Chapter 131 National Concept! Dimensional Space Has No Limits

What Duncan wants is not unified thought, because it is impossible to achieve unity in modern times.

It's best to quarrel.

Duncan held the royal power and the army, so he was not afraid of things getting out of hand. Only when a quarrel broke out would people question the church, because the church had no theoretical basis to suppress everything.

To be frank, how many divisions does the Pope have?
If Duncan really got angry, not only would he have reformed polytheism, but even Christianity would have needed to be reformed, and Protestantism would have appeared more than a thousand years earlier. The British Church has always had a tradition of independence. If Duncan wanted to, the saints here could challenge the Church and put a red robe on St. Patrick.

It was impossible for Duncan to suppress the church head-on. It had been spreading for hundreds of years and had already penetrated into folk beliefs, which made the church furious. A bunch of saints were looking for him to fight.

But it doesn’t matter, we can defeat them from within and let them fight among themselves.

“Now it’s just an appetizer!”

Duncan's goal was to cause a great schism in the church.

There is an event in Chinese history called the Three Kingdoms Dividing Jin. Now the Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church (i.e. Greek Orthodoxy) have begun to show signs of a split between the East and the West. Duncan added fuel to the fire, challenging the authority of the church while seeing if he could bring out Protestantism in Britain as well.

The triangle is the most stable shape and is also very powerful when used in combat.

Duncan didn't understand church theology, but that didn't stop him from causing trouble. At least he knew about the Church of England, and the doctrine of justification by faith, etc. If Duncan was really pissed off, he would even dare to bring up liberation theology.

Dimensional space.

On Duncan's projection page, he discovered at some point that an extra mark appeared in all the territories under his rule.

——Southampton (small city).

——Faith: Polytheism has an influence of 62%, while monotheism has an influence of 38%.

——London (medium-sized city).

——Faith: Polytheism has an influence of 55%, while monotheism has an influence of 45%.

This value is constantly changing.

Basically every county is different, some are more polytheistic than others, some are more monotheistic than others, and there is an additional symbol 'Law' next to it.

- Law: Use law to suppress religious conflicts and maintain public order. The more perfect the law, the smaller the impact of religious conflicts.

Polytheism is compatible, and the Avalon faith doesn't conflict significantly with Norse beliefs. Only monotheism is more exclusive, easily leading to religious conflicts and worsening public security. However, as long as the laws are sufficiently sound, even somewhat harsh, and severe punishments are used in times of chaos, private fighting can be suppressed to a certain extent.

I don’t know if the British people have been led astray by King Duncan. Many of them are pan-believers, and they will believe whoever gives them benefits.

To use a poem by a British poet.

When I was ravaged by the Saxons, the Lord did not come to save me; when I became a lowly slave, the Lord did not come to liberate me.

When my brothers and sisters were slaughtered! When my home was reduced to rubble! When my city was engulfed in flames!

I didn't see any angels.

…………

I owe my allegiance to one king only, and he is the Eternal King of Britain.

…………

This Celtic poem is quite long, and Duncan feels that the Avalon faith is unable to compete with the church, so he has to be pulled out to suppress the church's spread. The general meaning is that everything today is a gift from the King of Britain, not the church's credit.

This has instead caused many believers to waver, and on the premise of being loyal to the king, they will believe whoever gives them benefits.

at the same time.

The altar in London has also been put into use. It is the altar where the emperor of the empire gathered his divinity. It has been abandoned for decades. I heard that recently some Londoners have spontaneously held sacrifices to gather a trace of immortal divinity for the great King of Britain - Duncan.

Anyway, Duncan doesn't feel anything at the moment, but if the people want to hold a sacrifice, then let them do it.

Freedom of belief.

If you are willing to believe in me, it is not impossible. I can give it a try. If I can't do it well, I will destroy the altar myself.

Duncan is very free and easy in this regard.

From God's perspective.

"Has the ability of the dimensional space been upgraded again?" Duncan's expression was full of surprise.

He flipped through the pages and actually saw other functions.

- Thought (Freedom of Religion): Limited to polytheism and monotheism, with a 6% approval rate. (Increasing)
- Trend of Thought (Military Expansion): 82% Approval. [British people generally desire to gain benefits from foreign military expansion.]

(After the conversion is complete, it becomes the national idea of the Kingdom of Britain.)
- Military Expansion (National Idea): The nation's war-weariness decreases significantly, conscription efficiency increases by 100%, the standing army increases by 300%, and mobilization orders can be used to launch all-out war. [We are thirsty for war!]

These are the national ideas that are being activated. There are also some concepts that cannot be activated below.

——Maritime hegemony (not yet activated).

——Precision farming (not yet activated).

——Technological development (not yet activated).

If you scroll down, you will find that there are actually quite a few national concepts that can be activated, but they require certain prerequisites. These are things that are worth trying, and they are not far behind the times.

of course.

Duncan continued scrolling and saw some future thoughts that could not be activated at all.

——Renaissance Era (cannot be enabled): The prerequisites are not met.

——Modernization of military reforms (cannot be enabled).

- Colonial Wave (cannot be activated). - The British Empire (cannot be activated).

——Liberty, Equality, Fraternity (cannot be enabled).

and many more.

This is a bit too advanced.

If liberty, equality and fraternity could be established, Duncan wouldn't have to worry about conflicts of faith.

There are some more messy country concepts below, all marked in gray.

——Early Industrialization (cannot be enabled): The prerequisites are not met.

- Inquisition (cannot be enabled): requires Monotheism as the state religion, launching the First Crusade.

——Extreme Theocracy (cannot be activated): requires unified faith and special elements to be activated.

hiss.

Is this forced industrialization? Isn't the technology tree a bit far behind?

Duncan wasn't an engineering genius, and climbing the tech tree wasn't as easy as he'd imagined. He'd gathered a number of top craftsmen, but even crafting a full body of plate armor proved incredibly difficult. Not long ago, he'd wanted to build a telescope to see what the lunar surface looked like, but pure glass was hard to come by in this era, so he could only rely on Merlin's alchemy.

Duncan scrolled down and became more and more shocked. He couldn't help but gasp.

Because there are even more cruel ones below!
So terrifying.

——Magic Enlightenment (cannot be activated): The prerequisites are not met.

(A complete magic system is required, including the analysis of runes, medieval runes, shaman totems, etc., a magic academy system, and supernatural resurrection.)
——Kingdom of God on Earth (cannot be activated): The prerequisites are not met.

(Requires a unified theological theory, universal faith, extreme theocratic integration, the construction of numerous religious wonders, the transformation of faith power, the conceptualization of deities through laws, etc. Neither monotheism nor polytheism can meet these prerequisites. Monotheism requires the mythological wonder [Gate of Heaven], while polytheism requires the mythological wonder [Pantheon].)
(After the Kingdom of God on Earth is opened, priests, shamans and other faith professions will trigger the awakening state.)
(The concept of deities was further legalized, forcibly depriving the gods of their humanity.)
Damn it? !
This is a bit too big. Even in a world with supernatural powers, it can't be this big.

Duncan continued to scroll down and found that there was something more exciting below.

——All Souls Return to One (cannot be activated): The prerequisites are not met.

(It requires a great miracle - the awakening of planetary consciousness, the unification of human faith, the concept of the Great Dao Law, the integration of monotheistic and polytheistic systems, the complete Taiyi Theory of the Universe, the awakening of idealist and materialist thoughts, a technological explosion, the supremacy of humanity, the super-awakening of nature, etc.)
(It requires the awakening of the concept of the great miracle of human history [Human Pan-Consciousness Collective]!)

(It requires the unification of human thought, with Earth as the home planet, to usher in the interstellar era!)

(Take all of humanity as a whole, all souls return to one, humanity will last forever, use both materialism and idealism, our journey is to the stars and the sea!)
The Long River of Human History (Dimensional Concept): From the birth of humanity to its end, the immortals of history have collectively protected the dimensional concept of human civilization, responding to the numerous threats emanating from the vast universe. The gods, spirits, and immortals throughout Earth's history have relied on the long river of human history as the foundation of their existence, until humanity as a species completely disappears from the universe.

I am sorry.

excuse me!
Each one below was more exaggerated than the other, and even Duncan felt his scalp tingling. He was only the king in the Middle Ages, and he never thought of playing it so big.

But at this time, Duncan also had some doubts.

"Where is the limit of dimensional space?"

When he first entered the dimensional space and turned on the God's perspective, the system display of the projection page looked like a Mount & Blade game. Later, when he began to lead the army to fight, a Total War-style strategic command panel appeared on the projection page.

Then Duncan established a territory, and a territory construction panel with statistics appeared. Later, when the faction of gods was involved, the temple religion panel immediately appeared.

Recently, Duncan intervened in the religious dispute, and a page about religious influence was directly added.

Perhaps due to the unification of Britain, Duncan possessed substantial royal authority, and now even the concept of a nation has emerged. He began to lay out his plans, having Merlin research magical runes, then provoking ecclesiastical disputes, recruiting scholars to advance technology, and then even more terrifying things emerged.

Is there no limit to the dimensional space?

It's like a real-time update. As long as Duncan makes corresponding changes in reality, it won't take long for the dimensional space to be updated and iterated, and various new functions will appear.

Duncan only had some intention of interfering with the direction of civilization, but now even early industrialization and magical enlightenment have emerged.

Horror!
Duncan switched the perspective of the projected page and focused his attention on human form number two.

And then, nothing.

I don’t know if it’s because the world where the second human body lives is special, or because its own strength is not enough, but it simply doesn’t have this kind of function. It’s simply like playing a role-playing RPG game.

——Ancient Cat People Tribe (Vassal) (Population 102).

Duncan checked the page of human body No. 2. It was completely incomparable to the territory of human body No. 1. The statistics were simply shocking. It was just a real-time update of population data, nothing else.

A few days ago, the hunters of the Catman tribe encountered an accident while hunting direwolves. The population was originally 103, and one hunter died yesterday.

That's all.

Duncan searched carefully and finally found an extra mark on the map.

——Dragon's Nest (small dragon's nest) (extremely simple) (no guards).

This is the dragon's nest recently dug out by the young dragon. It is about five meters in diameter and is somewhat marked on the cliff in the clouds.

"Is it true that the stronger the human form, the greater its influence on the world?"

“The more functions the projected page displays?”

Duncan found that he still had a lot to think about.

But that's it.

His consciousness suddenly felt a call from the unknown, and then he returned to human body No. 1. Duncan looked at the thin mist rising in front of him, and the shadow of the guardian fairy Thetis was looming.
