When it comes to creating gods, Xi Tong is professional, even more professional than the people in the Vatican.
After all, Zhan Chitong's world is confronting the birdmen, and any birdman there is a living god.
Ye Yiruo and others only had the mentality of "gaining favor with the NPC" and "triggering hidden tasks", but Xi Tong planned to get a female pope for fun.
Who stipulated that Jesus must have a tall nose and deep eyes? Who stipulated that Jesus must be white?
If you look at the Buddha statues before the Sui Dynasty, they all look like foreign monks, but what about after the Tang Dynasty? They were completely Chineseized, right?
The most powerful weapon in China is not urban management, nor has it been since ancient times, but "with Chinese characteristics". Whatever you do, it must be Chineseized when it comes to this land.
The Western world has believed in it for more than 1,800 years. However, God appeared in the East with the appearance of an Eastern person. This is enough to subvert the three views of Western believers. In comparison, what does the authority of the Vatican mean?
It was decided to create a papal state in the east and a state of China on the land of the Qing Empire.
Xi Tong took a look at the map and finally chose Huacheng.
This city originally had immortal legends, which are very tenable in "since ancient times". Moreover, it has an advantageous geographical location, being the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road and the southern gate of the Qing Empire.
This was also the window for the Qing Empire to understand the outside world. It was from here that Westerners came into contact with the Qing Empire. Correspondingly, the churches here also had the largest number of believers.
Xi Tong's demand for the world of the Qing Empire is faith, and Ma Bian is the Jie Hu Jie Ma system, making him a god of wealth worshiped by thousands of people to gather the power of faith.
People's belief in money is more persistent, firm and fanatical than their belief in religion.
There are atheists, and there are many of them, but few people can live without money. Well, this is talking about 9102, during the Qing Empire, the two were exactly the opposite.
The small-scale peasant economy of the Qing Empire was notoriously stubborn. Men farmed and women weaved, and they were self-sufficient. Even the Western world relied on strong ships and cannons to crush this situation.
The route planned by Xi Tong for Jack Ma is destined to be difficult. Even with the status of a red-top businessman, it is impossible to change people's thinking and change people's economic habits in a short period of time.
Therefore, religion, a means of immediate results, is indispensable.
Both hands must be grasped, both hands must be hard, and both hands must be big!
So, Xi Tong opened Ye Yiruo's communication.
"Not bad, the situation has opened up so quickly."
Hearing Xi Tong's compliment, Ye Yiruo's eyes narrowed slightly, and a happy smile almost overflowed.
"No... I simply thought that the hidden mission of the Angels was related to the church, so I wanted to try my luck."
Xi Tong got straight to the point, "Are you interested in becoming the pope of the Eastern world? No, no, repeat, are you interested in becoming the pope of this world?"
pope?
Ye Yiruo's mind suddenly went blank, and he almost went offline due to violent mental fluctuations.
"I don't believe in God. It's a bit inappropriate to be the Pope. And..."
Xi Tong said firmly: "I say you can, then you can! Have confidence in yourself!"
Ye Yiruo hesitated for a few seconds, "Okay, I can give it a try."
So, Xi Tong made up a story for Ye Yiruo:
The general plot plagiarizes the Bible. Jesus is the bearer of the will of the God of Light in the human world. He suffered on behalf of mankind without any tampering. However, Jesus did not resurrect after his crucifixion. Instead, he completed his mission of spreading the gospel and returned to heaven.
As for the subsequent resurrection and subsequent contents, they were all fabricated by some careerists in the church for their own selfish purposes. The Pope and the Papal State also exist illegally and are organizations established by blasphemers.
Ye Yiruo and several other archangels patrolled the lower world and discovered the truth of the matter, so they set things right, traced back to the source, and re-established the order of light faith.
It is a third-rate cliche plot that even the authors of Qidian.com despise. However, once this kind of remarks spread, it will inevitably cause an uproar in the Western world, and its lethality is comparable to that of Ivan the Great.
However, it is this kind of non-startling remarks that can create topics, controversies and attention.
The church is very unpopular in the Western world, and people who are resentful and dissatisfied with it will definitely join the opposition, even if they do not believe in the teachings of the Eastern world, or do not believe in God at all.
The worst situation is also the difference between the Eastern and Western religious circles, and confrontations like this are not uncommon.
In order to support his rhetoric, Xi Tong cited a large number of religious classics, poems praising the light, novels, biographies, etc.
In particular, the Bohemian lord's large collection of books is not only large, but also all classics. All the books that were originally worthless are now put to use.
Apart from one Bible, there are no other heavyweight works in the Western world. Obviously, one Bible cannot support a complete Kingdom of God, as there are too many gaps in it.
The classics that Xi Tong produced not only have a complete timeline, but also have a clear historical line and rich character lines. They have extremely great literary and religious value.
If China is said to be glorious for five thousand years, then the Kingdom of Light is glorious for fifty thousand years, or even half a million years.
It’s not that Xi has conquered others’ ambitions and destroyed his own prestige, but that’s the fact. After all, the Kingdom of Light has existed for too long and is too ancient.
Facts speak louder than words.
If Xi Tong came up with countless documents, materials, poems and other works, the Western world only has a dry Bible, and believers tend not to know who they are.
What's more, there are many methods of practice designed by the Kingdom of Light for believers in these works, such as methods of practice for paladins, priests, ascetics, etc.
The Vatican also preserves the practice method, but due to inheritance reasons, it has long been incomplete or full of ambiguities.
Coupled with the deliberate blockade by the top management, not to mention the people outside, even the middle and low-level clergy know nothing.
If Ye Yiruo had promulgated the method of spiritual practice, even the clergy would choose the best place to perch.
However, the classics from the Kingdom of Light cannot be brought over intact, and some of their contents are not suitable for believers to know, so Xi Tong had to make a cameo.
"Luo Tianyi, delete the book...oh no, I'll leave the task of the Harmony Book to you."
It would take Xi Tong half a year to read through thousands of books, let alone grasp the meaning and harmonize certain chapters, paragraphs and words.
For Luo Tianyi, this is just a trivial job, no problem at all.
"Your Excellency, Supreme Executive Officer, do you need to replace all the main gods of light with the main gods of the system?"
It's necessary, it's absolutely necessary!
After that, Xi Tong began to sort out the cultivation methods designed by the Kingdom of Light for believers.
The main responsibilities of the newly formed Holy See are to preach, teach, and resolve doubts. The first two are physical tasks that are outsourced, and the last one is technical work that can only be done by oneself, and only a few people like Ye Yiruo can do it.
What is announced to the outside world is only the basics of entry, and the mid-to-high-level cultivation methods are still in the hands and are only taught to a small number of believers and clergy.
In the process of teaching, you can instill your own ideology.
