Everyone looked at each other. Good lord, the Gaia Church had already built a society with faith at its core.
Boiling water required faith, running the air conditioner required faith, lighting the lights required faith, using computers required faith, and even locking the door required faith.
Apart from that, exchanging for daily necessities and building a house required faith from the church.
Assuming that the minimum daily contribution of faith for a citizen was a hundred, this hundred could barely sustain a family.
Citizens would receive necessities based on their faith contribution. A hundred was the lowest level of citizen. They could only receive a few kilograms of food, half a ton of water, sugar, salt, and a small amount of vegetables.
And those who could pray to hundreds, thousands, or even thousands of believers every day were naturally filthy rich.
Do not underestimate this citizen minimum. The reason why many people could not reach it was not because they had any issues with the gods, but because the requirements were very high.
They had to be extremely pious. Those who could not reach it were not pious, but they were not fanatical enough.
Those who were not fanatical enough could only spend a large amount of time praying every day to make up for it.
Those who barely reached it would basically contribute their daily faith in exchange for basic necessities and citizenship. They would not be able to maintain the air conditioner statue, electric light statue, or water heater statue at home.
As long as Mo Qiong and the others saw a family that did not have lights or air conditioners, it basically meant that the other party was a citizen on the poverty line.
As for Andy's house, it was not bad to have the air conditioner on all the time.
As for those who could not reach the faith standard by sleeping only a few hours a day, they could only participate in manual labor.
The entire society revolved around faith.
Pariahs wanted to become citizens, citizens wanted to become wealthy citizens, and wealthy citizens wanted to live a better life. As for the most pious people, they would become priests or other clergy in the church district.
Those who were capable would go up, and those who were not would go down. The path to ascension was clear and fair.
Even the children of bishops would be pariahs after reaching fifteen years of age if they were not pious.
It had to be said that faith could really maintain social stability and unite people.
Especially when they believed to such an extent, their piety was equivalent to a saint when compared to the religion of God on the surface.
This was because the entire atmosphere of society was like that. The entire way of life was like that. The entire human heart and education environment was like that.
Under this system, it was equivalent to everyone brainwashing themselves. In order to live a better life, they were used to believing in the gods. They were used to believing that everything was given to them by the gods. They were used to humans using their humble and pious hearts to exchange for everything they wanted.
From a young age, he had trained his ability to worship God, pray, and be superstitious.
In the end, it became an animal of faith that believed when it walked, when it sat, when it lay down, when it drank, when it pecked, when it moved, when it moved, when it smiled, when it frowned.
And according to the teachings, whether it was the God of Light, the God of Air Conditioning, or even all living things and anomalies, they were all created by Gaia.
Therefore, believing in them was also believing in Gaia. When praying, one had to pay respect and pray to Mother Gaia.
It was just that Mother Goddess Gaia did not need the substantial power of faith from people. However, in the prayers to the various gods, people had instinctively placed Gaia in a higher and more transcendent position, engraving it in their hearts.
Firm as a saint.
This was the brilliance of the Gaia Church. Without the existence of artificial Gods, faith was probably the currency here as well.
And now, with the anomaly of a man-made god, the cohesion of the church's people had increased to an epic level.
As such, the Gaia Church did not mind citizens connecting to the surface's internet. They had the ability to allow citizens to observe the surface's society.
Because the citizens could not be corrupted by life on the surface.
Movie? TV series? Books? They could also watch from underground.
Tall mountains, flowing water, waterfalls, and many other natural sceneries. If one wanted to experience it personally, they could apply for a transfer and be sent to the surface to work.
The people here did not envy the life of the people on the surface. They even felt that most of the people on the surface were lowly people, bad people, chaotic and filled with evil intentions.
The people on the surface were blinded and the truth was hidden from them. They did not know the origin of mankind, did not know the greatness of the ancient gods, and believed in fake gods. They worked hard and chased after the benefits of the chaotic world, bewitching people's hearts.
The human heart was like a demon, terrifying and detestable.
As for the citizens, they only needed to pray to the gods.
They were working hard to save the gods betrayed by the traitors, atoning for the sins of mankind, and finding the truth for those ignorant people.
The faith that the citizens accumulated bit by bit would one day be used by the church to reveal the truth that had been hidden for thousands of years and to welcome the descent of the gods.
At that time, all the hard work of their generations would bloom on that day, welcoming the forgiveness of the gods, allowing the world to return to the Garden of Eden era.
"Hehe, the Garden of Eden enslaved by the gods …"
Mo Qiong and the others, on the surface, had a look of approval, but in their hearts, they despised him.
Lan Baishe was indeed hiding the so-called truth. The matter of humans being created by the ancient gods was true, and because it was true, it had to be hidden even more.
This was because the development of human society did not need to know that humans were created by the gods. It was enough for a small group of rational people to know. If everyone knew, it would only bring chaos and madness.
With regards to the rebellion of the ancestors, the descendants enjoyed the rest of the shade and did not have the right to comment.
As the people who lived until today because of their ancestors, what right did they have to determine that their rebellion was a sin? Atoning for their sins and praying for the forgiveness of the gods?
This was a matter of position, and there was no need to discuss whether it was right or wrong.
Just like today, Lan Baishe used medicine to create the smart mice, and also started to use the smart mice clan as D-class personnel.
Although only a portion of the smart mice were D-class personnel, and most of the D-class personnel were still held by human death row prisoners, this was because many of the contained smart mice could not be verified.
If the smart mice could completely replace humans, then Lan Baishe would really do the same thing as the ancient gods, at most a little better than the ancient gods …
Perhaps one day, humans would also be overthrown by the smart mice.
But Lan Baishe did not feel that in such a future, the so-called rebellious mice would be sinful.
It could only be said that a new era had arrived, and humans had been eliminated. Their skills were inferior to the mice.
At the same time, if the ancient gods were strong enough, they could break through the seal and kill their way out, and humans could fight to the death. The ancient gods were unwilling, and humans were unwilling to compromise. This was a matter of opposing positions.
But if humans themselves went against the collective interests and wanted to push humans back into the abyss, then there was no doubt that this was a sin.
The so-called sin only existed when the same race made different choices and recognized each other.
Lan Baishe believed that they should continue the path of their ancestors, while Gaia Church believed that humans should return to divine authority. The two had an irreconcilable contradiction.
Only the losers would be automatically judged as sinners that were not part of the human community.
"The situation is basically like this. Little brat doesn't know much, but what is certain is that Gaia Church is preparing a big move!" Gou Ye said through spiritual energy.
Mo Qiong said: "The reason why Gaia Church hasn't launched an all-out attack on our Deep Sea Prison is because they are accumulating strength. Once they make a move, they will definitely win"
"These fake gods are all derivatives, and that anomaly should be able to use the power of faith stored in the public" Wu Yunmo said.
Mo Qiong looked at the god's portrait on the door and said: "Ignoring everything else, just this electronic lock alone has endless uses. There are only two ways to break this lock"
"Know the password, or be more devout than the person who locked it"
Knowing the password was like opening the lock with a key. Being more devout than the person who locked it was like having a better lock picking skill than a locksmith.
Gou Ye chuckled: "The other way is to directly blow up the door"
The electronic lock only protected the 'lock'. As for the material of the door itself, if it could be blown open, then it didn't matter.
Catherine said, "The gods that have already been exposed are all okay. The Air Conditioner God, at most, has a strong heating or cooling effect under the huge power of faith. At most, it can attack with cold air."
Mo Qiong frowned: "But considering that they are derivatives … … if there is no upper limit to their power, Gaia Church should have enough faith to freeze the ocean, right?"
Catherine fell into deep thought, then said: "That makes sense. In the same way, as long as the electric lamp god has enough faith, it can also release a terrifying light that can illuminate the entire hemisphere"
Everyone was thinking, Gaia Church has been preparing a big move, so the amount of faith they have is probably an astronomical number.
And this is only one of the anomalies, they might have even more up their sleeves.
"We need to find out their trump cards one by one" Wu Yunmo said.
Mo Qiong looked outside the window at the church district with countless churches and said: "We need to find a way to sneak in, but with our level of devout … …"
Sneaking in wasn't safe, Gaia Church once dominated the world at the end of the 19th century, almost equivalent to the current Blue and White Society. If the Blue and White Society could get their hands on Hawkeye technology from the Assassins, then they must have it too.
"The Society does have a 'surface worship' anomaly. I wonder if it can help us infiltrate the Church "Catherine said.
"You mean that Alpha anomaly? That won't work, right? That thing is a scam, it shouldn't be able to produce any substantial faith "Wu Yunmo said.
Mo Qiong asked: "What's the effect?"
Wu Yunmo said: "A firm belief in anything in your heart will be treated as the same as your own faith in the eyes of others. In other words, if you have a firm belief in 'communism' in your heart, in the eyes of those who believe in God, you will be a firm Foundation God "
"Right, we don't have any faith"
Wu Yunmo looked at Catherine, who smiled: "According to experiments, the Blue and White Society's containment faith is also a kind of faith. Let's give it a try "
