369 Rudy's Church(1/2)
Just in terms of Rudy's personal fame and influence.
West Rand is the most indispensable part of his power puzzle.
And after Rudy completed the demigod contract with Taliers.
Got a way to build a temple and gain faith.
Rudy had already obtained a method of gaining faith from the elves before.
But he didn't use it easily at that time, but wanted to compare the two sides after getting this copy.
This time Rudy was anxious to return to the West Rand.
The top priority is also to study these two important pieces of information.
Now, for Rudy, nothing is more important than building the Chen Temple and gaining faith.
On the outskirts of Stern City, in a huge manor.
Rudy was dressed casually and sat on a lounge chair.
Behind him is a huge oak tree like an umbrella.
In front of him, an old man wearing a sacrificial robe stood respectfully.
This old man was once the highest high priest of the Natural Church.
But now, he and the Natural Church have taken refuge under Rudy's command.
Became the first high priest of the Rudy Church.
In fact, the people who use the Natural Church do not mean that Rudy trusts them very much, it is just that there is really no one available.
Originally, the number of people under Rudy was not very large, and they often wore multiple hats.
In addition, Rudy has had nothing to do with various church forces since his debut, and has even been in a hostile state.
Therefore, there are almost no religious personnel under him.
This forced him to fully utilize the personnel of the Natural Church after obtaining the method to build the temple.
It's just that the people are these people, but the purpose and teachings of the entire church are completely different from before.
Rudy himself does not have a particularly deep understanding of religion.
But before he traveled through time, he knew many ways to deceive people, such as certain sales, routine loans, etc.
After Rudy told the people of the Natural Church about the general techniques and routines.
These professionals were immediately stunned.
They have practiced religion all their lives, but they never thought that they could spread the teachings in this way.
Although this method somewhat blasphemes the majesty and sanctity of the gods.
But Rudy, as a 'god', doesn't care, so why should they bother.
As for the name of the church.
Rudy decided directly and called Rudy the Teacher.
Believers in Rudy's religion chant Rudy's god every time they pray, eat, or bathe.
Meanwhile in Stern City.
Construction of a large-scale and magnificent church began.
This will be Rudy's first temple and the foundation for his faith.
But before that, Rudy still needs to solve a problem.
This is the source of his faith.
This was also an important reason why he hurriedly returned to West Rand.
The West Rand is where he made his fortune.
The people here have a very deep impression of Rudy. Whether they like him or hate him, they all have extremely strong emotions.
This kind of emotion and obsession is the root of the power of faith.
In order for Rudy to transform these emotions and obsessions into beliefs, he must make his image sacred in the minds of the people.
To put it bluntly, it means showing miracles.
This is also a necessary process to become a god.
If we are all human beings, why do people believe in you?
No matter how wise a king or emperor is, he can win the love of the people, but he still cannot gain faith.
It is because they lack miracles that they are just mortals in the eyes of the people, not sacred.
Talk about miracles.
The first thing that came to Rudy's mind were some memories from his past life.
For example, there are colorful lights in the sky, and a figure with a halo behind his head can be vaguely seen among them.
Or come back to life, fly into the air, spit water and fire, etc.
But these miracles were surprising in his previous life, but in this world, they are just ordinary extraordinary abilities.
Based on these alone, it is not considered a miracle at all, but people are more likely to look at it as if they are mentally retarded.
So what kind of miracle was shown made Rudy quite pondering.
There are also many legends showing miracles in this world.
But these legends are similar to those that Rudy imagined before, but they are just very exaggerated.
For example, the classics about the God of Holy Light describe the miracles performed by the God of Holy Light when he became a god.
The endless sea of holy light covers nearly 1/3 of the continent. People who bathe in the holy light will have all their physical diseases eliminated, receive God's gifts, and feel physically and mentally happy.
There is also the god of nature, a huge oak tree suddenly rises into the sky, growing beyond the sky and spreading its canopy to cover a country.
In this year, the country's grain production increased more than ten times.
After reading this, Rudy still came up with some clues.
In this world, the only ways to display artifacts were what he thought of, but the degree of display must be exaggerated.
Otherwise, people would not be shocked and convinced at all, let alone have devout faith.
But thinking of this, Rudy frowned a little.
The situation on the mainland is actually very unclear right now.
Before, he successively killed the Black Emperor and beheaded Taliers,
It's enough to show off.
If he were to show miracles and gain faith at this time, many demigods would definitely become jealous.
The lessons learned from the previous siege of the Yinying Empire are still fresh in my mind.
Rudy doesn't want a similar situation to happen to him again.
Although Rudy's strength is now considered top-notch among demigods, he can still cope with the siege of at most three demigods at the same time.
Even with the help of Xiaobai and Ichibi Shukaku, he can resist up to four people without losing.
However, among the demigods who participated in the siege of the Yinying Empire, there were at least ten people who rushed directly in front to take action.
What's more, there are a few old cunts hiding behind that who haven't taken any action.
If the Yinying Empire had shown a deeper foundation at that time.
These people will definitely participate in the siege together.
So with just a flash of thought in Rudy's mind, he rejected the idea of showing miracles on a large scale.
In fact, the situation Rudy is facing now is pretty good.
First of all, his scope of influence is limited, and the territories he occupies are only the Kingdom of Thorne, the Kingdom of Hall, and a principality in the Silver-British Empire.
Compared to the spheres of influence controlled by the established demigods, either openly or covertly, these territories combined are only average.
And Rudy's ability to kill the Black Emperor and Talliers one after another was enough for him to hold on to these vested interests.
If Rudy shows too much aggression at this time.
It is very likely to cause a siege by the veteran demigod-level powerhouses, but if he does not take too many actions, those demigod-level powerhouses are not monolithic, and they will not target him like they did when they besieged the Yinying Empire.
So after Rudy thought carefully, he decided to dig deep, accumulate food, and slowly become king, instead of being the first to show miracles.
As for how to collect faith.
Rudy planned to use other methods to see if they could be substituted.
In fact, in order to gain faith, using the method of showing miracles is a relatively lazy method.
It only takes one act, which is not difficult for the gods, to make a large number of people fear and yearn for them, thus generating faith.
