Chapter 168 The Rise of the Light God System

However, after careful analysis, in fact, the rapid rise of Xi Liya's light god system is not due to Xi Liya's blind luck.

From the beginning, Xi Liya has done it herself, taking the Goddess of the Goddess of Light as her identity in the mortal world, and she has already gained a considerable number of believers through countless mission entrustments.

And it has been expanding in the world, providing Xilia with countless potential believers.

Coupled with the extremely presumptuous behavior of the sun gods who are in power in the church, they have long accumulated grievances among ordinary human beings.

The gods above want to build a large number of temples, and the church leaders below also want their own merits, let alone the unnecessary internal friction they caused in their own jurisdictions in order to grab merits.

More importantly, in the process of building a temple every time, how much money was raised and how much wealth went to the pockets of church personnel. This is also a very resentful issue for ordinary people.

You must know that the money spent on building a large number of temples is far from enough from the human government alone.

In order to obtain money for building the temple, the clergy of the church naturally came up with a way to levy a belief tax on ordinary people.

But in order to obtain huge benefits, the church has many taxes in addition to the faith tax.

The increased tax burden will naturally cause public dissatisfaction, but none of these resistances can cause too much waves.

In addition, some smart people in the church used the method of giving both kindness and power, while sucking blood from ordinary people, and at the same time creating some hypocritical benefits for them, such as belief in gods and longevity.

The benefits of hypocrisy are Ye Yu's own definition.

When he first came to this world, he was very interested in the history of this world, so he did a lot of research on the history of the mortal world.

"Actually, this is a marketing effect, but why would someone be fooled by it?"

Thinking of this, Ye Yu couldn't help but sneer.

This is very similar to the scammers he has seen before who buy health products and sell fake products.

Introducing a person with a halo effect, indicating how much benefit he has gained, and at the same time hyping it up, can convince many people that it is true.

Especially things like divine grace.

The church only needs to control the dissemination of some words among ordinary people, such as who in this village has obtained the grace of God and has become a high and extraordinary person, or someone in that place has a mortal disease but because of believing in the great sun god get well
Under the influence of these "personal" deeds, most of the people still firmly believe in the benefits of believing in the Sun God.

But in fact, is Apollo, the god of the sun, really giving benefits to his ordinary believers?

Of course not, as a high god, how could he pay attention to the request of the ants.

After detached from the world, he just used ordinary human beings as a tool for him to gain faith.

And under hundreds of years of deception and lies, no matter how stupid people are, they will find clues.

At first no one noticed this kind of problem, first a small number of people started to wake up, and then a very large number of people started to realize that this kind of thing is a lie.

Through continuous research, people gradually discovered that those heroic teenagers who became superhumans were actually their own talents, and those who were facing terminal illnesses but recovered miraculously also benefited from some doctors who gave silently.

Not by the gods, but by themselves.

More and more people are awakening, but the church has not yet realized the seriousness of the matter, because under the high-pressure policy of the church, no one dares to take the lead in rebelling and dare to speak out this fact.

Don't dare to say, dare not speak, but it doesn't mean you don't know, it doesn't mean you don't dare to be angry.

Moreover, during this period, with the support of Apollo, the powerful god, the church was still suppressing the princes and nobles of the human world countries. The church's staff, such as cardinals, were once more powerful than most nobles. high.

And the Pope, as the leader of the church, is even more powerful.

According to reports, the properties of the No. 13 popes in the Helios system have been calculated by someone. During his 30 years as pope, the accumulated property is comparable to the sum of taxes of nearly all human countries in the world at that time.

It can be said that in the true sense, he has reached a country that is as rich as an enemy.

This person was found by Ye Yu when he was bored reading a middle school history book when he was in the toilet one time, and he threw the book into the toilet after reading it.

However, the pope reminded Ye Yu that there was such a big corrupt official in the history of the ancient civilized country in the world where he was. After his property was confiscated by the emperor, he actually made the whole royal family a lot richer.

The dissatisfaction of the people caused other changes. The God Realm began to notice that the faith was constantly decreasing, and it also had some vague guesses about it.

At the same time, conflicts between the people and the church controlled by the solar god system have accumulated for a long time, and there is only one fuse missing.

"The demon king from more than 100 years ago is the fuse."

After several failed crusades, facing the powerlessness and helplessness of the human government, the people pointed their fingers at the Church of the Sun God, which was still trying to make a fortune at this time.

Even if the final crusade is successful, the people's trust in the church is no longer what it used to be.

Compared with these high gods, they no longer rely on them, they would rather believe in themselves than they will believe in the group of vampires in the church.

God's interface has also done a lot of discussion on this situation. Facing the failed management of the sun god Apollo, even those gods who usually received huge benefits from him could not help.

Under the arrangement of the God Realm, as a latecomer, the Goddess of Light was assigned the status of the God Realm's manager in the human world.

Just during this period, the reputation of the Goddess of Light had already spread among many ordinary humans.

Unlike the mandatory belief in the Sun God, the requirement to believe in the Goddess of Light is very arbitrary.

You don't need to pay anything, and you don't get anything.

This kind of belief is just a pure inner support, a code of behavior restraint that exists purely in the heart.

But it is such a kind of "following fate" belief that has become very easy to accept.

Ye Yu didn't know if Xi Liya had stirred up conflicts between ordinary humans and the Church of the Sun God System in the past few hundred years, but someone definitely did something secretly to fuel the flames.

Otherwise, logically speaking, it is impossible for the church's rebels to increase so much in a short period of time.

"Well, with Xilia's IQ, she definitely can't think of such a thing."

However, it is not ruled out that Xilia's subordinate believers have such a task.

For example, people who are similar to the current pope of the light god, the grandfather of Aliwell - Sullivan III
This old man has been serving as the Pope since the goddess of light Xi Liya came to power.

It can be said that the old pope played an indispensable role in consolidating the status of the church and developing the light god system after the demon king crusade.
