Struggle in the Steam Age
Chapter 201: The secret of the gods
In front of a huge pyramid, Lawrence carried the doll Nara on his shoulders, thinking nervously, and in front of him, hundreds of jackals all stood there respectfully, full of admiration and envy. Staring at him with longing eyes, no one even blinked.
"Okay, I thought of one." Looking at this little doll happily holding the book charm that she just called out of the space bag in her hand, playing with the book charm like a child playing with a puppet. together. Lawrence suddenly saw a familiar shadow from his previous life in Nora's long brown curly hair, red and green eyes, and a green Bavarian-style natural Lolita dress with a white lace turban.
"What is it?" Nora asked with curiosity, immediately holding Shumei in her arms. "Let me listen, if I am not satisfied, I will still ask for a change."
"You will definitely be satisfied." Lawrence smiled on his face. "What do you think of the title of Heart of Jade? It matches your image and your abilities, and it sounds good."
"Heart of Jade--" Nara lowered her head and thought for a while, then turned to look at Lawrence, with a bright smile on her face. "Ah, this name sounds very nice, and both the meaning contained in it and the origin of the name are in line with my current situation. This will be my honorable name in the future."
Having said that, she let go of the book charm and floated in front of Lawrence, and then spoke in a clear and loud voice to the jackals in front of her. "From today, my honorific title is the Heart of Jade Jade. I hope you will remember this honorific title in the future."
"See the Jade Heart of my lord! The noble and great jackal protector." The jackal below got excited immediately after receiving Nora's answer, and then went to worship for another week.
"Fortunately, the clan **** of the jackal, Hanubis, the **** of death in the ancient Nile civilization, has long since fallen, and the Habi **** who previously protected them has also fallen. Now they no longer have a race god. Guardian, so under this premise, accepting a large group of jackals as believers will not come to ask for trouble, otherwise it will be miserable to be regarded as a false god." After hearing this group of jackals call Nora, Lawrence felt that it was a little bit Fortunately.
In this world with gods, all gods are very vigilant against false gods who preach illegally. Because, except for a very small number of powerful transcendents who are worshipped by people, most of the false gods are powerful people in the lower planes like **** or purgatory, or some want to take shortcuts or simply pretend to be a ghost for their own benefit. A guy who pretends to be a god.
Obviously, the existence of this type of guy will only bring serious harm, but will not bring any benefit. Therefore, churches are often very wary of such things from happening. Especially in the various races with racial gods, this is especially important.
And now Nora is acting like a false god. Fortunately, her honor is only the shelter of the jackals, and the believers are only jackals. So as long as she doesn't go to other races to preach without permission, and don't engage in any irritating things, the gods of other races will also be regarded as blind.
Not to mention that Nora has another identity as the soul of the earth, and human society allows the belief of the soul of the earth to exist. For example, in Lawrence’s memory, there are many places in the memory of each year before the sowing, after the harvest, and some important days. The lively ritual is like offering sacrifices to the local souls of the earth and the spirits of the ancestors. There are even some recognized spirits of the earth and ancestors who can imitate churches to build their own churches and cultivate believers.
In fact, when he first crossed over, Lawrence was indeed taken aback by the tolerance of the gods of the civilized races in this world. After all, in many books he had read before, the gods often value faith extremely, and they wish that everyone in the world would believe in themselves, and would never allow all kinds of things to come out to grab faith.
Fortunately, after he asked Peter, who had just become an official priest, he learned that the gods of this world belonged to a civilized race allowed a part of the souls of the earth and the spirits of ancestors to establish churches, cultivate believers and even become The most important reason for the gods is that the barbaric power in this world is too powerful.
As a result, not only the various civilizations and races as ordinary people need to stay together for warmth, but even the gods need to unite together to face various problems and crises.
On the other hand, this world has a huge area. At the same time, countless astral planes are connected. In this case, as long as you are willing to spend time training, you can always open up a source of faith from the wilds, and for the gods, they are most lacking in waiting time.
Not to mention the most important thing is that ordinary people in this world except clergy tend to believe in multiple gods, and the largest number of shallow believers and true believers can also provide faith for multiple gods, and only a very low proportion of devout believers Harmony believers believe in a single god. Therefore, the gods of this world are obviously much gentler than the gods that Lawrence has learned from literature and games in his previous life, and they rarely cause conflicts or even wars because of this outbreak.
Even so, there are not many souls of the earth or ancestors that can obtain permission from the various Orthodox churches to preach. Because in order to avoid the birth of evil gods and even some more dangerous things, the major churches are very strict in reviewing this aspect.
Just as Lawrence was thinking about these things, the jackal’s visit was over, and then the leading white jackal ordered his subordinates to bring out a very ornately decorated large table that needed 64 people to lift and invite Nara to sit on it. Go to the temple in front of the pyramid.
But this kindness was rejected by Nora, and finally the little doll sat on Lawrence's shoulders and walked into this huge temple under a group of jackals with an average height of 2.5 meters.
After entering the temple, Nora floated to a beautifully carved stone platform in the center of the temple in the welcome of these jackals, and then the temple and the square in front of the temple were filled with jackals and started a very formal In the prayer ceremony, he worshipped Nora flying on the stone platform while singing various hymns.
It's just that Lawrence heard that these ballads are simply replacing the old hobbit titles of the old hobbit hobbies with the titles of Nora.
"Long live, the heart of jade! You appear on this land, making the land rich and giving life to everything on it. The journey down from heaven, the master of the Nile, the planter of papyrus and lotus, the fertile land The giver of the Jackal, the shelter of the Jackal, teaches us how to fish with nets and spears. You teach us to dig ditches and irrigate farmland. The heart of jade, you brought life to every family—"
The jackals came to Nora in batches to salute respectfully, and then put their hands on their chests and prayed sincerely. Lawrence could feel that invisible threads stretched out from these pious jackals and connected to the puppets~lightnovelpub.net~ This should be the line of faith in the legend.
It is a pity that now the little doll has neither a godhead nor a **** fire, and the transcendent level is not high. So basically it is impossible to make perfect use of the power of these beliefs. And she didn't want to directly absorb the power of faith like some guys whose brains are completely flooded, and gain temporary power at the cost of cutting off the future.
Fortunately, she was still a soul of the earth who was born with a divine nature, so she simply injected these precious powers of faith into the astral plane. With the help of the various frictions between this astral plane and the extraterrestrial world, it wipes away the impurities that exist in the beliefs, and then harvests the power of pure belief that can be used directly.
This is actually a very inefficient practice, because the gods can directly use the fire of the gods to temper the power of faith. But for Nora, who has no divine fire for the time being and is not in a hurry to ascend to the gods, this kind of power-of-faith collection plan with only 1/10 left after tempering is the best plan for her.
At the same time, these impurities in the power of belief can reduce the erosion of the astral plane by various turbulences in the astral world, and reduce the energy consumption of the plane itself from another aspect. It can be used to increase the concentration of magic power on the astral plane when Nora is currently unable to modify the rules of the bottom layer of the plane because of the low transcendent level.
