Chapter 189 Response
"Did the god of steam and machinery...promote the steam revolution?"
In No. 32 Green Shade Town, after listening to Beverly's words, Dorothy murmured thoughtfully that if what Beverly said was true, then this core of the order was very likely the god who would look at her after she activated the internal combustion engine.
'If what Beverly said is correct, then the steam revolution was triggered by this God of Machinery through the key inventors inspired by Him, so He was the direct promoter of the First Industrial Revolution. If there is a person in this world who invented the internal combustion engine, which is the key to the Second Industrial Revolution, without being inspired by Him, then it would be strange if He didn't pay attention to him.
"According to the rumors Beverly told me... this Mechanical God is a revolutionary God. He will not be satisfied with the current civilization. When He deems it appropriate, He will trigger the next technological revolution. In other words, now is not the 'right time' as He deems it, so the invention of the internal combustion engine is not allowed to appear?"
Dorothy thought to herself that after her talk with Beverly, she had a completely new view of the world and its gods.
'Poison identification defines knowledge and distinguishes between mundane and secret knowledge. But which knowledge is mundane and which is secret? ... The power of definition may be in the hands of gods. Those gods may be able to influence the coverage of poison identification. For now, technologies such as internal combustion engines are defined as secret, which may be influenced by the core of the order.
'When I was reading medical books before, I found that in this world of the steam revolution, medical treatment was so advanced that it even had antibiotics! This proves that knowledge related to antibiotics does not have the ability to identify poisons. Is this also influenced by a certain god?'
Dorothy thought so. Although she could not confirm for sure that it was the gods who defined the poison recognition range, at least there must have been some influence. She could feel that the world was what it was today and it was inseparable from the will of the gods.
"By the way, you mentioned that ten years ago, the Heart of Order was just a craftsman god, and he forged weapons for Radiance during the Battle of Dawn... Does the Radiance here refer to the Radiance Savior?"
Dorothy continued to ask Beverly, while Beverly answered by crossing her legs and taking a sip of motor oil.
"Generally speaking, all scholars who study this myth believe this, but myths are just hearsay. People who are not involved in the story have no idea what happened at that time. The 'glory' and today's 'glory savior' may be the same concept, or they may be slightly different... No one can be sure of the details of the myth."
Beverly finished her response, and Dorothy spoke again after a moment's hesitation.
"If the myth you said is true, then the core of the Order may be an ally of the Glorious Savior. However, the Glorious Church did not even publicize it. To this day, the faith has only recognized the Three Saints. As an ally fighting together with the Glorious Savior, now it is like a suppressed pagan. There is not a single church in public places. Isn't this a bit unfair?"
Dorothy continued to ask, in the teachings of the Church of the Glow, the Glow Savior is the one who wins the Dawn War and drives out evil spirits alone, and there is no mention of allies. Instead, the legend of the King of the Glow mentions that he has allies. From this point of view alone, the "Glow" in the core mythology of the Order seems to be closer to the King of the Glow.
"Well... who cares if he is kind or not? In fact, only the 'Deng' family needs large-scale belief. Others do not have much requirements for belief. If the Radiant Church recognizes the existence of other gods, it will inevitably divert many beliefs, so it is understandable that they do not recognize it."
Beverly waved her hand and spoke in a nonchalant manner. Listening to her words, Dorothy frowned slightly and then continued speaking.
"Only the 'lamp' requires large-scale faith... Is there any relationship between the 'lamp' and faith?" Dorothy asked with a frown, and Beverly responded with some surprise.
"Don't you know? The main aspect of 'Lamp' is faith. Many gods in other realms have churches in the real world, but this is mainly to expand their influence in the real world and to drive believers to execute their oracles. They don't expect to get anything from the believers. But 'Lamp' is different. The gods of 'Lamp' can indeed gain power from the faith of believers. The more believers there are, the stronger their faith is, and the stronger their power will be.
"This is why the Radiant Cult places so much importance on faith. Its sphere of influence spreads across the world, and it is the main reason why it is the only official faith in the secular world. Because they can truly transform faith into divine power. With the common faith of billions of believers around the world, the Radiant Cult should be the most powerful among the gods in the other world."
Beverly said so. After hearing her words, Dorothy was slightly startled, and then she remembered the way the clergy in the Church of Radiance accumulated spirituality. Their devout prayers to the Three Saints seemed to increase the power of the Three Saints, and the Three Saints in turn directly gave them spirituality. It could be said to be mutually beneficial.
Of course, the source of the power of the Three Saints is definitely the faith of billions of ordinary people. Compared with the faith of many ordinary people in various countries, the prayers of the clergy in the Church of Glory may just be used to test their piety.
In this case, the motivation of the Church of Radiance to become the largest official institution to maintain the stability of the secular world is clear, because the faith of ordinary people is very important to them, so they will inevitably maintain the order of the world to a certain extent.
After listening to Beverly's words, Dorothy thought that she was very satisfied that she could learn so many things from Beverly this time.
"Well...thank you very much. This information is very useful to me. By the way, you are not going to ask for another wave of intelligence fees, are you?" Dorothy asked Beverly, and Beverly shrugged in response.
"Intelligence fee? This information is not top secret and it is not worth paying for. Besides, we made a lot of money last time relying on your intelligence. Now you are my VIP customer. As a VIP, this little intelligence is free~"
Beverly waved her hand and said this. Dorothy was actually moved after hearing her words. She thought that if your father had this kind of information, he would have to sell it for at least 60 pounds.
"In that case, thank you in advance. I have almost finished what I came here for today, so I will leave now. Goodbye, I will treat you to some oil next time."
Dorothy had asked all the questions she needed to ask and was about to say goodbye to Beverly, but at this time Beverly spoke again.
