Chapter 458 Faith in Reality!

The more ignorant and backward, the more devout the faith.

This sentence is correct. Civilization is the enemy of faith. If everyone is like a dragon, then who will worship and obey the dragon?

However, any phenomenon is only applicable within a certain range, just like now.

Lu En saw this point, but he did not see another point that for these snake people who are still in the primitive period, it is much more difficult than imagined to obtain their faith.

On the one hand, because the social structure is too primitive, these snake people are destined to be pragmatists. In other words, they are very realistic.

What they believe in is only the existence that will bring them benefits or disasters, and they are quite unpredictable. They expect a statue of a god to generate faith. Even with the deterrence of powerful power, these snake people may not even have the concept of "gods" formed.

Civilization is the enemy of faith, but faith is also a necessary stage of civilization.

To put it simply, it is like playing a game. The pre-technology of these snake people has not been fully opened.

It is very clear to think about the early beliefs, because no matter what kind of civilization, it must start from the primitive worship of nature, not targeting a certain person, but natural phenomena such as fire, earthquake, tsunami, storm, etc.

Only after the gradual development of society and the victory of civilization over barbarism, various beliefs in the true sense will appear, and only then will beliefs such as life and death, war, wealth, and even love occupy the mainstream.

On the other hand, it is the influence of extraordinary factors. In the face of powerful forces, these snake people will only be subdued and terrified, but if they want to worship wholeheartedly and devoutly, they still lack a little taste.

After all, these snake people also have their own extraordinary advancement path. People may worship the world's richest man, but they will never worship a college graduate, because the former's own concept is basically zero, while the latter is something that most people can do.

Therefore, in order to gain the faith of these snake people, Lu En needs to show some incredible abilities that they think they can't do.

In a sense, this is referred to as a "miracle".

Of course, whether it is a miracle is actually closely related to the degree of social development.

In the feudal era, if you built an airplane to send people to the sky, everyone would worship you and build temples and monuments. In modern society, doing this would only get you a lot of thumbs up.

However, in any era and any civilization, there is the most basic commonality, that is, the desire for life and the fear of death.

Most religions like to show their "miracles" in this regard, and Lu En now understands why.

Not long ago, he had just created a drama of resurrection from the dead and created the death knight of the church, but the matter had not yet fermented and only spread within a small range.

And now, he plans to do the same.

Of course, he will not wait until the snake man dies before taking action. Not to mention that he does not want to cross the nodes back and forth for this, the snake man's line of faith alone seems to have begun to fade gradually.

I am afraid that before he dies, the line of faith has been broken.

So temporarily through the line of faith, Lu En transmitted some power, which instantly boosted the spirit of the snake man!

"Hiss!"

The weak snakeman raised his head and felt a warm current flowing through his body. The original pain and fatigue were relieved a lot, and he couldn't help but hissed softly.

But his companions around him didn't pay much attention to him.

These snakemen defeated the statue they had snatched back just like they did to the lava snakeman before, and then piled up food. After waiting for a long time without any response, they dispersed and went to do their own things.

Perhaps they thought that the metal statue would come alive and swallow all the food in big mouthfuls.

Lu En watched all this with the help of the snakeman's eyes, but he was a little speechless in his heart.

From the information obtained from the snakeman's memory, Lu En's performance at that time was useful. In less than a month, due to the surge in survival pressure, his statue had been transferred several times among several tribes, but the worship methods were similar.

Rather than saying it was a belief, it was better to say that in the eyes of these snakemen, it was a transaction.

If the snake man had not been dying, lying here waiting to die, looking for a life-saving straw, perhaps both the snake man and Lu En would have quickly forgotten each other.

"It seems that what I need first is a pastor, or a priest, a shaman or something like that."

Lu En thought to himself, and the weak snake man, under his psychological suggestion, set his eyes on the statue, and then an excited and friendly emotion emerged in his heart, and he couldn't help but swim towards the statue.

As he approached, a faint red light suddenly appeared on the entire statue, which immediately attracted the attention of the snake men around.

This was not Lu En's control. In fact, except for relying on the line of faith to influence this snake man, Lu En could not control any power left in the inner world.

This was the spirit he separated in the statue, which felt the approach of the devout believers and naturally emitted a vision, which was also set up by Lu En before.

This kind of thing cannot be kept low-key, and there is no such thing as low-key when it comes to the spread of faith.

It was like an anecdote that Lu En heard in his previous life on Blue Star. Someone asked that since Buddha had reached the supreme state and regarded the world as nothing, why were all his statues in the temple golden?

The answer is that the golden body is not for Buddha to see, but for the world to see.

As the snake man approached, the light became stronger and stronger, and then the snake people around were surprised to see that a beam of light shot out from the eyes of the statue and fell into the eyes of the snake man!

Bang!

The next moment, the snake man fell down directly. Lu En did not leave much information, but for the snake man, it took some time to digest and understand, and he fainted directly.

Lu En also took the opportunity to stimulate the blood energy that was transmitted and quickly transformed it into vitality. The injured tail of the snake man suddenly seemed to go back in time and began to heal quickly. In the blink of an eye, even the scales grew back, and the breathing and breath stabilized.

"Hiss!"

This was an incomprehensible scene for most snake people, and it immediately caused a hissing sound. Of course, this was not because of the terrifying self-healing speed. There were many such creatures in the inner world, but they could not understand why the tribesmen who were supposed to die suddenly healed?

Adding the light emitted by the statue, these snake people showed a sense of awe and fear of unknown power.

"It's done. As expected, everything is difficult at the beginning."

Lu En felt the stable line of faith, and a trace of joy emerged in his heart. The pursuit of life and the resistance to death are the cornerstones of most beliefs. Coupled with the utilization skills of elemental power summarized by Lu En, there is no need to worry that these snake people will not take the bait.

In addition to not seeing the rabbit, not throwing the eagle, the real faith has another characteristic, that is, whoever has milk is the mother!

The generation of faith has never been a big problem, but consolidation is.
