As "prehistoric ruins" were "discovered" everywhere, and information on various "prehistoric civilizations" was unearthed, this mysterious culture became popular throughout the Dawn World. They would use some prehistoric words as totems or patterns to decorate their clothes, carriages, houses, etc. However, because more people are not very clear about the true meaning of those words, it is quite funny to Ye Zan and others.
Culture has become so popular, but this kind of culture can only be regarded as entertainment, at least for most people. But if we really want to establish a sect, recruit disciples, and let people give up their original power system and learn about this "prehistoric civilization", this will really involve people's vital interests.
It's like there is a country where people, out of their pursuit of fashion, spontaneously learn some other countries' texts and languages. However, if you want them to completely give up their mother tongue and switch to a so-called fashionable and advanced language of a certain country as their mother tongue, most people will definitely not be willing to do so.
In other words, just like farmers in backward times, they have grown the same crops for generations. Maybe after they have eaten and drank enough, they will open a plot of land in their own courtyard and grow some exotic fruits and vegetables to taste the freshness. However, no one would be willing to take out all their own fields to plant these uncertain things. After all, for them, if they delay a season's crops, their family may starve to death.
In the same way, the people of the Dawn World have been developing for more than 30,000 years under the power system of knights and magic. For them, this kind of power system may not be the best, but it is definitely the most stable and reassuring. After all, it has been verified by so many predecessors. Therefore, when faced with other choices, especially those with an uncertain future, few people would dare to gamble their future on this one.
Not everyone has a pioneering spirit!
Why are there only a few people who can break through every wave of the times? In addition to more people being beaten to death by the waves, the vast majority of people did not dare to move at all. The vast majority of people will only wait for the tide to subside and make sure there are no more risks before going to see if there are any benefits to be gained. But at this time, the real greatest benefits have already been taken into the hands of a few pioneers who broke through the waves.
The same goes for the people in the Dawn World. Facing a relatively new power system that is a remnant of prehistoric civilization, how many people dare to risk their lives rashly? Only when a group of role models appear and prove that this road is safe and reliable will people learn to follow behind.
Therefore, it is certainly easier to establish a sect at this time, but it is difficult to gain anything if you want to recruit disciples.
"Regarding this matter, I think we should first use the name of Dawn Church to pave the way for the establishment of a branch sect in the name of the church." Faced with Mo Rushi's request, Ye Zan told his plan on this matter.
"In the name of the Church of Dawn?" Although Mo Rusi understood what it meant, he felt somewhat awkward. After all, from his point of view, the Yuqing Sect belongs to the orthodox Taoist sect, and even the branches it establishes are "nobler" than the barbarian churches. Therefore, entrusting the Yuqing Branch Sect to the Church of Dawn somewhat loses its identity.
"Don't think so much. The Church of Dawn is now in our hands. To use a common saying, it's like 'the meat rots in the pot'. When the 'preaching' is successful, your Yuqing branch can completely turn around and The Church of Dawn will take its place, so there is nothing to hesitate about," Ye Zan said, shaking his head.
Thinking like this is naturally a "pedantic view" in Ye Zan's opinion. However, this cannot be blamed on Mo Ru. After all, people in the entire monastic world have little experience in aggression. The first time the monastic world came into contact with the outer world was when it was invaded by the wizards from the outer world. There was no chance to invade others.
Therefore, the thoughts of people in the world of monasticism are generally similar to those of the ancient Hua Kingdom in the technological world of Earth. The ancient Hua Kingdom used to be very concerned about face, even to the extent of pretending to be fat. At that time, the small countries surrounding Guhua Kingdom always brought random things as tribute. After they performed a "All Nations Come to Court" for the emperor of the ancient Hua Kingdom, they could get back tens of millions of times the reward.
"Your Majesty is far-sighted!" After listening to Ye Zan's words, Mo Ru finally figured it out.
"Well, in this way, the Church of Dawn will come forward to set up a so-called research institution on prehistoric civilization, and you and Qi Qianjun will be in charge of everything. Of course, you should also understand that the statement that all research institutions are open to the outside world can actually be regarded as A foundation for the Yuqing branch. From time to time, we still need to release some things to the outside world to seduce the outside world's curiosity about prehistoric civilization." Ye Zan said in more detail.
"Your Majesty, this method is very good. Disciple, go and prepare now." Mo Ru quickly accepted the order.
Soon, the Church of Dawn announced that it would establish a special research institution in order to study the recently excavated prehistoric relics. This research institution is divided into two parts, one is the real "research" and the other is the verification of the "research results". To put it bluntly, this so-called verification of "research results" is used by the Yuqing branch to recruit disciples to preach.
But Mo Ru and Qi Qianjun, his master and disciple, became the directors of this research institution as the bishops of the Dawn Church.
"In the study of prehistoric civilization, we discovered that prehistoric civilization had a set of rules that were different from ours in the inheritance of knowledge. In order to let us feel the magic of prehistoric civilization more personally, I decided to use this set of rules. Used in our research institute. For example, master and apprentice..." After Mo Ru became the director of the Institute of Prehistoric Civilization, he quickly introduced the master-disciple rules of the monastic sect in the name of research results.
The Institute of Prehistoric Civilization may sound a bit like an institution found only in the technological world. However, you must know that in the Church of the Dawn, there was originally an Inquisition. Therefore, the Institute of Prehistoric Civilization is, strictly speaking, an institution parallel to the Inquisition.
After the establishment of the Institute of Prehistoric Civilization, in addition to recruiting some people from church believers, it also openly recruited a group of people from the "whole society." However, only some of them can become disciples of the Yuqing branch, and some of them are actually scholars participating in "research."
After all, the name of this institution was to "study" the things found in those ruins. Therefore, even Mo Ru and Qi Qianjun can directly take out the complete versions of those things. But in order to avoid arousing suspicion, they still need some outsiders to come here and put on a show.
However, even if Mo Ru and Qi Qianjun knew the complete information, it would not be that easy to convince the outsider. They can't just take things out and ask people to follow them. They have to give the principles of these things so that outsiders can truly believe them. For example, when faced with a math problem, it's not enough for you to know what the final correct answer is. You have to come up with the ideas and processes for solving the problem.
Of course, Ye Zan doesn't have to worry about these things.
After things have reached this stage, it is actually a matter of time, waiting for the monastic civilization to erode the civilization of the Dawn World bit by bit.
It is not that there is no resistance on the Dawn World side. After all, in addition to the natives of the Dawn World, there are also many descendants of wizards who serve as "colonial governors" here. Those descendants of wizards know more than the natives of the Dawn World, especially those with a certain level of strength, such as those at the Yuanshen level and the Dharma level.
The war between the wizarding world and the monastic world has been going on for countless thousands of years. How could they still not understand each other? Moreover, the wizarding world has a big advantage over the monastic world, that is, there is no isolation between the upper and lower levels.
In the world of monasticism, because the heaven and earth were torn apart, it was difficult for true immortals to come to the "mortal world". This resulted in that some of the information obtained by the Immortal Court about the evil spirits outside the world was never well conveyed to the cultivators in the mortal world. Of course, it is also because the Immortal Court guards the entrance to the two realms, the ascetics hardly have to face the evil spirits outside the world, and knowing that information is of little use.
The wizarding world is not as miserable as the monastic world. The world is very complete, and there are no shackles of heaven and earth. Although, because the top wizard is too powerful, in order to avoid bringing any disaster to the "ants", he will not come in person easily. However, the information between them is smooth, so that the wizards at the bottom will also know something about the world of monasticism.
Therefore, after the concept of "Tao" appeared, the wizards who were sitting in the Dawn World finally thought of the world of monasticism.
Moreover, although the powerful people at the world guardian level have been dragged away by the powerful men of the monastic world. But those world guardians will still reveal some information about the invasion of the monastic world to the descendants of wizards. Combined with the news of the invasion of the world of monasticism and the emergence of the concept of "Tao", no matter how slow those wizards are, they should have thought of something.
As mentioned before, the descendants of wizards have always controlled the highest ruling class in this world. Including the Church of Dawn, the royal families and nobles of various countries are basically descendants of wizards or people who belong to the wizarding world.
Now, the Church of Dawn was secretly taken over by Ye Zan, but the royal families and nobles of various countries still hold considerable power.
Faced with such a situation, the descendants of wizards were not stupid, so of course they had to take some measures accordingly. Soon, the royal families of several countries issued announcements to their citizens, demanding a boycott of the so-called prehistoric civilization. At the same time, they also sent envoys to the Church of Dawn to see what the Church of Dawn was going to do or what happened.
You must know that civilians have a natural rebellious mentality towards the ruling class. The more suppressed they are, the more desirable they are. There have been some examples in the technology world where as long as something is labeled "banned", even garbage will be highly sought after by people. The more you say you are not allowed to do this, the more people want to know what will happen if you do it.
As a result, after several countries issued boycott laws, people's enthusiasm for prehistoric civilization has only increased. At the beginning, it was only those who had some connections and had real access to information about prehistoric civilization, and they were quite enthusiastic about prehistoric civilization. But after the boycott law was passed, people who had no channels to contact them immediately became curious and started to find channels to learn about this matter on their own.
The descendants of wizards saw that the law seemed to have no effect, but they did not dare to really kill them. After all, they all know now that the world is not as safe as before. Now, since people from the monastic world use this method to invade, this is equivalent to giving a rule of the game.
If it were in the past, of course the descendants of wizards would not have to worry about the rules. The right to interpret all the rules was in their hands anyway. But now, no world guardian can be found, and they no longer have the most solid backer. Therefore, even if they know that abiding by the rules will lead to bad consequences, they do not dare to take the risk of breaking the rules first, for fear that the opponent will be more unscrupulous without rules.
In fact, it is not unusual for descendants of wizards to have such thoughts. This is like a person falling into the water. Even if he catches a straw, even if he knows that the straw cannot save him, he will cling to it and put his hope in it. Life-saving straw does not mean that straw can really save lives, but it actually represents people's despair.
Descendants of wizards, I hope there is really a rule that allows the ascetics and themselves to play this game according to the rules. Although, this rule may be false, and the other party may not abide by this rule very casually. However, they want to regard this rule as their own life-saving straw, hoping that if they do not throw away this straw, the other party can really play the game according to the rules of the game.
Soon, envoys from various countries arrived at the Holy Land of Dawn Church and met the current pope and archbishops of the church. Of course, the pope and archbishops are actually played by Ye Zan's people. The real pope, archbishop and other high-level church officials have long become the nourishment of the small world.
These envoys did not know that the Pope had changed. After seeing the Pope, each of them eagerly asked about what had happened recently.
"Your Majesty the Pope, you must have some understanding of the true origin of that prehistoric civilization. We really can't understand why the church would play such a role in this matter."
"Your Majesty the Pope, the current situation is that the emergence of this so-called prehistoric civilization has greatly shaken the foundation of the world. I hope the church can give us a reasonable explanation on this matter!"
