The speaker was the chief space-time and dimensional engineer of the Geometry Civilization. His eyes never left the transmitted influences, and he made a bold guess.
It's like holding a cup high up and then placing another cup in the original place. Their two-dimensional coordinates will of course overlap!
……
Just as the Geometric civilization was astonished by the strange disappearance of the planet, in the new world, with time flowing ten times faster, a year had passed quietly.
A year is very short on a cosmic scale, and a galaxy voyage may take several years. But for the creatures in the new world, it is extremely long, and many creatures have iterated four or five times.
In the first few months, the impact of the three suns caused the extinction of a large number of animals and plants, but fortunately, organisms can always find a way out, and the adaptability brought about by rapid iteration is also excellent.
However, the most important thing is the Geometry Star's micro-biological transformation machine, which can silently realize the modification of a race at the genetic level, providing a lot of convenience.
After Lin En had arranged all this, he was able to accept the results of the breeding with peace of mind.
There are more than twenty kinds of magically modified creatures spread all over the world. Thanks to their terrifying reproduction and growth rates, the number of intelligent creatures has quickly exceeded one billion, and the number of ordinary creatures has exceeded one hundred billion, not including insects, plankton and various microorganisms.
Countless lives die every minute and every second due to the brutal struggle for survival. Under the guidance of the dead priesthood, a large number of souls are incorporated into the godhead and then transformed into magic power to resist the scouring of the quantum sea...
Chapter 636: Electromagnetic Priesthood and the Broad-eyed Beast Prophet
Lin En was hanging high in the void, looking down at the entire planet below.
This place has long become his divine domain, so even without the help of detectors distributed on various continents, Lin En can still intuitively "see" what is happening on the planet every moment, including large-scale tribal wars involving millions of intelligent creatures, and the law of the jungle at the edge of the jungle...
Although this is the fourth divine domain constructed by Lin En, it is extremely different.
Humans are the absolute protagonists in Eternal Star, and because they were once human beings, the more gentle means adopted by Lin En can be regarded as long-term and mutually beneficial.
As for other intelligent races and magical beasts, their numbers are relatively small, so research on them is always limited.
The alien world and the moon are one world on the verge of destruction and the other a barren satellite, neither of which can be considered a complete planet of life.
The planet under your feet is the real testing ground where you can do whatever you want!
Lin En stretched out his hand, and countless floating points of light suddenly appeared in his palm, so densely packed that their number was difficult to count.
However, most of the light spots looked very dim, like some kind of plankton, floating aimlessly, and only a few appeared very active, constantly rushing around.
Each point of light is a soul.
Billions of souls were trapped in a palm-sized donut-shaped sphere.
During this year, of course, more lives have died on the planet beneath our feet than just this few.
After some experiments, Lin En discovered that even in an environment with high concentration of magic, only intelligent creatures above the fourth level can condense a materialized soul.
As for other creatures with lower intelligence levels, their consciousness will perish along with their bodies after natural death, unless they mutate under the transformation of magic.
After studying for a while, Lin En's mind moved, and the gray-white dead soul fog spread and surged up. A large number of souls were immediately swallowed up by the death power and turned into nutrients...
The soul is the medium for the conversion of matter and magic. This is a speculation that has been verified before. After obtaining the priesthood of the dead, this conversion has become extremely convenient and he hardly needs to spend much effort.
It took a whole day just to transform such a large number of souls.
The vast amount of souls replenished Lin's divine power that was gradually depleted due to resisting the scouring of the quantum sea. The surplus was about 40%, and it can be predicted that as time goes by and the number of intelligent creatures increases further, this proportion will increase a lot.
Lin En also planned to take this opportunity to do something.
Converge a priesthood!
Priesthood is an extremely important source of power for a god. For example, before he obtained the priesthood of the dead, it might take him half a month to transform billions of souls, but now it only takes about a day.
It is a bit like a more advanced spell position. When a god with this priesthood casts the corresponding system of spells, it is as natural as breathing.
As for the divine arts involving other priests, Lin En always believed that it would not have much impact. However, after formally contacting the gods of the main world, he changed his mind.
Because the gods he fought with basically used the power of their own priesthood as usual, which made Lin En guess
And I am very likely a special case, because there are no other priesthoods in this world, and the priesthood of Mathematical Olympiad is very broad, covering almost every aspect.
Ella should have realized this, or discovered something from the legacy of the previous Moon God. When she first established her faith and promoted her doctrine, she gave herself the title of the God of Creation and forcibly suppressed others, trying to make all believers believe that she controlled everything in the world.
Of course, Ella's plan was bound to fail in the end. With a population of 20 million and millions of devout believers on the Eternal Star, it was impossible to gather a priesthood of such a high status.
Lin En did not intend to achieve success overnight, nor was he prepared to spend a lot of time to condense a priesthood that was of little use. After careful consideration, he set his sights on thunder.
Thunder and lightning are extremely powerful natural forces. Their essence is the mutual attraction between positive and negative charges, which eventually lead to neutralization when they meet.
After Anthony invented electrotherapy, even official wizards could barely use its power, but would be restrained by the Faraday cage.
But the power of thunder is far more than that simple. You must know that the strong nuclear force, weak nuclear force and electromagnetic force among the four basic forces are all related to it. Only the gravitational force that involves dimensions and space-time cannot be unified.
It can be said that apart from dimensions, electromagnetic force is the fundamental existence that constitutes the laws governing the operation of all things in the universe. Its upper limit is astonishingly large, which is why Lin En chose this priesthood.
Now we must seize this opportunity, and while completing the breakthrough, we must also condense the priesthood of the electromagnetic system!
Lin En closed his eyes and sensed it. The thick dark clouds in the sky were gradually condensing, and strong thunder was constantly flashing inside.
……
Time passed day by day, and after three years of brutal expansion, demonic creatures filled every corner of the planet.
As one of the three fourth-level intelligent creatures, the Broad-eyed Beast has undoubtedly become the protagonist of one of the continents.
Those broad-eyed beasts who had once looked at the sun and had their eyes burned became prophets of the tribe. They claimed that they had received divine revelation and saw the truth of the world!
And after losing their eyes, their ears and perception abilities became more sensitive than before. Under the influence of magic, they can even control fire and strong winds - this is undoubtedly regarded as a gift from God!
If the rest of the tribesmen want to become prophets and learn to master the power of fire and strong wind, they must look directly at the three suns when the three-day sky-high phenomenon appears every few years and offer their most proud eyes in exchange for God's gift and enlightenment!
Some prophets of the Broad-Eyed Beasts firmly believed that the stars in the sky disappeared because God gathered them together and created two more suns!
That sea area has become a holy place in the minds of the broad-eyed beasts. As time goes by, the myths passed down by word of mouth become more and more outrageous. A large number of books and legends about gods that were made up by imagination were engraved on the rock walls for believers to worship.
Under the fanatical belief, some broad-eyed beasts will even blind themselves on their own initiative to show their piety and try to obtain divine revelation.
But God has no time to care about them...
Chapter 637: The storm is the cry of the gods, and the thunder is the wrath of the gods!
On the Three Stars Day, during the celebration of worshiping the gods, the great prophet Mukade of the Kuomu Beast Tribe stared at the sky covered by dark clouds, feeling extremely sad.
According to historical records, every four years at this time, three suns would rise simultaneously on the other side of the sea, forming a strange spectacle of three suns rising into the sky.
But the situation this time was extremely different. There were nothing but dark clouds in the sky, and a powerful thunderstorm could be vaguely seen condensing inside.
Such bad weather has lasted for hundreds of days, so that the platypuses of recent generations have never seen the sun from birth to death. The occasional heavy rains have posed a huge challenge to the survival and reproduction of the tribe.
Therefore, the great prophet Mukade has been waiting, waiting for the miracle of three days of soaring into the sky to dispel all the haze. But unfortunately, looking at the current celestial phenomena, Mukade suddenly realized that his idea would most likely fail.
Noisy 'grunting sounds' continued to echo along the coast. The broad-eyed beasts that gathered nearby and came to participate in the celebration were also somewhat uneasy. They stared at Mukade and others on the stage, expecting these prophets who had received divine revelation to give an explanation.
In particular, when will the gradually spreading thunderstorm weather subside? Good weather is required for hunting, fishing, animal husbandry and planting.
The great prophet Mukade stared at the anxious broad-eyed beast below with his empty eyes. After pondering for a moment, a loud voice soon rang out.
"This is a warning from God, my people!"
"Storms are the gods' cries, and thunder is the gods' wrath..."
"Obviously... this kind of weather is a punishment from the great god to the entire tribe!"
The words of the great prophet caused an uproar among the hundreds of thousands of broad-eyed beasts gathered here. Fear condensed in the minds of every broad-eyed beast. From time to time, someone nervously asked the great prophet what they had done wrong to offend the gods and thus bring down their anger.
The great prophet Mukad raised his scepter high to stop the noise, then raised his voice again and said compassionately, "The reason for this divine punishment is that there is a crack in our faith..."
"As the tribal territory and population expand, more and more broad-eyed beast tribes have deviated from their original intentions, and even disregarded the protection and guidance of the gods, provoking wars between tribes and wantonly creating killings... This is a betrayal of the grace of the gods!"
Mukade became more and more excited as he spoke, and the broad-eyed beasts gathered on the beach were soon immersed in it. They had no doubt about the words of the great prophet, because when the storm appeared and spread, the tribal war was at its most intense.
However, at this moment, a burst of violent shouting abruptly interrupted the great prophet's passionate words.
"Lies, these are all lies!"
The sharp and piercing sound instantly attracted everyone's attention, and the great prophet Mukade was no exception. He was extremely shocked and angry that someone dared to refute his words in public.
To everyone's surprise, the person who spoke was the leader of a large tribe.
"Do you want to question God's revelation, Shago?" The great prophet Mukade also recognized it. Although he was blind, the wind would always tell him the answer.
Mukade's rebuke was harsh enough to be described as blasphemy in the Kuromu tribe. Blasphemy was an unforgivable crime, and even the tribal leader would be subject to the most severe punishment.
However, Shago was not afraid at all and shouted angrily, "There is no divine revelation at all, Mukade! You deceived us! You deceived everyone..."
As the broad-eyed beasts were in an uproar, Shago raised his hand high, and a fierce flame suddenly erupted from his palm, and he roared, "This is the evidence!"
Mukade's calm expression suddenly became extremely ugly.
According to the prophets, magic is a gift from God, a gift given to the most devout believers. Only by offering the most precious eyes of the broad-eyed beast can one be qualified to learn and master it.
And now Shago has mastered magic without any guidance and without looking directly at the three suns to gain divine grace!
Seeing the flames erupting from Shago's palm, all the broad-eyed beasts present were horrified. Even some of the prophets had expressions of disbelief on their faces, and a crack appeared in the firm faith in their hearts.
They gave up their proud farsightedness in order to gain the ability to control fire. Now Shago told them that they didn't need to endure the unspeakable pain. How could they accept this?
"Lies, these are all lies!" "There is no divine revelation at all. These prophets misinterpreted the divine will and angered the gods!" "They are the blasphemers!"
The leaders of other tribes also took the opportunity to attack, shouting loudly, and then led their guards to charge towards the platform.
This was undoubtedly a premeditated change of power.
Ever since the first prophets witnessed the miracles, theocracy has completely taken precedence over secular power. Even the appointment and dismissal of the leaders of the major tribes must obey the will of "God".
In the past, many tribal leaders were afraid of the power of God and could only swallow their anger. Now they have finally waited for this opportunity!
The successive bad weather events have made the broad-eyed beasts living on this continent miserable, and the dozens of prayers and sacrifices made by the prophets have not had any effect. Doubts have been heard one after another, so this grand celebration has become the best opportunity!
"Kill these rebels for me!" The great prophet Mukade waved his scepter in anger, spraying out a strong stream of fire, killing several approaching broad-eyed beast warriors.
However, the other prophets, who usually lived a life of luxury, were caught completely off guard.
Due to the bad rainy weather, the air became extremely humid, and the power of the flames was greatly weakened. Many prophets were stabbed to the ground by sharp bone spears before they could even cast magic...
Blood and wailing continued to echo along the coast, and tens of thousands of corpses dyed the nearby sea red.
In fact, this scene did not only happen on the coast. The leaders who had been prepared also arranged people in the tribe to kill the prophets' followers.
However, even if they seized the initiative at the grand celebration, they could not undermine the huge influence of these prophets who spoke in the name of God on the tribe.
