Chapter 1154: The Role of the Church

In the world of monasticism, the secular dynasties are protected by the dragon veins of national destiny, so ascetics dare not easily interfere with the secular dynasties. This is not to say that ascetics cannot kill those emperors and royal families, but that killing them will lead to great karma, especially the punishment from heaven. The scourge of the day is not a joke, it is not like the day of the catastrophe, and it is over, but it is really almost endless.

This dragon vein of national destiny is actually the original will of the world, and it is also called the will of heaven in the world of Taoism. It's a bit like it has been set to a certain extent, that is, everything will change according to the preset, and any interference will be treated as a "virus" and eliminated.

And the world of Chenxi also has the existence of the Dragon Vessel of the National Luck, but it may not be called that way here. Because of this, although many of the royal families and nobles in the Chenxi world are descendants of wizards, it is impossible for Ye Zan to forcibly catch them all.

Another point is related to this "preaching".

Don't look at Ye Zan's "Children of Destiny" and reincarnation space before Ye Zan, and later even prehistoric relics. However, these actions of his can still be regarded as "boiling a frog in warm water" for the original will of Chenxi World.

However, if Ye Zan moved those who were protected by the dragon veins of the national fortune, it would be equivalent to slapping the original will of Chenxi world.

Of course, Ye Zan is not from this world after all, even if he is faced with the scourge of this world, he will be fine if he just runs back to the world of cultivation. However, when he ran back to the world of Taoism, how could he complete the mission of "preaching the Word", everything he had done before was in vain.

Facing the "questions" from the envoys of various countries, the fake Pope Sun King Bartley, who was informed by Ye Zan, closed his eyes and opened his arms solemnly, and said, "We have received the oracle from the goddess before, and this world has arrived. It's time for a change!"

These envoys from various countries actually do not have a high status, and they are not enough to get in touch with the secrets of the truth. They were ordered to come to the Church of Dawn to question, all on the grounds of "should be vigilant against heresy", and they didn't know anything about the invasion of the monastic world.

Those who knew the truth did not dare to come to inquire in person, and did not dare to tell more people the truth, so they could only use this reason to send envoys.

And because they didn't know the truth, the envoys from all over the world immediately didn't know what to do when they heard the pope's answer. After all, even in the world of Dawn, the status of the church is far inferior to that of the imperial power. But the pope even brought out the goddess. These messengers didn't have the guts to blaspheme, so how dare they question the pope's words.

"Your Majesty the Pope, can it be said that what is happening now, those heresy remarks, and the so-called prehistoric civilization are the changes that the goddess said?" A messenger asked unwillingly.

Of course, since the goddess was involved, his tone was much more respectful, and he dared not directly question the authenticity of the oracle.

"Those things that have happened recently have not escaped the control of the church, so how can they be called heresy?" The false pope Bartley opened his eyes, although his expression did not change, but the displeasure in his tone was still obvious.

You must know that the "Children of Destiny" and the reincarnated are basically "incorporated" by the church, and the prehistoric relics are also led by the church to explore. Moreover, the church has set up a special research institute for the prehistoric relics, and its status is almost comparable to that of the court.

What is heresy? To put it bluntly, it is speech and behavior that cannot be controlled by the church and is contrary to the purpose of the church. So, since everything is under the control of the church, where does the so-called heresy come from?

"This... His Majesty the King of our country is very worried about the current situation..." Another envoy said without confidence.

"Go back and tell your majesty the king that everything is under the control of the church and will be guided by the church. He has nothing to worry about." Before the messenger could finish speaking, the false pope Bartley waved his hand arrogantly and said.

Faced with such an explanation and attitude from the Pope, what better way can those envoys who don't know the truth at all have? Therefore, all the envoys didn't care about rest, and after declining the church's hospitality, they embarked on the return journey helplessly and eagerly.

After the messengers had left, Ye Zan's figure appeared beside Batley.

"Ye, by replying to them like this, isn't it telling them that there is something wrong with the church?" Bartley said with some concern.

After all, according to Ye Zan's previous plan, it is still very important to teach this skin. And the facts also proved that Ye Zan's plans could be carried out smoothly only by relying on the skin of the church. If there is no church, those "Children of Destiny" and reincarnated people will almost all be labeled as heretics. If there is no church, "prehistoric relics" will not be discovered and excavated so quickly.

"It doesn't matter. It has reached this point. Even if they know that there is a problem with the church, they will not have any influence on our plan. Moreover, for us, the real value of the church lies in its influence among the people. As for those nobles and those descendants of wizards, what if they know about it." Ye Zan said nonchalantly.

"I'm just afraid, what kind of decree did they issue against the church..." Batley was not relieved by Ye Zan's words, but raised his concerns.

In the technological world, in medieval Europe, there was a time when religion prevailed over kingship. At that time, the kings of all countries needed to be crowned by the pope if they wanted to sit on the throne. Otherwise, even if you sit on the throne, you will not be recognized by all countries, even the citizens of your own country will not recognize you.

However, in the world of Dawn, the church does not have such a high status. Instead, the kingship of various countries has always restricted the church. Of course, it is more accurate to say that it is the power of wizards behind the kingships of various countries that is restricting and even controlling the church. For example, those high-level church leaders who were dealt with by Ye Zan were basically the loyal dogs of the wizards.

"Well, don't worry about it at all. I really hope that they will make some drastic moves, so that we can have an excuse to do something." Ye Zan said with a smile, there was no worry in his expression, but a bit of anticipation color.

As I said before, due to the protection of the dragon veins of the national destiny, it is impossible for Ye Zan and the others to directly attack the royal families of various countries with such "extraordinary power". Even though many of the royal families of various countries are descendants of wizards, they have sat on the throne after all. Who calls this world a colony of wizards?

However, having the protection of the Dragon Vessel of the National Fortune does not mean that the dynasty can be passed on forever, otherwise how could there be those dynasty replacements.

That is to say, mundane matters must be resolved by mundane forces, so that they will not attract the attention of the original will of the world. The change of dynasties, regardless of whether it is foreign invasion or internal rebellion, although they will publicize what the destiny is, but in fact the destiny does not care about that. As far as the original will of the world is concerned, it doesn't matter whoever sits in that position, as long as it doesn't need "supernatural power" to get involved.

Therefore, if Ye Zan wanted to deal with those descendants of wizards, although he couldn't do it directly, he could manipulate ordinary power to do so. There is a saying in the ancient Hua Kingdom, "Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it", and the church is undoubtedly a sharp weapon for manipulating this "water".

No matter which world you are in, to put it mildly, ordinary people are "ignorant", so there is the term "ignorant majority". Take the technological world as an example. There used to be countless rumors rampant on the Internet. Why do so many people believe those rumors? Why is there such a career as a sailor on the Internet, and why is there such a term as "public opinion control"?

"People say what they say" is an idiom. It was originally a word created by ancient people, but in the technologically advanced Internet age, it is vividly reflected on the Internet.

How many people, seeing what others have said, express their righteous indignation without hesitation? Although, there are also many people who, after being filled with righteous indignation, were slapped in the face by the reversed facts. However, how many people, after being slapped in the face, can remember this lesson, and will not be so "following others" next time.

In the world of dawn, since the church is not the real ruler, coupled with the blessing of faith, it still has more "credibility" among the people. These have actually been well reflected in the previous series of things about "Children of Destiny" and "prehistoric relics".

If the Church of Dawn had no credibility, it would be impossible for people to accept the appearance of the "Child of Destiny" with a single sentence. If people don't believe in the Church of Dawn, how can they respond to the church's summoning order and participate in the exploration and excavation of prehistoric relics.

Contrary to the Church of Dawn, as rulers, the various royal families and nobles, regardless of whether they really love the people or not, as long as they collect taxes, they are oppressive. Therefore, in the eyes of the people, they don't have a good impression of those rulers, and they will blame all their misfortunes on the rulers.

The people do not rebel against the rule because they do not have the strength and courage to rebel, not because they really do not want to rebel in their hearts. Why do many "peasant uprisings" happen in years of famine? That's because they really can't survive, and they can't survive without resistance. Anyway, they are all dead, so it's better to fight.

On the Dawn World side, the lives of people from all over the world are generally not to the point where they cannot survive. However, even if the instigation of faith is not as powerful as the "desire to survive", it is not far behind.

Just say that medieval Europe in the world of science and technology had a "Crusade" launched for faith!

Of course, the "Crusade" was only in the name of faith, and what really attracted countless people to participate in it was because of the pursuit of spoils. To put it bluntly, it was a war inciting countless believers to rob in the name of faith. But in any case, this also reflects the role of belief. After all, most people still hope to have a just reason when they do bad things.

Ye Zan's plan is to use the influence of Chenxi Church to launch a war in the name of faith after those countries actually issued some decrees against the church. Only through ordinary wars can we overthrow the rule of those descendants of wizards without worrying about the influence of the dragon veins of the country, and truly change the world.

"Ye, what you mean is that if the other party takes any measures, it's equivalent to giving us an excuse." Batley understood what Ye Zan meant.

"Yes, we need an excuse, otherwise the influence of the church alone is not enough to incite too many believers to follow us." Ye Zan nodded naturally, without any guilt for wanting to start a war.

There is a saying that "people who are not of my race must have a different heart", between Ye Zan and the people in the world of Chenxi, there is a world of cultivation. Therefore, Ye Zan didn't have the idea of ​​treating people in the Chenxi world as the same kind. Although, the people of Dawn World have nothing special in appearance, and they look no different from Europeans in the technological world.

"It... depends on how they react." Bartley felt a little impatient. After all, in terms of appearance, the people of Dawn World are very close to them. Moreover, people like them from the small world have a certain connection with wizards. Although, this connection is not so close, but there will always be some influence.

On Ye Zan's side, of course, he also saw Bartley's thoughts, but he didn't point it out specifically. Anyway, Batley and the others from the small world, even though they have completely escaped from the shackles of the small world, still have a contract with Ye Zan.
