The strong breath began to rise.

On the high platform, Chris's breath rushed into the sky and into the air.

That breath is so powerful that even if there are various instruments everywhere to suppress it, it can't be suppressed at all.

Bang!

As if the glass were broken, the nothingness around was involved and swept around.

The breath belonging to Chris is rising. At the beginning, it swept all directions. In the end, it has spread rapidly and occupied the whole city.

There are tens of millions of people gathered in this city, but now it has completely changed under the traction of Chris's breath. It is directly guided, and everyone's strength and breath converge on Chris.

The strength and breath of a single person is nothing, but when the breath and momentum of tens of millions of people are gathered and pulled together and condensed on one person, that breath is extremely terrible.

That's it.

The breath of horror rushed into the sky and suppressed the four sides.

In the distance, Jameson and others kept their faces unchanged, just stared quietly and sighed: "what a spectacular sight..."

"Yeah..."

There was also an echo on one side.

For them, although the scene in front of them is terrible, it is still acceptable.

They are all pioneers, and they are also the closest existence to that level in the world except Chris. Therefore, they have long assumed the strength of this level.

At the moment, Chris's performance just confirmed their speculation and made them understand that this power is real.

"This is the power that only ancient kings can have..."

Jameson looked at the figure of Chris in the distance, with a little complexity in his eyes.

The Ninth level, which is placed in the ancient times of the world, is the level that only those ancient kings can ascend.

Only those ancient kings who are closest to the ancestors and almost the direct descendants of the ancestors can have this power.

This was unimaginable for Jameson in the past.

Now, however, some people are breaking the laws of the past with their own strength and trying to climb to that level with their own strength.

For people in other worlds, such as Charlie and others, this is nothing but the most serious thing.

But for the once blood aristocrats in the world, the occurrence of this kind of thing is no different from a myth.

I've seen many similar myths in Jameson.

From the past four orders, five orders, and now nine orders, Jameson has witnessed breakthroughs and limits again and again.

Sometimes he thought that maybe everything in the past era was wrong in itself.

Otherwise, why has this new era just begun to achieve such great achievements?

After the passing of the past years, the establishment of this era is only thousands of years, but it has been beyond recognition and achieved such great results.

The earth is so wonderful and prosperous that both extraordinary and ordinary people can have a rich and colorful life.

Those who are willing to make progress have their own way to go, and those who are unwilling to work hard can live in peace, not like in the past.

In contrast, the past era seemed wonderful, but in fact it was like a prison, which trapped everyone in it and couldn't get rid of it.

Relatively speaking, the present era is better.

Even a once absolute beneficiary like Jameson, a complete royal family, thought so, let alone others.

Perhaps to some extent, for ordinary people in this world, this era is like heaven, which is the world they dream of.

Of course, there is no absolute perfection in this world.

Even now, in Jameson's view, there are still many people dissatisfied with this and even want to subvert it.

But this in no way changes the fact and truth that this era is better than the past.

As thoughts passed, Jameson looked up and looked ahead.

Chris is now almost halfway through his promotion.

In other words, most of the threshold has been crossed by him, leaving only the last few obstacles.

But it's only a matter of time for Chris.

In Jameson's mind, Chris can't fail to pass the promotion.

Even if he fails, Chris will not fail. This is Jameson's confidence in Chris.

To some extent, this confidence is accumulated over a long time.

On various occasions in the past, no matter what he did, Chris will never let people down and has been ahead of everyone.

It is this once brilliant that gives everyone confidence that the other party can succeed.

But to what extent will the other party go on like this?

Jameson couldn't help thinking: "after the Ninth level, it seems to be......"

In his heart flashed the noun that had almost become obsession.

the son of god.

Above the Ninth level is the demigod, which is also called the son of God in this world, which means the son of God.

In this world, demigods are the descendants of their former ancestors and the divine children bred by them in various ways.

It is impossible for mortals to peep into that field.

Not even now.

But not now. What about the future?

Jameson couldn't help the thought flashed in his heart, and his body began to throb.

Countless times, he wanted to see a son who was nurtured by himself.

But now, it seems that he himself may have reached this step, as a mortal, to the extent of once sacred children.

Thinking of this, his face could not help but become calm, and the mood in his heart became more and more firm. It seemed that he had strengthened some faith.

What Jameson and others didn't know was that when they watched the promotion ceremony, there were also people watching here where there was no one.

Moreover, the viewer is not an ordinary person, but three holy statues.

Chen Heng stood quietly in nothingness, looking at the scene above the earth below.

On that scene, a tall tower stands with Chris on it.

He worked hard there and roared at the whole world.

Looking at his appearance, Chen Heng couldn't help smiling: "it seems that the first sacredness of the world will be born soon..."

"What do you think?"

He looked at the shadow gods in front of him and asked with a smile.

For Chen Heng's inquiry, the God of shadow and the Lord of nature were silent.

Gu Yu

At this time, they looked at Chris at their feet and felt very complicated.

In only a few years, the world has bred an existence with the potential to ascend the sacred.

"It's amazing..."

The Lord of nature opened his mouth, and his tone sounded a little complicated: "it's only five or six thousand years. He has come to this step. If he is given another ten thousand years, he may really have the possibility to ascend the Holy Land..."

Chris undoubtedly has the possibility to ascend the divine, which is the conclusion made by the God of shadow long ago.

Only in the past, in their eyes, this possibility was not very great, but now it is another matter.

With their eyes, they have been able to vaguely feel the fate track to a certain extent.

Therefore, when they feel the throbbing, they understand that if there is no accident, a future sacred will soon be born.

This speed is really very fast.

"How's your situation?"

After reading Chris, Chen Heng turned his eyes and looked at the God of shadow.

For thousands of years, the God of shadow has been trying.

Taking the cardo empire as an experimental site, he made various attempts to find a balance between faith and development.

However, in the end, what he welcomed was a complete failure.

At the beginning, he tried to reduce the priest's obstacles to the secular world by reducing the priest's life span and weakening his power.

The attempt was undoubtedly a failure.

Because the God of shadow soon found that if the power of priests is weakened too much, it will lead to the resistance of secular forces. At that time, the church with priests as the backbone will be impacted and the faith will no longer be feared.

At that time, the situation will be much worse than before.

The attempt has since failed.

Then the God of shadow made various attempts. For example, while strengthening the power of priests, he also focused on supporting some secular genius figures, making them the son of destiny for a period of time, and leading the cardo Empire to complete changes again and again.

Such operations are not uncommon.

In many specific periods of the world, there are basically similar situations. A strong man appears and smashes everything. There is no way to stop anything in front of him.

Of course, in the cardo empire with such powerful priestly power, this routine of falling fierce men is still difficult to succeed.

Under normal circumstances, no matter what kind of fierce man you are, you should lie down under the blockade and suppression of powerful priest power, and there is no room for you to play.

If it's a dragon or a tiger, lie down.

But with the strong support of the shadow God, the priest's final backstage, this almost impossible change succeeded.

With all kinds of luck comparable to winning the lottery, those reformers made it possible and completed changes again and again.

Then the shadow God was silent again.

Because when the change came into being, the productivity developed greatly, but the situation did not develop towards the scene he imagined.

The growth of productivity will lead to a population explosion, but it will also greatly develop the wisdom of the people.

When education keeps up, believers are no longer as pious as before.

Only those in despair are the most devout believers.

Because a man in despair has nothing and can only rely on his God.

But after the development of the public, people are amazed to find that they can rely on their own work to get everything they want, enough food, gorgeous clothes and a better life.

In this case, faith will inevitably dissipate and retreat.

Perhaps in the traditional atmosphere, many people will still enter the church to worship and pray, and only pray to God for all kinds of wishes.

But this is no longer the so-called faith.

This belief is no longer pure, but just trading.

True believers will not give up their faith and worship just because God does not give gifts, but will integrate their faith into their own lives.

If you pray to God only when you need it, and abandon God only when you don't need it, is that still faith?

Because of this, the God of shadow will be silent and don't know what to do.

If the productive forces are developed, the people's wisdom will inevitably expand, and then their faith will subside.

However, if we stubbornly cut off these, suppress the wisdom of the people and return everything to the original, it will lead to the death of a large number of people and believers.

This is also a serious waste.

Compared with the two, neither seems to be good.

So, is there a way to have the best of both worlds?

There seems to be.

As long as we suppress all the believers and provide them with enough food to reproduce and have enough to eat and drink, we can naturally reduce contradictions, prevent riots from happening, and let the priests stop suppressing the believers belonging to the shadow God.

In short, it is to obtain materials from the outside world to keep their believers in captivity.

Just as humans keep livestock in captivity, they keep their believers in captivity as livestock.

The sacrifice of gods became shepherds guarding livestock.

This is the final solution obtained by the God of shadow.

After trying, the effect is really good.

Because of sufficient food, people will no longer worry about their livelihood. At the same time, they don't have to worry about their livelihood. Everyone can easily live and don't have to compete for limited living space.

At the same time, because of the existence of faith, their inner spiritual world can be filled, and their endurance will be improved to the greatest extent.

This can be sustained for a long time.

It's perfect in theory.

But there are two huge defects.

The first is to obtain food from the outside world.

Otherwise, with the increasing population, contradictions will eventually break out.

The second problem is that this system can only be used in a relatively closed system.

Because if the system is not closed enough and there are equal or even more powerful enemies in the outside world, this set will not survive in the competition and will be affected or even disintegrated by external forces sooner or later.

Within the cardo Empire, this condition can be perfectly realized.

"Unfortunately..."

The God of shadow looked at the world under his feet and looked at the believers who lived in the cardo Empire, looked fanatical and didn't worry about food and drink. His mood couldn't help getting complicated.

The God of shadow is not an evil god. On the contrary, he is a very enlightened God who has fought for believers more than once in the past.

Therefore, when he saw the changes in the world of his ancestors, he hoped that his believers could do the same and become better like people outside.

But there seems to be a natural impulse between civilization and faith.

In other words, those people still have faith in their hearts, but what they believe is no longer imposed on them by others, but something they believe in themselves.
