Nightmare Corrosion

The more ignorant and backward one is, the more devout one’s faith becomes.

This sentence is correct. Civilization is the enemy of faith. If everyone is like a dragon, then who will worship and obey the dragon?

However, any phenomenon only applies within a certain range, such as now.

Lu En saw this, but did not see another point. For these snake people who were still in the primitive period, it was much more difficult to obtain their faith than imagined.

On the one hand, it is because the social structure is too primitive, and almost all of these snake people are destined to be pragmatists. In other words, they are very realistic.

What they believe in is only the existence that will bring them benefits or disasters, and they have a certain demeanor of not letting go of rabbits or hawks. They expect that a statue of a god can generate faith. Even if they are deterred by powerful power, among these snake people, there may not even be "gods". "The concept has not yet taken shape.

Civilization is the enemy of faith, but faith is also a necessary stage of civilization.

To put it more simply, it's like playing a game. The front-end technology of these snake people has not yet been fully activated.

It is very clear when you think about early beliefs, because no matter what kind of civilization, it must have started from the primitive worship of nature, and it was not directed at a certain person, but natural phenomena such as flames, earthquakes, tsunamis, and storms.

Only after society gradually develops and civilization defeats barbarism, will all kinds of true beliefs appear. At this time, beliefs such as life and death, war, wealth, and even love will become mainstream.

On the other hand, it is the influence of extraordinary factors. Faced with powerful forces, these snake people will only be overwhelmed and fearful, but they want to worship wholeheartedly and devoutly, but they are still a bit lacking.

After all, these snake people also have their own path to extraordinary advancement. People may worship the richest man in the world, but they will never worship a college graduate, because the former has basically zero concept, while the latter is something that most people can do. Arrived.

Therefore, in order to gain the faith of these snake people, Luen needs to show some incredible abilities that they think are impossible.

In a sense, this is said to be a "miracle".

Of course, whether it is a miracle or not is closely related to the level of social development.

In the feudal era, if you built airplanes to fly people into the sky, everyone would worship you and build temples and monuments. But in modern society, if you do this, you will only get a lot of thumbs up.

However, in any era and any civilization, they all have the most basic commonality, which is the desire for life and the fear of death.

Most religions like to show their "miracles" on this, and Lu En now understands why.

Not long ago, he had just created a drama of resurrection from the dead and created the death knight of the church. However, the matter had not yet fermented and only spread within a small area.

And now, he plans to do the same thing.

Of course, he didn't wait until the snake man died before taking action. Not to mention that he didn't want to cross the nodes back and forth for this. The thread of faith of this snake man seemed to be gradually fading.

I'm afraid the thread of faith has been broken before he dies.

So for the time being, through the thread of faith, Lu En transmitted some power, which immediately lifted the spirit of this snake man!

"hiss!"

The weak snake man raised his head and felt a warm current flowing through his body. The original pain and fatigue suddenly eased a lot, and he couldn't help but let out a slight hiss.

It's just that the companions around him didn't pay much attention to him.

These snake men defeated the statues they had snatched back just like they had done to the lava snake men before. After piling up food, they waited for a long time without a response and then dispersed to do their own thing.

Maybe they thought that the metal statue would come to life and swallow all the food in its mouth.

Lu En watched all this with the help of the snake man's eyes, but felt a little speechless in his heart.

Judging from the information obtained from the snake man's memory, Lu En's performance at that time was effective. In less than a month, due to the surge in survival pressure, his idol has changed hands among several tribes several times. times, but the methods of worship are similar.

Rather than saying it is a belief, it is better to say that in the eyes of these snake people, this is a kind of transaction.

If the snake-man hadn't been dying, lying here waiting for death, looking for life-saving straws, perhaps both the snake-man and Luen would have forgotten each other soon.

"It seems that what I need first is a priest, or a priest, a shaman or something like that."

Lu En thought secretly, and the weak snake man, under his psychological suggestion, set his sights on the statue. Then an excited and kind emotion emerged in his heart, and he couldn't help but swim towards the statue.

As he approached, a faint red light suddenly appeared on the entire statue, which immediately attracted the attention of the snake people around him.

This is not controlled by Lu En. In fact, apart from relying on the thread of faith to influence this snake man, Lu En cannot control any power left in the inner world.

This is his spirit separated in the statue. It feels the approach of the devout believers and naturally emits visions. It is also what Lu En set up before.

You can't choose to be low-key about this kind of thing, and when it comes to the spread of faith, there has never been such a thing as low-key.

Just like an allusion that Lu En heard in Blue Star in his previous life, someone asked that since the Buddha has reached the supreme state and sees everything in the world as clouds and smoke, why are all his statues in the temple made of gold?

The answer is that this golden body is not for the Buddha to see, but for the world to see.

As the snake man approached, the light became more intense, and then the snake men around him were surprised to see that a beam of light shot out from the eyes of the statue and fell into the eyes of the snake man!

Bang!

The next moment, the snake man fell down directly. Lu En left not much information, but it took some time for the snake man to digest and understand, and he fainted immediately.

Lu En also took the opportunity to stimulate the passed blood energy and quickly converted it into vitality. The snake man's injured tail suddenly seemed to go back in time and quickly began to heal. In just the blink of an eye, even the scales grew back, breathing and breath. stabilize.

"hiss!"

This is an incomprehensible scene for most snake people, and it immediately caused a hiss. Of course, this is not because of the terrifying self-healing speed. There are so many such creatures in the inner world, but because they cannot understand what they should be. Why did the dead tribesmen suddenly heal?

Coupled with the light emanating from the statue, these snake people all showed a sense of awe and fear for the unknown power.

"It's done. As expected, everything is difficult at the beginning."

Lu En felt the stable thread of faith, and a hint of joy emerged in his heart. The pursuit of life and the resistance to death are the cornerstones of most beliefs. Coupled with Lu En's summary of the techniques for utilizing the power of elements, not only I'm worried these snake people won't take the bait.

In addition to not letting go of rabbits or letting go of hawks, realistic beliefs also have another characteristic, that is, if you have breasts, you are a mother!

The emergence of faith has never been a big problem, but the consolidation is.
