Chapter 1521 Reception

Although winter has passed and the world has ushered in the spring season, it happened to be rainy these two days, and the temperature outside dropped sharply by several degrees before it could rise.

The sky was overcast, with no signs of clearing up. A moist breeze with a bit of earthy smell blew in from the open window, bringing chills to people. I sat in front of the window and looked at several small children in the yard. They were playing around there, although it was boring, but they were happy to be quiet, and Qian Qian was sitting opposite her. She frowned and looked at the sky outside, and finally couldn't help but puff out her mouth: "It's so boring, so boring... I originally wanted to go shopping with Bingtis. Arjun, do we want to drive away the clouds? "

I looked over sideways and said, "Stop messing around. There are plenty of places to go shopping."

He let out a faint sigh and lay weakly on the table, pretending to be depressed: "But today I suddenly want to go shopping..."

I didn't pay attention to her, because I knew that any thoughts this girl had usually wouldn't last for a few minutes, and she would soon forget them after she muttered a few words. At this time, another gust of breeze blew. Although it was a bit cool, it was just right for me. I leaned half out of the window and saw him lying on the special blanket in front of the porch, posing boredly. The fox fairy girl with a tail said: "Fox, come back. It's not sunny today. If you go back to the house, I will comb your hair."

The Fox Fairy looked up at the sky, and as if he was angry with someone, he arched up and down on the ground and changed several angles. Finally, he ran over with his ears drooped. This guy didn't go through the main entrance, but jumped in directly from the window, while holding his tail. He was curled up on me and muttering angrily: "I want to bask in the sun, I want to bask in the sun, I want to bask in the sun..."

I touched the big furry tail of the fox fairy girl and found that it was as fluffy as usual. It had not become dry and rough due to the rain in the past two days. As a thousand-year-old fox, she certainly does not need to bask in the sun to keep her fur healthy, but Obviously this guy has developed a lot of bad habits after living a lazy life for the past two years. Not being exposed to the sun every day is as uncomfortable as a cat that has been locked up for too long.

This guy is basically out of control, I thought as I summoned Alaya who was playing with the child in my mind. Recently, everything in Celestial City has been on track, and there is no need for high-level angels like her for the time being. It is a project that I have worked on personally, so the schedule of Silly Cat Angel is back on track again, that is, I continue to sleep in and out every day, and almost never show up without my call.

Alaya looked dull as always. I raised my hand to let her see the brush in my hand, and the girl looked happy. She sat down on the ground without anyone's instructions and put a wide wing over her. . I held two specially designed brushes, one for combing the tail of the fox fairy and the other for brushing the feathers of the angel sister. I opened the bow left and right without forgetting to command: "Fox, spread out the rest of your tail, Alaya." Turn up the brightness of the holy light and raise the temperature a little, this guy didn’t get any sunshine today and now he’s depressed..."

So the two hairy creatures were all happy. I looked at the harmonious effect of my reasonable allocation of resources with great satisfaction. I thought that if the group of guys around me continued to develop like this, they might form a complete ecosystem...

As a result, just as he was thinking this, he saw Lilina appear out of nowhere. The little girl obviously came for Alaya. She sat down on the low stool next to her and squinted her eyes comfortably, and then a green light began to glow on her head... She was using Alaya for photosynthesis.

"You're quite enjoying yourself." Bingtis's voice suddenly came from the side. When I looked up, I saw this female gangster standing in front of me holding the TV remote control in her hand. She was clearly in a good mood.

"I'm busy here," I said while my hands were not free. I continued to groom the two strange creatures from left to right, trying to coax the fox to sleep before the little crow became interested in grooming. This way, I can feel more relaxed. As for Alaya, I don't have to think about it at all: Angel Sister has already fallen asleep, "By the way, what's the matter with you?"

"The two popes under Kense and Lin should go back today." Bingtis looked at me with a smile, "Your sister said to invite them to the house as guests. After all, the relationship between the pope and the main god is like that of father, son and mother. Girl, come here and get to know me."

I looked towards the kitchen, where my sister and Anweina were preparing lunch. It was still early at noon, but considering Sandora's appetite, our family always had to cook earlier.

I put down Alaya's "work" first, reached over and took a picture of Lilina, who was pretending to be a potted flower: "Let's go for a run, and why is the exp+ on your head when you are photosynthesising now? 10?"

Lilina continued photosynthesis under Alaya's holy light, while proudly puffing out her chest: "Because I have upgraded!"

Me: "...Go, go, hurry up and come back!"

Will and Quina have been living in the Shadow City for many days. They originally planned to go back after completing their mission. After all, these two people have the title of Pope. In their respective worlds, they are leaders of races and even civilization leaders. Naturally, You can't just run around and delay like ordinary people, but for fanatic believers, their God's will is above all else. They stayed in the capital of the empire for such a long time under the instructions of Kense and Lin to cooperate with our work. Now The empire has confirmed the changes in the Heart of the World and the approaching cataclysm of the void. It is natural for them to say goodbye and leave. However, they certainly did not expect to receive such an invitation before they left.

According to my sister's concept, today I just asked Will and Quina to come over for a casual meal. This is as simple as a visit from relatives, but in the eyes of two fanatic believers who have received religious education since childhood and grew up in a strict religious environment. The significance of coming here is profound. The two of them were obviously still in a state of confusion when they were brought over by Lilina. The old man, Will, looked at the living room and dining table in front of him, and kept drawing strange symbols on his chest (this should be from a church under Kenser's name). Prayer sign), his mouth is never idle: "Lord, thank you for the grace and tolerance you bestow on believers, thank you for..."

I couldn't help but touch Kenser's arm: "Are the religious rules you formulated a bit too pretentious? I don't think even the ascetic monks from the Life God Religion who are always ready to sacrifice themselves for the Lord didn't do this when they saw Dingdang. The old man is so excited."

Kenser's face seemed a little embarrassed: "Because the worlds under my name are all developing well, I don't pay much attention to the church. Basically, I have long-distance conversations and occasionally provide guidance. As a result, they have developed like this. It took me more than ten years to make their way of belief a little more peaceful."

I watched the old man Will pray for a long time before he calmed down. I couldn't help but think about what the world would be like under the management of Uncle Kenser. Maybe it would be like in those novels, where the whole world believes in a supreme god of light. The church is full of fanatic believers, and there are also a few dark organizations among the people who want to drag Kenser's life-like figure from the altar all day long. There may be a few antichrists, and occasionally there is a time traveler who goes the wrong way. The person possesses the local people, and the first thought when seeing the statue of Kenser is to defeat the God of Light...

"What are you thinking about?" Kenser finally couldn't help but ask after seeing that I didn't speak for a long time.

I found that my divergence of thinking seemed a bit serious, but I still couldn't help but tell what I was thinking about. Uncle Kenser actually thought about it seriously, and then smiled happily: "This story is very good, very good. , but unfortunately I haven’t encountered any trouble caused by heretics. The children did have some resistance when they first established the sect. But I didn’t encounter the kind of violent conflicts you mentioned.”

I was just talking casually, but I didn't expect that Uncle Kenser actually encountered a heretical group when he established the sect. I suddenly became curious: "Then how did you get the heretical belief? It is not easy for ordinary people to change their beliefs."

"Why do you want them to change their beliefs?" Kenser glanced at me inexplicably. "The true God doesn't need too many believers. I just want believers to make it easier to understand the local situation and have enough assistants. So my Bible has always required You have freedom of belief and preaching as you please. Local mortals can believe if they want to. It doesn’t matter if they don’t want to. It doesn’t matter even if you declare that you are the descendant of the true God. It has no effect on me anyway. The sect of the true God is the only one that can truly obtain divine grace through prayer, and heretics No matter how exciting the faith is, you can't create a true god, so just let everything take its course. Gradually, as time goes by, the heretical sect cannot recruit people, and it will disappear."

I was stunned, and then scratched my hair: This is really like Uncle Kenser’s good-guy demeanor, but I am very curious when the world’s highest religious religion publicly declares freedom of belief. How weird would this world be when people are told that they can believe in the true God? If someone really traveled through the past, their outlook would be shattered just by seeing the Bible drawn up by Uncle Kenser, right?

Even declaring that he is the true God is not considered a violation of religious rules (of course it may violate local security). Uncle Kenser, is there no content in your religious code except the cover?

"Speaking of which, even Dingdang's sect has the Inquisition and the Knights of Conviction," I smacked my lips, "Lilina really has enough free time. Dingdang himself doesn't even understand what heresy is, so it's super unnecessary for her to join in the fun."

"It's not superfluous," Kenser smiled after hearing this. "My church also has teams such as the Inquisition and the Holy Inquisition. These are standard religious equipment, but they usually deal with vicious cults. Through preaching, The kind of people who are trying to trick others or practice sorcery in the name of the captain. The Heretic Tribunal under the captain’s name has been in action three times since its establishment. They usually spend most of their time cleaning the community. The Heretic Tribunal Knights under my name are a little busier, but Most of the time, I work as a volunteer in the community or do some small business anonymously..."

At the end, Uncle Kenser concluded with a smile: "In the final analysis, our attitude towards heretical beliefs is to let them go. As long as they don't do bad things, we don't care because they will always starve to death."

They will always starve to death themselves. This is the attitude of the true God towards the false god sects.

I was a little stunned at first after hearing what Uncle Kenser said, but I soon realized that this is the most normal attitude: if a sect is backed by the true God, every believer in this sect only needs to abide by a few things, which is basically fine. Troublesome moral dogma can obtain real God-given power, and all religions except this sect are not behind the true God. Even if their believers spend ten years of hard work and lose all their money, it is difficult to be more powerful than the most ordinary believer of the true God. Then Why does the true God still worry about "heresies" affecting his authority?

Just like what Uncle Kenser said cheerfully: If the heretical sect cannot recruit people, it will disappear...

I couldn't help but think of the ever-growing Life Goddess Cult under Dingdang's name, the belief in life that spreads across many worlds and has almost become the spiritual guide for many races, as well as those who have no problem even if they have to worship a lollipop. , the ascetic monks who still maintain their fanatical piety, Dingdang can have such a huge religious power as a mere fool. On the one hand, Lilina is really good at preaching, and on the other hand, she naturally has the power of the goddess that cannot be faked: as long as she can suppress Live in the place. Who cares whether it looks cool on the surface or not? Apart from anything else, the tadpoles and little tortoises that Little Crow drew when he was learning to write a while ago have now become the sacred patterns of the Crow God Sect. There are thousands of people in the Crow God Sect. The high-ranking priests study the heads of those little bastards every day to figure out God's will. This is authority. Do you understand authority...

By this time, the two popes had calmed down. It was hard to tell whether they were praying to calm down or were stunned by the lively atmosphere in our house. In short, they temporarily let go of their nervousness, but remained a little reserved and sat around the dining table. Anweina and her sister asked everyone to sit down at the dining table and stop running around, and then brought the last few dishes to the table. During this period, Little Crow and Lilina also ran around to help, and the useless fox finally came into play at this time: her bunch of tails are very convenient for carrying things.

Looking at the scene in front of him that seemed like the most ordinary big family dinner, Will couldn't help but muttered: "So this is what the Holy Communion in Heaven is like... The Holy Communion etiquette I usually design for believers seems a bit cumbersome."

Seeing his expression, I knew that the Holy Communion etiquette in the church was definitely not as simple as "a little cumbersome"...

Quina, a wild and fierce woman like an Amazon female warrior, was also extremely restrained in this situation. Her wheel battle ax had been temporarily put aside, and she looked curiously at Lilina holding various kinds of weapons on her head. Plates of food ran briskly between the dining room and the kitchen (by the way, is that girl training in Iron Head Kung Fu? High-temperature Iron Head?), thinking thoughtfully: "The Pope who serves directly beside God? This colleague is really It’s enviable, it will take me a long time to meet the goddess.”

Lin was immediately touched. She put her arms around Quina's head and held her in her arms, like a mother holding a child: "Little Quina. I will go over to see you often in the future..."

Everyone at the scene heard the clear "click, click, click" sound. The Amazon female pope, who was as strong as a man, struggled in Lin's bear hug in extreme pain: "My lord... my lord, my neck... "

Monina touched my arm: "Lin herself is not aware of it, but she subconsciously thinks that Quina is her daughter. The latter also regarded her as her mother because the first person she saw after breaking out of her shell was Lin. This happens often when we meet. By the way, don’t joke with Lin about this topic, she will go crazy if she is too shy."

Next to him, Bingtis also sighed: "Hatching eggs is really high risk. Such a young girl will have to bring her children with her when she talks about marriage in the future. How can she explain to others... Hey Chen, aren't you a pan-racial female killer? ? You might as well marry her. Anyway, I don’t think Lin’s character is suitable for her, and she seems to be quite happy..."

Shandora poked Bingtis in the arm with a fork: "You can find someone first and then talk about it." Then she turned to teach the little crow who was helping to set the plate: "Medwen, did you hear that? You can't just pick up the eggs outside in the future. Come back and hatch, maybe you will hatch an egg bigger than yourself...not even the eggs at home! The eggs you hatched have already become a disaster!"

I couldn't talk to these high-energy topics, so I could only look at the extremely weird "mother and daughter" across the table with a smile. Don't tell me, the relationship between Lin and Quina is really...

Nothing like it.

It’s okay if they don’t look alike. Quina’s extrovert and bravery and Lin’s introversion and timidity are two extremes. How did Dragon God, the doormat, educate his children back then?

"When I go back, I will write today's experience into the classics, so that your people will know more about the Lord's tolerance and fraternity." After being nervous and restrained at the beginning, Mr. Will finally relaxed completely and soon became energetic. When he came out, he would be quite relaxed if he just faced Uncle Kenser, so even if he speaks words of piety and reverence, his beaming look does not show any nervousness, "In addition, I will also let the people know about the Xiling Divine System. Please make arrangements in advance according to your instructions, so that if a true god from another world visits you in the future, the people will not be shaken and panicked."

Quina rubbed her neck while chatting with Lin: "Lord, according to your instructions, I have asked many dragons on the planet El Quinan to try to restore contact with local humans. The belief in the Dragon God will extend from the dragons to Human society, but they may not necessarily accept this heterogeneous sect, where humans have believed in mysterious gods for a long time and heretical ideas are deeply rooted.”

"It doesn't matter. It's just to restore normal relations between humans and dragons. The missionary work can be slowed down for a while."

"There are also some giant dragons who are studying the nature of the increase in entropy of the universe. Conservative believers believe that studying these is entering the realm of God, which is an offense to your authority to create the world. They have submitted an arbitration motion. I want to hear your opinion. Opinion. Although I understand that you should allow mortals to pursue knowledge and even imitate the power of gods, it is indeed a little early for them to study this now."

"You just say that God allows mortals to explore all truths without violating the scriptures, but the problem of entropy is a test and treasure left by God to several generations of mortals... Well, let's put it this way, it is left to their descendants by God. Grant the truth and don’t compete with your own descendants. Intentional guidance like this can be more effective than strict prohibition. In addition, you should tacitly allow them to study these things on a small scale. Anyway, the trend of thought has emerged and cannot be suppressed. Just don’t let it get away with you.”

This is basically what the two popes discuss when they are with their God. It sounds like it is their daily work. Whenever this happens, even Lin will show the temperament and foresight commensurate with her status. But I still want to glare at Lilina: Look at this pope!

And at this moment, I suddenly felt a familiar breath appearing nearby.

(I wonder, it’s already this time. It’s my last chance to ask for a monthly ticket!)
