Type 1.
No matter if it was Aishi or Ansorenne, the major churches were all run like corporations, and corporations were all profit-seeking organizations.
Compared to the traditional churches, Ansorenne's New Gods' churches and descenders didn't go around preaching, nor did they talk about the greatness of the Gods or their own teachings.
Most of the time, they appeared as businessmen, discussing benefits as salespeople, and coming up with the final decision through calculations …. Even they themselves had to check their attendance and make a profit for every important decision they made, so they didn't have much interest or the mood to talk about grand principles.
If life could be traded, it would probably be the rarest and most expensive commodity.
Rorschach knew that magic wasn't a panacea. Even seemingly miraculous magic had a corresponding price.
In some worlds, something that could restore one's youth could probably be exchanged for a city or even the status of a prince from the king or domain lord. Even in Aishi, since the wood spirits were far too advanced in the field of biological engineering, it was still a precious item that couldn't be bought with money.
A local product that was so cheap that it could become a precious foreign product after crossing the ocean. Rorschach recalled that the Spring of Youth was a super precious product of the wood spirits. Plus, the "transportation" from Aishi to here, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was priceless.
For the Gods, divine power was both strength and life force. It was also a staircase to higher levels. No matter how much divine power they had, they wouldn't dislike it, not to mention giving it to unimportant people.
God's Children, God's Chosen, God's Favored, God's Chosen, and other job classes that relied on divine power were all rare and powerful. The advantage was that there was no limit to how much divine power they could have and how ridiculously fast they could grow. The disadvantage was that there was no limit to how much divine power they could have.
That limit depended on how much divine power the Gods were willing to give you.
Which of the New Gods didn't want to have large numbers of elite descenders and warriors? Nobody had ever used the method of bestowing divine power to create them. This wasn't only because the job classes with divine power were overly reliant on the Gods, but more importantly, it wasn't a good deal at all.
If it could be calculated in terms of quantity, the resources that were exchanged for divine power could be used to nurture a warrior with a combat strength of 10. Then, the warrior that was directly bestowed with divine power would probably not even reach 1. After all, other people's things had to be discounted. In the end, people still had to rely on themselves.
Moreover, unlike clergies who had their own path of cultivation, these things that were forcibly injected were difficult to digest. If that person reached a certain height, it would easily become a bottleneck in their growth.
Moreover, once the Divine Pulse Holder was taken away by the enemy, the enemy Gods could use him to analyze the nature of the Divine Power and Divine Position. They could even use him as a ladder to seize the Divine Position. This was undoubtedly a huge hidden danger.
That was the most terrible thing. Even a god would not want to suddenly have a weakness.
Generally speaking, only the so-called God's descendants (the Gods' aunts and uncles) would be able to enjoy this kind of VIP service, which wasn't worth it at all. Furthermore, they had caused quite a lot of trouble throughout history, and many True Gods had died because of this.
Therefore, even though Rorschach was also a god's descendant and could accept Lori's divine power at an astonishing rate due to their twin bloodlines, he still didn't have any plans to become a Divine Pulse User or a Divine Power User.
He had only heard of such a special person, but had never seen one before.
But now, there was not only one in front of him, but she was also alive and kicking.
The powerful divine power forcefully reversed the traces of time. The feeling that Marsha gave Rorschach had already surpassed that of an ordinary sixth-step Professional.
Strong, very strong, irresistible strong. If it wasn't because Marsha was too outrageous when she was young, then it was because the Eagle's Crown was bestowed with divine power by the standard of a God's Child.
Rorschach knew that Elder Marsha had nothing to do with the Eagle's Crown. What value did she have that the Eagle's Crown would pay such a huge price for her?
One had to know that even the creation of a God's Child had to start from a young age. Forcibly injecting divine power into an old person who was on the verge of death was already not one in ten, but one in a hundred.
Was her knowledge and experience really worth this price? Was it worth it for the Eagle's Crown to pay such a huge price to forcibly bring her into the Church?
Rorschach felt that it wasn't worth it. After all, the Game Church had obtained a lot from this old person before. She had never left the wasteland with people and knew nothing about the deeper regions. And those deeper regions were the treasures that attracted the big fish.
And even if it was for the experience, was there a need to give her divine power? Could it be that they expected this old person to go to the battlefield?
No matter what, some things that left could never come back. One's appearance could become relatively younger, but could one use divine power to make up for the loss of mental strength, concentration, reflexes, and stamina?
As a professional Warrior, having a serious shortcoming in any aspect was unacceptable.
Rorschach was very curious, so he asked directly.
"Are you sure I should say it now?"
Marsha smiled, but her eyes slanted to the side. That was the gaze of the others to Rorschach.
Rorschach shrugged. He had already become the connection point for information exchange, and there were no more secrets. Moreover, he already knew that someone was watching him.
"If you can't say it, someone will come to stop you."
After hesitating for a moment, Marsha still said it.
"Actually, what they value is my 'Holy Spell'. Or to put it in a way that you would describe it — magical engineering and magic, and my Smoke Magic."
After the team entered the station, they naturally dispersed.
Rorschach was arranged in a room that was spacious enough to play football. In the end, he chose to return to the cabin on the ship because he wasn't used to living there and "always felt that someone was watching him".
But this reason was obviously nonsense (complete nonsense). After all, as long as Lori wanted to find him, he would always be watched.
What really made Rorschach decide to find a private territory was that he had obtained a lot from Old Marsha.
In legends, it was common for epic heroes to inexplicably pick up treasures from small vendors when they were young. Although it was logically reasonable, from another point of view, if such a situation really happened, it was possible that the treasures and artifacts themselves were too sloppy, and the vendors were too inexperienced, so they directly sold them as trash.
Not long ago, Rorschach and the Game Church played the role of a blind and shallow vendor. They only stared at Marsha's political position and missed the real treasure.
