He thought that if he said these words, the priest would be angry or scold him.
But the priest did not do so, and even nodded: "Yes, just being a dog with the court! As for why?"
The priest glanced at the gods below and said coldly: "Because you, no, all of us, were severely chopped by the imperial court before!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed at the god who said that he was not a dog for the imperial court.
"I remember you. Your cultivation level should have reached the upper fifth level before. How come it has become the middle fifth level now?"
"Is the incense god's body broken into pieces?"
The face of the god Zhuan suddenly turned ugly.
"Priest, what do you mean by this?"
"What do you mean? I mean to tell you not to be angry! Listen to me carefully! Don't you want to rebuild your incense and fire god body?"
The priest said coldly.
In the past, these high-ranking gods would have become angry long ago when they heard such pretentious words.
But when they heard the hidden meaning in the priest's words, they couldn't even express their anger. Their eyes lit up, looking at the priest's eyes full of desire!
Even the rather unhappy Shen Zhuan was no exception: "Is there anything you can do, sir? Is it possible that being a dog for the imperial court can help us rebuild our reputation?"
They were excited again.
But I feel worried and feel that this kind of thing is impossible.
After all, the people have now lost trust in the gods.
They work for the imperial court and act as dogs for the imperial court...
These common people, untouchables, will only thank the court in the end, and will not thank them at all. Naturally, the incense and faith will not fall on them, and they can only do things for the court in vain.
Seeing their depressed looks, the priest smiled slightly and said lightly: "Who told you that what we want is the faith of the people under your command?"
"Um?"
The gods present were startled, and immediately, a strange light appeared in their eyes.
Don’t you want the people under your rule to have faith?
To be a dog for the imperial court? To reduce the authority of the gods under other gods?
A light flashed in their minds, allowing them to gradually react and realize.
indeed.
The people under their rule now have lost trust in these gods and goddesses because of what happened in Nankang Mansion and Xuanling Academy.
But in other state capitals, the people under the rule of other divine monarchs have only heard some rumors at most. After all, they are too far away from the Tianyue Divine System.
And if they come forward at this time, under the guise of working for the imperial court, to seek justice for the people over there, wouldn't they be able to harvest the incense and faith of those people?
"But if this happens, doesn't it mean that we have robbed them of their faith? Will they be able to endure this?"
A god couldn't help but said.
Incense, faith.
It is a very precious thing to the gods.
Not to mention that the two parties are not under the command of the same god, even if they are both Zhengyin Shen Zhuan under the same god, it is very common for them to fight over the belief in incense.
Now, they are reducing the power in the hands of these gods for the imperial court.
On the one hand, they also seek to steal their incense and faith.
If this angers them, a civil war among the gods will probably break out!
However.
This time, the priest did not speak, but another priest sneered.
"Since you can think of harvesting incense and faith from the gods under the command of other gods and the people under their rule, why can't you understand these things?"
he said.
With contemptuous eyes, he said lightly.
"We work for the imperial court, but we really do it for
Will the imperial court help?"
Every one of the gods present shook their heads silently.
They may have been important ministers in the court, but they have become gods for so many years, and some of them became gods even a hundred years ago.
Their feelings for the imperial court have already faded with the passage of time.
What's left is more about self-interest.
Even if there is loyalty, it is towards the gods, not the court. After all, the court cannot govern them, but the gods can deprive them of their divine status and demote them from Zhengyin gods to wandering gods.
Let’s get to this point.
They also understood what the priests were thinking.
They came forward.
The authority of the gods under the command of other gods may be weakened, but they will not be directly slashed like the Tianyue Divine System. Ninety percent of the wings of the gods under their command were cut off, which is almost the same as that of the gods.
There is no difference between the polished commander.
The authority of the god Zhuan of the Tianyue Divine System, the authority of the Spiritual Academy, and his subordinates were reduced by 90%.
So.
They came forward to represent the imperial court to reduce the authority of other spiritual academies under the command of the gods. Then it would not be as exaggerated as reducing it by 90%. Maybe a symbolic reduction of two or three would be enough.
In this way, a full 60% of the sentiment is saved.
This kindness, in exchange for some of the incense and faith of the people under their command, is definitely a fair trade.
And this way.
The gods of the Tianyue Divine System can make up for the incense faith they lost due to the disaster at Xuanlingyuan.
The other gods under the command of the gods also had explanations to the imperial court.
"But the problem is, this is just a one-time deal."
At this moment, Youshen Zhuan reacted and couldn't help but speak.
This plan sounds good.
But in fact, it will not last long, because it is impossible for the gods of the Tianyue God System to represent the imperial court and reduce the power of the gods of other gods every few years. Otherwise, it will not take a few years if they continue to chip away at it.
I'm afraid all the gods will become the dogs of the imperial court.
But if you don't cut it off.
Relying on the divine power of the incense harvested this time, they can maintain their golden body of incense for another two to three years at most.
What about two or three years from now?
At that time, without the support of the incense golden body, and without the current way to harvest other gods and the incense faith of the people, they can only stare blankly and watch their divine power disappear day by day, and their realm fall day by day.
Who can bear this?
Hearing the words of this deity, the deities of the Tianyue Divine System who were still delighted at first also reacted, followed, nodded in agreement, and spoke again and again.
Hear their words.
The priests, however, were not angry. They had long expected that the god would ask this question, but they had also prepared an answer for it, that is.
"When the time comes, the Lord God will have a plan of his own. Don't worry. If you don't believe me, don't you still believe in the Lord God?"
Hear the faint words of the priests.
The gods present were startled, and their original worries had indeed dissipated a lot!
