"You're really ruthless! Are you going to be the enemy of all the gods? " Javier rushed over. As soon as he saw Sui Xiong, he shouted angrily, "Are you really tired of living? Do you want to die?"
"It's not as serious as you say." Sui Xiong was calm and not nervous at all. "Why do you think I'm going to be the enemy of the whole world?"
"What you're doing now negates the royal power and aristocratic rule. But the royal power and the theocracy have always been one. Negating the royal power is equal to negating the theocracy! "
Sui Xiong laughed. "Brother, you're much older than me, but in terms of knowledge, you're really not as good as me. How do you think the royal power and the theocracy are one? Who depends on whom? "
Javier was stunned. After thinking for a while, his nervous and anxious expression gradually eased.
"It seems that you also understand that in this world, the real control of society is the theocracy. Something like royal power is nothing more than relying on the big tree of divine power, and it is only a small supplement to divine power. " Crick had already thought about these problems in the past, and Sui Xiong had thought about them carefully. At this moment, he naturally opened his mouth without thinking. "The reason why the theocracy needs to be supplemented is that the number of clergymen is limited — no matter which god, there are not enough clergymen under their command. And the main business of the clergymen is to practice, pray, and preach, and they can't spare too much time and energy to deal with government affairs, so another set of national system is needed to deal with these political work. "
"The royal power and aristocratic rule, to put it bluntly, have little value."
Javier nodded slightly and said thoughtfully, "So you directly abolish the royal power and the aristocratic rule. But as long as the foundation of the country controlled by the theocracy is not changed, for the gods, the situation will not change fundamentally."
"Yes! Although for the people, without a layer of exploitation and oppression, their lives will be much better. But for the gods, it's still the same country, the same people, "Sui Xiong said. "Not only that, because of the lack of the royal power, the contact between the people and the theocracy will be closer, and maybe the theocracy will be strengthened."
Javier thought for a long time, frowned and asked, "There are many theocratic countries in the world, where the theocracy and the royal power are integrated. How do you explain this situation?"
"Which country are you talking about? Specific examples require specific analysis. "
"For example, the Kingdom of Holy Angels. Although that country has perished, it has existed for almost 3,000 years."
Sui Xiong smiled and said, "Although the royal power and theocracy of the Kingdom of Holy Angels are one, in essence, it is actually a backward country ruled by blood — in fact, most of the more stable theocratic countries are ruled by blood. The rulers of these countries had the bloodline of the gods they believed in. Although this bloodline might not bring any special power, it was easy to identify. This made them natural nobles, and thus formed the ruling system. And in such an environment, the more devout one's faith, the purer one's bloodline would be, and the higher the holiness and purity of one's bloodline. Thus, the divine authority would also be consolidated … Actually, this type of government was quite weak and unstable. Look at the Kingdom of Holy Angels. After the Sun God was killed, they became servants in the blink of an eye without any decent resistance. "
"In a theocratic country, when a god falls, the country will naturally weaken. What's wrong with that?"
Sui Xiong shook his head. "Let me give you an example. The Kingdom of Eagle inherited the bloodline of the God of Eagle, but from the beginning, the divine authority and the royal power were separated. The clergymen did not take on secular positions to maintain the purity of the faith. Later, the God of Eagle fell. Although it greatly affected the strength of the country, it did not lead to the destruction of the country — on the contrary, in the year when the God of Eagle fell, the Orc Emperor at that time felt that the Kingdom of Eagle was in a big crisis. He wanted to take advantage of the situation and launched a large-scale invasion. As a result, he was ambushed by the Kingdom of Eagle and suffered a great loss. Six legendary strongmen died in the battle, and even the Orc Emperor himself died in the battle. "
"These two examples, one is negative, and the other is positive. Which is better is clear at a glance."
Javier nodded as he listened. Now he also felt that he had worried too much before, and it was really a bit of a fuss.
But after thinking for a while, he became worried again and asked, "Anyway, at present, the theocracy and the royal power in many countries are quite closely combined. Since you're so blatantly opposing the royal authority, those kings and nobles will definitely use their influence to deal with you. If they unite, it will be difficult for the various temples to refuse their request! "
Sui Xiong smiled, but this time it was not a gentle smile, but a cold and sinister smile.
"If they are not afraid of death, they can try," he said coldly. He said coldly, "Brother, don't forget that I'm the only god in this world whose real body is walking in the mortal world. If you really infuriate me, I can kill all the royals and nobles in the world in one night, and not just them, but their entire families! "
Javier shuddered and stared at Sui Xiong with his eyes wide open.
"You … you can't be serious, can you?"
"Do I look like I am joking?" Sui Xiong asked.
"That is too exaggerated!"
"What is exaggerated about it?" Sui Xiong said with a cold smile. "A family crying is better than a country crying. Moreover, I have always been a man of my word. If I say I will kill his whole family, I will kill them all. I guarantee that their whole family will be wiped out, and they will not even have a funeral to cry for."
Javier could not help but swallow his saliva. He decided to inform all the gods who were friends with him later, so that they would not listen to the provocation and find trouble with Sui Xiong.
This jellyfish friend … seemed to have some mental problems.
The most frightening thing was that he was a super strong man who had the ability to turn horrible threats into reality!
Killing the whole family just because he said he wanted to. This kind of thing, he could really do it!
"The basis of rule is violence. In the face of more powerful violence, or violence that is not strong enough but cannot be restrained, any rule is pale and weak." Sui Xiong no longer sneered, but seriously explained to him, "In the current Main Plane, I am the most powerful violence. Even if the gods unite and descend, at most they can only chase me away, but as soon as they leave, I can immediately kill them. So in this case, I am not afraid of those kings and great nobles playing violence with me at all — they should be grateful that I do not use violence to deal with them. "
Javier nodded repeatedly, feeling that his jellyfish friend's brain was still normal, and he was not crazy.
But … it was still necessary to remind his other friends not to provoke Oscar.
He thought about it and asked, "Forget about these things, but how are you going to solve the contradiction between the two gods, 'Royalty' and 'Aristocracy'? When you come out with this document, you are standing in the position of mortal enemies with them, and there is no room for compromise! "
"Solve? Why should I solve it with them? " Sui Xiong laughed. "The God of Royalty has no sense of existence, and the God of Aristocracy … I have a contradiction with him, and if there is a chance to kill him, I do not mind stabbing him. If I am unlucky, he will definitely come and throw a stone at me. Now it is nothing more than to clarify the contradiction between us, what does it matter? "
"What if he comes to fight against you?"
"Then come on! I am not afraid of him in the war of gods! "Sui Xiong said confidently." As for the fight at the level of mortals … haha! Let him find a way to send the main force to the Ashes Woods first! "
Javier thought about it and could not help but laugh.
If there was a war of gods, he believed that his jellyfish friend was absolutely not afraid of fighting to the death with the God of Aristocracy — if they really fought, he even dared to open a bet. If the God of Aristocracy won, the odds were one to ten; if the Void Mask won, the odds were one to ten. As for the fight in the human world … as his jellyfish friend said, the future Republic of Northwest would not border any areas where the God of Aristocracy had a large influence, and it was impossible for the God of Aristocracy to find trouble with the Church of the Void Mask through a war at the level of mortals.
"The northwest is very remote," Sui Xiong said. "It is quite far from the 'civilized world' in the general sense. As long as I do not take the initiative to attack, after a few years or decades, everyone will get used to the existence of the Republic. After all, is there a lack of strange countries in this world? Were there not a lot of strange gods around? For the vast majority of aristocrats, as long as they are not near them, as long as they do not attack them, what others say or do has nothing to do with them. "
Javier nodded repeatedly, and finally let go of the worry in his heart.
"I originally thought that you were hot-headed and looking for trouble, but now it seems that you are still very calm. As you said, as long as you do not blindly expand, and patiently develop slowly, after a few years or decades, everyone will naturally acquiesce to the existence of the Republic of Northwest. " Speaking of this, he could not help but laugh. "Who knows, when the time comes, many gods will change their views and turn to support the system that you have designed!"
"Thank you for your auspicious words." Sui Xiong also laughed. "To be honest, I do not have much hope. But thinking about it carefully, it seems that there may really be such a day. Perhaps in the not too distant future, the system of the Republic will become the mainstream of countries in the world. When that time comes, all countries will implement a system of separation between bureaucrats and nobility under the premise of respecting the theocracy. There will be no more conferring of land, and no more hereditary royal power. When that time comes, those who play with royal power and aristocratic rule will instead become the aliens that people will be wary of and will be warned against. "
"I think there will be such a day."
"Yes, there will be such a day," Sui Xiong said confidently. Sui Xiong said confidently, "Maybe it will take a hundred years, or a thousand years, but for us, time is nothing."
"As long as the direction is right, I do not care how much time it takes!"
