Chapter 2795 The Source of Divine Power (Ⅱ)

"Dr. Vader, you are not a clergyman, so you are always used to viewing religious beliefs with a utilitarian perspective. You always think that believing in God can only benefit you. This is very inappropriate."

Valentina's answer obviously did not satisfy Joan, and she couldn't help but raise more intense questions.

"If gods only answer prayers, people will believe in gods more sincerely; on the contrary, if gods don't answer prayers, people don't have to believe in such useless bullshit gods. This logic is very clear. What's wrong with it?"

Joan argued hard.

"Dr. Vader, what you are talking about is not belief, but a deal! A person who has this kind of mentality of making deals with gods cannot be called pious! Unpious beliefs will not be responded by the true god of."

"No... why can't the true God be more generous, first give people some benefits, and people will be moved, and then put aside their selfishness, and believe in the true God out of sincerity and regardless of rewards—why can't it be like this?"

"So you're asking, which came first, the egg or the chicken?"

Valentina spread her hands, a little helpless in her smile.

Well, when it comes to faith and finally comes down to the rhythm of "matryoshka", Joan is too lazy to argue.

"Dr. Vader, I haven't finished yet. The true gods themselves are eternal and immortal. The number of believers can affect their authority, but it is not a major factor. Therefore, those true gods who lack ambition usually have little motivation to expand the number of believers. , but pay more attention to the quality of believers, especially the degree of piety, it is not good to be betrayed by someone you love."

Ms. Jinlong continued.

"But demigods are different. Demigods can only achieve immortality. Under certain conditions, demigods can also be completely killed! Therefore, demigods often care more about their own safety. In order to become true gods, they do indeed More believers are needed to protect themselves, help themselves develop organizations, and expand the sphere of influence of the religious order."

Joan nodded, remembering what Ms. Valentina said just now, one of the prerequisites for a demigod to become a true god is to establish a church or society that demonstrates its own creeds. In the future, as a true god, these creeds will be upgraded to His priesthood and power.

"In order to expand the influence of the sect, demigods need to develop many believers. However, no matter what, it is difficult to take care of quality when pursuing quantity too much. Therefore, demigods usually have lower requirements for the devotion of believers than true gods. "

"This also means that if someone's belief is too utilitarian, it is difficult to get the inspiration of the true god, but he may be favored by the demigod, and then get the domain magic bestowed by the demigod. It’s better than an empty bottle, Dr. Vida, do you think that’s the reason?” Valentina asked with a smile.

Joan nodded approvingly.

"That's right! It's possible for a person like me to become a believer in a demigod. Thinking about it like this will make my heart feel balanced."

"I'm sorry, Dr. Vader, I think it's easier for you to become a demigod yourself." Ms. Valentina joked playfully, "Which demigod is blind and accepts you as a believer, I'm afraid you will be punished." You bullied me to death."

"Yeah? Then if I manage to catch a demigod, put it in the laboratory, force it to accept me as a disciple, and grant me domain magic... Your Majesty, Ms. Valentina, don't you think this is very interesting? Would you like to do this experiment for me?"

Joan rubbed his hands excitedly, staring at the two demigods opposite, his eyes sparkling! (☆_☆)

"Please, Dr. Vader, don't think so, I feel so flustered..." Ms. Jinlong said aggrievedly.

"Don't worry, Ms. Valentina, how dare I disrespect you!" Joan quickly explained.

"Oh...Dr. Vader, you don't dare to be disrespectful to Varyusha, and you don't care about me. Binding me and locking me in a small dark room is also in your plan?"

His Majesty the Emperor interrupted resentfully.

"Ha...hahahaha...Look at what you said, how is it possible!" Qiao An laughed dryly, "Your Majesty, let's get on with the business."

"Well, Dr. Vader, I'll be more on guard against you in the future..." Roland took over Valentina and continued the topic just now, "When it comes to demigods developing believers, there is actually another advantage, that is, most demigods don't Establish your own god domain, still wandering in the mortal world, you can give full play to your strength."

"True gods don't have such convenient conditions. They are forcibly expelled from the mortal world at the moment of conferring the gods. At most, they can only send their avatars to walk down the mortal world."

"The incarnation of the true god, also known as the 'saint', is strictly limited in power, at most at the level of a demigod. In fact, it is not uncommon for the incarnation of the true god to be killed by a demigod."

"The destruction of the incarnation will cause great damage to the true god himself, so the true god prefers the believers with fake hands to do things for him in the mortal world, so the elect are born."

"A demigod doesn't have as many restrictions as a true god. If he goes all out to misbehave in the mortal world, since the true god can't do it himself, to be honest, it's really hard to solve this kind of scourge."

"Conversely, if someone is eager to gain power to realize his ambition, then from a utilitarian point of view, it is more cost-effective to be loyal to a demigod than to believe in a true god. After all, he cannot make a deal with a true god, but he can negotiate terms with a demigod. As long as you take out enough chips, it is even possible to persuade the demigod to be your thug."

"Wow~ According to this, making a deal with a demigod who possesses the 'source of divine power' is simply a shortcut for careerists to become successful!"

Joan sighed and realized. No wonder the "Primitive Order", "Conquest Order" and "Brotherhood of Our Lady", which worship demigods, are more powerful and arrogant than many True God Churches.

People don't talk to you about life, ideals, beliefs, dedication, redemption... Such vain concepts, joining a cult created by a demigod is just to gain real benefits!

"Let's go back to the 'source of divine power'. Each 'source of divine power' can be regarded as a book. There are at least four groups of domain magic spells recorded in the book. When a demigod obtains the 'source of divine power', the first thing to do It is to open this volume of 'books' and check which fields are specifically recorded."

Ms. Jinlong patiently explained to Qiao An.

"If at least one of the domains contained in the 'source of divine power' is consistent with the concept of the demigod, it can be absorbed and utilized; on the contrary, if the concept is completely inconsistent, even if you obtain the 'source of divine power', you may not be able to grant yourself a god. Bricks and tiles are added to the road, but if it is not guaranteed, it will be harmful.”
