Chief High Priest and rebuilding the kingdom …
After listening to Alice's words, Eve fell into deep thought.
"Alice, have you ever thought of becoming a Chief High Priest?"
She pondered for a moment and asked.
Religious leaders were the spokespersons of the True God in the secular world.
Although Eve often interfered in the affairs of the church as Zero, her original intention was just to have a body that could move freely and deal with some problems that the Elves couldn't handle when their strength wasn't enough.
He had never thought about it, nor did he intend to become his own spokesperson.
Speaking of which, the True God appointed the Pope and the like to facilitate the spread and rule of their own faith. Religious leaders were the strongest "tools" for the True God to manage the church.
If she was both a True God and a Chief High Priest, to be honest … it would be boring.
She would be looking for work for herself and would be bored to death.
He might as well use his identity as a True God to directly issue an oracle to the symbolic Saintess and control the Church.
Speaking of which, it was necessary to mention the difference between a Saintess and a religious leader.
If the religious leader was the spokesperson of the True God, the highest leader and manager of the church, then the Saintess was the bridge of communication between the True God and the church.
Although religious leaders could also obtain oracles from the True God through prayer, under normal circumstances, they were far closer to the True God than the Saintess.
This was because the Saintess of each church was chosen from the most devout believers.
They might not have the ability to manage the church, but they could directly communicate with the True God and convey the guidance of the True God.
From this point of view, although the Saintess wasn't a religious leader, as an existence that could directly communicate with the True God, she had always had a transcendent status in each church.
They were almost on the same level as the religious leaders and could even influence the decisions of the church.
However, this was under normal circumstances.
The current management model of Eve's Life Church was actually "abnormal."
As the Saintess, Alice had completely become a slave to running around and even took on the task of managing the players.
And Eve, who was wearing the identity of Zero, also faintly felt like a religious leader when she interfered in the affairs of the church again and again. Because she always issued oracles, she even had the shadow of a Saintess.
This was equivalent to the role of Chief High Priest being shared between Alice and Eve. Eve even snatched part of the role of Saintess.
And because of Eve's strength and Alice's obedience, the status of Eve's sockpuppet became even higher …
In short, there was only one word, and that was chaos.
Now that Alice mentioned the matter of the High Priest, Eve carefully thought about it and felt that it was time to make a decision.
He was very satisfied with Alice's work, and the identity of the Saintess and the religious leader were not impossible to overlap.
Previously, Eve had repeatedly interfered in the affairs of the Church because the inherent thinking of the elves was sometimes too pedantic, and some important decisions needed Eve to personally make the decision. Moreover, the game system was not yet perfect, and only Eve, who knew everything, could control the overall situation …
But things were different now.
The elves had already changed imperceptibly, and the game system was gradually on the right track. Eve could actually let go now.
So after thinking about it, Eve intended to let Alice take over everything.
In the end, she would slowly become behind-the-scenes. Even if she acted as Zero, it would be best to only act as a hired thug and Oracle!
Hearing Eve's words, Alice was slightly stunned.
She smiled bitterly, then shook her head.
"Lady Zero, you overestimate me. As the scale of the Church expands, I feel more and more that I'm not suitable to be a manager."
"But aren't you doing very well?"
Eve said.
"That's because I have the help of you and the Chosen One."
Alice sighed.
After that, she paused, and her expression gradually became solemn.
"More importantly, the scale of the Church is getting bigger and bigger. I think it's time to rebuild a perfect Church system and organizational structure."
Rebuild a perfect Church system and organizational structure …
Eve was deep in thought.
Ever since Eve revived as the World Tree, although she had rebuilt the Church and gathered the elves, in fact, a perfect organizational structure had not been formed.
Although there were more and more priests in the Church of Life, and a group of devout High Priests had been born, the management of the entire Church and even the priests' ranks were still quite chaotic.
Not to mention other things, the priests' functions, promotion standards, and management of believers were still in a more extensive management mode.
The only thing that was done well was the Sacred Bible of Life that the players had refurbished.
In fact, it wasn't just the Church. The elven social organization was the same. It was now in a rather loose and chaotic state.
That was to say, with Fei Lengcui, Kainolan, and other cities as the center, they formed settlements that resembled city-states. The daily management was handled by the Church or senior elven elders, and they didn't form a powerful political entity like a country at all.
The reason for this situation was that there were too few elves in the past. They had neither the ability nor the need to form a perfect Church organization and administrative structure. On the other hand, the appearance of the players had completely changed the social order and ecology of the Elven Forest …
When the number of Elves was low and the scale of the players was small, a simple church organization and administrative structure could maintain the operation of the entire Elven Forest. However, as the number of Elves and the number of players increased, it gradually became a little difficult to keep the Elven Forest running.
It was the same when the City of Heaven's Chosen exceeded the capacity of its population.
Eve opened the construction of the new city to the players not only because the City of Heaven's Chosen's production capacity was limited, but also because the current Church management couldn't handle it. She needed the players to spread their branches and spontaneously form a new management organization …
After thinking through everything, Eve said, "You're right.
You're saying that we need to appoint a High Priest and further perfect the Church structure? "
"That's right. That's what I want to say, and I think you're definitely up to the task."
Alice replied.
Me?
Forget it. I just want to slack off.
Eve complained in her heart.
She pondered for a moment and said,
"The Life Church does need to be reformed, but I have no intention of becoming the Head Priest."
"Why?"
Alice asked.
"Lazy."
Eve's words were concise.
Alice was speechless.
This … really left him speechless.
After a short pause, Eve spoke again.
"What do you think of Celestial?"
"Celestial?"
Alice was slightly taken aback.
She hesitated for a moment before saying,
"His Excellency Celestial Dil has been too close to many female Chosen Ones recently. There seems to be some subtle rumors about him in the clan …"
After she finished speaking, she lowered her head again and said with some self-reproach,
"It's all my fault. I didn't teach him well. He seems to have been taught some strange knowledge by the Chosen One …"
After hearing Alice's words, Eve had a strange expression on her face.
She also thought of the scene where she saw a group of female players serving him when she delivered the oracle to a certain First Elf.
That guy … seemed to have been raised astray.
His ability wasn't bad, but he didn't seem like a traditional Elf. Instead, he was more like a Black Dragon wearing Elf skin.
If Eve hadn't eliminated his GHS ability in the first batch of players, this guy might have started a harem among the players …
In a sense, it was quite unsightly.
After all, he wasn't a human but an Elf.
He probably had to thank the NPC protection mechanism for not being beaten by the male players.
Letting this guy become the Head Priest, even if he had the ability, he would have to think twice.
Celestial Dil wouldn't do. Eve pondered for a moment, and another name appeared in her mind.
"What do you think of Tyler?"
"Tyler?"
Alice was slightly taken aback.
However, she quickly remembered who Eve was talking about.
Tyler Rocksand.
The first Elf to purify his bloodline from the Orloss Demiplane. He was also the first batch of Life Priests from the Orloss Demiplane.
His faith was extremely devout, and he was a fanatic of the Goddess. At the same time, he didn't have the stubborn way of thinking of traditional Elves.
Not only that, although he was an Elf from the Demiplane, he was extremely passionate about Elven culture. After purifying his bloodline, he quickly got along well with the Elves from the Segers Demiplane.
Now, he was the Head Priest of the Life Church in the Orloss Demiplane. Moreover, he managed the Life Church in the Orloss Demiplane in an orderly manner. Surprisingly, he was a natural talent in management.
Alice's heart thumped when she thought of this.
The most important thing for a religious leader of a church was to have outstanding management ability.
The candidate that Lord Zero had proposed was indeed not bad.
If there were any shortcomings, it would be that his foundation was still too weak, and his reputation was insufficient.
As for becoming the Head Priest, he also needed to have a certain amount of reputation. Only then would he be able to convince the masses.
"Tyler is indeed not bad, but his reputation in the clan isn't enough to become a religious leader. Moreover, his strength is somewhat lacking."
Alice thought for a moment and said.
Although Tyler's strength had greatly increased after becoming a true Elf, he had yet to reach the Silver rank.
And among the Elves of the Elven Forest, there were already quite a few Silver rank Elves.
"His reputation and strength aren't an issue. As long as the True God approves, everything can be resolved. We only need to inform the True God of the candidate, and the rest will be up to the True God to decide."
Eve said.
Alice stared blankly for a moment before nodding.
"Indeed. If the True God approves, this won't be a problem."
The more Eve thought about it, the more she felt that Tyler wasn't bad. At this moment, she had pretty much decided on him in her heart.
However, only the kind and pure Elves could do that.
If it was any other intelligent race, an 'outsider' like Tyler wouldn't be accepted as a religious leader.
"Then Tyler it is. I will report this matter to the Goddess, and the rest will be up to her."
Eve said.
Alice didn't have any objections.
The Saintess of Life thought for a moment and said.
"In addition, I think the former system of the Druidic Order is no longer suitable for the current Elven Forest. The appearance of the Chosen has changed the composition of the Druidic Order. If we carry out a reform of the Druidic Order, I think we should explore a new system that is suitable for ordinary Elves and the Chosen."
"The Chosen are very capable. I think we can summon the Chosen in the form of issuing missions like before. We can optimize the existing model on the basis of our existing Druidic Order."
Eve nodded in agreement. At the same time, she secretly thought that Alice's way of speaking was becoming more and more Bluestar.
"Letting the Chosen participate is indeed a good idea. The [Holy Bible of Life] from before was good, but this matter still needs to be reported to the Goddess. Only the Goddess can maximize the enthusiasm of the Chosen."
Eve said.
"I think so too."
Alice smiled sweetly.
Eve nodded and said, "That's it.
The second matter is settled. As for establishing a country … our current population is actually far from enough, but we can consider it in advance. "
Eve would purify all the mixed-blood Elven humans in the Orloss Demiplane sooner or later. The speed would only get faster and faster. Therefore, although the Elven population wasn't considered large now, it would definitely increase explosively in the future.
Under ideal circumstances, it would even reach nearly three million.
As for the players, it would be even more.
In Eve's view, the players could also be counted as a population.
"Elven Kingdom" was running well in Bluestar. She had already planned to run it for a long time. She was even prepared to pull the souls of the players who were willing to reincarnate to another world into the World of Segers after they died and become real Elves.
Of course, the hundreds of thousands of players in Bluestar hadn't died yet. As for whether the players would retain their memories after they died, and whether there would be additional restrictions if they retained their memories, that was another matter.
However, one thing was certain. With the development of the Elven Forest and Celestial's growth, Eve felt that if the Elves really wanted to restore their country, they didn't need to establish a "kingdom" like before.
In history, the Elven Kingdom was established by the Elven royal family. It was centered around royalty. First, there was the Elven Kingdom. Then, there was the Druidic Order, which spontaneously believed in the World Tree. It was recognized by the previous Druidic Order, which eventually formed the well-known Elven civilization.
However, the current situation was different from before.
Religion and royalty had always been opposing and clashing.
Eve didn't think too deeply about it before, but now that she thought about it, it was actually best for a true God to have a free country.
Of course, this wasn't absolute.
Just like the human world, there were many gods and churches. It was impossible for the entire race to have a free country.
Even if there was one, it would only be a small human country.
However, the Elves only believed in one true God, Eve.
This was the best soil for a free country!
Not only that, but when Eve connected the game system with the faith network, the free country system would also be beneficial for her to control the players better.
Of course, all of this could only be considered after the church system was perfected.
Thinking of this, Eve said, "Build a country first.
Let's complete the reformation of the church first. When the population increases, we'll pray to Her Holiness and ask for an oracle. "
