Spellcasting Heavens

Religion and belief have always been irrational, mixed with too many strong emotions and impulses. Coupled with the herd effect mentioned in social psychology, even outright cults will have a large number of loyal believers.

What's more, the Dark Church does not force anyone to donate money for property. Instead, it provides one meal a day to the poor who cannot afford to eat, ensuring that they will not starve to death.

In addition, there is a divine support behind the church, and many talented priests can even obtain some simple magical skills.

When all of the above came together, a terrifying group effect was quickly formed. Everyone rushed to show their loyalty to God and the church. At the same time, the social atmosphere became more and more conservative and exclusive, so much so that when strangers were seen, People respond with suspicion or hostility.

Feeling the abnormal and morbid enthusiasm in the whole city, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but want to laugh. He even felt that the indigenous people on this planet were no different from the humans on the earth.

Perhaps because they are weak, they need to use concepts such as religion, nation, country, class, etc. to integrate themselves into a large group and use the power of the group to protect themselves.

It may also be because of stupidity. After all, no matter how much advanced knowledge and information a mortal receives, he will never be able to change his primitive and low-level desires.

Although desire, to a certain extent, enables them to continuously evolve and create brilliant civilizations, uncontrolled desire can also bring disaster and destruction.

Just walking and thinking like this, Zhang Cheng unknowingly passed through the temporarily transformed temple and raised his head just in time to see a huge statue standing in the center of the hall.

A man wearing a black robe was standing nearby, preaching holy scriptures to the believers kneeling on the ground in prayer.

Although these contents are all bad stories that have been made up recently and cannot withstand scrutiny at all, the poor people who cannot read a few words are listening to them with great interest, nodding or exclaiming.

Just as he was staring at the thread of faith connected to another world behind the statue, a woman appeared next to him at some point and asked in a low voice, It's you?! What are you doing here?

Why, can't I come? Don't forget, I gave this statue to you in the first place. Zhang Cheng turned his head and showed a half-smiling expression.

No! I mean, what is your purpose here? The woman was vigilant with a hint of hostility.

She had personally experienced that underground adventure and understood how terrifying the seemingly harmless young man in front of her was. To describe him as a monster in human skin was not an exaggeration at all.

Zhang Cheng was keenly aware of the hostility and responded casually: I heard that you were making wild claims and wanted to take back everything that belongs to you from me, so naturally I wanted to come and take a look. What, are you scared? Or do you think Would I kill this small church?

You won't touch the Dark Church! Because this is part of your plan! Including me, we are all your pawns. But don't forget, as long as the time is right, the pawns can also become players, and the prey can also become players. You can become a hunter. The woman suppressed the tension and impulse in her heart and raised her chin in a proud posture.

Hahahaha! I admire your courage and hope you can keep it until the end. Do you know? In many stories, the heroes who resist fate often end up in tragedy. This is not because those heroes are not determined enough, but It's not because they are too weak, but because the manipulation of fate is too powerful. It is so powerful that no matter how they resist, it will only increase the fun of the process.

It won't change the results. Now, I give this sentence to you, hoping that you can use fierce resistance to let me play this game to the end.

As he spoke, Zhang Cheng stretched out his right hand and pinched the woman's cheek wantonly, his eyes full of playfulness and sarcasm.

There is no doubt that he likes chess pieces that can resist. The more fierce the resistance, the more inexplicable happiness he will feel.

The woman undoubtedly felt the humiliation, and the flames of anger kept flashing in her pupils. It took a full minute before she pushed away the hand pinching her cheek: Be respectful! I am not one of your servants who have completely lost themselves. I You are the chosen one of the great God of Darkness, the favored one of the dark power, born to bring true faith to this world. You may be powerful, but never want me to surrender.

Zhang Cheng was not angry because of this, and nodded with a chuckle: Of course! I respect your choice, and I will not force you to do anything. Okay, that's it for now. I have more important things to say. We have something to talk about, but I wonder if you have time now?

Do I still have the right to refuse? Come with me, this is not the place to talk. The woman was obviously very calm. No matter how angry she was in her heart, she would not make fun of serious matters.

The two walked through the spacious corridor one after another, and after a while they arrived at a closed office.

Since it was converted from the original city hall, the temple retains a lot of its original decoration and design, and there are even some reliefs of heroes from ancient myths and legends on the pillars.

As the door closed with a bang, the woman returned to her seat and asked directly: Tell me, what's the matter? Don't tell me, you personally pushed the Dark Church to the light and made us fight against the whole world. The enemy is for our own good.

Oh? Why not? Zhang Cheng pretended to be innocent and blinked.

Hmph! Do you think I am a three-year-old child who is so easy to deceive? It was you who drove me to a dead end. Once I am besieged, millions of believers will die and the church will also suffer a heavy blow. There is not enough Believers do not have enough faith. Without enough faith, they cannot awaken the God of Darkness. Now I am beginning to wonder, what is your real purpose, and whether you still want to let the God of Darkness come. The woman has no idea at all. He concealed the resentment in his heart and vented it out.

It seems that you don't really understand what true faith is, right? Zhang Cheng also sat down on the chair and crossed his hands in front of his chest.

What do you mean? The woman frowned subconsciously.

Zhang Cheng pretended to be doing it for your own good and explained: It's very simple! The so-called faith never refers to the number of believers, but the degree of piety. How much faith do you think those pretentious guys in the city can provide? The power? Together, they are probably not as powerful as a saint. Therefore, faith requires baptism, the baptism of blood and death. Only those who are willing to risk their lives for the church and dedicate everything to the gods can provide piety. Only with faith can I awaken the God of Darkness. Everything I do is just accelerating this process, a painful process that you must go through...
