"What is this fake believer doing?"
Zhao Yuqing turned her eyes to the royal palace in the center of the city, but Duan Tianming was not there at this time. She searched the city again and finally saw Duan Tianming next to the city wall under construction.
At this time, this fake believer was planning the construction of the city wall. Although many talents had received basic training, these people were still inferior to Duan Tianming in terms of foresight, so he still had to do some things himself.
Of course, things like this rarely happened, and most of the time he was having fun in the palace.
"Yes, put this statue at the city gate."
"Yes, yes, that's it."
Looking at the statue of Goddess Yuqing in the center of the square at the city gate, Duan Tianming was very satisfied.
The time flow rate between the Divine Realm and the Divine Domain is 1:10, which means that one day in the Divine Realm is equal to ten days in the Divine Domain.
For gods who are basically immortal, time is just a concept. The activities of gods are basically carried out in the divine realm. However, for gods with conditions, most of them live in divine realms with longer time, such as the divine realms of their parents, or the public divine realms.
These divine realms consume a large amount of divine power points. If the family does not have the resources, the children of the gods will not be allowed to live in the divine realm for a long time.
It has been nearly ten days since the Goddess of Rain and Clearness left, and the city wall of the Yan Kingdom’s capital is also about to be built.
During this period, not only the city walls of the capital needed to be built, but the name of the capital also needed to be changed. In this regard, Duan Tianming directly named it "Yuqing City".
He also ordered people to make some statues of gods and erect them in some squares in the city.
This does not mean that Duan Tianming has compromised with the gods. Although this behavior can increase the influence of the gods, this influence does not conflict with Duan Tianming.
On the contrary, this influence can even strengthen Duan Tianming's influence on Yan Country and his suppression of the gods.
Belief in gods is more of a sense of awe, which is more of a fear of the unknown, just like people are afraid of ghosts.
But when Duan Tianming put this god in the open, revealed the god's power directly and clearly, and tied his rule to this god.
The gods were materialized. They had appearance, abilities, personalities, and functions. People's reverence for them was no longer awe of the gods themselves but a pursuit of their functions.
This is like the Eastern God and the Western God, one talks about effectiveness and ineffectiveness, the other talks about sincerity and insincerity.
These are two completely different concepts.
In a word, it is to forcibly lower the figure of Goddess Yuqing, and then use some means to make people's faith in her serve utilitarian purposes.
Seeing Duan Tianming building the statue, Zhao Yuqing still couldn't believe it. She hurriedly used her talent to check Duan Tianming's mood, and a green ball appeared above his head.
"This Duan Tianming still has some conscience."
Zhao Yuqing was a little excited. It was indeed a good feeling to be admired by others, but she also felt that something was a little wrong.
Then, she looked at Duan Tianming's panel with some anticipation. She wanted to check whether the faith of this fake believer had increased.
Name: Duan Tianming
Faith level: -10% (Little Blackie)
····
····
Zhao Yuqing didn't know what to say. Not only did the level of faith not increase, it turned into a negative value. She had read through all the history books of the Ming Divine Kingdom and had never seen such a situation.
"Why, what on earth is he thinking?"
Zhao Yuqing was a little overwhelmed, not realizing that she had been drawn into Duan Tianming's rhythm.
"Oh, I'm going crazy."
Zhao Yuqing stared at Duan Tianming, who was lying on a wooden chair basking in the sun, as if she wanted to eat him.
"Forget it, let's stop wasting time and find a fanatic to train first."
Zhao Yuqing quickly shifted her gaze. If she continued to watch, she would sooner or later be angered to death by this fake believer.
"Great God of Rain and Sunshine, please allow me to gain more."
In front of a statue, a young man was worshiping. Seeing the young man's pious look, Zhao Yuqing was overjoyed and hurriedly checked the young man's panel.
Name: Wang Goudan
Age: 58
Level: None
Faith level: 25% (fake believers)
“·····”
Zhao Yuqing didn't know what to say. The devout look of the believer in front of her made her think that he was a fanatic, but upon checking, she found that he was a fake believer.
"Don't lose heart. Come again. I will definitely find the fanatic."
Then Zhao Yuqing searched among the people worshiping the statues nearby. After searching for a long time, she finally gave up hope.
This group of old men acted more pious than each other when they were worshipping, but upon closer inspection, there was not even one devout believer among them, and most of them were fake believers.
This made Zhao Yuqing speechless. She didn't expect that her clansmen were so good at disguising themselves. They must have been infected by that fake believer named Duan.
"Get kicked!"
Duan Tianming, who returned to the palace to take a nap, sneezed and wrapped the quilt tighter. It was almost autumn now, so he had to pay attention to protecting his body.
"Ahhhh! Why am I so unlucky?"
After frantically exploring the panel, Zhao Yuqing's divine power was almost exhausted. She couldn't help but feel a little sad. Her classmates were all devout believers and she could easily find a lot of crazy believers, but she searched the "Yuqing City" full of her statues, but there were not even a few real believers.
"They're all liars, ahhhh!"
Zhao Yuqing was so annoyed that she started swearing, and she really looked pitiful.
"What rain and clear sky gods? Prepare for the autumn harvest."
In a farm near the city, a middle-aged man was scolding a young man harshly.
"Dad, you are disrespectful to the Yuqing spirit. She made you 50 years younger."
The young man pointed at the middle-aged man's face and said.
"Of course I respect Goddess Yuqing, but I also understand that it was King Duan Tianming who brought us food, taught us skills, and ensured that each of us could have enough food and clothing, and not live a life of consuming raw meat and drinking blood."
"If it's a choice between youth and survival, then this old man will choose survival without hesitation. The God of Rain and Clear Sky can give us health and life, but only King Duan Tianming can keep us alive."
"And what about you now? You kneel before this statue every day, begging for gifts from the Goddess Yuqing. You don't do any of our village's collective labor. Every day you're just a lazy bum supported by the village cafeteria. Are you worthy of King Duan Tianming? Are you worthy of the Goddess Yuqing?"
"Are you going to spend your whole life begging for mercy from the gods instead of creating a real life with your own hands?"
The middle-aged man became more and more excited as he spoke, but his logic was very clear. This was the result of Duan Tianming's continuous literacy campaign for the people of Yan. Now almost every adult in Yan can recognize commonly used Chinese characters.
