Overgod Ascension

"King? Savior?"

Wu Ming was startled and then laughed: "Is it possible?"

"Everything is possible, especially for you who inherit the legacy of the Conqueror!"

The Archbishop said solemnly.

"You really know everything!"

The expression on Wu Ming's face also calmed down: "Indeed, I have the ambition to unify Fengying Plain, but so what? Is the church prepared to invest in me?"

"Yes, on behalf of the entire church, I am ready to invest in you and support you in unifying the entire Fengying Plain!"

affirmed the archbishop.

"Why?"

Wu Ming turned his head and stared at the Archbishop with a speechless expression: "Just because of a prophecy?"

"That is not a prophecy, but a reality one day in the future!"

The archbishop smiled slightly: "Do you know where the Lord we believe in originally came from? Our church is actually the product of the oath of the five ancient kings. It is a preparation for a joint fight against the giant snake one day in the future. So Do you understand what I said?"

"The one who formed you is...the Uncrowned King? The Great Sage?"

Wu Ming expressed his judgment. This kind of long-term layout may only be possible by the evil sage in history.

"good!"

The Archbishop nodded.

"Is the god you believe in... the Great Sage?"

Wu Ming suddenly thought of the inheritance of the power of all peoples that he had just obtained. If he revised it again, it might not be a good piece of Shinto law.

"no!"

The archbishop looked solemn and answered in an affirmative tone: "The great sage saw that the people needed sustenance in their hearts, so he chose the image of the Lord. It represents truth and nothingness, but it is just a symbol! Although the sage established a canon, he never asked for anything A person believes in him, but lets people find salvation on their own... When we pray to God, we are actually just praying to ourselves. This is the true meaning of all gods without faces!"

He said in a reverent voice: "This is a secret passed down from word to mouth by the top leaders of our church. The great sage passed away peacefully at the end of his life. He did not become a god because his wish was to As a mortal, he lives a perfect life."

‘This is against the rules! ’

Wu Ming secretly complained: ‘Aren’t most of the gods of light and monotheistic religions in past life novels always set as villains? Why did someone so noble suddenly appear? This style of painting is wrong! ’

"Wait a minute!"

He suddenly remembered something different: "Then what happened to the several oracles in your church's history and the saint Gabriel?"

"That is also the real God, the Lord of our faith..."

I don’t know why, but there was a wry smile on the corner of the archbishop’s mouth: “Although the great sage’s intentions are good, in the end, there are still few smart people and many ignorant people in this world!”

"Smart people who believe in our Lord only believe in themselves and redeem themselves, but more fools really entrust their faith to that nihilistic Lord, a god symbol..."

Wu Ming understood immediately that the incense of mortal faith was the most incredible thing in the world.

Even if a clay statue of a god is worshiped too much, it will produce humane gods, let alone a church symbol with complete doctrine and clear organization?

Therefore, over a long period of time, that symbol only had a symbolic meaning. After absorbing enough power of faith, it actually responded, as if a brand new god was born!

At the moment when the oracle came, the hearts of all the church leaders must have collapsed.

And a god, even a newly born god, will start to instinctively ask for more, so it is reasonable to issue an oracle to expand the church.

Naturally, there are not all saints in the church. There are ordinary people and those who are greedy for profit. The emergence of the new god is a great opportunity for them to seize power, so they come out to cause trouble.

This kind of internal strife is often more terrifying and terrifying than external battles.

During the most intense period, saints like Gabriel even appeared!

Fortunately, the laws of this world are extremely repulsive to the extraordinary power of the legal system. Although Gabriel showed off his power for a while, he was eventually defeated. He was not even elected as the Pope, and died in an unknown manner. The inside story is really worth pondering. .

In short, after experiencing a counterattack by the New Gods, the church's senior leaders still managed to take control of the situation and quietly waited for the day to fulfill their mission.

Although these are just Wu Ming's imagination, they should not be too different from the facts.

The archbishop obviously didn't know Wu Ming's inner slander, and continued: "You have obtained the certificate of king and have the legal authority to rule the Fengying Plain. Moreover, in order to unite the entire continent and fight against the upcoming disaster, we also need a wise and kind person. King, I think you are very suitable!"

"You really...know everything."

Wu Ming was silent for a moment.

"So, what's your choice?"

The archbishop looked at Wu Ming expectantly: "To conquer the entire Fengying Plain, you need our help!"

"Of course I know!"

Even though they have been quietly farming for several years, and even have the confidence to overthrow the Earl of Blue Mountain and Viscount Garcia in one fell swoop, conquest is easy, but effective rule is the most difficult.

A sect that is rooted in the local area, has a long history, and has strong vitality, naturally meets his needs for governance.

It's just that the cooperation between divine power and royal power, even if it benefits temporarily, will have too many disadvantages in the future.

Wu Ming thought for a while and finally answered: "But you must agree to a few conditions!"

"Please say!"

The Archbishop held out his right hand.

"You must publicize that I am the reincarnation of your Lord, coming to earth to obtain the throne! I will open to you the right to preach in my territory in the future, but the canon must be approved by me, and the face of the god in the church, I Ask to change it to look like me!”

Wu Ming quickly finished these thunderous conditions, and immediately saw the archbishop standing there stunned.

Fortunately, this church was not composed of fanatic believers from the beginning. Otherwise, the archbishop would have to immediately declare Wu Ming as an eternal enemy of the church, and he would have to be completely destroyed both physically and mentally.

"You want to...become a god?"

The archbishop stared at Wu Ming in disbelief.

"I just want to ensure that in the future, the power is still in my hands!"

Wu Ming looked at the Archbishop: "Do you hope that in the future, the sleeping New God will wake up again and seize power from you? If you don't want to, you can only support me and erase it from the source!"

As a Shinto emperor and a sixth-level immortal, Wu Ming is quite familiar with the conquests in Shinto.

Many gods have the ability to be immortal, incense will not fall, and thoughts will not be destroyed. The only way to completely kill them is to start from the root of belief and make the entire universe without his belief.

In this way, unless they can directly communicate with the origin and obtain the status of the ancient gods in the world, other great gods will slowly die out and fall into the long river of history.

Since the New God is just a symbol, Wu Ming now wants to pull out all the stops and replace that virtual concept with himself.

In fact, it is to snatch away faith and turn it into one's own accumulation.

"This...I need to think about it carefully!"

The archbishop frowned, but this expression immediately let Wu Ming know that the church was not omniscient.

At least, they were kept in the dark about the inheritance of the Power of All Peoples.

"We can only modify the statues of gods. Active publicity is impossible! This is against our scriptures!"

I don’t know if the words to obliterate the new gods had any effect. The archbishop gritted his teeth and said: "And you can’t modify our doctrine at will, let alone interfere with the personnel appointments of our church!"

"Then you still agreed!"

Wu Ming almost laughed in his heart, but he didn't show it at all on his face: "On issues related to the church, I still appreciate the saying, let God's things belong to God, and what belongs to men belong to men!"

"very good!"

The archbishop nodded: "From today on, the church will fully support you in obtaining the entire Fengying Plain!"

"This is for our cause!"

Wu Ming didn't know why, but a scene of a group of holy warriors holding swords in one hand and scriptures in the other suddenly appeared in his mind, like a holy war, which was quite unexpected and exciting.

"In that case, Sir William! I have some news to inform you!"

After making the contract of collusion, the two parties now had a basis of interest and were almost considered allies. The archbishop immediately gave Wu Ming some crucial news: "The Earl of Blue Mountain has issued a mobilization order for the second battle between ligers and tigers. It’s already started!”

In the view of the church, the Earl of Blue Mountain was old and did not have much enterprising spirit, while Viscount Garcia was too aggressive.

Of course, the most important thing is that they are not the person predicted by the great sage, and they have not obtained Taller's king certificate!

Therefore, when the conflict between the two breaks out, there are only good things and no bad things for the church.

However, for Wu Ming, it is not necessarily the case.

"Before I set off, the parishioners of the Tucker Mountains brought me news... An envoy under the Earl of Blue Mountain has arrived in your territory. Lady Amelia seems to be facing difficulties!"

Once a war breaks out, a steady stream of money, food, and support from soldiers is obviously very important.

Naturally, the Earl of Blue Mountain would not let Carlos lead away, but he actually sent an envoy, which was a little beyond Wu Ming's expectations.

After all, as the orthodox controller of the territory, he was not around, and it was easy for Amelia and Geoff to show their cowardice in front of the orthodox nobles.

In this era, once a lord leaves his fief for too long, he will be regarded as derelict in his duties and may be deprived of his title.

It's a pity that this inheritance is more related to my future plans. I have to choose the lesser of two evils.

Now, it's time to pay the price for your previous sloppy behavior.

Maybe it would be a good idea to rush back to the territory as quickly as possible?
