Chapter 658: War of Faith (2)
Bai Jinshu's vision gradually came into focus.
The world before his eyes was coated with a bloody color that made him feel unfamiliar. After a few seconds of getting familiar with it, he realized that this was not the color of the world before his eyes, but a layer of red halo that isolated his eyes.
Outside the aperture, there are two vague figures.
He raised his eyes and met the gaze of the older man standing on the right. As soon as their eyes met, the other person seemed to be burned by something, shuddered very quickly, and quickly lowered his eyes.
This instead made Bai Jinshu's mood, which was influenced by the false god, suddenly become high-spirited, and he looked even more unscrupulously.
The distance between the two parties was not far, and even if he lowered his head, he could see that the man had a classic Western face. Westerners generally look old, and this world is no more aggravated than the modern environment. Bai Jinshu roughly estimated based on his experience in real life that the man was about 40 years old, wearing a well-cut robe, and the diamonds on his collar were shining in the sun, so he should be of high status.
This "not low" does not refer to his identity as a priest in this ceremony, but to his position in this country.
Bai Jinshu's eyes swept over his fingers that were pinching the edge of the kraft paper. His fingers were trembling and turning white because he was suppressing his excitement too much. He didn't see any signs of labor on them.
It can be seen that apart from being a priest, he is most likely a noble or minister in this country.
Yes, Bai Jinshu had known for a long time that he would land in a festival. Even the fact that he landed here was actually because of the two of them, Huai Jiamu... or should we call them two gods now. This was something they had planned from the beginning.
Since there is already a god in this country and he has entered this unknown space long ago and has many operations in it, it would be the most unwise choice to rush in.
It would undoubtedly be a very foolish act to start a war between gods without knowing the strength of the other side and without exploring the situation of this copy.
Not to mention that their original plan was to bide their time.
So, after a brief thought, Bai Jinshu quickly thought of another power belonging to Huai Jiamu - replacement.
Instead of confronting each other head-on right away, it is better to hide under the opponent's influence and gradually transfer the opponent's beliefs to your own.
A festival is the perfect way to be immoral... No, it's an opportunity to usurp the throne.
After determining their next target, the two quickly chose their landing point and appeared accurately at the ceremony.
The people in the ceremony seemed to have not yet realized that the person appearing on the platform was not the Father God they believed in.
Except for the priest who quickly lowered his head, as the two people gradually became more united, the whispers in the audience suddenly quieted down at some point.
It was as if an unspeakable existence had suddenly descended upon this seaside square. Under the extreme majesty and pressure, everyone was involuntarily silent, unable to utter a sound.
After such silence lasted for several seconds, people realized that they had unconsciously lowered their heads that were looking towards the platform and put down their hands that were disrespectfully pointing towards the platform at some point.
The white hem of the dress swayed slightly in the wind, and the entire square was quiet with only the sound of waves hitting the rocks.
I don't know how long it took, or maybe only a short while, the priest on the platform moved again. But this time it was not the shadow in the circle of light, nor was it the priest with his eyes lowered.
The crown prince stretched out his hand and pressed it on the priest, and as he pressed down, the priest slowly knelt down with him.
Compared to the priest who had forgotten what to do, the prince was now much more respectable. When he knelt, the priest subconsciously used both knees, while the prince knelt on one knee with great piety and elegance.
The two men knelt down together, as if confirming the identities of the two figures that appeared on the platform.
The people in the audience were shocked for a few seconds, and they couldn't help but kneel down in unison following the actions of the two people on the stage.
"Eternal Father," the voice of the crown prince sounded on the high platform. Compared with the priest beside him who was already shaking unconsciously, his voice was much more stable, with a gentleness that Bai Jinshu was somewhat familiar with. "The tide rising from the end of the sea is your seal, and the stars falling from the dome are your lamps. We, your people, give thanks for this invisible but overflowing abundance. Please incline your ears and listen to our cry."
Bai Jinshu then shifted his gaze from the trembling priest to the crown prince in front of him.
This man had a face that was good enough to make him a god in the real world's entertainment industry. He had blond hair and blue eyes, and his skin was so transparent that you could almost see the blue blood vessels hidden underneath. Even under the sunlight, it did not reveal much healthy blood color, but instead highlighted the only bright color on his entire face, an astonishing blue.
Under his gaze, the Crown Prince did not tremble uncontrollably like the priest, but simply lowered his head slightly, slightly avoiding the god's overly naked gaze.
It makes the blood vessels on the back of the neck more obvious.
This person seemed to be covered in a piece of transparent white flesh, with the inside of the skin connected only by meridians. No matter what angle he was viewed from, he looked a bit creepy with his whiteness.
However, considering the inbreeding among European royal families and the inheritance of leukemia, the fact that this prince has a human appearance but only has too white skin is a blessing from his ancestors' good genes.
Bai Jinshu originally felt that the tone of the crown prince's speech reminded him a little of Yun Guang, but now that he saw his appearance clearly, he felt that they were not quite the same.
Even if we put aside the differences in appearance between races, Yun Guang is much healthier than him, although it is still unclear whether Yun Guang will get sick.
He was thinking about the similarities between the crown prince and Yun Guang, while Huai Jiamu next to him replied with ease: "Speak."
As expected of someone who had worked as an evil god before, he could find the key point of this long and confusing prayer at a glance - they wanted him to do things. Compared with him, a false god who had never been a true god in the true sense, his business proficiency was far higher.
The crown prince in front of the altar opened his mouth and uttered another long and difficult sentence. It took only three seconds for the evil god to say two more words: "Okay."
Don’t worry about whether it’s the real person or not. Generally speaking, for this kind of prayer, he just needs to keep saying yes.
Bai Jinshu listened silently to the conversation between the two for a while, and found that neither he nor the evil god could understand this style of writing where nine out of ten sentences were nonsense. So he threw all the tasks of responding to Huai Jiamu, and began to daydream, his thoughts silently drifting to the red halo around him.
If I'm not mistaken, the reason why the circle of light that appeared with them was red was because the false god had too strong a bloody smell.
Regarding the changes of this role, in his memory, he played this role when he was still in school. At that time, he was not famous and had just entered the industry. He was only slightly better than an extra. Naturally, he could not get any popular roles and was only assigned the male number n.
The protagonist of the story overcomes many obstacles, and the big boss is that thorn. His role is at best a thorn on the thorn. The only few opportunities for him to show his face are always for the protagonist. He is just an ordinary supporting role with little presence and no fashionable personality.
However, this crew has a lot of opportunities to perform. After all, there are not so many extras for you to use in the deep mountains and forests. The entire crew is reusing resources. The small actors who don’t have many shots are all pulled to be background extras. Today it’s Li Si and tomorrow it’s Wang Wu. It can be said that they fill in wherever there is a shortage of people.
The level of care put into the makeup and costumes can only be said to be slightly better than those produced on an assembly line, and it is almost entirely supported by Bai Jinshu's demeanor and face.
Who could have thought that a few years later, the then popular No. 1 male lead and the popular No. 2 male lead went hand in hand to operate sewing machines, the No. 1 female lead retired due to a scandal, the No. 2 female lead was banned for breaking the law, and among the entire crew, he, the No. 2 male lead, was the only one who became the best actor.
It was not known whether the director could not bear to see his masterpiece go to waste, or whether he was inspired by some expert and realized that he had to take advantage of the actor's popularity, so he quickly revised the script so much that it was unrecognizable and put it forward again.
The new script has nothing to do with the previous version except the names of the characters. The male No. N is now a strong and beautiful man who is not miserable. He was born with the curse of the Word Spirit and is respected and feared by others. Because of this special ability, he was sent to be raised by a respected elder. Unexpectedly, this elder is actually the previous boss, whose goal is to make the world a better place.
As we all know, when a villain says he wants to destroy the world, there is still a 50% chance that the world will survive. But if a villain says he wants to create a paradise where everyone is happy, then you have to be careful.
Anyway... under the guidance of the Boss, he successfully became the next Boss. With the godhood that his elders had snatched from nowhere, he began the road to destroying... uh, saving the world.
As a second-generation villain, he can only be said to be worse than ever. In the face of the final result, human lives and everything are just consumables for achieving a better tomorrow.
According to the director, this is the top character design that he summarized after reading countless villain literatures. It is a mixture of innocence and cruelty, evil and kindness, mercy and cruelty. It is the perfect combination of light and darkness, the fusion of angels and demons... Bai Jinshu thought that all these things behind him were just crazy. How could the villain bring out a little angel of truth, goodness and beauty? Although he claimed to save the world, Bai Jinshu felt from the bottom of his heart that this false god was a complete joke according to his understanding of the role.
And the director really made it fun.
In order to highlight the actor's coolness, in the new version of the movie he first treated the decent characters other than the protagonist as dogs, and then went undercover in the decent camp himself.
——Bai Jinshu was speechless at the director's genius when he saw this. All those characters who had no frontal shots and were just background extras were dug out and cut into several aliases of the boss. Old Wu next to him was shocked and turned around to ask him when he went to reshoot the scenes.
Next is the unlucky new protagonist, who is no better than the other decent characters. In the new version of the plot, he is deceived by the false god's savior and worships him all the time. It is not until the last ten minutes of the film that he finds out that the other party and his family are actually villains...
Why ten minutes? Of course it was because after cutting out all the scenes between Bai Jinshu and the leading actor who was already working on the sewing machine, only ten minutes could be cut out.
But from the plot that was changed all the way to the point where even their own mother couldn't recognize the characters, it can be seen that the director was completely immersed in his own art when editing this version of the film. After the leading male character was both imprisoned, the invincible AI face-changing and dubbing were immediately activated, and the process of completely changing characters was completely random.
So… in summary.
This so-called false god who is a combination of an angel and a demon... is actually a fun-loving person with a very vague sense of good and evil.
Bai Jinshu came back from his wandering thoughts. The conversation around him had reached its final stage. He listened attentively for a long time and finally summarized the useful information in the prince's words:
The celebration will last for seven days. During these seven days, all the people will come to the temple to express their admiration and gratitude to the Father God, and pray that the never-ending waves will always rush through Hydrania.
Hydrania is probably the name of the country.
Bai Jinshu: I understand. They are about to move into the home of this God of Tide and Plenty... What a long name! From now on, you will be called Poseidon. They are about to move into the home of this Poseidon.
But what is more important now is obviously not the landing point.
His vision turned in front of him and landed on a newly appeared transparent interface.
He said he was familiar with this thing, but if he said he was not familiar with it, he had not seen it for a long time. If he guessed correctly, this should be the barrage area of a live broadcast room.
You can even change your name.
...are you really copying the Investment Bank’s Novice Village?
Bai Jinshu twitched his lips silently.
When he first freely chose the landing point, he thought it was just a commonality between different god-level spaces, but now that this familiar live broadcast room appeared, he was almost certain that these two were definitely the work of the Foundation.
It is unknown whether they want to learn from the investment industry and pass on the responsibility of ownership of this space, or whether the foundation sees no profit and simply muddies the waters.
But the only thing he knew at the moment was... the Foundation had learned these two models and definitely had no good intentions.
In the former case, every participant can choose their landing point, reducing randomness to almost zero. Everyone carefully chooses their landing point to ensure that the interests of their initial territory are maximized.
As for the latter, there are many things that can be written on the barrage...
Before entering here, Bai Jinshu had heard that this space was also broadcasting live, but at that time he thought that only the exploration team members who could not enter it due to their lack of divine power and the teammates who had entered it were watching the fun, and they were still within the live broadcast framework of the foundation.
Now it seems that if the foundation does not release the live broadcast rights, his careful design of muddying the waters will be in vain.
Like the visualization of bullet screens in investment banks, the first thing that will happen is that all participants will be forced to become transparent, and all plans, actions, battles... will be shared by viewers through bullet screens. Outside of the [War of Faith], teammates who cannot enter without divine power also take on the task of collecting information and assisting in the battle.
Even if the camera position and the live broadcast room are indicated, this only adds a little privacy protection, which is almost non-existent. Almost no god will choose to turn off the live broadcast, after all, if it is turned off, it is equivalent to closing the channel for himself, his reinforcement teammates, and the outside world to receive information.
If everyone is broadcasting live, the information in the live broadcast room may not be credible. He and Huai Jiamu will pass on wrong information for their own plans, and other participants will also pass on false information. True and false, countless forces and sects are superimposed, and the information received and the content that each participant needs to deal with will increase exponentially. It is also a big problem to identify the credible content.
Now, the only thing to be thankful for is that he and Huai Jiamu were already the fourth or fifth batch of participants when they entered the [War of Faith]. There were no teammates participating in the battle, and they were just spectators who came to watch the fun. No one was interested in their small live broadcast room, which helped them to keep their entry into the arena.
However, this does not mean that the entry of contestants is about to end.
Among the number of live broadcast rooms visible in the upper left corner, new ones are appearing non-stop. In every corner of the world, countless pillars of light are lighting up, representing the arrival of gods.
A storm was about to come, the moon was hazy and the wind was blowing. These pillars of light flickered and fell on the land, just like the flames that had already splashed before a war began.
