Of course, the Lord of Glory was not the only god who praised the "republic" proposed by Sui Xiong. Next, Veilleux listed many gods, many of whom were famous. What surprised him the most was that the God of the Sky of the Natural God System also spoke highly of this system.
When he heard this, he couldn't help being shocked and asked: "If I remember correctly, isn't the God of the Sky the God of Nature? Why would He be interested in the national system of mortals?"
"Who are you asking me about? I also heard about this incident indirectly." Weiye smiled and shook his head, "You don't think that I can talk to His Majesty because I have many friends, do you? We have different statuses. So many, impossible!”
Sui Xiong thought for a while and smiled.
The God of Faith and the God of Nature belong to two camps. Although they are not hostile to each other, it is difficult to develop friendship. Weyer was able to strike up a conversation and find out what the Sky God said about the Republic, which was already extremely impressive, comparable to the "inquisitive" character in an old-fashioned love game. If he could actually ask the God of the Sky himself, Sui Xiong would have to wonder if this guy was a peerless master of pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger...
"What does the God of the Sky say about the Republic?" he asked with a smile.
"His Majesty said that this system is conducive to the flow of social classes. Compared with the aristocratic enfeoffment system, it can better reflect the principle of survival of the fittest. Moreover, it is far better for the strong to receive corresponding status due to their contributions than to be powerful itself. He said that this system is closer to the evolution of nature and is a commendable innovation.”
Sui Xiong couldn't help but nodded repeatedly. Although he did not completely agree with the Sky God's views, he had to admit that the Sky God's evaluation of the republic from a natural perspective was very inspiring to him.
It took Weiye almost half an hour to finish telling what he knew about the gods' evaluations of the republic. Most of the reviews are positive, but there are also negative ones - for example, the Lord of War has a bad review of it. This violent and aggressive god feels that the Republic pays too much attention to the interests of civilians and does not protect the interests of the strong enough. .
"No, the strong have far more power than ordinary people, and can easily obtain higher honors and status. Isn't this a good guarantee?" Sui Xiong asked in confusion.
"That's what the Lord of War said. I don't know exactly what it means." Weyer shook his head, "But I think he may mean that he wants the strong to have greater power, for example, to establish a complete rule of the strong. Everything, social status is determined by force, ordinary people either become stronger or can only be slaves - that kind of society."
Sui Xiong thought for a while and shook his head: "I don't agree with this. It seems that he and I are not the same people."
For Sui Xiong, the reason why he wants to promote social progress and development is that he has witnessed the hard life of civilians in the world and hopes to do something for these exploited and oppressed working people. This is his original intention and his fundamental principle that cannot be compromised.
The birth of the republic was actually his compromise of his own ideas in response to reality.
In this world, the strong are the most important foundation for the progress of productivity. This cannot be denied.
However, Sui Xiong definitely does not agree with the idea that the strong should possess everything, and production resources should be allocated entirely according to the degree of strength.
For a society to progress, the people at the bottom are the foundation. Without this foundation, the so-called "culture of the strong" is nothing more than a castle in the air that will collapse soon.
Apart from anything else, without the huge number of civilians to provide population from generation to generation, where would the strong come from? Just rely on the descendants of those strong men
It was almost a social form similar to that of the giant dragons, and the dragon clan was famously sparse in population.
Many people have a wrong understanding, thinking that the dragon population is small because of their low fertility rate. In fact, this is not the case at all. The fertility rate of most giant dragons is not low. Common five-color dragons can give birth almost once every hundred years, giving birth to two to three offspring each time. Considering their powerful strength and long lifespan, this fertility rate is already very high. .
But why are the dragon population still so small? This involves mentioning their somewhat perverted social form.
In the society of giant dragons, the strong trample on the weak at will, taking whatever they want. The mortality rate of juvenile dragons and young dragons has always been astonishingly high, and most of them died at the hands of the same kind - several advanced professions common to giant dragons More than half of them are dedicated to restraining giant dragons, which is evident from this.
This crazy natural elimination has greatly increased the average combat effectiveness of the dragons, but it has also made it impossible for the population to grow. If it hadn't been for the contemporary Dragon King's unreasonable attitude to push for a law more than ten thousand years ago, strictly prohibiting the killing of lower-level dragons after robbery by upper-level dragons, I'm afraid the population would have shrunk to the point of disarray!
Therefore, Sui Xiong scoffed at the War Lord's criticism.
He even secretly felt that perhaps he would have to have a fight with the Lord of War in the future to defeat the other party.
This thought just flashed through his mind, and even he didn't care about it.
After Veyer finished recounting the praises and criticisms, Morani also spoke. He was talking about the views of the orc god Le Font on the republic.
"His Majesty the Sky-Swallowing Dog asked me to tell you that he thinks your system is very innovative and seems to be very suitable for orcs. If you can't continue to promote it in human society, you are welcome to join the orc pantheon. Your Majesty Le Font is willing to let you You go and preside over the social transformation of the Orc Empire."
Sui Xiong was taken aback, widened his eyes and asked, "Did you hear that right? He said, 'I am willing to preside over the social transformation of the Orc Empire'? The republic and the empire are simply two different things!"
"I asked the same thing at the time, and he said, 'The orcs are not a cultural group, and they don't have any special traditions. As long as they can become bigger and stronger, let alone a republic, even if the emperor takes turns, there is nothing wrong with it.'"
"He is really tolerant..." Sui Xiong muttered, but couldn't help but ask, "Then, what if I can keep the Northwest Republic in good order?"
"I also asked this question at the time, and He said, 'Then let's just be neighbors. Anyway, I believe that jellyfish will never be racist like some narrow-minded people - even if they are to discriminate, they will not be particularly racist against orcs.' .”
Sui Xiong shook his head and smiled.
"The Sky-Swallowing Dog" Le Fond is really a tolerant person. He is so easy-going. I don't know how he can control the big scene of the orc god system.
"Brother, what do you think of my system?" After he smiled, he looked at the God of Justice who had been silent since just now.
The God of Justice's face was solemn. He carefully looked at the founding ceremony of the Northwest Republic being held below and pondered silently.
He woke up when Sui Xiong asked the question for the second time, but did not answer. Instead, he looked at Sui Xiong doubtfully.
"Brother, I don't understand your thoughts more and more." He said, "Why did you establish this country?"
"Promoting my ideals and protecting my believers, why else?" Sui Xiong answered matter-of-factly.
"If that's the case, then why don't you establish the Church of the Mask of the Void as the state religion of the Northwest Republic?"
"State religion?" Sui Xiong was stunned. Of course he had thought about this before, but he always felt that it was awkward when viewed by a theocratic country. It always reminded him of some barbarians who wanted to go back to the seventh century in the twenty-first century.
Sui is not talented, but he still doesn't bother to do those perverse things!
But the gods of this world would not understand what he said. After much thought, he finally came up with an answer.
"If a national religion is established, I will become the patron saint of this country." He said half-seriously, "I would like to be a guardian, but I don't want to be a patron saint."
"To protect a certain region, a certain country, or a certain nation, to be honest, it is a good priesthood." Morani advised, "For the new gods, it is a very reliable priesthood, and you don't have to worry about being with others. I think it’s good when there’s conflict.”
"Yes, starting with the patron saint is the best way for a new god to start." Veyer also persuaded him.
The goddess of wealth, Mannis, did not join in the persuasion. She felt that the ally of Mask of the Void was unpredictable. Since he was unwilling to be the patron saint, there must be important reasons. Instead of persuading in vain, talk about something meaningful.
So when Sui Xiong smiled and declined everyone's suggestions, he asked: "Do you plan to continue to maintain the state of freedom of belief in the Northwest Republic?"
Sui Xiong nodded: "I think faith should be free. Only faith that comes from the recognition of God's ideas can be called meaningful faith."
"In this case, how do you plan to manage various churches, temples and clergy?" Mannis continued to ask, "I noticed that you did not mention this aspect at all in the republican documents."
Sui Xiong was silent for a moment and sighed.
"This... is difficult to handle!"
In this world, after all, "divine power" is the foundation of all power. Sui Xiong is not the kind of madman who really wants to cut down the world with a knife. He is also very aware of his own abilities and has no intention of challenging the nature of this theocratic society.
Therefore, he avoided questions about gods, churches, and the like.
"It has to be done even if it's difficult." Mannis advised, "Many of the gods are hostile. If you really want to allow various churches to preach freely, I can bet that within three to five years, in the Northwest Republic Serious disputes will break out among various churches, what will you do then?"
Sui Xiong was silent for a long time, sighed deeply, forced a smile and said.
"At that time, I will only have one sentence left."
"What words?"
"Preaching... must also comply with the Basic Law."
