As soon as Danny told Bu Tian about the plan of the "Seven Gods Sect", the president of the Necromancer Association understood her plan — to obtain the power of faith.
Well, Bu Tian was not right.
Blackie had already occupied the Faith Pool of the Seven Gods.
Of course, Danny longed for the power of faith, but her most important task now was to usurp the priesthood of the Seven Gods!
Very few people in this world knew about the secrets of the priesthood of the gods in the supernatural world.
Even those gods who had become true gods and demigods did not have the concept of priesthood, and only regarded the special power given by the priesthood as a higher level of divine power.
The Fire God should have a strong ability to control fire, the Inami should be able to control the sea better than other gods, and the Storm God should have a stronger ability to control the storm …
Priesthood or not, these abilities were natural, or else why would they be called "Fire God", "Inami", and "Storm God"?
In a sense, this idea was not wrong, the priesthood was a kind of converter, transforming the power of faith into divine power for special purposes.
Knowing the theory of the priesthood had no effect on the gods.
Especially the demigods, they acted by instinct, and did not need a complete theory of the gods.
It was not that the demigods were stupid, but the law of the world: ordinary people could not become true gods step by step through cultivation.
If there were no dragons, what was the point of cultivating dragon slaying skills?
If one could not become a true god, what was the point of studying the theory of becoming a god?
The Big Sparrow was a Muggle, and did not know the secrets of the gods, he did not expect "Saint Danny" to be so bold as to attempt to usurp the position of the Seven Gods.
That was the Seven Gods!
The Big Sparrow sincerely believed in the Seven Gods, and never doubted the authenticity of the Seven Gods.
So, he considered the problem from the perspective of whether this would go against the doctrine of the Seven Gods; if not, how would this benefit the development of the Seven Gods Sect; if it was good for the church, what would he, as the archbishop, gain from it?
Well, the Big Sparrow's thinking was clear and simple: first, it did not go against the doctrine of the Seven Gods; second, it was good for the church; third, he could also gain from it.
He never worried about the faith of the Seven Gods being usurped by other gods.
The Seven Gods were real, the number one in the Seven Gods World, who could take away the faith of the Seven Gods?
Even if there was a supernatural who reminded him, he would still answer.
In fact, someone had warned him.
He was Cersei's number one lackey, the new Chief of Intelligence who replaced Varys, 'Spellcaster Scholar' Cabourn.
After Big Black accepted the baptism of the Great Sparrow and became an official Great Guardian of the Seven Gods, the sparrows began to break ground in the Great Cathedral of Baylor to build a statue of the Great Guardian of Light.
At that time, Cabourn found the big sparrow and told him, "Since ancient times, I've never heard of a Megalosaurus being so intelligent and able to speak human language.
That night in Braavos proved the strength of the Black Dragon.
So, I guess he has the potential to become a Demigod.
Now, make him the Great Guardian and erect a statue for him. When the believers start praying to the statue, it is very likely that it will help him become a demigod and even divert the power of faith from the Seven Gods. "
Cabourn also knew that the Seven Gods were seven pieces of wood, but he didn't dare to say it in front of the Holy Son.
Moreover, he thought that without a god to absorb it, the power of faith delivered by the believers would disappear. He didn't think that Dahei could inherit the "vast wealth" of the seven gods.
"The Seven Gods are supreme. There's nothing wrong with having a Demigod Black Dragon as a Great Guardian. It's just like the king has the Kingsguard. The Kingsguard protects the king, and the king grants them glory and power, "the big sparrow said lightly.
In his heart, however, he was thinking, 'This rotten old man is very bad. Seeing the Black Dragon join the church and countless good men and women follow, becoming believers and the church's armed forces, the Iron Throne can't help but want to destroy my relationship with the Black Dragon and the Mother of Dragons!'
The big sparrow didn't wrongly accuse Cabourn.
Although most of what the Spellcaster Scholar said was true, his purpose wasn't simple.
Because the Black Dragon becoming a Great Guardian of the church had a great influence and set off a storm in the Seven Kingdoms. Countless productive knights even donated their land to the church and joined the church themselves, becoming the Children of War.
Cabourn received the order from Prince Regent Kevon to stop the Black Dragon statue from being built.
After the statue was built, the Dragon Queen sent a letter, suggesting that the Megalosaurus become the "Hand of the Seven Gods", just like the king had the Hand of the King.
This was too unorthodox.
It was also not in line with the big sparrow's "simple world view".
Therefore, on the surface, he promised the queen that he would seek the guidance of the wise old woman, but in fact, he never went to the statue of the Seven Gods to abstain from food and pray.
He fooled the Dragon Queen.
The Black Dragon Guardian's effect was too good and too powerful. He didn't want to destroy his friendship with the queen because his rejection was too direct and too blunt. Recently, he was judging Queen Margaery and was under a lot of pressure.
Even later, like how a certain coffee company fooled the investors in America, the Dragon Queen used the data of "opening shops" crazily in Barren Land (one hundred Seven God Temples) to tempt the big sparrow to "invest" (adjust the doctrine of the Seven Gods and the statue).
The archbishop could only sigh: Saint Danny was indeed Saint Danny. She was very aggressive and capable. Not only did she let the Church of the Seven Gods in Slave Bay gain a foothold, but she also went to Barren Land, which was full of evil cults, to "open branches".
Of course, the "Church of the Seven Gods" in Barren Land also made him more aware of the power and influence of the Megalosaurus.
If there was a gray plague in Westeros at this time and they had to rely on the Megalosaurus to save lives, the big sparrow might really agree with the Dragon Queen's suggestion.
He was devout in his beliefs, but he was not rigid in his thinking.
He knew how to compromise and judge the situation.
If it was not necessary, he would not change the doctrine in a short time.
Then, the "necessary" came.
Sam lost the Deviant Ghost baby. Danny said that she did not care, and indeed did not have the time to care, but in the process of sending Blackie to pick up the three shapeshifters, she also picked up a Corpse Ghost and threw it in the Great Cathedral of Baylor.
Well, there were no deviant ghost captives at the Great Wall, but there were more than a dozen Corpse Ghosts.
The first time he saw a Corpse Ghost, the big sparrow almost had a mental breakdown.
Especially after the limbs were cut off with a sword, those limbs could still crawl. That kind of scalp-numbing scene immediately woke the big sparrow up from the game of power. Maybe the Dragon Queen was not crazy, maybe the long night was real.
Then, he decided …
Uh, it was not to contact the Dragon Queen, nor to gather the believers and issue a "Holy War Declaration" against the Deviant Ghosts, nor to change the doctrine and recast the statues of the Seven Gods according to the Dragon Queen's plan.
He decided to abstain from food and pray!
A true abstention from food and prayer, only drinking a small bowl of rice soup every day, hanging on to his last breath, kneeling in front of the statue of the Great Cathedral without sleep, and maybe he would doze off while kneeling.
The big sparrow prayed to every god in the Great Cathedral, starting from the old woman, the Holy Father, the Holy Mother … Finally, he was hungry and tired, and in a daze, he prayed to Blackie.
The big sparrow was the Holy Son, and his piety was very high. Blackie immediately sensed it.
With the intelligence of a ten-year-old child, Blackie also understood that Danny had been waiting for this moment.
So, without any hesitation, he took the initiative to pull Danny's dragon spirit, and through the line of faith between the big sparrow and the statue, his consciousness descended into the Great Cathedral.
The Great Cathedral of Baylor, with a dome made of glass, gold, and crystal, a white marble floor, and huge windows on the wall, embedded with colored lead glass.
The Seven Gods, the Seven Altars, and in front of the altars, there were hundreds and thousands of candles lit by believers.
The big sparrow knelt in front of the statue of the old woman holding a golden lamp, the light of the candles illuminating his pale and dazed thin face.
"… Guide me, wise old woman. Use your golden lamp that can predict fate to dispel the darkness in front of me and guide me onto the right path … Great Guardian of Light, can your flaming sword defeat the demons of the north … Great warrior, please bestow upon me strength …"
Following the line of faith, Danny could feel the big sparrow's feelings at the moment: hesitation, helplessness, but also piety and perseverance.
He firmly believed that the Seven Gods would give him guidance.
Without the Seven Gods' guidance, the big sparrow would not end this fasting prayer.
Under normal circumstances, he could achieve his wish.
As long as he was hungry for a long time, tired, hungry, and on the verge of death, even the most strong-willed person would have hallucinations.
Just like the little girl selling matches, she saw everything she wanted to see in the winter snow.
But this time was different, the big sparrow had "only" fasted for a week, and the Seven Gods had given him a response.
"Child, don't be hesitant," a gentle voice said.
"Old woman …" The big sparrow was dazed for a moment, and saw a woman in a white robe, white dress, and white headscarf appear in front of him.
She was half floating in the air, the lower half of her body shrouded in white mist.
She had a kind face, and her face was extremely beautiful, and also extremely gentle.
Even the holy and majestic aura she exuded could not stop others from getting close to her.
"Holy Mother? You're the Holy Mother! Holy Mother is merciful! "The big sparrow cried out.
Strangely, there was an additional person in front of him, and her voice was so loud, but no cultivator was alarmed.
"Hehe …" The woman covered her mouth, and her laughter was crisp with a hint of naughtiness.
The big sparrow was shocked, and raised his head. When he looked again, the kind-looking woman in the white dress had turned into a delicate and cute girl.
The girl's hair was decorated with green roses, tulips, and camellias. She wore a simple blue pleated skirt, and her hands were behind her back. She bent over and looked at him with a smile.
"Ah, girl!" The big sparrow bowed again.
"Child, do you have a lot of questions in your mind?"
The voice changed again, and the girl turned into a kind old woman carrying a golden lamp.
This time, the big sparrow who was familiar with the scriptures of the Seven Gods was no longer surprised. He knew that the Seven Gods were one, and the girl, the Holy Mother, and the old woman were all the same God.
"Old woman, I need your guidance," the big sparrow said sincerely.
At this time, the shadow of the Corpse Ghost appeared in his heart, and through the Thread of Faith, Danny immediately captured his thoughts.
The old woman said softly, "I see all the doubts in your heart. Yes, the deviant ghosts are real, and the long night is coming, this is an unprecedented disaster for mankind. "
"Then, what should I do?"
— — The big sparrow was terrified, and he thought of the matter of him and the Black Dragon creating the "Holy Son of Light".
As soon as the thought appeared, it was sensed.
The old woman turned into a girl, bent down, and touched the big sparrow's forehead with a gentle finger.
"Hehehe, you are very devout, and completely qualified to be the Holy Son. It's just that there was no Great Guardian before, so it was difficult for me to project my divine power into reality, "the girl said with a smile.
The big sparrow was relieved, but at the same time, he had countless questions.
In the past, when he communicated with the Seven Gods, he could also see the Seven Gods (Danny: Are you sure?). But it was not as clear as today, and often after he got the answer, the descent of the gods would end.
This time, he must seize the opportunity to ask the Seven Gods about the unsolved doctrines.
