Save the Bachelor of Heaven

The First World War lasted for seven years, and the WTF led by Britain, the United States, and Prussia finally won the war and monopolized the markets in Africa, India, and the Middle East. Although there was no military colonization, economic colonization was achieved.

This kind of colonization is more dangerous and more difficult to get rid of than military colonization.

Prussia also dismembered Austria and annexed Holstein, Nassau, Hesse, Frankfurt and other regions, thereby establishing the German Confederation.

Although Italy was defeated, it also annexed Sicily and Sardinia during the war and became a unified republic.

After Russia was defeated, some areas were also divided by Poland, and many domestic monopoly companies were divided by the victorious countries such as Britain and the United States because of war reparations.

It is worth mentioning that because the main battlefield was in Europe, North and South America and Asia were not affected. Instead, they took advantage of the opportunity of the near stagnation of the European industrial economy during the war to develop their own economy, so they also benefited indirectly.

It’s just that the victorious countries such as Britain, the United States, and Germany received a lot of war reparations and divided up a lot of markets because of their victory in the war.

Especially the United States Federation, its homeland was not affected by the war, and it received a large amount of war reparations, which made it leap to become a top power and greatly increased its national strength.

In this way, Central and South America and Asia will face stronger opponents, and the prospects are not very optimistic.

...

Xiang Nan himself also benefited greatly.

More than 40 million people died in the seven-year war, plus more than 300 million believers died of old age, illness, and natural death. One tenth is 30 million.

In addition, Xiang Nan has absorbed more than 100 million souls in the entire 19th century and 100 years.

This makes his soul strength reach an extremely high level. Once it covers a radius of 3,000 miles, he can clearly sense it.

And Xiang Nan has even been able to achieve the soul out of the body.

The soul out of the body, it sounds simple, but it is actually a very high level.

Because the soul of a person is originally invisible and colorless, and extremely fragile, it can only be placed in the flesh. Once the soul is out of the body, it is definitely dead.

After more than a hundred years of practice, Xiang Nan was able to turn the virtual into the real, making his soul tangible and colorful, and even being able to leave his soul and stay outside alone for a period of time.

This is already a very remarkable realm, and it can even be said that it is a step forward, and the immortal and the mortal are separated forever.

Taoism emphasizes "refining essence into qi", "refining qi into spirit", "refining spirit into emptiness", and "refining emptiness into Taoism."

The soul leaving the body is the highest realm of refining qi into spirit, which is at least the level of ghost immortals in ancient times. Therefore, since ancient times, Taoism has called the soul leaving the body "ascending to immortality".

After Xiang Nan practiced to the point of soul leaving the body, he really found that the real world was very different from what he saw with his naked eyes.

The mountains seen by the naked eye are mountains, water is water, and people are people, but using the soul to "see" the world, the feeling is very different.

Just like a blind man touching an elephant, he suddenly has vision and sees an elephant that is completely different from what he felt just now.

Xiang Nan is now the blind man touching the elephant, and at this moment in his eyes, the mountains are no longer mountains, the water is no longer water, and people are no longer people. Everything seemed chaotic, disordered and strange.

Xiang Nan couldn't help but think of the protagonist Neo in "The Matrix". After awakening the talent of the savior, everything he saw in the matrix, such as corridors, pedestrians, buildings, mountains, rivers... all turned into green turbulence.

Xiang Nan felt the same as him, so he didn't dare to look at it for too long and hurried back to his body.

After many attempts, although he still saw mountains as not mountains, water as not water, and people as not people, he was at least no longer panicked.

Moreover, there are many benefits to the soul leaving the body.

For example, the soul is like reality and emptiness, and is not bound by the flesh, so it is not hindered wherever it goes; the soul is not bound by the flesh, so it moves faster; the soul can change in a thousand ways, not to mention men, women, old and young, even flies and mice can change at will...

However, the soul leaving the body is also very dangerous, because his soul is still very fragile.

If it was just windy and rainy, it would be fine, but the key thing he was afraid of was thunder and lightning.

Because lightning contains huge destructive power, which is more intense than fire and more violent than water. Ordinary people can still breathe when they are burned by fire or drowned by water, but if they are struck by lightning, they will most likely die directly.

The soul is much more fragile than the body. Even if Xiang Nan's soul has been tempered, it is still difficult to resist lightning.

Especially in the 20th century, many places have been connected to electricity, and these electricity are also very dangerous to Xiang Nan.

He didn't even need to test it himself, just tried to get close, and the alarm bells had already sounded in his mind. It can be seen that household electricity is very scary to him.

If it was thunder and lightning in the sky, I'm afraid it would be destroyed before the alarm bells could ring. So Xiang Nan didn't dare to go out on thunderstorms.

...

Time flies, and another thirty years have passed.

In these thirty years, technology has made great progress again.

Movies, television, radios, refrigerators, air conditioners, jet aircraft, automobile manufacturing, steel smelting, oil extraction, and many other fields have all made progress in all aspects, and even nuclear energy has been discovered.

And with the advancement of technology, productivity has also been further improved.

The victorious countries of World War I, such as Britain, the United States, and Germany, have become increasingly powerful. Although the defeated countries, such as Russia, Austria, Spain, and Italy, have greatly recovered their strength, they are still suppressed by Britain, the United States, and Germany.

Other regions such as Africa, Asia, and South America, due to the long-term economic colonization, have not been able to develop their own factories. The domestic unemployment rate has remained high, and as a result, the people have been living in poverty for a long time, with almost no way out.

Because of this, the contradictions between countries are getting bigger and bigger.

In the end, World War II finally broke out.

This time, the priests of various countries did not even ask Xiang Nan for his opinion.

Of course, this is also related to Xiang Nan's increasingly less voice.

He originally established the Goddess Church to help the ocean goddess Kolibuso recruit believers. After World War I, the proportion of Goddess believers has accounted for nearly 80% of the total population of the earth, which is an absolute advantage.

It can be seen that the Goddess Church has long been on the right track. In this case, even if he no longer manages it, the Goddess Church will follow inertia and develop stronger and stronger.

Xiang Nan naturally didn't bother to spend time on the director. After all, it's better to have less trouble than more, and he was still busy with his own practice.

Moreover, before, the believers were just poor, hungry, cold, and sick, and he could help them solve their problems by giving them some money, food, clothes, and holy water.

But now he has to solve the conflicts between nearly a hundred countries, which is not something he can resolve alone, so he is less and less involved in management.

This also led to the churches in various countries gradually getting out of management and letting things go their own way. Even such a big thing as starting a war did not inform Xiang Nan.
