Kong Ze's words made several people's breathing stagnate.

If the evil god had not appeared, it would seem to be just a matter of choice.

There are always some people who choose more powerful power and abandon their emotions as human beings. This is normal. Even among humans who do not make this choice, many people are emotionally indifferent.

But at the moment when the evil god appeared.

In human eyes, this change can be described in only two words - distortion.

Abandoning human self and human emotions is equivalent to surrendering to the evil god and becoming the enemy of the rest of the people. Think about the so-called "initiation ceremony" just now, did they really have the qualifications to choose?

Others may not know, but Warren knows himself very well. He will never abandon his emotions to seek the so-called power. This is why he still has such a deep impression of Berkeley, and why he made the soul of his dead daughter into an artificial core and sought to restore his daughter's human emotions.

But just now, no, even now, his self was distorted, and he even began to feel that abandoning emotions and integrating into nature was the sublimation of life and soul.

"We... may need some time to recover." Warren finally said in a hoarse voice.

Now he understood why such strict selection and training were needed.

Ordinary people are simply unable to recognize the distortion of themselves, let alone restore their cognition through will and emotion.

"Take this as a warning and keep it in mind. Even if you are facing an ordinary, weak person, with the power of the evil god, it will have an impact on you that cannot be ignored. If you are not careful, you will fall into the real abyss!" Kong Ze said in an emphasizing tone, and then suddenly became much more relaxed. "In short, your main task is to study. Now sit down and digest the information carefully."

"So there is already intelligence?" Warren sighed in his heart, and then quickly adjusted his state.

Sit up with the other four people.

Even though John was still sad about the damage to his alchemy doll, he would refocus his attention at this time.

"As you can see, almost everyone in this country has become a believer of the Four Gods, and their main ability is the ritual. Just like what we did just now, they can force the initiation ceremony. According to the information we have discovered so far, as long as you find any believer who shows a desire to join the religion, then neither he nor you will be allowed to regret it, and everything will happen." Kong Ze narrated the information he had obtained.

Warren also grasped the point at this time and asked, "Is it the non-believers who are actively asking, rather than the believers who are actively absorbing?"

"That's right." Kong Ze confirmed this.

"But if that's the case, aren't we restricting ourselves?" Warren frowned slightly. "Judging from the weird initiation ceremony, as long as we let these believers go out and actively recruit people, almost no one will be able to escape. They will expand exponentially in the shortest possible time."

If the Four Symbols Gods Cult, or the evil god, wanted to expand its influence, this seems to go against that purpose.

Even Berkeley only slightly raised his eyebrows, obviously not understanding it.

But Kong Ze shook his head and said, "This is what I want to tell you. The power of the evil gods determines that they are far smarter than humans. Even from the beginning, they have been standing on the best outcome."

"The reason is actually very simple." Kong Ze seemed a little disappointed when he saw the reactions of these people, but he still explained, "I have already said that the evil gods expand their power through humans, which is just the unspoken rule of 'peaceful competition' within their group. If this Four Evil Gods adopts the method you mentioned, what will be the result?"

"This cult will become the target of attack by all forces in the world." Berkeley said in a hoarse voice.

Warren also understood at this moment.

It’s a simple answer indeed.

Precisely because the power of this cult is so strong and so strange, no one in power in the world can tolerate the unlimited expansion of such a force, not to mention that the forces of other evil gods will not allow this evil god to dominate alone.

From the very beginning, we were standing on this "result", so did we impose such restrictions on the "cause"?

"The way this evil god expands its power is actually similar to the evil god behind Brian. They both use power and knowledge to attract people to join." Kong Ze's eyes fell on the severed hand that John placed on the table, and continued, "You have personally experienced the characteristics of its power, which is ritual."

"Ritual?" Everyone repeated the word silently.

"Yes, through the ceremony." Kong Ze also emphasized, "The so-called doctrine of the Four Symbols God Religion is to tell the birth, growth, and essence of the Four Symbols Gods, and each part of it has a strong ritual significance. Joining the religion starts with the 'Four Symbols Wind', and the ceremony is carried out through language narration and actual simulation. Once the ceremony begins, it will manifest a power that is almost a rule, and when the ceremony is completed, it can also achieve a variety of powerful and magical effects."

"Wait..." Warren seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and said in horror, "Doesn't this kind of power require the user to have psychic powers and reach the corresponding extraordinary level?"

"Yes, there is no need." Kong Ze gave this truly terrifying answer, "Anyone, even a child, can unleash the sixth-order destructive power as long as they study the 'ritual' from that doctrine! This is a power that completely violates the extraordinary rules. It is the power bestowed by the evil god on the ritual!"

"hiss--"

Everyone, including John and Berkeley, took a deep breath.

In this mysterious world, no matter what the inheritance or profession, basic rules must be followed.

That is the sublimation of the extraordinary class.

Everyone starts out as an ordinary person, then ascends step by step, gaining more and more powerful powers.

But here, people don’t need practice, talent or opportunity.

They only need to study the legends of the gods, and then use the powerful power through the rituals that simulate the gods! This is even more exaggerated than the production and evolution of alchemical dolls! "If this is the case, this country, no, this Four Elephants God Religion, should have ruled the world long ago." Warren said in an extremely dry voice at the end.
