Chapter 805 Theism

Moving the external sacred fire into the original sacred fire and then taking out the new sacred fire is a prescribed action. The temples in various places must be rotated dozens of times every year, so it is naturally impossible to perform large-scale sacrifices every time. But after all, this is still held at the Holy Fire Land. There is no sacrifice at all, and it would be outrageous to just throw it in like ordinary fire. Now it has gradually become a short process, with one priest plus eight young priests, as usual. Got it done.

Here in a temple, the external ceremony has been completed in a hurry. It is time for eight young priests to carry the sacred fire into the sacred fire altar and introduce it into the sacred fire. At this time, a young trainee priest, a child in his teens, ran He came out and said hurriedly: "Wait a moment, the process of introducing the divine fire has to be postponed."

Everyone was startled, and then felt a little unhappy. The leading priest is also inside the Holy Fire Altar. He is not a high-ranking priest among the priests. He is still young, but he is also a serious priest. He said solemnly: "Why? What happened? Could it be that there was an accident at the Holy Fire Altar?"

If there is an accident, no one can say anything. Instead, they have to help, even if they risk their lives.

Unexpectedly, the trainee priest shook his head and said: "No, there are more important things at the Holy Fire Altar."

The priest felt unhappy after hearing this and said, "What's the important thing? Isn't it important that I bring back the divine fire? If it's really an important event, it should be prepared for a few days. How can it be 'temporary'?"

The trainee priest shook his head and lowered his voice and said, "Actually, a big shot is here." He made a hat shape on his head with his hand and said, "A big one."

The priest was surprised and said, "High priest?"

When the trainee priest looked up, he clearly meant: It needs to be even bigger. The eyes of the fire elves are very big, and the look in their eyes is very obvious.

The young priest immediately became speechless. He knew that this meant that a big shot from the Presbyterian Church had come, maybe the chief priest himself. With such a big shot standing in front of him, what could he say?

But he was very surprised. Since he was that kind of big shot, he wanted to enter the Holy Fire Land just like entering his home. He could come in openly and let everyone greet him. Why did he feel a little sneaky today?

"Hui... want to bring the holy fire on board." In front of the blazing holy fire, an old man with red beard and red hair said solemnly. The flame of the holy fire was reflected in his eyes, making his eyeballs look like two round ones. Ruby, "This time is related to the rise and fall of our clan. If we can do it, we will get rid of the fate of being just a low-ranking clan and rise to the top in one fell swoop."

"But...but..." Beside him, there was a fire spirit tribesman with the same bright red hair, but younger. His clothes may not be so luxurious, but they are exquisite and elegant, and he has a very holy feeling. He is also the Holy Fire Altar Now Mingming The presenter is the Son of Fire, the Holy Son of the Fire Clan.

"But the agreement of the hundreds of tribes says that this is a human ship, and no god can board it. Those powerful gods do this, so how can our tribe violate it?"

The old man looked deeply at the young man and said, "It is precisely because our gods are not those beings that we can do this."

He paused and said: "There are only two of you and me here. I came up from your position. We can speak frankly. Our God is different from other gods. Other gods are priests who are completely obedient to God. The decree, but here... we can make the decision."

The young man's eyes were in a trance and he said: "Elder... everyone knows about this kind of thing? I thought it was me..."

The old man said lightly: "Do you think you are not pious enough, so you have never received a response from God after serving for many years? No, there is more than one person like this. We have been like this from generation to generation. We can get the power of God, but never get the response from God. Metaphor. God does not express His thoughts or even existence in any form. So..."

So after a long time, everyone will doubt whether there is a God.

I question whether the blazing flames in front of me, which brought light and power to the clan, are gods?

If you were relatively innocent when you were young, you would probably only doubt yourself and feel that you did not get a response because you did not have the qualifications to serve God. But later on, especially when you entered the presbytery and communicated with the seniors, you understood that everyone was like this , it’s time to doubt something more fundamental.

This son of fire is the kind of person who is more questioning and very courageous. He was silent for a while and said: "Tell me, is it not just our gods? In fact, all the gods will not respond. Everyone knows this, but they all Pretending to be gods..." Before he could finish speaking, the old man had already said word by word: "That's absolutely not the case! Other gods are real. I have not only seen the miracles of other gods, but also seen the projection of the true god coming. ! That is the power of God alone, and it cannot be faked. There is a God in this world, but our God is not like that.”

The Son of Fire seemed to have been hit hard and said: "Ah, are we the only ones who are different?"

The old man whispered: "Who knows? The heavenly world is said to be a hundred tribes, but in fact no one can tell how many tribes there are. There is no problem with the gods of the nine or eighteen tribes in the sky, and each of them has the incarnation of the god world. According to the deeds, we even launched a divine war with each other, and finally established a joint covenant to govern the world, which is the law of God that we all abide by. This can never be faked, but we are the same small tribe, although we all claim to have gods. , everyone has faith, but they believe in the true God, or even more... Who knows? After all, the number of gods is limited. Some ethnic groups may just want to protect themselves, because according to God's laws, no. Ethnic groups and individuals who believe in gods are not protected and will be annexed and plundered at will, so today hundreds of tribes say that they have gods..."

He shook his head: "There are some completely exclusive gods that strictly require only one ethnic group to accept believers... It arouses suspicion, isn't it?" He shook his head again and said, "We talk in private, and we must not say this to outsiders. Said it would cause a war."

He said very seriously: "But our God is different from some fools! Our God is the real God. This is something I only figured out later. You said power, don't we get it from God? The gift of strength? You talk about spirit, aren’t we united under the holy fire and moving forward bravely? And this god is actually more generous than those small gods or even the middle gods, but he never asks for anything, and is more generous than those harsh, cruel, and moody gods. Gods are kind, aren’t they the gods we rely on and believe in? What are you doubting and asking for?”

After hearing this, the Son of Fire felt like he was sweating all over, and felt very relaxed. He felt relieved and said, "Yes."

The old man waved his hand and said: "You just need to understand this yourself, and don't tell outsiders. Well, so, we have to find a way to bring the holy fire on board. The agreement reached by the tribes said that only when people get on board, the gods If you don’t get on the boat, I don’t think man has abandoned God, but God has abandoned man.”

His voice lowered. Although this place couldn't be more secretive, he still had to speak in a low voice because it might be considered blasphemous. If he didn't have the previous knowledge and truly believed in a true God, he would never say such a thing.

"The world is going to be destroyed. God can't save everyone, but they themselves should not be destroyed, so they don't follow the survivors to escape. They look down on the millions of people on the ship, but they are believers of higher-ranking gods. There are more than this, not to mention so many gods? I think they have abandoned our spiritual world and are going to the new world. I don’t know if they have found their target or they are confident that they can find it slowly. Anyway, the people on the ship are. Survivors are also abandoned by God.”

He looked directly at the flames and said affirmatively: "But we are different...our gods will not abandon us. We, the Fire Spirit Clan, have the last clan member left, and the Taixiong God will also have the last spark left. We Follow God, God will follow us and never leave us.”

The young priest was trembling all over after what he said, and said: "Yes, the ship is full of abandoned ones. No matter how powerful they were in the past, they are no longer what they were before without the blessing of the gods. But we have the blessing of the gods, and our strength may be even stronger. By the time we arrive, Even if there are only a few of us, we can become the most powerful people. When we get on the ship, we are weak and inferior, but when we get off the ship, it may not be the case. Maybe we will become the only god!"

He was excited for a moment and then said: "But how to bring it up? As a small tribe like ours, the luggage that can be brought up is limited, and the holy fire must be brought in completely. If the fire is separated, it will be just another temple. Divine fire will lose its divinity after a while.”

The old man said: "Yes, so we have to seal the Holy Fire... together with part of the Holy Fire... and then refine and compress it to the minimum. If it can be reduced to the size of a fruit, that would be the best, at least it should be We are willing to spend all our energy and all the time we have left to fit it into a box.”

The son of fire knew that this was only possible. Whether it could be done and whether it could be done within the specified time could only depend on luck. The risk must be very high, but at this time, he could only do his best. He immediately said: "What do you need me to do?"

The old man said: "You are not needed now. When the fire is mastered, you will be brought on board to lead the people to continue fighting. These days, you will be responsible for guarding the door. No one is allowed to come in here, and no news is allowed to leak. Who leaked? Feng, who is the traitor who will not regret his death?"

The Son of Fire agreed and said: "There are a few people waiting outside. They are from the temple in the outer city to exchange for the divine fire. Should we let them go back?"

The old man said: "Let this wave come in. It would be strange to ask them to go back for no reason, not to mention that one more point of divine fire can also increase one point of strength. The matter of replacing the divine fire has been stopped during this period. Go and ask them to come in."
