At first, Hao Ren did not know what was going on. After a few seconds, he suddenly realized who the 'creator of the planet' Vimm was talking about was. It was none other than the neurotic with a five-digit income!
"You mean these people are..." Hao Ren's face was stiff. He pointed to the balcony and did not know how to describe it. "They believe in Raven 12345?"
Vimm laughed. "Can't I? Is there a god in this world who is not willing to let people follow her? "
Hao Ren did not know whether to laugh or cry. He remembered that Raven 12345 was indeed a goddess. Not only was she certified, but she also had hundreds of millions of believers in the universe. The last time he met her, the neurotic goddess was congratulating her believers for the new year. But knowing it was one thing, seeing it with his own eyes was another. Looking at the scene below the balcony, Hao Ren could not relate it to the crazy psychopath in his memory. How could anyone believe that?!
"Aren't you guys busy now?" Hao Ren thought for a moment and swallowed his disrespectful thoughts. After all, Vimm was his boss, and he had to protect her image. Anyway, Hao Ren was still a pope. But he did not understand. "Why do you have the time to do this?"
"It's incredible. As a member of the Divine Faction, you have no idea about this." Vimm looked at Hao Ren in surprise. "Of course, it is necessary. And it is the most important part in the process of rebuilding social order."
Looking at Hao Ren's confused expression, Vimm smiled and explained, "In most cases, intellectual creatures are controlled by their own emotions. People's hearts and morale are things that can't be seen or touched, but they can almost affect the fate of an entire race. Our people are developing a new home in this new world. They are currently immersed in the continuous surprises brought by the new continent, but there are more difficulties and obstacles. Exploring a new continent on a barren planet is not easy work. So we need to maintain people's hearts and morale, so that they can divert their attention from temporary difficulties and pain.
"We need spiritual power, including entertainment, systematic education, political calls, heroes, and of course, religion. Among all these options, religion is the lowest cost at this stage.
"This planet is created by God — everyone knows it, so we do not need any extra cost to prove and promote the existence of God. We can promote a new god to the whole society almost at zero cost. The only cost after that is to invest manpower to improve the cohesion of the people under this new religion. This is' cheaper 'than creating a hundred heroes or any form of education and psychological treatment. It is also easier than reshaping the entertainment industry. "
Hao Ren nodded, not really understanding. He knew that it was not only the political considerations of the Aerymian rulers, but also some cultural differences. Religious beliefs were not necessarily a symbol of ignorance. In many cases, a highly developed civilization would still believe in a god. Not to mention, Raven 12345 was a real goddess. Moreover, the belief of the Aerymian elves was very reasonable: they were standing on the land created by the goddess.
"Actually, we are also considering whether to ask for your help." Vimm smiled and glanced at Hao Ren. The latter was stunned. "Huh? What do you want from me? "
"Have you really forgotten who you are?" This time, it was Vimm's turn to be dumbfounded. "Mother told me that according to your position, you are the pope. Isn't it normal for us to ask you to make a model Bible for our religion?"
Hao Ren was stunned when he heard this. He had never thought about this. "Model Bible? How would I know that? "
Vimm was excited to see Hao Ren's reaction. He smiled brightly and said, "We really need you to do it. We're doing it on our own. Even the goddess doesn't know what's going on here. How can we do that? We were waiting for the early stage of the promotion to have a prototype of the religious system before asking you to help us establish contact with the goddess. Since you are here today, why don't we settle this matter? "
Just as Hao Ren was about to wave his hand, Lily suddenly pounced on him from behind. "Hey, Mr. Landlord, this sounds interesting!"
The girl also felt bored in the house and came out. Apparently, she had listened in on the conversation between Vimm and Hao Ren.
Hao Ren pressed Lily's head down and said, "Don't be silly. I have never done this before! Don't you know that I have to rely on commas to write a work report of 800 words? "
Lily smiled brightly and said, "Why are you thinking so much? I just want you to think of a few words for the promotion! Just think of it as an advertising slogan. "
Hao Ren rolled his eyes and said, "What I want is the model Bible!"
Vimm saw that Hao Ren was in a dilemma and finally stopped teasing him. He said, "Alright, let's stop joking. We are compiling the model Bible. When the time comes, the goddess will probably review it herself. Can you help think of a common prayer? Which one should we use for daily communication and for spreading influence? No matter how you look at it, this should be something that you, the 'sidekick', should do. "
Lily added, "It's the advertising slogan! For promotion purposes! "
Hao Ren did not know whether to laugh or cry. He never thought that one day he would have to seriously consider this kind of problem. He reluctantly held it in for a while and tentatively looked up and said, "Since it's free, I will believe it a little."
Vimm said, "... Are you serious?"
"Forget it. I will discuss it with the higher-ups." Hao Ren laughed awkwardly and picked up Raven 12345's phone.
"What's up?" Raven 12345's way of greeting was as bold as ever.
"It's like this. The Aerymian elves have started to build their infrastructure. They think they should make the creator of their planet, that is, you, their new god. They want me to ask about the corporate culture of our company..."
Hao Ren briefly explained the situation of the Aerymian elves. He felt that even if Raven 12345 was usually not interested in preaching, she should take it seriously this time. After all, this was her daily job. Although the Xi Ling Celestials did not take faith as the main principle, it was inevitable that she would become a true god.
However, Raven 12345 answered without hesitation, "Tell them that the code is' Since it's free, believe it a little '."
Hao Ren said, "... Are you serious?"
Raven 12345 said matter-of-factly, "Yes, it's universal. Those who believe in me know. By the way, remind them that they can use this as a slogan when they meet other civilisations in the future. Once they say it, they are all on the same side... "
Hao Ren hung up with Raven 12345 and turned to hold Vimm's hand. "Big brother, let me give you a piece of advice: if you really want to unite around the boss of the universe, you'd better start by shaping your worldview..."
Vimm: "?"
When Vimm was completely dumbfounded, Hao Ren left the balcony. The MDT, which had been silent all this while, suddenly sighed and said, "I know why Madam Raven found you to be her assistant. You two are so in tune."
Hao Ren regretted that he was in tune with a psychopath...
Two days later, the promised three million armed security guards were assembled. The day of departure had arrived.
Hao Ren reported the progress to Raven 12345. Hao Ren's idea of "armed escort" was highly praised by the goddess, and she praised that Hao Ren was quite smart. After that, they discussed how to send thousands of spaceships to Y'zaks' homeworld.
The Aerymian elves, of course, did not have the ability to travel across worlds. With their current strength, they could not even fly to the World Gate. Their spaceships could only be used to bully the bumpkins in the atmosphere. So, Hao Ren needed to open a temporary World Gate above the orbit of Peatopia, and the other end of the World Gate would be at the edge of Y'zaks' homeworld bubble zone.
After that, the elven fleet would sail to the Second Demonic Plane in the bubble zone, where they would meet up with Y'zaks and fight their way out.
As for the route in the bubble zone, it was not a problem: the Petrachelys would use the advanced space-time radar to scan a route. Speaking of which, if Y'zaks had this route, he might have flown out of the bubble zone... Forget it, probably not. Even if he had the route, he did not have a spaceship...
In any case, it would be a very "lively" journey.
