When Ringer heard this name, he was slightly startled. At the same time, what came to his mind was the full name of the "Religious Decree", which is the "Decree on the Restriction of the Operation and Preaching Rights of Illegal Church Organizations such as the Prayer Meeting for the Spirits and Dru Yin Cult"
", the word "etc." includes a total of seventeen religions, and the Fertile Tu Sect is one-seventeenth.
It is worth noting that whether it is the Fertile Church and other churches that have been ignored in the past, or the Druyin Church that appears in the text of the decree, they essentially have the same origin, which is always placed at the top of the "illegal church list"
Spiritual Prayer Meeting.
That is the origin of "animism". The founder is Tumi, a recognized saint in human history. It is said that he once enlightened on the top of a mountain and through arduous practice, he clarified the laws of "animism" and used this as his foundation.
The core teachings created the first religious spiritual prayer meeting in history, and settled here with believers, built houses and temples, and gradually formed a huge city-state, the land of all spirits, Aldes.
That's right, the ancient Aldes language that Ringo learned in college came from this. It is said to be the language formed when Saint Tomi and his followers communicated with each other. It contains the mysteries of the spirituality of heaven and earth. Who can understand the laws of language?
, who will understand the core of "animism".
Regardless of whether such legends are true or not, at least in terms of its historical significance, the ancient Aldes language is the first systematic language in the history of human civilization. Whether it is the higher education institutions in the Western Continent or the feudal aristocratic education in the Eastern Continent,
It has been included in the required courses.
In terms of inheritance relationship, modern human civilization directly inherits the spiritual core of Aldes, the land of all spirits.
There is a clear line that can prove this point of view: Abraham and Baimon, among the twelve followers of St. Thumi-later known as the Twelve Saints, established the White Gryphon Empire and the Volemf Dynasty respectively.
, the White Griffon Empire later split into the United Kingdom of White City-States and the Kingdom of Zoroastrian, while the Volemf Dynasty split into the Kingdom of Britannia and the Kingdom of Minsuria.
The United Kingdom of White City-States completed the democratic revolution under the leadership of "Joan of Arc" and established the current White City-State Republic on the ruins; the Kingdom of Minsuria rapidly grew due to the iron-blooded rule of "Red-bearded King Barbarossa"
It became stronger and was later renamed the Great Empire of Mindelias; the Kingdom of Britannia was led by "Marshal Napoleon" to the National Salvation Alliance and won the Hundred Years' War that established the country's foundation. Only then did the Kingdom of Britannia come into being.
.
Except for the annexed Kingdom of Zoroastrian, the three most powerful countries in the Western Continent today are all closely related to Saint Tuomi and the Spiritual Prayer Society he founded. It is said that the same is true for the distant Eastern Continent.
Even closer.
But the glory of the past cannot save the current decline. The history of animism was once glorious. However, in the age of steam, their dominance was replaced by the Steam Order, which mastered the core technology of steam engines, and began to show signs of decline; Steam Jihad
After that, the alliance of religious groups rose strongly, not only curbing their development for the second time, but also promulgating the "Religious Decree" to suppress the most threatening Spiritual Prayer Society and its branches, resulting in the wandering church that has disappeared for thousands of years.
Reappearing in the world... I have to say that history will always take the most ironic path.
The man in front of me who calls himself Rochelle is probably a member of the Wandering Church. He has lost the church where God lives. From now on, he can only build simple shrines and offer devout prayers while traveling.
The Fertile Earth Sect is one of the branches of the Spiritual Prayer Society. The believers of this sect have further refined St. Thumi's "animism" and believe that "all things have spirituality, and all spirituality comes from the earth under their feet."
"The fertile soil has spirit, shapes all things in the world, and is the mother of all living things." Therefore, the deity is called: Earth Mother Titan.
Similar to their views, there are the Druyin Sect that respects the "spirit of nature", the Ancestral Spirit Sect that respects the "spirit of the ancestors", the Holy Spring Monks that respect the "spirit of spring water", etc., but basically they all learn from the existence of all things.
A branch derived from spiritual theory.
Walker is Rochelle's position in the sect, similar to the leading pastor, bishop, saint, etc. in the sect union. It can be seen that his status should be high, otherwise he would not be able to develop such a majestic and deep temperament. While Ringer was thinking a lot in his mind, Rochelle spoke again and said in a deep voice: "I traveled all the way from the northern 'City of Chongsteel' Rayatom to this place. Every thousand miles I walked, I set up a shrine.
Tell all the spirits. What I saw during this period was that among the people in the world, there were all those who ridiculed and laughed at, and there were also those who gathered to watch. This is human nature, and it is beyond reproach. Only you are willing to leave a square inch of silence for me, so that I can have faith.
Sincerity should be treated with empathy or even understanding. As the saint once said, if anyone treats me with sincerity, he must also treat him with sincerity. Therefore, I should express my gratitude to you again, and hope that the spirit of the earth will give you
Your Mother Earth’s blessing.”
He solemnly performed a simple etiquette, which should have been passed down a long time ago and was full of solemn meaning.
The "City of Chongsteel" Leiatom is located in the northernmost edge of the Kingdom of Great Brita. During the steam era, Saint Midea once issued the "December Declaration" here, announcing the establishment of the Alpha Knights. If
Rochelle really walked from that city to Rosting, so his will and patience can be said to be very amazing, because the distance between the two cities is conservatively estimated to be thousands of miles away.
"It's nothing." Ringer simply replied: "It's just due courtesy."
Rochelle shook her head: "But it is difficult for many people to do it."
Ringer didn't want to talk too much with him and already had the idea of leaving. Because so far, the seventeen religions that believe in "animism", including the Spiritual Prayer Society, are still in the process of being unified by various countries' officials and religious groups.
The wanted status is said to be because they took excessive measures when resisting the "Religious Decree", which even caused casualties and had a very bad impact.

However, before he said goodbye, Rochelle had already withdrew her gaze and fell on the theater in front of her. Looking at its mottled white exterior wall, there was a look of reminiscing in her eyes, and he spoke.
Telling a piece of unknown history: "This is the Central Theater. It was first built a century ago and has been renovated and renovated three times. Its history is not longer than other theaters on Square Street, but it has unique historical significance.
Because Shakespeare's "Macbeth" and "Hamlet" were both performed here, and at the same time, the most popular legend in the Rustin area was also born: "The Diary of March."
"..."
Ringer could only remain silent. He felt that the scene in front of him was really ridiculous: he was listening to a devout believer talking about the history of theater and art, and just a few minutes ago, this believer was praying in the direction of the theater. Could it be that
Are the two indistinguishable from each other? A devout believer must also be an upper-class audience with artistic accomplishment?
"In fact," Rochelle's voice came in a low voice through the dim light in the streets: "Few people know that in order to build the Central Theater, a church was demolished here, and the statues of gods enshrined in it were demolished.
, was also smashed into powder by those responsible for the construction with hammers and chisels. The memory will be dusty and faded. To this day, let alone outsiders, I am afraid that even the residents of this neighborhood have forgotten the owner of that church.
, I forgot the name of that statue."
When Ringer heard this, his expression moved slightly, thinking of Rochelle's action of praying to the theater just now. Somehow, he took the initiative to speak: "Is it the Earth Mother you believe in?"
"No."
Rochelle shook her head and replied calmly: "The name of that noble, kind and tolerant god is Quanlingtifu."
"It is also the god that the fellow monks of the Holy Spring Monks believe in."
