"...So we say that the goddess's grace turns into raindrops, giving birth to the spirituality of all things; her eyes turn into stars, shining on the vast universe; when she feels lonely, life understands sadness; when she
During this longing, all the souls gained emotions; in the long, lightless sea, He looked at every soul that fell into eternal sleep, and washed away the stains.
The turbid and the pure are kept, so that both the guilty and the innocent can live in His worry-free kingdom. We worship the great goddess and pray for Her only kindness among all living beings in the world, so that the merciful will be rewarded.
It makes the poor dream of their destination, makes the guilty know good intentions, and makes the unintentional feel their destiny. It is like this when you are born, and it is like this when you return..."
It was very quiet in the small church. Only a young but clear voice echoed, enthusiastically praising the great deeds of the goddess, hoping that all living beings in the world would gather here and be inspired by her glorious grace. Her mood was like this
She was deeply involved, and her voice was so full and powerful, as if she believed every word in her words without any doubt. However, the audience could not hear the slightest fanaticism and indignation unique to the fanatics from her sermons. Only the holiness and
Just piety.
The audience under the altar had unknowingly relaxed their vigilance. Even Mitch pursed his lips and said nothing, looking particularly serious.
Preaching is a moment that cannot be blasphemed, and even God’s eyes will fall here. In this continent with a strong atmosphere of faith, almost everyone believes in such legends. Therefore, unless you are an incorrigible blasphemer, no one
People will disturb a pastor when he is preaching. Regardless of whether you believe it or not, you should listen attentively. This is the most basic respect for God, faith, and the destination of the soul.
However, under this serious appearance, how many teachings can penetrate into the ears, bypass deep-rooted prejudices, and be accepted by their minds?
After Medien finished speaking the last words, her voice seemed to be split into two, with one half going upwards and rising into the church steeple; the other half going downwards and blending into the tiny dust. The only thing left in the middle was the audience who were either thinking or confused.
Or hesitant, or suspicious look. He
We must have a lot of doubts, right? This is a normal thing. After all, the goddess has been sleeping for a long time, and the Creation Goddess Cult has also been hidden for many years. The ancient creation myth has not been circulated in the world for a long time, which must have caused living beings to forget their creator, and all things have been lost.
own origin.
Today, Metien stands on this altar to change this situation. She is ready to face all kinds of questions from the audience: Is there really the goddess you mentioned? He did create it.
Our universe and earthly beings? Why do we never hear about Him?
Honorable names? Then she will answer them one by one to let them understand what the real gods should be. It is by no means like the original God of Night, who abandoned his believers and the mortal gods of the Kingdom of God out of fear of his own demise, but is willing to do whatever he wants.
A born god who dedicates himself to all sentient beings in the world and is selfless and fraternal.
Only those who are born have nothing and are the purest, so they can obtain divinity; while gods transformed from mortals have too many desires mixed in their emotions. They struggle in human nature, but have not yet obtained divinity, so they are in great pain.
Come and listen! Come and question! Then, come and inspire!
There is no need to worry about what is blasphemy, and there is no need to worry about what is true. The goddess loves every one of His children equally. Whether it is you, him, or us, we can all get warmth and comfort in His arms. Isn’t that right?
What do you need most right now?
Metien closed the scripture and stared at the audience below with a pair of emerald eyes: "I've finished speaking! How is it? Do you have anything to ask?"
Kadora and the others looked at each other without speaking, and the atmosphere became a little cold for a while.
Xie Mi, an audience member outside the venue, thought it might be because everyone was not familiar with each other yet and was a bit reserved. She was planning to jump out and be a guest questioner, which would not only break the awkwardness of the silence for the friends, but also stimulate the audience's emotions and make them
Relaxing was like killing two birds with one stone. She was very proud, but at this moment, Mitch, who had been pursed his lips and said nothing, suddenly said: "What about other than that?"
"What?" Metien didn't react for a moment.
"I mean, you have already told the story of the goddess very clearly. She is indeed a great crown prince, but what about other things?" Mitch asked with a serious expression and meticulously: "
Regarding the strength and foundation of your religion, how many demigod-level experts do you have? How many inherited holy relics do you have? Influence
Which area of the continent has the scope expanded to? Which channel of power do we control? If we are willing to convert to the faith of the goddess, what is the most basic treatment? For example, can we obtain the magic potion formula? Can we redeem the magic potion based on our contribution?
Materials for medicine? Or even help us become stronger quickly through some special method?"
"Eh?" Meridian never expected that the audience did raise questions, but these questions all hit her blind spot. This can't be blamed on the girl for not thinking carefully. In fact, this is incompatible with the missionary in her understanding.
It was far different. Whether it was when Lin Ge was preaching or when she was watching the pastors of the United Order preaching, she had never heard them talk about similar content. It was nothing more than the deeds of God, his teachings and his treatment of believers.
Just expectations.
"Such things," she asked hesitantly, "are they mentioned in sermons in the Eastern Continent?"
"certainly."
The boy raised his head and stared at the girl on the altar with a pair of amber eyes: "The goddess is a great god. The sect she leads should also have corresponding power, right? If
If believers know this, they will feel more at ease, right?"
But that’s using strength to attract the weak, rather than using principles to convince believers, right?
If you choose to follow them just for the sake of power, wouldn't it be equivalent to making the same mistake as those gods and humans in Eden in the old world?
Metien hesitated to speak, but she suddenly discovered that the audience in the audience all had the same expression, plain and fanatical. Their expectations and wishes for God were so plain, but they were so disappointed in the power that God has and can give them.
Fanatical, all of a sudden, the girl suddenly understood
Where did she go wrong? The entire Eastern Continent’s religious system and belief atmosphere were completely different from the atmosphere she was familiar with. Rather, it was the belief atmosphere that her adoptive father Yang Ke and her brother Ling Ge had painstakingly created in the past.
Are you the only alien in the world?
The original God of Night was expelled not just because he abandoned his believers, but because he was unable to give his followers stronger power to help them resist or even expel the invaders and protect their homeland. Perhaps he knew this from the beginning
I know that sooner or later I will be abandoned by believers
So they decided to seize the opportunity and betray the believers? If you think about it from this perspective, the original intention of the believers of the Yuanye Church to resist invasion and protect their homeland is certainly good, but their attitude towards their faith is also
Isn’t it a bit... realistic and utilitarian?
Gods use believers as anchors to stabilize their own existence and prevent them from being eroded and going crazy; believers take refuge in the power of gods and gain a sense of security from religion and an increase in their own strength. If this connection is lost, the relationship between gods and gods will be lost.
Believers, religions and beliefs will become extremely fragile, and can even be described as walking on thin ice.
So, can the Holy Goddess Religion give them what they want?
No doubt it can.
Regardless of other things, in terms of extraordinary pathways and magic potion formulas, St. Shalia masters all the sequence formulas of the fourteen extraordinary pathways, and the herb garden of the hotel is planted with various rare magic potions, most of which come from that person.
The deceased tree ladies, a few came from Shaesta
It may take time to accumulate the collections collected by Shelia during her journey. Combining the two to cultivate high-sequence extraordinary beings and magicians, but it will help these dozen young girls in the church who have just awakened their spirituality to truly step into the mysterious world.
It's just a matter of effort.
But, like this, can it also be called faith?
When faith is put on a scale and weighed against a mortal's own desires, does it violate his original intention?
The girl stood on the altar, stunned and didn't know how to answer.
She didn't speak, and the others quietly waited for an answer, but the waiting time was too long, so that an invisible atmosphere gradually spread, making the church so quiet that you could hear a needle drop.
After not getting a clear answer for a long time, Mitch seemed a little impatient: "Can't you tell us the answer? If you want to preach to us, you should at least show some sincerity, right?"
"Don't make any noise!" Leticia stabbed him: "Medine is thinking, what are you in a hurry for?"
After saying that, she glanced at the other party with contempt: "I heard that you are still the boss of these guys. You have experienced hundreds of battles. In the end, all you learned from the battles is impulsiveness and impatience? You have no patience at all."
Unlike me, I have sneaked into the lair of Silver Moon and the secret data room of the Witch Association. How could I have accomplished such an amazing achievement if I didn't have enough patience?
Thinking of this, Leticia couldn't help but feel proud. She raised her head contemptuously and pointed her chin at Mitch, making him very angry. She wanted to have a good argument with this arrogant guy and tell her what I learned from the battlefield.
There are many more things than you. But Kado pulled the boy's sleeve again and shouted in his ear hastily: "Don't be angry, Mitch! Think about what sister Regina said!"
This sentence was like a magical spell, which made Mitch calm down all of a sudden. Although his face was still ugly, he no longer wanted to argue with Leticia, so he turned away with a stern face and hugged her with both hands.
Sitting in her original position without saying a word, Katora and the others looked at each other in confusion. Although they successfully stopped a friction, why did they feel that the atmosphere had become more awkward?
Metien, who was on the altar, didn't come back to her senses until this moment. She didn't notice what happened just now, but she could also notice that there was a stiff air around her. She hesitated and asked in a low voice what was going on in the audience.
Audience: "If, I mean if, if the Holy Goddess Religion cannot provide you with what you want, wouldn't you be willing to believe in the goddess?"
Neither Mitch nor Kadora spoke, but the expressions on their faces undoubtedly told Metien the answer. Thinking about it, according to Mr. Yanke, the essence of faith is the process of gaining comfort. But for individuals,
The comfort that everyone wants is different. Mayteen may feel that in a large environment, everyone supports each other, resonates with each other, and interacts with each other because of the same belief.
The process of mutual growth can greatly soothe the scars in these people's hearts and allow them to regain the courage to face reality and difficulties. But Mitch and the others feel from the bottom of their hearts that these are meaningless, and only the power visible to the naked eye is
, and the power that can be reached with your hands, can give you a sense of security. Only by entrusting your faith to such a god can you find a suitable destination.
Metien doesn't know who is right and who is wrong among these two ideas - or in other words, there are so many contradictory ideas in the world. After all, the different situations individuals experience in different environments will change their perception of the world.
There are so many people on the Internet, how can we expect everyone to think the same way? Belief is not about homogeneity, it should be about empathy.
She knew, she could understand, and she even felt that if she were in the shoes of Mitch and Katora, she would definitely think so. But even so, even so, she still felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.
sadness. Is it sadness that I cannot help others, or is it sadness for this land that combines faith and
Are you sad for a continent that is equated with power? At first, the joy and blessings that the goddess conveyed to the world and creatures she created were not pure? Later, the gods of Eden and the Mirror Star regarded power as
Isn't it tragic to go against fate and the law for the purpose of preaching and evangelism?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At this moment, the girl suddenly understood why her brother Linge had been called a "true believer" by so many people.
He does not pray to gods, does not act in the name of gods, does not rejoice in God's approval, and does not act for God's expectations. Even when blessing others, he never does it in the name of gods, no matter from which angle.
He is an unqualified believer, right? However, at the same time, he does not ask for grace from the gods, does not make wishes to the gods for gifts, and does not ask for strength from the gods. He thinks that he is a mortal, so he should do what a mortal should do.
thing, that's enough.
The elder brother learned this from his father, but he did not learn it himself. No wonder, in the end, his father handed Tianxin Church over to Linge, because he had already seen who had the qualifications to become a true believer, right?
Metien suddenly let out a long sigh and gently closed the heavy scripture with a dull sound. The audience and friends in the audience were all confused and confused. Could it be that she was preaching?
, did it end in such an anticlimactic manner?
Gloria looked anxiously from behind the pillar, and she kept urging: "Medine seems very discouraged, what should we do, Bai Ye? We have to find a way to help her! What do you think we should do?"
"
"How do I know?" Bai Ye said coldly.
"How come you don't know?" Gloria was shocked: "Isn't it your idea? Let Metien preach to his peers, and he said that children are easier to fool. How easy is it to fool him?
?”
"That's because you got it wrong." Bai Ye sneered: "You can indeed treat those little devils as children, but do children mean innocence and ignorance? Sometimes they are much more mature than adults. What I said is easy to fool,
It means that some methods that don’t work with adults are very effective for them.”
"So, what exactly is the solution?"
"Make no mistake, Gloria, you are the nun of Tianxin Church. Why don't you think about it with your stupid head? I really doubt that its decorative effect is much greater than its actual effect."
"Then... let me think about it, let me think about it..." Gloria said with a bitter look on her face: "What should I do if I can't think of it?"
"If you can't think of it -"
Bai Ye suddenly stopped and did not continue. Gloria was about to ask questions when she suddenly heard a steady and powerful footsteps coming from the direction of the church door, followed closely by a voice that everyone was familiar with.
: "Why are you all here in a daze?"
Everyone's eyes were focused on the uninvited guest.
After opening the door, Lin Ge faced the dark gaze without any panic. He looked at his sister who looked helpless on the altar, and then at the group of audience members below who were looking at each other. He didn't know what to say based on a certain reason.
With a keen intuition, or based on his understanding of his sister, he quickly understood what happened, so he smiled slightly, walked to the prayer area, came to a game console half a person tall, and pressed the start button on the back with ease.
.
A bright flash of light flashed across the dark electronic screen, followed by brilliant colors and strange-shaped LOGOs, as well as some game villains made of pixels, jumping around on the screen, leaving the young girls and boys of the Ashes Guerrilla.
Startled.
"It looks like you guys have nothing to do."
The young man gently patted the iron case of the game console and made a crisp sound: "How about playing a few games first?"
