Lord of Plenty

The mages believe that the path to the extraordinary level (i.e., level one to level three) is a process of learning to recognize the truth from nothing.

And the hero realm, above level four, is the path of exploring the truth, completing the truth, and then controlling the truth.

The magic on Yongxu Continent is still just a "pseudo-truth" now, and it is not that Kun is talking nonsense.

Because the six gods are all gods of faith, none of them is a true god promoted by magic, and the history of Yongxu Continent has never recorded the existence of a magic god.

So the only thing that can be called truth in the entire continent is actually - "faith".

What is faith?

It is to believe and worship, and it is also "faith exists, and no faith does not exist".

The basic attributes of faith are also clearly reflected in this sentence, which is a kind of ability to make the fake look real.

The sky goddess is the true god, and He holds the authority of [the sky]. This is a common understanding of people on the continent.

But there is actually a problem of order here.

Before the sky goddess ascended the throne of the true god, did He already hold the authority of [the sky]?

The answer is of course no.

It is because the people on the continent believe that He holds the authority of the sky that He holds the authority of the sky.

And this is the power of faith.

It is also the best evidence that faith is the truth.

But what is false is false, and no matter how much they are believed to be true, it cannot change their essence.

This truth, this authority, even if they are already true gods, is still false.

The real part is actually only faith.

So the foundation of faith in God is the faith of believers, not their own authority.

When the number of believers decreases, or believers no longer firmly believe that God holds the power of "something", it is the beginning of the weakening of faith in God, or even the fall.

That is why Kun believes that the road to the hero field, the people on Yongxu Continent have actually gone astray, and are going further and further away.

And when did this road go astray?

It may be traced back to the ancient times when the ancient gods still existed.

Perhaps it was bewitched by the gods of the dark world.

After all, the road of controlling the truth with faith and ascending to the true god is very easy to walk, as long as the strength is strong, it can be said to be a smooth road.

Or maybe it was the time when the ancient gods fought against the dark world, and in order to replenish their fighting power, the ancient gods had to open this road.

The future can only be discussed if we survive first.

The real reason why "faith" became the only truth on this continent has long been lost in the long river of history, and no one knows.

But it doesn't matter.

What matters is how to go on the next road!

Since the predecessors were able to create this extremely brilliant magic system from scratch, bit by bit.

Standing on the shoulders of the predecessors, Kun naturally has the confidence to correct the chaos and lead this road that has gone astray back to the right path.

This is also the true meaning of his journey to the demigod promotion.

Raising fish, or "abundance", is what Kun chose as the foundation of the "truth" he chose when he was promoted to the god level.

Rather than "faith".

After Kun's research these days and integrating all the known information, he found that the hero field, the road from the saint to the god level, is actually very interesting.

The promotion from the Grand Master to the Saint, even if it is not a direct promotion like him, but a promotion by blood power, is actually the right path.

It is not wrong to climb step by step, all life evolved in this way.

Just like human children are born smarter than beast children, you can't say this is wrong, it's unfair.

Because this "smartness" has never been a gift from heaven, but the choice and efforts of human ancestors.

But starting from the Saint, from the great cause to the promotion of demigod, from here, this road began to go astray.

From the road of truth, it unknowingly turned to the road of faith.

Start a war, and then quell a war, people remember the name of the Saint, and this great cause is considered a successful one.

Cultivating "a fish", distributing this fish to the dining tables of thousands of households, enriching people's tables, and solving famine, this is also a great cause.

And what is the difference between these two practices?

Faith is indeed truth, but truth is not only faith.

[Abundance], [Sky], [King Kong], [War], [Healing], [Alchemy], [Desire]...

There are thousands of truths in the world, and there are countless ways to achieve great deeds.

All living beings do not know your name, but does this great deed, this truth, no longer exist?

No.

Truth always exists objectively.

The same is true for great deeds. Once they are achieved, they will exist and will never disappear.

But if you ignore the essence and only focus on faith, and are confused by the illusory power brought by faith, then it is reasonable to abandon the part of truth that you instinctively grasp.

Kun's journey is to verify this personally.

If he did not spread faith, he could be promoted to demigod just by expanding the path of [Abundance].

That means that great deeds, like truth, will always exist!

For a saint to be promoted to demigod, there is no need to gather believers, publicize his name, or establish a sect.

Unlike most palaces, the Altria Palace, known as the Little Saint Castle, has a part open to the general public, especially those who believe in the Sky Goddess.

Like the Sky Flower with three petals inside and outside, the Altria Palace is also divided into three floors.

Clergy at the bishop level even have the right to enter and exit areas outside the middle level of the palace.

In the information fed back by the detection robot, Kun saw a group of church personnel wearing professional robes hurriedly leaving the palace.

Judging from the attire of these people, except for the leader who seemed to have a high status, the others did not seem to have reached the bishop level.

"Has Walder's royal power been squeezed to this extent?"

Kun shook his head.

No king would endure such humiliation unless he was powerless to resist.

No wonder Valentina was not satisfied with taking out her saint puppet just to return to the country, and she insisted that Kun promised her to send Dawn to protect Walder before she would go with him to the Rich Territory.

The most irreconcilable point between theocracy and royal power is that there are too many similarities between them.

There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. The strength of one side is inevitably accompanied by the decline of the other side.

Soon Kun found his target, Walder who was in the study.

"I've said before that I will never issue such a ridiculous decree."

Wald, who once made plans in Dansu and forced the Dansu royal family to retreat step by step.

Now he is like a child who is forced into a corner, and angrily throws the document in his hand in the face of the minister in front of him.

The assistant minister said expressionlessly:

"You know, no matter how dissatisfied you are, you will have to sign this decree sooner or later, it's just a matter of one day earlier or later.

Now the kingdom is full of dream grass, waiting for you to sign this document and wait for the official harvest.

If you don't sign this document, the dream grass can't be sold or exchanged for food.

Do you know what will happen?

Countless civilians will starve to death, and you, my king, you will be hanged by those angry nobles who have suffered heavy losses and rushed into the palace."

"Hehe, are you scaring me, Ones!"

"No, I'm just stating the facts.

Besides, Your Majesty is just Change the name of those eyeball grasses. Weren't they originally called dream grasses?

I don't think this is particularly difficult.

You just need to sign, and the rest of the problems will be solved by me and the cardinal. "

"What a ridiculous word game!

Eyeball grass is a dangerous magical plant that is prohibited from planting, but dream grass is not.

Just change the name to circumvent the current laws and the commandments of God.

Who do you think you can hide from this ridiculous self-deception?

Gustlett, that bastard, dares to call himself a devout believer of God. Is this how he fools the God he believes in? "

Wald was so angry that his face turned red and he slammed the table.

Assistant Minister Ones had a half-smile on his face and said in a mocking tone:

"If the believers of God are really guilty, then God must punish them personally.

Since the goddess did not punish the bishop, it may mean that God does not think the bishop is guilty."

For this kind of sophistry, Walder roared:

"He is not guilty, so am I the guilty one?"

Ones nodded and said as a matter of course:

"It was your ancestors who believed in the goddess of the sky and introduced the Glorious Church to Altria.

It was your fathers who allowed the Church to grow step by step in the country and even amended the law to make people all over the country believe in the goddess of the sky.

Do you still think that all this has nothing to do with you?"

"..."

Walder seemed to have lost all his strength and slumped in his chair.

Assistant Minister Ones slowly picked up the scattered documents on the ground, sorted them out and put them on the desk, and said seriously:

"Please think about it carefully. The bishop firmly believes that you will make a wise choice. Just think...

For Altria."

Ones leaned over to say goodbye, and Walder was the only one left in the study.

The empty room was quiet, and only heavy breathing could be heard.

After listening for a while, Kun roughly understood the matter and thought about it, and decided to talk to Walder first.

There are many ways to solve a problem, but not every solution can get the other party's gratitude.

It is not impossible to solve all the problems but offend others. It's just a bit stupid.

"You seem to be troubled? Why don't you tell me."

"Who!"

A strange voice suddenly came from his ear, and Walder jumped up from the chair and immediately summoned the Saint Puppet from the storage ring to guard him.

"Put away your toys. Saint puppets are useless to me, and I have no ill intentions.

I just saw that my colleague's disciple seemed to be in some trouble, so I asked by the way."

Nominally, Kun is only the chosen one of the God of Plenty, and he is under the command of the God of Plenty along with Valentina and the Great Elder Yimiyier.

Although this "tree" of the God of Plenty was created by him personally.

But to outsiders who don't know the inside story, he is just one of the many subordinates of the God of Plenty.

At most, the chosen ones are favored by the gods and have a slightly higher status than others.
