Banner of the Evil God

"You are so ruthless! Do you want to be enemies with all the gods?" Wei Ye hurried over. When he saw Sui Xiong, he didn't even have time to breathe, and he shouted angrily, "You are really tired of living. Want to die?"

"It's not as serious as you said." Old God Sui Xiong was here, not nervous at all, "Why do you think I want to make the whole world my enemy?"

"What you are doing now denies royal power and aristocratic rule. But royal power and divine power have always been one. Denying royal power is equivalent to denying divine power!"

Sui Xiong smiled: "Brother, you are much older than me in terms of age, but in terms of experience, you are really not as good as me. How do you think royal power and divine power are integrated? Who relies on whom?"

Wei Ye was stunned and thought for a while, then his originally nervous and anxious expression gradually relaxed.

"It seems that you also understand that in this world, what truly controls society is divine power. Royal power is nothing more than relying on the big tree of divine power, and is just a small supplement to divine power." Creek had already thought about these issues back then. , Sui Xiong thought about it carefully, and he opened his mouth at this moment without even thinking, "The reason why the divine power needs to be replenished is because the number of priests is limited - no matter which god, there are not enough priests under his command. . Moreover, the main occupations of the clergy are cultivation, prayer and preaching, and they cannot spare much time and energy to deal with government affairs, so another national system is needed to handle these political tasks. "

"Royal power and aristocratic rule, to put it bluntly, they only have this little value."

Weyer nodded slightly and said thoughtfully: "So you directly abolished the royal power and abolished the aristocratic rule, but as long as the foundation of theocratic control of the country is not changed, there is no essential change in the situation for the gods. "

"Yes! Although for the people, life will be much easier without a layer of exploitation and oppression. But for the gods, it is still the same country and the same people." Sui Xiong said, "Not only that, Because there is no barrier between the king and the people, the contact between the people and the divine authority will be closer, and perhaps the divine authority will be strengthened. "

Wei Ye thought for a long time, then frowned and asked: "There are many theocratic countries in the world, and theocratic power and royal power are integrated. How to explain this situation?"

"Which country are you talking about? Specific examples require detailed analysis."

"For example, let's take the Kingdom of Holy Angels. Although that country has perished, it still existed for almost three thousand years."

Sui Xiong smiled and said: "Although the Holy Angel Kingdom's royal power and theocratic power are integrated, it is essentially a backward bloodline country - in fact, most of the relatively stable theocratic countries are bloodline countries. The rule of these countries The warriors have the bloodline from the gods they believe in. Although this bloodline may not bring any special power, it is easy to identify, which makes them natural nobles, thus forming a ruling system. In this environment, more devout faith means higher purity and sanctity of the bloodline, so the divine power is consolidated... In fact, this kind of political system is very poor and not stable at all. Look at the Kingdom of Holy Angels and the Sun God. After being bombarded, he fell down in a blink of an eye without even a decent resistance. "

"In a theocratic country, if the god falls, the country will naturally weaken. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Sui Xiong shook his head: "Let me give you an example, the Eagle Kingdom. This country inherits the blood of the Eagle God, but it has separated the divine power from the royal power from the beginning, and the priests do not hold secular positions in order to maintain their faith. The purity of the Eagle God. Later, although the strength of the country was greatly affected, it did not cause the country to perish. On the contrary, in the year when the Eagle God fell, the orc emperor at that time felt that the Eagle Kingdom had encountered In the face of a great crisis, I wanted to take advantage of the situation and launch a large-scale invasion. However, I was ambushed by the Eagle Kingdom and suffered a huge defeat. Six legendary strong men died in the battle, and even the Orc Emperor himself died on the battlefield. "

"Of these two examples, one is negative and the other is positive. It is clear at a glance which one is better."

Weiye nodded while listening. Now he felt that he had worried too much before and was really making a fuss.

But after thinking for a while, he became worried again and asked: "In any case, the divine power and royal power in many countries are currently very closely integrated. If you are so blatantly opposed to royal power, those kings and nobles will definitely take advantage of you." Let’s use their influence to deal with you. If they unite, it will be difficult for each temple to refuse their request!”

Sui Xiong smiled, but this time it was not a gentle smile, but a cold and sinister smile.

"If they are not afraid of death, they can give it a try." He said coldly, "Brother, don't forget, I am the only god in the world currently walking in the flesh. If you really anger me, I will die overnight. You can kill all the royal families and nobles in the world, not just one of them, but the whole family!"

Weiye shuddered and looked at Sui Xiong with wide eyes.

"You...you can't be serious, can you?"

"Do I look like I'm joking?" Sui Xiong asked.

"That's too exaggerated!"

"Is there any exaggeration?" Sui Xiong said with a sneer, "It is better for a family to cry than for a country to cry. Besides, I always pay attention to credibility in my work. If I say I will kill his whole family, I will kill his whole family. I will make sure that their whole family will die cleanly and let him continue." No one mourned."

Wei Ye couldn't help but swallowed, and decided to notify all the gods who had some friendship with him later, telling them not to listen to the instigation and cause trouble for Sui Xiong.

This jellyfish friend... seems to have some mental problems.

The most terrifying thing is that he is a super strong man who has the ability to turn terrorist threats into reality!

Just kill the whole family if he says so. He can really do such a thing!

"The basis of rule is violence. Facing more powerful violence, or violence that is not strong enough but cannot be restrained, any rule is pale and weak." Sui Xiong no longer sneered, but explained to him seriously , "In the current main plane, I am the most powerful force. Even if the gods jointly descend and incarnate, they can only run me away, but as soon as they leave, I can kill them back immediately. So in In this case, I am not afraid of those kings and nobles playing violence with me - I don't have to deal with them with violence, so they should be thankful."

Wei Ye nodded repeatedly, and then he felt that the jellyfish friend's mind was still normal and he was not crazy.

But...it is still necessary to remind your other friends not to provoke Oscar.

He thought for a while and then asked: "These things are fine, but how are you going to resolve the conflicts with the two gods, 'King Power' and 'Nobles'? Once you get this document, you will stand with them." From the standpoint of life and death enemies, there is no room for compromise!”

"Resolve? Why should I resolve it with them?" Sui Xiong laughed, "The God of Royal Power has no sense of existence. The God of Nobles... I have conflicts with Him. If I have the opportunity to kill Him, I will never mind stabbing Him. If I were unlucky, He would definitely hit me with a stone. Now it's just to make the conflict between us clear, what does it matter?"

"What if He comes against you?"

"Then come! I won't be afraid of Him in a battle with gods!" Sui Xiong said confidently, "As for the battle at the mortal level... Haha! Let Him find a way to send the large army to the Ashes Forest first!"

When Weiye thought about it, he couldn't help but laugh.

When it came to a battle between gods, he believed that his jellyfish friend would definitely not be afraid of fighting to the death with the God of Nobles - if there was a real fight, he would even dare to make a bet. If the God of Nobles won, he would pay ten to one; if Mask of the Void won, he would pay ten to one. And the battles in the world... Just like my friend Jellyfish said, the future Northwest Republic will not border any area where the Noble God has a strong influence. The Noble God wants to cause trouble for the Void Mask Church through war at the mortal level. Not possible.

"The northwest is very remote." Sui Xiong said, "This place is quite far away from the 'civilized world' in the general sense. As long as I don't take the initiative, in a few years or decades, everyone will get used to the existence of the Republic. In the end, this Are there not enough strange countries in the world? Are there not enough strange gods? For the vast majority of nobles, as long as they are not near them and do not attack them, it doesn’t matter what others say or do. What's up?"

Weiye nodded repeatedly, finally letting go of his worries.

"I originally thought you were hot-headed and seeking death, but now it seems that you are still very calm. As you said, as long as you don't expand blindly and develop patiently and slowly, in a few years or decades, everyone will naturally acquiesce. The existence of the Northwest Republic." At this point, he couldn't help laughing, "Maybe by then, many gods will change their views and support the system you designed!"

"Thank you for your good words." Sui Xiong also smiled, "To be honest, I don't have much hope. But thinking about it carefully, it seems that there may be such a day. Maybe in the not too long future, a country like the Republic The system will become the mainstream of human countries. At that time, all countries will implement the system of separating bureaucracy and titles on the premise of respecting the divine authority. By then, those who engage in royal power and aristocratic rule will no longer be able to entrust territories. , but will become an outlier that people will be wary of and warned about.”

"I think there will be a day."

"Yes, there will be such a day." Sui Xiong said confidently, "Maybe it will take a hundred years, maybe it will take a thousand years, but to us, what does time mean?"

"As long as the direction is right, I don't care how long it takes!"

To make up for the chapter from last night...
