.”
“As mortal leaders, we must grasp some key secular areas in our hands to better control the direction of mortal society and prevent the devil from stealing the fruits.”
Logic mage Fasclaw feels this deeply.
“I completely agree with Master Rosen’s view. In fact, my view is more pessimistic.”
“I think most of the time, mortals are a group of unreasonable beings!”
“Of course, I also know that my opinion is a bit too extreme, but it will never be too far.”
He was a little emotional, probably deeply troubled in his mortal years.
Alandis concluded: “Then, the principle we need to follow should be to take good care of the bodies of mortals and keep them in a generally healthy state. We should also take good care of their souls so that they are not tempted by the devil.”
“As for other areas, leave it to mortals to decide?”
Rosen shook his head: “No, in addition to medical treatment, there are several fields that we must also firmly grasp.”
He looked around the gods: “From the general principles mentioned by Ms. Alantis, two important priesthoods can be logically derived.”
“The first is medical care. The second is education.”
“The former takes care of the body, and the latter is of greater significance. It not only protects the soul, but also improves the soul, strengthens the soul, and even awakens the soul.”
“If we do well in education, it will be our biggest source of competitiveness.”
“If excellent education lasts for up to three generations, the average soul strength of our ranch will be greatly improved, and the resistance to devil’s temptation will also be greatly improved. Naturally, we will also gain more power of faith, and even gain a large number of elite allies and numbers. Unclear fruits of wisdom.”
“Therefore, the priesthood of education is closely related to the entire future development of the ranch, and even determines whether we can ultimately win this expedition.”
All the gods nodded in approval to Rosen’s words.
Nova smiled and said: “A god of medicine, a god of education, full of the sense of refinement of the logic system, what else is there?”
Cedrana said: “I think there is a need for a god of war to lead mortals against the invasion of foreign enemies.”
All the gods nodded in approval.
In troubled times, the field of war cannot be left to mortals to determine themselves, and must be firmly grasped.
It can also be expected that in war years, the status of the God of War will be very high, and all other fields must serve the God of War.
Fasclaw said: “Then there are three priesthoods left.”
Rosen naturally thought about it carefully and then continued: “The greater the number of mortals, the more power of faith they provide.”
“As far as I know, the rate of dystocia among women on Black Rock Island and the rate of infant mortality are very high, with the latter even as high as two-thirds!”
“In addition, there are many illegitimate children on Black Rock Island. Under the influence of the forest god, the union of men and women is very casual.”
“This can be seen from the names of civilians, such as riverside, tree, sheepfold, horseback, etc.”
“Although having children out of wedlock greatly increases the fertility rate, it greatly hinders education and produces a large number of inferior believers, which is not cost-effective.”
“So, I think a dedicated god of marriage and fertility is needed to reduce the additional losses in this area. If this is done well, the population growth rate and population quality of the giant island can at least double.”
This was indeed very important, so all the gods nodded in approval.
Rosen continued: “Finally there are two priests, and I have preliminary ideas.”
“First, the guardianship.”
“Mortals are weak and their thoughts are often controlled by fear. When facing the devil, they are helpless. Even with the help of the Tower of Justice, they are by no means a match for the devil. If you are not careful, you will fall into the devil’s trap. “
“So, there needs to be a god who protects the souls of mortals to prevent the devil from taking advantage of them.”
This priesthood is equivalent to that of a mortal nanny.
“Second, the priesthood of death.”
“Mortals are mortal, but all mortals are afraid of death, and they are most easily tempted by the devil at this point. The establishment of the priesthood of death allows mortals to realize that death is not the end, but a new beginning, so that they can face the cycle of life and death calmly .”
Death has existed forever, and the importance of the death priesthood is naturally irreplaceable.
In this way, there are six very important priesthoods, which correspond to the six gods.
However, the six priesthoods alone cannot cover the entire social field, and there must be many additions.
After some discussion among the gods, many minor priesthoods were added, covering all aspects of mortal life from birth to death.
These minor priesthoods are naturally held by various gods.
In the end, it is time to determine the candidate for the priesthood.
Cedrana recommended herself.
“I hope to become the God of War. After all, I am good at fighting.”
“I also know that this priesthood is very important. During the war, the God of War will gain more power of faith, but the war cannot last forever, and this is also a reasonable reward for the huge risk of the God of War priesthood.”
To be honest, Cedrana, who has level 7.8 divine power and masters the laws of flames and destruction, is indeed the best candidate for the God of War.
Rosen said: “I have no objection.”
Other gods either do not have the confidence to rule this powerful priesthood, or they do not have the ability to compete with Cedrana.
Nova, the only capable person, is not interested in the God of War.
Finally, all the gods nodded in agreement.
Therefore, Sedrana is the God of War on the Black Rock Island, and also holds many minor priesthoods related to war.
Such as weapons, command, courage, etc.
Alantis also recommended himself: “I would like to become the god of marriage and fertility.”
This job is very important, but it involves dealing with women and children. It is tedious and tedious and requires a lot of patience.
Since she was willing to take over this burden, the other gods also nodded in approval.
Fasclaw said: “I am personally very interested in the alchemy of life, and I also know a lot about the alchemy of life. If you trust me, I am willing to become the God of Medicine.”
No one is trying to grab it, after all, this field is extremely professional.
It was Nova who spoke then.
“Death is the end of mortal life and the beginning of life in the Kingdom of God.”
“I have lived for so many years and have seen countless deaths, as well as countless mortals and gods before they die. I know that what people fear most is not death itself, but the unknown of death.”
“So, I am willing to serve as the God of Death.”
Indeed, no one is more suitable for this priesthood than her.
Finally, there are two priesthoods, namely guardianship and education.
Alandelli is very self-aware.
“My knowledge is far inferior to that of my mentor. I don’t want to be a priest of education. I will be a patron saint and focus on protecting the souls of mortals.”
He is Rosen’s apprentice, and Rosen has a clear understanding of his abilities.
Knowing that it would be difficult for him to do it all alone.
After all, there are tens of millions of mortals, so how can we protect them all?
As a mentor, I naturally want to help.
In fact, the gods of the old days were very careless in their management of believers.
Because there are tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of believers, and the maximum spellcasting ability of a god is only a thousand, it is difficult for even the most diligent god to achieve one-on-one parity with his followers.
Therefore, it is inevitable to leave many loopholes that can be exploited, and it is inevitable to fail believers and lead to the loss of faith.
Rosen naturally has a way to deal with this.
So, he said: “As the Logic God Alliance, our greatest reliance is our wisdom.”
“Through wisdom, things that were impossible before become possible.”
“As for the management of believers, I have learned from the experience of Dragon Blood Continent and specially developed an intelligent artifact that cooperates with the godhead, called ‘Faith Butler’, which should help you better manage believers.”
As he spoke, he condensed the spell book corresponding to the artifact and distributed it to the gods.
“According to my calculations, a small butler can help manage 10 million believers. If they form an array, there is no limit.”
This thing is the youth version of the desktop believer management program.
The functionality is about one-tenth of the full version.
The gods are no strangers to intelligent artifacts. After all, many mortal civilizations have independently invented corresponding magical artifacts.
But when I saw the spell book given by Rosen, I still felt a headache after reading it, because it was too professional and complicated.
Only Fasslau, who is also a logic mage, found a treasure. After browsing it quickly, he couldn’t help but pat the armrest of the chair.
“Aha~ With the help of this wonderful artifact, the godhead can be truly complete!”
Otherwise, God will either act as a around-the-clock nanny for believers, or else He will not manage things properly and lose a lot of faith in vain.
Of course, other gods are not stupid, and they will definitely think of similar ways to improve efficiency.
But the Godhead of Faith was designed by Rosen, and it is definitely the auxiliary artifact given by Rosen, the designer, that is the most useful.
In the end, only the priesthood of education remained.
The importance of this priesthood is self-evident, as it directly determines the upper limit of the ranch’s divine power income.
Rosen is certainly well-deserved for this priesthood.
“Then I am the God of Education.”
The gods had no doubts about Rosen’s ability, and naturally they all agreed at this time.
At this point, the six main priesthoods have been assigned, and the positions of some related minor gods have been discussed and assigned, so the division of labor among the gods has been completed.
But this only clarifies the responsibilities, and how to do it specifically needs to be discussed by the gods together to achieve synergy and make the mortal society an organic whole with an orderly division of labor and cooperation, rather than being separated from each other.
However, this matter cannot be done behind closed doors. It must be combined with reality and prescribe the right medicine.
Rosen said: “The Forest God Ino has twelve mortal saints, and there is one in White Deer City called White Deer Saint Meng Qili. Ask her for help.”
Just as she was about to summon White Deer Saint Meng Qili, Nova suddenly said:
“Wait a minute, we haven’t built the kingdom of God to house the souls of death believers yet.”
When a believer dies, his soul returns to God. This is also a very important source of divine power, which is approximately equivalent to ten years of faith for a living person.
Nature cannot be ignored.
It used to be sent to the resting place of the Kingdom of Earth, but now the Queen has introduced a new policy. During the expedition, 90% of the souls will self-determine, so the placement of the souls has become a problem.
Rosen has his own kingdom of time and space where the souls of believers can be placed, but other gods do not and will not create a divine realm.
There are currently two ways the gods deal with this.
The first is the idea of building a Kingdom of God under the earth. To put it simply, it is to dig a huge pit underground and pretend to be an independent world.
Obviously, this huge hole cannot be dug too big, and the world disguised as a divine power cannot be very beautiful. It is also difficult to guarantee safety. It can only be said that it can be used.
The second is to build a large artifact with illusions inside to design a new world.
The kingdom of God designed by this method is very beautiful, and it requires a lot of divine power to maintain, and it can easily collapse if you are not careful.
In terms of cost performance, it is much worse than the first one.
Rosen asked: “Do you think it is the underground divine kingdom? Or the illusion divine kingdom?”
After some discussion, everyone unanimously decided to use the underground divine kingdom and then decorate it a little with illusions.
The reason is to save divine power.
Rosen said: “Then let’s divide the work and cooperate. One part will build the Kingdom of God, and the other part will contact the White Deer Saints.”
After a little discussion, Rosen, Nova, and Alantis went to find the White Deer Saint, while the other three gods went to dig a ‘giant hole’ underground.
Meng Qili has been completely subdued. After the soul was summoned, she answered all questions and was very cooperative.
Because the main body of the Logic Cult has already been discussed, Meng Qili’s role is to perfect the details.
This matter was very tedious and boring. After asking for a while, Alandis and Nova found an excuse to dig a hole underground, leaving Rosen alone to communicate with Meng Qili.
No way, who makes Rosen a patient and meticulous gentleman?
After some exchanges, Rosen gained a very in-depth understanding of the mortal society on the Black Rock Island, and he also made a promise to Meng Qili.
“From this moment on, our logic gods will be the guardians of the Black Rock Island. We respect the tradition left by the forest god Yinnuo.”
“In the future, the giant island will change, but it will be gradual, leaving time for mortals to adapt.”
“Our greatest hope is to make the Black Rock Island more prosperous, not chaotic and withered. I hope Ms. Meng Qili can rest assured about this.”
Meng Qili was really worried that this new god was bright on the outside but dark on the back. Now that she heard this, she felt relieved.
Then he said respectfully: “Great ones, it is the supreme honor of the giant island to be protected by you. We are willing to cooperate with the great ones to protect the prosperity and tranquility of the giant island.”
Thus, gods and mortals reached a contract.
The future path of Black Rock Island has been initially determined.
In the following time, the logical gods began to transform this new soul pasture in an orderly manner.
The wheel of time, which had stalled for a moment, began to move forward rapidly again.
In the blink of an eye, another two years have passed.
It may not have been long, but the Black Rock Island has begun to sprout prosperity that has never been seen in the past.
Everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, and everyone has peace of mind and happiness.
The direct manifestation is that within two years, the number of newborns exceeded 6 million every year, while the number of deaths was less than 1 million.
As a result, the number of believers increased from 40 million to 50 million, and the power of faith provided was pure and stable.
The income was so high and stable that even Rose Lady Nova, who had seen the big scene, was very surprised and began to really pay attention to the soul pasture of Black Rock Island.
Naturally, Rosen, the god of education, has also gained a large number of devout believers among the people.
Under the new faith mode, a mortal can devoutly believe in several gods.
As a result, within two years, the number of close connections between Rosen’s followers increased to an astonishing 60 million.
Among them, the Black Rock Island has 40 million, and the Time and Space Continent that has been in operation for six years has reached 20 million.
At the same time, Rosen’s body was quietly promoted to powerful divine power, reaching level 7.0.
But it was silent.
Because he is working hard to create a youth version of the Source of All Laws to achieve complete safety and freedom.
In addition, the overall situation of the expedition is also quite good.
The four powerful gods of Amitel have gained a firm foothold, and other fronts also present a strategic stalemate and overall dominance.
Rosen originally thought that he would develop followers step by step on the Black Rock Island and successfully create the Source of All Laws.
But after this calm lasted for another month, a shocking event suddenly broke out in the Eight Realms.
This matter was so big that even Rosen, who had become a powerful god, felt a little bit frightened.
News came back from the front line of the expedition.
Dadalit succeeded in becoming a powerful god, but at the same time, he also degenerated into a demon.
And his corruption and betrayal directly led to the fall of Storm God Tyrod, the 7.7-level powerful god of the Kingdom of Nature.
The battlefield of the Storm God is one of the main battlefields of the expedition, the Seventh Moving Star Thrandis, and the Wind Flower Continent.
The powerful gods fell, and the war situation collapsed instantly, causing 7 medium gods and 20 weak gods to be killed, 5 medium gods, and 18 weak gods degenerated into demon gods.
The Fenghua Continent completely fell into the hands of the Chaos Demon, and Thrandis’s strategic posture was forced to shift from offense to defense.
This is also the first powerful god of order to fall since the expedition, and it is also the most disastrous failure.
When the news came out, the soldiers of the Emerald Green Expedition were shocked!
As for Rosen, he immediately recognized the opportunity after regaining his composure.
“This is a good opportunity for me to intervene on the frontline battlefield and gain more followers!”
His current Heart of God level is correct, but the management authority of the Source of All Laws is still level 6.7.
Because the authority of the Source of All Laws is only related to the number of devout believers, 60 million believers correspond to level 6.2 divine power.
The minimum standard for believers in powerful divine power is 300 million!
Therefore, the more believers, the better.
In addition, in the near future, he will be completely independent, and he can also start to build up his reputation and build up his fortune in advance.
However, those big soul pastures with huge expected profits are all occupied by powerful gods and cannot be squeezed in.
Now that one was freed up, he just made up for it!
