Chapter 474 (Part 1)
"The activity is rampant... and it is highly compatible with Northern Ukrainian culture?"
In the cabin of the passenger ship, Dorothy looked at Beverly's response in the "Wenhai Hangzhi" in front of her, and a puzzled look appeared on her face. She didn't expect that a heretic of the Radiant Church would be so compatible with the traditional culture of Beiwu? Could they have some connection with the First Dynasty?
"What kind of organization is this so-called Savior Sect? What's their connection with Northern Ufica?" Dorothy continued to write puzzledly on the pages of "Wenhai Hangzhi", and a moment later Beverly replied in an instant.
"The Savior Advent Sect can be regarded as the most powerful branch of the heretical faith of the Glowing Light Church. They are different from the Three Saints Sect centered on the Holy Mountain. The Savior Advent Sect does not recognize that the Glowing Light Savior has differentiated into the Glowing Three Saints, and has not granted the Three Saints the right to look down on all living beings on His behalf. In the theory of the Savior Advent Sect, the Glowing Light Savior is still the supreme and noble existence in this world. He is the only true God and the only salvation. No one can replace Him.
"In the speeches of the Savior Advent Sect, they claim that the Three Saints are hypocritical demons, evil beings who use the name of salvation to fool people, and the Three Saints of Shenglin Mountain are the running dogs of the demons. They claim that one day the Glorious Savior will return to the world again to save the world, and at that time the hypocritical Three Saints and their followers will be destroyed, and the believers who are not deceived and truly believe in Him will be truly saved and enter His kingdom of heaven. This is the origin of the name of the Savior Advent Sect. Because this belief is very consistent with the original traditional beliefs of Northern Ufica, it has a great influence in Northern Ufica."
Beverly's handwriting was written on the pages of Dorothy's book. Looking at the handwriting in front of her, Dorothy couldn't help but have many thoughts in her mind.
'You don't recognize the Three Saints but only the Savior. You guys, I didn't expect that the gap between the Savior's Advent Sect and the mainstream of the Radiant Light Sect is quite big. The gap is so big that it can actually be called a heresy. This heresy that fundamentally violates the teachings of the Three Saints can be said to be a mortal enemy of Shenglinshan.'
Dorothy thought so in her heart, but at this time she still had some questions in her mind. With these questions in mind, she picked up the pen and wrote on the pages of "Wenhai Hangzhi".
"I have a rough idea of what the Jiufu Advent Sect is, but you said that this sect is compatible with the traditional beliefs of Beiwu. Wasn't Beiwu the domain of the First Dynasty? According to my research, the people there should all believe in the Judge of Heaven, which is a 'revelation' or something. How does the 'lamp' belief of the Glowing Jiufu fit in with 'revelation'?"
Dorothy wrote down her questions on the page, and a moment later, more of Beverly's printed words appeared in the Navigation Guide, explaining to Dorothy the relationship between the Northern Uffiga and the Savior Adventists. Her answer surprised Dorothy.
"Who said that the belief in the Judge of Heaven is consistent? The First Dynasty and the Judge of Heaven were things from the Second Era. They have been dead for almost 7,000 years, with a whole Third Era in between. Do you think any of the current Northern Ufricans still remember the Judge of Heaven and the traditions of the First Dynasty? They are just a bunch of dead souls and relics buried under the yellow sand.
“The Northern Ufrican traditional beliefs I was referring to were about another faith called the True Glory.”
"What a relief! What's that?" Seeing the inexplicable name of God appear in Beverly's response, Dorothy responded with a confused look, and Beverly quickly replied with a smile.
"The True Glory, or the True Glory, is a belief that was widely spread in northern Africa in the first few decades of this era. In this belief, the True Glory is the only supreme god in heaven and on earth, the source of light that saves the world, the master of all things, and a god universally believed in by northern Africa. At the beginning of this century, northern Africa had a strong influence and was an out-and-out secular religion at the time.
"When the Glowing Light Church spread from the チ continent to the North Wufeijia, due to the Glowing Light Church's tough missionary policy, the True Glory of the North Wu united to resist the invasion of the Glowing Light Church, and eventually several fierce holy wars broke out between the two sides.
"In the Holy War, although the Glowing Light Church had the upper hand, it also suffered great casualties. In order to reduce the cost, the Glowing Light Church adopted another method to preach to Beiwu, which was to incorporate the belief of the True Glory God into the Glowing Light Church system, so that the True Glory God and the Glowing Light Savior overlapped, and declared to the Beiwu people that the True Glory God is the Glowing Light Savior, and your God is also our God. In addition, as long as the original clergy of Chen Nuo's True Glory God convert to the Glowing Light Church, they can maintain their original status. They can still do their original clergy work in Beiwu, but they have to declare that they believe in the new title of the True Glory God, the Glowing Light Savior."
Beverly's handwriting quickly appeared in front of Dorothy. Looking at Beverly's responses, Dorothy was stunned. She obviously didn't expect that the church would come up with such a thing when it was preaching to Northern Ufija. This was similar to the method she taught Xia Shu to pretend to convert and disguise his faith. The difference was that Zhen Yao's faith was much stronger than Xia Shu's. It was strong enough to force the early Glow Church movements to make concessions to a certain extent and let the Glow Church movements come up with the method of overlapping beliefs, while Xia Shu could only do it secretly.
"The Radiant Church actually made concessions... It's incredible, but can the faith of the Radiant Church accept such concessions?" Dorothy continued to write on the page, and Beverly responded immediately.
"Of course you can. You may not know that the overlap between the True Glory and the Glowing Church is very high. The Glowing Church and the True Glory Church are very similar in every aspect, and they are even the extraordinary inheritance of the 'lamp'. It is not difficult to merge with each other. When the Glowing Church proposed concessions, the True Glory Church accepted them not long after. After that, the True Glory Church merged into the Glowing Church while maintaining a high degree of autonomy, and used the title of the True Glory as another name for the Glowing Church. The entire North Ufeijia region was incorporated into the Glowing Church's belief area."
Dorothy frowned slightly at Beverly's response, and then continued writing.
"You said that the True Glory Church and the Glowing Church... have many similarities, and both sides are even the inheritance of the 'lamp'? Why is there such a situation? What is the origin of the True Glory Church? Why is it so closely connected with the Glowing Church?" Dorothy continued to ask Beverly, but Beverly's response this time failed to explain the situation clearly.
"As for this... I'm not sure. The only thing I can tell you now is that the connection between the True Glory Church and the Church of the Radiant Light can be traced back to the Third Era, which is what the secret world often calls the Imperial Era. Although various religions flourished in the empire at that time, the most powerful one was the Imperial State Religion, which worshipped the Emperor as God.
"In the Third Age, the entire Kamasutra and Northern Ufija were under the rule of the Kamasutra Empire, which means that Northern Ufija and Kamasutra were both under the influence of the Empire's state religion in the Third Age. Both the Radiant Light Church and the True Glory Church seem to have connections with the Empire's state religion. Perhaps they are branches of the Empire's state religion after the end of the First Age. So the Radiant Light Church's statement that Radiant Savior and True Glory are essentially the same god may be true~"
Beverly's printed handwriting quickly appeared in front of Dorothy's eyes. Looking at these words that seemed to contain a lot of information, Dorothy couldn't help but stand there in a daze, with thoughts churning in her mind.
'The Third Age Empire... The Empire's state religion... This means that the True Glory Church and the Radiant Light Church are both very likely the continuation of the Empire's state religion in the Fourth Age? That's why the Radiant Light Church was able to merge with the True Glory Church.
