Chapter 729: Holding Back a Big Move
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Wow, the Gaia Church has built a society with faith as its core.
You need faith to boil water, run the air conditioner, turn on the lights, use the computer, and even lock the door.
In addition, you need faith to exchange for daily necessities and build houses.
Assuming that the minimum daily contribution of citizens is 100, then this 100 can barely support the life of a family.
Citizens receive supplies based on this faith contribution. 100 is only the lowest citizen, and they only receive a few kilograms of food, half a ton of water, a few grams of sugar, salt, a small amount of seasonal vegetables, etc.
And those who can pray hundreds, thousands, or even thousands of thousands of believers every day are naturally rich.
Don't underestimate this minimum citizen limit. The reason why many people can't reach it is not that they have any opinions about these gods, but that this requirement is very high.
You must be extremely pious. Those who can't reach it are not unpious, but not fanatical enough.
Those who are not fanatical enough can only spend a lot of time praying every day to make up for it with prayer time.
Those who barely meet the standard basically contribute their faith every day in exchange for basic living and citizenship, so they can't afford to maintain the air-conditioning statues, electric light statues and water heater statues at home.
Mo Qiong and others, as long as they see a family without lights or air conditioning, basically represent that the other party is a citizen at the poverty line.
Andy's family can always turn on the air conditioner, which is considered good.
As for those who can't meet the faith standard even if they only sleep a few hours a day, they can only participate in labor work.
The whole society revolves around faith.
The untouchables want to become citizens, citizens want to become wealthy citizens, wealthy citizens want to live a better life, and the most pious people become priests or other clergy in the church district.
The capable ones go up, and the incompetent ones go down, and the upward channel is clear and fair.
Even if the children of the bishops are not pious, they will be untouchables after they turn 15 years old.
It has to be said that faith can really maintain social stability and unite people's hearts.
Especially when they believe to this extent, their piety is converted to the God Church on the surface, and everyone is like a saint.
Because the whole social atmosphere is like this, the whole life channel is like this, the whole people's heart and education environment are like this.
Under this system, it is equivalent to everyone brainwashing themselves. In order to live a better life, they are used to believing in gods, accustomed to everything being given by gods, and accustomed to humans using humble and pious hearts to exchange everything they want.
Alive, from a young age, they have trained their ability to worship gods, pray, and superstitious personality.
Finally, they have been tempered into "faith animals" who believe in walking, sitting, lying, drinking, eating, moving, and smiling.
In the doctrine, whether it is the god of electric lights or the god of air conditioning, and even everything and shelter, they are all created by Gaia.
So believing in them is also believing in Gaia, and when praying, you must bring admiration and prayers to Mother Gaia.
It's just that Mother Gaia does not need people's substantial faith power, but in the prayers to many gods, people have instinctively placed Gaia in a higher and more transcendent position and engraved it in their hearts.
Firm as a saint.
This is the cleverness of the Gaia Church. Before the artificial god was created, faith was probably the currency here.
And now, with the artificial god, the church's cohesion has been epically improved.
The Gaia Church doesn't mind citizens connecting to the Internet on the surface. They have the capacity to let citizens observe the surface society.
Because citizens cannot be corrupted by life on the surface.
Movies? TV series? Books? They can watch them underground.
There are many natural scenery such as high mountains, flowing water, and waterfalls. If you want to experience them in person, you can also apply for transfer and be sent to work on the surface.
People here don't envy the life of people on the surface at all. They even think that most people on the surface are untouchables, bad people, chaotic and full of malice.
People on the surface have been blinded and the truth has been concealed. They don't know the origin of mankind, the greatness of the ancient gods, believe in false gods, work hard, pursue the interests of the turbid world, and are obsessed with ghosts and desires.
The human heart is like a demon, which can be feared, hated and abhorred.
And their citizens only need to pray to God.
They are trying to rescue the gods betrayed by the rebels, to atone for all mankind, and to find the forgotten truth for those ignorant people.
The faith accumulated and contributed by the citizens bit by bit will one day be used by the church to reveal the truth that has been hidden in the world for thousands of years and to welcome the coming of God.
By then, all their efforts from generation to generation will bloom on that day, and then they will usher in the forgiveness of God, so that the whole world will return to the Garden of Eden.
"Haha, the Eden era enslaved by gods..."
Mo Qiong and others, on the surface, agreed, but in fact they despised it in their hearts.
The Blue and White Society is indeed concealing the so-called truth. It is true that humans were created by ancient gods. It is precisely because it is true that it must be concealed.
Because the development path of human society does not need to know that humans are created by gods. It is enough for a small group of rational people to know. Letting everyone know will only bring chaos and madness.
For the rebellion of their ancestors, the descendants all enjoy the remaining shadow and have no right to comment.
As people who have survived to this day because of our ancestors, what qualifications do we have to consider their rebellion a sin and atone for it in order to ask for God's forgiveness?
This is a matter of stance, and there is no need to discuss right or wrong.
Just like the Blue and White Society used drugs to create smart rats today, they also began to use the smart rats as D-class personnel.
Although only some smart rats are D-class personnel, most D-class personnel are still human death row prisoners, but this is because many contained smart rats cannot be verified at all.
If intelligent mice can completely replace humans, then the Blue and White Society will really do the same thing as the ancient gods, or at most be more beautiful than the ancient gods...
Maybe one day, humans will also be overthrown by the wise rats.
But the Blue and White Society does not think that in such a future, the so-called rebellious rats are evil.
It can only be said that a new era has come, humans have been eliminated, and their skills are inferior to rats.
Likewise, the Ancient God himself is awesome enough to break through the seal and come out, and all humans have to do is fight to the death. The ancient gods are unwilling to give in, and humans are unwilling to compromise. This is a confrontation of positions.
But if human beings themselves appear to be disobedient to collective interests and want to push humanity into the abyss again, then there is no doubt that this is a sin.
The so-called sin only exists in the mutual recognition of different choices under the same racial stance.
The Blue and White Society believes that the path of the ancestors should be continued, while the Church of Gaia believes that humans should return to divine authority. There is an irreconcilable contradiction between the two.
Only the losers will be automatically judged as sinners who are separated from the human collective.
"This is basically the situation. The little kid doesn't know much, but what is certain is that the Gaia Church is holding back its ultimate move!" Gou Ye said mentally.
Mo Qiong said: "The Gaia Church has not launched a full-scale attack on our deep-sea prison because it is accumulating strength. Once it takes action, it is bound to win."
"These false gods are all derivatives, and that containment object should be able to mobilize and use the power of faith that has been stored by the public." Wu Yunmo said.
Mo Qiong looked at the portrait of the god posted on the door and said, "If nothing else, this electronic lock has endless uses. There are only two ways to crack this lock."
“Know the password, or be more religious than the one who locks it.”
Needless to say, knowing the password is equivalent to unlocking it with a key. Being more religious than the person who locks the lock is equivalent to being more skilled at picking locks than the locksmith.
Mr. Gou chuckled and said, "There is another way, which is to blow up the door directly."
The electronic lock god only protects the 'lock'. If the material of the door itself can be exploded, then it has nothing to do with it.
Catherine said: "The gods that have been exposed are all okay. The air-conditioning god can at most have super heating or cooling effects under the huge power of faith, and at most he can attack with freezing air."
Mo Qiong frowned and said: "But considering it is a derivative...if there is no upper limit to its power, theoretically the Gaia Church has enough faith reserves, can it freeze the sea?"
Catherine fell into deep thought and then said: "It makes sense. In the same way, the electric lamp god, as long as he has enough power of faith, may also bloom a terrifying light that illuminates the hemisphere."
Everyone was thinking that the Church of Gaia had been holding back its ultimate move, and the power of faith it had reserved might be an astronomical figure.
This is just one of the contained objects, and they probably have more means.
"We have to find out their trump cards one by one." Wu Yunmo said.
Mo Qiong looked out the window and saw the mission area with countless churches in the distance and said: "We have to find a way to sneak in, but with our piety..."
Sneaking is not safe. The Church of Gaia once dominated the world at the end of the 19th century, almost equivalent to the current Blue and White Society. The Blue and White Society can get Hawkeye's black technology from the assassins, so they must have it too.
"There is a 'superficial worshiper' in the club. I wonder if they can help us break into the church," Catherine said.
"You mean that Alpha containment object? No, right? That thing is a lie and should not produce substantial power of faith." Wu Yunmo said.
Mo Qiong asked: "What effect?"
Wu Yunmo said: "The firm belief in anything in your heart will be regarded as the same belief as your own in the eyes of others. In other words, if you firmly believe in 'communism and communism' in your heart, in the eyes of people who believe in God, you will That’s a staunch Christian.”
"By the way, we don't have any faith."
Wu Yunmo looked at Catherine, who smiled and said: "According to experiments, the Blue and White Society's belief in containment can be regarded as a kind of faith. Let's give it a try."
