What exactly is God?

I'm afraid that even the most knowledgeable scholars in the Crane Continent will not be able to give an accurate answer to this question, and the difficulty is like letting elves evaluate humans and humans evaluate dwarves. Even in the Demon Realm and the Kingdom of God, only a small number of people know the truth about the nature of the gods.

Luckily, Jenn is one of those small groups.

In fact, in essence, there is not much difference between the gods and the demon kings, perhaps there is indeed a distinction between light and darkness between them, but there is no existence of the absolute good and evil camp. For it is not who is important is their own thing, but their priesthood. The power of the gods comes from their priesthood, and the same goes for the demon kings. Or rather, their priesthood is the embodiment of their power. But there is no good or evil in the power itself, the sword is the sword, the sword is the sword, the gun is the gun, the weapon itself has no consciousness to distinguish between good and evil, only the actions of the person who holds the weapon will determine whether they will become a legend that has been passed down for a hundred years, or a nightmare hidden in the dark.

Now the humans on the Klein Continent regard the God of War as one of the Nine Saints, a member of the good camp. But they had no idea that in the original era when the demons and gods descended to earth, it was the realm of Bane, the king of war. And Bane is one of the demon kings in the demon world, and he likes to provoke war, blood and death. And this qiē obviously has nothing to do with the war between good and evil that the Temple of the God of War preaches now, war is war, aggression is war, self-defense is war, massacre is war, expulsion is war. Perhaps both sides of the battle will raise the banner of righteousness to take a stand, but for the war itself, this qiē is meaningless.

In the end, Ban was killed by Maka, and the other party inherited the position of the god of war and threw himself into the kingdom of God, which gave rise to Maka, the god of war among the nine saints.

Another example is the goddess of wealth, Wokin, the god of the good camp, who was once the patron saint of all the merchants of the Klein Continent. But after that, because of an accident, Wokin was imprisoned by the demon king Grazt, and became a slave of the latter, although in the end Wokin escaped from Grazt's grasp under the interference of other demon kings, but she was completely corrupted in the demon world, and she also fell into an evil god. In fact, there are many rumors in the Demon Realm that the Cullisgate Chamber of Commerce is the product of Waukin's "return to his old business" in the Demon Realm. And on the surface of the Klein Continent, the temple of the goddess of commerce can no longer be seen.

It can be seen from this that the priesthood itself does not care about good or evil, and no matter what the purpose, the priesthood will only operate like a set of procedures and mechanisms. And only the gods who hold the priesthood and have their own will can make judgments.

And the most important reason why Jenn is sure that the God of War has not been resurrected is that after he killed so many people, he actually received the baptism of the Holy Light of the God of War.

The so-called baptism of light is actually a blessing given by the gods when believers complete the tasks given by the gods or maintain the dignity of the gods. Although this blessing itself is of little value most of the time, and only shows the gods' approving attitude towards them, it is a supreme honor for believers to receive direct attention from the gods.

And it is precisely because of this that Jenn is sure that the God of War Divine Throne is still vacant at the moment. Because if a god from the good camp took over the priesthood, then it would be absolutely impossible for him to be recognized. But if there is no subjective judgment, just looking at what Jenn himself did, then he perfectly provoked a war, and had the last laugh as the victor, while offering countless deaths, blood and corpses to the god of war. This behavior clearly fits the definition of a god of war, so it is only natural that he will receive the favor of the god of war.

For example, it's like playing a game and taking on a mission to destroy enemies in a village. Of course, you can take your time to find them and catch them all in order to complete the quest and get rewards. It is also possible to directly create a landslide and mudslide and completely bury the entire village, regardless of men, women and children, which can also be regarded as completing the task of "destroying the enemy". In this case, if the GM on the other side of the system has a self-position, then of course he will give the former a considerable amount of rewards, while the latter will definitely have very few rewards, and maybe even give a wanted warrant.

However, if there is no GM and only the program is allowed to judge itself, then the program will only determine that "the mission is completed and the enemy is destroyed", and it is not within the scope of the program's calculations how many twists and turns there are or how many innocents have been killed or injured.

The current God of War priesthood is like a program that runs automatically without a GM. There is no self-judgment, and the priesthood of "war" itself is very neutral, so no matter how many people Jenn kills, he will not be denied. On the contrary, the more vigorous the war he provoked, the more he would be recognized by the priesthood of the god of war.

For Jenn, this kind of "recognition" is basically meaningless, like someone patting him on the shoulder and saying, "I like you." But for the believers of the Temple of the God of War, it's a different story. The God of War has been down for so many years, and he has never shown any miracles again, so that these paladins can only live on the most basic blessing techniques. And right now, the Holy Light favor of the God of War has actually appeared on Jenn's body, so this not only means that Jenn is a person approved by the God of War, but also means that the God of War is likely to wake up!!

For believers in the gods, nothing is more important than the oracles and the gods themselves. This is one of the reasons why the Temple of the God of War is so weak now, and after receiving the oracle, it still grits its its teeth and wants to enter the dark region to fight the fire. For them, the only thing is to complete the oracle and please the gods. Only then can their temple continue to survive and grow.

In this respect, the followers of the gods are essentially no different from the cultists who kill babies to please the demon king.

The people of the Valkyrie Principality don't understand why the God of War Temple is willing to risk breaking with the Valkyrie Principality to protect Jenn, but Jenn is very clear that he is now a "brave man" who is concerned by the God of War, and this also represents a precursor to the reappearance of the "God of War". Even if the Temple of the God of War fights against the Valkyrie Principality, it must protect him. And if you think about it, why didn't the Holy Light of the God of War appear sooner or later, but only after Jenn killed a group of soldiers from the Valkyrie Principality? Does this mean that the evil referred to in the oracle is actually the Duchy of Valkyrie? Because they failed the divine grace of the god of war, and even tried to expel the temple of the god of war, so they provoked the god of war to punish him?

If that's the case, don't say that the Valkyrie Duchy is going to trouble the Temple of the God of War. I'm afraid that before then, the Temple of the God of War will gather its men to wage a holy war against the Valkyrie Principality!

One of the gods is angry, and blood is splattered for thousands of miles. If this is really the will of the gods, then the good days of the Valkyrie Principality will come to an end.

Archbishop Boson and Paladin Boss Locks were also quite puzzled as to why the Holy Light appeared at this time, but it was no wonder that although they were God of War believers, they didn't know as much about the gods as Jenn. What they couldn't figure out seemed to Jenn very easy to understand.

Strictly speaking, gods and demon kings are "immortal", but this word should be put in quotation marks. It's not that they can't be killed, but they can't be "wiped out forever." After the death of the god, his power will return to the kingdom of God, and the soul will be reborn into the main physical plane and become a man. Then, with the guidance and call of the soul, he awakened and became a god again.

After the Demon King is killed, its soul will return to the Demon Realm, transform into the lowest level of the Demon Race, and then start to climb up step by step again.

Both of them take a long time, and even if they are gods, if they are damaged when they die, they will need to be reborn several times in a row before they can accumulate enough soul power to open the gate of the kingdom of God. And the same is true of the Demon King, it is impossible to climb back to his original position from the lowest level of cowardice, and it is impossible for hundreds of years. Not to mention that the Demon Realm is full of dangers, and there are basically no low-level demons who can safely survive for hundreds of years.

But the god of war Maca is different, he was dragged into the demon world with his soul, which means that his soul cannot be reborn, and his power and priesthood are also imprisoned in the demon world. This is the main reason why the Demon Realm always boasts that he killed a god, and the Kingdom of God clearly kills the three major legion commanders but does not mention it. Because they also know very well that although the Demon Realm has lost the three major legion leaders, as long as they are given enough time, these three legion leaders can still be reborn again. But even Maka, who was dragged into the demon world with his soul, has never turned over in his life.

But the problem is that while dragging Maca into the demon world, his priesthood is also imprisoned in the demon world.

In the Kingdom of God and the Demon Realm, the power of the priesthood itself is not strong, after all, their main function is to manage the main material plane. And after Maca was dragged into the demon realm, the priesthood was imprisoned and the divine power was erased. Therefore, the God of War Temple collapsed, after all, it was impossible for them to summon the God of War divine power from the Demon Realm.

But Jenn is different, first of all, he is a demon, and he is in the same space as the current God of War priesthood. Secondly. He mingled with the people of the Temple of the God of War, and became an ally of sorts. As a demon, Jenn can naturally have the power to resonate with the demon world and exchange it. Coupled with his alliance with the people of the God of War Temple, it can be regarded as the recognition of activating the God of War Divine Profession from a certain Cheng dù. Because of this, the Priesthood of the God of War sent down the Holy Light to show Jenn's approval.

If the God of War Temple still wants to be recognized by the God of War for miracles, there are only two ways to go, either they will find another demon who is willing to ally with the God of War Temple, or they will simply believe in the Demon Cult themselves. When you can communicate with the demon world, then you will naturally be able to take care of the "inspiration" of the god of war.

Jenn speculated on these truths, and naturally guessed that eight or nine were not far from ten. As the son of the Demon King, these secrets that everyone in the main material plane is not qualified to contact at all are already commonplace for him. The devil guards all the secrets of this world -- there is still some truth in the proverb of the Klein Continent.

It's just a pity that Archbishop Bosson and Captain Paladin Rocks don't have this kind of insight, and they discussed it for a long time, but they couldn't come to any conclusion. In the end, in desperation, he had to find Jenn to see what this "brave man favored by the god of war" had to say.

"What's next?"

Squinting his eyes, Jenn glanced at the stern-faced Archbishop Bosson and the Paladin Captain Rocks. Sensing his gaze, Archbishop Bosson also nodded.

"Yes, Mr. Jenn, do you have any suggestions for our next move?"

At this moment, Archbishop Boson also looked respectful, although he and Captain Locks Paladin have always had a power struggle, but as a clergyman, Archbishop Boson also knew that he was able to sit in this position, completely relying on the grace of the god of war. This is the difference between the Templar and other organizations, those who have received the attention of the gods have ascended to the heavens in one step, and those who are not favored by the gods cannot be turned over forever, and your connections, your prestige, and your strength are meaningless here. So now that Jenn has won the favor of the God of War, he can only continue to bear the bullet.

"Valkyrie doesn't have to worry about them, and I don't think they really dare go to war with the Templars."

Faced with Archbishop Bosen's inquiry, Jenn thought for a moment before speaking.

"However, I still don't know, what exactly does the God of War Temple want to do when it comes to the Dark Regions? Is it simply to destroy evil? ”

"This ..............."

Hearing this, Archbishop Bosson and Chief Paladin of Locks glanced at each other, and then the latter sighed and spoke.

"Now that you've been favored by the god of war, there's nothing to hide, Mr. Jenn. In fact, we have come to the Dark Lands not only to fight evil, but also to find a legendary lost artifact! ”

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Jenn was suddenly stunned, and his mind suddenly came up with what the Gray Dwarf Archon had said to him.

Could it be that what Kadek said was true?
