After a period of reconstruction and renovation, the former dirty and dilapidated mining town has now undergone tremendous changes. In addition to the bustling "new city circle" outside, which is already three times the size of the old town, even the town
The central building has also undergone great changes. The "Cathedral of the Crow God", which was originally a temporary town hall, was replaced by a truly gorgeous church. This Gothic-style three-story spire building with black as the main color is used by believers.
It was built in three days through divine magic and prayer, but its scale and grandeur have reached the pinnacle level of various religious buildings in the world. It is said that during the three days of construction of the cathedral, the entire Holy City also continued to undergo three days of construction.
It became a new sensational "miracle" in the southern region. It was a pity that we were bombarded with information in the Dragon Kingdom in those days and did not have the chance to see this grand event - but then again,
The empire is vast, and the world under its name is basically carrying out countless grand activities every minute. If we all want to see them all without landing, then basically we don’t have to do anything. If nothing else, just register in the world.
The recorded New Year celebrations around the world now average thousands of times a day, and even professionals like Qian Qian can only look forward to it...
The Cathedral of the Crow God is located on the former site of the town hall, facing the Holy Tree Square. A group of powerful crow spirits are always hovering above it. They are the guards of the cathedral, the messengers and warriors of the Crow God, and the followers of the Crow God.
The Guardian - Actually, the crow spirit created by the little crow when he "entertained guests" forgot to take it back. It was simply used by the vanilla. As soon as you enter the church, you will see a grand and unusual long hall.
The prayer and baptism hall for believers. Behind the altar at the end of the long hall is a sculpture of the Crow God, which is more than ten meters high. Many sculptures of gods in the mortal world are enlarged by believers. The Little Crow is an exception. She
The sculpture is a miniature version of my actual height: it is really amazing to see a hundred-meter-tall bird with its head held high. The crow statue holds something in its mouth, which is a root that emits circles of translucent energy fluctuations and glows with light.
Metallic black feathers. This is an important sacred object of the Crow God Cult. It comes from the feathers on the Crow God. The energy it provides supports the outer shield of the entire Holy City, and at the same time illuminates the entire city, strengthens believers, and grants the church
Fuhe and the city's residents have 24-hour hot water and other systems to provide energy - in short, without it, not only will the holy city lose the invincible shield given by God, but the believers will have to boil their own water even for bathing...
This system in the end must be Lilina’s idea, right!?
Today is not a day for the Crow God Sect to hold religious activities, but a large number of believers have gathered in the cathedral. And except for some waiters, the rest are basically senior members of the sect. They were in yesterday's dream.
Those who received divine inspiration and gathered here early this morning, last night, the Crow God made important instructions in the visions of all the senior believers in the city: "There will be a meeting tomorrow!"
So today, hundreds of Crow God priests dressed in black robes gathered here.
Lilina, who was wearing a high-level Crow God uniform, was standing on the pulpit - she was truly "standing" on the pulpit. She was standing on the table, so she wouldn't be blocked by the table - while stamping her feet vigorously.
While shouting loudly: "Silence! Silence! Silence... Oh, no one is talking. Well, everyone is almost here, right?"
The senior believers who were originally silent looked at each other in confusion. They were already familiar with this strange "great sage" and they could only continue to keep a straight face and pretend to listen to the teachings seriously.
"Okay. They are all good children," Lilina nodded with satisfaction, quickly took out the lines and read them, "By God's blessing, the crow god and her father said... Oh, this sentence has been crossed out. 500 grams of potatoes, eggplant
300 grams, green onions...oh, this is showing through from the back..."
I finally couldn't bear it, but I couldn't kick Lilina down in front of so many believers, so I coughed lightly and said in the spiritual connection: "You try to talk nonsense again?"
"Ahem, in short, I have called everyone here today because I have something very important to announce." Lilina threw away the lines in her hand and looked seriously at the group of Crow God believers below who were waiting eagerly. "This is a direct message from God.
Instructions, the gods have been away from this world for tens of thousands of years. Recently, we have received news that all the gods are about to return. The world will undergo great changes as a result - and the Crow God, as the messenger of the King of the Gods, is responsible for bringing this...
The message has been conveyed to the mortal world. All of you present are the most devout followers of the Crow God. You will shoulder the important task of conveying God's will and convey this message to the entire world - within seven days."
After Lilina finished speaking, a buzzing discussion suddenly broke out among the believers, and it quickly became quiet after Lilina coughed lightly. Lilina hadn't finished speaking yet: "Some of you may not be ready yet, but
I must convey God's will. This world change is a signal for the return of the gods. You will know the specific situation from God in the first prayer this afternoon. This matter will be the first priority of the sect. I want to
You organize all the Crow God believers who can be dispatched to convey God's message. Even if the construction of the Holy City is suspended, you must ensure that the revelation is conveyed to the entire world in time - the Crow God is the God of messengers, so believers who assume the responsibility of messengers will also
With her temporary blessing, you can freely use the magic of space teleportation, but remember, you must not violate the doctrine, seek personal gain, or delay the mission. Who has anything to say now?"
I looked at Lilina, who was standing on the pulpit with a serious and solemn face. It took me a long time to resist the urge to go up and tear her down: You said this girl can be so serious, why is she so serious when she is with us?
What if I don’t have four or six?
But her current appearance is most likely just fake. This guy usually prepares so many masks when he is in front of outsiders. No one can know which one of her real expressions. Anyway, I don’t believe that she really has one.
The concept of caring about the country and its people...
Of course, the senior followers of the Crow God were a little confused about this sudden mission and asked some detailed questions. Lilina's answer was uniformly: the first prayer in the afternoon will tell everything from the mouth of God, so the believers had to wait until noon
While praying, I listened to the teachings from God - but in fact, the little crow was standing next to the pulpit, and the skinny little girl who was nibbling wood on the table was. Unfortunately, except for the vanilla, no one knew about it. "
What does the true form of the "Crow God" look like? Apart from occasionally seeing the huge Crow God flying from the sky, the only way for believers to communicate with their gods is to pray. There is a reason why Lilina insisted that they wait until the afternoon to pray.
:Little Crow still hasn’t memorized his lines yet...
Afterwards, Lilina dismissed the Crow God believers in the hall. I stepped forward and grabbed the little crow from the side of the pulpit. This girl had already chewed off a large piece of the pulpit made of black stone core wood. It seemed that
In addition to making this girl remember that she is not a duck, my task is also to make her realize that she is not a woodpecker either...
"Gah!" The little crow chewed wood chips in its mouth and happily pointed to its own sculpture not far away. "Master, who is that silly bird? Why is it holding my feathers in its mouth? Such a hard thing cannot build a nest...
"
I slapped my forehead and took Dingdang out of my pocket: "Now there is another God asking the same question as you did back then..."
"It seems like she can't memorize her lines well," Lilina looked at the little crow who was looking for mouse holes in the hall. She couldn't help but pat her forehead. "If it really doesn't work, we can only let Vanilla take action this time. Who is going to support Mengdu anyway?"
Likewise, people are easily deceived at the subconscious level."
Vanilla was lying on the small table next to the pulpit, sweating profusely, learning to write from Sakina. Suddenly she heard someone calling her name and looked up: "Me? No, no, how can I pretend to be natural...
God of Crows!”
"Little bird, can you let Vanilla take care of the noon Qi for you?" Lilina grabbed the little crow running around. "This way you don't have to memorize those ridiculously long lines."
The little crow immediately flapped his arms happily: "Gah! Sister Lilina is so good!"
Lilina pointed at the little crow and said to Vanilla: "Look, your God has spoken word."
Since the mysterious side mother star ruins located in this world will cause changes in the world after being activated, we must be prepared in advance. The compromise provided by Alleria has minimized the impact. But according to Sakina's statistics
, there are still about one-third of the "lost worlds" that will be affected. These lost worlds more or less contain "relics of the ancient gods", which are facilities of the old empire. After the mother star is activated, these facilities will be transmitted into
Dragon Kingdom, and their own defense devices will also be activated. It will undoubtedly be extremely dangerous if there are explorers staying in those lost worlds. At the same time, so many lost worlds undergo changes at the same time, and of course the people on the mother continent will also
You will notice that it is possible to trigger large-scale social unrest - for this world, the "Lost World" is an extremely important part of it, and the various resources and knowledge from the Lost World are closely related to everyone in this world.
Yes, if you think about how much turmoil it would cause if one day all the oil fields on the earth suddenly stopped producing oil and replaced Coca-Cola, you can imagine how much impact it would have on the mother continent if one-third of the Lost World suddenly turned into an empty city.
.So people on the mother continent need to be prepared in advance, but it is definitely unrealistic to directly send a spaceship to distribute leaflets around the world - that will cause a second panic, just like a group of people suddenly popping up before all the oil fields on the earth are exhausted.
Just like the Martians driving UFOs announced that they were responsible for this incident, before humans die from the oil war, social unrest will probably happen first. Therefore, Lilina, an expert who has studied social group psychology, gave us a suggestion:
Inform through a channel that is part of the world itself: religion.
Religious activities in the mother continent are very frequent, and almost everyone believes in one or two gods. The various gods and sects that exist here are almost as common as eating and drinking water for ordinary people. They are still in the stage of believing in "gods".
In the era of "Apocalypse", it is feasible to use the mouth of "god" to create a public opinion offensive. At the same time, it can also expand the influence of Crow God Sect and Dragon God Sect-half-dragon people will also participate in this event. Sona is already in
Everything was arranged with Lin's help.
Large-scale religious public opinion can effectively prevent civilian class explorers from setting foot on lost worlds that are no longer safe in the next few days. According to Sakina, explorers are quite "superstitious" because every day
When coming into contact with extremely dangerous things, no matter how perfect the preparations and equipment are, they can't deal with the indescribable traps in the ancient ruins. So they believe in all luck, omens, divine revelations and anything similar. The massive scale of Crow God Sect and Dragon God Sect
Propaganda can allow more than 90% of explorers to leave those lost worlds that are announced to be closed. However, some lost worlds have established fixed human settlements and are even stationed by armies from various countries.
It is more difficult to use a large lost world as a half colony - without using more drastic methods, it is difficult to drive away such "guests" by relying on religious propaganda alone. In this regard, we have also taken some action.
Alaya and Alleria are in charge of this.
Alleria set out for the Sky Tower yesterday to take over control of the Gundar Colossi there. Almost all lost worlds where empire ruins exist are guarded by Gundar Colossi, but just like those in the Sky Tower Square, all Gundar Colossi
The Colossi are all in a state of chaos. To use them again, you must restore control of the home star's guard system, and the control center of these Colossus troops is the Sky Tower.
Alleria came back near noon and told us that all the Colossus soldiers had regained control.
Sakina told us the legend of these colossus soldiers on the mother continent: "Only the most dangerous ancient god ruins have colossus soldiers. They are the most terrifying existence among all ruin guardians, so they have a great reputation. All explorers
I know at least a dozen stories about colossi soldiers massacring intruders. "Encountering a colossus when going out" is the most unlucky curse in our industry. The legends of these metal colossi are widely distributed on the mainland, and many bards can even find them making up nonsense.
The popular books created by them are all stories such as "The Knight and the Colossus", "The Hero Fights the Colossus", "The Legend of the Forty Days War between Prince Rein and the Colossus Soldiers", etc. They are all made up - in fact, there are no stories so far.
Anyone who finds a way to defeat those colossi, they are a nightmare that everyone knows but no one can defeat. But fortunately, the colossi soldiers have fixed guard areas. They will only patrol along fixed lines and expel within a fixed range.
Intruders. So after figuring out this rule, people can explore the ruins with peace of mind. Just like the Sky Tower, the back gate square is full of Colossus soldiers, but it is still a very popular ruins."
It was Sakina's introduction that made us think that we can use Colossus soldiers to disperse the settlements near the ruins of the empire - they are things that people in this world are already familiar with, and the image of invincibility has been deeply rooted in people's hearts, making these Colossi soldiers even attack
It's more effective than sending 10,000 Imperial soldiers armed to the nails. After all, ordinary people in this world may resist ignorantly and fearlessly when faced with unfamiliar Imperial soldiers, but when faced with the infamous Colossus of Gunda, they will definitely run away.
Faster than the runaway Lilina.
"Boss, you can't do this..." Lilina looked at me resentfully and muttered.
"In this way, the preparations here are basically completed. Dispel all the idle people near the ruins of the empire, recover the old facilities that can still be used, and release the Sky City in three days. Next, let the Shadow City do the work.
Be ready to receive it." I held my chin and sorted out the things to be done in the next few days. "I discussed it with Sandora and decided to mount the entire world into the shadow space, just like Avalon.
The same, it becomes an extra space under the control of Shadow City."
This is the result of my discussion with Sandora last night. The main reason for doing this is that this world is really small - the detectable and stable space range is only one light-year, and the mother continent planet is located in this light-year.
The central location of the small world is like a pocket universe compared to most known worlds. It is such a small universe that it is very difficult to set up administrative levels as a world (for example: should we send a film police?
Are you coming here to be the governor of the world?), why not let it become a component of the shadow space. This small universe was obviously distorted after the impact of that year. It seems that even if I opened up and blocked the world barrier,
After a while, in the end, only a small area like the Empire's capital galaxy was protected.
If this project is completed, this world will become a very special place. First of all, the world itself is divided into two layers. The surface layer is the mother continent planet and the nearby one light-year space, which is what Sajina and the others are familiar with.
In the mortal world, most people on the mother continent can come into contact with it in their lifetime, and all they can understand will be the universe within this light-year, and the inner layer is the space where the mysterious system’s mother star is located. We learn from various lost worlds
The collected home star facilities will be stored there. In the future, this inner space will also become the base camp and new birthplace of the mysterious side of the new empire. And for the mortals of the mother continent, it will become a place in religious legends -
—The Kingdom of God.
And this entire world is mounted in the shadow space. Like Avalon, it exists as a "district" of the capital of the empire. Although it is countless times larger than Avalon, its own administrative level is still "
Neighborhood".
Then we may open up knowledge about the empire to ordinary people in this world. After all, they can be considered living in the empire's ruled area. As time goes by, they will also become a very special "family". Maybe they can't be like
Other tribes also have powerful power. It may take many years for their civilization level to catch up with other vassal worlds, but they do not need to be good in this area. In Sandora's plan, this world should be another long-term plan.
The "nursery" - the imperial deified observation point.
Now that we already have the Crow God, in the foreseeable future, there will definitely be more individuals with divinity, or information disturbance power, in the empire. The next one may be around us, Qianqian, sister-sama, Lin
Snow, anyone can suddenly become a god overnight, and then our Imperial Ministry of Religious Affairs (currently Lilina is the minister, secretary, director general, executive member, receptionist, tea girl, cleaner, and office supplies) will organize a
The corresponding religion tests the power and power level of the new gods in this world.
This is the future plan we came up with last night.
(PS: A video related to the city on the mysterious side of the empire - City of Angels has been released. You can find it on your own in the bar, or search for the keyword "City in the Sky" on Youku. I guess that stuff is a lot more intuitive.)
