Chapter 1444 Fatal Threat
"Religion? Someone put their hand on me?"
Lu Ping'an was a little surprised, even a little confused.
At his point, "religion" has in a sense become a tool, a sphere of influence, and the property of high-level professionals who verify their own "reason" and find their own anchor of faith.
He is making plans, he is dyeing the world with his own colors. But from another perspective, he is also building his own "temple" and kingdom of God on earth.
Only those who have experienced modern society can understand what Lu Ping'an's six months of accumulation means.
He is rebuilding the world's industrial chain, integrating those trivial technologies, light industries, and small handicraft industries into a normally functioning society.
Light industry, equipment manufacturing, heavy industry, power grid, hydropower generation, he is rebuilding a modern society.
If the capital was establishing the country administratively, then here he was rebuilding the country in the true and substantive sense.
But at the same time, he also used mortals to interpret his "philosophy" and upgrade his "trading" methods.
When the various components of society are formed, and when their interactions and operations constitute the system of this country, Lu Ping'an's "transaction" may become the circulation of "social order".
In a sense, Lu Ping'an does not need a traditional church. The mere act of "transaction" is a way to put his ideas into practice.
His "trading place" and the business system derived from it are the places where his "rules" and "principles" are expanded.
The multiple rules and the self-contained "rule group" are the threshold to the eighth level. Lu Ping'an has never stopped, but it seems that his path must be practiced by mortals.
And at this time, it seems that something is trying to intrude into his territory and steal the faith of his people?
"Cat?"
"Yes, I've heard of it. But it seems to be a primitive religion that worships the 'Tree of Light'." Hearing the name, Lu Ping'an felt something was wrong.
“Is there anyone behind the scenes?”
"No, meow. The prototype seems to be that you can gain supernatural powers by praying to the tree and making a wish, meow."
"This does not mean that the faith behind the scenes should be directed at me."
"No, it's the tree cat, the lamp tree cat. They are regarded as the source of 'wishing'." Maomao shook his head, denying Lu Ping'an's guess.
Hearing this, Lu Ping'an was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
As Lu Ping'an's most trusted follower, Maomao also became his de facto bodyguard and intelligence chief.
In daily life, she has to summarize and review a lot of information, so she naturally knows something about this kind of news. In fact, Maomao's performance is much better than Lu Ping'an expected.
This is what surprised Lu Ping'an now. He originally thought that some big guys had overstepped the boundaries, but he didn't expect it to be the so-called "natural belief."
In fact, since Lu Ping'an was indeed "working", the other big guys were quite friendly to him, and Lu Ping'an was even curious about which one of them suddenly crossed the line.
"Leave it alone? Or ban meow?"
Since Lu Ping'an asked about it, Intelligence Maomao naturally asked about how to deal with it.
".Deal with it, guide them, direct their faith to the God of Redemption, and say that the lamp tree is the beacon of the God of Redemption, which can guide them to have the power to protect themselves."
During this period, the doctrines of Guan Xinxian's Redemption Church/Chamber of Commerce were also being compiled. Since there was an opportunity, Lu naturally wanted to add fuel to the fire.
What happens if you don't guide?
"Nothing will happen. Faith has directionality, which can lead to interaction." The big cat responded affirmatively.
During this period, everyone has been making rapid progress. The last time he saw Guan Xinxian, Lu Ping'an felt that he could no longer see through him.
Now, Lu Ping'an is still trying his best to add human anchor points to it, to avoid the situation where he completely becomes a "mechanical godhead" when he really reaches the point of becoming a god.
After finishing the sudden new work, I continued my dating and shopping.
“Is this the statue?”
In a small jewelry shop, Lu Ping'an looked at some light tree decorations.
To be honest, it is much more refined than expected. It not only simulates the texture of the lamp tree and makes luminous patterns like the sun, but also draws an imaginary "sun" at the top.
And when Lu Ping'an observed it with his spiritual vision, he did see the "will" on it.
This is an existence that is difficult to understand. It is not a statue with a crystal of divine power. It is probably just that some people regard it as an object of "faith".
".Something's wrong."
Looking at this seemingly ordinary iron statue, Lu Ping'an inexplicably felt that something was wrong.
He held it in his hand and turned it over for a while, but there didn't seem to be any difference.
This is a very interesting "artwork". In order to express the image, the sun emblem on the top of the sculpture looks like the phoenix in oriental legends.
"The Eye of Truth."
Lu Ping'an looked at it, and there seemed to be a faint line extending into the void.
At this moment, Lu Ping'an remembered the "interesting news" he saw on the contact page two days ago.
"Interesting. Boss, I'll buy all these statues no matter how much they are. I'll send them directly to the city government office later."
After putting down the statue, Lu Ping'an was not in a hurry to pursue the matter. Since it was a rare opportunity to get out today, he naturally enjoyed himself.
By midnight, Lu Ping'an's room was filled with a pile of dismantled tree god statues.
He actually took out some weird stuff from it.
"The problem isn't the tree, it's the sun. No, isn't it the phoenix in it?"
Lu Ping'an recalled some "interesting things" he saw on the communication board a few days ago.
"Has everyone encountered it? Something is stealing faith."
"Stealing faith? You don't mean some of us, do you? This is a pretty serious accusation. Do you have any evidence?"
"Yes, my statue has a three-headed dragon's sacred pattern painted on it."
"Three-headed dragon? That can't be one of ours."
The next day, Lu Ping'an posted his experience on Mr. Xiuyi's contact board.
"I also encountered 'fake idols' here. Someone is stealing faith."
This kind of thing is actually quite difficult to detect. After all, tampering with objects such as statues and holy paintings is time-consuming and laborious and has little meaning. Basically, this thing can only be used to fool mortals.
A professional's "beacon" is countless times more powerful than that of an ordinary mortal, and professionals need to connect with the gods. If they cannot get feedback, they will naturally realize that there is a problem.
These fragmented beliefs are not very effective and can easily anger the original owners of the statues. They are totally uneconomical and only a fool would do them.
"I've done this before, to disgust Ms. Lin." said Big Cat.
Well, even if existence has value, since there are people who really harm others and do not benefit themselves, there is nothing good to comment on it.
"I haven't offended anyone. Besides, this doesn't make much sense. I don't plan to collect signposts and beliefs right now."
"Then he can only be a thief. Even if he only has a little faith, it is urgently needed."
Lu Ping'an was just stating the facts; he was not the first person to have problems, nor would he be the last.
Multiple examples also made many big guys realize that something was wrong. When they took this matter seriously and began to investigate the statues related to themselves in the territory, they naturally found more things that were wrong.
"There are currently six discovered, including a three-headed dragon, a phoenix, a dog, a giant scorpion, a long-handed creature, and a whale."
If you really investigate carefully, you will quickly find something wrong with this kind of large-scale "electricity theft".
".Is it an ancient mythical beast?"
At this time, the bosses had not yet realized what was wrong.
"It should be that in the previous war, most of them were awakened, some were killed by the enemy, and some fell into sleep again."
"That's weird. Why do they need to believe in the Beacon? They are born and raised naturally. They don't need this kind of nutrition at all."
"Could it be that they intend to emulate us and grow into professionals and become gods? That path doesn't suit them, and they might become even weaker after evolving."
It was a bit strange, but no one took it seriously. After all, these ancient mythical beasts, which were originally awakened by the world consciousness as cannon fodder, were quite strong but their IQs were generally not high. The threat they posed to everyone was quite limited. They were more like a natural disaster that could be exploited.
"Just leave it alone."
However, high-end professionals in the life system often have an inexplicable craze for super creatures. A professional above level eight directly followed the clues and tried to find the three-headed dragon that "stole electricity".
Then he died.
Everyone was a little surprised, and some even laughed at him for his misfortune, until Lord Shuichi brought his last words.
“Personality fragments! The personality fragments of the world consciousness are in those divine beasts! He is trying to make the world consciousness regain its personality by ascending to godhood!!”
