Dragon, choose cultural victory to make money

Bruce once again returned to the Ascendant Sanctuary.

Since becoming a sage, he seldom comes here except for necessary sage meetings.

The original reason for joining the Soul Ascenders was for the knowledge passed down from generation to generation.

But now, after receiving the guidance of the great Drogo, the knowledge of those soul raisers is no longer of much concern.

Even in the holy land, looking at these soul raisers who were busy working for an illusory goal and knew nothing about the more powerful power, a strange sense of superiority arose in his heart.

You believe in a man-made god that has not yet been created.

What I believe in is a real existence, a true God who comes from eternity, masters the ultimate secret, and now plays in the world in the form of a dragon.

My God is higher than your God.

Your God is just an experimental phenomenon that my God wants to observe.

Not worth a penny.

It's probably this kind of superiority.

It can be said that this is a good insight into the essence of religious wars, which is "my God is more powerful than your God."

It feels like a quarrel between two kids, "My dad is more powerful than your dad!"

Bruce's appearance in the Ascendant Sanctuary is very similar to his own appearance.

He doesn't like to hide himself in a fictitious shell.

However, he still made his image a little younger than his real self, probably so that one can tell at a glance the difference between an old man who is not far from death and an elderly man who is still in relatively good health.

The clothes he wore were also very simple, a very plain robe without any patterns or symbols to prove his status.

He always believed that only those who lacked strength and were not confident in their status would hang something that could reveal their identity at a glance in the most conspicuous place.

Bruce walked on the magnificent streets he had not seen for a long time, and passers-by around him all saluted respectfully when they saw him.

He is highly respected here.

Not only because of his status as a sage, but also because of his contributions to the sect during this period.

The Soul Ascenders will rate new research content published in the Sanctuary, and the basis for the rating is mainly the number of times the published content is cited by other research.

Bruce's work published in recent months has been leading in citations by a large margin.

He is an academic star that is rising in the sanctuary.

If you have knowledge, you will be respected.

Although the Soul Ascenders are classified as a cult, this is mainly due to their behavior that disregards life, based solely on their internal operating logic.

This sect is quite reasonable.

Bruce did not return the greeting to the person who greeted him. On the one hand, he could not return the greeting. On the other hand, he knew that this knowledge was not studied by himself, but was the grace of the great Drogo. He had no right to accept respect from others on behalf of Drogo.

But in the eyes of passers-by, this is the coolness and personality of a master.

Bruce made his way to the Great Library.

As a wise man, he did not need to bring his new research to the press conference in the square.

That's where newcomers go who haven't made their mark yet.

Only then can new people's discoveries gain enough attention.

All he needs to do is upload the content to the big library, and naturally countless people will come to read it.

Bruce took a deep breath. It was time to carry out the oracle from the great Drogo and advance the Soul Ascender's plan to create a god.

He uploaded the experiment he had just completed to the knowledge base of the Great Library.

"A study of the power of belief, a method of observing belief."

“The relationship between consciousness and entity, and the conjecture about how beliefs shape conscious entities.”

“Experimental record: The relationship between the amount of belief input simultaneously and the shaping of consciousness entities.”

……

Several contents have been uploaded.

To sum up, the soul ascender's own method of creating gods is not enough. It is not enough to just upload the consciousness. It is necessary to gather enough faith at the same time to turn the consciousness into an entity and eventually become a real "God".

Of course, he is only the real God in the dreams of the Ascending Souls.

In Bruce's opinion, it was just a test product.

The only reason this experiment exists is because He is interested in taking a look.

After doing what he needed to do, Bruce did not leave, but just waited there.

He was very sure that these things would soon create huge waves among the Soul Ascenders, after all, they were things related to their ultimate ideals.

So all we have to do is wait until the other sages react, and then hold an emergency meeting.

The knowledge base of the Soul Ascender has a very unique design.

That is, every piece of officially uploaded content has its own discussion area, where anyone can express their own opinions, ask questions, doubt, verify, all kinds of opinions, as long as they are relevant.

Once upon a time, the discussion area of ​​the knowledge base was a very serious area.

The things posted above are relatively serious, and the relevant content is discussed very seriously.

However, after the birth of the Drogo Group's God's Skeleton Network, the style of the discussion forum began to become strange.

Just like in the exclusive discussion area where Bruce just posted something.

"sofa!"

"+3"

Bruce was no longer surprised by these things. He used to think that these people were weird, but later he found out that they were things from the Internet forums.

I know the reason, but I still don’t understand it.

For an elderly person, it is really incomprehensible. There is no such thing as experience points in the Soul Ascender's knowledge base. What is the purpose of issuing +3?
"Bruce Sage has released something new. I haven't read it yet. I'll kneel down first."

"If you haven't read it, don't read it. I just read the first page and I can honestly say that I didn't understand the introduction."

"This article does not require any references. Oh, so cool. Bruce Sage is still so charming!"

……

In real life, most soul raisers are just ordinary people who surf the Internet and like to make jokes.

While this group of insignificant soul raisers were happily chatting with each other in the discussion area, the truly important people also noticed this key research.

In an inconspicuous residential building in the sanctuary, another sage saw Bruce's new upload while browsing the knowledge base.

The privilege of a sage is that he can browse the knowledge base at will in any area of ​​the sanctuary, but he still has to go to the Great Library if he wants to upload.

The consciousness flow of soul-ascending people is limited, and the permission to browse at any time is only open to sages, which is also a helpless move.

The sage also knew that every piece of content published by Bruce, the new academic star, caused quite a stir in the Holy Land.

This is one of the rare hot events in recent times.

Most of the soul-ascending people do not care about the war in reality, but prefer to care about things in their consciousness.

Therefore, regardless of whether Bruce's research is related to their own research direction, the soul raisers basically have to pay attention to it, otherwise they will fall behind.

Every circle has its own unique trends.

Sage opened what Bruce had posted.

First a cursory glance.

"Ok?"

He immediately realized that this research was unusual. Although every article Bruce published was unusual, the latest one might be a bit too significant. The sage immediately contacted another sage he was familiar with.

Because what Bruce published is not his research direction, it needs a more professional person to verify it.

"Look at the Great Library, Bruce has released the latest research! Look! Important! Important!"

As the matter was urgent, he didn't say anything polite, and instead sent out several exclamation marks, which made it look noisy.

However, the other party replied immediately, "I'm already watching it."

“What are the chances of being correct?”

The other party fell silent and did not respond directly.

This is normal. A new study, especially an important and complex one, will take a long time to verify.

A few minutes later, the other party replied, "I'm not sure. It's complicated to verify, but as far as the theory is concerned, I tend to think it's correct. Contact the Great Sage! We must use existing resources to complete the verification as soon as possible."

Then he added, "We may be witnessing the success of the great ascension."

……

Bruce sat in the library with an expressionless face, still looking like nothing had anything to do with him.

However, the Great Library was in complete chaos.

More and more soul-ascending people discovered the unusual content of Bruce's article, and almost everyone put down what they were doing to pursue this rare super hot spot.

Bruce listened quietly to the discussion of the people around him and just found it ridiculous.

With their mediocre abilities, they still dream of comprehending the mysteries of the ancient gods' knowledge.

absurd!

Do you know how hard he studied to just master the basics of this knowledge?

When Bruce was reminiscing about the difficult past, he suddenly received a notification.

"Convene an emergency sage meeting immediately. All sages are requested to arrive as soon as possible..."

Bruce smiled slightly as he looked at the pop-up notification. It had indeed arrived, a little faster than he expected.

Soon, all the sages gathered in the conference room.

The Great Sage sat in the center and said straight to the point, "I have urgently summoned everyone here because Sage Bruce has released a new study that concerns our greatest cause and must be verified as soon as possible. Have you all read that study?"

The wise men present all nodded.

"Very good. What do you think is the probability of being correct?"

"Very high. Although it is a brand new method and a brand new angle, the theory is very complete and there doesn't seem to be any obvious problems with the experimental records."

"Oh," Bruce chuckled, "Of course it is absolutely accurate. There is no need to question this knowledge. But in order for you to believe it, just verify it. The sooner the better."

"Are you so sure?"

"Because I have a great mission!"

Bruce was telling the truth, he did have a great mission given to him by Drogo.

However, to other sages, this answer could be said to be very soul-enhancing.

"Yes, we all have a great mission, but if all of this is true, how can we gather enough faith at the same time?"

A wise man asked.

His question was also the question of many of the people present. The Ascending Souls were classified as a cult by the church and were not allowed to preach openly at all.

The only souls who have yet to ascend need to upload their consciousness, and it is very likely that they will not be able to gather enough faith.

"Don't worry," the great sage said, "I will solve this problem when the time comes."

His tone was full of unquestionable confidence.

"Let's start preparing for the verification work. I need to see the results as soon as possible. All resources and computing power have the highest call permissions. The meeting is adjourned."

……

Emperor Roman got down from the Soul Ascender instrument.

He stretched his body, sat on a chair nearby, and held his forehead to think.

Sage Bruce's research is definitely a good thing, and it brings great hope for the final soul ascension.

However, Emperor Roman always felt that things were going a little too smoothly.

It feels like, like, there is someone behind the scenes watching all this and pushing all this.

The soul-ascending person seemed to be shrouded by something, and still thought he was in control of the initiative, but in fact he had already become a tool in the hands of others.

But it’s just a feeling.

It's just a gut-felt uneasiness, with no evidence.

He had already thoroughly investigated Bruce's background, a famous alchemist in the Principality of Orion, and there was nothing wrong with his resume.

The only strange thing is that Bruce is the high priest of Drogo's sect.

Now the emperor no longer thinks of Drogo as some horrible, unknowable being.

Because the Kingdom of Sutton, supported by the Drogo Group, is at war with Loman.

If Drogo was really like he remembered, there would be no reason to continue fighting against Loman's army. He could easily decide whether Loman lived or died.

Therefore, the emperor is more inclined to believe that Drogo has a problem with his brain and has a lot of delusions that deceive his own memory.

Otherwise it doesn’t make sense.

After debating with himself in his mind for a long time, the emperor finally decided that there was no problem and that the feeling of being watched was just a feeling.

Mostly because he has been under too much pressure recently.

It's impossible that Drogo is really the ultimate manipulator. It's impossible, absolutely impossible.

As for the source of his pressure, it was of course the battle situation in Loman.

Ever since other powerful countries in Felin joined the war, especially Sutton, the situation at the beginning of the war where all fronts were going smoothly was completely gone.

To capture every inch of land in each war zone, one has to go through extremely intense battles, and the winning rate cannot be maintained, with many battle lines being pushed back.

Roman cannot afford a war of attrition. The emperor knows very well that they are not the advanced side now.

The war objectives must be achieved within a few years.

If this cannot be done, let alone restoring glory, there is no guarantee that Roman can still be a country.

Thinking of this, the emperor picked up a document he had read this morning.

A document requesting approval for an experiment.

The content of the experiment is about a new method of using demons, synthesizing demons, and creating super soldiers among demons.

It sounds like a beneficial and harmless experiment. If successful, it can greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the army.

However, this experiment has a fatal flaw. The synthetic demon can no longer be remotely controlled. The Roman soldiers who act as the controllers must be synthesized into the demon's body.

What's even more terrifying is that the service life of a soldier is very limited. Every once in a while, the dead old soldiers must be removed and replaced with new ones.

The demon army will not only consume captives from other countries, but also a large number of Romans.

The emperor believed that under the ideological layout of several generations of Roman people, the Roman people, who had been completely caught up in the war frenzy, would join the experiment without hesitation.

But, it is inevitably a bit cruel...

The emperor hesitated for a long time with a painful expression, as if he was having a great ideological struggle.

However, as a result of the struggle, he signed his name on the document. (End of this chapter)
