Chapter 949 The Temple is the Real Body of Yao God
Spacey spent the first twenty years of his life in the abyss. He was influenced by various secret societies since he was a child and joined the "Sealed Sect" very early.
After becoming a mentor who could offer directions, he could finally offer his own direction.
Now that we have a certain grasp of the Demon Seal, we have also accumulated a lot of knowledge about the symbol of death.
Why not try to analyze the seals of the gods?
A seal is a packaging structure of power. Different gods have different divine powers and fires of faith, so in theory, the power of gods can also be broken.
This view itself is not new, and many atheists are conducting theoretical exploration in this regard.
Unfortunately, there has been almost no progress so far. Even though the Shen element representing God has been found, research on the field of God is still stuck at the door.
Spacey uses this to introduce the following idea.
"My friends, I think it is very likely that gods do not exist."
"In other words, the god who represents supreme power and absolute truth does not exist."
He waved his arms passionately: "All the gods in the temple, even Lord Yao, do not exist."
"The true body of Yao Shen - I mean, the real Yao Shen is actually beside us. Every one of us has seen Him, but we have never thought that He is Yao Shen."
Of course, these words caused an uproar in the audience.
In the Sealed Sect where heretics emerge one after another, this statement is extremely bold and arrogant.
Spacey glanced at the crowd, waving his fingers as he explained his reasons: "As we all know, in theological terms, God is a trinity of faith, divine power, and miracles. It is through these three aspects that we recognize the existence and advent of God."
To know God, you must learn theology well.
Spacey majored in theology and history at the Puji Theological Seminary in Yaocheng, graduated with honors, and was invited to join the temple and the college.
He continued: "In it, the fire of faith is closely related to each of us and can react to the temple. It is a form of cultural connection and identification between people."
"Miracles are the special and amazing powers that gods possess. They are enough to change the world's environment, help people overcome difficulties, or punish people for their stupidity and chaos. This is also a manifestation of the power of gods."
"Among the three entities, the divine power is the most mysterious one. We can feel the coming of a certain god's will, but that will can only be felt and cannot be described in detail. The key to our feeling, as currently stated in the theological field, is the fire of faith in the body."
Spacey gestured, "This is how we know that a certain god's will has come, a certain god has been here, and divine power has appeared there. The source of everything is the power of faith, and gods are the powerful images outlined by the power of faith."
"With our own eyes, we cannot look directly at the gods. Not only can we not see clearly, but we will also be burned by their power. Even if the gods allow us to do so, what we see is only the external form of power presented by the gods. This is called an agent in theology."
"It is almost certain that the agent shown by Lord Yaoshen is the mysterious man named Huang Jia, and we all know him. Although the gods, the temples, and even the apostles have never acknowledged it."
"Other than that, God Yao has never appeared in any other way. I have checked the records in the temple from the tribal era to the present day, and there has never been a single time that God Yao descended in the form of a god."
Spacey paused for a moment, then said in a firm and steady tone: "Everyone, is there a possibility that the temple is the real body of Yao God?"
"When Lord Yao first appeared, he was in harmony with the temple. No matter how the times and environment change, the temple has never changed. Is the temple the true appearance of Lord Yao? Or is it the true form of all the gods of the Yao clan?"
There was a burst of discussion in the audience.
Spacey struck while the iron was hot: "So I suggested that we try this research direction, build an architectural wonder, and publicize their power, expand their reputation and influence, and try to create a god on earth."
This direction was not adopted.
The reason is that the cost is too high.
The Sealing Sect also has no way to obtain a wonder to conduct experiments.
The following year, when Spacey was 32 years old, he began his long prison life.
Jail time was unrelated to Spacey's research, although he was jailed several times, but mainly for fighting - fighting is part of the secret society's debating tradition and usually leads to quick release.
During one of his trips to the country of occult arts to participate in a secret society exchange, he was possessed by the illegal demon [Lord of Slaughter] Gracia Lapos, which resulted in the deaths of sixteen people and a river of blood at the scene.
After the incident, Spacey was detained for a long time. Although the shadow demon was removed, it might still make a comeback, and he was also a key observation target.
He felt the mockery of fate.
He was not punished by the gods for being a blasphemer, but instead fell into the demonic realm which the Sealing Sect was good at but he was not.
Seven years later, the 39-year-old Spacey was suddenly told.
"Lord Yaoshen has issued an oracle. If you are willing to participate in a special service, you can leave the prison, but you need to serve there for at least ten years. Can you accept it?"
Spacey was more concerned about: "Isn't the devil able to reach there?"
The agent who notified him simply said, "Accept it, or reject it?"
Spacey thought for a long time: "I accept it."
The prison food in the Resurrection Kingdom is terrible, not as good as the Abyss Prison, where they have bighorn sheep garlic fried rice, native chicken stew, and the prison culture is very rich.
The application for transfer to prison was not approved.
Try a different environment.
…
The place where Spacey served had no name and was called the "Work Area".
This place is divided into squares, which are very far apart from each other.
The job of a soldier like Spacey is to repair roads in the grid and complete dilapidated buildings, or build new ones to ensure that existing structures can be maintained.
The soldiers in each square cannot leave their work area, and there is an invisible border around them.
Strangely enough, after arriving in this world, Spacey's mind suddenly had images like blueprints. It was as if he had already known how these things should be built, and now the memory was just being awakened.
Dozens of people were sent along with him. They were divided into many groups, each with four people, responsible for one square.
Spacey's co-workers include a skinny monk, a tall man who curses, and a skeletal ancestor.
The monk's name was Huixin. Although he looked skinny, he was tough and strong. He often beat another tall man because he felt that the man talked too much and was annoying, which affected his practice.
Huixin said: "Wisdom comes from the fist, which is also a kind of practice to make the body and mind transparent."
The man he beat up was called Yan Li, a former guard at Yancheng Bathhouse, who was imprisoned for stealing money from customers. He was the same prisoner as Spacey.
Yan Li came here to serve simply to get out of prison earlier. His sentence was as long as 44 years, and serving in the prison could reduce his sentence.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
When Spacey heard it for the first time, he felt incredible: "According to the existing standards of the Yao Kingdom court, the maximum sentence for stealing is usually 20 years. How much did you steal?"
Speaking of this, Yan Li couldn't stop talking: "Don't mention it. I have really bad luck, really, I thought it was just a little money. A decent person carries some money in his clothes, right? Everyone has to carry some money, to buy food and drinks, to ride in a train or horse-drawn carriage, even to give a little tip to street performers, to find girls, everyone will carry some..."
"But how could I know that the stack of money I got was a list of names of an illegal secret society?"
"Who would bring something like this to a bathhouse? Of course I spent the money, and then I was locked up by the police station. They said that it was because of me that they failed to catch all the people. Is this my fault? I just took a little tip. What does arresting people have to do with me? Don't you think I am right? I am really unlucky."
"Be quiet." Huixin warned with her eyes.
The corners of Yan Li's mouth twitched, but he finally said nothing.
Finally, there is Frodo, the First Man of Bones.
It is the most normal among the crowd. It is an architect of the Resurrection Kingdom and has many years of construction experience in the field of bone engineering.
Each work area will be equipped with a Skeleton Ancestor, who is the instructor of each service team.
It records the progress of local construction, prepares various necessary materials, tools, three meals a day, clothing, food and shelter, and even builds a four-person house. Frodo communicates with the servants all the time to understand their needs.
Huixin asked for books and a wooden man for practicing boxing.
Yan Li wanted to see something energizing, such as the summer men's illustrated guide that was currently selling well on the black market - it contained pictures of all kinds of charming and hot girls of all ethnic groups, each of them wearing very little clothing, which was very refreshing.
Spacey wanted bighorn sheep and free-range chicken, two local delicacies, and he was more interested in the latest developments in blasphemies, monsters and wonders, which were usually only published in the newspapers in each city library.
He suggested: "Frodo, can you apply for a wind mother for us? Even the most basic model?"
"If I had Feng Mu, I could watch monks debate and give lectures, watch real-time entertainment programs, and get the latest news directly."
Huixin and Yanli both agreed.
Frodo said to him, "Go and try it."
A month later, the application was approved.
From that time on, Huixin and Yanli treated Spacey very well because he got good things for everyone and was very smart.
The only problem is that everyone will start fighting over the mother of wind again, and everyone wants to watch the show they want to watch.
Fortunately, the three people's interests do not overlap. At noon, it is the time for news from various worlds. In the afternoon, it is the time for the monks' daily practice and the [Southern Continent Sutra Chanting], and after nightfall is the late-night entertainment program. Everyone quickly reached a consensus.
But the work is not easy.
Frodo told everyone: "The work area will be assessed every year. If the assessment does not meet the basic standards that year, the supporting facilities such as the wind mother will be cancelled the next year, and you need to apply again."
No one was lazy.
This place is magical. Everyone feels like they have returned to their familiar hometown and they can't help but feel very enthusiastic about working.
Everyone can also see each other's level.
Huixin and Spacey are both LV1 servants, Yanli is LV2, but Frodo does not have this title.
Once you are promoted to LV10, you will become a captain and receive a generous pension.
When you reach LV20, you will become a trainee apostle and be in line for promotion to a formal apostle.
This treatment makes everyone work even harder, and everyone wants to compete for this best opportunity at the moment.
Even Spacey discovered that Yan Li would secretly go to build walls after watching the show in the middle of the night to increase the progress bar above his head - this is how he maintained his lead in the rankings.
This made him feel a little magical.
I originally thought that I was being exiled to a hard place, but now it seems that apart from the fact that there are not many people and it is very confidential, life here is more comfortable than in most cities.
You have to serve for ten years anyway.
Spacey began to think about finding a way to effectively improve everyone's work efficiency.
