Heroes of the City Edition

To be honest, when Lao Ma heard about this condition, he couldn't help being surprised. .

The sects that can be established as the state religion are all traditional sects that have been preached locally for more than hundreds of years.

Although the Sea God Church is spread all over the world, its influence in some places is still a bit weak.

Of course, in the face of such generous conditions, Lao Ma would naturally not refuse.

The old horse who had recovered his youth immediately fell into a busy state.

As the first Patriarch of the Sea God Church, there are too many important affairs in the Sea God Church that need him to handle.

The first is the negotiation between the countries. Well, this is easy to say. After all, the Sea God Church is not pursuing economic interests. As long as countries open up missionary rights, negotiations will be very easy.

The second is the appointment of the bishops of the dioceses.

Since the clergy above the chief pastor level have been appointed by Cheng Kong himself, Lao Ma can only appoint priests at the level of chief pastor, while the presiding priests at the regional level are appointed by the two patriarchs who assist Lao Ma. The pastor of the next church is appointed by the parish priest.

Such an appointment system is enough to ensure that the future Patriarch and Patriarch will not be nepotism.

Of course, even so, the old horse is very busy.

Lao Ma is also responsible for the division of the main pastoral area of ​​the Sea God Church.

In the era of Seagod Reis Amberley, each main pastorate or bishopric was divided by country.

But such divisions do not apply to Earth.

In the world of heroes, the countries used to be basically the same size, with a population of 200 million per country.

But it is different on the earth. Small countries have hundreds of thousands or millions of people, while medium-sized countries have tens of millions of people, and large countries have hundreds of millions or hundreds of millions of people.

In this way, the division of parishes by country would be meaningless.

Therefore, during this period of time, while busy negotiating with special envoys from all over the world, Lao Ma's daily work is to check the world map and the world population distribution map, and strive to divide the main pastoral areas from the perspective of population, land area and even economic factors. be more reasonable.

The population of each main pastoral area is about 5000 million. According to economic factors or adjustments to the land area, it may reach as many as 8000 to 3000 million people, or as few as [-] to [-] million people.

As a result, some countries need to be divided into more than a dozen or even more main pastoral areas, while smaller countries have a single main pastoral area, and as for smaller countries, several countries are merged into one main pastoral area.

Of course, in this case, there are as many as two hundred main pastoral areas in the world.

In other words, after Lao Ma divided the diocese, he needed to appoint two hundred bishops!

This is a headache appointment work.

First of all, after the two patriarchs select qualified senior pastors and appoint them as the presiding pastors of the regions under the main pastoral districts, Lao Ma can then select candidates for the chief pastors from the presiding pastors in these regions for appointment.

To be honest, just looking at the archives of those pastors gave Ma a headache.

But these materials have to be read, it is impossible to make random appointments, right?

There are at least hundreds of pastors under each head priest. If a bad choice is made, it may cause a big problem in a parish.

Therefore, it is necessary to check the other party's surname, experience, etc. from the archives in order to arrange suitable candidates and the main pastoral area.

Not to mention that Lao Ma and others were busy with the affairs of the Sea God Church, while Cheng Kong was in the Daogui Palace at this time.

At this time, the island turtle palace is completely bathed in a milky white waterfall.

Countless waterfalls of power of faith poured down from the top of the palace, almost submerging Cheng Kong inside.

The crystal on Cheng Kong's forehead directly absorbed the power of faith.

For Cheng Kong, the number of believers under the Sea God Church has exceeded one billion, and the power of faith gathered in this way is constantly being absorbed and transformed by the five godheads.

At this time, Cheng Kong's divine soul was already full of divine power, so the extra divine power was condensed into divine power crystals of different colors according to the different attributes of the godhead, which slowly fell down and hit the ground Up, with a crisp sound.

At this time, on the ground of the mountain top below Cheng Kong's throne, those divine power crystals had piled up like a mountain.

These divine power crystals are of great use to Cheng Kong.

In fact, the conversion of Godhead's power of faith into divine power is a kind of purification. Those powers of faith that were originally mixed with various distracting thoughts of believers were greatly purified after being transformed into divine power. Easy to use magic power.

Well, in essence, there is not much difference between the power of faith and divine power. If there is a difference, then it is the distracting thoughts of believers mixed in the power of faith.

Those believers' distracting thoughts can affect the consciousness of the gods. If they are directly absorbed and used without purification, then the impact on the gods will be great.

There is such a record in the residual memory of Seagod Reis Amberley.

When the world of heroes was relatively ancient, some strange objects became objects of worship by the ancient people.

For example, strangely shaped rocks, twisted creeks, and even some statues made by the ancient people themselves.

Under the influence of the power of faith for a long time, these objects gradually gave birth to spiritual intelligence and became divine creatures, and some of the more powerful ones even became demigods.

But such demigods have been influenced by the distracting thoughts of those believers from the very beginning, so after possessing their own spiritual intelligence, their thinking is composed of more unified distracting thoughts among believers.

For example, a river god usually drives more fish to the shore for those believers, while a mountain god makes believers stronger within their territory, and so on.

But this is not the demigod's care for the believers, but something that is influenced by the believers. .

To be honest, such a thing is quite scary for a god.

The gods are actually influenced by believers, and thus spontaneously do some things.

Perhaps this is the so-called camp.

For a god like this, if its believers are kind, then the god is good, and if the believers are evil, then the god is also evil.

However, in Cheng Kong's view, this kind of god is completely a puppet of believers. If someone uses some skills to control the thinking direction of those believers, I'm afraid that demigod will not be far away from falling.

It is precisely because of this lesson from the past that the demigods behind continued to explore, and finally discovered the method of the godhead to filter out distracting thoughts of belief.

Of course, those believers' distracting thoughts are not without benefits to the gods. If you get in touch with these believers' distracting thoughts in an appropriate amount, it can temper the soul and make it stronger.

But no matter what, Cheng Kong would not be free to find something for himself to contact those believers' distracting thoughts at this time.

Well, Cheng Kong tried it once before, but the moment Cheng Kong came into contact with the distracting thoughts of those believers, Cheng Kong felt like his mind exploded.

Like this kind of distraction of believers, the more believers there are, the more powerful it will be.

With Cheng Kong's huge number of believers, it was enough to blow Cheng Kong's mind.

After all, those so-called distracting thoughts of believers are actually thoughts that pop up in the minds of believers.

For example, what to eat tonight, there is a very beautiful dress in the store, it would be great if I could buy it, and so on.

The number of thoughts in the minds of a billion believers is imaginable.

In fact, if Cheng Kong's divine sense hadn't retreated so quickly, it would have fallen instantly.

Well, this is not something I am enduring at this stage.

And after getting rid of the distracting thoughts of belief, the divine power becomes much purer.

However, Cheng Kong discovered that if the excess divine power was directly condensed into divine power crystals, then after the divine power crystals were transformed into divine power again, the divine power would be more pure.

This is the benefit of condensing the divine power without attributes into the crystallization of divine power with attributes.

Although this will consume a little extra divine power, but in this way, these crystallized divine power can be used as a reserve of divine power for critical times.

Of course, for now, Cheng Kong's main thing is to spend his energy on the turtle palace on the island.

After intervening in the climate change in North America, Cheng Kong noticed a slight repulsion from the whole earth towards him.

This is an inevitable phenomenon. Usually, the gods after conferring gods will be gradually rejected by the original world.

No way, as long as any world is not on the verge of extinction, it has its own perfect rule cycle system, but the gods have too much influence on the world.

Especially in the case of using divine power, this makes the world itself reject the gods like the immune system rejects viruses.

This process usually takes 500 years, but if the gods frequently use divine power to interfere with changes in the world's rules, this process of rejection will be accelerated.

After realizing this, Cheng Kong didn't dare to interfere with the operation of the world's rules, but focused on creating the Kingdom of God.

The kingdom of God is an extension of the gods. Gods can exert their greatest power in the kingdom of gods. In terms of defense, a well-established kingdom of gods can resist enemies that are much stronger than themselves.

For example, Seagod Reis Ambley blocked the joint attack of several gods in his own kingdom of God, but in the end he missed the game and was beaten to pieces.

In any case, the kingdom of God is the place where the gods after conferring the gods will settle down, and Cheng Kong cannot be sloppy.

But if you want to build a kingdom of God, there is a lot of knowledge in it.

The so-called Kingdom of God is a territory transformed by the gods using rules.

There are usually two better solutions for building the Kingdom of God.

One is that the gods go to the void alone, looking for a half-plane or a smaller plane that is growing, as the support of their own kingdom of God, so as to build the kingdom of God.

The second is to build the kingdom of God in the main material plane, and finally take the built kingdom of God together to settle down in the void, um, this is the so-called holding the throne high.

In fact, both methods have their own advantages and disadvantages.

The first method is relatively simple for the gods, and consumes less divine power initially. It is suitable for gods with a small number of believers, and can build the kingdom of God relatively quickly.

But this method has a disadvantage, that is, the constructed kingdom of God, due to the half-plane, smaller planes have fewer original rules, so the defense of the kingdom of God is weaker, and if you want to make up for this disadvantage, then the gods It takes a long time and a lot of divine power to constantly build new rules.

And the second method is to build the Kingdom of God in the main material plane.

The number of rules in the main material plane is extremely large, because building the Kingdom of God is essentially distorting the original rules to the extent you need, or adding new rules to serve yourself.

Therefore, there are a lot of rules that need to be distorted, and the amount of divine power consumed in this way is naturally frightening. If you want to build the Kingdom of God without distorting the rules, it is not impossible, but the number of loopholes in the Kingdom of God is also heinous of.

Well, it also consumes a lot of divine power when holding the throne high at the end.

In short, the second method is completely prepared for those gods with a huge number of believers.

Cheng Kong naturally chose the second method.

Well, Cheng Kong has also noticed that the universe where the earth is located does not have the so-called demiplanes or planes.

If there are any, then maybe those planets are?

Is Jupiter an atmospheric plane?Is the white dwarf considered an earth plane?Is the yellow dwarf a mix of the plane of light and the plane of fire?

And the earth is the main plane?

Compared with building the Kingdom of God on the demiplane, building the Kingdom of God on the main plane, um, on Earth has great benefits.

Cheng Kong took the time to break through the atmosphere and went directly to Venus and Mars, the two closer planets, to check.

The result made Cheng Kong quite disappointed.

These two planets are not very suitable for building the Kingdom of God. Mars basically does not have many atmospheric rules and water rules, and Venus is now too strong in atmospheric rules.

A planet like this would be quite suitable for some gods with weird origins.

For example, Venus is good for the god of air elements, Mars is good for the god of drought, etc.

But Cheng Kong was not one of those gods with weird backgrounds, and Cheng Kong's believers were all human beings who were not used to that extreme environment.

Therefore, Cheng Kong's final plan is to build the Kingdom of God on the basis of the Island Turtle Palace.

The Island Turtle Palace was originally a small part of the Seagod Reis Amberi's Divine Kingdom, but the Divine Kingdom was shattered by the cooperation of the gods, and now there is only such a small part left.

After Cheng Kong ignited the divine fire to take over the remnants of the Kingdom of God, he had already enjoyed the benefits of the remaining power of the Kingdom of God.

If it weren't for the addition of the power of the kingdom of God, Cheng Kong's speed of analyzing the rules would never have been so fast.

Another 20 years have passed in Cheng Kong's continuous analysis rules.

In these 20 years, with the backing of the True God, the Sea God Church has developed faster than the previous 50 years.

The initial period is the hardest for the development of faith.

As I said before, this is similar to doing business. If you want to earn 100 yuan with a capital of 200 yuan, it is not easy, but if you want to earn 100 million yuan with 200 million yuan, the difficulty is greatly reduced.

The number of believers in the Sea God Church reached one billion, and under the awe of God's punishment, all countries competed to support the mission of the Sea God Church. When the two added together, the number of believers suddenly increased dramatically.

There has been a saying in China since ancient times: Those who are close to ink are black, and those who are close to vermilion are red.

If the people around him believed in the Sea God, it would be difficult for non-believers in it to resist the infection of this belief with the passage of time.

After these 20 years have passed, the number of followers of Sea God Church has skyrocketed to nearly 70 billion.

You must know that the current global population is only about 90 billion, and the number of Sea God believers accounts for more than half.

With such a proportion of believers, even if the priests of the Sea God Church no longer work hard to preach, it will only take ten years at most. I am afraid that there will not be many human beings who do not believe in Sea God in the world.

In the Daogui Palace, Cheng Kong was already surrounded by countless storms and rays of light, and his feet were already covered with colorful crystals of divine power, and this carpet made of crystals of divine power even spread out.

With the throne mountain peak as the center, on the seabed of hundreds of square kilometers around, the crystallization of divine power is fully paved with a thickness of ten meters.

Cheng Kong's eyes were also closed for 20 years.

Suddenly, the storm surrounding Cheng Kong suddenly dissipated the light. At this moment, Cheng Kong slowly opened his eyes.

In the past 20 years, Cheng Kong has not only continued to analyze the rules, but also accumulated the crystallization of divine power needed to build the Kingdom of God.

Building the Kingdom of God is like assembling a computer. It requires a combination of various hardware, and these hardware are the rules. All the rules are either distorted from the existing rules, or they need to be created by themselves.

But all of this requires a lot of divine power as the basis for consumption before it can be realized.

Therefore, Cheng Kong needed to reserve a large amount of divine power crystals for backup, otherwise, when the kingdom of God was built, if it failed due to insufficient divine power, Cheng Kong would vomit blood.

Of course, in terms of the number of Cheng Kong's current believers, such a situation should not happen, but just in case, it is natural to have as many divine power crystals as possible.

But by this time, Cheng Kong had already accumulated a lot of divine power crystallization.

Each divine power crystal needs the power of faith of one hundred believers to condense for a year, and the number of divine power crystals in the seabed under Cheng Kong's feet is probably no less than [-] or [-] million.

To be honest, it would take tens of thousands of years for ordinary gods to condense such a large amount of divine power.

It can also be seen from this that Cheng Kong is uniquely blessed to be a god on earth.

"Hey!"

Cheng Kong gave a soft drink, and water-blue ripples rushed out of his body and spread towards the surroundings.

In a blink of an eye, the water-blue ripples covered the entire island turtle palace, and then transformed into a raging wave.

The spread of this wave made the sea level around the island turtle suddenly raised by one layer.

Then a cloud of mist rose from the sea surface to cover the raised sea surface, and after that, there was a sound of shaking from the bottom of the sea.

If someone dived into the bottom of the sea at this time, they would be horrified to find that a huge crack had opened in the bottom of the sea under the island turtle palace, and countless magma rolled out under high pressure, and it solidified immediately after encountering sea water, but the sea water Boiling continuously on top of the hot magma, forming steam that continuously rises upwards.
