This chapter is a two-in-one, and the word count is the amount of two chapters Chapter 487: The Kingdom of God Of course, Chen Daolin has enough confidence to say such things to the Pope.
If Chen Daolin was still a little weak when he lied to this old man in the imperial capital, and he purely used a bunch of lies to fool this guy, then now, Chen Daolin can say these words confidently: Yes, overseas is a land that the Roland people have never set foot on I spent more than six years with Lu Gao in the small world, fought hundreds of thousands of fights, and of course heard many, many interesting things from Lu Gao's mouth.
For example, about the origin of those orc aliens.
Nowadays, in this world, there are fewer and fewer people who know these secret things, and Lu Gao is undoubtedly one of those people who has experienced that era in its entirety.
Listening to this guy, he even fought with the gods of the elven race, although he lost badly.
According to Lu Gao, one hundred and forty years ago, there were no alien orcs and dwarf elves on the Roland Continent.
These guys are coming from the "north".
According to those aliens themselves, they passed through one of the coldest ice fields before they came to the Roland Continent.
And they used to live on another land According to this statement, Chen Daolin immediately pieced together the topography of a planet in his heart.
If the rules of this space have not changed too much, if the land under his feet is also a planet, then Chen Daolin is ninety percent sure that there will definitely be a continent overseas That continent is the land where those alien races lived for generations before they counterattacked the Roland Continent.
Therefore, even in the face of Heynckes' poisonous oath, Chen Daolin has no psychological pressure, because there must indeed be such a continent overseas.
As for the people in the church, whether they can be found after going to sea is not a question of Chen Daolin.
Of course, even if the expeditionary fleet did find that continent, it would never be possible to find the "overseas country" from which Chen Daolin said.
Unless there's a Crossing Gate on that continent.
According to Chen Daolin's estimate.
The elites of these churches, even if they are lucky enough to find a new world, the most likely thing in that new world is to encounter a group of aliens.
Chen Daolin is very sure of this.
Since the alien races that are now entrenched in the north of the Roland Continent were all migrated from that continent more than a hundred years ago.
Then, according to the law of the migration of any living race, some seeds will definitely be left in the original place.
In the real world, whether it is the great migration of African animals or the great migration of the race of Homo sapiens, the ancestor of human beings in ancient times, it is impossible to migrate cleanly, and there will always be some left in the same place.
Even if it's moving.
There will be something left behind, not to mention millions of civilized races Chen Daolin was sure that there would still be remnants of alien populations on that continent, which was almost certain.
"I think there are so many elites sent by the church, and there must be many people with wisdom, courage and good luck, although it is always dangerous to go to sea, but if the goddess blesses it, you will definitely be able to find the other side."
Chen Daolin casually said a few kind words.
Heynckes stared at Chen Daolin and was silent for a while.
He said in a deep voice, "I also sent my disciple, Lan Lan. ” Chen Daolin changed color at this time Seeing Chen Daolin suddenly jump up from his chair, Heynckes' face was extremely gloomy "You deceived me," a spark of anger twitched in Heynckes' eyes, "I know the entire Temple of Light.
The only person you care about is Lan Lan's reaction, so you already know that the people I sent.
Doomed to nothing Darling Chen, your reaction says it all" "Is it an old man like you, no matter what you do or say. all have this habit of self-righteousness" Chen Daolin retorted unceremoniously: "My reaction can only show that I care about Lan Lan."
Your Majesty, listen well, I can guarantee that there must be a large land overseas, there is absolutely no doubt about this, but to find that land, the future is definitely difficult, and there is little hope, if it were not so difficult, do you think that land will not be discovered for thousands of years?
I'm just very strange, as His Majesty the Pope, you actually gamble so much, I heard that Lan Lan is your disciple and your favorite saint.
I know very well what the status of the Holy Maiden is in the Church, you sent out a Holy Knights, plus a Holy Maiden, all of them, if all these people are sacrificed in the sea, then your Church must be a great loss of vitality His Majesty Heynx, when the time comes, if such a situation occurs, don't blame me.
Chen Daolin's gaze was cold: "I just pointed you in a direction." ” Heynckes looked at Chen Daolin coldly: "You are angry with your anger because I sent Lan Lan away" "That woman has nothing to do with me anymore."
Chen Daolin stared at Heynckes' eyes and said slowly, word by word: "Whether she dies or lives, it is up to you to decide."
If going to sea is a dead end, you pushed her onto that road with your own hands.
And I wasn't angry, I just felt a little sad to hear the bad news that an old man was probably dead.
Moreover, even if she died overseas, at least hundreds of people would accompany her to bury her. ” "When you become a saint, your heart becomes cold and hard," Heynckes sighed softly.
"Cold and hard, no, no, you are not qualified to accuse me in this matter."
Chen Daolin laughed: "Let a girl who is like a flower and stay with the statue for a lifetime, it is the doctrine of your Temple of Light that sends hundreds of pious believers to the path of nine deaths, and it is the decision of His Majesty the Pope."
Your Majesty the Pope is cold-hearted, your heart is 10,000 times harder than mine. ” "I'll wait a little longer, if they haven't come back yet," Heynckes stared at Chen Daolin, a hint of evil flashing in his eyes.
"You don't have to threaten me."
Chen Daolin sneered: "Don't you think this kind of threat is ridiculous, the person has already sent it out, and the ship is already in the sea."
At this time, you came to threaten me whether they can survive and come back alive, it is not up to me to decide now.
It was their luck to come back alive.
All of them are dead, and it is their fate.
Pope, you give me the feeling of being an angry old man who loses a bet. ” Heynckes was silent.

He did feel that his mind was a little impetuous.
To be precise, this impetuous change of mood is not due to the lack of news from the expeditionary fleet that went to sea.
It's because of Chen Daolin who is facing him at this moment.
When he first faced this guy, he was just a small magician, and although he claimed to have the messenger chosen by the goddess, he was only a small magician after all.
And now, in less than a year, this guy is already a saint.
This feeling of watching the initiative be lost. is what makes the Pope impetuous.
"I've always thought you brighter people were stupid."
Chen Daolin put down the wine jar and put it at his feet.
The "stupid" Pope was not angry, he had always known very well that the young man in front of him had never looked down on the people of the Temple of Light.
"Of course it's stupid."
Chen Daolin shook his head: "Your gradual decline and gradual loss to the royal family is actually caused by your own stupidity."
What is religion, religion is something that controls spiritual beliefs, but you want to use religion to control secular power.
Did you know that once anything becomes mundane, it loses its mystery?
Lost a sense of adoration.
You don't understand the general trend When the Tulip family is powerful and the royal family is in power, suppressing the divine power, you can't understand the general trend.
As a result of repeated confrontations, you have not only lost, but you have lost power, and you have lost too many hearts and minds.
Du Wei did the most ruthless thing.
It is to abolish the power of the Temple of Light to levy religious taxes.
It's ridiculous that people in your church have always regarded it as a great disgrace, and I've heard that until the last few years, there have been many church leaders who have been dreaming of reinventing the religious tax one day.
It's self-defeating."
"There are no taxes.
The Church's financial resources are drying up day by day, and without financial resources, how can we revive the prestige of the Church?"
the Pope frowned, shook his head, and said: "Whatever you do, it costs money.
It costs money to raise the Holy Knights, it costs money to buy war horses and weapons, and it costs money to feed so many clergy. ” "That's why taxes are collected" Chen Daolin laughed: "This kind of thing is a matter of collecting taxes, and I don't like it personally."
If you pay taxes to the state, then everyone has no choice but to admit it.
But the religious tax is levied in the name of God, and your Majesty the Pope does not think it is ridiculous to say that What are you that represent God?
God tells you how much you have to collect in taxes, whether you should collect 100 copper coins a year, or 50 copper coins, and if a farmer ploughs 10 acres of land, he will pay a percentage of the income to the church These things are given to you by the goddess in a dream, and they are all said by the goddess in your ear when you pray Bullshit It's up to the gods in your church to decide You have decided for yourselves, you want others to pay for you, and then you will give it in the name of God hahahaha There are indeed stupid people in this world, but at least smart people will despise you to death.
What is a tax Taxation is a compulsory act of collecting wealth You know, it's mandatory Isn't it ridiculous that a person, whether he is a believer or not, whether he has a deep or shallow belief in God, is it ridiculous that you have to ask him to give you money Some people are so convinced and devout that they spend half of the month going to church to pray.
You tax this kind of person, of course no problem.
Some people are dispensable to faith, and if you tax them, they will hate you Heynckes, don't you understand?
The people of this world have no obligation to support you guys unconditionally And you want to impose this on everybody, and that's the biggest reason why the church is unpopular. ” "But the religious tax has long been abolished."
Heynckes turned pale.
"That's why I said you are stupid, you deserve it" Chen Daolin sneered: "Cancel the religious tax, who did it is Du Wei You have resisted again and again, and in the end you can't resist, so you have to obey."
Can this be the same?
You see, this is the trend of the times But you can't see it clearly, and you blindly fight until the last moment before you let go angrily.
As a result As a result, everyone in the world has inherited Du Wei's favor, and the religious tax has been abolished, and everyone is grateful to Du Wei for being grateful to the Tulip family, but they still hold a grudge against your Temple of Light You say that you are stupid or not, not only have you lost money, but also have lost people's hearts If it was more than 100 years ago.
If I were to become the Pope of the Temple, I would be directly destined to order the Church to take the initiative to abolish the religious tax Anyway, you can buy people's hearts As a result, of course everyone hates you What the people are I tell you, the people under heaven are the simplest of people.
A man who was supposed to pay fifty copper plates a year to the church as a religious tax Fifty copper plates, what he can't do, buy candy for his children to eat, buy beautiful clothes for his wife to wear, buy meat, go back and cook it But you let him hand over the money to you for nothing, if you don't give it, it is against the law, you are not the emperor This kind of thing can only be done after the world can collect taxes.
Before you got the world, you began to think of yourself as emperors.
Don't you think that's ridiculous?
After Du Wei came to power, he beat the Temple of Light to the ground in just over ten years, and you don't even have the ability to fight a civil war because no one supports you, Your Majesty Heynckes."
"But, but serving the goddess, isn't it what every human being should do?"
"What should be and why should be" Chen Daolin laughed: "Goddess, have you seen a goddess, no, you haven't seen your former pope, your former pope, dozens of generations ago, you haven't seen a goddess."
No, not even say.
From the time of the founding of the Roland Empire, the Temple of Light became the state religion of the empire, until today, a thousand years Who has seen the goddess Joke What she looks like, beautiful or ugly, long hair or short, tall or short, big breasts or big buttocks No one has ever seen it What did she do for the Rolands When there is a drought.

Will the goddess give rain to the farmer?
When it comes to life, will the goddess treat the sick?
When the empire is in turmoil, will the goddess appear to eliminate the war?
When the alien race invades, will the goddess bless the warriors of the empire on the battlefield?
No, no, no None of them Since this goddess never really appeared. has never made the slightest contribution to the Roland people, so why should everyone take out their hard-earned money to contribute to her Oh no.
Not to her, but to you A group of guys who have never seen what God looks like, but they ask people all over the world to give money to themselves, and say that this is to serve His Majesty the God Pope, is there anything more ridiculous and ridiculous in the world?"
The Pope's face changed: "Darling Chen, what did the goddess you say choose you as a messenger to make you change?"
"Change" Chen Daolin laughed: "Of course you want to change His Majesty the Pope, I can tell you that in the current Roland Empire, there is no soil for the survival of the Temple of Light, if you continue to play with the old ways, sooner or later you will lose all the last bit of belongings." ” Speaking of this, Chen Daolin looked into Heynckes' eyes: "There are many fools in the church, but among so many fools, you are a relatively smart person.
You want to revitalize the church, but you have a problem with your ideas, you can't expect the people of the Roland Empire to suddenly become fanatical believers overnight, crying and shouting that all their wealth and life will be given to the church.
Of course, you can't make all the people worship the goddess all of a sudden.
Revitalization is up to you.
You are trying to revitalize the Roland people's belief in the goddess Or do you just want to revitalize the power of the church?"
That's too damning Heynckes was sweating profusely, his face turned pale and pale, and he hesitated for a moment: "What do you say about revitalizing the faith, but what about revitalizing the power of the church" "If you want to revitalize the Roland belief in the goddess, then I think we can end this conversation.
From now on you go yours and I play mine.
The goddess has never been seen by anyone, so how can people believe her However, if you just want to revitalize the power of the church, there are still many ways to think of it. ” "Darling, are you asking me, the dignified Pope of the Temple of Light, to renounce my faith" Heynckes suddenly became furious and roared and took a step.
Chen Daolin was not nervous at all. looked at him coldly: "Don't act, Your Majesty the Pope, I have known a truth for a long time, the deeper the understanding of religious doctrines, the more people often do not believe in God."
God's excuse is okay for the ignorant people.
You are a wise person, I don't believe that you really worship that so-called goddess in your heart."
Heynckes took a few steps back His breathing suddenly became extremely rough, his face turned red, and he looked at Chen Daolin with wide eyes, as if he was going to pounce on him at any time and fight with him.
It's been a long time "Tell me how to do it" Heynckes stared at Chen Daolin: "Tell me" "I'll do it for you."
Chen Daolin shook his head: "My Peerless Martial Saint Sect will do it for you to show you how to play such a thing as religion."
To be precise, how to deceive" "Deception" "It's a lie."
Chen Daolin disdainfully: "Any religion is deceitful at the beginning.
Make a set of specious claims by yourself, and then deceive others to believe it, and deceive others to join you is a deception, everything is a deception.
What religion is is to deceive others into believing a set of ideas, and to support you, the religious clergy, it is necessary to let those who are deceived by you willingly give you their wealth.
How to deceive Quite simply, you have to give people benefits Nothing good.
Only fools do it, although there are many fools in this world.
Of course the goddess will not appear in this world, if the goddess did, then you would not be so miserable now.
But the goddess won't appear, won't you let her appear?
Is it difficult to make a miracle?
Snow flies in June, flowering in winter and such a thing.
A magician can do it.
But those ignorant people, enough.
One level further up, you're going to get the most of them.
How to get it As I told you, you have to give people benefits Whether it's a tangible benefit.
Or is it an illusory benefit, you have to make those who believe in you feel that believing in your religion can bring something to everyone.
One person is sick.
You can't cure him, and certainly you can't let the goddess come down to the earth to heal him.
But you can take his hand, give him some care, give him some comfort, these are the illusory benefits, some spiritual comfort.
When will you be able to make everyone feel that they believe in the teachings of the Temple of Light, and make your set of teachings of the Temple of Light a universal moral standard, instead of making everyone foolish to believe in the Goddess.
Then you've succeeded. ” Looking at Heynckes' thoughtful appearance, Chen Daolin smiled slightly: "I'll show you another way." ” Heynckes' attitude seemed to have become a little more polite: "Please say" "Overseas" Chen Daolin pointed to the far east: "I can tell you very clearly, I didn't lie to you in the depths of that sea, maybe far away, there must be a continent that exists, that is a very big land, Your Majesty Heynckes, I told you, now in the Roland Empire, there is no soil for the Temple of Light to survive."
If you can't do it here, you might as well find another way out."
"Is this way out overseas?"
"I know that the ultimate thought in your hearts is to turn the Roland Empire into a theocratic country, there is no emperor, only the pope, and the country rules a country with a religious set, and everyone in the country is a believer, which is impossible to achieve in today's Roland Empire.
But instead of thinking about turning the Roland Empire into a kingdom of gods.

It is better to go to a blank place by yourself, start from scratch, and build a kingdom of God I think it's at least much easier than a coup d'état in the Roland Empire and trying to replace the state with religion, at least you've been doing it for more than a thousand years, and you've been failing to do it, and you're not going to be happy.
Maybe starting from scratch, it would be easier. ” "Go to the overseas mainland to build a true theocratic kingdom" A strange color flashed in Heynckes' eyes "You've been in the Roland Empire for more than a thousand years, after all.
It's getting worse and worse now, but there are always some fools, well, I mean devout believers.
There will always be some brainless people, or the members of the sect who have been deceived by you into believing your way After searching the whole country, I searched several of your dioceses, and I think that those who are willing to believe in your way through and through will be able to gather a hundred thousand people If you can get a fleet of ships and a few hundred people to go to sea once, can't you do it a second time, not a third time, a tenth time, a hundredth time?
The first time is the most dangerous thing, as long as the road is cleared for the first time and the route is clear, it will be much easier to sail again later.
That land was big and vast.
And I don't think anyone is going to fight with you.
I think that even the emperor will not stop you from going to sea, and he probably wishes that you gods would leave the Roland Empire as soon as possible, so that he will not have to worry at all.
Let's move, little by little, a little this year, a little next year Go to that new continent, make a settlement first, immigrate a little bit of people, and choose those who believe in you.
Slowly, the first village, the first town, was built there Hundreds of thousands of people, ten, twenty, thirty, fifty years slowly migrated past.
By that time, that continent will be full of those of you who live, all of whom are believers in you And then, naturally, it is a theocratic country In the beginning, the population was smaller, but it didn't matter.
What you have wasted a thousand years on the Roland Continent that you have not done, it is nothing more than spending more time there.
The population will grow slowly.
Maybe in a hundred years, you will have a population of millions, or even more Consider it, Your Majesty, that there is no one to fight with you, that is a land that you can do whatever you want a kingdom of God that belongs to you and to you alone" In Heynckes' eyes, there was already a flame burning ` Asking for a monthly pass, more than half of this month has passed, everyone is touching their pockets, and there is still a monthly pass If you have one, please vote for it Thank you very much ` To be continued. “”:
