Chapter 1,112 Future Planning

After a period of reconstruction and renovation, the former dirty and dilapidated mining town has now undergone tremendous changes. In addition to the bustling "new city circle" outside, which is already three times the size of the old town, even the town The central building has also undergone great changes. The "Cathedral of the Crow God", which was originally a temporary town hall, was replaced by a truly gorgeous church. This Gothic-style three-story spire building with black as the main color is used by believers. It was built in three days with divine magic and prayer, but its scale and grandeur have reached the pinnacle level of various religious buildings in the world. It is said that during the three days of construction of the cathedral, the entire Holy City also continued to undergo three days of construction. It became a new sensational "miracle" in the southern region. It was a pity that we were bombarded with information in the Dragon Kingdom in those days and did not have the opportunity to see this grand event - but then again, The empire is vast, and countless grand activities are going on in the world under its name basically every minute. If we all want to see them all without landing, then basically we don’t have to do anything. If nothing else, just register in the world. There are now thousands of New Year celebrations recorded around the world on average every day. Even professionals like Qian Qian who join in the fun can only look back and sigh...

The Cathedral of the Crow God is located on the old site of the town hall, facing the Holy Tree Square. A group of powerful crow spirits are always hovering above it. They are the guardians of the cathedral, the messengers and warriors of the Crow God, and the followers of the Crow God. Guardian - actually the crow spirit created the last time the little crow "entertained guests" and forgot to take it back. It was simply put to waste by Vanilla. As soon as you enter the church, you will see a grand and unusual long hall, which is the prayer and baptism hall for believers. Behind the altar at the end of the long hall is a sculpture of the Crow God, which is more than ten meters high. Many sculptures of gods in the mortal world are carved by After being enlarged by believers, Little Crow is an exception. Her sculpture is a miniature version of her actual height: with her head held high and her chest raised, it is really amazing to see a big bird that is 100 meters tall. There is something in the mouth of the crow statue, which is a black feather with a metallic texture that exudes circles of translucent energy fluctuations. This is an important sacred object of the Crow God Cult. It comes from the feathers on the Crow God. The energy it provides supports the outer shield of the entire Holy City, and at the same time illuminates the entire city, strengthens believers, blesses the church and the entire city’s residents. Fourteen-hour hot water and other systems provide energy - in short, without it, not only will the Holy City lose the invincible shield given by God, but the believers will have to boil their own water even for bathing... In other words, this system in the end must be Lily Na's idea! ?

today. This was not a day for the Crow God Sect to hold religious activities, but a large number of believers gathered in the cathedral. And except for some waiters. The rest are basically all senior members of the sect. They received divine revelation in yesterday's dream and gathered here early this morning. Last night, the Crow God gave important instructions in the visions of all senior believers in the city. : "We have a meeting tomorrow!"

So today, hundreds of Crow God priests dressed in black robes gathered here.

Lilina, who was wearing a high-level Crow God uniform, was standing on the pulpit - she was truly "standing" on the pulpit. She was standing on the table, so she wouldn't be blocked by the table - while stamping her feet vigorously. While shouting loudly: "Quiet! Quiet! Quiet... Oh, no one said anything in the first place. Well, everyone is almost here, right?"

The senior believers who were originally silent looked at each other in confusion. Already familiar with this strange "Great Sage", they could only continue to keep a straight face and pretend to listen seriously to the teachings.

"Okay. They are all good children," Lilina nodded with satisfaction, quickly took out the lines and read them, "By God's blessing, Crow God and her father said... Oh, this sentence has been crossed out. 500 grams of potatoes, eggplant 300 grams, green onions...oh, this is showing through from the back..."

I finally couldn't bear it, but I couldn't kick Lilina down in front of so many believers, so I coughed lightly and said in the spiritual connection: "Will you try to talk nonsense again?"

"Ahem, in short, I have called everyone here today because I have something very important to announce." Lilina threw away the lines in her hand and looked seriously at the group of Crow God believers below who were waiting eagerly. "This is a direct message from God. Instructions, the gods have been away from this world for tens of thousands of years. Recently, we have received news that all the gods are about to return. The world will undergo great changes as a result - and the Crow God, as the messenger of the King of the Gods, is responsible for bringing this... The message is conveyed to the mortal world, and all of you present are the most devout followers of the Crow God. You will shoulder the important task of conveying the will of the god and convey this message to the entire world - within seven days."

After Lilina finished speaking, a buzzing discussion suddenly broke out among the believers, and quickly fell silent after Lilina coughed lightly. Lilina hasn't finished speaking yet: "Some of you may not be ready yet, but I must convey God's will. This change in the world is a signal of the return of the gods. The specific situation will be revealed to you for the first time this afternoon." I learned from God in prayer that this matter will be the first priority of the sect. I want you to organize all available Crow God believers to convey God’s message. Even if the construction of the Holy City is suspended, you must ensure that the revelation is released in time. Communicate to the whole world - Crow God is the god of messengers, so believers who assume the role of messenger will also receive her temporary blessings. You can freely use the magic of space teleportation, but remember, you must not violate the doctrine, you must not seek personal gain, and you must not Delaying the mission. Who has anything to say now?"

I looked at Lilina, who was standing on the pulpit with a serious and solemn face. It took me a long time to resist the urge to go up and tear her down: You said this girl can be so serious, why is she so so when she is with us? What if I don’t have four or six?

But her current appearance is most likely just an act. This guy usually prepares so many masks when he is in front of outsiders. No one can know what her real expression is. Anyway, I don’t believe she really has one. The concept of caring about the country and its people...

Of course, the senior followers of the Crow God were a little baffled by this sudden mission and asked some detailed questions. Lilina's answer was unanimously: Everything will be learned from God during the first prayer in the afternoon, so the believers had to wait for the noon prayer to hear teachings from God - but in fact the little crow was standing on the pulpit. Next to it, there was the skinny little girl who was chewing wood on the table. Unfortunately, except for Vanilla, no one at the scene knew what the "Crow God" really looked like. The believers only occasionally saw the huge Crow God coming from it. Apart from flying in the sky, the only way to communicate with one's own gods is through prayer. There was a reason Lilina insisted that they wait until the afternoon to pray: Little Crow still hadn't memorized the lines yet...

Later, Lilina dismissed the Crow God believers in the hall. I stepped forward and grabbed the little crow from the side of the pulpit. This girl had already chewed off a large piece of the pulpit made of black stone core wood. It seems that my task is not only to make this girl remember that she is not a duck. In addition, there should be one more thing to make her realize that she is not a woodpecker either...

"Gah!" The little crow chewed wood chips in its mouth and happily pointed to its own sculpture not far away. "Master, who is that stupid bird? Why is it holding my feathers? Such hard things cannot build a nest... "

I slapped my forehead. He took Dingdang out of his pocket and said, "Now there is another God asking the same question as you did back then..."

"It seems like she can't memorize her lines well," Lilina looked at the little crow who was looking for mouse holes in the hall. I couldn't help but pat my forehead. "If it really doesn't work, we have to let Vanilla take action this time. It doesn't matter whoever entrusts the dream. People can be easily deceived at the subconscious level."

Vanilla was lying on the small table next to the pulpit, sweating profusely, learning to write from Sakina. Suddenly she heard someone calling her name and looked up: "Me? No, no, how can I pretend to be natural... God of crows!”

"Little bird, can you let Vanilla take care of the noon god's enlightenment for you?" Lilina grabbed the little crow running around next to her. "That way you don't have to memorize those ridiculously long lines."

The little crow immediately flapped his arms happily: "Gah! Sister Lilina is so good!"

Lilina pointed at the little crow and said to Vanilla: "Look, your god has spoken orally."

Because the mysterious parent star ruins located in this world will cause changes in the world after being activated. We must prepare in advance, and the compromise provided by Alleria has minimized the impact. But according to Sakina's statistics, about one-third of the "lost worlds" will still be affected. These lost worlds more or less contain "relics of the ancient gods", which are facilities of the old empire. After the mother star is activated, , these facilities will be teleported into the Dragon Kingdom, and their own defense devices will also be activated. It will undoubtedly be extremely dangerous if there are explorers left in those lost worlds. At the same time, so many lost worlds will undergo changes at the same time. Of course, people on the mother continent will also notice that it is possible to cause large-scale social unrest - for this world, the "Lost World" is an extremely important part of it, and various resources and knowledge from the Lost World are It is closely related to everyone in this world. If you think about how much commotion it would cause if one day all the oil fields on the earth suddenly stopped producing oil and replaced Coca-Cola, you can imagine that one-third of the Lost World suddenly turned into an empty city. How much impact will the mother continent have? Therefore, people on the mother continent need to be prepared in advance, but it is definitely unrealistic to directly send a spaceship to distribute leaflets around the world - that will cause a second panic, just like a group of pilots suddenly popping up before all the oil fields on the earth are exhausted. Just as the UFO-wielding Martians claimed responsibility for this incident, social unrest will probably occur before humans die from the oil war. Therefore, Lilina, an expert who has studied social group psychology, gave us a suggestion to use the channels in the world to inform: religion.

Religious activities in the mother continent are very frequent, and almost everyone believes in one or two gods. The various gods and sects here are almost as common as eating and drinking water for ordinary people. They are still in the stage of believing in "gods". In the era of "Apocalypse", it is feasible to use the mouth of "god" to create a public opinion offensive. At the same time, it can also expand the influence of Crow God Sect and Dragon God Sect - half-dragons will also participate in this event, and Sona is already in Lin arranged everything with help.

Large-scale religious public opinion can effectively prevent civilian class explorers from setting foot on lost worlds that are no longer safe in the next few days. According to Sakina, explorers are quite "superstitious" because every day When coming into contact with extremely dangerous things, no matter how perfect the preparations and equipment are, they can't deal with the indescribable traps in ancient ruins. Therefore, they believe in all luck, omens, divine revelations and anything similar. The large-scale propaganda of Crow God Sect and Dragon God Sect can make more than 90% of explorers leave those lost worlds that are announced to be closed. But some lost worlds have established fixed human settlements, and even have armies stationed by various countries. They use those relatively large lost worlds as half colonies, which is more difficult - don't use drastic measures. It is difficult to drive away such "guests" by relying solely on religious propaganda. We have also taken action in this regard, and Alaya and Alleria are in charge of this.

Alleria set out for the Sky Tower yesterday. Take over control of the Gundar Colossus there. Almost all lost worlds where imperial ruins exist are guarded by Gundar Colossi, but like those in the Sky Tower Square, all Gundar Colossi are in a state of chaos. To regain their use, control of the home planet's guard system must be restored. , and the control center of these Colossus troops is the Sky Tower.

Alleria came back near noon and told us that all the Colossus soldiers had regained control.

Sakina told us the legend of these colossus soldiers on the mother continent: "Only the most dangerous ancient god ruins have colossus soldiers. They are the most terrifying existence among all ruin guardians, so they have a great reputation. All explorers I know the story of at least a dozen Colossus soldiers massacring the invaders. 'Encountering a Colossus when going out' is the most unlucky curse in our profession. The legends of these metal colossi are widely distributed on the continent, and many bards can even find them making up nonsense. The popular books created by them are all stories such as "The Knight and the Colossus", "The Brave Fighting the Colossus", "The Legend of the Forty Days War between Prince Rein and the Colossus Soldiers", etc. They are all made up - in fact, there are no such stories so far. Anyone who finds a way to defeat those colossi, they are a nightmare that everyone knows but no one can defeat. But fortunately, the colossi soldiers have fixed guard areas. They will only patrol along fixed lines and expel within a fixed range Intruders. So after figuring out this rule, people can explore the ruins with peace of mind. Just like the Sky Tower, the back gate square is full of Colossus soldiers, but it is still a very popular ruins."

It was Sakina's introduction that made us think that we can use Colossus Soldiers to disperse the settlements near the empire's ruins - they are things that people in this world are already familiar with, and the image of invincibility has been deeply rooted in people's hearts, making these Colossus soldiers even more powerful. It's more effective than sending 10,000 Imperial soldiers armed to the nails. After all, facing strange Imperial soldiers, ordinary people in this world may resist fearlessly, but when faced with the infamous Colossus of Gunda, they will definitely run away. Faster than the runaway Lilina.

"Boss, you can't do this..." Lilina looked at me resentfully and muttered.

"In this way, the preparations here are basically completed. Dispel all the idle people near the empire ruins, recover the old facilities that can still be used, and release the Sky City in three days. Next, let the Shadow City do the work. Be ready to receive it." I held my chin and sorted out the things to be done in the next few days. "I discussed it with Sandora and decided to mount the entire world into the shadow space, just like Avalon. The same, it becomes an extra space under the control of Shadow City."

This is the result of my discussion with Sandora last night. The main reason for doing this is that this world is really small - the detectable and stable space range is only one light-year, and the mother continent planet is located in this light-year. The central location of the small world is like a pocket universe compared to most known worlds. It is such a small universe that it would be difficult to set up administrative levels as a separate world (for example: should we send a film police officer to Is this the governor of the world?), why not let it become an integral part of the shadow space. This small universe was obviously distorted after the impact that year. It seems that even if I opened up and blocked the world barrier, only a small area like the capital galaxy of the empire was protected in the end.

If this project is completed, this world will become a very special place. First of all, the world itself is divided into two layers. The surface layer is the mother continent planet and the nearby one light-year space, which is what Sajina and the others are familiar with. In the mortal world, most people on the mother continent can come into contact with it in their lifetime, and all they can understand will be the universe within this light-year, and the inner layer is the space where the mysterious system mother star is located. We learn from various lost worlds The collected home star facilities will be stored there. In the future, this inner space will also become the base camp and new birthplace of the mysterious side of the new empire. For the mortals of the mother continent, it will become a place in religious legends - —The Kingdom of God.

And this entire world is mounted in the shadow space. Like Avalon, it exists as a "district" of the capital of the empire. Although it is countless times larger than Avalon, its own administrative level is still " neighborhood”.

Then we may open up knowledge about the empire to ordinary people in this world. After all, they can be considered living in the empire's ruled area. As time goes by, they will also become a very special "family". Maybe they can't be like Other tribes also have powerful power. It may take many years for their civilization level to catch up with other vassal worlds, but they do not need to be good in this area. In Sandora's plan, this world should be another long-term plan. "Nursery" - the Imperial Deified Observation Point.

Now that we already have the Crow God, in the foreseeable future, there will definitely be more individuals with divinity, or information disturbance power, in the empire. The next one may be around us, Qianqian, sister, Lin Snow, anyone can suddenly become a god overnight, and then our Imperial Ministry of Religious Affairs (currently Lilina is the minister, secretary, director general, executive member, receptionist, tea girl, cleaner, and office supplies) will organize a The corresponding religion tests the power and power level of the new gods in this world.

This is the future plan we came up with last night.
