National God: Am I regarded as an NPC by the natives?

Chapter 84 Faith breaks out
Time passed slowly, although Di Qiu had already issued the oracle for Mana to lead the believers to defeat the God of Plague.

But all this is not so urgent, we need to go to crusade immediately.

The reason why I chose to speak out about this matter when the church was opened was mainly to gain more righteous reputation.

Through the spread among believers, more people will have a favorable impression of the Holy Light Religion, thus increasing their faith in Di Qiu.

The nature of gods is profit-seeking, and the existence of divinity gives each god a sense that mortals do not have.

Whether it is anger, joy, or kindness, they are nothing more than an external expression of God toward believers.

By leaving a certain inherent impression in the minds of believers, it expresses the position of the god.

Let more believers understand how to understand and be in harmony with God.

It can also provide more potential believers, such as mortals with similar ideals.

Just like in a mortal war, some people holding high the banner of justice can make more people loyal to them.

During this period of time, Di Qiu was completely free.

With the development of his power on the right track, Di Qiu began to try to understand the daily lives of some believers and show some miracles.

Sadek City, plus nearby towns, and the sphere of influence between Boluo Mountain and Sadek City.

Di Qiu's power now covers an area of ​​more than 200 million square kilometers.

Maybe it's just that this concept is a bit vague, but it's the life when Di Qiusheng was a mortal.

The country he lives in called Huaxia only covers an area of ​​more than 900 million square kilometers. Di Qiu's current sphere of influence is equivalent to about a quarter of Huaxia.

Of course, this is just the sphere of influence, but the population ratio is completely incomparable.

In Di Qiu's large sphere of influence, the population could not even reach [-] million.

And except for Sadek City, several nearby towns, and the dozens of kilometers around Boluo Mountain, other places have not yet been completely controlled by Di Qiu.

In a small town between Polo Mountain and Sadek City.

Jessica led the believers to start transforming the temple used by the Light God to worship the God of Light.

"What's going on? I recently heard that the Temple of Light in many places nearby has been renovated. Could it be that something happened?"

Outside the temple, some old people in the town looked at the temple under construction and wondered.

They have lived under the rule of the Light God for a long time, and their belief in the God of Light has been deeply ingrained and cannot be shaken.

The teachings of the God of Light have affected their deep-rooted habits.

Even if they do not reach the level of fanatic believers, they have already reached the level of devout believers.

There were rumors about the death of the God of Light some time ago, and the Temple of Light was constantly being renovated and demolished during this period, which had to make them nervous.

Although they are all devout believers, different identities will still cause believers' attitudes towards gods to change.

When a devout believer with fighting power sees the temple of a god being demolished, he will question it in confusion, or even fight.

But an old man has no fighting ability at all. Even as a devout believer, when he saw the temple of the god being demolished, he did not dare to go out and question it.

If no explanation can be obtained in the end, there may be only one fate for these old people.

After losing faith, I became panicked.

In addition, he was worried that his questioning would implicate his family and friends, and he eventually died of depression.

Fortunately, the philosophy of the Holy Light Church is very clear in Mana’s expression.

When dealing with heretics, the Holy Light Church will choose to use violent means and choose to carry out justice first.

A gentle approach is required when dealing with those who wish to believe in the Light.

Although the Holy Light represents judgment and justice, it also has mercy.

After hearing the puzzled words of these old people, at Jessica's signal, a bright priest who originally lived in this city walked out.

"Don't worry, nothing unusual happened in the temple. You see, I used to be the priest of this temple. Didn't I stop their actions?"

A middle-aged man who gave people a strong sense of familiarity just by looking at them said to these old people with a smile.

"Old man, I know you, you should also remember me, right?"

"Even after the death of the God of Light these years, you guys still come to the temple to pray every morning shortly after dawn."

"I know you are all devout believers in the light."

Hearing what the middle-aged man said, one of the old men also exclaimed and his eyes widened.

"You are Bishop Clay. Since you agree with the changes in the temple, we naturally have no doubts."

In the hearts of these old people, the priests and monks who stayed in the temple every day must have more pious beliefs in the God of Light than they did.

Even some old people who have reached the level of devout believers in gods will think so.

This is the inherent concept that mortals have. They will always use their subjective consciousness to make themselves make more guesses about some things.

"It seems that you still know me, so that's easy. Don't worry too much. Your daily life will not change. You can still come here to pray in the future."

Bishop Clay smiled and said to the others, and then began to teach them new prayers.

"It's just that the vocabulary required for prayer may change in the future, and the God of Light will become the God of Holy Light."

Someone heard this and asked in disbelief:

"The prayer words have changed? And you just said that the God of Light has fallen. Are all the previous rumors true?"

Clay was a little helpless, but the biggest problem still came.

But with Mana's orders and Jessica on his side, he wasn't too worried.

"Alas, the God of Light has indeed fallen. There is no doubt about this."

"In order to protect this world, he fell into the depths of the starry sky together with many evil gods from outside the realm."

"But you don't have to worry. Although the God of Light has left this world, the light has not disappeared. A new light has come to this world."

"The great, noble, and benevolent God of Holy Light was born in the world of Canglan. He has taken charge of the new light and continues to bring light to all living beings."

"So now we are going to transform the Temple of Light into the Temple of Holy Light. When we pray in the future, we need to pray to the God of Holy Light."

After hearing Clay's words, most of the old people had a look of understanding in their eyes and had their own understanding.

"So what you are saying is that the God of Holy Light is the successor of the God of Light and will lead the God of Light in the future?" someone asked.

"Just like after the emperor of a country dies, the new emperor will ascend the throne and change the year and month calendar?"

"Changing the temple now means that a new god has ascended the throne, so we need to transform the statue of the god. There is still no change in our daily life, right?"

"Yes, that's pretty much what it means." Clay smiled.

Although there are some mistakes in this explanation, the God of Holy Light has never said that he is a descendant of the God of Light.

But for a new god to ascend the throne and a country’s emperor to ascend the throne, it doesn’t have to be an heir, right?
However, for these civilians, too complex concepts will be difficult to explain.

"That's right, that's understandable." Someone nodded.

“I just don’t know how this God of Holy Light compares to the God of Light, and whether he is as great as the God of Light.”

"Bold, how can you question the gods at will?" Before the man could finish speaking, he was immediately scolded by the old man next to him.

"The gods are so great that they have brought us new light so that our descendants can continue to live. This is enough."

The man was shocked when he heard this and realized that he had made a mistake. He looked at his old friend next to him gratefully.

"I'm sorry, Bishop Clay. As we get older, we talk more. I hope you can forgive me for my disrespectful words just now."

"Don't worry. Although our Lord, the God of Holy Light, is a god who represents justice and judgment, he will not judge you for this."

At this time, Jessica walked over. The peaceful and holy aura exuding from her body made people think of the dignity of the gods just by looking at it.

"While my Lord represents justice and judgment, he also includes mercy and kindness. He will not do anything to you just because of a momentary slip of the tongue."

“Justice and judgment are the means of our Lord against the heretics and the wicked.”

"Benevolence and kindness are my Lord's attitudes towards his people. After my Lord came, he also did many things for the sentient beings in Canglan Continent."

Jessica told the God of Holy Light how to kill the evil god, and proactively dispatched believers to the Principality of Demoli where the plague was occurring.

Following Jessica's description, these people began to identify with the God of Holy Light.

"Although there are certain differences between the methods of the God of Light and that of the God of Light, there is no doubt that the God of Holy Light's attitude towards us, the people of the Holy Light, is not much different from that of the God of Light."

"The God of Holy Light's tough tactics are only aimed at the enemy. I quite agree with this. Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to the people."

"The original God of Light gave up the opportunity to kill heretics sometimes, which led to the death of more people of light later." Things similar to what happened to Jessica were of course not limited to this one. At the same time, many people Similar things happened in towns and villages.

Slowly, many believers who agreed with the God of Holy Light appeared in various places near Sadek.

They left comments that they agreed with, and these comments were also recorded by the Holy Light Temple to stabilize the hearts of more Light God believers.

Of course, this kind of comment may not stay for too long. It will be removed in a year or two. It is just used in special times now.

But even so, in almost a week, the belief in Di Qiu near Sadek City became devout.

In a very short period of time, many people's faith has improved from being a general believer to being a deep believer.

There are even many devout believers of the God of Light who have become devout believers of Di Qiu without any loss of faith.

Even most of the deep believers maintain high standards of faith and may become devout believers at any time.

The reason why I haven't become a devout believer yet is because I have some concerns and discomfort.

Just like when a new emperor ascends the throne, people need to wonder about the changes that the new emperor will bring to their daily lives.

But this confusion only takes a little time to get used to.

In the past few days, Di Qiu's faith gained every day has skyrocketed at a terrifying speed.

On the first day of establishing the Holy Light Religion, Di Qiu gained 120 six points of divine power.

The next day, Di Qiu's divine power harvest became 170 points.

On the third day, it doubled, directly becoming 350 four points.

On the fourth day, more than 500 points.

Now on the seventh day, Di Qiu's faith gained in one day directly reached a terrifying more than 1000 points.

What is the concept of harvesting more than 1000 points of divine power in a day?

It takes [-] pan-believers to provide Di Qiu with a little divine power a day.

Now the number of believers under Di Qiu's command has almost reached the level of more than 1000 million pan-believers.

Of course, the population definitely does not have so many believers.

After all, deep believers can provide ten times more faith than ordinary believers every day, and devout believers can provide ten times more faith than deep believers.

As for Di Qiu's followers, most of them are deep believers, the remaining small number are extensive believers, and the remaining few are devout believers and fanatical believers.

But this also means that Di Qiu already has millions of followers under his command.

Following Mana's arrangements, temples of light began to be transformed into temples of holy light.

And Di Qiu also performed miracles in many places.

Xilinli Village.

An old man endured physical discomfort and climbed out of bed in the morning when the sun was just rising from the sky.

"It's another new day. It's time to go to the temple to pray. I hope that the great, noble and merciful God of Holy Light will bless you."

The old man murmured, picked up the crutches from the bed, and walked slowly towards the Holy Light Temple in the village, which was less than thirty square meters in size.

Although the distance was only 1000 meters, the old man walked for nearly 10 minutes to reach the temple.

"Grandma Xilan, you are here again today. I just planned to go over to see you. How is your health?"

A beautiful-looking white-winged person with white wings on her back walked out of the temple. She looked at the old woman with a smile on her face and asked.

After saying that, she hurriedly ran out of the temple and came to Granny Xilan's side to help her towards the temple.

"Media, thank you for your concern. Old lady, I don't even have the strength to walk to the temple." Grandma Xilan did not refuse Midya's support.

"On the contrary, it makes you worry. Every morning when I can't come over, you worry about whether something happened to me."

Her children have all died due to some accidents. The reason why she can persist in living until now is mainly because of the faith in her heart and the relief of the Light God Religion.

Some time ago she was about to die from lack of food.

But at this time, the Holy Light Cult came, and they brought new relief.

So Grandma Xilan survived because of this, and this is how Media got to know her.

New hope came, coupled with the original devout belief in the God of Light, and the guarantee of the original priest of the God of Light.

Grandma Xilan became a devout believer in the God of Holy Light in almost a short period of time.

"Don't say that, Grandma Xilan, you are a believer of my Lord."

"Our Lord once said that when dealing with heretics, we will give righteous judgment, and when dealing with believers, we should give kindness and mercy."

When he said the word "my lord", Media had a strong look of admiration in his eyes.

"It's a pity that I'm only a preliminary priest now, and I can't use the ability of a real priest to help you cure your hidden disease."

"We can only wait until the real priests in the town come over in the future to help you cure your hidden disease."

Xilan said with a smile: "Media, don't worry, I believe you will become a real priest sooner or later."

"As for my injuries, you don't have to worry about them. I've been like this for several years."

"I have asked the priests who came to the Temple of Light before, but I have a hidden physical illness that cannot be easily cured by priests."

"When people get old, they will reach this point sooner or later."

Grandma Xilan was very open-minded and took the initiative to comfort Media.

"Being able to meet you at such an old age is already very satisfying to me."

Media was silent, because Granny Xilan did not have any children, so when she met Media, she almost placed her thoughts on her.

"Grandma Xilan, let's pray first."

"It really doesn't work. When I break through to the extraordinary realm and return to the Holy Mountain of Boluo in a while, I will go to the original temple to pray for you."

Mount Boluo, the place where Di Qiu first descended, is now known as Mount Boluo by believers, and the temple on Mount Boluo is also called the original temple.

The sacred mountain of Polo and the original temple symbolize the place where the God of Holy Light first descended, which was the beginning of everything.

If a believer can go to the original temple to pray, the possibility of receiving a response from the gods will be greatly increased.

This is not nonsense. Di Qiu answered seven prayers in this week, three of which were in the initial temple response.

The remaining four times appeared in the four temples respectively.

"Media, you are willing, but there is no need to force this kind of thing."

While the two were talking, Grandma Xilan also walked into the temple.

The two fell silent, and no noise was allowed in front of the statue. This was one of the rules of the Holy Light Cult.

Entering the temple, Granny Xilan felt that her body had become much more relaxed, and her pace actually became much faster.

Grandma Xilan quickly walked to the temple, knelt down on the ground devoutly, and began to pray eloquently.

"The great, noble and merciful God of Holy Light"

"I hope you can bless this child Media to live a safe life, fulfill her dream, and become an extraordinary priest as soon as possible."

Prayer is naturally more than just praying. In addition to praying, believers will also express their wishes.

It's just that the probability of this wish being answered is very small, but believers are happy with it.

What if one day I suddenly get a response?Even if there is no response, there is no loss for them, right?

Praying has become a habit for them, and it is also the fantasy and hope in their hearts.

God is the sustenance of their wishes. Whether or not they come true will not affect their faith.

Of course, if their wishes come true, their piety will definitely increase a lot.

Media was moved as she listened to Granny Silan's prayer.

Praying in front of gods can be said to be a true wish for a devout believer.

After all, no believer dares to deceive the gods.

Moreover, if random prayers come true, there will be no place to cry.

　There will be one later. I have just adjusted back from the busy Mid-Autumn Festival, and I can’t go back to updating the two together.
