Fantasy Simulator Chapter 835

Counting by fingers, it has been thousands of years since the world changed.

There will be rapid changes in the outside world every few decades.

After just a few thousand years, the earth has changed.

In the outside world, productivity has exploded. Although people are still oppressed, their lives have changed dramatically.

The growth of productivity brings about changes in other aspects.

This has also transformed the outside world into another.

At the moment, most regions of the ancestral world have the appearance familiar to Chen Heng.

In a few more years, if the world continues to develop, it will become familiar to Chen Heng.

But in the territory of the two gods, the God of shadow and the Lord of nature, everything is still stagnant.

This shows a similar appearance to when the original blood ancestors still existed.

In the cardo Empire, people still live in the way they used to live, and the nobility rules everything. If they were born civilians, there are only two ways out, either to escape the cardo empire or to become a priest of gods by relying on faith.

There is no other way.

At the beginning, the arrival of the shadow God brought changes to this country, so that people who could only rely on blood had a second way to go, and could rely on the power of faith to become strong..

However, after so many years, the blood aristocrats had already disintegrated and disappeared by Chen Heng's means.

However, the church, which used to be people's way out, has now become another mountain pressing on people, directly replacing the status of blood aristocrats.

Although the outside world has changed rapidly, everything within the cardo Empire remains the same and has not changed at all.

Why?

For this problem, the God of shadow and the Lord of nature kept silent, but after looking at the whole process, they all understood the reason.

Previously, it has been said that the order of blood aristocrats is unbreakable because there is a well-known ancestor at the top of blood aristocrats.

Ordinary civilians may change the lives of monarchs and emperors, but they can never shake the ancestors at the top.

Not to mention the ancestor, even if a fourth-order existence is placed in front of them, unless they have an equivalent existence, they only rely on ordinary people, no matter how many they are.

Correspondingly, the same is true within the cardo empire.

After thousands of years of evolution, there were priests everywhere and churches everywhere in the cardo empire.

These priests adhered to the doctrine of the God of shadow and were very devout to the God of shadow, but they still hindered the reform of the lower class.

Because of their existence, the upper echelons of the entire cardo Empire were unbreakable.

This is not an ordinary world.

If it is an ordinary world, the conflict between kingship and divine power will inevitably break out, and the so-called belief is only a banner, which will sharpen the contradiction.

But in a world where God only exists, this conflict becomes digestion.

When theocracy is so strong that all forces cannot resist, there is no way to talk about change.

Of course, the two gods of shadow did give the majority of believers a way out.

In theory, in the cardo Empire, only faith is pious enough. Even a civilian born person can rise up, and even becoming a pope is not impossible.

Compared with the past, this is indeed a kind of progress.

But for the overall form, it doesn't help.

What is screened out through this path is the ability to believe in piety. What it competes for is the piety to the God of shadow, which is not helpful to the production of the whole society.

The priests selected through this path may have great power, but this power itself will not be used in production, but will be applied to the reform of the bottom layer of the town.

This is completely different from the outside world.

Over time, everything changed.

The shadow God looked at his earthly kingdom, and his mood was a little complicated.

During these thousands of years of observation, he watched the changes within the cardo empire with his own eyes.

Within the cardo Empire, when the notice of the blood aristocracy was broken, everything was so prosperous.

The old order was broken and the people were liberated. As long as ordinary mortals have enough piety, they can also improve their class and become superior rulers.

Because of the existence of gods, these elevated priests must be devout, so they will also devoutly worship the teachings of gods. Therefore, they are more friendly to the people at the bottom and softer than the blood aristocrats in the past.

But over time, everything changed.

With the promotion of a priest, a new ruling class began to rise.

It is true that priests themselves only contribute piously to God, but it does not mean that they will not seek benefits for themselves.

Even if they don't care, what about their relatives and children?

God is only high above, but ordinary people always have concerns and can't give up.

No matter how pious you are to God, your love for children is always portrayed in your bones.

The relatives of these priests will inevitably occupy many resources and control the channels of rise.

The way forward for ordinary people is becoming narrower and narrower.

Of course, devout priests can stand out at any time.

But what does this have to do with the vast number of civilians?

Besides, do priests really only need piety?

Not necessarily.

In fact, piety is only a prerequisite for becoming a priest.

But only piety, can only feel the existence of God, but can not attract the power of God.

To be a priest, you still need to have enough charisma.

This is destined to be a minority, and most people are still pressed under the mountains and squeezed.

At the beginning, it was good, because at that time, the blood aristocrats had just been eliminated, the population did not multiply much, and the space occupied by the priests was not too large. Naturally, it was a thriving scene.

However, with the passage of time, the population at the bottom continues to multiply, the contradiction between man and land is becoming increasingly acute, and the priests at the top occupy more and more promotion channels, so the people at the bottom can't see the slightest hope.

All kinds of contradictions became acute, and unrest occurred almost all the time throughout the cardo empire.

At this time, the priests of the shadow God replaced the blood nobles in the past and became the executors of suppressing unrest.

Not much difference between what they did as like as two peas of the past, but also the difference between them.

The only difference may be that they are God's shepherds after all. Considering the sustainable development of faith, they may start less?

Probably.

Gu Li

As far as the God of shadow can see, there has been little change in the cardo empire throughout thousands of years.

Because all changes were suppressed by the priests of the shadow God who mastered the absolute power, and disappeared without a spark.

Without these changes and the outbreak of productive forces, all kinds of contradictions can not be solved from the root. We can only take the method of treating the symptoms rather than the root causes, and regularly slaughter part of the population, so as to delay the contradiction between poor productive forces and excessive population.

After a turmoil, the number of people who appeared to be in flood decreased a lot, and the contradiction was temporarily covered up until it broke out again decades later.

When this is not the right way after all, it leads to many problems.

One problem is that social contradictions are always acute. They exist in all aspects of the cardo empire. People in the upper class are drunk and dream of death. They only know to pray and enjoy life all day.

The people at the bottom have lost light in their eyes. They can't see any road ahead for them to walk. They can only live in a muddle.

Another problem is that God's sacrifice gradually does not regard the people at the bottom as part of themselves.

Perhaps the priests of the early generation could still regard themselves as the same people as the people at the bottom, but with the passage of time, the priests kept pressing the people at the bottom and dyed their hands red with blood, so their mentality would naturally change.

Priests are also extraordinary, and powerful priests have a long life.

In their long vitality, they will start a massacre almost every other period of time.

Over time, it is normal for the mentality to change.

The God of shadow watched this happen.

The power of God only needs to be supplemented by faith. Therefore, the more people at the bottom as the source of faith, the better.

At the same time, they also asked their priests to treat the people like shepherds and manage the believers for God.

But as a result, it gradually evolved into this.

As a shepherd, the priest became an accomplice to suppress the people because of the power only given by God.

In fact, there are many believers under the shadow of the Empire.

There is no one to use their own priests to suppress their own believers.

If the other gods in the world only know, I'm afraid they will laugh.

For God, the more believers, the better.

However, the priests of the shadow God have to regularly suppress riots and suppress their believers in an almost massacre way, resulting in a certain range of believers.

The most important thing is that there is no way out.

It only takes a few changes to change today's mode of production and increase productivity, which can solve the problem from the root.

However, due to the existence of the priest class, this change can not be produced at all.

It is the shadow God himself who created the class of priests and gave them dominance.

The appearance of this situation makes the mood of the God of shadow more complicated.

Some people may think that since there are not enough changes within the cardo Empire to improve productivity, it is always OK to actively absorb the results of changes from the outside world, isn't it?

Not the same.

Change sometimes refers not only to technology, but also to a sensational revolution.

Just like a normal world, in order to achieve a significant increase in productivity, in addition to technical reform, it is more important to eliminate the class that lags behind the times and completely throw it into the garbage of history.

The so-called aristocratic class, feudal society is not so finished.

Otherwise, although the situation has changed, it can never really change.

In the cardo Empire, the class that hindered the development of the times was nothing else, but the priest class left by the God of shadow.

So here comes the question....

For ordinary people, who has the ability to change their lives?

Are you kidding.

Even an ordinary priest, as long as he has a level of power, is enough to rival an army of thousands of people.

Not to mention the high-level priests.

With such levels of power, ordinary people can't defeat it.

Ordinary people can't resist them no matter how much they jump.

This is why the shadow God is silent.

In these thousands of years, he also wanted to change this situation.

But even he himself, the God, was also unable to start when he wanted to change this situation. He didn't know where to start.

By this time, he finally understood something.

"I see..."

Standing beside Chen Heng, he sighed deeply.

If he didn't quite understand Chen Heng's previous practices, he can fully understand them now.

A class that cannot be defeated and eliminated is simply a nightmare.

If there is no comparison, it may be acceptable, but after seeing the changes of the outside world that are thriving and all moving in a good direction, and then looking at the dead cardo Empire, which seems to have not changed for thousands of years, there is an inexplicable complex feeling.

The Lord of nature also remained silent.

What she ruled was the territory occupied by the ancestors of ancient trees in the past. At the moment, like the kador empire of the God of shadow, it was also at a standstill, completely different from the outside world.

Most areas of the ancestral world have begun to enter the industrial age, and their territory is still in the past, as if nothing has changed.

This makes the Lord of nature think of the world of gods.

So is everything in the world of gods. After hundreds of thousands of years, nothing in the world has changed much.

In the past, because we didn't see the wider world, everyone felt that everything should be like this.

But now, after seeing all this in front of us, it makes people feel particularly twisted.

Perhaps the reason why the world of gods has become like this is also rooted in the gods.

The same is true of the world.

Now think about it. If Chen Heng and the God of shadow had not divided the territory and firmly limited their power to the regions such as the cardo Empire, I'm afraid the current world pattern would become like the world of gods.

Of course, it may be different.

Because Chen Heng has done a lot in this world.

Strictly speaking, any class that cannot be changed for a long time will play a role similar to the blood aristocracy, but it is not so thorough.
