After the God of Aristocracy retreated with a pale face, the God of Light sighed and looked around at the gods.
"I think everyone knows the negative effects of the power of faith. I know that many of you have also thought about whether to eliminate some of the believers to reduce this negative effect. For example, just like what he did just now, kill a large number of those general believers and shallow believers. Anyway, after their souls die, they go to the underworld. This way, they can directly cut off the connection with each other and reduce their own burden … "
"I will only say this once." The voice of the king of the human gods was very calm, but there was a murderous intent in his eyes. "From now on, if anyone does this kind of thing for personal interests, he will die!"
The gods were shocked, but no one dared to oppose.
After a while, the God of Heroes asked in a low voice, "What if … there is a situation that requires pure faith?"
"Let's bring it up in front of everyone and discuss the specific measures," the God of Light said. "We are the gods of human beings. For us, whether you believe in us or not, as long as you are still standing in the position of human beings, you are the object of our protection."
"When we do things, of course, we have to focus on the overall situation, so sometimes we can't avoid sacrificing some people. But you must be clear about one thing. What is the overall situation? The position of human beings is the overall situation, the most important overall situation! "
"Good or evil, order or chaos. No matter what we do, we must serve the overall situation of 'human beings.' For this overall situation, we can sacrifice mortals, and so can gods! "
After he finished speaking, the entire hall fell silent. All the Gods were speechless.
After a long time, the God of Protection asked, "Your Majesty, how should we deal with the matter of the Legendary Masters of the Mifata Federation teaming up to destroy the Golden Tower City and destroy the Church of the God of Aristocracy?"
"What else can we do? Wait, "the God of Light said impatiently. "The Legendary Masters of the Mifata Federation are the indispensable high-end magic power of human beings. They are also the key to restraining and managing the spell casters' organizations and holding the power of 'magic' tightly in the hands of human beings. Of course we can kill them, but what about after that? If the Mifata Federation collapses, the spell casters will lose their restraints, and a large number of spell casters will be attracted to the foreign races … This is not good for the overall situation of human beings. "
"But the face of the God of Aristocracy …"
"What face does a god need? No matter how shameful it is, after a few hundred years, no one will remember it. "
The deities looked at each other in dismay. In the end, they had nothing to say.
Thus, this matter was settled. With no reaction from the human gods, the destruction of the Golden Tower City gradually subsided, and there was no further news.
And in the Commonwealth of Gold Coins, the aristocratic parties who had been itching for a fight also became well-behaved again and no longer stirred up trouble.
The Republic of Northwest, the merchant party of the Commonwealth of Gold Coins, the Dhaka Business Alliance, and now the Mifata Federation. There were more and more countries that allowed commoners to have surnames. Gradually, it had become a general trend. Even if the aristocratic party wanted to make a move, they would not dare to do so now, let alone use this reason.
They were very clear that their power was indeed stronger than that of the merchant party, and they had a certain advantage. But compared to the Mifata Federation, it was not worth mentioning. Since the Legendary Masters of the Mifata Federation were so determined that they would not hesitate to destroy a city and completely fall out with the God of Aristocracy to get this done, then this matter was more or less a foregone conclusion.
No aristocrat, no country, would really offend those great Legendary Masters for such a small matter.
On the contrary, even if it was just to please them, many people would be in a hurry to promote the movement for commoners to have surnames, so that it would spread quickly in various countries.
At another meeting of the great aristocrats, Marquis Gordon made this suggestion.
"Let's also have a movement for commoners to have surnames." He looked a little haggard, and it was obvious that he had not rested well during this period of time. He was mentally exhausted. "Instead of waiting until we can't withstand the pressure and then lowering our heads, why don't we do it ourselves while we can still control the situation?"
The counts looked at each other, and finally, they all looked at Marquis Yuke.
No matter what, the leaders of the aristocratic party were still the two marquises. Even the nine local counts, who had always been at odds with them and had always been fighting openly and covertly, chose to retreat at this time and let them make the decision.
Marquis Yuke had long made a conclusion in his heart. At this moment, when he heard this, he only sighed softly and said, "It seems that we can't do it!"
"Yes, there's no other way!"
"Although it feels a little embarrassing, after all, people can't live on their reputation."
"Actually, it's not a big deal to think it through. Even if everyone has a surname, our status is enough to make our surnames more glorious."
When Marquis Yuke said this, his attitude was already very clear. Seeing that the two leaders had unified their opinions, the five counts of the central party chimed in to support them. The counts of the local faction did not object and expressed their approval one after another.
No matter what, the matter of more than ten legendary mages joining forces to destroy Golden Tower City had really put too much pressure on them. Seeing that even Marquis Yuke of the hardliners had lowered his head, how could they still be stubborn?
If they did not lower their heads now, would they really have to wait for the mages to come knocking on their door?
That would really be a great disgrace!
"Since everyone agrees, then this matter is settled first," Marquis Gordon said with some exhaustion. "But … we have to be stricter about the issue of conferring surnames, and the number of surnames we can confer should be relatively fewer."
"And we can also learn from the Republic of Northwest and try to drag it out." Marquis Yuke said with a smile. "For example, a surname can only have 200 households or something like that. That's a good idea."
"Won't that increase the workload by a lot?" an count asked.
"Of course it will." Marquis Yuke smiled very slyly. "But isn't this the effect we want? The workload increases, so it can't be done quickly. If it can't be done quickly, of course it will drag on for a longer time … "
"What a good idea!" An count could not help but laugh. "Our efficiency is definitely not as good as the Republic of Northwest's. It's very normal for a round of registration to take one or two years. When the final statistics are done, it's not strange for it to take another six months to a year. In this way, after three or four rounds of registration, eight to ten years will pass. If we do a few more rounds of registration, it's not impossible to drag on for 20 years. "
"Yes, 20 years later, who knows what things will be like. By then, I believe that the general situation of the world will be clearer, and no matter which direction we want to go, we will be more confident. "
At this point, the old cunning fellows could not help but look at each other and laugh.
