Of course, the God of Light was not the only god who had praised Sui Xiong's republican system. Next, Javier listed many gods, many of which were famous. What surprised him the most was that the Sky God of the Natural God System actually had such a high opinion of this system.
When he heard this, he could not help but be shocked. "If I remember correctly, isn't the Sky God the God of Nature? Why would he be interested in the country system of mortals? "
"You ask me, but who should I ask? I only heard about this indirectly. "Javier smiled and shook his head." You don't think that just because I have so many friends, I can talk to His Majesty, do you? Our statuses are so different, it's impossible! "
Sui Xiong thought about it and smiled.
The God of Faith and the God of Nature belonged to two different camps. Although they were not enemies, it was difficult for them to become friends. For Javier to be able to talk to the Sky God and ask him about the republican system, it was already very impressive. It was comparable to a character in an old-fashioned romance game. If the Sky God could actually ask the Sky God himself, Sui Xiong could not help but wonder if the Sky God was a master in disguise …
"What did the Sky God say about the republican system?" Sui Xiong asked with a smile.
"His Majesty said that this system is conducive to social mobility. Compared to aristocratic enfeoffment, it reflects the principle of survival of the fittest. Also, the strong can receive corresponding status through their contributions, which is far better than being strong to begin with. He said that this system is closer to the evolution of nature and is an innovation worthy of praise. "
Sui Xiong could not help but nod. Although he did not completely agree with the Sky God's view, he had to admit that the Sky God's evaluation of the republican system from the perspective of nature was very inspiring.
Javier spent almost half an hour before he finished telling the Sky God what he knew about the republican system. Most of the comments were positive, but there were also some negative ones. For example, the Lord of War did not have a good opinion of it. This fierce and aggressive God felt that the republican system paid too much attention to the interests of the common people and did not protect the interests of the strong enough.
"It can't be. The strong have far more power than the common people, so it is easy for them to obtain higher honor and status. Isn't this very well protected?" Sui Xiong asked in confusion.
"That's what the Lord of War said. I don't know what he meant." Javier shook his head. "But I think he wants the strong to have more power. For example, he wants to establish a society where the strong rule everything and determine social status by force. Ordinary people can either become strong or become slaves. Maybe that's the kind of society."
Sui Xiong thought about it and shook his head. "I don't agree with this. It seems that he and I are not the same kind of people."
For Sui Xiong, the reason why he wanted to promote the progress and development of society was that he had witnessed the hard life of the common people in this world. He wanted to do something for these exploited and oppressed people. This was his original intention, and it was also his fundamental principle that could not be compromised.
The birth of the republic was actually a compromise of his own ideas against reality.
In this world, the strong were the most important foundation for the advancement of productivity. This was an undeniable fact.
However, Sui Xiong absolutely did not agree with the idea that the strong should have everything, and that production resources should be distributed according to the degree of strength.
If a society wanted to progress, the people at the bottom were the foundation. Without this foundation, the so-called "culture of the strong" was nothing more than a castle in the air, and it would not take long before it collapsed.
Apart from other things, without a large number of common people to supply the population, where would the strong come from? Just relying on the descendants of those experts?
That was almost like the social form of the dragons, and the dragons were famous for their small population.
Many people mistakenly thought that the small population of the dragons was due to their low fertility rate. In fact, this was not the case at all. Most of the dragons had a high fertility rate. The common five-colored dragons could give birth about once in a hundred years, and each time they gave birth to two or three offspring. Considering their great strength and long life span, this fertility rate was already very high.
But why was the population of the dragons still so small? This was because of their somewhat abnormal social form.
In the society of the dragons, the strong trampled on the weak and took whatever they wanted. The death rate of the young and young dragons had always been shockingly high, and most of them died at the hands of their own kind. Among the common advanced professions of the dragons, more than half of them were specialized in restraining the dragons.
This crazy natural elimination greatly increased the average combat power of the dragons, but it also made the population of the dragons stagnant. If it were not for the fact that the current Dragon Emperor used an unreasonable attitude to promote a law that forbade the superior dragons from killing the inferior dragons after robbing, the population of the dragons would have shrunk a long time ago!
Therefore, Sui Xiong scoffed at the Lord of War's criticism.
He even secretly felt that he might have to fight with the Lord of War in the future, and he had to beat the Lord of War into submission.
This thought just flashed in his mind, and even he himself did not care.
After Javier finished relaying the praise and criticism, Morani also spoke. He spoke about the Orc God Lefon's views on the republic.
"His Majesty the Sky Devourer Canine asked me to tell you that he thinks your system is very innovative, and it seems to be very suitable for the orcs. If you can't continue to promote it in human society, you are welcome to join the orc god system. His Majesty Lefon is willing to let you preside over the social reform of the Orc Empire. "
Sui Xiong was shocked, and his eyes widened. "Did you hear that right? He said 'he's willing to let me preside over the social reform of the Orc Empire'? The republic system and the empire system don't match at all! "
"I asked him the same question, and he said, 'The orcs are not a cultural group, and they don't have any special traditions. As long as they can become stronger and bigger, not to mention the republic system, they can even take turns to be the emperor.'"
"He's really open-minded …" Sui Xiong muttered, but he could not help but ask, "Then, what if I can keep the Republic of Northwest running smoothly?"
"I also asked him the same question, and he said, 'Then we can all be neighbors. Anyway, I believe that jellyfish will never be like some narrow-minded people who are racist. Even if they do discriminate, they will not discriminate against the orcs.'"
Sui Xiong shook his head and laughed.
"Sky Devourer Canine" Lefon was really an open-minded person. He was so easy-going, and Sui Xiong did not know how he managed to control the orc god system.
"Big brother, what do you think of my system?" After laughing, he looked at the God of Justice, who had not spoken a word since the beginning.
The God of Justice's face was very solemn. He carefully looked at the founding ceremony of the Republic of Northwest that was being held below, and silently pondered.
When Sui Xiong asked for the second time, he came to his senses, but did not answer. Instead, he looked at Sui Xiong in confusion.
"Brother, I don't understand your thoughts anymore," he said. "Why did you establish this country?"
"To promote my ideals and protect my believers. Why else?" Sui Xiong answered matter-of-factly.
"If that's the case, why don't you establish the Church of the Void Mask as the state religion of the Republic of Northwest?"
"State religion?" Sui Xiong was stunned. Of course, he had thought about this before, but he always felt that a theocratic country was awkward. It always reminded him of some barbarians in the 21st century who still wanted to go back to the seventh century.
I'm not talented, but I don't care about those things that go against the law!
But if he said this, the gods of this world would not understand. He thought about it and finally came up with an answer.
"If I establish a state religion, I will become the patron saint of this country," he said half-truthfully. "I'm willing to be a guardian, but I don't want to be a patron saint."
"To be honest, it's a good priesthood to protect a certain area, a certain country, or a certain nation," Morani advised. "For a new god, it's a very reliable priesthood, and you don't have to worry about conflicts with others. I think it's quite good."
"Yes, starting from a patron saint is the best way for a new god to start," Javier also advised.
The Goddess of Wealth, Manissy, did not join in the persuasion. She felt that this ally, the Void Mask, was unpredictable. Since he was not willing to be a patron saint, there must be an important reason. Instead of useless persuasion, it was better to talk about something meaningful.
So when Sui Xiong smiled and declined everyone's suggestions, she asked, "Are you planning to continue to maintain the state of freedom of belief in the Republic of Northwest?"
Sui Xiong nodded. "I think that belief should be free. Only when it comes from the recognition of the idea of God can it be called a meaningful belief."
"If that's the case, how are you going to manage the various churches, temples, and clergymen?" Manissy continued to ask. "I noticed that in your document on the republic, there is no mention of this at all."
Sui Xiong was silent for a moment and sighed.
"This … is very difficult to handle!"
In this world, "theocracy" was the root of all power. Sui Xiong was not the kind of madman who really wanted to overturn the world with a knife. He was also very clear about his own ability and had no intention of challenging the nature of this theocratic society.
So he avoided questions about gods, churches, and the like.
"You have to do it even if it's difficult," Manissy advised. "Among the gods, many are enemies. If you really want to allow the various churches to preach freely, I can bet that in less than three to five years, there will be serious disputes among the various churches in the Republic of Northwest. What will you do then? "
Sui Xiong was silent for a long time. He sighed deeply, forced a smile, and said.
"When that time comes, I only have one thing to say."
"What is it?"
"Preaching … also has to follow the basic law."
