Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 532 Primal Gods
The plague was cured, which was certainly a cause for celebration, but Perfecto chose to continue to blockade the settlement with caution and did not unblock them immediately.

After all, this plague is not just a simple epidemic, it also involves an evil cult, so it must be treated with caution.

However, in order to avoid exacerbating the conflict, Perfect still showed up in person and explained the relevant reasons to the residents of the settlement, saying that they could temporarily leave the underground shelter, but still could not leave the settlement.

The residents of the settlement did not have much objection to this. After all, they did not often leave the settlement.

The life trajectories of people in this era were relatively simple, and they did not have such a large range of activities. As long as food supply was guaranteed, their daily activities were limited to settlements and surrounding areas.

Now it is just a restriction on activities to surrounding areas. Although it is slightly unchanged for the residents of the settlements, considering that the plague did break out before, such a blockade is understandable in order to avoid the possible spread of residual plague.

After handing over the subsequent matters here to Griffith and Fulvio, Perfect returned to Czernoberg with Princess Anne.

After all, Princess Anne is the heir to the throne of the empire. Although she has not been declared the crown prince, as the current first-in-line heir, her identity and status are unshakable, and naturally she needs to shoulder the corresponding responsibilities.

Previously, in order to stabilize the people's hearts in the areas where the plague broke out, she had expressed her concern and went to the front line in person as a means to win the hearts of the people and show her closeness to the people. Now that things have been properly handled, the eldest princess naturally has no reason to stay.

There are many things waiting for the eldest princess to deal with in Chenobog, not to mention the part about Beloberg.

Along with Perfectoc's decision to build a new district in Beloberg, various related matters have been launched one after another. There is an urgent need for someone who can take charge of all matters and has sufficient authority to make decisions.

In the past, when these cities were built, Perfectcot was in charge of everything himself. Now that there is a more suitable person, Princess Anne, Perfectcot will naturally not let her sit idle.

After all, no matter what, Princess Anne will take over the empire in the future, and she needs more experience to hone her ability to handle government affairs.

How can one better understand the intricacies of government affairs and the difficulties of people's lives than to be in charge of the construction of a city?
Especially since this time it also involves the placement of all departments at the core of the empire, it will be more convenient for Princess Anne to understand the situation of various departments of the empire and how they operate.

This is an excellent opportunity for the future rulers of the empire to understand and become familiar with the empire they are about to rule.

As for Perfecto herself? She could do these things, of course, but she had no interest in doing so.

Compared to conspiracies, intrigues, and even launching a palace coup to seize the highest power in the empire, perhaps the totem pole in the laboratory that she had always ignored could interest her more.

Perfect found that he had always ignored the existence of totem poles and ancestral spirits. Although he did conduct some research at the beginning, those studies were relatively superficial and did not touch the essence of the ancestral spirits.

Or to put it another way, Perfecto's previous research focused more on totem poles, while ignoring the fact that the spirits of ancestors are the more critical essence.

Because in a sense, the spirits of ancestors can actually be regarded as primitive gods.

At first, Perfect didn't react, or she didn't connect the ancestral spirits with the gods, but just thought it was a culture of the local indigenous tribes and a product of primitive alchemy. After all, in the process of studying the local indigenous tribes in the north, Perfect did find that they mastered some relatively shallow and primitive alchemy techniques, but there were some unique features in them.

Among them, the ancestral spirits and the so-called blessings of the ancestral spirits are indeed very unique, but because the strength of the ancestral spirits is just so-so, Perfectoct did not take them seriously.

However, after she consulted the large amount of information collected by the church, she suddenly discovered that the spirits of the ancestors were actually the original forms of gods.

One point is clearly pointed out in the large amount of information collected by the church, that is, gods are not born, and there has never been a being born as a god.

Even if two gods produce offspring, they are still not gods in essence, but special creatures with divinity.

The spirits of ancestors can be regarded as special creatures with divinity. As long as they continue to accept the faith and worship of believers and accumulate enough faith, they can transform into gods.

To put it simply, in the primitive stage of human beings, they also worshipped divine creatures similar to the spirits of their ancestors like the indigenous peoples of the North, and these divine creatures became the Old Gods after gaining enough faith.

Because of the brutal rule of the Old Gods, humans gradually turned away from their faith in them, and the Old Gods withdrew from the stage of history for various reasons, leaving only sects that believed in the Old Gods to constantly make trouble, trying to revive the era when gods ruled humans.

In other words, an ancestor spirit is an unhatched egg of a god. It only needs to be watered with enough faith to hatch into a new god.

Without external interference, the indigenous people of the North might eventually accumulate enough power of faith after thousands of years of development to allow the spirits of their ancestors to hatch into gods, thus establishing a strong civilization.

But because of the interference of the empire, this process has now been interrupted, the development of local indigenous peoples has been affected and interfered with, and they can no longer provide sufficient faith for the spirits of their ancestors.

Of course, this cannot provide enough faith, referring to the faith that allows the spirits of ancestors to transform into gods.

If it is just about maintaining the continued existence of the ancestral spirits, there should be no problem considering the current indigenous population in the North.

This in turn provided Perfecto with a perfect sample for studying the gods.

What is better to study gods than a real god? The answer is a god who has not yet become a god.

It already possesses some of the essence of a god, but it is not yet a god, nor is it that powerful, so it is naturally more suitable for research.

As long as he can get the information he needs from it, Perfect will have more confidence in dealing with the future return of the gods, and it will be more likely that he will surpass the so-called gods in the future and resolve this doomsday winter.
