"certainly."
“Everyone has his or her own ambitions, and this cannot be forced.”
Pope Shenhua smiled faintly, as if he didn't care about Lu Li's threat at all.
In fact, from the beginning, he didn't think that a character like Lu Li would give up his persistence and agree with the philosophy of God's religion just because of his few words.
After all, even Pope Shenhua himself feels that there are big problems with the concept of divine religion. But this has become an irreversible matter. Unless the entire divine religion is purged, otherwise, the biggest problem of the divine religion cannot be solved by constantly changing the 'pope' by means of consciousness division.
Because some problems are already doomed from the beginning.
Regardless of whether the original intention of the divine religion is to save the world, using 'faith' to attract a group of crazy people to form a force has its advantages and disadvantages, but the biggest advantage is that the cohesion is far greater than other forces. On the other hand, every time 'self' is lost and a new self is born, it will be difficult to quickly regain the position of the pope, and it will inevitably encounter very stubborn resistance.
Therefore, every change of pope is a bloodbath for the divine religion.
"You, the one who currently holds the power of the divine religion, should have thought of a way to deal with you."
Lu Li also said calmly: "If my guess is correct, you have some kind of power that can threaten him, but he has controlled the entire divine religion to be your enemy, which makes you a little bit unable to let go. How to turn the matter into a confrontation that belongs only to you. Now the other you has prepared a killing plan against you, waiting for you to jump in in the imperial capital. You know it is a trap, but you still go, I say Is it right?"
"Yes, what you said is true." Pope Shenhua smiled and said: "This 'rule' was also set by me. Whenever a new me wakes up, the power of divine light will be used for me. I call it 'divine punishment'. It's actually a mechanism that transfers the authority of the divine light to the newly born me, and the previous me will lose control of the divine light."
"Is divine light the strongest power you have?"
Lu Li frowned, remembering the blazing white light that almost burned him to ashes.
"Divine light is the most perfect creation of the divine religion, and it is also the weapon I use to balance myself."
Pope Shenhua said: "However, the other me controls all the power of the divine religion. Lies about gods cannot deceive everyone, especially since I am the one who exposes this lie."
"You mean that many people in today's divine religion no longer believe in your nonsense?" Lu Li didn't understand what Pope Shenhua meant at first, after all, his words were too convoluted.
But Lu Li quickly reacted and said with a faint smile: "Pope Shenhua, who dedicated everything to the gods, exposed the lies of the gods himself. This should be a big blow to the devout believers of the gods. .”
"No, you don't understand."
Pope Shenhua said in an extremely serious tone: "The reason why I can become the Pope is not because of 'faith', but because I have the ability to infect other people."
"If I say to them fight for God, they will fight for God. If I say... fight for freedom, they will forget about gods and fight for freedom."
"As long as I say it, they will believe it. This is the real reason why I can become the pope."
"In other words, your ability to deceive is too strong. If you temporarily give those idiots a reason to fight, they will believe you without hesitation and kill everyone who stands in your way?"
Lu Li suddenly felt speechless.
It turns out that the divine religion was established only because Pope Shenhua was so good at deceiving
But think about it, besides profit, what else can make a group of strong warriors believe in those dogmas like magic sticks
Among them, 50% is that the divine religion can really come up with something that makes them excited, and the remaining 50% should be the "skill" of the Shenhua Pope.
"Let's get down to business." Lu Li shook his head and stopped worrying about this point. He said calmly: "Now our goal is very clear. You want to get back the Divine Religion, and I want to get back the Tianbu. Of course, if you exist, Being able to bring some trouble to the Divine Religion is something I would like to see. So it is not impossible for us to cooperate. As long as we have the same interests, even enemies can temporarily join forces to cooperate."
"Then how do you want to cooperate?" Pope Shenhua did not mean to refuse.
In fact, from the beginning, his attitude was extremely cooperative, so cooperative that even Lu Li found it a bit incredible.
Even if his current situation is indeed very bad, the process of taking back the Divine Religion is full of twists and turns, and his opponent is another self who knows him very well. If it were other people, faced with such a difficult situation, even if they would not despair, they would hold on to the idea of death together, regardless of the trump card, not caring at all about the casualties of the divine cult, but they must first destroy the opponent.
However, no one would seek help from others on such matters.
But Pope Shenhua had an attitude of asking for help from the very beginning, which made many of the words Lu Li had prepared useless. At the same time, he also began to wonder if Pope Shenhua had any other plans. .
First, he told himself a lot of things that were similar to the truth of the world, and then defined the Divine Religion as the savior of the world. Lu Li wondered in his mind what the Shenhua Pope was planning.
Want to woo yourself into joining the cult
wrong.
In the current situation, another Shenhua Pope has a reason to win over him. On the contrary, the somewhat embarrassed Pope Shenhua in front of him had no need to win over him.
The power of the reformists was not strong in the first place, and Pope Shenhua did not expect these wastes abandoned by the religion to come back. The trump card in his hand that can really turn the situation around should be something other than divine light. So trying to win over yourself at this time is not very helpful.
Then why did he have to seek help from himself
While Lu Li was thinking silently in his heart, the Shenhua Pope suddenly said: "The Shenhua Church is only temporarily borrowing the power of the Tianbu. Even if you don't join forces with me, the Tianbu will be abandoned soon."
Lu Li raised his eyebrows and sneered, "If that's the case, why would the Divine Cult instigate rebellion against the leader of the Heavenly Tribe?"
Two leaders and three envoys, this is almost all the top leaders of Tianbu.
The Divine Religion must have spent a lot of effort in instigating these people to rebel. Pope Shenhua now says that the Divine Religion only temporarily borrows the power of the Ministry of Heaven. Who believes it
"Because the interests of the Divine Religion and the Tianbu overlap."
Pope Shenhua explained: "Tianbu is the organization responsible for intelligence work. They should have discovered some clues long ago. Even if they have not yet touched the truth of the world, they must have seen the conspiracies hidden behind martial arts. Tianbu is really loyal to The target from the beginning to the end has only been the Holy Kingdom of Devouring Heaven, and the Divine Religion has never harmed the interests of Holy Kingdom of Devouring Heaven, so what reason does the Tianbu have for not joining forces with the Divine Religion?"
"You think it's inciting rebellion, but for Tianbu, maybe it's just cooperation."
"Then what did Jitian Demon Kingdom say?"
Lu Li said: "This war between the Jitian Demon Kingdom and the Devouring Heaven Holy Kingdom must be the work of the Divine Cult, right? If you want to create heavenly beings, you need a lot of flesh and blood. The soldiers sacrificed in a war can just satisfy your short-term needs. needs. If Tianbu really thinks from the perspective of the Heaven-Swallowing Holy Kingdom, how could it be possible to join forces with crazy people like you?"
This was one of the reasons why Lu Li refused to fully believe in the Shenhua Pope.
The Divine Religion wants to create man-made heavenly beings, and the most important elements are, in addition to divine power, the flesh and blood of Poseidon Generals, and the bloodline of heavenly beings, there is also flesh and blood.
Lots of flesh and blood!
No matter if you are a warrior or a mortal.
Only flesh and blood can support the bloody experiments of the cult and provide raw materials for them to continue to create artificial life.
Pope Shenhua pursed his lips, but in the end he did not defend the religion.
As he said, the experiment of the divine religion may be the thing he regrets the most, but it is also something absolutely unavoidable.
But he finally said: "You don't need to worry about the Tianbu matter. There is still the possibility of cooperation between you and me. But before that, I have something that I need your help with."
