Working Prophet.

Chapter 102 From Green Field to Pingdingshan

The past week or so has probably been the busiest time since Li Yu joined the new company.

On the one hand, he needs to make a plan for the development of the church territory, and this part of the work has actually started very early.

Whether it was wandering around to open a map, collecting information on various animals, plants and minerals in the green field, chatting with all kinds of people near Teacup Castle, and understanding the customs and productivity levels on Bratis, it was actually for This is doing research.

This is also Li Yu's long-standing work habit.

Only by investigating the problem clearly first can we prescribe the right medicine and give a corresponding solution, instead of doing things dullly as soon as we come up. It seems that we have worked hard, but the result is often half the result with half the effort.

It is precisely because of the good foundation laid earlier that Li Yu was not in a hurry even when the lizardmen migrated from the swamp and he picked up thousands of believers for nothing, and he quickly revised and formulated a new one. plan.

Let these lizardmen settle down quickly in the new land and put them into production.

Among them, the cooperation of Onond, the leader of the lizard people, played a big role, but the most important thing was Li Yu's own prophetic status, which made the lizard people obey him.

However, the way the lizard people worshiped Saturday was still the same way they worshiped Sosokus before, only with a different name, and Li Yu banned some of the extraordinarily brutal and bloody ceremonies.

If Li Yu doesn't plan to continue to develop new believers, but just wants to guard the life of this group of lizardmen, it's not a big problem.

Anyway, the lizard people are quite solid, and the faith that should be given is not lacking.

But Li Yu is obviously not satisfied with just staying in such a peaceful corner, his goal is to let everyone on the whole continent come to believe in Saturday.

He must therefore create a wider and more advanced religion.

He started preparing for this part of the work even earlier. Since he joined the job, he has been actively looking up relevant information, and constantly adding and revising it based on the actual situation on the Bratis continent. Now the basic framework has finally been completed.

Regarding the definition of religion, in fact, the relevant academic circles have not been able to reach a broad understanding until now.

When defining, due to the different emphases of each person, we tend to overemphasize its characteristics in a certain aspect.

But most of the world's religions are made up of all four factors.

First of all, concepts and ideas, that is, the self-explanation of religion and a unique world view extended from it, which is the cornerstone and core of the entire religious system.

It was also the part where Li Yu put the most energy into it.

An excellent religious view should be self-justifying, and a set of theories can only be credible if it minimizes self-contradictions.

However, it is a pity that any world view, even a materialist world view, must have its historical limitations. With the development and progress of science and technology, human cognition of the world must also be constantly changing.

This will lead to cracks in the original world view, and if there are too many cracks, it may even completely collapse.

To avoid this kind of thing from happening, in addition to having a good foundation in the theoretical system itself, it is up to the believers of later generations to continue to patch it up.

It's as if you pick an app at random on your phone. If you want it to run well, you need to be constantly updated and maintained by the programmers.

The same is true for religion. Sometimes the bugs are too big to be solved by hot updates, and the installation package has to be iteratively redownloaded.

However, compared to those pioneers in this universe, Li Yu's advantage is that his understanding of the world itself exceeds that of his contemporaries by thousands of years.

This also ensures that the code he wrote can run happily for more than 1000 years without any vicious bugs.

And the most amazing thing about the world view created by Li Yu is that a large part of the content is real, but it has undergone some necessary artistic processing.

He gave up the increasingly difficult part of creationism in traditional religions, and instead told a classic Japanese RPG game-style salvation story.

Among them, Li Yu did not try to downplay his identity as an outsider on Saturday, but further strengthened and used this point.

In the description of his first version of the story, Saturday is a foreign god who lives in a kingdom of gods far away from the continent of Bratis. good life.

However, the compassionate Saturday noticed that a group of people were living in suffering on the land outside its kingdom of God, so Saturday sent its own prophet to come here to rescue them.

Lead them to build a god kingdom on land together.

When Li Yu said this, a lizardman believer raised his hand and said, "What is the Kingdom of God on land?"

"Good question." Li Yu turned on the projector.

A city promotional video of Pingdingshan began to play on the white curtain not far away.

The promotional video is not long, only about 5 minutes long, and the lizard people can't understand what is being said in it, but this does not prevent them from pricking up their ears and rounding their eyes, staring intently at the people on the screen. Changing screen.

The main reason why the city promotional video for Shanghai was not released was because Li Yu was worried that it would be too high-end all at once, and the lizard people would not be able to digest it, and they would not understand what was in it. On the contrary, the effect was not as good as that of ordinary cities.

Anyway, regardless of Shanghai, or Pingdingshan, even Hegang, where the economy is no longer doing well, it is enough to satisfy the lizard people's imagination of the kingdom of God.

No, it should be said that it far exceeded their imagination.

Looking at the high-rise buildings in the promotional film, the tidy roads, and the small iron boxes flowing on the roads, the faces of the lizard people are all written with director Ang Lee's famous quotes.

——I can't read it, but I'm shocked!

And the aerial viewing angle from top to bottom also made them exclaim, not to mention the amazing time-lapse photography, which made some lizard people kneel on the spot.

Coupled with the happy smiles of all the people who appeared in the promotional film, it makes people sincerely believe that the people living in it are really happy.

After a promotional video was released, the emotions of all the lizardmen were boiling, and they could not calm down for a long time.

After an indeterminate amount of time, the lizardman opened his mouth and said in a trembling and excited voice, "This, is this the kingdom of God where my lord Saturday and the prophet you lived, I...we can also live like this ?"

"Of course." Li Yu's tone was very affirmative.

"Let me tell you, I was sent here on Saturday to establish the kingdom of God on land, but my strength alone is far from enough. I need the help of you and other believers in the future. Let's work together.

"Anyone who is willing to join this great cause, regardless of gender, race, identity, or whether there is any hatred between them before, is our family and comrades-in-arms, and everyone is working hard for the same goal."
