Chapter 667： The long-term plan of the disobedience (1/2)

The study was quiet for a few seconds. Ophelia seemed to be sorting out his thoughts. Gao Wen was digesting the information provided by the other party. After a while, he broke the silence: "You started the rebellious plan, just because of these two sentences. What?"

Not waiting for Ophelia to answer, he added: "I thought of a possibility - is it possible that the knowledge and essence of the gods are too much beyond human perception, beyond the processing power of the human brain, so any close to the gods The behavior itself leads to madness, which has nothing to do with whether the gods themselves are really malicious. Will the death explorers and the semi-mad returners see only the knowledge that leads to human madness, not the **** itself?"

These words seem to be excusing the gods, but Gao Wen knows that Ophelia will understand what he means - he is not a believer in God, nor does he have any innate affection for God, just for rigorous considerations. He must say the possibility of his own thoughts, and Ophelia as an ancient empire researcher, this rigor should also be her professional ethics.

Ophelia's reaction really did not come out as high as expected: "This is a possibility, we also thought about it at the beginning - so we did a series of verifications and more investigations, but the more in-depth study of the gods Knowledge, the more faint of the truth, the more disturbing.

"In the process of excavating the ancient ruins, we found some fragments of the legacy of the civilization that had been lucky enough to survive the magic tide. Their demise was sudden, without warning, and ushered in the most prosperous and stable society. Extinction, which allowed us to rule out almost all possibilities except 'the gods are destroyed.'

“We have touched some ancient races, including the Kraken and the Dragons that you know, and the ancient lords of some elemental worlds – the ancient empire and the elements of the world are closely related, and the powerful creatures of the elemental world are not subject to magic. Influenced by the tide. In the words of those ancient races, we find that the destruction of ancient civilizations usually occurs in the stage of major changes in their belief systems.

"And in some of the rarest archaeological gains, we have also dug up some literary records on the eve of the ancient civilization's demise, occasionally mentioning 'God is not allowed', 'The mortal has crossed the border', 'God has come, and the end is coming Words like 'this seem to be the words left by the few in the ancient civilization who noticed the change of the gods in advance, but those 'prophet' could not save the situation."

Listening to Ophelia's article, Gao Wen nodded slightly.

The rebellious people started the huge plan really not because of impulsiveness - they found the increasingly desperate truths in the process of in-depth investigation, and the dark future made these "deviant" have no choice. I had to secretly open a plan against the gods.

"Perhaps we still can't completely determine the truth of the 'death of the gods', but the magic tide is approaching, the shadow of God is approaching, even if the end is only one percent of the possibility, we must also make 100% preparation - Maybe all our efforts will prove to be a joke in the end, but if it does happen, we must always come up with some means of resistance," Ophelia said in a deep voice, "Living and setting a safe environment." The next person probably can't understand this extreme behavior, but you should understand it as a pioneer."

"Humans are a suspicious and timid creature," Gao Wen sighed. "So we always have to arm ourselves."

"This suspiciousness and timidity ensure the survival of our ethnic group."

Gao Wen adjusted his sitting position and looked at Ophelia's eyes: "You mentioned that you have discovered that the destruction of ancient civilizations usually occurs in the stage of major changes in their belief systems. What does this mean? ?"

“In short, their temples are rapidly diminishing, and the size of all churches is shrinking almost at the same time.”

“Abandoning the faith, so angered God?” Gao Wen frowned, and suddenly he moved. “Then the Reform of the Church of Light is now going on...”

"This is exactly what I want to say," Ophelia said. In her always light, gentle smile, like a masked face, Gao Wen actually saw a rare enthusiasm, that is hair Since the sincere expression, "the reforms we carried out in the Church of the Light did not cause the 'revitalization' of the Holy Light."

Activation - Gao Wen noticed the words used by Ophelia at the moment.

Then he asked: "What you mean is that the content of the Holy Spirit is in the heart of the heart, the morality and justice take precedence over the dogma, and the belief that everyone has freedom of belief does not lead to the Holy Spirit. What bad reaction does the **** of light produce?"

Ophelia smiled: "People are still pursuing the Holy Light. With the core elements of the Holy Light, that is, guarding, exorcism, justice, and light as creeds, our temples have not been reduced, and the size of the church has not shrunk, even though we Replaced a lot of it, but... The Church of the Light is still the Church of the Light, isn't it?"

Gao Wen looked at Ophelia, who was smiling, but his heart suddenly thought of the obvious movements of the Church of the Light in the past few years, and the role of the Virgin Princess, the Virgin Princess, in the church. I didn’t see anything related to it, but at the moment it’s a little bit connected -

The rejection of heretical thoughts of the Church of the Light promoted the rapid development of the church, but it also led to the emergence of a large number of low-quality, poor-educated grassroots priests; the magical reforms reduced the threshold of the use of the Holy Light and expanded the size of the gods, but also Let the priests who are not good and the same can use the same magic, shaking the conviction of a large number of original devout cult Buddhist monks; the power of classical interpretation and morality led to the division of the lower and middle priests in the church, like Wright and Severn. Such a progressive priest is produced in this context...

These seem to be the natural changes that the church has caused after the development to its fullest, and the internal power splits. However... What if these “natural changes” have a pair of eyes that are full of scrutiny from the researchers?

If all this is to test something, such as ... test the "law of operation" of the gods, test the "personality boundary" of the gods?

No wonder Ophelia will actively cooperate with Wright's reforms to support Cecil's new policy - how can a researcher make a decision easily without enough experimental data? !

Ophelia just smiled faintly and looked at Gao Wen: "What are you thinking?"

“These are the “research results” you got in the Church of the Light?”

"If there is no gain, why should a hiccup stay in the enemy church for so long?"

Gao Wen’s gaze turned around and involuntarily fell on the Platinum Scepter in the hands of Ophelia. This Platinum Scepter has been in her hands since the fall of the former Pope, even though Wright’s Dharma She took over the Northern Church and she did not hand over the scepter.

This scepter was originally the possession of the pope. It is said to have the function of communicating with the kingdom of God and listening to the gods. It represents the bridge between God and man. However, due to the reform of the church, all the upper-level priests have been reorganized. The problem of this scepter has been It was thrown into the mind by people intentionally or unintentionally, but at this moment, it was reminiscent of the words that Ophelia had decided that the **** of the light did not "activate", but Gao Wen vaguely guessed one thing.
