Heavenly Dao Formula

"Seeing that there is no hope of eradicating the evil spirits, Sedaro can only reluctantly withdraw from the Holy See area with the rest of his troops. There are still thousands of believers there, but I am afraid that they have all fallen into the hands of the evil gods." Alek said heavily. Said, "Based on the information obtained so far, the more you believe in the Sun God, the easier it is for you to have your soul taken away and turned into a demon."

Having said that, he looked at Taxis, "She is right. The church relies too much on the gods, and instead binds itself to the gods. If it weren't for the argument that Yongyi made on the temple, I would I think the damage from this crisis will be even greater.”

Xia Fan pondered, "Have you ever thought that Hera, the sun god, is not a natural existence, but a concept summoned by your daily prayers?"

He actually wanted to raise this question a long time ago.

After all, the church was born much earlier than the records of the gods.

It can be known from Taxis that Long Yi has always believed in the way of the sun, which also means that their original belief is actually the sun, and then transferred to the sun god Hera.

I didn't mention it before because this kind of issue is too "heretical". At the stage when the gods can be seen and touched, questioning the church's beliefs in person is at least an expulsion.

Alek was startled, "What do you mean?"

"In the cognition of Eastern practitioners, consciousness can affect the external environment through qi, and various spells are the concrete manifestation of this influence. I think the magic power and qi in the West Pole are essentially the same thing. When many demons possess When people have the same consciousness, this consciousness will be reflected in the world."

"The gods... were created by us?"

"Just like demons are born from consciousness." Xia Fan nodded.

This is probably the greatest characteristic of consciousness that can exist without the body—when it is strong enough, it can even change the entire world.

"Doesn't this mean...that any belief that develops to a certain level will cause disaster?" Alek said with difficulty.

"That's not necessarily the case. You can believe in some less specific things." Xia Fan said casually, "For example, good moral character, bright future, etc., should be able to avoid similar problems from happening again."

Of course, this is just his guess.

The gods didn't appear sooner or later, but they appeared in the world at this juncture a hundred years ago, which really made him a little concerned.

Originally thought that the collapse of the Yong Dynasty was only an internal matter in the mainland, but now with more understanding of the world, Xia Fan discovered that historic events took place in various places at the same time.

For example, the goddess of the moon who appeared almost at the same time as Hera.

And the eastern countries that have completely cut off contact with the mainland.

It is also a strange thing that the mage tower can use alchemy talismans-judging from the friendship between the six continents and the West Pole, the possibility of framed by this hand is very small.

He always felt that some intermediate information was deliberately buried.

The priest in red was lost in thought.

After a while, Alek showed bitterness, "I didn't expect that one day the church would need a foreigner to guide the direction."

"It's not a guide, it's just a discussion." Xia Fan shrugged, "What do you plan to do next? Take back the city of Hilla?"

"Now Sheila has become a place where the living are not allowed to enter. The magic lock technique originally intended to strengthen the effect of the gods in this world has now become a trap that makes it difficult for us to move forward; and without the blessing of the magic technique, the power of the believers is not as good as it is. At the beginning, even if all the troops of the church were transferred back to the capital, the outcome would be unpredictable." Alek didn't mean to shy away from it at all, "not to mention the enemies behind the scenes are still watching, if we use the rest of our strength to fight In the fight against demons, the Mage Tower will definitely not let go of this opportunity."

He paused, and then said, "I discussed with Captain Sedaro, the current priority is to resettle the residents who have escaped from Hilla. It is impossible for more than 100,000 people to go to one place, so we have to arrange for the surrounding lords to carry out Accept, as for the big head, I personally prefer Azure Fort. Of course, we will also pay attention to the situation of Xila, one is to avoid the continued expansion of the demon's domain, and the other is once the influence of the evil god disappears, we can occupy the city of Xila as soon as possible."

"A rational choice," Xia Fan nodded slightly, "I thought you would fight to the death with the blasphemous demons."

Alek sighed, "To tell you the truth, the morale inside the church has fallen to the extreme now, and it is not suitable to use fighting to unite the hearts of the people. In fact... If there are not a large number of people who have fled the capital and need our protection, the Central Committee I am afraid that the church will collapse directly."

"What about the Mage Tower? I don't think they'll wait for you to recover."

"Probably they will start from the northwest, which is the most densely populated area of ​​Fata." The red priest said calmly, "The next ten years will undoubtedly be the biggest challenge the church will face, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a decision of life and death. We may lose many of our territories, and we may even be expelled from the Holy Wing Islands entirely, but until then, we will not surrender."

When Alek turned back into a dragon and flew away from the White Sand, the sky was almost dusk.

That is definitely a rare sight in the world.

You can't see where the setting sun is in the sky, and the dim afterglow spreads evenly at the end of the field of vision, like a beautiful curtain. The Dragon Saliva River spreads into the distance in this soft light, reflecting golden ripples. Just looking at this scene will only make people feel peaceful.

But on the other side of the curtain, the sunset was suddenly cut off by a strange light and shadow mixed with black and red, and the entire sky seemed to be divided into two. Among them, black occupies a huge part, and only a few areas around the edge reveal a touch of scarlet. These bloody red threads outline the tulle, which is the death cloak worn by the gods.

Hera's body has disappeared, and it seems to be integrated with this celestial phenomenon, and the capital of Hera is shrouded in the shadow of black veil. In the distance, people can even see the tower of the cathedral, which is still tall, and the figure of the dragon descendant flying around the tower. They were the guardians of the sun god before, but now they have become the sworn enemies of the living.

Xia Fan withdrew his gaze and turned his gaze to the surrounding area of ​​Baisha.

The boats escaping from Hilla City almost filled the entire river, and the refugees on board looked at the direction of the capital anxiously, their eyes full of confusion about the future. No one knows when they can come back this time, but they have no choice.

Before that, the residents of the royal capital were praying for the coming of the gods.

What they want to pray now is probably to let the gods leave as soon as possible.

"That thing won't disappear by itself." Someone behind him suddenly said.

Xia Fan turned his head and saw Qian Yan and Li Zheng walking towards him.

The speaker is undoubtedly the living dead.

"Have you ever seen the same thing?" he asked.

"I've seen it before." Qian Yan said indifferently, "After the fall of Yongchao, similar evil-infested areas have appeared in the territories of the Six Nations. If no one interferes, it will always exist."
