In this two-way locked cage, gods, like human beings, are victims of the cruel natural law. This is not only Gao Wen's characterization of this matter, but also all those who have participated in the disobedience plan and know the whole inside story so far. The consensus reached was that even Kamel and Veronica Ophelia, former high-ranking disobedients, now agreed with Gawain.

But for the representatives present, the biggest emotion in their hearts at the moment is not the nature of this matter, but the supreme gods who have always been the "victims" of something-this cognition The huge subversion in the world made everyone's expressions complicated, and the cognition they had developed since birth made them instinctively think that this statement was absurd, but the irrefutable facts made them have to admit these things in front of them .

"Well, the gods are victims... I don't think anyone has ever thought of this theory, but since it is a fact, we have to admit it," Paladin Huishanyan, the plenipotentiary ambassador from Forge City, stood up from his seat When he got up, his voice was deep and powerful, as if the sound of boulders rolling came from the cave, "Then what can we mortals do? If this is a cycle of contradictions that even the gods cannot break free..."

"Gods are saving themselves, so of course we have to save ourselves," Gawain replied calmly, "We are facing a road with no choice. In the face of the laws of nature, there is no option of surrender and detours. The cruel laws will not Care about the personal wishes of mortals—either solve this problem, or everyone will die, even the gods who protect this world, they will die too.

"It's not like this kind of thing has never happened before. The records of the giant dragon can prove that the civilizations destroyed in the development process are like grass in the wind, and they cannot survive one after another.

"So we have to save ourselves, and this is essentially a joint effort of mortals and gods to save ourselves - although due to certain factors, we cannot directly communicate with the gods, and we cannot directly cooperate with the gods, but since we have mastered some Law, this kind of 'self-help' is theoretically feasible."

"Mortals and gods save themselves together..." Melita Purnia raised her head subconsciously under the banner that symbolized Tarrond. She looked at Gawain who was speaking with a solemn gesture in astonishment. Subconsciously repeating the other party's conclusion just now - in her long memory, this is the boldest and even the most arrogant statement she has ever heard from a mortal, but this statement that is so bold that it is almost arrogant is like a flash of lightning For some reason, she suddenly thought of the scene when she was summoned by the dragon god for the last time, and thought of the eyes that the god had looked at her gently. She felt that she understood something, but this feeling Soon, it flowed away from the bottom of her heart like water.

"To save ourselves together..." Rosetta Augustus muttered a few words softly, his brows were slightly furrowed, but soon gradually relaxed, a faint smile appeared on his face, he knocked Knocking on the stone table in front of him, he seemed to be in a very happy mood and muttered to himself, "As expected of you, I really dare to say it..."

"How do we save ourselves?" The leader of the northern city-state association broke the silence. This tall man looked into Gao Wen's eyes, "Have you thought of a specific plan?"

"The connection between God and man is based on the 'trend of thought', and this is a long-term subtle influence. We cannot roughly cut it off, nor can we use the executive power of a few powerful countries to do 'partial cutting'. The safest and most feasible way is to implement a controllable 'mind release' movement around the world, and carry out a comprehensive, orderly, and safe 'relaxation'," Gao Wen nodded in response, "Based on this, we Proposal to set up a special organization, the 'Theocratic Council'.

"The Theocracy Council can be regarded as the spiritual continuation of the rebellious plan of the Gondor era, but the specific operation mode and means have been changed according to the modern situation. The fundamental goal of the Theocracy Council is to relieve the potential danger of the 'divine disaster',

The initial plan consists of the following departments: Theological Research Institute, Theocratic Arbitration Tribunal, Theocratic Planning Agency, Divine Disaster Countermeasures Agency...

"The Institute of Theology is the main technical department. It has a series of facilities such as various god analysis laboratories, theological knowledge bases, and divine material storage. Its duty is to analyze all knowledge related to the gods, including their birth mechanism, operation Mechanism, extinction mechanism, and out-of-control mechanism, from theory to technology, establish a set of system tools that are understandable, accessible, and applicable to ordinary people;

"The Theocratic Arbitration Tribunal is used to connect with the specific Holy See. Its duty is to ensure that the order of the various sects is controllable, to ensure that a series of plans formulated by the Theocracy Program are fully implemented, to rule on the behavior of orthodoxy and heresy, and to rule on legal and illegal gods. Depending on the country, the Arbitration Tribunal here and there may be run as a secret service, but in any case it must function effectively...

"The Theocracy Program is responsible for formulating a series of plans for 'adjustment' of ideological trends and theocracy. Its members are all of you here, and some of its seats will be reserved for church leaders of various denominations in the future-this is what I must Emphasized one point. We are not trying to fight against or destroy any legitimate and beneficial church, let alone destroy the gods behind them. This is a joint self-help, so those church leaders who are willing to cooperate are also our natural allies. We must To win the active support of various sects, let them realize the seriousness of the problem...

"Of course, if some people are unwilling to support, then we have to find a way to make them willing - it is a matter of life and death for all mortals, unfortunately, some things cannot be discussed.

"The Divine Disaster Countermeasures Agency is an extremely important 'disaster response unit'. They will directly apply the cutting-edge technology from the Institute of Theology to directly fight against the gods who tend to lose control or even have begun to lose control. This is the second point I want to emphasize: Although the gods are 'victims' just like us, this is limited to the gods before they lose control. Once the gods lose control, their actions are no longer controlled by their subjective consciousness. They will evolve into unconscious natural disasters, just like tsunamis Like an earthquake, we must resolutely eliminate this disaster... Just like what Augustus and I did on the battlefield of Winterhold, like what the dragons did in Tarrond..."

Gawain slowly uttered his plan, and behind every word and sentence were the contributions of countless people - from the research team led by Kamel to Veronica's continuous observation and accumulation over the past 700 years The data from the past, the lessons accumulated by the Doom Society, the Eternal Sleepers, and the Sons of the Storm on the wrong path, and even the knowledge "stolen" by the Augustus family at the cost of the lives of several generations in the past two hundred years, It can even be traced back to more than a thousand years ago, back to the original disobedients... During this arduous search journey that spanned ten centuries, the bits and pieces accumulated by mortals finally merged and formed into this oath Voices echoed in the stone ring.

The gray elf leader from the Ogure tribal country stood up, and the short lady stepped on her chair indifferently: "In terms of specific actions to control the trend of thought and interfere with the operation of the gods, there are relatively clear plan?"

"Yes, according to the information we have so far, it is feasible to guide the whole people in the fields of culture, ideology, and belief activities," Gao Wen nodded. Habitual reliance on traditional Chinese culture, reinterpretation of theological classics, and reducing the blindness of the public's beliefs..."

Gawain patiently explained, and following his narration, nearby Rosetta Augustus and Belsetia nodded slowly: they were no strangers to what Gawain was talking about at the moment.

"I have another question." After Gao Wen explained, Wenna Baizhi still did not sit down, her expression became more serious, "After our series of measures took effect, after we weakened the public and After the connection between the gods... how will the gods be affected? After losing so much faith support, will they really not perish?"

Faced with the questioning of the gray elf leader, Gawain's expression became serious.

He was not surprised by this question - the Ogure tribal country has always been a country that attaches great importance to tradition, and they have unique belief activities that have a profound impact on their own society. Among the mountains of the tribal country, many different races They all believe in various gods, including the main righteous gods in the current mainland, as well as the mountain gods they believe in. People in this country have a different view of their gods than people in other places. Deep feelings, so facing the series of "theocratic transformation plans" proposed by Gawain, this gray elf leader must have doubts in his heart.

"They won't perish——I can assure you," Gao Wen looked into Wenna Baizhi's eyes and said solemnly, "Unless they are in the early stage when the trend of thoughts has not yet formed and the spirit body is unstable, otherwise A normal god who has been worshiped by believers for a long time and has the ability to perform miracles will not die after the chain of belief is broken. After they are formed, they will form a stable self-circulation, and their power will be controlled and will not last Dispersed, even if the connection of belief is broken, they will just stop growing or experience a certain degree of decline-this is better than going crazy or dying."

Wenna Bai Zhi couldn't help asking: "Has this been confirmed?"

Confirmation...how can it be called confirmation... Anyway, the big white deer in the backyard has been enjoying the Internet every day recently, and his energy is getting better every day. And according to the report sent two days ago, there might be a goddess who is cats in the backyard. It’s been half a year since that sister’s funeral, and now she’s competing with the God of Nature for the remote control every day. like dying...

But this kind of evidence obviously cannot be disclosed to the outside world now. Although it is all facts, speaking out will quickly reduce the seriousness of the whole meeting and even the credibility of all the previous materials. Gao Wen can only think in his mind Thinking about it, the solemn and solemn expression was still maintained on his face: "There is already observational evidence, but it cannot be made public at this stage."

Wenna Bai Zhi looked at Gao Wen, and after a few seconds she exhaled lightly, her expression relaxed, and she sat back on the chair again: "I understand. But I hope to get more information from the shared information later. evidence."

Gao Wen nodded and glanced across the audience: "The significance of the Theocracy Council is no less than that of the Community Alliance we just established. It requires the close cooperation of all member states, the sharing of knowledge and technology, and the cost input of all countries. Establishing a united front equivalent to a 'joint vigilance circle' would hardly have the immediate economic or political benefits of establishing a circum-continental route - of course, sooner or later there will be gains in this regard, but it is not destined to be The fundamental purpose of the Theocratic Council.

"The biggest benefit it brings us is 'survival' itself.

"It's not easy to make a decision. Next, each of us will have ample opportunity to speak, who is in favor, who is against, and who has doubts... Everyone speaks freely. I only hope that under the solemn flag of all countries, we will not have any reservations."

...

In the chaotic and gloomy courtyard of the Fortress of Disobedience, the light and shadow projected by the magic net terminal and the faint white radiance of the giant deer Amorn complement each other, creating a dim but reassuring light in this dark and gloomy place.

Mirmina, who was covered in magical clouds all over her body, focused on watching the phantom drama screen presented on the holographic projection, until the music sounded and the list appeared, she couldn't help muttering softly: "Why did the last mage apprentice You have to die...the script writers are really heartless..."

Amoen, who was resting with his eyes closed, ignored the old god who had watched four Phantom Dramas in a row, and only opened his eyes after a while and said casually, "What do you think they are talking about now?"

Mirmina didn't react for a while: "They? Who? Those craftsmen in the last show?"

"...get your brains out of the Phantom Play, they're rotten and moldy, ma'am," Amorn seemed to sigh, "I'm talking about that meeting—you don't wonder if they'll be there What's the last thing to talk about?"

Mirmina turned her head, her eyes filled with arcane brilliance narrowed slightly, and after a while she smiled softly: "You have been away from the material world for three thousand years, are you still unable to let go of the children?"

"Elves can live for a long time, and some children may still be alive now... But this world has become something they can't adapt to, and after this meeting, it will change even more rapidly," Amon said slowly, His eyes fell on Mirmina, "Did you let it go without paying attention? Even if most of the world is just your shallow believers and general believers..."

"I don't care, they all wrote the mage's apprentice to death...my little Ravencrest..."

"...don't blame the playwright, it's based on real events, you should read the synopsis before the play."

"I know, that's why I'm even angrier..."

The courtyard fell silent for a while, and after a few seconds of silence, Amoen's voice broke the silence: "Actually, I have always wanted to ask, do you feel that your humanity...has been 'awakened' more and more rapidly recently? Already? You think like a mortal now, with emotions so clear, although this may be a good thing, but... this is not the speed you originally expected."
