Invincible Chapter 196
When many people mention Fengshen, they think, wow, it's so high-end.
In fact, the high-end ones are not gods, or in other words, the high-end ones are not only gods, but also human hearts.
There is a related proverb in the East, which has actually explained God very thoroughly: Believe it, there is it;
From ancient times to the present, there have been god-making movements in both the East and the West. Its external characteristics may be the image of a prophet in white foam, a monk in cassock, or a leader of the people, these are not important , the important thing is to let him handle the core concept, that is to say.
In other words, a successful leader can become a worshiped god if he goes too far in the promotional packaging.
Of course, with the enlightenment of people's wisdom, ordinary people's horizons and knowledge reserves are getting higher and higher, and it is not so easy to fool around. Believing in God is worse than believing in yourself, there has never been a savior, etc.
So is there a God?
Kane's cognition is that there can be.
It all depends on how people understand it.
For a group of primitive tribes, an engineering student with explosive hands-on ability can be the god of craftsmen. There is nothing wrong with using God to highlight its powerful and mysterious characteristics.
A modern human being who is materialistic and recognizes natural science will inevitably admit that there are too many phenomena in this world and this universe that humans cannot understand the essence of, and there are too many knowledge and technologies to be discovered by people, and even the mastered Knowledge is not static, but is constantly being revised.
So, assuming that modern people are positioned as primitive savages, is there such a high-profile engineering student?
You may have.
The multiverse achieves this difference.
Phenomena and things with such temporarily unresolvable features that separate them from each other are called extraordinary.
For the reincarnators of the Wanxiangmen system, transcendence is such a concept, and it is a universal cognition. Magic is an energy science, extraordinaryness is a natural science, and God is a relative concept, an intelligent existence who masters high-end technology.
It is worth mentioning that this is a way of explaining God. It is not absolutely correct, nor is it the only one, but has a corresponding need.
For reincarnators, it is necessary to give God a position from the perspective of rank,
To evaluate, judge, and compare details, because reincarnated people are climbers driven by the death whip of the Vientiane Gate system. The peak of power is not the highest, only higher. All intelligent existence with self-consciousness must Quantification is within this system, and its position is marked. If it is strong enough to a certain extent, it can be called God Generation.
It is also because of the distinctive characteristics of grade marking that gods are different from gods, and there are specific types and levels.
Godfrey is relatively low-end in terms of type and level, but he has the same divine flame as the only god.
When it comes to the divine flame, one cannot fail to talk about its source, the tinder.
Fire is a kind of resource. How it is generated is a mystery of the universe. Kane doesn't know it. He just knows that among the elements that promote its generation, there must be a soul.
The deepest deconstruction of it by the reincarnation is the genetic gene of spirituality.
In other words, tinder does have inheritance and nurturing properties.
Since it can be cultivated, it may grow crooked. Of course, this crooked definition is defined from the perspective of people looking at things. Objectively speaking, it is an influence and should not be tinged with praise or criticism.
In Kane's eyes, the God family has a very high level of fire because of monotheism, all-inclusive, omniscient and omnipotent. This kind of fire is extremely versatile. If there is a chance, it is worth the effort to get it. Kind of delivered to the mouth.
If God doesn't take it, you will be blamed instead. When you don't welcome it, you will suffer from it.
To put it bluntly, it means to act when it is time to act, to be decisive and sharp.
In the side hall of Temple Mountain, Kael, the magic stick program, reappeared in front of the rescued people.
"Everyone, my lord is willing to bless you. Believers, please bathe and change clothes, and remain solemn."
With this sentence, the Conferred God Ritual began.
Compared with the moment of becoming a god, the most important thing is to go through the ritual process seriously, which directly determines whether you can succeed in conferring a god.
Of course, Kael must not say to the believers: "You are the ones who determine success or failure."
Those who are familiar with MLM brainwashing will have a strong sense of déjà vu when they see what Kael has done.
First of all, solemnity needs to be emphasized, and its subtext is: unrestrained chatting and communication are prohibited.
Then there are the people who get together. The number should not be too many, basically no more than a hundred people. If there are too many people, it is easy to be chaotic, it is difficult to create an atmosphere, and the sermons are easy to be detected.
The core of evangelism is indoctrination, not seminars, let alone debates.
During this period, Enwei is naturally indispensable. Those who engage in pyramid schemes generally take the wind to clean up the dust, eat something good, and show off the successful ones by the way, look forward to the future, and coax the target into the pit, such as taking the money by registering and other tricks...
And tonight's rescue, healing, and consolation are the extraordinary version of grace.
Wei also used it. A believer who was rescued turned out to be an evil believer and a spy. When he received divine power to heal his wounds, the divine power broke his disguise and made him show the original appearance of a monster. He was then killed .
Of course, this is just a play. How can it be possible to let heretics get in if you can distinguish the enemy from the color of your soul? It's just to let people deepen their impressions through comparison.
Belief is something that is suitable for pointing out, pointing at the sidelines, but not for inciting.
From the beginning to the end, Kael did not want people to believe, but made a fuss about the concept of seeking good luck, avoiding bad luck and being blessed.
Now, under the guidance of Kael, people pass through the magnificent hall and enter the bathing place. Unlike the bathing they imagined, this bathing place turned out to be a strange waterway. On both sides of the water channel, there are luminous pure water cascading down from the acupoints, and the water in the channel is also transparent and luminous, giving people a dreamlike sense of cleanliness.
"Whoever does not believe in the power of our Lord shall not be baptized."
Kael said again: "I won't see other people when I take a bath, so don't panic, just move forward."
People are actually worried. In the past, the faith of the Guangming Church focused on self-belief. This is a Protestant way of playing. It does not require pastors or priests, and believers can directly contact God.
However, after being rescued this time, Kael said that baptism and precepts always have a solemn beginning before they can be considered as real introductions.
When people think about it, it seems to be right, but they didn't expect the rules to be so big, and they didn't expect it to be so magical. After all, in people's minds, it is not the true God that people believe in, but a prophet like Moses and Muhammad.
However, now that it has started, it cannot be stopped. Moreover, they have been given enough time to think before, and people have figured it out.
Have you really figured it out?
not necessarily.
There is a manipulation called they think their actions are voluntary.
The first and second, with the leader, the others followed in turn.
Most of the people here are not believers. They feel dazed and fearful, doubtful and stressed. They don't know whether they are considered believers now. If they fail, will something terrible happen?
In fact, they are already trying to convince themselves at this time, because they need the protection and blessing of the prophet, and they are eager to get more comfort and hope.
Walking into the waterway, I was left alone, with no one in front or behind, and a gentle voice rang in my ears, instructing people on what to do.
Take off your clothes and walk naked.
As far as people are concerned, clothes not only have physical needs, but also psychological needs. Openly facing a group of people wearing clothes naked will instinctively give birth to a lack of basic protection, not just the shame of exposing private parts.
Rituals, from beginning to end, are a process of restraining and guiding people's psychology. No one else can be seen in this waterway, but there is a gentle voice ringing in his ears, and people will subconsciously think: at least I can see everything in a glance in the eyes of the prophet...
After walking through the waterway, there are flame corridors, wind corridors, each with strange scenery and sayings, and finally the solemn and solemn hall of the earth.
Here, people got new clothes, a sleeveless robe of white linen. After putting it on, tie it with a black belt, and then, under the guidance, hold the holy emblem that is said to have not yet been consecrated, and head to the ceremony hall.
People don't know that the savior they are counting on, not long ago, worked hard as a senior coolie in order to build a ritual corridor for bathing and changing clothes.
Yes, the original Temple Mountain did not have those. It was the blueprint drafted by Kane to achieve the mystery and magnificence of the simplified version of the Temple of Elements and serve the rituals.
As long as you carefully go through the complicated rituals, the contempt and distracting thoughts will be eliminated one by one. This is a kind of atmosphere, and the feeling of sacredness and solemnity is constantly guided and accumulated by sensory stimulation. It can be raised to a level that makes people really distracted and memorable, even if they know it is a performance, they will recognize it, just like some sensational movie clips, the foreshadowing, characters, background and music are in place, knowing it is fake, It can also be a tearjerker.
The first scene of the Temple Mountain that Kane arrived at through the spiral staircase of the Hall of Two Worlds was the sacred hall. Although it is magnificent and magnificent, it is a collection of palace-level art, but in Kane's view, it is still a bit too hot.
What's the difference? theme.
As the temple of God, it is too gorgeous and fancy. He failed to jump out of the category of prosperity and wealth, and failed to show extraordinary and refined characteristics.
Therefore, redecorating and decorating the sacred hall is also one of Godfrey's jobs.
Of course, this kind of operation does not need to destroy the original, but to perform shell processing, just like putting on a liner, but it is more complicated, because the original features will be integrated to a certain extent.
In fact, the most important thing is the use of light. When used well, ordinary or ordinary people can create magnificent, mysterious and unique effects. This is something known to modern people who have a little understanding of decoration, but in this era, not many people understand the value of light and shadow.
Under Kane's guidance, Godfrey almost squandered all his divine power savings, and finally completed a series of extraordinary-level decoration work similar to magical shaping in a fast and efficient manner.
One banquet and one show, the stage is set up, and now, the actors are all in place one after another.
The next step is to perform by yourself, to appreciate by yourself, and to be moved by yourself. Referred to as self-hey.
Under Kael's scheduling, the last part of the ritual begins.
A simple summary is to walk around, shout a few slogans, and walk around again. It is very simple and impossible to be complicated. After all, there is no rehearsal or special practice. But with audio and video effects, everything has become different.
Sensory stimuli can mobilize people's emotions. Kane once cast a streamer and deep cosmic scene on the invading Nerva and his party in Nozawa Garden, which left an unforgettable impression on the determined witch hunters. It was grand and shocking suddenly.
But what this Conferred God Ceremony needs is a gradual ascension, gradually reaching the highest point.
"Please sing with me, thank you Prophet, you have filled our hearts with joyful spirit!" Kael's voice sounded in everyone's ears.
People chant along.
"Thank you to the Prophet for giving us strength and making us strong during our life journey!"
"Bless our hearts and minds so that we may do your will."
"Please use Your words to be in our hearts a light for our journey and a lamp for our feet, strengthen our faith, and let us learn from Your example throughout our lives and walk in the path that pleases You."…
The prayers are actually not very brilliant, the state of mind is the key point.
Chanting over and over again, simple ritual actions, but the feedback given by the hall is gradually enhanced, in addition to the light and shadow effects, there are also spell effects cast on people.
The more focused and heartfelt you are, the more you can experience the infusion of refreshing waves, and there will be rewards for your efforts, and feedback for your sincerity, and the real price is the death of the god plasma fruit field of Scarlet Manor.
The holy emblems hanging around people's necks gradually began to glow.
From belief to doubt, the ordinary prayer finally moved me, triggering the pure power of faith.
The power of faith, a kind of soul energy, is a high-energy state, the purity is up to the standard, and the amount is sufficient, so it can be used for some special extraordinary operations.
In the Supreme Hall, Godfrey was sitting on the throne, and the power of faith descended from the sky, covering him and the throne in the form of beams of light. On Godfrey's body, phantoms began to leave, as if they were about to fly away along the light, and finally The key stripping of the mind and soul has begun.
