Banner of the Evil God

Faith is a very serious matter. Saying "I believe" or "I don't believe" does not count. Only recognition from the heart can be transformed into faith.

To take an extreme example, Sui Xiong's subordinate Qiao Xiu was once a tribal chief of the northern ice barbarians. Now he has transformed into a half-dragon and is continuing to work hard to "give birth to enough offspring to form a tribe." He The goddess who hates the snowfields and blizzards of the North, but also believes in this goddess devoutly. Strong faith and strong hatred merged into a deep curse.

This is faith. Even if you hate this god, you may not be unable to believe in him. There is no conflict between the two.

Similarly, although the followers of the Harvest Goddess respect and are grateful to Sui Xiong who saved them and is willing to give them eternal opportunities again, this alone is far from enough if they want to change their faith.

The key to the problem is still "identity".

Generally speaking, to identify with a god, you must first understand the other person’s teachings and ideas, and then compare them with your own ideas. If you can find a point of agreement between the two, you can initially reach a belief. The more points of agreement, the stronger the belief. strong. If you come to the point where you believe that the other party is right in everything and completely give up your own ideas, you are the so-called "devout believer". And if you go one step further and believe that only the ideas of your own god are correct, and all other ideas that conflict with it are wrong, then you are a "fanatic believer".

Of course, Sui Xiong does not expect to convert the fanatic followers of the Harvest Goddess into his own followers. This is actually impossible. Those fanatic believers still gather together every day and pray continuously, as if the Harvest Goddess has not yet fallen. Seeing how they clearly knew there was no hope but didn't give up at all, Sui Xiong didn't think they would change their beliefs.

To imagine that they will convert is an insult both to their piety and to one's own intelligence.

What is better than fanatic believers are devout believers. Although they fully accept the concept of the Harvest Goddess, they can at least admit the fact that the Harvest Goddess has fallen. Faced with a hopeless situation, many people begin to reflect and think about their own Is there any room for adjustment and improvement in the concept?

Of course, most of them are still the same, either praying with the fanatic believers, or mourning silently, waiting for death to come. Sui Xiong had no intention of disturbing their rest, so he just let it go.

As for those who were willing to reflect and change, they, like ordinary believers, began to learn doctrines from Sui Xiong's pastors. However, Sui Xiong's teachings are really not very good at telling the truth. These professionals started to give opinions as they learned, and many of their opinions were actually very pertinent and valuable.

Sui Xiong was overjoyed and held a special seminar. At the seminar, he personally introduced his ideas of "development" and "progress", hoping that everyone would start from these two fundamentals and come up with a complete set of feasible teachings.

The seminar lasted for almost two months. At the beginning, everyone was very polite. Pastor Sui Xiong was very polite when he spoke. The followers of the Harvest Goddess were also a little restrained. Later, as the exchange of opinions became more direct and in-depth, everyone His voice became louder and louder, his reserve became less and less, and finally it even got to the point of fistfights.

If Sui Xiong hadn't been there to control the situation, both sides would have been beaten to death. Who knows how tragic it would have been!

But such intense exchanges are also very helpful for the advancement of ideas. Not only was it of great benefit to the improvement of doctrine, but Sui Xiong himself felt that it had benefited a lot.

The followers of the Harvest Goddess who have lived for thousands or even tens of thousands of years have an extremely high level of understanding and grasp of this world. Although their knowledge and talents are far inferior to those of the gods, who can assemble such a luxurious lineup of thousands of gods to help them discuss and improve their doctrines? Neither can the Lord of Order!

With such an unprecedentedly powerful discussion group, Sui Xiong's teachings were quickly adjusted and improved. When the seminar was over and the new teachings were compiled, not only were both parties involved in the discussion very satisfied, but even Sui Xiong himself They were all shocked. .

Oh, there are also people who are not satisfied with it, for example, an old black dragon who is hiding in an underground cave and studying this teaching.

It thought for a while and sneered: "Yes, I am inherently evil, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!"

"The resources in the world are unlimited, but at the same time, the resources that a society can control are limited. One of the most important sources of all kinds of contradictions and conflicts is the competition for resources. My Lord believes that instead of Instead of thinking about competing for resources, we should strive to develop new resources or improve the utilization of existing resources. This is the essence of the 'development' concept."

"This sounds interesting... To me, instead of competing with others for underground caves, why not dig it myself?" The old black dragon pondered for a while and shook his head, "That would be so troublesome! If others have ready-made ones, I will grab them. , it’s much easier!”

After saying that, it spit out flames and burned the "Teachings of the Church of the Mask of the Void" to ashes. With a flash of light, it transformed into a half-human, half-dragon incarnation and disappeared into the void.

After a while, a dark, cold and quiet world hidden in darkness, as if it would never see the light of day, welcomed a visitor.

"Welcome to your visit." said an astonishingly tall figure wearing heavy armor. Even if he stood up to greet the guests, he did not reveal his true appearance and was still a black shadow.

The incarnation of the Cave God forced a smile and asked: "Is your Majesty here? I have a big matter to discuss with Him."

"If you want to be an enemy of Mask of the Void, then there is no need to discuss it." A short and old figure walked slowly, followed by a shadow that was clearly approaching all the way, but his presence was not felt at all.

"...What does this mean?" The Cave God frowned, "Have you ignored His Majesty the King of the Night?"

"It's not a pretense, this is what His Majesty meant." The figure wearing heavy armor replied, "Your Majesty believes that there is no substantial conflict between us and Mask of the Void. On the contrary, there is room for cooperation. So He does not want to participate. Any action against it.”

"...Then, if we want to be enemies with Him, you might help Him in turn?" The Cave God asked coldly.

"This is our secret." The old figure agreed with a smile.

After the cave god left angrily, a majestic figure appeared next to the three slave gods.

"It seems that many people can't sit still." He said, "Our old acquaintance's move this time is a bit big!"

"But his teachings are very good, and I think they are of great reference value." The old figure said.

"Yes! If we could meet Him before becoming a god, maybe our Dark Night God System would be much stronger than it is now!" The majestic figure smiled slightly, "But it's not too late now, isn't it that he has a good relationship with the celebration boy? Well, let’s use this relationship.”

He turned to look at the tall figure: "I'll leave this matter to you, how about it?"

The tall figure seemed a little uncomfortable, but in the end he lowered his head and accepted the order.
