Every god had a priesthood and a domain. The former was the derivation of the power of the origin of the world, and the latter was the mastery of his own power. To obtain a priesthood, one first needed to understand and master the corresponding power, and raise this mastery to the point where it was enough to touch the origin of the world. On this basis, one could accept the rights and obligations derived from it. Only then could one obtain the recognition of the world, master this power from the height of the origin, and thus produce a priesthood.
From an individual point of view, it was enough to raise the power to the domain level. For example, Sui Xiong had mastered the power of many domains. In battles with various gods, these powers could be put to good use, and he did not have to worry about being restrained. But from the perspective of the authority of a god, only by raising the power to the priesthood level could one derive the authority from it, and through the channel of faith, one could bestow special abilities to his believers.
Let's take Sui Xiong as an example. He had once bestowed the power of ice to his believers. At that time, he had done it himself, passing the power point to point. But if he raised the power of ice from the domain level to the priesthood level, then every believer could get the power of ice through prayer — as long as they were pious enough and could generate a strong enough channel of faith.
Once a god's priesthood was established, his believers could widely obtain power through prayer. Since they had obtained power, they naturally had to use it. In the process, trouble often followed.
Among Morani's priesthood was "mining," and he was the only god in the entire Orc God System who had this priesthood. So many Orc and Half-Orc miners believed in him. Mining often required digging deep into the ground to dig mineral veins. In the process, conflicts with the underground monsters were inevitable. Although the Orcs had excellent dark vision, it was far from enough to work and explore underground. So in conflicts, they were mostly the ones who suffered.
These miners were just ordinary people. In the foreseeable future, it was impossible for them to have power comparable to that of adventurers. So how to properly train them so that they could escape more easily when they encountered danger underground had always been a problem that gave Morani headaches.
He had also discussed this problem with other gods in the Orc God System, but the Orc gods did not take his concerns seriously.
"What does it matter if they die? Anyway, the little guys are very good at giving birth. "
"Yes, how can there be no deaths in mining?"
"Morani, you're thinking too much. We're not nannies!"
The Orc God System was generally in the Evil Camp. They despised life and valued power. They saw savagery and viciousness as the symbol of bravery. They did not care about the casualties of their believers. On the other hand, Morani and the Barbarian God System under his command were a group of gods that were neutral or even good. Their attitude was to respect life. The clash of two different ideologies made Morani's worries seem foolish and weak in the eyes of the Orc Gods.
If it weren't for the fact that the Iron Lion was really good at fighting, and almost no one among the Orc gods could defeat him, they would have laughed at him!
Morani was completely disappointed with his colleagues and had been thinking about how to solve this problem. Only today did he find a solution.
He could organize his believers to explore the underground maze of the Void Mask amusement park and gain experience in conflicts with the underground monsters under the premise of safety. Although this experience was rather one-sided, it was still better than knowing nothing at all!
However, there was still a problem that needed to be solved.
"My believers are generally not rich … I'll think of a way to pay for their training fees." Thinking of the problem of money, the powerful Master God of the Barbarian God System was also a little embarrassed. "In a few days, I'll go to the outer plane to look for some gold or something."
"It's tacky to talk about money!" Sui Xiong smiled and shook his head. "When you helped me, did you talk about money?"
"We can not talk about money, but believers can't not talk about money," Morani said. "Your amusement park needs maintenance, right? The cost of maintenance, the wages of the workers, including the transportation fees for safety, all of these need money. "
Sui Xiong was stunned by what he said. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be the case.
No wonder Snow was always so irritable when business was bad before …
So this matter was more or less settled. Morani sent out the original bodies of the Barbarian God System to go to the outer plane to look for wealth. And the incarnation organized the believers to go to the Void Mask amusement park in batches to receive underground exploration training.
This was also thanks to Sui Xiong's painstaking efforts to build a huge transmission array. The gods only needed to get the transmission array password from him, and then let him open the corresponding authority, and they could activate the transmission array from any place on the Main Plane, directly sending the believers to the amusement park.
As for after the training, they could also use the transmission array to go to the various capital cities, and then return to their respective mining areas.
This process would naturally incur huge costs, mainly because it would consume a large amount of magic power. But for the gods, magic power was not a problem at all.
After this matter was settled, Sui Xiong and Morani walked together, and asked this enthusiastic ranger about the knowledge of managing believers.
Managing believers was a compulsory course for all gods, and it was also a problem that Sui Xiong had been worried about before. He felt that since the believers believed in him, prayed to him sincerely, and asked for protection, he should do his best to protect them. But this meant that he would be bound by the believers, and in the future when there was a conflict with the enemy, he would inevitably be restrained. For example, if the God of Justice did not intervene, he really did not know how to deal with the possible attack of that guy.
The God of Justice did not care about this problem, because he did not need believers at all. He believed that "justice" was temporary and not eternal. When people encountered a situation where they had to make a choice, the idea of justice would burst forth. And most of the time, people did not need justice. So his doctrine was "When people need justice and are willing to sacrifice for justice, I will support them and give them the power to uphold justice."
If this was not the case, then what should he do?
Just do it! If his incarnation happened to be nearby, then he would intervene. If he could not intervene, then forget it.
"Although I am the God of Justice, I will never be bound by morality." When Sui Xiong asked him for advice, he said, "The legitimate interests of mortals should be protected, and my legitimate interests should also be protected. This is justice! If my interests are harmed for the interests of mortals, how can it be called justice? "
To put it bluntly, his attitude was "get together without hard work." He did not pursue long-term faith, nor did he maintain the organization of believers and churches.
So he could run amok in the world, and no one could do anything to him.
"What about your Holy Kingdom? What about the Holy Spirits? "Sui Xiong asked.
The God of Justice smiled and said nothing. Sui Xiong immediately realized that he had asked a question that he should not have asked, and he repeatedly apologized.
This was the biggest secret of the God of Justice, and also something that the hostile gods had been puzzled about. How could he reveal it?
In short, Sui Xiong could not learn the knowledge of managing believers from the God of Justice. And the other gods who had a good relationship with him were not good teachers.
Although the God of Redemption was old, he was an old servant. In the long years, he had never been able to have a large number of believers, and he had never had disputes with any gods, so he had never considered this kind of problem.
The Goddess of Ocean … she was a negative example. Even her successor, the Mermaid Princess, did not know how to manage believers. The Goddess of Ocean completely let the demigods under her command and the surviving old Holy Spirits in the Holy Kingdom handle this matter. As for how they did it … well, anyway, it was nothing more than the six-syllable mantra.
I trust you to handle it.
Sui Xiong wanted to learn from her, but he really did not have such a powerful person under him. The only all-rounder was now in the name of the Archpriest of the church, and he was a consul in someone else's place.
Leon himself had expressed his willingness to return to the amusement park to work more than once, but Sui Xiong could not agree. Miss Casali Riley did not know how many times she had prayed to the gods, asking which god would help her protect her love. As the god that Leon believed in, Sui Xiong himself had also received her prayers more than once.
Although he felt that Leon did not seem to have much interest in the beautiful girl, he thought about it carefully. Leon was already in his thirties. If he were on Earth, he would definitely be considered a golden bachelor. No matter what, he should be at the age to consider getting married and starting a career. It was rare for a girl with good conditions to pursue him. As his big brother, how could Sui Xiong ruin his brother's plan?
So he not only did not agree to let Leon return to the amusement park, but also secretly made a bottle of magic potion that could keep Casali young and slow down the aging process, so that Casali could stay young and slowly have a long-distance love with Leon.
"If one year is not enough, then ten years. If ten years is not enough, then a hundred years. Anyway, don't worry, I won't let you die of old age before that stupid boy." In the dream of the beautiful castellan, the big green jellyfish patted his chest with his tentacles and promised. "I can't help you with love, so leave the logistics to me!"
Unconsciously, he had gained a fairly hardcore believer.
Morani listened to him ramble on and on, and his face was full of smiles.
His new friend must be very lonely … Seeing that he was so happy to meet someone he could talk to, he must have always sat alone on the altar and had a deep estrangement with his believers.
The huge difference between gods and mortals made every god who wanted to be intimate with his believers very distressed. Why did the gods often form a god system? Of course, there was the intention of forming an alliance and helping each other, but it was more like a group of lonely people huddling together for warmth.
"Oscar, are you interested in joining the Barbarian God System?" He asked with interest when they were resting for lunch. "I have no intention of controlling or controlling anyone. Our god system is mainly for the convenience of everyone to chat and communicate."
"Looking at you, I think … you need some friends that you can chat and communicate with."
