Banner of the Evil God

"I have never understood before why so many wise and wise people cannot avoid the step of ideological struggle. Obviously we can seek common ground while reserving differences and develop together, but why do most of them end up resorting to violence in the end?"

Sui Xiong looked at the sea where the fight was going on, the shells and sparks were flying, and the fighter planes were all black smoke, and he said thoughtfully: "Now, I understand a little bit."

Crick smiled and said: "In fact, I have understood these principles for a long time, but understanding and 'knowing' are two different things. Without personal experience, knowledge cannot be truly transformed into understanding."

"Yes! How difficult it is to go from knowledge to understanding!" Sui Xiong sighed, waved his tentacles, turned around and flew away.

After a while, he came to the conference room of the Kingdom of God.

The Void God System and its allies all have incarnations stationed here. Seeing him coming in, Veyer, the god of pleasure, hurriedly asked: "Oscar, why did you suddenly send down such an oracle?"

Sui Xiong was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is there anything wrong with that oracle?"

"Of course there is a problem!" Weyer took a deep breath and said, "Do you know when a god will generally issue an oracle like this?"

"Ah? Others would do this?" Sui Xiong asked in surprise.

"Of course! This is a level that many gods have to pass. Only when you can pass this level can you truly enter the world of 'true gods' and truly have the qualifications of 'eternity'."

Sui Xiong's eyes widened - jellyfish's eyes were already big, and at this moment, his body was almost completely occupied by two eyes. It seemed that he really interpreted the word "shock" vividly.

"You guys never told me!"

"Who would start doing such a thing so early!" Wei Ye sighed, "Generally speaking, it takes about the first hundred years after the god is officially canonized, before the god needs to reflect on the policies of his church and himself. Are there any deviations between the teachings? Are you starting to think about whether to adjust the teachings to suit the actual situation, or to rectify the church? But look at you, you haven't even officially become a god, and you are already busy with this..."

"This is the gap!" Morani, the steel lion who is almost the boss of the orcs and wild beasts and has recently subdued several demigods, sighed, "It took me almost three hundred years to realize that To this problem. Then you rectified the church and organized the team of the Savage God Department... It only took you a short fifty years!"

"He didn't even use it for fifty years." Joel Gardman, the God of Justice, said, "The Church of the Mask of the Void really developed about forty years ago. Before that, this 'church' was just a group of people. It’s just a messy organization similar to mercenaries.”

"The main reason is that you have grown too fast!" Morani said. "In just a few decades, your church has become a very influential large organization in the main plane. There are probably hundreds of thousands of believers, or even And the entire Northwest Republic is the foundation - now you have indeed reached the stage of being 'influenced by faith'."

As they said that, they couldn't help but shook their heads, feeling depressed that they didn't look at things carefully enough and could only realize it later.

But Sui Xiong didn't think there was anything wrong with them, but was even more confused.

Unlike ordinary gods, he does not absorb the power of faith, but converts them into divine power to feed back to believers as priests, priests and paladins' divine magic. In the kingdom of God, there is a special altar of divine power responsible for this work. The huge accumulated divine power has even turned into a bright crystal. If Sui Xiong hadn't blocked its light, it would probably look like a crystal. The sun sets so brightly on the ground.

Since I have never absorbed the power of faith, why would I be affected by the power of faith?

This is like a person who believes in Buddhism and eats vegetarian food. What does it have to do with his neighbor eating meat?

Unless he believes in one of those "if you don't believe it, I'll die working hard" style cults, it should have no impact no matter how you look at it.

He hesitated for a while and finally told his situation.

The gods were also surprised by this - since they do not absorb the power of faith, they naturally should not be affected by the power of faith. But Sui Xiong's previous situation clearly showed signs of being affected by the power of faith. Why is this happening?

They discussed for a long time, and finally the War Lord Wenner made a guess that was more convincing to everyone.

He believes that although Sui Xiong does not absorb the power of faith, he will still accept the prayers of believers and respond to them. During this process, Sui Xiong was constantly in contact with the will of the believers, feeling the joys, anger, sorrows and joys of the believers, and was affected unknowingly.

This effect does not distort his will like being contaminated by the power of faith, but reduces the sanctity of his soul, making him gradually move closer to a "human" perspective, and slowly lose the detached attitude that a god should have.

Fortunately, because Sui Xiong was not contaminated by the power of faith, once he realized that he had made a mistake, he could immediately correct it without any hesitation or hesitation.

"In general, your method is indeed very good. The only drawback is that it costs too much." Wenner concluded in the end, "The power of faith is one of the main sources of the power of our gods, but you don't know how to do it at all." Absorb it, which will make your normal accumulation of divine power much slower than that of other gods."

"Looking at His appearance, I really don't see what's so 'slow' about him..." Wei Ye muttered, "If He can be considered 'Slow', wouldn't I be just like a dog..."

"How can a genius be treated by mortal standards?" Wenner snorted and said, "The leader of the alliance is a peerless genius rarely seen in ancient and modern times. If it weren't for his refusal to absorb the power of faith, he would definitely be much more powerful than he is now!"

"Okay, okay, I'm already strong enough, I don't need to be 'much stronger'." Seeing that they were about to quarrel, Sui Xiong hurriedly advised, "Now that the matter has been determined, let's consider the follow-up... You guys said, Should I use this incident as an opportunity to straighten out the atmosphere in the church and unify our thinking?"

Gods, you look at me, and I look at you. Finally, the Lord of War Wenner, who has the largest church among them, said: "Isn't what you are talking about...a little too far away?"

"distant?"

"In a church, there are all kinds of people with all kinds of ideas, and various factions will form." Wenner said, "Perhaps you will think that this hinders the efficiency of the church. It may cause meaningless internal friction, and may even have a bad impact when doing things. But have you ever thought that there may be something valuable in various different thoughts and tendencies; maybe you are wrong now. The idea will be correct at some point in the future... If you reject them all, although it will make your church more pure and solid now, it will also reduce the possibility of its comprehensive development, as well as its future resistance to risks and The ability to transform.”

After Sui Xiong heard this, he remained silent.

Wenner's words were spoken from the bottom of his heart. If we don't have enough friendship, don't expect him to mention this to others. These are the life experiences of our predecessors, and they are more precious treasures than any other.

But...does he really want to follow Wenner's suggestion and create a church that "can embrace all rivers and let a hundred flowers bloom"?

He thought about it for a long time and finally shook his head.

"That might be nice, but it's not what I want."
