God of Undead

Chapter 1236 Controversy over the spread of theocracy

Obviously, the claims of a group of big cabinet figures have touched the bottom line, and that bottom line is the belief of the two supreme temples.

For a long time, the two supreme temples have regarded themselves as leaders of supreme law and faith, rather than rulers in a pure sense.

Therefore, the Supreme Temple is not greedy for power, but highly respects the reproduction and spread of all subordinate laws under the two supreme laws. Unless it is a major issue related to the safety and prosperity of the mainland, the two supreme temples rarely give orders to any ethnic group.

In the hearts of the goddesses of all ages, the theocracy derived from the control of faith also serves the common beliefs and laws, rather than for anyone's personal interests.

Therefore, the sixteen temples have always been very independent. Except for a few holders and owners of theocracy, there is no such thing as nobility or royal family.

The purpose of the sixteen goddesses for a long time is not to require or allow such a special force to appear under their command, overriding the endless people of the mainland.

The temple does not interfere with the internal autonomy of the major ethnic groups, so it does not ask about their system. Whether there are royal families or nobles does not represent the position of the temple, but the purpose of the temple itself will not be affected.

The so-called "theory of direct lineage" is actually the self-improvement of those people, and the Supreme Temple and the Secondary Temple never admit it.

Each of their theocracy holders only represent themselves and their exclusive theocracy, and do not involve others, including relatives and friends.

To put it bluntly, even the god emperor's childhood friends, relatives, and even her parents would not wait for the corresponding respected status after the god emperor succeeded to the throne.

The God Emperor will treat those people kindly, but he will not give them any special gifts because of this, and it is even more impossible to give them reuse because of their status. Even the brothers and sisters of the God Emperor must have corresponding abilities or functions if they want to be in the top position. Credit, otherwise it would never appear in any important position.

The same is true for secondary goddesses and goddesses. From the day they came to power, the meaning of their existence is closely related to faith, theocracy, and laws.

Even the people around these theocratic rights holders can't "go to heaven alone", let alone people who are even more distant from them?
Therefore, based on this belief, any theocratic owner will never set out to build his own ethnic group, let alone allow his relatives and friends to rely on his own authority to establish the ideology of the royal family and nobles. will be recognized.

In the final analysis, this is still related to the tradition of the goddess. Theocratic power has always been highly concentrated, and that kind of authority will not easily spread to the hands of any group.

As for why "direct lineage forces and ethnic groups" appeared, this is actually a rather complicated problem with deep roots.

Although Goddesses and Goddesses have always guarded against inevitability and prevented the theocracy in their hands from spreading to irrelevant people, their influence will still exist to some extent.

For example, the ethnic group or power that the god emperor was born must be highly respected. Even if the god emperor does not give that ethnic group the slightest favor or does nothing, all parties will subconsciously give that group a high status.

This kind of people's inherent thinking does not take anyone's will as the core. After all, it is still unpredictable. Even if the god emperor stops it, it will not have much effect.

What's more, the groups that are generally born with god emperors, goddesses, and goddesses are also very powerful. Many of them already have a very high status. Coupled with that kind of invisible help, they will naturally become more prominent after a long time.

Therefore, the so-called "direct descendants of the temple" were born in an irreconcilable contradiction. They have never been recognized, but they really exist, and they have been trying to be recognized.

And based on the fact that these groups have made great contributions to the mainland for a long time, even if the god emperors of the past dynasties, it is impossible to suppress them easily even if they do not admit it, and many huge groups cannot be suppressed unless they make a big mistake.

It was this series of complicated problems that led to the conflict within the two kingdoms of God that never seemed to find a way out for a long time.

It's just that in the past, the superior and the intended superior tolerated each other, and they would not easily embarrass each other and make the conflict public.

As for the current acute issue of "diffusion of theocracy", after Shen Chen won that kind of honor, it caused the psychological imbalance of many direct lineage giants, and was finally challenged in public at the Supreme Temple.

Moreover, this timing is quite subtle, the presence of the two god emperors and eleven sub-goddesses is like the most direct collision of contradictions.

Delevinson, Alvin and the others also knew that breaking up such a contradiction in public would make the two god emperors and the secondary goddess quite dissatisfied.

But the matter has come to this point, they can't care so much anymore, and they are also dissatisfied with the previous decision of the God Emperor, to be honest.

These major direct-line groups and families have served the Supreme Temple all the time, but they have not received real respect and honor for this. Now, an outsider has climbed on top of them, how can they be reconciled?

The entire hall was silent. Although the incident happened suddenly, the two god emperors were very human after all, and it was impossible to be easily frightened by the momentum of these big men.

God Emperor Hera responded flatly: "The royal family and aristocratic system cannot be established under the command of the temple. This is the bottom line. It will not change before, now, or in the future!"

Obviously, the position of being listed as a goddess is also quite firm, and as the real masters, they can forcibly veto everything if necessary out of their active position.

What they worry about is nothing more than the internal stability of the mainland's high-level officials. After all, these powerful direct lineages have long been deeply rooted, and their prominent positions lie there.

The influence and military background they have also accounted for a considerable proportion of the mainland, and they have indeed made outstanding achievements. Therefore, in general, even if they know that these guys are wicked, they, the goddesses, will not be too embarrassing.

However, there is a bottom line for any scruples. Above the bottom line, those people can let go of their troubles, but if they touch the bottom line, they must be clearly and severely stopped.

The eleven sub-goddesses present did not speak, but their attitudes were the same. The non-proliferation of theocracy is actually a natural blessing for the endless people of the mainland.

If theocratic power spreads, and the huge nobles and royal families also have innate superiority and respect, then the countless races on the mainland will be equivalent to a mountain, and every move in daily life will be contained. In the competition for the environment, it will also be in a serious disadvantageous situation.

This point can be seen from other kingdoms of God, those who are really in power in the kingdom of God will always be subordinate to the blood of the royal family and the Supreme Temple.

And those people also occupied most of the resources of the kingdom of God, and then the joint relationship between the royal family and the nobles further grew at all levels. Ordinary people and small ethnic groups can only be exploited, and they cannot fight against it. A kind of grief for all beings, a belief in life and nature, does not allow that to happen.

On the other hand, in the Green Plains Continent, the reason why the belief here is so strong, to some extent, has a lot to do with the supreme leader's respect for all living beings.

There are only sixteen temples on the first continent of the God Realm, so there are very few large-scale internal wars. In addition, the tax is extremely low, and there is only one floor of the secondary temple. The tax revenue of the supreme temple comes from the major secondary temples. Divided and turned over.

Under a layer of extremely low taxation, ordinary people will not suffer from layers of exploitation in a relatively large environment, and the living environment is naturally incomparable.

Therefore, it is not the monopoly of the goddesses of the past dynasties. Its root is the survival appeal of countless millions of creatures in the mainland. Many things are by no means as simple as arguing about black and white, and there are extremely huge and complicated entanglements behind it...

Regarding the attitude of the goddess of nature, most of the leaders of the giant clans present have always firmly supported them. They have a royal family and aristocratic system within them, but because they do not hold theocracy, the negative damage of that system is relatively small. affect other species.

And if the temple establishes a noble and royal system, it will be unfavorable to them in the long run. In the future, their survival will not only depend on the awe of the temple, but also depends on the faces of those big nobles and royal families.

And some supporters, or people with ambiguous attitudes, most of them have close relationships with those large direct lineage groups, and their interests are deeply involved behind the scenes, so the propositions of Zelda Levinson and other giants can be passed.

At the moment, the situation in Tianzun Academy is also divided into three factions. Among supporters, neutrals, and opponents, supporters are still in the majority.

Most of the more than a hundred giants in the Tianzun Academy have their origins, which are actually deeply related to the great powers of the God Emperor's lineage.

Shen Chen has already returned to his seat. Seeing the ups and downs of the incident, he is also heartbroken. It is the most peaceful green original continent, and there are such sharp contradictions inside, which is really embarrassing.

But right now he has just taken the position, and the situation is delicate. On this issue, it is not suitable to take a stand. In his heart, he must support the God Emperor. After all, he is also No. 17 now, and he is considered to be in the same camp.

Seeing that the situation had reached a stalemate, many people thought that those giants of the direct line could only end in defeat in the face of the God Emperor's strong rejection.

But I don't want to, this time Dravenson, Alvin and other important ministers, as well as most of the courtiers of the Kingdom of God, and more than half of the giants of the Tianzun Academy, are determined to fight for a black and white.

"Two god emperors, since the rules can be broken for that young man, why can't it work when we come to our own people? Please forgive me for being bold, this matter is really too much!" Another chief cabinet minister protested solemnly .

The man's name was Malcolm, and he was the Minister of Resources and Wealth of the Kingdom of God, one of the fifteen chief cabinet ministers.

For a long time, the role of their mansions has been severely shackled by the subordinate goddesses. It is difficult for their authority to step into the territory of the goddesses. Therefore, they are in high positions, but their influence is quite limited, and they have always hoped to obtain real corresponding jurisdiction.

On the other side of the leaders of the major giants, there are also some leaders who clearly support the propositions of these giants. Obviously, giants such as Delevinson and Alvin have already attracted many important supporters in the past.

And their energies are not limited to these. The situation in the ruling and opposition parties on the side of the Kingdom of Life is exactly the same, because the essential conflicts between the two sides are the same.

Seeing this posture, even Shen Chen secretly clicked his tongue. These "diffusion of theocracy" advocates are by no means alone. It can even be said that their camp occupies more than half of the top management in the mainland.

If it is not listed as a goddess in charge of laws and beliefs are strong enough, it may be difficult to suppress this momentum for a long time, and the problem is much more acute than imagined.

However, even with such momentum, the two god emperors had already reacted indifferently, and the goddess of life retorted: "Let's reiterate that Shen Chen's current respect is only related to his potential, prestige, and contribution, and you are the same. At any time, this kind of change will not be directly linked to the background, I hope you will not confuse it and take the opportunity to cause trouble!"

God Emperor Hera said bluntly: "Even if we identify ten more such characters in the future, it has nothing to do with that matter. The former is a necessary change, and the latter is a matter of belief and purpose. There is no comparison. Shen Chen Standing in that position now, his actions in the future must also abide by the code of faith within this framework!"

The implication is that even if Shen Chen has the same status as a secondary goddess in the future, he cannot organize the royal and ancient clans headed by himself.

Of course, Shen Chen has nothing to say, he respects the faith of the mainland.

But Shen Chen vaguely felt that this matter would not end so easily. Today's conflict has been planned, and perhaps some terrible hidden dangers have been planted...
