Chapter 976

The people of Huo City were terrified. It was rare for the God of Fire to express his will so clearly. Basically, they performed sacrifices and prayed for him to do something, and he reluctantly gave a little response. The details depended on the mood of the old man.

All living beings in the Eastern Continent know a little bit of common sense, that is: Gods can be revered and feared, but they cannot demand them.

In other words, gods are not obligated to bless you, protect you and fulfill your wishes. On the contrary, these gods need to be appeased and sacrificed. If they are displeased, it is normal for them all to die.

The Lord of Fire City originally valued and relied on High Priest Liuyan, but now he hated him so much. Don't think that he doesn't know that the source of the idea of ​​killing the city lord and retaining the priest is basically the instruction from Liu Yan. The god's servant just lent him a mouth.

What's more, everyone believed that the previous oracle was the result of Liuyan's special sacrifice. As for why Liuyan wanted to harm the city lord, many people speculated that it was related to the fact that after Liuyan's divine blood ability was restored, it was not as good as before. The city lord no longer valued him as much as before, and even sent him to Jiuyuan, which he didn't like. Liuyan was afraid of losing his respected position as high priest, so he simply decided to get rid of the city lord and recruit a more obedient one.

The city lords are lucky. If Liu Yan's power was not as strong as before, and the three high priests were not so united, the city lord would have died today instead of Liu Yan.

The city lord's eyes passed over the people in the temple, and stayed on the two remaining priests for the longest time. He thought darkly: The power of the temple and the priests was too great, but as the oldest and most noble bloodline, he was going to be subject to He has long been intolerable of all the constraints in the temple. In the past, he was afraid of the God of Fire and only wanted to win over them, but now it seems that the God of Fire does not just favor the priests... Maybe it is time for the power structure of the Fire City to change.

Liu Yan's eyes were wide open when he died, and he truly refused to open his eyes to death.

Conspiracy! Everything is the conspiracy of the Jiuyuan people.

He wanted to shout out, but his mouth seemed to be stuck and he could no longer make any sound.

The young wizard who smiled beside him and watched him die, after telling the truth, raised a finger at him, and he could not utter a word after that.

That idol is fake! The oracle is also false! Jiuyuan people, blasphemers...

Liuyan stretched out his fingers, and his body slowly became stiff with this huge secret that could never be revealed.

The Lord of Fire City sneered, thinking that Liu Yan was pointing at him in the end.

The remaining two priests looked at each other. There was not much happiness in their eyes, but more of sadness. They all knew that what the divine servant said came from Liuyan's instructions, but considering the content of the oracle, it was of course better to change the city lord than to die himself. But it wasn't until such a scene happened that they discovered that the forces of the city lord were able to compete with the temple, so that their orders were ineffective, and the city lord led people to the most sacred place of sacrifice.

Things can't continue like this. Liu Yan's death is the best warning to the temple. The temple should be supreme, superior to everyone. If the city lord can kill Liuyan today, then tomorrow he can replace the temple, so that the temple can only be reduced to his words in the end!

The two priests saw each other's thoughts and formed an alliance. One of them was originally a direct relative of the city lord and the strongest supporter of the city lord's rise to power. But when the object of support becomes a threat to him, what do relatives count? Even their own son, they can give up!

Yan Mo and Yuan Zhan watched the power struggle in Huo City from beginning to end. Yan Mo was a little surprised why the Fire Ant King didn't tell the people in Huo City that the oracle was probably false, but he didn't know that the Fire Ant King himself was not sure either. After all, he is not the real God of Fire, just a guardian.

After watching this farce caused by a joke, Yan Mo felt refreshed. Yuan Zhanze seems to have thought a lot.

Yan Mo patted the original battle. The current power struggle between the city lord of Fire City and the temple is one of the hidden dangers in Jiuyuan in the future. When you and I abdicate, the next generation and the next generation will have more and more problems between the leaders and the priests. This is why I don’t let the people from the temple enter the Jiuyuan power structure, but let them go to class. reason. "

I am willing to give you power over me. Yuan Zhan said calmly.

Yan Mo chuckled, I know you are willing, but will the future leader be willing? If the temple wants to last forever, and the culture of Jiuyuan wants to be preserved for thousands of generations, the temple must be separated from power and only used as an institution for the inheritance of knowledge and spiritual symbolization. Temples can permanently retain seats on the Judiciary and Council of Elders, but they can never enter actual office. "

Yuan Zhan frowned, they had no power, how could they save themselves? "

The temple is responsible for inheritance. As long as the tribe is immortal, they can survive. Don't underestimate the power of teachers. As long as they are not too inhumane students, they will rarely attack the teachers who have taught them. And as long as the temple has strength, who can bully her? The current members of the temple basically come from priests, shamans and elders who have defected to various tribes, and this will continue to be the case in the future. "Yan Mo had already planned the future development of the temple, so he took this opportunity to tell Yuan Zhan about his plans.

The temple's force cannot be excessive. Priests and divine attendants can have guardian warriors, but the number must be specified. The same goes for temple guards. Retirement in the future... that is, for elderly warriors and others, if their merits are high enough, as long as they are willing, they can be allowed to enter the temple to enjoy offerings and be responsible for teaching at the same time. From now on, our temple in Jiuyuan will not develop into a sect, will not nurture young children from an early age, and will only accept adults. The temple will not set up branch temples in various cities.

Only teachers and doctors will be sent to teach and help schools in various places. All in all, the Jiuyuan Temple is a symbol of spirit and honor, a place for the inheritance, accumulation and research of knowledge. Her status will always be high and her spirit will be omnipresent, but no one in the temple will have substantial power. "

The Fire Ant King also heard the conversation between the two and suddenly interjected: Yes, this is a good idea! I have always felt that there is something strange about the Fire City. After listening to your words, I understand what is strange. The power of the temple is too great. Some of the priests in the past were dedicated to the tribe, but now the priests and some people in the temple have their own selfishness, and the Fire City bloodline gradually no longer regards the temple as a companion that they can rely on, but while using it, they fear and hate the other party. Maybe that oracle was really sent by the god of fire, just to make them sober. "

Yuan Zhan curled his lips, even if you told the people of Huo City about Mo's idea for the temple, they wouldn't be able to do it. No, it’s not that I can’t do it, it’s that I don’t want to do it. Except for Mo, I have never seen any priest who would be willing to give up power after gaining it. "

Yuan Zhan turned to Yan Mo and said: You can't do this to Jiuyuan's temple now. You are too important to Jiuyuan, and if you want the temple to develop into what you want, you must first have absolute power. But apart from you, other temple members can arrange it as you said. "

I see. "The more experience Yan Mo has, the more he knows. He has never been the boss before, and he takes many things for granted, including all the systems in Jiuyuan are based on beautiful imagination. If Yuan Zhan hadn't supported him, he would have Many of the things mentioned are a joke.

The boss has been sitting in the position for a long time, and has been actually exposed to various problems arising from all aspects of Jiuyuan. Now he no longer demands or extravagantly hopes that the first generation will implement democracy. This is probably the funniest thing about democracy. If you want to realize your dream, you must first obtain absolute power. If not, your will cannot be conveyed. In other words, you must first establish a dictatorship and centralize power. Let democracy happen. In short, no matter how good your idea is, without the support of power and strength, it is just a fantasy.

Once, Yan Mo thought that he and Yuan Zhan would abdicate after being the boss for ten or twenty years, but now he thought that they would probably have to sit in this seat for a long, long time, until Jiuyuan could stand up completely, and until Jiuyuan's rules and regulations were enacted It is so deep into everyone's heart that it even becomes the moral standard of the entire world, until Jiuyuan can speak the truth and be so strong that no one can easily overthrow it.

Of course, Yan Mo didn't know at this time that after he and Yuan Zhan abdicated, the Yuan Emperor who took over Jiuyuan soon proclaimed himself emperor. Jiuyuan has been an imperial system since then, and he and Yuan Zhan were even honored as the first generation of primitive people. Emperor Zun and the first generation of the Supreme High Priest.

Later, perhaps because Jiuyuan's system was full of humanity and very reasonable when it was first established, Yan Mo even introduced the two concepts of contribution points and volunteers, and Jiuyuan's various systems and regulations have been continuously improved, creating a virtuous cycle Next, the Jiuyuan Empire did not have to go through many changes, reorganizations, etc. like other ancient powers. In addition, the Jiuyuan Temple has always firmly grasped the hearts of all the people of Jiuyuan, making Jiuyuan's cohesion strong. It is so big that it is terrifying. All the people of Jiuyuan are proud to be born in Jiuyuan. Even if the rulers of Jiuyuan after him have various unsatisfactory places, the flaws cannot be concealed, and other forces who want to overthrow Jiuyuan cannot find them. What a high-sounding reason.

Time returned to the present. After watching the excitement of Fire City, Yan Mo returned to the underground of Fire City to help hatch the dead egg.

During this period, the Fire Ant King kept his promise and told him how to restore the divine blood ability to the seriously injured and incapacitated divine blood warrior.

Yan Mo actually did some research on this. After receiving the advice from the Fire Ant King, his thinking became clearer. By the way, he knew that his research direction was correct - everything lies in energy. As long as you can control energy, You can do a lot of incredible things.

Such as making the seriously injured recover, or even bringing the dead back to life.

However, in addition to using the soul-returning pill with harsh conditions, even if the deceased is resurrected using the source of life energy, he is no longer the same person as before, and even his appearance and gender can be completely changed.

Where is my queen ant! "The fire ant king stared wildly at the little fire ants that had just crawled out of the resurrected ant eggs.

Yan silently pointed at the small fire ants the size of rice grains.

This is not a female ant at all! Why did my queen turn into a male? "He could feel that the aura was still the same as the original queen ant, but why did she become him!?

...Probably because what she thought about most before she died was that she no longer wanted to be a queen ant that kept giving birth. "
