Chapter 186 The Final Decision
"It's just that it depends on whether the earth's consciousness is willing or not."
Worshiping the Earth Cult is not a religion worshiping the United Government. To guide the Cult of the Earth, it must first be recognized by Chen Fan. Only when Chen Fan recognizes the ideas and practices of the United Government can this be implemented.
After all, the Earth Worship Cult is, in a sense, a direct manifestation of Chen Fan's influence on human society. The coalition government's participation in controlling the Earth Worship Cult is a restriction on Chen Fan's influence.
"This matter shouldn't be difficult." Craven has no worries about this matter. The cooperation between the coalition government and Chen Fan has always been smooth, and Chen Fan recognizes human values. As long as he understands the interests and benefits, he believes in Chen Fan. I won't object to this.
In fact, this is indeed the case.
After listening to their discussion, Chen Fan was already thinking about how to change the Earth Worship Cult.
Historically, there were no glorious countries without the integration of politics and religion, but for the current coalition government, the integration of politics and religion is unnecessary and will not bring any additional benefits to the civilization of the earth.
The barbaric growth of religion will hinder the progress of the earth's civilization and become a resistance to the advancement of the earth's civilization.
But his existence is objective, and humans have the instinct to seek psychological sustenance. For perceptual earthlings, the attraction of a real God is unimaginable, so the Earth Worship Cult was born to worship him. The religion of the object is a given.
It is impossible to prevent the birth of a religion like Earth Worship that worships him.
Unless the coalition government takes a sweeping approach to religious beliefs, explicitly bans all religious beliefs, and then enacts a series of related laws to severely punish all those who spread religious beliefs. From now on, it will treat religious beliefs as a scourge and always maintain hatred and vigilance. Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible. Prevent the emergence of the Earth Worship Cult.
But this is simply not possible.
Except for Hao Xiaoxi, the other four directors of the coalition government all have their own religious beliefs.
They are the epitome of people on earth.
The power of religion is powerful. Two-thirds of the people on the planet have religious beliefs. Those who have no religious beliefs are a minority. Even in China, where religion is weak, there are more than 200 million religious believers.
It is more feasible to ban non-religious beliefs than to ban religious beliefs.
To ban religious beliefs is to be an enemy to two-thirds of the people on earth. This is one of the reasons why the coalition government did not immediately take measures against earth worshipers after noticing the harm caused by earth worshipers, let alone ban religious beliefs. .
Having religious beliefs is actually not a bad thing, because faith can give people spiritual support and help people get through the low points in life.
The bad ones are extreme ideas and people who try to manipulate beliefs for their own personal gain.
"I don't want the Earth Worship Cult to go astray and become an obstacle to earth civilization, and I don't need to rely on the Earth Worship Cult to gain a say in the coalition government." Chen Fan holds the power of life and death for human beings, and can even To sterilize all mankind, there is no need to rely on the Earth Worshipers to increase their influence among mankind. "If the coalition government can guide the Earth Worshipers well, then I will select a few spokespersons from the coalition government and let the coalition government fight for me. What’s wrong with worshiping the Earth Cult?”
The Earth Worship Cult is a very good starting point for cultivating mankind's awareness of loving the earth. As long as it is properly guided, the members of the Earth Worship Cult will become the most loyal supporters of earth civilization.
Thinking of this, Chen Fan no longer eavesdropped secretly, but directly used gravity to control the directors' notebooks and pens to fly into the air.
This turn of events shocked everyone in the conference room, but the directors quickly calmed down, thinking that they had guessed that Chen Fan had arrived and had something to say to them.
They were discussing how to deal with the Earth Worship Cult and their belief in Chen Fan. It was reasonable for Chen Fan to come here to express his opinions.
In fact, they really hoped to have a direct communication with Chen Fan at this moment.
"Great Earth Consciousness, do you have anything to tell us about Earth Worship?" Hao Xiaoxi asked the question straightforwardly. In this matter, she believed there was no need to beat around the bush, let alone that the other party was the omniscient Earth. consciousness.
Earth consciousness?
The directors' assistants suddenly understood and were no longer nervous.
swish swish——
Under Chen Fan's control, five pens slid across five notebooks, conveying Chen Fan's ideas to the coalition government in the native languages of the five directors.
"Earth Worship Cult is objectively posing a threat to Earth civilization, so I think your opinion is correct. I can choose a few spokespersons from the candidates you provided. I hope you can guide Earth Worship Cult correctly and cultivate people's love for the Earth. Consciousness helps Earth’s civilization thrive.”
Seeing these few lines of small words, the directors' faces showed expressions of surprise.
They understand that the earth consciousness recognizes their ideas, and they can radically reform the Earth Worship Cult in the name of the Earth Consciousness, and at the same time eradicate those who try to use the Earth Worship Cult to make profits for themselves.
Earth-worshiping religion will continue to exist, but it will not become an obstacle to earth civilization, but will become a favorable force to promote the harmonious development of earth civilization, while squeezing the living space of other religions that are not conducive to the development of earth civilization.
"Thank you for your understanding." Hao Xiaoxi expressed his gratitude to Chen Fan from the bottom of his heart. There have been many disasters caused by improper development of religions in history. Earth worship is so special. Without the support of earth consciousness, the coalition government will not only be unable to suppress worship. The Earth Cult may even be swallowed up by the Earth Worship Cult.
If the Earth Consciousness disagrees with the United Government's control over the Earth Worship, it will lead to the wild growth of the Earth Worship.
In a few hundred years, the United Government will be filled with fanatical believers of the Earth Worship, and the Earth Consciousness will be able to gain control over the United Government with these believers.
But the Earth Consciousness did not do so.
For the healthy development of the entire Earth civilization, the Earth Consciousness handed over the power to manage the Earth Worship to the United Government.
This behavior, like MOSS, limits its own ability to some extent.
"Thank you, great Earth Consciousness." Kraven bowed his head humbly, "True gods are often kind and selfless."
"Praise the Earth!" Vladimir showed a mouthful of white teeth, "We will definitely not let you down, we will manage the Earth Worship well, and strive to realize a world where everyone loves the ball."
Everyone loves the ball, this word sounds a bit strange, but it will soon become a new trend.
At this time, Chen Fan manipulated the pen to write another sentence.
"Thank you for the contribution of mankind to Earth civilization."
Earth civilization is not only about humans, but also about flowers, plants, trees, birds, beasts, insects and fish. However, only humans, as an intelligent race, can solve problems for Earth civilization. Humans deserve the gratitude of Earth consciousness.
The directors were stunned when they saw this line of words.
They were all old, but for some reason, when they received Chen Fan's gratitude at this moment, they suddenly felt an inexplicable emotion surge up from the bottom of their hearts, and there was a tendency for tears to gather in their eyes.
"You're welcome. As a member of Earth civilization, this is what we should do." Hao Xiaoxi said solemnly, "In the near future, humans will make greater contributions to Earth civilization."
Vladimir said in a deep voice: "Earth civilization will become an evergreen tree in the multiverse and will never wither."
"All life on Earth is one. It is our honor to be a human being and contribute to Earth civilization in this life." Craven sighed a little. He thought that there were countless species on Earth, and most of the life was enjoying the prosperity of Earth civilization in ignorance. It was an honor to be reborn as an adult to help the development of Earth civilization.
"Thank you."
"Thank you."
"Thank you."
"."
The people in the conference room expressed their gratitude to Chen Fan in their native languages.
This was the first time that Chen Fan communicated with the top leaders of the United Government in this way. They used Liu Peiqiang as an intermediary before, and Liu Peiqiang conveyed the meaning of both sides.
This time it was a direct communication.
It's not that Chen Fan didn't want to communicate directly before, but if he didn't focus on the coalition government, even if he "observed" all the movements in the coalition government, it would be too late by the time he reacted.
Chen Fan manipulated the paper and pen to fall back on the table and moved his attention away from the meeting room.
He was shopping with Ava, who kept asking him if his clothes and various jewelry looked good, and asked him to give targeted opinions. He had to withdraw his attention, otherwise his reaction would be too slow and cause Ava's doubts.
Ava would not dislike him for this, or have some human temper, but would just ask some questions.
What are you doing? Is it more important than me?
Should we stop shopping?
Did I delay your work?
Accompanying these questions was a slight loss of emotion. If Chen Fan was a native planetary consciousness, it would be fine, then he would not have any empathy, and would just answer questions like a straight man, and would not think of comforting Ava's emotions.
But he was a planetary consciousness that traveled from humans. He couldn't stand Ava's "too sensible" little mood, and couldn't help wanting to comfort Ava. He felt guilty if he didn't coax Ava.
Objectively, this increased Ava's favor for him, but it also brought him a burden.
He had to focus on Ava and it was difficult to deal with what happened elsewhere.
Fortunately, the biggest problem of the Pacific Rim universe - the pioneer civilization has been solved. What he has to do next is to use gravity to drop people to the Pacific Rim Earth in batches according to the schedule provided by the United Government. This is a mechanical behavior, and it can be left to the subconscious.
"This skirt is very beautiful, especially the beige small florals on it, which are very beautiful." Chen Fan commented on Ava's new skirt in a very reasonable way, which won Ava's smile.
Chen Fan looked at Ava's smiling face and felt Ava's joyful emotions, and he suddenly thought of something.
The United Government always worried that Ava would turn against humans one day in the future, but if he was with Ava, would this potential crisis never exist?
