The Ocean Lord Is Unusually Powerful

Eastern continent.

Hog Mountain Line of Defense.

After the army of the Kingdom of Light arrived here, they gathered believers to build a statue of the Goddess of Light in a valley.

Since its completion, a large number of Light Church believers have come here every day from various places behind, regardless of the forces of the Kingdom of Darkness that appear at any time, to pray in front of this white statue that is over a hundred meters high and is even taller than the mountain next to it. .

In the eyes of believers, this is the place where the Army of the Kingdom of Light came for the first time to save the common people under the will of the Goddess of Light. It is as sacred a place as the Holy City of Avino of the Church of Light.

And other places where the Kingdom of God’s army descends are more or less considered by believers to be special places.

It is difficult for players to imagine that in a world with gods, how much fanaticism and faith a god can make believers have.

With the arrival of the Kingdom of God's army, Ji Chen could feel that the believers of the Ocean God Religion were in a state of emotional instability.

Many of them were believers of other ocean gods in the Ocean God System before. Because they did not receive responses and manifestations from the gods for a long time, or the power of the church declined, etc., their faith declined or they were disappointed and turned to the Ocean God Cult.

Therefore, when I saw many armies from the Kingdom of God arriving at this time, I couldn't help but feel a little panic, for fear that the army of the Kingdom of God from my original faith would cause trouble for them.

Heretics are more hateful than heretics!

As a result, their hearts were filled with worries and uneasiness, and their faith in the Sea God Religion began to waver, providing less power of faith.

Ji Chen knew what needed to be done now. Immediately sent troops to coastal cities along the Mediterranean Sea to preach force in various Sea God churches.

In particular, as soon as the two very good-looking divine armies arrived, and they looked no worse than other armies of the Kingdom of God, the believers became obviously inspired, and their uneasiness and worry were much reduced, and they were filled with abundant power of faith.

The competition between the gods for believers is no less intense than the battle between the armies of the Kingdom of God. In a relatively peaceful era, it is the main channel for the gods to expand their power.

At the same time, the priests of the Ocean God Cult who were sent to various places to preach were also recalled to the Crown of the Ocean in batches to listen to Ji Chen's plans and instructions.

When they returned to their respective dioceses with the next batch of resources, they invariably began to export inventory resources on a large scale for a new round of missionary work.

To put it simply, it means continuing or even strengthening the behavior of “throwing money”.

Nowadays, wars are raging everywhere in the main world. Demons, evil camps and lawful camps are still at war, and the armies of the Kingdom of God of various gods are also conquering each other.

It can be said that the whole world has turned into a pot of porridge!

In such troubled times, whoever can provide believers with shelter and security, and who can provide sufficient survival resources, will be able to win the loyalty and trust of believers.

Among them, the Ocean God Cult focuses on poor people and lower-class believers. After a period of preaching, it has achieved remarkable results.

Eighty percent of the new believers are from the lower classes, and they are the most loyal followers of the Sea God Religion. no doubt.

The Ocean God Cult is so kind and approachable. They provide food and clothing to the lower class people and believers, and even set up a special relief organization.

Such "down-to-earth" behavior is also the scorpion's fault in many churches of gods - the only one!

Other divine churches more often focus on aboriginal nobles, city officials, military officers, the urban middle class, landowners, and at the worst, wealthy farmers.

For them, only believers who are in the middle and upper echelons of society can provide help for the operation of the church.

Without the donations from these wealthy believers, the huge funds needed to set up churches, welfare homes, training church warriors and other church facilities in every city would be enough to overwhelm the church itself.

Only these high-quality believers with assets and foundation can provide financial support to maintain the operation and expansion of the church. However, this does not mean that they do not care about the underlying believers, but most of the time the focus is not on them.

The Ocean God Cult starts from seemingly small but very important aspects such as food, clothing, housing and transportation, quickly seizes the needs of the indigenous people at the bottom, seizes this part of the field that other God Churches ignore or don't care about, and completes the initial accumulation of believers as quickly as possible. .

In some respects, the power of faith provided by the lower-class believers is no less than that of the wealthy natives, and is even superior in terms of loyalty.

Faith spiritual needs + material needs + survival needs.

After this set of three blows, most of the wavering residents quickly fell. Even many poor believers in small churches converted to the Ocean God Cult.

No matter how much they believe, they can only have food to eat.

When other churches saw such exploitative behavior, they could only scold this sneaky little church. However, they were entangled in a series of sexual incidents from the Kingdom of God’s army and could not spare much energy.

Since these poor believers cannot donate any resources, it is not worthwhile to go to war at this time, so they put this matter aside for the time being and settle the accounts later.

Now, the armies of the Kingdom of God are coming one after another, and the various divine churches are very confident.

However, what they don't know is that once the Ocean God Cult has captured all the lower class residents and has a deep-rooted faith, it will be difficult for them to change their minds.

The spread of Ocean God Cult in various dioceses has accelerated a bit.

Shiploads of resources were transported from the outside world to the Ocean Crown, and shiploads of resources were transported to various dioceses to provide resources and funds needed for missionary work.

"Sir, excluding the mainland of Ocean Crown and the Great Fluorescent Sea, the total number of believers in various parishes now exceeds 800,000, especially in the Three Kingdoms region along the northwest coast such as the Principality of Reinhardt. In several coastal cities, Ocean Theistic religion has become the mainstream church.”

Velus said with some excitement, such a fast preaching speed is very amazing.

Starting from the time when priests were sent to preach, the number of believers on various continents and islands increased from zero to 800,000. All this happened in less than a month.

Ji Chen smiled softly.

asked.

"Why is Reinhard's side progressing so quickly?"

Velus said quickly: "That's right. The area of ​​the Principality of Reinhardt was a wilderness in ancient times. Several pioneer families moved there from the outside world. Everything started from scratch, and several families were gradually established. country, so there are no native beliefs.”

"In addition, the Reinhard countries have strictly controlled church missionary work, so no church has ever been able to spread on a large scale.

But after the Sea Gods entered, instead of stopping them, they actively provided assistance, provided several buildings for free as churches for our mission, and even sent soldiers to maintain order."

Velus shook his head and said in confusion.

Ji Chen felt somewhat interested and secretly sensed the power of Reinhardt's faith.

The number is more than 400,000, accounting for half of all believers.

Most are located in seaside cities, towns and villages.

Among the believers' constant prayers and fanaticism, he discovered several rather familiar existences.

Julius, Monica, Sebastian, Milauna

These familiar aborigines have become believers of the Ocean God Religion and have received the protection of the territory.

They probably already knew that the Ocean God Cult came from the Crown of the Ocean, and that the "god" they believed in was him, so they took the initiative to facilitate the Ocean God Cult's missionary work.

And this also means that Reinhardt has taken a side and chosen to side with him and the Crown of the Ocean.

"In the future, we will increase our missionary efforts in Reinhardt, prioritize resources, and expand the influence of the Sea God Religion there as soon as possible."

"yes!"

Velus raised his head and said: "Lord, one more thing is about the residential population. More and more people are joining Ocean Crown. Now there is not much land left on the island to build residences. Municipal facilities, once the foreign population is overabsorbed, it will seriously affect the ecological balance of the island and compress industrial areas, agricultural areas and other areas."

Ji Chen frowned, "This is indeed a problem. How many residents are there in Ocean Crown now?"

"Excluding the sea tribe and lizard people, there are already more than 300,000 residents."

Cramming 300,000 residents for long-term living on an island with a mountainous area that occupies one-third of the island and less than one-third of the habitable terrain is already approaching the ecological limit.

The original jungle that originally covered 60 to 70% of the entire main island has now been cut down by more than half. Most of the remaining jungle is located on the west, northwest and north sides. The southeast side centered on the Lord's Castle is full of buildings. .

If it spreads further to the west and northwest, the entire island will become bare.

Ji Chen thought about it and felt that the increasingly scarce vegetation could not be destroyed for the sake of population.

But only when the population increases can the territory develop. So what method should be used to increase the population capacity of the territory?

Looking at the sandbox map of the Crescent Islands on the table beside him, he gradually came up with an idea.

“We reclaim the land from the sea.”

Velus was stunned by this novel word.

Ji Chen picked up the chess pieces on the edge of the sand table and inserted them into the shoal where the main island and the northeast sub-island were connected.

"How about filling and fortifying the shoal with a lot of rocks and soil to create a piece of land large enough to build a house?"

Velus touched his chin, his eyes showing some surprise and surprise, "This seems to be possible? If the water depth in this shoal is not very deep and there are enough rocks and mud."

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go explore."

"yes!"

Velus quickly ran out and took people to explore.

Will report back soon.

The water around the shoal is not deep and has the conditions for land reclamation.

With Ji Chen's promise, a large number of Ocean Crown residents rushed to the scene carrying tools. This scene made the foreign businessmen and sailors stunned.

After asking, I found out what kind of "reclamation" work they were going to do, and they looked at each other in confusion.

The ocean is so vast, and these residents actually want to fill it in to create land?

To create land, isn't that a power that only gods have?

They soon saw how the inhabitants of Ocean Crest had "created land."

I saw one transport ship carrying a cabin full of stones and soil, and dumping it directly into the sea, just like throwing handfuls of gold coins into the sea, without causing any waves.

Some people saw this as a joke, shook their heads and left, while some people still stayed curious.

Some of the players, who were wearing strange clothes and were called Lords of Glory, looked surprised.

"Zhou Cao, are you reclaiming the sea and creating land!?"

"I didn't expect to see such a situation in this other world. It seems that the population here on the Crescent Islands is getting denser and denser, and the land is not enough."

"Should we buy a few houses here quickly, and when the house prices here are high, we can sell them and get rich?"

".It's indeed possible, otherwise I wouldn't be able to afford the betrothal gift."

As boatloads of stones and soil are dumped continuously, the sea water gradually becomes turbid, and the rocks and soil no longer sink. Instead, they gradually emerge and are gradually filled with more soil. People can already stand on them. .

The residents of Ocean Crown immediately cheered. Although this piece of land was no bigger than a house, it was the first step in their successful land reclamation.

Next, as long as you follow a series of instructions from the lord, you can create a land that can accommodate more people!

As long as all the shoals and surrounding shallow water between the main island and the northeast sub-island, as well as between the northeast sub-island, are filled in to create land, then at least tens of square kilometers of flat land can be created here.

These flat lands are enough to build a residential area for 300,000 people!

If we follow the example and create land in the shallow water area around the main island, then it is not impossible to accommodate millions of people.

Watching the residents of Ocean Crown enthusiastically dumping rocks and filling them with soil, Ji Chen looked thoughtful.

It is said that the power of the earth has the majestic power to move mountains and flat hills, turn rugged mountains into flat land, and shape the terrain at will. So does the power of the sea have similar power?

If so, the power of power can be used to create an area on the seabed that can accommodate the survival of land races, then the land problem will naturally be solved.

Thinking of this, Ji Chen wanted to test it immediately.

After several selections, he chose a relatively flat submarine basin west of the Crescent Islands.

Power surged out, and the seawater in front of him gradually surged to all sides under Ji Chen's control. It was like there was a point in the middle that excluded everything and was gradually expanding.

Soon, this point turned into a cavity. The surrounding fish looked at this strange place in confusion. When they put their heads into the cavity, their eyes widened. There was no sea water here! ?

Ji Chen raised his hands and spread them to both sides. As his arms extended, the cavity continued to grow, becoming as big as a house.

He moved slowly into it.

It feels like going from the sea water through the shield of the tidal core to the inside on a giant turtle, but there is no air.

But it wasn't a problem. Ji Chen just snapped his fingers, and air squeezed in from the surrounding seawater.

Looking at the underwater space that had begun to take shape, Ji Chen nodded with satisfaction.
