Chapter 145: "Theological Debate"


The Solna River flows quietly, giving birth to a third of the life of the Eldor Peninsula and forming many river valleys, among which the Solna Valley, which is called by the name of the river, is home to several city-states, which are second only to the city of Bethlethor due to their abundant water and fertile land.

Outside the newly built temple of the "Lord of War" in Husum was a wide square, with a half-height platform in front of it, crowded with people in linen robes, who spontaneously gathered to support the gods of their faith, while the bronze cuirass of the Angnoma Empire soldiers lazily guarded outside, oblivious to the few religious disputes, as if wishing that the infidels would kill themselves and restore the world to peace.

On the half-height platform, the eight priests of the remaining god Balil, including the god of the moon, the god of thunder and lightning, the god of wind and rain, the goddess of the earth, the lord of the underworld, the god of sun and justice, the god of wisdom, and the goddess of love and fertility, sat on the silver chair, waiting for the debate to begin, if they could not let the power of their own gods override the other gods and become one of the last three gods, they would be expelled from the valley by the lord of war, lose a stable source of faith, gradually decline, and finally be differentiated and absorbed by the corresponding gods of the Angnoma god system.

Fall completely or become an incarnation of the other party.

Although every priest knew that this was a means for the "Lord of War" to divide and rule, and in the end it was inevitable that their respective gods would truly enter the Angnoma god system, but no one dared to resist, this was the fate of the betrayer and the loser, and for them, this path was not necessarily hopeless, after integrating the beliefs of the Solna Valley, the power of their own gods would inevitably increase significantly, and it was still unknown whether they would be absorbed by the corresponding gods of the Angnoma god system or vice versa.

The priest of the "Lord of War" who sat on the golden throne above was a beautiful woman with brown hair, dressed in an Angnoma-style white robe, with a slit at the hem that reached her waist, and her slick and powerful legs were occasionally exposed.

She is the second chief priest of the Temple of Bethitham, and Nena, who also belongs to the high priesthood level.

"Salute to the Lord of the Great War, the Lord of all strife and destruction."

The sixteen priests of the eight gods saluted in unison, just as they had faced the main god Afando.

Nena herself danced a war dance to please the gods, and then solemnly faced the lower part to announce the beginning of the "theological" debate.

Suddenly, two black-haired men dressed in washed-white robes stood in front of the half-height platform and said loudly to the guards: "Let us go up, we are here for the theological meeting on behalf of the great God of Resurrection, Fertility and Salvation." ” "There has never been such a god name, it must belong to the false gods, guard, expel them," Norbu, the priest of the moon god Asin, rebuked harshly.

The strength of the moon god Ah Xin is in the middle among the remaining eight gods, and it is difficult to say whether he can become the last three victors, and in the face of the competitors who appeared inexplicably, the old man Norbu, who is dressed in complicated and gorgeous clothes, will naturally not have a good face.

Francis, as a "retinue", motioned with his eyes to Lucien to hurry up and say the prepared words.

Lucien met Nobu's eyes without fear and said: "Whether or not our god of resurrection, abundance and redemption can participate in this meeting is decided by the great Lord of War, not the Moon God, you speak before the High Priest of Nena, you are ranking the Moon God before the Lord of War" Francis raised his eyebrows in slight surprise, this is not the words discussed before, but in the current situation, the effect seems to be better, it can more effectively provoke the relationship between the moon god and the lord of war, and more effectively provoke Asin to achieve the real purpose, "This Leviathan has the ability to play on the spot" "You" such a big hat was buttoned down, and Norbu, the high priest of the moon god, was so angry that he was speechless for a while.

Lucien frightened Nobu, and also stopped the other priests from speaking, and looked at Nena "sincerely": "Honorable High Priest, according to the oracle of the Lord of War, it should be that all the gods who preach in the Solna Valley are qualified to participate in this meeting, I don't know if I understand it wrong" "Nope."

Nena replied as coldly and briefly as a female warrior.

Lucien smiled: "Our Lord, the God of Resurrection, Fertility and Redemption, also has believers in the Solna Valley, and I beg the High Priest to allow us to attend this theological meeting. ” "You have to prove it yourself."

One more god has no effect on the Lord's arrangement, but can make the contradictions sharper and more acute, which is beneficial to future annexation, so Nena did not object, and said succinctly.

Lucien raised his right hand, and Ancius, who was hiding in the shadows, applauded softly, and the secret believers of the former "God of Fire and Destruction" in front of him applauded loudly, praising El, the god of resurrection, abundance, and salvation.

Nobu and the priests of the other gods looked at each other, and they could not imagine that this strange god of resurrection, abundance, and salvation had been secretly preaching in the valley for a long time, and that he and others were too careless.

They didn't expect that this was the incarnation of Afando at all, because before Francis put forward his opinion, according to the understanding of the gods, the important surname of the priesthood is more than the name of the god, it means the amount of power and magic, so even if they change the name of the god, they will not change the priesthood, often after annexing other similar priesthoods, by changing the name of the god, turning into a "vest" to annex the original faith, like this, it is difficult to associate with the resurrection, abundance and salvation that seem to be completely unrelated to the priesthood of "fire and destruction".

Under the hostile gaze of the priests and believers, Lucien took Francis to sit on the newly added silver chair, and listened to Nena: "This theological council is to debate the power of the gods you believe in, so as to discern who is the true god and who is the false god, and who is more worthy of faith, according to the oracle of the Lord of War, there are three things, and there are only three victors in the end. ” With this sentence, no matter how far the final debate goes, the victor also obeys the oracle of the Lord of War, and in the hearts of the believers below, it is obvious that the Lord of War is a step higher.

"My Lord is the embodiment of the sun, shining on all things and dispelling darkness, like a flame, symbolizing the power of light and the power of punishment, and at the same time, he is the law-maker, binding the gods, binding men, so that he is undoubtedly above the other seven gods."

The priests of the sun and the god of justice preemptively spoke and depicted the power and power of the gods in order to win the yearning of the believers.

The uneducated believers nodded slightly, the sun hung in the sky every day, making people feel warm, in contrast to the darkness, they knew by feeling that it must be important, the sun and the god of justice must also be very powerful, and believing in him may be more beneficial.

Seeing the change in the expressions of the believers below, the Lord of the Underworld immediately stood up and said: "There is life and death, every intelligent life cannot get rid of the shadow of death, and life is short, but death is eternal, the great Lord of the Underworld controls the world after death, is the final destination, and is naturally more important than other gods." ” The fear of death is inherent in every human being, and when it comes to the darkness, coldness, pain, and eternal slumber that comes after death, it seems much more useful to believe in the Lord of the Underworld than to believe in the God of the Sun and Justice, whose power and importance can be known just by listening to the description.

"The earth bears everything, and the underworld depends on it, and the earth is pregnant with life and death, and whoever angers the mother earth will suffer famine, earth movement, and mountain collapse."

The Mother Earth priests terrorize the faithful.

Compared with the slumber after death, real life seems to be more important, especially the terrible famine that many people have experienced, as terrifying as the earthquake that destroyed the world, so that they are afraid and dare not deviate from the belief of Mother Earth Goddess.

"The gods are the masters of terrible lightning, and they can kill every person and every god, and whoever disobeys him will be struck by lightning."

"If you turn your backs on the God of storms, He will send down forty-nine days of continuous torrential rain, and the seas will be poured out, and the rivers will overflow, and the mountains will be flooded, and the whole earth will be turned into a land of floods, and all living things will be destroyed."

Gradually, the priests used skillful intimidation methods to coerce people into faith, and the priests of God of Love and Wisdom could not contend with it, so they could only withdraw from the argument with a pale face.

They had little hope from the beginning, but they only shouted that a few words of wisdom could free people from suffering, and that love and reproduction could continue the race, and they were ignored.

For such a debate that whoever blows more will be stronger, without philosophical speculation, Francis seemed a little uncomfortable, he controlled the air fluctuations, and said to Lucien secretly: "Wait a minute, don't care if you anger the Lord of War, you can describe the great Elle as much as you want, which is what I call the cycle theory of creation, control, destruction, and resurrection." ” "The Silver Moon has existed since the beginning of the world and never changes, symbolizing the immortality of life, expelling darkness, merging with darkness, and bringing peace of mind."

Nobu said with sweat on his forehead, compared to intimidation, it seems that the moon god Asin is very different from other gods, which is what the god of fire and destruction is best at.

After one round, all the priests' eyes were focused on Lucien to see what might this god of resurrection, abundance, and redemption could do.

Lucien sat on the silver throne and said unhurriedly: "The alternation of the seasons and the rise and fall of the sun mean that things are born and destroyed, but they can be reborn after destruction, and my Lord is the God of Resurrection." ” The priest of the sun god stared at him, which was to turn the sun into a phenomenon and the resurrection to the essence "Death is not the end, life will have a different destiny, according to what they have done in life, they will be judged justly, the good and the virtuous will be freed from the cycle of life and death, and will enter the holy place of our Lord and will have eternal happiness, the neutral, the ordinary, the good and the evil will become the spirit of life again, and will fall into the mortal world, be born as a baby, and continue to suffer the joys and pains of life, while the evildoers, the despicable, will be punished in the underworld and suffer a long suffering."

"And whoever believes in our Lord and is willing to repent will be redeemed and become the first kind of people."

Such a theory had never been heard of by the believers below, and they preferred to believe in the circular theory described by the young priest rather than the eternal darkness and coldness after death, which gave them hope in a life of pain and a touch of tenderness, and a path to salvation Francis felt more and more that Leviathan was talented enough to construct a fairly complete theological world system based on his deliberately simplistic theory of circulation, and secretly said in his heart: "There are talents in this backward alien space."

The face of the priest of the underworld suddenly darkened, and such a theory simply described his own god as a follower, subordinate, and vassal of the resurrected god.

In the face of such a system, Norbu, the priest of the moon god Asin, will be heartbroken, anyway, if he loses, everything will be over, it is better to use the help of interracial mythology to turn defeat into victory "You are all only gods of a specific duty in the operation of the world, and my Lord is the god who created the world and all things, the god of light and creation, and in the first darkness it was He who split the tranquility and brought the light, and fabricated the earth, all things, and all living beings" Nobu completely ignored Nena's face and threw out a certain version of the creation myth of the moon god.

At this moment, the priests of the other gods were stunned, they all claimed to be the creator god, how could they be above him, and they all recalled the myths related to their own gods to see if there were any similar rumors that could be borrowed.

Suddenly, the priest of the god of thunder and lightning laughed: "The moon god created the world and all things, but my lord will destroy everything, destroy the world, and bring everything back to darkness, and only believers in Him can attain eternal peace." ” He borrowed slightly from Lucian's theory of salvation.

With the beginning, the priest of the god of the sun and justice is not far behind: "My lord is the god who sustains the world and delays destruction" "My Lord is the first darkness, the first tranquility," the priest of the Lord of the Underworld sneered at the devotees of the god of the moon, the god of thunder and lightning, the sun and the god of justice.

"Is this a theological debate, it's a braggart contest."

Francis rubbed the corners of his forehead and sighed to Lucien secretly, "It's not what I'm good at, you can play it yourself." ” Seeing that the four gods had the upper hand, Lucien smiled indifferently and said: "This is just the creation, development and destruction of a small world, the beginning of a small world, and only every three thousand such small worlds can constitute a medium world, and three thousand medium worlds can constitute a large world, and the number of large worlds is as large as the sand in the Solna River, and the immeasurable land containing so many large worlds is the creation of our lord." ” "And my lord said that there would be immeasurable lands, and there was immeasurable lands."

"My Lord said there would be light, and there was light."

"When my lord says he will destroy, he will be nothing."

Than the mouth cannon, who is afraid of whom:
