Lu Ping'an was a little surprised, even a little unable to understand.
To a certain extent, "religion" has become a tool, a sphere of influence, and a property of high-level professionals who verify their own "principles" and find anchors for their beliefs.
He is laying out the layout, and he is dyeing the world with his own colors. But from another perspective, he is also building his own "temple" and the kingdom of God on earth.
Only those who have experienced modern society can understand the meaning of Lu Ping An's precipitation in the past six months.
He is rebuilding the industrial chain of this world, integrating those trivial technologies, light industries, and small handicraft industries into a normally functioning society.
Light industry, equipment manufacturing industry, heavy industry, power network, hydropower, he is rebuilding a modern society.
If the country in the capital was established administratively, here it is the reconstruction of the country in a real and substantive sense.
But at the same time, he also uses mortals to interpret his "ideas" and upgrade his "trading" methods.
When the various components of society are formed, and when the interaction and operation between them build the country's system, Lu Ping'an's "transaction" may become the circulation of "social order."
In a sense, Lu Pingan does not need the traditional church. Just the act of "trading" is to practice his philosophy.
His "trading place" and the derived business system are the places where his "rules" and "reasons" are expanded.
The plural rules, the self-contained "rule group", are the threshold of the eighth level. Ping An has never stopped, but his path seems to have to be practiced by mortals.
At this time, something seems to be trying to invade its own territory and steal the faith of its people?
"Cat cat?"
"I've heard of Meow. But it seems to be a primitive religious Meow that worships the 'Tree of Lights'." Hearing this name, Lu Ping'an felt a little strange.
"Is there someone behind the scenes?"
"There is no meow. The prototype seems to be that if you worship a tree and make a wish, you can gain extraordinary power, meow."
"This does not mean that the faith behind the scenes should be me."
"No, it's a tree meow or a lamp tree meow. They are regarded as the source of 'wishes'." Maomao shook his head, denying Lu Ping'an's guess.
Hearing this, Lu Ping'an was a little dumbfounded.
As Lu Ping'an's most trusted personal follower, Maomao has also become his de facto bodyguard and chief intelligence officer.
In her daily life, she was asked to summarize a lot of information, and she naturally understood this kind of information. In fact, Maomao's performance was far better than Lu Ping An expected.
What surprised Lu Ping'an now was that he originally thought it was because some big bosses had crossed the line, but he didn't expect it to be the so-called "natural faith".
In fact, because Lu Pingan was indeed "working", other big bosses were quite friendly to him. Lu Pingan was also curious about which one suddenly crossed the line.
"Leave it alone? Or ban meow?"
Now that Lu Ping'an has asked about it, Intelligence Maomao also naturally asks about how to handle it.
"Process it, guide it, guide their faith to the God of Redemption, and say that the lamp tree is a beacon of the God of Redemption and can guide them to have the power to protect themselves."
During this period, Guan Xinxian's doctrine of the Redemption Church/Chamber of Commerce was also being compiled. Since there was an opportunity, Lu would naturally add fuel to the fire.
What happens if you don't boot?
"Nothing will happen. Beliefs are directional and can interact." Big Cat responded affirmatively.
During this period, everyone was making rapid progress. The last time he saw Guan Xinxian, Lu Ping'an already felt that he couldn't see through him.
Now, Lu Ping An is still trying to add human anchors to it as much as possible to avoid directly becoming a "mechanical godhead" when it is time to become a god.
After getting rid of the sudden new job, dating and shopping continued.
"Is this the idol?"
In a small jewelry store, Lu Pingping looked at some lantern tree decorations.
To be honest, it is much more exquisite than expected. It not only simulates the texture of the lamp tree, but also creates a luminous pattern that resembles the sun. At the top, it also draws an imaginary "sun".
And when Lu Ping'an observed with his spiritual vision, he did see the "will" on it.
This is a kind of existence that is difficult to understand. This is not a statue of a god with a crystal of divine power. It is probably just an object of "belief" that some people regard it as.
"Something's wrong."
Looking at this seemingly ordinary iron statue, Lu Pingan felt something was wrong inexplicably.
He held it in his hand and turned it over for a while, but there seemed to be no difference.
This is a quite interesting "artwork". In order to express the image, the emblem of the sun on the top of the sculpture seems to be the phoenix in Eastern legend.
"The Eye of Truth."
Lu Ping'an looked at it, and there seemed to be a faint line spreading into the void.
At this moment, Lu Ping'an remembered the "interesting stories" he saw on the contact page two days ago.
"Interesting boss, I bought these statues for how much they cost. They will be sent directly to the city government office later."
After putting down the statue, Lu Ping'an didn't rush to pursue it. Since it was rare to come out today, he naturally had a lot of fun.
By midnight, Lu Ping'an's room was already filled with a pile of dismantled statues of the smashed tree.
He actually pulled some weird stuff out of it.
"The problem is not the tree, but the sun, isn't it the phoenix in it?"
Lu Ping'an thought of some "interesting conversations" he saw on the contact board two days ago.
"Have you met anyone? There is something stealing faith."
"Stealing faith? You don't mean some of us, right? This is a very serious accusation. Is there any evidence?"
"Yes, my statue has the sacred pattern of a three-headed dragon drawn on it."
"Three-headed dragon? That shouldn't be one of ours, right?"
The next day, Lu Ping'an also posted his experience to Sir Xiuyi's contact board.
"I also encountered a 'fake idol' here. Someone is stealing faith."
This kind of thing is actually quite difficult to detect. After all, it is difficult to manipulate indicators such as statues and sacred paintings. It is time-consuming and of little use. Basically, it can only be used to fool mortals.
A professional's "beacon" is countless times that of ordinary mortals, and professionals need to connect with gods. If they cannot get feedback, they will naturally notice that there is a problem.
These fragmentary beliefs are not very effective, but can easily anger the original owners of the statues. They are not cost-effective at all and only fools would do it.
"I've done it before to disgust Lin Nu," the big cat said.
Well, even if existence is valuable, since it is really harmful to others, there is nothing to evaluate.
"Besides, I haven't offended anyone. The significance of this aspect is not great in the first place. I have no intention of collecting beacons and beliefs now."
"Then he can only be a thief. Even if he only has a little faith, it is urgently needed."
Lu Ping'an just revealed the fact that he was not the first to have problems with the gap, nor was he the last.
And multiple examples also made many big bosses realize that something was wrong. When they took this matter seriously and began to investigate the statues related to them in the territory, they naturally discovered more things that were wrong.
"There are currently six discovered, including a three-headed dragon, a phoenix, a dog, a giant scorpion, and a long-handed tribe and a whale."
If you really check it carefully, you will quickly find something wrong with this kind of large-scale "stealing of electricity".
"Is it an ancient mythical beast?"
At this time, the bosses had not realized what was wrong with the situation.
"It should be that in previous wars, most of them were awakened, some of them were killed by their opponents, and some of them fell asleep again."
"It's weird, why do they want to believe in the Taoist sign? They are born with nature and don't need this kind of nutrition at all."
"Could it be that they plan to imitate us and grow professionals to become gods? That path is not suitable for them. Maybe they will become weaker after evolution."
It's a bit strange, but no one takes it seriously. After all, these ancient beasts, which were originally awakened by the world's consciousness and used as cannon fodder, are not low in strength but generally have low IQs. The threat to everyone is quite limited, and they are more like an exploitable natural disaster.
.
"Just leave it alone"
However, high-end professionals in the life system often have inexplicable fanaticism for super creatures. An eighth-level professional or above directly followed the clues and tried to find the three-headed dragon that "stealed electricity".
Then, he died.
Everyone was a little surprised, some even laughed at him for capsizing in the gutter, until His Excellency Shuichi brought his last words.
"Personality fragments! The personality fragments of the world consciousness are in those mythical beasts! He is trying to make the world consciousness regain its personality by ascending to the gods!
