Chapter 913 Implementation

The first is the end of the world.

The Doomsday World has the most balanced technological development among the three worlds. It is neither just starting out like Shenzhou World, nor like Parlance, which temporarily only has top-notch technology, and can best convey his will.

And the doomsday world has a small population, which is just used as a pilot.

First of all, a misunderstanding must be corrected. The ancient gods of the God and Buddha Era did rely on faith, but they never regarded faith as the source of all their power. Faith was at most just a blind introduction to their escape from the mundane.

In fact, even if all the mortals in the four continents of the 'Era of Gods and Buddhas' believe in one god, all of their wills combined will not be able to shake the heavens and the earth.

They just acted as an extremely important buffer zone in the confrontation between the ancient gods and the will of the world, which not only influenced the will of the world to recognize the existence of the ancient gods, but also helped the ancient gods share the pressure from the will of the world. Otherwise, when an ancient god tries to seize the power of the laws of heaven and earth from the will of the world, they will be under extremely terrifying pressure alone.

On the surface, ancient gods control the beliefs of believers in the world, but in fact believers are only the key to their power. Their real power comes from the laws and rights of the world, from the original power of the entire world, and the power obtained in this way is actually related to the ascetic practice. There is not much difference in the properties obtained.

These factors determine that this belief has greater limitations than belief in a broad sense.

Belief in a broad sense refers to belief in and respect for a certain doctrine, religion, or someone or something, and the typical manifestation is to regard it as one's spiritual pillar and code of conduct. Philosophers think of faith as 'a strong belief, usually manifested as a stubborn trust in something that lacks sufficient evidence to convince every rational person'.

Of course, the believers needed in Anyang also regard him as their spiritual pillar and regard his "words" as their code of conduct, which is necessary for faith.

But that wasn't the most important thing to him.

As an ancient god, he requires everyone to recognize his existence and supremacy, that he is omnipotent, that he can control everything in the world, that he and everything in the world belong to him, in order to achieve his goals.

As for believing in him, respecting him, and taking his "words" as his code of conduct, it is the "set effect" attached to all the above conditions.

This means that these people cannot believe in him as a great man, nor can they just believe in his life deeds and deeds, but really treat him as a god-this kind of obvious religious worship Obviously, he will be dismissed as irrational by philosophers in the real world, but when he really embarks on the path of the ancient gods, he is a real god in these three worlds, and this belief is rationality. of.

Because there are no gods in the real world, and there will be gods in the three future worlds, the beliefs between the two are different after all. And because the whole world believes in only one deity, the concept of religion will gradually become blurred, and there will be no distinction between religions by then.

A country where beliefs and regimes are completely intertwined, a country where beliefs do not hijack regimes or conflict with each other.

This is the future in Anyang's rough imagination.

And there's a lot more to it.

While sitting on a chair in the Imperial Palace office waiting for the minister to come, he thought so.

When it comes to belief, most people will immediately associate it with religion. In fact, belief is a subjective product of the mind. Religion or political parties play a catalytic role, but without religion and political parties, people can also have beliefs.

There are too many types of beliefs, belief in gods, belief in science, obsession and worship of power, status, money, reputation, beauty, etc. "The persistence of ideas, etc., is a kind of belief.

Faith can even be specific to a single sentence.

Although the three major worlds now have begun to contact non-natural knowledge, such as arcane magic, mysticism, and the monastic system, etc., these three have very rigorous concepts, but they are contrary to natural science. Therefore, it does not mean that cultivating Taoism will make it easier for people to believe in a god. Ninety-nine percent of cultivators and mystics in the world of China and the place of origin do not believe in gods.

On the contrary, from another perspective, any system that deepens understanding of the world and individuals, whether it is technology or morality, the better it develops, the more rational people will be, and the less likely they will blindly believe in one thing.

Just as there are always more rational religious people who say to others that religion gives people character and ideas, and gives people belief and support for life. But there are also scientific proofs that human morality comes from evolution, morality has nothing to do with religion, and there are facts to prove that people can live well even if they don’t believe in religion.

There have also been scientific experiments proving that it is possible to shake a person's religious beliefs by "implying people to do analytical thinking and change intuitive cognition", that is to say, if a belief is not stable, it can only rely on the narrative of nothingness. After all, it is impossible to rule the world, only those who are spiritually empty and not strong enough will accept it and talk to fill themselves.

What Anyang has to do is not simple, let the ignorant people know that he is omnipotent, and let the sober people know the reason why he is a god.

At least fairy and god are completely different.

The gods that people believed in at the beginning were all classified as ancient gods in the world of the gods and Buddha era, and Nezha, Yang Jian, etc. are the gods that are widely worshiped by people today. The theory that people often say 'Gods are just creatures more powerful than humans' applies only to immortals and 'modern deities'. The laws of the world are themselves a collection of spirits.

Just like the will of the world itself is the will of the world, and it is the collection of all objects in the universe, people will never say that it is actually just a more powerful creature.

And the ancient gods are in a way to align with the will of the world, and even replace it!

The difference between ancient gods and modern gods, and the relationship between ancient gods and mortals, is actually very subtle.

Anyang knew that it would not be easy for him to become a widely-believed deity in an increasingly enlightened world, but if he succeeded, the firmness of people's perception of himself and the growing power would also make him truly incapable. Can't.

In addition, many details have to be handled properly.

For example, how should the "holy word" and "dogma" of his god be in line with national laws and regulations, such as how he will appear in the hearts of people in what form and image, and how he will communicate with people who have already embarked on an unnatural path Demonstrate your control over the laws and powers of heaven and earth.

And he obviously won't set up a special religious organization to absorb believers, won't give anyone rights because of their beliefs, and doesn't need a fixed period for believers to gather together for activities... He just needs to tell people that the earth goes around Tell people that he is God as the sun turns, and he does not need all the means used by those religions to deepen their beliefs and emphasize the real existence of God.

Have you ever seen someone stress that the earth revolves around the sun all day long?

Not long after, there was a knock on the door.

"Dong dong dong."

Anyang came back to his senses instantly, and saw two figures standing at the door, one was short and fat, and the other was tall and straight, both staring at him. We could vaguely see behind them the tall and mighty guards wearing silver-white armor.

"Oh, come on, come in."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The two just walked in.

His Majesty the Emperor has not come to the palace for a long time, and these two ministers have long been used to it, so they are all respectful at this time.

Sure enough, Anyang said: "This time there is one thing, which is of great importance and must not be sloppy."

The Minister of Education of the Empire and the Minister of Supervision immediately raised their spirits and said, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

One of them is in charge of national education, and the other is in charge of anything related to extraordinary power. At this time, they were alone, and the two of them had already made countless guesses on the road.

But Anyang didn't talk about things first, and suddenly asked: "Do you believe that there are gods in this world?"

"Huh?" Both of them were stunned.

Anyang looked at them lightly, without repeating.

After a while, the Minister of Education said, "Your Majesty, what do you mean by gods?"

"Similar to the main god of religious worship." Anyang said, "He not only has superhuman power, he also controls everything. He is the embodiment of the world, representing the law, he is the fusion of people's will, and the object of people's belief... "

After speaking, the two ministers were silent.

It's not that they can't understand it, but they are all guessing what Anyang's question means.

Both of them have embarked on the road of cultivation, and they are practicing the control exercises, and they are also walking the control road. There are also government-related benefits to help them practice. It's just because I really can't spare much time and energy to practice, and I just completed the practice targets ordered by Anyang, so even Lin Cun, who is the director of the super-management department, can only be regarded as a mortal compared to those who practice Taoism.

But they still have some understanding of the way of the gods and gods in the past. On the one hand, they think that the so-called gods are just using another way to gain power. On the other hand, they feel that the gods in Anyang's mouth do not exist, or it still sounds Very mysterious.

And before accepting supernatural practice, the education they received also made them less interested in those gods.

But now Anyang took it out and said...

It was the Minister of Education who responded the fastest, and immediately said something that seemed irrelevant but very timely: "If there must be a god in this world, then I think it must be Your Majesty."

Anyang smiled suddenly: "You can talk."

Seeing this, the superintendent of the super management department next to him also quickly agreed.

Anyang waved his hand: "Don't be in a hurry to flatter yourself, and don't spend your energy on this matter, the next time is when you really spend your brains."

Sure enough, they talked until late at night, almost all day without rest, and they worked hard to discuss this matter.
