Chapter 543 The Actions of the Gods (Ten Thousand)
Carelessness.
Just two words, but they made the repairman extremely anxious.
Since the two wars of the gods, many administrators seemed to realize that it would no longer be possible to restrain gods and angels in the same way as before, so they changed their strategy and allowed gods to develop self-awareness.
But, on the one hand, they constantly inculcate loyalty to the gods and to the administrators.
To this end, they even specially arranged an administrator to be in charge of this matter. After years of indoctrination, these gods are extremely loyal to the many administrators, and dare not disobey the administrators' orders in the slightest.
At the same time, extremely harsh punishments were formulated. Even gods would be cruelly punished if they failed to complete the tasks assigned by the administrator. The punishment would deeply root the mark of fear in the deepest part of every god's soul.
It's a pity that these gods were automatically born from a system in Sky Island. Many administrators only have the authority to manage and use the system, but not the authority to change the system settings. Otherwise, if these gods were loyal to the administrators when they were born, things would be much simpler.
Moreover, because these gods were born in that special system, they could not implant prohibitions or the like into the souls of the gods.
It is precisely because of these various reasons that the administrators have to choose this troublesome method. On the one hand, they instill the idea of loyalty, and on the other hand, they instill fear. The effect of these two approaches is quite good. At least for thousands of years after the Second War of the Gods, there has been no betrayal of the gods.
At the same time, another idea is constantly instilled into these gods, telling them that the creatures in the lower world are just a group of ants that are worse than pigs and dogs, so as to prevent the gods from having inappropriate sympathy for the creatures in the lower world.
Once this compassion conflicts with the will instilled by the administrator, it is likely to cause some uncontrollable consequences.
It is for this reason that the gods generally look down on the creatures in the underworld. Whether they are dragons, giants, elves or humans, they are nothing more than ants in the eyes of the gods.
These gods are arrogant and domineering when facing angels, so one can imagine what attitude they will have when facing creatures in the lower world.
It is really difficult to choose one who is cautious and meticulous among them.
How about letting the Ice God go?
Suddenly, a figure appeared in the repairman's mind.
Although the Ice God has some bad tempers common to all gods, and most of the time he looks down on the creatures in the lower world, but at least he is calm enough and usually does not smile.
If I had given him more careful instructions, he wouldn't have made the same mistake as Benavidez, right?
Maybe.
…
Just as the repairman was racking his brains to select a suitable god from the underworld, some abnormalities occurred in another area.
It was a lifeless place.
Here, there is not a trace of life, only a dead silence like hell.
There were large and small pieces of things floating in the sky, like goose feathers, like snow, but the color was completely different from the white snow. It was gray and black, giving off a smell of decay and decadence. It was the ashes left after something burned.
There was clearly no flame burning around, but the ashes seemed endless, falling from the sky piece by piece.
They fell to the ground, covering it in thick layer upon layer.
This area is very wide, as wide as Sky Island. It is also very calm, without any fluctuations, just like the sea in winter, without any waves.
This place is like a plain that stretches as far as the eye can see, but on this plain, there are also huge protrusions. They are like mountains standing on the plain.
Suddenly, a mountain began to tremble.
Sheets of ash began to fall from the mountain.
At the top of the mountain, two huge cracks suddenly appeared, revealing a pair of scarlet eyes full of murderous intent.
The opportunity to interfere with the Dusk Continent...is here again!
…
The Church of Sbon.
Although Ron has left, the affairs of the Church have been arranged in an orderly manner.
Ron did not kill Barumong, the former king of the Spang Theocracy, and Balk, the head of the Copperfield family. After all, there was no irreconcilable hatred between them and Ron, and it had not reached the point of a fight to the death.
No matter how you look at it, Balk is the father of the original owner of Ron's body.
Although the original owner of the body had resentment towards Balke, he only blamed Balke for ignoring him and did not go to the extent of killing his father.
Barumonger is Lydia's father. Although Ron and Lydia are bound by a high-level contract document, Lydia will never betray Ron no matter what Ron does, but there is no need for Ron to forcibly draw a rift between himself and Lydia.
After all, the relationship between Lydia and her father Barumonger is actually quite good.
Although Lydia was somewhat dissatisfied with some of the things Barumonger had done, the relationship between father and daughter was still very deep. If Barumonger was killed casually, Lydia would definitely be very sad, which was something Ron did not want to see.
And these two people are also very sensible.
They could see that Ron consciously wanted to use Lydia's hand to suppress the power of the nobles...
No, it's more than that.
Barumong and Balk are not fools. They can see that Ron's ambition is exaggerated.
This can be clearly seen from what Ron did after his fame gradually grew. Let's take a look at what Ron did.
He personally pushed Dolores onto the throne of Queen, cleaned up the Granville royal family, and suppressed the Granville nobles. Although the Kingdom of Granville is still the same kingdom and its territory has not changed, the political system within the kingdom has undergone tremendous changes. The nobles and royal families can no longer monopolize all the power as before. Nowadays, every public position in Granville is held by the capable.
The benefits brought by this special political system are very obvious. The national strength of the Kingdom of Granville did not weaken due to the purge of the nobles. On the contrary, the national strength became stronger.
Even the number of newborns in the country has reached an unprecedented peak.
The people live and work in peace and contentment, and the soldiers' morale is high.
It seems to be a thriving situation.
Barumong and Balke are typical representatives of the royal family and the nobility. They are not stupid, but very smart.
They were reluctant to admit it, but they had to admit that Granville's changes might not be in the interests of the royal family and the nobility, but they were more in line with the interests of a country. The increasingly powerful Granville was the best proof of this.
Originally, the Theocracy of Spang looked down on Granville.
I feel that although Granville is extremely rich, they have long lost their wildness and are just a group of fat lambs.
They arrogantly believed that with the fighting power of the soldiers of the Spong Theocracy, they could easily raze Granville to the ground. But now, no matter whether Barumong was willing to admit it or not, if a conflict really occurred between the Spong Theocracy and the current Granville, it would definitely be the Spong Theocracy that would be razed to the ground.
That’s not all. Ron also has a very close relationship with the Church of the Goddess of Dawn.
He assisted Saint Christian and eliminated her husband, allowing Christian to dominate the Church of the Goddess of Dawn.
Recently, the White Saint and the Bloody Nun, who are both prominent in the Church of the Goddess of Dawn, have had very close relations with Ron.
It can be said bluntly that although the Church of the Goddess of Dawn is headed by Christian and the Kingdom of Granville is headed by Dolores, Ron is the real controller of Granville.
And this was just the first big thing Ron did.
Right after that, Ron carried out a series of operations and completely eliminated Pope Marcelino, Grand Saint Mireya, and Holy Son Ashburn of the Church of the Heart of Nature of the Spang Theocracy.
Believers in the church who were loyal to the Pope were also directly purged.
Saint Isabel directly became the most powerful person in the church.
Although there were many bishops and archbishops in the church who tried to take advantage of this opportunity to seize the power of the church, and some ambitious people even tried to marry Isabel and use her to become the highest authority in the church, all of these people died for inexplicable reasons.
Anyone who is not a fool knows what happened behind the scenes. Isabel's power in the Church of Nature's Heart is growing and becoming more and more stable.
As for the relationship between Isabel and Ron... well, on the surface there doesn't seem to be any relationship, but I heard that the two of them once booked a room in a hotel.
Not only the Church of Nature's Heart, Ron even directly pushed the third princess Lydia to the position of Queen of the Spang Theocracy, not to mention the relationship between Lydia and Ron.
In this way, Ron even became the actual ruler of the Spang Theocracy. All he lacked was the title of king, nothing more.
Two queens.
One was an accident, two were coincidences.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
What about three, or four?
Don't forget, Ron has a beautiful elf by his side, Mirabelle. This little elf is the deposed former queen of the elves.
It is obvious what Ron wants to do by keeping such a former queen by his side. Perhaps it won't be long before the Elf Forest is under Ron's control.
That’s not all. I heard that Bai Yuan, the sister of Bai Lan, the queen of the Orcs, seems to be Ron’s lover.
This time, Ron crossed the Dulles Mountains and headed for the Orc Territory, reportedly to help the Orcs solve a big problem.
By the time Ron leaves the Orc territory, I'm afraid the Orcs will become Ron's vassals.
Two human kingdoms, the orc territory, the forest of elves...
Combining this series of events, Barumong and Balk came to a conclusion that was unbelievable but reasonable: Ron, probably wanted to become... the ruler of the world.
He wanted to emulate the former twilight dynasty and create a unified country.
When the two thought about this, they suddenly felt that their guess was almost right. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why Ron took so much trouble to arrange so many things.
Eight thousand years.
Since the fall of the Twilight Dynasty, no one has been able to become the common ruler of the world.
Even if Ron wanted to accomplish such a great feat, it would be absolutely impossible to succeed in the eyes of Barumong and Balk.
But, even if they failed, so what? Ron's strength was too strong, and they were no match for him at all. So why not follow Ron's arrangements?
What's more, Ron had promised them that he would tell them how to break through the levels and become powerful warriors in the realm of destruction in the future. One of them is Ron's biological father, and the other is Ron's father-in-law. Even if it's just for this reason, they shouldn't fool themselves, right?
For Barumong and Balk, in this turmoil that is bound to happen in the Theocracy of Spang, what they have to do is to protect the interests of the royal family and the Copperfield family to the greatest extent possible while trying to gain Ron's favor.
Both of them are smart people. After figuring this out, they made a decision quickly.
Before Lydia returned to the capital of the Kingdom of Spang, Barumong directly issued an order as king, depriving all his sons of their right to inherit the throne and directly appointing Lydia as the next queen of the Kingdom of Spang.
The significance of Lydia coming to seize the throne is completely different from Barumong's voluntary transfer of the throne. Lydia's seizure of the throne was illegitimate and she was plotting to usurp the throne. By that time, maybe this prince or that prince would jump out and rebel in the name of maintaining the orthodoxy of the royal family.
Barumong's move of passing on the throne was equivalent to directly giving Lydia a legitimate identity. After that, no matter who started a rebellion, they would no longer have the right to do so.
Of course, even so, when Barumong's royal order was conveyed, it still caused a shock among the royal family and the aristocracy, and almost all the princes expressed dissatisfaction with Barumong's order.
In just a few days, thirteen princes rebelled with the support of the nobles they had recruited.
Some of them directly led troops to surround the palace, some quietly bribed the maids around Barumonger and drugged Barumonger, some hired killers to assassinate Barumonger, and some even planned to kill Lydia on the way back to the royal city.
Barumong was originally worried that Queen Lydia's position might be unstable, and he was worried that he would not be able to deal with these princes, and he also had to find a way to deal with those nobles.
After all, since they have decided to join Ron, they naturally have to do their best within their abilities.
What Barumong and Balk had agreed on was that before Lydia returned to the royal city, they would clean up all the mess, get rid of all the ambitious princes in the royal family, and deal with those restless nobles, so that Lydia could directly accept a well-managed kingdom.
This gave Barumong and Balke a good opportunity.
Even Barumong felt that his sons were too stupid. They wanted to seek that position, but they did not have the ability and character to deserve it.
They even forgot that in the Dusk Continent, strength is the most important thing.
They are all self-righteous fools without knowing it, thinking that they can become the son of destiny just because they are surrounded by a group of nobles, but they completely forget that in the Dusk Continent, strength is the key.
Barumong and Balk are both legendary eight-star masters. Although this kind of strength cannot be said to be invincible, it is definitely not something that can be forced to abdicate by a prince with a group of nobles.
Barumong did not care about the father-son relationship with these princes.
These people have already lost the mentality of a normal person due to their affluent life and flattery from others, so they don't know what kind of trouble they will cause in the future. If they accidentally offend Ron, it may even bring disaster to the entire royal family.
So Barumong directly executed all these people.
Balke, on the other hand, led the masters of the Copperfield family to suppress all the rebellious nobles. All the rebellious nobles were sent to the dungeon, and all the family's property and food were confiscated.
Just wait until Lydia ascends the throne, and then she will give an order to send all these nobles to the guillotine, and then issue another decree to distribute the wealth and food that these nobles have embezzled to the civilians. In this way, in a very short period of time, Lydia will be able to establish her prestige as a queen, and gain the loyalty of all the people of the Spang Theocracy, and no one will be able to shake her position as the queen.
Even on Isabel's side, the two of them helped to clean out all the clergy in the church who opposed Isabel or even plotted against Isabel.
In order to get Ron's guidance, the two of them had done their best, almost completely paving the way for Lydia to become queen. They only hoped that Ron would not forget what he had said before because of their dedication.
But suddenly all the work was done, and Barumong and Balk had nothing to do and felt extremely bored.
In the tavern, two people drank silently, and there was something weird in their eyes when they looked at each other.
"Tsk, I really didn't expect it, Barumong. You claim to be the most capable and wise king of the Spang Theocracy in thousands of years, but now you even kill your own son for a foreigner..." Balk's slightly sarcastic voice broke the awkward and silent drinking party.
Barumonger was not embarrassed at all when he heard this. He just curled his lips in disdain and said, "How can I compare to you? Tsk tsk, the patriarch of the Copperfield family even wiped out his own relatives. In terms of cruelty, I can't compare to you... You can even expel your own ancestor from the family tree."
Balk immediately lost interest, feeling that it was really meaningless to hurt each other like this. After taking a sip of wine, he couldn't help but speak again: "Hey, I don't know if Ron will appreciate all we have done..."
Before he could finish his words, Balk's expression suddenly changed, and he and Barumong on the opposite side stood up suddenly. When they looked at each other, they could see the shock in each other's eyes.
Right next to the two people's ears, a rumbling sound was coming from afar.
Could it be that there is another blind noble who dares to cause trouble in the royal city of the Spang Theocracy?
Could it be that the numerous heads that have been rolling around these days have not taught those foolish nobles a lesson? Subconsciously, the two rushed out the door at the same time, but as soon as they got outside, their faces suddenly changed, and they saw a scarlet beam of light falling from the sky in the distance.
