"Did you forget something?"
“Whoever contributes the most to the reconstruction of Jerusalem should have more management rights.”
After hearing Lin Ke's words, everyone present just looked at each other, not understanding why the Saint Pharaoh asked this question.
After hearing this, the Hebrew representative only spoke cautiously to test the waters.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, are you saying that we have overlooked some important project?"
“Don’t the greatest contributions refer to who has given the most to Jerusalem?”
Representatives of Eastern sects also put forward speculations at this time.
"Perhaps what Saint Pharaoh said is some kind of key technology?"
When Lin Ke heard everyone's speculations, he just shook his head.
He looked around at everyone again and simply repeated loudly what he had just said.
“Whoever contributes the most to the reconstruction of Jerusalem should have more management rights.”
This sentence is like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.
Several representatives looked shocked and were unable to fully understand the meaning for a moment.
“It’s not just the right to worship, it’s the right to decide.”
Lin Ke explained, and then continued to walk towards the city of Jerusalem.
“Who will make the rules for Jerusalem in the future? Who will lead religious activities? Who will decide the direction of the city’s development? The answers to these questions depend on the person who contributes the most.”
After hearing Lin Ke's words, everyone seemed to gradually understand that what the Saint Pharaoh said seemed to be something more important than the right to worship.
Previously, everyone's focus was on how to gain more opportunities for worship, while ignoring the deeper issue of power.
Now Lin Ke points out that reconstruction is not only a way to obtain religious privileges, but also the key to fighting for control of the city.
In a sense, it was almost like the Holy Pharaoh gave up the fruits of his victory, allowing everyone to fight over them.
The Hebrew representative's eyes immediately lit up.
"In this way, won't the team that takes the lead in the early stage have an absolute advantage in future decision-making?!"
Lin Ke responded without even turning his head: "This is exactly the meaning of the incentive mechanism. Pioneers can not only get rewards, but also rebuild the rules."
“This is consistent with the operating rules of the real world, which is that the more you invest, the greater the returns and the greater the impact.”
When some people heard Lin Ke's words, they just looked dazed.
They just kept mumbling words like "investment" and "return", and then looked confused.
After hearing Lin Ke's affirmation of the Hebrew side's words, the Arab leader began to refute with a little excitement.
"Your Majesty, the Holy Pharaoh!"
"But this means that groups like us, who have a weaker starting point, will never be able to catch up!"
"We are outnumbered to begin with! We are already at a disadvantage! This is something we are powerless to do right now and simply cannot do!"
“And once stewardship is established, subsequent resource allocations will further exacerbate inequality.”
"If this is the case, wouldn't it allow the Hebrews to take Jerusalem back again? You should think twice, Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh!"
Although the Arab leader's words were harsh and his emotions were volatile, Lin Ke still did not look back.
"You are right."
The Holy Pharaoh simply responded calmly, and his pace did not speed up or slow down.
"But isn't that the case with everything in the world?"
"The strong prey on the weak. The strong write history, while the weak become dust."
“Only when life and death are at stake, or when one is truly facing an invincible existence, can one truly appreciate the fragility of life.”
"In times of peace, charity from the powerful to the weak will only make them lose themselves in temporary comfort."
"The weak cannot distinguish between illusion and reality, and the gifts of the strong may also be trampled upon by the weak."
Lin Ke's words became increasingly confusing to everyone.
However, although they couldn't understand, they could smell a hint of danger.
What the Holy Pharaoh just said seemed to contain some kind of warning.
Therefore, many people who realized the danger just looked at each other in bewilderment.
And in the distance, the voice of the Holy Pharaoh was heard again.
"So, in other words."
"You, and the Hebrews, and any other kingdom of this world, are all the same to me."
Lin Ke didn't respond, but turned and walked towards the center of the city.
His back was as straight as a pine tree, and his steps were steady and powerful.
The armor and robe sparkled in the sun, like a moving sculpture.
Everyone couldn't help but follow his gaze, watching his figure gradually moving away.
At this moment, the representative of the Eastern Church seemed to be thinking about something with a frown on his face.
"Could it be that His Majesty the Saint Pharaoh meant that..."
“Shall we fundamentally change our strategy?”
“So! We cannot switch from simply competing in quantity to competing in quality. Instead of completing surface projects in a short period of time, we should create truly valuable core projects!”
“For example, repair and improve the water system in the center of the city so that it can not only serve current residents, but also support future population growth!”
"Or rebuild a multi-functional bazaar that can both promote commercial prosperity and become the hub of Holy Egypt!"
Nan Tong listened to their words at this time, and unconsciously held his forehead with one hand.
Obviously, those guys didn't seem to have any interest in His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh at all.
Just as everyone began to discuss what the Holy Pharaoh said, Lin Ke had already arrived at the center of Jerusalem.
He stood on a slightly higher platform, overlooking the people around him who were still busy.
His golden eyes reflect the current situation and future of the city, as well as those who are still exploring the true meaning of "contribution".
But in Lin Ke's opinion, their contribution at this moment is just as insignificant as that of ants.
Because the gap between today's Holy Egypt and them is already huge.
In their eyes, rebuilding Jerusalem was an arduous and time-consuming task.
Of course, in such an era, this was a daunting task even for the powerful Hebrew Empire.
It would probably take hundreds of thousands of slaves working day and night to complete its construction within a few months.
But Lin Ke is different.
He possessed power that they could not imagine.
It's not just the power of the civilization panel, but also the power of the gods.
Just one of them is a huge difference between heaven and earth for them.
Lin Ke slowly raised his arm, and then his voice resounded throughout the ruins of Jerusalem.
"Supreme God, Osiris, Lord of the Underworld, obey my orders!"
"Use your divine power to restore the entire city of Jerusalem!"
As Lin Ke's voice fell, he threw a piece of parchment with a pattern drawn on it towards the Supreme God.
