National God: Am I regarded as an NPC by the natives?

Chapter 56 Conversation in the Temple of Light
"I wonder if Bishop Manock knows what happened in the Endless Mountains some time ago?" Mino asked.

"I have heard some about this, but the Endless Mountains are full of dangers. The people I sent to investigate have not returned yet, so I can only hear some folk rumors." Manock said.

"It is said that an evil god appeared in the Endless Mountains some time ago, eager to hunt all intelligent creatures in the world."

"However, the evil god seemed to have a conflict with a god some time ago. I don't know the specific situation."

Hearing this, Mino smiled.

"What happened in the Endless Mountains a few days ago was actually caused by a battle between my Lord and an evil god called the God of Hunting."

"The God of Hunting, as the name suggests, desires to hunt everything in the world."

"Some time ago, several tribes had people who were hunted by their followers who were bewitched by the God of Hunting. After the news was learned by my Lord, He asked us to go to fight against the evil god."

"I also participated in that battle. The evil god is indeed extremely evil and terrifying."

"When we first arrived at Snake Scale Mountain, the evil god used a trick to plunge the entire mountain range into darkness, and we were surrounded by the evil god's followers with countless venomous snakes and pythons."

"Fortunately, at the critical moment, our Lord sent down the power of holy light and condensed a sacred sun in the sky to dispel the darkness, so that we would not be killed."

"But later on, the evil god created a world shrouded in blood. In that world, we only felt full of bloodthirsty, and we actually started to fight each other."

"Fortunately, my lord is here, and my lord took action to kill the evil god, and we returned to normal."

When talking about this, Mino showed a pious look.

Manok's expression kept changing as he listened to Mino's words.

As a believer in the God of Light, he understood very well how serious the fear that his mind was filled with bloodthirsty brought to believers.

Fortunately, when he finally heard Mino say that the evil god had been killed, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"It is indeed a very evil evil god who can actually force all living beings to kill each other." Manok said with emotion.

"According to the oracle of my god, in addition to evil gods such as the God of Hunting, evil gods with more evil powers have also been born in the world," Mino continued.

"A god of the undead who brings death and disaster to the world, and a god of darkness who represents darkness and filth."

"My Lord is worried that all sentient beings will not be protected, so he asked us to leave the Endless Mountains and make the most preliminary contact with the Light God Religion in advance."

Manok was speechless, he was shocked by the news.

He is not worried about the purpose of the God of Holy Light. In his inherent impression, gods are not something that mortals can resist.

If he thought mortals could fight against gods, he would not believe in the God of Light.

Now that the God of Light has fallen, the emergence of evil gods is naturally extremely dangerous for their godless church.

The appearance of the God of Holy Light is indeed an opportunity, salvation and hope for them.

But he also understood the condition of salvation: conversion.

Even the God of Light will not protect those human kingdoms that do not believe in the God of Light.

The canons of divine religions never describe the benefits that gods bestow upon mortals, so only mortals will believe in gods.

It is written in the canon that only if mortals believe in gods will gods protect mortals.

Even the church closest to the Church of Light, the Elf Kingdom that believes in nature, will not be protected by the God of Light.

Although the God of Holy Light is closer to the light, he will not protect the believers of the God of Light for no reason.

If the God of Light is still alive, the God of Holy Light and the God of Light may be able to cooperate, but now the God of Light has fallen.

Of course, all this is just Manock's conjecture.

When the same pantheon competes, it is no weaker than an enemy pantheon. "Well, let me think about it, I can't actually make the decision on matters between churches. I will convey this news to His Majesty the Pope, and he will make the decision at that time."

Manok couldn't help but sigh as he speculated on all kinds of news.

"Of course, I'm just here for a visit. The reason why I mentioned this matter was just on a whim." Mino said.

"What I mainly want to say is that if the Light God Religion hears news about the sudden appearance of an evil god somewhere, please let us know."

"The evil gods are not only the god of darkness and the god of the dead, but also the evil gods who represent war and plague."

"I can do this. I will report these matters and let more temples pay attention to this news." Manok did not refuse this time.

"In that case, I will leave first."

Mino achieved his goal and said nothing more.

"Walk slowly."

Manok watched Mino and others disappear with a sad look on his face.

Although Minuo didn't say it clearly, Manok knew that the world of Canglan would change next.

All the old gods are dead and new gods are coming, and they need more people to believe in them.

However, most of the creatures in this world, whether pious or not, already have their own beliefs.

In this case, these dead gods who are still believed in will undoubtedly be targeted by the new gods.

People don't understand why gods need faith.

It's because the gods are performing their duties, but the world doesn't worship them, which makes them angry.

But no matter what, the structure of the Canglan world is about to change.

If the old forces insist on having their own way, they may die along with the gods.

"I have to make plans early. The God of Light has fallen. It is not an unacceptable choice to convert to the God of Holy Light, who is also a member of the God of Light."

"This is better than believing in evil gods." Manok sighed in his heart.

For a believer, except for the same attributes as gods, all other attributes can basically be regarded as evil gods.

Even other attributes that are closer to light are still considered heresy to the Light Cult.

Thinking about the matter, he quickly asked people to pass today's news to the main hall of the Guangming Sect.

If the Pope understands the righteousness well, it would be best to directly convert to the God of Holy Light. If he doesn't believe it, then he will have to find another way out.

Although Manock has become a bishop, his faith in the God of Light is honestly not as deep as he imagined.

After all, a dead god can no longer make people maintain pious faith in him.

If you believe in a living god, you can gain protection and have the opportunity to receive an oracle and gain the attention of the god.

If you believe in a dead god, it is just spiritual sustenance.

Although the world still maintains faith in the God of Light because of the Holy See of Light, it can no longer be the same as before.

Except for those fanatical believers who will still maintain their extremely devout beliefs, others will more or less decline over time.

Soon, Manok finished writing a letter and sent it to the main hall.
