Just count on your fingers and think that thousands of years have passed since the time of the world's change.

During these thousands of years, the changes in the outside world are changing with each passing day, and new changes will occur rapidly almost every decade.

After just a few thousand years, the earth changed.

In the outside world, productivity explodes. Although people are still oppressed, their lives have changed drastically.

The growth of productivity brings changes in all aspects.

This also transformed the outside world into another appearance.

At this moment, most areas of the ancestor world already have the familiar appearance of Chen Heng.

I think that after a few more years, the world will continue to move forward and will become familiar to Chen Heng.

But in the territory of the two gods, the God of Shadow and Lord of Nature, everything still stagnates.

This shows a similar appearance to when the bloodline ancestor still existed.

In the Kado Empire, people still live in the past way, and nobles rule everything. If civilians were born, there were only two ways out, either escape from the Kado Empire, or rely on faith to become a priest of a god.

From then on, there is no other road.

At that time, the arrival of the God of Shadow brought changes to this country, allowing people who could only rely on their bloodline to take a second path and become stronger by relying on the power of faith.

But in a flash of time, the blood nobles had already disintegrated and disappeared under Chen Heng's means.

However, the church that was originally a way out for people has now become another mountain pressing on people, directly replacing the status of the former blood nobles.

Although the outside world changes rapidly, everything within the Cardo Empire is still the same as before, without any change.

Why is this?

Regarding this question, the God of Shadow and Lord of Nature remained silent, but after watching the whole process, they both understood the reason.

It has been said before that the reason why the order of the blood nobles is unbreakable is that at the top of the blood nobles, there is also an existence known as the ancestor.

Ordinary civilians may have revolutionized the monarch and emperor, but they will never shake the ancestors of the top leaders.

Not to mention the ancestor, even if a fourth-level existence is placed in front of them, unless they have equal existences, they will rely solely on ordinary people, no matter how many they are, they will be ants.

Correspondingly, the same is true for the situation within the Cardo Empire.

After thousands of years of evolution, priests in the Cardo Empire were everywhere and churches were everywhere.

These priests adhered to the teachings of the God of Shadow and were very pious to the God of Shadow, but they still hindered the transformation of the lower class.

Because of their existence, the upper class of the entire Cardo Empire is unbreakable.

This is not the ordinary world.

In the ordinary world, conflicts will inevitably break out between royal power and divine power. The so-called faith is just a banner, which will sharpen the contradictions.

But in the world where gods really exist, this conflict becomes digestion.

When the power of the divine power is so strong that no power can resist, there is no way to start with the change.

Of course, the two Gods of Shadow did give the majority of believers a way out.

Theoretically, within the Cardo Empire, only faith is pious enough that even a commoner born can rise up, and it is not impossible to become a pope.

Compared to the past, this is indeed an improvement.

But it doesn't help the overall form.

What is selected through this path is the ability to be pious about faith, and what it competes with is piety to the God of Shadow, which does not help the production of the entire society.

The priests screened through this path may have powerful power, but this power itself will not be used in production, but will be used to suppress the changes at the bottom.

This is completely different from the outside world.

As time goes by, everything changes.

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

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

In the Cardo Empire, everything was so prosperous when the notice of the blood nobles was broken.

The old order was broken and the people were liberated. As long as ordinary mortals had enough piety, they could also improve their own class and become high-ranking rulers.

Because of the existence of gods, these ascension priests must be pious, and therefore they will also worship the doctrines of gods piously, and therefore are more intimate to the lower class people, and are much softer than the blood nobles in the past.

But over time, everything changed.

As the priests were promoted, a new ruling class began to rise.

The priests themselves do make pious contributions to the gods, 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?

The gods are high above, but ordinary people always have concerns that cannot be given up.

No matter how piously you contribute to the gods, your love for children is ultimately portrayed in your bones.

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

The road for ordinary people to move forward is getting narrower and narrower.

Of course, the priests who worship devoutly can stand out at any time.

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

In addition, do priests really just need piety?

not necessarily.

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

But only devotion can only feel the existence of gods, but cannot attract divine power.

To truly attract divine power and become a priest, you still need sufficient qualifications.

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

It was fine at the beginning, because the blood nobles had just been eliminated at that time, the population was not large, and the space occupied by the priests was not too large, so it was naturally a prosperous scene.

But as time goes by, the population at the bottom continues to grow, the conflict between people and land gradually becomes sharp, and the priests at the upper level occupy more and more channels for promotion, and the people at the bottom cannot see any hope.

Various contradictions became sharp, and there were turmoils in the entire Cardo Empire almost every moment.

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

What they did was not exactly the same as the blood nobles of the past, nor could they be said to be almost the same.

The only difference is that they are God's shepherds after all, and considering the sustainable development of faith, it may be lighter to start?

I guess so.

As seen by the God of Shadow, there has been almost no major changes in the Cardo Empire throughout the thousands of years.

Because all the changes were suppressed by the Shadow God Priests who had absolute power, and they disappeared without even a spark burst out.

Without these changes and without the outbreak of productivity, various contradictions cannot be resolved from the root cause. We can only adopt the method of treating the symptoms but not the root cause, and regularly massacre part of the population, thereby delaying the contradiction between poor productivity and excessive population.

After a turmoil, the population that originally seemed to be flooding dropped a lot, and the contradictions were temporarily covered up until they broke out again decades later.

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

One problem is that social contradictions are always sharp and exist in all aspects of the Cardo Empire. People in the upper class live in desolation and dream of death, and only know how to pray and enjoy life all day long.

The people at the bottom lost their light, and there was no way ahead to let them go, so they could only live in a daze.

Another problem is that God's sacrifices gradually no longer regard the lower class people as part of themselves.

Perhaps the first generation of priests could still regard themselves as the same people as the lower class, but as time went on, the priests continued to suppress the lower class, and their hands were dyed red, and their mentality would naturally change.

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

In their long vitality, a massacre begins almost every once in a while.

Over time, it is normal for a change in mentality.

The God of Shadow just watched this situation occur.

It's ironic to say.

The power of gods needs to be supplemented by faith, so the number of people at the bottom of the class who are the source of faith is naturally the better.

At the same time, they also demanded that their priests be able to treat the people like shepherds and manage the believers for the gods.

But the result gradually evolved into this.

As a shepherd, the priest became an accomplice in suppressing the people because of the power given by the gods.

And those people, under the strong range of faith in the Cardo Empire, are actually believers of the Shadow God himself.

If your priests go to suppress their believers, there is no one else to do this.

If other gods in the world of gods know, they may laugh out loud.

For gods, the more believers, the better.

But the priests of the Shadow God have to regularly suppress riots and suppress their believers in a nearly slaughter-like manner, resulting in the number of believers being maintained within a certain range.
