Banner of the Evil God

For the common people, or for the lords?

Sui Xiong found that he seemed to have not thought about this question for a long time.

This should be a matter of course. Whether it is his moral values ​​as an earthling or the necessity of promoting the development of this world, he should think and act from the perspective of the common people.

But in recent years, especially with the demise of the Mystic God System and the comprehensive missionary work of the Void Mask God System in the Mystic Tower Federation, he has paid more and more attention to the missionary work and gradually shifted the focus of his work.

Even... even the focus of his thinking has changed.

Why does he want to help the lords prolong their lives? Just to expand the influence and spread the church?

In that case, why did he restrict the life-extending potion invented by the slime alchemist Wendy? Wouldn't it be better to directly launch the potion that can continuously prolong life in unlimited quantities? As long as he firmly grasps that potion, who of those old people dares to go against him?

He is not the same as he was before, and he is very confident. At least in the main plane, he is not afraid of any challenge and is fully capable of protecting the benefits brought by the longevity potion.

So, should he change his course and change direction?

Of course not!

What the hell is the life of those immortal lords? It’s none of his business!

It’s good that they support their church, but it doesn’t matter if they don’t. At most, they can wait for ten or eight years, or thirty or fifty years at most. Can they still be immortal!

When they die, the next generation of lords may not support the Church of the Void Mask. Even if the next generation does not support it, then they can wait for the next generation.

Maybe after a few generations, the lord family will be ruined. On the mainland, the general lord family will only last for five or six generations, and it will be almost ruined in one hundred to two hundred years.

There are various reasons for ruin, the most common of which is war, followed by political struggles. More than once, several heirs of a certain lord fought openly and secretly, and finally the conflict escalated to the point of killing each other, and then the direct heir died out, and the king was furious and let the other nobles who were related to his family inherit the territory.

Generally speaking, the king cannot interfere with the lord's inheritance rights. This is a rule and an unspoken rule recognized by all lords. But in cases like this, when the heirs are making a fuss and even the direct line is cut off, the king, as the leader of the lords, has the right to mediate and punish the family that is too much and breaks the rules - this is also a rule, and it is also an unspoken rule recognized by all lords.

Therefore, generally speaking, the struggle for the inheritance rights of the nobles will pay attention to the rules, and some mercy will be left for the losers, and their lives will not be hurt. However, as the family is passed down for a longer time, more and more conflicts accumulate, and in the end they often can't stop. So, a large family with a long history is almost at the end.

Of course, these things have nothing to do with Sui Xiong. He doesn't care whether the noble lords are prosperous or unlucky, whether their descendants are numerous or their families are broken. As an immortal god, he has no need to pay attention to these lords.

Most importantly, he doesn't want to pay attention to them.

In his opinion, lords are just like parasites, just sucking blood from civilians, and have no indispensable contribution to society - look at the earth, places without lords generally develop better than places with lords. Even if the former has oil under their feet, they have not developed a democratic and prosperous society, but instead a large number of weird and evil things have appeared.

The source of the terrorist organization that still maintains the values ​​and morals of the 7th and 8th centuries in the 21st century and eliminates all those who do not accept this old and stinking theory is the noble lords who are free and easy on the oil ocean.

Of course, there are enlightened and progressive lords in this world, and there are those who work hard to seek welfare for the people. But they could not establish their own practices, and could not ensure that their ideas and practices would be followed, passed down from generation to generation, or even promoted after their death. On the contrary, it is normal for the government to cease after the death of the person.

In the eyes of the descendants of those wise lords, other lords are living a life of debauchery, other lords are at ease, and other lords are rampant... Why should I be subject to all kinds of restrictions? Why should I restrain myself from enjoying myself? Why should I work hard?

So the bad money drove out the good money.

Sui Xiong felt that there was no solution to this problem. Anyway, he had never learned a solution from textbooks or the Internet. Even when he was in college, those professors who were well-versed in ancient and modern times could not think of any solution - oh, there is a way, their solution is revolution.

By the way, when Sui Xiong was in college, the two professors who had the greatest influence on him were a thorough humanist and a resolute Bolshevik...

Sui Xiong did not want to make a revolution in this world, he felt that he was not cut out for it. But he couldn't force himself to accept and like those guys who trampled on others' heads and lived a life of luxury.

That's why he was a little out of place in the republic, and he almost single-handedly created the first republic in the world and promoted its continuous progress.

So now, does he want to change?

Of course not!

Thinking of this, Sui Xiong couldn't help laughing.

"I've been taught a lesson..." he said with some self-mockery, "I thought I was a man with vision, but in fact, I am just a vulgar person after all."

After laughing, he bowed to the infinitely dark underworld, thanked him, and turned to leave.

The next day, all the temples and altars of the Church of the Void Mask received oracles.

The oracles reminded them not to ignore the core of His Majesty the Void Mask's teachings just because the current missionary situation is so good. It is important to remember that only by making the people happy can there be true development and progress, and it is the foundation of the Church of the Void Mask in the world. If the priorities are reversed for the sake of missionary work, then no matter how widely the faith is spread, it is equivalent to a failure.

This oracle shocked many high priests, and many people decided to reflect on their mistakes behind closed doors - because of the changes in the situation, many high priests are gradually shifting the focus of their work to the noble lords. They thought that as long as they could convince the lord to believe in His Majesty the Void Mask, the church would be able to spread rapidly, but they did not think that belief comes from identification. It is not easy for a high and mighty lord to truly identify with the concept of development and progress!

Even if the lord agrees, will he not change his mind in the future?

Even if he does not change, what about his descendants?

In comparison, it is much more reliable to let the people agree with this concept.

After all, the people will always have this demand.

For a time, the entire Void Mask Church began to make large-scale adjustments...

My head is starting to feel dizzy again, so I will stop writing here today...
