Chapter 1113: Commencement
This world now has a new name, and Sandora feels that since it is the capital of the fifteen heavens region of the old empire (in fact, it is a fragment of the capital), and it is also the hometown of Pandora and her family, this universe cannot be named by a simple number, it should have its own name like Avalon and Shadow Space, and after a short discussion, we decided to name this small universe with a diameter of one light year "Xinxiang".
It's not a rare name, there are at least hundreds of place names called Xinxiang in the Empire's database, but the word "Xinxiang" has an extraordinary meaning to this lost territory—the only name we can hear after weeding out more than a hundred bizarre strings......
Well, we shouldn't have involved shallow in the naming campaign.
Xinxiang will become a "district" of the capital of the empire, like Avalon, and the mortal realm here will be used as an observatory and testing ground for the phenomenon of imperial deification, which sounds a little strange, it feels as if the people here will be treated as a test object, but in fact, the situation is not so serious, everything is an inevitable process: there will inevitably be an individual with divinity among the apostles of Xiling, then we will inevitably need to know what power this "new god" has, whether we want to or not, this "new god" As long as the "new gods" come into contact with the mortal world, religion will inevitably arise, and then religion will arise, so if religion arises, shouldn't we send an observer over to see the situation? Originally, before deciding to mount this world in the shadow space, we planned to let the latter randomly select an audience in the world to establish a belief system if a "new god" appeared, but now it is just a place to list this world that is about to be incorporated into the capital of the empire as the first priority of religious projects, not so much a test site, but actually a ready-made observation station.
Even Sagina and Sona didn't show any awkward meaning when they heard my plans—and of course the main reason was that they didn't understand what I was saying......
A lot has happened in the past few days for many people in the Mother Continent, and perhaps even more so for the rulers of various regions of this world. All because of the news of the "Second Coming of God" that suddenly spread throughout the world.
In the famously barren land of the southern region, a new sect has suddenly emerged that professes to believe in the god of the raven. This matter has been spread everywhere as early as a few days ago, unlike most of the world world world at the level of feudal civilization, in the mother continent, the transmission of information is not as slow as we imagined, this world world has a communication network based on magic technology, and there are also relatively developed media channels, even ordinary people, through a kind of newspaper-like folk media and the magic crystal announcement device in the center of the city to know the recent events inside and outside the kingdom, People are no strangers to the Raven God Sect, a new religion that suddenly flourished in a barren land. In the barren south, it is difficult for the people to find any material comfort, so this also happens to be the place where all kinds of new small religions emerge one after another, but the speed of development and the strength displayed by the Raven God Sect is a little surprising, and now, this sect has made an even more surprising move: they have sent messengers to the whole world, and these missionaries wearing black feathered robes seem to have descended from the sky and instantly appear in every place where people live in the world, openly proclaiming the news of "the return of the kingdom of God". These missionaries came and went without a trace. It seems to have mastered the spatial teleportation technique that even a powerful professional mage can't easily cast. It is not uncommon to see a missionary who is preaching at the borders of the kingdom in the morning, but in the afternoon he appears in the capital of the kingdom and stands in front of the king's palace to ask for an audience.
And another group of "missionaries" also appeared in various parts of the world world at the same time, compared to the Raven God Sect, which has been present for a period of time and is obviously larger, the movement of this second group of missionaries does not seem to be so big, but the impact of their appearance on the ordinary people of this world world is even more obvious, and they have only recently suddenly organized. Almost not many people know about the "Dragon God Sect".
Unlike the Raven God Cult, which has a complex composition, all the followers of the Dragon God Sect have only one race, that is, the Half-Dragon Men - some remote places still call them Lizardmen - these beasts who were originally located at the lower levels of the various intelligent races on the continent, and were even confused with those subhuman races, also appeared in various parts of the world along with the missionaries of the Raven God Sect, preaching prophecies about the return of the Kingdom of God. The "Dragon Descent" incident that happened in Sentu had spread throughout most of the world's realms at this time, but many people were skeptical that the half-dragon people really had dragon blood. As soon as the self-proclaimed half-dragon people of the dragon god appeared, they attracted unprecedented attention - especially the news from all over the world that some half-dragon people suddenly let out a dragon roar in the face of the questioning crowd, and even turned into a giant dragon, the turmoil caused by it even exceeded the news of the "return of the kingdom of God" itself.
The sudden movement of the two emerging sects caused a lot of commotion, of course, and it was the civilians who bore the brunt.
Regardless of the world, the common class is always easily influenced, and the complexity of their numbers and composition determines that this group of people can be quickly pushed by the new information that suddenly pops up, as long as there is a group of people who believe, there will be countless groups of people who blindly follow.
The missionaries of the Raven God Sect are not actually clever "instigators", they may have been just farmers facing the loess with their backs to the sky, or coolies digging stones in the mines, in terms of using language and public opinion to fool people, they are definitely not as good as the monks of other sects who specialize in this way, but they have a real divine power, and in this world where religions are full of religions and all kinds of divine activities emerge one after another, even if they play tricks on the street, they can fool a large group of people. Not to mention these all-powerful Raven Priests, who would suddenly appear high in the city, wrapped in thunder and lightning and storms prayed by divine magic, appear in front of the common people as if the messengers of the gods had really arrived, and loudly proclaim that "the kingdom of God is coming, the gods will close a part of the "Lost World", and a new order is about to be established", if this does not produce enough propaganda effect, then there is no more effective propaganda means. And the Dragon God Missionary's actions were even simpler, when a giant dragon suddenly landed on the city wall and loudly ordered everyone to immediately stop their exploration of the Lost World, I am afraid that no one would dare to ignore such a warning, right?
Of course, there are those who ignore such warnings, and there are even those who think that these missionaries are trying to expand the influence of their own sect – and there will be such bold and opinionated people everywhere. But in fact, it has come to this point. The thoughts of these people are meaningless: Aurelia has already closed the teleportation channels of the Lost World Realm one by one, and eighty percent of the passages from the Mother Continent to the Lost World Realm have now become one-way teleportations, only allowing people to evacuate from the other side of the passage, and no new people are no longer allowed to enter the Lost World Realm. In the final analysis, the mission of those missionaries is not to use their own strength to stop the exploration activities within the whole world, but to make a warning to the whole world, and use the method of preventive shots to avoid the next panic events.
As a result, with the preaching of these "messengers of the gods" and the gradual closure of the Lost World Realm, the exploration activities of the people of the Mother Continent on the Lost World Realm almost immediately and almost completely stopped, and there were constantly teams of explorers who were stranded in the Lost World Realm returning to the Mother Continent (the communication between the Lost World and the Mother Continent was still unimpeded). And in some of the Lost World Realm that cannot be notified, the Dragon God Sect and the Raven God Sect have also sent missionaries to evacuate people), just like before, the explorers are a group of quite superstitious people, they attach great importance to the various signs before departure, and now the movement in the whole world is so big, in the spirit of the mentality that they would rather believe that they have something or not, most of these explorers are not willing to continue to stay outside. And even if there are people who are really reluctant to leave...... Well. They can't beat the missionaries who "God descends on me" at every turn, can they?
It is said that the light is the first day. The missionaries of the Raven God Sect who were born with mud legs were stunned and brought back thousands of people, and the Dragon God Sect was slightly better, after all, their Pope was born as explorers, and the explorers who were forcibly brought back by them were not knocked unconscious, but were tied up strongly......
And after these missionaries in the name of God preached the news of the return of God's kingdom and released miracles everywhere, after a lot of waves were set off among the people, the administrators of the principalities of the mother continent and the orthodox church finally reacted and began to take a series of countermeasures - the situation was different in each place.
In the vast majority of places. The response of the authorities was as we expected, making the suppression of social unrest the first priority, and began to find a way to find out the source of those missionaries - this source is easy to check, all the missionaries are from the south, the Raven God Cult has never been a secret sect, and the entire race of the Half-Dragons has been migrating to the south with great fanfare for about half a month, but when the source of the missionaries is found, the next step is to take action. The local authorities were confused, because they had no idea of any motive for these religious people to carry out such a joint activity on a global scale: the missionaries preached about the second coming of the kingdom of God, but did not mention the gimmick that it would lead to the end of the world (which is a common trick used by many illegal sects to recruit believers), and did not use this momentum to expand the power of the church, and all the missionaries were teleporting from one city to another as if they were really just informing about it. There is only one reason why they leave after attracting enough attention, and they don't even accept food and donations from some people spontaneously: they are telling the truth.
But even so, many of the operatives were in trouble, because the movement was too loud, and Lilina asked them to "be high-profile, albeit high-profile, if there is a problem, God will help you settle it", and these missionaries were lively every time they acted, and many local authorities were disturbed and began to try to arrest, or at least expel these "mysterious people", and then a lot of unexpected situations happened to the former-
Whether it is a believer of the crow god or a messenger of the dragon god, they completely ignore the "human justice"!
It is to completely ignore them, because all the operatives have temporary god-given amulets on their bodies, and these amulets give them the status of "god-side executors" temporarily, so all the rulings and actions made by human justice against them are directly deleted, and they are invulnerable, and they ignore any physical and non-physical obstacles. They walked directly through the phalanx of thousands of city guards, loudly announcing the timetable for the return of the kingdom of God as they went; They smiled under the great magic bombardment of the military level, and continued to read the evacuation plan according to the lines after the explosion was over; They even mapped their own figures directly into the king's retina to promote the transformation of the world. Before leaving, Vanilla and Sona had each explained to their messengers the main points of action: to embody the bearing of a divine servant, as long as they did not violate the laws of the gods, the divine servants would ignore human justice, so they really ignored all the mundane attacks directed at them......
Such an uproar was caused, and it was all over the world, and the rulers of the mortal world and the "orthodox sects" everywhere finally realized that something was wrong, and they felt that they might have met a real "god". But soon. The "Orthodox sects" themselves also joined in the propaganda, and this was the third day of the large-scale operation of the missionaries from the south, and the old churches in various parts of the world also announced that they had received the revelation, because the various ancient spirits and utopian gods they worshipped suddenly appeared one after another, and told the believers in all parts of the world in a direct way that they had never been able to tell the believers in the world that the things preached by the crow god and the dragon god were true.
If the messy churches could communicate a little, they would find a strange phenomenon: the spirits of the churches they worship have been speaking with strange mantras lately. That is "for the Empire"......
These spirits are actually gradually under our control.
As I said before, there are two of the most distinctive characteristics of this world. The first is naturally the "Lost World Realm", which is closely related to people's lives and has become a part of the civilization of the mother continent, and the second is the various sects and the ancient spirits they believe in throughout the mother continent. In this world, there are about hundreds of religions or schools that coexist in a delicate state of equilibrium, and the core of these sects that worship or preach is basically the ancient spirit. Gu Ling, that is, some have a long history and have a strong force. A mysterious but tangibly present wisdom. They may be ancient beasts, or they may be some kind of materialized natural phenomenon (the ancient spirit followed by the Storm Sect in the northern mountains is a thunder hurricane that never dissipates), and the little crow was also mistaken for an ancient spirit (Vanilla called her a spirit of nature), so we may have a clearer understanding of the "ancient spirit phenomenon" on the mother continent. These ancient spirits possess a power that is obviously not on the same level as the mortal creatures of the mother continent, so the mortals of the mother continent regard them as gods.
At the same time, Aurelia also said before that among the three hundred and one commanders on the mysterious side of the old empire, except for her, the remaining three hundred people have been stored in this world in the form of underlying data. And most of them are hidden in the beliefs of human beings and the various religious stories of the mother continent, in other words, these imperial commanders have an inexplicable connection with the "ancient spirits" in various parts of the mother continent, the ancient spirits are not imperial commanders, but their generation mechanism is actually a variety of phenomena formed by the overflow of the underlying data of the world, as if the latter extends out of the second body of the world. Since the sleeping imperial commanders in this world are all mystical sides, they extend out of the ancient spirits. If it is the commander of the technology side who is sleeping here, then it should be black technology that extends out, and if Lilina is knocked out and stuffed into the bottom of the world, it is estimated that the entire mother continent will become ...... Well, it's become a mosaic......
The spirits themselves are in fact not self-conscious, and their "consciousness" is born out of the self-dissociating Imperial officers. In the past years, all the ancient spirits of the Mother Continent were chaotic due to the fact that their parent bodies were all asleep - mortals thought this was a sign of the gods' moodiness, but in fact it was because they were all dizzy. And now, the Imperial officers in the bottom data of the World Realm are gradually waking up, and Gu Ling is naturally slowly turning from a chaotic state to a sober state and standing on the side of the Empire.
The missionaries of the Raven God and the Dragon God are running around in the Manchu Realm to gain prestige, this is all something that Lilina is worried about, as for us, in fact, as early as the first batch of missionaries set off, the activation process of the home planet has been activated.
It is very troublesome to completely restart the system of the home planet, which has been sleeping for more than 70,000 years and is still broken by the impact and destruction, and it is precisely because this work cannot be done in a day or two that we have a lot of free time at hand, so we decided to let those missionaries run around the Manchurian realm to do propaganda, instead of simply letting the little crow and Lin do a miracle in the whole world. Although the latter looks convenient and fast, it is not as good as the former's propaganda, and the momentum does not look big enough, Lilina attaches great importance to the tools of public opinion, and she also wants to take this opportunity to expand the influence of the Raven God Sect: there is no need to deliberately recruit believers, as long as the changes in the various lost worlds are transmitted back to the mother continent, her propaganda plan will be a great success. As for the Dragon God Sect...... Sagina and Sona are obviously not as sophisticated as Lilina, and the two of them only followed suit after the latter's reminder, and these two half-dragon girls still have a long way to go before they can become qualified spiritual leaders.
The busiest these days, except for Lilina is Aurelia, Lilina is busy tossing her religious career, and Aurelia is the only one of us who knows how to activate the home planet, until now, the state of conceptual disconnection has only been lifted on the side of "Xinxiang", and outside of "Xinxiang", the conceptual disintegration is still ongoing, so Alaya also feels at a loss for things like the Sky Tower and the Forgotten Garden (although those things were designed and built by her back then), so she can only put the burden on Aurelia.
However, Aurelia herself seemed to be unconcerned about the complicated work, or rather simply enjoyed it, and the fluttering luminous object never showed any expression, but I felt that she did feel a cheerful emotion in her, especially after the "ancient spirit" in the realm of the world had responded to our orders for the first time two days earlier.
"Isn't it a joy to be able to serve the Empire again after 70,000 years of abandonment, and now to be able to serve the Empire again, and to have the value of work again?" Aurelia said happily to my occasional question, and then brought up something else, "Dragon...... On the other side of the space of the Kingdom of God, the City of Angels has been released, do you want to go and see it? ”
